The news that the seven caretakers were dismissed at the same time spread all over Zhang Yuan less than the next day, the reason, of course, everyone also knew, did not take good care of Chen Anxiu's son, that is, Zhang Shinian's adopted son, at this time, someone suddenly remembered that although everyone can move in this Zhang Garden every time they come back, it is not the public property of the clan, this garden is registered in the name of the old man Zhang Jinzhi, the old man is the most legitimate owner here, and Zhang Shinian naturally has enough weight to speak.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, in a slightly remote courtyard in Zhang Yuan, Zhang Shinian and Chen Anxiu had already gotten up, and they were still sleeping in bed, he had never been pressed and beaten when he was so big, he should have been really frightened, and he slept very unsteadily at night, and when he woke up, he called Dad, Chen Anxiu got up at night and hugged and coaxed him several times, and it was not until more than two o'clock in the morning that he felt that his breathing was slowly smoothing out.

The green maple leaves in the yard have turned a lot red, Chen Anxiu took a trip in the yard, and two fiery red pieces fell to his feet with the wind, he looked quite intact, picked them up and put them on the platform next to him, Mao Mao likes to run around the yard to pick these up, I don't know if children like these brightly colored things, thinking of Mao Mao, he went to the window to take a look, and his posture didn't change, he turned around and said to Zhang Shinian, who had just come out of the bathroom, " Let's wake him up, it's a big deal to wait for him to eat breakfast, and then go back to sleep. ”

"I'll go in and have a look. Zhang Shinian threw the towel in his hand to him, turned around and went into the house.

Chen Anxiu reached out and grabbed the towel, and just wanted to take off his long-sleeved T-shirt and enter the bathroom, but he didn't reply to Zhang Shinian, "Go in and take it off, I just said it yesterday." ”

"It's just you. Chen Anxiu pouted at his back, but still honestly ran into the bathroom in a sweaty T-shirt.

After Zhang Shinian entered the house, he removed the quilt that Chen Anxiu had placed on the side of the bed to block the bubbling, "Mao Mao, the little fat man is rising." He shook the hand that was lying on the outside of the blanket, the baby's hand was soft, the room was warm enough, and it was also very hot, he couldn't help but pinch it twice.

Maybe his movement was too small, and there was still no movement, Zhang Shinian shouted twice, but there was still no sound, he smiled, and simply wrapped the blanket and hugged the person, "Mao Mao? If you don't get up again, Daddy will eat all your food. ”

Sleeping ground happened to be woken up, and before his eyes opened, he hummed and didn't want to.

Zhang Shinian hugged him and talked while walking in the house, and after a while, he was much better when he was sober, hugging his father's neck and rubbing it back and forth.

Chen Anxiu washed up, and saw that Mao Mao was in such good spirits today, so he leaned over and kissed him fiercely, looking at the situation last night, he was still worried that the mood of the little thing would be affected in the past two days, and now it seems that it is much better than expected. But when he washed the people and wanted to take them to the dining room to eat, he stopped doing it, and he didn't want to go over there.

"What's wrong?" Chen Anxiu touched his head, obviously it was okay before, he didn't go to the dining room very much, every time he went, he tried to choose a remote table with few people, not for anything else, mainly because every time he saw a lot of food on the table, he wanted to taste everything, he knew that this kind of behavior was good at home, and if he was outside, it might be easy to annoy people, but finally he could understand the words of Mao Mao, and he was patient and coaxed, and Mao Mao would not be too out of line, and he could eat enough every time.

Dad asked, and he didn't know how to express himself, and he didn't want to go to the dining room anyway.

"If you don't go, forget it, let's go out to eat. Zhang Shinian took the person over and hugged him, "Mao Mao, let's go out to eat, can we eat noodles?"

"Yes. "I was happy to hear that I was going out to eat noodles, and I didn't wait for the adults to leave, so I had to come down and lead the way out in front.

Chen Anxiu fished the person back with one hand, "Just with your two short legs, if you really want to go out, you will have lunch." He asked Zhang Shinian again, "You said that you eat noodles, do you know where to go? Don't say that you said it casually, I can't control it when he can't eat noodles and make trouble." It's not that he wants to doubt it, but according to Zhang Shinian himself, he hasn't been back to Yuezhou for many years, and this time he has been back for a long time, and he has been running around.

