Zhang Yan and Renzhang returned to Zhang's house with large bags of gifts, except for Shiyu, Zhang Lu led a large family to stand at the gate to greet them, Zhang Yan put his arm around Zhang Lu and said kissingly, "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for three days, I almost miss you." Zhang Lu thought to himself, Zhang Yan really followed Daddy Liu to gain a lot of knowledge, even in front of his father and mother, he did not reveal the information that he had secretly met with Daddy Liu the day before yesterday, Zhang Jifu and Zhang Jishou warmly greeted Renzhang to drink tea in the hall, Zhang Yan followed Zhang Lu to his bedroom, Zhang Yan helped Zhang Lu onto the kang and sat on the edge of the kang by himself.

"Xiaoyan, I saw a lot of people running towards the Liu family's compound just now, what happened?"

"Grandpa, Liu Houzhang of the Liu family compound has died, I just learned about this news, and this letter was sent by my Shibao brother to my father-in-law."

"What? Liu Wenzheng's youngest son, Liu Houzhang, sacrificed? ”

"Yes, my father-in-law was also shocked when he heard the news, I can see that both my mother-in-law and my father-in-law are now very worried about Yizhang's safety, which makes me panic in my heart, I am really afraid that the second brother will make a mistake, in that case, the Liu family compound will really collapse half of the sky."

"Xiaoyan, you can still worry so much about the Liu family compound in your mother's house, grandpa is very pleased, this shows that you have regarded yourself as a person in the Liu family compound from the bones, I passed the wine game with Liu Daddy the day before yesterday, I can see that Daddy Liu trusts and pampers you infinitely, the successive generations of the Liu family compound are like this, once you are recognized, you have infinite trust in you, Liu Huayong and Liu Yanzu were the same to me back then, not to mention that you are now the daughter-in-law of Daddy Liu, in his heart you are the Liu family, It is the successor he personally selected, if it is said that Renzhang married you, it is better to say that Daddy Liu chose you, he is a cautious and sensitive man, and his observation and understanding of you is by no means a year or two years, so Daddy Liu's favor for you is expected by me, but what makes me even more pleased is that you can establish a close relationship with Daddy Liu so quickly, just like the relationship between Huilan and Daddy Liu, the two have long been integrated in spirit, one is prosperous and one is lost, for example, A few days ago, Shibao said Daddy Liu's cruel words at Wang Shouwu's house, and as soon as the words came out, it aroused Huilan's thunderous anger, and gave a merciless blow, there was no time to react at all, he instinctively stood on Daddy Liu's side, even if he was facing his own man, he had to swear to defend Daddy Liu, which is why Daddy Liu could love Huilan for decades. Xiaoyan, you have to treat Daddy Liu as a person as close to me from your heart, this is very important, I told you that as long as you and Daddy Liu have one heart in the Liu family compound, you are the real hostess of the Liu family compound, and it is very likely that you will even become the patriarch of the Liu family clan in Shuangliu Village, and then become the village chief of Shuangliu Village, that is a matter of course. ”

Zhang Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she said gently, "Grandpa, you are really like a god, my father-in-law has such expectations for me, and he also said that even if the country bans the patriarchal management in the future, if I have enough influence in the Liu clan, I can still be the village chief in Shuangliu Village, saying that it is the expectation of the public, in fact, my greatest wish is to be the mistress of the Liu family compound, and I am not interested in the village chief at all, the Liu family compound has a history of a hundred years, and the family has a long history, and there is a mysterious force to promote the emergence of this family, Grandpa, I never told you, in fact, I also secretly observed my father-in-law for a long time, but I didn't dare to approach him before, to be honest, my expectations for my father-in-law were much higher than for Renzhang, when I really walked into his inner world, I found that he was so different, full of economy but not pedantic at all, the world is practiced but not sophisticated at all, brave and fearless but can be good, so many years he has not had a personal enemy, this Houzhang's funeral, my father-in-law let the third uncle Liu Wengui be in charge, and at the same time arranged for me to be an assistant to the third uncle, It was intended to cultivate me, and as soon as I married into the Liu family compound, my father-in-law changed my name to Liu Zhangyan and wrote it into the family tree and family tree, and he loved me like his own daughter, without restraint. ”

