When Zhang Yan and Xinzhang entered the study, Daddy Liu was closing his eyes to recuperate, the kettle on the coal stove was steaming, Daddy Liu saw Zhang Yan coming in with a snowflake, and quickly hugged the letter from her back, Zhang Yan called Dad gently, Daddy Liu beat the snow on Zhang Yan's body with Zhizhang's coat, and reprimanded Xinzhang, "You bear child, don't stay on the kang in the heavy snow, what are you pestering your sister-in-law to run around?" Xinzhang looked at Zhang Yan aggrievedly, Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Dad, you wronged Xinzhang, I asked him to accompany me to see you, I am worried that you drank so much wine at noon, and you are not at ease in the study alone." Father Liu smiled and said calmly, "Xiaoyan, my wine has long woken up, it's really hard for you today, if Yizhang is at home, there is nothing to do today, he and I should be fine to join forces to play a circle." ”

"Dad, my second brother can drink so much?"

"Yes, the alcohol brewed in our township is not high, and Yizhang has nothing to do with drinking four or five catties alone."

"People in the village say that you are massive, but I didn't expect my second brother to be able to drink like this, Renzhang is really different from the two of you, and he was drunk and unconscious after drinking so much wine."

"Xiaoyan, don't stand, sit down and talk, Renzhang has already played at a super level today, he has never drunk so much wine." Zhang Yan picked up the kettle on the coal stove and poured water into the kettle, and refilled Daddy Liu's teacup with some water.

"Xiaoyan, there is tea on the table, you can also make yourself a cup, drinking tea on a snowy day has a different flavor."

Xinzhang had already run to the yard to play in the snow at this time, and Zhang Yan shouted, "Xinzhang, go to the house to play, it's too cold outside, be careful of catching a cold." Xinzhang shook his hand and gestured a few more times, Zhang Yan didn't understand what Xinzhang meant, so he asked Daddy Liu with a smile, "Dad, what does Xinzhang say?" Daddy Liu smiled and said, "Xinzhang, this kid, doesn't like to listen to me, children like to play in the snow, so let him play outside." Father Liu suddenly remembered the reply letter to Liu Wenhua, he picked up the letter from the desk and shouted to Xinzhang, "Xinzhang, you come in, Dad has given you a task." ”

As soon as Xinzhang heard that there was a task, he ran into the house excitedly, and looked at Daddy Liu with a pair of big eyes, Daddy Liu handed the letter to Xinzhang and instructed, "Xinzhang, your task is to personally hand over this letter to your Uncle Liu Wenhua, don't come to the study after the task is completed, go home directly to Zhizhang and them to play, Dad and your sister-in-law are going to talk about business in the study." Xinzhang took the letter, saluted Daddy Liu like a soldier, turned around and ran out, Zhang Yan hurriedly chased out and shouted, "Xinzhang, don't run, the road is slippery, just walk slowly!" ”

There are only Daddy Liu and Zhang Yan left in the study, Zhang Yan and Renzhang once came to the study, the collection of books here fascinated her, grandpa Zhang Lu has been a scholar of Lord Liu Huayong for many years in the courtyard of the Liu family, and he must be very familiar with this study and have feelings, but he didn't expect that his granddaughter would sit here as the daughter-in-law of the Liu family a few decades later, and taste tea and enjoy the snow with the most powerful patriarch of Shuangliu Village, Zhang Yan has admired Daddy Liu for a long time, and thought that as long as he can get the favor of the man in front of him, he will definitely become the hostess here, And the woman's natural sensitivity tells herself that Daddy Liu has been silently concerned about himself in recent years, and today's grand wedding is enough to show that his position in Daddy Liu's heart is extraordinary, and he is very likely to become the hostess of this century-old mansion, which in the past, Zhang Yan didn't even dare to think about it, he was full of awe and admiration for Daddy Liu since he was a child, and his grandfather had not interacted with him since he could remember, but he never said a word about this man, on the contrary, his grandfather was full of respect for Daddy Liu, in the war years, He led hundreds of people to run by sea, back and forth to Penglai, Yantai, Lushun, Tianjin and other places, the Liujia compound does not have the scenery of the Liujia compound on the surface, but the Liujia compound is thick and prosperous and the prosperity of the people are incomparable to the Liuzhai, Shuangliu Village is one of the few ancient villages in the Jiaodong area that implements the patriarchal management, there is a magnificent Liu's ancestral hall in the village, the Liujia compound also has its own family temple, the ancestors have never been out of the imperial court is absolutely not allowed to build a family temple privately, the Liujia courtyard has a long history of family learning, the cultural gene is particularly strong, and talents can come out in large numbers, the roots are deep and leafy, and the surname Zhang and Wang are vassals in Shuangliu Village, just like today's wedding banquet, Wang Shouwugui is the village secretary, or Liu's father's brother-in-law, still can't get on the VIP table, like Liu Wenxi, this kind of small person who relies on fortune-telling to beg for food in the eyes of outsiders has become a guest, and Liu Shangzhang......