"Let's see, I've accompanied the old man to eat twice before, but I can't go to other places. ”

Hearing this, people were not confident, but Chen Anxiu still followed people out in order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the father and son, there was not much development near Zhang Yuan, and there were still many old alleys, Zhang Shinian took people around the alley for about 20 minutes, just when Chen Anxiu wanted to ask him if he was lost. Zhang Shinian finally spoke, "It's here, it's the one in front." ”

Chen Anxiu glanced twice, it is an ordinary two-story wooden building, it is not inconspicuous from the outside, it seems that this old man also has an ordinary side in eating, not completely so high, the three of them went inside, it was already past the busiest time for breakfast, there were not many people in the store, sitting at the table in twos and threes, among them there were more old people, Chen Anxiu asked for a bowl of noodles for their father and son, ordered a fried gluten, and asked for a few side dishes, and now it is close to worshipping ancestors, but there are special people in the clan to take care of these things, Zhang Shinian is reluctant to interfere too much, and the outside itinerary is not necessary to go to the present, He asked Joe to postpone today and tomorrow, so now he has enough time to accompany An Xiu and the children to enjoy a leisurely time for breakfast.

They sit on the first floor by the south window, the neighborhood is a residential area, at a glance there is no very good scenery, but today's sunshine is really good, as soon as the window is opened, half of the desktop is bright, there is no special baby stool in the noodle shop, and he can't reach the rice bowl while sitting on the chair, Zhang Shinian feeds him with a bowl. A few old people next to him finished eating, and they had no plans to leave, so they kept sitting there chatting. Maybe there was nothing going on in the store, and the boss also put together a table with a plate of peanuts. Their voices are not small, at least Chen Anxiu can hear them clearly, but in the pure Yuezhou dialect, it is useless for him to hear them clearly, and he can't understand nine and a half out of ten sentences.

Chen Anxiu smoked the fish with chopsticks, cleaned the thorns, fed them to his mouth, and asked Zhang Shinian in a low voice, "Can you understand what they say?" I always felt that those people's eyes were always sweeping towards them.

"I understand a little bit. "Those people are also interesting, they are discussing them in front of them, saying something about whether they are from Zhang Yuan, and then some gossip about the Zhang family. He can only understand five or six percent.

"Isn't the old man from here? You never speak your hometown dialect at home?"

"My uncle followed his parents to Shanghai when he was very young, and he could understand the dialect of his hometown, but he didn't speak it very well. ”

"I see, what are they talking about in the point you understand?"

Zhang Shinian stared at the corner of his mouth and said, "Say that your carrot has eaten on your face." ”

"Wouldn't it?" Chen Anxiu wiped it with a tissue, "Is there anything else?"

"No, you come closer. ”

Chen Anxiu did not doubt him, and obediently probed over, and Zhang Shinian wiped the corner of his lips very quickly with a tissue that wiped his mouth.

"Are you alright?"

Zhang Shinian smiled, "Well, okay." ”

At this time, I heard someone outside the window say, "It's just too unusual." ”

This word is correct and round, and it is not possible to make people understand it, Chen Anxiu is not sure whether he is talking about them, he glanced out, and saw a young man in his twenties not far away supporting a thin old man, the words should be said by the old man, and he was looking at them at this time. He doesn't seem to know them, so who is he showing with a sad and angry expression?

"Or do you know?"

Zhang Shinian glanced at it very coldly, lowered his head and continued to feed noodles into his mouth, "I don't know." ”

The old man heard Zhang Shinian say that he didn't know him, and he was so angry that he was about to faint, and the young man next to him patted his back and was relieved, and it took a while to calm the person down, and then the young man looked at Zhang Shinian, as if he had something to say, seeing that the person didn't say anything, he coaxed the old man to leave, and the old man snorted heavily before leaving.

"They went to Zhang Yuan, this old man has a lot of temperament. He didn't even have this look, he didn't know who the old man was, but he was sure that the man had committed Zhang Shinian's taboo in a big way, Zhang Shinian looked humble on the surface, but in fact, he was extremely arrogant in his bones, few people could let him really see it, Ji Zhang's two old men occupied the identity of his father and uncle, and he would not directly touch his scales, the old man who was killed halfway dared to reprimand him in person, and Zhang Shinian was willing to pay attention to it.

