It is said that the son's father is the patriarch of a wealthy family

Hearing that Wu Yue was going to take the initiative to join the Zhang family's camp, Li Mu immediately laughed happily. He didn't have many relatives. Now that Zhou Ping and Wu Yue are staying in Qingdao, they will be able to move around frequently in the future.

So, he stretched out his right hand and said: "Senior, I mentioned this matter to Zhang Yi, and he agreed. Now, on behalf of him, I formally welcome you to join the Zhang Group." After speaking, he sincerely added: "Senior , don't worry, your talent is obvious to all, I can't guarantee anything, but I believe that you will not regret your choice today, and I also believe that you will definitely have more room for development in the Zhang family."

Seeing Li Mu who instantly entered the master mode, Wu Yue, who figured it out, showed a rare smile.

After Wu Yue's joining Zhang's Group was decided, he followed Zhang Yi to the headquarters in Qingdao to work the next day. He has won numerous awards in the field of design, and at the same time has a certain reputation both at home and abroad. As a result, it quickly gained a firm foothold in Zhang's headquarters.

The Zhang Group is very generous in terms of talent and benefits. After working at the headquarters of the Zhang Group, Wu Yue no longer went back to live on the island, but lived in an apartment building arranged by the company. The building was repaired by Zhang himself. The building has complete facilities, even a housekeeper, so Wu Yue is also very satisfied with his current life.

Only on weekends, Wu Yue would ask Zhou Ping, who was free, to go to the island to meet Li Mu and Yuan Bao.

All of a sudden, the three of them had a stable rhythm of life.

And Li Mu, who was staying on the island, was also studying and busy for the upcoming Zhongyuan Festival sacrifice of the Zhang family. All of them are important figures of the Zhang family, and those who are not up to the level live in the city of Qingdao.

There, the Zhang family built a large group of villas. The size and style of the villas are similar, and those who can live in it are considered to have worked hard for the development of the Zhang family. You can live in it for free, which is the benefit of having a strong family.

Those who don’t want to live in the villa area can also arrange their own houses. However, most of the young people in the family moved out for the so-called freedom after being allocated a house. Generally, the old people in the Zhang family are still used to living together.

The Zhang family, whose blood is farther away, is also taken care of. As long as they are still within the fifth service, the Zhang Group will take care of life, old age, sickness and death, and they will not be able to live in the villa area. There are still buildings to live in. However, they can have the right to use these properties , but has no right to control, because this is the arrangement of the Zhang family to take care of the people. After a hundred years, the Zhang family has the right to take it back. You can leave the Zhang family to make a living by yourself.

The Zhang family's doing this is considered to be the utmost benevolence, and no Zhang family has any doubts about it.

And in the villa group called Zhang Yuan, Zhang Cheng's family also lived in it, and their family divided into two villas, which is an affirmation of their achievements in Qingdao for so many years. Those who were willing also moved here, so the villas gradually became full of people.

This villa is allocated according to the seniority and contribution ability of the family, and being able to live in it represents a status symbol in the Zhang family.

Of course, if he can live on the same island as Zhang Yi, then this is the most important person in the Zhang family, but at least it must be the accumulation of credit from generation to generation.

Since the Zhang family moved to Shanghai Island, each family has come to visit Zhang Yi one after another. At the same time, they also met the real but temporarily unknown Li Mu. Only when Li Mu's name was officially written in Zhang's genealogy, he Only then can she be regarded as the real patriarch's wife of the Zhang family.

However, depending on the situation, it will be a matter of time. It is estimated that after the end of the Ghost Festival, Li Mu's name will be listed alongside Zhang Yi's name in Zhang's family tree. This family tree is much more reliable than a marriage certificate, because it means The status of being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the patriarch also represents the rights in the Zhang family. The most important point is that even after death, the spirit card will be enshrined in the Zhang family's ancestral hall to be enshrined by the fireworks from generation to generation.

