"Grandpa, great-grandpa, uncle grandpa, we are back from grandma's house." Several children shouted loudly. Before they came in, cheers were heard from afar. Knowing that the children had returned home, Dad Zhang was very happy. He stayed at his in-laws' house for a full five days. The house was not lively without the children, and he was really not used to it.
A lot of people came to the door, yes, even the two sons-in-law came back. I guess what happened today has spread to the whole county, and the child is worried and came back to check.
Father Zhang looked at them with a smile, "Why are you all here? Aren't you going to work? That incident is over. Since my two daughters are here, go to the fifth room to find your mother and help your mother and sister-in-law clean up the house. Jiaojiao's grandfather and her mother will be here soon. Chunming, remember to go home and see your father. I heard him talking about you yesterday. Xiaobin and your brothers, go in and see if you can help." After Father Zhang finished speaking, he paced behind Uncle Zhang to go to his house to get the roe deer meat.
Everyone looked at it and followed the eldest brother into the yard to listen to what Xiaowu had to say. The children's cries also welcomed Zhang's mother and Zhang Guoqing out. Knowing that guests would be arriving soon, they each went about their own business. Zhang Meili asked Zhang Chunming to go to her father-in-law to say hello first. She would not go today and would bring the children over tomorrow to visit her parents-in-law. She asked him to see if they had anything to do and to talk to them about the new yard and pick a day for the warm-up. After her husband left, she took her sister back to the west wing to see Jiaojiao.
Zhang Chunming and his friends came back in a hurry, without bringing anything with them, as they had to go back to pick up their child later. His Yaya was still in the nursery. Seeing that there were many people in the yard, he knew there was no need for him to go back, so he said hello to everyone and headed back home.
His father lives with his eldest son, just a few steps away from the village entrance. The eldest brother's nephew also saw him just now. He went over to talk to his father about buying a house to make him happy. By the way, he also wanted to hear what happened at noon. The county town is in chaos now. The power of the golden doll is too great. It is said that Zhou Jiao's words intimidated thousands of people. How come he didn't realize that his younger brother's wife is so capable?
Zhang Chunming's eldest brother, Zhang Chunjiang, also lives in a blue brick house. It's quite large, though smaller than the old Zhang family's, except for the backyard. It's quite conspicuous in the village. His old house was built by Zhang Chunming's father, and it's quite old. As soon as he walked in, he saw his father drinking tea in the yard, so he didn't have to go out to look for him. The old man was really something, not afraid of freezing in the yard even in the cold weather, and there was no shelter at all.
"Dad, you didn't go to work today. We heard about something big happening at noon in the county town, so we asked for leave and rushed here. What happened? I was at their house and it was difficult to ask in detail." As he said that, Zhang Chunming snatched the tea from his father and drank it first. The old man liked to drink tea, and he often went to many people to look for a little good tea. He could not taste any flavor, it was very bitter, not as good as sweet water.
Zhang Chunming's father looked at his youngest son with a smile. His son was no worse off than others. He was the only one in the village who could afford to live in the city, didn't have to work in the fields, and married a woman he knew well. The couple worked in the city and often came home to visit. Their grandchildren were sensible and well-behaved, and all three were a sight to behold. The youngest son and his wife were the most filial and kind. His wife constantly worried about them, fearing they would be bullied in the city. But he said, there was no need to worry. Even though the three Zhang brothers were now working in the fields, perhaps all of them were working in the city. Zhang Xiaowu alone was a remarkable figure. With a wife like that, he was worried about not having a job. Ordinary people would probably look down on him. This boy had the three Zhang brothers to support him in the village, and he was the most fortunate of his sons. As the youngest, he never missed out on school. When he grew up and married the woman he chose, they packed up and went to work in the city. They had three sons and a daughter, and they had never suffered hardship.
"Chunming, your little brother's wife is really not simple. I really misjudged her before, and mistook a tiger for a sick cat. You were not at the scene. Those people were densely packed at the foot of the North Mountain, more than the people watching movies in the village. They all gathered at the gate of Zhang's house. I felt a chill in my heart when I saw it, and my hands and feet were numb. Do you know what the one from Xiaowu's family was like? She just stood there with a sullen face and watched the fool from the Zhou family curse silently. She just stared at him quietly and silently. Her momentum was greater than that of the secretary of the commune. Later, she said a few words directly, and everyone in the audience was listening to her. Just think about it, even a thousand flies would buzz loudly, but At that time, everyone was really quiet. Everyone was quiet at the time, but after hearing what happened, the whole audience was stunned. This woman is really capable. She is so young and not afraid at all. Why didn’t I realize she is so powerful before? Even Xiaowu can’t compare to her. I have lived for so many years and have never seen a young wife as powerful as her. What she said was very well-organized, without a single word of nonsense, and every word was heartbreaking. She said that she had never learned to use bad language, and her upbringing would not allow her to do so. But it was not a bad language. This time, a group of people will fall. It depends on what she means. The Zhang family is really lucky to have such a young wife. She is not simple. "
Zhang Chunming listened and asked curiously, "Dad, did you know Jiaojiao's grandpa and mother were coming? You know what, when they show up, a bunch of people are going to fall down. I just heard they said they'd be here this afternoon. I've known she's capable for a long time, otherwise Xiaowu would have gotten a place to join the army, but he didn't go just for her. My brother-in-law looks easy to talk to, but he's actually quite arrogant and has his own ideas. He only listens to Jiaojiao if she says anything."
