Xu Zhimin had never eaten braised noodles before, but thinking about the big package Fang Yan had given him, he knew that everything in it was delicious.
He nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes."
"Um, how about I do something for you?"
Realizing belatedly that sitting there waiting to be fed wasn't quite right, he asked again.
Zhu Xiuhua fell asleep with Xiaoyuzai, and no one was there to help her.
Thinking that they had been hungry all day, especially Grandpa Zhang who looked quite old, I wondered if he could endure being hungry for so long.
Wanting them to have noodles as soon as possible, Fang Yan declined Xu Zhimin's offer and pointed to the vegetable garden in the yard, saying, "Pick whichever kind of vegetables you want to eat."
She then gestured, "This much should be enough."
You don't need too many green vegetables for the noodles.
Zhang Jizhou suddenly stood up. "I'll do it."
Fang Yan looked back at him and nodded, "Okay, remember to keep it clean in a bit."
It's late at night, and I'm worried they won't wash it properly, and the vegetables will have sand on them.
Grandpa Zhang looked at him expectantly, but did not stop him.
After he left, he then asked Zhang Zongde and the village chief about Zhang Jizhou's life in the village over the years.
Zhang Zongde and Old Master Zhang are similar; I completely understand their eagerness to learn about their grandson.
They did not cover for Zhang Laowu, and they tried their best to tell Xue Wanxue the story fairly.
“It’s all my son’s fault. He’s the one who caused all this suffering for his wife and son.”
Upon hearing that Xue Wanxue was ultimately poisoned to death by Zhang Laowu using pharmacology, Old Master Zhang's eyes welled up with tears. "Our Zhang family has wronged her."
Xu Zhimin, a rich kid from Beijing's elite circle, started working right after graduation, perfectly avoiding being sent to the countryside. As a result, he couldn't even distinguish between vegetables and grass.
"Brother Zhou, you pull it out, I'll take it."
He was not polite at all, and moved closer to Zhang Jizhou, speaking in a very familiar manner.
Zhang Jizhou started pulling up some greens, including lettuce and spinach.
“Brother Zhou, ever since he learned that you might exist in this world, the old man has been searching for you everywhere.”
Xu Zhimin then began to talk to him, "You should also know that Uncle Zhang's job is entirely confidential, and even the old man cannot easily inquire about it."
"We really can't be sure where Uncle Zhang will meet and fall in love with your mother."
If they knew this address, or even just the general direction, they could use that direction to search slowly. After all these years, they would eventually find it.
“Uncle Zhang had been to too many places and carried out missions during his lifetime. He had been to almost all parts of the country and even abroad.”
So they had no choice but to search all over the world.
"You have no idea how many times the old man was heartbroken when news came that they had found you, only to find out later that the results were not what he expected."
Zhang Jizhou remained silent throughout. After picking the vegetables, he took them to the well to wash them.
He has become very proficient in this entire process since he returned.
Xu Zhimin didn't mind. His indifferent attitude, like a big tail, followed him over and squatted down in the well with him. He continued, "During the time you went missing in Death Valley, the old man went there six times to personally direct the rescue work. Later, he had to go abroad temporarily because of other matters."
