Chapter 410: Sensation in Poxin Village

Longtan Town.

Poxin Village.

After breakfast, the wives of Poxin Village took the gifts they had prepared long ago and went back to their parents’ home with their husbands and children to visit relatives.

Parents in families with married daughters are very happy today because their daughters will bring their husbands and children back to her parents' home to visit relatives.

At Zhang Xiuping's parents' home, originally the three daughters-in-law of the Zhang family were supposed to bring their husbands and children back to visit relatives today, but none of them planned to go back today, but planned to go back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

The reason is very simple. Today is the day when their sister-in-law brings her son-in-law and children back to her parents' home to visit relatives. It is rare for them, the sisters- in-law and the younger brothers' wives, to see their sister-in-law. How can they bear to go back to their parents' home on this important day? The families of Ou Guohua and Ou Guofang have the same treatment as Zhang Xiuping. Their sisters-in-law and younger brothers' wives did not choose to go back to their parents' home to visit relatives today, but stayed to entertain the sister-in-law's family who were about to return to their parents' home to visit relatives.

From this small detail, we can see that as long as you are rich and powerful, everyone around you will revolve around you and all the rules can be changed for you.

In the morning, some curious people gathered at the entrance of the village, burning cigarettes and talking about the aunts and sisters who had returned to their natal families to visit relatives today.

"The bicycle that Jiumei and her husband were riding just now was a Phoenix brand bicycle, right?"

"It's a Phoenix brand bicycle. It looks quite new. It must have been bought not long ago."

"It seems that sister Jiu has married well. I saw that she has a lot of bags, so she must have brought a lot of things back to her parents' home!"

"She married well. Her husband works in the county forestry bureau and is paid by the government."

“…”

Although it is 1991 now, the influence of Forever and Phoenix brand bicycles is still strong. It is a very face-saving thing to be able to ride back such a famous brand bicycle when going back to visit relatives.

At this moment, the sound of a motorcycle came from a distance, and a Jialing motorcycle appeared in front of everyone.

Then it quickly passed by the crowd and drove towards the next village.

When the motorcycle went away, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

"Isn't that the daughter of A-Li Po from the next village?"

"She is the daughter of A-Li Po. I heard she married a rich man and even drives a motorcycle. It's amazing!"

"What does her husband do?"

"It seems he runs a brick factory. He's a big boss anyway."

"Does anyone know how much that motorcycle costs?"

"That's a Jialing motorcycle, it costs at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan!"

“So expensive?”

"My god, spending seven or eight thousand dollars on a motorcycle means you're really rich!"

“…”

In the early 1990s, although motorcycles were not as rare as in the 1980s, there were still only a very small number of people in rural areas willing to spend money to buy them. Up to now, the number of motorcycles in the entire Longtan Town has not exceeded the number of one palm, and they are still extremely precious.

Just as everyone was marveling at the motorcycle, two cars drove over from a distance.

The moment they saw the car, all the villagers present could no longer sit still and stood up.

It is true that cars are too rare in this era. Villagers can only see a car passing by when they go to Longtan Market if they are lucky. But now cars can also be seen in the village. How can people sit still? They all stretch their necks to look.

Soon, a car drove over and drove into the village.

Seeing this scene, many villagers present reacted.

"Sister Ping, it must be Sister Ping who is back!"

"Yes, I'm afraid only Sister Ping's husband's family can afford this car."

"Oh my god, two cars, I wonder if they are all Ping's cars, or if the two sisters Fang and Hua also have some?"

"Just go and take a look, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful car!"

"Well, let's go take a look together!"

“…”

As they were talking, the villagers swarmed towards the Zhang family.

…

Ten minutes later.

Zhang family.

The whole Poxin Village was in an uproar when the news came that A Pingmei was driving a car back to her parents' home, and almost all the villagers gathered around to watch the fun.

In this day and age when buying a motorcycle can cause a sensation in the whole village, driving two cars back to one's parents' home to visit relatives is not much different from driving two helicopters back to one's parents' home in later generations. Both are major events that will cause a sensation in the whole village.

Zhang Zhenfa was particularly generous today. His daughter and son-in-law brought a lot of New Year's goods, including more than ten or twenty kilograms of candy, biscuits, melon seeds, etc. He told his daughters-in-law to take out all these and entertain the villagers who came to watch the fun.

The villagers also provided Zhang Zhenfa with enough emotional value. They all praised his son-in-law and of course praised him for raising a good daughter. With such a capable son-in-law to help, their Zhang family will surely become more and more prosperous.

In short, all kinds of nice words were thrown at the Zhang family as if they were free, making Zhang's father, Zhang's mother and other people in the Zhang family very happy.