The old man kicked him in frustration, pointed at him with his finger, and said angrily, "You silly boy, why don't you understand what I mean? How did I know her grandparents would come? I want you to understand that if she is treated leniently this time, the whole village will owe her a favor, and this business will be profitable.
As for the military enlistment quota, others want it, but Xiaowu and his wife don't. Xiaowu is so cunning, will he join the army? Xiaowu still needs to join the army, are you stupid? If he joins the army, can he marry such a young wife? She doesn't even look down on soldiers. Her grandfather is a general. Even if her grandfather didn't come to see her, she only needs to talk to someone casually and they will give her face. She only needs a word. Only the Zhou family has a bunch of fools who are short-sighted and ask for money and things and hide it from her. Jiaojiao knew it a long time ago, but she doesn't care about those things at all. She doesn't care about those material things. She cares about the future, Xiaowu's future, do you understand? After watching her speech today, I can see that she is scheming. The Zhang family is really prosperous. With such a daughter-in-law behind Xiaowu, you see, maybe you will all benefit in the future.
Those idiots in the Zhou family really treat her like a fool. If they buy her a good job, what watches and bicycles can compare to working in the city? She really doesn't care about material things. The couple cares about reputation and future. For Xiaowu's future, they are smart. Power is a good thing. He is a smart person. If you have any problems in the future, consult them more often. Everyone says your father is smart, but he is still no match for her. He plays with the upper class.
"Dad, haha, I know what you mean, but I'm just like this, and it's no use learning anything. But the couple are both honest people, very righteous, and they treat me as their own family. This time, there was a large yard for sale in front of Meihao, and we went to see it, but we didn't have enough money. Before I could say anything, Xiaowu heard about it from Meihao yesterday morning, so he went home, got the money, and came directly to the factory to give me 300 yuan to use first, and buy the large yard first. If you have any difficulties, remember to find him. They are not in a hurry to get the money, and it doesn't matter if they pay it back in two or three years. But they can't let their nephew down, so they will talk about paying it back when they have the money, so that I can rest assured and tell him how much is needed. Don't you think they are righteous?
I came here to talk to you about the house. It's quite big, and it'll be a good place for my children to live when they grow up and get married. I'll go to transfer the ownership the day after tomorrow, and I plan to move this week if I don't have work. There's not much to move, actually. The yard will be occupied by two old people. They'll take their food and clothes to their son's place in the provincial capital, and leave everything here. Can you tell me when we can have the housewarming wine, and then we can all get together."
"Good boy, fools have their own luck. I'll ask someone to take a look, and then I'll go back to the city and tell you directly. If there's nothing else, go to your father-in-law's house to help. Then you still have to rush home. Isn't Yaya in the nursery?"
The old man was also happy. With Xiaowu helping the village buy a big yard for his youngest son, he was relieved. Last year, when the child's mother was hospitalized, it was all the money paid by the youngest son, and the youngest daughter-in-law took care of her inside and outside. The sons and daughters-in-law didn't say anything about paying back. He planned to deduct the money directly when distributing food rations at the end of the year. He and his wife raised everyone. Why should the youngest son spend money and the youngest daughter-in-law spend effort? Everyone said that the youngest daughter-in-law was fierce, but he just had his eyes on her. It's not wrong to be fierce with outsiders, but those who rebel against their own family are the ones who spend money. When the child's mother was hospitalized, who would have thought that it was this fierce young daughter-in-law who took care of her day and night, both at home and outside, and she lost a lot of weight in two months. How much help did the in-laws help?
Zhang Chunming listened and saw that it was indeed getting late. "Then, Dad, I'm leaving first. When we get our house in the city ready, I'll take you and Mom to live there. Meili asked me to ask if you need anything. She and the kids will come over tomorrow to take care of you. We're also coming for Xiaowu's son's third birthday tomorrow. As for Mom, I won't look for her. It's too much trouble to explain to those old ladies."
The old man shook his head. "Nothing is lacking. Just live your own lives well. Tell Meili that your mother and I have nothing to lack. Now, go and do your business. If you have any problems, come to me."
