Chapter 168: Adopted Son
Zhang Feng returned to the medical hall, and Yuan Muhua's medical case had already been sorted out.
After Zhang Feng put the medicine box away, he took out the oiled paper bag, smelled the fragrant taro cake, and suddenly felt that the liquid in his mouth was all over the place. But he won't enjoy the good things for himself, so he took the oil paper bag to Yuan Muhua, and smiled like a treasure: "Master, eat cakes." ”
Yuan Muhua glanced at it and asked, "Did Song Niangzi do it?" ”
Zhang Feng nodded. Yuan Muhua took one to eat. I took a bite of it, and it was soft and sweet. She is the only one who has the skill to turn seemingly ordinary food into a delicacy, as if she had cast some kind of magic, which is amazing.
Yuan Muhua tasted the sweetness of the cake carefully, and felt that the taste was already sweet to his heart. He took it seriously, and when he looked back, Zhang Feng also ate with a happy face.
"Delicious, right?"
Zhang Feng nodded.
Yuan Muhua said with a smile: "The things she makes are delicious." ”
Zhang Feng wiped his mouth, there were still three cakes left in the oiled paper bag, he picked up one, and gave the remaining two to Yuan Muhua.
"You gave it to me, why don't you bring it back to your parents?"
"She said if I felt good, I would do it again." Zhang Feng talked a lot in front of Yuan Muhua. He ate the bread a few times, found a handkerchief and wiped his hands.
Yuan Muhua is now with his apprentice, he thinks that Yunzhu's cooking skills are good, and he wants to eat the dishes she cooks in his dreams, but now he doesn't dare to ask her for it casually like before, he knows that some should be scrupulous. I'm afraid of causing trouble to Yunzhu.
"Master, when are you going to find me a teacher?"
"You kid, you still call you stupid. I can't speak. This will let you take care of your master. As he spoke, he invited Zhang Feng to eat a chestnut.
Zhang Feng smiled and didn't hide. The smile was still as pure as a child, and he grinned and said, "With Master Niang, Master will have someone to help with laundry and cooking." ”
Yuan Muhua is not in the mood to think about this now. Seeing that the sky was a little dizzy, he asked Zhang Feng to pack his things and go back.
Zhang Feng himself didn't have anything to pack, he hadn't gone back for a few days, and although he didn't have much affection for that home, he was his adoptive parents after all. Gotta go back and see.
Zhang Feng said goodbye to Yuan Muhua and hurried slowly in the direction of home.
When he walked to the bridge, he saw his father standing in the middle of the bridge with the black dog, and the black dog bowed his head. His dad whispered something in the black dog's ear. From time to time, his father also looked to see if anyone was passing by.
That look Zhang Feng felt a little weird, but he couldn't say anything wrong.
Zhang Feng hesitated a little and walked over quickly, and when Village Chief Zhang saw that his son was back, he gently patted the black dog on the shoulder. The black dog left on his own.
"Are you going home today?"
Zhang Feng nodded.
"Done. You go back first, and I'll go to the yellow butcher and ask if there's any meat for sale." Village Chief Zhang thought that his son would rarely come back, and he should give him a good improvement in his life.
Zhang Feng hurried home without making a sound.
His mother was sewing clothes in front of the door, picking up a thin needle in her left hand and threading in her right hand, squinting her eyes, and threading needles in the light. It's just that it's not early at this time, and I haven't worn it for a long time.
Zhang Feng squatted down beside his mother. Stretched out his hand and said, "Oh, I'll come." ”
His mother smiled and handed the needle and thread to her son's hand. Zhang Feng twisted the thread. I found the nose of the needle and put it in two clicks. He handed it to his mother again.
He said happily: "It's still your eyes, I'm old and useless." ”
Zhang Feng didn't say anything, and returned to the house without saying anything, sitting on the chair he was sitting on in a daze.
His mother didn't continue to sew clothes, cleaned up, got up and patted the dust on her pants, put the needle and thread away, rolled up her sleeves and planned to make food for Zhang Feng.
After a while, Village Chief Zhang came back, carrying a hanging of fat sausages in his hand, and the smell was still a little big.
"How do you buy this, it's dirty and smelly, and it smells no matter how you wash it."
When Village Chief Zhang saw his daughter-in-law complaining, he had to say: "This was given by the Huangtu butcher for free, and I don't need money." The meat is all sold out today. "Village Chief Zhang still feels that he has chosen a bargain, but he doesn't know that his mother-in-law still has so much.
He threw the fat intestine to his daughter-in-law and left it alone. Here I entered Zhang Feng's house and talked to my son.
"How is your master treating you?"
