Chapter 448: The Best Sister-in-law of the Peasant Family (Twenty-Five)
If Anne heard Old Man Zhang's words, she would definitely give him a thumbs up and praise him from the bottom of her heart: He is worthy of Zhang Dahai's father.
His "heart-to-heart" is definitely a hundred times stronger than Mrs. Niu's nonsense.
It can also be seen from this that Zhang Dahai's little cleverness is inherited from whom.
Sure enough, after listening to Old Man Zhang's sincere words, all the dissatisfaction in Zhang Dahai's heart disappeared, and he even felt a little guilty.
Was he just evil, how could he be dissatisfied with his parents?
His father and mother gave birth to him, married him a daughter-in-law, and helped him take care of the children, and he should have been filial to them.
As for the things that he should do in the house, he should do it.
He is the eldest son, the son of a top family, how can he complain about his parents and dislike them because of some of his own careful thoughts?
"Dad, I, I-" Zhang Dahai was speechless in shame.
Old man Zhang's face was full of love, "Dahai, you are a good child, my father and mother are happy to have a son like you." In the past, you've done enough for your family, and in the future, you'll take care of Da Nier and the childrenβ"
"Dad, don't worry, I, I will continue to take good care of the family in the future. β
Zhang Dahai interrupted Old Man Zhang's words and said firmly, "I will send money to my family every month, and I may not be able to send all the money back, but I will also find a way to send half of it back." β
"Oh, I said it all, no, no, if you develop well in the army, it will be better than giving us gold and silver. β
Old man Zhang waved his hand again and again, with a generous and loving attitude, only to see Zhang Dahai more sad and guilty.
The father and son pushed back for a long time, and finally reached an agreement: Zhang Dahai took An Dani and the four children back to the army and sent thirteen yuan to the family every month.
Zhang Dahai wiped his tears and walked out of his parents' house.
Watching his back leave, Mrs. Niu finally couldn't help it, "Old man, how can you agree to let An Dani and them go with the army?"
The person ran away, and the money was lost by half, how could the old lady Niu endure it after all these years.
"If I don't say yes, they won't leave?"
Old man Zhang glanced at Mrs. Niu coldly, "Didn't you see the appearance of the boss just now? If you continue to make trouble, the boss will have to be separated from us!"
Old man Zhang is much more shrewd than Mrs. Niu.
Mrs. Niu is still the same as in the past, thinking that her son will be obedient to her.
But Old Man Zhang was so sensitive that his eldest son had changed, so he hurriedly interrupted his wife's words and tried his best to play the family card with his eldest son.
"Centrifugation? How is it possible? The sea is the most filialβ"
"The sea is indeed filial, but no matter how filial a child is, it can't withstand your nonsense. The eldest has been married for more than ten years, and he has been with his daughter-in-law for no more than two months, he is a man, he works so hard outside, but when he comes home, he is a cold pot and a cold stove, and he doesn't even have a person to warm his bed......"
In such a day, let alone a promising person like the boss, even those poor sticks who are not willing to do so.
In the past, the boss had no choice but to meet the qualifications of the army, so he left Andani in his hometown.
But now, he is a company commander, and his colleagues at the same level have taken his wife away.
His eldest son is so alone, how happy he is.
If it was Andani who didn't want to join the army, it would be fine, but it was her wife who stopped her, and the reason for the obstruction was for money......
The boss is not a fool, he can endure it for a short time because of the word "filial piety", and after a long time, he will not complain or even hate his parents?!
Old man Zhang lives with himself, and if he stands in the position of the boss, he will also have complaints about his family and parents.
Zhang Dahai is the most promising person in the entire Zhang family, and Old Man Zhang still expects this son to glorify his ancestors, so he will never allow the "son centrifugation" to happen.
In the future, he will follow his eldest son to the city to live a good life, but he can't let the old woman make a fuss and hurt his son's heart.
"I, I-" Mrs. Niu is not stupid to go home, after listening to her wife's words, she also figured it out.