"Uncle will take care of it, where do you want to go after eating?"

"There's no particular place to go, let's go to the temple next to it, I'll see you every day on the way back, I haven't been in yet, I'll go to the pedestrian street in the afternoon, buy something to eat for Tonton, isn't he going to come over tomorrow?"

"Listen to you. ”

On the other hand, the good show led by the old man gradually kicked off after the relevant personnel arrived one after another, the Zhang family is still prosperous, and there are many old people in the clan, especially in recent years, as the reputation of the Zhang family continues to rise at home and abroad, more and more people want to stand up and take charge, but there is no certain background and strength, even if they stand up, they can't convince the public, so now they can talk about clan affairs, and there are only a dozen or so people who can count them, most of them are the old elders of each branch, this ancestor worship is the top priority in the clan in recent years, and they are almost all back。 Of course, some of them have lived in Yuezhou for a long time.

The old man has a great prestige in the Zhang family, he posted yesterday, and most of them came this morning, including the current patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Yuannian, he and Zhang Shinian are the same generation, is the eldest son of the old man's third cousin, in his early seventies, not much younger than the old man, he settled in Hong Kong with his family in his early years, and now he is mainly engaged in real estate and international freight business, he has his own house near Zhang Yuan, and this time he did not live in the garden.

In the morning, the main thing is to drink tea and catch up, at noon the old man left a meal in his yard, most of the people who came were smart people among the smart people, and no one would think that the old man made a special trip to post just to call people over and knock his teeth, some of them even guessed some of the old man's intentions, since they came out to take charge, they were more informed than others in many things, at least everyone here knew Chen Anxiu, knew Chen Anxiu's background, and knew the existence of tons and tons of risk. But if the old man doesn't mention it, no one will mention it first.

After drinking tea, eating, it's time to talk about business, the old man took someone to the study, the bookcase put a few couplets he had just written in the morning, it was for the ancestral hall of the clan, the content is nothing more than some filial piety and humility, the glory of the ancestors and the like, next to the old man's words, is a few days before the chapter here casually wrote a word, he has not practiced for many years, only the foundation of his youth, and the regular script can be regarded as clear and elegant.

Zhang Yuannian recognized Zhang Shinian's words, picked it up and looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's rare that I'm interested, I haven't seen him write for many years." ”

The old man said, "I used to want him to have a heavy temperament, but after practicing for so many years, I haven't seen any progress in this area." ”

"At that time, he was already good enough, but the sixth uncle was too demanding. ”

The old man motioned for the others to sit, and said to Zhang Yuannian, "Sometimes it's still too reckless, and in the future, I will rely on you brothers to take care of me." ”

"It's all a family, and Uncle Six is too polite. ”

As soon as Zhang Yuannian's words fell, someone next to him interjected, "Speaking of which, when I came over in the morning, I met Shi Nian, and I just wanted to talk to him, but Shi Nian said that he didn't know me." It's also old, useless, and I haven't gone out for all these years. It's no wonder that I didn't even know my uncle at that time. ”

The old man was already seated at this time, and when he heard the words, he looked at the person opposite, if Chen Anxiu was present, he should be able to recognize that this was the thin old man who had just reprimanded them in the morning, he was a big man in the clan, even the old man had to call him a fifth uncle, his name was Zhang Zesheng, the old man's father was a generational run, just looking at this name, he knew that the relationship was not close, but Zhang Zesheng's lineage lived in Yuezhou for generations, and the genealogy and ancestral hall of the Zhang family were taken care of by his family, which was regarded as having two faces in the clan, and the reason why the old man posted to him was just the etiquette of the whole descendants, as for the rest, Zhang Zesheng thought too much。

As soon as Zhang Yuannian saw that the old man didn't say anything, he knew that things were not very good, the sixth uncle was short-sighted, he himself could say that Zhang Shinian was not good, but it didn't mean that other people could also say that they could comment casually, and Zhang Zesheng's tone was too big. Not everyone can exercise the rights of elders in the name of elders, and they have to weigh their own weight before they speak, "Uncle, this matter ......"

