after a strong rival

"Okay, quick question and quick answer!" Wen Mu returned the marriage certificate to Zhang Lu, deliberately saying something.

He smiled and moved two chairs for the two to sit down respectively.Zhang Lu watched Zhang Zhuo's expression carefully, and waited for Zhang Zhuo to sit down before sitting down tremblingly.

"Look at my gestures and answer at the same time. Telling lies is not enough brother, and not speaking is a guilty conscience and acquiescing to the other party's answer. Okay, let's start!"

"One, how did you start this relationship?"

"I saw a gay couple doing that on a small street during the New Year's Eve," Zhang Zhuo said.

"I got him drunk and didn't follow his wishes..." Zhang Lu said.

Zhang Zhuo suddenly turned his head and asked, "So you didn't like me before forcing me!"

"What Wen Mu said was 'beginning' this relationship?" Zhang Lu hurriedly explained.

"Then I'll change the answer, we haven't started yet."

Zhang Lu: "..."

"Second, when did you start liking each other?"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "I don't know, maybe a long time ago, it was only when I went abroad that I realized what my feelings for Zhang Zhuo are."

Zhang Zhuo didn't answer for a long time, Wen Mu asked again, and he said: "I don't know."

I don't know, it's not that I don't like it.Wen Mu blinked at Zhang Lu, who tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up.

As long as you like him, you can say anything.

"Three, have you informed your parents about your marriage?" Seeing that the two of them had changed into solemn faces when they heard the question, and they didn't intend to answer, he knew what was going on.

"I hope they won't be too angry." Zhang Lu is an only son, and how angry and sad his parents should be when he brings a man home.It's fine to bring other men, but Zhang Zhuo is the one who brought back. It's so embarrassing that the relatives are getting married.

But no matter what, going home to see the elders is a problem that must be faced.Before he and Cheng Yi made their relationship public, they were also afraid of being opposed.

The room fell silent, Zhang Zhuo changed the topic: "The child you pushed today is your second child, right? I heard from my mother that she is very cute."

"Well, his name is Wen Zhuo. He looks quite pleasing to the elders. He looks chubby and tall, but he is actually less than one year old." Speaking of Wen Zhuo, Wen Mu was full of pride.

Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Lu didn't know the origin of the little thing. They thought the child was brought from somewhere else. The relatives and friends in the neighborhood actually thought so, even Yang Juanmei didn't believe it was their own.

It was late at night, and Wen Mu arranged for the two of them to live in the guest room.The newly renovated house in Lvyuan has large guest rooms, clean and tidy, and elegant layout. The two of them visited it briefly and were amazed.

"I remember there were several snakes in Wen Mu's house, because Wen Mu was too lazy to pick them out, oh, yes, there were also mice." Zhang Lu was packing his luggage while teasing Wen Mu, "I'll buy him sticky mice Cloth, he doesn’t want it, because he knows he’s lazy, and he’s afraid he won’t be bothered to throw the mouse cloth out after he’s stuck with a mouse.”

It's been a long time since I heard that Zhang Lu's mouth is cheap, and Wen Mu was amused: "Stop making up stories!"

"Go to sleep." Zhang Zhuo sent Wen Mu away and took a shower first. When he came back, Zhang Lu had already made the bed and ordered him a cup of warm milk.

He suffers from insomnia and likes to drink a glass of milk before going to bed.If it was Zhang Lu in the past, he would definitely laugh at him as a rough old man who drank milk and pretended to be so pretentious, but now Zhang Lu actually took the initiative to pour good milk for him every day.

The world is impermanent. I didn't expect that he would pester Zhang Lu to introduce his girlfriend to him before, but now they have such a relationship.

Going to bed and lying down, he found that Zhang Lu was going out, so he sat up and asked Zhang Lu where he was going.

"I want to go out for a walk. Didn't Wen Mu say that the greenhouse in the Green Garden has been expanded a lot. I want to see if there is any fruit to eat. I'm hungry." Zhang Lu smiled and wanted to go out, Zhang Zhuo jumped out of bed, put on Put on the quilt and go with him.

Zhang Lu was extremely angry: "You should wear some clothes anyway." At least put on underwear!

Zhang Zhuo covered himself tightly with a quilt, only his eyes and nose were exposed, and he led the way to the greenhouse.

When they passed by Wenxiu's room, they heard movement inside, looked at each other, and eavesdropped on the door.

They love and hate Wenxiu who is a few years older than them!Wenxiu has a smart head and is good at studying. Many girls chase after him. When they were young, they often shared with Wenmu the cakes, chocolates and other snacks that girls gave Wenxiu. They also read the love letters written by girls to Wenxiu together, and then fantasized together. When they went to junior high school, they could take girls for a ride by bike.

"Gold is a precious metal. It was used as currency a long time ago. Oh, by the way, son, you don't know what currency is. Currency is a trading tool. In the past, shells and copper were used as currency, and later it was used Gold and silver, and later paper money..."

"Son, learn these first today. We'll talk about exchange rates tomorrow."

Zhang Zhuo stood up expressionlessly, and continued to walk forward under the quilt.Zhang Lu caught up with a suppressed smile, and couldn't help complaining about Wenxiu: "His son looks like he's only one year old. Since I'm talking about this, please, I don't understand it!"

"That's because you are stupid, we all learned it in high school!" Zhang Zhuo was in a bad mood, "No matter how weird Wenxiu is, he still has a son who can teach him."

