Chapter 276: Secretly surprised
Taking the recipe, Zhao Mengdie said, "You don't ask me, why do you want a recipe for grandpa?" Zhang Chen asked along with her words.
"Today and the Liu family completely tore their faces, I was afraid that my grandfather would blame him, so I used a recipe to please him, hoping that he could forgive me. ”
"I didn't expect the brutal Dream Butterfly to be so kind. Zhang Chen smiled and patted her head: "That Liu Wenlong is really not worthy of you, I think your grandfather should forgive you when he sees your filial piety." ”
"Hmm. Zhao Mengdie nodded: "Brother Brick, then I'll go." ”
"Let's go, stay safe on the road. Zhang Chen smiled and watched this Zhao Mengdie get into the car, and then turned around.
found that Zhang Xinyu had already come behind him: "Are you reluctant to give up this girl?"
"It's a little ......" Zhang Chen laughed dryly: "But I know it's impossible for us, so I rejected her today." ”
"What is possible, what is impossible? It's just a matter of justifying one's own cowardice. Zhang Xinyu listened to Zhang Chen's words, with a little sadness in her eyes, and suddenly said this.
"It seems that sister, there is also a bitter love. ”
"Is it hard?" Zhang Xinyu muttered, and finally laughed dryly: "I'm afraid I'm just unwilling." "The capital, the Qingshan Courtyard, this place where ordinary people have never even heard of it.
An old man of medium stature, dressed in a gardener's clothes, was tinkering with the flowers and plants in front of the house.
If someone sees this person's face, they will definitely recognize it, isn't this a certain big guy who often appeared on TV back then?
After pruning all the flowers that should be made, I took the towel handed over by the guard, wiped my sweat, and then walked to the gazebo and sat down, and began to make tea myself.
With all this in order, he asked the guards beside him, "When will my grandchildren arrive?"
"The eldest lady just called and said that she would be there in twenty minutes. The guard said very respectfully.
"Twenty minutes, fine. The old man muttered and waved the guard back.
His thoughts went back to twenty years ago, if it weren't for his stubbornness and his opinions, he would not be a stranger to his hard-working son, let alone so many years, he wouldn't even see his grandson.
The only information can only be known through intelligence and photographs.
Especially seeing the changes in his grandson in the past few months, he is a little relieved, but he is more worried, worried that his grandson will be used by others, worried that he will be sharp and harmed.
So after getting Zhang Chen to come to the capital this time, he finally decided to see his grandson, talk about it well, resolve the contradictions of the year, and meet the stubborn son before he died.
The car walked on the road leading to the Qingshan Courtyard, looking at the surrounding scenery and the direction of this mountain, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a good place, the feng shui is excellent, and it has dragon energy, and the people who live here can't even think of flying Huang Tengda." ”
"I didn't expect you to be quite superstitious at a young age, but I can warn you, don't say this in front of grandpa, he hates this kind of superstitious thing the most. Zhang Xinyu kindly reminded.
"Actually, I'm not talking about superstition, but a kind of ......" Zhang Chen wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhang Xinyu: "I don't understand this, and I'm afraid grandpa doesn't understand either, anyway, don't talk about this kind of thing, otherwise the first time we meet, we will break up unhappily, which is really bad." ”
"Sister, are you sure I'm really your Zhang family's species?" Zhang Chen was still a little uneasy, this is incredible, his parents and parents, they are all rural people who do their duty, with such a big background, they are always bullied for Mao, and they don't resist?
"Giggles, brother, you are so cute, no wonder Liu Qing and Zhao Mengdie are fascinated by you. Zhang Xinyu laughed and teased.
"I was shot to death, you see a sentry box full of armed policemen with loaded guns, if you find out that I am a fake, in this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store, and kill me, then there will really be no corpse. Don't look at what Zhang Chen said, in fact, he is still full of curiosity about the Zhang family, what is the identity of his grandfather who has never met?
"Over the years, grandpa has been secretly taking care of your family, so you can rest assured that you can't go wrong. Just as the two were talking, the car had already driven to the sentry box, Zhang Xinyu took out the documents he was carrying, and the soldiers guarding them checked it before letting him go.
After entering, I walked a section of green mountain path, and then I arrived at the small courtyard where the old man lived.
Just after they got out of the car, a person came out of the small courtyard who was full of energy, but old tears. looks much older than my father, but a very similar old man,
That kind of blood connection, the emotions generated instantly surged into his heart, and his eyes were red.
He originally thought that he would be more repulsive and stranger, but when he really hugged the old man, he found that it was not so difficult to shout those two words.
"Grandpa, it's all grandchildren who are not filial, so I came to see you. ”
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you, I blame everything, I blame me. The old man said this vigorously, but it made Zhang Chen's heart even more sad, and the guards around him, as well as Zhang Xinyu, couldn't help but start wiping tears when they saw this scene.
"Grandpa, the past is over, don't mention it, wait for August 15, I will definitely bring my parents to see you, and then our family will have a good reunion." On the way, Zhang Xinyu also told Zhang Chen some past events, Zhang Chen was still a little unhappy at the beginning, what happened to his mother's bad background?
But when I heard the old man say vigorously, he was to blame, and the unhappiness completely dissipated.
"Good...... Good...... August 15 reunion. The old man seemed very excited when he spoke, his heart suddenly accelerated, and his breathing became rapid.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xinyu was frightened, and hurriedly called the guards to find a special nurse to serve the old man.
Zhang Chen was also startled, and hurriedly let go of the grandfather he was holding.
"Acute asthma?" Zhang Chen could see what was wrong with the symptoms at once, so he didn't wait for the nursing to come over, and quickly took emergency measures, clicked a few times on the old man's chest, and injected a small amount of true qi to protect his heart.
