The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 304, Side-talking

The young man standing in the room was a little downcast. When he saw the man standing outside the door, he said, "What are you doing standing outside?"

"Come in."

Hearing this, Chen Feng walked into the room, closed the door behind his back, went forward and hugged the young man into his arms, hugging him tightly, fearing that the young man would leave him in the next moment.

Zhang Huaiyuan broke free slightly, let the man relax a little bit, and asked, "Did you hear everything just now?" This is not a question, but affirmation that the man who stood outside heard what the two brothers said just now.

"En." The man's throat was a little tight, he heard everything, what the young man said to his elder brother.

"My elder brother... has a bit of a stubborn personality, and he may not be able to accept us all at once, but my elder brother is still very good. If... elder brother has a bad attitude towards you, don't worry about him." They are Brother, his bones are broken and his tendons are still connected. Zhang Huaiyuan himself can understand his elder brother's attitude towards him.But what he was worried about was that his elder brother might not have a good attitude towards Chen Feng in the future.

When their mother left, he was not very old. The brother and sister on his head were more than ten years older than him. He was almost raised by two brothers and sisters.He and his second sister have the best relationship, but the second sister left two years ago, and now there is only such a big brother.His own affairs, if he insisted on choosing this path, his family would know about it sooner or later. Zhang Huaiyuan himself thought that his family might not understand him.

But now that he has brought him back, he is ready to confess to his family and face them.His eldest brother's attitude was also within his expectations, but the incomprehension of his family still made him feel uncomfortable.

"I know, he is your big brother, that is, my big brother." Chen Feng knew how much pressure the young man had to bear to bring him home. Since he decided to live with the young man for the rest of his life, then the young man's family is his family.

At this time, he didn't know what else he could do other than stand by the young man's side and accompany him to face it.

In fact, he was even more afraid that the young man would choose to leave him due to pressure from his family.He is a person who has nothing but youth, youth is his only, Chen Feng knows that he is very selfish.But no matter what, he will not let go of the player, the youth can only be his, and it will be in this life.

However, none of the members of their old Zhang family are the ones who would speak ill of others, even if they don't like each other, when Zhang Huaishan faced the man brought back by his younger brother, he didn't say a word of harsh words, but it didn't mean that It means that he can accept this person.

As in previous years, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Huaishan took his wife and children to his mother-in-law's home.

***

The second day after his uncle and aunts left, Qiao Minglang brought his younger brothers and sisters over to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather and uncle.Because Zhou Xing was at his house, and it was not easy for him to leave Zhou Xing at home alone, so he had to bring others to his grandfather's house.

"Grandpa, Happy New Year." The siblings went over to greet their grandpa.

The twins are wearing the same clothes and a tiger hat. The two of them are young, so they look very cute.

The two children bowed their hands, and learned all the New Year's greetings taught by their brothers and sisters, and gave their grandpa a decent New Year's greeting, which made their grandpa laugh out loud.

"Hey, they've all grown taller and grown up." Zhang Mingde felt a little comforted when he saw his grandchildren who had grown up by one year.He took out the prepared New Year's money from his pocket, and one of the children distributed one.

The children were very happy to receive the New Year's money given by their grandfather.

"Grandpa, we also have it." Qiao Minglang took the lucky money from his grandpa with both hands. He got a lot of lucky money every Chinese New Year, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"There are, there are, there are."

Seeing his grandson brought a classmate over, the old gentleman took another look at the child.

"Grandpa, this is my classmate Zhou Xing. He happened to come to my house to play, so I brought him over to give you New Year's greetings." Seeing his grandfather looking over, Qiao Minglang introduced Zhou Xing to his grandfather.

"Grandpa, happy new year, I wish you good health and all the best." Zhou Xing stepped forward to greet his grandpa.

"Okay, let's all sit down." Zhang Mingde asked the children to sit down. There were melon and fruit snacks on the table. He grabbed a handful for the children and asked them to sit and eat.

Seeing Chen Feng appearing at his grandfather's place, Qiao Minglang was stunned for a moment before saying, "Uncle, Happy New Year, Uncle Feng."

He didn't know that his uncle brought Chen Feng home for the New Year, but Qiao Minglang knew that his grandfather knew that his uncle liked men, so it was obvious that his uncle brought a man back.

If he knew that his uncle had brought someone home for the New Year, before bringing Zhou Xing to his grandfather's house, Qiao Minglang would have thought about it carefully, maybe he would not have brought him here, so as not to arouse his grandfather's suspicion.

