During the days that Zhang Qiao Na was undergoing surgery, Zhang Weifang was taking care of her in the hospital. Zhang Weiren specially invited an expert from the provincial capital, so the cost was relatively high, and a total of more than 6,300 yuan was spent.
After the operation, Zhang Qiaona stayed in the hospital for seven days until she was sure that her eyes had fully recovered to normal.
Before the operation, Zhang Weiren called his second brother in his hometown and told him about this. Zhang Weibao was a filial son and offered to come to the city to take care of him.
However, Zhang Weiren did not let him come. Zhang Weibao had a wife and children at home, and it was not easy for him to come from so far away. Besides, he didn't have much money, so he didn't want to add to his burden.
The cost of this operation was borne by Zhang Weiren alone. In rural areas, there has always been a saying that sons should support their elderly parents. Logically, the cost should be divided equally among the three brothers. However, the reality did not allow this, so he paid for it himself.
Zhang Weifang originally wanted to share half of the burden, but Zhang Weiren refused. In his eyes, his eldest sister had already shouldered enough responsibility for the family, and this was not what a daughter-in-law who married out should do.
Moreover, over time, everyone will take this for granted.
When Zhang Jiuyun divided the family business, he had already made it clear to his children that while his sons would get their share of the property, they would also have to assume responsibility for providing for their mother in her old age, while his daughters would only need to provide her with food and clothing.
Zhang Qiao Na spent a comfortable and pleasant winter at her eldest daughter's house. Time passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Her homesickness became stronger and stronger, and she wanted to return to her hometown no matter what.
Once people get older, they will miss their hometown more and more and yearn to return to their hometown, just like fallen leaves returning to their roots. This emotion is like an obsession deeply rooted in the heart and cannot be let go.
During the Chinese New Year of 1992, Zhang Jiuyun and Zhang Weicun were missing, but compared to the deserted scene of the previous year's Chinese New Year, everyone was still very happy.
During the Chinese New Year last year, the three siblings from the city did not come back, and Zhang Qiao Na was not at home either, so the three siblings from the hometown did not visit each other either. It was the quietest year.
So, this year during the Chinese New Year, the brothers and sisters got together again, and everyone felt very happy because this family is the root of all of them.
Zhang Weishuang and his eldest sister talked about their grandchildren and their children's marriages. The men drank, talked about work, and the harvest from the fields.
Gou Xiao, the son of Zhang Weishuang, also gave her a grandson who was about the same age as Li Rui, the son of Hu Zi. And her second son Ping Xiao was also starting to look good. The only difficult one was An An.
An An is much more stable now and works very hard, but he is not very concerned about finding a partner. However, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, Zhang Weifang doesn't care about him.
Not long after the Chinese New Year, Zhang Weifang received a call from his second uncle. It turned out that his son Zhang Qingshan had returned.
He lost more than 100,000 yuan in the past two years and has been in a bad mood since he came back. Zhang Jiuling was afraid that something might happen to him, so he wanted Zhang Weifang to persuade him.
Zhang Weifang is fifteen years older than Zhang Qingshan, and the two are completely unfamiliar with each other. Zhang Weifang really can't understand why her second uncle would arrange for her to persuade Zhang Qingshan.
But since it was her second uncle who called personally, even though she was reluctant, she had no choice but to go to Nanshan City.
Lu Shi was worried about Zhang Weifang, so he came to Nanshan City with her. Zhang Jiuling is now retired and still lives in the compound, but now he lives in a new house with three bedrooms and two living rooms.
Both sons have their own houses and they do not live together.
As soon as Zhang Qingshan saw Lu Shi, he happily shook his hand, confusing everyone. It was his wife who intervened and smoothed things over:
"Sister, brother-in-law, Qingshan is so excited. He has always wanted to learn about business from you."
Zhang Weifang was chatting with his second uncle and aunt in the living room. The two of them lived a pampered life and looked very young. They spoke very kindly.
In fact, Lu Shi did not have much experience, but he knew that he had to understand the situation and the market before doing anything, and he could not do things that he did not understand.
The reason why Zhang Qingshan failed was because he spent all his money on seafood. Although transportation between the north and the south is convenient now, not everyone can afford seafood.
Seafood is expensive to transport, and he doesn't know much about it, so if he just follows others in investing blindly, he will definitely fail in the end.
Lu Shi told Zhang Qingshan about his experience in running a restaurant and a clothing store, and then asked him to refer to the specific situation.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingshan was a man of action. He immediately took Lu Shi out to find a storefront and asked him for the supplier's phone number.
Zhang Qingshan finally decided to sell clothes. He was not interested in the restaurant business. He had no money, and the initial capital was lent to him by Zhang Jiuling.
However, this time with Lu Shi's guidance, Zhang Qingshan was full of confidence and felt that he could definitely achieve something great.
Zhang Weifang stayed in Nanshan City for five days, and then returned to her hometown to attend Ping Xiao's wedding. She stayed outside for a total of one week before returning home.
Ping Xiao is 21 years old and has never had a job. He currently drives a tricycle to transport goods such as coal, bricks and sand. He earns a lot of money from each trip, so he is very satisfied with his current life.
He is different from his brother. He is more straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush, so Zhang Weiren didn't assign him a job. To put it bluntly, he felt that he was not good enough.
Gou Xiao looks honest, but he is actually very knowledgeable and smart, so he does a good job at the coal station, and Zhang Weiren feels proud of it.
Moreover, Gou Xiao's husband's maternal relatives are also very powerful. His two brothers-in-law work in the railway, and his younger brother-in-law works in the Water Conservancy Bureau. The whole family is doing well.
Ping Xiao is different. He is mediocre and his partner is from the next village. She is not good-looking and her only advantage is that she is hardworking and persevering.
In fact, Zhang Weishuang was not satisfied with her, not because he thought her family conditions were poor, but mainly because this family was difficult to get along with.
Before the marriage, the new daughter-in-law kept asking for more than her sister-in-law. But it didn't matter, because Zhang Wei had money, so he built a new house for her and bought new appliances and furniture.
However, a month before the wedding, the couple insisted on choosing the old house and renovating it. Zhang Weishuang had no choice but to hire someone to work overtime to repaint the walls and lay the floors. Finally, the couple was satisfied.
However, three days before the wedding, the new bride made a new request. The betrothal gift, which had been agreed upon before, was 2,000 yuan, but now it was raised to 3,000 yuan.
Zhang Weishuang and his wife gritted their teeth to marry this daughter-in-law, and they even borrowed a lot of money for this.
So they didn't have a good impression of their daughter-in-law from the beginning, but their son was willing, so what could they do if they disagreed?
