Zhang Weiyu sighed, "Let's find some time to take pictures tomorrow, so my sister can't see them. Even if she knew now, she probably wouldn't be satisfied."
The other three brothers nodded in agreement.
They all went back to their respective places and continued their cultivation as usual.
The next morning, after breakfast, Gu Chuanming hurriedly urged them to leave, "You guys go pick up your wives quickly. The doctors will be here by eight o'clock. If you go now, you should at least greet their families, right?"
The gifts are ready for you, so hurry up and don't delay anything.
The four women were truly exasperated. This old lady was far too enthusiastic; they had already agreed yesterday that they would all take the day off today. What was the rush? They had a whole day to spare! But no one dared to dampen her spirits.
So the four of them, each in their own car, went to pick up their girlfriends.
Zhang Hongmei sat to the side smiling, seeing that the old man was in good spirits, and that was enough.
Zhang Zhenye drove to the gate of the compound, and the guards saluted and let him pass. The car drove directly to the Zhang family's door.
The guard immediately opened the door. Yang Lijun was reading a book when she heard the commotion outside, so she put the book down and came out.
Zhang Zhenye was carrying a lot of gifts, which made him seem more down-to-earth and less like someone aloof and superior.
Yang Yongjian also came out with a smile. "Zhenye, why did you bring so many gifts? Do we really need to do this?"
"Grandpa Yang, this is a matter of etiquette and law that cannot be disregarded."
The guard and the nanny accepted the gifts, and the three of them went into the living room together.
“Grandpa Yang, I’ve come to pick up Lijun. All eight of us need to have a physical examination today. My great-grandfather was worried and asked us to have the examination done beforehand.”
"Alright, you two can go now. Xiao Liang, you carry the gift I gave to the old chief into the car."
Yang Lijun and Zhang Zhenye nodded and went upstairs to change their clothes.
Only Yang Yongjian and Zhang Zhenye remained in the living room.
“Zhenye, my Lijun is an honest girl, so I’m relieved that you two are together.”
"Grandpa Yang, I can only assure you that I will not let Lijun down."
"Haha, that's good, I believe you."
Zhenye, what are your plans after you come back next September?
“I think I’ll be going to work in the secretariat for a while. My family wants me to get familiar with all the procedures.”
"Hmm, I thought you were going to join the army."
Zhang Zhenye shook his head. "The four of us brothers will definitely go to the Secretariat first. After that, my second and fourth brothers should go to the army, right?"
"Oh, aren't you and Weiyu going to the army?"
“I will probably go, but Weiyu probably won’t. He’s coming back and wants to take over my mother’s job. The three of us will take turns helping him.”
"Well, you'll all have internships in various fields for a period of time. We don't expect you to be experts in everything, but at least you should be able to understand what's going on so that no one can deceive you in the future."
At this moment, Yang Lijun came downstairs. Zhang Zhenye checked the time; it was 7:30, not too late. He gestured for Yang Lijun to sit down and spend some more time with the elderly woman.
Yang Yongjian was pleased. "You two hurry up and go. Come over for dinner tonight?" He was referring to Zhang Zhenye.
“Okay, Grandpa Yang, we’ll be back for dinner tonight.”
Yang Yongjian smiled broadly as he saw his granddaughter and grandson-in-law off. He hoped that Zhenye would never change, and would always remain the same.
When Zhang Ruifeng arrived at the Tang family's door, the nanny came to open it, but he sensed that the atmosphere was not good.
Tang Feiyan came out and offered to help him carry the gifts, but he refused, saying, "I don't need you, I can manage by myself."
Tang Feiyan felt a warm glow in her heart. Her great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and second uncle were all chauvinists. Although they treated the women in their families well, they couldn't do things like this. Actually, women don't ask for much; they just want men to pamper them.
If this were a family situation, the men in the family would definitely share their gifts with the women.
Zhang Ruifeng entered the living room, where everyone was present. He also met Tang Feiyan's grandmother and her second uncle's family.
He greeted her politely and then took Tang Feiyan's hand and sat her down on the sofa.
Actually, Zhang Ruifeng wasn't a reckless person, but he sensed the girl's longing for him, which made him uncomfortable. Why did a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl look at him like he was a piece of meat? It made him feel uneasy. That's why he took Tang Feiyan's hand.
"Grandpa Tang, I've come today to pick up Fei Yan and take her to my house. My family has already arranged for both Chinese and Western medicine doctors. All eight of us will be examined today."
Tang Jianzhong nodded. "Okay, go ahead. Ruifeng, are you having dinner at home tonight?"
"Thank you, Mr. Tang. Fei Yan and I will be back before dinner."
“Okay, go ahead. I’ve prepared some local specialties for the old commander. Take them back for him.”
"Okay, I understand. Fei Yan, are you ready?"
Tang Feiyan was in a bad mood, but with her boyfriend being so considerate, she nodded and said, "I'll go back to my room to get my bag."
Zhang Ruifeng nodded. "I'll wait for you."
After Tang Feiyan left, the girl didn't restrain herself at all. She stood up, walked up to Zhang Ruifeng, and extended her hand, saying, "I'm Tang Feifei, nice to meet you."
Zhang Ruifeng didn't even glance at me.
Tang Jianzhong looked at his daughter with her outstretched hand and turned pale with anger.
"Hello, I'm Tang Feifei, and I'm happy to meet you." Tang Feifei persisted.
Zhang Ruifeng looked up and saw that only Fei Yan's second uncle's family and her grandmother had expectations on their faces, while the rest of the people had livid faces.
"Get out! Don't offend my eyes." Zhang Ruifeng has always been like this since he was a child, and he never gives outsiders any face.
Even the breathing in the living room slowed down.
Zhang Ruifeng stood up and looked at Tang Feifei with disdain. "I've seen plenty of girls like you. Don't ever appear in front of me again. I find you disgusting."
"Mr. Tang, is this not your daughter? How can she be so ill-mannered?"
Tang Jianzhong's face turned bright red; he had lost face completely in front of a junior. "Get out! Aren't you ashamed?"
Tang Feifei was dumbfounded. Although she was not as beautiful as Tang Feiyan, she had known since she was a child that men liked gentle women. She could not be as carefree as Tang Feiyan; she had to be gentle and considerate.
But what's going on today? How can someone say such things about me when I'm a girl? Tang Feifei ran away crying.
I happened to bump into Tang Feiyan, and she even glared at me.
Tang Feiyan roughly understood what had happened, and she felt incredibly satisfied. "Serves you right for being so shameless and pretentious."
Zhang Ruifeng walked over and stood next to Tang Feiyan, staring at the Tang family members. "I want to marry Tang Feiyan, but I will absolutely not have any patience for the people in the Tang family whom I look down on."