"Xiaoyan, what do you want?" Seeing Zhang Yan staring at him intently, Daddy Liu knew that she must have something on her mind.

Hearing Daddy Liu's question, Zhang Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she was embarrassed by her gaffe. However, Zhang Yan reacted quickly, she smiled and said playfully, "Dad, I have never had a chance to see your appearance before, but now if you take a closer look, you look like my second brother, and Renzhang looks more like my mother." ”

Daddy Liu laughed when he heard this, "I said Xiaoyan, how can you say that Lao Tzu looks like a son?!" ”

Zhang Yan also laughed and said gently, "Dad, I always feel that you are both kind and mysterious, I can't believe that I can talk to you like this, it's a bit like a dream, so I always wander unconsciously!" ”

"Xiaoyan, when it comes to looking alike, you look like a person."

"Dad, is it like my aunt? They all say so. ”

"Yes, you are a bit like Sanyan, but you are more like Liu Muyan of my uncle's family, you may not remember her appearance, she has been away from home for ten years."

"Dad, I remember Aunt Muyan, when she didn't leave Shuangliu Village, she stayed with Brother Shibao every day, everyone in the village knew that they were there, I was eight or nine years old at that time, if she didn't leave Huangxian to work in other places, she would definitely marry Brother Shibao."

"Yes, her participation in the revolution was also taken out by Shibao. By the way, tomorrow you and Renzhang should remember to visit your uncle's house, she has been fasting and reciting Buddha all these years and does not ask about the world, but the younger generation cannot be rude. ”

"Okay, Dad, I'll go to see my uncle with Renzhang after breakfast tomorrow."

"Xiaoyan, in the future, I will hand over the housework of the Liu family compound to you to deal with, your mother and several younger siblings are very dependent on you, in addition, I will slowly delegate some of the clan affairs of the Liu family to you, now liberated, this traditional patriarchal management will slowly be banned by the government, but even if the patriarch is banned, the hearts of the people surnamed Liu must be brought together, the surname Liu is a family in the world, not to mention that the surname Liu of Shuangliu Village is in the same lineage, if you can govern our Liu clan, it is a matter of course to be the head of Shuangliu Village."

"Dad, how can I, a female streamer, bear the burden of managing the family and governing the clan?"

"Female? No, you're a heroine! In fact, I have been paying attention to and observing you from the beginning of the years that you have been good with Renzhang, and your appearance, ability and courage are all in line with me, but now you lack experience. Xiaoyan, listen well, I originally planned to talk to you after you and Renzhang spent their honeymoon, but now God arranged for us to sit together, so I will tell you directly, anyway, sooner or later, I will talk to you about it sooner or later, I will first talk about Renzhang's future work, he stayed at home a year ago, and the main task is to ......"

Daddy Liu took a sip of tea, a little embarrassed.

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Dad, I understand what you mean, isn't it that you and your mother want to hug your grandson early!" ”

"Xiaoyan, you are so smart, that's what Dad means, you and Renzhang are not too young, it's time to have children."

