Chapter 135 Han Suijing is somewhat uneasy

On the other side, the man sitting in the living room, who was scolded by his second brother and covered in dirt, heard what the others were saying and said, "Don't worry about it. We can talk about it when we meet. I picked out some of the books you used to read."

"Oh, this is the only way." Han Suijing sighed and wanted to ask the brat to get the things back.

After all, this was a private matter that was difficult to talk about. Han Suijing didn't want Duan Yanzhi to hear all of this bizarre thing, so he put the microphone back into the phone with a bang.

What the hell! Who told him to do that?

Han Suijing felt a little uneasy at his brother's gloating laughter.

"Don't you have anything else to do in the Duan family? You'd like to make a conspicuous person like you be a groom 365 days a year."

Han Suijing sneered as Jianshuo walked over and took out a box of cigarettes from the other's trouser pocket. He took out a cigarette, put it on Duan Yanzhi's cigarette butt, took two puffs and then lit it.

The two were old comrades-in-arms who had known each other for many years. They were also the legitimate sons and grandsons of the Duan family, which was the leader of the three major business gangs in western Yunnan Province. They were definitely wealthy young men.

In his daily life, while other comrades were still using matches, he already had foreign lighters in his trouser pockets.

Often when the officials were in a meeting, they would inadvertently take it out and a small flame would pop out with a "click", surprising everyone present as if they were watching a magic show.

Duan Yanzhi's stern face was covered with some uneven stubble, and his unruly eyes narrowed as he glanced at his old comrade in front of him.

"Guess how many girls I met on blind dates when I went home on Sunday?"

"A slovenly, rough guy like you, are there any girls willing to meet you?"

Han Suijing smiled and then asked, "Why, are you here to show off that you finally got picked this time?"

"No, I still don't like it as usual."

Duan Yanzhi held a half-burned cigarette between two fingers of his right hand, exhaled smoke from his mouth, and couldn't help laughing, "To be honest with you, I didn't go at all! Guess what happened, on the way home, I heard that my uncle was also in Dali, so I asked someone to take the girl to meet my uncle."

"So... this time the girl's blind date partner turns out to be that lousy old uncle of yours?" Han Suijing was startled, then he suddenly realized that the last time this bastard deliberately took his uncle to a blind date because his family was pressuring him, but when he heard that the girl was about to get married, he used the excuse of going to the restroom and ended up climbing over the wall and running away.

His uncle was left sitting in the teahouse meeting the girl, looking confused.

Thinking of this, Han Suijing's mood suddenly brightened a lot.

"Did your uncle tell you about this girl's appearance and whether she meets the Duan family's standards for selecting a daughter-in-law?"

Duan Yan grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth. "My uncle asked someone to tell me not to go home for the rest of my life. Otherwise, if I see you once, you will definitely break my legs."

Han Suijing suddenly laughed unkindly.

"So this is a good thing! For some time, my mother won't introduce me to any random girls." Duan Yanzhi scratched his head with the fingers holding the cigarette, and his mood was as clear as the sky in Dali, comfortable and relieved.

"Your uncle has been deceived time and time again, and he still keeps you as his lackey. He will definitely take revenge at a critical moment in the future. You have to be careful."

"Humph!" Duan Yan was very happy. "You said my uncle is so smart, how come he always gets fooled?"

"He thought you came home from the army and invited him for a drink, but he didn't expect you to fool him every time. He is really stupid."

Duan Yanzhi suddenly laughed, and his deep voice slowly fell: "He is not stupid. After all, he is the head of the huge Duan family, and he is also the boss of the Hongtai Merchants, the leader of the three major merchant groups in western Yi."

"He's used to you, kid."

Han Suijing was very familiar with the Duan family and knew how ruthless and cruel the leader of the Duan family was.

But in fact, Duan Yanzhi, the influential uncle, was the same age as his nephew and was also an old bachelor. He was usually busy with the family business. It was a rare opportunity for him to receive a call from his nephew asking him to meet for a drink, so wouldn't he just go happily?