The Zhang family who moved to the island were all in batches, so the guests who came to visit Zhang Yi and the others were also in batches. The status of the guests was from high to low. Every Zhang family was polite and polite when facing Li Mu. On the surface, there is really no intrigue, but people are separated from each other, who knows what each of them really thinks in their hearts.

When meeting Zhang's family with Zhang Yi, Li Mu was also decent. Judging from his appearance, no one felt that he should not stand with Zhang Yi.

Li Mu is not only smart, but also very malleable. As he spends more time with Zhang Yi, he learns the other party's ways of handling affairs, imitates courage, and combines methods. Gradually, he is cultivated by the situation. The imposing manner that the master should have, especially the guard assigned to him by Zhang Yi, made him instantly understand how rights should be manifested.

The captain of the guard who followed Li Mu was Sun Jie, the second in command of Zhang's security team.

From the first day of the establishment of Zhang's security team, the chief and deputy captains were responsible for protecting the patriarch and his wife. Seeing Sun Jie following behind Li Mu, everyone understood the other party's true status in the Zhang family.

All the dissatisfaction and discussions that were too late to show in front of Li Mu disappeared before they even started. The male patriarch's wife should be the male patriarch's wife, as long as the patriarch likes it.

This arrangement is Zhang Yi's love and protection for his partner. He has already paved a smooth path for Li Mu. He is the patriarch, and he will lead the clan to glory. At the same time, his rights cannot be challenged.

The Zhang family who understand this truth can only follow closely in the footsteps of the patriarch. If they advance together, they will win together. If they fall behind, they will be abandoned by the patriarch. This is not what anyone wants to see.

During this period of time, the direct branch of the Zhang family came in and out of Zhang Yi's villa every day. They either came to visit, or came to ask for something. In the midst of their busy schedule, Zhang Yi and Li Mu lived happily. Especially fulfilling.

While enjoying their own lives, they also had to deal with family affairs. They looked to Zhang Yi for foreign affairs and Li Mu for internal affairs. With the help of Uncle Zhong, Li Mu handled more and more small matters. The family's right to speak has also increased.

After all, the nameless patriarch's wife has great power.

As time went by, Li Mu became more and more proficient in handling the internal affairs of the Zhang family. The families who moved to the island also got along in harmony, and the whole island became lively and full of popularity.

During the busy period between Zhang Yi and Li Mu, Yuan Bao was the happiest.

As the villas on the island gradually became full of people, more and more children came here. Before long, the number of children under the age of ten reached 36. With the arrival of so many children, Yuan Bao can be regarded as having found the same age. So, every morning, accompanied by Dong Hanwu, he went to the ethnology school on the island to play.

After breakfast that day, Yuan Bao asked Li Mu for a loving kiss, then happily left home with a small backpack on his back and walked towards the ethnology school on the mountain.

He walked slowly along the stone ladder of the mountain road. From the frequency of his chubby legs, it can be seen that he is in a good mood now. The island is neither hot nor cold at this time. The cotton shorts and shorts, the exposed small arms and chubby legs are white and tender, very attractive.

Originally, the ethnology studies on the island hadn’t been opened yet, but when there were more children on the island, the adults worried that they would go to the beach and wander around, so they simply applied to the clan to open the ethnology studies in advance, as a place to play before school.

Dong Hanwu looked at Yuan Bao who was bouncing and walking in front of him happily, and couldn't help asking: "Yuan Bao, would you like me to give you a backpack." Yuan Bao's small backpack contained his drinking cup and a few small snacks , It's not serious, but he just wants to help.

Hearing that he was going to give himself a backpack, Yuan Bao looked back at Dong Hanwu and said seriously: "No, Brother Hanwu, I can carry it. Dad said, I have to do my own things, I am very good." Meaning That is to say, don't go back and complain, he really went away obediently with his small bag on his back.

"Okay, then if you can't recite it, tell me, can my brother recite it for you?" Dong Hanwu compromised.

