Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

After separating from the aunt in the village, Hao Liang took Zhang Fei to a breakfast shop, sat down, and shouted to the boss.

"Boss, bring me a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of salty soy milk."

"Boss, you still have breakfast, it will be too late for us to buy things later." Zhang Fei asked looking at Hao Liang who was eating breakfast.

"It's just in time, we don't have much to buy."

"Who says no? Look, I made a list and there are a lot of things I want to buy." Zhang Fei took out a piece of paper from her pocket and said.

Hao Liang took the paper handed over by Zhang Fei and wrote a lot of things, including couplets, window grilles, lanterns, and even posters and calendars.

While Hao Liang was watching, Zhang Fei stretched out a hand to hold the steamed dumplings and started eating them too.

After Hao Liang finished looking at what Zhang Fei wanted to buy, Zhang Fei finished the basket of three steamed dumplings. Hao Liang could only order another basket. After eating, he went to buy something.

"Boss, we really don't buy things like couplets and wall calendars."

"No, just buy some food. We had a banquet a few days ago and there are plenty of food and other things at home."

"You can't eat those vegetables. It's been several days, and you still plan to give me the leftovers during the Chinese New Year. Buy some fresh ones back. Boss, please stop being so stingy during the Chinese New Year."

"Have you eaten at home these days? Aren't you just eating in the village? You have the nerve to go to other people's meals every day. They are just being polite."

"Why are you being polite? The main reason is that the people in the village are too enthusiastic and it's not good for me to refuse. Let's go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. In the morning, I threw away all your leftovers."

"Throw it away? Where's the one in the refrigerator?" Hao Liang asked again.

"Throw it away. Everything in the kitchen has been thrown away for you. Now that you have nothing to eat at home, you have to buy it even if you don't want to."

When Hao Liang heard Zhang Fei's words, he almost couldn't help but beat the troublesome foreign woman.

This was the dish he planned to eat at home and take back to Yue City. It was not the leftovers Zhang Fei mentioned at all. It was meat jelly and fish jelly made by asking the chef to make it for him.

What was in the refrigerator was soaked salted chicken, salted duck, and several bowls of braised pork. Zhang Fei actually said they were leftovers and dumped them.

But everything was gone. Hao Liang could only go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables. He didn't buy much, just one meal in the evening. Hao Liang also planned to start eating.

After buying some vegetables, Zhang Fei said to Hao Liang, "Boss, are you still Chinese? You don't know how to bargain. Last time I came here with those aunts, they bargained very well. Thanks to me just now, this

The food is half the price.”

"Thanks to you, I didn't expect that your status as a foreigner would be so useful, so I cut it in half, and all the grocery buyers agreed."

"The most important thing is that I am good at bargaining, and I learned a lot from the aunts in the village."

The two bought some melon seeds, peanuts and other things, and returned to the parking place. After Hao Liang put the things away, he was about to drive back.

"Boss, we haven't bought the fireworks yet. After buying the fireworks, you are going back. I will take people back in my car later, so I won't be able to put them off."

"What kind of fireworks should I buy? I'm not a child. Just go to the village and buy two firecrackers."

"I'll buy it, you take it back for me. I'm going to set off some fireworks tonight. Boss. I haven't set off any fireworks yet."

Hao Liang originally thought that Zhang Fei would just buy a few fireworks, but he didn't expect that she would buy a lot if Hao Liang's car couldn't fit them.

Judging from Zhang Fei's posture, he was trying to remove all the fireworks.

After Hao Liang got in the car, he said a few words to Zhang Fei and then went back. After arriving home, after moving the things he bought into the house, Hao Liang went to tell his uncle that he would come to Hao Liang's house for a reunion dinner in the evening.

When Hao Liang came out of his uncle's house, he saw several relatives rushing to Hao Liang's parents' house, apparently to collect debts.

They did not come to Hao Liang this time. After all, Hao Liang had already established his own business. This banquet was equivalent to announcing it to the world.

The only way to get the money owed is from Hao Liang's parents and Hao Jing. This is why the uncle asked Hao Liang to hold a banquet and pushed Meng Mengdi out to receive the guests.

