Zhang Cai clapped his hands. Just like Li Jinfeng, he smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you are really naughty. You want us to carry such a heavy thing. Who can lift it?"
Looking at Zhang Cai's appearance, if Mr. Liu and Old Shopkeeper Li didn't know Zhang Cai very well, they might have thought that he was lying to them.
Guo Sufei asked doubtfully, "Xiaohua, how heavy is this small thing? No one can lift it at all."
Zhang Xiaohua walked in front and picked it up with one hand. She waved it lightly and said, "Mother, to be honest, I don't know how heavy it is. After all, I haven't seen such a heavy thing."
"Oh ~" Everyone suddenly understood. What she said was true. Who had nothing better to do? What's the use of weighing so many things?
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaolong's eyes lit up and said, "Xiaohua, it's great that you're back. You're so strong. In the future, we won't need cows to plow the fields anymore!"
"Bang!" Zhang Xiaohua fell to the ground.
After a while, she got up and said, "Big brother, you can't do this. You can't let me do anything.
Plow the fields for cows. You're wasting resources. "
"Then, go help people dig wells. Your strength is equivalent to ten people!"
Zhang Xiaolong was very economical.
After everyone chatted for a while, Guo Sufei and Li Yinfeng went to the small courtyard next door and told Liu Qian the names of the three babies. Liu Qian was very happy when she heard it. Needless to say, the names and courtesy names were carefully chosen by the elders. She had some experience with Zhang Xiaohua's miracle. Everyone knew that she was pregnant for ten months, but she was pregnant for five years before she gave birth. Zhang Xiaohua already knew about this situation five years ago. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua even gave her a small stone. When the stone turned into powder, her son was born. Could it be explained with the word 'coincidence'?
Today, Zhang Xiaohua actually gave her son a pet name. It was exactly what she wanted. The name "Bairen" was really extraordinary. How could Liu Qian not be happy?
She picked up her son who was sleeping soundly next to her. Zhang Jian, Zhang Youyou, and Zhang Bairen called him one by one. Hearing this, the child opened his eyes in a daze and babbled nonsense.
Li Jinfeng's family of three went to Guozhuang House to pay a New Year's greeting to the Zhang family because of the New Year. Liu Kai and his wife came together because Li Yinfeng went back to her parents' home. Anyway, they had to come.
As soon as the two groups of people arrived at Guozhuang House, they encountered Liu Qian giving birth, so they stayed to help. Now the child was born smoothly and the New Year's greeting was over. Li Jinfeng's family of three naturally had to go back to Lu Town. However, Zhang Cai was happy and said, "Brother, if you're not busy with the affairs in town, you can go back later. It won't be too late to leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Anyway, Guozhuang House has a place to stay."
Shopkeeper Li's business in Lu Town had been doing well in recent years. He thought that there would be nothing to do during the New Year. So, after a little hesitation, he agreed to Zhang Cai's suggestion.
In fact, if Zhang Xiaohua didn't come back, Shopkeeper Li might not have hesitated. She had just given birth and was very busy. Wouldn't it be troublesome if his family stayed here?
Although he didn't know exactly what kind of person Zhang Xiaohua was now, five years ago, she could go into the tiger's den and come out unscathed. Five years later, Zhang Xiaohua must be even more incredible. Mr. Liu and Zhang Cai didn't hang around in Lu Town, so they didn't have much impression of the outside world. Shopkeeper Li knew what kind of person Zhang Xiaohua would be if she was in Lu Town!
Moreover, according to Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei's meaning, his youngest son wouldn't be allowed to travel far in the future. Since he couldn't travel far, where could he go?
He couldn't really farm in the Guozhuang House, so Zhang Xiaohua's only choice was Lu Town.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Li's little abacus was very clear. As long as he had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaohua, his family should be able to do whatever they wanted in Lu Town in the future.
Therefore, Zhang Cai's politeness at this time was like handing a pillow to a thirsty person. Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a moment and immediately accepted it.
Liu Kai and Li Yinfeng didn't need to be mentioned. They directly lived in Mr. Liu's house. On one hand, they served their father, and on the other hand, they took care of their sister.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
In the past few days, Zhang Xiaohua didn't go anywhere. She just wandered around the Guozhuang House, paying New Year's greetings here and sending gifts there. It was true that this farmer's house was simple, but it wasn't necessarily pure. In the past, Guo Sufei was the only girl in the Guozhuang House, and she was bullied both openly and secretly. Zhang Cai married into the family and gave birth to three fat boys. In the eyes of the farmers, they were three strong men. Therefore, there were fewer bullies. However, just when the family's life was getting better, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu disappeared. At first, people thought that they had gone to other places to live and maybe they would be successful in the future. Well, when Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu came back for the first time, people in the Guozhuang House envied them for a while. Many people had never seen such a tall red horse before. However, the two left in a hurry and didn't come back for many years. Therefore, many rumors spread. Li Yinfeng's arrival indirectly made the idlers in the Guozhuang House a little apprehensive. But later, Li Yinfeng married Liu Kai. Although the Zhang Family kept their mouths shut, this fact couldn't be covered up. In addition, Guo Sufei fell ill twice.
