During the Chinese New Year, due to the desertion of the house, Dongmei and Wei Guo went to the health center of Baoguo in Nanyang Town to celebrate the New Year.

To the consternation of Dongmei and Weiguo, Baoguo bought a piece of land in front of the hospital last year, and this year he has built a small two-story building.

Exactly like the Baoguo plan, there are three houses on the second floor, which are Wei Guo's mother's room, the room of the two children, and the room of Baoguo and his wife Xiaofang.

The first floor was divided into five façade rooms, which were rented out separately.

And Zhang Pan's parents, who used to live in the garden station, are one of the tenants.

In a rented house, they started a business selling spices.

There is a custom of Guanzhong people for the New Year, that is, they eat noodles in the morning and at noon, and at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the family sits around and eats plates.

The so-called eating plate means that the neighbors have a good relationship, or relatives who live relatively closely, make a dish by one person, and then serve it, eat and chat in the host's house, and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

During the Chinese New Year, it is the period when the days are shortest and the nights are the longest.

So, just after six o'clock, it got dark.

When Xiaofang brought all the five dishes she cooked, Zhang Pan's parents also brought up the three dishes she cooked.

Dongmei hadn't seen Zhang Pan's parents for several years.

She only vaguely remembers the appearance of Zhang Pan's parents when she was at the garden station.

However, when the current Zhang Pan's parents appeared in front of him, Dongmei couldn't recognize them.

She clearly remembered that Zhang Pan's mother was burned by hot oil because she was cooking, and because she had no money to see a doctor, she borrowed money from her.

At that time, Zhang Pan's mother was wearing patched clothes, her hair was dirty and messy on her head, and the pair of glasses on her eyes were more like reading glasses.

And Zhang Pan's father was wearing two different shoes, and they were so broken that they couldn't wear them.

I saw that the current Zhang Pan's mother was wearing a red tweed coat and pointed high-waisted leather shoes......

She walked in with two dishes in her hand.

After coming in, Zhang Pan's mother recognized Dongmei at a glance.

After she put the two dishes on the table, she excitedly stepped forward to take Dongmei's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I've been waiting for you for a few years, and I want to meet you again every year, but I'm waiting for you for the New Year this year." ”

Dongmei looked at Zhang Pan's mother in front of her, her hair was neatly tied back, and she was very cleanly combed.

The pair of glasses that I wore before like reading glasses have also been replaced with red-rimmed, very fashionable myopia glasses.

Dongmei said happily: "Zhang Panma, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have not only become beautiful, but also younger." ”

Zhang Pan's mother said with a smile: "I used to be poor, I didn't eat the last meal, I quarreled with Zhang Pan's father every day, and I didn't bother to clean up myself, but now the business is good, and my life is well-off, and I don't have to quarrel with Zhang Pan's father, so I am naturally young and beautiful." ”

Hearing that Zhang Pan's parents, who were poor and white before, also started to do business, Wei Guo asked with concern: "What business are you doing now?"

Bao Guo, who was opening a drink, said: "They rented a storefront room for us and sold spices below." ”

Hearing that Zhang Pan's parents were selling spices, Wei Guo praised and said: "This business is good, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all just needed, and they are all indispensable." ”

At this time, Zhang Pan's father led his two children, Zhang Pan and his daughter Zhang Yu, walked in.

Zhang Pan's father said happily: "In the past, poor couples declined for a hundred days, and one day they were fine, but they quarreled, but now they are busy doing business every day, thinking about how to make money every day, and there is no time to think nonsense, let alone quarrel." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Pan's father walked in and put the last dish in his hand, the sharp pepper egg, on the table.

When Dongmei saw the current Zhang Pan's father, compared with the man who was covered with dirt a few years ago, wearing tattered clothes, and having rotten shoes that his toes were outside.

She was very stunned, and it was difficult to connect the energetic person in front of her who was wearing sneakers, jeans, and packing up with the sloppy person before.

Dongmei said happily: "Father Zhang Pan, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your appearance has changed a lot." ”

Zhang Pan's father is still walking a little lame, he is very shy.

He said: "Before, the poor didn't even have complete clothes, but now we have become rich by selling spices. ”

Saying that, Zhang Pan's father asked the two children to be called Dongmei and Uncle and Aunt Weiguo.

Zhang Pan's mother took out the money from her wallet and said: "A few years ago, I always wanted to pay you back the money you lent me for medical treatment, but I couldn't see you. ”

Saying that, Zhang Pan's mother stuffed the money she borrowed from Dongmei's medical treatment into Dongmei's hand.

Dongmei didn't want Zhang Pan's mother's money, and said: "You are starting a business now, and when the time comes, you will make the business bigger, and it will not be too late to pay me back." ”

Zhang Pan's mother stuffed the money into Dongmei's hand and said, "I sell spices now, although the money is not much, but there is absolutely no problem with being well-off, you just take it." ”

Zhang Pan's father also said beside him: "Sister Dongmei, the money is a thing, my brother settles the accounts, and if you borrow and repay, you can accept it." ”

couldn't resist the husband and wife, so Dongmei accepted the money.

