My Side Job is a Trader

"Originally, we have already made preparations to hand over the position of patriarch. After all, the eldest brother is not at home for so many years, and if the second brother does not have any accidents, it is estimated that he will be cut off. Our mother has been insisting on it for the past few years. Said that as long as there are men in our house, we will not easily give up the position of patriarch."

Little aunt Zhang Xiaochun saw that Zhang Xin didn't care much about the affiliation of the patriarch, so she also joined the persuasion team.

Zhang Xin smiled and looked at the group of relatives, as if he was the patriarch.

Zhang Xin really felt that it was boring. Now it is not like in the past. The patriarch may have a lot of power in a family.

Nowadays, as long as many people are prosperous, they will move to the city, and they can settle down all over the country, so the concept of family has gradually disintegrated.

Logically speaking, Zhang Xin's name should be similar to Zhang Guiming, and they are ranked with the word "Gui", but Zhang Xin and Zhang Miao's siblings obviously did not rank according to their families.

Zhang Xin felt that we couldn't let everyone talk like this anymore, so he said: "Aunts, uncles and grandmas, you haven't answered the question I just asked. If our family is still the same today, would you still be willing to do this?" Are you trying your best to fight for the position of patriarch for our family?"

Zhang Guiming said: "Cousin, don't worry too much about the past. Since my aunt is here today, it means that my aunt also wants to put down the grievances with everyone. After all, there is no deep hatred, and the root of the conflict is also the same as Grandpa's." We passed away and are no longer here, the most important thing for us now is to maintain our status as the long house, and everyone agrees on this aspect."

Grandma looked at He Cuizhen and said, "Cuizhen, just make a statement. After all, you were the one who was wronged the most. Today, you haven't let go of the past grievances?"

He Cuizhen looked at everyone, and said with a slight smile: "It's impossible to completely forget the past, but it's been so many years, and we're so old, I just let it go."

He Cuizhen's words were light and light, and only Zhang Xin knew that He Cuizhen would not forget it at all. It's just that everyone now wants to ease the relationship with her family, and her stature is relatively low, so she can't keep holding on to the past grievance If you don't let her go, people will say that she is narrow-minded.

He Cuizhen still cherishes her reputation and face. In addition, the last time Zhang Xin got married, grandma talked to her a little bit, told her what was in her heart, and even apologized to her. He Cuizhen has earned enough face.

"Since our family is also a member of the long house, we deserve it, and no one can take it away."

Seeing that He Cuizhen had spoken, Zhang Xin was not so persistent. Finally, with everyone's insistence, he took over the genealogy.

Now that he has taken over the position of the patriarch, it is natural to establish the prestige of the patriarch, so Zhang Xin said: "Since everyone agrees that our family will be the patriarch, then I would like to ask uncle to contact the second and third family members, so that we can start a family together." In the internal meeting, explain some things clearly, so as not to cause trouble later on."

Zhang Zhongyu readily agreed, so he and Zhang Guiming contacted the second and third cousins ​​respectively.

Since it was the first time to gather everyone, of course, Zhang Xin paid the money directly, handed it over to a few aunts, and said, "Auntie, please go find the cook, and then buy some vegetables. Tonight, our Zhang family will get together by the way. a meal."

This is also the most common practice in rural areas. Generally, if you need to entertain guests for something, you always choose to invite a chef to come and do it fresh. The banquet is placed in the yard, and the size of the venue is just right.

"Dad, don't we still have a box of Moutai in the car? I'll move it here with you."

Zhang Boyu followed Zhang Xin to the car.

"Dad, in fact, you want to get the position of patriarch, right?"

Zhang Boyu was obviously very happy, and said without any concealment: "Son, your father and I have spent most of our lives wandering outside, just wanting to prove ourselves. The patriarch originally belonged to our family, but your grandfather favored boys over girls and intended to support your uncle's family. That's why our family had to go out to make a living, and now I finally got it back, and I don't have any regrets in my life."

Zhang Xindao: "Actually, the patriarch doesn't mean much now, so he has a better reputation."

"Isn't this person living in this world just for fame and fortune? Our family has no shortage of money, so the next step is to pay attention to reputation. Otherwise, why do my cousins ​​still obsess over the position of patriarch? Some of them Now that the factory has been opened, there must be no shortage of money, just for the sake of fame!"

Zhang Xin snorted and said with a smile: "Dad, do you think they will be richer than me?"

Zhang Boyu said: "Stinky boy, don't be shy, how can they compare with you? Your money is hundreds of millions, and they probably only have millions or tens of millions."

The two opened the trunk of the car, and Zhang Xin brought a bag of milk powder and a bag of soluble beans by the way.

On the way back, Zhang Boyu said, "You patriarch is really generous. You spend your own money and energy to entertain everyone."

"What else? If it's not good, just gather everyone together for a meeting and it's over? Then I don't have the face to be the patriarch."

"It's three o'clock now, and I don't know if there will be enough time for the banquet, so it's better not to make people wait too long?"

Zhang Xin said: "Don't worry, I'm counting the time. At worst, I'll invite a few more chefs to come over and cook together. I've already ordered the ingredients online, and they will deliver them to your door in half an hour."

Back at Zhang Zhongyu's house, the women in the family have already started to get busy, preparing the existing ingredients first.

Cousins ​​and sisters of the same generation as Zhang Xin have also received news from their parents. Now Zhang Zhongyu’s house is very lively, and Zhang Xin and Li Xueer are introduced by their grandmother to meet those family members who have hardly met each other. .

Everyone else has received the message, or is about to come, or is already on the way.

Zhang Guisheng was talking to his father Zhang Mingyu about the scene he saw when he just paid New Year's greetings to his grandma.

"So you saw that the genealogy has been given to Bo Yu's family?"

Zhang Guisheng said: "It should be right. Otherwise, why didn't Grandma take it sooner or later, and waited for Uncle Zhang Boyu's family to come back, so she took out the genealogy? Just put it on the table, and I can see it clearly."

Zhang Mingyu said: "I'm afraid this time is the celebration banquet for Zhang Boyu's family to become the patriarch. The last time Zhang Xin got married, the situation was not small. From this, it can be seen that their family has indeed developed. In the future, your uncles and uncles will still be there." It may be very difficult to fight for the position of patriarch, after all, their financial resources are not inferior to those of theirs."

Zhang Guisheng gloated and said, "Forget it, anyway, our family has never thought of becoming the patriarch. Now I want to see how those uncles who are thinking about fighting for the position of patriarch will deal with it."
