Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Visit
"How should I know? She locks herself in the room every day except for going to school."
Xiaopang spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Okay! Then I'll go back and play with you later."
Zhang Mengyu was afraid to stay any longer as she was about to feel embarrassed, so she left quickly.
"Hey, let's go fishing in the river tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Xiaopang asked as he followed.
"go."
Zhang Mengyu said without turning his head.
Kids are like this, sometimes they fight and sometimes they make up. Adults are not as heartless as them.
"Brother, this is bad! When Little Fatty heard that you were admitted to university, she burst into tears."
Zhang Mengyu ran back home and said while standing at the door of her brother's room.
"Um?"
Zhang Mengzhi was packing his luggage and was completely confused by his sister's words.
"What does her crying have to do with my admission to university?"
He was admitted to university, why was it the fat sister who was crying?
"I don't know! She's quite strange."
Zhang Mengyu shook his head.
However, Mother Zhang, who was knitting, shook her head helplessly after listening to the conversation between her daughter and son.
"Xiao Zeng, do you know what's going on?"
Father Zhang asked his wife secretly.
"I know! But I don't want to tell you."
Mother Zhang threw the unfinished sweater at her husband, rolled her eyes at him, and stood up to go to the kitchen to boil water for his bath.
"Why?"
Mr. Zhang didn't know why his wife suddenly became unhappy. He put down the unfinished sweater and followed his wife into the kitchen.
Zhang Mengzhi returned home and would definitely go to visit her grandparents the next day.
They have been in poor health due to the early death of their son and daughter-in-law.
Zhang Mengzhi took the money and went to the butcher's shop to buy a piece of meat, about three or four pounds, and then bought some fruits, and went to his grandparents' house with them.
"Grandpa, grandma."
Zhang Mengzhi pushed open the door of the two-story building and saw her grandparents tending to the flowers and plants in the yard. The yard was very beautiful, full of flowers and plants, but unlike the Zhang family's yard, there were only a few vegetables.
Zhang Mengzhi's grandfather used to be the butler of a big boss. After they left China, they gave this two-story building to his grandfather.
"Meng Zhi is here."
My grandfather is a very cultured and knowledgeable man, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be the big boss's housekeeper.
My grandmother came from a well-off family when she was young and attended a girls' school. The witness was a relative from her mother's side, and the two sides were related by blood, so he had taken good care of my grandmother's family over the years.
This two-story building was saved because of him, and of course it was also because the Zhang family took care of it secretly.
"Grandpa and grandma, after not seeing you for a year, you are in much better spirits than before."
Zhang Mengzhi walked forward and supported the two elderly people.
"Come if you want, bring anything else."
The grandmother looked at the meat and fruit in her grandson's hands and said with heartache.
This must have cost a lot of money. Although my daughter is not short of money, she can't spend it lavishly!
"These are all for grandpa and grandma to eat. My mom said your oil tank is almost empty, so she asked me to cut a few more pounds to make some lard for you to eat."
Zhang Mengzhi put the pork in the kitchen and washed a plate of fruit.
"Without lard, wouldn't we know how to cut it ourselves? We just know how to spend money recklessly. Your father is the only one who earns money in your family. How can we spend it if we don't save money? Besides, you will be getting married in two years, and you will have to spend a lot of money again."
Although grandma said this, you could tell from her face that she was very happy.
The daughter and grandchildren thought of them, proving that their education was correct. As for the biological granddaughter, she also came to visit them from time to time, so the two old people had no regrets in their lives.
"Grandma, this money is not saved. And buying food for you, how can it be considered as spending it recklessly?"
Zhang Mengyu helped her grandparents sit down.
My grandfather is a man of few words. Even though he is very happy about the arrival of his grandson, he doesn't say much and lets his wife do all the talking.
"I can't argue with you. You've been talking since you were a kid."
The grandmother reached out and poked her grandson's forehead. She didn't know who this grandson looked like. He was very talkative since he was a child and would never suffer any loss.
In the past, when relatives came to our house, we couldn't help teasing him, but he would always tease us back in the end, and even leave them speechless.
"Hey, it's natural."
Zhang Mengzhi said this with pride instead of shame.
"Okay, my dear, let Mengzhi take a rest."
Grandpa brought a bowl of sugar water and handed it to his grandson.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Zhang Mengzhi took the sugar water and took a big sip.
The so-called sweet soup is made by boiling fermented glutinous rice and eggs in boiling water. The eggs are poached. When you use a spoon to scoop open the snow-white poached eggs, you can see the bright yellow yolk inside.
"grandmother."
Zhang Mengzhi, who always shares good things with elders, cut the egg into two, scooped it into a spoon and raised her hand to feed her grandmother.
“You!”
Knowing that his grandson was stubborn, he ate the egg in the spoon without hesitation.
"Grandpa."
After feeding grandma, I fed grandpa.
"good."
Grandpa ate it too.
He knew that his grandson would not eat alone, so he cooked two poached eggs. He and his wife shared one, and the grandson could eat the remaining one by himself.
