Zhang Shengli hurried home. He had to go back and explain to his father what happened on the mountain.
Tang Rou, on the other hand, led her three classmates back home.
At this time, Tang's mother was busy in the kitchen, and there was a young man in the living room, lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching TV.
Hearing the noise outside, the young man immediately sat up.
"Sister, why did you come back?"
This young man is Tang Rourou's younger brother Tang Shuai. At this time, Tang Shuai's eyes have not been on his sister, but on Pan Meng and the three girls, looking back and forth.
"Are you my sister's classmates?" Tang Shuai quickly stepped forward to say hello and said, "Hello, my name is Tang Shuai, just call me Shuai Shuai."
As soon as this introduction came out, the three women all laughed.
At this time, Tang's mother also walked out of the kitchen and said quickly: "Hurry up and sit in the room!" She glared at Tang Shuai and said, "Why are you standing there stupidly? Go wash some fruits."
"What kind of delicious fruits are there in our family? Only the ones from my brother-in-law's family are delicious." At this point, Tang Shuai looked at the bag in Tang Rou's hand and said, "Sister, did you pick some and bring them back?"
After saying that, before Tang Rou could react, she grabbed the bag in her hand and said to Tang's mother, "Mom, I'm going to wash the fruits."
"This child!" Tang's mother laughed and said to the three girls: "She has been spoiled since she was a child, no matter how big or small. You haven't eaten yet, I will almost finish cooking."
The three girls could not see Tang's mother busy alone, so they quickly volunteered to help.
It didn't take long for laughter and laughter to be heard in the kitchen. Pan Meng was carefree and informal, and He Lulu was able to talk again, making Mother Tang laugh again and again.
At this time, Tang Shuai, who had already washed the fruits, also came over and said to Tang Rou: "Sister, we have a few days off anyway. You can take my mother and me to play with my brother-in-law tomorrow."
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, your sister is not married yet, how does it feel to be heard by outsiders?" Tang's mother glared at Tang Shuai.
"What's the difference? Sooner or later, I will get married. Now I don't even know how to go home. I have long regarded Zhangjiacun as my home." Tang Shuai muttered softly.
Tang Rou's face turned cold, she hit Tang Shuai hard on the head and cursed: "What are you talking about?"
"Auntie, come with us tomorrow. You don't know, but it's so fun there now. You can just go and play." He Lulu persuaded from the side.
"Yes, Auntie, I heard from Xiaorou that you haven't been there yet. Anyway, it's very advanced. Why don't we go there together tomorrow?"
"You can just go, I won't be able to walk anywhere else."
"Mom, let's go together tomorrow. Haven't you always said that there are few people in our village? I just want to go to get some scriptures tomorrow and see how they do it."
Tang's mother was tempted, but she was a little embarrassed.
Ever since Tang Rou and Zhang Shengli went on a blind date, she has never been to Zhangjiacun.
She heard about what happened in Zhangjiacun a month or two ago, and now everyone in the town knows about it.
There are often big trucks carrying fruits and vegetables, every household has built a new house, and people who work in other places have gone back...
There are various theories, and some say that Zhang Shengli from Zhangjia Village knew the people in the county and not only helped build roads, but also helped with development.
Although there are many such rumors, Tang's mother knows it very well. She has wanted to go for a long time, but she has been unable to lose face.
"Okay, mom will accompany you to see it tomorrow, but you need to prepare gifts."
Hearing Tang's mother relent, Pan Meng smiled and said, "What gifts are we preparing? It's too late for them to be happy if we can go."
"That's right, Auntie, we, Xiaorou, are going to get married. Even if we don't bring any gifts, do they dare to say no?"
Tang's mother shook her head and said, "That's not okay. How can you go to someone else's house and not buy a gift?"
After the discussion was completed, Tang Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
………
At this time, Zhang Shengli had just returned home and was preparing to eat when Tang Rou called.
When I heard that Tang's mother and future brother-in-law were coming tomorrow, everyone jumped up.
"Mom and Dad, Xiaorou is coming over tomorrow!"
"What? Come tomorrow." Zhang's mother was stunned, and then said: "Shengli's dad, go and prepare quickly, kill two of our chickens, and inform his uncle and his fourth aunt."
This series of arrangements frightened Zhang Shengli.
"Mom, why are you calling so many people?"
"You kid, I'm coming tomorrow not because of the matter between you and Xiaorou, but maybe because I'm planning to get married first, why don't I find some people to accompany me."
Zhang Shengli smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, you are overthinking. They are just coming to our place tomorrow to play."
"Nonsense, Xiaorou has her first day off, and she comes here at this time just to have fun?"
Come on, Zhang Shengli saw that he couldn't persuade him at all, so he had to take out his mobile phone and call Tang Rou.
"Mom, you can tell Xiaorou yourself."
Mother Zhang answered the phone. After a long time, listening to Xiaorou's explanation, she knew that she was overthinking it.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang's mother still insisted: "Even if you are here to play, you can't be too shabby. Tomorrow your father and I will not work in the fields. We will spend the whole day playing with them." After saying that, he put down the bowls and chopsticks,
Go get ready.
Zhang Shengli smiled bitterly.
At this time, Zhang Xinqiang asked: "Shengli, what's going on with the name Eagle?"
After thinking for a while, he said again: "I can tell that this man has been a soldier, and this time he has a gun on his shoulder."
Zhang Shengli had no intention of hiding it from his father, and said: "He was already injured when I met him in the mountains. The reason why Xiao Jin went down the mountain this time was related to them. Four people died in the mountain."
"Someone is dead? What happened?"
"I don't know the specifics, but Eagle is a retired soldier, and his identity is a bit sensitive. Even I don't know, but the people who died were Japanese."
Zhang Xinqiang fell into deep thought.
"According to my observation, the identities of these dead people are not simple."
"If we take care of this matter, there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
"I know this too, but I can't watch him die in the mountains, let alone a retired soldier."
"I understand. Don't tell anyone about this except your uncle. Including Xiaorou, so as not to cause anything to happen."
"I know, dad, you can rest assured about this, and I observed that this eagle is not a bad person. He probably offended some foreign forces during the previous mission, and that's why..."
"We don't have to worry about these things. We can just find him a job and let him settle in our village."
"Don't worry, Dad. I have already thought about this. He will be responsible for the security of our village from now on. To the outside world, he will be the security guard we hired."
"And the golden monkey, be careful not to let it have an accident, otherwise it will go to jail."
Zhang Shengli nodded. Of course he knew the stakes in these matters and told his father clearly so as not to worry him.
"You are not young now. You can make your own decisions on everything. You don't have to explain everything to me."
Zhang Xinqiang left a word, put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out.
