Reborn Petty Citizen

Zhang's mother and Zhang Su have been waiting with Zhang Ti for a long time, Mr. Zhang's behavior can be heard from Zhang Su's usual speech, he is not a talkative temper, this time he proposed to let Zhang's mother take the child with him Having a meal at home, as Zhang Su's friend, Zhang's mother also just wanted to earn as much face as possible for Zhang Su in the Zhang family.

Zhang Ze's suit was specially chosen by Zhang's mother for him. The effect after wearing it can only be described as stunning. The delicate waistline pinches out the appropriate tightness. The white shirt is not as stiff as the traditional white. From the beginning of the fabric, we chose to innovate, weaving a small part of silk with luster, so that the clothes are not only soft but also have a natural warm beige that is different from cotton and satin.The ingenious design of the collar and back hem, which is different from traditional shirts, makes the clothes more playful and fresh. With the unusually low neckline, the exposed fair skin makes Zhang Ze's small face look even smaller.

Pants are just slacks, but it also took a lot of thought, but Zhang Ze originally had perfect legs, and the special tailoring of the trousers was useless. However, this most ordinary youth attire made Zhang Ze look a little more A long-lost youthfulness.

The youthfulness in Zhang Ze has been gradually worn away in the hectic life. His parents are divorced, and the family business, studies and contacts are busy. Zhang Ze tries his best to let his inflexible mind digest these problems that should not belong to him. Forced him to mature.Coupled with the excellent appearance and Zhang's mother's packaging, Zhang Ze's dull nature has been forgotten for a long time, but occasionally Du Xingzhi can see from his words and deeds that he is as innocent as when he first met, and at this moment, The plainest of attire easily strips away that camouflage.

He's kept his cropped cut, sticking to his tune like a timeless old song in an age of flower boys.To those who don't know, this is a special personality, but only Du Xingzhi knows that he is just afraid of change.The clean short hair has no extra color, and the natural jet black is in sharp contrast with the plain clothes. His jade-colored skin has a moderate transitional effect, but it also makes his jet-black pupils and bright red moles appear more distinct .Even if such a Zhang Ze just stood there quietly, no one would ignore his existence.Different from Zhang Ze's nature, his demeanor is gentle and strong, gentle in that he never makes people feel any attack power, strong in that, no matter you pay attention to him or not, this kind of gentle feeling will always be in you Invade your heart when you are unsuspecting.

Zhang Su opened her mouth slightly and watched the two children coming down the stairs side by side. The mature and stable Du Xingzhi and the fresh and fresh Zhang Ze felt like a strange feeling in her heart. There is an atmosphere where no one else can get in.However, Zhang Su felt that his thoughts were abrupt and weird when he saw the distance between their shoulders and the fist-width that they deliberately kept between their actions.

She didn't think deeply, and hurriedly pulled the children into the car, and the time for dinner was getting closer, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The stiff relationship with their father is actually not surprising. The children of the Zhang family are not very dependent on their father. Perhaps it is the elite education they have received day after day since they can remember. The Zhang family does not value family affection very much. Except for the children under her knees, she looks down on the relationship between parents and siblings. Of course, Zhang Su, who knows how to cherish after losing and recovering, is an exception.

In fact, most of my fathers at that time were similar. Zhang Su still remembers that when he was young, his father had not yet taken this position. child's voice.None of Zhang Su's friends survived the disaster, and one of them, Pihou, had a bad record of being broken with six pokers.This is the limitation of the times. High-quality parents will inevitably educate their children with sticks, but the side effects will not be weakened a little because it is a mistake of the times.

But now, Zhang Su understands the importance of family members, but still can't suppress the deep-rooted fear of his father.To her, her father was more a superior than a family member.Even if the reason why she took Zhang mother to Zhang's house today was the invitation from the old man himself.

The car drove into the compound with a nervous mood, and Zhang's mother stared at the guards like javelins outside the car window for a long time like a countryman entering the city. loose.

Zhang Su's mother's hair has turned gray, and her figure has become slightly fatter, and she is not as tall as she was when she was young.However, she has a taste of wisdom that has been weathered for a long time. Wisdom penetrates into the hearts of those who are watching through the thin lenses of the glasses on the bridge of her nose. The smell of time.

