Chapter 253 An old friend comes
Baiyan Town, Longtoushan Village.
When Wang Fang took Zhang An and Su Ying to the Wang family yard, the sun was already high in the sky.
It’s just that you may not be very lucky today, because everyone you don’t want to see is there.
However, Wang Fang and Zhang An ignored them and walked directly across the yard towards the old lady.
Although Zhang An's uncles and aunts, who had already fallen out with each other, did not directly stare at Zhang An's family.
But the corner of his eyes was constantly observing Zhang An's family.
On the way here, Zhang An had already told Su Ying the reason in advance.
So Su Ying has long been mentally prepared for what may happen in the yard now.
In the yard, the old lady was picking soybeans with a dustpan. It turned out that they were new beans that had just been recovered from the fields this year.
The old man Wang Shiyan on the side was still the same as before, lying on the recliner and not caring about anything, clicking the big cigarette in his mouth.
"You are here."
Old Mrs. Li Chun'e immediately became happy when she saw her daughter and her family coming.
Hurryly put down the dustpan in his hand and talked to Wang Fang with a smile on his face.
Although the old lady did not know Su Ying and had never seen her before, she saw Su Ying and Zhang An standing together.
For someone of her age, based on past experience, she could guess that the girl in front of her was probably her grandson's target.
"Mom, this is Xiaoying, your grandson's wife. Xiaoying, these are your grandma and grandpa."
Wang Fang pulled Su Ying forward and smiled at the two The old man introduced.
"Grandpa, grandma." Su Ying also followed Zhang An in calling people.
“Hey, good, good girl, she looks like a real sign.”
Although the old lady had already guessed it, she still felt the same after hearing it from her own daughter.
Wang Shiyan just said a faint "hmm" without even thinking about getting up.
Every time Zhang An and his family came over in the past two years, his attitude has improved a lot.
But it’s actually just because every time Zhang An’s family comes over, he brings a bunch of things with him.
Especially since Wang Fang would bring several bottles of wine every time, this was the biggest factor that made Wang Shiyan change his attitude.
After all, this old man is addicted to alcohol. As long as you give him a drink, anything will do.
But just now, the old man opened his eyes and glanced, and found that Zhang An’s family had brought nothing.
How could he talk to Zhang An and his family knowing that he would not get any benefits this time?
But the more he behaves like this, the happier Zhang An becomes, and Zhang An has long been used to this.
It’s okay if he doesn’t speak, but if he does, Zhang An will have to make excuses with him.
"Mom, we came here because we wanted to pick up the family and stay there for a few days."
Without the interruption from Old Man Wang, Wang Fang and Su Ying happily talked to the old lady.
After chatting for a while, Wang Fang told the old lady the purpose of her visit.
"The crops will be harvested soon. Why are we going there? Don't worry about it."
The old lady is still the same as before, not willing to go over and help her daughter's family. trouble.
Besides, the family was about to harvest crops, so she couldn't worry.
"It's different this time. Xiaoan and Xiaoying are getting married in a few days. It's okay for you two old people not to go."
Wang Fang had long known that her old mother would That being said, she was prepared with a backup plan.
"Go, go, my grandson is getting married, I must go."
Sure enough, as soon as the old lady heard that Zhang An was getting married and taking a wife, she immediately agreed.
Mrs. Li Chun'e originally thought that Zhang An and Su Ying were just friends, but she didn't expect that the date had even been set.
"What are you going to do? Why are you going over there when you are so young and causing trouble for others."
The old lady agreed, but Wang Shiyan, a stubborn old man, did not agree.
When Zhang An came just now, he didn't even bring a bottle of his favorite wine, which made him very angry.
When Wang Fang talked about it, he felt that Zhang An's family was begging him to come over.
So he picked up Qiao immediately and scolded Zhang An's grandmother coldly.
"Whether you want to go or not, don't pull me down, no one will tie you up with a rope."
When he was young, the weak-tempered Li Chun'e was a little afraid of Old Man Wang.
But over the past few decades, the old lady's temperament and ideas have slowly changed.
I don’t quarrel with him on weekdays, just because I don’t want others to see the excitement in my house. It doesn’t mean that I am always afraid of him.
"Dad, why don't you stay for two days? You haven't stayed at our house in all these years."
Looking at the two old people arguing, Wang Fang still said.