The villagers stayed at Zhang's house for more than ten minutes, cleaning off the dust on the two Santanas before tactfully leaving.

After the villagers left, Zhang's father said with a rosy face: "Old woman, hurry up and fry some dumplings. I want to have tea and chat with Yuntai."

Zhang's mother smiled and replied, "Yes, I'll be there right away."

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Mom, I'll help you."

Mrs. Zhang said quickly, "Pingmei, you sit here and warm yourself by the fire, and we will take care of everything else."

Mrs. Zhang replied, "Yes, it's a rare occasion for you to come back, so why would you need to do anything?"

Mrs. Zhang San smiled and asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'll go make some tea for you. Do you like stronger or weaker tea?"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuping knew that the sisters-in-law wanted to perform well, so she sat still and said to her sister-in-law with a smile: "Then let's have something lighter!"

After her sister-in-law and brother-in-law were busy, Zhang Xiuping looked at her father and said, "Dad, I see that we are still riding bicycles at home. It's time to change them."

Father Zhang asked, "What do you want to change?"

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Of course, I want to buy a motorcycle. With our family's financial situation, buying one or two motorcycles shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the four Zhang brothers lit up. Motorcycles of this era were super cool, and they had long wanted to buy one. However, the financial power of the family was still in the hands of their father. Although they were not short of money, it was only a few thousand yuan. When they wanted to use several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, they had to get their father's consent.

Given their father's personality, it was a bit difficult to get him to spend so much money to buy a motorcycle.

Therefore, none of the four brothers mentioned this matter, so as not to embarrass themselves.

However, it is different since this was said by my younger sister.

The four brothers all knew that their elder sister's (sister's) words carried a lot of weight with their father. Basically, as long as she spoke, their father would do his best to agree.

Sure enough, Zhang's father did not object when he heard this, but asked, "Xiuping, do you also think we should buy this motorcycle?"

Zhang Xiuping said: "You should definitely buy it. Compared to a bicycle, this motorcycle is ten or a hundred times better than a bicycle no matter what it is used for."

Father Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, since you think we should buy this motorcycle, then let's buy it. But there's no need to buy two, right? I think one is enough. After all, this thing is really too expensive. I heard that the Jialing motorcycle costs at least seven or eight thousand yuan a piece!"

Deng Yuntai smiled and continued, "Dad, there are so many people in my family, a motorcycle can be very useful. I don't say that we should buy one for each person, but we should at least buy two or three. This way, whoever needs one can drive it. How convenient!"

"Brother Tai is right. We should buy at least two or three."

As she spoke, Zhang Xiuping took out her carry-on bag, pulled out two bundles of RMB, handed them to her father and said, "Dad, this is a gift from Brother Tai and I to you. Use it to buy a motorcycle!"

Zhang's father took the money with a smile on his face, and immediately decided: "Okay, after the New Year, we will go to sign up for driving lessons, and when we pass the motorcycle driver's license, we will buy motorcycles. I will listen to you and buy three."

Zhang Shoujun was excited when he heard this: "That's great, I can finally drive a motorcycle. Thank you, sister, thank you, brother-in-law."

Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "We are all family, you are welcome."

Soon, Mrs. Zhang Da, Mrs. Zhang Er and Mrs. Zhang San all knew that the family was going to buy a motorcycle, and their faces flushed with joy. The better the conditions of their husband's family, the more face they would have when they returned to their parents' home.

Therefore, they were very grateful to their sister-in-law who made this happen and sponsored 20,000 yuan.

Mrs. Zhang Da and Mrs. Zhang Er were filled with emotion. They had been married to the Zhang family the longest. At that time, the Zhang family was in extremely poor conditions. They could not even get food, clothing, housing and transportation in the village. They lived a very poor life. Their parents-in-law even had no choice but to increase the value of their younger sister-in-law to a shocking level just to be able to find wives for their two younger brothers-in-law.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law was lucky and met a good family like the Deng family. Within a few years of her marriage, she became very successful and even brought her parents' family along with her.

Now, the Zhang family is the richest family in Poxin Village. They live such a good life that the villagers are so envious.

It can be said that without the sister-in-law, there would be no Zhang family today.

…

While eating rice and drinking tea, Zhang's father asked with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, how did you do in your final exam?"

Xiao Dong'er looked up and said proudly: "Grandpa, I got the first place in the whole grade, and the clan also rewarded me 1,000 yuan!"

When these words were spoken, the Zhang family was surprised at first, and then they all started praising him.

"Xiao Dong'er, you are amazing!"

"You actually got first place in the whole grade. That's great."

"Xiao Dong'er, your uncle will also give you a reward later."

