Chapter 286: There are peaches in the garden, which are the real delicacies
Time flies.
With birthday wishes, Zhang Yong celebrated his thirty-sixth birthday.
This year, Zhang Heng was thirty-one, Zhang Xiaoxiao was twenty-six, and Liu Nan was twenty-seven.
Time always flies by.
Looking back, it seems like yesterday that I came to the world of the archipelago. Now, Zhang Xiaoxiao is getting married.
The marriage partner is the little genius named Chen Jun.
Originally they didn't want to be in such a hurry, but Zhang Xiaoxiao became pregnant, and the two of them discussed keeping the child as a way of getting married.
Neither Zhang Heng nor Zhang Yong objected to this.
After all, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Chen Jun have been together for several years, and their relationship has always been good. Now that they have children, it is natural for them to get married.
"I did the math, there are still three months until the end of the year, and the end of the year is an auspicious day."
"If you have no objection, I want to set the date at the end of the year. At that time, I will use ten shops in our names to count as the dowry of the third sister. What do you think?"
Zhang Yong's waist was straight, as if he could carry mountains.
But when Zhang Heng looked carefully, he found that Zhang Yong's eyes were full of weariness because there were too many things pressing on him.
"I have no opinion."
Zhang Heng looked at it indifferently. Marriage was a matter between a young couple. One was unmarried and the other was unmarried. If they wanted to stay together for a long time, what could they, the eldest brothers, object to.
Whether life is good or bad is a matter for later.
Some people behave honestly before getting married, but after getting married, they seem to be a different person and start singing happily every night.
There are also people who were romantically involved before getting married, but once they got married, they became less interested and started to work together with their wives.
It’s hard to go into all the details here.
As for Chen Jun, what about this person?
It's a bit calculated, but as the saying goes, if you don't do it for yourself, heaven will destroy you.
Chen Jun's whole family was wiped out, and he was burdened with a blood feud. He was living alone, and it was normal for him to have some calculations.
even though.
If Zhang Yong was not one of the top ten heroes of the Yugoslav Federation and a leader of the younger generation, Chen Jun would not be able to marry Zhang Xiaoxiao.
But the problem is that Zhang Yong is one of the top ten heroes of Yugoslavia, a leading figure of the younger generation.
If Chen Jun wants to rebuild the Chen family and avenge his parents, he must embrace Zhang Yong's lap. As long as Zhang Yong falls, Zhang Xiaoxiao will never fall out of favor in front of Chen Jun.
As for whether this is happiness.
Zhang Xiaoxiao, who believes in love, is with the person she likes.
Chen Jun, who believed in power, took the younger sister of a contemporary genius.
Both of them get what they get. Although it is not perfect, it cannot be said to be unfortunate.
The long sky.
When will you have mercy on me?
The vast number of dependents.
For whom are you sad?
In the palace of marriage, how many newlyweds stand together without regrets?
Can you marry the one I love?
I can marry someone who loves me.
This is already a very lucky thing.
"Second brother..."
I learned that the wedding date was set for three months.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was excited but also a little concerned about gains and losses. She came to Zhang Heng's courtyard for some reason.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Heng was a little surprised by Zhang Xiaoxiao's arrival.
After Zhang Xiaoxiao grew up, she was not very close to him. After she got a boyfriend, she could not see her even for three or two months.
"I am reminded of what happened when I was a child."
"When I was a child, I loved coming to play in your yard. Soon I will be a mother. Time flies so fast."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said, stroking his belly: "Chen Jun is not here today, and I want to buy some jewelry. Second brother, why don't you go with me."
"I?"
Zhang Heng was a little confused: "Why don't you ask Liu Nan to accompany you?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao thinks that one place is another, and this is to make him suddenly self-conscious.
"she?"
Mentioning Liu Nan, Zhang Xiaoxiao lost her composure: "She looks deserted all day long. She's pretending to be for everyone. She will get angry when she sees her."
Zhang Xiaoxiao and Liu Nan have never dealt with each other.
The reason is simple. Liu Nan is more beautiful than Zhang Xiaoxiao and has better talent than her.
Standing next to Liu Nan, she is like the green leaves next to the lotus.
