After supper.

Zhang Chu sat in the hall, teasing Xiao Jintian and Xiao Taiping who were leaning on his knees from left to right.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jintian was already five years old.

All day long, I either chase chickens in the east or chase dogs in the west. I am not afraid of anything and want to touch anything.

There are neighbors who kill pigs, and other children hide far away, but this little turtle keeps moving forward.

Especially his big eyes that were always wandering around, as if they were experiencing bad water all the time, they looked like his father.

But Xiao Taiping doesn't know who he has followed.

Although they are still young and are not three years old, the other two or three-year-old children on this street have been holding every home with the older children.

Xiao Taiping knew to stick to his mother all day long, and he didn't even want to go out of the door without his mother. He cried so hard when he saw his mother killing a fish.

Not like a boy at all.

But Zhang Chu clearly remembers that he was a stubborn person who would rather be beaten than admit his mistake when he was young.

Zhiqiu didn't say anything anymore. When she was a child, she was poor and had to protect her sister. The words "solidity" were engraved into her bones.

Zhang Chu sometimes thinks.

Xiao Taiping, could it be that dead ghost Zhang Chu?

Zhiqiu brought in a cup of tea. When he saw the three men, he chuckled and said, "My man, there is a temple fair in the downtown area today. I heard that there is a opera troupe. Why don't we go and have a stroll?"

"temple fair?"

Zhang Chu seemed to be intentional, but then shook his head and said, "If you want to go, go, I won't go. I'm going, and everyone has no need to visit."

In Taiping Pass, there are too few people who do not recognize him.

There will be only two situations when he is going to a temple fair.

Or, everyone is far apart and will not disturb their family.

Or, everyone rushed to say hello to him.

No matter which one, it will seriously affect the fun of visiting temple fairs.

Zhang Chu doesn’t remember how long it took for him to have been to such occasions.

Zhiqiu looked at Zhang Chu and smiled softly, "Then I won't go, I don't have much meaning at all... Jintian, Taiping, go out to play, let your dad rest for a while."

"Why."

Li Jintian responded quickly, took Xiao Taiping, who was reluctant to leave, and trotted out.

Zhang Chu picked up the tea bowl beside him, watched the two boys go out with a smile, and asked, "Why didn't the mule come?"

Zhiqiu sat down with him, stroked the hair in his ears, and whispered: "I've been here, I've been sent by me. You just got home and you have to rest. You can't talk about anything tomorrow."

Zhang Chu said "hmm" and asked casually: "How is the relationship between the couple? Isn't it okay?"

Zhiqiu hesitated for a while and shook his head and said, "It's not a good thing. His mother came to look for me yesterday, saying that the mule has not been home for several days... I heard that the mule has kept a small one outside."

Zhang Chu said in confusion: "What is he doing? If you really like it, just marry him. Luo Dashan won't be able to afford to support him with just one more meal, right?"

"I heard that it's a mule who doesn't want to marry him..."

Zhiqiu responded: "But I have never asked about this matter. It's all about the mule's family affairs. I've asked too much, which is not good."

Zhang Chu thought about it and thought it was the reason, so he nodded and said, "That's right... Forget it, he is such a big man, and he should have a clear idea of ​​what he has done."

After a pause, he asked again: "Have you been to the Big Bear's family recently?"

Zhiqiu nodded: "I just visited before. The old couple is pretty good and can grow vegetables. Boss Xiong is also a decent person. He is very satisfied with the work at hand. I met him several times,

Thank you with kind words."

"Only his sister-in-law is unsatisfied. Every time I go, I will cry with you indirectly."

"Once, when I went there, their house was having dinner. When I heard that I was coming, I removed all the big fish and meat, leaving behind a few plates of pickled vegetables and steamed buns. I looked at something wrong and secretly went to the kitchen to take a look.

,Ha, I eat better than our family. I guess the little money that Boss Xiong earned was all made by her."

It's all a trivial matter.

But Zhiqiu spoke very seriously.

Zhang Chu also heard it very seriously: "How did she treat her parents-in-law? Didn't he treat the elderly seriously?"

Zhiqiu shook his head: "No, this one is not there. I look at the old couple, and Dr. Xu also said that the old couple is not sick or ill, and maybe they can see their great-grandson."

Zhang Chu tapped the armrest of the seat and thought for a while, and said aloud: "Come."

A soldier came in and bowed to the end with his fists: "Master Chu."

Zhang Chu: "Go to the Qingye Department and inform Minister Zhang, find an excuse to change the seat for Xiong Hun, and double the monthly fee."

"Here."

The soldier bowed again and turned around and left in a hurry.

Zhiqiu looked at Zhang Chu and asked carefully: "Master, this is not a decent person, right?"

Zhang Chu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to have some money on your side... Well, you can get a servant from the mansion and send him over there. For example, the money will still be sent from the mansion to serve the two old men on my behalf."

Zhiqiu stopped persuading and nodded, "I'll go there again tomorrow."

After a pause, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, the fifth master was infected with the cold a few days ago and was bedridden for a few days. I went to see him yesterday, and it seemed that my body was broken."

Zhang Chu frowned slightly: "It's really a cold wind? It's not that right? Have Dr. Xu been there?"

Zhiqiu: "I've been there, it's really just a cold wind. But I have taken several doses of medicine, but I just haven't gotten better."

Zhang Chu might have put down the tea bowl and stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Zhiqiu quickly stood up: "Master, it's dark, otherwise, it's better to go tomorrow morning?"

Zhang Chu smiled: "It's all people who have eaten the knife-headed rice, so they don't pay attention to this."

Before he finished speaking, he strode to the outsider of the hall: "You go to bed early, don't wait for me. I'll stop by to the main hall later and arrange something."

Zhiqiu stopped stopping him and nodded gently and said, "Then I'll let Taozi prepare a midnight snack for you."

...

"Squeak."

The vermilion door opened a gap, and one of them was blinded. The middle-aged man with a little white hair on his temples stretched out his head. When he saw Zhang Chu standing among the servants carrying lanterns, he quickly opened the door:

"Master Chu."

Zhang Chu nodded and crossed the threshold in one step: "Has the Fifth Master slept?"

The blind middle-aged man followed him with his body arched: "Not yet."

Zhang Chu strode forward: "Isn't it just a wind and cold? How could it be so serious?"

Middle-aged man: "The fifth brother had too much qi and blood deficit in his early years, and he got older, that's it."

"Lao Dao, who is here?"

A voice came from the yard.

The blind middle-aged man following Zhang Chu quickly responded: "It's Mr. Chu who is here, hurry up and hold the lights."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sparse sound immediately sounded in the yard.

Soon, the dim yard was illuminated by lights.

Zhang Chu glanced at him.

I saw one of the middle-aged men who were missing arms and legs, and most of all, were missing several fingers. They stood in the yard and greeted him with a nervous expression: "Master Chu."

Zhang Chu looked at these people, but he didn't know any of them.

I guess they are all old people from the Qinglong Gang in the past.

Zhang Chu nodded, said softly, "Well, Master Fifth" and asked, "Where is the house?"
