In the gloomy sky, Zhang Xuezeng, who had a clear face and a thin body, walked into a large bungalow area with a pillar of crutches. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the middle of the factory area in the north and the barracks area in the south, there are about more than 1,000 acres of land, all built into houses, except for the compound of Zhang Han and the senior officials, from the senior officers to the middle-level officers are all living here, the low-level officers are still living houses, and the families are also left at home, not brought to Lizhuang.

In addition to the officer's residence, that is, the residence of the military personnel, the management personnel of the workshop and the senior craftsmen also have a residence, the residence is large and small, the smallest is also a small courtyard with a gatehouse and two wing rooms and three main houses, in Tianchengwei and Yang Hewei to Datong, this kind of residence is worth at least sixty taels of silver, which is the residence of middle-level personnel.

Go up is the compound, such as Zhang Han's yard in the middle, is a mansion composed of more than a dozen houses, there are garden stables and mountain stones, the old house of the Zhang family in Xinpingbao is relatively small, and it is big enough to build here in Li Zhuang.

When Zhang Xuezeng came over, the sky was already very bad, but in the large empty field in the middle of the residential area, there were still many children playing, playing tops, throwing sandbags, playing with sweat, many mothers and relatives looked at the gray sky, seeing that the snow was about to fall, so they stood at the gate of the courtyard and called their children home, and most of those children just ignored them.

"Who is the old gentleman looking for?" A seven or eight-year-old child saw Zhang Xuezeng and came forward to ask.

"I'm looking for Zhou Rui's house. You take me there, and I'll buy snacks with your money. Zhang Xuezeng smiled, took a copper coin from his sleeve, and wanted to hand it to the child.

"No, my family is not short of money." The child shook his head and smiled, and said, "Zhou Rui's family is over there, I'll call him over." ”

Zhang Xuezeng was very surprised when he heard the words, and then saw that the children on the empty field were neatly dressed, and there was aura in their eyes, he called two at random, and when he asked, they were all studying in the school of He Yusheng, and they did not charge tuition, and they also had two meals a day, plus the people who lived here were all military officers or officers, of course there was no shortage of money at home, and children would not be greedy for strangers' money, and the reason was like this.

"Wen Lan has done a great job, and this life is in vain." Zhang Xuezeng came from Puzhou, where the people in the Zhang family clan are studying in the ethnology, but they can only be the core clansmen, and the peripheral estranged clansmen will spend money to enter the clan, even if the core clansmen have to give the teacher some respect, the burden on many people is not small, if the children do not have spirituality, they don't look like the seedlings who can show off their talents, and at most they will drop out of school and go home if they know some words, which is like Li Zhuang here, Zhang Han has built a number of schools to teach children literacy for free, and learn some basic skills. It doesn't have to be the path of studying.

Sure enough, the boy called another little black boy of five or six years old, with snot dragging his nose between his lips.

The child of the Zhou family rolled his eyes and said, "My father is on duty, but he is not at home." ”

Zhang Xuezeng thought for a while and said, "Then is your second uncle still at home?" ”

"Yes."

"That's good." Zhang Xuezeng smiled and said: "You take me to your house, I want to see your second uncle." ”

The child looked up at Zhang Xuezeng, his face was thoughtful, and the previous child said impatiently: "Look at this old man is not a bad person, Zhou Xing, you should take someone with you quickly." ”

Zhang Xuezeng followed the child all the way over, the sky began to fall small snowflakes, this time the children who were still playing scattered all of a sudden, each ran home, Zhang Xuezeng saw that the ground was very smooth and clean, it turned out that there were green brick paved roads everywhere, any corners and corners were like this, he was a little surprised in his heart, when the Zhang family in Puzhou was at its peak, it did not make such a scene in the street market where he lived, the difference was too far.

There is a street in the north-south direction and the east-west direction, forming the appearance of a cross street, and there are different alleys inside, Zhang Xuezeng saw that there are cards standing at the entrance of each alley, which is written which street and which lane, and each house has a name plate, if Zhang Xuezeng knew the address of the Zhou family in advance, he did not need someone to lead the way, and he could touch the Zhou family by following the house number.

Zhang Xuezeng was very surprised, unless here, Zhang Xuezeng had traveled a lot of places, and there really was no place where he would do things in such a way.

When arriving at the head of Zhou's house, look at the house number and the name of the head of the household hanging on the courtyard wall next to the door of the small courtyard, there are candle lanterns at the mouth of the alley, there are lanterns hanging above the courtyard wall and on the door, the snow is bright all around, every family is like this, there are some children who are not afraid of snow and push the door out to play, although the snow falls on the head, but people stand in such a place and feel settled in their hearts, the snow is not too annoying, but it makes people feel very peaceful and happy, there is a very comfortable feeling.

Seeing the snow under the shadow of such a lamp is also a refreshing thing, but Zhang Xuezeng had something in his heart, and sighed that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well when he was in Puzhou, and he had not had time to get a glimpse of the whole picture of Lizhuang here in a hurry several times before.

When the child knocked on the door, a middle-aged servant woman opened the door first, Zhang Xuezeng reported his name and explained his intention, but the woman did not let him enter the door, but turned around and went in to report.

Zhang Xuezeng smiled, Li Zhuang is still worse than the big family in terms of etiquette no matter what, only from the current reaction, the master and servant of this family do not know much about etiquette and sophistication.

