Chapter 108 Moving to a new house, Zhang's father is happy
"Is this appropriate? They have to come all the way here! And when we move to a scholarly family in the future, won't it be even farther away?" Zhang's mother frowned.
Zhang Wanwan had never thought about this. After pondering for a moment, she said, "How about this, I'll discuss it with Leng Ziyue and see what he means. Anyway, just don't give him money, otherwise we may not even be able to be friends anymore!"
After being frightened by Zhang Wanwan, Zhang's mother never mentioned the issue of giving money again. As they were going to move later, Zhang's mother didn't want to think about this issue anymore.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, the family closed the door and carried large and small bags to the new house. Because they were moving, they also had to carry a red basket with an incense burner and burning incense sticks. Zhang's father's legs were not in good condition, so Zhang's mother had to take him on a motorcycle. The red basket was left at Zhang Baiyan's place, and the brother and sister rode a bicycle together, chasing Zhang's mother's motorcycle.
Fortunately, it is almost late at night now, and there are not as many vehicles on the street as at eight or nine o'clock, and the air feels a lot fresher.
The two chatted and laughed as they entered the scholarly family. The security guard asked them a symbolic question and then let them in. At this time, Zhang's father and mother had already parked their motorcycle downstairs and waved at the brother and sister.
"Hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time." Zhang's mother looked at her watch. It was less than ten minutes until midnight.
Zhang Baiyan parked the car swiftly, handed the things to Zhang's mother, and then went to support Zhang's father.
Zhang Wanwan also hurried over to help. It would only take a few minutes to go from downstairs to upstairs, but Zhang's father's legs couldn't walk fast, so he could only go slowly.
The family went upstairs. Zhang's mother looked at the time and saw that there were still two minutes left, so she simply took out the newly bought fire basin and opened the door of the new house. They worshipped outside first, and then burned gold paper when the time was almost right. Then the family stepped over the fire basin and entered the new house.
Zhang's mother walked in front. A bottle of water with cattail and jasmine flowers in it had been placed on the altar in the room. Zhang's mother dipped a branch in the water and threw it over one by one.
Zhang Wanwan only felt that the water was icy cold, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly.
After the gift giving ceremony, Zhang's mother went to worship in the new house. The house was brightly lit and all the furniture was brand new, making it look grand and warm.
Father Zhang looked around the new house, and the depression in his heart suddenly eased a little. He let Zhang Baiyan help him to the sofa, and he let out a comfortable moan.
While putting away her luggage, Zhang Wanwan asked with a smile, "Dad, it's already past twelve o'clock, aren't you going to rest?"
Father Zhang shook his head and sighed, "If my leg injury hadn't healed yet, I would really like to take your brother out for a drink. Today is a big day for our family. Dad has worked so hard for so many years. The only time he was really happy was when he married your mom, and that was when you two were born. Today is the happiest day of my life in the past decade. It would be a pity if I didn't have a drink."
The brother and sister looked at each other, and Zhang Wanwan said, "Dad, according to what you said, you are not happy that I got the first place in the high school entrance examination? Are you not happy that my brother went to a key university? Are you not happy that you and we can make so much money now? It's just that the house is a concern for you."
"Hahaha, girl, you're right, it's true! In fact, ever since you got first place in the city last year, dad has felt that our family's feng shui seems to have improved. Not only have you two siblings done well, but your mom and I have also become capable. We now have a house, and when your brother goes to college and gets his driver's license, we can buy a car and everything will be ready. You don't have to feel inferior to others and can't hold your head up anymore. Look at your mom now, she's very assertive in everything she says and does, and she's completely different from the timid person she used to be."
Father Zhang was in a good mood and actually made fun of Mother Zhang in front of her, which earned her several cold stares from Mother Zhang. If Mother Zhang had not been concentrating on praying, the couple would have certainly had another argument.
Zhang Wanwan saw that Zhang's father was in a good mood and not sleepy at all. She looked at Zhang Boyan sympathetically and said, "Brother, have a good chat with our dad. I'm going to sleep."
Zhang Baiyan glared and threatened immediately: "Haven't you finished your homework? Anyway, school hasn't started yet, and you have nothing to do tomorrow, so why are you going to bed so early? I still have to go to the stall with my mom tomorrow, so I'm going to bed!"
When Father Zhang heard about the stall, he immediately became concerned and asked seriously, "Girl, are you sure no one else will come and cause trouble?"
"Dad, don't worry! There are also gangs in Pu City, but ordinary people like us don't know about it. My classmates said that they have already informed them, and the people in charge will take better care of them in the future. Even if someone calls gangsters to the downtown area again, they will deal with it. Don't worry at all. Besides, the police didn't solve the case last time we called the police. If something like that happens again, where will they put their faces? The mastermind behind the scenes also needs to think about it, right?"
When Zhang Wanwan thought of Huang Guilian, a cold light flashed in her eyes. When Leng Ziyue told her the result of the handling, she knew that it was most likely Huang Guilian who did it. Leng Ziyue did not deny it, but just asked her to calm down and do nothing, and he would handle it.
Because she believed in Leng Ziyue's ability and was afraid of ruining his plans, Zhang Wanwan kept it to herself and didn't even tell her family. Zhang Baiyan now only suspected that the matter was related to Huang Guilian, but he had no evidence and would not talk nonsense.
Zhang's father felt relieved when he saw Zhang Wanwan's assurance. He said to the others, "Then you should go to bed quickly. Don't stay up here any longer. You may not be used to sleeping in the new house. You may even have insomnia tonight! The child's mother should also go to rest after you're done with your work. Just bring me a sheet. I'll make some tea and watch some TV. If you're sleepy, you can sleep on the sofa. Don't worry about me."
Without a second thought, Zhang's mother brought out a bed sheet from the gray room and considerately moved out the toilet that Zhang's father used. "If you need to go to the toilet, move it yourself. If you can't, call me."
Zhang's father waved his hands and didn't care much. His leg was almost healed and recovered much faster than ordinary people. At this rate, the plaster could be removed in a while. Now he could move on his own, but his speed was slow, like a turtle.
Mother Zhang stopped worrying about it and said before leaving, "Since we've moved to a new house, why don't we inform our relatives so they don't come to our old house to look for us in the future? I didn't tell any of the neighbors about the move this time to avoid them getting jealous."
Father Zhang fell into deep thought, and Mother Zhang ignored him and went back to her room.
At this time, Zhang Wanwan had already taken a shower and was sitting on her big bed. Her previous bed in the old house was very small, only 1.2 meters. When she moved to the rental house, the bed inside was 1.5 meters, which was a little bigger. But that bed was not theirs after all, so she didn't feel much when sleeping on it. Now this new bed was custom-made by Zhang's father. It was made of better solid wood. It was not only strong but also large. It was estimated to be 1.8 meters long.
