Chapter 705: The First Day of the New Year
After chatting a few words, Xiao Jing also got up to wash, and Zhang Chengyuan went downstairs first, ready to go to the kitchen to give his father a hand.
When he reached the corner of the stairs, he faintly heard the two sisters talking, and the content was quite interesting, so he stopped and listened for a while.
"Sister, you really don't know how to be blessed in the blessings, I still wish to be my brother's woman, you are still desperately pushing out." It was clearly the voice of the little crystal.
"You're still a little hairy child, you don't know how to do things, you only want to do things on the good side, and don't think about the bad, that's why you think so. When you grow up, I'm afraid you won't be afraid to think like this anymore. Zheng Xiuyan said lightly.
Xiao Jing said: "I will think this way in another five, ten or even fifty years, I don't think like you, one-on-one marriage can be happy, although parents are like this, but many families are not, so the most important thing is to be happy, everything else is irrelevant." She must have been poisoned by Zhang Chengyuan to have this kind of thought.
Zheng Xiuyan shook her head and said, "It's not interesting to talk to you about this now, I'll wait a few years to discuss this with you." Anyway, my brother won't think anything about you until you're twenty years old. ”
Xiao Jing ignored her words and asked, "Sister, my brother once told me that it was you who took the initiative to get close to him first, so that he would like you, but why does it seem that you don't have any affection for him?" ”
"I took the initiative to get close to him? What nonsense are you talking about, how could I possibly do this? ”
Xiao Jing said: "I'm telling the truth, and I don't think my brother will lie to me, so you must have taken the initiative to show favor to my brother." That's why he'll like you. ”
Zheng Xiuyan frowned and said, "Impossible." Is my brother joking with you? Do you take it seriously? Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll wash my face quickly, I'll go down first. She believed Xiao Jingjing's words for no reason, which made her a little unacceptable, and she faintly felt a little pain in her head, so she didn't want to say any more.
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan stopped listening. walked downstairs quickly, and then went into the kitchen to help his father Zhang Donghu do things.
In fact, there is not much to do, Zhang Donghu has already prepared everything he should have prepared in the past few days - he is idle, and doing these things can pass the time and eliminate some loneliness.
After a while, Zheng Xiuyan and Xiao Jing also came down one after another, came to the kitchen to join in the fun, and also wanted to help, but they were stopped by Zhang Donghu and Zhang Chengyuan. They don't have the habit of Korean men who have to let women do housework, and they are worried that they will stain their clothes and have no clothes to change. I won't let them do it. However, although they were not allowed to do it, they were not allowed to go out, because with the presence of their two sisters, the atmosphere would obviously be much more lively.
It didn't take long for the first breakfast of the new year to be prepared, and then it was brought to the ancestral shrine to prepare to worship the ancestors. Although the two Zheng sisters are not from the Zhang family, whether it is the Zhang father and son, or themselves, they all feel that since they are present, they should worship the ancestors of the Zhang family, because they have long been like a family.
It's just that there are some doubts that they don't have a hanbok to change, so I wonder if this will be a mistake in etiquette? But the Zhang father and son didn't care at all, and Zhang Chengyuan whispered to the two sisters: "My Zhang family has always regarded itself as a descendant of China, although I am not Chinese, but I don't feel that I am of Sanhan Miao descent, so it doesn't matter if I wear Hanbok or not, my Zhang family ancestors probably don't care even more, wearing at this time is purely just a habit." Well, forget this after hearing it, don't spread it! ”
Zhang Donghu vaguely heard Zhang Chengyuan, but just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and didn't say anything.
After hearing this, the two Zheng sisters were a little surprised, but thinking about Zhang Chengyuan's usual good impression of China, they can understand, and at the same time, they are no longer worried about not wearing hanbok at this time. Then they knelt side by side behind Zhang Chengyuan and followed Zhang's father and son to worship.
Soon after, the worship was over and the meal began, starting with rice cake soup – a symbol of the sun's light, meaning to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Then there is nothing to pay attention to, at least at this time on the Zhang family's dining table, everyone can eat whatever they want, and they will clip it themselves. In addition, I have to say that Zhang Donghu's craftsmanship has grown a lot, which makes everyone eat very happily. And seeing that everyone was eating very well, Zhang Donghu was even more happy.
After eating, Zhang Donghu and Zhang Chengyuan took out the prepared New Year's money and handed it to the two sisters, Zhang Donghu didn't give much, just 100,000 won, after all, he didn't have much money, and he knew that his son Zhang Chengyuan had always been generous and would make up for his shortcomings.
And Zhang Chengyuan really didn't disappoint him, and even shocked him, and directly gave each of the two sisters a bank card - presumably the amount in it will never be a small amount, but this is not teaching bad children! Even if you hurt your sister, you can't hurt like this? However, when his son is older, he can't take care of it, so he won't say anything.
Zheng Xiuyan took the bank card with some hesitation, glanced at Zhang Chengyuan, although she wanted to refuse, but thinking of Zhang Chengyuan's character, she finally accepted it and thanked him. And Xiao Jing took it without hesitation, in her heart, as long as it is given by Zhang Chengyuan, it must be accepted and absolutely acceptable, as for how much is in the bank card, she doesn't care too much, anyway, she doesn't spend much money, and in the end she just saves it - all along, Zhang Chengyuan gave her money, she mostly exists, the more she saves, the more she feels that Zhang Chengyuan loves her, which makes her sometimes reluctant to take out the money and spend it.
