In the half month after the engagement banquet, everything was calm.

If it weren't for the Tang family sending someone to report the funeral, Zhang Jiao would have almost forgotten that Tang Ao was actually a seriously ill person with a short time left.

The day after receiving the news, Zhang Jiao changed into plain clothes and went to Tang's house with her aunt.

The Tang family's house is a three-entry quadrangle.

The mourning hall is located in the main hall of the second courtyard, and the left and right wings are used as rest areas for receiving guests.

Before stepping into the mourning hall, Zhang Jiao saw Tang Huan, whose eyes were red and wearing white linen, stood there straight, bowing to the guests who came to burn incense and worship from time to time.

Chu Yan also stood beside him with red and swollen eyes, bowing and thanking him together.

Zhang Jiao followed behind her aunt, took the three incense sticks handed by the person on the side, solemnly pinched them in her hand, and bowed three times reverently.

After the incense was inserted into the incense burner in front of the statue, several people came to Tang Yun and Chu Yan.

Zhang Yun said slightly apologetically: "Xiaochan couldn't be contacted for a while when she went on a business trip, so she couldn't come over to make incense." ”

Tang Yun shook his head, he could understand Chu Chan's working environment, "It's okay, Auntie." Xiaochan is doing the right thing, and my dad won't blame her. You and your uncle should go and sit over there first! ”

He pointed to the wing room on the left, and asked people to lead Chu Ting and Zhang Yun over to rest.

Zhang Jiao took two steps behind and stopped in front of the two, she reached out and patted Tang Yun's shoulder, "Mourn!" Take care! ”

She still remembered that when she was a child, every time she mentioned Tang Ao, Tang Yun's eyes flashed, and he loved his father very much. Tang Ao should be very sad now.

"I know, don't worry about me." Tang Yu nodded.

Zhang Jiao pursed her lips, not quite believing his words.

She looked at Chu Yan again, leaned over and hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "Take good care of yourself and take care of your body." ”

Chu Yan understood what she meant, and also replied in a low voice, "Okay, I must focus on my body." ”

Zhang Jiao sighed, these two people are pretending to be here, but she can't help it, she can't persuade them at all.

At the end of the funeral, both Tang Yun and Chu Yan lost a lot of weight, and Zhang Yun was very distressed.

From time to time, they will call them back for dinner, and they will specially ask them to stew a pot of nourishing chicken soup.

Zhang Jiao can occasionally get a dip, just like today.

And today there is one more person in the family.

"Big brother! When did you get back? Zhang Jiao was very surprised to see Chu Kuo sitting and watching TV in the living room, she hadn't seen Chu Kuo for more than a year, "How are you doing abroad?" Are there any new results? ”

She sat next to Chu Kuo up and down, and kept asking about his current situation.

Chu Kuo turned off the TV, and impatiently bent two fingers and tapped on her forehead, "Why are you still so reckless, and you still talk so much." No growth at all. ”

Zhang Jiao guarded the door of her head, beware of him knocking a second time, pursed her mouth and complained, "Some people are quite progressive, they stay outside for more than a year and don't go home, and when they come back, they will find their sister to vent their anger." ”

"When did I not come home for a year? It's obvious that some people are not at home, so they don't see me! Do your best to arrange people. ”

Okay, this is Zhang Jiao's loss, Chu Kuo returned to Hong Kong City during the Spring Festival last year, and even stayed at home for a long time, but Zhang Jiao will be in Collin County.

Zhang Jiao's heart is weak, and she no longer grasps this point. "Are you done with this? Can't get out yet? ”

Chu Kuo nodded, after he went out last year, he not only broadened his horizons, but also discovered new business opportunities.

I came up with the idea of establishing my own company overseas, and I was struggling for half a year.

Originally, when Chu Yan was engaged, he should have come forward as the eldest brother, but there was a serious problem in the company at that time, and he couldn't get out of it at all, and he couldn't play the role of his brother.

He's pretty guilty.

Coincidentally, Zhang Jiao also felt that he was not doing something right.

"Okay, then have you apologized to Yanyan and Senior Brother Tang? It's your fault this time, as the eldest brother, not only did you not attend the engagement banquet, but you didn't even catch up with Uncle Tang's funeral.

Tell me, are you guilty or not? Zhang Jiao pointed at Chu Kuo's heart and asked him to ask himself.

