There were no such concerns at the children's table, and the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding was very dense. Zhang Qingzhu used his mental power to scan the table, and the chopsticks of the people at the table, regardless of their size, left afterimages.

Although Zhang Qingzhu's table was not as noisy as the children's table, everyone was picking up food with chopsticks just as often. By the time Zhang Qingzhu finished his bowl of rice, there was very little food left on the table.

You should know that the dishes on this table were all served in large bowls. The portions were very large. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. No one was busy cleaning up, but sat down to take a breath and digest the food.

Grandma Zhang looked at this group of useless people. It was just that today's dishes were a little better. As for whether they were all full, Grandma Zhang loosened her belt and thought that the dishes cooked by the fourth daughter-in-law were really delicious, but they were too wasteful of oil and seasoning.

After a short break, everyone started to clean up the table. There was no rule in the Zhang family that men should not go into the kitchen, so after dinner everyone cleaned up together. Zhang Qingzhu wanted to help, but Grandma Zhang stopped him.

Grandma Zhang took Zhang Qingzhu's hand and walked into the room, then began to search the cabinet. She put some packed mountain products in the backpack she brought for Zhang Qingzhu, including dried dates, chestnuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms, etc.

These things were packed in cloth bags and put directly into the backpack. This was considered a return gift, not expensive but very practical. And the things that Grandma Zhang locked in her own cabinet were all selected top-quality items.

After the dining table outside was cleared, he called everyone in the yard into the house and distributed the things Zhang Qingzhu had brought out to everyone. Zhang Qingzhu received a lot of words of thanks.

Seeing that it was getting late, Grandma Zhang asked Zhang Qingsong to take Zhang Qingzhu home. She also asked Zhang Qingsong to stay at Zhang Qingzhu's house for the time being and come back after Zhang Qingzhu got used to the life in the village.

Zhang Qingsong had no objection to this task, and he went back to his room, took the set of bedding he brought from Shanghai, and put it in Zhang Qingzhu's backpack. He also packed two sets of clothes, as if he was ready to live there permanently.

Grandma Zhang originally wanted to let He Weihong and Zhang Qingsong go together to accompany Zhang Qingzhu, but after seeing He Weihong's attitude towards Zhang Qingzhu, she gave up the idea and let Zhang Song go alone instead.

Before Zhang Qingzhu came back, Grandma Zhang told Zhang Tiantian and Zhao Yanhong that she would let He Weihong and Zhang Qingsong accompany Zhang Qingzhu when he came back. But today, she noticed that He Weihong seemed to be a little unfriendly to Zhang Qingzhu, so she gave up the idea. It would be bad if she didn't make a fool of herself.

After returning today, Zhang Tiantian and Zhao Yanhong also communicated with their children. The result was that Zhang Qingsong was very happy, but He Weihong was very reluctant.

Zhang Tiantian was worrying about how to tell Grandma Zhang that He Weihong didn't want to go. Unexpectedly, Grandma Zhang changed her mind and let Zhang Qingsong go alone, and she felt relieved.

In fact, she secretly didn't want her daughter to accompany Zhang Qingzhu. Zhang Qingzhu was just a young lady from the city. If her daughter went to accompany her, she would have to wait on her. She didn't want her daughter to suffer that. I can only say, you think too much.

Zhang Tiantian regretted countless times in the days that followed that she had not persuaded her daughter to accompany Zhang Qingzhu. Even if her daughter had to do the work of serving others, it didn't matter. It didn't matter if everything was good enough to have a good future.

In this way, Zhang Qingsong happily went to Zhang Qingzhu's house with me. After Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Song left, Grandma Zhang kept the adults in the family to talk and let the younger generation go out to play.

After all the children had left, Grandma Zhang began to ask questions. "Third child, Xiaosong showed me something that Qingzhu gave him after he came back. She said it would be passed on to Xiaosong in the future. What do you think about this?"

"I misunderstood my elder brother. He had already prepared to pass it on to Xiaosong." Zhang Hong looked a little awkward when he replied. He felt that it was not good for him to misunderstand his elder brother.

Zhang Hong was making a fuss at first because he wondered why Zhang Bo passed on the Zhang family's ancestral heirloom to his daughter. In his mind, girls in the family can be loved, but when it comes to inheritance, it must be a boy.

When a girl gets married, she changes her surname. How can she inherit the family heritage? That's why he made a scene at that time. But now that the things are in Zhang Qingsong's hands, he has no objection.

After hearing Zhang Hong's reply, Grandma Zhang nodded in satisfaction, fearing that Zhang Hong would make a scene without knowing the seriousness of the situation. That would not look good and would also affect the relationship between the brothers.

Now that Zhang Hong has figured it out, she doesn't have to worry too much. After confirming this, Grandma Zhang started talking about other things.

"Third brother, do you know what Qingzhu's plan is for this time? When Xiaosong called back, he just said that Qingzhu was coming back to live permanently. Fourth brother came back and said that Qingzhu was coming back to work in the village. What is going on? Everyone says something different."

Zhang Hong thought about what happened today and said, "Qingzhu's uncle said he would arrange a job for her in the village so that she doesn't have to work on the farm. I don't know the details."

As soon as Zhang Hong said this, Zhang Xue suddenly thought of the notice he received from above a few days ago. The general meaning was that a group of troops would come to their village and asked their villagers to cooperate with them and provide logistical support.

This was also the reason why he did not go to Shanghai in person. Because he did not know when the garrison would need help from their village, he had to ensure that he was always there to assist in the village.

Then she thought again, this should have nothing to do with Zhang Qingzhu. After all, Zhang Qingzhu didn't join the army, so the army's affairs should have nothing to do with her. Her uncle and his men were doctors, not soldiers.

The others were all looking at Zhang Xue, wondering if it was Zhang Qingzhu's uncle who called him and asked him to arrange a job for Zhang Qingzhu that didn't require working in the fields.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at him, leaving Zhang Xue puzzled. He asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Didn't you arrange the work in the village? Didn't Master Qingzhu contact you?" Zhang Tiantian asked.

"I think you misunderstood, elder sister. Qingzhu's uncle arranged a job for her with salary. Is there such a job in the village?" Zhang Meimei had some opinions about her elder sister because of He Weihong's ignorance. Her tone of voice was a little weird.

Don't barefoot doctors in the village get paid?" Zhang Tiantian retorted subconsciously. After He Weihong graduated from high school this year, Zhang Tiantian went to Zhang Xue and wanted him to arrange a light job for his daughter.

Zhang Xue refused, and she was a little unhappy at the time. Now when she heard that Zhang Qingzhu didn't have to work in the fields after returning to the village, she subconsciously thought that it was arranged by Zhang Xue, and she felt a little unbalanced.