After about ten seconds, the old man's breathing gradually calmed down, and finally returned to normal, and his eyes opened.
"Grandpa, it's great that you're awake, you just scared Xinyu to death. Zhang Xinyu looked at the grandfather who woke up, and said excitedly while wiping his tears.
"It's really old, it's useless, and when I get excited, I will commit this ** disease. Zhang Lao coughed dryly, then let go of Zhang Chen's hand holding him, and said to the nurse who came in a hurry: "Okay, what should you all do, it's okay to have my grandchildren and granddaughters here." ”
"But the chief ......" the nurse hesitated, but the old man laughed and said: "My old guy knows his body, even if he really leaves, I won't blame you, now I just want to talk to my grandson more." ”
"Yes, Chief. Only then did the guards and nurses leave with worried eyes.
From this subtle look, it can be seen that these guards and nurses really care about Zhang Lao from the bottom of their hearts.
Entering the Qingshan Courtyard, Zhang Lao did not take Zhang Chen to the house, but took him to the pavilion in the garden, and when he passed by the garden, he was also interested in introducing his experience in pruning flowers and plants.
This kind of open-minded attitude to life made Zhang Chen secretly surprised, you must know that few people who once held power can really give up the pursuit of power after retiring.
And now the state of grandpa is really a comprehensive retreat, which is particularly rare.
Entering the pavilion and sitting on the stone bench, Zhang Lao picked up the teapot from the gap and poured a cup for Zhang Chen: "Taste, how is the big red robe of grandpa?" ”
Zhang Chen took it with both hands and gently picked it up, and a refreshing, faint aroma penetrated into his nostrils, which made people feel shocked.
Taking a sip gently, the entrance was sweet and smooth, surrounded by the aftertaste, Zhang Chen couldn't help but admire: "Top-grade, it's the first time I've drunk such a delicious taste." ”
"In the future, if you live with your grandfather, don't go back, you can drink every day. Zhang Lao looked at Zhang Chen with some doting eyes.
When he came into contact with his grandfather's eyes, Zhang Chen couldn't bear to refuse, but thinking of his own mess, he hesitated and refused: "Grandpa, when the things on my side are on track in the future, I will accompany you every day." ”
"I'm afraid my old man won't be able to wait for that time. Zhang Lao sighed: "My illness has become more and more serious in the past few months, although they didn't tell me the real situation, but I know that my limit is approaching." ”
"Grandpa, I see that you are doing well, when I first treated you, I also made a slight diagnosis, as long as you use acupuncture and medicine to recuperate your lost vitality, you can live at least ten more years. ”
"Really?" Zhang Lao didn't speak, but Zhang Xinyu on the side hurriedly asked.
"Of course it's true, I don't dare to say to others, if I treat it myself, my grandfather will definitely be able to increase his life span by at least ten years. Zhang Chen patted his chest and promised.
"That's great, Grandpa. Zhang Xinyu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Lao with his eyes: "Xinyu, grandpa suddenly wants to play Go, you go to my house, bring the chessboard, and I will have two games with your brother in a while." ”
Zhang Xinyu saw how much she had the eyesight, saw Zhang Lao's eyes, and then heard that she was asked to go to the chessboard, she knew that her grandfather had something to say to this younger brother alone.
Zhang Xinyu left, although Zhang Laoye still had a kind smile on his face, his eyes were much sharper than just now: "Xiaotian, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, you have too many enemies now, a small security company is not enough to deal with, grandpa is a little worried." From this point, Zhang Chen was basically sure that Zhang Xinyu was not a liar, and the Zhang family had actually been silently paying attention to them, waiting for their family.
But the more this is the case, the more Zhang Chen feels that he should be independent, and he can't let this old man worry about his descendants anymore.
"Grandpa, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if we don't create a new world by ourselves, but blindly eat the old book, drunk and dreaming of death, our Zhang family will be annihilated by history sooner or later. "Zhang Lao didn't know this, but at the moment, none of his grandsons were of great use.
Just when he was desperate, Zhang Chen suddenly appeared amazingly, which made him see hope, so he hoped to cultivate this grandson in his lifetime. So he didn't want Zhang Chen to be in the slightest danger.
"My Zhang family can give you enough support, just like the Long family supports Long Zun, you don't have to take those risks at all. Zhang Chen shook his head: "Grandpa, do you think that if a grandson who has been forgotten by everyone suddenly comes back to take over the family, will others obey? If you do that, I am afraid that the Zhang family will really split." ”
"It's all my fault for being confused!" Seeing that Zhang Chen was so sensible and considered the problem so thoroughly, he really regretted it.
"Grandpa, not only can't I blame you, but I also want to thank you, if I grow up in the family, maybe I will also become an idle second ancestor, and the reason why I have today is completely because of the experience of human warmth, so I can be so thorough about human nature. ”
"It is precisely because you have seen it thoroughly that you should try to take over the Zhang family and lead the family to glory. Instead of letting others ruin. Zhang Chen shook his head again: "Grandpa, I promise you that as long as I, Zhang Chen, am here, I will not watch the Zhang family fall." When he said this, it wasn't about how deep his feelings were for the Zhang family, it was completely for the sake of the old man.
"With your promise, grandpa will be at ease even if he leaves now. "This time there was a lot of trouble, Zhao Mengdie was reprimanded by her grandfather as soon as she went home, and finally under Zhao Chenglong's intercession and that health regimen, Old Man Zhao's anger disappeared a little.
However, Zhao Mengdie was still punished for thinking about it behind closed doors.
