Chapter 172: New Cousin

Towards August, one of Zhang Tan's uncle's cousins got married, and he was forced to go back to his hometown with his parents.

To be honest, Zhang Tan didn't really want to go to the wedding, he didn't move around much with his uncle's house, and his cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins were not very familiar, especially the cousin who was married, Zhang Tan felt that he didn't seem to have spoken to the other party in total, more than a hundred words of dialogue, and he didn't even know his full name.

I only know that she is called "new cousin", and sometimes she is called "third cousin", and the woman in her uncle's family is the third.

Because Tan Mingxia was in a hurry to go to her mother's house to help, when she drove through the Qiao'an community, she just asked Zhang Tan to come down and give some tea, tobacco, alcohol, and supplements to her grandfather.

People often come to visit the family and bring some valuable gifts, most of which are transported back to their hometown.

Left something behind, and the family of four went directly to my uncle's house.

It's still early, and the groom hasn't come to pick up the kiss yet.

However, the door of the second uncle's house is already full of people, with the word "Xi" pasted on the door, and there is also red paper fried by firecrackers in front of the door, which is lively and noisy.

When the Audi A6 drove to the side of the road and was about to drive to the door, the crowd erupted into an exclamation: "It's the third sister and her brother-in-law's family who are back!" ”

The car door opened, and it was immediately surrounded by a crowd.

After Zhang Tan walked out, he could immediately feel that countless eyes were on him. Then, I had to say hello to the elders one by one, and then accept the praise of the elders.

This is all a rehash of the same old tune, every time I come to my uncle's house, I have to have this set of routines.

It's a worry about being a celebrity.

This time, there are obviously more people besides my uncle's family. Because Zhang Tan's third cousin got married, he rushed over, and then looked at Zhang Tan like a giant panda.

Fortunately, the uncles and aunts are very enthusiastic about Zhang Tan's family. Soon welcomed Zhang Tan's family into the house. There were fewer people in the house, all of whom were relatives. It's much more comfortable.

"Where's the new cousin?" Zhang Tan plans to go and see the bride.

"Your new cousin is doing makeup in the back room." The second aunt grabbed a bunch of melon seeds and small candy and asked Zhang Tan to eat them.

Zhang Tan hurriedly excused himself: "Thank you, second aunt, I'll just eat a small candy, you can give it to them, I'll go to see my new cousin in the back." ”

Of course, Tan Mingxia and Zhang Yan also had to follow, so the second aunt walked forward with a smile on her face and entered the back room together. The back room is a small tiled house, which is newly decorated, on the dresser. The new cousin has changed into a wedding dress and put on beautiful makeup. Several cousins were in the house with them.

The ladies greeted each other very warmly: "Third aunt, swallow." ”

The third cousin saw Zhang Tan from the mirror and smiled brightly: "Writer Zhang, as soon as you come, the wall will suddenly shine." ”

Zhang Tan approached, looked at the third cousin carefully, and said, "The new cousin has a sweet smile today, it seems that people have a happy event." Sure enough, the spirit is refreshed. ”

The makeup artist of the third cousin is a woman, and she looks unexpectedly okay, while helping the third cousin put on makeup. While looking at Zhang Tan curiously, he asked the third cousin: "This is the writer's cousin of your family, the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" "Apparently before chatting. The third cousin mentioned Zhang Tan to her.

The third cousin said proudly: "How is it, my cousin is handsome." ”

The makeup artist said to Zhang Tan excitedly: "I have been watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" every day recently. It turned out that you wrote it, you are so talented. ”

There are fans everywhere you go. Zhang Tan smiled undeniably: "General." ”

The second aunt quickly came in with a cup and made several cups of tea, in the summer, even in the morning, it was still very hot, and after Zhang Tan thanked him, he wanted to put the teacup on the cabinet next to him.

At this time, a few little heroes ran in to make trouble, and accidentally bumped into the third cousin's chair, the third cousin's body was crooked, and her arm waved to stop Zhang Tan's arm, and then the small half cup of tea was spilled on Zhang Tan's pants.

"Ouch, I'm sorry." The third cousin said apologetically.

Zhang Tan shook the pants of his slacks and joked, "New cousin, are you afraid that I will steal your husband's limelight?" ”

"Don't rob it, he's not as handsome as you." The third cousin said very frankly.

"I knew I wouldn't wash my hair in the morning, so I could keep a low profile."

Very boring joke.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tan only felt that the temperature had dropped a few degrees, and it was a little cold, so he simply turned around and left. It's a room full of fat, and it's not appropriate for him to stay inside. When he went to the hall, Zhang Quanshun was talking to several middle-aged and elderly people in the hall, all of whom were people with heads and faces near Uncle Zhang Tan's house.

People are also divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and this is the case everywhere.

Pick-up and drop-off, greetings are different. When a guest comes to the house, it must be the person with the highest rank in the family to greet him. Zhang Quanshun helped greet the guests, undoubtedly giving these guests, a very big face, Gangji Town is so big, who doesn't know that Zhang Quanshun's son is a well-known writer.

With it, Zhang Quanshun has also become a well-known person, and his social status has been greatly improved.

When Zhang Tan came in, he saw Zhang Quanshun sitting on a chair at the bottom of the middle hall, chatting and laughing with the guests.

