Chongxi little husband

Zhang Qi's cry stopped the quarrel between Zhang Ruizhong and his wife immediately. Qi Qi turned his head to look at it. Zhang Qi's face was a bit ugly. Zhang Chunyan, who was following behind him, was also holding a small box in his hand.

The two soon came to the front, and Zhang Qi said anxiously: "Father, Yan'er, the jewelry and some silver that Yan'er mother-in-law just bought for her a few days ago, I forgot to collect them yesterday, and when I woke up just now, I found that they are all gone."

"how come?"

Zhang Liu exclaimed, and scratched her head to look at the box in Zhang Chunyan's hand. Zhang Chunyan quickly opened it for them to see, "It was brought back from the city by my mother, and there was another set for my mother inside. I had time to look at it, I thought of it this morning and wanted to give it to my mother, but when I opened it, I found it was empty."

"This..." Zhang Liushi and Zhang Ruizhong looked at each other, and then saw that there was indeed no headdress on her head.

Although in a village like theirs, it is true that very few people wear jewelry, the most is a hairpin, which is basically made of wood, and a silver hairpin in good condition.Because of the relationship between Zhang Chunyan's parents, the belt she wears is more beautiful, but it is not too out of the ordinary in the village, at most it is more beaded flowers and the like.

But now that they came here with their son, and they just got up, the credibility of what the two said was very high.

"But I didn't see anyone coming in today. The yard was closed when I got up, except for your grandma who got up early... By the way, you can ask her if she found anything suspicious." Zhang Liu recalled anxiously. .

Zhang Ruizhong was relatively calm. He glanced at Mrs. Zhang and Liu, and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic. Both of you think about it carefully. When did these things disappear? Mrs. Liu, go back and take a look." , Is there anything missing in the house, if it is really a thief, we should report it to the police in time."

"Oh yes! I'll go right away." Zhang Liushi suddenly realized when he heard this, and hurriedly went to check and count things without caring about fighting with him.

This sentence also awakened Zhang Qi and Zhang Chunyan. Before the two of them got up and went to make up habitually when they got up, they found out that the things in the jewelry box were missing. At that time, they were anxious Come out to ask, forget to continue to check other.

As a result, this inspection found something.Zhang Ruizhong waited outside for a while, when he suddenly heard Zhang Liushi's screams in his own room, he was startled and rushed into the room, and saw Zhang Liushi standing next to the opened box, startled and angry, his clothes on. A bed was scattered.

"The silver is gone!"

"There is still silver missing!"

At the same time, Zhang Qi and Zhang Chunyan, who rushed in from the outside, also said in unison.

The whole family froze at the same time.

Zhang Ruizhong's face darkened, "It seems that a thief really came to the house."

Zhang Qi frowned and pondered, "Could it be when we went to eat yesterday?"

The other three people were startled at the same time, and they all thought it was possible, but Zhang Liu quickly raised a question: "No, if that person sneaked in while we were away, isn't there someone in our house?"

The other three were taken aback for a moment, and then they all remembered, and then Zhang Liu's face changed drastically: "That's bad!"

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Liushi gritted her teeth and said, "That bitch must have stolen it! It must be her! Otherwise, why haven't I seen her until now?" The more I talked, the more I felt it was true.

Zhang Ruizhong frowned slightly, not quite agreeing: "Don't be so arbitrary all the time? If someone didn't take it, but you just went somewhere and didn't show up, you can conclude that they took it, and you didn't wrong him."

When Zhang Liushi heard this, she became even angrier, "What? You started to feel distressed again? Didn't I feel distressed when I said a word to her? But it is true that something has been lost at home now, and she is gone. Who else is there?"

"You...you are making a lot of nonsense for no reason! This matter should be decided by the government. Do you think you are the head arrester or the county magistrate? This will convict others."

"Hmph! Anyway, she's the only one who doesn't see anyone now."

"you……"

"Early in the morning, it's noisy! What are you noisy? Do you think it's not enough to be a joke or is it not messy enough?"

Just when the couple was about to quarrel again, another person came in from outside, it was old man Zhang.What's more, his low-pitched words had spread to everyone's ears, which caused Zhang Ruizhong and his wife to stop talking immediately.

Zhang Liu gave Zhang Ruizhong a blank look, and hurriedly wanted to tell old man Zhang about the loss, but was stopped by old man Zhang.The old man Zhang looked at his eldest son with his face, and his mood was a bit complicated, but thinking of the peace of the family and the old wife who worked hard for the family, he had to temporarily suppress all the thoughts in his heart and said:

"Boss, and everyone else's, go and pack up and bring everything you can take with you."

Zhang Ruizhong's family was stunned. "Pack what?"

The old man Zhang glanced at them, with guilt on his face, but it was hard to tell because he was exposed to the sun all the year round, his skin color was dark and hard to see, "Step-er has promised to help, you will go to Anling County tomorrow."

"what?"

"An Ling?"

Zhang Ruizhong and Zhang Qi's father and son exclaimed in unison, causing Zhang Liu's family and Zhang Chunyan to ask blankly, but unfortunately the two of them have no time to answer their questions now.

"Grandpa, what do you mean? Dad?" Zhang Qi was surprised.

Zhang Ruizhong didn't care about his son's words anymore, he himself was shocked, and when he realized it, his expression turned ugly, "Father?"

The old man Zhang said in a deep voice, "Boss, don't be unhappy, this is Mr. Su whom your mother and I brazenly begged for. He recommended this job for the sake of his stepson and Qi'er. It's a bit tough, but Dad believes that as long as we have hands and feet, we won't be able to fight for a meal, right?