“…”

Among the Zhang family’s brothers and sisters, none was good at studying. In addition, the family was poor at that time, so the Zhang brothers and sisters had low educational qualifications, and none of them finished junior high school.

By the third generation, their academic performance was mediocre and they were only in the middle of the class.

Now that Xiaodong'er has such excellent grades, it is normal for him to be praised by his grandparents and uncles and aunts.

Seeing that everyone was praising his sister, Dongzi, who was used to being ignored, turned his grief and anger into appetite. He ate with a mouthful of rice cake and a sip of tea, and his mouth was full of oil.

After a while, Zhang's father finally remembered his grandson and asked, "Dongzi, how did you do in the exam?"

Dongzi sighed like a little adult: "Grandpa, this is my sad story, please don't ask!"

Seeing her son was about to act funny again, Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dad, Dongzi only ranked 28th in the class."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Zhang family members all smiled when they heard this. There was no doubt that this achievement was inherited from their Zhang family's study gene.

Father Zhang laughed and said, "Dongzi, you should work hard next semester and get first place in the grade like your sister did."

Dongzi said sullenly, "I know, Grandpa."

He said this, but he actually knew in his heart that it was difficult to get into the top 20 in the class. It was absolutely impossible for him to get the first place in the grade like his sister.

After talking about the children's study problems, Zhang Xiuping looked at her brothers and asked, "Big brother, second brother, Xiaojun, Xiaoshan, I want to ask you, do you want to develop in Nanning?"

Zhang Shoushan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Sister, I want to go. Is there anything suitable for me to do in Nanning?"

Zhang Shoujun and his wife looked at each other and asked, "Sister, what can we do in Nanning?"

Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin also looked at their sister. They both knew their sister's character well. Since they were asked to develop in Nanning, there must be something suitable for them to do.

Zhang Xiuping said: "If you are willing to develop in Nanning, then I do have a way for you, but it is a bit hard."

Zhang Shoujun said: "Sister, what is the way? As long as there is money to be made, we are not afraid of hard work."

Zhang Xiuping said, "It's specially made for midnight snacks."

Mrs. Zhang was surprised and asked, "Midnight snack?"

Mrs. Zhang said with some lack of confidence: "Pingmei, our cooking skills are not very good, what can we make for midnight snack?"

Everyone else, including Zhang's father and mother, looked at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that they had not expected that Zhang Xiuping's suggestion would be to make a midnight snack.

Zhang Xiuping said: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry. If you want to make it, I can find someone to teach you and make some special delicacies."

Deng Yuntai smiled and continued, "The reason why Pingmei suggested that you go to Nanning for a midnight snack is mainly because my father plans to build a night market street in Nanning. When the time comes, there will be food from all over the country on this street, which will form a scale effect and the customer flow will increase dramatically.

With the flow of customers, as long as the food you make is attractive enough, you will have no worries about lack of business.”

The Zhang family was shocked to hear this.

Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask, "Yuntai, what does your father mean by setting up this night market street? Is he going to run a night snack business in Nanning?"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "My dad is not going to run a midnight snack business. Instead, he is going to build some shops to rent out to others to run midnight snack businesses. Anyway, if you, brother and sister-in-law, are not afraid of hard work and are willing to run a midnight snack business in Nanning, I will build a few shops for you to use for free. Doing business this way will definitely make a profit."

According to the information revealed to them by their father, his father was going to build hundreds of shops on this night market street and provide a few shops for free use by his elder and younger brothers-in-law, which could be considered as a way of taking care of them.

And this kind of care allows them to be self-reliant rather than providing them with direct financial assistance, which is equivalent to teaching people how to fish.

My wife has been married to him for more than ten years and has always been a good helper to him. It is only natural for her to take care of her brothers a little.

Zhang Shoujun said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, are you serious?"

The others were also excited when they heard this. According to what Deng Yuntai meant, they would be provided with shops in Nanning for free so that they could do business. This was a sure-fire business! Besides, that was Nanning, the capital of Guangxi. If they had the conditions to develop in Nanning, who would want to stay in the town to do business?

Zhang Xiuping laughed and scolded: "Of course it's true, would your brother-in-law lie to you?"

Zhang Shoujun immediately said, "Sister, I would like to go to Nanning to develop. When will I go?"

Zhang Xiuping said: "Not so fast yet. The shop is currently under construction and will not be completed until the end of the year at the earliest. If you want to do business, it will be at least after next year. I am telling you about this now mainly so that you can be mentally prepared.

In addition, you have to spend time learning how to cook. Big Brother, Second Brother, Xiaojun, Xiaoshan, each of you choose a dish, and you must not repeat it. And the dish you choose must be unique and suitable for a midnight snack. After you have thought it through, I will find a chef to teach you how to make it. "

Upon hearing this, the Zhang brothers began to discuss the matter with great interest.

