Installing a telephone now costs five thousand yuan, which is more expensive than luxury goods, so Zhang Weifang was a little reluctant. However, since Lu Shi strongly requested it, she agreed. After all, a telephone is a necessity.
The red digital phone was a bit retro and cute, with a seven-digit phone number. As soon as it was installed, Zhang Weifang called Zhang Weiren's home.
After a while, he came over. The two families lived very close to each other, living in a row in front and back. Zhang Weicun's building was less than a hundred meters away, making it very convenient for the siblings to move around.
However, although they live very close to each other, they rarely go to each other's homes. Everyone is at work during the day and their schedules are very tight, so they rarely disturb each other unless necessary.
Zhang Weiren saw the phone number from his elder sister's home and said with a smile:
"Sister, your house should have been installed a long time ago."
Zhang Weifang felt bad about spending 5,000 yuan at once:
“I just think it’s a bit expensive.”
Zhang Weiren shook his head in disapproval:
"Sister, money is earned to be spent, don't be reluctant to spend it. You know the mobile phone, right? It costs 30,000 yuan!"
Zhang Weifang curled her lips:
“Luxury goods, I can’t afford them.”
Zhang Weiren did not give up and talked to Lu Shi about the Santana sedan. Private cars had begun to appear now, and his car was a black Santana, which had good performance and configuration in all aspects, so he kept recommending it to his brother-in-law.
The current Santana on the market costs about 200,000 yuan. With Zhang Weiren's help, he can go for the internal price of 130,000 yuan. Lu Shi was very tempted when he heard that.
Zhang Weifang is prone to motion sickness, so he is not interested in cars. Besides, what's the point of spending all his money on a car? If he doesn't live in the family, what's the point?
Now that I don’t have to travel far, I can easily ride a bicycle around the city.
Seeing that Zhang Weifang disagreed, Lu Shi gave up the idea, but he set his sights on the motorcycle again.
Today's motorcycles are tall, heavy, and not cheap, but they are much cheaper than cars.
Lu Shi took a fancy to an imported Honda 125, which cost a whopping RMB. Seeing that Lu Shi really wanted it, Zhang Weifang made up her mind and bought one for him.
After buying the motorcycle, Lu Shi was excited for as long as Zhang Weifang felt heartbroken.
Lu Shi was as happy as a child, riding his bike around. He first went to Hu Zi's unit to show off, and then went to the store to show it to everyone.
In May, Zhang Weifang received a call from home. Zhang Weibao told her that his father was seriously ill and asked her and her siblings to go back quickly.
Zhang Weifang's heart skipped a beat. Zhang Jiuyun had always been in good health, so how could he suddenly fall ill? She didn't dare to think too much about it, but got up and went straight to Zhang Weiren's house.
An hour later, the three siblings gathered together and Zhang Weiren's driver drove them back to their hometown.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Weifang saw Zhang Jiuyun lying on the kang with his eyes closed, Zhang Qiao Na sitting beside him with a sad face, and Zhang Weibao sitting beside him smoking.
"What's going on? What happened, Dad?"
Zhang Weibao took several of his brothers and sisters to the next room, with a sad look on his face:
"Sister, brother, Doctor Wang said Dad has cancer. He had hemorrhoids before, and they got worse and worse. We didn't take it seriously, but who knew he would suddenly collapse last week."
"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up first."
"Brother, I've been there. My second brother-in-law took me there on a tricycle. The doctor said it would only take one or two months."
The sudden bad news was hard for everyone to accept. The brothers and sisters all had tears in their eyes. Zhang Weifang asked sadly:
"How could this happen? Wasn't there any sign before?"
"Before, I had blood in my stool and stomach pain. Dad thought it was hemorrhoids, so he kept it to himself."
Things have come to this point, and there is no other way. Zhang Weifang and others want to make sure the old man has good food and drink in his final days.
Unfortunately, Zhang Jiuyun spent most of the day in a coma, could barely eat, and had no control over his bowel movements.
However, it was mainly Zhang Qiao Na who took care of the children, and she didn't let the children get involved.
On the third day after Zhang Weifang returned, Zhang Jiuyun suddenly woke up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to organize the separation of the family.
The specific contents of the division of the family property are as follows: the second son Zhang Weibao takes care of his mother at home, and Zhang Weiren and Zhang Weicun pay 200 yuan for her retirement every year.
There was a pair of silver bracelets in the family, which were given to the eldest granddaughter Zhang Nailin, and the eldest grandson Zhang Shijie had a dollar, which was the only asset in the hands of the two old people.
Zhang Weifang and her two sisters didn't care, as these things were for their son anyway. Zhang Weibao was honest and didn't say anything, but Zhang Weicun had some objections.
There are five grandchildren in the family. Why should all the things be given to the eldest brother's children? His Lingling and the second brother's children were blown here by the wind?
Zhang Weicun didn't understand the old man's favoritism, but he just kept it in mind.
He felt that the dumbest person was his second brother. His mother asked him to support him, but gave away his valuables. And he still expected his eldest brother to take care of him in the future? He was really overthinking it.
In July, 74-year-old Zhang Jiuyun passed away. In the last two months, his children took turns to accompany him. His children and grandchildren were filial to him, and his descendants were numerous. He had no regrets in his life.
The family sent Zhang Jiuyun away in grief, and Zhang Qiao Na followed Zhang Weicun to his home to help him take care of the children.
As for the two children in Zhang Weibao's family, she had never thought about them at all. After all, they had parents and could be taken care of.
In the past six months, the relationship between An An and his family has been at a stalemate. He has wanted to marry Huo Yu many times, but she has rejected him every time.
Huo Yu is no longer a little girl who knows nothing, and she doesn't want to have an unrealistic relationship.
No matter how good An An treats her, he cannot afford to support her family. Over time, there will inevitably be conflicts between the two.