Zhang Meng knew that if he didn't eat the rest, his grandparents would be angry, so he happily ate the fried egg and drank the rest of the sugar water.
"tasty."
Zhang Mengzhi said while touching his stomach after eating.
"You are the only one who doesn't despise your grandfather's craftsmanship."
Grandma watched her grandma's exaggerated movements with amusement.
The cooking skills of the Zeng family and the Zhang family are average, so the taste of the sugar soup is naturally average as well. It’s not bad, but it’s not delicious either.
Only the grandson is different. Every time he eats, he looks like he is eating delicacies from land and sea. If nothing else, at least the person who cooks the food must be very happy to see it.
That’s what my great-grandfather is like. My grandson is so kind. I’ll cook two more poached eggs for him next time.
"I'll do it for you next time."
"Okay, thank you grandpa."
Zhang Mengzhi took the bowl to the kitchen and washed it.
By the way, I processed the meat I brought. My grandparents also grow vegetables in their yard.
Zhang Mengzhi picked some peppers and loofahs, fried two dishes, and cooked a pot of rice, which was lunch for the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
"Mengzhi, follow me."
After lunch, the great-grandfather took his grandson into the study.
Originally the study was on the second floor, but when he got older, he converted the nanny's room into a study.
Now he and his wife live on the first floor and rarely go to the second floor.
In addition to the original study, the second floor also has the bedrooms of the son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Every month, Zhang's mother comes to help clean the second floor to make it look less shabby.
"Grandpa."
Sitting opposite the desk, Zhang Mengzhi put his hands on his knees.
"Mengzhi, how did you deal with the matter between you and the Wang family? Do you need grandpa's help?"
Grandpa and the Wang family lived relatively close. If the two families were not close, Grandpa would not have been schemed by the Wang family. He always suspected that the fact that he got lost was related to the Wang family.
Because he didn't take that road at first, but after seeing a figure, he followed it for some unknown reason and then got lost.
"No need, Grandpa. It has been handled. Just cancel the engagement."
The Zhang family had heard the news, so how could the Zeng family, who lived close to the Wang family, not hear anything? Even if grandpa and grandma didn't go out, there were always people visiting the Zeng family and always mentioning it.
"It's time to quit."
The grandfather supported his grandson's decision and always felt a little sorry for his grandson. If it weren't for him, his grandson wouldn't have been favored by the Wang family and would not have been engaged to a girl from the Wang family.
"Yes, we have different ideals and cannot work together. We and the Wang family cannot live together, and we will not be happy even if we force ourselves to be together."
Zhang Mengzhi had long seen through the nature of the Wang family, which was why she had kept her distance from them after her engagement.
"Yes, we cannot work together if we have different ideologies."
My great-grandfather had been around the big boss and had a lot of knowledge and decades of life experience. He had long seen that the Wang family was unreliable.
It's just that he was controlled by someone who used favors to control him, and in the end he had to arrange the engagement between his grandson and the daughter of the Wang family. Fortunately, they were both too young to get married at that time.
He had already understood his grandson's plan, so he did not say anything to stop him.
"Grandpa, you can't guard against it even if it's intentional!"
Knowing that grandpa had a knot in his heart, Zhang Mengzhi persuaded him.
"You don't blame me, and your mother doesn't blame me, but I blame myself."
If he had been more vigilant, he would not have been schemed against by the Wang family.
"Grandpa, everything is over. When the Wang family returns the betrothal money, I will have nothing to do with them anymore."
Zhang Mengzhi repeatedly advised my grandfather to let it go, but as long as he parted ways with the Wang family, my grandfather's knot would not be untied.
"That's good. That's good."
The great-grandfather’s knot in his heart could finally be untied, and he no longer had to worry about harming his grandson due to his own carelessness.
Grandma stood at the door of the study, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in her hand.
"Grandma, let me do it!"
Zhang Mengzhi walked over and took the tea from her grandmother with one hand, and with the other hand, helped her walk into the study and sit down.
"Mengzhi, grandma will find you a better one in the future. The daughter of the Wang family is not a good girl."
When the grandmother heard that her grandson's marriage was cancelled, she was happy but she did not forget about her grandson's lifelong event.
"Grandma, there's no rush. I still have to go to school. Let's talk about it later."
Zhang Mengzhi, who had never thought about getting married, said with a smile after hearing what her grandmother said.
Get married? No, he never wanted to get married.
It has nothing to do with the heroine. He is not so perverted as to take his anger out on all women because of the heroine.
He simply doesn't want to get married and prefers to live alone.
Before he traveled through time, although he was not rich, he made tens of thousands of yuan a month. In addition to paying for his one-bedroom house, he could save several thousand yuan every month. After a few years, he had a savings of 200,000 yuan. As long as he paid off the mortgage for a few more years, he would no longer have any foreign debt.
He has been buying five social insurances and one housing fund since he started working, so he doesn't have to worry about life when he gets old, so he has never thought about getting married.
Compared to the trivialities of marriage, he really enjoys single life.
When he is not working, he sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and occasionally travels around the city. His life is so comfortable.
