They didn't understand Zhang Hu's behavior.
"Is he getting old and confused? Reuniting with his granddaughter during the Chinese New Year? A married granddaughter..."
"Who says no? Doesn't he have a son and a daughter-in-law?"
"Not only that, I heard there are a bunch of adopted children of her granddaughters. What's the point of having so many people come together? None of them are her own blood."
"That's not true. Many people have had accidents in recent years, and there are many cases of people losing their family ties. But his granddaughter helped him a lot to avoid being sent down to the countryside! She has visited him frequently over the years..."
"Yes, this granddaughter means something different to him."
"Zhang Zhan is back. Now it's time to watch something interesting."
"Will the Zhang family cause trouble?"
"Who knows?"
Of course.
But it was not Zhang who caused the trouble, but he who was criticized.
There was no criticism at first.
After all, he and the old man have a brewing romance.
Qiao Yu was watching from the side.
Zhang Zhan has the opportunity to see his grandfather every year, but the meaning of their meeting at the Party School and in Beijing is different.
Zhang Zhan was happy for his father and finally regained his freedom.
The old man also felt grateful that he was no longer a burden to his grandchildren.
Oh, and a grandson-in-law as well.
Men and women express their touching moments differently: women hug, while men use small gestures like patting shoulders or touching heads.
After the little action was done and the sentimentality was over, Qiao Yu glanced at the jeep parked outside the door with a sinister look, "Hey, big brother, is this car still in good condition? Didn't it encounter road conditions?"
Zhang Zhan: "...It's just a traffic jam. My car is fine."
"Is that so?" Qiao Yu sighed, and then said, "Come, come, take a look at the reunion dinner our family is having."
She took out the photos she took on the first day of the new year and handed them over.
"..." Is this a weird thing? He just got home now?
Zhang Zhan: "Sister, I brought you a gift."
Is she the kind of person who can be won over by just any gift?
she is.
Zhang Zhan didn’t say that the gift was jadeite!
Qiao Yu had just gestured in the air when he met the old man's resentful gaze.
Old man: You agreed to scold me for me.
Qiao Yu coughed twice and gave the other person a calm look.
Qiao Yu: "Do you still have my gift?"
"No more."
OK
It's time to cross the river and dismantle the bridge.
Qiao Yu yelled at Zhang Zhan, "I asked you to take the train, but you did it to save a few bucks and drove back to show off! You didn't even make it on New Year's Day! Do you know how disappointed Grandpa was at that time?"
Don't you know that it's better to be safe than sorry? You were lucky to be safe this time when you encountered the avalanche! If you dare to do it again next time, I will not only tell you, but as your sister, I will be so angry that I will whip you!"
Blah blah.
Grandpa is unhappy on New Year's Day?
But who is the smiling person in the photo?
I understand. Someone who looks like grandpa.
Not the real grandpa.
Even if he is a real grandfather, he should feel sad that his grandson couldn't come back on New Year's Day.
The 1.80-meter-tall man lowered his eyes and let Qiao Yu scold him without saying a word. In his heart, he even found a better excuse for his grandfather, and finally doubted himself, thinking that he was unfilial...
puff.
Zhang Zhan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? What's so funny?!"
"Sorry, sis. I couldn't help it." After being in contact with his younger sister for a long time, he became quite dramatic inside.
"You⊙?e?" Qiao Yu cursed.
The old man finally saved the situation: "Yu, he just arrived, let him rest and get ready, it won't be too late to scold him after he's refreshed. He looks so sloppy, it will be annoying if you scold him for too long."
Good grandpa.
Qiao Yu successfully captured it.
Zhang Zhan pondered for a moment. Was his grandfather trying to save the situation? Or was it a delaying tactic? After all, his little sister had limited energy. If she vented her anger all at once, he would be at peace afterwards...
Can't think too much.
Zhang Zhan handed the gift to Qiao Yu.
Because he came back at the wrong time and the children had all gone out to play, he only explained which gifts were for which people and left the follow-up work to Qiao Yu, then went to the room on the second floor.
On the way, I saw the younger sisters and their adopted children in the living room on the first floor, discussing something.
It was as if something big had happened at home.
When I returned to the room, all the doubts in my mind were cleared away.
As soon as Zhou Jun and his family left, the room was cleaned and the bed sheets were replaced with new ones.
Zhang Zhan looked out the window. Everything seemed the same as when he left.
With regrets and a little reluctance, I have now returned home in glory.
I opened the wicker suitcase, found some spare clothes and towels, and went into the shower room.
The shower at home is more convenient, hot water comes out right away...
After Zhang Zhan finished washing and went downstairs, he saw his younger sister's children sitting together. He moved closer and heard what "important matter" they were discussing.
"What other corners are missing?"
"In every room and shower."
“The kitchen is where they are most often placed.”
"And under the refrigerator."
"When Auntie Wang comes back to clean, she won't be able to find the body under the refrigerator. Can we help move the refrigerator?"
Looking at these faces, each one is more serious than the other.
Zhang Zhan had a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What corpse?"
What kind of corpse could be small enough to hide in a refrigerator? And they were discussing it openly in his grandfather's house?
Doesn't the righteous old man feel that there's something wrong?
"Of course it's the body of a cockroach, what else could it be?" Xiaoyong turned his head impatiently, and seeing Zhang Zhan's obviously pissed-off expression, he quickly called out politely, "Uncle."
"Yeah." Zhang Zhan restrained his expression, took out the red envelope he had prepared, and handed it over, "Happy New Year."
"No, no, we are all working. Uncle, you can give the red envelopes to the younger generation."
"Okay." Zhang Zhan took it back without hesitation and said concisely.
He always wondered what it would be like for a child raised by his younger sister.
Now I see it.
It's too shameful to watch.
You look so serious even when dealing with a cockroach, is that really the case?
Zhang Zhan sneered in his heart and said, "There are cockroaches in the house?"
"Yes, I found it in the room Yan Zi and I live in. There are cockroaches in the bedroom, so there must be more in the kitchen. Mom knows how to make cockroach medicine, so she put some in every corner of the house."
"Your mom also knows how to make cockroach medicine?"
Qiao Yu snorted twice: "You look down on me, don't you?"
The doctor is also good at poison. Cockroach medicine is a kind of poison that can kill a whole nest of cockroaches.
People can eat it too! Unfortunately, you can only eat it once in your lifetime.
It's not surprising that she can do it, right?
She can even disguise herself!
A small cockroach medicine, grasp it.
Zhang Zhan: "What other medicine do you make?"
"There's nothing I can't do, only things you can't think of."
"..." It's the same as saying nothing.
Zhang Zhan wiped his dripping hair, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "There are many children in the family, so they won't accidentally eat cockroach medicine, right?"
Qiao Yu: "We have warned them, but if they still rebel...well, we have also prepared the antidote at home."
Zhang Zhan was speechless and said, "You are very thoughtful."
"I can't help it. This family always causes trouble for me every now and then. I can only think of the worst possible outcome after every incident. Not being prepared = groping in the dark = being in a mess."
=The heart of Tao is unstable.
Finally, Qiao Yu added in his heart.