Therefore, in Zhang Xiaoxiao's view, Liu Nan pretends to be pure all day long, just like a white lotus. In fact, when the white lotus is broken out, the lotus heart inside is black.
"no one is perfect."
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "Liu Nan's enthusiasm is not enough. When you start to like her, you can say a word of pity to her, and then she can take charge of her own business."
"I like her?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
"Don't underestimate her."
Zhang Heng said sternly: "In terms of talent and talent, Liu Nan is still above the elder brother, but he is a little younger, and lacks the ruthlessness of the elder brother who is cruel to others and even more cruel to himself. He is not crazy and can't survive.
"
"But I estimate that Liu Nan will not be able to surpass his eldest brother in ten or twenty years."
"But thirty years later, if there is no accident, one-on-one, I'm afraid the eldest brother will give her three points."
Compared with real geniuses, Zhang Yong, who only has high-grade spiritual roots, cannot be considered a genius.
The reason why he can be ranked among the top ten is not inferior to those of the top spiritual practitioners of his generation, because he has been overstretching his body and increasing the intensity of his training, so in the long run it is inevitable that he will not be able to succeed.
This is like other children going to first grade at the age of seven and learning first grade knowledge.
There is a child who started learning first-grade knowledge at the age of five. After entering first grade, he made up three hours of extra lessons every day. He ranked among the top five in every exam.
Is he a genius?
In elementary school, the learning tasks were not too heavy. He would study while others watched cartoons, and he could indeed use this to pretend to be a genius.
The problem is that in junior high school, high school, and college, the learning tasks become more and more heavy, and everyone learns unconsciously, and this advantage disappears.
When talking about genius, what is genius?
Once you learn it, you will be good at it, and after a while, you will be good at it.
But there is something to say, draw inferences from one instance.
This is genius.
Zhang Yongyong has such talent.
Liu Nan does.
Therefore, in Zhang Heng's view, if Zhang Yong had no other opportunities and just developed steadily, it would be a matter of time before he was surpassed by Liu Nan.
"How can she be so good at smashing this little watch?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was so angry that her teeth itched.
"Well..."
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment: "You are going to be a wife and a mother soon. How can you be so polite when you are so full of swear words?"
"Second brother, I have no qualities."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said and walked out.
"Why are you going, not shopping?"
Zhang Heng asked.
"I'm not going, I'm going back to practice."
Zhang Xiaoxiao left in a hurry.
"You only know how to practice now?"
Thinking of Zhang Xiaoxiao's cultivation, Zhang Heng shook his head: "It's a little late."
Zhang Xiaoxiao is twenty-six years old this year.
When Zhang Yong was twenty-six years old, he was already in the fourth realm, the spiritual cultivation realm.
Now, Liu Nan is also in the soul-nurturing realm, while Zhang Xiaoxiao is only in the second realm, which he has just stepped into from the first realm.
If nothing else happens, she will never reach the fourth realm in her life, otherwise the Zhang family's aunt, who has lived for hundreds of years, will not be stuck in the third realm at her old age.
"Forget it, I know hard work is a good thing."
Efforts may not necessarily yield results, but they will give you peace of mind, at least you have tried.
If you don't even give it a try, how can you say you are a waste.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao regaining his enthusiasm for spiritual practice, Zhang Heng was also happy to see the success.
But when he thought about the wedding, he couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Yong said that he would use ten shops to make Zhang Xiaoxiao's dowry, and then it would be up to their two brothers to give their sister their affection.
The issue is.
The shop belonged to Zhang Yong. How could Zhang Heng have the nerve to let Zhang Yong take the shop and then write his name on it after taking it? It was considered a favor between the two of them.
This isn't appropriate.
"I'll go out for a walk too."
"See if there are any good things. If so, buy them. I don't have to say whether they are expensive or not. At least it's your intention."
Just do it.
Zhang Heng closed the door and went to Xiushifang City to take a walk.
It only took me a long time.
I couldn't find a random gift either.
It's not a matter of money, Zhang Heng will go out for a walk when he has nothing to do. To ordinary people or even monks who have ascended to the fairyland, a tightly guarded deep-sea beast's nest is full of flaws, just like visiting a garden.
During this wandering, he also picked up a few rare treasures.
In terms of net worth, Zhang Yong is probably not as good as him.