Zhang Lu was slightly annoyed: "Don't you just want a child, why can't we adopt one? Wen Xiu and Xiao Zheng are a couple, and that child is also adopted! Wen Mu and Cheng Yi are also the same, why can't we if they can! "

"I can't!" Zhang Zhuo stopped, turned around and looked at Zhang Lu firmly, and said word by word, "I don't have to have a child, and I won't adopt one. I only believe in blood relationship."

If he wasn't adopted by the Zhang family, he would definitely be favored like Zhang Xin.He will not let his child suffer what he has encountered again. He has no confidence that he will love a strange child for so many years, nor does he have the confidence that Zhang Lu can do it.

Like his mother Han Jiao, there are not many in the world who love the adopted children as if they were their own.He doesn't hate anyone, but he has become paranoid about blood relationship. He wants to have a relative who is related to him by blood.

But no matter how hard he tried to search, he still found nothing. He was still alone without a relative.

"Let's go to that hospital. I'll go home and get some money." Although their family lost their company, they still had some savings, which should be enough for him and Zhang Zhuo to go to that comrade's hospital.

"Don't." Zhang Zhuo said, "If you're like this, they won't accept me."

"Then I'll save more." Zhang Lu said suddenly, "Let's go quietly to sell Wen Mu's vegetables. I heard that his vegetables were smuggled out of Liancheng and sold at a high price. He doesn't know yet."

Zhang Zhuo was surprised, Zhang Lu said in a low voice: "My mother told me. In fact, Uncle Wen also knew about it, but he kept it from Wen Mu. Probably Wen Xiu did it."

"Yes, Wenxiu is a businessman."

"I did it."

The two turned around together, and saw Cheng Yi leading a child coming out of the corner only two meters away from them.They both made a "silence" gesture, but it was still too late.

Wenxiu opened the door and came out with displeasure on his face: "What are you wandering around without sleeping in the middle of the night! Go back!"

"Alright." Zhang Zhuo compromised first.After that incident, although his character was quite sharp and tough, he would still show his honest character to the brothers of the Wen family.

Zhang Lu pursed his lips in disapproval, Cheng Yi gave the little guy a wink, and the little guy immediately threw himself into Wenxiu's arms, leaving Wenxiu with no time to care about others.Maybe Wenxiu once regarded the little guy as his own child. Even though he has his own child now, his intimacy with the little guy has not diminished, not just like an uncle treats a nephew.

When Wenxiu returned to his room, the three of them went to the greenhouse together.This year, Wen Mu rented out all the idle cultivated land at the foot of the mountain, reduced the amount of food planted, and replanted vegetables and fruits. The total area of ​​the greenhouse has reached [-] to [-] mu.

Several greenhouses are connected, full of vitality everywhere, and you can't see the end at a glance.After walking inside for a long time, you will forget that the outside is still icy and snowy.

Zhang Zhuo was wearing a quilt, although it was warm outside, but after coming in for more than 5 minutes, he had to wear the quilt as a tube top dress.Cheng Yi suggested that he throw away the quilt. He was very embarrassed and couldn't explain that he came out to visit other people's gardens in the middle of the night without wearing anything.

"Are you going to steal Wen Mu's food?" This was the first sentence Cheng Yi heard.

Zhang Zhuo hurriedly said no.It's also strange, he didn't speak loudly to Zhang Lu, and Wenxiu was separated by a door, so Wenxiu couldn't hear him, but Cheng Yi, who was two meters away, heard him.

"What's the problem?"

"No." Zhang Zhuo said.

Cheng Yi stopped asking. He had given Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Lu a chance. If they were short of money, he could borrow it.The two of them didn't want him to help, so he wouldn't rush to help others.

"The little box has grown a lot taller." Zhang Lu grabbed a cucumber and bit it into a crunchy bite. "It doesn't look quite the same as before."

Cheng Yi said "oh", and took the lead to walk ahead.

"I also think it's different. I used to be white and fat, and my facial features are still the same, but I just feel different." As for why it's different, he can't say.

"You can't go there." Seeing that Zhang Lu wanted to push open the iron gate, Cheng Yi uttered a voice to stop him.

Zhang Lu looked at the three-to-four-meter-long iron gate, widened his eyes and pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that there is a treasure hidden here, and a big iron gate is erected in the greenhouse?"

"Oh, I see." Zhang Lu patted the door and smiled. "There must be precious vegetables here, so let's steal the vegetables and sell them, and make sure to make money." Now vegetables are sold more expensive than meat, and they steal vegetables to sell without having to spend money, so they will naturally earn more.

"I see you bought a return ticket." Cheng Yi is not worried about Wen Mu's food being stolen, Wen Mu doesn't care much about the green garden, but with him around, no one can take advantage of Wen Mu, and don't even try to snatch it. his business.

"We plan to settle abroad." Zhang Zhuo said.

They dare not come back, nor do they want to come back.Although Zhang Zhuo's family has moved away, many memories remain.They have also gradually adapted to life abroad, and the hardships and irritability when they first went there have also become smooth and peaceful.It is not easy for the two of them to work hard abroad, and they really don't want to give up.

Moreover, the atmosphere abroad is much more open, at least better than Liancheng.

"It's too late, let's go back to sleep." Cheng Yi had to find the little guy early, otherwise the little guy would definitely sleep with Wen Hong in his arms, and if it didn't matter if he fell asleep, Wen Hong would be hurt again.

The three of them were about to go back when they heard a scream coming from the iron gate, it turned out to be Wen Mu's voice.Cheng Yi didn't care about other things, pushed open the iron door and ran in.

Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Lu followed closely behind, but as soon as they entered the iron gate, they were stunned.
