Xu Ning and Xu An brought the taffy back home. Zhang Sheng was helping Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Qi to light the fire. When he saw them come in, he picked up the crutches beside him and stood up.
He looked to be about 1.75 meters tall, very thin, with an ordinary face but a pair of sharp eyes.
I heard from Lu Xiaotang that Zhang Sheng used to be an outstanding scout under his command. If he had not been injured, he would have had a bright future. Alas, it is such a pity for such a good guy.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Is it Brother Zhang Sheng? You must have had a hard time on the journey."
"Hello sister-in-law, I am Zhang Sheng, the journey is not hard at all."
"Come sit down, you are at home now, don't be polite, Xiaotang should be back today, you two brothers can have a good chat then, he always misses you at home."
Then he said to Niupitang, "Niu Niu, Pipi, Tangtang, hurry up and call Uncle Zhang."
The three children stood in front of Zhang Sheng and shouted loudly: "Hello, Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Sheng was startled by them, then he smiled and praised: "Well, Niupitang looks really good, so energetic, just like our battalion commander."
After saying that, he immediately changed his words and said, "No, I am the head of the group now."
Niu Niu and Pi Pi knew that his legs were inconvenient, so they pulled him to sit on a stool and asked politely, "Uncle Zhang, is your home far from here? How many days does it take to take the train?"
"It will take a whole day. Uncle will take you to our hometown to play later, okay?"
The two boys nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, when we grow up, we will go play with uncle. We brothers love playing the most."
Tangtang said: "My brother not only likes to play, but also likes to eat. Uncle Zhang, if you bring them to play at home, they will eat up all the food. My brothers may have eaten it all."
Pipi snorted and said, "You are just a greedy person, yet you are still criticizing us."
Seeing that his brother was so disobedient and quarreled with his sister, Niu Niu pushed him and said, "Pipi, don't quarrel with your sister. You are obviously a glutton, and you don't allow others to say anything!"
Seeing his brother pushing him, Pipi got angry and pulled his clothes, shouting, "You are the one who is greedy. Your whole family is greedy."
The two brothers started fighting again in front of several people.
Zhang Sheng was stunned. They were just being so friendly and respectful to each other, but how could they start fighting over a wrong word? How come the battalion commander's son doesn't look like the battalion commander at all?
Whenever their battalion commander fought with others, just a look from him would make these brothers tremble in fear.
Seeing the two of them embarrassing themselves in front of the guests, Xu Ning was so angry that he gritted his teeth, picked up the fire poker next to him and hit them on their buttocks.
Niu Niu was sitting on Pippi and asked him if he was convinced. His butt suddenly hurt, and he immediately climbed up from Pippi, holding his butt and jumping up and down.
When I turned around, I saw that it was my mother who hit me. I didn't dare to say anything. I picked up Pipi from the ground and ran to the backyard.
Xu Ning coughed lightly and said to Zhang Sheng, "Brother Zhang Sheng, don't mind it. These two guys are very naughty and they fight every day."
"Haha, it's okay, sister-in-law. Boys are all like this. When I was a kid, I often fought with the kids in the village."
Grandpa Qi served the braised meat and said to them, "I'm going to start selling it soon. Let's go to the main hall and talk."
Xu An and Xu Ning took Zhang Sheng to the main room. Xu Ma and Wang Nainai had already made the bed for him, which was next to Seventh Grandpa's.
Xu Ning asked Xu An to talk with Zhang Sheng here, and she went to the back to help with cooking.
Grandma Wang was steaming the dried fish that Xu Ning brought back from Guangdong Province. There was also a bag in the kitchen that Zhang Sheng brought, which contained specialties from their Shandong Province.
Niu Niu and Pippi were hiding in the house playing with grandpa and Xuanxuan. When they saw their mother go to the kitchen, the two brothers held hands and went to the front yard.
Seeing that my second uncle and Uncle Zhang Sheng were talking in the house, they ran over and asked, "Uncle Zhang, my mother said you are a great hero, can you tell us how you fought the bad guys?
Are you as good as our dad? Can you teach us a couple of tricks? We can also be very powerful when fighting with others in school. ”
Zhang Sheng was so shocked by their words that his mouth opened. Xu An asked with a smile: "Do your butts no longer hurt?"
Niu Niu and Pi Pi glared at him and said, "Second Uncle is so mean. Humph, we are not friends with you anymore."
Then he said to Zhang Sheng flatteringly: "Uncle Zhang, we two brothers will go out to play for a while, and then we will come to sleep with you at night."
After that, the two brothers held hands and went next door to find Erhu. Second Uncle was here, so it was inconvenient for them to talk. They planned to sleep with Uncle Zhang at night and ask him to teach them a few tricks then.
