Chapter three hundred and seventy-two brothers and sisters go home
Zhang Junping moved to Shichahai, a courtyard house he just bought.
The courtyard is not big, the courtyard is the first to enter, but Old Fengtou has neatly tidied it up and it is very elegant.
The most important thing is that it fits Zhang Junping's wishes, so I didn't do much after I bought it.
It was just a simple renovation of the toilet.
Converted from dry toilet to flush toilet.
Moving was also simple, just pack up his and Huang Xue's clothes and move them to Shichahai.
In addition, the antiques recovered by Zhang Junping are either stored in the warehouse of the furniture factory or in the old lady's collection room.
Don't worry about him.
After moving, Zhang Junping returned to the alley of Dongmi City to meet the old lady, and together they went to the airport to pick her up.
Originally, Zhang Junping asked the old lady to wait at home while he took the car to pick him up, but the old lady disagreed and insisted on going in person.
Zhang Junping once again saw the old lady's connections. In addition to the old lady's own car, there were also three Polonaises with military plates on the way to the airport to pick up people, and the drivers were all military personnel.
"Old lady, why do I think you're a little nervous?" Zhang Junping asked jokingly, seeing the old lady's hands shaking with excitement.
"You brat, why should I be nervous?" the old lady said angrily.
"You haven't seen your senior brothers, senior sisters, and senior nieces for several years, right? Is this called cowardice of being close to home?" Zhang Junping said deliberately and rudely.
"Go! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! It's your senior brothers and sisters who are timid about being close to home."
At about half past twelve, a Boeing 747 landed at the airport.
Zhang Junping helped the old lady to the exit of the airport.
"Hurry up and hold up the sign!" Seeing someone coming out, the old lady urged.
"Okay!" Zhang Junping quickly raised the sign.
The old lady stood at the door. Every time someone came out, she stretched her neck to look at it expectantly.
Then he lowered his head in disappointment.
"Old lady, don't worry. I guess my senior brothers and sisters have a lot of luggage and have to pick it up, so they were wasted time." Zhang Junping consoled her.
"I know, I just missed my poor grandson, who had just learned how to run when I left!" The old lady's eyes were a little red.
While the two of them were talking, seven or eight people came out of the exit.
There are men and women in this group, old and young.
One of them, a middle-aged man in his fifties, saw Zhang Junping holding the sign, turned around and said something, and ran over quickly with a woman in her forties.
He walked closer and knelt down in front of the old lady.
"Mom, the unfilial son Luo Nianzu is back!"
"Mom, the unfilial daughter Luo Jiani is back!"
"Okay, okay! Just come back!" The old lady took a shaky step forward and touched the heads of the two people and said.
The old lady's health is fine and she eats deliciously. She is just a little excited today.
"mom!"
"Mom!" Luo Jiani hugged the old lady's legs and cried.
Several young people from behind also ran over quickly, hugging the old lady and shouting and crying.
Zhang Junping did not disturb their family reunion. He hid aside and watched quietly, feeling happy for the old lady in his heart.
After the old lady and the others vented for a while, Zhang Junping took a step forward.
"Old lady, it's already past one o'clock. My brothers and sisters have been flying for such a long time and they are all tired.
Let’s go home first and let senior brothers and sisters rest and have something to eat.”
As soon as Zhang Junping opened his mouth, everyone looked at him curiously.
"Let me introduce to you. This is what I told you in my letter. The apprentice I accepted is named Zhang Junping.
Xiao Pingzi is much more filial than you."
"Old lady, why don't you do this? Senior brother and sister just came back today, and you are trying to sow discord between us." Zhang Junping complained with a smile.
"Junior...junior brother, hello! Thank you for taking care of our old mother for our brothers and sisters!" The middle-aged man stepped forward and held Zhang Junping's hand tightly as he thanked her.
"Yes! Junior brother, thank you for taking care of me..."
"Senior brother, senior sister, what you are saying is a heretic. I am a serious teacher.
Once a teacher, always a father, it is only natural that I should be filial to my master." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group got in the car and left the airport.
When I got home, the meals were all prepared.
According to the old lady's request, I did not go to the hotel to greet my senior brothers and sisters.
Zhang Junping invited a chef from the textile factory to help cook the dishes at home.
The chef of the textile factory, his ancestor was an imperial chef and heir to the Tan family cuisine.
It's a bit similar to Silly Zhu in "Love in the Courtyard", but this chef is not stupid, he has good cooking skills and a good emotional intelligence.
The meal was very sumptuous, including seafood sent by the old lady's friends, abalone, sea cucumber and shark's fin that Zhang Junping had bought from someone else, as well as various delicacies such as roe deer meat, flying dragon and so on.
It can be called a delicacy from mountains and seas.
Of course, wine is indispensable for a wedding banquet.
What Zhang Junping doesn't lack most is wine.
"The old lady knows that I never drink!
But today, my brothers and sisters are back, so I will make an exception and have a drink like this." Zhang Junping first gave the old lady a cup to his brothers and sisters, and then he got a cup for himself.
"Junior brother, your cup is a bit small, isn't it?" Senior brother Luo Nianzu looked at his own cup, then at Zhang Junping's cup, and asked with a smile.
Luo Nianzu's and his others' cups were all tall glasses of twos and threes, while Zhang Junping's were small wine cups of eight cents each.
"Brother, I am allergic to alcohol. This is the third time I have drank since I was a child. The first two times I drank, I almost lost my life.
So, I have never drank alcohol since then.
This time, because my senior brother and sister are back, I am happy for Master, so I made an exception and had a drink like this." Zhang Junping explained quickly.
"Boss, please don't persuade your junior brother to drink. This is the first time my old lady has seen him drink." The old lady also spoke for Zhang Junping.
Luo Nianzu and the others went to England when they were very young and received education abroad, but they did not fall into the bad habit of teasing people to drink in China.
Knowing that Zhang Junping couldn't drink, he didn't force himself any further.
"Senior brother, senior sister, let's toast Master together first.
Master has been thinking about you all these years, although she never told me.
But, I know, I have seen Master holding your photos in a daze many times."
"Mom! We are unfilial and have made you suffer all these years!" Luo Nianzu choked and said.
Luo Jiani even covered her mouth and shed tears.
"Yes! It's my fault. I can't speak. Today is a great day for reunion, but I'm talking about such topics that make people cry." Zhang Junping said, lightly hitting himself, "I'll change the topic.
Let us wish Master a long life and be young and beautiful forever."
"You bastard! I'm almost seventy years old, but I'm still young and beautiful? Doesn't that make me an old monster?" the old lady scolded with a smile.
"Old lady, what you said is true. Your grace and temperament are undiminished now. No one who sees her can say a word. This old lady is so handsome!"
"You know you are poor like me!" The old lady reached out and hit Zhang Junping with a happy smile on her face.
"Mom, junior brother is absolutely right. You know we are mother and daughter, but if you don't know, you think we are sisters!" Senior sister Luo Jiani also laughed.