"Dad, it's not that I'm smart, it's that you're too restrained, since I've been observing me for a long time, I must know my mind, and I know a little bit about it, let's be alone together in the future, you don't have to be restrained when you speak, just say what you think, say what you want, Dad, I've admired you since I was a child, worship you, in my heart you are a man who stands up to the sky, plus my grandfather has been talking about you in front of my eyes all these years, you know, I am closest to my grandfather, I believe what he says, he told me a lot of stories when you were a child, Over the years, I have often followed Aunt Huilan to the Liu family compound to play, every time I see you, I want to take a few more looks, I feel that you exist like a god, when I witness you desperately jump into the ice cave to save Uncle Wen Xi, I found that you are not a god, but a hot-blooded man with flesh and blood, how many of those young descendants in the village can do what you do?! I admire you even more, and I think how happy I should be to serve you for your daughter-in-law for the rest of my life! In the following days, I felt like falling into a honey pot, I found that you care about me very much, love me very much, there is an indescribable sense of closeness and belonging, anyway, I feel that you love me more than my grandfather, every time you call me Xiaoyan, my heart is very warm, if I had known that you love me so much......" said, Zhang Yan couldn't help but shed tears.

Daddy Liu didn't expect Zhang Yan to be so excited, which made him at a loss.

"Xiaoyan, don't cry, I still have something to talk to you about."

Seeing Daddy Liu's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Yan not only sneered but also laughed, thinking that her father-in-law and grandfather were different, if Grandpa saw him crying, he would have taken himself into his arms and comforted him.

Zhang Yan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Dad, I understand now, you held this grand wedding in order to cultivate me, you doted on me so much, I was really flattered, so I cried excitedly." After speaking, Zhang Yan stood up and refilled Daddy Liu's teacup with some water.

Daddy Liu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Xiaoyan, I went on to talk about the arrangement of Renzhang, he was like this a year ago, accompany you more at home, and go to work in the Huang County Maritime Safety Bureau after the year, I have entrusted someone to arrange the personnel files, Jiang Mao, the director of the Maritime Safety Bureau, is my brother, he is currently studying at Dalian Maritime School, and he will be able to return to Huang County after the year." What about you, follow me more years ago to familiarize yourself with housework, manage the Liu family compound first, and I will discuss with you about the big and small things in the courtyard in the future, the family is full of mouths, and we will talk about things in this study in the future, usually except for your Aunt Huilan who comes here every day, no one else comes, I will give you a key to the study, come and read more books when you have leisure, if you want to take over my class, you must have real talent and real learning, this is the family motto, the Liu family compound has been half ploughing and half reading for hundreds of years, the family tree and family rules and regulations study have it, you must memorize it by heart, And put it into action. There is no problem with the family's financial situation at present, this time you and Renzhang have a lot of money to marry, you are right, I made such a big show to build momentum for you, so that everyone in Shuangliu Village and the Liu family compound knows that I am very fond of you, I married you Liu Zhangyan into the Liu family compound is to let you be the mistress of this compound, and in the future I will train you to be the village chief of Shuangliu Village, Renzhang can't support this family, let alone manage Shuangliu Village, the situation of the Liu family compound is that the family is not separated, The thirty-eight main houses in the compound and all the partial houses are at your disposal, including the house where your uncle Liu Chengzu lives is not his own, all the houses are an inseparable whole, who is in charge of the house belongs to who controls and manages, this is the family rule, no matter who violates the family rules, you have the right to dispose of it, of course, as a big boss, first of all, you must be fair and just in doing things, to make everyone happy and convinced, and you need to be hard to strike iron! You go through a period of training with me first, with your ability and understanding, in less than two or three years, I will convene a meeting of all the clansmen of Shuangliu Village, pass on the position of the patriarch to you, you will become the first female patriarch in the history of the Liu clan of Shuangliu Village, and naturally you will also become the first female village chief in the history of Shuangliu Village, I have already written your name into the family tree and family tree! ”