How could the people in the Guozhuang House not know that something had happened to the Zhang Family?
In addition, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua had brought home three to four thousand taels of silver. Although they did not spend extravagantly, it was still needed to improve their lives. The original small courtyard was renovated, and a new courtyard was built next to it. The idle men in the village were jealous, and rumors began to spread. Some said that the money was exchanged with the lives of the two sons, some said that the two sons had committed robbery, and some said that the rumors were unpleasant to hear. Fortunately, the Zhang family had always had a good reputation in the village, and many people leaned towards the former.
The eyes of the people were really sharp. This rumor was really infinitely close to the truth!
The Zhang Family couldn't deny it.
In fact, there was nothing to explain.
In particular, due to Granny Li's adding fuel to the fire, there were already some rumors about Zhang Jian's birth.
Although Zhang Xiaohua was just eighteen years old, he had licked the blood of blades in the jianghu. He had a good understanding of the human heart. The evolution of the Way of Heaven had given him endless training, and he had already clearly seen the undercurrents behind the simple farmers. Therefore, during this period of time, he had spent a lot of time hanging out with the idlers in the Guozhuang House. From time to time, he would show off his jianghu experience, talk about the bloodshed of revenge, and when he was full of enthusiasm, he would pick up a stone or millstone with one hand to show off his strength. Even some young men who had learned a thing or two came forward to show off a few times, but Zhang Xiaohua didn't hesitate to send them flying with a kick. At most, there were about a dozen of them, and they all surrounded and attacked Zhang Xiaohua as if they were joking. Zhang Xiaohua didn't hold back at all. He didn't even use his hands, and with less than a minute of kung fu, he knocked them down one by one. This time, the crowd closed their mouths, and there was only fear and admiration in their eyes.
Zhang Xiaohua was very satisfied with this result. He clapped his hands and left.
Zhang Xiaohua went to Zhang Jian's place every day. He didn't tell anyone about Zhang Jian's extraordinariness, including Liu Qian. However, in these few days, he didn't see any special differences between him and other children. For example, he could talk and walk when he was born. Instead, he went to sleep every day after drinking milk. He didn't look like he was worrying at all. Yes, he didn't look like he was sleeping soundly while clutching the two ugly little stones.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua was slightly relieved. There was no one in the family who was particularly strong. If Zhang Jian stood out too much, it was inevitable that there would be trouble. Keeping a low profile was the way to go.
As for his little nephew's future, Zhang Xiaohua wasn't worried at all. What a joke. The omen was so strong. If he didn't have a bright future, it must be God who was blind.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Old Shopkeeper Li and his family decided to go back to Lu Town. In these few days, Old Shopkeeper Li tried to persuade Li Jinfeng to hang out more with Zhang Xiaohua. However, Li Jinfeng didn't care. Zhang Xiaohua was indeed powerful, but wasn't he his student who initiated him?
Old Shopkeeper Li opened his heart to him and became friends with him. There was really no need to flatter him deliberately. Li Jinfeng originally wanted to get information about Qiu Tong from Zhang Xiaohua. Now, Li Jinfeng would rather not ask than look for Zhang Xiaohua. This surprised Zhang Xiaohua for a while.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Town had festive lanterns. Guozhuang House also had this custom. However, it wasn't as lively as Lu Town. Old Shopkeeper Li naturally invited the Zhang family to Lu Town to take a look.
After giving birth, Liu Qian recovered very well. She could walk a few days ago. She didn't look as weak as Zhang Xiaohua imagined. However, she couldn't leave the courtyard until she was one month old. Guo Sufei and Zhang Xiaolong had to stay at home to take care of Xiao Jian. Only Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaohua were left in the Zhang family.
Zhang Cai didn't want to go. However, when he thought that Xiaohua had been hanging out with the young people in the village for the past few days, he thought that he couldn't bear the loneliness. Therefore, he wanted to bring him to Lu Town to take a look. Since he was willing to go, Zhang Xiaohua naturally accompanied him.
Mr. Liu's family was a leisurely trio. They could leave at any time.
Therefore, the group of people came to Lu Town.
The last time they came to Lu Town was five years ago. The Li family was in ruins, but it had been rebuilt. It was not inferior to before. Old Shopkeeper Li held a banquet at home to entertain the Zhang and Liu families. When Shopkeeper Yu of the jade shop heard the news, he prepared gifts early and brought his daughter and son-in-law to thank them.
Fortunately, the Li family was now well-off. The central room was very spacious, so it could accommodate so many people. The banquet was very enjoyable until night fell.
Before the sky turned dark, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard outside. Firecrackers and the like were also going off non-stop. Although Four Trees was not the most prosperous place in Lu Town, it was still a hubbub of voices and unusually lively.
