Chapter 457: Visiting Relatives
Zhong Huan heard his mother say that his uncle likes literary toys such as bracelets, and suddenly had an idea. The last time he went to visit Lin Zhongshan in the hospital, he bought a pair of walnuts and planted them in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, but after a long time, he forgot about this stubble, and he didn't know how it looked now.
"Mom, leave it to me to buy gifts. Guaranteed to keep you satisfied. Zhong Huan couldn't wait to see the walnut tree in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu.
Zhang Shulan is very relieved of her son's ability to do things. Zhong Huan took this matter down, and she didn't care. After eating, Zhong Huan returned to his house and entered the Ten Thousand Beast Gu.
It had been a few months since the two walnuts were planted, and it had been decades in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu, and the two walnuts had turned into a walnut forest at this time. If Zhong Huan hadn't dug the boundary in advance, the area of this walnut forest would have been more than a hundred times larger.
The tall walnut tree was full of green fruits, and the head was like a small green apple. According to the jargon, this kind of walnut that has not yet fallen from the tree and peeled is called green bark. Only by peeling off the surface of this layer of green skin can you see the walnut with lines inside.
Generally speaking, two walnuts of the same size on the same branch have the most suitable texture. This walnut is like a twin, it is a congenital match. Of course, this naturally paired walnut is also as rare as a twin.
However, rare does not mean that there are none, and there will always be more walnuts. With Zhong Huan's eyesight, he found a pair after a little search, and when he activated the perspective function of the eyes, he saw that the texture in the green walnut was really similar, and the size was quite consistent. So Zhong Huan jumped up the tree and picked off two green-skinned walnuts.
Zhong Huan carefully peeled off the green skin, took out the walnuts inside, and measured them with calipers, the diameter of the two walnuts was forty-eight millimeters. In this walnut forest, these two walnuts are not big, but the 48mm walnuts placed in the outside world are amazing.
If you divide the walnuts by size. The length, width and height are more than 40 mm, which belongs to large walnuts. Those with three indices below 30mm can be identified as small walnuts. Those under 20mm can be called mini walnuts. For the average medium-sized walnut, the three indices are between 30mm and 40mm.
However, in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, walnuts between 40mm-50mm abound, which can only be regarded as average. Large walnuts are above 50mm. As for the small walnuts under 30mm, there are basically no in the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, let alone mini small walnuts. Generally speaking, the bigger the walnut, the more valuable it is. 48mm walnuts can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
Zhong Huan chose the gift, and the next day he went to match a brocade box with walnuts. After a few days, it will be the fifth day of the first month. The fifth day of the first lunar month is commonly known as breaking the five, which means that many taboos during the New Year can be broken on this day, and there is also a saying that the God of Wealth is welcomed on this day.
Zhang Chongwen's restaurant is located in the west of the city, and in previous years, Zhong Huan's family always got up early in the morning when they wanted to go, but this year Zhong Huan has a car, so he doesn't have to get up so early. After breakfast, the family of three calmly went out.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Zhong Huan drove the car to the front of the restaurant, because it was not yet the meal, there were not many cars parked in front of the restaurant. Zhong Huan parked the car and just walked down. I saw a Buick sedan parked in a parking space not far away, and then two women and a man got out of the car.
The two women are about forty years old, and their appearance is somewhat similar to Zhang Shulan. The other was about twenty, and he looked very similar to the woman, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a mother and daughter. And the man was also in his twenties, and after getting out of the car, he walked side by side with the young girl, which should be a couple. After the three of them got out of the car, they didn't look at Zhong Huan, but walked directly towards the restaurant.
"Sookmin! Miao Miao! ”
Zhang Shulan screamed as soon as she saw these three people. It turned out that the woman was Zhang Shulan's sister Zhang Shumin. That girl was her daughter, Zhang Miao.
"Second sister, brother-in-law. Xiao Huan, are you here by car? ”
Zhang Shumin looked back at Zhong Huan's family and asked in surprise. The Zhang family has three brothers and sisters, Zhang Chongwen is the eldest, Zhang Shulan is the second, and Zhang Shumin is the youngest, so she calls Zhang Shulan the second sister according to the big rank. It's not that she has two older sisters.
"Yes, this car was newly bought by Xiao Huan. You're also coming by car? ”
Zhang Shulan looked at the car behind her sister and asked. Among the three of their brothers and sisters, the eldest brother Zhang Chongwen is the richest, and only Zhang Chongwen had a car at home before. I didn't expect that not only my family would get rich this year, but even my sister's family would also get rich.
"Of course! This car belongs to Miao Miao's boyfriend. Come. Let me introduce you to you, this is Miao Miao's boyfriend Yu Gongce, the son of President Yu of our company. Gongce, this is Miao Miao's second aunt, second aunt and their son Zhong Huan. Zhang Shumin proudly introduced.
"Hello! Hello! The young man looks really spirited. ”
Zhang Shulan praised it so on her lips, but she didn't think so in her heart. This Yu Gongce is wearing a good outfit, but he is not tall and a little fat, that is, he is an ordinary person. Zhang Shulan felt that judging from his appearance alone, he was not worthy of Zhang Miao. However, if family factors are taken into account, the two of them can be regarded as rich and beautiful.
"Hello!"
