Chapter 60: The General's Platoon Stands

After his mother Zhang Yuyan pushed the door of the Zhang family open, the scene in front of Xue Fan's eyes made him feel shocked, yes, anyone who sees the scene in front of him will be shocked.

I saw a group of people standing in the courtyard in several rows in the order of the oldest and youngest, all looking at the gate with their eyes in unison, what surprised Xue Fan especially was that the epaulettes of the three middle-aged people in the second row were all Venus, what kind of concept is this? It's all generals!

If you count Zhang Guowei next to him, that is to say, there are a total of five generals in the Zhang family, and it goes without saying that Mr. Zhang, vice chairman of the Military Commission, with the rank of general!

Standing in the first row in front are Mr. Zhang and his wife, the second row is the old man's son and daughter-in-law, and the third row should be the old man's grandchildren, all of whom are now standing straight in the courtyard, this scene makes Xue Fan a little timid, is this welcoming people or being reviewed?

Seeing such a scene, Xue Fan felt an invisible pressure, but there was also a kind of emotion in this pressure, yes, his grandfather definitely didn't want to tell his family how glorious the Zhang family was, how many generals there were in the family, he wanted to tell himself and his parents, you are also a member of the Zhang family!

This standard of welcome ceremony may only be able to come up with by his grandfather, or only in the Zhang family can have this high standard! Which country in Huaxia has five generals?

This scene lingered in Xue Fan's mind many years later, and every time he thought of it, he felt a kind of soul-inspired touch!

After glancing at it, Xue Fan fixed his eyes on his grandfather's body, only to see that his grandfather stood upright and straight at this time, like a towering tree, for many people, his grandfather is a big tree, and even more so for the Zhang family.

Xue Fan's first impression of his grandfather was that his face was very ordinary, without the majestic face he imagined, his hair was a little gray, and even his figure was not very tall, but these did not affect Xue Fan's admiration for his grandfather, yes, it was admiration from the heart!

This old man guarded Huaxia with his not tall body, and spent his whole life doing his best for the stability and prosperity of the motherland. After the establishment of the Huaxia Kingdom, he held an important position in the army to protect the peace of China! If Xue Fan comes to evaluate his grandfather, then it can be summed up in one word: a glorious life!

However, at this time, Mr. Zhang did not cry when he saw his daughter enter the door, but his body trembled faintly, the muscles on his face trembled continuously, and his eyes stared at his daughter with bright eyes.

But Mrs. Zhang didn't have such a performance as him, tears had already crawled all over her cheeks, but I don't know what the reason was, the old lady didn't move her body, and the sharp-eyed Xue Fan took a closer look and found that he didn't know when his grandfather held his grandmother's body.

Just when Zhang Yuyan was also standing at the door in a daze with tears, Zhang Guowei behind her whispered in her ear: "When I left home to pick you up at Su's house, the two elders stood like this with the whole family." ”

Suddenly, Xue Fan, who heard this, finally knew that his uncle was so eager in the Zhang family, it turned out that he really went with a task, this task may have been given to him by his grandfather, or it could be said that all the Zhang family gave it to him, and he carried the hopes and expectations of everyone in the Zhang family! Everyone in the Zhang family stood in this cold wind courtyard for more than an hour, this is the capital, the north of Huaxia, and the winter is so cold!

After listening to the words of the eldest brother, Zhang Yuyan hurriedly rushed to the front of her parents, without saying a word, she knelt down with a bang, and directly kowtowed on the ground three times like in the Su family, in front of her biological parents, the grace of childbirth is as great as the sky!

Zhang Yuyan, who had just raised her head, found a pair of hands that had already stretched out, and those hands were no longer as smooth as in her memory, they were all wrinkled, but Zhang Yuyan did not hesitate to put her hands up, because those hands belonged to her own mother, and they were the great mother who gave birth to herself after ten months of pregnancy!

"Mom, Niuniu is not filial, I'm late to come back!" Zhang Yuyan shouted with teary eyes

"Good, don't cry, just come back, just come back! ......" The old lady kept repeating with a trill, her hands clutching her daughter's hand tightly.

"Crying for what? The Zhang family does not have this tradition! It's never bloodshed without tears! Old man Zhang, who had been beside him, said, but his voice was not loud.

Xue Fan, who had been following his mother, suddenly weakened his legs at this time, and he kowtowed three times to learn from his mother's appearance, and stood up directly after kowtowing, without saying a word or calling anyone.

"What are you kowtowing?" Old Man Zhang asked

"I kowtow because the Zhang family gave birth to my mother, without her, there would be no me Xue Fan!" Xue Fan said calmly

Old Man Zhang smiled, smiled very happily, and said, "Good boy, you are better than everyone in the third generation of the Zhang family!" Just such an evaluation is different from the evaluation of Old Man Su at the beginning, but this sentence carries a lot of weight!

Xue Bing also came to the front of the Zhang family at this time, but he didn't look at others, he just stared at his father-in-law, staring straight, with a very complicated meaning in his eyes, the old man in front of him was not only his father-in-law, but also his nobleman, or his Bole..., in short, Xue Bing's feelings for the old man Zhang were very complicated, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in the complexity.

Anyone will be dissatisfied, and who wants to be controlled? Who wants to be used as a pawn? Or who wants to be controlled? Especially people in officialdom.

As if he understood the complexity and dissatisfaction in Xue Bing's eyes, Old Man Zhang did not give an answer on the spot, but just said domineeringly: "If you have doubts, hold them now, and if you are dissatisfied, I will give you an explanation." After speaking, he ignored Xue Bing, but looked directly at Xue Fan, as if he was more interested in Xue Fan.

"I've been watching you!" Old Man Zhang said to Xue Fan

Xue Fan was speechless, you don't have to be so direct, right? Of course, I know that you have been observing me, and you are not only observing me, but also paying attention to our family.

Seeing Xue Fan's speechless expression, Old Man Zhang continued: "Since you were about five years old, I have known you, and over the years, there is a cabinet full of information and photos about you in my study, more than your father's, for more than ten years, I know everything you have done outside, and you are basically mischievous!" ”

Old Man Zhang bluntly commented that Xue Fan's previous behavior was mischievous, which made Xue Dashao feel very embarrassed, how embarrassed Xue Fan, who had always been thin-skinned, to be evaluated by his elders like this!

"However, in the last month or so, I am very satisfied with the few things you have done, although some things are not perfect, but I am still satisfied!" Old Man Zhang continued

This turn of events made Xue Fan even more speechless, seeing that nothing he did in this way did not escape his grandfather's eyes, so he could only smile bitterly.

Finally, Old Man Zhang saw his grandson's wry smile and made him laugh out loud, today really made him happy, the reason is only understood by himself.

But this Zhang Yuyan's mother and daughter are crying, and the old man Zhang's big smile is really weird, and even said that it is incompatible with the atmosphere of the whole scene! The Zhang family is a little stupid, what is the old man doing?
