“Your third sister-in-law is called Zhu Xiuhua. When we meet, you have to give her a gold coin or two as a greeting gift. Afterwards, don’t offend her, and don’t mention Norse, Brilliant Fire Seed, or anything else in front of her. Third sister-in-law is called Zhu Yongnian. It has nothing to do with us Norse …”

On the way to Sijing, Hagrid kept on telling Tie Zha all kinds of “precautions”. The third elder was raised by the Zhu Clan. The two old men not only treated him as if they were themselves, they also married their only daughter to him. Therefore, the Zhu Clan could be said to be extremely grateful to the third elder. It was precisely because of this that Third Brother was especially afraid of his wife.

The next afternoon, after a day and night of driving and running for nearly 1,500 kilometers, everyone finally arrived in Xijing.

Compared to the Yujing of the Horned Rhinoceros Clan that Tie Zha had been to before, the multi-tribal Xijing looked more ancient and honest, with a long history, but it also appeared to be more backward and poorer than the Yujing of the Horned Rhinoceros Clan. Although Yujing is deep in the Far East hinterland, there are many modern facilities, many high-end hotels and diversified consumption places. Xijing, on the other hand, was more like a mixture of an ancient city and a market for agricultural products.

Along the way, there were very few buildings taller than five floors in Xijing. Most of them were bungalows or two-storey houses. About twenty minutes into the city, under Hagrid’s command, the jeep drove into a busy shopping street. Looking around, there were shops on both sides of the street, selling everything.

From the sign at the entrance, one could see that there were all kinds of grocery stores, hardware stores, grain stores, snacks stores, clothing stores, electrical appliances stores, repair shops, machinery stores, car repair shops, bakeries, bakeries, and so on.

Shortly after entering the shop street, at a corner of a noodle soup shop, Hagrid stopped the car and told the driver and Zhao Wenke to find a place to rest nearby. He then took Tie Zha for a walk to a two-storey house on the side of the street.

There was a grocery store on the lower floor of the house, and there were many colorful clothes hanging on the upper floor.

The grocery store sign said, “Vermillion Bird Store.” A lot of paint had fallen off the sign, making it look extremely old. The door frames and walls of the grocery store were also exceptionally old, and they looked dark, as if they hadn’t been dusted all year round.

Looking in from outside the shop, the shopkeeper was a fat woman in her thirties, with an ordinary appearance, about 1.6 meters tall, thick waist, thick legs, thick arms, and thick legs. Upon closer inspection, her face was thick/hard, and her eyebrows carried a hint of ferocity and strength. It wasn’t hard to tell that she was a strong and shrewd woman.

“She is your third sister-in-law.” Hagrid whispered.

“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded. Then, the two of them walked to the front of the shop and stood still.

Seeing that there was a guest, Zhu Xiuhua immediately smiled and came out from inside. But when she saw that it was Hagrid, she raised her eyebrows and immediately put away her smile. She put on a look of “seeing a ghost” and said weakly, “Second uncle, what brings you here?”

“Oh” Hagrid smiled and said, “I just happened to be passing by Xijing, so I came by to see Third Brother and you.”

“I didn’t say hello beforehand. It would be good if I had a voice call. It would allow me to prepare more food.” Zhu Xiuhua tilted her eyes and looked at Hagrid.

“No need, no need. Let’s just sit and leave. Let’s just sit and leave.” Hagrid said with a smile.

“How is this possible!” Zhu Xiuhua’s face immediately turned stiff as he shouted, “Second Uncle came to my place and left without even eating a meal. What do you want my neighbors to think of me? How will I, Zhu Xiuhua, behave in the future?”

“No, no, no. That’s not what I meant. I’m afraid I’ll trouble you.” Hagrid hurriedly explained.

“My family, what kind of trouble is there!” Zhu Xiuhua said in a rough voice.

“Why don’t we go out and eat together tonight?” Hagrid said.

“How can that be? When relatives arrive at home, they still have to go out to eat. What do you want my neighbors to think of me? Don’t tell me that I, Zhu Xiuhua, can’t even cook. How am I supposed to behave in the future?” Zhu Xiuhua said aggressively, with a completely unforgiving look on her face. Hagrid scratched his hair and nodded without answering.

Then, Zhu Xiuhua took out a small wooden table and a few small benches from the shop, and placed them under the big trees on the side of the street. Then, she made a large pot of tea, took a few more ceramic cups, and placed them heavily on the wooden table, letting Hagrid pour tea for himself.

Hagrid had just poured three cups of tea when Zhu Xiuhua took some melon seeds, peanuts, sugar, plums and other snacks from the shop and piled them up on the table.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Xiuhua looked at Tie Zha while eating melon seeds. After a while, she frowned and turned to Hagrid and said, “I think this little brother looks a little like that dead ghost of my family. Could he be your brother again?”

“This” Hagrid scratched his hair and introduced awkwardly, “This is Fifth Brother, Tie Zha.”