Yu Gongce responded lightly, and he didn't call anyone. In his opinion, Zhong Huan's family is Zhang Shumin's poor relatives, and there is no need to deal with them. If Zhong Huan hadn't driven a BMW, he wouldn't even bother to say hello.
Generally speaking, the relationship between a boy and a girl is a man chasing a woman. Boys should not only please girls, but also their parents. But Yu Gongce and Zhang Miao are not in this relationship. The two of them made friends because of Zhang Shumin's thread, to put it bluntly, Zhang Shumin wanted to climb high branches, because Yu Gongce's father Yu Cheng was the general manager of the company.
Yu Gongce usually not only doesn't have to please Zhang Shumin, the future mother-in-law, but Zhang Shumin also has to please him. So there is no need for him to have a relationship with Zhong Huan's family.
Zhang Shulan couldn't help frowning when she saw that Yu Gongce's attitude was neither salty nor light. Although she and Zhang Chongwen and Zhang Shumin are compatriots, their personalities are completely different. The eldest brother Zhang Chongwen has a bold and generous personality, Zhang Shulan has an easy-going temperament and has no quarrel with the world, and Zhang Shumin is more utilitarian.
When Zhang Shumin was in love, she was looking for a rich boy in the family, and later married a boss surnamed Wang. But within two years of marriage, Boss Wang began to have an affair.
Zhang Shumin had already given birth to a child at that time, and she coveted Boss Wang's money, so she endured it even if she knew that her husband was messing around outside. But if she endured it, it doesn't mean that Xiao San can endure it. Soon, Boss Wang proposed to divorce Zhang Shumin under the prodding of Xiao San, on the grounds that she gave birth to a daughter, not a son, and could not inherit the Wang family.
Zhang Shumin was reluctant to leave, so Boss Wang beat and scolded her, and she couldn't live this life. In the end, the two left, and Zhang Shulan let her daughter take her surname in a fit of anger, and later did not remarry.
Zhang Shulan knew these things very well, so when she got married, she didn't find any rich people, but married Zhong Jianguo, an ordinary worker. didn't expect Zhang Shumin to suffer such a big loss and not have a long memory, and let her daughter find such an impolite rich second generation, so it's no wonder that Zhang Shulan frowned.
Zhong Huan saw that his mother's face was not very good-looking, so he stepped forward to greet him: "Auntie, Sister Miao Miao, I haven't seen you for a long time." "Don't look at Zhang Shumin, who is younger than Zhang Shulan, but she got married early, so Zhang Miao is two years older than Zhong Huan.
"Xiao Huan, I haven't seen you in a year! It's all on a BMW. Where did you get the money? Zhang Shumin was also embarrassed to see Yu Gongce's cold attitude, and when she saw Zhong Huan coming over to talk, she just found a step down.
"My classmates and I started two companies in partnership. Now my parents are working for me. Zhong Huan said with a smile.
"Second aunt, second aunt, is what Xiao Huan said true?" Zhang Miao asked on the side.
"He's not really bragging, now we're all his employees, he's our boss. You said that this matter is making trouble, and Lao Tzu still has to listen to his son. Zhong Jianguo complained, but his face was full of smiles, his son was promising, and he was naturally happy to be a father.
Zhang Shumin saw Zhong Jianguo with a smile on her face, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Originally, she brought Yu Gongce to the family party today, just to show off her daughter's rich boyfriend and make the family envious. didn't expect Zhong Huan to be more promising, he started his own company as the boss, and suddenly stole the limelight and became the focus, of course Zhang Shumin was not very happy.
"I didn't show it in the car just now, but it was quite cold outside this time. Let's stop standing here and talk, let's go in and talk. Zhang Shumin interrupted her daughter who was about to chat with Zhong Huan.
Everyone really felt a little cold when they heard Zhang Shumin say, so they walked into the restaurant together. Zhang Chongwen's family all work in their own restaurant, Zhang Chongwen is the boss, his wife Yuan Fen is in charge of the accounts, his son Zhang Wei is the cook, and his daughter-in-law Liu Dan is the waiter. However, the staff in this restaurant is not only their family of four, but also employs a lot of people.
As soon as Zhang Shulan and Zhang Shumin entered the door, they saw Yuan Fen and Liu Dan chatting behind the counter. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard someone entering the house, they also looked at the door in unison.
"Yo~ Why did your two families get there together?" Yuan Fen asked in surprise when she saw everyone.
"We met at the door. Happy New Year, sister-in-law! ”
Zhang Shumin is a bit snobbish, because her eldest brother is richer, so she usually gets closer to Zhang Chongwen's family and is also very familiar with Yuan Fen.
"Happy New Year! Happy Chinese New Year! I'm waiting to meet you. Chongwen and they are in the box, let's go over together. ”
After Yuan Fen finished speaking, he gave two more instructions to the other waiters in the restaurant, and led everyone into the box. As soon as Zhong Huan entered the box, he saw his uncle Zhang Chongwen and his eldest cousin Zhang Wei coaxing a little boy with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain. These three or four-year-old children are Zhang Wei's son Zhang Hao.
"Chongwen, Shulan and Shumin have all arrived." Yuan Fen said after entering the door.
"Big brother, have a good New Year." Zhang Shulan and Zhang Shumin greeted at the same time.
"Mom! Grandmother! As soon as Zhang Hao saw Yuan Fen and Liu Dan entering the house, he left his grandfather and father and ran over, screaming milkily as he ran. (To be continued.) )