The old man waved his hand at him, and said to Zhang Zesheng, "It's also my negligence, he hasn't come back for so many years, and his relatives will inevitably be a little unrecognizable, so I should take him to visit each house first." ”

The old man dared to say this, but others didn't dare to respond like this, and said that the old man was too polite, and said that they were all members of the Zhang family, and they didn't need so many superficial articles for each other, Zhang Jinzhi took Zhang Shinian to visit, they asked themselves if they really couldn't afford this big gift, and they complained a little in their hearts that Zhang Zesheng was troublesome, they came to talk about things today, the old man had something to ask for, and the initiative was originally on their side, but now let Zhang Zesheng make such a fuss, but let them be passive.

"I also think that it is all the Zhang family, and I don't want to hide some things from everyone, I invite you to come over today, just to discuss one thing, maybe you have heard about it somewhat, there are now two sons at that time, this is my grandson, I want to take advantage of everyone's presence this time, to discuss the matter of genealogy. "What the old man said was a discussion, but anyone could hear it, and the old man had already made a decision.

Everyone else looked at Zhang Yuannian, and he opened his mouth first, "Is it the boy named Ton Ton?" Last year, Hongyi spent the summer vacation at Uncle Six, and when they came back, they brought some photos, and I saw that the child came out of the same mold as the old man. I wonder who the other one is?"

The old man used the tea lid to flick the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, "It's the child named Mao Mao, you may have seen it, and he lives in our garden." ”

"I've really seen this, and at first I thought it was Mr. Chen's child. "The blood relationship is too obvious.

"Mao Mao is also a child at that time, and his mother has something to do with An Xiu. "As for what the relationship is, you don't need to explain it to everyone.

Since he said so, Zhang Yuannian doesn't have much to doubt, if it weren't for Zhang Shinian's child, the old man really didn't have to write it on the family tree, once it entered the genealogy, it would represent the Zhang family's public recognition was good, but the substantive benefits that followed, with Zhang Shinian's current status, should not be in the eyes, "Since it is a child of the year, it is natural that you can enter the family tree, so the child's mother is here?"

"You should also know the current situation of Shi Nian, and it is very likely that this will be the case in the future, what Shi Nian and I mean is that we just want our children to be in the family tree, and the others will not be forced. ”

Hearing this, everyone present collectively fell silent, and he said generously, even if he didn't force Chen An to enter the family tree, just two illegitimate children would be enough to make the Zhang family faceless.

The old man was not in a hurry when he saw the reaction of the others, got up and paced the window and said, "I haven't been back for some years, but the scenery of this garden is getting better and better. This was our ancestral home, and several generations have lived here. I'm old now, and in the future, this ancestral house will still have to be taken care of by the clan. ”

Zhang Yuannian was shocked, of course he knew the meaning of the sixth uncle's words, the reason why the ancestral house and family cemetery of the Zhang family could be returned back was because the old man in front of him was maneuvering in many ways, and the country finally agreed to return it to the Zhang family, but who was the Zhang family at that time, the Zhang family was this old man, and Zhang Yuan and the family cemetery naturally fell into the hands of the old man. Listen to the old man's meaning today, if he agrees, he will return this garden to the clan, if he does not agree, the whereabouts of the garden can be imagined. The old man passed it on to Zhang Shinian, and Zhang Shinian passed it on to the two children.

He can hear it, and other people can naturally hear it, of course, the personal reaction is different, some people are pleased, some people are angry, they are glad that this garden can come back completely, and if they don't agree, this one also plans to let this ancestral house fall into the hands of others.

Zhang Yuannian had a plan in his heart, but he still had to leave after some cutscenes, "Sixth uncle, let me go back and discuss this matter with your uncles and brothers again." ”

The old man nodded, "Yes, there are still six days left before the ancestor worship, and there is enough time." "He couldn't wait indefinitely.

Zhang Yuannian should go down and leave first with the others, listening to them go downstairs and out of the courtyard, Fang Bining walked out of the next room, "Sincerely, is this appropriate? Even if they agree, they may be angry in their hearts." "A semi-coercive approach is tantamount to not giving people a choice.

"Blindly good sex does not necessarily have good results, besides, this garden is an ancestral home, sooner or later it will have to be handed over to the clan, if we keep occupying it, it will only increase the suspicion in the future. ”

Chen Anxiu and Zhang Shinian didn't know what happened in the garden this afternoon, they came back after dinner outside, and they walked from the old man when they came back, but Xu Mocheng said that the old man was a little tired today and went to bed early, so they didn't bother much.