It's his business if he doesn't go, no one will say anything, but if you don't shout, then others will say you are not good, this is what people say is scary.
Actually, Zhang An doesn't care about other people's opinions, but he still has to think about his old parents at home.
After all, they are different from Zhang An, and their ideas have not changed yet.
"If I don't go, I won't be able to enjoy the happiness in your home. We, the people in the mountains, can't live in your Datianba."
Watching Wang Fang keep talking, Wang Shiyan became more and more certain that Zhang An's family was begging him to go.
So now the gesture of speaking is becoming more and more artificial.
The last few times Zhang An and his family came over, they all brought good wines like Moutai.
And he also knew that Zhang An’s family had made a fortune, and they would definitely get a lot of benefits in the past.
He didn't agree directly because he wanted to save face.
In the past few years, Zhang An has never had a good attitude towards old man Wang Shiyan, and he has always been respectful and insensitive.
Old man Wang has been used to being domineering at home all his life, how can he stand this?
His grandsons all listened to him, but Zhang An, whom he disliked, had a completely different attitude towards him.
He feels that as an elder, even if I don't like you, you still have to be respectful to me.
So he has always been worried about Zhang An.
Although Zhang An called him in the past, he knew that was all.
This time he felt that he could control Zhang An, and he would teach Zhang An a lesson no matter what.
"Mom, let's not force this old man. My grandpa has said before that he will not come to our house again. Don't let my grandpa keep his word."
Looking at Wang Shiyan The old man was getting more and more annoyed with Qiao, acting coyly.
Zhang An didn't tolerate him at all and opened his mouth to block his escape.
Because Zhang An knows that this old man has a very good face, and he will definitely not be able to pull off that old face.
Zhang An didn't like to pick him up at first. If something happened, Zhang An couldn't afford to lose that person.
Wang Shiyan was stunned when he heard Zhang An's words.
According to the normal approach, Zhang An, mother and son, should have begged him sincerely several times.
Then it was almost over. He taught Zhang An a lesson before agreeing.
But he didn’t expect that Zhang An would follow his words as soon as he opened his mouth.
Now even if he wanted to go together, he couldn't open the door.
Now that he understood it, Zhang An didn’t think about picking him up.
"Humph, old woman, you are not allowed to go either. If you go there, there will be no one to cook at home."
Even if he doesn't go, the old woman doesn't want to go.
"Whether you want to go or not, it doesn't matter whether I go or not." Old Mrs. Li Chun'e didn't want to scorn him. Her only grandson was married, so how could she not go.
"No, Grandpa, you have so many sons, but you still can't find a place to eat? Tsk, tsk..."
Wang Shiyan used to talk about his family when he met everyone. No matter how good the sons are, no matter how bad the daughter's family is.
Now Zhang Anke wants to return all these words to him.
Looking at Zhang An's half-smiling, slightly meaningful smile, Wang Shiyan was so angry that he spoke lazily.
And Zhang An’s words were not just for the old man to hear.
By the way, let the people nearby who are pretending to do things in the yard also listen.
At this moment, you can see that the eyes of the families next to them are already staring.
It's a pity that although they couldn't bear to listen, no one stood up and spoke.
Until the end, the old man’s youngest son couldn’t bear it anymore and said that he had provided for the old man’s food.
Then the yard became lively, and many people started beating and scolding the children in the yard.
The scolding was very unpleasant. Zhang An knew that this was not scolding the child, but using excuses to yin and yang him.
Zhang An glanced at the time, it was only ten o'clock noon.
I didn’t want to stay here anymore, so I proposed a return trip.
If we leave now, it will still be noon when we get home, just in time for lunch.
The old lady originally wanted to cook a meal for lunch before leaving, but Zhang An didn't want to eat with the old man.
So after a few words of persuasion, I asked my mother to take the old lady to pack her things and prepare for the return trip.
On the way back, Zhang An was worried that the old lady would get carsick because she rarely took a car, so he drove very slowly.
In the car, the old man kept asking some things about Su Ying.
Originally, based on her appearance, she was quite satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.
I found out later that Su Ying was a college student and now worked as a teacher in the village, and I was even more satisfied.
Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren chatted happily along the way, but Zhang An was the only one who was driving seriously.
When Zhang An arrived home at noon, he saw an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.