Zhang Feng didn't squeak, and Village Chief Zhang sighed slightly in his heart, he was still a fool, but he was afraid that Dr. Yuan would not have the ability to heal his son. However, Dr. Yuan is not bad, he was able to teach his son to study medicine, which made him see a glimmer of hope again.
Village Chief Zhang saw that his son was still stupid and stupid, and he didn't talk to him, and he had become accustomed to it over the years. After sitting for a while, he got up and said, "You can rest." ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law looked at the pile of fat intestines and was worried, no matter how she said it, it was a meat dish, and it was a pity to lose it, so she had to find a way to tinker for a while and cook it casually.
I simply made three dishes, and after the three dishes were served, I called Zhang Feng over to eat.
Zhang Feng didn't even stretch out his chopsticks, two bowls of rice with corn ballast and wheat kernels, and sent down his stomach with a plate of fried vegetables.
"Oh, why don't you eat vegetables and some meat." His mother took the initiative to sandwich the stewed fat sausage for her son, but Zhang Feng had no appetite just by smelling the taste, he didn't eat a bite, and the dishes he brought were still in the bowl.
Seeing that their son didn't move his chopsticks, the couple had no choice.
After Zhang Feng ate, he went to boil water to freshen up.
The village chief's daughter-in-law made a mess, and the two of them sat and talked here.
"I said that it was time to tell Feng'er about his daughter-in-law, he is not young anymore, and now he is much better than before to learn some skills from Dr. Yuan." The village chief's daughter-in-law chattered.
"Hearing you say that, what about the person you like in your heart?"
The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled: "I look good at all these girls in the village who are not married. ”
"Then you can't marry them all."
"Of course, but that little Jiao of my Li family is not bad, so I just thought about it. You said you wanted to ask Jinhua if you wanted to. ”
Village Chief Zhang knew in his heart that although he was now the village chief of Huaishu Village. The family has a few acres of thin land, but they are not rich, and their daughters are married. The only son was also picked up, and he was a little stupid, and everyone in the village knew it. The reason why Zhang Feng has no object now is because other girls dislike him. Then the Li family can see the peak?
Village Chief Zhang hung his head, thought for a long time and said, "That's okay, you find Jinhua tomorrow to go to Li's house to ask." ”
When the village chief's daughter-in-law saw that her husband did not object, she smiled and agreed.
Village Chief Zhang glanced at his mother-in-law. said, "Sleep." ”
After the couple lay down, they slept back to back.
In the distance, a dog barked. After a few screams, it was quiet again, and then the wind picked up, and it wasn't long before the rain came down. There was a rustle of the leaves. I don't know how long later. Whose baby cried, the voice was so loud that it couldn't stop crying, and the sound of rain made people a little irritable.
Village Chief Zhang has not closed his eyes, there is something in his heart, and he can't sleep. It didn't take long for the daughter-in-law to snore.
The rain didn't last long before it stopped in the middle of the night, and the baby had already fallen asleep in the warm arms of his mother. Village Chief Zhang fell asleep in a daze.
The fog is confused. Village Chief Zhang couldn't see the road under his feet clearly, and always felt that someone was chasing him with an ax behind him. Said to kill him. He was in a hurry and ran for his life, but the dense fog in front of him ran out, someone reached out and pushed him behind his back, and as soon as he stepped on the air, he felt that his whole body fell down.
The fog in front of him was gone, and he fell to the bottom of the valley, where there were some white bones scattered everywhere, and a bloody head, and Village Chief Zhang screamed.
It didn't matter what he screamed, and woke up the daughter-in-law beside him.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
Village Chief Zhang felt his chest thumping, as if it had reached his throat.
"I had such a terrible dream." Village Chief Zhang told his mother-in-law the scene in the dream.
The village chief's daughter-in-law was also scared when she heard this, and said in fear: "I said that I can't do that, and you can't sleep well." What if there is any retribution in the future? ”
"Retribution? If there is really retribution in this world, why are the bad guys still so arrogant? "Village Chief Zhang never believed in this.
The village chief's daughter-in-law has no bottom in her heart, where is there no lack of heart in this bad thing, and said with palpitations: "If you are not feeling well, let Feng'er come in and show you, right?" ”
Village Chief Zhang said, "It's okay. Go to sleep. He rarely came back and let him get a good night's sleep. ”
There was nothing else to say that night.
After breakfast on the second day, Village Chief Zhang was busy with business, and Zhang Feng went back to the hospital. The village chief's daughter-in-law was worried about the Li family, so she couldn't sit still anymore.
She took the soles of her shoes, walked while taking them, and staggered to Jinhua's house.