A woman who has dedicated her life to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and participated in major and small crises in the motherland is clearly different from ordinary old people even in her old age.

Zhang's mother has a carefree temperament, she is polite but not sticking to those small details that are not necessary. After getting off the car, she greeted the old man warmly and presented her own gift.

The old lady happily took the gift out of the bag, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.This is a silk scarf cut and made by Zhang's mother. The background color is the most stable and intellectual silver gray after several experiments, and a bluegrass is embroidered on the silk scarf without any pattern.Her current embroidery work is hard to come by, and only P·D can invite her out of the mountain in the quarterly member customization activities, not to mention that this silk scarf is from her hands from cutting to trimming.The old man usually likes orchids, and now he stroked the orchids on the silk scarf and praised: "This is a rare and good thing, and it is rare now."

Don't use the price to infer the value of a thing. In the position of an old lady, no matter how much a gift is, it is difficult to move her.What she wanted was novelty and what she liked. The embroidery on the silk scarf was more vivid and clear than anything she had seen before. With this spirituality alone, she probably couldn't find one with gold outside.

She immediately put on the silk scarf, warmly took Zhang's mother's hand and exchanged a few pleasantries, and couldn't help showing a moment of amazement when she saw Zhang Ze in a blink of an eye.

The people waiting in the house first heard the long-lost laughter from their dignified and steady old lady. The laughter ranged from far to near, and people could clearly distinguish the joy in it.

The daughters and sons-in-law of the Zhang family were quite surprised.

My mother is very particular about words and deeds. She never tolerated herself wandering around the house in her pajamas. After retirement, she had to wear light makeup when meeting guests, and she had to straighten her back when she was alone at home reading books and watching TV. Such wanton laughter The number of times it appears on the old lady's body is simply one of a handful.

Zhang Qiao and Zhang Zhen swept away the previous indifference, and they looked at each other, and both found the lingering worry in the other's eyes.

Zhang Zhen couldn't help being confused. She had inquired about the information of Zhang Ze's family early in the morning: she was born in a rural area, divorced and single with two children. What kind of shit luck started to do business with Zhang Su, although she is a woman, but in the circle of businessmen who have been in contact with in Beijing, Zhang's mother's talent and her boldness are very impressive.

Zhang Zhen could basically guess what kind of person this would be from these descriptions.He was born in a rural area with no culture, and probably has tanned and rough skin. He speaks loudly and doesn't know how to restrain himself. He moves with "heroic" gestures, and may even say a few dirty words.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Qiao disdain Zhang Su's association with such a person, but at this moment, they don't understand what the visitor did to make their mother laugh like this.

The old lady came in quickly, with a silk scarf around her neck, and her steady selection of colors easily made the already intellectual old man even more outstanding.The old man walked a few steps first, his cloudy eyes were bent, and he said to his daughter, son-in-law and husband in the house: "The guests are here!"

Zhang Zhen's gaze immediately swept over, and immediately froze for a moment.

Standing beside Zhang Su was a woman of about the same height as hers, thin, with the fashionable corkscrew perm and wearing a fashionable light-colored beret.She was wearing a white ankle-length skirt, which was tailored so that she looked like a model walking on the catwalk. Contrary to what they had guessed, the person's skin was not dark at all, but a healthy one. He was pale, with a ruddy complexion and full of vigor. He was obviously about the same age as them, but he carried a vitality and health rarely seen in middle-aged women.

And there are two young people standing behind her. The girl's standing manner shows that she has received a good education, her smile is just right, she is polite but not out of proportion. Although her clothes are not as fashionable as her mother's, she does not have a girl's unique pride. .The remaining boy was the source of their dullness.

They were regular customers of this brand before they learned that P·D belonged to their eldest sister. At this moment, they naturally and easily recognized Zhang Ze. His outstanding appearance and gentle temperament are so amazing, they always thought he was studying abroad. A model from an upper-class family in the past is actually the child of a rural woman!

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Qiao stood up involuntarily, and when they met Zhang Ze's gaze, they couldn't help frowning deeply in their hearts.

