Qingshui Town.

When they arrived in Qingshui Town, Xiaojie and Zhang Ban invited everyone to visit the Zhang family, because the Zhang family is in Qingshui Town.

Lao Suntou said: "There are special circumstances today and there are a lot of people, so we won't go there for the time being. We will go to Tianxiang Tower as arranged."

Xiaojie's father also said: "Yes, I will wait until the first month to celebrate the New Year before going to your house."

Zhang Ban is a person who is not good at words. If it were not for being classmates with Dajie, he would not have known such an enthusiastic and lively girl like Xiaojie.

Hearing that his father-in-law and his wife's grandfather said this, he didn't force it. Instead, Xiaojie joked beside him: "We are going to separate suddenly, and I am still a little reluctant to leave. How can we deal with this?"

Lao Suntou said with a smile: "You silly girl, if Xiao An and Lian'er get married someday, you won't have to come over for a wedding banquet again. Why are you reluctant to leave?"

Mrs. Sun came over with her granddaughter in her arms. After hearing Xiaojie's words, Mrs. Sun joked, "If you really want to be reluctant to leave, it's easy. Just stay in the restaurant tonight and go back tomorrow."

Xiaojie was really moved when she heard this. She went to see Zhang Ban and asked Zhang Ban's opinion with her eyes.

Zhang Ban said: "If you really want to stay, then there is no harm in staying one more night."

"What about you?" Xiaojie asked.

Zhang Ban smiled a little embarrassedly, "I, I can't stop. I have to continue writing some articles when I get back."

Zhang Ban, like Dajie, did not continue his studies after passing the examination.

Dajie left his connections with the Luo family and went to the Yamen of Huguang County to find a job as the county magistrate, and he was able to earn a living from the Yamen.

Zhang Ban did not.

In his own words, his character is not suitable for officialdom and he prefers a purer environment.

The academy in Qingshui Town was the most suitable for him. It was established by several squires and led by the town's security chief. It was quite old and Da'an also studied there.

Zhang Ban has the reputation of being a scholar. In the academy, compared to the teachers who are old scholars, Zhang Ban is the star and the leader, and he is still young.

The environment in the academy was very simple, and Zhang Ban had a lot of talent. Scholars in this era had a high social status and respected their teachers, so Zhang Ban had a comfortable life teaching in the academy and his income was considerable.

As a candidate, he is registered with the academic and political officials of the province. The county government also rewards candidates during festivals. People in nearby towns can also enjoy tax exemption if their fields are in the name of the Zhang family. In addition, Zhang Ban’s father-in-law also

It has a close relationship with the Luo family and the Yang family, so in the past few years, this family has also changed its original small house to a two-story house in the northernmost area of ​​the town with a good environment.

Zhang Ban's parents don't open a shop. They usually drink tea at home, plant a vegetable garden, and help the young couple raise their granddaughter. Zhang Ban and Xiaojie are also preparing to have a second child to add to the family.

It can also add something substantial to Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother’s life in their later years.

But even so, Zhang Ban did not immerse himself in this superiority. On the contrary, he continued to read and ponder, while teaching and educating people diligently, at the same time, he was aware of the vast fantasy world in the sea and the endless emotions.

, turned into words, written in the form of novels and storybooks.

While entertaining yourself, you can also sell it for money. While bringing fun to others, you can continue to feed your family and create income.

So in Xiaojie's heart, the current Zhang Ban is the best Zhang Ban.

Although he almost went astray and his marriage almost broke up, everything has passed, right?

"Okay, then you go back first. I'll stay in a restaurant with my daughter for one night. She probably hasn't had enough fun yet," Xiaojie said.

He opened his spotted head and glanced at his daughter again, his voice was flat without any warmth but his eyes were very gentle, "Dad, go back first, you have to listen to your mother."

The little girl was preoccupied with going to play with her friends, so why did she have the thought to respond to Zhang Ban? She struggled to the ground and followed the laughter of the other children to find them.

Zhang Ban said goodbye to Lao Suntou and the others again, and then Xiaojie took his arm and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the door of the restaurant."

Looking at the backs of the young couple walking away, Mrs. Sun said: "Xiaojie is still a playful person. Life is so easy for the Zhang family now. The conditions are no worse than in a restaurant."

They came to the restaurant to stay overnight in order to cooperate with the village's plan to catch thieves. On this twelfth lunar month day, dripping water turns to ice. No matter how good the conditions of the restaurant are, can they compare with home?

Xiaojie's father smiled and said, "You can't blame her. We are all here. She must want to hang out with us for a while."

Da Sun didn't speak anymore, but her heart was already very soft.

Yang Ruoqing arranged everyone into the guest room. By this time, it was completely dark.

The steward came over to ask for instructions and said that dinner was ready.

Yang Ruoqing dismissed the person in charge and went to each room to call everyone out for dinner.

Dinner is served in a large dining room on the third floor. This large dining room covers an area of ​​nearly a hundred square meters. It is usually a private room used by restaurants to hold large banquets.

To entertain everyone tonight, a super large circular revolving table would be great.

Not only that, there is a spacious open space next to it for children to play.

"Everyone, let's just make do here tonight and have enough to eat and drink."

As the arranger and the owner of the restaurant, Yang Ruoqing greeted everyone loudly.

Everyone is their own relatives, and there are no rare guests who need special attention. They are parents, brothers and sisters, and they are relatively casual with each other.

Sure enough, Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Qing'er, please stop saying polite words. What kind of relationship do we have? There is no need to say hello."

Old Suntou looked around with a smile on his face, "Qing'er, if it wasn't a coincidence this time, I would never be able to come to such a good place to eat in my lifetime. This is enjoyment, why do you just make do?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "As long as Mr. Ga is happy, I will make arrangements for you whenever you want to come over to eat!"

Mrs. Sun had already dragged a roasted goose leg into the bowl of old Sun's head, and said with a smile: "Dad, this is your granddaughter and grandson-in-law's restaurant. What do you want to eat? Isn't it just a matter of words?"

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

Lao Suntou was in a good mood and said to everyone: "What I said before was funny. Thanks to all of you, let me enjoy happiness in my old age. I am not short of delicious food every day. I am living a good life as an old man."

!”

"Dad, if you are satisfied, we will be happy. Come on, let me give you a toast first."

Xiaojie's father picked up the wine cup with both hands and went to respect the old Sun Tou, who quickly picked up the wine cup as well.

Da Sun said anxiously: "Dad, you drink so much at noon, why do you still drink at night?"
