Chapter 17 It's All Family

Zhang Yi's idea of rushing back to Xiaozhang Village for lunch ultimately did not come true.

Yes, Zhang Jiasheng's family, who have already learned a little about Zhang Yi through Zhang Ergou, is not stupid, how could they not seize this opportunity and hug the thigh of Zhang Yi's cheap cousin-in-law?

Zhang Jiasheng's family does not have to worry about food and clothing. However, it is only enough to have food and clothing, and it is not easy to eat a meaty lunch.

No, in order to entertain Zhang Yi, a distinguished guest. Zhang Jiasheng's mother not only gritted her teeth and took out the last bit of bacon and sausage saved during the Chinese New Year last year, but also slaughtered one of her old hens that were laying eggs that she valued more than any treasure.

"Mother-in-law, you are too polite, you do this, how embarrassing is it for me to do this." Looking at the stewed old hen placed in the center of the table, Zhang Yi's face suddenly turned slightly red.

Yes, for this era. He was no longer at a loss, he knew it well. In the eyes of modern people, the old hen that can no longer be ordinary, and what does the old hen that can be brought to the table at any time mean to the ordinary peasant family of this era. That means a steady stream of eggs! And it is by relying on these endless eggs. They were able to get back the needles, threads, and salt sauces they needed for their daily lives from the vendors......

"You're welcome, it's all family, it should be, it should be." When Zhang Jiasheng's mother heard this, she waved her hand again and again. He explained with a warm smile on his face.

"Hypocrisy." When Zhang Ergou heard this, he immediately muttered dissatisfied. Yes, you know, Zhang Yi is just his sister's cousin. For Zhang Jiasheng, he is just a cousin. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that once his real brother-in-law came to the door, but there was no hospitality, but he was scolded and blasted out of the door. Can this be called a family?

"Ergouzi, what did you say?" Zhang Yi heard the second dog's muttering, but unfortunately, he didn't believe what he heard. After all, it was Zhang Pandi's mother-in-law who spoke just now. Speaking of which, he is Zhang Ergou's elder. As a junior, is there such a burying elders?

"It's nothing, Brother Yi, this is my sister's house, you're welcome, eat, this old hen is fragrant, you eat more." When Zhang Ergou heard this, he shook his head again and again, and replied with a slightly red face. The next moment, he really didn't have any politeness, and began to eat heedlessly.

"Ergouzi, I said can you pay attention to your image." Looking at Zhang Ergou, who was immersed in eating, Zhang Yi was speechless. Yes, I know that this is at your Zhang Ergou's brother-in-law's house, but you can't be too willful, no matter how you say it, you should also pay attention to basic politeness, after all, the owner here hasn't eaten yet. You don't care about burying your head and eating first, what is this called?

"Nope. It's okay, Ergouzi is such a character. We all know, it's fine. Looking at Zhang Ergou, who was immersed in eating, Zhang Jiasheng's mother showed a slight pain on her face, but soon, she seemed to think of something, she smiled awkwardly and explained.

"Ha, then, mother-in-law, I'm not welcome. Come on, everyone. Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded noncommittally, and finally picked up the chopsticks on the side of the bowl.

The meal was a great one. After all, pure natural, organic, pollution-free vegetables and absolutely pure farmer hens are not something that Zhang Yi from the 21st century can eat often.

........

The so-called full of wine and food is good to talk about, just when Zhang Yi's stomach was round and he was about to put down his chopsticks. Zhang Jiasheng's mother, who had been impatient for a long time, finally started the topic after dinner.

"Uncle his, you see that my family is prosperous, and I have a family to support, and it's not a matter of staying at home every day to take care of these dozen acres of land, or you can give him a chance and let him help you run errands, okay?"

"Huh?" When Zhang Yi heard this, he was stunned. He looked sideways at Zhang Ergou slightly.

However, at this time, Zhang Ergou didn't dare to look at him. The eyes are a little dodgy.

"Brother Yi'er, don't blame the second dog, I found it under the side knock. Brother Yi'er, I really don't want to live my life in such a daze, I want to follow you and go out and see around. Zhang Jiasheng looked at Zhang Yi and looked at Ergouzi with a suspicious expression, and couldn't help blushing, he stiffened his scalp and hurriedly explained.

Yes, because the situation at home is not bad, he was fortunate enough to go to a private school for a few years.

Although, in the end, he didn't even get mixed up as a child. However, he already had the idea that he was not willing to live a life with his face to the loess and his back to the sky. Before, there was no chance, he had no ability to make any changes to his current life, but now, the opportunity was in front of him, and of course he didn't want to let it go.

"I don't blame Ergou, you really want to learn to do business like Ergou?" Hearing this, Zhang Yi shook his head and asked rhetorically.

"I don't want to live on these dozen acres of land when I'm old." Zhang Jiasheng nodded and responded.

"His eldest brother, Jiasheng's thoughts, I, as a mother, know best. For the sake of the family, you can help him, our old Zhang family will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. Zhang Jiasheng's mother sighed with slightly red eyes and said in response.

"Brother Yi'er, if you feel embarrassed, forget it." At this moment, Zhang Pandi came to the hall from the west wing with Xiaobao in his arms. Hearing this, she blushed slightly and said embarrassedly.

"It's not embarrassing, I'm just thinking about the safety of my family. You should also know that now I have arranged manpower in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns. If Jiasheng wants to do this, he must go farther to the village or county seat. This mountain is high and the road is far away, so we have to be cautious. Zhang Yi nodded and explained.

"Huh? This? When Zhang Jiasheng's mother heard this, she was stunned.

"Really? That, that's still it. When Zhang Pandi heard this, he was also anxious. After all, Jia Sheng is her top beam, if something really happens, how can she and Xiaobao live.

"Brother Yi, anyway, Dazhang Village is so big, otherwise, let my brother-in-law do it with me." When Zhang Ergou heard this, he finally couldn't sit still, he stood up and proposed.

"Are you sure? You must know that the market in Dazhang Village is so big. Zhang Yi asked with a strange expression.

"I'm sure. Anyway, I'm full alone, and the whole family is not hungry, so I won't be unable to eat a mouthful. Zhang Ergou nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, then it's decided. In the future, you will help Ergou a little. I'll consider adding supplies to the two of you. As for whether you can sell it or not, and how much profit you can make, it depends on your own ability. When Zhang Yi heard this, he finally didn't say more, he nodded and responded.

"Thank you, Brother Yi'er, I will definitely cooperate with Ergouzi well." When Zhang Jiasheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and he assured loudly.

"Thank you, Brother Yi, and Ergou." Hearing that he was just doing business at his own doorstep, Zhang Pandi suddenly sighed. For a moment, there was already a deep sense of gratitude in the eyes of Zhang Yi and Zhang Ergou.
