Chapter 37: Understanding Zhang Yan
Zhang Yan took me to the man and introduced me to me, "This is my brother Zhang Chen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" She pointed at me again and said to her brother, "This is my boss Dongfang Xu." ”
I shook Zhang Chen's hand and said hello.
Zhang Chen said: "Sister, go home quickly!" ”
Zhang Yan snorted, "Okay." ”
Zhang Yan and I got into Zhang Chen's car, and Zhang Chen started the car.
Zhang Yan asked, "Brother, did you buy a car?" ”
Zhang Chen said: "No, this is the car I borrowed from Zhou Yang." ”
When we walked into a courtyard, we saw white cloth everywhere, and the funeral atmosphere was very strong. Zhang Yan ran into the mourning hall, threw herself in front of her mother's urn, and cried loudly. I walked over, put three pillars of incense in front of the black and white statue, and stood aside.
Zhang Yan's father was a bald old man in his sixties, slightly chubby, with tears in his eyes, and went straight to help Zhang Yan.
It was also very sad to see their family grieving. Thinking about it, I haven't been home for a long time since I had a conflict with my family, and I'm afraid that one day I will be separated from one of them, and I can't regret it.
After Zhang Yan finished crying, she introduced me to all her relatives. Everyone looked me up and down, speculating about my relationship with Zhang Yan, but the family was very friendly and had no hostility towards me.
Zhang Yan's father's name is Zhang ****, and he is a retired police officer. He chatted with me for a few words and got to know me, I felt weird, did he really think I was Zhang Yan's boyfriend? Hehe, how could they have such an idea?
At night, the Zhang family left me to live in the courtyard, I saw that his family had many relatives, and it must have been very crowded at night, so I went out to find a hotel.
I was lying on a big snow-white bed, my mind was in disarray, and my mood was very low. Remembering that Zhang Yan didn't even see her mother for the last time, and could only make up for the guilt of her mother with sadistic crying, I began to worry. I'm worried that I won't be able to see my parents for the last time, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Tossing and turning, I finally managed to fall asleep.
The next day, when I arrived at the door of Zhang's house, I found a big lock hanging on the door, and a neighbor's uncle came in the distance, so I ran over and asked, "Uncle, do you know where Zhang Yan's family went?" ”
The uncle said: "I know, her mother died, and their whole family went to Babaoshan to be buried." ”
I muttered, "Oh, I see, thank you, uncle." ”
"You're welcome. Ay? Young man, who are you from Zhang Yan? The uncle turned around and asked.
"I'm her friend, and I came back with her yesterday to offer my condolences." I had a whim and asked, "Uncle, you have known Zhang Yan's parents a long time ago, right?" ”
The uncle said kindly: "Yes, we have known each other for thirty years. ”
"You should also know about Zhang Yan when she was a child, right?" Hey, look at what I asked, doesn't this obviously tell Uncle I want to know about Zhang Yan?
The uncle's eyes seemed to say, I have long seen that the relationship between the two of you is unusual, this is self-explanatory, he said patiently: "Understand!" She was a tomboy as a child and often got into fights with boys. In the year of the college entrance examination, her mother suddenly contracted uremia, and the child dropped out of school and worked everywhere in order to earn medical expenses for her mother. Yan'er is a filial child, and the neighbors like her very much. It's not my old man who boasted about the slogan, Yan'er has always been clean and self-loving since she was a child, and she never messes with the relationship between men and women. Having said that, she practices martial arts all day long, which boy dares to provoke her? ”
I smiled approvingly, "Hehe, that's just as well." ”
I sat at the door and chatted with my neighbor's uncle for two hours, and finally saw the black car driven by Zhang Chen driving back.
I stood up and waited until the car stopped, Zhang Yan got out of the car, I went over to hold her up, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she said, "It's okay, I've kept you waiting." ”
I laughed and said, "I just came, too." ”
Zhang Chen, father and son, and relatives of the Zhang family invited me into the house and gave me a warm welcome. I talked to them a lot about their parents' shortcomings, and Uncle Zhang complained to me for a long time.
Zhang Chen had already reached the age of marriage, but all the girls wanted cars and houses, and he spent all the family's savings in order to treat his mother's illness, where did he have spare money to buy a car and a house? After Uncle Zhang retired, he could have spent his leisure time, but his wife fell seriously ill and passed away, disrupting his peaceful life.
I didn't expect Zhang Yan's family to be so difficult. If I could, I really wanted to help them, but Zhang Yan's self-esteem is so strong, and I will inevitably break her heart if I use money to help her family. Not every woman wants someone else to help her with money. Zhang Yan is very competitive and never takes money that he doesn't get for nothing.
The relatives of the Zhang family comforted Uncle Zhang and Zhang Yan's brothers and sisters, and left one after another, and a lively courtyard house became extremely deserted in an instant. It is most appropriate to use the word desolate to describe the situation of the Zhang family, father and son at this moment.
I asked Uncle Zhang, "Uncle, what kind of entertainment do you usually like?" ”
Uncle Zhang said: "I don't have any hobbies, I just like to play chess." ”
"That's great, I also like to play chess."
"Yes, then let's have a discussion between the two of us when we have time."
"yes, I'm looking forward to it."