Mrs. Zhang recalled the supper she had in the county town and asked, "Pingmei, I want to make that snail and duck feet stew. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Xiuping smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, of course you can. This snail and duck feet stew is naturally suitable for midnight snacks. If you are really interested in this special delicacy, I will ask the chef to teach you how to make it later."

Deng Yuntai has been in business for many years, and he is no longer the same as before. He continued, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, each of you should choose a delicacy to sell. It is best if you can complement each other. For example, my brother and sister-in-law sell this snail and duck feet stew, which is the best dish to go with wine. The guests who come here will definitely drink.

Therefore, second brother, second sister-in-law, Xiaojun and Xiaoshan, you can sell other snacks to go with drinks, so that you can meet the needs of the customers and improve your competitiveness.

Of course, if you don’t want to just run one dish, but want to run other dishes as well, that’s not impossible, but then you’ll have a lot to learn.

The most important thing is that this night market street has delicacies from all over the country. It is easy to stand out among the vast number of delicacies if you specialize in one thing. And if you only do one thing, things are not that complicated and it is much easier to do. "

The Zhang family nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Next, everyone brainstormed and discussed what kind of midnight snacks would be good.

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping also made some suggestions from time to time.

Finally, the four brothers preliminarily decided that Zhang Shouguo and his wife would run the snail and duck feet stew, Zhang Shoumin and his wife would run the grilled fish, Zhang Shoujun and his wife would run the grilled squid, and Zhang Shoushan would run the grilled oysters, which would be the main dishes of the four brothers.

In addition, we also serve a few side dishes.

After the four brothers had discussed it, Zhang Xiuping said, "Okay, that's settled. I'll find a master chef to teach you. You must learn well. There will be competitors for such delicacies. If you want to beat others in the competition, the taste must not be worse than others."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Ping, we will definitely study hard."

Hearing this, Father Zhang looked at his four sons and said, "For so many years, our family has never been divided. I originally wanted to wait until you four brothers were married, and then divide the family and let you live your own lives.

But now that Xiuping has provided you four brothers with such a good opportunity, I will divide the house among you before you go to Nanning to develop. The money you earn from selling midnight snacks will be yours. If you want to live a good life, then work hard. "

Hearing this, the Zhang brothers looked at each other in surprise.

Mrs. Zhang Dasao, Mrs. Zhang Ersao and Mrs. Zhang Sansao couldn't help but look at each other.

When it comes to dividing the family property, there is no daughter-in-law in this era who doesn't want to divide the family property. No one wants to have the pressure of the mother-in-law on their heads.

Although one still has to respect the mother-in-law after the separation, at least in one's own small family, the daughter-in-law can be the master of the house.

"Dad, are we really going to split up the family?"

"Dad, should we wait until Xiaoshan gets married before dividing the family property?"

"Dad, do you want to reconsider the matter of dividing the family?"

“…”

Father Zhang waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, a big tree branches out, and the branches branch out. You all have your own small families, and this family will be divided sooner or later. Now while you are developing in Nanning, everyone can do their own business, which will make it easier to divide it."

Zhang's mother didn't seem surprised at all. It was obvious that the old couple had discussed the issue of dividing the family property a long time ago, but Zhang's father only brought it up when the time was right.

Zhang Xiuping pondered and said, "Dad is right. We will have to separate sooner or later, so we might as well take this opportunity to do so."

The Zhang brothers kept silent upon hearing this, and the division of the family was settled.

Next, while his daughter and son-in-law were present, Zhang's father briefly explained his plan for dividing the family property, which was basically impartial.

After he finished speaking, Zhang's father asked, "You all have no objection to this division, right?"

"No problem."

The Zhang brothers and their daughters-in-law all expressed no objection.

Father Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, since you all have no objections, then let's settle this. I will invite the respected elders of the clan to come as witnesses. After the division, you all should work hard and live a prosperous life."

Seeing that his father was determined to split the family, Zhang Shouguo responded, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, we will live a good life and will not let you down."

Zhang Shoumin and Zhang Shoujun also expressed their opinions, saying that they would live a good life.

As for Zhang Shoushan, he has not married yet, so there is naturally no talk of dividing the family. His parents will divide the family property for him only after he gets married.

…

After staying at her parents' home for two days, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and younger brother's wife all went back to their parents' homes to visit relatives. Zhang Xiuping did not stay at her parents' home either, and also returned home with her husband and children on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Of course, those who went back together included Deng Changyuan's family and Deng Changdong's family. They all drove here together, so naturally they had to go back together.
