Chapter 151 Zhang Jing Returns
After spending the New Year at his second aunt's house and staying for another day at his youngest aunt's house, Zhao Yi returned to the area.
During this period, Zhao Yi was invited to visit the homes of Li Chao, Wang Jianguo, Section Chief Wang, Li Mingzhu, or Li Baoguo in turn.
Until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
Zhang Jing and two little ones appeared in the repair shop of the department store.
The two little guys, wearing new clothes and cotton shoes, happily ran into the repair shop and hugged Zhao Yi and acted coquettishly.
Zhang Jing walked into the repair shop and sat next to the stove.
"Boss, Kyoto is really big."
Zhang Jing said with emotion.
"That's for sure."
Zhao Yi smiled.
The two little ones also chattered about where Aunt Su took them to play and took photos.
Taking photos is not cheap nowadays. A one-inch photo costs 48 cents.
A five-inch photo like the one Zhang Jing showed Zhao Yi cost 1.2 yuan if it was taken, but only one yuan per photo if taken in a photo studio.
Zhang Jing handed Zhao Yi seven or eight photos, all of which they had taken in various parks and squares.
People usually go to photo studios to take photos, and rarely ask people from the studio to come out and take photos.
However, some people have cameras at home and go to photo studios to develop photos, which is cheaper.
However, there are very few families who can afford cameras nowadays. They can only be found in big industrial cities such as Shanghai, Kyoto, and Shenyang.
"Su Hong's wedding was really lively. She invited more than 20 tables and even had a chef come to cook the food."
Zhang Jing said happily.
Soon the department store was closed. A group of sales clerks passed by the repair shop and saw Zhang Jing, and immediately walked in.
"What is Kyoto like? Is it the same as the murals in our department store?"
"Yeah, is it cold in Kyoto?"
Several people immediately surrounded Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing happily told everyone what she had seen and heard.
Everyone was envious after hearing this and wanted to visit Kyoto if they had the chance in the future.
When Li Chao saw Zhang Jing coming back, he didn't mention inviting Zhao Yi to his home for dinner as soon as he walked in.
"sister in law."
Li Chao smiled.
"Uncle, we brought gifts for Guoqing and my little sister."
The two little guys hurriedly began to rummage through their small schoolbags and took out the things they had bought in Kyoto. These were bought at Kyoto's overseas remittance mall, and there were many foreign toys in it.
The things sold in Qiaohui Department Store are rarely seen on the market. For example, cameras are not found in ordinary department stores.
Li Chao couldn't help but admire the two little guys as they generously took out their toys. They will have many friends and will make people care about them from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Chao took the gifts, touched the two little guys' heads with a smile, took out two red envelopes and handed them to the two little guys.
The two were so happy to receive the red envelopes that they quickly handed their red envelopes to their mother Zhang Jing.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight. Brother Yi must not have prepared so much food when he just came back."
Li Chao invited with a smile.
After talking to Zhao Yi, Li Chao took the gifts for the two little ones and went back home.
Within a few minutes, Peng Yiju and Li Fang came over with their children.
Start chatting with Zhang Jing.
"Have you heard that Old Lady Zhao has become taciturn now? She used to be the one who talked the most when she returned to the village."
The three of them chatted from Kyoto to the village.
Old Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yi are from the same family, but no one knows how many generations have passed between them. They are relatives of Zhao Laowu and his branch, and she is Zhao Laowu's aunt.
In the past, he looked down on the five Zhao brothers, thinking that their parents died early and that the eldest brother, Zhao, was the only one in the family to raise the two youngest brothers, and he felt that he was not capable of bringing them up.
Now the five brothers of the Zhao family are all married and have children. His son and daughter-in-law have been married for four or five years and don’t even have a granddaughter. He feels that he can’t even hold his head up in the village.
Nowadays, people in the village no longer gossip, but secretly pray to gods and Buddhas all day long.
"Why don't you ask your son and daughter-in-law to come to the district hospital for a checkup?"
Zhao Yi interrupted.
“That’s what we said, too.”
Li Fang smiled.
Zhao Yi remembered that his family had grandsons in his previous life.
After Li Fang and Peng Yiju left, Zhang Jing walked towards Master Liu's house with some gifts. As soon as the two little guys arrived at Master Liu's house, they immediately became very well-behaved and spoke very sweetly.
The two old men laughed out loud.
We didn't prepare to leave until the evening.
"I'm about to cook, where are you going?"
Master Liu asked.
"Grandma, we are going to Uncle Li Chao's house for dinner. He and my dad have already agreed."
Zhao Xuanxuan said quickly.
"Come to my house for dinner tomorrow. You can't agree to someone else's dinner. I bought a chicken. We haven't eaten together for a long time."
Master Liu said, holding Zhang Jing's hand.
"Got it, Master."
Zhang Jing nodded.
Leading the two little ones, they came to the repair shop, where Zhao Yi was chatting with Li Mingzhu.
"aunt."
The two little guys immediately ran to Li Mingzhu and hugged her thighs.
"Dabao, Xuanxuan, is Kyoto fun?"
Li Mingzhu squatted down and touched their little faces and said.
"It was fun. Aunt Su took us to the park and we also went to a big restaurant for dinner. That restaurant was bigger than a department store."
Zhao Xuanxuan chattered.
"Here, here is the red envelope that auntie gave you."
Li Mingzhu quickly gave two red envelopes to the two little ones.
After chatting for a while, Li Mingzhu waved goodbye and went home.
Only then did Zhao Yi lead the two little ones to the steel plant’s staff building.
Li Chao became a driver at the steel mill and was allocated a house there that was bigger than the one at the textile mill. Because Li Chao's position as a driver was rather special and he had a family, the house he was allocated was similar to that of cadres.
When we arrived at Li Chao's house, Wang Jianhua had already arrived with the children.
Seeing Wang Dong, the two little guys handed over the toys they had prepared.
Wang Jianguo quickly handed red envelopes to the two little ones.
The two of them received more than ten dollars today.
Zhao Yi had already given them red envelopes when he came here to eat at home, so Zhang Jing did not give them any red envelopes.
After dinner and chatting for a while, the family returned home.
"Boss, I saw some places in Kyoto start small businesses on the roadside, and those red armbands didn't do much. When do you think we can start small businesses in our area?"
After returning home, Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
For example, many children in Kyoto do not have to go to the countryside, and many of them have returned to the city. There are not so many jobs in factories, and they failed to get into university. They are too embarrassed to ask their families for pocket money when they want to use it.
It’s okay if there are few children in the family, the parents will give it to them no matter what.
But there are many brothers and sisters in my family, and the family income is just enough to support our living. How can I get any pocket money? I have to find a way on my own.
All I could do was trade bills or sell some food.
"We still have no news at all."
Zhao Yi shook his head. There are many guerrilla fighters now, selling directly on the roadside.