"Yeah." He hummed happily.

After walking for a while, a child ran out from a villa on the side of the road. The child had big eyes and was not tall, only a little taller than Yuanbao. Clever, the child saw Yuan Bao and his party as soon as they went out, and immediately shouted happily: "Yuan Bao, Brother Han Wu, wait for me." After speaking, he quickly waved to the family behind him, and ran over.

"Niuniu, hurry up." Yuan Bao also happily waved to the children.

The child ran over quickly, looked at Yuan Bao and said dissatisfiedly: "Yuan Bao, how many times have I said it, my name is not Niuniu, I am Zhang Hongliu, Zhang Hongliu." He waved his hand while talking, emphasizing the words credibility.

"Okay, Niuniu." Liuliu, Liuliu, isn't it similar to Niuniu?Yuan Bao went his own way, but when he first met Zhang Hongliu, he happened to see him crying on the beach, with his fingers caught by crabs, and if it wasn't for his help, the other party would still be crying.

Yuan Bao saw that the other party was handsome and dressed like a little girl, so he called it that on his own.

Facing Yuan Bao who was not polite, Zhang Hongliu shut up helplessly, and Niu Niu should be Niu Niu, anyway, it sounded very close to Liu Liu.

"Yuanbao, shall we call Xiaoshitou?" Niu Niu, who was resigned to her fate, asked as she followed Yuanbao. While walking, he would occasionally tug at the small flowers and grasses on the side of the road. Judging from his movements, he had a lively personality.

Zhang Hongliu is five years old this year, a bit older than Yuan Bao. However, the two are about the same height, which shows how well the three-year-old Yuan Bao has developed. This is due to the physique he inherited from Zhang Yi, and also to Li Mu's feeding.

Hearing Niuniu's question, Yuan Bao, who was a step behind, blinked his eyes and said, "Ask Xiao Shitou to go with me."

They ran and jumped to the clan school on the mountain. Along the way, they met many children who came out of their homes to play. However, most of the children ran away after seeing Yuan Bao and the others. Walk past and follow behind.

Seeing such children, Niuniu kicked the stones on the ground dissatisfied and said: "They are so annoying, we don't want to play with them anymore." Then he looked at Yuan Bao again and said, "By the way, Yuan Bao, what game shall we play today?" After speaking, he was full of anticipation.

"Play eagle and catch chickens." I just played Douguai yesterday, and today I want to play a different game, which Yuanbao has been proficient in playing in Lijia Village.

Hearing that there is a new game to play, Niu Niu is very happy. As for how to play it, he doesn’t care, anyway, it’s good to have Yuan Bao directing it. For children like them who have lived in honeypots since childhood, they may have played many games, but this kind of I have never played a game full of local flavor, so I am still looking forward to playing with Yuanbao every day.

"Yuan Bao, Niuniu."

When the two walked halfway, they saw a tall and big child waiting at the intersection. The child is seven years old this year and is considered one of the biggest children on the island. However, because he looks relatively simple and honest, most of the children are He didn't like to play with him, that is, after he came to the island, he met Yuan Bao who didn't dislike him. From then on, he followed Yuan Bao wholeheartedly.

Therefore, Yuan Bao took in two loyal younger brothers within a few days of playing at the clan school.

At this moment, when they heard the cry of the child, they all happily replied, "Little Stone."

Xiaoshitou waved to the grandfather behind him and ran towards Yuanbao and the others. Ever since he had his own little playmate, he was looking forward to going to the ethnology school every day, so every morning after breakfast, he waited at the intersection , his family also knew about the existence of Yuan Bao, and what they were happiest was that the child had playmates of the same age. After several children walked forward together, Xiao Shitou's grandfather nodded to Dong Hanwu and went home .

As soon as the three children met, Xiao Shitou took the initiative to take off the small backpack on Yuan Bao's back and put it on his back. Grandpa told him that he should treat whoever is good to him. A good friend, so he wants to treat Yuan Bao better.