"Xiaoyan, you must be clear at this moment, in Daddy Liu's heart, Houzhang's funeral is far greater than your marriage with Renzhang, he will not be as wasteful as your marriage with Renzhang, but it will be extraordinarily grand in form, this is just as you said, the family culture of the Liu family compound has a long history, the reason why this culture has a strong vitality is closely connected with the whole country and the nation, Houzhang's death is to defend the country and die, this significance is greater than the sky, don't look at Daddy Liu is concerned about the safety of Yizhang, but if Yizhang really sacrificed his life for the country, His Daddy Liu will also feel extremely proud, just like he jumped off the ice cave without hesitation to save people, this is the preciousness of the Liu family compound, and it is also what you said Daddy Liu is dedicated to goodness, how can such a person have a personal enemy? I have long said that Yizhang is the hope of the Liu family compound, he has completely inherited the mantle of Daddy Liu spiritually, and it is also the continuation of Daddy Liu's life, he now has a broad stage that Daddy Liu has never had, and he will become a legend. ”

Zhang Lu entered the Liu family compound at the age of seven or eight, and now he has been a year from his heart, more than half a century of years of tempering, practicing a pair of 'fiery eyes', reading countless people in his life, only optimistic about Liu Dad and Liu Yizhang's father and son, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Zhang Yan could get along with Liu Yizhang back then, but Zhang Yan couldn't enter Liu Yizhang's circle no matter how hard he tried, so he had to retreat and get along with Liu Renzhang.

"Grandpa, my father-in-law won't come to the banquet at noon, and Renzhang and I will go back to the Liu family compound after lunch. Grandpa, why haven't you seen Brother Shiyu all this time, doesn't he know that I went back to my parents' house today? ”

"He, he secretly went out of the house early in the morning with half a basket of eggs, and nine times out of ten he went to tease Wendou's daughter-in-law again, last time because he climbed the wall of Wendou's house in the middle of the night, he was kicked twice by Daddy Liu, this is a good scar and forget the pain."

"Grandpa, my Brother Shiyu is not lazy, although our family is not a big family, but it is more than enough than the upper and lower than the bottom, can't we give Brother Shiyu a daughter-in-law?"

"It's difficult, just his second-rate son, he is obedient and ugly everywhere, his reputation has long been ruined, your uncle has entrusted someone to protect the media, but as soon as the woman inquired in Shuangliu Village, there was no follow-up, and now even the matchmaker is hiding from our family, unless he buys a daughter-in-law from other places like Liu Zhongzhang."

"Grandpa, you have to let my uncle discipline Brother Shiyu well, Huilan's sister-in-law told me in private before, Brother Shiyu has been in the window of her room several times, eavesdropping on the sexual affairs between her and Brother Shibao, what's more, he secretly walked into his sister-in-law's bedroom one day, playing with his sister-in-law's underwear and underwear, and was caught by his sister-in-law, he knelt down to his sister-in-law and begged for mercy and slapped himself, so my sister-in-law didn't stab this matter to my father-in-law, you know, just by virtue of my father-in-law's love for Huilan's sister-in-law, If he knew that Brother Shiyu had done such a dirty thing, how could he spare him? Back then, Liu Zhongzhang was beaten by my father-in-law with a horsewhip in public just because he was bent on marrying Huilan, and his reputation was ruined, Brother Shiyu went on like this, sooner or later, he would be burned, Wendou's daughter-in-law was not a widow, and there were men who were paralyzed in the kang, my Shiyu brother went to tease her twice for three days, once he hooked up and became an adulterer, according to the Liu clan law, the lightest punishment was that the two of them would be paraded in the streets, and then expelled from Shuangliu Village, at that time, the Zhang family would be disgraced, and there would be no future in Shuangliu Village. Grandpa, your hard work for the Zhang family for so many years will be ruined! ”

Zhang Yan only cared about herself speaking righteously and strictly, but she didn't notice that her grandfather Zhang Lu's old face had long been unbearable, and she sat there with a red face and red ears and didn't say a word.
