Slide 272
In the early hours of the morning, Father Zhang woke up without sleep. He was lying on the Dongwu Kang with a soft mattress underneath, covered with a fluffy and warm quilt, and beside him was the snoring of his wife.
In the dark, he seemed to see his elder sister Zhang Dani curling her thin body tremblingly to resist the cold, her white hair outside the old black quilt, unusually dazzling.
For this eldest sister, Zhang's feelings are very complicated-lamenting her misfortune, hating her indisputable. A weak mother brought up a cowardly son. This is the misfortune of that family, and it is also the fate of her own self-sufficiency.
How many times did he remind her eldest son to follow the father, don't bear it, but what about her? It seemed that he couldn't believe his own father; how many times he asked her to choose his daughter-in-law, don't listen to wind and rain, but she turned around and forgot.
Father Zhang feels very powerless for the eldest sister who will see today. The foolish person still thinks he is smart when he does foolish things, and he adds a pile of mud mixed together. How can he help? At this moment, he is even more worried about what happened to Zhang Dani?
Things are impermanent. These days, Father Zhang often thinks of Zhang Dani who is wearing a flower jacket. Who could have imagined that the baby girl who his father and mother had grown up in the palm of his hand would be so miserable in his old age?
There was a slight change in the hall. Father Zhang was awakened from the confusion. After an excitement, he immediately got up and dressed, and looked outside. It turned out that it was his old son who got up again early in the morning and planned to clean the yard.
Seeing him coming out, Zhang Guoqing asked softly: "Father, did it bother you? It's still early, or would you take a break?"
Father Zhang shook his head and said, "No, I am old and can't sleep. Dad wants to go for a walk."
Zhang Guoqing followed him closely, and the two went out of the main room. I saw Father Zhang looked up at the sky, it was dark, what do you see?
He can only persuade him: "Father, don't worry about it. You first look at what's going on with the aunt. Come back when something happens and we will discuss it with you. If something happens, your elder son will help you. There are solutions to everything in this world ."
Father Zhang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Daddy knows. You go ahead and do your own business. Daddy go and see if your uncle is up yet?"
"Then be careful, and remember to shout if you have something. Jiaojiao has already gotten up, so remember to come back for dinner earlier." Zhang Guoqing followed in an uneasy manner. Seeing Zhang Dad shaking his hand backwards, he smiled and kept looking at Zhang. Father Zhang's yard, he returned to the yard with peace of mind.
Soon after having breakfast, Father Zhang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, and the three brothers got on a carriage that had been ordered early and drove to Liujiatun, Lin County.
Liujiatun, this is Zhang Dani’s husband’s village, a small village of two hundred or so households, not far from Linxian County, with very convenient transportation. Compared to remote villages, the village has very little land.
Surrounded by mountains and seas, in the early years, the whole village mainly depended on being small merchants and hawkers for a living. Now trapped in the village, I can only farm in the fields.
Zhang Dani now lives in the old house with her elder son's family, and her family is located at the end of the village. One fence yard, five soil embryo houses. This is the old house built by the chef's husband Zhang Dani after he returned to his hometown.
By the time the three brothers Zhang Dad arrived, it was almost noon.
After getting off the car at the door, except for a walkway, the yard was covered with snow on the ground, pyre, and roof, which had not been cleaned up. In the fence yard, there are many missing and untidy places.
It was too long since the three brothers Zhang Dad came last time. In their memory, the always tidy courtyard of Zhang Dani's house is now chaotic.
The three brothers looked at each other and couldn't conceal their surprise, and they didn't understand what had happened. They all know that their brother-in-law is honest and hardworking.
Upon seeing Uncle Zhang, he took the lead in pushing open the door of the courtyard that was about to fall, and shouted a few loudly for Aunt Zhang. After a few eldest sisters, he saw that no one agreed, and suddenly remembered that everyone should be working at this meeting.
The three brothers entered the yard and pushed directly away from the outbuilding. When they went in, the three brothers, Uncle Zhang, were half to death, and saw the niece and daughter-in-law of Westinghouse's nephew now spreading her hair, rubbing her eyes out.
When the other party saw the three of them, they immediately widened their eyes, looking at the package they brought with them brightly, and then greeted them with a natural face, and poured three bowls of hot water. Uncle Zhang stared a few times, and she glanced at the package on the kang without worry, and hurried out to find her in-laws.
The three brothers Zhang Daddy shook their heads. This food is too ugly and too lazy to die. If this were the daughter-in-law of their old Zhang family, they would have rushed back to their natal family.
Uncle Zhang looked inside the room and opened the door curtain of the East Room. He saw that the kang inside was neat and tidy, and he was relieved. He was worried that Aunt Zhang and his wife were not in good health.
Aunt Zhang yelled the three brothers' names before they even entered the yard. To her, it was not surprising that the three natal brothers would come over. She had a hunch that they would come. The full moon wine of the youngest grandson of her family, she failed to rush back, she was worried that they would come over. Besides, even if they don't come, she will definitely return to her parents' house tomorrow.
Entering the East House, Zhang Aunt pushed her three younger brothers onto the kang, and let her wife Liu Dazhu accompany the younger brothers. She planned to go out and cook lunch earlier, so she should also entertain her family.
When he saw ~EbookFREE.me~, he immediately pulled her with anxious eyes and said: "Sister, don't worry about eating. Let's talk first." He came here for this eldest sister. She is leaving, how did their three brothers talk to her.
Aunt Zhang listened, and she said to the eldest daughter-in-law who came over afterwards: "Everyone, you go and prepare. Remember to make the bacon at home."
When he saw the unwillingness on the face of his elder nephew's wife, he knew that there was not much in her house. He didn't say anything to postpone it. He picked up one of the packages on the kang and handed it to Zhang Dani, and said, "Here is all for food. Sister, show me what to do. Eat first at noon."
This time, Father Zhang didn't know what his wife and Jiaojiao had prepared. But this package was handed to him by Jiaojiao. His little daughter-in-law has a good abacus, saying that this is for the big cousin, and the rest will be given to her aunt.
Seeing his nephew and wife happily carrying the package and leaving, Zhang Dad looked at their brothers, pointed to the package, and said, "Sister, you put these away first, and you will look at it later."
Uncle Zhang then smiled and nodded and said: "Except for these two, your elder brother and younger siblings are preparing, and the rest are brought by your second child. You put them away first."
"Sister, there are fabrics and cotton in it, all good things. You should collect them first." Zhang Xiaoshu pushed Zhang Dani to make her hurry up. He knows that it won't be long before his grandchildren, nieces and grandchildren arrive, without his eldest sister's arrangements, and nothing will be left.
Aunt Zhang kept opening several packages in her hands and looked at her, complaining: "Why do you bring so many old things here? I don't need food or clothes. There are so many people in our family, so I don’t want to keep good things. Why do you move to me? No one will go to our village this time, and you will not be able to take it with you if you prepare a gift. You can't come this time, and I will pass tomorrow. Sister is doing well, don't worry."
