Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Dinner Treat
When Zhang Jiahang packed up his mood and arrived home, Jiaxuan and Jiaze both returned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he took out the paper bag in his arms and handed it to Yueyao, and instructed: "This is the ginseng given by Grandpa Hai, usually when you make soup for Yue'er, put some in it." There is also a piece of paper inside, which is a note written by Grandpa Hai, and you follow it. ”
"Yue'er, you must drink all the ginseng soup your eldest sister makes."
"Got it, big brother, I'll finish it." Zhang Yue'er replied in a low voice. She knows the value and efficacy of ginseng and will not waste it easily.
Zhang Yueyao took the paper bag, opened it carefully, took a look, and exclaimed, "Big brother, this is the whole ginseng, it's still fresh." How did you accept such a valuable thing? You better take this thing back and return it to Grandpa Hai. ”
Zhang Jiaxuan stepped forward and said suspiciously: "Big brother, last time you said that Grandpa Hai's medical skills are very high, let's not talk about it, but my mother and Yue'er have been sick for so many years, and Grandpa Hai has never done anything, why did you treat Yue'er that time?" And this time ginseng, why did such a valuable thing be given to us? ”
"Jiaxuan, I have also thought deeply about what you said. With Grandpa Hai's medical skills and the force of Uncle Feng and Uncle Fan who often enter the fierce mountain, they can never be simply from Orion. In my opinion, the people in the village are taboo against the Ning family, and the Ning family is not avoiding everyone! Otherwise, the Ning family would not have settled here. With Grandpa Hai's person, he didn't make a move to protect himself, but there should be other reasons. We don't understand why he's risking exposing himself to treat Yue'er, but whatever the reason, we don't have anything to worry about. Needless to say, what is the situation of our family, except for a few of us, there is really nothing to covet. ”
"Oh, yes! Grandpa Hai said that Yue'er would be sent there if he was sick in the future. When you go over there, remember to stay avoided. This ginseng was picked by Uncle Feng in the mountains a few days ago, and he said that it was given to Yue'er, not for me, and it was useless for me to say it, so he just asked me to take it back. Yueyao take it, in the future, if there is anything to help with Grandpa Hai, we will do our best. ”
"Well, then listen to the eldest brother and take it."
"Got it, eldest brother, second brother. I'll put some in the chicken broth later, and I'm cooking it! I can get Yue'er to drink it at noon. Zhang Yueyao replied with a smile. Ginseng can replenish Yue'er's body, Grandpa Hai's house is not far from their residence, and Yue'er doesn't have to rush to the town when she gets sick in the future. That's great!
"Well, Grandpa Hai can't come to eat at noon, what do they say, grandpa?"
"Big brother, grandpa, village uncle, and Jishan brother will all come over. However, Jia Ze said that Brother Yongping and Brother Dazhu would not come over. ”
Zhang Jiaze saw the eldest brother looking at him, and hurriedly added: "Eldest brother, I just told the second brother about this. When I went to Brother Yongping's house, my sister-in-law was unhappy and didn't let me in, she pushed that Brother Yongping went to the town and was not at home. But before I entered the door, I clearly heard Brother Yongping's voice. However, when I went there along the way, every time I met people in the village, they would say that they would invite me to dinner. When I came back, I didn't fall behind. ”
Speaking of this, he was very happy in his heart. If Brother Yongping goes out today and is bumped into by someone in the village, he will definitely slap himself in the mouth.
"Brother Dazhu has been working in the town these days, and he is going to go today, and he has made an appointment in advance, so he can't come. When I went, he brought me half a bag of grain, eggs, and preserved fruits, and I told him about the recent events at home, but he still forced him to take back the eggs and preserved fruits. ”
"I know, you have to remember the things that Brother Dazhu usually gave, these are human favors. Now that you're all back, let's prepare for the noon meal together. ”
This is the first time that my mother has invited someone to dinner since she went, so you have to be cautious.
