Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 954 The Origin of Full Tank

But the reason is that Manjia's conditions are particularly good.

The house alone can put the Jia family behind a lot.

The Man family now lives in a courtyard with one entrance, which is very spacious for the Man family with only three people.

Moreover, this yard was passed down from the family’s ancestors and is their private property.

As for the job, it is even better. Now I am working as a trade union officer.

The other party's wife disappeared five years ago. At that time, she left behind a boy, a girl, and two teenage children.

In the past few years, there have been many people who wanted to introduce someone to him, but he rejected them all because he couldn't let go of his deceased wife.

Over time, everyone came to know that he was an affectionate person.

It's hard not to be suspicious of such a person with such an affectionate label suddenly hooking up with Jia Zhang.

If someone had married someone else a few years ago when their children were still young, even if they were married to Jia and Zhang, it would not be so shocking.

After all, the two children still needed to be taken care of at that time. Although Jia Zhang was older than Mantan, the excuse of taking care of the children still made sense.

But now that the youngest of the two children is 17, he no longer needs adult care.

At this time, it is not cost-effective to find a second wife and bring a large family to drag him down.

Zhang Yu's first reaction was that there was something fishy here. How could such a person fall in love with Jia Zhang?

Of course, this is not necessarily true. After all, it cannot be ruled out that the other party and Jia Zhang really see each other and are in love.

vomit!
Zhang Yu was disgusted by his own association.

Feng Laoliu was amused by what Zhang Yu said. He never knew that Xiaoyu was so good at burying people.

However, after saying this, he also felt something was wrong.

Some doubted whether there was something about Jia Zhang that could be spied upon.

Thinking of this, Feng Laoliu's face instantly became serious.

He looked at Zhang Yu: "I will ask someone to help pay attention!"

That night, when the family was having dinner together, Zhang Yu accidentally mentioned this at the dinner table, and then welcomed the threesome.

"Cough cough... cough cough!" Zhao Feng slapped his chest hard, tears came out from his coughing, and he coughed out the rice grains that had just been choked in his trachea.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling lucky to have survived the disaster.

"Brother, are you okay?" Zhang Yu was also startled by his elder brother's behavior just now. At the same time, he felt vaguely regretful. He would have known that he would not have said this just now.

"Ahem...it's okay!"

Seeing that he was fine, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pour a glass of water and handed it to him.

Zhao Feng took the water glass and took two sips to moisten his sore throat due to coughing.

Then he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a strange expression: "Xiaoyu, don't tease me again when eating in the future."

Hearing what he said, he felt unhappy: "Why am I teasing you? Everything I just said is true."

"Pfft!" Zhao Feng had just drank the water in his mouth, but before he could swallow it, it spat out because of Zhang Yu's words.

The cough that had calmed down started again. "Ahem...Xiaoyu, are you telling the truth?" Zhao Feng didn't even care about coughing now and looked at Zhang Yu in shock.

Several people next to him who were also shocked were staring directly at Zhang Yu.

Even Zhao Wenzhuo, who had always been serious, had eyes shining with curiosity on his face.

"Of course..." Seeing that his family members were curious, Zhang Yu directly told the news he heard during the day.

After speaking, everyone present fell silent.

After a long while, Zhao Feng asked with some difficulty: "What does Mantan see in her?"

Zhang Yu shook his head. If he knew, he wouldn't be curious anymore.

The family was discussing enthusiastically. As they were talking, what did Zhang Guifang suddenly think of?
"Speaking of Manjia's affairs, I really know a little bit."

As soon as these words came out, the whole family looked at Zhang Guifang uniformly.

Seeing the eagerness in the eyes of the children, Zhang Guifang smiled slightly, and then said while recalling: "Speaking of the Man family, there is also a history. I remember that the Man family does not seem to be Han people."

This is not surprising. After all, the last ruling dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, was a minority regime. As the capital and political center of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing had many ethnic minorities moved there.

Later, after the founding of New China, these people returned to their hometowns, and those who changed their surnames changed to Han surnames.

For example, the Tong Jia family of Emperor Kangxi's mother clan, which we are familiar with, was later mostly changed to Tong or Tong.

There are many others like Tong Jia, such as the Wujia family who changed their Han surname to Ma, the Fucha family who changed their Han surname to Fu, Fu, Li...

The few people who did not change their surnames also kept a low profile.

Of course, there are also some so-called Manchu elders who rely on their noble status and cling to the past glory of their ancestors, and still live according to the old traditions until now.

We are all Chinese and compatriots. Zhang Yu has no objection to any nationality.

But the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and every nation has a few scum.

Not all of these Manchu relics are bad people, there are also many good ones.

Zhang Yu once saw a certain "noble" who believed in his high status and forced others to give up his seat even though he was not very young.

The way he takes it for granted and yells at others if they don't let him do it makes people uncomfortable to watch.

Seemingly seeing what Zhang Yu was thinking, Zhang Guifang shook her head: "The Man family is not Manchu. The ancestors of the Man family are Hui people. It's just that they have been in the capital for a long time. Except for some deep-rooted things, everything else is different." They are no different from the Han people."

Zhao Feng was surprised: "Hui people? Mom, you really can't tell if you don't tell me."

"Well, several generations of the Manchu family have been living in the capital city, and some of the middle generations have married Han girls, and they have gradually been Hanized.

When you mentioned the full tank, I suddenly remembered something.

The Man family gave birth to three children in the previous generation, but they did not arrive at the right time. The eldest of the three children died in infancy, and the second child was raised until he was four or five years old. When watching the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Man family couple did not even see each other. When he saw it, he was kidnapped.

After the child was abducted, the whole family was almost blinded by tears. They searched for it for four or five years without finding it, and then they finally gave birth to the youngest child.

The two older brothers above him are gone, and the youngest one is being guarded like an eyeball by the old couple, just in case something happens again.

Seeing that I was fifteen or sixteen years old and was about to get married, I just went out for a visit. I didn't know why I offended a certain nobleman. I was kicked by the dog next to the nobleman. I vomited blood at that time. Lying on the ground and unable to get up.

After those people left, a neighbor who knew him asked someone to help carry him home, and he died that night. "
