Chapter 454 Eighty Years Ago
"You two are the pillars of the He family. If you have anything to discuss, please discuss it properly and stop arguing all the time."
Grabbing one in each hand, Grandpa He taught them painstakingly: "He Yang, Grandpa taught you that even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you must remain calm and have a plan in mind before doing things. Don't let jealousy cloud your mind and keep your heart. Look at you, it's only been a few years now, and you've already let your pride show on your face. You're even disrespectful to your brother and want to make fun of him. You've really wasted Grandpa's teachings on you."
He Yang was immediately ashamed and lowered his head and said, "I was wrong, Grandpa."
Grandpa He patted his hands and said to He Xu, "Grandpa was wrong about this. When Grandpa found out, your stepmother and her family had already bought their own tickets and followed.
We were almost at the station, and I had scolded them a lot, but I couldn't just let them wander the streets during the New Year, and it would be embarrassing for others to see them.
Don't worry, I won't let them enter the ancestral hall. As long as Grandpa lives, he will never let anyone pass you. Even if they come, Grandpa will only provide them with a place to stay for the sake of being children. They are not eligible to participate in other activities."
He Xu's expression eased a little, but he still didn't say anything.
He Qi and Zhang on the other side turned pale when they heard this.
He Qi was even a little bit unbelievable.
He always felt that the old man didn't recognize him only because of policy regulations and was afraid that if he recognized him, his father would be accused of having an affair.
But now it's the 1980s, the policy has long since changed, and many people have kept mistresses and nothing has happened.
He thought the old man would be able to accept him, but who knew that the old man never wanted to recognize him from the beginning to the end!
Mrs. He, who brought them in, listened to the whole process with her ears pricked up and did not dare to leave the kitchen. Fortunately, she knew she would be scolded as soon as she arrived, so she occupied the kitchen first.
She just couldn't believe that this family would dare to offend the cook during the Spring Festival!
Chen Tang glanced at He Xu's expression. After many years in the army, he had already mastered his emotions, so it was impossible to tell what his expression was at this moment.
"Grandpa will arrange it."
He Xu didn't say much. To him, Zhang and He Qi were no longer people he cared about. He had never forgotten the hatred they had in the past. He Zheng had been in prison for all these years, and their difficult lives were all caused by him.
Zhang went from being a girl from a poor family to living a life of luxury after becoming He Zheng's wife. Then she became sworn in debt after He Zheng was imprisoned. Life forced her to become a resentful woman. Her family abandoned her, and her son complained about her all the time. If she hadn't had the determination to refuse to admit defeat and hadn't changed her son's temper bit by bit, her life would have been even more difficult.
He Xu has already taken revenge, and he no longer cares about what happens to He Qi's family.
For him, instead of being troubled by what happened in the past, it is better to devote his life and time to his wife and children.
The only thing that bothered him was whether his grandfather, whom he was wholeheartedly filial to, would stab him in the back!
Fortunately, grandpa did not let him down.
Old Master He glanced at He Xu and saw that he didn't care much about He Qi, so he nodded with satisfaction.
This matter was really not arranged by him.
The main reason is that the two people in the first wife's house didn't have enough eyes to see their daughter-in-law and brought people here secretly.
When he saw the people at the station, Mr. He was so angry that he pointed at his second son's nose and cursed at him.
This matter really made him a nobody!
He did want to protect He Qi for a while. He Zheng would be released in a few years. He had already received all the punishment he deserved. He was so old, he had to leave someone to take care of him in his old age.
When his wife passed away, she left a will asking him to take good care of the children. He Xu would definitely not provide for that unfilial son in his old age. He Zheng was the only one left, and he wanted to make sure his son had a peaceful old age.
But after knowing that He Xu was restrained in his actions, he stopped caring.
The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and seeing that He Xu looked normal, he finally relaxed a little.
It's fine as long as the grudge is resolved. He doesn't care whether the relationship is good or not. He would only be worried if the two brothers had a good relationship.
The atmosphere relaxed, and when the old man smiled, the children happily followed their parents to stroll around the village.
Chen Tang was roasted by the heat from the stove and peeled a sweet tangerine to eat.
He Qi's wife didn't know what was going on. Seeing that everyone ignored her, she came up to Chen Tang and said, "Um...sister-in-law, your son is already this big. What grade is he in?"
Chen Tang glanced at her in confusion. Is this person really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Can't she see her husband's attitude towards them just now?
Fu Qing smiled foolishly: "So boring, how about we play cards?"
