853: C853 An Old Man

C853 An Old Man

The three of them quickly made their way to the scholar's house. Previously, Zhang Yan had mentioned that the scholar's house was divided into the front room and the back room. For youngsters like Qian Bin and Zhou Zhuo, just listening to them was enough to confuse them; they had never heard of it before.

But now that they saw the real thing, they finally understood what the front room was like, and what the back room was like. It turned out that the front room was used by the scholars to sell some things, just like a shop.

The back room was the scholar's own house, but no one would be able to get in because the door from the front room to the back was locked. The scholar was in the front room during the day.

The three of them walked into the scholar's house and were completely stunned. Just as Zhang Yan had said, the scholar's front room had a total of three rooms with a bathroom, and all three rooms were connected.

Moreover, every room was filled with many small toys, either wood or bamboo. Some were even ceramic, and they all looked very adorable. Even the eyes of the two men, Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin, sparkled brightly.

"How is it? Is it like I said?" Zhang Yan had gone off just now and suddenly scuttled over to Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin's side. Look at how much I've bought. "

Zhou Zhuo saw that Zhang Yan was holding four or five things in a small bamboo basket, "The things here are really nice to look at, every year I would come over to buy some." What do you think? "You can leave it here with me. We can settle the bill together later."

In fact, Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin were still in the observation stage, so they didn't expect Zhang Yan to make a move so quickly. "Why did you buy so many in one go?" "You don't even want to look at it anymore?"

Zhang Yan hugged the little bamboo basket in her arms, smiled and said, "There are a few here that I picked up last year but didn't buy. I've seen these new products of his before in my cousin's circle of friends."

With that, Zhang Yan covered the things in the little bamboo basket like she was protecting a child. He looked like a child.

"Little Zhang, I couldn't tell that you're still a child." Qian Bin smiled at Zhang Yan and said, "Oh right, why don't you help me check which one you want to give to Brother Zhou's daughter?"

Zhang Yan looked at the two small items in Qian Bin's hands. It was difficult for her to answer, "These two small items are very cute, why don't you buy them both? The books here aren't expensive anyways, they're pretty much all cost a lot."

"Both?" Qian Bin frowned and looked at the price again. It wasn't that expensive. It was just a few dozen yuan worth item. "Alright, let's buy it together."

"Buying one is enough, even a child can't spoil her. Besides, you can't just buy one from me, you can't just keep on making you spend money, can you?" Zhou Zhuo took a small piece from Qian Bin's hand and said, "Let me pay for this."

Since Zhou Zhuo said he would give them the money, Qian Bin did not refuse. Thus, the two of them prepared to go settle the bill.

However, before he could reach the checkout point, Zhou Zhuo suddenly saw an old man in his fifties sitting not too far away. But there was a distinct scar on the man's face.

"Wait a moment." Zhou Zhuo stopped Qian Bin who was walking forward.

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?" Qian Bin did not know why Zhou Zhuo wanted to stop him.

Zhou Zhuo pointed at the old man not far in front of them. "Do you feel that this old man looks familiar?"

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?" "Just as Zhou Zhuo finished speaking, Zhang Yan came over. She thought Zhou Zhuo saw something." Have you taken a fancy to something? "

Zhang Yan blocked for a while, and when Zhou Zhuo looked over again, the old man was already gone. "Eh, where did you go?"

"Brother Zhou, what are you looking for?" Only now did Zhang Yan realize that Zhou Zhuo wasn't looking for some small fry, but someone else. However, when Zhang Yan turned around to look, there wasn't anyone around.

The two of them did not even know the people in this village, so they shouldn't have met such a mature person. Just as Zhang Yan was about to inquire further, a person suddenly appeared behind her.

"I thought it was you."

Zhang Yan looked over and saw that it was her cousin. "Cousin, you're back too."

When family met each other, they were always especially friendly. Zhang Yan pulled her cousin along as she excitedly jumped up, the smile on her face unable to be suppressed.

"I came back yesterday. What about you? "Why didn't you tell me when you came back? I came to look for you."

Seeing her cousin's question, Zhang Yan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I came back with a friend today. So I didn't tell you. "

"Friends?" Upon hearing Zhang Yan mention her friend, her cousin immediately lowered her voice, leaned against Zhang Yan and asked, "Boyfriend?"

"Nope." Zhang Yan's face immediately turned red, "The two generals from the Northwest Army Region, they came here to do some work, so I brought them here to celebrate the New Year together."

"Wow, big brother soldier, where are you?"0

Following Zhang Yan's finger to Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin, Zhang Yan's cousin immediately jumped in front of them. With a smile, she extended her hand. "Hello, my name is Yan Min."

Qian Bin quickly extended his hand as well. "Hello, my name is Qian Bin. His name is Zhou Zhuo."

"Welcome to the Yan Village. We have so many good places here, do you want to take me on a tour? " Yan Min said happily.

"Oh, there's no need for that. We've already turned around. We need to go back and rest."

In reality, Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin usually didn't casually communicate with others. After all, the two boys were a bit shy. As for why they were so close with Little Zhang, it was because they had asked for help in the Household Registration Section, and had met her a few times since.

Even if they didn't know each other, it would be hard. However, for Yan Min, who had just met her for the first time, it was better for the two of them to stay far away.

"You two handsome brothers, it's rare for you to come here, but you can't leave such a treasure trove. Our first day here has Keating ceremony, it's going to be very lively." When the time comes, let Yanzi bring you guys to see it. I'll be going back first. If you need anything, you can come find me. "

Faced with such an enthusiastic invitation from a girl, both Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin expressed their unwillingness to go through with it. Yan Min was not a nagging woman, so after hearing their rejection, she smiled and left.

Zhang Yan had already explained it to them before the Keating Ceremony, and Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin had a rough understanding of it. However, this Keating Ceremony was related to the selection of the village head, so it didn't seem like a good idea for the two of them to go.
