Chapter 56: Bragging
"Auntie, this is what my mother asked me to take, if you don't believe me, you go back and ask her."
Staring at the newly bought bicycle, Zhang Chen galloped all the way from Zhangwan along the newly built Zhangba Highway, and arrived at the Yangwan Brigade in less than forty minutes.
Aunt Aihong was sitting at the door feeding the chickens with her cousin in her arms, and the little cousin hadn't woken up yet, and the little thing was sleeping in the cradle, her face was flushed.
Uncle Yang Aiwen got up early in the morning and went to the field to dig a ditch to drain the water and did not come back, the late rice in the field at this time is everywhere there is a piece of yellow cancan, some fields have already been harvested, but some fields still have water, so Yang Aiwen went to dig a drainage ditch in the morning, and it is estimated that the water should be opened for a few days.
The old Liu family has 6 brothers and sisters, Liu Aiping is the first to get married, and Zhang Chen is also the first child among the children of the old Liu family, so before they got married, Liu Aihong and Liu Aiqin actually took him with them, and the relationship was not much worse than that of mother and son.
For Zhang Chen's nephew, even after starting a family and giving birth to a child, that affection is still there, Liu Aihong is no less painful than her own children, and it is not because these things can disappear.
The conditions of the old Yang family have become more and more bad since the separation, the eldest of the Yang family has moved the things in the old house cleanly, I heard that the old sister-in-law borrowed money from her mother's family to build a four-room two-story building on the side of the highway, and the old house left an empty shell here, although it is clearly said to be reserved for the younger brother and younger siblings to live, but it is a lock on the door all day long.
Liu Aihong is not the kind of character who is willing to beg for people lightly, and she will never go in to take a look at those rooms if she locks it, because the hall house is half of the family, so there is no problem of zĂ i monopoly, and people will naturally still use it when they leave, so it will not be demolished half.
Lean your bike against the wall.
It was not the first time Zhang Chen had come to Aunt Yangwan's house, so he went into the house like his own family, moved a chair and came out to sit next to Liu Aihong, threw the fish in his hand on the ground of the hall, and the pork was skewered with straw, so he had to hang it on the bamboo head of the clothes pole.
"Auntie, I went home from school yesterday to catch the fish in my pond, and it has been growing for almost two years."
As soon as he got home from school yesterday afternoon, Zhang Chen went to Baihuwan to catch two herring fish of more than 5 catties in his own fish pond, and rode a bicycle to his grandmother's house in Taoyuan in the evening.
At this time, pork is not expensive, a pound of meat is more than two pieces, but relative to the income, ordinary people only eat once every New Year's holiday, usually cut a knife is to cut some fat back to boil lard, Zhang Chen chopped so much fat is also saved this thought.
Don't talk about eating meat in the current situation of the aunt's family, even the lard is afraid that it will not be often, listening to the old lady at home before, the aunt's family this time in order to take down some old things, but also spent a small amount of money in the family, I am afraid that life is not good.
"The fish is at home, you can eat it, and you can buy some meat for what, and it's not a festival."
Zhang Chen laughed twice and teased his chubby cousin, to be honest, this doll is really not cute, and it has nothing to do with cuteness, but a two-year-old child can still win a lot of points if he is a little baby fat.
The nephew instigated his brother-in-law to contract Baihuwan and buy stocks, and the old Liu family also heard Liu Aiping talk about it many times, especially some time ago, Liu Shuhua and Liu Shuping called back and said that their brother-in-law paid for them to set up a factory in Shanghai, and the old Liu family was even more happy.
So Liu Aihong didn't refuse as much as Zhang Chen imagined after Zhang Chen said a lot of things to ask her to sell vegetables.
Originally, Zhang Chen had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but this time it was almost like a fist punching into a ball of cotton, and it was completely unmotivated.
"Auntie, my mother didn't want to come and tell you, saying that you would definitely not do it, so my father had to let me come."
In fact, Liu Aihong originally disagreed, the eldest sister Aiping asked her mother to tell her mother about it a few days earlier, but where was she willing to abandon the family's fields and land, it was this separation that made her hold her breath, maybe selling vegetables is better than farming.
In the final analysis, it is her brother-in-law who makes her believe a lot, if she changes someone and doesn't put the money in front of her first, it is estimated that she will not believe it, even if she listens, she will not listen to you.
