Originally, Zhang Xudong lived a relaxed and comfortable life. Relying on the medical clinic left by his grandfather, he had no worries about food, drink, or money.
However, after a nap, he w...
He Junqiang finally said: "Everyone just needs to understand what we talked about today.
Don't mention a word about it in front of outsiders. No matter what, less trouble is worse than more.
Also, your mother and I have our own opinions, and we won't ask the same of you young people in this regard.
We both feel relieved to know that you still have a way out, and we don't mind enduring a little hardship.
From now on, we can just go to work and live our lives as usual.
We are doing the right thing and walking the right path, so we have nothing to fear.
But Xiaofang, you have to tell your uncle about your marriage.
Now that we know about the existence of our in-laws, we must not lose our manners.
Dongzi, discuss with your sister how to contact your in-laws safely."
Zhang Xudong and Sima Nianfang discussed it and said:
"Uncle and aunt, forget about the engagement or not, we're not allowed to have a grand ceremony now anyway.
Let’s set the wedding date on National Day and hold a simple wedding then.
If we can get married in Hong Kong, we will definitely give them a grand and lively wedding.
But that doesn’t work here, we can only follow the situation.
I will find a way to inform my second uncle.
Xiaojing, if you have nothing to do, please take more photos for everyone. Don't break your camera.
I'll pick out a few and mail them to my second uncle when I get back. Even if I can't see him in person, it'll be good enough if I can show him the photos."
Zhang Xudong finally breathed a sigh of relief after sorting out the mess. It was really not easy to live like this.
After everyone else left, He Jingxian said worriedly:
“Brother Dong, judging from what my father said just now, he agrees that we can go out when necessary.
But he and my mom still want to stay, right?"
Zhang Xudong curled his lips and said, "What are you worried about? Will he be able to take charge of the family by then?"
At worst, we can just knock him out, and then let him do whatever he wants outside."
He Jingxian nodded and said, "This is the only way.
But you can’t be as rough as you are with others, you have to find a comfortable way to make them faint.”
Zhang Xudong twitched his lips after hearing this. No matter what method is used, isn't it going to mess with your dad?
"Brother Dong, I've searched everywhere in Xidan and the Chinese Medicine College, but I can't find the Professor Zhang and his wife you mentioned.
I even asked the neighborhood committee and the school office, and they said there was no such person.
The old neighbors in Xidan said that there was no family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners with the surname Zhang there.
I have never heard of Zhang Jubai and Su Yueying.
Brother Dong, did you remember it wrongly? If it's an old family, it should be easy to find out."
Zhang Xudong shook his head and said:
"I can't possibly remember it wrongly, the household registration book from that time is still in the space.
Although their household registration has been cancelled, their names are still clearly listed on it.
This is just an extra cancellation stamp. No, go check it out. The household registration booklet is in my drawer.
I'll check again tomorrow to see if there was a mistake."
In the next few days, Zhang Xudong went to Xidan and the Chinese Medicine College when he had nothing to do.
It’s very simple at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the list of their faculty and staff is right there.
The people in the teaching and administrative office were annoyed by Zhang Xudong's questions. After looking at his ID, they put all the names and records since the founding of the school on his desk.
If you don't believe us, just check it out yourself. We will definitely cooperate with you.
Zhang Xudong searched through the books but couldn't find Professor Zhang Jubai.
There was no other way, so he focused all his energy on Xidan.
"Grandpa Wu, have you really never heard of the Zhang family of traditional Chinese medicine?"
That evening, Zhang Xudong stopped an old man carrying a stool and going home at the entrance of an alley in Xidan and asked.
Uncle Wu propped up his stool and sat down, saying:
"Young man, which of the old men and women here haven't you asked dozens of times?
At the same time, those young people were afraid of our questions and avoided us when they saw us.
You are so nice, you make us nagging people afraid of you.
We old men and women just came out of our homes to enjoy the cool air today and you came over.
They are nimble and will hide back home when they see your shadow.
I was a little slow and you caught me. What bad luck!
I say, young man, stop asking.
I, with my Alzheimer's brain, remember everything you want to ask.
We really don't have a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners with the surname Zhang here.
I, an old man, grew up here and have never heard of this family.
Not to mention Zhang Jubai, I know all about people in their forties, but there is no such person.
You can go to Dongdan or other places to ask.
If you don't leave, we old neighbors won't be able to sit together and chat!"
Zhang Xudong touched his nose awkwardly and said:
"Uncle Wu, I can't come tomorrow. I have to go back to my hometown.
I'm sorry for disturbing you these days!
This time I brought you two bottles of health water. After you drink them, your legs and feet will feel much better.
I'm leaving now, goodbye."
"Dong Wazi, if you don't ask the same questions over and over again, you're not a bad kid.
This potion is even better. Where did you buy it? I'll ask my son to buy it for me later."
“Grandpa Wu, I made this potion myself, it’s not available for purchase.
That’s all I have now. Once you finish drinking it, it will be gone.