"Do you understand the rules?"
"I mean, it's true that this is the egg of a North Sea turtle, but I didn't say it would definitely hatch, right?"
"If it's so easy to hatch, why should I sell it to you? Why don't I keep it for myself?"
Zhang Heng was about to walk back.
Suddenly I saw a group of people making trouble around a shop.
Just ask.
It turned out that three years ago, this shop obtained a North Sea turtle egg for sale.
The price was very cheap, so several small families banded together to cover it.
As a result, several years have passed and the egg has not moved at all.
Several families felt that they had been deceived, so they brought the eggs to the merchant to argue and clamored to get their money back.
"Tig Island Turtle!"
Zhang Heng has heard of this stuff.
This is a large, non-aggressive, neutral sea beast unique to the North Sea.
The beast lives up to its name.
Once hatched, the Island Turtle can grow one mile a year.
It only takes a hundred years to grow to a size of a hundred miles, and it looks like an island, allowing people to live on it.
It's just that the Tuo Island turtle can generally only be hatched on Zugui Island, and it is difficult to hatch it in human hands.
Even some large families in the North Sea that own Tuo Island Turtles as habitats cannot tell how their Tuo Island Turtles hatched, and it is even rarer in the South China Sea.
"This egg..."
Zhang Heng opened his Dharma Eyes.
To the eye, this turtle egg is just like Zhang Yong's previous body. On the surface, it looks fine, but in fact, the breath of life inside is very weak. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dead egg.
"Not enough vitality to hatch!"
Zhang Heng thought for a while and murmured: "It's not difficult for those who can, but it's difficult for those who can't. For me, lack of vitality is not a problem."
There is no place to be found even after wearing iron shoes.
Zhang Xiaoxiao’s wedding gift is here.
For Chen Jun, whose family was wiped out and wanted to revitalize his family, what could be more suitable than a piggyback turtle?
...
Three months later.
Zhang Xiaoxiao’s wedding was held as scheduled.
However, there were many guests at the wedding banquet, so Zhang Heng did not take out the eggs of the Tuo Island Turtle.
It wasn't until the evening when the guests dispersed that Zhang Heng found Chen Jun and Chen Jun privately: "Chen Jun, third sister, this is a gift from the second brother to you."
"Second brother, we are all members of our own family, why are you so polite?"
Chen Jun didn't care at first.
After all, he had heard Zhang Xiaoxiao say a long time ago that his second brother, who lives in a simple and simple way, is a useless person without spiritual roots. He usually has low self-esteem and never steps out of the door. It is good that he can come today.
.
"You should like my gift, let's take a look."
Zhang Heng handed the box to Chen Jun.
"It's quite heavy."
Chen Jun picked it up and found that the box was indeed quite heavy.
When he opened it again, he found a crystal clear strange egg inside, the size of a head, with fine cracks on the surface.
"This is..."
Chen Jun carefully identified one or two, and said with some uncertainty: "Second brother, does this thing look like the egg of a Tuo Island turtle?"
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "It's not like that, it is, and this egg is not far away from hatching. If you look at the cracks on the eggshell, it will only be within a month or two if nothing unexpected happens."
Zhang Heng did not explain the origin of the egg, but smiled and said: "I am a useless person without spiritual roots, so the gift I gave you is not useless, right?"
"Second brother, my dear second brother."
Chen Jun burst into tears: "If my Chen family had been protected by the Tuo Island Turtle back then, how could we have been wiped out by others!"
Zhang Heng chuckled: "Don't cry on this big day."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Live your life well, the second brother is gone."
Looking at Zhang Heng's back.
Zhang Xiaoxiao had mixed feelings and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
When did my once favorite second brother become a stranger?
Think about it.
It must have been when I was thirteen years old that I realized the importance of spiritual roots for the first time.
The eldest brother is a genius with superior spiritual roots.
The second brother is just a useless person without spiritual roots.
Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.
Since then, it has not been mentioned anymore.
"well!"
He sighed, his eyes a little hazy.
Vaguely, it seemed like I was back in time.
The second brother was sitting under the tree. She squatted behind him and said to him: "Second brother, second brother, when I grow up, whoever dares to say that you are a useless person, I will help you beat him, do you agree?"
