Under the leadership of the young man, it didn't take long for Zhao Feng to come to a relatively large courtyard not very far from the dock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is a self-contained courtyard surrounded by greenery and separated by high courtyard walls.

Based on the size of the surrounding trees, Zhao Feng estimates that the area of this courtyard is at least 1,000 square meters.

The 1,000-square-meter independent courtyard is not big in the luxury area, but here, it stands out from the crowd.

The surrounding houses are also independent, but the area is generally less than 100 square meters, and the small ones are even only 50 or 60. And all of them are very old.

In front of these old houses, children dressed in coarse cloths and covered in dust and mud are frolicking, and in the distance, housewives are drying clothes and doing household chores.

Seeing the young man coming, both the child and the woman only glanced at each other from a distance, and the child continued to play, while the woman who came close smiled and nodded at the young man in greeting.

It's a very calm action, but it can also be seen that the relationship between young people and these civilian families is still good.

The young man squeezed out a shallow smile to those women, and then led Zhao Feng straight to the big courtyard.

The door of the courtyard was closed, but the young man did not knock on the door, and pushed it open directly.

Zhao Feng didn't feel strange and walked in.

In front of the house is a large garden of more than 200 square meters.

The garden has all kinds of facilities, rockeries, fountains, tree tun, flower tun and so on can be seen in the outline.

But now, except for some green grass, those trees, flowers, etc., are gone, and only messy dirt is gone.

In a clearing not far from the garden, a fair-skinned woman with sleepy hair tied back was washing clothes.

When Zhao Feng followed the young man in, the woman looked up.

"I'm back."

The woman smiled sweetly at the young man. There was love in his eyes.

"Oh, there are guests, Rong'er, why don't you say it in advance, I'll prepare in advance."

Seeing Zhao Feng following the young man, the woman blamed the young man, and then hurriedly put down the clothes in her hands and stood up, while her hands naturally wiped the coarse cloth clothes on her body.

When I was washing the clothes just now, I didn't think that after the woman stood up, Zhao Feng found that the other party was quite tall, and his temperament was also very good, and the first feeling to Zhao Feng should be a gentle and elegant hostess, but he didn't expect to be wearing coarse cloth and doing rough work now.

"Mother, this is a grandfather's friend who introduced me, and I came to find grandpa."

After the young man finished speaking, he walked up to the woman, took out Zhao Feng's letter and a small bag of gold coins, and put them in the woman's hand.

Then, without waiting for the woman to speak, he walked briskly into the house.

The woman looked at her somewhat rude son and opened her mouth to say something, but she held back. He quickly wiped his red and swollen eyes with his hand, and then smiled at Zhao Feng.

"Come, little brother, please go to the house and sit down and drink a glass of water."

The woman made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Feng as she spoke.

"Excuse me, ma'am."

Zhao Feng smiled and nodded.

Following the woman into the house, Zhao Feng found that the house looked luxurious on the outside, but there were four walls inside.

There is no decoration without saying anything, and there is only a shabby square table that seems to have been used for more than ten years in the whole living room, and a few old chairs full of traces of time.

Everything was old but very clean.

"Please sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass of water."

After the woman invited Zhao Feng to sit down, she turned around and left.

After about five minutes, the woman came out with a bowl of water.

Zhao Feng got up and took the water handed over by the woman with both hands.

The water was clean, but it was cold.

It's almost October, the weather is a little cold, and it's actually not appropriate to drink cold water, but Zhao Feng still drank several sips in a row.

When the woman saw Zhao Feng's movements, a smile appeared on her haggard face.

"I didn't expect that the little brother was introduced by Brother Li, I don't know how Brother Li is recently? We haven't seen him for almost a decade since we moved here. By the way, I don't know what to call the little brother? ”

The woman said to Zhao Feng very happily.

Zhao Feng shook his head slightly embarrassed: "My surname is Zhao, I'm sorry, madam, Li Hongming is my senior brother, and I don't know about his father's situation." Senior Brother Li and I built a town together, right in Qingfeng City, very close to the South China Sea. ”

"Recently, we got a shipbuilding note, and Brother Li asked me to come over and ask Master Zhang if he was interested in it. If you are interested, we would like to invite Master Zhang to our research and development ship. ”

Zhao Feng said his intention in one breath, fully demonstrating his sincerity.

While talking, he also took out the shipbuilding experience wrapped in it and put it on the table.

The woman didn't go to get the shipbuilding experience, but said to Zhao Feng with a slight redness in her eyes: "Little Brother Zhao, if it was half a year ago, with the friendship between the old man and Brother Li, he didn't need this shipbuilding experience, I think he would also be willing to go to your shipbuilding." ”

"But now ......"

At this, the woman suddenly couldn't control herself and choked up.

Zhao Feng was not in a hurry, and sat calmly beside him and waited.

After nearly three minutes, the woman forcibly collected her mood, wiped away her tears, and said, "I'm sorry, it's rude." ”

"It's okay, take the liberty of asking, is something wrong with Master Zhang?"

Zhao Feng shook his head with a smile, and then asked.

The woman collected her mood and began to talk about it with a slight choked up.

The master Zhang Hao that Zhao Feng needs to invite is the owner of this mansion, the woman's father-in-law, and the grandfather of the young man just now.

More than half a year ago, an old friend of Zhang Hao suddenly came to the door, saying that he had found some ruins and wanted to invite Zhang Hao to go over for an expedition together.

The reason why he took the initiative to come to Zhang Hao was because the site of the ruins was on an island in the sea, and he needed an old boatman to help him drive the boat.

After that, the man had a secret conversation with Zhang Hao, and then came out to tell everyone that he was going out for a month and would come back in a month and a half at the latest.

Zhang Chengxin, that is, the woman's husband, Zhang Hao's only son, he was worried that his father would be unbearable when he went away alone for so long, after all, Zhang Hao is already eighty years old, and he is no longer the prime of life who can resist the storm before.

So I decided to go with Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao also took into account his age and wanted his son to exercise, so he agreed.

When he set off, in addition to Zhang Hao's friends, Zhang Hao and Zhang Chengxin, there were more than 40 sailors.

These sailors are all old sailors of Zhang Hao's shipyard and have a lot of experience.

At that time, the ship he was on was a class 5 cargo ship designed and built by Zhang Hao himself, which could withstand level 11 storms!

At that time, I promised the families of those sailors that I would definitely be back in a month and a half at the latest.

As a result, after 2 months, I haven't come back!

When you go to sea, there are always some unexpected things that will delay the trip, but it is only half a month late, and everyone can stick to it.

But another month passed, and no one was seen, and everyone knew that something was wrong.

The families of those sailors immediately sued her family to the city lord's mansion, and the city lord directly confiscated Zhang Hao's shipyard, and her home was also smashed by the angry sailors' family, and everything of value was taken away.

Under the pressure of life, Zhang Yuhao, who was originally well-dressed and well-fed, took the initiative to take on the burden of the family and went outside as a porter.

Because they didn't have the money, they couldn't even ask someone to look for it. (To be continued.) )
