Chapter 40: What I Saw and Heard in the Old House

"I haven't been back for many years!" said Zhang's father as he walked on the stone road with a gift in his hand.

"It's not! So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, but the village is still so fresh and quaint!" Zhang's mother looked at the stout trees on both sides of the road, hoping to get back some memories of those years.

"I've arrived, my grandfather is also at home!" Zhang Han pointed to the courtyard and stepped into the courtyard.

In the yard, Niuniu was playing with the wolf cub, and suddenly saw Zhang Han coming back, and hurriedly stepped on her short legs and pounced on Zhang Han, "Godfather! hug! Giggle~~"

Zhang Han was worried that the little girl would fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the little girl.

"Run slower, don't fall!" Zhang Han put his forehead on the little girl's tender face.

"Zhang Han, do you have a child?" Zhang's mother stared at the cute porcelain doll in Zhang Han's arms, her eyes full of love.

"No, this is my godfather, come to Niuniu, call grandma!" Zhang Han hugged Niuniu and said.

"Grandma~" was full of childishness, and her glutinous voice instantly conquered Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother used to hug Niuniu directly, her face was full of kindness, "Come and let grandma hug her, our Niuniu is so cute!"

Zhang Han handed the little girl to Zhang's mother.

"And me, why did you forget me!" "Dad Zhang's resignation, if you have a grandmother, you don't have a grandfather?

"You old man! Niuniu, this is your grandfather!" Zhang's mother glared at Zhang's father, and didn't want to introduce Niuniu.

"Grandpa~" The little girl was still a little timid to outsiders, and her red little face leaned on Zhang's mother's shoulder.

Taigong also heard the sound of the yard, and it was estimated that the bamboo pole parents came and came out of the house.

"Taigong is arguing about you!" Zhang Han saw that Taigong came out, and hurriedly said.

"I didn't sleep, is this Zhang cub?" said Taigong staring at Zhang's father.

"Father-in-law, we're coming to see you! Your old body is still so tough!" Dad Zhang blushed a little, how old is he, and he still calls himself by his nickname.

"Taigong, Lao Zhang and I miss everyone too!" Zhang's mother saw the elderly Taigong, and her eyes were a little red.

"It's good to come back and take a look!" Taigong looked at the husband and wife, they have already entered middle age, and time is really a testimony of the years.

Dad Zhang sent the things he bought to the Taigong Housing, "Taigong, this is our filial piety to you!"

"Come over when you have time in the future and look at the old man, but don't take anything!" said Taigong with a wave of his hand.

"Niuniu still wants to play with her brother, Niuniu wants to come down!" The little girl was still thinking about the wolf cub, so she had to get down from Zhang's mother's arms.

"Brother, is there a younger brother at home?" Zhang's mother and Zhang's father looked at Zhang Han suspiciously.

"It's two wolf cubs, raise them to play with!" Zhang Han pointed to the two wolf cubs under his feet.

Dad Zhang's head was full of black lines, speechless, what is the situation, even if the wild boar is a pet, this wolf will also be raised!

Prince, the prince smelled the breath of the stranger, and roared at Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, but no matter how you listened, the voice was so tender, "woo~".

"Wow! it's so cute!" everyone likes cute pets, and Zhang's mother immediately fell in love with two little things.

"That's a wolf cub!" Dad Zhang repeated in Mama Zhang's ear.

"What's wrong with the wolf? Isn't it so cute!" Zhang's mother didn't care about Zhang's father, staring at the cute pet playing on the ground with bright eyes.

"Let's go to the old house and have a look, and pick the peaches by the way!" Zhang Han still remembered that it was important to get down to business.

"Yes, let's go see Peaches first!" Dad Zhang immediately responded.

Zhang Han found two large baskets and carried the flat pole to the old house.

"Taigong, let's go to the old house first, and then come back later!" Zhang's mother said to Taigong.

"Let's go!" the prince continued to watch the child in the courtyard.

Zhang Han walked in front, the monster followed, and Zhang's father also wanted to go with Zhang Han, but after seeing the monster, they still honestly walked behind to be safer.

Dad Zhang gestured at the monster, "Hey, the monster is on my chest, and I still think about it, what kind of pig is this!", turned his head to Zhang's mother and said.

"Zhang Han is a monster, and the pets around him must also be monsters!" Zhang's mother explained, and she believed it herself.

Regarding Zhang's mother's answer, Zhang's father shook his head with a smile.

The road was not far, and soon several people arrived at the old house, and Zhang's father and his father were shocked when they saw Zhang Han's new house.

Zhang's father walked a few steps quickly, arrived at the new house, looked at Zhang Han and said, "Are your new houses built with bluestone bricks?"

Zhang Han said proudly: "Well, they are all bluestone bricks!"

