Chapter 22: An Interlude

When Zhang's mother heard this, she couldn't help but straighten her face and ask him, "How do you know that this is more expensive than that?"

Zhang He looked at the front row again and said, "Mom, let's go back and talk about it?"

"You can't let you have money in the future! You see that I won't tell my grandfather when I go back, this time I have to let my grandfather teach you a lesson!" Zhang Mu glared at Zhang He fiercely, and whispered reproach with displeasure on her face.

"Grandpa won't!" Zhang He replied in a helpless whisper.

So far, until they entered Beijing, got off the long-distance bus, and said goodbye to their uncle and grandfather and three aunts, the mother and son did not say a word. It wasn't until he returned to the gate of his grandmother's house with his grandparents, grandparents, and aunts that Zhang He grabbed his mother and asked, "Mom, is my dad at home today?

"yes, what's wrong?" Zhang Mu replied with a straight face.

"Then I'll go back to our house with you today to stay overnight!" Zhang He said with a hippie smile looking into his mother's eyes while shaking his mother's hand.

"Hmph! no, I have to let my grandfather teach you a lesson today, it's too unusual!" Zhang's mother glanced at her son, and angrily pulled him into the hospital.

"Good mother, don't sue me today! Let's go home now!" Zhang He put on a pleading expression, pulling his mother's arm and pleading.

"No, see if you dare to have such a big idea in the future?"

"What do you care about your mother, Beibei? Tell grandpa, grandpa will buy it for you!" Seeing the mother and son pulling and pulling in the courtyard, he thought that his grandson was grinding his daughter to buy something delicious Grandpa Zhang He came out of the house and said to Zhang He with a smile.

"You're still used to him, why did you ask him what he was doing!" Zhang Mu glared at Zhang He and said.

"What's wrong? What's the trouble?" Grandpa Zhang He asked with a smile as he looked at him.

"It's okay, it's not a problem. I just want to eat my mother's egg noodles with leek flowers!" Zhang He, who naturally couldn't tell the whole story when his grandmother and aunt were there, looked at his mother's eyes with pleading eyes and replied.

"What should I do? I'll let Grandma do it for you later! Come, don't poke it in the yard. Grandpa Zhang He said as he beckoned the mother and son to enter the house.

"Howler! After Zhang He agreed, he shook his head slightly at his mother, squeezed his mother's hand vigorously, and then dragged his mother to the house, while making up some rhetoric and reasons in his heart.

But just as Zhang He and his mother stepped on the steps at the door of the house, a man's voice suddenly came from behind them, asking, "Hello! Excuse me, is this Zhang Liling's house?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Zhang Mu immediately stopped when she heard the voice, turned around and asked.

"Hey, why haven't you seen this person, who is this?" Zhang He on the side looked at this meticulous comb of hair, wearing a blue jacket on his upper body, a pair of straight black trousers on his lower body, and shiny black leather shoes on his feet.

"You're Liling's sister, right? I'm her classmate, and my surname is Guan. The man smiled and glanced at Zhang He beside Zhang's mother and said.

"Liling, looking for you. Grandpa Zhang He, who was standing at the door of the house, shouted into the house.

"You must be uncle, right? Hello uncle!" the man politely greeted Grandpa Zhang He. But Grandpa Zhang He ignored the man's greeting, turned around and entered the house.

"Why are you here?" Aunt Zhang He, who had heard movement in the courtyard for a long time, but had not dared to speak without her father's permission, finally waited for her father's call at this time, so she walked out of the house with a crimson face.

"Of course I'm looking for you!" the man glanced at the room with a slight embarrassment, and said to Aunt Zhang He with a smile.

"Then let's go outside the courtyard and talk about it!" Aunt Zhang He glanced back at the house.

"Okay, sister, let's go out first!" The man said respectfully to Zhang's mother, and followed Aunt Zhang He out of the courtyard gate.

"Is this my aunt's boyfriend? Why don't you ignore others?" Seeing that the man and his aunt were discharged from the hospital, Zhang He couldn't wait to run back to the house and ask his grandfather.

