As soon as she finished shouting, she covered her mouth and looked at Gu Yan guiltily.
"Lingya, do you know him?"
Gu Yan looked at the object strangely, he didn’t even know this classmate!
"Can you please move aside? This is not your doorstep. How can we get in if you keep blocking the way?"
The university gate nowadays is not as wide as before, and the school reduced its size due to the riots in the past few years, so it is very inconvenient for everyone to enter and exit today.
The two men seemed unaware of everyone's attention and kept standing at the door arguing. Otherwise, Zhang Mengzhi would not have spoken out to remind them.
To be honest, he really didn't want to get in touch with the male and female protagonists. Neither of them was a good person. The female protagonist was evil, and the male protagonist was even more evil, so Zhang Mengzhi said to them unhappily.
"Feel sorry."
Gu Yan still cares a lot about his image when he is outside. Now he doesn't know the previous relationship between Zhang Mengzhi and Wang Lingya, and he is also a college student from the same school, so he obediently gave way.
The students who were watching the show thought about leaving when they saw that there was nothing interesting to watch. But before they could leave, the female lead foolishly kept them back.
"Zhang Mengzhi, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"
Wang Lingya is not smart, or she only has some cleverness to manipulate men. If she were a smart woman, she would know that she should draw a clear line with Zhang Mengzhi at this time and pretend that she doesn't know him.
"Why else could it be other than going to school? Miss Wang, if you are not smart, don't go out, lest you be laughed at. You have no shame, but I still have my reputation!"
Zhang Mengzhi's words were very impolite, and Wang Lingya's face turned pale. In fact, his words were very polite, otherwise Wang Lingya would have fainted by now.
“…”
When Wang Lingya was bullied by Zhang Mengzhi, she remembered that Zhang Mengzhi came back from the countryside because he was admitted to university.
But she never paid attention to the Zhang family's affairs, and she forgot them after hearing about them. Moreover, this university was the best university in their city, and she didn't think Zhang Mengzhi could get in.
In the end, reality slapped her in the face, and Zhang Mengzhi was admitted.
"Is this Zhang Mengzhi? The talented guy who almost got a perfect score?"
Some of the students who were watching had heard of Zhang Mengzhi's name and couldn't help but call out.
This is a legend in their city.
With Zhang Mengzhi's scores, he could have gone to a better university in the capital, but he chose a school in his own city. I wonder how many people feel sorry for him.
Of course, the universities in their own city are also good, but they are still a little inferior to the universities in the capital.
When this score came out, it wasn't that no one had any ideas, but they just gave up after investigation.
If the surname is changed, the person who received Zhang Mengzhi’s university admission letter will be changed.
Those who take advantage of the admission letters do not choose people blindly. They first look at the scores and the school, and then investigate the identity. They will only take advantage of the other party when they are sure that they have no status or family background. Otherwise, they will be the only ones who will suffer if the other party makes trouble.
The Zhang family is indeed just an ordinary working-class family, but their surname is Zhang!
The Zhang family in this city is famous for their unity, and their number is quite large, making them the largest family in their city.
Therefore, no one dared to take action against Zhang Mengzhi's notice. On the contrary, everyone tried their best to instruct their sons not to cause trouble to anyone with the surname Zhang.
The Zhang family is both reasonable and unreasonable. Anyone with a little ability will take action if you provoke them.
Only the Wang family didn't understand. They thought that the Zhang family had a little power and was not as powerful as the Gu family, so they broke off the engagement without hesitation.
"Zhang Mengzhi, what are you doing standing at the door?"
A teacher holding a handbag shouted while standing in the school.
He was just passing by and saw a group of people standing at the school gate. He couldn't help but come over to see what was going on, and found that Zhang Mengzhi was one of them.
"Uncle Yang."
Zhang Mengzhi immediately called for help when he saw the teacher.
This is Zhang’s brother-in-law, the husband of Zhang Mengzhi’s cousin.
