Ping An glared at his brother. Remembering that these people also included his grandparents, he quickly changed the subject, "What's the situation over there right now?"
"Grandpa and grandma didn't live in the provincial capital, so we bought the yard for nothing. My second grandmother said on the phone that my aunt had been in the provincial capital with my uncle, but now she and her son have returned to the county town for the holidays."
Liuyi snorted, "Brother, look, wasn't it resolved well? They just know how to make things difficult for us. Does my dad owe them anything?"
Wuyi opened his mouth and closed it again.
He even regretted telling his father about his grandfather calling him. When his brother got angry, he could do anything.
"They're still smart enough not to bother our father anymore. Otherwise, I would have asked them, if that old woman was decades younger and had no place to live, would she give it to my dad? Otherwise, what other family would go to their brother-in-law next door to solve every little problem after their brothers have split up and even have grandchildren?"
Wuyi suppressed his laughter when he heard this and quickly advised: "Little brother, you think too much..."
"And you!" Liuyi immediately turned his head to face him. "I always said you were smart. With you at home, my brother and I don't have to worry about the family. But now I see you're pretty stupid!"
Wuyi opened his mouth in surprise, pointed at himself, and looked at Ping'an: Is he talking about me? Everyone knows that my IQ is higher than that of ordinary people.
"Still don't believe it? You said you received the letter, so why did you tell Mom? You know Mom is so busy that she's exhausted from using her brain every day, why don't you go straight to Dad? No matter how Dad deals with the people back home, he's more suitable than Mom."
Ping An kicked Liu Yiyi's leg with a smile, "That's enough, you're saying all kinds of nonsense." He is so bold that he can say such nonsense to his father when his aunt, who is decades younger than him, is so bold!
—Be careful, Wuyi will complain to father, he will be skinned alive if he doesn’t die! He dares to say anything, these two silly brothers really make him worry!
Liuyi was stopped by him and shook his head speechlessly, stretched out his hands and began to make tea. It wasn't that he was being overly suspicious, but his father couldn't make up his mind for various reasons, so it was better for him, as a son, to relieve his father's worries!
Fortunately, his father refused this time. He could imagine that if he continued to tolerate it, there would probably be more trouble in the future, and all kinds of trivial matters would come up.
Those people back home didn't realize it at all.
His father, Zhang Guoqing, is no longer the same person he used to be. Not to mention that he already has three sons, given his current status, he can no longer act rashly.
Does he still want his father to support the Zhang family by risking his life through hunting, just like before, or does he want his father to raise a bunch of nephews and even great-grandchildren at their command?
He is most annoyed by those who get something for nothing and yet don't know how to be satisfied.
Do you still want your whole family to benefit from your success?
Wake up! It's destroyed early in the morning!
Wuyi waited until he calmed down and explained, "Brother, those are Dad's brothers. The three of them are the same as the three of us. I didn't look for Dad because I was afraid of embarrassing him."
Liuyi looked up and glanced at him, then continued to make tea.
"It would be better if our father rejected them voluntarily. If he rejected Grandpa and the others for the sake of our three brothers' wishes, would he feel happy? I want to mention this to Mom and hope she can persuade him."
"nonsense!"
"What nonsense? That's our father, dear father!"
Liuyi rolled his eyes at him amusedly. "I know our father is our real father. But have you ever thought about it? Those people are trying to embarrass our father!"
Ping An and Wu Yi understood the implication clearly. Since they were going to embarrass their father, why would they care about whether they were elders or not, or brothers or not.
"Is Xiaowu back? Jiaojiao is upstairs, Ping'an and Liuyi are home, I'll start dinner right away."
"Oh, these two wild boys are finally home. If they don't come back, my mother will rush to the school to ask for them." Zhang Guoqing's laughter spread.
Upon hearing this, the three brothers in the study quickly stood up.
"Don't talk about these things in front of Dad."
"I understand."
"Let's spend some time with Dad these days to make him happy."
Wuyi rolled his eyes as he watched Liuyi dash out the door. He was the family's funny guy, and no matter how fast you ran, I still had to keep you entertained.
Ping An and Liu Yi stood in front of Zhang Guoqing and asked, "Dad, you got off work late today. Are you very busy?"
"We wanted to pick you up from get off work, but my mom was home alone."
Zhang Guoqing pulled his sons over one by one and looked them over, lowering his voice, "Are you okay?"
The two brothers smiled at each other, and Ping An quickly comforted him, "Dad, we are all fine."
"Dad, we can go to the bathhouse with you later."
Zhang Guoqing felt relieved when he heard Liuyi say that. If someone had the guts to ask to take a bath together, then he really wasn't hurt.
"Dad, you only see my two brothers, but not me?"
When Zhang Guoqing saw his youngest son approaching, he slapped him on the forehead and said with a smile, "Are you jealous yet? That makes you a little girl."
Wuyi looked at him sadly, "I knew that distance creates beauty. As expected, I've been hanging around you every day, and you don't care about me anymore."
Zhou Jiao, who lived upstairs, was tidying up a pile of daily necessities in her bedroom when she heard Aunt Chen and Zhang Guoqing greeting each other in the yard downstairs.
Since the old house was renovated, two of the basements she had reserved were occupied by her sons' "junk", and the remaining one was in her yard.
It's a pity that the space inside is not big enough.
And she didn't dare let Zhang Guoqing dig another basement.
The excavated soil would be easy to deal with if she had the space. She could just dump it in a ravine or in the wild. The key was that she was afraid that someone would take it away in the future if something unexpected happened.
The basement beneath the original pond was quite large, but it was left by the previous owner. Although it was empty and no longer had any inventory, who knew if anyone knew how to use it was still there.
So she gave it directly to her sons as their "treasure room".
It's not that she looked down on the children's rags, but the things in her hands were precious. Any one of them was not only a treasure but also a commemorative item.
Now, the basement in her courtyard has a lot of furniture taken out from the space, but it is still not enough. She doesn’t know what’s going on?
She must have been frightened by the famine that year, as she could not change her strange habit of collecting good things whenever she came across them. As a result, she would empty a corner and soon fill it up again.
But times are different after all.
Like fabric, ordinary ones, if they take up space, it will be a waste of resources.
And game.
Her husband and sons seemed to be competing with each other. There were still prey that had not been slaughtered in the space. Should they find time to deal with them during the New Year?
"Wife, why are you hiding in the room?"
"Put things in order."
Zhou Jiao opened the door and let him in, but he didn't have time to ask for anything.
Zhang Guoqing smiled and told her a piece of news: he had made an appointment with Yi Jiefang and others to go hunting the day after tomorrow, and this time he would drive her to go hunting.
So... we still need to stuff things into the space?
