Chapter 81 Bad News
When they got home, everyone started to worry about how to sleep.
Zhang Nianzu's house is a two-bedroom apartment of a little over 90 square meters. Because there is a girl, there is only , and there is no way four men can sleep together.
The core issue here is that Li Changgui believes that Zhang Nianzu and Lei Tingting are not married, so they must sleep separately...
Zhang Nianzu wanted to speak several times, but Lei Tingting stopped him with a red face.
Finally, Li Changgui decided to take Li Asi to the auto repair shop and let Li Asan work on the sofa to ensure the safety of his grandfather.
Li Asan put on the big pants he bought during the day, leaned on the sofa and said, "Brother Nianzu, sister-in-law , you guys go to sleep. I sleep lightly and will wake up at the slightest disturbance, so you can rest assured. You will be absolutely safe with me around."
Zhang Nianzu had no doubt about this. With such a person there, even if a small army attacked, he could deal with it quietly for you.
Zhang Nianzu and Lei Tingting stood in front of the doors of the two bedrooms respectively, said good night to each other reluctantly, and then went into their rooms.
After turning off the lights, Zhang Nianzu couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a soft "dong" sound from the other side of the wall. The two bedrooms were separated by only this wall. It seemed that Lei Tingting couldn't sleep either, and accidentally hit her head against the wall - one could even imagine her posture at the moment: she had her hands behind her head and was thinking about something, so she made this sound.
Zhang Nianzu was in a playful mood and tapped the wall with his hands. Soon, two dong dong sounds came from Lei Tingting's side. Zhang Nianzu smiled and then tapped a few times in a rhythmic manner. The other side also responded with dong dong. This is how couples in love are. They can enjoy playing even the most boring games.
I don’t know how long I played. Just as Zhang Nianzu was about to take another photo, there was a restrained knock on the door. Zhang Nianzu asked in surprise, “Who?”
Li Asan said timidly, "Brother Nianzu, my sister-in-law is not sleeping well, why don't you go check on her..."
"Why are you not at ease?"
Li Asan said: "I've seen people talking in their sleep and gritting their teeth, but I've never seen anyone banging their head against the wall. It would be bad if he keeps banging his head like Li Erhu..." It turns out that he is a very light sleeper and his hearing is comparable to that of a scout.
Zhang Nianzu was just wondering how to answer when he heard Lei Tingting pretending to talk in her sleep: "Well... I just had a nightmare. It was so scary."
The two dared not make any sound and remained silent all night.
The next morning, Li Changgui and Li Asi bought breakfast and came up. Today, Zhang Nianzu was going to the address left by Xu Yingdong to look for someone, and Li Changgui and the others also wanted to go with him.
"We are just looking for a tribe member. We don't need so many people. Let Asan accompany us." Zhang Nianzu knew that Li Changgui would definitely not agree if he didn't bring anyone with him.
Li Changgui thought for a moment and solemnly instructed Ah San, "Protect your brother Nian Zu well and be ready to fight at any time!"
Ah San nodded vigorously: "I know."
…
In this way, Zhang Nianzu set off with Lei Tingting and Li Asan, who was ready to fight at any time.
On the way, Li Asan asked Lei Tingting: "Auntie, is your head okay?"
Lei Tingting smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you for your concern. Sister-in-law will buy you something delicious later."
Ah San said, "I'm not a child anymore. I think you should buy some medicine."
Lei Tingting blushed and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ah San said seriously: "Buy some sleeping pills and you won't have nightmares."
Lei Tingting: “…”
Zhang Nianzu gave her a gloating look.
The address Xu Yingdong gave was an old residential area. Although it was a walk-up apartment, the community was shaded by green trees and had complete facilities. People who bought houses here in the early years had good financial conditions.
Zhang Nianzu said, "It seems that our people are doing well." The three of them got out of the car, found the right unit number, went upstairs and knocked on the door. After a long time, there was no response. At this time, an old man from the neighbor's house opened the door and stuck his head out to ask, "Who are you looking for?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "Let's look for Fang Ping."
The old man immediately showed a strange look and asked: "Are you his friends?"
"Yes, we haven't been in touch for some time."
"No wonder then..." the old man said, "Fang Ping passed away at the beginning of the year."
Zhang Nianzu was shocked and asked, "Gone?"
"Yes, he is so young, only about 40 years old..." The old man sighed, "It's a pity that the child is still so young." Then he was about to close the door.
Zhang Nianzu hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute, sir. Are you saying Fang Ping has a child?"
"Well, he's just in the third grade. This kid has a miserable life. He lost his mom when he was born, and now his dad is dead too."
Zhang Nianzu asked: "What is this child's name and where is he now?"
Li Asan asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
The old man paused and said, "Wait a minute." Then he closed the door.
Zhang Nianzu and Lei Tingting looked at each other in silence, both with expressions of disbelief.
After a while, the old man handed over a note and said, "Go find this person. After Fang Ping passed away, his son Fang Xiaoliang was adopted by this person."
Zhang Nianzu took it and looked at it. There was beautiful handwriting on the note: the man's name was Zhang Shuxin.
The old man continued, "This Zhang seems to be well-off and a very kind person. When he took the child away, he gave me this address and told me to contact him if I need anything."
Zhang Nianzu asked, "Did Fang Ping die at the age of 45?"
The old man calculated and said, "That's right."
The three of them thanked him, and Zhang Nianzu returned to the car in silence. He suddenly said in frustration: "Third grade... the same age as a jelly bean, only 10 years old."
Lei Tingting said carefully: "That is to say, Fang Ping had a child at the age of 35, which is not too late for ordinary people."
Zhang Nianzu sighed deeply and said, "The 45-year-old age is a bit of a trap." He suddenly realized that 45 was a very awkward age. Men at this age often have elderly parents and young children. Even if they are not old, the children need their fathers. Not to mention himself, Lao Jiang, Xu Yingdong, Asan and Asi all seem to have grown up in a state of lack of fatherly love. It would be better if they got married early, but in Fang Ping's case, it would be a huge disaster for a 10-year-old child.
Lei Tingting said: "A 10-year-old child probably doesn't know anything yet. Should we go look for him? I'm afraid... it will remind him of his sad memories."
Li Asan said: "Since it's a boy, he is one of our tribesmen. Of course we have to go find him."
Zhang Nianzu glanced at him and said, "What can you do if you find it?"
Li Asan scratched his head and said, "It seems that there is nothing we can do, but what if he is not doing well?"
Zhang Nianzu put his hands on the steering wheel, frowned and hesitated for a long time before saying: "How about this, let's go and see Fang Xiaoliang. If he is doing well, we should not disturb his life."
Lei Tingting said: "I agree."
Zhang Nianzu set out on the road again, but this time all three of them fell silent, with no more laughter.