He happened to be a teacher at this university, and it was he who received Zhang Mengzhi when he came to register a few days ago. Because his wife at home said that this was her nephew and asked her husband to take good care of him.
Zhang Mengzhi brought honor to the Zhang family. Not only did the family members take care of him, but even the married girls were full of pride when they mentioned him and asked their in-laws to take more care of them.
It can be said that Zhang Mengzhi is now the pride of the Zhang family, and the same goes for the married girls.
"Come in now, or you'll be punished by your teacher if you're late."
Uncle Yang apparently said this to Zhang Mengzhi, but actually he was talking to Gu Yan.
He knew Wang Lingya and knew that she had canceled Zhang Mengzhi's marriage. When he saw her holding hands with Gu Yan, he realized that she had canceled her nephew's marriage for this student, and he immediately lost his good impression of her.
Even though he didn't know that the Zhang family was preparing to deal with the Gu family, he still didn't like Gu Yan.
What good boy would get involved with someone else's fiancée? So it's no wonder that Uncle Yang didn't like this student.
"Yes, uncle."
Zhang Mengzhi walked past them and headed towards Uncle Yang. When the teacher came, most of the students automatically made way.
"Mengzhi, your aunt mentioned you to me yesterday! She asked me to keep an eye on you at school and make sure you don't neglect your studies, otherwise she won't forgive me. I also asked my colleagues to keep a close eye on you to prevent you from being led astray by others."
Uncle Yang deliberately said this in front of a group of students, just to remind them that Zhang Mengzhi is protected by someone in school.
At the same time, it also reminds some students who don’t study well that if they do something bad, don’t look for Zhang Mengzhi, because he is being watched by a group of teachers!
It's no wonder that this really worked. Those who originally disliked Zhang Mengzhi because of his poor academic performance, all of their evil thoughts disappeared in an instant.
It is natural for students to be afraid of teachers. Zhang Mengzhi has connections in the school, so how could anyone dare to harm him?
Although Gu Yan felt that the teacher surnamed Yang's words were a bit harsh, he did not think much about it. He just thought that he and Wang Lingya blocked Zhang Mengzhi's way, causing him to almost be late, which caused the teacher's dissatisfaction.
"sorry."
After Gu Yan apologized to Zhang Mengzhi, he took his partner away.
He had to leave. If people continued to watch him and Wang Lingya, they would become famous in school. At the same time, he had to interrogate his girlfriend. What was her relationship with Zhang Mengzhi?
With nothing interesting to watch, the students crowding at the school gate left in twos and threes.
The school gate, which was crowded just now, suddenly became wide and no longer seemed crowded at all.
However, Teacher Yang decided to propose to the principal to restore the school’s original gate to its original width, otherwise there would be crowds at the university entrance if something happened.
"Mengzhi, don't learn from those people. They're already dating after school starts. They don't seem like they're here to learn knowledge, but rather to waste time."
Uncle Yang said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, uncle. I don't have any interest in these things now. I just want to study hard."
Zhang Mengzhi understood what his elders were thinking. Besides, he really didn’t have that thought, so there was naturally nothing wrong with what he said.
"I'm glad you understand."
Uncle Yang was relieved to see that he really didn't have such an intention, and he was able to explain to his wife when he got home.
He was not a teacher in Zhang Mengzhi's department. After talking to Zhang Mengzhi for a few words, the two parted ways.
Only then did Zhang Mengzhi go to his classroom carrying his schoolbag and carrying a water bottle.
There were no formal classes on the first day. The day passed just as students and teachers got to know each other and introduced themselves.
Zhang Mengzhi was reading a book when his classmates introduced themselves, and stood up when it was his turn.
He had to introduce himself to the teacher in every class. He didn’t know whether the teacher remembered it or not, but he remembered all the classmates in the class.
He chose the easiest major for himself - Chinese Language and Literature. Most students in this major become teachers after graduation.
