Chapter 365 Competition Between Apprentices
"Yeah!" Zhang Xiu lowered his head and nodded lightly.
In fact, Zhang Fusheng asked Zhang Xiu to talk to Tong Mei. He knew that it would not be easy to do this with his son, so it would be better to go directly to his daughter-in-law.
It's just that Zhang Xiu didn't dare to go to Tong Mei directly, but went to Zhang Yan first.
"Xiu, please don't worry about this. I'll go talk to our father." Zhang Yan reached out and touched Zhang Xiu's head and said gently.
"Yes! I understand, brother!" Putting down the burden in his heart, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Xiu's face.
Zhang Xiu also knew that what happened years ago was very bad, so when Zhang Fusheng asked Zhang Xiu to talk to Tong Mei, Zhang Xiu was under great psychological pressure.
However, my father had to listen.
Zhang Xiu happily went out to play with her friends.
Zhang Yan sat in the main room and began to think about Zhang Fusheng.
Let Zhang Fusheng go out. Even if he doesn't go to resell antiques, he will definitely go to visit people.
Shopping around is no worse than smoking white noodles, it's also addictive.
It didn't matter if he dropped in. The key point was that Zhang Yan was worried that Zhang Fusheng would come back with a heart disease from outside, which would cause trouble.
However, if you don't let him go out, he may develop problems at home or act like a monster at home, which is also uncomfortable.
This dad really doesn't make people worry.
"Brother, everything is ready. When are you going?"
"Oh! Let's go, go now!" Zhang Yan didn't think about what to do, so he could only sigh and wait until the New Year comes.
Zhang Yan took his two younger brothers to his grandfather's house first.
"Master, uncle, aunt, are you at home?" Zhang Yan stood at the door of the yard and shouted inside.
"What are you shouting for? Come in quickly when you get home!" Grandpa shouted from inside the house.
Following the shouts of grandpa, the aunt and sister-in-law walked out of the house.
"Yanzi is here! Pingzi, Anzi, you have grown a lot taller this year!"
"Auntie, sister-in-law!" Zhang Yan greeted with a smile.
"Hey, brother's medicine is so powerful!" Zhang Ping and Zhang An said with a smile as they touched their heads.
"Yanzi, you still have to take care of the medicine for growing taller. Give your nephew some later so he can grow taller." The sister-in-law's eyes lit up and she said quickly.
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to their nonsense. I don't have any medicine to grow taller! They didn't grow taller because they were inactive and well-nourished when they were young.
After arriving in the city, I ate well and kept up with my nutrition, and then I started to thrive again.
Isn’t there a saying like, Twenty-three running around.
Gangzi and the others are not lacking in nutrition, and they will definitely not be shorter in the future." Zhang Yan explained with a smile.
"Really? Don't lie to me. What kind of medicine are they taking?" The sister-in-law looked at Zhang Yan in disbelief.
"Where is the medicine? It is the ointment that our Zhang family uses for martial arts training. It is an ointment that strengthens muscles and bones, activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis.
The two of them were pampered at home. When they first went to the city, I threw them into the loading and unloading team and trained them for several months. If there is no ointment, why not leave the root of the disease? "
"Oh! The medicine Pingzi mentioned refers to the ointment?" The sister-in-law finally believed it.
Ointment. Young people who practice boxing in the village will apply ointment to a certain level. It is said that if they don't apply ointment, their bodies will collapse.
"Master! Master, eldest brother, second brother..." Zhang Yan greeted each one after entering the house.
"Yanzi, when did you come back?"
"I just came back today. I came back with Brother Xing and the others."
"How is your father in the city? He didn't cause any trouble for you, did he?" Zhang Yan's grandfather asked, stroking his beard.
"No, my dad is very cool in the city. He catches fish when the weather is good, drinks tea, walks around and so on." Zhang Yan glanced at Zhang Ping and Zhang An, and then replied with a smile.
No matter how dissatisfied my father is, he is still his father. If there are some scandalous things that cannot be told outside, it is better not to tell them.
"Hingzi, Anzi, how is your work going? You have a partner now, so you have to work hard in the future."
"Sir, these two guys are doing fine this year. Pingzi showed off his skills to us some time ago and the food he made tastes pretty good.
In the evening, let Pingzi cook some dishes, let us have a few drinks, and try Pingzi's dishes by the way." Zhang Yan spoke for Zhang Ping with a smile.
"That's a good relationship! If not, you still know how to teach your children. If these two children continue to follow your father, they will probably still be second-rate by now." Zhang Yan's grandfather stroked his beard and smiled.
At this time, Zhang Xing, his wife, and his younger brothers and sisters also came to his grandfather's house.
Zhang Yan chatted with his grandfather for a while before leaving with his two younger brothers.
"Brother, why didn't you tell grandpa about our father just now?" Zhang Ping asked doubtfully after leaving grandpa's house.
"That's right, for what our father did, we have to let grandpa take care of him." Zhang An also followed suit.
"Come on! After saying this, apart from making the people in the second uncle's family look down on our father even more, what else can it do?
You two fools, haven't you noticed yet?
The way our father is now, my father deserves the most credit, and my mother is the second." Zhang Yan shook his head and said.
If it were in the past, Zhang Yan might have really talked about it with his grandfather, but after this year, he has grown a lot.
People are sophisticated in their ways and behave in a more sophisticated manner.
"Is Fifth Master at home?" Zhang Yan shouted standing at the door of the courtyard.
"Yanzi is here, come in quickly!" Aunt Yi came out and greeted her warmly.
Before entering the room, I heard that it was very lively inside and they were discussing something heatedly.
Zhang Yan pushed the door open and went in.
Good guy, there are really a lot of people in the room, and it's filled with smoke, as if we're in a fairyland.
There was a room of gentlemen, all of whom were heavy smokers. Each of them held this dry pipe and had a heated discussion while not forgetting to take a long sip.
"Yanzi is here. It just so happens that you are also the leader now. Please tell me what should be done about this matter." Uncle Yi saw Zhang Yan and smiled and waved to him.
"Uncle Yi, are you scolding me? What kind of leader am I? When I return to the village, I will be just a young man in the village." Zhang Yan walked to Zhang Fuyi's side with a smile.
"That's the thing. Didn't your second uncle become a leader in the city? The village is thinking of letting your second uncle do some activities and send a group of people to the city." Zhang Fuyi explained what they had just discussed.
"Fifth Master, Uncle Yi, how many people do you plan to send into the city?"
"You have brought more than thirty people into the city, why can't your second uncle bring hundreds of people into the city?" Before the fifth master and uncle Yi could speak, another clan elder spoke first.
This clan elder is called Third Grandpa by Zhang Yan, and he is a cousin to Zhang Yan's grandfather.
“Third Grandpa, it’s easy to get people into the city, but now that everyone has entered the city, what will we do in Zhangjiayu?
Fifth Master, you told me before that Zhangjiayu is the root of our old Zhang family and we can never give up at any time.