After a while, they reached the ethnology on the hillside.

The ethnology is very large, covering an area about the size of a football field. It is built according to the antique private school, divided into indoor and outdoor, and all facilities are complete. Facing the ethnology of only thirty or so children, this place is already spacious enough. Enough for them to run and jump and play.

The family school that has not yet opened is temporarily used as an activity place for children. For the safety of the children, the family has arranged some childcare personnel around.

Next to the ethnology is Zhang's ancestral hall. There is a large square in front of the ethnology and the ancestral hall. Standing on the square, you can have a panoramic view of the island's scenery. The carved beams and painted buildings of the ancestral hall on the side are extraordinary, and a pair of majestic large stone lions are at the door. , There are two gatekeepers on both sides of the stone lion. It can be seen that these two places are the important places of the Zhang family.

Ancestral halls and ethnology exist side by side, symbolizing continuation and inheritance.

At eight o'clock in the morning, there were already many children in the ethnology courtyard, and they gathered together in twos and threes to discuss what to play.

When Yuan Bao walked into the courtyard with Xiaoshishi and Niuniu, all eyes turned to him.

Some were kind, some were eager, and some were dissatisfied. Yuan Bao didn't care about these gazes at all. He cheerfully led people to a classroom beside him, and asked Xiao Shitou to put down his small backpack before coming out to find someone to play with.

And Dong Hanwu took two bodyguards to wait in the waiting room at the side. This was specially arranged by the ethnology, because children should look like they are studying when they come to the ethnography, and they must be separated from the accompanying adults.

When Yuan Bao and the others returned to the courtyard, a group of children in the courtyard had already divided into three piles and stood up.

Although there are only thirty or so children, they are also divided into three factions. One is dominated by Zhang Hongquan, the grandson of Zhang Yi's elder brother Zhang Ying, the other is dominated by Zhang Hongxun, the grandson of Zhang Yi's second brother Zhang Jing, and the other is They are considered neutral, and the number of neutrals is the smallest, but none of them can be offended, and of course they won't provoke anyone, because they are all people with foreign surnames.

Living on this island are not only the descendants and branches of the Zhang family, but also followers who loyally followed the patriarchs of the past generations and made great contributions to the development of the Zhang family. Enlightenment.

However, after the arrival of Yuanbao, the children who were originally divided into three factions immediately broke the balance of the tripartite confrontation.

Yuan Bao is the patriarch's son. Although he hasn't officially entered the family tree yet, it is estimated that he will be able to formally establish his identity after the Ghost Festival. As for the patriarch's son, as long as he doesn't have too many IQ problems, he can almost be regarded as the patriarch of the next generation. Candidates.

The candidate for the patriarch is not fixed, but it must be the most direct bloodline. The patriarch has to be selected after layers of selection since childhood. Originally, the fathers of Zhang Hongquan and Zhang Hongxun were the most powerful competitors for the next generation of patriarchs, so the two children They also disliked each other, but they didn't expect that now there is an extra ingot, but, can such a small milk doll be the patriarch?Of course no one believed it.

However, even if Yuan Bao couldn't be the patriarch, but because of his seniority, everyone was a little unhappy to be called uncle when faced with a milk baby.

The children living in the Zhang family knew from an early age that what kind of treatment they enjoyed, and what kind of life they would have in the future, whether they were masters or assistants, they all climbed up step by step as they grew up.

For Yuanbao, many people are weighing it.

His identity has a natural advantage in the competition for the position of the next generation patriarch. According to the principle of priority, he is the first successor. Only when he is unqualified will he consider other Zhang family members.

That is to say, at least wait until Yuan Bao becomes an adult to decide on the candidate for the next generation of patriarch. Therefore, the children have no idea about him as the standard candidate for the next generation of patriarch. You know, Conglong Zhigong seems to be good.

