Hearing Fang Aobai say this, Zhang Yongliang looked at the township party in the village, he patted his buttocks, shook his head and stood up and said, "Everyone, look, this eldest nephew is the eldest nephew, his own family!" After speaking, he turned his black triangular eyes and stroked the few hairs he had with his hand.

Ou Chunhua feels that his man looks like the most official. She also stood up, ready to swagger out of the courtyard of Lao Li's house with this village chief man.

Zhang Xiaoqiang came over and sent the uncle's family out.

Ou Chunhua's pockets were bulging, and at first glance, she was carrying a bottle of liquor.

Zhang Zhen also stuffed a bottle in his pocket, this family is really similar, they don't suffer a little loss, they want to dip any light.

As soon as the family left, several people in the village began to discuss.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to care about the old Zhang family's at all, and it didn't have much to do with her current self.

Li Dabiao and his two sons continued to greet everyone, and several men in the village drank and walked out of the door of the Li family with the support of their mother-in-law.

Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and saw the house she lived in when she was married before, but it was not demolished because there were some sundries piled up all the time. As soon as she saw these old scenes, she couldn't help but think of the past, about her grandmother.

Standing on tiptoe, feeding the little chicks in the yard, when she saw Zhang Xiaoqiang, she always looked smiling.

Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen always snuggled up to her as if she were her own grandmother, watching her change her brother's clothes by herself.

This time, Grandma was gone, and she could no longer see her kind and kind face.

Thinking of this, my eyes moistened again.

Fang Aobai walked over, patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, grandma is gone, there are no regrets." She died peacefully, and she didn't suffer much" When she spoke, her voice was already hoarse, and he was also very sad these days. Especially when his grandmother was buried, Fang Aobai really cried.

Sending away all the township party members, a few helpers from their own homes, began to pack up and clean up the things in the courtyard.

Shen Cuihua was staring at the gift lists, for fear of missing a dime.

Soon, some cloths, quilts and other items sent by the village party and relatives were unloaded from all around the courtyard and stacked on a table of eight immortals.

All the money that came with the cash was also handed over to the owner Li Dabiao by the bookkeeper.

Fang Aobai took out his bag and paid all the money for the troupe.

The troupe owner looked at such a generous boss, he was very grateful, thanked him again and again, and then took the gift of Xie Xiaoqiang prepared by Zhang Xiaoqiang, two cigarettes and three bottles of wine, and said: "You are the most generous master I have ever met, and if you need anything in the future, you can come directly to the town to find me." I have a lot of famous characters here, as long as you order the name, I can invite them. ”

At this time, a young man outside came in and said, "Boss Chen, the stage has been dismantled, and all the things are installed, can we leave now?" ”

The head of the troupe said, "Let's go! ”

Then the other party said with a smile: "Goodbye!" ”

After Li Dabiao watched the people in the troupe leave, he said to his son: "Baiwa, this time it cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Fang Aobai said: "It's not much, it will cost more than 20,000 yuan in total." ”

Li Dabiao's mouth couldn't close for a long time.

In his opinion, this number is an astronomical number.

He said to his son, "We have spent so much money, and we have only recovered a lot of gift money, really." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Dad, grandma loved to be lively when she was alive, she was so good to us, no matter how much she spended, it was worth it." ”

The mother-in-law pouted and said, "Cut, why don't you give me money to spend?" ”

When I said this, it was really unpleasant.

Li Jun heard it on the side, he came over and said, "Mom, why do you love money so much, does my brother and sister-in-law spend less on us?" Look at the current life of our family, who can compare with it in the village? ”

Shen Cuihua couldn't say anything, so she twisted her ass to settle her account.

In the past few days since he came back, Fang Aobai and his family have not rested well, and if they are sad, they will look very tired.

Li Jun said: "Brother, you don't care about the rest of the house, go to my fish pond, there is my bedroom, you go and rest." ”

Li Jun gave the key to Zhang Xiaoqiang and asked them to go over and rest.

Fang Aobai took Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand and went to the fish pond together.

It's a nice place, even though it's winter, and there's a layer of ice on the water, and a few sparrows are jumping around on it.

The edge of the fish pond is overgrown with reeds, floating in the wind.

Standing here, you can see the whole village in the distance.

The house Li Jun built for himself is here, a blue cement bungalow.

When I opened the door, I was neatly furnished, and the walls were full of calligraphy works written by Li Jun himself.

Fang Aobai added some firewood and hay to the kang and heated it.

As soon as the kang was hot, the whole room was not as cold as when I first came in.

As soon as the temperature rises, drowsiness follows.

Closed the door, took off their shoes, and the two of them fell asleep.

These days when I went home, I was crowded on the big kang of the Li family at night, because the family was doing funerals, and some relatives also came, so the men squeezed a kang and the women squeezed a kang.

In this way, it must be a bad rest, and you have to stay in front of the mourning hall during the day.