"Happy New Year." Zhang Huaiyuan was also taken aback when he saw this little classmate brought by his nephew.

This year the factory closed earlier, Zhang Huaiyuan and Chen Feng came back a few days earlier.When they arrived in the city, they went to the store, but they didn't see their nephew. Zhang Huaiyuan took Chen Feng back to his hometown, so he didn't say hello to his nephew about this matter.So he didn't know that his nephew brought his classmates home for the New Year, neither of them expected that they would meet in this way.

Before the matter of having a young son, Zhang Mingde felt a little vigilant when he saw his grandson brought a male classmate over to the house.

"Minglang, come with me into the house." Zhang Mingde asked his younger son to play with his grandchildren for a while, and then called the elder grandson to talk in the inner room.

Zhang Huaiyuan looked at his nephew worriedly, but he couldn't go in with him, so he could only stay outside to play with these nephews and nieces.

"What grade are you in this year?"

"We are in the fifth grade, and we will be in the sixth grade next year. Xiaobao and Xiaomei haven't gone to school yet."

The older Qiao Xiaohui and Qiao Mingcheng still remember their uncle, but only the younger twins don't have a deep impression of him.But after the uncle gave them delicious food, the twins also got close to this uncle who was not deeply impressed.

Chen Feng was a person who didn't like children very much, so he just sat aside and watched the young man play with the children.

Qiao Xiaobao was not afraid of strangers. He stared at the strange uncle, then climbed into the strange uncle's arms and sat down.Chen Feng was stunned for a moment before he realized that the child approached him actively. He coaxed the child clumsily and asked if he wanted candy.

"I want to eat this." Qiao Xiaobao put the melon seeds he was holding into the opponent's hand, which meant clearly that he wanted this uncle to help him peel the melon seeds.

When Chen Feng saw the melon seeds in his hand, he peeled off the shell of the melon seeds, put the melon seeds in the child's hands, watched the child put the melon seeds in his mouth to eat, and peeled another one for the child.

Seeing the big and small getting along with each other, a smile flashed across Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes.

Qiao Minglang followed his grandfather into the house, and they could still hear the voices outside the house.

The old man didn't speak too bluntly, but just made a side note to his grandson, telling his grandson to study hard when he was in the third year of high school, "You are still young, your life has not yet started, and the road ahead is still long. If you want to Study hard, and you will have a good future when you go to university. Your younger brothers and sisters are still young and you need to take care of them. You have to take care of yourself so that you can have the energy to take care of them..."

"Well, I know my grandpa." Qiao Minglang knew what his grandpa meant, and he also understood that his grandpa had some doubts about him.

In fact, at this time, he kind of wanted to explain the matter to his grandfather.But with the matter of his uncle in mind, thinking about his grandfather being ill last year, if something like this happened to him now, his grandfather would have to go to the hospital again, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

Zhang Mingde felt that his grandson was still young and didn't know what life was. Of course, he didn't want his grandson to like men like his uncle.Of course, what he said today, his original intention is to hope that his grandson can study hard, so that the future road will be easier.

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while in the room, and the two went out together.

Seeing his nephew and his father coming out of the house, the faces of these two people don't seem to have any trouble.Taking advantage of his father not paying attention to them, Zhang Huaiyuan asked his nephew in a low voice, "What did you say in the room?"

Qiao Minglang only said, "Nothing."

Hearing what his nephew said, it should be nothing, Zhang Huaiyuan was relieved.

Zhou Xing stretched out his ears to eavesdrop, and only heard a sentence that was nothing.

On this day, they stayed at grandpa's house for a long time, and after lunch, they were ready to go home.

Qiao Minglang told his grandfather and uncle that he would go back to the city in two days. They started school earlier this year and they would go back to class, but in previous years they would go back on the fifth or sixth day of the new year.

"Okay, go back and study hard." Zhang Mingde knew that the eldest grandson was busy studying in the third year of high school, so he told the eldest grandson to study hard when he went back, and also told the other younger ones to study hard.

"Grandpa, let's go."

"Goodbye, grandpa, goodbye, uncle."

"Goodbye uncle."

When they got home, they walked back.

When they came, the family's car dropped them off. Qiao Minglang asked his fifth uncle not to use it to pick them up. There was only one tricycle at home. Several aunts went to visit relatives today, so the family's car needed to be used. .

Walking from his grandfather's house to theirs, it took about half an hour to walk back.

Fortunately, the twins are older now and can walk a longer distance, but they just have to carry it on their backs when they are tired from walking halfway.