We were talking to Mr. Zhang, Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Jianwen in the yard
"Godfather, when did you come back?"
This person is none other than Zhang Anduo My godfather whom I haven’t seen in years, the Taoist from Zizhulin - Zhang Yixing.
If we count from the previous life, we haven’t seen each other for more than thirty years.
At this time, Zhang Yixing looked much older and his hair was starting to turn gray.
The face that Zhang An was familiar with before now also has some wrinkles.
It's normal to think about it. He was already in his fifties when he left.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang and his party should be in their sixties now.
He is still the same as the figure in Zhang An's impression, wearing a blue gown and the bun on his head is still tied up.
It’s just that time has made people grow old, and the blue gown has been washed until it turns white, and the black hair bun that used to be has also turned gray.
"Not long after I came back, Xiao An has grown up. Time flies so fast."
When Zhang Yi was walking, Zhang An was still the frail and skinny little boy. .
Looking now, Zhang An has grown up, taller and stronger than him.
"Old lady, you are here too. I haven't seen her for many years."
Seeing Zhang An's grandmother, Zhang and his party said hello.
"Daozhang Zhang is still so energetic."
Zhang An's family are all familiar with Zhang and his party. Zhang An used to be frail and sick, but thanks to him he saved his life.
"That's not true. You don't even think about how many years you have been out. I should grow up as well."
When Zhang and his party were traveling, Zhang An was only seven or eight years old. .
It was just a blink of an eye, but time flew by for more than ten years.
"Then you won't leave when you come back this time?"
Speaking of which, Zhang Yi Xing was an abandoned baby since he was a child and was picked up and raised by his master.
So Changqing can also be regarded as his hometown.
“I’m not leaving. I’ve been floating outside for so many years and it’s time to settle down. Besides, I’m old and can’t move anymore.”
After hearing Zhang and his party’s answer, Zhang Ann was very happy.
But it is also certain that the trajectory of history will not be the same as it was in previous generations.
Because many years passed in his previous life, Zhang and his party never came back.
Maybe he came back to see it during the trip, but Zhang An didn't know he was there.
But in the end, Zhang and his party did not stay.
"Let me tell you, Yi Xing, you came back in time."
"In a few days, Xiao An will also get married. He is also half of your son. You saw it before I have watched him grow up, and now I can watch him start a family.”
Zhang Jianwen couldn’t help but sigh, as if this was arranged by God.
Zhang An is about to get married. It is a coincidence that Zhang and his party came back at this time after being away for more than ten years.
"Xiao An is getting married?"
Listening to Zhang Jianwen talking about it, Zhang Yi Xing asked in surprise.
He has no children, but Zhang An, his adopted son, is actually almost like his child in his heart.
Now I heard that Zhang An was getting a wife, and I felt very happy.
"Yes, godfather, we are serving wine on the second of next month. This is Su Ying, the daughter-in-law of our old Zhang family."
Zhang An pulled Su Ying to Zhang An again The group introduced, Su Ying followed Zhang An and called "godfather".
"Okay, okay, Xiao An has found a good wife."
Zhang An and Su Ying stood together, who wouldn't say something about the talent and beauty of the girl.
"No wonder I said that I have been feeling so homesick recently. It turns out that Anzi is getting married, hahaha."
What Zhang Yixing said was not an exaggeration at all. During this time, he suddenly felt I miss this place called Changqing.
When I have been floating outside for more than ten years, nothing like this has ever happened.
“Hahaha, this is probably arranged by God.”
After Wang Fang came back, she immediately went into the house and started busy with lunch.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang An also followed him to the kitchen to help.
Not only did Zhang An's grandmother come over today, but Zhang and his party, who had been away for many years, came back.
Wang Fang made this meal more grandly.
The mother and son worked hard for more than an hour and finally made lunch.
“Hey, Xiao An, this wine is made with Polygonatum japonica?”
At the dinner table, Zhang and his party just took a sip of the wine Zhang An poured for him and recognized what kind of wine was in it. of.
At first, when he saw the color of the wine, he thought it was just an ordinary medicinal wine. After drinking it, he realized that it was made from Polygonatum japonica.
Zhang Yixing has studied with his master since he was a child, and is no stranger to the herbs in the mountains.
He is especially familiar with Huang Jing. When Mr. Zhang first came into contact with Huang Jing, it was from him.