Zhang Mengzhi didn't want to be a teacher, he chose this major just to make life easier. He has a good memory and often reads books, so this major is easy for him to learn.
When others were getting a headache from memorizing books, he had already memorized all the content in the textbook.
On the third day of school, the school conducted a random check to see if any students were impersonating others.
It was Zhang Mengzhi who reminded his relative who worked in the Education Bureau about this matter, and this was also a way for him to show his power to Gu Yan.
The male protagonist's college entrance examination results were only acceptable, far from excellent. At the same time, he met Wang Lingya after the college entrance examination, and thought that he didn't need to study anymore after the college entrance examination, so he threw the textbooks behind his mind.
After a summer vacation, I don’t know how much knowledge is still in his mind.
For those who continue to study after the college entrance examination, the surprise exam is not a big deal. But for those who gave up studying after the college entrance examination, it is a life-threatening thing. Now they lie on the table and cry.
"Oh my god, why do I have to take exams when I first enter college? I have forgotten everything I learned in high school."
No matter how reluctant they were, the test papers were still distributed.
There is no test on professional knowledge, just the most basic Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages.
Zhang Mengzhi was a good student and he did not fall behind in his studies after the college entrance examination, so he answered the questions easily.
Not to mention Chinese, I only spent one hour to finish the math paper, and then I checked it carefully twice before handing it in early.
The invigilator also knew Zhang Mengzhi. After all, there was a student in their school who almost scored full marks in the college entrance examination, and all the teachers were very curious.
"Since you've handed in the paper, go home!"
The teacher did not force the person to stay in the classroom and let him leave.
"Thank you, teacher."
Zhang Mengzhi left, and the invigilator sneered at the group of students who could only scratch their heads.
How many of these are imposters?
Zhang Mengzhi left the teaching building. The whole school was very quiet. After all, everyone was taking exams, even the students who enrolled in the first half of the year. Therefore, there were almost no people in the school at this time.
He didn't stay for long, but walked slowly towards home with his schoolbag on his back.
On the way home, Zhang Mengzhi met someone selling walnuts on the roadside. He bought ten kilograms and the other party gave him a snakeskin bag.
Even though he has only recently become an adult, Zhang Mengzhi has a lot of money. In addition to the money his parents give him, he also earns some from writing articles.
Ten pounds of walnuts may seem like a lot, but once you get home and dry them, there won't be that many left. And walnuts can be kept for a long time after being dried, so there will be plenty for the family to eat whenever they want.
"uncle."
Seeing Zhang Mengzhi coming back, the two nephews immediately ran up to him. They had already started school, but they were not going to their previous school, but to a school near Zhang's home.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school now?"
Zhang Mengzhi looked at the time. It was not yet eleven o'clock. The two children should be in school at this time.
"A kid in our class got pink eye, so the teacher gave us a day off."
Conjunctivitis is contagious, so teachers cannot take it lightly. It is better to just give students a few days off.
"Oh, then go eat walnuts!"
Zhang Mengzhi then understood why his two nephews were at home, and he took out a few walnuts and gave them to them.
"Thank you, uncle."
After expressing their thanks, the two children ran to the main hall door to eat walnuts.
Children are not stupid. If they use stones to hit the walnuts, they will easily get hurt and the walnuts will easily fall out. It is much more convenient to use a door clamp. You can also control the force and clamp slowly without damaging the flesh inside. Even children can do it.
Zhang Mengzhi watched them use a door clamp to crack open a few walnuts and carefully take out the flesh inside. The two children had good hands and the flesh of each walnut was intact.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile.
He ate walnuts in the same way when he was a child. His biggest wish at that time was to take them out intact without damaging the flesh, and then eat them reluctantly.
Now it’s different. He took two walnuts and crushed them with both hands.
The hand strength of an adult man is simply incomparable to that of a child. When I was a child, I thought walnuts were difficult to handle, but as an adult, I can eat the flesh inside with just a pair of hands.