Ning Suyue, who was listening closely, rolled her eyes. "Who do you think we are? You dare to bring gambling to our ancestral home. If others knew about this, I don't know what they would say about us."
"We are a small family, but we have no vision."
No matter how thick-skinned Fu Qing was, his eyes turned red when he was scolded by her.
He Qi clenched his fists tightly. He liked people with simple personalities like Fu Qing the most. It was ok to mock him, but he couldn't stand mocking his wife. Just when he wanted to stand up for his wife, he was stopped by his mother.
Zhang Xiaomei lowered her voice and pinched him hard: "Watch out for your wife. This is not our home. It's ok for her to be tactless on weekdays, but if she causes trouble again, you must divorce her immediately."
He Qi listens to his mother very much, mainly because he is the only smart person in their family and there is no way he can disobey her.
Fu Qing had to calm down. She bit her lip and thought to herself that she was so stupid that she could even deceive her mother-in-law and make her suffer some losses. Why wouldn't it work here?
Maybe I don't have time to use it?
Fu Qing secretly hated her mother-in-law for meddling in her affairs.
After the quarrel in the living room, people from the kitchen also came out.
Aunt He wiped her hands and looked around at everyone: "Third sister-in-law, I'll trouble you with the next dish."
Zhang Xiaomei immediately stood up and smiled flatteringly: "Okay, then let me handle the next dish."
Chen Tang saw this and suddenly said, "Aunt, we have agreed on the division of labor. If you do this, I won't cook when it's my turn to cook the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. He cursed in her heart, but walked towards the kitchen with mature legs.
Zhang also followed into the kitchen.
Chen Tang looked at it and whispered a few words in He Xu's ear: "Drive to buy some vegetables and heat them up when you come back."
It’s still early, only four o’clock in the afternoon, maybe there are still some restaurants in town that are still open.
If he had known that the Zhang family would be here and help with the cooking, Shen Tang would have brought some cooked food.
He Xu would not eat the food cooked by Zhang.
He Xu nodded, and just as he stood up, he heard He Yang say, "Want to go out? I'll go with you. I bought some fireworks and asked someone to deliver them to the village entrance. I'll just go over to pick them up."
As the two left, the atmosphere became more harmonious. Mrs. He asked He Zhi about his grades while cracking melon seeds.
He Zhi’s grades are pretty good. He scored over 90 points in Chinese and math this year. He is very proud of it because this is the result of his hard work!
But he had no idea of the old lady's sinister intentions.
As soon as he proudly said his grades, he was mocked by the other party with a smug look on his face: "Aiya, you are just like your father, you have no talent for studying, He Yun got 100 in two subjects!"
He Zhi was secretly angry, this annoying old lady!
Shen Tang laughed, lowered his head and said a few words in his ear.
He Zhi's eyes lit up: "Grandma, although my grades are not as good as Brother Yun's, he can't beat me. During my summer vacation this year, I learned how to shoot a gun. Can Brother Yun do it?"
Mrs. He paused, "Our child is a scholar. He will go to college in the future. If he doesn't join the army, what's the point of knowing how to shoot a gun?"
He Zhi suddenly realized: "Brother Yun, are you going to take my mother as your role model? That's great. I will take my father as my role model in the future. He will take the liberal arts exam and I will practice martial arts. We will both be great heroes of the He family in the future!"
Mrs. He's face looked better. Chen Tang was the top scholar that year, and her grandson took her as an example, which just hit the nail on the head of her mind.
"Chen Tang, I'm free right now, why don't you teach my grandson math? He really likes math class."
He Yun looked at Chen Tang with bright eyes. He was quiet and reserved, but his eyes were pure and innocent.
When Mr. He heard that the child liked math, he was moved: "Does this child always get full marks in math?"
Mrs. He: “Yes.”
Grandpa He stroked his beard and said, "After the New Year, I'll take you somewhere."
Chen Tang: "Is it the Children's Palace?"
Mr. He was not surprised that she knew about the Children's Palace trained by the state, and nodded with a smile: "If this child has a talent for mathematics, maybe our family will have a talented researcher in the future."
Mrs. He looked at her grandson with even more fondness.
She didn't dare hand her grandson over to Chen Tang at this moment. She remembered that Chen Tang was a liberal arts student. What if this liberal arts student taught her grandson bad things?
This is their eldest son’s treasure!
After a while, He Xu came back.
What no one expected was that He Xu also brought two people.
