Chapter 32 You are still young

On the way to the Zhao family compound, the cheerful chatter of younger sister Zheng Shan could be heard.

The Seventh Young Master was still sitting in Gaoyuan's car, but Zheng Fa accompanied his mother and sister, sitting in the ox cart that took him to the Zhao Mansion.

He held his younger sister Zheng Shan in his arms, while Zheng's mother sat in the back of the car, looking after the few belongings they had.

It was my first time to go out on a long journey. Looking at the monotonous rice fields around me, I found them very interesting and kept asking:

"Brother, is the city really that lively?"

"I heard Wang Gui boast that everything is for sale in the city. Can you take me for a look?"

"What will our new home be like? Can I have my own bed?"

Her questions seemed endless, and Zheng Fa answered them in a disjointed manner.

Although there was a smile on the mother's face, Zheng Fa could see a hint of sadness in it.

"Mom?" he asked with concern.

"Going to the city... Mom is a little nervous." Zheng's mother said embarrassedly.

The old man who was driving the cart was the first to comfort her: "Madam, your son has made a name for himself. You should just wait and enjoy the good life. Why are you so anxious?"

Mother Zheng said, "I know, I know."

She looked at Zheng Fa with a little pride, but still sighed: "My son is so respectable, I am afraid that if I go, I will become a burden to you."

Zheng Shan looked at her mother in confusion, and Zheng Fa wanted to speak up to ask her mother to relax.

Mother Zheng stopped Zheng Fa from talking: "Mother has never been out of the village, and doesn't have much experience. I have heard that living in this city, a bowl of tea and a grain of rice cost money..."

The old man also had a sympathetic expression when he heard this: "Who says it's not true? The city is good, but you can't live without money!"

"Mom, you don't have to worry about money. After all, the city is peaceful. I plan to send my younger sister to school after we enter the city." Zheng Fa said.

"It's good to be peaceful." After hearing the word "peaceful", the confusion on Zheng's mother's face became much less.

Zheng Fa understood her best and knew that her father's death had dealt a heavy blow to her - no matter how bad the city was, the city walls could stop the monsters from causing chaos, which was enough to convince his mother.

"It's just that this school, isn't it a bit too expensive for a girl?" The mother was a little skeptical about this.

"My little sister is smart. It's a pity that she doesn't go to school. Besides, didn't I just tell you that you don't have to worry about money?" Zheng Fa, who has experienced the modern world, is much more persistent about education than his mother.

Looking at her son's determined face, Zheng's mother nodded.

Unconsciously, Zheng Fa has become the backbone of this family.

Mother Zheng held Zheng Shan's little hand and looked back at the luggage in the back of the car.

The largest one is a loom that Zheng's mother disassembled.

"When I get to the city, I'll go to the clothing shops and ask if there are any odd jobs," she said firmly.

"I don't want my own bed either..." Zheng Shan understood that her mother wanted to save some money for her tuition. She said with a troubled face, "If we go to the city, there will be no pig grass leaves for me to pick!"

The old man driving the car laughed out loud and said, "Madam, judging from your determination and your daughter's filial piety, your life will surely get better and better!"

Mother Zheng thanked him with a smile, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

…

But after entering the city, the worry on Zheng's mother's face became even more serious.

The more prosperous the city became, the more worried she looked.

When she saw the prices of rice and flour in the grain store, she looked a little uneasy.

Zheng Fa knew that she was frightened by the prices.

The ox cart passed through the familiar street and arrived at the back gate of the Zhao mansion.

Compared to Huang Yu, who came here for the first time, Zheng's mother and Zheng Shan were even worse. Even Zheng Shan, who had always been clever, held Zheng Fa's arm tightly, looking a little scared.

Gao Yuan was waiting at the back door. When he saw the oxcart coming, he said directly, "The young master said that you don't need to get off the car, just go in directly."

Zheng Fa felt a little warm in his heart. Normally, this ox cart could not enter the Zhao Mansion.

The Seventh Young Master obviously thought of this.

The old man driving the cart looked at Zheng Fa with a little more awe in his eyes.

The residence that the lady awarded to Zheng Fa was in a corner of the Zhao family's house, far away from the core area of ​​the Zhao family and very remote.