The two chatted for a while, and Han Suijing suddenly raised his eyelids coldly: "By the way, how is the situation in Baiteng Town?"

"Not very optimistic! According to the secret intelligence our family has, in addition to Baiteng Town, there are also signs of unrest in the four towns of Heshuo..."

Han Suijing's eyes were as deep as a pool, "They really dare to open fire, let them experience the power of the Kunqu army."

"In short, the situation is becoming increasingly serious, so I'm going home and turning back to the troops halfway." Duan Yanzhi changed his previous rebellious attitude and said sternly.

"I have already issued an order to gather the troops returning to Kun District to visit their relatives and make all preparations." Han Suijing is a brave and resourceful officer. At this moment, the soldiers can no longer stay at home and enjoy the love of their families.

In the past two days, he simply ordered the soldiers of the artillery company who were going back to their hometowns to visit their families to return to the army as soon as possible.

It seems that all soldiers on leave must be brought back to their posts immediately!

The two exchanged some views on the serious situation that was about to occur.

When Duan Yanzhi was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that when he came in just now, it seemed that Han Suijing was calling home with a very unhappy tone.

When he reached the door, he turned around and glanced at Han Suijing, "Who were you so angry with just now?"

"Well, my idiot brother did something really irritating..."

"What's the matter? Tell me about it." The grumpy boss turned gossipy in a second.

But Han Suijing would never tell him that. He waved his hand to let him go, saying, "It's none of your business."

…

After a week or so, Wang Ziru returned to her parents' home in Longwang Village with her family.

The Wang family was very happy to see their daughter, son-in-law and his family finally come back to visit them, and the whole family was working on arranging Wang Zonghao's wedding.

Lin Xiuying quietly told her daughter that Chen Pingping's parents had formally requested that the Wang family pay for some pork to be given to the Chen family for the wedding banquet.

But in the early 1980s, pork was very expensive, at least 1.05 yuan per pound.

Even if you buy a small live pig and slaughter it yourself, it will cost at least 200 yuan.

"Zonghao didn't come back from vacation?"

Wang Ziru recalled the last time she went to the county town, and her brother clearly objected to this: "The Chen family can't afford a banquet, are you trying to embarrass the Wang family and save their face?"

"Zonghao came back last Sunday, but as a son-in-law, he has no say. Besides, the Chen family deliberately waited for Zonghao to come home and called several Chen family members to put pressure on us. If we help them buy a pig, how can we afford it?"

Lin Xiuying's face was filled with worry. She and her husband Wang Dongsheng were so worried that they couldn't eat in the past two days. They saw that their child's father had lost weight.

"Tell the Chen couple that if they can get married, then get married; if they can't, forget it."

Lin Xiuying was so emaciated by her son's marriage that she was in great pain. She quickly pulled her daughter aside and whispered, "Pingping and Zonghao are sleeping in the same bed. If we say this now, the Chen family might chop your brother with a hatchet."

"Whatever they want."

If they like the bright bracelets, then give them a set.

Zhai Ximo brought his children to the yard to watch his father-in-law and brother-in-law work.

Faintly hearing the voices of the two women in the stone house, he couldn't help but frown and thought to himself, "Could it be that the Chen family still expects the Wang family to send them a pig?"

Zhang Kang's family is also going to hold a wedding banquet, so recently, the boy has been going to the mountains with his brothers whenever they have time.

During these days, they also hunted a lot of good things, including wild rabbits and wild pheasants, which are very valuable mountain products on the market. They caught more than ten of them.

Even the two brothers of the Zhai family picked up some good mountain products.

After a while, Wang Ziru stood at the door of the stone house and said to his father and brother in the yard: "Dad, brother, come in and have some tea. I'll tell you something."

Wang Dongsheng thought that the lady called them into the house because she had some good news or wanted to raise some money for Zong Hao's wedding.

