Zhang Guoqing, a 21st-century orphan, and his pregnant wife, Zhou Jiao, were working hard for their future when a massive inheritance suddenly fell into their laps. On their way to the hospital for...
The pioneering work of the three Ping An brothers was undoubtedly a sensation in that era.
That night, the two televisions played until the TV programs ended, and the yard was crowded with people. It would be more accurate to say they came to drink tea and chat rather than watch TV.
Not to mention the beaming Miao Lishan who was overjoyed as she served melon seeds and candies to treat people, even Zhou Jiao was proud of her son.
With her family's financial resources, even buying twice as many televisions and motorcycles would be a drop in the bucket. But the results achieved by her children's own hands were different.
She always liked to keep a low profile, simply because she was worried that the world wouldn't allow a tree to stand out in the forest. But this time, the children did something quite scheming.
Whether it is assembly or modification.
She had long known that these superficial achievements were absolutely possible given the children's knowledge and the right conditions. She was even more pleased that:
——The children used their abilities to consider all aspects seriously.
name?
They showed the talent they always have.
profit?
They legitimately seek profit for their families.
future trouble?
I'm leaving for school tomorrow and the TV will be sent back to my hometown.
The remaining motorcycles, due to the successful generator conversion, were taken to the relevant departments for "dissection" along with the drawings. Although the cash reward was declined, at least one motorcycle was turned into two.
The children have truly grown up.
This time, Zhou Jiao truly felt a mixture of emotions—a little happy, yet a little nervous.
Zhang Guoqing understood her feelings very well.
Yesterday, the baby was still in their arms and they had to worry about everything for him. Now that he can be independent, it seems that he, as the father, is no longer necessary.
After the couple talked to each other, they thought about it and found it very funny.
I have always been looking forward to them growing up, but when they really grow up, I can't bear to let them go. I wonder how I will feel when they get married and have children?
Now that her grandchildren have assembled a beautiful TV, Miao Lishan dislikes the original nine-inch TV at home and has forgotten the excitement she felt when she first owned it.
Watching my son-in-law pack up the other one and prepare to leave, I almost asked him to switch it. It would be so festive if both of them were red.
However, she didn't ask for this in the end.
If nothing else, it was because of her grandchildren's filial piety and her son-in-law's love that she couldn't bring herself to say these words.
Zhang Guoqing had no idea what his mother-in-law was thinking. He happily refused the help of the guard Xiao Zhu and happily got into the car carrying the TV.
Huang Xiaomi had never seen her third cousin get nervous. In her memory, no matter what happened or what happened, he always seemed calm and composed in his presence.
"Third cousin, what treasure is this?"
Zhang Guoqing smiled when he heard this and patted the box. "What a great treasure! The kids spent their own money to buy the parts for their grandparents and just assembled this TV."
Huang Xiaomi blinked. This was a long sentence and she needed to savor it carefully.
"Hey, are you stupid?" Zhang Guoqing cleared his throat. "I wrote it all in the letter. Give it to my parents and they'll know what's going on."
"oh."
Zhang Guoqing looked at her worriedly, "Is it okay to leave it in your duty room? Don't lose it, you can't buy it."
Huang Xiaomi nodded subconsciously, then reached out to stop him, "Wait, Third Cousin, are you saying this is a TV the kids installed themselves?"
Zhang Guoqing raised the corner of his mouth and smiled modestly, "It's not worth mentioning. They were just joking, but the quality and appearance are much better than those on the market."
Huang Xiaomi laughed so hard at his insincere tone that she was speechless for a moment and could only give him a thumbs-up. "Brother, you're so fake!"
A few days later, this unique TV arrived in the hands of Zhang's father and mother after traveling a long distance. It is conceivable that after reading the letter, the old couple was shocked.
But Zhang's father had never been one to show off. After the wars of the early years and the chaos of the previous decade or so, he believed more than anyone that wealth should not be displayed publicly.
For example, his privately hidden family fortune has never been revealed for decades, except for Zhang's mother and Zhang Guoqing who knew about it at the time.
For example, when he learned about his youngest daughter-in-law's family background, he didn't even say a word to his other two sons.
At this moment, he still chose to ask his family members not to spread the news. He couldn't hide it, and he couldn't say that it was assembled by his grandchildren himself. He could make up any excuse he wanted.
In his opinion, his grandsons are very talented, so it’s better not to let anyone pay attention to them.
He is not worried because Brother Zhou will handle the big picture, but what if news leaks out and his closest relatives and friends repeatedly ask the children for help with small matters?
Don’t be fooled by what his eldest son said in the letter. The children only bought a few parts and it didn’t cost much money. The silly boy was just comforting him and his wife.
Even if he didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, how could anyone afford such a large mirror (TV display)? He wondered how many connections had to be made.
help?
How to collect money?
Don’t help?
To offend people for no reason.
After hearing what her husband said, Zhang's mother nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
"Do you know what to say?"
Mother Zhang raised her chin proudly and waved her hand. "Why can't you say it? These parts are so expensive, more expensive than buying a new one. Let's see who dares to speak up!"
With a "Puff", Zhang Dad laughed out loud, "Okay, say whatever you want."
"Don't think about these things. Think about it. Are we going to have grandchildren? Dad, I always thought that having a filial son was enough in this life. Hahaha..."
Father Zhang followed up her words and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that even our little grandson would start to be filial to us, right? Don't tell me, just thinking about it makes me laugh."
"Then do you want to show off to Xiaowu's uncle?"
Father Zhang glared at her with a smile, "You old woman, you really hold a grudge. What a pity, why is there no electricity in the village?"
Zhang's mother was so happy that she clapped her thigh and laughed.
They'd been married for a lifetime, so how could she not understand her husband's feelings? Although the old man hadn't said how much he hated his eldest brother constantly nagging about his grandson's surname being Zhou, that didn't mean he wouldn't get back at him.
Father Zhang looked at his wife, who was laughing silly, and shook his head. "I was just joking. I never argued with him. He doesn't understand at all."
Zhang's father knew his brother very well. It had been fine in the past, but now the gap was huge, and he felt bad, so he could only find fault with this matter.
When I married my youngest daughter-in-law, I had mentioned to him that Old Mrs. Zhou wanted to adopt a child with the surname Zhou if she had more children in the future.
He still remembered that the eldest brother nodded and said it was no big deal. He couldn't let Brother Zhou's family line be cut off. Whether he was adopted or not, he was still the Zhang family's child.
But he really can't use these words to confront the boss now.
Forget it, think more about the good things in the past. We are old now, so old. We should be more humble to each other. Who knows if we can still be brothers in the next life.