Zhang Dexuan got a handkerchief with the word "Shou" embroidered with majestic characters. He also couldn't put it down, and he immediately replaced the luxury handkerchief that his eldest son-in-law gave him, which was said to be brought back from Europe. Unlike the temperament and demeanor that ordinary people can cultivate, he praised Zhang Ze's family for a seat with the same enthusiasm as his old wife.

Du Xingzhi secretly squeezed Zhang Ze's palm under the table. Zhang Ze glanced at him with doubts, but only got a thoughtful smile.

Zhang Ze was relieved that the meeting scene he had imagined did not appear, and he was even more fond of this kind grandfather who was completely different from Du Xingzhi's description.

Zhang Dexuan is getting old, and the grandchildren in the family have been spoiled by their parents since they were young. They are willful, willful and rebellious. The more I yearn for the scene when the grandfather in a normal family is surrounded by cute grandchildren.

This made him like Zhang Ze from the bottom of his heart when he saw Zhang Ze.There are all kinds of talents in the Zhang family, treacherous, cunning, precocious, middle school two, but no one has ever been as gentle as Zhang Ze!It is becoming more and more difficult to find this kind of child who has a good temper at first glance. After talking to Zhang Ze a few words, he found that what he saw was not a false appearance, and the kindness in Zhang Dexuan's heart almost overflowed immediately.He took the initiative to pull Zhang Ze to introduce what dishes are delicious and what soup is good to drink, drove Du Xingzhi away, pulled Zhang Ze to sit beside him, and gave him some food, squinting his eyes and smiling, seeing Zhang Ze eating, he called his family The back molars of the children are almost crushed.

Zhang Qiao just wanted to curse.My son has grown so big, except for being hugged by the old man a few times before he can talk, he doesn't have much intention of being close to him from now on.When he grew up and entered puberty, fighting the old man was like an enemy in a chicken shed.Their children have lived to this age, except for the eldest grandson of the elders, they rarely see the old man showing such an expression.Treating his own grandson like an enemy, and caring for an outsider in every possible way, did the old man take the wrong medicine!

People's hearts are made of flesh, Zhang Ze was treated so courteously, and naturally he reciprocated.His own grandpa passed away when he was very young, even if there was such a grandma making trouble before his death, there were only a handful of things his parents could tell about their past with his grandpa.Mr. Zhang's kindness is unique to Zhang Ze, and it comes from the love of the elders of the past generation.

Du Xingzhi was happy to see the results, he wished that Zhang Ze could get along with his family.However, the rest of the family may not have the same idea as him.Du Xingzhi's aunt Zhang Qiao felt a little restless when she saw this scene.She can bear Zhang Su's step past her at home, after all, no matter how emotionless she is, she is also her own sister.Du Xingzhi is the same way, this is her nephew after all.But Zhang Ze could make the old man look so favored the first time they met, she couldn't sit still.

He knows the old man, and he is especially generous to the people he likes. She once saw the old man give a jadeite jade Buddha sculpture in her collection to a chess player who only met a few times. The value of the jade Buddha At present, the price would be 30 million yuan, but the old man didn't feel distressed at all.On the contrary, these children can only watch outsiders get rich. Usually, the old man treats them indifferently, but he is definitely not as generous to outsiders who have his eyes on them!

What are the sons and daughters fighting for?Isn't it just for that?If there is nothing left of the family property before they decide the winner, what's the point of dawdling around at home like this?

She kept looking at the watch on her wrist, feeling that the time passed too slowly, and finally the pointer pointed to six o'clock. She heard a faint sound of an engine coming from outside the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Frivolous footsteps sounded, and the door was knocked. Mama Wang carefully crossed the restaurant to open the door, and immediately called out the identity of the person in surprise and joy: "Mr. Wu Xiao is back!"

This greeting attracted all the eyes on the table, and the old man's hand holding the food also paused. He put down the wine glass in the other hand and propped it on the table to stand up. He glanced towards the direction of the door and asked loudly: "Who's back?"

"Grandpa!" The voice of the visitor was very young, with a hoarse magnetism, and he kept his frivolous steps across the hallway to reveal his true face, which made old man Zhang's heart skip a beat: "Damn boy..."