He has grown up and become an adult.
"Mengzhi, where did you buy these walnuts? They are quite big. I will buy some for your grandmother and her family later."
When Mother Zhang came out of the kitchen, she saw her son holding a big bag of walnuts. He picked out a few and cracked them to eat.
"When I came back, I saw someone selling walnuts on the roadside, so I bought ten kilograms. You don't need to help me, I can just buy it if I see you later. Even mom thinks these walnuts are good, so it seems that I have good taste."
Zhang Mengzhi smiled.
"Then I'll leave this to you. But now there are more and more people setting up stalls. When are we going to build the stall you mentioned, son?"
Mother Zhang didn't want to stay at home all day, and seeing more and more small stalls outside, she became excited.
"Let's start next month! I'll hire someone to make a cart and a tricycle to tow it. Then we can put all our stuff on the cart and ride on the tricycle without having to push it ourselves."
Zhang Mengzhi also found that there were more and more small vendors outside, and no one came out to supervise them, so he thought that it would be fine if he set up a stall outside.
"Okay, then you can tell the carpenter what kind of cart you want and ask them to make it for you."
Mother Zhang had no objection. The cart her son wanted was different from the current one. If he didn't explain it to the carpenter in person, the family would not know what kind of cart he needed.
Zhang Mengzhi thought that he had a day to rest after the exam, so he went to get this done. After all, it would take some time to make the cart!
"Okay, leave it to me. By the way, where's the first wife?"
Not seeing Zhou Guilan, he couldn't help but ask.
"She is tired after taking a walk in the morning and is resting in the house now."
Mother Zhang said to her son.
"Is that so? Then I'll go cook and you take care of the two kids."
Zhang Mengzhi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
The weather is still quite hot now, so he made cold noodles and porridge at noon.
The cold noodles are first cooked in boiling water, but not too soft, leaving a little hard core to make them chewy. Inexperienced people can pour a small bowl of water into the pot when the noodles are bubbling, and repeat three times.
After cooking, take out the noodles and apply vegetable oil while they are still hot, then shake them and fan them vigorously to cool them down completely. This way, the noodles will not stick together and only taste good.
Don’t rinse the noodles with cold water. The noodles will become watery and won’t taste good at all.
He has been eating cold noodles smeared with vegetable oil since he was a child. Zhang Mengzhi doesn’t like cold noodles that are rinsed with cold water at all!
After the cold noodles are ready, start preparing the side dishes. Chop the green onion, ginger, and garlic into fine pieces. If you have cucumbers and bean sprouts at home, you can use them as side dishes. Remember to blanch the bean sprouts.
If you don’t have cucumber and bean sprouts, you can leave them out. The cold noodles are also delicious just as is.
The Zhang family didn’t have bean sprouts, but they had cucumbers and carrots. They pulled them out of the ground or picked them, then washed them and cut them into shreds.
Zhang Mengzhi is good at cutting. He cuts both cucumbers and carrots into thin strips and arranges them neatly on a plate for later use.
Cold noodles taste best when they are freshly mixed, because if they are left there for a long time, they will lose their taste.
After making these preparations, Zhang Mengzhi left the kitchen and waited for the porridge in the pot to be ready so that she could eat when her father got off work and her sister came back from school.
"Mengzhi, aren't you in school?"
When Zhou Guilan woke up and saw her nephew coming out of the kitchen, she shouted in surprise.
My nephew usually doesn't get out of school until after twelve o'clock, so why is he home before twelve o'clock today?
"Grandma, I have an exam today."
After Zhang Mengzhi said this, Zhou Guilan knew that school would end earlier during exams.
"So how did you do on the test?"
Zhou Guilan asked with some curiosity. She believed that Yi Mengzhi's grades would not be bad, but she still wanted to ask him how he felt.
“It’s not bad!”
Zhang Mengzhi thought about it and felt that if nothing unexpected happened, he should be first in the class.