Jinhua was feeding the chickens in the yard, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Yo, it's the village chief's wife who is here, please come in." ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled: "What madam, don't make people panic." ”
Jin Hua joked: "What a shame, you can afford it in this village." Others don't deserve it. ”
The two women laughed, and the village chief's daughter-in-law told her intention again, Jinhua was a little embarrassed, thinking that the Li family was the most arrogant, afraid that she would not look down on Zhang Feng, but it was not good to refute the face of the village chief's daughter-in-law, so she had to agree: "This is a good thing, I'll ask you when I go back." Your brother Feng is a talent. ”
In addition to being passable, Zhang Feng can't get any other strengths.
"His appearance is secondary, in previous years, he was not very open, in fact, this kid has a number in his heart, and now he is studying medicine with Dr. Yuan, maybe he will be out of school in a year and a half, isn't this an extra skill. At least it's okay to raise a family, right? ”
Jin Hua smiled: "This is also true. ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law entrusted Jinhua to be a matchmaker. She felt that Li Xiaojiao was good, and the girl's appearance was also smooth, and she was blessed at first glance. Although the Li family is a little more ambitious, the Li family is not rich, and the Li family has several daughters, and it is difficult to just make a dowry. If the Li family is willing to agree, the Zhang family can negotiate the dowry or something.
Jinhua went to Li's house to be a matchmaker, and Ma and Jinhua also had a certain friendship, and when they saw her coming, they greeted her very happily.
After Jinhua sat down, she talked nonsense with Ma Shi one sentence at a time.
Ma Shi smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it, the two of us are not others." ”
Jin Hua was weak in her heart, and she said her intention in a hurry. Ma's face collapsed at that time, if other matchmakers came to mention this family, she could directly blow people away, but it was Jinhua who came, and she couldn't beat people out, but she turned her face on the spot.
"Jinhua, you are also humiliating our Li family, right? No matter how poor our Li family is, no matter how unproductive our daughter is, she will not marry a fool! ”
Jin Hua's face was red and white for a while, and she hurriedly explained: "If that Zhang Feng is really a fool, is Doctor Yuan willing to accept him as an apprentice?" I also heard Dr. Yuan praise him, saying that he is talented. How can it be a fool? ”
Ma immediately retorted: "Then give your daughters to their Zhang family, are you willing?" ”
Jin Hua was stunned for a moment before saying, "Our family doesn't have a suitable one." ”
Ma Shi said with a cold face: "You go." ”
Jin Hua had already expected this result, and she said goodbye to Ma with a somewhat disgraced face. turned around and went to Zhang's house and told the village chief's daughter-in-law about this. When the village chief's daughter-in-law heard this, her face turned green.
She pulled down her face and told Jin Hua through, thinking that Jin Hua didn't say good things for their Zhang family. He also said that Jinhua and Ma were breathless from their nostrils and were unwilling to help the Zhang family.
Jinhua is not a person inside and out, and she also holds back her resentment in her heart.
The village chief's daughter-in-law really fell in love with Li Xiaojiao, Jinhua couldn't be this matchmaker, she planned to ask others for help. But who to invite became a question. Turning around, she discussed it with Village Chief Zhang.
Village Chief Zhang said: "Since the Li family has refused, I am afraid that it will not be possible to change people." If it makes a big fuss, people will say that we are forced to marry. ”
"What about forced marriage? If you can have the means to marry her, that's the ability, and you have the ability! ”
Village Chief Zhang thinks that his daughter-in-law is stunned, although he is a village chief, he still wants to rise, and he can go to the county in the future, and he is afraid of making trouble.
"Okay, if the Li family doesn't agree, forget it. We might as well save some money and go somewhere else to buy a daughter-in-law for Feng'er in the future. You have to have a look, and you have to have a figure. is far away, and has no contact with the in-laws, and there are few enemies. ”
As soon as Village Chief Zhang said this, his daughter-in-law was silent, and her mind was a little shaken.
When it came to money, Village Chief Zhang was so angry that he had a toothache, and he flew away when he saw the duck in his hand. He always had to make the Feng family suffer a little, and now that he was lying on the bed safely and couldn't get off the ground, he felt a little happier in his heart.
"It would be great if we could really make a fortune from the Feng family's land."
"It's all Ping'an, that person is not kind, and he deserves to suffer a little." Village Chief Zhang gritted his teeth.
Village Chief Zhang's voice fell, and he felt that there was someone standing in front of him. He glanced up and saw that it was Zhang Feng in front of him.
Zhang Feng looked confused, he didn't look very smart, and asked blankly for a while: "Dad, did you hurt Ping'an's foot?" ”
Village Chief Zhang was immediately so angry that he jumped to his feet and opened his mouth to scold: "What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person?! (To be continued......)
