Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

A pair of bright eyes sparkled with curiosity: "Brother, why don't you want to accept Uncle Zhou Xiucai's books? He has so many books that the whole room is filled with them. It's more spectacular than any bookstore we've been to!"

Zhang Sanwa pursed his dry lips, and said with a bit of self-mockery: "Actually, there is no special reason. Now I am just an ordinary farm boy. No matter how well I study, it is not as practical as planting two acres of land. At least I can have a few more bowls of rice for my family."

The little girl's clear big eyes flashed, as if she could see through the subtle loss in her brother's heart.

Her little hands unconsciously raised up and she stroked Zhang Sanwa's head, imitating the way her father and mother usually comforted people.

Just as the family was approaching the familiar and warm door of their home, they heard the aunt's urgent and slightly joyful call from a distance: "Second son, come home quickly, we have guests visiting today!"

This sudden news made Zhang Laoer pause. Without thinking too much, he naturally took Xiao Youniang from his youngest son's arms and quickly ran towards home.

The three of them almost trotted back home. Before they even stepped into the yard, waves of laughter and joy penetrated the air, welcoming their return in advance.

Old Mrs. Zhang's hearty and familiar laughter sounded particularly loud.

When I pushed the door open, I saw a young man with an unfamiliar face but a big smile sitting in the middle of the courtyard. He was chatting animatedly with the elders of the Zhang family.

The table was piled with all kinds of gifts.

Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Fu, who seldom go out on weekdays because they need to rest, are in high spirits at this moment, chatting and laughing with the guests.

Even the usually busy Dafang family was attracted and sat together.

Zhang Dawa held a piece of exquisite pastry in his hand, enjoying the delicious taste with a happy look on his face.

However, the moment Zhang Laoer led his two children into the yard, the originally lively scene seemed to be paused.

The faces of the Zhang family, which were originally filled with smiles, suddenly became serious, and their eyes towards Zhang Laoer were mixed with vigilance.

Only the young man who looked honest and kind immediately had a dazzling light in his eyes when he saw Zhang Laoer.

He stood up impatiently and shouted excitedly: "Benefactor, I finally found you! It really is you, benefactor!"

Zhang Laoer narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of careful recollection, he suddenly said, "So it's you, the young man I met at the market that day, right?"

"Yes, that's me! Thanks to you for your help!"

A bright smile broke out on Hu Bin's face and he continued to describe what happened that day.

"I remember when my father suddenly fell ill, you were the only one who stood up to help us without hesitation. I was so flustered that I almost misunderstood your kindness. I feel so ashamed now when I think about it. If it weren't for your righteous rescue, I might be keeping vigil for my father in grief now."

When he was moved, Hu Bin couldn't help but kneel down in front of Zhang Laoer to express his deep gratitude.

"I have no way to repay you for saving my life, and I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you again today!"

Zhang Laoer was frightened by this sudden action and quickly reached out to support him.

"Oh, you are so polite. I just did it casually. It's nothing to mention."

Hu Bin shook his head and smiled, his eyes firm: "Although you said it was a small matter, in such an emergency, you were the only one who could stand up regardless of everything. If I hadn't asked around, I'm afraid I would never be able to express my gratitude to you in person in this lifetime."

He paused, his expression more sincere: "I will never forget your kindness to Hu Bin. From now on, if you need anything, even if it means going through fire and water, Hu Bin will definitely go to you without hesitation and will go through fire and water to repay your great kindness!"

These words, which came from the heart, moved Zhang Laoer.

He said a few perfunctory words, then turned and walked slowly towards Old Lady Zhang who was sitting quietly at the dining table: "Dad, Mom, you two have not been feeling well recently. You usually stay in bed to rest. Why are you willing to get out of bed and walk around today?"

Hearing this, Old Lady Zhang smiled a slightly stiff smile: "Oh, I heard that Xiao Hu is coming to visit you. There is no one in charge at home for a while, so we thought someone would have to come forward to deal with it."

Although there was a hint of helplessness in his words, he could not hide his covetousness for the pile of gifts in his eyes.

Hu Bin behaved generously and presented a carefully selected gift to express his gratitude as soon as he entered the door.

Old Mrs. Zhang originally planned to quickly send away this "uninvited guest" while the other children in the family were not home yet, so that she could keep this generous gift for herself. However, the return of Zhang Laoer shattered her wish.

"I see. Now that I'm back, you two elders should go back and rest early. Don't let this occasional fatigue drag down your body."

Zhang Laoer's tone was firm, and he had obviously seen through his family's covetous eyes towards the pile of gifts.

In his mind, personal gains and losses are insignificant. What is important is not to let the Zhang family take advantage of the opportunity to profit.

Zhang Laoer's ruthless behavior made the Zhang family members sitting around him look different and secretly dissatisfied.

Although they were afraid of Xu Liyun, Zhang Laoer's tough attitude made it even more difficult to deal with them.

In the end, even though everyone was unwilling, they could only return to their rooms in disappointment.

Zhang Dawa wanted to take the opportunity to make a scene, but because of his father's stern look and warning pat on the head, he had to restrain his temper. He pouted, grabbed a few handfuls of snacks and stuffed them into his pocket, and left with his parents in a huff.

Hu Bin, who looks naive and cute, is actually a very thoughtful person.

Born into a merchant family, how could he not be observant of people's words and expressions?

He had already keenly captured the subtle atmosphere among this family.

His good impression of the Zhang family was because Zhang Laoer was his benefactor. Since his benefactor was at odds with the family, he naturally had no reason to leave Zhang Laoer behind to curry favor with others.

After Mrs. Zhang and her group returned to the room, Mr. Zhang hugged his little daughter and sat down on the chair. He asked gently, "Are these the gifts you brought specially?"

Hu Bin smiled innocently and nodded: "Yes, it's all to thank you, my benefactor."

After saying this, Zhang Laoer nodded calmly, accepting the friendship, and announced: "I will accept these gifts, and the past grudges will be written off today."

As he spoke, he picked out a package of mung bean cakes with an enticing sweet aroma from the pile of gifts and handed it to the little girl in his arms who was looking at him curiously.

The little girl smelled the sweetness, pinched the pastry with her little hands, and thought about sharing the sweetness with her father and brother.

Zhang Sanwa was not interested in sweets and politely shook his head to refuse.

Zhang Laoer took a small piece and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.