Zhang Pan's mother saw that Dongmei accepted the money, and said happily: "Sister Dongmei, I won't tell you, Zhang Pan's father and I, after the New Year, we are ready to do a big business." ”

After Baoguo opened the wine and poured it full for everyone, he said: "Don't look at Zhang Pan's parents, they are small and ambitious." ”

Xiao Fang adjusted the last cold dish next to her and said: "The two of them, not only sell seasonings, but also prepare to go to the rehabilitation road after the New Year, buy some children's and adults' clothes, as well as toys and other things, and continue to expand the type and scale of business." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei praised the two of them and said: "You guys are really amazing, if you continue like this, you will soon become a 10,000 yuan household." ”

Xiao Fang put the dishes on the table, poured the wine next to each other and said, "Sister-in-law, people have long been 10,000 yuan households." ”

Hearing that the couple who were so poor that they were already 10,000 yuan households before, Dongmei was both surprised and happy for them: "You guys are really amazing, this speed of getting rich is fast." ”

Wei Guo couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and said: "Doing business, it's not as good as us going to work as workers, dead bonuses, dead wages, as long as people are kind, as long as they are diligent, as long as they are diligent and thrifty, the money will come quickly." ”

After Xiao Fang was done, she also sat down.

She said: "These two people, from morning to night, never rest, even on weeks and legal holidays, are also open as usual, and never spend a penny, you say, can you get rich fast?"

Zhang Pan's mother saw that Xiaofang was ridiculing them, so she said: "Our diligence and economy are on the one hand, and another important reason is that Baoguo and Xiaofang are willing to rent their storefronts to us, otherwise, without such a good geographical location, how can our business be so good." ”

Zhang Pan's father also thanked Baoguo and Xiaofang and said: "At the beginning, after you built the building, we didn't have the money to rent your façade room, you would rather take credit than rent to outsiders, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Bao Guo proposed that everyone hold up their wine glasses and said: "When I was at the garden station, I could see that you husband and wife, although they are poor, although they quarrel every day, but you are kind-hearted, have no bad intentions, and are optimistic and positive, full of hope for the future, you say, such a good person as you, I don't rent the façade to you, who do you rent it to?"

After speaking, Bao Guo said happily: "It's the New Year, I wish you all a happy New Year, and at the same time, thank my brother and sister-in-law's family for coming to me for the New Year, and I also wish Zhang Pan's parents a better and bigger business." ”

After everyone drank, Zhang Pan's father said happily: "It's good to get rich, when I was poor before, I didn't have to eat, I didn't have to wear, and I could only resist when I was sick, and my wife quarreled with me every day, but now, we eat well and dress well, and we are not afraid of getting sick, nor worrying about my wife quarreling with me." ”

Zhang Pan's mother said while eating vegetables: "When I was with you before, the reason why I quarreled with you was because I couldn't see the future, and I was worried that the children would suffer like us, but now the days are thriving, as long as you are willing to work, you can get rich, and I am too lazy to quarrel with you." ”

Zhang Pan's father said: "Say a thousand, say 10,000, it is a good policy of the state, encourage everyone to get rich, encourage everyone to start a business, and encourage us poor people to live a good life by relying on our own efforts." ”

Zhang Pan's mother said: "Yes, so the wall of my house, always hang the portrait of Chairman Mao and Deng Xiaoping, we get up every morning, we have to bow to Chairman Mao and Deng Xiaoping, thank Chairman Mao for building New China, thank Deng Xiaoping for leading the reform and opening up, our people's days, it is really getting better and better." ”

Zhang Pan's father said: "Again, the reason why we work so hard is for our children, so that our children can receive a good education in the future, unlike us, who have no knowledge, no culture, and no education." ”

Zhang Pan's mother looked at her son and said: "My son Zhang Pan, he has liked martial arts since he was a child, and when he grows up, I will send him to our Dharma martial arts school, let him learn martial arts, and become a kung fu star in the future." ”

After speaking, Zhang Pan's mother looked at her daughter Zhang Yu and said: "My daughter, not only is she born to dance, but she also dances very well, when she grows up, I will send her to the provincial dance school, train her well, and let her become a dancer in the future." ”

Zhang Pan's father suddenly took Zhang Pan's mother's hand and said: "In order to train our children to become talents, we will work hard and do business hard from now on to realize your expectations for our children." ”

The husband and wife, looking at each other, are full of expectations for the future.

Hearing Zhang Pan's parents' ardent hopes for their children, Baoguo and Xiaofang also looked forward to the future of their two children.

Xiaofang looked at her daughter Xixi and said, "I think that in the future, I will let my daughter be like me, be an angel in white, heal and save people." ”

Baoguo looked at his son Chenchen and said: "My child, how do you feel that you don't dare to be interested in the profession of a doctor, so you like electricity, and when you can't grow up, let him be an electrician." ”

And Dongmei and Weiguo looked at Taotao and Nana, not knowing what work to let them do.

However, compared to Baoguo and Xiaofang, as well as the children of Zhang Pan's parents, Taotao and Nana are already very old and know what they want to do.

So, the couple asked the two children what they wanted to do in the future.

Tao Tao likes English, so he wants to be a translator in the future.

Nana, on the other hand, told her parents that she would be like a computer engineer in the future.

When the husband and wife heard Nana's ambitions, they were stunned.

Because the two of them didn't know anything about computers, they didn't think at all that Nana wanted to work in computers.

However, the expectations of parents are the expectations of parents, and the thoughts of children are the thoughts of children, and there is always a certain gap between ideals and reality.

When Zhang Pan grew up, he did not become a kung fu star, but became a train driver.

And Zhang Yu did not become a dancer, but she became a kindergarten teacher, teaching dance to children full-time.

However, Baoguo's two children were guessed by Baoguo.

Chenchen became an excellent electrician and followed the State Grid to work in Saudi Arabia.

Hee became a nurse and worked at the county hospital.

As for Tao Tao and Nana, when the two children grew up, they both inherited their father's business and returned to the oil field.

It's just that Nana's job is computer information maintenance, and Taotao's job is an ordinary oil worker, but through his own efforts, he has become a writer.
