Chapter 82: Freedom Restored

I hadn't practiced kung fu for long before Zhang Changzhi came out of prison. I clearly remember that when Mr. Zhang came out in mid-April of that year, his return allowed my mother to have free time to go back to the old house for a while. Zhang Changzhi has a very good mind, and his mother told him about the process of selling vegetables, and she became familiar with it in a few days.

First of all, let's talk about the day he was released from prison, it was a bit too much to say that he was picked up, even if it was the first meal of welcome back. My mother deliberately arranged the place to eat in my old house. also instructed Li Hongyan to take Zhang Changzhi to his home for dinner. Li Hongyan was still a little squirming at first, and she could only agree to my mother's strong request.

Zhang Changzhi's breakfast was eaten in prison, and Li Hongyan went there to pick him up. Zhang Changzhi said goodbye to the discipline with tears in his eyes, looked at the high wall behind him, and took Li Hongyan's hand and left silently. They walked and changed cars for more than three hours to get to my family's old house.

When I came, my mom had prepared the meal, and when she saw them enter the door, she began to beckon them to eat.

"You're all hungry, hurry up and wash your hands and eat on the table!" Mom said to Zhang Changzhi and Li Hongyan.

"Yes, Auntie, but I and Hongyan are so hungry, I just ate in it in the morning, and I haven't eaten anything else yet. Hongyan is even more miserable, she didn't eat much when she picked me up in the morning, and until now, she has suffered with me. Zhang Changzhi said while looking at Li Hongyan affectionately.

"When I was reversing the bus, I told him that I wanted to eat a bowl of ramen at the noodle restaurant and come back, but my brother said that the first meal was very important. He said that he must come to my aunt's place to eat this meal, and he asked me to eat my own noodles, but I didn't eat them later, but I was starving. Li Hongyan deliberately complained while eating.

"Well, there's no need for you to skip food with me. I've heard people say that the most important thing to do when you come out is to serve someone's rice bowl at the first meal. So I thought that I had to serve Aunt Li's rice bowl after I came out, because Aunt Li gave me food! This Chang Zhi is full of deep meaning.

Mom saw Zhang Changzhi say this, and she didn't argue anything. Watching the two of them gobble up, my mother and I also started eating with chopsticks.

"Well, you've eaten something, and now that you've got something in your stomach, let's raise a glass together, and I'll tell you something else after you've drunk." Come on, Mr. Zhang. I salute you first. Saying that, my mother toasted Zhang Changzhi with a wine glass.

"Thank you, Auntie, I came directly to you after I came out, thank you, I won't say anything else, thank you for taking care of Hongyan these days, we will be relatives in the future, I will treat Mudun as my brother." Zhang Changzhi was a little excited.

When they had finished speaking, they both dried their wines. Zhang Changzhi's alcohol consumption is obviously not good, and his face is flushed after drinking a glass of wine. Li Hongyan next to him looked a little distressed, but he was in a hurry but couldn't help.

"Come, Hongyan, I'll drink one alone with you." Mom seems to be interested.

"Okay auntie. We did it. ”

The two men didn't say much, and they drank happily.

"Teacher Zhang, Brother Zhang, I want to ,,," I picked up the wine glass and wanted to toast Teacher Zhang like my mother. My mother stopped me.

"Dunzi, you can pull it down, don't toast with your amount of alcohol, and a few teachers Zhang can't drink you." Mom relieved Zhang Changzhi.

"The wine is also finished, and Mr. Zhang also said that we are a family. I've got something to say this time! Mom suddenly became serious.

"Teacher Zhang, do you want to sell vegetables with Li Hongyan in the future?" Mom asked.

"My teaching credentials have been cancelled, and that's all I need for now." Zhang Changzhi was said to be a little discouraged.

"I hope you are a responsible man and can take care of Hongyan in the future. Where do you plan to live in the future? Mom continued to ask.

"My parents can live there, but it's too far away."

"I have a house, he can live in mine." Li Hongyan interjected.

"What about your opinion? Teacher Xiao Zhang. ”

"I, I can go out and rent a house." Zhang Changzhi realized his mother's intention after his mother emphasized the word "teacher".

"That's for the best, and it doesn't seem good to say this in front of the dun. But Hongyan and Dunzi are still children in my eyes, do you say? Teacher Zhang! "Mom is still more subtle.

"I know, Auntie. Thank you Auntie for the reminder, I will pay attention to this aspect in the future, you can rest assured. Teacher Xiao Zhang made his attitude clear.

"As long as I'm with my brother, I don't care about anything else." Li Hongyan was obviously a little anxious.

"I didn't say that I wouldn't let you be together, I see that you are in a hurry." Mom teased Li Hongyan.

"Auntie, you hate ,,," Li Hongyan blushed with shame.