Children, big and small, have long been evaluated under the guidance of their family members. However, it is not an easy task to get them to easily admit it.

So in the face of Yuanbao, everyone has all kinds of thoughts.

Although the ethnology has not been officially opened at this time, when the children are playing here, the elders have already sat on the second floor and looked at the children downstairs. This is also the time to get a preliminary understanding of the potential of the children. Only when ethnology is open can we teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

The bigger the family, the more talents it needs.

Seeing Yuan Bao again, Zhang Hongxun first said, "Yuan Bao, what game are you playing today?" Asking him to call the three-year-old baby uncle, he really couldn't say it, so everyone called those who hadn't recognized their ancestors by name directly. .

Yuan Bao didn't care about the address.

He took Little Shitou and Niu Niu to the middle of the courtyard, looked at everyone and said, "Let's play eagle catching chickens today, shall we?" The big black and white eyes flickered, and immediately the children were tempted.

The children used to play some very elegant games, such as jigsaw puzzles, toy cars, slides, etc. Since the arrival of Yuanbao, there have been many more sporty games, such as the war game where two teams are divided, and There are one-on-one fighting alone, or team vaulting, which they have never played before.

These new games are very popular with the little ones.

Apart from the exclusion of newcomers, Yuan Bao is still very popular with children, not to mention, he is still a beautiful doll, so although everyone has not merged into a group for the time being, at least when playing games, except for Zhang Hongquan's faction, The other two factions like to play with him very much.

Zhang Hongxun was the happiest when he heard that there was a new game to play. He was tall and strong, and he liked playing running and jumping games the most.

Don't look at this time as a group of children divided into several factions to play games. In fact, this also represents the core figure of the next generation of the Zhang family.

People's hearts are not so easy to obtain.

Older children understand this truth, and only the newcomer Yuan Bao doesn't understand it. However, even if he doesn't understand it, he has captured two small followers with his personal charm, adding another faction besides the three factions.

Don't look at him with just two little followers, just that little stone, with that strength, two or three children may not necessarily win. Moreover, he only listens to Yuan Bao now, which invisibly adds powerful force to Yuan Bao, And the other follower, Niu Niu, don't think she can't fight, but the other party is very good at inquiring information, like a PHS, just these two people, Yuan Bao firmly grasped both force and intelligence, this is The most basic structure of a group.

Playing at any time is the favorite of the children, and it is also the one that can bring the distance and relationship closer to each other. Regarding Yuan Bao's suggestion to play the game of eagle catching chickens, except for Zhang Hongquan's faction, the other two factions immediately surrounded him.

The factions do not merge, but they can still play together.

When Yuan Bao explained the rules of the game to the children, more than [-] children immediately formed a long line. The first round was Xiao Shitou, and Yuan Bao grabbed his clothes and stood behind him, followed by Niu Niu , and then in order after that.

The selection of the Eagles is decided by drawing lots.

When the first round of the game started, the children immediately entered the game in full swing, and immature laughter filled the entire ethnology courtyard. The unique vitality of children made the unused ethnology full of popularity , several clan elders stood at the window and looked at everything downstairs with satisfaction.

"Hongquan, it seems that the game is very simple, otherwise, let's play it by ourselves." A child standing next to Zhang Hongquan looked enviously at the eagles and chickens chasing and fighting in the courtyard, and couldn't help but said.

Hearing the child's suggestion, a child standing on the other side of Zhang Hongquan pushed the child who had just spoken, and said, "Don't play, wouldn't that make those people too proud? Let's not play with the things they play. Right, Hong Quan."

Zhang Hongquan angrily looked at Yuan Bao who was playing with a blushing face, and Zhang Hongxun who was not up to date, and said, "Let's play football! Let's kick them over and see how they can play." He was rejected by everyone. The children outside are unhappy, so the unhappy people want to cause some damage.

"Okay, hey, let's play football to interfere with them."