But... this is an independent courtyard! The moment she saw the courtyard wall, Zheng Shan opened her mouth wide and asked in disbelief: "Is this courtyard all ours?"

Zheng Fa nodded.

Zheng Shan leaned forward, and was so excited that she seemed to jump out of Zheng Fa's arms.

The ox cart approached the gate of the courtyard, and a fat figure stood at the door with several large loads beside him and several male servants carrying the loads.

"Coming?"

This person greeted Zheng Fa and the others enthusiastically.

Zheng Fa looked at this somewhat unfamiliar man, and heard Gao Yuan beside him speak a little embarrassedly: "Zheng Fa, this is my father."

Zheng Fa quickly jumped out of the car and said to the visitor, "Hello, Uncle Gao!"

Mother Zheng also got out of the car with Zheng Shan. She looked at Zheng Fa with a puzzled look. Zheng Fa explained in a low voice to Mother Zheng, "Gao Yuan's father, the housekeeper of the second house."

Mother Zheng looked as if she was shocked.

According to her understanding, the housekeeper is a big shot - compared to the housekeeper, Manager Wang on the manor is nothing.

Mother Zheng bowed and was about to greet him, but she saw Gao's family bowing first and said, "This must be Madam Zheng, nice to meet you!"

Mother Zheng was stunned.

When the old man driving the coach called her Madam, she looked a little awkward.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Now even this senior family member called her that, and she seemed to have no idea how to respond.

As if seeing that she was speechless, the Gao family had a friendly smile on their face: "My son is grateful for your son's help. Today I heard that your family moved to a new house, so I came here uninvited and prepared some small gifts."

He pointed to several large boxes at the back.

Zheng Fa spoke up: "Uncle Gao, you are too polite. This gift looks quite generous."

"It looks like a lot, but they are actually worthless stuff!" Gao's family smiled naively, "I just thought that since you just moved in and there's no time to make furniture or buy rice, flour, grain, and oil, I prepared some for you."

Zheng Fa looked at the carved step-out bed behind him which looked very valuable and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Zheng Fa didn't say anything, Gao Jia's face showed a little uneasiness.

"Uncle is so thoughtful!" Finally, Zheng Fa's words made a smile appear on his face.

"You're welcome, nephew!"

"In the future, I will urge Brother Gao more." Zheng Fa suddenly said sincerely.

Gao Yuan on the side: "Ah?"

The politeness on the senior executive's face dropped a lot, revealing sincere surprise: "Okay! Push me to death... urge me!"

On the side, Zheng's mother heard the old man driving the cart mutter: "This good day comes so easily."

She looked back at her cherished loom, which was so big and seemed a little redundant.

…

The Zhao family moved into the yard and settled down.

Gao Yuan followed the senior executive and walked away, with a somewhat depressed look on his face.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm trying to curry favor with others?"

The senior executive knew what his son was thinking as soon as he saw his son's face.

"Dad, Zheng Fa and I are friends..."

"How did you keep your position as a book boy? Don't you know it? How many people in the mansion are willing to accept this gift in exchange for the position of a book boy?"

"father?"

"Remember, the longer you want your friendship to last, the more you should not take other people's kindness for granted."

Gao Yuan understood and nodded in satisfaction.

"Besides, who am I doing this for? Zheng Fa will at least be the Seventh Young Master's confidant in the future. If you are generous now, you will benefit from it in the future."

"I know, Dad!"

Gao Yuan felt guilty and touched. His father gave Zheng Fa a gift for his own good. How could he say that he was trying to curry favor with him?

"In fact, we don't have to wait until later..." A cunning look appeared on Gao's face. "I heard that Zheng Fa might have the possibility of entering the Immortal Gate. A few days ago, the Seventh Young Master had a quarrel with his wife because of him, and in the end, his wife rewarded him with a courtyard!"

"Dad, what you mean is..."

"What I mean is that even if the Seventh Young Master doesn't need to use him in the future, Madam is very optimistic about Zheng Fa!" At this point, the Gao family patted Gao Yuan's shoulder and said, "You are still young and you can't grasp it."

"ah?"

"Let me hug your thighs first."
