Xu Jingtian's Birthday
On the main road of the Great Front Gate,
Zhang Zheng and Han Chunming took advantage of the time when their sister-in-law and second brother were quarreling to run out.
"Zhengzi, you're really too bad. You're just trying to trick my second brother.”
After running a little further away from the courtyard house, Han Chunming panted heavily and punched Zhang Zheng.
"Aren't you also an accomplice?" Zhang Zheng calmed his breathing slightly and said with a smile,
"It's mainly because your second brother is usually too stingy. If it were someone else, I don't think sister-in-law and the others would believe it.”
Han Chunming laughed.
"That's true. Last time I looked for my second brother, it was difficult to borrow five yuan from him.”
"Alright, let's not care about them. I originally wanted to have a good drink with you at your house, but now it's gone. Let's go to the tavern.”
Zhang Zheng shook his head and threw the unhappiness to the back of his mind as he said to Han Chunming.
Han Chunming nodded and followed him. They chatted as they walked.
"Right, Zhengzi, did you take the box? Don't let my sister-in-law throw it away like it's trash.”
"Isn't this in my hand? Are you blind?”
……
In the Big Front Gate Tavern.
Zhang Zheng and Han Chunming were familiar with this place. They arrived in a minute.
Before he entered, Zhang Zheng could hear the commotion inside.
" One-track-minded, good brothers, three stars shining high, four seasons rich, five chiefs, six, seven coins, eight hands…"
When Zhang Zheng entered the tavern, he saw that there were also drinking games in the tavern today.
They must have drunk too much and were having a good time.
Although the tavern was lively, it wasn't filled with people. Zhang Zheng looked around and saw a familiar face. He quickly pulled Han Chunming over.
"Master, when did you come back?”
"Hey, it's you. Chunming is here too. What a coincidence, I just came back today.”
The one who spoke was Zhang Zheng's master, Niu Gensheng. The neighbors called him Lord Niu.
Firstly, it was because he was older.
Secondly, he was a decent and fair person. If there were any disputes between neighbors, they would look for him to mediate.
A few days ago, he went to visit his son's house to see his eldest grandson. Zhang Zheng had not seen him all this time. He did not expect to bump into him as soon as he returned.
However, he was not surprised because his master would come to the tavern to drink and brag when he had nothing to do. It had already become a habit.
"Master, I'll go order some food first. Please wait a moment.”
Zhang Zheng said with a smile after greeting Lord Niu.
With that, he walked to the front desk and said to the boss, Xu Huizhen,
"Aunt Xu, give me half a catty of Erguotou, peanuts, a plate of beef tripe, and a roast chicken!”
"Okay, Zhengzi, I heard that you opened a grocery store and your business is quite good.”
Xu Huizhen casually chatted as she handed him something.
"Hai, you already know about this. Chunming, I, and a few other classmates opened it together.”
"That's not bad. I really didn't know that you were good at doing business.”
Zhang Zheng took the wine and food and smiled modestly.
"When it comes to business, you're the expert. This tavern has been here since I was born. It's been twenty years and it's still standing.”
"Go, don't give me that!" Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at Zhang Zheng, then seemed to have remembered something." Right, Zhengzi, Jingtian's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Don't forget."”
"Don't worry, Aunt Xu. I wouldn't dare to forget that little ancestor's birthday.”
Xu Huizhen had a total of three daughters. The eldest daughter was Xu Jingli, the second daughter was Xu Jingping, and the third daughter was Xu Jingtian. The four of them combined to form Truth Peaceful Heavens.
Xu Jingtian was ten years old this year, and she was very cute. When Zhang Zheng played with Xu Jingping, she always liked to follow him around.
Because Zhang Zheng was an only child, he had always treated her as his younger sister and liked to tease her.
Although he said that he did not dare to forget Jingtian's birthday, he would have forgotten about it if Aunt Xu had not reminded him.
He thought to himself that he was lucky and remembered this matter in his heart. Then, he carried the wine and food back to his master's table.
"Zhengzi, I heard from Chunming that you've collected a few good things in the past two days.”
As soon as he sat down, Lord Bull, who was sipping his wine, put down his wine glass and said to Zhang Zheng.
"No problem. I'll go to your house tomorrow and you can appreciate it.”
Zhang Zheng agreed very quickly. His master was also a collector. He usually liked to play with all kinds of good antiques.
Most importantly, his master liked calligraphy and furniture collections the most. He did not have to worry about those two items. Once they entered his hands, they would never come back.
If it were calligraphy or furniture, he would really have to think about it.
Moreover, Zhang Zheng knew that his master had many treasures in his hands. He was still thinking about whether he could take one or two out of his hands.
However, his master and the Nine Gates Admiral only entered and could not leave. They were old and shrewd masters. He still needed to study this matter carefully and plan it out.
