Parallel Rebirth 1980

Zhang Weiguo sat on a stone roller, basking in the sun and smoking a dry cigarette. His wrinkled face showed worry and expectation, and he looked at the intersection from time to time.

It has been two days since Sanwa left for this trip. According to Sanwa's explanation when he left, if the business trip goes well, it will only last two days. Calculating the time, it will be almost time to come back.

"My dad, it's cold and your waist can't bear it. Put on the new clothes I bought for you." Wang Ailian is a rural woman at heart, and Zhang Weiguo does less work at home, which is also her nature.

Zhang Weiguo didn't say anything or refuse. He felt the military coat draped on his body. The warmth was different from the one made by his mother-in-law.

"Mom, how much did the baby spend on buying these clothes for us?" Zhang Weiguo was curious. He asked Sanwa, and Sanwa always said it wasn't much. When others asked him, he could only answer that others didn't have much, but

I always wonder how much it is.

"It seems to cost four or five yuan. Last time Da Ya came here, I heard her say that these clothes are made by machinery in the county. They are made of carefully selected high-quality cotton. They are very precious." Wang Ailian told what she had heard.

I told everything to my man.

"Sanwazi doesn't guard the door with his money. He will have to take care of it in the future. He can't spend it like this. If you don't learn to save money, you will always have to suffer." Zhang Weiguo knocked the cigarette rod twice at the stone roller and continued to smoke.

The cigarette stick has been used for many years. Last time, Sanwa said that he brought some cigarettes. The taste of those cigarettes was too bland, but his cigarette bag was more powerful.

"Are you willing to take care of it? You are against Erya and the third daughter-in-law fooling around with the third baby, but you still haven't compromised with the third baby's words." Wang Ailian said something rare to her husband. When she saw her husband staring at her, she quickly stopped talking.

Go back to the house and work.

"Erguo~ Erguo, it's a big deal~."

The Zhang Wei family trotted all the way down the path from the field ridge to their muddy rubber shoes and carrying a hoe.

"Third son, are you causing trouble during the birth? Hurry up."

Zhang Weiguo was stunned by the appearance of the third child.

"The second~the second car..."

"Mom, get some water for the third child to drink."

"Hey~"

Zhang Weiguo patted the third child on the back: "Speak slowly, defeat is urgent, what's second."

Wang Ailian brought over a bowl of water, and Zhang Weiguo finished it in one breath. Finally, he was relieved. He grabbed Zhang Weiguo's clothes and was about to speak. The old man opened his hand:

"Don't be so picky. I bought these clothes from Sanwa County. They are machine-made and cost four or five yuan a piece. They are very expensive, so don't get scratched."

"Okay, okay, I'm just wondering why the clothes can't be applied so smoothly."

Seeing that Zhang Weiguo was distracted and forgot what he was going to say, Zhang Weiguo, who had achieved his purpose of showing off, coughed twice: "Let's get down to business, what happened just now, what's the second and third thing."

Zhang Weijia slapped his thigh, "It's a car. Erguo, your family is now the second household in Zhangjia Village with a car. Sanwa rode a car back. In addition to the car, he also brought a lot of goods. He was surrounded by a group of children at the entrance of the village.

The ridge is up."

"dad!"

There was a call from far away, and Zhang Weiguo turned his head, only to see Sanwa riding a big 28-inch car towards his house. On the back seat was his own Erya, and behind him was a group of chasing people.

The little kids playing around.

"Dad, this is the new smoking pole I brought to you in the county. Your old thing is not good for your health if you use it for a long time."

Zhang Qing'an parked the car, put on the bracket, and took out a new cigarette rod from his backpack. It was impossible for the old man to quit smoking because he was addicted to smoking. He might as well change to something better that would make smoking more comfortable.

"Oh, it's not worth wasting this money."

Zhang Weiguo said this but took the cigarette stick honestly. He looked like he couldn't put it down. The old cigarette stick was already dead, but he just couldn't bear to change it. Before seeing the gift, he had long forgotten about teaching his son.

.

