Half an hour later, the group hurriedly descended the mountain.

The two cars returned to the He family home about half an hour later.

"Mr. Zhang, Qiao'er, would you like to stay for lunch?"

Zhang Tianhao glanced at He Qiao'er, who was standing to the side; clearly, she was the one who would make the decision.

When He's mother saw Zhang Tianhao's attitude, she understood immediately and smiled even more broadly, becoming increasingly satisfied with him.

After all, his daughter married a powerful man who doted on her quite a bit.

"Tianhao, how about we stay for lunch?"

"Okay!"

He agreed without hesitation, and then saw Mr. He take him to play chess.

"By the way, let's eat at home for lunch, no need to go out to buy groceries, keep it simple!"

He didn't forget to give He Qiao'er a word of advice. He believed she would understand.

"Mom, let's have a simple lunch at home. Besides, when we come back at noon, we'll give the servants a silver dollar in the afternoon as a token of our gratitude."

"Okay!"

Anyway, the money was a gift from Zhang Tianhao, so they didn't feel bad about spending it.

There might not be much food at home, but it would be enough for the whole family. As for the servants, they might eat a little less at noon, but in the afternoon each of them would receive a dollar, which would be enough to make up for the loss of that meal.

At noon, the meal consisted of only three dishes and a soup, which looked quite simple.

The meal was just a bowl of noodles, nothing extravagant, and looked extremely simple.

"Mom, is this all you're having for lunch? That's way too simple!"

"It's already very good. We're lucky to have food to eat. We have three meals a day, and we don't have any less. Compared to many families, we're lucky to have even one meal a day. And what time is it now? It's a time of national crisis."

“I would rather donate the extra to the soldiers on the front lines. My family could eat better, but I donated it all. Although it’s just simple food, it’s enough.”

"So this is ah!"

"I am a major general, and my family can still afford to eat. But now the country is in crisis, how can I eat these things with peace of mind? So I donated them to the soldiers on the front lines."

"Well done, Uncle is a man of character. I'd like to toast you!"

Zhang Tianhao smiled, picked up his cup, and toasted him with tea instead of wine.

"Compared to many people who are now obsessed with fine wine and beautiful women, you are a breath of fresh air, and I admire you very much."

"In comparison to you, I am far inferior. Although you currently hold no official position, who would dare to look down on you?"

Now, when people mention you, Zhang Tianhao, everyone speaks highly of you!

"Yes, Tianhao, I heard you went to Europe. How was your trip?"

Upon hearing the mention of Europe, He Qiao'er's face instantly darkened, and she appeared very unhappy, after all, she knew what Zhang Tianhao had done in Europe.

It could be described as a near-death experience, and that's no exaggeration.

When Mr. He saw Qiao'er's expression, he was also stunned, after all, these things were really too shocking.

"Qiao'er, what's wrong?"

"Dad, don't mention it. Tianhao went to Europe and almost didn't make it back. I'll give you a book in a while, and you'll know what happened when you read it."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, besides taking care of the kids at home, you still need to take good care of Tianhao. After all, Tianhao's job is too dangerous, and he really has a tough job."

"Dad, I know, you don't need to say anything more."

He Qiao'er interrupted their conversation and started eating.

An hour later, after finishing their meal, they took their leave. "Dad, Mom, it's not that I don't want to stay, but many people want us dead. If we stay here, we'll put you in danger. Neither I nor Tianhao can be so selfish. So, we should go back to the Zhang residence."

"Of course, if you miss us, you can go to the Zhang residence; it's safer there."

"How could this be? It can't be!"

"Dad, have you forgotten all the accidents that happened when we got married? We had to run away overnight. If it weren't for Tianhao's quick thinking and taking me to Xichang, we might not have even had a chance to survive."

"You don't know, when we were going back to northern Jiangsu, the Japanese soldiers and pursuers were like madmen trying to deal with us all the way."

"That's true. Even though there are people protecting us at the Zhang residence, and even in other places, our family might not be safe. Sigh."

Mr. He sighed and had no choice but to give up.

Looking at Zhang Tianhao, his eyes were filled with a variety of complex emotions.

"gone!"

The two arrived in the courtyard, got into the car, and drove directly out of the He family's house.

As for the rest, let others handle it!
About ten minutes later, as the car drove into the Zhang residence, it was noticed that there seemed to be a few more people in front of the gate, and the level of security had clearly increased.

As he got out of the car, he saw Uncle Fu sitting in the front yard, looking worried.

"Hey, Uncle Fu, what's wrong? You look unhappy."

"Sigh, someone is trying to poison you. Happiness, a cat ate some vegetables this morning and died."

"Oh, that's what it was about. It's nothing, just a small matter. Just be careful."

He smiled and waved his hand casually, as if he didn't care about any of it.

"By the way, Uncle Fu, could you arrange for two people to go to the market and buy some groceries? We're having guests coming over tomorrow; they're all Qiao'er's classmates!"

"Young master, if we go to buy it now, it might not be fresh!"

"It's alright, it's just sitting there anyway. Besides, what's so special about this kind of weather?"

"Right!"

In winter, all we get are cabbages and the like; there aren't any good fresh vegetables available.

Buying it now will have the same effect.

"By the way, drive to buy it, be quick and come back quickly, don't give me a chance to steal it on the way."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu immediately understood the intricacies of the situation. After all, he had been given a reminder that morning that it was better to rely on oneself than on others.

Now I go grocery shopping myself, catching others off guard.

Uncle Fu immediately arranged for someone to go there.

Zhang Tianhao then took He Qiao'er back to the backyard to rest, as He Qiao'er was still quite tired.

However, Zhang Tianhao was not about to let go of this opportunity to be alone, and naturally, another round of exercise ensued.

After dark, he finally woke up from his sleep, looked at He Qiao'er who was still sleeping, and then smiled sleepily.

Upon arriving at the front yard, one sees Uncle Fu directing the servants to do things, such as cooking some dishes until they are half-cooked and setting them aside, since there will be guests tomorrow.

"Young Master, would you like to eat?"

"No need, you all go about your business. Here's five silver dollars for each of you today as a token of your hard work."

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon hearing that it was five silver dollars, the two servants were immediately in high spirits and worked even harder.

He received fifteen silver dollars before heading to the backyard. (End of Chapter)
