Chapter 159
"Chaoyang, will school start in March?"
Uncle Zhang's question brought Zhang Chaoyang back to his distracted state.
"Well, report in March."
Zhang Chaoyang speaks very little here, and when he has to say something, he is brief and to the point.
"You are all very capable and have a bright future."
Even though he tried his best to hide it, one could still hear the envy in Uncle Zhang's tone.
"The refresher course? Chaoyang, are you coming back for refresher courses?"
It seems that Zhang's father also knew about the advanced training class, but he didn't expect that his son would be selected.
"Brother, don't you know?"
The smug expression that Zhang's father had just revealed suddenly froze on his face.
"Grandpa, grandma, we are here to wish you a happy new year!"
The awkward atmosphere in the room was broken by Zhang Chaoru who pushed the door open.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma!
Happy New Year, Mom and Dad, Second Uncle and Aunt, Third Uncle and Aunt! ”
Zhang Chaoru greeted the New Year with a smile on her face. Because of her pregnancy, she looked much rounder than before.
"Chao Ru, Ming Wei, come and sit down. You gave birth a few months ago, right? How is the baby? Is he making a fuss?"
Aunt Zhang and Zhang Chaoru are quite familiar with each other, as they were both in the art troupe before.
After Zhang Chaoru became pregnant, she changed her career.
"It's OK. At first, he was quite reactive, but now he's much better. He's just more lively and active.
Xuanhe, come here, your aunt will give you New Year’s money. ”
Zhang Chaoru waved to Xuan He, who was in her mother's arms, and asked him to come over.
Xuan He recognized his aunt, so he got down from his grandmother’s arms and walked over.
"Here, this is the New Year's money my aunt gave me. Keep it for buying candy. As for Chaolu, I also prepared some New Year's money for her."
Xuan He took the red envelope and waited for a while, but his aunt did not mention his sister.
"Thank you, auntie. How about my sister's?"
"What sister?"
Zhang Chaoru was a little confused. Where was her younger sister?
"Sister Nuan Nuan, where is the New Year's money for Sister Nuan Nuan from my second uncle's family?"
Xuan He didn't mean it, it's just that everyone had prepared two red envelopes, one for him and one for Nuan Nuan.
"elder brother……"
Nuannuan was playing with Chaolu in the back just now. She ran over when she heard her brother calling her name.
Zhang Chaoru was stunned for a moment when she looked at the little girl in red.
She didn't think about Nuannuan at all. She only prepared New Year's money for Chaolu and Xuanhe.
"Chao Ru, your memory has been bad since you got pregnant. You even forgot about your second brother's child."
Xiao Mingwei looked at the people in the room, feeling a little embarrassed, and hurried to make amends.
Nuannuan looked around. She didn’t know the person, and she didn’t have the red envelope in her brother’s hand.
"Nuan Nuan, right? This is the New Year's money given by your uncle. Save it to buy candy."
Xiao Mingwei just reached into his pocket, took out a big unity banknote and handed it to Nuannuan.
Nuannuan doesn’t recognize money. It’s different from the one in her brother’s hand. It’s not a red envelope.
"don't want."
Nuannuan didn’t know this person, nor did she know money, so she turned her head and refused bluntly.
These days, everyone gave red envelopes, but Nuannuan only knew red envelopes and knew they were good things.
Xiao Mingwei didn't know what to do. He didn't know whether to take the money back or give it to the child.
"Second brother, this is really your daughter. She has the same temper as you."
Zhang Chaoru didn't expect that the child didn't want money. She felt uncomfortable and spoke with some sarcasm.
"Of course my daughter is like me. She understands everything, right, Nuannuan?"
"yes."
Nuannuan answered straightforwardly. She actually didn't understand anything and just answered subconsciously.
"Dad, it's too, too..."
Nuannuan has had enough of staying here and wants to go home to see her great-grandma.
"Uncle, my sister wants to go home."
Xuan He also wanted to go back and didn't want to stay here anymore.
"Grandpa, I'll go back first. I have to go visit grandma's old friend later."
"Okay, go ahead. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you have to be careful after school starts, so as not to get any more sick."
