Chapter 342: Zhang's father's exclamation, the person he missed
"Why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy that I can speak?" As Zhang's mother said this, she also started crying. She tried to be strong in front of her daughter, for fear that her daughter would be influenced by her and become negative. But in front of Zhang's father, she didn't have to pretend to be so hard. She could cry when she wanted to cry and laugh when she wanted to laugh.
Father Zhang looked at Mother Zhang without blinking and said excitedly, "You are really much better! Before, you couldn't even sit up in the city, and you couldn't even talk. It's been less than two months, and you can not only talk, but you can also sit up straight. Let's go to the hospital for a follow-up check and see what the doctor says."
Father Zhang wished he could take Mother Zhang to the hospital right now, as many hospital directors would not be at work tomorrow.
"Don't worry, I promised you that I'll go for a follow-up check after the Spring Festival and when the doctor goes to work."
Zhang's mother picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of rice as if she was offering a treasure. "Look! I can still eat by myself!"
"Okay, okay, okay..." Father Zhang said "Okay" several times. His back straightened instantly and he seemed to be much younger. He had a lot to say to Mother Zhang, but he didn't know where to start.
Zhang Wanwan took Zhang's father's luggage back to the room before coming over and adding a pair of chopsticks for him. "Dad, you probably haven't eaten yet. Drink some porridge to warm your stomach first. I'll get some soy milk later, so you don't have to worry about not having anything to eat."
Zhang's father was delighted. He took the bowl and chopsticks and said, "You didn't even tell me that your mother was well. Look, I'm so excited that I can't even sit still!"
Zhang Wanwan rolled her eyes at him, "Dad, haven't I taken my mom for a checkup yet? What can I tell you? Besides, it will take a few days for my mom to speak normally. Oh, by the way, after she's full, you can help her walk in the yard. The swelling in her legs has almost subsided, and she has more strength. She needs to exercise slowly to get back to normal."
"Really?" Zhang's father asked in surprise, and he was so excited that he shook the chopsticks to the ground.
Zhang's mother nodded with a smile, "Yes, I can walk slowly by myself now, but I get tired easily. But it feels good to walk and sweat."
"This is good, this is good!" Zhang's father smiled like a fool. He didn't care whether the chopsticks that fell on the ground were dirty or not. He picked them up, wiped them with a tissue, and then took big mouthfuls of food and drank porridge.
After taking just two bites, he opened his eyes wide and praised: "This fried duck egg is really delicious! And the porridge is delicious too. I feel that the food in the countryside is more flavorful than our city, and it tastes much better! No wonder you got better so quickly after living here for a while! If I had known, I would have sent you back earlier so that you would have suffered less."
Zhang's mother felt warm in her heart, but she said angrily, "How can you have the time to send me here? It just so happens that the girl is free now, and it is more convenient for her to take care of me, otherwise I would not come back!
But after renovating my old home, it is still quite comfortable to live in. There is a big yard. Every day when I wake up, I can see the green vegetable field, which makes me feel much better. By the way, the girl also raised some chickens and ducks on the roof over there, saying that they are for my health. I want to see what she will do with those chickens and ducks when they grow up. A pair of ducks given by an uncle from my family are still alive and kicking on the roof, hehe..."
Zhang Wanwan remained calm even after her mother exposed her shortcomings. She glanced at her father and said, "Dad, it's time for you to show your ability as the head of the family. I'll take you up there later. Catch two chickens and ducks and kill them for the ancestral worship tomorrow. I've already cleaned the ancestral hall. It's cleaner than when Grandpa was alive. Now I'll go in and burn a stick of incense every day, every day. What do you think? Isn't your daughter filial enough?"
Father Zhang rubbed her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
After dinner, Zhang Wanwan took her father to visit the old house. Her father saw that several rooms painted white were filled with new furniture, just like a new house. It looked very comfortable. The bathroom also really surprised him. He couldn't stop talking about it since he entered. When he saw the ancestral hall, it was really as clean as Zhang Wanwan said. He felt very happy and praised her a lot.
After that, they went up to the roof and saw a group of half-grown chickens and ducks in high spirits. Zhang's father was really happy. He sighed to Zhang Wanwan, "You didn't even go into the kitchen a few times before. I thought you couldn't live independently. I didn't expect that after going to college, you even got started with raising chickens, ducks and vegetables. Not bad, not bad. Your mother is best to eat food you cook yourself for her illness. I feel more at ease. The meat and vegetables sold outside are all problematic. They are definitely not as good as the ones we grow and raise ourselves!"
Zhang Wanwan nodded in agreement.
After getting off the roof, Zhang's father immediately went to accompany Zhang's mother, while Zhang Wanwan could busy herself with her own affairs without any worries. From time to time in the room, she heard what Zhang's father and mother said. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. Looking at the sunlight shining into the room, she sighed in her heart that although life was difficult, fortunately, everything was not too late!
Picking up the phone, she hesitated for a moment and called Zhang Baiyan.
"Brother, when will you come back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year?"
Zhang Baiyan was busy, and he looked at the calendar next to the table and said, "I have to work until the 29th, but I can leave work an hour earlier that day. I will go directly to the station after get off work and arrive around 6 or 7."
Zhang Wanwan was delighted when she heard this. "Okay, let me know when you're almost there, and I'll pick you up on my electric bike."
"You bought an electric car?" Zhang Baiyan was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to say anything more. "I'll go there tomorrow night and talk about it. Do you want to bring anything?"
"No need, I'm hanging up!"
After Zhang Wanwan hung up the phone, she thought of Leng Ziyue. When she returned to this life, she had never had any connection with him. She didn't know whether he was still so close to Tian Sen in this life, and where was he and what was he doing now?
The person Zhang Wanwan was talking about suddenly sneezed, stared out the window with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, slowly placed his hand on his heart, and murmured: "Did your master have an unforgettable lover in his life? Otherwise, why do I always have those strange dreams..."
At this time, a message came on WeChat. Leng Ziyue looked down and saw that it was from Tian Sen, that scumbag.
Tian Sen: Brother, Happy New Year! You know how busy I am right now. Without further ado, I am short of money. Can you give me some more?
Leng Ziyue: (with a cold face) When did I become your ATM?
Tian Sen: (collapsed) It’s really urgent! My company is launching a new product and needs some operating funds. All the money I used before was used for project development. You also have shares in this company, you can’t just stand by and watch it die!
Leng Ziyue: You treat me as a shareholder now? Why didn't you ask for my opinion when you brought people in before?