Wu Wangpeng raised the corners of his lips.He has fair skin, clear eyes, and wears a pair of tortoiseshell glasses. The square frame of the frame gives people a sense of righteousness, and his temperament tends to be a gentle senior who will attract the attention of girls on campus.However, his posture of tilting his head and putting his hands in his pockets completely destroyed this gentle temperament, and the slight smile at the corner of his lips also gave him a little more sinister aura.The car key chain was twirling in the hand that was not in his pocket, and he casually threw it on the treasure shelf.

"There are guests," he restrained himself a little after seeing a stranger at home, and his eyes flicked across the faces of the people in the room, and when they fell on Zhang Ze, he paused for a second, and then saw Zhang Su, he was surprised He shouted, "Isn't this auntie!? You're back in Beijing!"

Zhang Su naturally guessed who he was.Mother Wang called him Mr. Wu Xiao, which proved that he must be the back of the Zhang family's children. Who else could have the surname Wu?Only Zhang Qiao's husband, Wu Daqiu, has made it.

She has heard the child's name before. Zhang Su lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and immediately stood up with a smile: "You are Pengpeng, right? Auntie has never seen you when she was a child, and you are so old. Come here and let me know." Let me see."

Wu Wangpeng was not unfamiliar at all, he walked up to Zhang Su and stood next to Zhang Su with a smile on his face. When Zhang Su held hands and spoke, his eyes glanced at Du Xingzhi, and then at Zhang Ze.

Du Xingzhi's head buzzed.The first time he saw Wu Wangpeng, he suddenly felt an unprecedented emotion rising in his heart. This emotion collided violently in his chest, and his blood boiled.This emotion is by no means benevolent, but a kind of vigilance and disgust of unknown origin.

Du Xingzhi even had an absurd idea, maybe he and this gentle young man who smiled evilly had been unstoppable rivals in his previous life.

After meeting Wu Wangpeng and Zhang Su, he got a thick red envelope. Zhang Su introduced Zhang Ze's family to him. , stretched out a hand: "I have seen your poster, and I have admired it for a long time."

Although Zhang Ze is different from his previous life, it is still rare to be praised face to face like this, and his affection for the other party suddenly increased in his heart, and he stretched out his hand: "Thank you for the award, but it's just a casual pat."

Wu Wangpeng held Zhang Ze's hand and squeezed it, some inexplicable emotion appeared in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was more gentle than before.

Du Xingzhi on the side was beeping in his heart, and the churning hostility turned into substance and almost burst out. His temples were throbbing, and he tried his best to keep the expression on his face unchanged, but his fists were tightly clenched into iron fists by his side. I can't wait to punch this disgusting guy in front of me.

Wu Wangpeng's act of holding Zhang Ze's hand and refusing to let go made Zhang Su feel uncomfortable very quickly. She quickly smiled and relieved Zhang Ze, pointing to Du Xingzhi and introducing: "Pengpeng, this is your...cousin , Du Xingzhi, he is 22 this year, so he should be your cousin, right?"

Wu Wangpeng came back to his senses, and soon realized his gaffe, let go of Zhang Ze's hand calmly, while secretly stroking the hard calluses and thick joints that he had just touched in his palm, and glanced at Du Xingzhi with a smile on his face. The frivolity hidden above: "Then I should be older than him, I'm 23 this year."

Zhang Qiao also said: "Pengpeng was born in the Year of the Snake, four months older than Xingzhi, and I gave birth to him earlier than my eldest sister's birth." Zhang Qiao got married early and fell in love with Wu Dachou in college. Zhang Su, who had settled down in Huaixing for several years before giving birth to her son, went much smoother.

Du Xingzhi's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be a pool of waves brewing in his eyes, but there was no clue on the surface: "Hello, cousin."

When Wu Wangpeng looked at him, an inexplicable anxiety arose in his heart. This emotion came suddenly, and he couldn't think of any other possibility except that he was born to dislike Du Xingzhi.However, Wu Wangpeng knew the basics of pretending. He would not easily act too out of place in front of the old man. Judging from the arrangement of the seats, this cousin and aunt who had never met since childhood seemed to be valued by the old man.

After shaking hands with Du Xingzhi, he naturally didn't make such a naive move as a contest of palm strength.

It's just that in the hearts of the two of them, it was inevitable that they left quite a deep impression when they met for the first time.

