(131) The cosy life of the town

After casually turning a few pages, Daniel Zhang put down the manuscript and said with a smile: "It's okay to look at, but the pace is too slow, young people may not like it." How have you been doing lately? Dr. Zeng said that your body is recovering well, and the congenital meridian problems have improved significantly, how do you feel? ”

Zhang Xuewen nodded and said, "It's okay, I feel more energetic, not as tired as before." It's just that my body is dragging my feet, and I can't do anything, so my mother and Qiuyue suffer. ”

Daniel Zhang said with a smile: "If your health is better, then you should hurry up, the second aunt was urging her sister-in-law just now." My sister-in-law was also very uncomfortable, there was too much gossip around her, and she suffered a lot of grievances. ”

Zhang Xuewen was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "What about you, how is this exam?" Is it dragging its feet again? ”

Daniel Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "You guessed wrong this time, I am advancing ten places this time, and strive to enter the top ten in the whole grade next school year." With the admission rate of the second middle school, the top 10 results should be able to mix with a junior college. I don't have much talent for reading, but I can be satisfied if I can go to a junior college. ”

Zhang Xuewen shook his head and couldn't cry or laugh: "You are really born in happiness and don't know blessings, if the uncle hears that you said this, he will definitely have to beat you again." But the specialty is not bad, much better than my brother and me. If it weren't for Dr. Zeng, it would be estimated that the grass on the grave would be a foot high. ”

Daniel Zhang said sarcastically: "I can't help it, he forced me to read just to catch ducks on the shelves." If you are in good health, you will definitely be able to get into university. Raise your body for a few more years, give birth to a child, and then take the time to review and review, maybe you can also go to a normal training or something. ”

Zhang Xuewen smiled and said: "I don't expect this, how old will I be by then, how can anyone be admitted to university at the age of thirty, then it will really become Fan Jinzhongju." I know they call me a nerd, but nerds aren't out of business. My mom is getting older, and I can't rest assured. ”

Daniel Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense, they are all jealous of your iron rice bowl." This kind of bad atmosphere in our town likes to pass on the short things in the family. I tried to arrange my sister-in-law in the county, just to make it easier to take care of the family, you have to hurry. ”

Zhang Xuewen smiled helplessly: "How old are you, just follow my mother to worry about it." You can just listen to my mother's words, don't take it seriously. Giving birth to a child is all about fate, and you can't force it. ”

Daniel Zhang sighed: "Anyway, I'll just bring the words, you can watch it." My sister-in-law lives in my house in the county, and the boss is my neighbor, so you can rest assured. Come over on the weekend when you have time, and I'll keep a room for you. There was a bus on the weekend and it was easy to come and go. ”

Zhang Xuewen said gratefully: "Thank you so much for this, I don't even know what to say." She is far away, and the family is not at ease, it is just right in the county, with you to take care of me, I have no worries. ”

Daniel Zhang said politely: "No need to say thank you, we are brothers." My dad said before he got out of the car that I should take the time to come and see and try to help. ”

The brothers stayed in the study until they ate and chatted a lot. Daniel Zhang is a jack-of-all-trades, knows a little about everything, and is particularly good at finding topics. Even a young man like Zhang Xuewen, who is obsessed with literature, can talk happily, and he admires himself a little.

Wu Qiuyue and Aunt Zhang made a large table of dishes, which were specially used to entertain Daniel Zhang. Although Daniel Zhang was very embarrassed, he was not polite to move, and he stuffed a lot of nonsense. Zhang Xuewen eats a small amount, and after eating, he accompanies him with a teacup and chats about some gossip in the town by the way.

After eating, Daniel Zhang returned to his small courtyard to continue his work, and he still had a lot of summer homework to do. When I was in Jiangyuan, I fell a lot, and after returning to Yunshan, I hurried up to make up for it, and this time I went back to Zizhu Town to worship my ancestors, and I had a lot of free time, so I just did more, so as not to be embarrassed when school started.

The pressure of this summer vacation homework is the biggest in recent years, in addition to the school assignment, there is also the tutoring progress required by Bai Zhixuan, and the exercise papers given by Chen Li. He is now in pain and happy, although he feels very helpless, but he can only concentrate on improving his academic performance.

From the next day, Daniel Zhang prepared the sacrificial things during the day, sorted out and dried his grandfather's old books at the same time, and made up homework at night, and the time schedule was relatively full. Classmate Liu Wei asked him to play with him before the holiday, but he is not free for the time being, so he can only wait until the end of the sacrifice.

Daniel Zhang's grandfather left a lot of old books, and the content is very miscellaneous, I don't know where he got it. Daniel Zhang only knew that the old man was not highly educated, but he especially admired cultured people, so he liked to collect books and vassal elegance, so he left a lot of various ancient books.

These books filled two whole rooms, and every time Daniel Zhang dried books, he was too tired. Since discovering the cheats in these books last year, he has become very careful. He had to carefully classify each book, for fear that he would miss any rare books.

Last year, Daniel Zhang discovered more than one or two martial arts secret books, and there were many relatively low-end martial arts maps, such as the Taizu Long Fist and Panlong Stick that he was going to give to Zhao Yunfei. These two kinds of martial arts are rotten on the street, whether in the library or in the bookstore, they are relatively easy to find.

But if you want to say that the atlas of the two martial arts is completely disassembled, it is unique here. Both books are manuscripts and appear to be at least a hundred years old. Aside from his own content value, just books can be sold at a good price according to antiques, so Daniel Zhang is quite reluctant.

But considering that the inheritance of martial arts still requires some sense of ritual, and having these ancient books can improve credibility, so he can't be too stingy. In the future, Zhao Yunfei went out to accept apprentices, and with such an ancient book to press the field, what he said could be more convincing.

Wu Qiuyue didn't have anything to do at home, and came over to help Daniel Zhang when she had time. Daniel Zhang had to dry ancient books and prepare sacrificial things, and he was too busy to be idle. It was much better to have Wu Qiuyue's help, and some errands could be done by her, saving him a lot of time.

The sacrifice was held in the ancestral hall of the hometown in Zhangwan Village, but the ancestral hall only prepared the items for the public sacrifice, and the things in each house were prepared by themselves. Zhang Xuewen's things have long been prepared, and Daniel Zhang is rushing to work, and all kinds of fragrant paper money and white paper baggage need to be completed by hand.

After nearly a week of busy work, Daniel Zhang basically got the things that should be prepared. It is much better to have Wu Qiuyue's help, Daniel Zhang Sheng has a lot of time, you can also listen to foreign language tapes, use your mobile phone to make phone porridge with Bai Zhixuan, and life is still very comfortable.

Zizhu Town is in a remote ravine, there is only one mobile phone base station nearby, and the mobile phone signal is very poor not long after it was established. Every time Daniel Zhang called, he had to run to the vicinity of the base station and circle around the base station to make calls, which became a strange scene in the town.