Zhu Xiuhua’s face immediately revealed surprise. She turned around and sized up Tie Zha. Finally, she raised her head thoughtfully and said to herself, “Didn’t she say that she was already dead?”

“Uh” Hagrid rubbed his forehead and explained, “Back then, it was said that life and death were uncertain, not death” As he spoke, he took advantage of Zhu Xiuhua’s back to glance at Tie Zha.

Seeing this, Tie Zha rolled his eyes. Then, he took out two gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the table, but didn’t say anything.

“This is a greeting gift from Fifth Brother.” Hagrid said to Zhu Xiuhua as he gritted his teeth at Tie Zha, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Zhu Xiuhua praised as he stuffed two gold coins into his pocket. “Yo ~ Our Fifth Uncle is a talented young man. He doesn’t dare to laugh or talk nonsense. He will have great prospects in the future ~”

“Liao … Where’s Zhu Yongnian?” Tie Zha asked solemnly.

“That devil of ours is still at work. He won’t be home until half past six. Fifth Uncle will sit down and drink tea first. He will naturally come back at dinner time.” Zhu Xiuhua said with a smile. As the saying goes, everything befell everything. Facing Tie Zha, who had an icy cold attitude, she was much more polite.

Actually, one could deduce the general situation of a person from the person beside him. From the first moment he saw Zhu Xiuhua, Tie Zha had no hope for Fang Northess. There were also quite a few fierce women in Tieshan Town, but it was rare to see someone as powerful as Zhu Xiuhua.

“Mom … Eh, it’s Second Uncle.” “Second uncle, second uncle!” “Long live, Second Uncle is here!” “Second Uncle …”

In the meantime, two little boys and two little girls carrying schoolbags rushed up from behind and surrounded Hagrid, chattering loudly. Hagrid laughed heartily and picked them up one by one, placing them on his shoulders.

“Second Uncle is so tall!” “I want to grow up like second uncle!” “That’s ~ Second Uncle is so powerful ~” “What good stuff did Second Uncle bring me?”

“Come, come, come. Ask him for it. He is your fifth uncle.” Hagrid pointed at Tie Zha and said.

Two men and two women climbed down from Hagrid’s shoulders one after another. The girl looked at Tie Zha timidly, but the boy was incomparably bold. One of them stepped forward and kicked him in the foot. He crossed his arms and said, “Hey, Second Uncle said you were our Fifth Uncle. What did you bring us for fun?”

Looking at the little bandit-like boy, Tie Zha couldn’t help but laugh. He remembered how barbaric and unpleasant he was when he was young. Then, with four “pa pa pa pa pa” sounds, they sold four gold coins in a row, letting them buy their own things to play with.

“Aiya, Fifth Uncle, I’m really sorry. The children are ignorant, and I made you waste money again.” Zhu Xiuhua said somewhat awkwardly.

“It’s fine.” Tie Zha casually waved his hand and said.

After a while, Zhu Xiuhua pulled Hagrid to the side and whispered, “I see that this fifth brother is generous and has a noble aura. What exactly is he doing? Could he be like you, always feeling uneasy?”

“He is an official.” Hagrid said solemnly.

“Ah! Official!” Zhu Xiuhua accidentally raised her voice and hurriedly covered her mouth. She whispered, “Where do you work? Is your position big?”

“Great official.” Hagrid sneaked a glance at Tie Zha and said.

“How old is it? Is it as big as a street director?” Zhu Xiuhua asked expectantly.

“Director is nothing. He is even older than the mayor.” Hagrid said.

“Ah!” Zhu Xiuhua couldn’t help but raise her voice again, “It’s even louder than the mayor!” Then, he sighed and said, “How formidable!” Then she thought for a moment and said, “I think he is the most promising person in your family.”

“That … that’s …” Hagrid nodded.

“How old is he this year? Do you have a girlfriend?” Zhu Xiuhua asked.

Hagrid did not react for a moment and answered truthfully, “It seems like twenty-two this year, probably not yet.”

“This is good” Zhu Xiuhua’s eyes shone brightly. “The daughter of the old Wang family next door is not bad. I’ll call her for dinner later and let the young people have more contact with her.”

“Alright, you do as you please.” Said Hagrid, scratching his hair subconsciously.

As time passed, the sky darkened. It was half past six in the evening, and a man with a shoulder bag on his back hurriedly walked over from afar.

When he saw Hagrid sitting in front of the grocery store, he was stunned for a moment before shouting, “Second brother!” Hagrid heard the voice and looked up. He immediately stood up and rushed forward with large strides.

In the next moment, the two of them hugged each other tightly.

“Here, this is Fifth Brother. His name is Tie Zhao. This is Third Brother.” After embracing each other, Hagrid pulled the man to meet Tie Zha and introduced him.

“Hello, Fangs.” Tie Zha stretched out his hand calmly. For some reason, he didn’t feel any intimacy towards his brothers in front of him.

However, the man stretched out his hands and held his hand tightly. Tears flashed in his eyes as he said in a trembling voice, “You … Hello … Old … Old … Tie … Tie Zha.”
