The year is tossing and turning, and it is gradually entering the New Year.

Zhang Yunqi finally returned to his home after a half-year absence.

Zhang's mother has not changed, but her complexion is more ruddy than before, and her two younger sisters Zhang Chunlan and Zhang Xiaoxiao have grown taller and fatter, especially Zhang Xiaoxiao, with two pigtails, a round face, red, very cute, and the little girl with yellow and thin muscles half a year ago is not the same person, it seems that the food at home has been very good in the past six months.

Zhang Yunqi was the happiest when he returned home, Zhang Xiaoxiao, she changed her naughty temperament in the past, put a basin of hot water in front of Zhang Yunqi, and took a towel and handed it to him, very well-behaved.

When Zhang Yunqi washed his face and returned to the hall, Zhang Xiaoxiao rubbed to his side and made love for a while, and saw that Zhang Yunqi did not say anything, so he ran to Zhang Yunqi's room and rummaged through his handbag, and after rummaging for a long time and found nothing, she ran out again and came to Zhang Yunqi's side, and said sweetly: "Second brother, did you come back from the city to bring me a gift?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said no.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was like a deflated balloon, looking unhappy.

Chunlan, who was sitting next to her and snorting melon seeds, said angrily: "Just with the two points you scored in the exam, you are embarrassed to ask for a gift?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao's young heart was devastated, and he looked aggrieved with a puffed mouth, and looked at Zhang Yunqi, who was peeling fried peanuts and eating them.

The five brothers and sisters of the old Zhang family, the eldest and second Zhang Yunfeng and Zhang Qiulan dropped out of primary school just after graduation, but their grades were also top when they were studying, not to mention him and the fourth Chunlan.

Zhang Yunqi thought that they were all said to be a son and a mother, and the difference couldn't be so big, but looking at the little girl who was about to release the flood, he couldn't help but pull her over and wipe her face with a towel: "Don't cry, in two days, the second brother will take you and Qiulan to the city to buy beautiful clothes, as well as toffee, white rabbit, do you know?"

"The second brother is the best, don't forget. As soon as she heard that there was candy to eat, the little girl immediately stopped crying.

At this time, Zhang's mother walked in from the kitchen with a steaming hot pot, and when she heard Zhang Yunqi's words, she said: "What are you used to her doing, and she is a bad person, give me an early graduation from primary school, and go home to raise pigs." ”

Zhang Yunqi almost squirted water.

The men of the old Zhang family are all honest, loyal, hard-working, and hard-working masters, but the women of the old Zhang family are really more neat than the other, except for the eldest sister Zhang Qiulan, they are not good at stubble.

Tonight, Zhang's mother made a pot of mutton hot pot, and the rich fragrance that filled the hall made Zhang Yunqi smell the smell of home after a long absence, he took his two younger sisters to set up the dishes and chopsticks, and the family ate steaming hot pot around the table.

Zhang Yunqi filled a glass of home-brewed sorghum wine for his eldest brother and himself, and now he is studying outside, and there are not many opportunities to drink with his family, so he has to learn to cherish it, perhaps only older people can understand that no matter how many fox friends and dog friends eat and drink spicy food, it is not as good as chatting with his family at home and drinking a little wine.

Zhang Yunqi didn't go home for a semester, and during dinner, Zhang's mother and Zhang Yunfeng asked him a lot about school, in addition to his academic performance, there was also about the sale of Tetris handhelds, this Zhang's mother and Zhang Yunfeng learned from Qiulan.

Zhang Yunqi didn't hide it from his mother and eldest brother, whether it was his academic performance or the handheld computer, what did he say, but on the basis of facts, he said it to the high and the big one.

Zhang's mother heard him say that his grades were very stable and he was at the top of the class, so she didn't say that he didn't do his job, and asked him how much money he made in business, Zhang Yunqi went back to the bedroom and took out three bundles of hundred-yuan bills and put them on the table, which directly shocked the family.

This is not to pretend to be forced, Zhang Yunqi wants to take his family to Jiangchuan City to live next semester, and he must show a certain amount of economic strength.

In fact, it is not a big deal to buy a house, at most it is forty or fifty thousand yuan, and he is completely out of this money now. But the family has lived in Yunxi Village for generations, and suddenly moved to the city to live, which is not good.