After hearing what he said, Zhang's mother and Zhou Guilan felt relieved. Because when he usually said this when cooking, it meant that the dish tasted very good.
By the same token, this means that Zhang Mengzhi’s test scores will not be bad either.
"Brother, I'm back."
Zhang Mengyu arrived home earlier than Zhang's father. As soon as he entered the door, he threw his schoolbag on a chair and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Didn't you have enough food this morning?"
Seeing her sister picking up a cucumber and talking, Zhang Mengzhi looked at her with suspicion. We cooked a lot of rice at home, why is she still hungry?
"I'm full, but I got hungry halfway through class."
Zhang Mengyu shook her head. She had already eaten two steamed buns and two steamed buns, and drank a large bowl of porridge, plus an egg.
Her appetite was bigger than her brother's, but she was just hungry!
"I'll prepare some fruits and biscuits for you when you go to school!"
Zhang Mengzhi understood immediately after hearing her say this. These were the years when young people were completely hungry!
Children who are six months old are growing up and their appetite is bigger than that of ordinary people. Both boys and girls are afraid of being hungry at this time. Some are so hungry that they even eat on the table.
As an older brother, he certainly wouldn't want to see his sister hungry, so Zhang Mengzhi decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruits and biscuits to keep at home when he returned this afternoon.
Now it is autumn and many fruits are available, whether apples or pears are on the market, and you can buy them without a ticket.
"Thank you, bro."
Zhang Mengyu shouted happily upon hearing this.
She was really hungry. She would be so hungry halfway through class that she didn't even have the energy to speak. There were many students like her who went to class hungry. If you are used to being hungry, you can just endure it. But Zhang Mengyu had never been hungry since she was a child, so she couldn't help but go to the kitchen to look for food as soon as she came back.
"Take the porridge out and we'll eat when Dad comes back."
Zhang Mengzhi started to mix the cold noodles, put them into a bowl, added various seasonings and ingredients on the cold noodles, and finally poured red oil on them and mixed them. A bowl of fragrant cold noodles was ready.
Zhang Mengzhi was carrying the cold noodles and walking towards the main room, just when Zhang's father came back.
"Dream knowledge."
Father Zhang came in with a bag of oranges.
"Dad is back, wash your hands and eat quickly."
Zhang Mengzhi greeted his father.
"Okay." Father Zhang put the oranges in the house and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
"Today, your uncle Deming came back from the countryside and gave me a bag of oranges, asking me to bring them back for you to eat."
Father Zhang spoke to his family before he even sat down.
"Auntie, you like oranges, you can eat more."
"Okay, Auntie got it."
Zhou Guilan smiled.
She really likes eating oranges, and their city is rich in oranges. It is even known as the Fruit City because of its citrus fruits.
Zhangjia Village planted many fruit trees, and even during the most difficult years they were not cut down to make room for crops, so every household can get a lot of oranges every year.
Zhang Deming happened to go back to the countryside to visit his relatives. He brought back two bags of oranges. Since he usually got vegetables from the Zhang family, he brought back one bag of oranges.
This bag of oranges weighs about 20 to 30 kilograms, which can last the Zhang family for a long time.
"I didn't go back to the countryside this year. When I'm free that day, I'll go back to the countryside and buy some oranges from my grandfather and his family and send them to my grandfather and my second father."
Zhang Mengzhi said this to Zhou Guilan.
"Don't worry about them. Deshuang and the others don't need it."
Zhou Guilan knew that her two sons liked eating oranges as much as she did, but she didn't want to trouble the Zhang family anymore.
She has caused enough trouble to the Zhang family. Even though she has the money left by her son, the favor is real.
Some things cannot be bought with money, such as the careful care from the Zhang family. Can this be bought with money?
Zhou Guilan used to feel exhausted after walking a few steps, but now she can walk on the street for an hour or two without feeling tired. The difference between the two cannot be made up by money.