If you feel too rushed, or wait for a year?Dad will go talk to his stepson and the others again. "

Zhang Chunyan and Zhang Liushi were at a loss from the beginning, but the more they heard it, the paler their faces became, and their eyes were full of disbelief.Although they still don't know where this man named An Ling is, but from their man's expression and old man Zhang's words, they can deduce that it must not be a good place.

"Father, why did we go so far away from Anling?" Zhang Liu asked with trembling lips, "Isn't it good here? I don't know the place over there, what if..."

After Zhang Qi was shocked, after listening to his grandfather's words, he basically understood the context of the incident, but he was even more shocked.

What does grandpa mean... is dad not going to take the exam anymore? ?

Old man Zhang didn't look at anything else, but kept watching his eldest son.Zhang Ruizhong also slowly recovered from the shock, but became silent.

"I……"

***

As night fell, the north wind began to howl, gradually becoming weaker and stronger, and the temperature dropped again and again, and the sky soon became dark. In the village, people all hurried home, and the whole family sat by the firepit to keep warm.

On Zhang Ji's side, some servants gathered in the kitchen downstairs without being called by their masters, warming themselves by the fire and repairing farm tools.

The owner said that a few more acres of land will be opened in the beginning of spring, and there will be a mountain to be opened. I will make more preparations in my spare time, so as not to rush to find it when I get it—this is the one in the kitchen in the front yard. Servant.

Downstairs is Du Juan who brought a few newly bought brothers to sew clothes. By the way, let's pay attention to any skillful hands, and then go to the workshop to do things when they are proficient.

These are all from poor places or people who were trafficked. Du Juan felt sympathetic to them, and at the same time felt lucky for them to meet such a good family as your lord when they came here.

Because her mother and Uncle Fu are from the same township, she has been taken care of by Uncle Uncle Fu to stay in the kitchen with her mother and do things. She is also careful and never goes out indiscriminately. Move cautiously around the kitchen.

Until here.

Just as she was lost in thought, a call came from her ear, "...Sister, Sister Du Juan."

"what?"

A little brother about 10 years old timidly pointed to the small pot on the fire pit and said, "Sister Du Juan, is it time for the young master to drink milk?"

Du Juan was taken aback, then suddenly remembered, and quickly stood up, "Go ahead, do it well, Sister Ming'er will make some delicious food for you."

When the brothers of different ages heard this, their eyes lit up and they smiled, "Thank you, Sister Du Juan."

Upstairs, the windows are only half up, and there are curtains inside, but they are only half drawn.

In the middle of the outside of the house, there is a brazier burning with earthen charcoal.

Zhang Yi and Fang Jin, who had already returned from school, were roasting peanuts and sweet potatoes around the brazier.Zhang Ji sits not far away reading a book, and occasionally grabs a roasted peanut contributed by his two younger brothers, leisurely and contented.

On the other side, Fang Yan was baking diapers while keeping an eye on his son lying in the crib. Next to him was his aunt who was learning embroidery from Fang Ya. Fang Yan occasionally poked his head over to take a look.

The aunt embroidered a few stitches by herself, then went to look at Fang Ya next to her, watching Fang Ya's fingers flying, and after a while half a flower appeared on the cloth, even though she had seen it many times, she still couldn't help it marvel.

"Sure enough, this still depends on the nature!"

Fang Ya smiled shyly at her, "Auntie, you praise me too much."

"How could it be! Do you think there is anyone in these ten miles and eight villages that can match your craftsmanship?" Zhang Xiulian lowered her face, showing disapproval, "With your dexterity, isn't it a daughter-in-law who is vying for it? That is The Chen family is blind, and missed a good girl like you."

Seeing Fang Ya's smile shrinking slightly, she couldn't help but ask a little displeased: "Are you still thinking about the Chen family?"

In a word, Fang Jin looked over in dialect, and even Zhang Ji looked up from the book.Seeing everyone looking over, Fang Ya hurriedly shook her head in denial.

"Nothing. I have nothing to do with that family, Auntie, you..."

Zhang Xiulian smiled again when she heard that, "That's right!" But then she frowned slightly and said, "But you are only 21 now, so you don't plan to look for it again..."

"Auntie." Fang Ya hurriedly called, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

Zhang Xiulian was a little dazed at first, but after seeing Fang Ya's expression, she suddenly remembered that there were other people here, so she glanced quickly.She saw her son looking over blankly, as if he didn't understand what they were talking about, and then fell silent.

"Xiaoya, don't mind, my aunt just said something like this...I said something wrong, but you really should think about it."

"Well, I don't mind, I know you care about me." Fang Ya smiled and paused her embroidery work, "I think it's fine now, but I will take your words seriously."

Zhang Xiulian opened her mouth and wanted to say more, but remembered that the occasion was not right, so she had to hold back, "Well, Auntie can't force you, but if you meet a good one, think about it, don't miss it."

"Ah."

In this way, Zhang Xiulian didn't say any more, and turned to other things.Because of her presence, the room didn't look dull, but Wen An Wen Le was sleeping, and everyone subconsciously lowered their voices.

In fact, the main reason is that they are afraid of waking up their big baby brother. This little guy seems to be a light sleeper, and he can lose his temper at the slightest movement. On the contrary, his younger brother Wen Le, he can sleep well if you want to be struck by lightning or whatever.

At most, she would only frown and raise her eyelids when she was really disturbed.

It caused the dialect to sigh countless times: "I don't know who he followed?"

Zhang Ji also shook his head in puzzlement.

"By the way, are you sure about your uncle?" Zhang Xiulian coaxed her little nephew for a while, then suddenly remembered and asked her nephew who was reading a book over there.

Zhang Ji put down his book, and nodded to everyone who had looked over: "Yes."

"Sister-in-law also agreed?"

"I don't know. Grandpa said he will leave after the Chinese New Year."

The author has something to say: a more
