Fu Linmen was handed over to Xu Yong, and he didn't have to take care of Erniu's shop, and Zhang Chen became idle again.

He didn't have the kind of cheap trait that made him uncomfortable when he was idle, so he simply became the shopkeeper.

But instead of living in his own small courtyard, he lived in Zhang's house.

The old man Zhang Yicheng was very resentful that Zhang Chen could not spend the first New Year with him after recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, and he sent people to ask him every day when he planned to go home.

At the beginning, Xu Yong couldn't be on his own, Zhang Chen naturally had no leisure, and now there was no reason to refuse him.

The first thing he did when he returned to the Zhang family, Zhang Chen was taken by the old man to the Zhang family ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and after the old man's chatter, Zhang Chen was sent forward to offer incense to the ancestral tablet of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yicheng's words almost made him laugh out loud, saying that Zhang Chen couldn't control it, Zhang Chen was disobedient, Zhang Chen didn't think about him, Zhang Chen only cared about his own happiness, etc., etc., there was no sentence that Zhang Chen was sorry for the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Because the old man usually didn't put on the shelf of the elders, so after the fact, Zhang Chen asked him, shouldn't he say something when worshipping his ancestors, who and who come to worship his ancestors, hoping that the ancestors will bless him or something?

Don't doubt it, these words were all seen by Zhang Chen on TV series before, but after seeing them many times, he already felt that these words were an indispensable routine.

"The ancestor is our own, what do you want to say to him, and don't you make your own decisions? I'm willing to sue them against you, what's the matter? Zhang Yicheng blew his beard and glared.

Okay, okay, your ancestors, you have the final say.

After worshipping his ancestors, Zhang Chen was raised in the Zhang family like a pig by the old man. In addition to playing a few games of chess with him every day, he was ordered to eat this and that.

"Grandpa, can't we do something else?" Zhang Chen couldn't bear it anymore and resisted.

"Okay, I look good at the fourth girl of the Niu family, let's go and meet?" The old man smiled, as if unintentionally throwing a giant bomb.

"Uh...... I felt a little hungry, and I didn't know if there was any leftover in the kitchen for the drunken chicken I ate at noon. Zhang Chen decisively pretended to be dead.

"Humph! As soon as you see the girl, you will come with me to this set, can you change it for something fresh? The old man was dissatisfied, "If you want to learn to play chess, you won't learn it, it's all messy, let you quickly find me a granddaughter-in-law, and pretend to be a turtle there, can you have a little interest?" ”

Zhang Chen was sleepy as soon as he played chess, his eyes were closed when he fell, and the old man gradually lost interest in playing against him, and when the two of them fished together, they slept from beginning to end. If someone else was like this to him, the old man couldn't help but cut him a long time ago, but the other party was his own grandson who had suffered more than 20 years of sins outside, although he was a little depressed, he could only endure it.

"Okay, I'll have the kitchen make you custard, let's go get some food?"

Seeing that the old man was about to explode, Zhang Chen hurriedly smoothed his hair.

"Hmph, count your kid with a conscience~" Zhang Yicheng snorted arrogantly.

In fact, after getting along with Zhang Chen during this time, he felt more and more intimate about this child, although he was often so angry that he jumped to his feet, but all he made was harmless jokes. The only thing that doesn't satisfy him is that Zhang Chen is particularly reluctant to let him find a woman to marry, so when will his great-grandson be available?

"Old lady, Madame asks to see you." The butler came over and asked for instructions.

Zhang Yicheng didn't speak, but a pair of eyes looked towards Zhang Chen, seeing that he lowered his eyes as usual, the old man sighed in his heart, "Tell her that I'm a little tired, and invite her to come in and sit another day." ”

Ever since Zhang Nianjun left the capital with Sun Zhou, Ni Junyao has been living in Wangheju. Because Zhang Huai'an was not at home, it was indeed a little inconvenient for the old lady to stay with a daughter-in-law, so he acquiesced.

The daughter-in-law and the grandson have some disagreements, and he also knows it, but when he mentioned it to Zhang Chen a few times, and Zhang Chen was silent, he stopped mentioning it.

The things that the daughter-in-law did before hurt the heart of this grandson who doesn't care at all on the outside, but is actually very sensitive inside. It is also extremely difficult to restore it.

All he could do was try to warm his somewhat cold heart, letting him know that this family welcomes him and likes him, and can't do without him.

Zhang Chen didn't seem to be aware of what had just happened, and got up with a smile and instructed the people waiting outside the house: "Let the kitchen bring the egg custard." ”

What the old man thought in his heart, he didn't know, and even Ni Junyao's thoughts, he knew it clearly, but Zhang Chen still didn't plan to ease the relationship with his mother.

He is not a saint, and he is no longer at an age where he can't live without his mother, what kind of choice Ni Junyao once made between himself and Zhang Nianjun, he has never forgotten this matter, and he has always minded.

Zhang Chen also knew that as long as he showed even a little kindness to Ni Junyao, she would pour out her heart and lungs to herself and even give herself everything she had, but he couldn't force himself to pretend that nothing had happened.

……

Ni Junyao left Zhang's house again. She couldn't remember how many times it was, and the old man didn't even let him in.

She also knew that Zhang Chen was angry that he had broken his heart, and the old man cherished him and was reluctant to let him suffer a little grievance, but did he say that he didn't like his mother ugly? Even if there is something wrong with being a mother, shouldn't a son choose to forgive her? Why did he become unrelenting when he came to him?

Therefore, Zhang Chen and Ni Junyao, a mother and son, will not sit together calmly in their lifetimes. Each of them felt wronged, that the other had not thought about themselves.

……

Zhang Yicheng's health is still healthy, but when he was young, he was inevitably injured when he marched and fought, and he was not treated in time at the border pass.

Whenever it rained on a cloudy day, the place where he had been injured would ache faintly, and he found many Lang Zhong to come over, but he could not completely cure it. The feeling of being uncomfortable and having no way to do anything is not much better than when you are injured.

Zhang Chen had heard his grandmother complain about the discomfort of this problem in his previous life, and he also knew how she got it, so he sent someone to get a few cotton bags wrapped in coarse salt grains.

When the old man felt a faint pain, he heated the coarse salt bag and tied it to warm it.

Not to mention, although this method cannot cure the root cause, it relieves his pain to some extent, so that he will no longer toss and turn and can't sleep on the night of the illness.
