Parallel Rebirth 1980

Chapter 16 Family Banquet

My cousin's house has two thatched houses.

The old one belongs to the Zhang Wei family and the old couple, and the new one was built by Zhang Qinghuai and Huang Yumei when they got married. In rural areas, families usually build new houses when their children get married. You can't let the young couple live with the elders. How can you have a baby?

?

"Xiao Fei, your dad brought a lot of things when he came back from the county town~ Come home and take a look."

Zhang Youfei ran home after hearing what his neighbor said. Normally, he would have played for a while, but today was different. He heard that his parents had gone to the county town, and the toys in the county town were more fun than the other ones. When his father left, he wanted to make him obedient.

But I agreed to buy toys for myself.

In the old house, Zhang Qinghuai and his wife sat by the wooden board. Their table was given to the new house. The table in the old house was randomly modified with a wooden board and mud brick, but it can be used anyway.

The Zhang Wei family and the third aunt sitting across from each other stared at their son. The third uncle knocked on the table: "I heard from San Wazi that your kid performed well this time. He also told me how much money he made. Give it to your mother.

"

"Why."

Zhang Qinghuai took out a stack of money from his pocket and put it on the table. His third aunt's eyes lit up, she immediately took the money, took a mouthful of money and started counting.

"One yuan, two yuan, three yuan... eleven yuan, fifteen yuan five, sixteen yuan..."

"My dear, I have sixteen yuan and three cents, my father, how can I make so much money in just a few days?" The third aunt was so excited that she folded the money she counted with a handkerchief and stuffed it into her clothes.

.

"We bought some meat and some fine grains for some money. Actually, it was twenty yuan." Zhang Qinghuai looked at the old couple smiling and knew that Qing'an had not betrayed him. Fortunately, he had said hello to Qing'an, otherwise,

He was really blown up. As for his wife Huang Yumei, it would have been better if they didn't ask...if all the money was confiscated, how could he buy a bicycle?

"That's right, that's right. Follow Sanwa and do it well from now on. Don't just cheat and show off."

"I know, Dad."

Huang Yumei on the side nudged her husband twice with her elbow. Zhang Qinghuai reacted and said with a smile: "Dad, the meat we bought this time is also two kilograms. I'm thinking of taking plums back to Dashi Village tomorrow and taking a kilogram with me."

Let's go over and give the meat to Meizi's parents to try."

Dashi Village is three miles away from Zhangjiacun, in the opposite direction of the ten-mile long river. Compared with Zhangjiacun, it is only poorer but not rich. It is okay to have no conditions on weekdays. Now that she has made money, Huang Yumei wants to go home to see her parents and her own

Sister and brother.

"Go and go, why are you bringing so much meat? I don't even have enough to marinate these two kilograms of meat at home." The third aunt said, obviously very disapproving of her son's idea. It cost them a hundred yuan in gift to marry Huang Yumei into their house.

.

Zhang Qinghuai opened his mouth and looked at his father, while Huang Yumei lowered her head.

"Go, go, Yumei hasn't been back for a long time, so it's appropriate to bring a pound of meat back to show her respect." The Zhang Wei family waved their hands, and when their husband agreed, even though the third aunt was not happy, she couldn't say anything else.

"Dad~Dad, where are the toys you promised to buy me?"

The naughty boy Zhang Youfei swooped in with his wings spread like a penguin rolling in a mud puddle.

"Ah~ forgot, forgot, Xiao Fei, dad will definitely buy it for you next time." Zhang Qing promised while holding his son in his arms.

"No, no, you told me to sell pictures~ I want toys, I want toys..."

Zhang Youfei immediately quit and started rolling around like a scarab beetle rolling around on the ground after falling.

"Get up! Your clothes are going to be worn out again." The third aunt grabbed the baby with one hand and picked it up to prepare for the family service. Zhang Youfei grabbed the corner of Zhang Qinghuai's clothes and wouldn't let go.

"Dad, are you lying to me? Is there a toy hidden in this bulging place~"

Zhang Qinghuai's heart skipped a beat and his face changed drastically. He grabbed Zhang Youfei and ran outside: "You are so naughty. Dad was so exhausted that he even fell down. Who is it for?"

The slaps of slaps hit the white and tender buttocks, and a burst of crying instantly aroused the old couple's heartache. Although the third aunt usually beat the children, she mainly used to scare them. Did Zhang Qinghuai take this lightly?

It's so heavy that they can't bear to part with it.

"Huaiqing, why are you so crazy? The child is going to be broken by you."