In fact, there is not much on the bank card, only about 100,000 US dollars, which is just a drop in the bucket for Zhang Chengyuan, and now the two sisters are both popular singers, and the expenses are much larger than before, although their company can afford it first and deduct it from their income in the future, but as an elder brother, how can he not be embarrassed? As for why they don't give Korean won, but give dollars, it is because they may have to perform abroad this year, such as the Girls' Generation Asian tour, the S.M. family concert, etc., these dollars are to prepare for their overseas expenses in advance, maybe the dollars will be better used abroad.
After that, the two Zheng sisters said goodbye to Zhang Donghu and prepared to go home to reunite with their parents. They will also worship their ancestors. And Jang Sung-won escorted them home. By the way, I went to pay a New Year's greeting to Zheng's father and Zheng's mother.
After returning to the Zheng family, Zhang Chengyuan apologized to Zheng's father and Zheng's mother, saying that he had not been with the two sisters for a long time, so he insisted on keeping them, so as to delay the Zheng family's ancestor worship - he naturally couldn't say that Xiao Jing insisted on staying.
However, Zheng's father and Zheng's mother have always treated him like their own children, and they know that he must have suffered on behalf of the two sisters, so they don't mind. Just let the two sisters change into hanbok to make up for the late worship ceremony. And Zhang Chengyuan also went up to worship. When Zheng's father and mother saw it, they smiled, but they didn't say anything, but felt that he took it for granted.
After staying at Zheng's house for about an hour, Zhang Chengyuan said goodbye, and he still had to go to the Cheng family and other sisters' homes to pay New Year's greetings, so he couldn't stay longer. But before leaving, Xiao Jing stuck up again, saying that he was going to follow him to his sisters' house to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhang Chengyuan saw that Zheng's father and Zheng's mother did not object. So he took her with him, in fact, he also wanted to stay with Little Crystal more. And with the little crystal here, it can also be more popular to go to the sister's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Then this day was spent in the New Year's greetings, and he stayed in the family for the longest time, almost an hour and a half, but almost all of them were talking to Cheng's mother and others, and didn't say a few words to Cheng's father, because Cheng's father didn't pay much attention to him at all. This made Zhang Chengyuan, who originally wanted to take advantage of the New Year's joy and mention his marriage to Cheng Youli to his father, was very disappointed, and at the same time sighed that his father was cunning, thinking that his father must have thought of this, so he deliberately treated him coldly, you must know that usually Cheng's father can still talk to him.
As for the other sisters' houses, most of them just came to the door and sat for a while before leaving, first, because there were so many people to visit him, it was impossible to stay in each of them for too long; The second is that he must not appear too warm, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the sisters' family.
In fact, to this day, people have long suspected it, such as Lee Hyo-ri, Ok Joo-hyun, and Lee Zhen's parents have long felt that the reason why their daughter has not had a boyfriend over the years is mostly related to Jang Sung-won, at least because he is too good, so that the three daughters are not very interested in other men.
Another example is Kim Tae-hee's family, although Kim's father and mother didn't notice anything, but Kim Tae-hee's younger brother Li Wan had already noticed the deep affection between Kim Tae-hee and Jang Sung-won, and this kind of relationship is by no means as simple as sibling love. It's just that his sister repeatedly forbade him to "talk nonsense" to his family, so he didn't say anything for the time being. But now when I see Zhang Chengyuan occasionally, I don't give him a good face. In this regard, Jang Sung-won can't say or do anything, so he can only act as if he didn't see it, how can he be embarrassed to be angry with Kim Tae-hee's own brother? And also because of this kind of thing.
As for the family members of the other sisters, they are also a little suspicious, but there is no evidence, and Zhang Chengyuan has always been polite and polite to them, so it is inconvenient to say anything for the time being, but if one day in the future he knows the truth, I don't know what will happen? Therefore, if a man wants to be merciful like Zhang Chengyuan and unwilling to let go, then there are still many difficulties to solve.
Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan has some crooked methods, such as using the trick of fake marriage between the doppelganger Xiao Yuan and Han Caiying, although this trick cannot solve all the problems, but at least after this trick is used, Han Caiying's family has not made any trouble with him. So if one day, one of his sisters' family finds out the truth, then he will most likely use this trick to deceive him again.
After the New Year, Zhang Chengyuan returned to his apartment, and did not plan to go home to meet his father Zhang Donghu, during the year, he would live in his hometown on Chinese New Year's Eve, and occasionally when he went home to visit his father, he would live in an apartment almost the rest of the time, because it was more convenient for him to find / have fun outside, and even if he stayed at home, he had nothing to say to his father.
In addition, Xiao Jing followed him back to the apartment, but that night Zhang Chengyuan no longer hugged her to sleep, but let her sleep in the guest room. Of course, if she refuses, she can go home and sleep, or go to the dormitory to sleep, it's not far anyway. As for Zhang Chengyuan, he fell asleep with Lin Zhixiu in his arms to soothe her lonely heart a little - Lin Zhixiu no longer has any relatives, and most of them spend themselves alone during the New Year's holidays. But last night was okay, she followed Park Xuanying home for the New Year, which can be regarded as a comfort. He really wanted to bring her home for the New Year, but before Cheng Youli married her, it didn't seem very suitable, and his father would definitely not agree. (To be continued......)
