After dinner at Fang Mansion, Zhang San said goodbye to Fang Xuanling and Fang Yiai, got up and returned to Zhangjiacun. The people who went to Taiyuan Mansion to pick up his wife's family today should also have arrived.
As the head of the family, I have to show my face.
When Zhang San and Zhang Fu returned home, Aunt Song was killing chickens to prepare a dinner party. Before leaving, Zhang San had already given instructions that if the family members arrived today, a banquet would be held and a welcome dinner would be held in the evening.
"Sir, you are back. Just now Fugui said that the escort team has escorted the family members of the father and son back." Aunt Song said.
"Okay, Aunt Song will work hard for you and Sister-in-law Li today. Let's celebrate tonight." Zhang San said with a smile.
"Okay Sir, it's not hard, you have just come back and take a rest. We are here." Sister-in-law Li walked out wearing an apron and said.
Today's Zhangjia Village is very lively, and the school is temporarily closed for the day. Everyone is helping to settle the family members of these masters who have come from afar.
"Mom, this candy is so sweet, please try it!" A seven or eight-year-old child held up a candy in his hand and wanted to give his mother a taste. He had never eaten such a delicious thing before.
"If mother doesn't want to eat it, Hui'er will. Mother will move these things into the house first." A woman moved a patched quilt into the house. When she heard her child's words, she stopped and said dotingly.
said.
"Brother, this little wooden horse is very fun. Do you want to come and play with it?" A little boy about six or seven years old shouted to Hu Hui.
"Second brother, you can play. I want to help my mother move things. You should keep an eye on your sister." After Hu Hui finished speaking, he held a small baggage like a little adult and helped his mother move.
In the school dormitory area, everyone is busy tidying up the houses, and the previously vacant houses are all filled up by family units. Fortunately, many thatched houses at the back have been temporarily erected, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange.
"Zizai, thank you for finding such a good place, otherwise we wouldn't know how we would survive this winter." Hu Rui saw Ban Zizai coming and put down the wooden box in his hand and said.
"All this was brought about by Sir Alex, let us teach well in the future to repay Sir Alex's great kindness!" Ban Zizai said with emotion when he saw his old friends gathered together now.
"Yes, you know my situation. Every winter is what worries me the most. Now that my wife, children and children are all here, I feel at ease this winter." Hu Rui saw his grandson and granddaughter playing with the wooden horse outside.
Said very happily.
"This is the end of our hardships! Is this Hui'er? She has grown so big in a blink of an eye!" Ban Zizai said with a smile when he saw Hu Hui.
"Yes, Hui'er is here to call someone. This is Grandpa Ban."
"Good morning, Grandpa Ban!" Hu Hui shouted as he saluted.
"Well, you're so good. You already know how to help the family. If you study hard here, you will definitely be an outstanding person in the future!" Ban Zizai praised.
"Zhangjia Village is really like a paradise. The pigs and sheep in those pens all look happy. Head, do you think we can live such a life in the future?" A woman who came back from visiting Zhangjia Village said,
Ask your man.
"Of course, Sir Alex has already said that if you want to breed in the future, you can go to the breeding group to register for adoption, or you can go to work in the factory in the commune. You will know later." The person who spoke was Zhou Yongzhi, one of the two arithmetic teachers in the school.
one.
"Yongzhi took your mother-in-law to visit the beautiful village!" Ban Zizai greeted Zhou Yongzhi when he saw him.
"Yes, I really envy the people in Zhangjiacun!" Zhou Yongzhi said with a smile.
The woman on the side said hello to Ban Zizai. When she heard her man talking about her like this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. However, when there were outsiders around, she still needed to save some face for her man.
"Master Ban, Master Zhou, have you packed everything? Are there any missing daily necessities? I'll have someone bring them to you." Muramasa said when he saw Zhou Yongzhi and Ban Zizai.
"Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work. You still have to run back and forth. We don't need anything here. I just took a look and everyone was very satisfied. Thank you very much." Ban Zizai replied.
"Yes, Brother Zhang is so thoughtful. There is nothing missing here." Zhou Yongzhi also agreed.
"That's good. In a short period of time, the row of houses at the back couldn't be built in time, so we had to force some people to live in thatched huts. The Lord has already asked people to speed up the progress. I think it should be completed in half a month.
Already."
After hearing what Muramasa said, Ban Zizai and Zhou Yongzhi quickly replied: "How can I be wronged? This is already very good. Even that thatched house is better than the one in our hometown."
A few people talked for a while, and then Muramasa left first, saying that the Lord had arranged a dinner for everyone in the evening, and everyone would have a great time together.
As the sun set, the family members from Taiyuan Prefecture were all settled and packed up. Under the leadership of Ban Zizai and Muramasa, they headed to the county uncle's house to attend tonight's banquet.
It was the first time for these foreigners to come here, and they were going to the legendary county uncle's home. They were a little nervous inside. Only the children were running around and making noise around their parents and elders, and they were very happy.
The new home here has wooden horses, toffees and all kinds of novelty things, which makes the children very happy.
"When we get to the county uncle's house, please watch your younger siblings and don't run around. This big family is the most well-behaved. We can't let them act recklessly and offend the nobles." The speaker was Hu Rui's eldest daughter-in-law Wang Hongping, who was explaining her situation.
The eldest son Hu Hui.
"Hong Ping, don't be like this. Your Majesty is the most kind to others. Don't worry." After hearing what his daughter-in-law said later, Hu Rui knew what he was worried about. There were so many people from his own family who came here, and they were all old people.
Being weak, sick and disabled, he could not do anything to help the lord, but on the contrary, there were more freeloaders.
"It's my father." Wang Hongping replied. Although many people from Zhangjia Village praised the Zhang county uncle on the way here, as a person from other villages, Wang Hongping was still a little worried.
"Everyone is here, hurry up and invite us inside. The tent has been set up in the yard, and the tables and chairs have been set up. Let's go in and find our seats." After a while, everyone arrived at Zhang County's uncle's house. Zhang Fu quickly greeted everyone and got off.
People were also busy leading the way and arranging everyone to sit down.
People from Zhangjia Village have been here to eat here several times. Naturally, they are familiar with the road and have found a good seat to sit down and wait for the meal to start.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, the food at our Lord's house is the most delicious. You have to try it later." It was Zhang Sun who spoke, holding a woman's hand.
"Oh! Okay, this place looks very grand. I heard that people in your village eat three meals a day, right?" The woman asked curiously, touching this and looking at that.
"That's not true. Since the Lord opened the factory, the people in our village have enjoyed the blessings. Not to mention three meals a day, there is meat to eat every day. Now the little kids don't like to eat the eggs at home. Alas!
It’s only been less than a year. How could I have thought about this before? It would be great to have a full meal, and I am even more reluctant to eat eggs." Zhang Sun replied.
"Look, that's our Lord, the one next to him is the young lady, and the two behind are Manager Xiao Yu and Manager Su Xin..." Mrs. Zhang Sun saw Zhang San coming out, and took the people and introduced them one by one.
"Aren't they the owner's family? Why are they still carrying the plate?" the woman asked.
"The food cooked by our Lord is the most delicious. It is your first time here. Your Lord must have cooked a few dishes himself. You will know later."
After hearing what Zhang Sun said, the woman was even more confused. The gentleman was far away in the kitchen, so why did he cook in person? He still cooked to entertain people like her.