He immediately put down the work in his hands, wiped his hands, went into the house and sat down to drink tea.

"Dad, I came here today to help you talk about the things at the village dock." Wang Ziru said while sitting on a chair by the door of the stone house.

"Grandpa! Please accompany me to the beach to pick up shells this afternoon." Baoer played with his beloved little windmill in his hand and dived into his grandfather's arms like a little cannonball.

Wang Dongsheng's thin face was full of smiles. He took his little grandson in his rough hands, picked him up and sat him on a high stool.

"You...are you trying to say that our family should take the lead in contracting the village wharf?"

"That's what I mean." Wang Ziru nodded and continued, "Yesterday I went to the commune to find Secretary Tang and talked to him about the contract for the Longwang Village wharf. He was very supportive of us."

"But our Wang family has been fishing for generations, and no one has ever done business. Sister, do you have any other options? Let's do some small business."

Wang Zongming standing aside had to smile.

The men in the Wang family had never done business before, and the thought of contracting such a large wharf in the village made their scalps tingle.

Wang Ziru knew that her father and brother had not yet gotten into business, but she had seen them selling fish and shrimp at the dock. They just lacked the opportunity and platform to practice.

She held the enamel pot and drank tea. "Don't worry for now. In fact, running a wharf is not as difficult as you think. As long as the method is right, it will be easier for the Wang family to survive in the future than for other people in the village."

Then, Wang Ziru told her family about her thoughts.

"We have finally made some connections, and we have some influential friends in the county. We can contract the wharf. The procedures are simple. While we are still at home, we can help you complete the procedures, and the wharf business can be officially opened."

"How much will it cost?" Wang Dongsheng asked.

"I asked Secretary Tang. If we want to build a seafood market in a port as large as Longwang Village, we will definitely need to build a pier to facilitate the docking of ships. At the same time, the seafood market we build will gather all the seafood vendors in the village and charge them stall fees."

"In the early stages of building the pier and seafood market, it may cost two or three hundred yuan."

Before Wang Ziru could finish his words, his father interrupted him, "Let's just go fishing honestly. The kind of pier or seafood market you're talking about is not something our Wang family can afford."

"Yes, sister, let alone the huge amount of money invested in the early stage, whether the capital can be recovered is also unknown," Wang Zongming smiled awkwardly and counted on his fingers, "Besides, do you think our family can afford 20 yuan now?"

"For Zonghao to get married, we have to borrow money from several relatives. It's not even the fishing season this year, and if your brother gets married at the same time, the family will be tied up." Wang Dongsheng shook his head and waved his hands, not even considering the vision his daughter described.

Zhai Ximo sat by the other door of the stone house, drinking tea silently. He knew nothing about doing business, but he also supported his wife in helping his father-in-law and his family to live a better life.

But he felt that his wife was too enthusiastic about the attitude of his father-in-law's family.

While the family was discussing important matters, Chen Pingping ran back to tell her parents that the Wang family's daughter and son-in-law had returned to Longwang Village.

The three members of the Chen family hurried to the Wang family under the pretext of drinking tea.

Chen Pingping's mother deliberately dragged a chair to sit next to Wang Ziru and smiled, "Ziru, I know you haven't been back to your parents' home for a few days, and I miss you a lot."

"What does auntie want me to do?" Wang Ziru's face was indifferent.

"Now that the Chen family and the Wang family are getting married, it's a big happy event. As a sister, you must be very happy." Pingping's mother said with spit flying all over her face, and then changed the subject, "Look, Zonghao is your brother, and the wedding date is not far away. As a sister, shouldn't you also express your gratitude?"

"What does Auntie mean?"

"Well, I'm not going to make things difficult for you two. I know your husband must have brought some money with him when he came back from the army to visit his family! You should give some to help your parents. Your father must be worried about you. Uh, let's all chip in. We have to buy two pigs for the banquet, right?"