Hao Liang had a casual lunch and was preparing to wash the dishes for the reunion dinner in the evening when Zhang Fei came back in his car.

But there was a tricycle behind her. There were also two oversized fireworks on the tricycle.

"Zhang Fei, why did you buy these two big guys?" Hao Liang asked after helping to carry two oversized fireworks into the house.

"Of course it will be released at night. If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have bought it and made me wait for so long."

"Have you eaten yet?" Hao asked again.

"Eat, I just ate at the house of an aunt just now. After I finish eating, I will buy these two big fireworks. Boss, what are you doing?"

"Prepare the reunion dinner in the evening. Come over and help. You don't have to go to other places to have dinner at night. Just eat at my house. People also want to have a reunion dinner."

Hao Liang warned Zhang Fei, fearing that she would go to another house to eat and drink again at night.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Liang's uncle asked for some money each and went home. The remaining money will not be asked for until next year's New Year's Eve. There is no hope this year.

When he went back, he was still cursing, and kept scolding Hao Jing for not being a thing. He defrauded these relatives of their money, and now they don't have to leave during the Chinese New Year.

And this situation will continue for several years until the debt is paid off before things can stabilize.

Maybe by the time the money is repaid, these relatives will be done with it. After all, the matter of borrowing the money has caused so much resentment.

After Hao Liang had prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, Hao Liang asked Zhang Fei, who rarely went to enjoy the meal, to invite his uncle to his home for a New Year's reunion. Now his uncle was alone at home.

After drinking, my cousin took Xuanxuan and Liu Hu back to Yue City. She might not come to pay New Year greetings until the second day of the Lunar New Year, so she happened to come over to spend the New Year with Hao Liang.

But Hao Liang didn't call his parents and Hao Jing to save himself from getting into trouble.

Hao Liang and his family have given the villagers another topic for next year.

After dinner, Zhang Fei said to Hao Liang, "Boss, where is my red envelope? People in your village said there are red envelopes on New Year's Eve."

"The people in the village lied to you. This red envelope is given to the younger generation by the elders. I hope the younger generation will be safe all year round. It is also called lucky money. Take it, you foreigner."

The uncle took out two red envelopes and handed one to each of Zhang Fei and Hao Liang. It was not much, only a hundred yuan. It was incomparable to Meng Mengdi's meeting gift.

"Thank you, uncle, let's set off the fireworks. I'll take out the fireworks from home." Zhang Fei put away the red envelope given by his uncle, thanked him, and went to move the fireworks.

"Uncle, why did you prepare a red envelope for Zhang Fei?"

"She, she asked the villagers early this morning about our New Year customs. In the afternoon, she said in front of me why she hadn't received a red envelope yet. It would be great if someone gave her one."

"She asked for it from you. She's so shameless." Hao Liang said in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? How can I be called shameless when a foreigner comes to experience our national festival? The old women in the village all praise this foreigner." The uncle cursed Hao Liang in a low voice.

At this time, Zhang Fei brought a big firework out from the side hall and shouted to Hao Liang and his uncle, "Boss, uncle, come and see the fireworks, I bought them specially."

"Go and help this foreign girl, haven't you seen him holding such a big firework?" The uncle said to Hao Liang. He helped Zhang Fei carry the big firework out.

"Uncle boss, give me the lighter and I'll make some." Zhang Fei put the fireworks away and said to the uncle.

When Zhang Fei lit the fireworks, Hao Liang also walked out of the house and watched Zhang Fei looking at the fireworks that had not yet exploded like a child. Hao Liang smiled unconsciously.

After a loud noise, a burst of fire shot up into the sky, then exploded in the sky, forming a colorful ball.

But it quickly disappeared into the sky like a flash in the pan, and the children in the village quickly saw the fireworks above Hao Liang's yard.

All of a sudden, groups of people came running over, playing with each other, holding in their hands small firecrackers bought from the shop with New Year's money.

Zhang Fei, who was standing next to Hao Liang, looked at the bright fireworks in the sky and said to Hao Liang.

"Boss, the Spring Festival here is great. If we had heard such a loud noise in our place before, we would have found a place to hide. Such a lot of noise heralds the beginning of disaster and war."
