Chapter 206 Reunion
After having lunch at my second aunt’s house, I went to my youngest aunt’s house.
After staying in the county town for one night, we headed towards Zhangjia Village.
Zhangjia Village.
At this time, most of the houses in the village were made of red bricks and tiles. At the entrance of the village, a group of little kids wearing new clothes were happily heading towards the commune.
The two little guys wanted to join the team when seeing so many people, but they held back because they came here to visit their grandparents.
The Zhang family now lives in a large red brick and tile house, which is much more magnificent than the original adobe and thatched house.
"Dabao, Xuan girl."
As soon as the two little guys ran into the yard, Zhang Fusheng shouted happily.
"Grandpa, grandma."
The two little guys happily rushed over and hugged him.
"I haven't seen you for half a year. You've grown taller."
Wang Kaihui said happily while looking at Zhao Xuanxuan in front of him.
"Grandma, these are the cakes and malted milk I brought for you."
Zhao Xuanxuan took out the gifts from her small backpack. The little one would remember whatever Zhao Yi gave to the elderly, and when the holidays came, she would put the things in Zhang Jing's box into her own small backpack.
The day before yesterday, I went to Zhao Gang's house with Zhao Peng and gave gifts to my grandparents.
Especially when they went to Master Liu's house, the two of them would bring some small gifts every time, which could make these old people very happy.
The two were brought into the house without being asked how they got there. As for Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi, they were forgotten by the two old men.
As soon as I entered the house and saw my cousin, I immediately took out the wrapped sugar paintings from their backpacks.
Only then did Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi walk into the yard.
Zhang Jun and Zhang Xiang walked up to the two men and greeted them with a smile.
"How did they teach these two little guys? It's so rare."
Liu Guiling couldn't help but give a thumbs up when looking at the two little ones. Her little one was only one month younger than Zhao Peng, so if there was food, she would have it first, and would only think of sharing it with her younger brothers and sisters if she couldn't finish it.
"They not only share things with their younger brothers and sisters, but also share good things with those they know well."
Chen Fen smiled.
When the two little ones were in the area, they often went to buy snacks. After buying them, they would go back to the restaurant and share them with Chen Jiao, Li Baoyu and others to eat together.
"Xiao Jing, tell your sister-in-law how you taught her to be polite and share."
When Liu Guiling heard the conversation in the yard, she knew that Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing had arrived, so she walked out quickly and asked.
“I didn’t teach them much.”
Zhang Jing shook her head, perhaps she learned it from herself and Zhao Yi.
Before opening the restaurant, the relationships with old friends who came and went frequently needed to be maintained. After getting the meat, Zhao Yi would take them with him to visit and give gifts. Over time, they probably learned that good things should be shared.
The performance of the two little guys was very popular with everyone, and they received a lot of red envelopes.
After receiving the red envelope, he quickly stuffed it into his little schoolbag.
“How much money did the restaurant make last year?”
Zhang Jia looked at Zhao Yi curiously and asked.
"I didn't calculate this. Xiaojing is the one who takes care of the accounts."
Zhao Yi smiled and responded that he had indeed not calculated the account, but he only knew that he had an income of about one thousand yuan per month.
"Brother, do you also want to open a restaurant in the county?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jun and asked.
"Without a source of meat, there won't be any business even if we open the business."
Zhang Jun shook his head.
In the county town, Zhang Jun only has a good relationship with Director Xiao, or because of the connections left by Zhao Yi. Zhang Jun and Liu Guiling have also been to Zhao Yi's restaurant many times and know that the reason for the good business is that the meat does not require a ticket.
Almost everyone who goes there goes for this benefit.
Zhang Jun has no ability to cooperate with others and doesn't understand the ins and outs of the matter.
"Life is good now, don't think about making trouble."
Liu Guiling interrupted.
Liu Guiling makes fake collars for department stores and shoe insoles for the supply and marketing cooperative, earning about 20 yuan a month. The couple earns about 50 to 60 yuan a month. Liu Guiling is very satisfied with her current living conditions, and of course she doesn't want Zhang Jun to mess around and ruin their good life.
The two elderly people at home do not need them to worry about them. The annual dividends from the village plus the big fat pigs raised by the two elderly people bring in more than one hundred yuan a year. Their lives now are much better than before.
"I'm just asking casually. Do you think I have that ability?"
Zhang Jun smiled.
"It took Xiaoyi a lot of effort and connections to get the family to where they are now. You guys, just do your current job honestly."
Zhang Fusheng interrupted.
Everyone nodded when they heard this. Indeed, their current life was all thanks to Zhao Yi.
"Dad, you can't say that. Although I have contributed a little, my brother and sister-in-law have also worked hard to make our life better. Even if I contributed, if my brother doesn't study hard, he won't be able to graduate from the department store.
Take my sister-in-law for example. She is busy at home every day but has no income.
My second brother and his wife have to do so much work every day and worry about many things. This good life is the result of the joint efforts of all of us. ”
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"Xiao Yi, what you said makes sense, but the most important point is that even if you give us ideas and point out the way forward, it won't work. Otherwise, we won't have a direction to work towards, so I agree with what Dad said."
Liu Guiling refuted Zhao Yi's point of view.
There are many people looking for jobs in the city now, but few have found a stable job, not to mention that their family’s household registration was originally in the countryside.
"What my sister-in-law said, even if we weren't here, it wouldn't be easy for Xiaoyi to hire a few people who can cook."
Chen Fen nodded in agreement with her sister-in-law's point of view.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. The happy thing is that everyone is living a good life now."
Zhao Yi changed the subject.
"We haven't had a drink together in a long time, so we have to enjoy it tonight."
Zhang Jun saw that Zhao Yi didn't like talking about this topic, so he changed the subject.
Hearing this, Zhang Jing and her two sisters-in-law went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Soon the dishes were served on the table one after another, and Zhang Jun took out the good wine he had brought to honor his father.
He poured a glass for Zhang Fusheng first, and then filled up the glasses for Zhao Yi and Zhang Xiang.
"The first cup wishes us good health and peace."
Zhang Jun picked up the wine glass, stood up and said.
"You are such a sweet talker."
Zhang Fusheng cursed with a happy laugh, and then everyone picked up their glasses and drank them all. Of course, Zhang Jing and the others and Xiaobutian drank champagne, which was quite popular in the department store supply and marketing cooperative during the New Year and other holidays.
"The second cup is to thank my parents for their hard work over the years."
Zhang Jun continued.
"Brother, do you often have banquets with Director Xiao? How come you are so nagging?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
"These are the opening words of blessing."
Zhang Jun nodded. His family had a big fat pig, and he could give ten kilograms of it to Director Xiao every year. Naturally, the relationship between the two families was better. Most of the time, Xiao Lei would take Zhang Jun with him when there were banquets.
