the longest dream

Chapter 477 Silence
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the butler of the old house in Shanghai brought Zhang Guozhong, Sun Yuehe and a group of relatives from the airport to the old house with a convoy. The children of Zhang and Sun met and met their relatives. It was so exciting!

After more than half a century of silence, the long-quiet old bungalow finally ushered in its new life.

"God! Qingzi built such a big yard in Shanghai, it's a park! Look, look, the leaves are still green...God, what a tall tree... two, There's another one over there!"

Second concubine Liu Xiu'e said happily.

The gold-medal housekeeper invited by the butler housekeeping company smiled and said: "My esteemed lady, this season, the sycamore tree will shed all its yellow leaves, but the camphor tree will not. These two are century-old camphor trees."

Liu Xiu'e: "..." The whole person can't do it anymore.

Sun Yuehe couldn't help but waved her hands and said, "That's funny... funny..."

The butler leaned forward and said, "Ma'am, my name is Dou En."

Sun Yuehe said: "Oh, funny, you go and do your work. Our own family is talking here, and we will trouble you if there is anything we don't understand."

The housekeeper is a man in his fifties from Shanghai. He should have learned the English style of housekeeping. He has a good style, but he doesn't fit in with this family from the frontier village... he doesn't fit in.

Fortunately, Sun Yuehe had seen a lot of the world, so she invited the housekeeper out.

The housekeeper nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, Ma'am, if you have anything to ask, you can also ask Ms. Yang Limei." Yang Limei is Li Tie's wife, and she is in charge of the house, including the nanny and the kitchen.Doane is in charge of gardens, motorcade, security and banquet preparations.

As soon as this person left, the whole family laughed like crazy.

Even Sun Qingshi couldn't help laughing, and said: "This man is really interesting, no wonder everyone says Shanghai people like to put on a foreign accent."

Zhang Lan knew better, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, he is a housekeeper like a foreigner, and they all say that foreign housekeepers are the best."

Liu Xiu'e said with a smile: "Quickly pull it down, my honorable lady, I was stunned, I don't know who he is calling."

A group of people laughed again, and they were bustling. Li Tie's wife, Yang Limei, the housekeeper of the bungalow, led Qi Ping, Li Suzhi, and Qi Tianhai over.

Qi Ping and Li Suzhi came earlier, went back to Qi's house to meet up, and picked up Qi Tianhai and his wife.

After the warm greetings from the two families, Sun Yuehe asked Li Suzhi, "Have the two children told you, what happened today?"

Li Suzhi shook her head and said, "Let's say it's a surprise, let's come here."

Li Yun smiled and said, "Didn't you say you're engaged?"

Li Suzhi smiled, and said: "Didn't tell me, and this kind of thing should be discussed by the two adults, and it is not appropriate for them to make a decision."

Zhang Guozhong said with a smile: "That's right, since ancient times, the major matters of marriage have been ordered by parents, and the words of matchmakers, there is no private life-long..."

Sun Yuehe stared: "What nonsense are you talking about? The two families are optimistic about the two children, and the parents are all nodding. Qingzi and Juanzi are also inseparable from each other, not a hundred times stronger than your matchmaker's words! That's not what the in-laws said, they mean that you should tell the adults about the engagement, and the adults should sit together and discuss it. What's the age, you're talking nonsense."

It's okay for the man's family to decide for life privately, but it's ugly for the woman's family.

Zhang Guozhong repented: "I made a mistake, I didn't read the book thoroughly, I made a joke. I mean, no matter what, you have to ask your in-laws for advice first. Qingzi has always respected your opinions..."

Li Suzhi was indifferent, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then seven out of ten are also Juanzi's idea, no wonder Zhang Qing."

Sun Yuehe disagreed again, and waved her hands again and again: "I've never seen a more generous and sensible child than Juanzi! In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a day or a day, our family has decided on this daughter-in-law! Juanzi can come to our house , that is the blessing of our family!"

Being a mother is not easy, try to find love...

She still felt that it might be a matter of engagement.

Li Suzhi smiled, no longer modest.

She looked at this garden house with an area of ​​eight and a half mu, and the construction area of ​​the house alone was more than [-] square meters, and she was very satisfied.

There are housekeepers, doormen, security guards, chefs, gardeners...

Any woman in this world who can live such a life, at least materially, should be happy.

Sloping roofs, red flat tiles, fireplace chimneys, and cobblestone walls are simple yet elegant.

