Chapter 328: Ancestral Hall
"The four of us, Chen Xi, Qiu Lin and Jiang Jing. I went to your place on the second day of the new year and went back to the city in the afternoon. ”
Huang Yan's reply didn't surprise Zhang Chu, she wouldn't run this way alone. I guess those guys heard about the temple fair on their side somewhere, so they thought about coming over and having a look.
For Zhang Chu, I don't know what to say about the temple fair. They have to do it every year, and they repeat the same process every year, and there are no new tricks, and if you see too much, you feel that it's just like that.
People from other places like to run here, one is fresh and curious, and the other is to listen to others say that the gods here are very spiritual, and it is easy to come true after worshipping the gods. After chatting with Huang Yan, Zhang Chu hung up the phone, and at the end of the year, he was busy.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yong drove his wife back, and by the way, he also took some New Year's goods from his father-in-law's house and sent some to Zhang Chu's mother. Zhang Chu and Zhang Yan also ate some with them, and the taste was not bad.
When I was a child, I always looked forward to the New Year, and my family was poor at that time, so I could only eat meat during the New Year's Festival. For the little ones, they naturally love the New Year.
Because the New Year is not only meat to eat, but also sugar to eat and new clothes to wear. Go to relatives' houses for a walk, there are red envelopes to collect, and each child can also get some firecrackers to play with by themselves.
As I grew up, time changed. Fireworks and firecrackers are getting more and more new tricks, and the standard of living is getting higher and higher, but for people who grow up, they don't think the New Year is meaningful.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Yong and his wife came over to eat the group meal together, and the evening was to celebrate the New Year and welcome the new year. Zhang Yong's side sounded mahjong on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he stopped playing.
As long as the multiplier is not large, the winning and losing are limited, and the time is also long, which is more energy-consuming. Playing like this during the New Year, Zhang Chu's sister-in-law naturally won't say anything. She used to watch Zhang Yong lose too much, so she was talented.
If Zhang Yong wants to say how shrewd or good at gambling is, he won't lose so much. The key is that he obviously doesn't know how to gamble, but he still pretends to be a big head, gambles on a third public, and is instigated by others, so he starts a bank, plus luck is not good, who will lose if he doesn't lose?
Zhang Chuna did not go on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, nor did he play mahjong. Instead, he played with Zhang Yan and his parents and had a gala together. They played for a dollar, and the four of them played very energetically.
For him, it doesn't matter how many cards you play, what matters is who you're playing with. This kind of family play together scene is still quite happy and warm.
On the first day of the new year, the village paid New Year's greetings, and after walking around, Zhang Chu's family went to his uncle's house to eat. Zhang Chu's father's brothers, as well as their descendants, all gathered together and set up several tables.
This is rare, according to Zhang Chu's father, they discussed it together a few years ago. After all, they are brothers on their side, and if they don't unite themselves, they will lose face in the village.
Zhang Chu smiled at this, when their family was not good in the previous life, these brothers of Zhang Chu's father still thought about their family, and they all took care of their own family to live.
This is because he has earned money, and now his father can only work when he speaks, and with the help of several juniors, there is the current scene.
If Zhang Chu's father and his brothers had united earlier, their village would have been so small and swung to the middle. Even if their conditions are not very good, but the population is large, who wants to do what in the village has to ask what it means.
Now we have to add Zhang Chu's energy, and the people in the village have to put some thought into it. The situation in his previous life was getting farther and farther away from Zhang Chu's family.
"Xiao Chu, can the ancestral hall in our village be repaired? I see that the Wangjiawan side next door has been replaced with a new one, although the population of our side is smaller, how about it can be repaired slowly?"
During the meal, Zhang Chu's uncle sat on the upper seat, and the two Zhang Chu brothers and Zhang Chu's cousin who sold electrical appliances were qualified to sit and eat with several elders.
"It's a good thing to repair the ancestral hall, but how to settle the houses around the ancestral hall has to be said. My old house was demolished, and I don't need it now anyway. Other people's homes are different, and there are still people living there. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Chu thought about it and replied, people in the countryside love these. Seeing what other people's villages have repaired, their own villages also want to repair and repair them, and compare with each other to earn face.
It's just that Zhang Chu's village is so small, if every family really wants to pay for repairs, each family will have to pay a lot of money. And how to settle the few families next to the ancestral hall is also a problem.
"As for money, you can find someone to estimate the amount of work, as well as the compensation for demolishing the old one, and give me a figure. How about I personally contribute half and divide the remaining half among the families according to their population?"
It's not a problem to pay for everything yourself, and it doesn't cost much for them to build an ancestral hall here. However, Zhang Chu didn't want to take all the things on his head, so he gave this a plan, and they discussed how to do it.
"I'll give 50,000!" "I'll give 30,000!"
After Zhang Yong and Zhang Chu's cousin listened to Zhang Chu's words, they also gave a number. They are the two richest in the Zhang family, and the others can be evenly divided.
"Well, that's good. When I went back to the village for a meeting, I told your father and them that this matter would have to be handled by our Zhang family, and after future generations knew about it, we would have a light on our faces. ”
Zhang Chu's uncle said a little excitedly after hearing this, he mentioned it at this time, didn't he think that Zhang Chu would make more money, let the Zhang family take the lion's share, and then show off in the village?
"The road at the entrance of the village will be repaired by the way, our side is not far from the county road next to it, and it doesn't cost much to build all the cement roads. You estimate the price of this together, this one will not be evenly shared, voluntarily pay, no matter how much, I will pay if it is not enough!"
Zhang Chu's mother gave Zhang Chu a few glances on the side, but Zhang Chu ignored them. This kind of thing is to leave something for future generations, more out and less, that is a matter of one's own ability.
My mother looked at her at this time, probably because she didn't want to make too much money. She didn't have a good sense of Zhang Chu's uncles and uncles, as well as the people in the village, and she didn't care about the affairs of the village.
It's not selfishness, it's that I've had enough of the faces of the people in the village before. Zhang Chu knew what his mother was thinking, but some things were not for himself, but for the future.
The county road is a cement road, and as long as their village is connected, it will only look like a mile or two road. The paddy fields on both sides are the fields of their village, so it is easy to repair.
The villages above are connected to them, and according to the process of the previous life, they will have to wait for nearly ten years, and Zhang Chu can't wait. Now the two brothers have a car in the village, and the road has been repaired, and it is convenient for them.
Moreover, Zhang Chu's family built that reservoir, and when the output came up in the future, he also needed a convenient road. I can just take this opportunity to build the road to the reservoir, and it will be much more convenient for my own home.
