Zhang Yang smiled: "I'm afraid I missed it by chance." We passed by the Fuxi grocery store, but we didn't see Laixi and Xiaomei. After a few days of suffocation on the boat, the stone said that he walked back just to move his legs and feet, so he walked back. ”

He Shi chattered happily, what is the long way is very far, the snow is very big, the weather is very cold, it is frozen, etc., Zhang Dazhuan interrupted her impatiently: "He is such an adult, can he still freeze?" Why don't you let me talk to my son? You have that empty nag, it's better to bring some food and hot soup for your son to drink. ”

He woke up from a dream and hurried to the kitchen.

Chrysanthemum and Huaizi couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'll let Aunt Liu get it, you just sit and talk to your little son." Yang Zi, you tossed your father and mother hard, and didn't give a letter, saying that it was fifteen and came back, and it was delayed until sixteen, so that your brother ran for nothing yesterday and didn't receive you. Mother, they didn't close their eyes all night last night, for fear that something would happen to you, and today is also from morning to night, and the bottom of this eye is still dark. ”

Zhang Yang explained to Zhang Dazhuan with a ashamed face that some things were delayed, so he missed the return date.

When the old couple saw him come back, they were very happy, how could they mention this stubble again, and only asked him how he was doing outside, nothing more than how he was eating and dressing, and whether he was tired from his studies. Zhang Yang also told them in detail, and although some of them seemed to understand or not, they also enjoyed it with relish.

Waiting for Aunt Liu to bring two dishes and one soup, after Zhang Yang ate, he saw that his little nephew was just waking up, so he hurriedly grabbed it, picked up one casually, and said with a smile: "This is...... Chestnut! Good boy, smile at the second uncle! The second uncle has flipped through a lot of books before he can help you pick a good name, you must use it. ”

Seeing that he opened the small quilt that wrapped the baby, went directly to look at the baby's underneath, and then determined the identity of the chestnut, she couldn't help frowning, but the Zhang family and the others laughed.

I heard that I had chosen a name for my son, and I just wanted to speak. Huaizi asked his younger brother, "What's your name?" Let's say it first, don't you want it, I also found a lot of your sister Chrysanthemum, and hired the best. ”

Fifteen-year-old Zhang Yang has grown a lot taller, and the boy was originally full of bookish energy, but now he is a little jumpy, and it is obvious that he is very happy to be reunited with his family after a long absence.

When he saw his brother say this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The I Ching is a hexagram. The gentleman works all day long, and he is not to blame. This dry word is very good! Zhang Qian. Dry all day long, go with the times; At the top and not arrogant. Stay in the bottom and don't worry about ......"

Zhang Huai hurriedly shouted: "You don't have to drag the text." This word is good, but it is too eye-catching, but it also represents the heavens and the king...... "When he was studying, the master also roughly talked about the Book of Changes, so he also knew it.

Zhang Yang said: "That's okay, it means a lot, you are the king, you are the father." For jade, for gold, for cold, for ice...... Let's just take its meaning of self-improvement and hard work. ”

Zhang Dazhuan opened his mouth wide and listened to what their brother said for a long time, but he didn't understand, but he heard the word "Zhang Qian", so he expressed his opinion: "Just according to what his second uncle said." It's called Zhang Qian! His second uncle is a showman, can he be wrong? ”

Zhang Dazhuan looked at his youngest son adoringly: Just this one word, he said such a word, this word is definitely not simple, so he happily made a final decision, and the big name of the chestnut is Zhang Qian!

Huaizi and Chrysanthemum had no choice but to watch their son's daimyo being taken over by the words picked out from the ancient books of the head of the scriptures.

Seeing Zhang Yang's eyes on the other one on the small bed, Chrysanthemum hurriedly shouted, "I have thought of the name of the shallot, and your brother." You gave Chestnut a meaningful name, in the hope that he would make a difference in the future. But Shallot is a girl. Your second uncle, don't hit her with a bookbag, the name of your daughter's family is still far away from those vast scriptures, don't bite the text and talk a bunch of words, it's just simple and natural, why bother to be elegant! ”

Yang Zi saw that Chrysanthemum was blocked, and knew that his niece's name was not to interfere. Then he said stupidly: "Sister Chrysanthemum, you haven't listened to me yet, why do you know it's not good?" ”

Chrysanthemum said: "I don't care, I've already thought about it, the shallots are called Zhang Ling'er." The name is simple, clear, and comfortable to call, which is also consistent with the delicate and fragrant shallots. You should save the name you want for your nieces in the future. ”

Zhang Yanggan laughed and said: "This name is good, like Sister Chrysanthemum's style, then call it Zhang Ling'er." ”

Zhang Dazhuan and He were also very satisfied, the name of the chestnut completely shocked them, and they didn't know whether it was good or bad, and it was decided for the sake of trusting the youngest son; But the name of the shallot is indeed as Chrysanthemum said, it is very comfortable to listen to, and his granddaughter is a spiritual person at a glance, and it is quite good to call Ling'er.

