Chapter Ninety-Three: Poverty is the Original Sin
"After singing one by one, is it time to do free activities, such as singing with men and women, or other ways?"
After graduating from junior high school in Zhang Chu's class, there were six or seven pairs of men and women who finally came together, which is a lot of proportion. In addition to Zhang Wenhu, the target is at the forefront, everyone knows that there are actually several pairs of underground affairs.
The guy who proposed it was one of the underground lovers, and as soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst into laughter. I've been waiting for this for a long time.,Those who have an object are looking for a target to sing.,Those who don't have an object are looking for a favorite target to sing.。
The chorus was quickly sung, and the one song was also very fast, because many people did not go up to sing. For example, Zhang Chu, he didn't sing, and most of them didn't sing, probably embarrassed.
As soon as Zhang Wenhu heard this proposal, he immediately rushed to Zhang Xiaolian's side to offer his courtesy. Only Zhang Chu and Zhang Xiaomao were left chatting, but Zhang Xiaomao's attention was not on chatting, but his eyes were looking around.
There were a total of fifteen girls and thirty-three boys in the sixty-four class, and there were more than ten boys left. So you have to start first, catch one and then talk about it.
They are all classmates, and they all know a little bit when they used to study. Plus they're all adults, so when will you not take the initiative at this time? The hand is fast, the hand is slow.
didn't talk to Zhang Chu for a few words, Zhang Xiaomao ran over to a girl, leaving Zhang Chu alone to sit with Lao Lian.
"Zhang Chu doesn't have a partner, if you don't start sooner now, there will be no female classmates to match you later." You used to have good grades in the class, and you should have female classmates who liked it. ”
Lao Lian saw that Zhang Chu didn't move, and laughed and teased. If he couldn't find a partner in the class, he was probably the least worried about Zhang Chu.
Whether it is the grades when he was studying before, or Zhang Chu's current mix, plus Zhang Chuchang is still a little handsome, he shouldn't be the one who is the object.
"I have an upset throat and can't sing. ”
Zhang Chu smiled and replied after hearing this, he didn't have any problems with his throat, he just didn't want to sing much. He didn't sing just now, and now he doesn't want to find a female classmate to sing with, especially a certain girl.
"Zhang Chu, how about we sing one song?"
While talking to Lao Lian, Liu Camellia ran over and asked. This girl still has a narrow look in her eyes, thinking that she came over on purpose to make fun of Zhang Chu.
"No, I have an upset throat today, and I just drank a lot of alcohol. You can just sing it, I'll listen to it. ”
Zhang Chu smiled, with a group of old classmates, without the interference of something, his mentality was actually very good. Looking at the once familiar faces, the joy of the room was wanton, and the things that were once far away began to slowly approach.
"Well, I'll let you go today. Zheng Xue is waiting for you, and now she doesn't have to sing. ”
Liu Camellia originally came to play an outpost for someone, but seeing that Zhang Chu really couldn't sing, this girl didn't force Zhang Chu, and returned to her position with a smile.
Some things are in the past, and Zhang Chu doesn't want to pick them up, not to mention that the things in the past have caused him a lot of damage. As for retaliating with some kind of caution, that's just a thought.
They are all classmates, they are all people in the neighborhood, and Zhang Chu can't do that kind of thing. That's what he is, and it doesn't matter much about whether or not he is born again.
"Xiao Chu, are you back? I have something to talk to you about. ”
What was originally a very boring class reunion has now turned into a joy for all, and although it costs a little money, it is still worth it. A class of classmates didn't actually sleep much last night, playing cards and chatting until dawn.
Early in the morning, Zhang Chu yawned and pulled a few people back to the countryside with him. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone has something to do.
As soon as I got home, Zhang Chu's father was sitting in the room smoking, and Zhang Chu's mother and Zhang Yan were also there, but Zhang Chu's mother's face was not very good. Seeing that Zhang Chu was back, Zhang's father stopped Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu had never seen this kind of situation in his previous life, that is, the two leaders of the family quarreled. Quarrels in previous lives, poverty is the original sin.
From watching his parents fight at home when he was a child, and then he was scolding, until Zhang Chu became an adult. This kind of scene is not uncommon in the Zhang family, and it can't be persuaded no matter what, which was also one of the reasons why Zhang Chu avoided going home.
In an era when the whole people look to money, poverty is almost the original sin of disharmony in all families. Zhang Chu's father can't make much money, but he has to smoke a pack of acacia birds for two yuan a pack to smoke, which is now a mid-range cigarette in Zhang Chu.
What's more, drink alcohol at every meal, and it's liquor. He never drank the glutinous rice wine at home, and he would lose his temper if he didn't have wine.
Although Zhang Chu's mother can only do stupid things, but the family has no money, how can she provide Zhang Chu's father with this? A man earns money and goes home, but the family does not give it, this is the responsibility of a woman.
But men can't earn much money to go home, and when they get home, they have to pretend to be an uncle, so how can a woman take it out? From childhood to adulthood, every quarrel in the family is because of this reason, and there is no second one.