To Zhang Ze, this meal was not complicated at all. He had heard the name Wu Wangpeng several times in his previous life, and he seemed to be in a business partnership with Du Xingzhi.He didn't expect it to be Du Xingzhi's cousin. This relationship surprised him for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

He was fiddling with a silver dollar book that the old man gave him at night. In the small book, a lot of silver dollars from the Republic of China were placed in a transparent compartment. Some of the silver dollars even had blurred patterns on the surface. It has an old-fashioned atmosphere endowed by the times.It is difficult to estimate the value of this silver dollar book with money. Zhang Ze can probably guess from Zhang Su's words and the expressions of Du Xingzhi's two aunts that the value of this book is not low. Happy.

When Du Xingzhi pushed open the door, Zhang Ze was wiping the cover of the silver dollar book with a soft glasses cloth for the third time.He fiddled with his wet hair for a moment, and when he closed the door, he found that Zhang Ze was still wiping the cover intently, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

This booklet is indeed not cheap. If you want to buy it in the market now, it is absolutely impossible to get it without [-] to [-] yuan.But [-] to [-] yuan is not considered a lot of money to Zhang Ze, why is he so rare?

Zhang Ze wiped the booklet, carefully blew off the dust and placed it on the top of the locker. He took two steps back to appreciate it for a while before smiling contentedly.

Seeing Du Xingzhi, he greeted casually: "Did you wash?"

Du Xingzhi maintained his dejected look and approached the other party. After hugging Zhang Ze's waist, he took a deep breath of Zhang Ze's familiar and fresh scent, and sighed.The scene of Wu Wangpeng holding Zhang Ze's hand and refusing to let go when he was in Zhang's house was replaying in his mind, and Du Xingzhi's vigilance became more and more high.The person in his arms was so simple-minded that it was difficult for him to convince himself to let the other party face someone who might have bad intentions.

He thought for a while, and said softly, "Today at the Zhang family, the Wu Wangpeng you saw..."

Zhang Ze was taken aback: "Huh? What happened to him?"

Du Xingzhi hesitated, and whispered, "I don't like him."

Did you guess wrong?Du Xingzhi's business partner is another person with a similar name?This thought flashed through Zhang Ze's mind, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he wondered why Du Xingzhi mentioned the other party to him.

"What's the matter? Why did you mention him to me all of a sudden?" Zhang Ze turned around hesitantly and pulled Du Xingzhi to sit by the bed, "If you don't like him, then you should cut down on him. Auntie asked you to be with him Do you want to have a good relationship? I can help you talk to her. "

Du Xingzhi stared at him with lowered eyes, the hurricane that was finally broken up in his eyes seemed to be reorganized again, and there was a kind of gentleness and violence in his heart.

He suddenly didn't want to continue pretending.Regardless of whether Zhang Ze knows that there is a homosexual group in the world, whether he accepts it or not, existence is existence. Even if the current pretender is driven away, there will be more crazy bees and butterflies rushing in. He can guard against it. For a while, you can't prevent it for a lifetime.

Du Xingzhi's voice was deep, and Zhang Ze's gaze was entangled in his eyes: "Did you find out? The way he looked at you. He has delusions about you that you shouldn't have. I hope you can stay away from him. This is a danger." people."

When the words fell, he tried to find panic or surprise in Zhang Ze's eyes, but he soon unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Ze's expression...was closer to a guilty conscience.

Why is it a guilty conscience?Confused, he unconsciously relaxed the hand holding Zhang Ze's shoulder. He was thinking about the deep meaning of Zhang Ze's emotion, and Zhang Ze over there really turned pale with fright.

The first thought that crossed my mind was "He found it."

Then there was the flustered feeling of Du Xingzhi's almost warning words.

What is the intention of Du Xingzhi's words?Simply tell him that Wu Wangpeng has another purpose for him?If this was just a simple warning, it would have nothing to do with Wu Wangpeng's long distance if he followed the other party's wishes, but maybe it was just a temptation?

Why did he think that Wu Wangpeng had delusions about him?Or, he has always known that Zhang Ze's sexual orientation is different from ordinary people?

A bold guess came to mind, and Zhang Ze's voice trembled uncontrollably.He looked back at Du Xingzhi, and for the first time boldly revealed the unspeakable emotions he had been protecting: "Do you think...he likes me?"

