Chapter 70: Family
Fang Zhu has been separated from his wife and children for almost half a year, and has been separated from his parents for a year. The family wept with joy, and after a long time, there was laughter and laughter.
After the new relocation, the Zhang family, who lived next door to the Fang family, heard that Fang Zhu was back, and the family also rushed over.
After the Zheng family, who had the most status in the family, saw Fang Zhu, he took the lead in asking: "Xiuwen, I heard that the Ren family said that you were with Mingde, and now that you are back, why hasn't Mingde come back?" ”
"Brother, where is my husband?" Fang Wan hugged her son Zhang Si and hurriedly asked.
The family's opinion shook and there was no room for speech. Fang Chong patted his old friend's shoulder sympathetically to show sympathy.
Fang Zhu said: "Mingde is still building a city pass in Linyu, and it is estimated that it will take at least three months for him to finish his work." I also had official business, and I came back to see it when I passed by Fang County. After Chinese New Year's Eve, I will go to Xuanwu County again. ”
Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he knew that his son was safe, he had waited for the whole year, not three months.
Fang Wan muttered in a low voice: "I see that he has found a new love, and he has long forgotten about this home." When he comes back, I guess he won't even recognize our mother and son. ”
The woman's intuition was so accurate, Fang Zhu felt a chill on his back. He coughed, and the other party said, "Uh-huh, little sister, come here, I have something to tell you." ”
Fang Wan put Zhang Si on the ground: "Si'er, you go over to play with Cousin Jing." ”
Now Xiao Zhang Si can already walk, and he can say some simple words, children grow up fast, and they change a lot every year.
The two walked aside, and Fang Wan said, "Brother, now you can tell what is going on." ”
"It's about Matilda." Fang Zhu said a little unnaturally: "I said that you can't be angry." ”
As soon as she heard that it was about her husband, Fang Wan came to her senses: "Say it quickly, what can I be angry about." ”
"Mingde is in Linyu, and he has a new wife."
There was no imaginary storm, Fang Wan seemed unusually calm: "Oh, yes, the husband is now a nobleman, and it is normal to have an extra wife and a few concubines." I have nothing to be angry about. ”
Fang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good not to be angry, hehe, it's good not to be angry." Brother just wants to talk to you in advance, so that you can be mentally prepared. That woman, Mingde can't marry her. ”
He suddenly saw Fang Wan's somewhat reddened eyes, and thought: Where is this not angry, Mingde, you ask for more blessings, I can't help you.
……
In a few days, it will be the last day of the first year of Zhongping, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhang Hao, who has been running around all year round, thought that he had to rush back to spend it with his family no matter what, and by the way, he introduced Mi Zhen to his family.
No matter how much Zhang Hao avoids it, this day will always come, and he can't keep Mi Zhen outside, which is too unusual.
In advance, he gave a red envelope of five dollars to all the people and soldiers on the construction site, and Zhang Hao took a boat to Fang County. After going ashore, he quickly stepped up and finally returned to Zhangfu in Fang County on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Cousin, don't worry about me when you get here, you can go find Xiaorou." Zhang Hao said
"Hey, brother, then I'm leaving." Zheng Meng ran in first.
Zhang Hao sighed, a little nervous, he didn't know what kind of reaction Fang Wan would have.
He stood for a few moments, not moving a single step. Until a small hand grabbed Zhang Hao's somewhat trembling hand, he looked back and saw that the little face was full of worry.
The man's sense of responsibility burst instantly, and Zhang Hao calmed down. There's nothing to be afraid of, if you retreat, what will happen to Mi Zhen in front of you? 、
Regaining his courage, Zhang Hao pulled Mi Zhen and turned around and walked towards the house. As a result, the moment he turned around, a familiar face appeared in front of him.
"Yikes! Husband... Husband... Madame, why are you here? ”
It was Fang Wan in front of her, and she was still holding her son Zhang Si in her arms. Looking at it like this, she had been standing there for a while, obviously Mi Zhen saw her, but Zhang Hao wandered out of the world and never noticed it.
"What the husband said, this is the concubine's net worth, where is the concubine's body not here?"
Zhang Hao had no choice but to smile bitterly, it's over, it's even more difficult to explain now.
Before he could think of what to say, Fang Wan spoke first: "This is Sister Mi, she is so good-looking, and she must be a big beauty in the future." ”
Stuffing her son to Zhang Hao, Fang Wan took Mi Zhen's hand: "Let my husband stay here alone, and you and my sister will go into the room to have a good chat in the private room." ”
Mi Zhen looked at Zhang Hao with some fear, but he decisively became an ostrich, pretending not to see, and teasing his son there.
Until the two disappeared in front of him, Zhang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fortunately survived. Let's do that for now, and we'll talk about the rest later.
"Si'er, call Dad."
……
In the evening, the two families gathered in Zhang's Mansion to eat dumplings. Since Zhang Hao came to Fang County and taught the kitchen how to make dumplings, he and Fang Wan have eaten every year, but it is the first time that others have seen this food.
In just such a while, Fang Wan and Mi Zhen have become talkative, looking like friends who have known each other for many years. This made Zhang Hao breathe a sigh of relief again.
Xiaoqing still loves to eat so much, she has eaten almost twenty dumplings, and she is still eating with a bulging stomach, I really envy her for not being fat.
Fang Jing and Zhang Si, the two little guys, each held a small bowl in their hands and had a lot of fun there.
The old people of the two families sat together and chatted very happily, wealth and prosperity are not pursued by any family, and the Zhang and Fang families have achieved it in just a few years, no wonder Zhang Hao often smiles when he sees them every day.
Fang Zhu's wife, Ren, was holding a little daughter who had just reached the full moon, whose name was Tao Tao. The couple was there watching the children, their faces beaming with happiness.
Xiaorou smiled very happily and fed the dumplings to Zheng Meng to eat, but the kid swallowed them without chewing them, and then opened his mouth to ask for more.
These people, who didn't know if they could survive in the troubled times, are now sitting together alive, and their happy appearance makes Zhang Hao immersed in satisfaction.
"I have taken care of my family, and what I have to do is to protect the world."
At night, Zhang Hao walked into Fang Wan's room and was greeted by a pillow and a quilt.
"Don't sleep here tonight, let me go to my second sister's." The two recognized sisters so quickly.
Zhang Hao was kicked out, and when he walked to Mi Zhen's room in embarrassment, he got the same sentence.
"My husband hasn't been home all year, so let's go to my eldest sister tonight." This is the first time Mi Zhen has said no to Zhang Hao.
"I have no one to ask for General Duliao, Pingzhou Assassin Shi, and Changli Marquis Zhang Hao?"