"I guess it is!" Grandpa Zhang He looked in the direction of the courtyard gate and replied with a serious face.

"I guess, haven't you seen it yet?" asked Zhang He with a surprised expression.

"I've never seen it, and I don't know where it came from. Grandpa Zhang He poured a glass of water for himself and Zhang He as he spoke, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the courtyard gate.

"You usually teach me to understand etiquette, why are you like this? Zhang He knelt on the stool opposite his grandfather, propped up the table with his hands, and continued to ask his grandfather like a primary school student asking a question.

"Your grandfather won't let you recruit people from home, when will you be allowed to enter the house after the order?" said Grandma Zhang He while throwing the clothes to be washed into the big basin.

"Is it engagement? Grandpa, are you really funny, you have to become a family to allow people to enter our house? Friends can't do it?" Zhang He asked Grandpa with a smile.

"But no, your father and your uncle, who came to our house before the order? Not to mention entering the house, we won't let our grandfather go to someone's house. When we go out to the park and buy a popsicle, my grandfather doesn't allow us to spend other people's money, so we have to buy our own. Zhang's mother helped her mother pack her luggage while looking at her father and smiled.

"Hey, really, I remember when I was in elementary school, it seemed that my grandfather suddenly turned off the TV just because he recruited classmates into the house to play game consoles together. After eating the popsicle invited by my classmates, my grandfather asked me to bring money back to invite people, blamed me for being gluttonous, and scolded me for being unproductive. When I asked my grandfather why, my grandfather didn't say anything, but every time he just said that he would understand when I grew up. It's a strange thing, and I'm going to have to ask you what the hell is going on today. Recalling this, Zhang He asked his grandfather: "Grandpa, why is this? Are you particularly afraid of owing people family favors? Or are you afraid that people will steal our things?"

"Hehe, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days! When you grow up, you will understand. Grandpa Zhang He replied with a smile.

"No one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days! Hey! It seems that grandpa said it before. Zhang He repeated it in his heart, and then lowered his head and thought about the meaning of these words. Suddenly, he seemed to have solved the puzzle for many years, so he immediately said to his grandfather with some excitement: "Grandpa, I understand, you mean that he is good with you now, not necessarily in the future." Therefore, you should keep a little distance and save yourself from causing trouble when the two of you are not good. In Buddhist parlance, there is no cause and no effect. Grandpa, right?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately slapped his head with his hand, and said with a surprised smile: "Oh! Any of you who has half of my grandson's brain, I won't be in a hurry in my life!"

"Why are you involved with us again, Mom, you have to take care of my dad. Can't keep letting my dad praise Beibei like this, the child should be spoiled. Zhang's mother, who pretended to complain, but was actually happy in her heart, complained to her mother with a smile.

"What do you mean? What blue, what blue. Grandma Zhang He seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Mom, do you want to say that the blue is better than the blue?" asked Zhang's mother.

"Hey, that's what it means, anyway. How can a lifetime be stronger than a lifetime!" Zhang He's grandmother said to Zhang He with a smile.

"Oh, grandpa praised grandma. Shouldn't I sue you? Mother Zhang suddenly glanced at Zhang He with a wicked smile, and then said, "Dad, I haven't told you yet?

As soon as his mother looked up, Zhang He burst out laughing, and immediately stopped: "Mom, Mom, Mom." I'm hungry, so you can help me cook a bowl of noodles first. ”

Without waiting for Zhang's mother to return the favor, Grandpa Zhang He instructed again: "Liyun, let your mother clean up by herself, and cook a bowl of his favorite noodles for my grandson." ”

Mother Zhang saw that her father had given the order, so she didn't say anything, but glared at Zhang He with a smile, and walked out of the room after answering the "okay" with a long voice.

Seeing his mother leave the house, Zhang He followed what he had just said and asked his grandfather: "Grandpa, you just said that no one is good for a thousand days, so tell me, what was my father like back then? I heard that you didn't agree to the marriage between my mother and my father at the beginning, right?"