It's not the kind of palace that the nouveau riche repairs according to Ouchi.

The courtyard has a beautiful environment, with two century-old towering trees, a forest of camphor trees, and rockeries, pavilions, and nurseries in the garden.

Dry-bonded cobblestone walls, machine-made flat tile roofs with steep slopes, balconies on the south side, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

It is clearly a house in a childhood fairy tale.

Li Suzhi was extremely satisfied, and the group entered the living room from the garden, a very modern living room.

Sun Qingshi and Qi Tianhai took their seats in the middle, and the others found their own places to sit down.

Uncle Sun Mantang looked around and said with a smile, "This is similar to the houses in Hong Kong TV dramas."

Qi Ping smiled and said: "The old set in Hong Kong Island originally passed through this side. It doesn't look big, only two floors, but it is quite delicate and warm. The two annex buildings in the garden are also well-built, and they are not It's abrupt, in the same style as the main building."

Sun Yuehe laughed and said, "We can't understand it either, but we think the house is pretty good."

The old lady of the Qi family is from Modu, and she still has the air of a young lady in her bones. She smiled and said: "This bungalow is older than us. It is a witness to the century-old situation by the Huangpu River. It is a pity that Xiao Zhang rebuilt it. , otherwise, you can smell the breath of history."

Zhao Juxiang couldn't understand what the old lady was talking about at all, and asked, "In such a big garden, are you panicking about growing grass?"

Li Ying laughed and said, "Grandma, what else do you want to do?"

Zhao Juxiang has a lot of ideas: "Open two acres of land to grow vegetables, another two acres of land to grow sunflowers, two acres of wheat, and then build a shed to raise some cattle and sheep, so much more!"

The old lady of the Qi family turned green, and the whole family burst out laughing.

Sun Yuehe said: "Mother, if you are willing to stay here with Dad, you can plant whatever you want!"

Zhao Juxiang shook her head again and again and said: "I don't want to keep it, it doesn't snow even in winter, it's just cold and damp, why keep it here?"

Qi Tianhai thought this rural old lady was cute, and said, "Shanghai is still very good. It's more interesting to see it by the Huangpu River."

Zhao Juxiang disregarded the warning from his wife's eyes, and said cheerfully, "Go to the river dam to blow the cool breeze in winter, and you'll freeze to death ass!"

Qi Tianhai laughed out loud, and the entire Sun family felt ashamed.

But Li Suzhi, who is usually very high-spirited, laughed along with her. The Sun family's family style has long won her respect.

Some folk customs are vulgar and more down-to-earth. This is the truth of real people's lives.

Everyone stopped Sun Qingshi and Zhao Juxiang from bickering, and Sun Yuehe asked, "What time is it, and I don't wear a watch."

A group of busy schedulers reporting time:

"Ten past six."

"Five forty!"

"Five forty!"

"Five forty!"

"Ok?"

Sun Yuehe stared at her daughter, and asked: "Your watch is broken? Why is your watch inaccurate? Every day, are you too confused?"

Zhang Lan was taught a lesson since she was a child, she has been desensitized for a long time, and she even laughed and laughed with Hairong Sun.

Li Suzhi smiled warmly and said: "Xiaolan is very good. She adjusted her watch half an hour earlier in order to be half an hour earlier than others. This year Xiaolan was awarded as an outstanding three-good student in Pingjing City, and her academic performance is also very good."

"La la la la~"

Zhang Lan danced a swing dance in front of her mother, so provocative, she was slapped and retreated as she wished.

Sun Yuehe said to Li Suzhi: "Thank you so much, my in-laws! Qingzi told me all about it, so you don't have to worry about it. If any of them are disobedient, you should deal with them severely!"

Sun Mantang, Sun Yuantang, Li Yun, Liu Xiu'e and others said one after another: "If you don't obey, you will be beaten to death!!"

Although they are rural people and have not read many books, they respect scholars from the bottom of their hearts and respect people who understand the principles of teaching children.

Respect for culture made Li Suzhi more able to accept these relatives in her heart. She was more sensible than many cultural people in the city. She smiled and said: "I don't care too much. First, the children are very competitive and know how to work hard. Second, Zhang Qing’s arrangement is very safe, there are cultural teachers in the culture class, and there are also very good teachers in music, art, and sports. Even the teachers who teach how to be a person and cultivate life skills are excellent teachers with high morals.”

