Chapter 243 Past Events
A few people saw that Chen Yan was a relative of several people in the restaurant, and knew that Zhang Jing was also a relative of the restaurant owner.
"Brother Yan, we can be said to have known each other for a long time. Let's have a drink here today to apologize for our first meeting."
Zhang Bo, the leader among the group, looked at Chen Yan and said.
"What's the use of saying sorry? It's fate that we met. I'll treat you to a meal. It's also a way to get to know you brothers. Let's keep in touch in the future."
Chen Yan smiled.
Chen Yan knew that he had no roots in the region. The young people in front of him were local residents. They had already given him a way out, so he couldn't put on airs.
Several people immediately started ordering food in the restaurant and each ordered half a pound of wine.
After drinking, we agreed to come together to purchase goods tomorrow.
Chen Yan drank half a catty of wine, said goodbye to everyone, and then hurried back home.
By the time we got home, it was already dark.
At this time, everyone was watching TV in front of Chen Yan's house. For this purpose, an awning was built, which could seat more than 30 people.
Zhao Yan was sewing clothes in the room. When she heard Chen Yan greeting the neighbors, she knew that Chen Yan had returned.
“This is for today.”
Chen Yan handed the money to Zhao Yan.
“How come you only sold one digital watch?”
Zhao Yan was a little confused. Usually it was ten yuan, sometimes fifteen, so why was it only five yuan today?
"That's what happened."
Chen Yan told Zhao Yan how he met Zhang Bo and had a fight with him, and how they got together again today and knew each other. He apologized for his behavior and invited him to dinner. He did not tell Zhao Yan that the other party had a weapon for fear of worrying Zhao Yan.
"When you are in a family, you should be friendly and make money. Don't fight with others. Just admit your mistakes and be submissive. Even if you have to pay him, just give him money. Money is something outside of your body. You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. If we lose it, we can earn it. How can I live if something happens to you?"
Zhao Yan was worried that something might happen to her man.
"Got it. I promise not to fight with others in the future."
Chen Yan patted Zhao Yan on the back. He earned money just to let Zhao Yan live a good life. He really didn't consider the consequences at that time. Now he doesn't regret it.
But I should not go to the gate of the Children's Palace anymore, so that the other party won't know where I went.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan decided that once he started his business, he would move to another place to do business and not stay in one place all the time.
"swallow."
An old woman walked in.
"Grandma Wang, why are you here? Come and sit down."
When Zhao Yan saw that the person coming was a neighbor, she immediately invited him to sit down.
"I have something to ask of you."
The old man looked at Zhao Yan and said with a choked voice.
As soon as Zhao Yan heard this, she knew what was going on. This old lady had a bad life. Her husband died when she was young, and she lost her son when she was old. Her daughter-in-law had remarried long ago, and she was raising her grandchildren alone.
"Grandma Wang, what are you talking about? If I can help you, I will definitely help you. It's just the skill of making clothes. You can ask the girl to come and learn. But this sewing machine is not cheap."
Zhao Yan guessed what the old lady wanted to say, so she was not worried about learning the craft.
Zhao Yan knew that the old woman was like this because she was worried that she might pass away one day, and her grandchildren were still young and had no skills to rely on. The old people all have a belief that craftsmen will never starve no matter what era it is.
"I can't thank you enough, old lady."
As the old lady was about to kowtow to Zhao Yan, Chen Yan hurriedly supported the old lady upon seeing this.
"Grandma Wang, if you do this, I will shorten my life. It's not okay. Otherwise, I won't dare to teach the girl any skills."
Zhao Yan said while holding the old man's hand.
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you. But I really don't know how to thank you. I don't have anything to give you as a present."
The old man said while wiping his tears.
"Grandma Wang, we are dealing with each other based on personal relationships. I know your family's situation. I don't need your gifts, but if you come to learn the craft, you have to listen to my arrangements. If you don't obey, I will really beat you."
Zhao Yan said seriously.
"That's for sure. I'll tell the girl to listen to you when I get home."
The old lady really didn't know how to thank Zhao Yan at this moment. Nowadays, people who have skills keep them secret and only teach their own children or relatives' children. It is not so easy for outsiders to learn.
After the old lady left, Zhao Yan sat behind the sewing machine and continued to make clothes.
"How come you can teach others your skills so easily? If you can't make it, you can go and help out at my sister's restaurant."
Chen Yan couldn't understand why Zhao Yan did this.
"You know, when I first went to learn the craft from my sister-in-law, on the first day she taught me how to cut, I asked her the same question. Do you know what she said?"
Zhao Yan looked at her man and smiled.
"What did my sister-in-law say?"
"She said that I'll teach you because you want to learn. There's no reason. You know, even though my last name is Zhao, I'm separated from Brother Yi and the others by who knows how many generations. We can't even be considered relatives."
Zhao Yan smiled.
Zhang Jing's words shocked Zhao Yan for a long time. I taught you just because you wanted to learn.
area.
Li Daju came to Zhao Yi's house again.
At this time, Zhang Jing was cooking to entertain her mother-in-law.
The two little ones surrounded Li Daju and asked her to tell stories, about the trivial things that happened during the difficult times.
As soon as Zhao Dajiang walked into the house, he saw Li Daju. Li Daju also saw Zhao Dajiang. They looked at each other and no one spoke.
"Grandpa, Grandpa."
The two little guys saw Zhao Dajiang and shouted.
"My uncle is here, come in and sit down.
Zhang Jing saw Zhao Dajiang and greeted him.
"No, I cooked some meat at home today and I want to invite you to come over and sit down."
Zhao Dajiang looked at Zhang Jing and invited her.
"Okay, I'll take them there when I'm done here."
Zhang Jing nodded and agreed. Knowing that her uncle did not get along with her in-laws, she did not try to keep him.
After Zhao Dajiang invited Zhang Jing, he left Zhao Yi's house.
Li Daju looked at Zhao Dajiang's departing back without saying anything.
"Grandma, why didn't Second Grandpa invite you?"
Zhao Peng looked at his grandmother and asked.
"A lot of talk."
Zhang Jing glared at Zhao Peng and said.
"Hey! It was your grandfather who did something evil. He drove your second grandfather out and wanted to occupy your great grandfather's house alone. Your second grandfather is angry."
Li Daju sighed and said that she didn't understand why the brothers in the Zhao family were always at odds with each other. Was it because of genetics? Her father-in-law also didn't get along with his brothers and moved from the county town to Wangou Village. Her husband also didn't get along with his brothers and drove Zhao Dajiang away.
Now Zhao Yi is not getting along with Zhao Gang and others.
Zhang Jing didn't know the reason, and she asked Zhao Yi about it. But Zhao Yi said he didn't know either. He only knew that his uncle left Wangou Village and rarely went back, except to visit the graves every Qingming Festival.
I just found out what happened from my mother-in-law. It was indeed not a nice thing for my father-in-law to do.
"Why did grandpa occupy grandpa's house? Grandpa is so pitiful."
Zhao Xuanxuan didn't quite understand.
"Silly girl."
Li Daju looked at Zhao Xuanxuan and gently touched the top of her head.