So both she and her two sons are very grateful to the Zhang family. Not everyone is as kind as the Deyun family.
Zhang's father and his family used the money given by Deshuang on Zhou Guilan. The money she is currently taking for medicine and medical treatment is all paid from this money, and the Zhang family did not take any advantage.
"Whether Second Dad and his family need anything is their business. What we sent is our thoughts."
Zhang Mengzhi insisted on sending it, and Zhou Guilan knew that he always had his own ideas, so she didn't say much. She just wanted her son to take better care of the Zhang family in the future, at least to prevent them from being bullied by outsiders.
In her eyes, the Zhang family was too honest, otherwise they would not have been bullied by the Wang family who came to their home.
“This cold noodles is delicious.”
Zhou Guilan took a mouthful of cold noodles and a sip of warm porridge, and her appetite was completely opened. She could now eat a bowl of rice at a meal, plus some side dishes, and her appetite gradually returned to normal.
"Auntie, don't eat too much. When you feel better, let Mengzhi do it again."
Seeing that Zhou Guilan had eaten a small bowl of cold noodles and wanted to eat more, Zhang's mother quickly stopped her.
"good."
Zhou Guilan obediently turned her chopsticks around and ate the eggs that Zhang Mengzhi had specially fried for her and her nephew.
Now she and her two children are the only ones in the family who can eat eggs every day.
"Grandpa, the eggs are delicious!"
Xiaoshuang said cutely while holding the children's chopsticks.
"Grandpa knows, you guys should eat quickly, otherwise the cold noodles won't taste good."
Zhou Guilan smiled after hearing what her great-granddaughter said.
She is also a great-grandmother. Time is really unforgiving! "That's right."
The two children were eating with great concentration. They no longer needed to be fed by the adults. They each had a small bowl and were eating happily.
Half a bowl of porridge, half a bowl of cold noodles, and some scrambled eggs, the two children's stomachs were full.
"Can I see if this watermelon is ripe?"
Zhang Mengyu tapped his nephews on their stomachs to tease them on purpose.
“Not watermelon.”
Xiaoyu lay in her aunt's hand, and seeing that she couldn't escape, she simply ran behind her grandmother and hid.
"How can it not be a watermelon? If you tap it, will it make a sound? If it makes a sound, it must be a watermelon."
Zhang Mengyu had nothing to do after dinner, so she played with the child.
"It's not a watermelon, you mean auntie."
Xiaoshuang lay in her grandmother's arms and said that Zhang Mengyu had rubbed her so hard that her hair was messy.
"Hahaha."
When Zhang Mengyu heard what her niece said, she burst into laughter triumphantly.
"Okay, go wash the dishes and stop teasing the kids."
In the end, Zhang's mother couldn't stand it anymore and sent her daughter to wash the dishes.
The son cooked this meal, so the daughter should wash this bowl. Their family has always been fair to their children, and they don't favor boys over girls or girls over boys.
My son is right.
Others don’t have as much as you do, and others can do things as well as you can. This is the only way to avoid asking others for help.
All the children in their family, both boys and girls, can do basic housework. Even changing a light bulb is something that both daughters can do.
Except that she is not as strong as Zhang Mengzhi, she is no different from a boy.
Perhaps many people think that this is exploiting daughters, but only married women know that this is also a kind of love!
"Then I'll go wash the dishes. Brother, you take the two nephews to take a nap."
The two children usually take naps together and sleep separately at night, one with their aunt and the other with their uncle.
Zhang Mengzhi's bed is said to be a single bed, but it is actually 1.2 meters wide and can accommodate an adult and a child.
Zhang Mengyu's room has a proper double bed, which is not crowded for two adults and a child.
Moreover, the two children have become sensible. As long as they are not given too much water before going to bed, they don’t even need to be woken up in the middle of the night to pee.
He slept till dawn and was very easy to take care of.
Zhang Mengyu took his two nephews to his room and coaxed them to sleep in a short while.
