After flipping through a few pages, Zhang Yongsheng put down the manuscript and said with a smile: "It looks good, but the pace is too slow. Young people may not like it. How is your health recently? Dr. Zeng said that your health is recovering very well, and the innate meridians are The problem has improved significantly, how do you feel?"
Zhang Xuewen nodded and said: "It's not bad. I feel more energetic and not as tired as before. It's just my body that's holding me back. I can't do anything, which makes my mother and Qiuyue suffer."
Zhang Yongsheng said with a smile: "If you are well, then you should hurry up. Just now, the second aunt was urging my sister-in-law again. My sister-in-law is also very uncomfortable. There are too many gossips around her and she has suffered a lot of grievances."
Zhang Xuewen was noncommittal and asked: "What about you, how was this exam? Are you lagging behind again?"
Zhang Yongsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You guessed wrong this time. I am going to advance to the top ten this time, and strive to be among the top ten in the whole grade next school year. With the enrollment rate of No. 2 Middle School, the top ten results should be mixed. A junior college degree. I don’t have much talent in reading, so I’ll be satisfied if I can get a junior college degree.”
Zhang Xuewen shook his head and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are really born in the blessings and don't know the blessings. If my uncle hears you say this, he will definitely beat you again. But the junior college is not bad, much better than my brother. I have studied in a technical secondary school. Half his life was taken, and if it hadn’t been for Dr. Zeng, the grass on the grave would have been ten feet high.”
Zhang Yongsheng said sarcastically: "I can't help it. He forced me to study just to catch a duck. If you are in better health, you will definitely be able to get into college. Give it a few more years to take care of yourself, give birth to a child, and then take the time to review and review. Maybe I can go to a normal school or something."
Zhang Xuewen smiled and said: "I don't expect that. I will be so old by then. How can anyone take the college entrance examination at the age of thirty? Then I will really become Fan Jin and pass the exam. I know they all say that I am a nerd, but nerds are also It’s not that she doesn’t understand things. My mother is getting older and I feel worried.”
Zhang Yongsheng waved his hand and said: "Don't listen to their nonsense. They are all jealous of your iron rice bowl. This is the bad culture in our town, and they like to spread rumors about family affairs. I will try to arrange my sister-in-law in the county, that is In order to make it easier to take care of your home, you have to hurry up."
Zhang Xuewen smiled helplessly: "How old are you, you just follow my mother and worry about it. Just listen to what my mother says, don't take it seriously. Everything about having children is left to chance and cannot be forced."
Zhang Yongsheng sighed: "Anyway, I'll just bring the message here, and you can figure it out. My sister-in-law lives in my house in the county, and the boss is my neighbor, so don't worry. Come over when you are free on the weekend, and I'll leave it for you. Room. There happens to be a bus on weekends, so it’s very convenient to come and go.”
Zhang Xuewen said gratefully: "Thank you so much for this, I don't even know what to say. She is far away, and my family is worried. She is in the county, and with you taking care of her, I don't have to worry. "
Zhang Yongsheng said politely: "There is no need to say thank you, we are brothers. My dad told me before leaving the car that he asked me to take time to come and visit more and try my best to help."
The two brothers stayed in the study until dinner and talked a lot. Zhang Yongsheng is a jack of all trades, he knows a little bit about everything, and he is very good at finding topics. Even a young man like Zhang Xuewen, who was obsessed with literature, could still chat happily. He even admired himself.
Wu Qiuyue and Aunt Zhang cooked a large table of dishes specifically to entertain Zhang Yongsheng. Although Zhang Yongsheng was very embarrassed, he was not polite when he started using his hands, and Hu Chihai stuffed a lot of them. Zhang Xuewen had a small appetite, so after he finished eating, he would accompany him with a tea cup and chat about some gossip in the town.
After dinner, Zhang Yongsheng returned to his small courtyard and continued working. He still had a lot of summer homework to do. I fell behind a lot when I was in Jiangyuan. After returning to Yunshan, I took the time to make up for it. This time I went back to Zizhu Town to worship my ancestors. I had a lot of free time, so I just happened to do more to avoid being embarrassed when school started.
This summer vacation homework is the most stressful in recent years. In addition to the school assignments, there are also the tutoring progress required by Bai Zhixuan and the exercise papers given by Chen Li. He is in pain and happiness now. Although he feels helpless, he can only concentrate on improving his academic performance.
Starting from the next day, Zhang Yongsheng prepared things for sacrifice during the day, while sorting and drying his grandfather's old books, and crammed for homework at night, so his time schedule was quite full. His classmate Liu Wei asked him to play together before the holiday. He is currently unavailable and can only wait until the sacrifice is over.
Grandpa Zhang Yongsheng left behind many old books, and the contents are very miscellaneous. I don’t know where he got them. Zhang Yongsheng only knew that the old man was not highly educated, but he particularly admired literate people, so he liked to collect arty books, so he left behind many ancient books.
These books filled two entire rooms, and Zhang Yongsheng was extremely tired every time he posted them. Since discovering the secrets in these books last year, he has become very careful. He must carefully classify every book, for fear of missing some rare books.
Last year, Zhang Yongsheng discovered more than one or two martial arts secret books, as well as many relatively low-end martial arts atlases, such as the Taizu Changquan and Coiling Dragon Staff that he planned to give to Zhao Yunfei. These two kinds of martial arts are not widely available, and they are relatively easy to find whether in libraries or bookstores.
But when it comes to a map that completely dismantles the two martial arts, this is the only one. Both books are manuscripts and appear to be at least a hundred years old. Regardless of the value of its content, books can be sold at a good price as antiques, so Zhang Yongsheng is reluctant to part with them.
But considering that the inheritance of martial arts still requires some sense of ritual, and having these ancient books can improve credibility, he can't be too stingy. In the future, when Zhao Yunfei goes out to recruit disciples, with such an ancient book to dominate the situation, his words will be more convincing.
Wu Qiuyue had nothing to do at home, so she came over to help Zhang Yongsheng when she had time. Zhang Yongsheng had to dry ancient books and prepare things for sacrifice. He was too busy to take any time off. It would be much better with Wu Qiuyue's help. She could do some errands, saving him a lot of time.
The sacrifice was held in the ancestral hall of my hometown in Zhangwan Village, but the ancestral hall only prepared items for public sacrifice, and each family prepared their own items for each house. Zhang Xuewen's things have been prepared a long time ago, and Zhang Yongsheng is rushing to work. All kinds of fragrant wax paper money and white paper baggage need to be completed by hand.
After working hard for nearly a week, Zhang Yongsheng basically got everything he needed to prepare. It's much better with Wu Qiuyue's help. Zhang Yongsheng frees up a lot of time. He can also listen to foreign language tapes and make phone calls with Bai Zhixuan on his mobile phone. Life is still very comfortable.
Zizhu Town is located in a remote mountain ravine. There is only one mobile phone base station nearby. It was just established and the mobile phone signal is very poor. Every time Zhang Yongsheng makes a call, he has to run near the base station and circle around the base station to make calls, which has become a strange scene in the town.