Hearing Zhang Hongquan's bad idea, the group of them laughed and booed immediately. In fact, there is no distinction between good and evil among the children, they just couldn't see Yuan Bao's group having so much fun.

Originally, the Zhang Hongquan faction and the Zhang Hongxun faction were not to be dealt with, but now there is an ingot that can take everyone to play. Facing a group of people who occasionally unite, Zhang Hongquan and the others have to back down every time they do something, which makes the unconvinced children They are more dissatisfied, so they are happiest when they can cause damage.

So, Zhang Hongquan and a dozen children played football next to Yuan Bao and the others.

People have short-sighted times, let alone balls. The most important point is that Zhang Hongquan and his group still have the heart to play where there are many people. Therefore, the sound of being hit by the ball kept ringing in the courtyard, and each of them had a good game. Immediately messed up.

If you interfered with me, I would definitely fight back, so back and forth, both sides became angry, Zhang Hongxun and the others stopped playing eagles and chickens, and Zhang Hongquan and the others stopped playing football. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.

Think about it, more than [-] children are twisting together, that scene is really super interesting, because everyone is a child, one by one, the small balls are pressing one by one, just like a large group of kittens rolling together, the cuteness turned everyone over .

The caregivers standing around the ethnology and taking care of the children didn't move at all. As early as when they came here, they were specially told that children fight and play, as long as there is no danger, they don't care about it. Of course, they are not allowed participate.

Anyway, the strength of the children is not much, so just hit it, it's like exercising.

Even if Dong Hanwu sat in the house with someone, he didn't care, but Zhang Yi said that the children's battlefields should be resolved by the children themselves, as long as they don't suffer too tragic injuries, then don't intervene.

After all, children also have children's views on right and wrong.

It doesn’t matter whether the relationship between Yuanbao and the children is good or not, the important thing is to convince the children. Convincing the public is not only based on intelligence. Such a young child has no concept of right and wrong. Talking about intelligence is even more nonsense. just hit!Fighting is the kingly way. In this day and age, whose children are not the masters at home, the only way to make the little bullies obedient is to fight. If they win, they will naturally have the right to speak.

beat!

There is nothing that cannot be played.

Seeing that the children in the courtyard were all fighting together, Yuan Bao, who was protected by Xiaoshitou and Niuniu, was a little confused, alas, why did they start fighting when it was going well?Isn't it just playing a game?Can everyone still have fun?

The courtyard of ethnology is full of kittens rolling on the ground, and they don’t care whether their clothes are dirty or not, and they scuffle when they catch someone. Originally, there were not as many people on Zhang Hongquan’s side as there were on the side playing eagles and chickens. But after fighting, the neutral faction retreated, and Yuanbao was protected by Xiao Shitou and the others, leaving only Zhang Hongxun's faction on the field.

As a result, the two parties of equal strength immediately fought in full swing, one against one, speaking, Zhang Hongquan had two more people than Zhang Hongxun's faction, so the three children caught Zhang Hongxun and started fighting.

Within 2 minutes, Zhang Hongxun's nose was bleeding and his face was turning blue.

But that's it, the skinny boy Zhang Hongxun didn't cry, he was still struggling hard when he was pressed to the ground, but no matter how good he was alone, he couldn't beat three children of his age, and in a blink of an eye he was pressed to the ground and rubbed .

Looking at the miserable Zhang Hongxun, Yuan Bao became angry.

Fighting is fighting, one-on-one, why do people bully one more person, so he became unhappy, and the unhappy little man started to move his hands and feet, and then suddenly pushed aside the small stones and Niuniu who were blocking him like a cannonball rushed out.

The cannonball that rushed out grabbed Zhang Hongquan who was sitting on Zhang Hongxun and punched him. Immediately, there was a scream, and the children in the entire ethnology courtyard stopped, and everyone stared blankly at Yuanbao.

Three year olds got into a fight!
