2. The Old Huang Family (1)
Once again, quietly running the meridians of his legs and face, keeping his body balance and the smile on his face unchanged, Huang Chang has maintained this sitting posture and expression for more than half an hour - the key is that his mother has been staring at him.
What kind of attention the mother who hasn't seen for ten years will pay attention to her son, Huang Chang has now completely appreciated it - as long as he moves a little, the mother will ask this and that with great concern, no way, let's not move.
There have been a lot of changes in the family, the first thing is that the parents are obviously old. I haven't seen him for ten years, and when I say goodbye, it's very different from my impression, although Huang Chang has been prepared, he is still full of emotion. Fortunately, he prepared Kunlun Xiantao, and he will finally be able to recover one or two by then.
Of course, the family looked at him the same - from an eleven-year-old child to a twenty-one-year-old sturdy young man, even his father, who had always wanted to save face, couldn't help but burst into tears when they met again, and his mother was even more tearful and her face never did. But it's more of a joy because growth and aging are two different concepts entirely.
The number of people in the family has also increased considerably. When he first went up the mountain, there were only seven people in his family, and his brothers and sisters did everything by themselves. And now, there are more than ten people waiting in this living room alone, and the mother, who has always been diligent, has finally begun to get used to supporting her subordinates to work - I think she was also a young lady from a big family back then, but since she married into the old Huang family, she has been living a hard life, and it was not until Huang Chang worshiped Kunlun Mountain that it gradually changed.
The eldest brother Huang Yang and the second sister Huang Xin are both married, but they have no children yet, and they have not been separated to live, but live with their families. It's normal to live with his parents as the eldest son, but the situation of the second sister is a bit special - Huang Xin's husband Feng Ziming is the son of Huang's father's old friend who was a classmate back then, and it was originally a good well-off family. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the area where their home was located was plagued by demons, although they were later quelled by the Taoist officials and Jianghu monks sent by the imperial court, but the entire village and town had almost died, and the place had also turned into an evil domain, and the few survivors who remained no longer dared to live there.
In desperation, Feng Ziming, who was only a teenager at the time, had to follow his father's deathbed will and come to his old friend with a token. Huang's father took him in, named a student, but he was actually an adopted son, which was three years after Huang Chang worshiped Kunlun Mountain. So he only knew from the letter that his father had taken in a student, but he didn't know that his father was very satisfied with the student, so he simply recruited him as a son-in-law.
When Huang Chang heard this experience, he paid more attention to the interaction between Feng Ziming and Huang Xin, and even quietly felt their state of mind with his divine thoughts-he had seen too many such jokes in places like Zhihu Tianya in his previous life: Great Grace Turns Against Revenge. I feel that I am benevolent and righteous here, but I always feel depressed on the other side. I owe too much to others and can't pay it back, and the taste of being pressed on my head by my wife for a lifetime is uncomfortable. After that, it will either turn into domestic violence, or simply do things outside the mouth, which is not a good thing in any case.
However, it seems that there is no such sign at present, the second sister and the second brother-in-law are getting along quite well, in Huang Chang's spiritual sense, the mood of the two is quite peaceful, and they can indeed feel the mutual love between husband and wife.
The fourth brother Huang Xu, who was not at home, was complained about by his mother, saying that this kid is getting more and more out of the way now, and he has been learning martial arts with the nursing home for a few days, and he is messing around in the city.
The head of the family has said it many times, but they can't control him, the key is that this world is too chaotic. The Huang family used to be called no way, but now that it has a little foundation, it is inevitable that it will be considered more thoughtfully-Huang's father himself is just a weak scholar, and the eldest son and second son-in-law all followed him to learn literature, and now they are also working in the county guard's office. And in this world, since the family size has expanded, there must always be someone who learns martial arts to protect the family.
Huang Chang wrote back several times on Kunlun Mountain, and also suggested that it was best to let the fourth brother take the path of martial arts. The cost of learning martial arts was huge, and the Huang family couldn't support it before, so Huang Chang made a special trip to send a sum of money back. On the one hand, it is to hire a nursing master, and on the other hand, it is to train the fourth brother to practice martial arts.
Now it seems that the head of the family still does what he asks, of course, the effect is probably not too good - with the current status of the Huang family, they can't afford to hire any famous teachers, it's nothing more than an ordinary martial artist who is old and tired, tired of the life of the rivers and lakes, and wants to settle down, please ask one or two for at home, on the one hand, take care of the family, and on the other hand, teach Huang Xu some basics by the way.
But you only need to teach the basics - when Huang Chang goes home, he will naturally take over in person, and he has great expectations for the fourth child.
So even though my mother was foaming at the mouth and said that the fourth Huang Xu was useless, Huang Chang just laughed and listened. On the contrary, Father Huang next to him couldn't listen to it a little, and muttered in a low voice:
"It's not that bad, at least your family's business, if it weren't for the A-Xu brothers, it wouldn't be so stable in this city. ”
Then this sentence immediately provoked Huang Mu's counterattack:
"What about your family, our family? It's as if our old Huang family doesn't have a part in those shops! Didn't my father and mother say earlier, half of those shops are my dowry, if you have the ability to run them, take over them yourself! Or don't use the money over there at all!"
The words with a gun and a stick fully reflected the strength of the hostess of the house, and Father Huang suddenly shrank his head and did not speak. Huang Chang hurriedly said a few good words next to him, took the topic over, and also grasped more details by the way.
——As the momentum of their old Huang family's gradual rise became clearer, the Chen family, the mother's mother, also paid more and more attention to this relative. In today's world, collusion between officials and businessmen is not considered a bad thing, but rather a matter of course. Huang's father had a position in the county guard's office, so it was natural for him to shelter a certain size of business.
The Chen family could only operate in the surrounding towns, but now, in the name of Huang's father, they also have the qualifications to open a business in Baonan City. As the capital of the county, the business atmosphere and profits here are certainly much higher than those of the surrounding areas. However, correspondingly, if there is no certain power in the underworld and the white road, it is difficult to gain a foothold.
Huang's father's status can only ensure that the people in the official face do not go to those shops to trouble, but the underworld scoundrels who will inevitably breed in the city must rely on the merchants' own skills to deal with them - with fists, or with silver, it is fine.