As time went by, Zhang Chu's mother also lost her heart for her man, and she looked down on Zhang Chu's father more and more. A little thing can also ridicule Zhang Chu's father, and the quarrels at home are becoming more and more frequent.
But now, there is no shortage of money in his family, why are these two quarreling again? Zhang Chu glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and then snorted.
"Hmm. ”
Whatever it is, it's going to be solved now. Zhang Chu felt that he should talk to his parents about the family affairs, so that they should stop arguing over trivial matters.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu sat down, Zhang Yong was not there, as if he was giving a gift. After that guy went on a blind date with two girls, he took a fancy to one of them, and now he is trying his best.
"I don't want to go out next year and want to do something at home. ”
Seeing Zhang Chu sitting over, Zhang Chu's father hesitated and said his decision. Isn't this a good thing? Why didn't the look on his mother's face look very happy, which made Zhang Chu a little puzzled.
"It's good not to go out, you can't make any money outside anyway, it's better to help my mother do something at home, she is tired at home alone." ”
Zhang Chu didn't give his father face at all, and directly picked the key point. My dad earns that little money every year, and to be honest, he can't do anything but support himself.
If you are at home, you can help your mother do a lot of things, and you don't have to work so hard for your mother. And the little money he earned, Zhang Chu can fully supply it now.
"No, your dad is going to make trouble......"
Zhang's mother saw that Zhang Chu was so cheerful, and replied a little anxiously. It's not so easy for Zhang's father to stay at home to help her, this person is so lazy and used to it.
"I discussed with Xiao Chu myself, why do you have so much care about your woman's family. Xiao Chu is also the boss himself, and he is more knowledgeable than you, a country woman. ”
Zhang Chu's mother just started, and was swallowed back by Zhang's father's glare. At this time, Zhang's father was still a little bit there, and then he told Zhang Chu about his plans.
"I want to contract the reservoir in the mountains behind our village. ”
"Uh......"
Zhang Chu finally knew why his mother was a little unhappy, the reservoir in the back mountain was a big pit at this time, and whoever contracted lost money.
Several people in the village have contracted, but none of them have lasted for three years. The contract price over there is also getting lower and lower, and still no one is trying it.
The fish stocked every year will not be recovered in the end. I saw a lot of big fish in it, but I couldn't pull it when I pulled the net.
In addition, the brigade has a hard and fast rule that the water in that reservoir cannot be drained, because the hundreds of acres of paddy fields below the reservoir are cultivated by the water of the reservoir.
This rigid rule has made many people look at the reservoir and sigh, if they don't drain the water in the reservoir, how will they know where the fish they have stocked have gone? All the reasons around have been investigated, and there is no problem, and the reason can only be found when the reservoir is drained.
But because of this regulation, other people don't think much about contracting the reservoir, and the reservoir is now directly idle, and it is in a state that no one cares about.
In fact, if you put a little effort into it, the small fish and shrimp in the reservoir can produce a lot every year, and it is no problem to earn back the money contracted by the reservoir.
"It's not impossible to contract a reservoir, what are you going to do?"
Others don't know, but Zhang Chu knows that the reservoir is actually a big treasure. There is a big profit in the whole process, but you have to change your thinking.
His father wanted to contract the reservoir, and Zhang Chu was more concerned about what to do. Their family is not bad for Zhang Chu's parents to earn some hard-earned money, but they always have to find something to do for them.
Zhang Chu's mother can't be idle, and if she doesn't let her do things, she will find something to do. And Zhang Chu's father can't let him be idle, if he is idle, he will mess around, this Zhang Chu is very clear.
After two years, because the coal truck on the road can have a little extra income, Zhang Chu and the countrymen here are now all addicted to gambling. Mahjong is lazy to play, and it is a fast and convenient way to gamble or buy a horse.
What Miss Bai's limerick poem, what zodiac, all of them are memorized, even those children who are still reading know it.
Zhang Chu's father had fallen into these things in his previous life, so Zhang Chu felt that it was better to find something for them to do, so as not to be idle and have problems, and those who couldn't be idle would cause something to come out when the time came.
"I contracted the reservoir not to raise fish, but to build sheds around it, and then raise ducks, chickens and pigs. You don't have to worry about it, it's easy to manage. ”
Seeing that his son was not so opposed, Zhang's father told his plan. He had been in the southern flower city, where there was a lot of farming, and he had been in contact with it.
"Female ducks can lay eggs and sell them for money, and male ducks can be sold as meat ducks. We have coal miners here in town, so we should be able to do this. And the life of the people in the neighborhood is also better, and some festivals and festive times will also need it. ”
Zhang Chu glanced at his father, and measured in his heart how serious he was about this matter. After thinking about the situation of his father's previous life, Zhang Chu felt that he still had to talk about it first.
"Can you eat enough? It's a bit hard to raise these things, you won't be able to raise them halfway through, will you?"
Zhang Chu's family had raised water ducks in their previous life, and this was not very hard. But with the addition of raising chickens and pigs, Zhang Chu is quite skeptical of his father's ability.