He doesn't enter his sister's room easily now. After all, she is a grown-up girl. Even if he is her biological brother, it is inappropriate to enter his sister's room at will.
It is said that when a boy grows up he should avoid his mother, and when a girl grows up she should avoid her father.
My brother can't be worse than my father! We should avoid the taboos, and Zhang Mengzhi has always done a great job in this regard.
Not only does he not discriminate against boys, he also respects women.
There are huge physiological differences between men and women. He cannot do whatever he wants just because of his status as an older brother. This is not how a brother should behave.
Some people may say that Zhang Mengzhi is being pretentious, and that this is all she needs to do since we are all family.
However, Zhang Mengzhi knew clearly that if he did not respect the women in his family, outsiders would be even less respectful to the women in the Zhang family.
Therefore, Zhang Mengzhi set an example for outsiders to avoid discriminating against the women in her family. When the women in her family were wronged, Zhang Mengzhi would seek justice for them.
Because he did a great job in this area, Zhang Mengzhi became a good man in the eyes of all the women in their area. No matter young women or middle-aged and old women, they all praised Zhang Mengzhi.
It stands to reason that he is an adult, and someone should come to propose marriage. But Zhang Mengzhi was admitted to university, and anyone with a bit of sense would not come to propose marriage at this time, so as not to disturb the child's studies.
Yes, in the eyes of Chinese people, going to school is the top priority, no matter what, they must give way to learning. Any behavior that will hinder learning is not allowed to appear in front of students.
Therefore, everyone tacitly agreed not to visit Zhang's family. When he graduated, everyone would see that there would definitely be a large number of matchmakers coming to the house.
"My nephew and his wife, Meng Zhi is such a good person. You should be more careful in the future and never let anyone cheat you."
Zhou Guilan looked at her nephew and his wife and knew they were honest people, so she kindly reminded them.
"Don't worry, Auntie. We know we won't make the decision for Meng Zhi. The lesson we've learned is enough for us to remember for the rest of our lives."
Father Zhang sat next to his wife and made a promise to Zhou Guilan.
"It's good that you understand. I'm afraid that you might be confused for a moment and agree to something just because someone flatters you. Wouldn't that harm Meng Zhi?"
She has never seen her biological grandson, but from what her son said, her biological grandson is not half as good-looking and handsome as her nephew. Zhou Guilan really loves this nephew, so she doesn't want her nephew and his wife to make decisions for her son without permission.
"Yes, yes, don't worry, Auntie!"
What else can Zhang Deyun and his wife do? Just agree to it!
In the afternoon, Zhang Mengzhi went back to school to continue his exams, and then he was the first to leave the exam room. He walked on the road wearing a straw hat. He first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some long-lasting biscuits and apples. After all, Zhang Mengyu needed nutrition the most now. Whether she could grow to 17 meters depends on whether her nutrition can keep up.
Since both parents are not short, their children will certainly not be short either. At least Zhang Mengzhi has grown to be over 1.8 meters tall, and Zhang Mengyu should be at least 1.65 meters tall.
"Hot glutinous rice cake~ hot glutinous rice cake~ fragrant and sticky, very delicious."
A peddler came to the roadside pushing a bicycle and hawking his wares.
"Ciba seller, give me two servings of brown sugar ciba."
Zhang Mengzhi almost shed tears when she heard about the taste of glutinous rice cake. Thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away, it’s no wonder that people started buying glutinous rice cake on the street!
"Okay, do you want a large or small portion?"
"Two large portions!"
His father and sister love to eat glutinous rice cake, but not many people make it and it is troublesome to make it at home, so the father and daughter can only eat it more than twice a year.
It just so happens that someone is selling it now, so Zhang Mengzhi must buy more.
"Here, one dollar."
Ciba is made of glutinous rice and topped with brown sugar, so it is not cheap.
"Give me another small portion coated with soybean powder."