Du Xingzhi's expression became extremely gloomy because of his words, he suppressed his anger and looked at Zhang Ze, and finally hummed unwillingly.

Zhang Ze said again: "Tell me to stay away from him, in what capacity?"

There are too many ambiguities in this sentence. At first, Du Xingzhi understood that Zhang Ze felt that he was meddling, and his expression instantly became ugly.But after thinking about it for a while, his heart suddenly trembled, and his thoughts were drawn to another direction. He frowned and looked at Zhang Ze in disbelief.

His slightly wrinkled eyebrows, pale face, tight lips and... reddish eye sockets!

Du Xingzhi opened his mouth, stood up suddenly and took two steps back, a little unbelievable.

"You, you..." After talking for a long time, Du Xingzhi took another two steps closer, at a loss, showing some boyishness of his age, and his ears were flushed, "You can't be..."

Zhang Ze clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug into his palms, and his heart was almost desperate.Just when he was about to deny Du Xingzhi's words, the panic on Du Xingzhi's face disappeared, replaced by a silly and surprisingly ecstatic joy.

"Hehehehehe..." Du Xingzhi opened his mouth to laugh out a series of meaningless syllables, his whole body was shattered by the sudden good news, and his knees were a little weak.

A fierce tiger descended the mountain and threw Zhang Ze onto the bed. Bloodshot eyes were visible in his eyes, looking ferocious and crazy.When Zhang Ze heard him speak, his voice was surprisingly hoarse: "What do you mean by that just now?"

Zhang Ze was at a loss for his changes, opened his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you..."

However, before these words could be fully uttered, the face above suddenly approached, and Zhang Ze's lips were completely covered within a breath. There were still unfinished words, but soon, the attitude of the other party made him discover a clue.

The astonishment in his heart was not inferior to that of Du Xingzhi. What could be more unbelievable than finding out that the person he thought he was in unrequited love and liked had always had intentions for him in his heart but dared not say anything?There was a pile of paste in Zhang Ze's head, and the tongue that was churning in his mouth attacked unstoppably. The excessive communication caused the corners of his lips to overflow with fluid that he couldn't swallow. He wanted to wipe it off with his hands, but his hands were also clenched in the next second. Living.

Du Xingzhi separated Zhang Ze's fingers one by one and inserted them.Inserting his own fingers, until the ten fingers were firmly intertwined, he broke his hand to the top of his head and held it down.

This kiss was too intense, almost the most lingering time since they had physical contact, and Zhang Ze's non-resistance and even a little cooperative movement made Du Xingzhi feel extremely happy.The tip of his tongue swept over every inch of mucous membrane in Zhang Ze's mouth, and across the most sensitive palate. Zhang Ze's sudden panting made Du Xingzhi even more reluctant.Wrapping the limp little tongue and sucking it, he regularly teased the most sensitive parts of Zhang Ze's mouth, and soon Zhang Ze only had the strength to hold onto his palm.

The shallow "boo" sound when the teeth are separated has a long aftertaste.

With a happy smile on Du Xingzhi's lips, he slid his thumb back and forth on Zhang Ze's moist, red and swollen lower lip.

"In what capacity..." Du Xingzhi squinted his eyes, deep in his eyes was the affection that even a fool could see, at this moment he finally didn't have to force himself to pretend that nothing had happened, and the emotions that had been suppressed all this time came so violently that they would be overwhelmed in an instant. The unsuspecting Zhang Ze was completely wiped out.

He leaned close to Zhang Ze's ear, held Zhang Ze's ten fingers tightly, and after kissing him from the side of his face to the root of his ear, he raised his head and stared at Zhang Ze's eyes on the back of his hand Kissed.

"How's your boyfriend?"

"...Not so much." Zhang Ze replied tremblingly, with a smile that he couldn't hide, "Who is my boyfriend, do I agree?"

Du Xingzhi wrinkled his nose at him, rubbed his big head on Zhang Ze's chest coquettishly, and let go of Zhang Ze's palm and hugged him tightly on his back.Zhang Ze looked at the ceiling and laughed to himself for a while, then silently put his arms around Du Xingzhi's round head, and knocked on it like picking a watermelon.