When the servant woman entered the door, she went straight into the upper room and told her about the visitor at the door.

Zhou Rui is an attendant officer, the upper duty has not returned, his wife Qian and his brother and sister-in-law are gossiping in the upper room to pass the time, the current situation is different from the past, if a few years ago the Zhou family would have turned off the lights, the family went to the pit to warm up and sleep, now there is a stove made by the military division in the house, the house is very warm, and Zhou Rui is on duty before the change, and then he will make a fire to cook dinner for Zhou Rui to eat, and then he will have to toss it, it is better to chat and wait.

Qian listened to the report, and said helplessly: "It's okay for the second uncle to run around and annoy him, and he also provoked these irrelevant people to run with him, which is so annoying." ”

Brother Qian pondered: "This Zhang Xuezeng seems to be Lord Zhang's third uncle, right?" ”

Qian's wife said angrily: "What's the matter, what a big mess his family's Zhang Xuzong has caused, at that time I thought that Li Zhuang would be finished here, and I wanted to persuade my family to leave quickly, but fortunately, this matter was quickly solved by Lord Zhang." ”

Sister-in-law Qian said: "My sister is living a good life now, but the risk is also great. ”

Brother Qian said again: "Now that the company is established, the affairs of Heyusheng Commercial Bank will be handled by the company in the future, and your second uncle may not have any authority in the future, he has not seen Lord Zhang for several days, but it is conceivable that when he was the shopkeeper of Heyusheng, he didn't know what to offend the adult, and it was better to persuade him to leave earlier." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qian was greatly moved, and said: "This matter has to be discussed with the master, or ask someone to lead the old man to the second uncle's house." ”

Everyone was speechless, looking at the door through the window, it was the servant woman who ran to open the door and welcomed Zhang Xuezeng in.

Seeing that no one came to pick him up, Zhang Xuezeng was a little surprised, but the servant pointed out the room where Zhou Fengji lived, so he walked on crutches and walked to knock on the door.

"It turned out that the third father was here." Zhou Fengji has fallen asleep, older people don't like to stay up late, and it is also a habit of life for many years.

Zhang Xuezeng said with a smile: "Old Zhou is good, this time I came to bother you." ”

"You're welcome." Zhou Fengji said with some shame: "Originally, I said that I would help the third father meet the adult, but I haven't seen him yet." ”

"Wen Lan is too busy right now." Zhang Xuezeng sighed: "I don't have any major events here, and I am not in a hurry, but if you are in a hurry, you can go back to Xinpingbao first." ”

Zhou Fengji hesitated for a moment and replied: "I have my own affairs here, not purely for my brother's affairs. ”

"Oh, then I'm relieved."

The two entered the house and sit, there was a brazier in the house, Zhou Fengji dialed it with iron tongs, the sparks splashed, the walls of the room were flushed red, and the person felt a lot warmer.

After sitting opposite each other, they didn't say anything for a while, and Zhou Fengji said: "The third father hasn't eaten dinner yet, right?" I'll go to the kitchen and bring some food. ”

Zhang Xuezeng hurriedly stopped: "No need, I have already deviated when I came over." ”

Zhang Xuezeng thought for a while and asked, "Old Zhou, are you going to quit the shopkeeper?" ”

"Yes," Zhou Fengji said: "The commercial bank transferred to the company, there was not much to do, and in the future, it was coordinated by the military department, and there were branches in various places to be responsible, commodity transshipment, warehousing, and purchases were all handled by the military department. ”

"You have been working with Yusheng for a lifetime, even if you don't do things and become a nominal director, no one will dare to say anything."

Zhou Fengji shook his head and smiled, and said, "Third Father, you don't know the current rules of us and Yusheng......

He knew that it must have been Zhang Xuezeng who saw that Zhou Rui's family treated him slowly this time, and in addition, he couldn't see Zhang Han for many days, which made people think more, but Zhou Fengji himself was confident that Zhang Han was not a merciless person, and not seeing him for a while didn't mean anything.

……

When Zhang Han walked into the door of his mansion, snowflakes fell.

He sighed and muttered, "Hopefully this is the last snow." ”

The upper room is brightly lit and lively.

As soon as Zhang Han entered the door, everyone stood up, even Chang Jinyou and Sun Anle, who were genuine father-in-law and half father-in-law, were the same, only Chang was holding a child and sitting still with a smile.

"I've seen two Tarzans, and I've seen my uncle."

"Mother," said hello, Zhang Han smiled, "Whose child is this?" ”

The child Chang was holding was five or six months old, his eyes were wide open, and he was looking around curiously, Zhang Han's son was still in the stage of eating, sleeping, sleeping and eating every day, and he didn't sleep for more than an hour every day, and the child in front of him was obviously not his own child.

"This is the nephew of the grandson's family." Chang smiled and teased the child, and said, "The doll is white and fat, it's really good." ”

"It turned out to be the son of Brother Xiaozheng." Sun Jingting has a daughter before, less than three years old, last year his wife was pregnant and returned to Lingqiu to recuperate, Zhang Han also laughed at Sun Jingting for more than half a year on the grassland, and he could sow success in a little time, which is enviable, of course, he was inevitably counterattacked by Sun Jingting and Li Shenming, Zhang Han returned to Li Zhuang in a short time and Chang Ning became pregnant, and he didn't seem to be scared.