Zhang Mengzhi thought that it would be easy to get sick of eating the brown sugar alone, and the taste would be different after coating it with soybean powder, so she bought another small portion.
"Okay, a small portion of three cents."
The glutinous rice cake seller quickly cut a small piece of glutinous rice cake, wrapped it in soybean powder, put it in brown paper and handed it to him.
"Give you money."
Zhang Mengzhi took out a dollar and three cents and handed it to the vendor, then left with three servings of glutinous rice cakes. Fortunately, he was carrying a schoolbag, so he put the biscuits and apples in the backpack.
People from Shu province would never give up their mouths. Zhang Mengzhi was a time traveler. In the later world, he loved to eat and never treated himself badly. Therefore, he could not help but spend money to buy delicious food.
He didn't think he was spending money recklessly. After all, food is the most important thing for people!
"Spending money recklessly again."
When she got home, Zhang's mother could only say something to her son helplessly.
"Deyun's wife, how can buying food be considered as wasting money? Compared to those people who spend money recklessly, do you know how much more sensible Meng is?"
Zhou Guilan immediately came out to defend him. In her opinion, as long as the money was not used for gambling or doing bad things, it was not considered as wasted money if it was used to buy food.
"Yes, it's rare to see someone selling glutinous rice cakes, I must buy some for everyone to taste. Grandma, try some while it's still hot."
Zhang Mengzhi opened the glutinous rice cake sprinkled with brown sugar and poured it into the plate, then handed her a pair of chopsticks, and then continued to put the remaining glutinous rice cakes into the plate and arranged them. When this thing is cold, put it in the pot to steam it, or directly fry it in an iron pan.
"Speaking of glutinous rice cakes, it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
Mother Zhang counted on her fingers and realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival was not far away.
"Yeah, the 17th is Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder how De Shuang and the others are doing in the capital?"
Zhou Guilan glanced at the almanac on the wall and said.
"Then I have to prepare some festival gifts. There will definitely be people returning to the countryside, so I'll ask them to bring them back to my parents-in-law in the countryside."
Mother Zhang stood up quickly. The Mid-Autumn Festival was not far away. Her parents-in-law were not her parents. If she sent her baby late, they would be dissatisfied in their hearts even if they didn't say it.
"I went with you."
Zhou Guilan also stood up and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the gifts while it was still early.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Auntie."
If they had known that his mother and eldest wife were going to the supply and marketing cooperative, they would not have gone before he came back. Zhang Mengzhi was speechless.
The two of them didn't care how speechless Zhang Mengzhi was, and went out hand in hand to prepare holiday gifts.
Although it was said that she was preparing gifts for her parents-in-law, in fact, Zhang's mother also had to prepare holiday gifts for Zhang's father's colleagues, her parents and her own relatives.
These are all indispensable, so the two of them picked and chose in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the salespersons were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
It’s not that no one comes to them to prepare holiday gifts, but there are relatively few who are as generous as Mother Zhang.
No one doubted their identities, because while they were preparing the gifts, they were talking about who the gifts were for. In their words, they were all their relatives, and no one could be left out.
Needless to say, the parents of both sides, no one can be missing.
Which of the relationships you can ignore: the relatives you take care of, the relatives you are very close to, and the personal relationships between colleagues?
The salespersons' families were all the same, so they thought it was normal for two people to buy a lot of holiday gifts.
Although there are many things, I didn’t spend a lot of money. The main reason is that I prepared these gifts carefully. For example, in order to avoid making mistakes, I chose apples, which are a universal choice.
Another family put in two packs of mooncakes, and added a pack of sugar and a pack of biscuits to make it complete.
Except for the parents of both sides who got double portions of sugar and biscuits, everyone else's portions were treated equally.
Fortunately, when Zhang's mother came, she brought a backpack with her. She put all the items in the basket and tied them up with a rope before carrying them back.
Seeing that they bought a lot, the salesperson even gave Zhang's mother a pair of insoles and encouraged her to come back next time.