The two families were very happy to hear that, and Sun Mantang smiled and said: "My children know it, so they are definitely not as good as you said. Our children are different from Zhang's. His family always makes their children study hard. We used to laugh at my sister and brother-in-law for being poor and making so many moths.

Look at it now, reading is different.But it is too difficult for our family to let them read it.She has been raised since preschool, and when she comes home from school, she has to put a pen of sheep to feed the pigs and dogs before she can do her homework.Those who get three to five points in the exam will just curse a few words, no one really cares.The foundation is too bad, and it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up in a while. "

Sun Yuantang said: "It doesn't matter what score you get in the exam, as long as you know how to learn. Everyone is still young, if you really have this heart, even if you get the last three years in the exam, you will be able to rise up sooner or later."

Hairong Sun said happily: "Dad, I didn't take the last place in the exam, but I was eighth from the bottom!"

Sun Haiyan was also happy: "I was seventh to last in the exam...but I'm not in the same class as her."

Sun Qingshi asked the children of the fourth and fifth families, "How much did you take?"

Sun Haijun lowered his head and said, "Number one from the bottom."

Sun Haitao also lowered his head and said, "The second to last."

Zhang Guozhong asked Zhang Liang: "How much did you take?"

Zhang Liang hesitated for a while, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "Liangliang took the third place in the class and twelfth in the whole grade. Yuan Yuan is also good, fifth in the class and [-]th in the whole grade. But Xiaowen and Xiaowu are the best, both Double hundred!"

The Sun family: "..."

Even if he had given himself some peace of mind before, the gap is too big, right?
Li Suzhi said with relief: "Zhang Liang and Zhang Yuan's learning methods are not the best, they are too hard. After all, you are still in the stage of growing your body. You stay up so early until two o'clock in the morning every day, and wake up at six o'clock in the morning. It’s not a long-term solution. If your body is broken, what’s the point of getting a high score in the exam? I’ve said it twice, but it’s probably useless. Now that your uncle is here, let him talk about it.”

A group of adults were terrified, and Sun Mantang frowned and said, "I only slept for four hours a day, and the adults couldn't bear it."

Sun Yuantang asked: "The two younger ones also come along?"

For Zhang Guozhong's sake, they are also willing to care about a few words.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Yuan lowered their heads and did not speak, Zhang Wen was losing his teeth this year, grinning and showing his broken teeth, he said with a smile: "Master, we all study hard, and in the future, we will earn a lot of money like the elder brother, and honor you and the aunt. "

Zhang Wu also nodded and said: "Well, we are obedient and study hard. Uncle and aunt are closer than parents!"

Zhang Guozhong's eyes were reddened by the flattering look in his eyes and the unbearable fear.

The others were also sighing, knowing what the child was afraid of...

But before Zhang Guozhong could speak, Yang Limei came in and said, "The boss's motorcade has arrived at the gate!"

Sun Yuehe laughed and said, "Come in when you get to the gate, what's the matter, the elders of this big family still go to meet the gate?"

Yang Limei smiled awkwardly, and said, "No, just come in and talk about it."

Li Suzhi smiled and said: "Don't go to the gate, just stand at the gate and have a look. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss you."

Except for the four old people and Zhang Guozhong, who restrained his emotions, everyone walked to the door talking and laughing, and the younger ones laughed and talked in the corridor.

After a while, I saw the concierge slowly open the two doors,

Two Hummers were at the head, a Rolls-Royce was in the middle, followed by two Mercedes-Benz, and finally two steel monsters, a convoy of seven cars.

After the Humvee came in, it stopped on both sides, and the Rolls-Royce drove along the aisle to the inside, zigzagging, and the two families were surprised by the formation, which was a big ostentation.

The car stopped slowly, and Li Tie quickly ran over with someone from behind, and opened the door.

Everyone saw Zhang Qing getting out of the car from the left side with a tightly wrapped..."package".

Qi Juan got out of the car from the right side with another..."baggage" that was also tightly wrapped.

Liu Shanshan is holding a large shopping basket in her hand, which contains... baby toys that can be understood at a glance, and she is overjoyed.

Everyone stood there in a daze, their mouths were all opened wide, very big...

For a moment, it seemed that the whole world was silent, frozen in this moment.

Only the river wind blowing from the Huangpu River witnessed the crowd... I don't know if it was a surprise or a frightened group portrait...