Later, Zhang Changzhi listened to my mother's words, and when Li Hongyan was twenty years old, they got married and lived together. My mom didn't attend their wedding because she was supposed to be in New Zealand at the time. My mother entrusted me to Zhang Changzhi is still quite discerning, and after she left me, Zhang Changzhi's position in my left-behind life is still full. I went to the provincial capital with Uncle Zhang around the fourth grade, and before that, I had more than two years of time with Zhang Changzhi. Later, Zhang Changzhi and Li Hongyan got married, and I promised Uncle Zhang to go to the provincial capital to continue his schooling.

Zhang Changzhi began his career as a vegetable seller, he went to the farmers' market to sell vegetables during the day, and came back at night to tutor me in my homework and watch me do my homework. He didn't let Li Hongyan delay his homework, and the things he could take care of by himself would definitely not trouble others. In this way, my mother rarely had a period of free time during that period, and she was still envious of me studying seriously under Zhang Changzhi's guidance.

My mother's learning spirit was no worse than mine's at that time, probably because my father asked her to learn more things. She was still a little afraid of what was to come. Mom always thinks that she has no culture, and it will make people laugh when she goes out. If she loses face to her husband, it is not her own business, she didn't help her husband anything, and let her husband suffer with her, which is not what she hopes after all. So when she saw that Zhang Changzhi had free time, she always asked Zhang Changzhi some knowledge that she thought was very important, such as ancient poetry or something.

On May Day, our school is closed, but I won't be much more relaxed because of the holiday. Of course, the reason is that I sold vegetables, but fortunately I didn't have to go to the vegetable market that day, but went back to the old house in the countryside with my mother to prepare more vegetables. On the vegetable market, there are Li Hongyan and Zhang Changzhi. Li Hongyan cherishes the opportunity to be with Zhang Changzhi.

Zhang Changzhi listened to his mother's words, did not let Li Hongyan drop out of school, and told her to at least finish junior high school. As for Li Hongyan, there are still a lot of classes that have fallen in the past, and it takes some effort to graduate successfully. In fact, she studied purely because Zhang Changzhi liked it, and she was obedient to Zhang Changzhi, completely losing the arrogance and arrogance towards me. As long as she has time, she is willing to mix with Zhang Changzhi, and she doesn't care about my fists and feet.

I saw that Li Hongyan's mind was completely attracted by Zhang Changzhi, so I found an opportunity to say to her: "Senior Sister Hongyan, you see that I have fallen a lot in the past two days. If it goes on like this, I don't think it works. ”

"Senior sister has been busy lately, but I see that you have a good talent, so let's practice by yourself." Li Hongyan was a little overwhelmed, she didn't want to spend any more time on me.

"Yes, don't just focus on learning, morality, intelligence, physical beauty is still very important, or you will continue to practice boxing with Dunzi! I don't need you to stay with me here. Zhang Changzhi said with a smile

Looking at the smile on the corner of Zhang Changzhi's mouth, Li Hongyan immediately understood what we meant. She was angry and annoyed at my tricks, and she was helpless.

"You dead man, are you my junior brother, listen to my sister, hurry up and learn your practice." Li Hongyan's deliberately annoyed expression looked even more youthful and cute.

"When the master came out and saw that my boxing practice was messy, I said that you didn't teach it well, and you will be with Teacher Zhang when you have time." Of course, I can't let her go, and Li Hongyan is helpless to look at me like this.

After about two or three days, when I came home from school that day, my mother didn't let Mr. Zhang sell vegetables, but asked him to tutor me. When I came back, I saw Zhang Changzhi and Li Hongyan waiting for me at my house.

"Oh, you're on a date! What's wrong sister, it's out of school! It's not a lot of pressure to study! "I started bullying Li Hongyan again.

"Dunzi, be serious, I really have something to tell you today." Seeing Li Hongyan's serious appearance, I was really a little uncomfortable.

"What about this, it's a well-informed boxing book, the front is the moves and the diagram, and the back is the qi training thing, I don't understand. Now Senior Sister brings him to you, I've been very busy studying lately, so you have to practice hard by yourself. If you don't know some words, my brother can teach you. Li Hongyan said and took out a book that looked very old and handed it to me.

"Sister Hongyan, I'm joking, I really don't mean that, I'm mainly teasing you, don't think about it! Isn't your family the Lord's thing? To be honest, I really don't want to guess what the master is! "I'm in a hurry.

If I really accepted Li Hongyan's things, I would be a little reluctant. After all, it's a family heirloom. Li Hongyan probably took this thing out of gratitude to me, but I didn't want to take advantage of people's danger to ask for something that was handed down from other people's families.

"Finish writing, even if I lend it to you, just give it back to me before my parents get out of prison." Li Hongyan took another step back.

"That's it, put this here for me, every time I come to tutor Dunzi, let him read this more, just let him expand his extracurricular knowledge." Zhang Changzhi came out and compromised.

It's ridiculous to think about it now, but who has ever heard of me using a boxing book as an extracurricular book, and I can basically memorize it.
