Chapter 164: Family Affair Continued
"Is it that the master and Xin'er are back? I'm back at this hour, but I'm eating." Zhang Liu, who is also the wife of Zhang's shopkeeper, hurriedly got up and asked after seeing their father and son come back.
Zhang Liu looked like a woman of thirty-five or sixteen, dressed in a light blue brocade cotton skirt, with a silver hairpin on her head, and her hair bun was pulled up high, which made her more elegant and gentle.
After seeing his husband and son come back, he had a faint smile on his face, calm and gentle, which made people feel special comfort and a sense of home.
Now just at the end of the day, Zhang Liu and Zhang Xin's grandmother Zhang Wen and little sister Zhang Miao are eating in the hall.
"Grandma, mother, little sister, my father and I haven't eaten yet? I'm dying of hunger." Zhang Xin sat on a stool, looked at a table of dishes, and swallowed his saliva.
Early in the morning, I was busy in Xiangmanlou, and I was going to have lunch in Xiangmanlou just now, but the person who was sent by my father said that there was an urgent matter and I wanted to go back by myself.
"Well, mother, ma'am". Shopkeeper Zhang nodded.
"Daddy, brother". After the friendly greeting of the family, they sat down.
"Xiao Xu, you go and get two pairs of dishes and chopsticks for the old master and the young master." Zhang Wen's looked about fifty years old, a brown brocade jacket embroidered with rich flowers was slightly more serious than Zhang Wen's, plus the meticulous hair, which was held by a hosta, which made Zhang Wen's somewhat stern appearance.
After Zhang Wen saw his son and grandson come back together, he smiled on his face and greeted the shopkeeper Zhang and their father and son.
"Ahem, ahem". After eating a short meal, Shopkeeper Zhang coughed slightly.
The voice is low and inaudible, if it weren't for the Zhang Liu family sitting next to the shopkeeper Zhang who was very close, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hear it? .
Zhang Liu raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper Zhang.
Coincidentally, Shopkeeper Zhang looked up and glanced back at Zhang Liu's with deep meaning in his eyes.
Suddenly, Zhang Liu also noticed another hot gaze.
Zhang Liu often looked at him and saw his son showing a flattering smile at him.
Zhang Liu's heart couldn't help but move, thinking of what his own family said to him some time ago.
Immediately, Zhang Liu had a plan in his heart and said to Zhang Wen, "Mother, daughter-in-law will serve you a bowl of soup to drink."
"Well, good".
"Mother, Xin'er is not young now, shouldn't we also tell him about others, let him become this family as soon as possible, let's rest assured, you can also hold your great-grandson as soon as possible, let's be so happy?" After Zhang Liu brought the soup to Zhang Wen's hand, he said to Zhang Wen with a smile.
"Well, what the daughter-in-law said is that Xin'er is fifteen years old, it's time to talk about people, Xin'er, do you have a girl you like, grandma went to ask the matchmaker to tell you about it." After Zhang Wen's heard Zhang Liu's words, his grandson was at the age of saying goodbye, Zhang Wen's smiled and asked Zhang Xin.
"Milk, it's okay if it's a girl from that family." After Zhang Xin heard his grandmother ask him if he didn't have a favorite girl, Zhang Xin hurriedly asked with bright eyes.
"Xin'er, you have taken a fancy to that girl, tell grandma, however, we are not powerful people, as long as the girl's character and family are suitable, grandma will be as you want." Zhang Wen looked at Zhang Xin's eager appearance, and knew that he was afraid that Zhang Xin had a favorite family.
"The girl that Niang Xin'er likes, I'm afraid it's the family that the master told me a few days ago."
"Oh, it's that family, tell your mother?".
"This daughter-in-law is not easy to say, I also know only a few words from the master's mouth, the lord has been in contact with that girl a few times, presumably the master knows better than me? Let the master tell his mother."
"Aoyama has been in contact with the girl Xin'er likes, isn't this going to show up every day." When Zhang Wen heard this, he immediately frowned and became a little unhappy.
"Here's how it ........" Shopkeeper Zhang told him about his contact with the sisters of the Liu family one by one.
Of course, this is just a good thing to say.
"No, I don't agree with this marriage, let's not say that the Liu family is not worthy of us, just their Liu family is a few women and children, and the younger siblings in the family are still young, in case Xin'er and the girl of the Liu family get married.
After that, Xin'er doesn't always have to take care of the Liu family and help the Liu family, won't this drag down our Xin'er, and again, the Liu family's elders will be ...... in the near future, won't this make our Xin'er wait for three years, and by then, Xin'er will be eighteen years old. When Zhang Wen heard Shopkeeper Zhang's words, he immediately shook his head and refused.
"Milk, why is Yisa not worthy of our family, but their family has also built a two-in-out blue brick house? The fifth brother of the Liu family also learned the art of medicine with the old man in the town of Derentang, and the seven langs of the Liu family entered the school.
In the future, when they grow up, what will the Liu family look like? Maybe our family is a climber? Also, the restaurant run by my father last year had nearly twice as much business as in previous years, and there was still the credit of the Liu family? The spiced melon seeds, sweet melon seeds, spicy melon seeds and peanuts in our restaurant are all provided to us by the Liu family, as well as the fish and birds in winter, all of which are caught by the Liu family and supplied to us. Zhang Wen's face showed disbelief.
Zhang Xin was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly called his father to testify.
"Well, what Xin'er said is true." After Shopkeeper Zhang saw Zhang Wen looking at him, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly replied with certainty.
"It's still not working, grandma still doesn't agree."
"Grandma......". Zhang Xin saw that his grandmother was a little oil and salt, and shouted anxiously on the side.
"Xin'er". Zhang Liu shouted at Zhang Xin slightly, and after giving Zhang Xin a look, Zhang Xin suddenly quieted down.
"Mother, after listening to the words of the master and Xin'er, since the Liu family sold things to the restaurant we operated, the business of the restaurant we run has been rising, maybe the girl of the Liu family is very lucky.
Maybe, if we marry the girl of the Liu family, the girl will be able to prosper, and our family will be able to have a smooth sail and a wide range of financial resources in the future?
Also, my mother and daughter-in-law have also heard that girls in the countryside are easy to give birth to? Maybe after Xin'er marries back, she will be able to extend the heirs of the Zhang family? Our family has been passed down for four generations, maybe the girl of the Liu family has this blessing, and it is also the luck of our family's Xin'er? ”。
