The uncle and nephew chatted for a long time. When it was time for dinner, Uncle Liu left Zhang's house in a hurry.
Grandma Zhang, who was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, had no time to call out to Uncle Liu before he had already walked away.
"Xiao Meng, why don't you ask your uncle to stay at our house for dinner? Grandma has already prepared the meal."
Now the family is not as poor as before, and we can still afford to treat people to a meal.
Zhang Meng smiled and explained to Grandma Zhang, "Grandma, why didn't I persuade my uncle to stay for dinner? It's just that he was always thinking about making money and refused to eat. Forget it, my uncle didn't have the pleasure to eat, so we can eat by ourselves."
To welcome Uncle Liu's arrival, Grandma Zhang cooked a lot of delicious food, including three bowls of meat dishes alone, not to mention chicken soup.
"Today's dish is delicious. I wish I could eat such delicious food every day." Monk Jingchen's mouth was full of oil and his face was full of satisfaction.
"You're dreaming. You've given our family living expenses? And you still want to eat delicious food every day? Go back to your own home and eat." Grandma Zhang immediately scolded her angrily.
Monk Jingchen was not angry, and seemed to be enjoying it. "My house hasn't been built yet. Once it's built, I will definitely move in. As for the money, why are you talking about it in such a vulgar way?" Grandma Zhang snorted.
Zhang Meng and little Zhang Tao, who were sitting on the side, were already used to all this. On the contrary, if the two elders didn't quarrel for a day, they would feel a little uncomfortable.
After lunch, when the family of four was sitting in the yard chatting, a group of children's voices were heard outside the Zhang family, and some were calling little Zhang Tao's name.
Little Zhang Tao, who was sitting on Monk Jingchen, thought that it was his friend who came to play with him, so he ran out happily.
Not long after, the little guy came in with a group of children from the village. Behind them, a couple who were obviously not from here followed in.
"Sister Zhang Meng, these two people came to see you, and we brought them to your house." One of the children who came in with little Zhang Tao ran up to Zhang Meng with a look of wanting credit, turned around and pointed at the couple behind them.
"Thank you. Your Grandma Zhang has some candy. Go ask her for it."
As soon as she said this, the children who came in immediately ran to Grandma Zhang to ask for candy.
After the children left, Zhang Meng walked over to the couple who had followed them in and asked, "Who are you two?"
"You must be Comrade Zhang Meng, right? We heard from Xiao Yi that you and your husband are famous. We are from Shanghai and we need your help with something."
Zhang Meng glanced at the child in the woman's arms and frowned slightly, "It's your child's business, right?"
The woman, who had been rather unenthusiastic to begin with, came over excitedly upon hearing Zhang Meng's words. She held the one-year-old child in one arm and firmly grasped Zhang Meng's hand with the other, "Comrade Zhang Meng, you must help us."
This time, Zhang Meng saw the child in her arms up close. It was clearly a delicate child, but the expression on the child's face made people feel cold all over.
"How long has your child been like this?" The woman immediately answered when Zhang Meng asked, "It started half a year ago. At first, we thought he was just playing with us because he wasn't like this sometimes and was quite cute. But recently, we don't know what's wrong. He looks so gloomy every day. We, we knew there was something wrong with him."
After the woman finished speaking, she immediately wiped away her tears.
She gave birth to this child several years after marrying into her husband's family. There were many twists and turns when giving birth to this child. This child is her life now, and nothing can happen to him.
The man next to her saw the woman crying so sadly and wiped her tears out of pity.
"Comrade Zhang Meng, we are good friends with Xiao Yi. We have heard about your abilities from him. We are really at our wit's end this time and have no choice but to come to you for help."
The man glanced at his son in his wife's arms, his face full of fatigue.
Their family has suffered so much for this child.
"I understand. Please come in first." Zhang Meng stepped aside and invited the couple into the main room.
As soon as he entered the main room, the child in the woman's arms suddenly cried and screamed, as if someone was hurt, and struggled in the woman's arms.
"What's wrong with this child? Why is he crying like this as soon as he comes in?" The woman was anxious and tried to coax and beg him, but it was no use.
Zhang Meng glanced at the child who was emitting black air, nodded in understanding, took out a piece of talisman from his pocket and placed it on the child's neck. After a while, the child immediately calmed down and showed a childlike innocent smile.
"He's smiling, he's smiling, the child is finally smiling." When the woman saw the child in her arms smiling like this, she was so happy that she was incoherent.
It was the man next to her who explained to Zhang Meng, "Comrade Zhang Meng, this child has been laughing lately, but his laugh is so creepy, unlike this time. This time, his laugh is completely like a child's smile, very beautiful."
Zhang Meng raised her hand towards him, interrupting his explanation. "Don't say anything. I already know. I'm going to ask you a question, and you just need to answer it honestly. Was this lady pregnant with twins when she was pregnant with this child?"
The woman who was playing with the child looked up in surprise when she heard Zhang Meng's question, and then looked at the man next to her.
At this moment, the man and the woman had the same expression, both of them were extremely surprised.
"Comrade Zhang Meng, how do you know this?"