The old man knew that Chaoyang was not familiar with the family members and had nothing to say.
"Yes, I know."
Zhang Chaoyang took out a blanket to wrap himself up to keep warm, to avoid catching a cold.
"Nuan Nuan, little auntie can't bear to part with you, why are you so cute.
Brother Chaoyang, these are the dolls and other small toys that I used to play with. You can take them back to Nuannuan. They are all clean. ”
"Nuan Nuan, thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, aunt."
Nuannuan was held in her father's arms. She thanked him and bent down to kiss her aunt.
"Nuan Nuan, let your aunt kiss you too."
Zhang Chaolu loves this niece so much, she is so cute.
Nuannuan lowered her head and moved her face closer to let her aunt kiss her.
The aunt and niece were reluctant to part. This fate was truly unique.
"Uncle, uncle, put on your clothes and go."
Xuan He became anxious when he saw that his second uncle was about to leave.
"Grandpa, Grandma Fang, Mom and Dad, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, Third Uncle and Third Aunt, I'll take Xuan He back first."
"Go back, you still have to go to the Feng family. You don't have to stay here, just do what you need to do."
The old man waved his hand. It was New Year's Day and there were many people visiting.
"Mom and Dad, we'll be back for dinner tonight."
Uncle Zhang also has some leaders and colleagues who need to move around.
"Mom and Dad, we have nothing to do. We'll go back after dinner."
Uncle Zhang is not in a hurry. He has already moved around before the New Year.
"Dad, Aunt Fang, let's go see my mom. We won't be here for dinner tonight."
Although Zhang's father knew that my mother didn't like him, he still went there shamelessly.
Zhang Chaoyang hugged Nuannuan tightly and was about to leave.
"Grandma Fang, I'm going back first. Second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, I'm leaving first."
Although Zhang Chaoyang is not familiar with them, he should not forget the proper manners. His grandmother taught him to be polite since he was a child.
"Nuan Nuan, your aunt will miss you. Come back next time and I will buy you flowers to wear."
"I want to, come."
My hands are wrapped and I can’t wave.
The group left the retirement home, and Uncle Zhang and the others left first.
"Mom and Dad, please take good care of Xuan He. There are so many people and he might get lost in the crowd."
"Got it. We're not fools."
Mother Zhang glared at her younger son and asked Father Zhang to hold Xuan He.
Zhang Chaoru and her husband, who were the last to leave, looked unhappy and quarreled all the way back home.
"It's New Year's Day, why are you arguing?"
Xiao's mother looked at her son and daughter-in-law who came in. It was unlucky for them to have a quarrel on New Year's Day.
"Mom, please judge for yourself. I really didn't expect my second brother's child to come over. I forgot to prepare her share of the red envelope. Mingwei has been blaming me all the way."
Zhang Chaoru held her waist and sat on the sofa, also angry.
"Your second brother's children will all be gone. Even if she doesn't come, do you still have to prepare a red envelope?"
Xiao Mingwei felt very embarrassed today, and his family didn't need that red envelope.
"Zhang Chaoyang has also gone there?"
After listening to a few words, Mr. Xiao roughly understood what was going on.
"Well, when we arrived, Chaoru's second brother was already there. The child was playing in the back, so we didn't see him. We only saw the child from her eldest brother's family."
"Do you know about this training class? Zhang Chaoyang is also on the list. He is the 26-year-old deputy commander and will be promoted soon. His military medals for his achievements before the New Year will be issued soon."
Father Xiao didn't say anything else, but his meaning was clear enough.
Xiao Mingwei didn't expect that his second uncle was so powerful.
"The refresher course?"
Zhang Chaoru was also confused. That was a ladder to promotion. Her son Xiao Mingwei wanted to get in, but he didn't have enough qualifications.
"are you sure?"
Xiao's mother was also quite surprised, as they didn't know much about this second son of her in-laws.
I heard that he grew up with his grandmother, and when he served in the army he was not under the protection of his grandfather, and he seldom returned to the compound.
"Zhang family, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Chaoyang will be the one with the best development."
There are some things he cannot say and need to keep secret. I hope the eldest couple knows how to get along in the future.