According to the customs of ancient times, calligraphy and paintings must be hung in a house, which is the so-called middle hall, which is generally facing the gate and is the main seat in the house. With the back to the nave, the chair at the bottom is the one where the highest status sits. In the past, the landlords and lords sat at the bottom of the middle hall and talked to their subordinates.

Therefore, the seat Zhang Quanshun is sitting on is the most honorable seat in the room.

Seeing Zhang Tan coming, a guest with half a hundred hair immediately asked, "Boss Zhang, is this your young master?" ”

"Young master" is an elderly person in the countryside, and the polite names for other people's children are all handed down from ancient times.

Zhang Quanshun nodded: "Yes, my kid Zhang Tan...... Zhang Tan, don't stand here, go outside and see if there is anyone who needs help. ”

Zhang Tan smiled at the room full of guests, as a greeting, he didn't know any of these people, and then went out. Help or something, he feels unnecessary, there are a lot of uncles and families, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him. Just go to grandma and grandpa's house.

Grandpa was chatting with a few old men at the door.

"Grandpa, what about chatting?"

Grandpa has gray hair and a stiff waist, and when he heard Zhang Tan's greeting, he smiled and said, "Yang Yang is back, with your parents?" ”

"Hmm. Grandpa, you chat, I'll go find grandma. ”

Grandpa nodded and let Zhang Tan into the house, turned to the other old men and said, "My grandson, Minxia's son." ”

The old men suddenly said, "Oh, the writer who wrote the book is him?" ”

Grandpa said proudly: "This is him, my grandson is the most promising, he writes books and makes money, and now his family lives in Heqi, and he has also bought a house in Beiya." ”

"That's really capable, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been playing on TV every day for the past two days, it's your little grandson who did it, right, my sons and grandsons like to watch it."

Grandpa happily explained: ""The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a novel written by him, but it was not filmed by him, it was a TV series made by other directors who bought his copyright. ”

"I know what you said, he is a great writer, specializing in writing novels, writing novels, and other directors come to shoot them."

……

Zhang Tan sat down at her grandmother's place and talked to her grandmother.

The grandmother was born as a child daughter-in-law, and it is said that she escaped from the desert from Henan and was sold to Hehuai by human traffickers. A few years ago, my uncle took my grandmother to Henan to look for it, but my grandmother couldn't remember what happened when she was a child, so she didn't find her relatives. Over the years, the house has been full of children and grandchildren, life is getting better and better, and grandma has given up thinking about that side.

There were too many people who fled from Henan back then, and it was very old, and grandma only remembered that there was a crooked neck tree at the door of her hometown, and there was a pigsty under the tree, and she didn't remember anything else.

There are so few clues that I don't even know which city it is, so I can't find it at all.

After sitting in my grandmother's house for more than an hour, the team finally arrived.

There were six cars, starting with a Passat.

At this time, in the countryside, the Passat was a luxury car, and not everyone could borrow a car of the Audi A6 level. Zhang Tan's family is willing to borrow a car to make a wedding car, but according to rural customs, the woman is not responsible for providing the car, everything depends on the sincerity of the south.

After the groom got out of the car, Zhang Tan looked at it.

It's an ordinary-looking young man, still wearing a suit on a hot day, and sweating.

After a series of kissing activities such as stuffing red envelopes and finding shoes, the groom completed the kissing task. The man also hired a videographer to take pictures of the whole process.

I don't know who alerted the cameraman, or if the cameraman recognized Zhang Tan himself.

When filming, this guy frequently shot in the direction of Zhang Tan, Zhang Tan didn't want to steal the limelight, so he simply continued to retract into his grandmother's room. When the bride got into the wedding car, she beckoned her grandmother, grandfather, and sister to get on the Audi A6, followed the wedding car, and went to the hotel. Come back and pick up your parents too.

Then, he also went to the Qiao'an community, picked up the uncle, the third uncle, and the uncle, and went to the hotel.

The bride's family filled nine tables.

At the door of the hotel, Zhang Tan saw a banner on the top of the door, which read: "Groom Li Qingfei and bride Tan Lanxin, tie the knot and be together for a hundred years." ”

"It turns out that the new cousin's name is Tan Lanxin, and she is Cousin Xin, not a new cousin."

Zhang Tan couldn't help but despise himself a little, for decades, he didn't even know what the name of his third cousin was. In my previous life, I obviously attended my cousin's wedding, but I still didn't remember the other party's name.

After entering the hotel, Zhang Tan was immediately invited to the main table.

Zhang Tan saw that his parents were also sitting at the main table, and immediately shook his head: "I won't sit at the main table, I'll go sit with my cousin and them!" ”

Knowing that the other party respects his fame, but having his parents sitting at the main table is enough to respect. As a junior, no matter how famous he is, he is embarrassed to squeeze into the main table with his parents.

The person who arranged the seats at the groom's family seemed to recognize Zhang Tan as a celebrity, so he had to pull Zhang Tan to sit at the main table and pull for a while before he let go of Zhang Tan and sat down with his cousins under Tan Mingxia's persuasion.

Wiping his sweat, Zhang Tan felt speechless.

Now that he has become a celebrity, he is less and less reluctant to attend any weddings and the like, although the other party respects him as a writer and a celebrity, but the more Zhang Tan is like this, the more uncomfortable he becomes. (To be continued.) )
