After the new house was completed, the family moved in happily. However, Zhang Weibao was under a lot of pressure because he owed so much foreign debt. He felt that he had to find a job as soon as possible.
Originally, Zhang Weiren wanted to help him find a new job, but because of the previous job loss, Wang Fuzi had complaints against his uncle.
She complained about Zhang Weiren in her words and deeds, and was not as respectful as before. Zhang Weiren originally felt a little guilty, but now he didn't want to care about them anymore.
In recent years, Zhang Weiren has seen too much of the fickleness of human nature and the cruelty of the world, so he is not as warm to his younger brother.
What's more, the 30,000 yuan for building the house was already his compensation, and he had no regrets.
Zhang Weibao is 47 years old this year. He is not young and has a low level of education. It is difficult for him to find a job and he can only do some hard labor.
He could no longer feel the glorious moments of weddings and funerals in the village.
In order to support his family, Zhang Weibao went to a private coal mine to drive a bulldozer. His monthly salary of 1,000 yuan was just enough to make ends meet.
Working in a coal mine is particularly hard. Even in the middle of summer, I have to wear thick cotton clothes, and when I get home from get off work, my body is covered in ice.
Because Zhang Weibao worked so hard, Wang Fuzi became more virtuous and took good care of the whole family by herself.
The old lady felt very distressed when she saw that her son was working so hard, so she would take out her own private money from time to time to buy her son some delicious food.
Due to the virus, this year's high school entrance examination was postponed, and only the three main subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English were tested. As a result, many students took advantage and got good grades. Of course, some students suffered losses, so it all depends on luck.
Zhang Weifang spends every day at home very freely, watching TV, playing on the computer, and having a great time.
Lu Shi bought the computer last month. An An helped to pull the network cable and also taught the two of them some basic operations.
With the experience from her previous life, Zhang Weifang learned quickly. She was not interested in anything else and at most just played some small games.
Lu Shi has more hobbies than her, such as cooking, growing flowers and raising fish. The old couple has completely entered the retirement state.
Zhang Weifang is 60 years old. Her matchmaking agency has a good reputation, so business is booming. Otherwise, due to the impact of the epidemic, she would go to work on time every day.
Lu Shi's clothing store business is also good, but after so many years, he feels very tired, so Lu Shi wants to transfer the clothing store. He thinks that retirement life is very good.
Zhang Weifang didn't care. Anyway, they had enough money for retirement, so it was not impossible for him to retire if he wanted to.
But An An was unwilling to do so. She felt it was a shame to close the store like this. After all, this was the result of her father's years of hard work.
Thinking of this, An An couldn't help but feel heartbroken and helpless. He even had an idea - to resign and then take over his father's clothing store wholeheartedly. This idea made him feel both excited and nervous.
Zhang Hailian was not happy with An An's idea. The tax bureau was a good unit with a stable income, so how could she resign so easily?
So, until now, this matter has not been concluded, and Lu Shi is preparing to work for one last year.
One day in August, Zhang Weicun came to Zhang Weifang's house in a panic. As soon as he entered the door, he burst into tears:
"Sister, Lingling is missing, can you help me?"
Zhang Weifang was shocked when she heard that her child was missing. Although they didn't usually visit each other, she still hoped Lingling was okay:
"What's going on?"
Zhang Weicun cried and said:
"Sister, Lingling didn't do well in the high school entrance exam this year. She probably ran away from home because she was afraid we would beat her."
At this time, Zhang Weifang no longer cared about the previous grudges. She directly called Hu Zi and asked him to help find someone.
Hu Zi has now been promoted to detachment leader. He seldom goes on missions and usually stays in the rear. So, as soon as he receives a call, he asks someone to help look for her.
Zhang Lingling was already 16 years old. She hid herself secretly and it was difficult for everyone to find her. So, a group of people searched for her for more than ten days but there was no news of her.
Zhang Weicun was so anxious and angry that he fell ill. He received intravenous drips in the hospital every day and lost a lot of weight.
Maotu didn't dare to make a fuss now. She was afraid that someone would die, and then she would be in trouble.
Finally, at the end of September, the police found Zhang Lingling in a restaurant who had been away from home for more than two months. She was now working as a dishwasher in the kitchen and was living a good life.
Knowing that her family was looking for her, Zhang Lingling returned home with a nervous mood. When Zhang Weicun saw his daughter coming back, he cried happily, and Maotu was also wiping tears beside him.
In the past two months, the couple has been exhausted. They only hope that their child will be safe and dare not think about anything else.
This time when she returned home, Zhang Lingling was not beaten. She felt uneasy but secretly happy. She hoped that she could live like this forever in the future.
Zhang Weicun did not let Zhang Lingling continue to go to school. Instead, he found her a computer typesetting and printing shop and asked her to learn the technology there and learn some simple design and typesetting so that she could find a job in the future.
Zhang Weicun is now working as a laborer in a small factory. He has no choice but to work, and Mao Tu is also doing odd jobs outside.
The three members of the family work and there is almost no extra expenses at home, so their life is pretty good.
Mao Tu is a thoughtful person. She has paid pension insurance for herself and Zhang Weicun a long time ago. In case their children are unfilial, they will have pension money. Money is confidence.
In fact, both Zhang Weiren and Zhang Weifang wanted Lingling to continue studying. However, after all, she was not their own child, so their opinions did not matter at all.
In the second half of the year, the virus was basically under control and everyone returned to normal life.
Zhang Weiren was very bored at home alone, so he tried to ask others to introduce him to a partner.
Of course, Zhang Weiren was embarrassed to ask his elder sister for help in such matters. However, he had good conditions, and as soon as the news of looking for a partner was released, many people were willing to go on blind dates with him.
Maybe all men love beauty, Zhang Weiren fell in love with a woman who was ten years younger than him.
The woman is 44 years old, widowed, and has only one daughter who is studying for a master's degree at the Taipei Conservatory of Music.
The woman's name was Liang Qing. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman, the kind of beauty who was dignified, graceful, and elegant, like someone who had walked out of a painting. It was difficult for Zhang Weifang to describe her beauty in words.
When we met for the first time, Liang Qing was wearing a cheongsam with black flowers on a white background, like an ink painting, paired with black high heels. She looked graceful and elegant.