Zhang Yan listened to Daddy Liu's teachings, the surface was as quiet as water, the heart was already turbulent, it felt like a dream, Daddy Liu's words made his dream come true, he was like a relative who grew up with him, and like a bosom friend who had known him for many years, she didn't know how to express the grace of this complex acquaintance with Daddy Liu, the fire in the study was getting hotter and hotter, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, she couldn't be reserved, got up and took off her red silk jacket, and put it on the bed in the study. Stacked with Daddy Liu's leather jacket, the upper body only wore a soft pink sweater, the white and slender neck was exposed, and the tall and straight nipple room was about to come out, Daddy Liu looked at Zhang Yan who was as beautiful as a flower, pear blossoms with rain for a while, and bright as peach blossoms for a while, I couldn't help but think of Sanyan, Sanyan was like this to herself when she was young, all the women of the Zhang family were born beautiful and charming, Zhang Yan turned around from the side of the bed and found that Daddy Liu was staring intently at his body, and he was happy in his heart. She came to Daddy Liu's side and knelt down, and was about to kowtow to Daddy Liu, Daddy Liu said in surprise, "Xiaoyan, I can't help it." Hurriedly bent down and put his hands on each other, Zhang Yan took the opportunity to throw herself into Daddy Liu's arms, hugged Daddy Liu's waist with both hands and cried, and whispered, "Dad, you are so good to me, I don't know how to thank you, I will serve you well in this life and stay by your side forever!" ”

Daddy Liu was frightened, he wanted to push Zhang Yan away, but he had nowhere to start, the body fragrance on Zhang Yan's body hit his head directly, and his hot body was close to his chest, especially her plump breast room seemed to pop out, stirring Daddy Liu's nerves, and he couldn't hold it at all after a long time, so he had to say loudly, "Xiaoyan, listen, it seems that someone is coming outside!" As soon as Zhang Yan heard this, she immediately let go of Daddy Liu, and stopped crying, turned around and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and after a while, she didn't see anyone enter the study, she turned her head to look out of the window, there was nothing but white snowflakes, she realized that Daddy Liu deliberately deceived herself in order to get rid of her entanglement, she peeked at Daddy Liu, and found that Daddy Liu was sitting on the Taishi chair drinking tea and was not angry, so she said to Daddy Liu, "Dad, it's all because you were so good to me all of a sudden, which made me cry with joy and couldn't control my emotions!" Father Liu said calmly, "Xiaoyan, you can't be like your Aunt Huilan, you have been spoiled by me since you were a child, you know all day long that you revolve around me, and you never care about doing things, you have been a women's director for so many years, and you still haven't figured out how many women there are in the village, Shuangliu Village is the largest village in Liushui Township, and it is also the oldest ancient village in Huang County, the two ancient willows in the center of Liujie are hundreds of years old, and they are also the origin of the name of Shuangliu Village, you will know that it is difficult to be a good village chief in the future. ”

Zhang Yan said softly to Daddy Liu, "Dad, I know, I will never be coquettish in front of other men, you are not my father!" I know that you are cultivating me with your heart, and you also love me like you love Aunt Huilan, I am as close to you as I am to my grandfather, and I will not be like this to other men! Dad, it's snowing so hard outside, no one will come to the cave room at night, right? ”

Daddy Liu stood up and opened the door of the study, the heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, the snow on the ground had reached his ankles, he smiled and said to Zhang Yan, "Xiaoyan, your Uncle Wenxi is really a master, he counts the days accurately, he said ten days ago that this morning is the sun is shining, and the evening is snowflakes, such a big snow, who still comes to the cave room?" Besides, the young descendants of Shuangliu Village have all followed Yizhang to the Korean battlefield, and they can't make trouble if they want to! ”

"Dad, now the hole room is not what you think, it's all good friends who come to make a fuss, I heard Sister Simai say that the people in the hole room now are all singles and scoundrels and the like, and they use the hole room to play hooligans, which makes me still scared!"

"Don't listen to Sima's nonsense, there may be the kind of situation she said in other villages, it is impossible in Shuangliu Village, and it is even more impossible in our Liu family compound, people who don't even dare to enter the gate, what are they making trouble? You will know it when you look at the house rules in the future, and there is a family rule that unscrupulous people are forbidden to enter the hospital! ”

"Dad, how do I know this, Aidao is afraid that I will suffer, and he specially asked Shang Zhang to come over to help at night, even Xiao Xinzhang has always been around me, not to say that he wants to protect me, as if I am going to be robbed by bad people!" Father Liu laughed when he heard this, and said casually, "They don't dare to touch the women in my Liu family's compound even if they eat bear heart and leopard gall!" Zhang Yan looked at the arrogant Daddy Liu, and couldn't help but shake her heart, she hugged Daddy Liu's waist from behind, and said gently, "Dad, Renzhang was drunk at noon, I knew that I couldn't count on him at night, and I didn't even touch Renzhang......