"Are you all growing vegetables in Baihe Village, your father asked me to go to the township to sell vegetables is to sell the vegetables grown in your village, planting so many vegetables, even ten people can't sell them, I don't know what your father thinks, your mother will definitely quarrel with him when the time comes."
Liu Aihong is also an understanding person, but she really doesn't understand this matter.
"Auntie, you don't care about this, just sell it anyway, my dad has been decorating in the township, and the vegetable shop can start selling vegetables before the Chinese New Year, my dad asked me to ask if you want to go, if you don't go, you have to find someone else."
Zhang Chen obviously opened his eyes and said nonsense, he bought the building, Zhang Wenlin asked people to decorate a few days ago, and he also carried out decoration according to his ideas, if you want to say that this store sells vegetables, or his attention, Zhang Wenlin heard that this building is used to sell vegetables, he agreed without saying a word.
Why?
It's very simple, when Baihe Village has a big harvest at the end of the year, what is the most stuff? What's the most worrying thing about him right now?
It's just a dish.
If a large pile of vegetables, peppers, tomatoes and all kinds of vegetables cannot be sold at that time, not only the vegetable farmers in Baihuwan will make trouble, but Zhang Wenlin himself is afraid that he will be crushed to death by the vegetables, and even the "village-to-village" poverty alleviation plan with Baihe Village will be aborted.
Now it is also his idea to let Liu Aihong sell vegetables, in fact, there is nothing to do with Zhang Wenlin and his wife at all, but Zhang Chen has no confidence if he doesn't pull the banner, and his Lao Tzu listens to him, but it doesn't mean that his aunt Aihong also listens to him.
"Your father just opens his mouth, it's good that it's so simple, how to sell vegetables without planting fields and land at home, and he won't be poked in the backbone by others if he is deserted."
Zhang Chen also knew that he might not be able to convince her for a while, and it happened that his uncle Yang Aiwen came back from the field with his head and trouser legs, and he was calling him from afar.
"Uncle!"
"Why did you come here so early today, what is your dad busy at home?"
"It's not hot to ride in the morning, and my dad grows vegetables at home."
Yang Aiwen also knows what Zhang Chen said about his Lao Tzu growing vegetables at home, not to mention his brother-in-law recently, even the whole Batou Township knows that Zhang Wan Zhang Wenlin is engaged in greenhouse vegetables, Batou Township is so big, Baihe Village is a big village, and most of the fields in the village were either covered with vegetable greenhouses or crowded with saplings overnight.
There are many people who say that he is dead and tossing, and even the people of Baihe Village are said to have a bad brain, and the people of a village listen to him magnifying the cannon there, pulling out the crops to plant vegetables in the greenhouse, and at the end of the year, the money will know what it feels like if there is no food to eat.
The people who watch the jokes are naturally batch after batch, but Yang Aiwen doesn't worry about this kind of thing, the eldest brother-in-law Zhang Wenlin is a hundred times more shrewd than him, this matter must be thoughtful, but this matter is always mysterious and makes people feel uncomfortable.
"This herring is not small, it is from your fish pond."
Looking at the herring on the ground in the house, Yang Aiwen turned to look at Zhang Chen.
"Well, I caught it last night, my dad plans to pull the net and make a net after a while, there are a lot of seedlings the year before last, and my dad said that there should be more fish in the pond than the year before last."
"When the time comes, ask your father to keep two big fish for the New Year."
This point will not be polite to his brother-in-law's eldest brother-in-law, Yang Aiwen, otherwise it would be too angry, even if he didn't say that Zhang Wenlin was stunned to bring nearly 100 catties of fish last year, it would be better to say it.
Zhang Chen smiled, his uncle is too careful, he doesn't know what his uncle's idea is, the little fish in his fish pond A few days ago, the old man was still talking about whether it would not be sold this year and left it for his family to eat.
There are a lot of fish, tens of thousands or even 100,000 catties, and the employees of the construction company at home, relatives, and acquaintances in the village are afraid that they will have to send some meaning, and if they want to sell, it will be too little.
"My dad said that the fish in the pond will not be sold this year, and they will all be raised at home to eat, not to mention two, two loads will do."
"Speak big, have the same virtue as your Lao Tzu."
Liu Aihong's words made Zhang Chen laugh twice.
