"What?" When Zhang's mother learned that Zhang Yuan, who had just returned, had already bought a house and settled in the county, she couldn't believe her ears. Although Zhang Yuan had said so before. She also agreed. But she never expected Zhang Yuan to act so quickly! Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get the money?" Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Yesterday I picked a rock ginseng in the mountains, and this morning I took it to the county medicine store and sold it for more than 100 taels." He didn't tell his mother about this, and he was holding back to give her a big surprise. Zhang's mother was happy and angry: "You kid!" Buying a house and settling in such a big thing, Zhang Yuan actually completed it secretly by himself.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch her son's face: "Yuan'er, you really grew up!" Originally, Zhang's mother called Zhang Yuan "Yuan Wa'er", but now the word "Wa" is missing, and the meaning is self-evident. "Of course." Zhang Yuan said proudly: "Mom, you can enjoy happiness with your son in the county town in the future!" Mother Zhang smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and gently pushed him: "Go and burn incense for your father, let him always bless you to be safe and sound." "Yes." Zhang Yuan went to burn incense for Zhang's father as he said. The Zhang family is an outsider, and after the death of a family member, the tablet cannot be placed in the ancestral hall of Chenjia Village. So it can only be worshipped at home. In fact, Zhang Yuan has no impression of his deceased father, after all, the latter died too early. He lived in a daze before he was ten years old, until he slowly awakened the memory of his previous life, and the gears of fate began to turn! In the evening, Zhang Yuan boiled another pot of medicine and took a medicinal bath for himself. [Host: Zhang Yuan] [Realm: First Order (Ming Jin)] [God's Nest: Level 1 (30%)] [Parent: Level 2 Black Giant Ant (18%)/4 times Strength] [Parent: Level 1 Jade Mantis (38%)/Primary Sword Skills Mastery] [Qi and Blood: 106/106] [Source Essence: 0]
He has already fed all the source essence obtained from the previous sacrifice to the Jade Mantis, raising the latter's evolution to nearly 40% now. But Zhang Yuan still feels a little slow. And if he wants to speed up the upgrade of the second host, he needs to invest more source essence. Source essence! Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed his inner restlessness. After changing his clothes, he quietly came to the small courtyard outside and began to practice the Rock Pillar Technique to consume the excessive Qi and Blood. Whether it is soaking in the medicinal bath or practicing this basic technique, it can increase the upper limit of Qi and Blood. Although the effect is not as good as the first time, the water dripping through the stone will eventually wear away the stone. The daily accumulation of little by little will inevitably usher in the time when the quantitative change will change to qualitative change! Zhang Yuan calmed down and immersed himself in the practice. Sweat soaked his clothes and dripped on the ground. The night was long, and another day passed. The next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Yuan carried the prepared luggage and took Zhang's mother and Da Hu to the county town. He felt that Chenjia Village had the tendency to become a place of right and wrong, so he borrowed high interest to buy a house and settle down. Now that he has settled down in the city, of course he has to leave early to avoid any accidents. In fact, Zhang's mother was somewhat reluctant. After all, she has lived in Chenjia Village for nearly 20 years, and she is familiar with the neighbors. The county town is unfamiliar. On the way, they met several villagers who were going to work in the fields. Everyone couldn't help but feel curious about Zhang Yuan and his mother who were carrying large and small bags. Someone asked, "Sister-in-law Zhang, where are you going?" Mother Zhang smiled and said, "My children and I are going to visit relatives. We may have to stay in other places for a while before coming back." Zhang Yuan told her not to tell anyone about buying a house and settling in the city. There has never been a village with truly simple folk customs. Even if most people are good, there are still a few narrow-minded and jealous people. Now Chenjia Village is in a turbulent time, and there is no need to publicize it! The villagers suddenly realized: "So that's it." Although I haven't seen Mother Zhang go to other places to visit relatives in the past ten years. The problem is that visiting relatives is a very normal thing, and it is not worth making a fuss about. After saying goodbye to the villagers, Zhang Yuan and Mother Zhang continued to move forward, gradually leaving the mountain village behind. After leaving the rugged mountain road, Zhang Yuan asked his panting mother to rest on the side of the road.
After waiting for half an hour, a passing ox cart heading to the county town was seen. He talked to the uncle driving the cart, then paid five copper coins and took the ox cart to the county town. It was noon when they arrived at the fish-selling lane. When Zhang Yuan unlocked the door with the key, he took his mother into the new home. Zhang's mother was shocked: "Such a good house!" In fact, this small house is very ordinary in the county town, and it can't be compared with the residences of wealthy families. But compared with the mud house and thatched house in Chenjia Village, it is a completely different world! Zhang's mother was surprised and happy, and she walked around the main house, wing rooms, guest rooms and kitchen inside and out. She was so happy that the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes stretched out, as if she was several years younger. Zhang's mother was not very old to begin with. Recently, she had eaten well and drank tonic medicine. Her severely depleted body has recovered a little, and the situation has improved greatly. Now it can only be better. Looking at his mother's happy look, Zhang Yuan also felt heartfelt joy. All his hard work is worth it! The mother and son worked together to clean the courtyard and several rooms. Let the house look brand new. Dahu secretly urinated in the corner while the two were busy, and then ran around excitedly. It doesn't care whether it lives in a broken house or a new house. As long as it can be with a master like Zhang Yuan, it is a paradise of happiness. Since the original owner left a lot of furniture, Zhang Yuan did not go to buy more. He also brought pots and pans, rice, oil, salt, sauce, bacon and other daily necessities and food. As night fell, the kitchen stove was lit, and soon the aroma of rice and steamed meat wafted. It made Dahu, who was lying in the yard, drool. Although Zhang Yuan and his mother's first meal in their new home in the county was simple, it was particularly warm and satisfying! Even Dahu got a big pot of bacon and rice. "I never dared to imagine such a life before!" Mother Zhang was very emotional and suddenly said: "Yuan'er, now you have a house in the county and you have settled down. It's time to find a suitable marriage for you." "When you get married and have a child, then mother will be really relieved!" Zhang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I am still young now, let's talk about this later."
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will marry you 18 beautiful wives and give you 80 grandchildren. Let them greet you every day and call you grandma!" Mother Zhang said angrily: "Nonsense!" But if her son can really marry so many wives and have so many children to enjoy his happiness... It would be beautiful!