I really wanted to play chess with Uncle Zhang to improve his mood, but seeing that he was so distraught now, I could only dismiss this idea for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to play with him again in the future.
The mess left over from the funeral of the Zhang family has not yet been cleaned up, so I took the lead and went all out to help the Zhang Yan brothers and sisters as cleaners and porters.
On July 25th, I saw that Zhang Yan was still depressed, and asked funny: "Zhang Yan, it's been a few days since I came to BJ, aren't you going to take me out for a tour?" ”
Zhang Yan said listlessly: "I'm really not in the mood to go out, no, you can find someone to accompany you!" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Looking for someone?" I only have one friend in the whole BJ, and this is on your territory, are you embarrassed to let me go to someone else? ”
"Alright then!" Zhang Yan couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly agreed.
We came to the day. stood in Anmen Square for a while, went to salute Chairman Mao with two bouquets of flowers, and went around the Forbidden City.
Zhang Yan is dressed very plainly today, and she doesn't wear makeup, but she still looks so beautiful, but she is a little haggard.
Although Zhang Yan is not as charming as Song Qian and not as sexy as Yang Li, she has a simple beauty, which is a very rare beauty. Scarcity is expensive, maybe Zhang Yan's simplicity can just take away the title of the first beauty. Of course, I can't use the data to evaluate the beauty level of the above three beauties at this time, because they have their own characteristics and advantages.
Coming out of the Forbidden City, Zhang Yan asked, "Dongfang Xu, where else do you want to play?" ”
I thought for a moment: "Let's go to the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest!" ”
After swimming in the Olympic Park, it was getting late, and we were going to go home, when suddenly a young man ran behind Zhang Yan, bumped into her, and galloped away.
"Stinky boy, stop!" Zhang Yan shouted and chased after him.
Before I could react, Zhang Yan had already grabbed the young man. A bright dagger appeared in the kid's hand in an instant, and he beckoned to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan suddenly took out the grappling technique, and pressed the kid to the ground, and the kid obediently handed over her mobile phone and wallet.
After doing it for a long time, that kid was a thief, and he just took Zhang Yan's mobile phone and wallet. Damn, he actually stole Zhang Yan, he really didn't know Taishan.
Zhang Yan wanted to send the kid to the police station, he was full of kind words and kept begging, but Zhang Yan finally warned him and let him go.
When we got home, Uncle Zhang had already cooked the meal, and we sat at the dinner table and talked about a lot of good news about the scenic spots. It can be seen that Zhang Yan accompanied me for a day today, and she was in a much better mood. After dinner, Uncle Zhang brought a chessboard and wanted to play chess with me.
Zhang Yan sat on the side and watched us play chess, and commented: "Dongfang Xu, your chess skills are too bad!" ”
I smiled and said, "As long as my uncle and I play a few more games, we will definitely improve our level." ”
Uncle Zhang said: "Dongfang Xu, you are too modest, in fact, I think you are very good, but you usually have too little." ”
Zhang Yan said: "You two don't flatter each other, concentrate on playing chess." "She went out and brought us a plate of fruit.
Uncle Zhang's chess skills are really good, he made me lose two games in a row, and the defeat was super miserable, but I finally defeated him in the third game, and Zhang Yan was impressed with me. It seems that I have a talent for chess.
After playing chess, Uncle Zhang fell asleep, and Zhang Yan led me into the south room and made a bed for me. I am grateful for her hospitality to me. Seeing Zhang Yan's gentleness, I faintly remembered Song Qian again. When I used to be with Song Qian, I was really warm and happy, but we can't go back to the past, I can only treat her as eternal history. If I can, I still hope that I can re-develop a relationship and try to cover every bit of my relationship with Song Qian.
Zhang Yan looked at me in a daze, and asked with a smile: "Dongfang Xu, what are you thinking?" ”
I came back to my senses and explained, "I'm thinking, how can you, a martial arts practitioner, have such a gentle side? ”
Zhang Yan glanced at me and said: "Don't look at us martial arts people with colored glasses, we are not all people with developed limbs and simple minds, we also have the quality of being smart and delicate, besides, you are my boss, and you personally accompany me home, of course I have to be good to you, this is called courtesy!" ”
"Well, that makes sense!"
"Sleep, I'm out!"
"Okay, good night!"
I lay down in the quilt, took out my mobile phone and browsed WeChat, and a netizen wanted to add me.
After I passed the verification, the other party took the initiative to chat with me: "Hello, handsome guy! ”
I replied, "Okay, ...... you?" ”
"I'm a woman from afar who has admired you for a long time and wants to make friends with you!"
Who is this? Is it my fan? But my WeChat account is not open to the outside world, how does she know? She shouldn't make a telecom fraud farce on me, I'm most annoyed by this.
"Really? It is a great honor. "I don't like strangers, but there is still a lot of etiquette on the surface.
"Great, thank you."
"You're welcome."
She sent me a picture of shaking hands.
I replied with a smiling emoji.
"What are you doing?"
"Get ready for bed."
"Oh, then you go to sleep, good night!"
"Good night!"
I put my phone down and closed my eyes. I'm thinking, this distant woman can't be Song Qian, right? No way, she hates me so much that she didn't tell me when she went to the United States, how could she take the initiative to talk to me? Forget it, I don't need to be interested in a stranger.
