The next day, the rice stall.

Zhang Wei followed his parents and just set up a stall, and Chen Yingying followed her father to thank her.

"Thank you so much. Chen Laosan said gratefully, with a look of shame: "I was in a hurry to die yesterday, fortunately for you, otherwise...... Alas, I'm not a conscientious father!"

Zhang Wei saw Chen Laosan so understanding, he had also been a single father in his previous life, and he knew that he couldn't be busy when he had to go to work and take care of his children, but fortunately, he still had his mother to help take care of the children, so he couldn't help but pity Chen Yingying, a lonely little girl, even more.

Chen Yingying pulled Zhang Wei to play aside, and Chen Laosan chatted with Zhang Aiguo and his wife for a while.

Chen Laosan joked: "Look how much this girl likes your child, and when she grows up, I will marry her to your family." ”

"Okay, yes, I like Xiaowei. Chen Yingying cheered, she had no idea what marriage meant.

Zhang Wei is a little funny, if she grows up and then talks to this girl about the current situation, it is estimated that she will have to blush to the base of her neck.

Cheng Lin also joked: "Then it's decided, and I will call you in-laws in the future." ”

When children are young, their parents often joke like this, but when they grow up, there are very few who can really match, and Zhang Wei also understands that they are joking.

After a while, Chen Laosan took the reluctant Chen Yingying away, and he bought twenty catties of rice before leaving, although Zhang Wei's parents repeatedly refused, but he still insisted on buying, Zhang Wei understood that this man had no better way to repay him, so he could only do it in this form, and he estimated that Chen Laosan's family would come here to buy rice in the future, does this count as digging the wall foot of the uncle's house?

When Chen Laosan left, Zhang Aiguo said: "Make more money recently, and strive to return my aunt's money when Qingming goes back!"

……

Twenty days later, Minqiang Township.

Seeing that Qingming is coming, everything recovers in the spring rain lingering in the spring breeze.

Zhang Wei followed his mother back to his hometown by bus early in the morning, and his father did not go back together, the business was not easy to come by, and he had to keep the stall.

It has been a month since the stall was set up on the other side of the Riguang City River, and Zhang Wei's business has been very stable, even if it sometimes rains heavily or the city management rushes to the stall, Zhang Wei's family can sell an average of 1,500 catties of rice per day this month, of which 500 catties are contributed by Xie Fatzi.

Zhang Wei, who got out of the car, looked around, only to see the streets, green trees, and houses in the distance hazy and soaked in a mist.

I remember when I first came, the family still owed 3,000 yuan to my aunt's family, and now I have earned about 5,500 yuan a month, and I have a net profit of 5,000 yuan after removing the food expenses.

Cheng Lin, who was carrying things, chattered: "Your father just wants to save face, and he bought so many things for me to take back, can't I buy them at home?"

Zhang Wei followed his mother and walked towards the house, constantly looking at the surrounding scenery, hearing his mother's words, he turned around and said with a smile: "Dad, I want to thank my uncle and grandmother's family for borrowing money, don't complain." ”

"Thanks for what. Cheng Lin was dissatisfied: "When I borrowed money from my aunt's house, I promised five cents of interest and said that I would pay it back in a year, but she ran over to urge her to ask for it in less than half a year, and said so many ugly words." ”

Zhang Wei really didn't know about it, his parents never said it in his previous life, he only remembered that it took a long time for the family to pay off the debt, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing it, but the interest rate was not too high, a little lower than the current bank, he comforted his mother and said: "Isn't it just five cents a year? It's not too high!"

"What's the five cents a year? It's five cents a month!" Cheng Lin was full of resentment.

This is really a loan shark, Zhang Wei's eyes couldn't help but get cold, according to the laws of the country, more than 4 times the interest of the bank is considered a legal usury, no wonder it took a long time for the parents to pay off the debts in the previous life, it turned out that there was still this layer of insider inside.

Three thousand yuan a month to a month, a year later, you have to pay back five thousand four!

How much is the bank interest now? 10.98%! That is, if you deposit 3,000 yuan for a full year, it will only be 329.4 yuan in interest!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei was a little angry, and he returned his relatives like this! He said, "Mom, how much money did you give her?"

Cheng Lin sighed and said: "In order to disadvantage the rolling profit, I gave her one hundred and fifty yuan every month, and one thousand two yuan for eight months, go back and return all the three thousand yuan to her this time, save no more trouble." ”

That is to say, since the second half of last year, my father has paid off his debts by earning a quarter of five or six hundred a month, and the family still has to eat expenses, so it is no wonder that he can't pay off his debts during the New Year.

Zhang Wei felt very uncomfortable, but when he thought that the family was really in difficulty at that time, and it was rare for his uncle and grandmother to be able to borrow money, the interest should be interest, and it was better not to tear his face off, otherwise it would not sound good to reach the ears of his relatives.

Zhang Wei thought about it, even if he sent money to his aunt's house and heard something unpleasant, he had to hold back, he must not be impulsive, as long as his uncle and grandmother are not too excessive, he will not be too lazy to care, he should see the family's personality clearly, and he will have less contact in the future.

If your uncle and grandmother don't know how to lift, you must embarrass your own family, don't blame Zhang Wei for being mad!

Zhang Wei's grandparents' house.

After arriving home, Zhang Wei first followed his mother to give the gifts he brought back from the magic capital to his grandparents, and then followed his mother to his grandmother's house to deliver gifts, preparing to send money to his uncle and grandmother in the evening.

It is better to repay the money at night, and the villagers in the province began to chew the root of their tongues again after hearing it.

Who knows, less than an hour after Zhang Wei's family left, Zhang Wei's uncle and grandmother chased after him to ask for debts!

Zhang Wei's grandparents had just had lunch, and after their grandson and daughter-in-law came back, they were in a good mood, holding the family's fourteen-inch Venus black-and-white TV with relish.

This kind of TV is no longer visible in later generations, and even now most families will not buy such a small TV, but buy a larger 17-inch TV.

Now is not the time to be busy with farming, and there is generally nothing to do except for the length of the family.

"The second family seems to be doing a good job in the magic capital, and the third child is still working on the construction site, and the second boss will take him out next year. Grandpa Zhang Delin said.

Grandma Lu Jiannan worried:

"The second family still owes foreign debts, I don't know if they will pay it back when they come back this time? Cheng Lin's aunt has come to pay off the debt several times, and every time she comes over, she says such ugly things, alas!"

"It should be, the second daughter-in-law is not ......" Zhang Delin didn't finish speaking, and there was a scream outside.

"Brother and sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law is too unpresentable, is it, this person is still hiding when he comes back?" accompanied by a mean voice was a woman in her fifties, with her cheeks inverted and her face like a pointy face, as soon as she entered the room, she sneered: "Yo, you two are quite leisurely, don't you do your daughter-in-law's ideological work, and pay back the money early?"
