After the words fell, there was a sudden silence during the meeting, and for a long time it seemed like a pot had exploded, Zhang Ruixiang and his wife were more eager to persuade each other, Zhang Luoshi also looked hesitant, seeing that the old man was hesitant to speak.

"Okay." Old man Zhang suddenly opened his mouth, and the others fell silent.Old man Zhang looked at this and then that, and finally looked at Zhang Jidao: "Grandpa knows about this, let grandpa think about it, you all go back and rest first."

Seeing his father's serious face, Zhang Ruixiang obediently got up and left without saying anything else. Zhang Xiulian had to hug her son and follow after seeing him; She wanted to say something, but her son Zhang Qi secretly pulled her sleeves, so she got up and left reluctantly.

When she got home, she couldn't help but asked angrily, "Qi'er, why did you stop me just now? What if your grandpa also agreed?"

"Mother, don't worry, didn't grandpa just say that you need to think about it, don't worry." Zhang Qi looked calm, and comforted her with a smile. I’m going to the city to attend a literature meeting organized by the Master Juren, help me prepare some things.”

"Ah? That needs a lot of silver, right?"

"Well. I might go to the provincial capital then, and maybe I can pick up my father and come back with me, so I need to prepare more money, why don't you give me a hundred first."

"so much?!"

"Mother, that's not enough. I'm going to the place where Juren is held this time, so I can't go there empty-handed, right? Didn't shopkeeper Yang just return with the money last month, so there must be something left?"

"This……"

……

Here, Zhang Ruixiang and his wife also returned to the room. Zhang Xiulian looked anxious and asked worriedly: "Daddy Xiaobao, what do you think daddy thinks?"

Zhang Ruixiang also looked full of worries, but he didn't think about anything too complicated, "I don't know, no matter how father decides, I don't want to disappoint my step-child. My sister is his only son."

"But how can we help? We don't have that much money in our hands."

"There is always... there is always a way."

……

"Why didn't you let me say it myself just now?" Just after entering the door, Fang Yan asked aloud after thinking about it, "I made all of these in the first place, don't you worry that I won't be able to do anything in the end?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ji and Xiao Jin, who were walking in front, stopped at the same time and turned around to look over. After a while, Zhang Ji patted Xiao Jin on the shoulder and said to him, "Xiao Jin, go in and get your books and practice reading the words I taught you this morning." Is it? Step-brother and your brother have a conversation."

"Good~"

Xiao Jin readily agreed, and when he trotted into the house, Zhang Ji signaled to go to the corner of the yard to talk.

A shelf was built for them in the east corner, a table was placed under it, and two reclining chairs were placed on both sides. These were gifts from carpenter Zhang. Since he got inspiration from Uncle Zhang, such chairs have become popular in the town. , Several big families came to him to make orders, but the income was not small.

The shelves are still empty, and Dialect is planning to find some vines to plant in the next spring, and it will also be a place to enjoy the shade in summer.

Fang Yan followed and poured a glass of water for the two of them, sat on another deck chair, looked at Zhang Ji, took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk."

Zhang Ji took a leisurely sip of water, and couldn't help laughing when he saw him sitting so upright, and put away his laziness after a while, and fixed his black eyes on the dialect.

"I think we both understand that each other has a little secret. I don't need to ask why you choose to come to my house, but since you are officially welcomed by my house, I will treat you as my family, so at some point I will be unconditional. trust you, but—"

Fang Yan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect him to say such words as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help clenching the cup in his hand a little nervously.

Sure enough, the strange feeling at the beginning was not due to his overthinking, but this person was just pretending.Thinking of this dialect, he greeted the other party and asked, "But?"

Zhang Ji nodded slightly, "Well, this is my sincerity to you, but if you have other thoughts to hurt my grandpa and the others, then I will not let you and Xiaojin go, so you'd better think clearly and provoke me Are you able to bear what will happen afterwards?"

"..."

Facing Zhang Jin's careless eyes that pierced into his heart, Fang Yan was startled for a moment, and subconsciously looked away.

Soon he came back to his senses, realizing that his act of showing weakness could not help but feel a little annoyed.

It was supposed to be him who questioned the other party, so why was he led away by him!

Turning back quickly, staring at the other party sullenly, said in the same tone: "Since that's the case, I won't say much, how about we cooperate first?

Although what I do now is not 100% guaranteed to be successful, I decided not to do anything that would hurt your grandfather and the others. I would like to thank you for your trust in this regard. Similarly, if you need my help in the future, I will Help too.

Don't worry, I just do this to make myself, my sister and my brother live a good life. Now these are your investments, and I will definitely pay you back when the time comes. "

Zhang Ji stared at the dialect, and saw that his small face was full of determination, and the pair of eyes that were abnormally large because of the lack of flesh on his face when he first met him seemed to be inexplicably attractive at the moment.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled slowly, raised his hand across the table and pinched his face lightly, and said, "Well, I've grown some flesh." After speaking, he showed a proud look.

"..."

Fang Yan opened his eyes slightly, and subconsciously touched the pinched place, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Are they talking about serious topics?isn't it?yes?

How can the style of painting suddenly...

Was his original choice right or wrong?Dialect suddenly felt a little regretful at this moment.

***

In the main room, after the children had finished leaving, Zhang Luoshi couldn't hold back after waiting, and said hesitantly: "Old man, you..."

Old man Zhang sat silently in his seat.