Chu Kuo: "...... Sorry! It's a shame! I have come back this time and brought them an apology, and I will definitely show my best sincerity to try to obtain their forgiveness. ”

Zhang Jiao's eyes were strange, "Why do I think you're teasing me?" ”

Chu Yan came down from upstairs with a smile, she had been watching the excitement for a long time, "You just found out?" Why do I think you've been getting worse and worse lately? Is it possible to get Alzheimer's disease in advance? ”

The eldest brother actually came back when she was engaged and even when Tang Yu and his father died, but he arrived in Hong Kong City very late, met in a hurry, and soon went back again.

Zhang Jiao didn't live with them, and no one thought of mentioning it, so she didn't know anything about it, and thought that Chu Kuo really hadn't come back.

But in Chu Yan's opinion, even if the eldest brother really can't come back, she can understand the difficulty of the eldest brother's career at the beginning, and she won't blame him for this incident at all.

"You're not good at it! I'm smart. What about Tang Yu? Seeing her coming down alone, Zhang Jiao asked.

Chu Yan Shi Ran sat beside her, "He has something to do, he can't come back today!" ”

I told her about the big brother who came back before.

"So you're going to gang up to bully me?"

Zhang Jiao pouted unhappily, wrapped her hands around her chest, and hugged herself aggrievedly, "I don't know anything about the eldest brother's return, hum, I'm not happy!" ”

Chu Yan and Chu Kuo glanced at each other, pulled her up together, and one of them carried her by one arm and dragged her to the restaurant, pressing her to the first seat, "Don't be angry, let me drink the first bowl of chicken soup today." ”

"Who is rare!" Zhang Jiaohu looked at Chu Yan suspiciously, and then at Chu Kuo, "Oh, I know, you must have given it to me because you didn't want to drink today's soup!" ”

Chu Yan's expressions were really uncomfortable, and they didn't dare to look at Zhang Jiao. One looked up at the ceiling, the other looked down and counted the number of tiles.

Zhang Jiao snorted, she knew it!

"So why don't you drink it?"

Chu Yan quietly looked into the kitchen, and then crept outside the restaurant to listen to the movement, and saw that no one was there, so she returned to Zhang Jiao's side, "Today's soup was stewed by my mother's own hands." ”

Zhang Jiao: "! ”

She stood up suddenly, "What, Zhiyuan went to the martial arts gym to fight today, this is the point, I have to pick up Zhiyuan home, I'll go first!"

Big brother, I'll come to see you tomorrow, I can't be empty today! ”

Before she lifted her foot, she was held down by one of her brothers and sisters, "Don't you want to escape!" Death to death, everyone dies together! ”

Obviously, everyone knows Zhang Yun's cooking skills, how can they easily let go of any relatives who can share it.

Zhang Jiao made a bitter face, "My aunt didn't mention this matter at all when she called me!" ”

Chu Kuo hit the nail on the head and said, "If you want to mention it, can you still come?" ”

Zhang Jiao shook her head.

Chu Yan followed closely, "That's it, everyone knows this truth, and of course my mother knows it." ”

Zhang Jiao held her cheek with one hand, "So why is my aunt interested in stewing soup again today?" Can any of you tell me. ”

"It's all to blame on Big Brother!"

"It's all Yanyan's fault!"

Chu Yan and Chu Kuo denied each other, and accused each other, and then quarreled without saying a word.

"If you hadn't lost weight, how would your mother have made soup?"

"Why don't you say that you came back suddenly, and Mom felt sorry for you to suffer outside, so she gave you the stewed soup?"

……

The bell in the living room rang a few times, but neither the quarrel nor the bystanders heard it.

Zhang Jiao changed her hands to support her face, and couldn't help sighing, whether it was because Chu Yan became thinner or because Chu Kuo went home, it had nothing to do with her!

Why should she suffer?

Chu Kuo: "Who made you my sister!" ”

Chu Yan: "Who made you my sister!" ”

Zhang Jiao: "...... Okay, it's a blessing to have a big brother and sister like you! ”

"Oo———oo

"Ako! Ako! Where are you? Come on, get me to the hospital! Zhang Yun shouted loudly as he rushed downstairs.

Chu Kuo didn't make a fuss anymore, and hurriedly walked out, "Mom, I'm here." What happened to you? What are you doing in the hospital? ”

"It's your sister, it's Xiaochan, she was pushed down the stairs when she was chasing the prisoner and was sent to the hospital. Drive me there! Zhang Yun anxiously explained in the shortest words.

When Chu Kuo heard that it was so serious, he was also anxious, "Okay, you wait for me, I'll go drive!" ”

Chu Yan and Zhang Jiao just walked to Zhang Yun's side, and suddenly looked at each other tacitly, someone drank the soup stewed by their mother/aunt!

Chu, the big head, the cicada suddenly felt cold: "......" someone wants to calculate me!
