After two hours of tossing and turning, bypassing the winding road, Daniel Zhang and Wu Qiuyue finally returned to Zizhu Town. got off at the small station at the entrance of the town, and the two walked to their hometown house with their luggage. The two of them are small back-to-back yards, the legacy of the older generation.

The area of Zizhu Town is not large, it is the intersection of four streets in the middle, and the whole town is divided into four parts. The whole town is relatively quaint, with two-story wooden buildings facing the street, and a bluestone paved road in the middle, everything still maintains the rhythm of life decades ago.

Coming here, Daniel Zhang felt that he had returned to the ancient society, and many things were not related to modern times. There is no bustle and noise in the small town, leaving a quiet and quiet environment, which is very suitable for cultivation and practice. Every time he comes back here he feels very comfortable and a little lingering.

Daniel Zhang's small courtyard has been around for almost a hundred years, and it is already an ancient building according to time. If it is in a large city, these buildings will be preserved or even developed into tourist areas. But not in Zizhu Town, because most of the houses on the street are like this, and no one is more expensive than the other.

Wu Qiuyue first helped Daniel Zhang deliver things to the small yard left by his grandfather, and then returned to his yard through the back door. The two courtyards are back to back, with the back door connected, which was left by the brothers of their ancestors when they were building the house. As a result, the two families have been in contact for a long time and have a relatively close relationship.

The yard is not large, covering an area of one or two hundred square meters, facing the street is three houses, and there is a small courtyard with a patio. There are wings on the left and right of the small courtyard, and there are utility rooms in the main house and backyard at the back. The whole area is not small, and a large family can live, and Daniel Zhang's father was born and raised here.

Daniel Zhang first put things in the front yard hall and then began to clean up. He came to stay for two days during the Qingming Festival, and he didn't come for a few months, and there was dust everywhere inside and outside the house. He's going to stay here for a week or two, and he's going to have to clean it well, or he won't be able to live there.

He can't clean all the houses by himself, so he can only clean the places that can be used, and the rest can only be done together when his parents come back for the Chinese New Year. The hall in the front yard, the living room, bedroom, and study in the main house in the back, as well as the two houses where the grandfather's old books are stored, the courtyard and the kitchen, etc., are a lot of work.

Daniel Zhang was busy alone, he first cleaned the kitchen, boiled water to make tea, and then continued to work on the back. He was busy until almost noon, and he was only halfway done. He has to continue to work in the afternoon, otherwise he will not be able to live well at night.

He washed his hands and prepared to go out first to find a place to eat. Restaurants in the town are only open for meals, and they close after meals, so you have to hurry. He was just about to go out, when there was a sound of the door opening from the back door, and when he looked back, it was Wu Qiuyue who came over, holding a big bowl in his hand.

She smiled and said, "Ah Sheng, my mother didn't know that I was back, and I didn't buy vegetables at home, so I had to make noodles for you, and you can make do with a meal first." I'll go to the market and buy some groceries, and you can come over for dinner in the evening." ”

Daniel Zhang took the big bowl, saw that there was an egg on it, and said with a smile: "I was saying to find a place to eat noodles, you sent it." It just so happens that I'm also saving trouble. ”

Carrying the bowl back to the living room, Daniel Zhang sat down to eat noodles, and Wu Qiuyue watched quietly beside him, his eyes full of affection. She now sees Daniel Zhang more and more pleasant, compared with her husband, she feels that the gap between the two is too big, and her heart is full of gaps.

Zhang Xuewen is not tall, thin, and wears a pair of glasses, giving him a sense of politeness. In the past, she still thought that this kind of Sven appearance was very handsome, but after all these years of knowledge, she felt that Daniel Zhang's tall and healthy image was what she liked.

Daniel Zhang ate two mouthfuls of noodles, raised his head, and saw Wu Qiuyue staring at him stunned, and wondered: "What's wrong?" Is there anything going on at home? Are my brother and second aunt okay? ”

Wu Qiuyue smiled a little reluctantly: "They are all fine, there is nothing wrong with their bodies." I'm very busy with my academic work, and I'm not idle during the summer vacation, and I'm helping people with some exercises. ”

Daniel Zhang nodded and said, "It's good to be in good health, I see that your face is not quite right, and you think there is something at home?" ”

Wu Qiuyue sighed and said, "It's nothing. My mother, you know, she doesn't like me to go out to work and wants me to stay here. Just now she mentioned this again, saying that she could introduce a temporary worker in the town. I told her about working in Yunshan, and she didn't seem to be very happy. ”

Daniel Zhang comforted: "It's okay, she is an old thought, don't be like her." If I persuade her a few more words at dinner in the evening, it should make sense. In fact, it is not easy for her, she raised my brother alone. You two don't have children so far, and she's anxious. ”

Zhang Xuewen and Wu Qiuyue have been married for several years, but they have never been able to conceive children. Although there is a reason why Wu Qiuyue has been working outside for a long time, the main reason is that Zhang Xuewen's body is not angry. He is a medicine jar, he grew up drinking medicine, and he is much weaker than ordinary people in all aspects.

Wu Qiuyue said in a low voice: "It's not my fault that I don't have children, Xuewen's body is not good, and I can't help it." As far as his body is concerned, he is really in a hurry, and he still can't make a good one? He has been taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zeng for half the year, and he doesn't know if it works. ”

Daniel Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "You have to ask Dr. Zeng about this, he is an old Chinese medicine doctor, my brother has relied on his medicine to continue his life all these years, he should still be sure." If his medicine doesn't work, even if you get my brother to a hospital in the provincial capital, the result may not be ideal. ”

Dr. Zeng's name is Zeng Guoquan, he is seventy or eighty years old, and he is an old Chinese medicine doctor in the town. He used to be a barefoot doctor and later opened a pharmacy. His medical skills are very skillful, and he is very famous in the four miles and eight towns around Zizhu Town, and even people who have given up treatment in the county hospital have made a special trip to seek medical treatment.

Daniel Zhang is very familiar with Zeng Guoquan, and he is also Zeng Guoquan's lifesaver. Few people know that Zeng Guoquan is actually a reclusive martial arts master, good at Xingyi Bagua Boxing, and a master of the inner family. Last year, when Daniel Zhang returned home to worship his ancestors during the summer vacation, he discovered this secret.

Wu Qiuyue couldn't do anything about it, who let her marry a sick man. At that time, he was also young and ignorant, and was confused by Zhang Xuewen's talent in literature, plus he was a public teacher, a rare iron rice bowl in the town, so he agreed to this marriage.

Daniel Zhang Sheng saw her frowning and persuaded: "Be a good wife at home, don't think nonsense." You took good care of my second aunt and my brother, and I won't treat you badly. I'm done here and I'll go to Dr. Zeng's to help you ask about the situation, I hope it can be solved. ”

Wu Qiuyue nodded and said, "I know, you can rest assured about the affairs at home." Do you want someone here, I'll clean up the house and come over to help. ”

Daniel Zhang shook his head and said, "Don't use it today, help me take out the book to dry tomorrow." It's a bit damp in this house, and if you don't take it out to dry it every year, the books will be prone to insects. It's all ancient books, it's been more than a hundred years, you have to be careful, and if you damage any page, you're losing a lot. ”