Zhang Luoshi looked at him for a while, then turned back to the room without a word, and came out again shortly after, but with an extra small jar in his hand, he poured half a bowl for him with a sigh.

"Drink some, this is the last jar that Ling girl and son-in-law bought for you, and it will be gone after drinking."

Old man Zhang raised his head in a daze when he heard the words, then lowered his head to look at the bowl in front of him, and finally reached out to take it tremblingly, but couldn't lift it up after holding it for a long time.

"Old woman."

"Ok?"

Hearing his wife's hoarse voice, Zhang Luoshi also felt that his throat was congested and his eyes were hot.

Old man Zhang suddenly rubbed his face with his hands, as if he had calmed down his emotions, but his voice was still a little hoarse when he spoke: "If this family breaks up, you won't blame me for making my own decisions, will you?"

Zhang Luoshi was startled, and suddenly showed a reassuring smile, stepped forward to help pick up the bowl and put it in his hand, with a relaxed tone: "Have you made up your mind?"

"Ah."

"Then why do you have any hesitation? Anyway, our family is able to live today because of my uncle's earning, so that my stepson can continue to live the life he wants, and when we go underground, we will be able to live up to my uncle and my husband." Girl."

"It's just that boss..."

Zhang Luoshi turned around to clean up the dining table, his tone didn't fluctuate at all, "Boss, what is there to worry about? Aren't we two still able to work? They won't starve to death."

The old man Zhang looked at his old wife in a daze, and murmured for a while: "It's good if you can think so, I'm just worried that you will...cough, then I'll just tell them that tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Zhang Luoshi calmly withdrew his stare and turned back to continue tidying up.

Old man Zhang carefully picked up the bowl and took a small sip. The long-lost taste of wine made him almost want to hum.

***

The next day, old man Zhang did not announce his decision early in the morning as he said yesterday, but went to the ground with a hoe after the meal, making the others puzzled and thinking secretly.

Until dinner, they still brought up related topics, and only kept Zhang Jihe's dialect out after the meal.

The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time in the room. When it was dark, Zhang Ji dialect came out and went back to the next door. The expressions on their faces were as usual. What kind of medicine is sold in Mr. Qing's gourd.

After another two days like this, Zhang Qi wanted to ask Zhang Ji because he couldn't figure out what his grandpa was thinking, but found that the two were busy all day and were not at home, which made him upset and read books. I couldn't go on anymore, so I just went out for a walk in the end to relax.

"Brother Zhang Qi?"

Zhang Qi was wandering boredly on the road in the village when suddenly a soft and hesitant voice came from behind him, the voice was sweet and pleasant, which made people feel comfortable and lovely.

Zhang Qi was slightly stunned, and suddenly turned around, a little surprise appeared in his eyes, "Who are you?"

The graceful girl in a pink dress saw him turn around, her eyes brightened slightly, and she said with a sweet smile: "It's really you, I thought I had misidentified you~ Brother Zhang Qi, I'm Chunyan, don't you remember me?"

When Zhang Qi heard this, he couldn't help but look through his eyes to identify it carefully, and a gentle smile appeared on his face immediately, and he said in surprise: "Oh~~ It's you! It's really a girl's [-]th change, I haven't seen you in two years , Thinking of Sister Yan's birth and ending so beautifully, no wonder I didn't recognize her with poor eyesight."

Zhang Chunyan couldn't help but feel shy after being hugged by him like this, but she was also overjoyed. Her pink cheeks were even more dyed with a thin layer of red, and her beautiful eyes were slightly drooping, which made her look even more beautiful. Zhang Qi couldn't help but stare , Heart ripples.

Being stared at by him in such a daze, Zhang Chunyan became even more shy, she hurriedly turned slightly to avoid his sight, bit her lower lip lightly, and said softly, restraining her embarrassment, "Zhang, Zhang Qi, why do you look at me like this? "

"Ah -- I'm sorry, I couldn't help it..." Zhang Qi suddenly recovered, smiled, and raised his hands slightly, "It's abrupt. I don't know when Sister Chunyan will come back? Brother Xia Luo came back together?"

"Well, big brother is back too. I came back with big brother this time. I just arrived yesterday and I haven't had time to visit your house. I didn't expect to meet you here. I wonder if uncle and aunt are okay?"

"It's all good. So where are you going to go? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"Aren't you going to delay Brother Zhang Qi's studies?"

"It's okay, I just came out to take a walk to rest, this time doesn't waste anything, let's go."

"Yeah, okay~ thank you. By the way, I just heard about that, that..."

"Sister Chunyan can ask anything you want to ask directly, and I will let you know when I know."

Zhang Chunyan finally asked hesitantly: "I heard that your brother Zhang Jita recovered from his illness?"

When Zhang Qi heard that his smile didn't change, he nodded slightly: "Well, yes, he's almost recovered, you can go to my house to see, he's fine now... Oh, coincidence, look, isn't it here?"

Zhang Chunyan was startled when she heard this, and followed his directions, and saw two teenagers walking on another road in front of them. From a distance, they couldn't see the expressions on each other's faces clearly, but they were talking and laughing. Can be vaguely seen.

"The one next to him is his new husband. The two of them are doing well. Every time they go out, they are always in pairs."

Zhang Qi's gentle and smiling words came from his ears in a daze, and looking at the two people who had a really harmonious atmosphere over there, Zhang Chunyan somehow felt that it was a bit dazzling.