"You are the only one in the village!" Dad Zhang looked at all this, his eyes were full of cyan stone bricks, although they were not as tall as other people's buildings, but Zhang Han's new house gave people a heavy, atmospheric, and solid feeling.

"I want to come and live!" "Zhang's mother felt that it must be safe to live here.

"We'll see you then, we'll definitely come over to take a look, I'm really looking forward to your good look!" Zhang's father was full of expectations, although it was not his own house.

"Brother Zhang, are there guests at home?" Li Tou saw that Zhang Han had brought someone here, and came over to say hello to Zhang Han.

"Yes, come and have a look! Uncle Li, you're busy!" Zhang Han responded.

"My house was built by that person!" Zhang Han turned to Zhang's father and said.

"Let's go to the vegetable garden!"

In the vegetable garden, melons and fruits are fragrant, tender and green, everyone comes in, and they like it at first sight.

Dad Zhang came into the vegetable garden, and felt that his eyes were not enough, so he looked at this and touched that, which was not at all different from other farm gardens he saw.

Zhang's mother closed her eyes and her nose twitched, "It's so fragrant, it's so comfortable, this fragrance is the natural taste!"

Dad Zhang looked at Zhang Han with admiration on his face, "Zhang Han is still capable, and the things he grows are amazing!"

Zhang Han pointed to the peach tree and said, "Dad Zhang, this is the peach tree I planted, what do you see?"

Dad Zhang walked up to the peach tree and looked at it carefully, "You picked a lot, but it stands to reason that the fruit ripening cycle is not so fast, but your peaches are all ripe, and there is no less at all!", for the abnormality of this peach tree, Dad Zhang was also puzzled, he had never seen such a miraculous thing.

"This may have something to do with the soil and water quality in the mountains!" Zhang Han replied vaguely.

"How lovely, how delightful! Zhang's mother gently touched the peach in her hand.

Dad Zhang lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Zhang Han, your peaches, Dad Zhang collects 10 yuan a catty, what do you think?"

Zhang Han was a little surprised, "Dad Zhang, you can pick these peaches casually, why do you buy them!"

"Your peach, Dad Zhang took it, and he also sold it to others, because your peach tastes so good, many people have already ordered it from me, so I can't ask for you for nothing!" Dad Zhang explained.

"Yes, Zhang Han, you must keep this money, otherwise we won't be able to ask for your peaches!"

Zhang Han also knew the temperament of the two, so he accepted it, "But the price is not too high, just give some of it!"

Dad Zhang picked a peach and handed it to Zhang Han, "The taste of this peach, no one can resist it, so give you 10 yuan a catty, Dad Zhang still thinks it's low!"

"I didn't expect the fruits I grew to be so valuable, I can consider selling some fruits to bamboo poles in the future, and I just need to collect money!", Zhang Han thought in his heart.

"Okay then, let's pick it first!" After speaking, Zhang Han brought in two large baskets and used them for peaches.

Dad Zhang, the first time they picked this peach, their movements were extraordinarily gentle, for fear of scratching the skin.

Zhang Han saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything, and the three of them were busy picking peaches from the tree.

It wasn't until the two big baskets couldn't fit and were full that they stopped.

Zhang's mother rubbed her waist, "I haven't done physical work for a long time, and my waist hurts a little after a while!"

"You, you usually lack exercise!" Zhang quipped.

"Two baskets add up to four or five hundred catties!" The two baskets were lightly lifted, and Zhang Han estimated the weight.

At this time, there is a lot less fruit under the peach tree, and the peaches on top must be climbed to the tree or pedaled on a ladder to reach it.

"Dad Zhang, have you seen enough?" Zhang Han saw that the basket was full and there was no place to put it, so he asked Dad Zhang if he had seen enough.

"I still have the boxes in the car, just fill those boxes!" After saying that, he turned around and went to the car to get the boxes.

"I'd better go with you! How can you take it alone!" Zhang Han also followed.

Zhang's mother could only wait for the two of them.

After a while, the two came over with a few large cardboard boxes, and Zhang Han went to the front yard to move a fork ladder over.

Until all the boxes are also full.

Zhang's father was already tired and sat on the ground, worried that Zhang's mother couldn't stand it, so he went back to his grandfather's house first.

"It's been a long time since I've worked in person, it's really an old building!" Dad Zhang nibbled on a cucumber in his hand.

"Dad Zhang's body is quite tough, no matter how much he exercises, it is no worse than that of young people!" Zhang Han said as he nibbled on peaches, his mouth full of fragrant juice.

The two of them were almost resting, Zhang Han went to the village to borrow an ox cart, put the loaded peaches on the cart, and was not busy until it was almost noon.