"Mom, this is a hairband for you."

Zhang Ailing smiled from ear to ear: "I am already old, why should I wear a hairband?"

"Zhang Youfei, take everyone somewhere else to play, or I won't bring you candy next time."

"Come on, let's go over there."

Zhang Youfei waved and ran away quickly.

"Uncle Third, this is yours."

Zhang Qing'an took out another one. Zhang Weijia, who was very envious just now, was stunned and looked at the cigarette rod in front of him in surprise and felt a little embarrassed: "Sanwa, why are you so embarrassed to cost you so much?"

"I didn't buy it, it was bought by my cousin Qinghuai and his sister-in-law as a tribute to you. My fourth uncle also has some. There are also some items that my aunt and others took home at the roadside." Zhang Qing'an explained with a smile.

Some things have different feelings depending on the person who buys them. How can the things bought by my nephew be as good as those bought by my son?

"Yeah, this little guy has a bit of a conscience." Zhang Weijia stroked the cigarette rod and suddenly raised his head: "Sanwa, did they cause you any trouble outside? Are you serious about your work?"

"This business they did was very good and very successful." Zhang Qingan said with a smile: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought so many things."

"That's right, that's right, as long as I don't cause trouble for you, Sanwa." Zhang Weijia rubbed his hands, and after hesitating, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Sanwa, how much did our Huaiqing earn this time? Can we have a wife?"

How many dollars? Let me know for sure."

Hearing what his third uncle said, Zhang Qing'an smiled. Zhang Qingping on the side pinched the corner of his clothes and peeked at Zhang Weiguo. He was relieved to find that his parents' attention was only on Yao Di. Yao Di said that he would not keep this money for his parents.

Still, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"How many third uncles go home and ask yourself. Calculating the time, they should be here soon."

Zhang Qing'an handed the bag of meat and vegetables to Wang Ailian: "Mom, cook some hard dishes. In the evening, invite the third uncle and fourth uncle's family, and then invite the sixth master to have a meal together. Third uncle, I brought the wine from last time, you come early

Come have a drink with my dad."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and take a look first."

After watching their third uncle go away, Zhang Qing'an's family returned to the house.

"Sanwa, how much money did you make this time?"

The first thing Zhang Weiguo did when he sat down was to ask his son about the business situation this time.

Zhang Qing'an didn't say anything, but took out a bag from the package at the back and put it on the table. When the bag was opened, there were bundles of banknotes, including ten yuan, five yuan and one dime. Zhang Weiguo and Wang Ailian looked at it.

I was stunned when I saw so much money.

"Fuck, close the door quickly."

After hearing what he said, Wang Ailian quickly closed the wooden doors on both sides and looked at the money on the table. This was a scene that he had never seen in his life and did not dare to think about it, so that his voice trembled: "Sanwa, this is so.

How much is it?"

Eleven eldest sisters...

"More than two thousand one hundred."

...Quiet... The old couple stared blankly at the money on the table... Until the money was put back into the bag by Zhang Qing'an, Zhang Weiguo and Wang Ailian's eyes were still following the bag.

Bang bang bang bang~

Zhang Qing'an counted over a hundred and handed it to Zhang Weiguo: "This is what I earned and belongs to our family. The rest belongs to my boss. I have to go to the bank to transfer it to him."

"That's right, that's right. I even forgot that the boss's money is also with you. Then you have to remit it to others as soon as possible. Don't make others wait in a hurry." Wang Weiguo was a little reluctant to part with it, so he breathed a sigh of relief and took the money.

More than a hundred, he counted one hundred and handed it to Wang Ailian, and pushed the remaining change to Zhang Qing'an: "You are doing big business now and have many places to spend money. We will save this hundred for you, and you can keep the rest to spend."

"

"Okay, I'll go to town to wire the money tomorrow."

Zhang Qing'an didn't refuse. He had a speed of more than 3,000 yuan, so it was not safe to leave it alone.

While they were making preparations to save money, Zhang Qinghuai and others finally returned to Zhangjiacun across the ten-mile river.