Eleven o'clock in the morning of the next day was the time for tons to arrive in Yuezhou, because Zhang Yuan was more than an hour's drive from the airport, they set off at a little more than nine o'clock, Yan Xu accompanied tons of tons to come, after receiving people, he said hello to Chen Anxiu, and went out with his luggage to get ready to get on another car, Chen Anxiu hadn't seen tons for half a month, and just when they met, he hooked his son's neck and pressed down hard, "Oh, who is this little handsome guy?"

"Chen Zhuangzhuang's son, Chen Tontonbei. ”

Chen Anxiu rubbed his face with both hands, "It's against you, you dare to even mention your Lao Tzu's nickname." ”

Tons of tons laughed and threw themselves at him, "I don't believe you haven't called my grandfather before." ”

"Shouting is shouting, but your grandma can twist my ears every time. ”

The father and son laughed for a while, and asked him, "What about my big dad and Stinky Babbling?"

"I heard that you were coming, and I didn't sleep since last night, but I fell asleep on the way here, and your big dad stayed in the car with him. ”

"He's such a little pig, he doesn't get enough sleep every day. ”

Chen Anxiu took off the bag he was carrying on his shoulder, "Maybe you're awake, let's go over and take a look." ”

The result was not as Chen Anxiu expected, people slept until they got home and didn't wake up, everyone was having lunch, and he was still wheering. Lunch was eaten in the old man's courtyard, the old man was very happy to see Tonton, even the old lady pulled and asked a lot of words, you must know that the old lady is kind to Mao Mao, but always keep a proper distance from Mao Mao, even if it is the first time to meet, let alone hug, not even a finger has touched Mao Mao, Zhang Shinian said that the old lady does not like children to be noisy, but in Chen Anxiu's opinion, the old lady does not like children at all.

After the meal, the old man had something to leave Zhang Shinian, Chen Anxiu took Ton Ton Mao back to the yard where he lived temporarily, and after entering the house, Ton Ton first packed the luggage he brought, and came over to see Mao Mao, "Doesn't he have to get up to eat?"

Chen Anxiu pulled the quilt to Mao Mao, "Let him sleep first, he hasn't slept well for two nights." I guess I'm really sleepless this time. You sleep too, you should be up early this morning, right?"

Tons of tons lay down on the side of Mao Mao, "Well, I got up at a little after five o'clock, grandma's dumplings, I made them last night, what did Mao Mao do the night before yesterday and didn't sleep?"

"The day before yesterday afternoon, I was beaten by a team, and you see that he was caught in the neck. ”

Mao Mao fell asleep, and he didn't dare to raise his chin for fear of waking him up, so he didn't dare to lift his chin to look closely, and he could only see a little bit on the side of his face, so he looked at it several times, "Why did they beat him?"

"Those children are not very old, let's play, you go to sleep, when he wakes up, you ask him, see if he knows what to say?"

Tons gently touched the little fat man's face, next to him, and fell asleep after a while.

It's too sleepy, it's hard to catch up with a weekend, and I have to take a plane, tons of this sleep is black and sweet, until more than two hours, I gradually have consciousness, after having consciousness, even if the eyes are still closed, I feel that there is someone next to him, he barely opened his eyes a slit, the first thing he saw was two round fat feet, less than five centimeters from his face, wearing two white plush socks, and there was a panda head embroidered on his ankles.

When he opened his eyes a little more, the owner of the fat-footed girl sat across from him, with a teddy bear on his lap, and he was fiddling with the teddy bear back and forth, fiddling with his head and arms.

"Risky, you sit honestly, don't wake up my brother, my brother is very tired and sleeping. My brother wakes up and plays with you. Dad came in from outside and whispered.

"Yes. He nodded in a matter-of-fact manner, and when he looked down, he might see that he was awake, and his two big eyes lit up instantly, and he threw away the bear and threw himself into his arms, "Gotta gotcha, gotta got." ”

"Mao Mao, what did we say just now?" Ton Ton slept with his back to the door, Chen Anxiu didn't notice that he was awake, and when he saw Mao Mao like this, he just wanted to stop it, and saw that Ton Ton had already reached out and hugged the person. 166 Reading Network