The third aunt hugged Zhang Youfei, who was crying profusely, and held her in her arms, coaxing her heartily: "Oh, oh, don't cry, don't cry. Wait until tomorrow. Grandma will go to town to buy pictures for you. Don't cry, don't you?"

cry."

Zhang Wei's family was also shocked by their son. He couldn't beat his grandson randomly when he was naughty. He warned his son: "Qinghuai, don't beat your child like this next time. Yumei, you are the same, don't pull it off."

"I know dad, I don't want this little brat to cause trouble to you."

Zhang Qinghuai felt relieved when he saw that the old couple didn't pay attention to what You Fei said just now.

"Third uncle, aunt, cousin, sister-in-law, my dad asked you to come to my house for dinner." Zhang Qingxi poked his head.

"Okay, come right away."

"Then I'll go call my fourth uncle's house."

"Does your hand hurt?" Huang Yumei asked her husband in a low voice. She could see that the slap just now actually hit her husband's hand, and the child was just frightened and cried.

Zhang Qinghuai grinned: "What does this mean? If I'm discovered, my bike will be gone, and the money you paid to pay your respects when you go home will also be wasted."

Wang Ailian was busy around the stove, but she couldn't stop the smile on her face. The table in the room was not big but not crowded. Women in rural areas usually did not serve the table when they ate.

In addition to the third uncle and the fourth uncle, the village chief was also called over. Zhang Weiguo and others still respected the seventy-year-old village chief and gave up the throne to this elder.

"Small country, I'm afraid your family's food conditions are second to none in Zhangjiacun. The old man has benefited from it today."

The village chief sighed, and Zhang Weiguo smiled and poured wine for Zhang Junyi: "What did Uncle Six say? When I fell into the water when I was a child, Uncle Six helped me to fish it up, otherwise there would be no Sanwazi today."

"Hahaha~ You kid still remember this, but your dad was frightened at that time, and you guys were very naughty, and you gave your second brother and sister-in-law a lot of worries. It's a pity that the eldest baby was taken away by human traffickers.

.”

At this point, Qi Feng suddenly became a little depressed, and several juniors pricked their ears. They often wondered why they didn't see family members talking about uncle. Only now did they know that uncle was abducted by traffickers when he was a child.

"Third Master, I have something to ask you." Seeing that the atmosphere was gloomy, Zhang Qing'an picked up the wine and poured it for Zhang Junyi.

"Hey, Sanwazi has become successful now. Is there anything you need to ask me for advice?"

"You are an elder and have a lot of experience." Zhang Qing'an said with a smile: "I would like to ask what the national government pays attention to when doing business in today's society. Does it distinguish between petty bourgeoisie and capitalism and other restrictions?"

Compared to the previous life, doing business with seven people is considered petty bourgeoisie. If more than seven people do not work by themselves, it is capital. It is considered exploitation. In serious cases, you will be jailed. I don’t know if there is such a thing in this world, although I can see it from the processing factory in Changhe Town.

, he felt that the possibility was very small, but he wanted to be just in case.

Zhang Junyi shook his head: "To be precise, there are some. Leaders from all parties are now vigorously promoting the use of niche groups to lead the masses to get rich. There are supportive policies to attract investment and increase local employment rates. As for the restrictions you mentioned, I have never heard of them.

Capitalism, however, does not allow for group power. As long as private industrial enterprises do not create divisions and influence state power, there will be no big problem."

Hearing what the old village chief said, Zhang Qingan felt a lot more relieved. Although he had not officially opened a factory now, he was still speculating, which was easily reported in his previous life.

"Sanwa, your melon seed business is so profitable. It's much better than those of us who work in the fields all day long. Look at how hard your uncle Zhang was in farming when he was young. The root of the disease was left behind and he became hunched over and lost his basic skills at the age of forty.

We don’t want the next generation or the lower back to be in this land forever. Now that you have the ability to lift your third uncle and fourth uncle out of poverty, if you can, help other needy households in the village and support them.

Bundle."

During this period, many people approached the village chief, hoping to intercede through him. They saw the changes in Zhang Lao'er's family.

"Sixth Master, I don't want you to talk about this matter. I had such a plan myself, otherwise I wouldn't ask you these things." Zhang Qing'an patted the old man's hands like dry wood and assured: "I don't dare.

I said that I will make everyone in the village rich, but I will definitely do it if they are well fed, clothed and warm. In fact, I still need your help, Mr. Liu, for this matter."

"How can I help?"

Zhang Junyi was shocked when he received the guarantee, but when he heard Zhang Qing'an said that he wanted to help, he couldn't help but become curious again.