Zhang Yang ignored the chestnut and smiled at him, stuffed him to Huaizi, then leaned over to pick up the shallot, and said excitedly: "Our family has not had a woman for many years." Niece, you're a baby! ”

Before he could say a word, He scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about?" Is your mother not a woman? Your sister-in-law is not a woman? When we don't count? ”

Zhang Yang hurriedly smiled: "I'm talking about a female baby." I've wanted a sister for a long time, but I never expected it, and now I have a niece. ”

Shallot just woke up, and she was in a good mood, but she didn't recognize her life. Because the room was warm and she had just gotten up, Chrysanthemum didn't help her put on her little jacket, so her little arm kept pulling, and somehow, she grabbed the square scarf on Zhang Yang's head, which made her second uncle grin and shouted, "Hello!" Shallot, that can't be pulled, the second uncle's hair is all pulled apart. ”

The little girl understood it, and she didn't let go, and the crisp laughter spread all over the house, causing the chestnuts to laugh too.

He stepped forward to break his granddaughter's hand, and kept nagging Zhang Yang in her mouth, her hand was very fast, and she didn't hesitate to grab money and things later, Zhang Huai also looked at her daughter proudly and smiled.

Yang Zi was not only not embarrassed, but also happily amused with shallots, and the room was full of laughter.

Chrysanthemum saw that they were all surrounded by shallots, so she hugged the chestnut and went back to the room to feed. Because of the second uncle's eccentricity, this kid finally ate his mother's milk to his heart's content, and the shallots were fed by Aunt Liu.

Because she said that she would call the Zheng family to come over for dinner in the evening, Chrysanthemum took Aunt Liu and Grape to be busy in the kitchen, and asked He to talk to her youngest son. He ironed in his heart, and after some resignation, he stayed in the hall, rooted in the pile of children and grandchildren, and enjoyed his family in peace.

The youngest son is back, and this year there are more people, the courtyard of the Zhang family is very lively, even the dog barks very happily, and the atmosphere of the smell of meat in the yard is like the New Year, and Zheng Changhe and his son and others are called to come over, laugh with Yang Zi, and there is a commotion in the hall.

Who knew that before it was time to eat, the five sons of Li Changyu's side came to invite him sweatingly, saying that Master Zhou asked Zhang Yang to go to the village school quickly, and he had something urgent to say.

Zhang Dazhuan said: "I was just about to say that I would like to invite the master to come to dinner in the evening." Yang Zi, if you go, please invite the master to come with you, so that your brother can run again. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, handed the shallots in his hand to He—he had been holding his niece, and he was really eccentric—turned his head and asked Wuzi, "What did the master say?" ”

Wuzi shook his head and said, "It's not good." It was the second young master who asked the little one to come, saying that the master was waiting for Zhang Xiucai, Zhao Xiucai, Liu Xiucai and other Xiucai masters to speak. Master Zhang went over first, and the little one had to go to Zhao Xiucai's house for a run. After saying that, he hurriedly gave a salute and went out again.

Zhang Yang frowned, feeling a little uneasy, turned back to his family and said, "If I come back late, my father and Uncle Zheng will eat first, and you don't have to wait for me." It's all a family, don't talk about those false tricks, just leave me some food. I just ate it, and I'm not too hungry! ”

Aoki smiled, "Who's hungry?" It's just that you're more lively. Go quickly, invite the master to come along, I haven't seen him for a few days, or call him to come for a meal on the day of the pig killing. ”

Zhang Dazhuan nodded, and also urged his son to go and come back quickly.

So Zhang Yang turned around and left, but He Shi came out of the room, took a new jacket in his hand, asked him to take off his coat, put it inside, and then let him out.

Zhang Yang went, but he didn't delay for long, and he came back half an hour later. His face was not very good, a subordinate of the Li family followed him, helped him hold a small wooden box, went into the house and put it down, Zhang Yang motioned to Zhang Huai to give him a few pennies, and then sent him away.

Huaizi looked at his younger brother's face and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Yang Zi, why didn't the master come? ”

Aoki and the others also looked at him.

Zhang Yang sighed and said, "The master is gone." ”

The room was stunned - the news was so sudden that there was no warning beforehand, so everyone couldn't react for a while.

After a while, Aoki asked, "Where has the master gone?" Isn't he without relatives, where else can he go? The New Year is coming in a few days, this wax moon is barren, it is cold outside, his old man is old again, what can he do if he turns around and gets sick? Besides, it's getting dark outside, and even if he has something urgent to leave, he should wait until tomorrow morning to leave, and we can send him off. ”

Zhang Dazhuan and others also reacted, and asked one after another, complaining that Yang Zi should not let Zhou Fuzi go out on a cold night.

Zhang Yang himself was upset, and when he saw them rushing up, he hurriedly shook his hand and said vaguely: "Master...... There are still relatives at home, and he has something urgent to leave immediately, and it is inconvenient for us to stop him. Don't worry, there is a carriage to pick up, and when you go to Xiatangji, you will change boats, and they are all arranged. Dad, don't ask, can I still drive my master away? ”

Everyone was stunned again - there were relatives in the master's family? Then he has been teaching alone in Qingnan Village for so many years, why hasn't a single relative come to visit him? So he turned his puzzled gaze to Zhang Yang again.

Zhang Yang was anxious to send them away, so that he could make time to think about some things, so he said solemnly: "You don't have to ask about this matter again, the master has his own ideas, how can he explain them to you one by one?" Even a few of us, we didn't understand it very much, and we didn't dare to ask more. In short, if anyone asks you about this, he will say that the Master has gone home, and there is no need to say anything else. ”