But she is not reconciled, why can Andani, that shrew, go to the army to enjoy happiness?
And that money, thirteen yuan a month, is more than 100 yuan a year, which is enough to pay two laborers for a year's work.
"Okay, the matter is decided, and you will be kinder to the old family in the future. β
Old man Zhang didn't have the patience to entangle with the old woman anymore, so he warned with a straight face: "Since they want to leave, let them go smoothly, and don't say anything about what they don't have to block them." β
Don't look at Mrs. Niu showing off her power in Zhang's house on weekdays, but Old Man Zhang is a transparent person.
But Mrs. Niu knows in her heart that it is her own man who is really in charge of this family.
Therefore, once Mr. Zhang spoke, Mrs. Niu was unwilling and did not dare to disobey.
In this way, the matter of Anne and the child joining the army was decided.
In the following days, Anne went to the mountains several times in succession, and almost killed all the wild boars in the mountains.
There are more than ten heads, except for the villagers who are usually distributed to the brigade, and the rest of the heads, Anne made bacon and bacon, and is ready to take them with her when she leaves.
After saying goodbye to An Jia, and under the reluctant gaze of the entire Red Star Production Brigade, Anne took her four children and Zhang Dahai to embark on the road to the army.
Zhang Dahai's company is an independent battalion under the jurisdiction of the provincial military district, and it is stationed in the mountains on the outskirts of the provincial capital.
Zhang Dahai's family first took a train to the provincial capital, and then found a comrade-in-arms to take a hitchhike to the suburbs, and then borrowed a mule cart from a fellow countryman and staggered into the mountains.
After some tossing, it took a week to arrive at the company's station from his hometown.
"Dani, this is the house that was given to us. β
Zhang Dahai carried the blanket roll on his back, held Xiaoxue in his arms, led Anne to a bungalow area, and pointed to a small courtyard near the west.
Anne hugged her little son, and Xiaoman and Yinsuo followed her.
After a few days of driving, the mothers and sons were a little dusty.
Anne glanced at the yard, well, it's not big, about forty or fifty square meters.
When you open the courtyard door, you will see three red brick bungalows.
The house looks very new, like it was built in the last two years, and the windows are glass, so it looks very regular.
Anne nodded with satisfaction, such a house, in this era, can be regarded as a mansion.
"I just went home after the room was divided, I didn't have time to clean up, furniture or something, you can borrow it from the company first, of course, you can also go to the town's supply and marketing cooperatives to buy, but you need industrial vouchers. β
Zhang Dahai whispered to Anne, and when he mentioned the bill, a touch of emptiness flashed on his face.
Well, before leaving, he left all the bills on his body to his parents, and there was no one left.
If you want to use it at home, it is estimated that you will have to wait for a few months.
After all, bills are issued on a monthly basis, and the amount of each issue is not large.
For example, he will issue one industrial coupon every month for buying furniture, and a decent large wardrobe will cost four or five industrial coupons, to say the least.
Anne had already noticed Zhang Dahai's small movements, but she didn't care.
Now that I can join the army and get half of Zhang Dahai's allowance, it is already a big progress.
Anne is not a greedy person, as long as Zhang Dahai is no longer so good, she will not worry too much about him.
"It's okay, make do with it first, and when there are conditions in the future, it's not too late to change to a new one. β
Anne said generously.
"Da Nier, you're so nice. β
Zhang Dahai saw that Anne did not pursue the matter of those bills, so he immediately relieved himself and began to introduce the surrounding situation to her, "We live in the west of the second company commander's house, the second company commander is next to the fifth company commander, and Lao Xu's family lives in the back row...... Our battalion is an independent battalion with a sub-regimental level and a total of five companies. β
The five companies had five company commanders, five instructors, plus battalion commanders and political commissars, and except for those who did not have a family and did not accompany the army, nine families lived in these two rows of bungalows.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the small military compound is also divided into two factions: urban and rural......
