Mr. Zhuang was silent for a while and then said: "Well, now is a good time for Yingnu to study. It will take at least a month to go back and forth. For students of this age, if they are relaxed for a month, their temperament may change."
After all, Mr. Zhuang was a little sad. When he went out to have a drink with Mr. Jiang, he said sadly: "Some people just don't have the bond of parent-child bonding, like me."
Mr. Jiang raised his hand and poured him a glass of fruit wine, replacing his white wine, "I don't dare let you drink this anymore. If you get drunk, your apprentice will probably make trouble for me."
He sighed: "I'm afraid your child was scared when he was little. He's a little timid and overly cautious, but he has a good heart for you."
Mr. Jiang glanced at the white hair on Mr. Zhuang's head and sighed, at this age, who doesn't want to have children and grandchildren around their knees?
Mr. Jiang thought for a while and personally sent the somewhat drunk Mr. Zhuang back. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited in the yard. After Zhou Man and Bai Shan had served them to sleep, he nodded to them and sighed: "You guys
My husband was a late bloomer, and he only became famous at this age. Even if he is not very close to his son, he still wants to take care of him more. What man doesn’t want to have his wife as a shadow and be worshiped by his children and grandchildren? "
Zhou Man looked at Bai Shan and said, "Shall we send someone to invite senior brother?"
Bai Shan frowned, "I'm afraid most people can't ask Senior Brother, Senior Brother... he's a little stubborn."
He's a little stubborn, he's simply too stubborn. I don't know who his temper is like. Mr. Ming is such an open-minded and cheerful person. Master... Although they have never met her, they know her from Mr.'s mouth.
He is a gentle and tough person. Except that his face looks a bit like Mr., I really don’t see how he resembles Mr....
Oh, there are still some, and their character is okay?
Bai Shan pondered and looked at Zhou Man: "Let fourth brother go?"
Zhou Man originally wanted to go there by herself, but after hearing Bai Shan's words, she thought about it and felt that her fourth brother was more suitable than her.
If she goes, she is afraid that her senior brother will be even less willing to come.
Zhou Man nodded, "Okay, I'll go invite Fourth Brother."
Zhou Lang has just come back from the sea. The white hair that he brought back during the Chinese New Year has now turned black again. He is eating vegetables at home, really eating vegetables. After two months at sea, except for the occasional green vegetables that they can eat when they dock, they are eating vegetables at home.
You can only eat bean sprouts on the boat.
So much so that now he not only sees bean sprouts and tofu, but his face is green, but he also likes to eat the leaves of various vegetables grown at home...
Seeing Bai Shan and Zhou Man coming, he hurriedly waved, "You're just in time, come over for dinner."
Zhou Man looked surprised, "It's neither early nor late. Which meal did you have?"
Zhou Lang paused and said, "This is breakfast and dinner."
Mrs. Fang brought out two pairs of clean dishes and chopsticks, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Last night he kept saying that the bed was shaking and he couldn't fall asleep. He didn't sleep until everyone got up in the morning and the children went to school.
The adults went out to work, and then he fell asleep, and he has slept till now."
"So this meal for him is breakfast and lunch." Mrs. Fang knew that they were not very hungry at the moment. This was her own house and she didn't want them to hold on, so she only served them a little food. "The kitchen will be ready soon."
It’s dinner, I’ll make it for you whatever you want to eat.”
Zhou Man shook his head, "I just had some snacks at home and I'm not hungry at all."
Zhou Lang said: "Bring the caviar I brought back and give them a taste."
He turned to them and said: "I was going to send it to you, but you came here on your own. We bought this caviar from a tribe overseas. The caviar there is very large, and they use a special kind of caviar."
The spices are boiled. It smells good to me and tastes delicious. You guys have a try. I bought several jars. If you think it tastes good, I will take two jars back later."
Zhou Man responded in one breath.
Zhou Lang then asked, "What are you going home for? It's either sooner or later."
Usually when I come over on weekends, I'm in a hurry to have a meal.
Zhou Man chuckled and said, "Fourth brother, do you want to go back to your hometown?"
"I don't want to," Zhou Lang said, "I want to sell the goods I brought back this time. Lijun said that some people are trying to steal business from us on the Northland's current trade routes and deliberately raise the prices. Now many caravans are in the Northland.
I can’t receive any good leather materials or medicinal materials, so I plan to go to the North to have a look.”
Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "Can we leave this matter to Li Jun?"
"First tell me why you want me to go back to my hometown."
Zhou Mandao: "We want to invite Senior Brother Zhuang and his family to come to the capital, but Bai Shan and I are afraid that Senior Brother Zhuang will get in trouble and misunderstand Sir. There is some misunderstanding between Sir and Senior Brother, you know..."
Zhou Lang knew it, and he immediately said: "It's Mr. Zhuang's business, okay, I'm going back to my hometown, just to take a look at the medicinal materials grown in the village. If they are good, I will select a batch of good ones and send them up. Beidi can hand them over to Li Jun."
"
Mr. Zhuang has the supreme status in the Zhou family, more important than Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. The Zhou family will never refuse his affairs.
Zhou Lang and Zhuang Dalang were also the closest, even more so than Zhou Man and his senior brother.
After all, since Mr. Zhuang came to Beijing, Zhou Lang would send things to Zhuang Dalang for Mr. Zhuang whenever he returned to Luojiang County. When he went to Beijing, he would go to Zhuang's house to pick up the things Zhuang Dalang gave Mr. Zhuang. After going back and forth, the two of them became very familiar.
Zhuang Dalang's boss also did business, and he met Zhou Lang through Zhuang Dalang. The two of them had closer contacts, and occasionally they would sit and have wine together. Therefore, Zhou Man, Bai Shan, and Bai Erlang were more familiar with their senior brother than Zhou Man, Bai Shan, and Bai Erlang.
Zhou Lang did not neglect, and began to prepare to return to his hometown after accepting the task. He distributed the goods he brought and gave them to his family. The rest, he gave some to Zhao Liulang, and asked Liu Zi and the others to send some.
He gave it to Princess Changyu and asked them to sell it through their own channels. Then he packed up his carriage and went back to his hometown.
When he got home, he handed over the collection of medicinal materials to his second and third brothers. He dipped his sleeve into some ginger juice and went to see Zhuang Dalang.
When they met, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and his eyes turned red instantly.
Zhuang Dalang:......
Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Lang had already come up and pulled his sleeve and said: "Brother Zhuang, you are so cruel. My husband even put down his dignity to invite you, but you still don't want to go to Beijing."
Zhuang Dalang's expression changed in fright, he grabbed his hand and asked, "What's wrong with my father?"
Zhou Lang's appearance is really misleading. Not only the corners of his eyes are red, but also bloodshot, his face is haggard, and his hair is a little messy...
He had just gotten off the boat and had been on the road again without rest for two days. The journey was dusty, and Zhou Lang, who had not had a change of clothes in particular, felt as haggard as possible.
Zhou Lang wiped away his tears and said: "As soon as Mr. received your letter, he couldn't help but feel sad. He got drunk with others and made them extremely frustrated..."
Zhou Lang pulled Zhuang Dalang and cried, "You are also a grandfather. As a father and grandfather, don't you want to make more money for your children and let them spend it as they please? Mr. Zhuang's father's heart is the same as yours