Zhang Yue'er watched the three elder brothers in the family busy in the kitchen, and felt very warm. In this era, gentlemen are far away from cooking, but they are not taboo, and they usually help the eldest sister cook. Thinking that her brothers are so capable, she must choose a good sister-in-law for each of them in the future.
"Big brother, Brother Jishan is here, and he brought two pork over, I confiscated it. You and the second brother go out to say hello, here is me and the eldest sister can be fine. Zhang Jiaze came in from outside and said.
"Okay, Jiaxuan and I went out first." turned around and ordered: "Yue'er, when adding firewood to the stove, be careful, don't hurt yourself." ”
Zhang Yue'er nodded, where would such a trivial matter as burning a fire hurt her, she was quite familiar with it.
"Brother Jishan, just come here, why do you still take things, you have to take back this meat."
"What are you doing? Jiahang, Jiaxuan, these meats are for you to eat, how can you take them back. Isn't this my self-esteem? Besides, your father grew up with me, and your mother took care of my boy for several years, so it's worth it for me to do anything. ”
At that time, his mother-in-law looked down on him, and left her six-year-old son to run away with the money, if it weren't for Ziyang to comfort him, and Sanniang to help take care of the child, how could he and Weizi be today. After Ziyang left, he was afraid of causing trouble for Sanniang, so their father and son left less.
Zhang Jiahang couldn't refuse, so he had to ask Jiaxuan to take the pork to the kitchen to add a dish.
"Brother Jishan, sit down. Zhang Wei is coming back soon, right? ”
Zhang Wei, like Zhang Anping, both studied in the Zhang clan school, and this time he also went to Los Angeles to participate in the autumn examination. If it weren't for the difficulties at home, he would also want Jiaxuan to try it this year. As for Jiaze, let's talk about it a few years later.
At the age of ten, he was admitted to Xiucai, even though he deliberately answered the exam questions and got a medium score, he still made a lot of limelight.
Zhang Jishan saw that Jiaxuan had taken the meat inside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and drank a big bowl of water. When I came over, I was in a hurry, and I was afraid that I would miss the time to cook here and add a dish in time.
"I'm coming back, I should already be on my way. I don't know if I can get into it this time. If you can't pass the exam, you'll have to wait another three years! It's still you kid strong, and you won the show at the age of ten. Alas! You also know that Weizi doesn't like to study, if I hadn't forced him, he would have dropped out of school a long time ago. ”
Zhang Jiahang knew Zhang Wei's temperament, and guessed that he was more likely to fail the exam this time, so he had to comfort: "Brother Jishan, don't worry, Zhang Wei doesn't like to study, so let him take over your class is also promising." In the future, he will definitely be filial to you. ”
His kid can follow him, of course he is happy to be Lao Tzu, but he is also worried!
"Actually, my brother knows that Weizi can't pass the exam this time, and Xu Fuzi in the clan study doesn't recommend him to go down, but I still let him go, I have to try! If you can't do it, you have one more experience, and next time you will have a bit of a spectrum even if you go again. ”
"It's just that in the past two years, the taxes have become heavier and heavier, and I am afraid of military service and conscription above. I can use the silver to carry it down, I can save some money, work hard, and borrow it if I can't do it, but I'm afraid that the silver will be useless. To tell the truth, your brother has been the only seedling of Weizi in his life, and I am afraid that he will be arrested to work as a coolie and go to the battlefield in the future, I am really afraid! That's why I want him to be a show while he's young. I didn't expect him to be out of the picture, those twists and turns in the officialdom have seen a lot of your brother over the years, and I'm tired of looking at it! I don't want him to live such a scared life, I just count on him to take over my class after taking the exam! ”
After saying that, he sighed. What his son is like, the father couldn't be clearer. This time, before his kid went out, he also said that he would not study next year, but he did not agree. The boy will be back in a few days, and he will have to persuade him.