In addition to economic problems, I also have to consider whether my mother is used to going to the city, whether she is reluctant to leave Yunxi Village, what her eldest brother does in the city, and Chunlan and Xiaoxiao's schooling.

Halfway through the wine, Zhang Yunqi suddenly said, "Mom, I want to visit my father as a family in a few days, and I have already asked Uncle Ji to help say hello over there." ”

Zhang's mother picked up the chopsticks for the dishes, Qiulan buried her head in the bowl and picked up the rice hard, only Zhang Xiaoxiao raised her head and said very innocently and happily: "Let's go to see Dad, when are we going?" Second brother, where is Dad now?"

No one answered Zhang Xiaoxiao's question, Zhang Yunfeng poured a glass of wine into his mouth and said: "It's been a year, and I don't know how my dad is inside, I should go and see it, Yunqi, it's the New Year soon, find a time to arrange it as soon as possible." ”

This topic ended in a sloppy word, and the family was reluctant to mention it, but they all wanted to see their father.

The next day, Zhang Yunqi went to the village committee to make a phone call to the reception in Guiping County Prison, and the last time he visited the prison, he had a demerit number, and he inquired about the specific date of the reception day for the next visit, because according to the prison regulations, inmates can meet with their families once a month.

On the way home from the village committee, the snow had not yet melted, and many children were chasing and playing with firecrackers on the endless wilderness, and wisps of cooking smoke rose in the distance, full of the smell of fireworks in the world.

In the vicinity of the barn field, Zhang Yunqi met a group of his junior high school classmates, all from Yunxi Village, a group of 3 people, walking across the barn to the direction of the village.

When the three of them saw Zhang Yunqi, they waved and said, "Go to the town to play, Zhang Yunqi, are you going?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Don't go, you guys have fun." ”

The three of them turned around and left, Zhang Yunqi silently looked at their backs, although he didn't deal with them much in this life, he was still familiar with each of them, including their temperament, habits, preferences, and knew the development trend of each of them in the past 20 years after graduation. Among them, Zhang Yunqi was most impressed by Li Rong, who greeted him just now.

Li Rong was in the same class as him in junior high school, his family background was worse than him, and his grades were not as good as him, but after graduating from junior high school, he chose Fengyang County No. 3 Middle School, and was later admitted to the Provincial School of Economics.

When Li Rong was a senior, Zhang Yunqi had already come out to work, Li Rong often ran to find him, and the pockmarked face in front of him was always filled with a bright smile, and he was Brother Yun when he opened and closed his mouth, and he did this just to rub a free lunch.

When he first graduated, Li Rong had no money to rent a house, so he borrowed 200 from Zhang Yunqi, but the money has not been repaid so far, but later, Li Rong entered the subordinate unit of the Finance Bureau, relying on the ability to do things, willing to give gifts, and able to drink, he mixed well, and then he went to the sea to engage in real estate and made a lot of money.

15 years after graduation, 27 people in the junior high school class gathered in Jiangchuan City, Li Rong has turned into a big money, in front of a group of old classmates, he said at the dinner table with a mouth full of oily sausages: "Every day, hundreds of people under his command open their mouths to ask for food, it is not easy to feed, and I have to die of worry, you say, the money is not easy to earn." I was planning to list on the A-share market next year, but it seems that it will be in the soup again. ”

18 years later, Li Rong's rampant energy is more sufficient, he will never leave the seat when he picks up his mobile phone at the class reunion, and the car keys of Mercedes-Benz S600 are always in a conspicuous place on the table, saying that the domestic air quality is too poor and he is considering preparing for immigration, and the 300-square-meter house he just bought has no one to live in and raise a dog.

20 years later, Li Rong built a villa in Yunxi Village with great fanfare, encroached on Zhang Yunqi's homestead, and the two parents had a quarrel, Li Rong rushed back from the capital, and directly threw a row of bundles of banknotes in front of Zhang Yunqi, saying: "It's all old classmates, just order, I want to set the land, you take the money!"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and looked at the figure of the three people who had gone away, thinking about the adjustment of the relationship between these people in the past 10 years, he once again realized that only by finding a way to make money, exhausting all efforts to make money, and making himself rich and powerful, can he not give the villain the opportunity to show off in front of him, and can he trample those who are arrogant and rampant under his feet and crush them to death!