Tired, this lay down, and the whole person immediately fell into a dream.

I don't know how long it took, when I heard someone knocking on the door, Zhang Xiaoqiang put on her coat, got up and opened the door.

Li Jun came in, mixed with some snowflakes.

It's snowing.

Li Jun said: "You are really tired, you have slept from yesterday afternoon until noon the next day, are you hungry?" ”

Saying this, Fang Aobai really felt so hungry.

The two followed Li Jun home together, and they had to have a good meal.

Li Jun said: "Mom makes whistle noodles at home, you must have not eaten in your hometown for a long time." ”

As soon as he heard the whistle, Fang Aobai's footsteps walked faster.

How did you sleep for so long?

Zhang Xiaoqiang felt embarrassed.

At home, the whistle noodles made by Shen Cuihua have been served on the table.

Fang Aobai directly picked up a bowl and ate it.

Zhang Xiaoqiang went to the kitchen again and cooked a bowl of noodles.

She also ate a bowl herself, although it was not very delicious, but it didn't matter if it tasted good or not, she would eat it.

Zhang Xiaoqiang noticed that the kitchen now uses a gas stove, which is indeed much better than before.

The bellows that I used to cook at home was already covered with dust. And the big black cauldron, which was still on the clay stove, and the lid of the wooden cauldron was there.

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the objects she was most familiar with before, and when she first got married, these objects were the most important part of her daily life.

She nostalgically pulled the bellows a few times, which kicked up a lot of dust, and she coughed a few times.

There is also a flat pole that carries water, and the bamboo knot in the middle is already black and shiny. The two large water tanks are still in place, and the baskets for collecting firewood are just under the boards.

His old life suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Here, aren't all women in the countryside living like this?

The daughter-in-law who carried water poured a full water tank and began to feed the chickens and make a fire to cook.

If there was no rebirth, no choice that she insisted on, and no patience in those years, Zhang Xiaoqiang, the current business elite, would be the rural woman.

Use it at sunrise and rest at sunset.

I have been living with my children for a lifetime.

Fang Aobai walked in and saw Zhang Xiaoqiang in a daze in the kitchen, he said, "Qiang'er, what's wrong with you?" Is it nostalgic or bittersweet here? ”

"you!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Seeing these things reminds me of the original days, and I feel emotional. ”

"So have you had enough of it now? Isn't it time to go back and see Dad? Fang Aobai knew that it was not easy to come back once, and he hadn't been to his father-in-law Zhang Yongchang's house since he came back these days.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Let's go, let's go together." ”

Fang Aobai walked into the house, carrying two bottles of wine and a cigarette, as well as a few cakes and the like, into a large paper bag.

Li Dabiao asked, "Baiwa, what are you doing here?" ”

"Qiang'er and I will go to my father-in-law's house to have a look!" Fang Aobai said.

After speaking, he went out with Zhang Xiaoqiang.

Shen Cuihua looked unhappy, she said to her man: "This white baby, her elbow is always outward, and she will give everything to others, as if our things don't need money, and she will give it away." ”

Although Li Dabiao agreed with what his mother-in-law said, he had no choice, who let his son pay so much money at once this time.

Fang Aobai and Zhang Xiaoqiang watched the changes in the village while walking, and met some acquaintances in the village on the way.

Everyone greeted them warmly, because the current Fang Aobai is a celebrity. Almost everyone who has watched the TV news has heard of this Fang always who came out of his village.

Now Fang Aobai is already an outstanding figure in everyone's mouth, and he is the pride of this village.

When I arrived at Zhang Yongchang's doorstep, I was almost unrecognizable.

The whole yard is newly built, and the house looks very trendy.

The gate was hidden, and when he walked into the courtyard, Zhang Yongchang may have heard the door knock in the house and came out.

He saw his daughter and son-in-law come to the door, and hurriedly asked, "How is your grandmother's posthumous affairs, have you finished thanking the township party?" ”

"Dad, I just came to see you, I'm sorry. Grandma's business was dealt with, and we left after the first seven days. Fang Aobai said.

"Yes, your grandmother is a good person, and you are really a filial son doing this." Zhang Yongchang praised his daughter.

When I entered the house, the furniture inside was brand new, and it was the most fashionable at the time.

Ge Yan was not at home, only Zhang Yongchang was reading at home alone.

He said, "Your mother Ge has gone to the village and will be back in a while." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Dad, you are living a very emotional life now. ”

"What, your mother Ge followed me, but she didn't suffer less, now that I have the conditions, I will definitely let her live a good life for a few days." Zhang Yongchang said.

As soon as Ge Yan came back and entered the door, he said, "Xiaoqiang, are you back, have you eaten?" You must be tired these days, and I'll make you some delicious food in a while. ”

"Mother Ge, we just eat, but we can consider lunch for lunch." Zhang Xiaoqiang also likes Ge Yan's cooking.

"Whatever you want to eat, let your mother make it for you. We have everything in our refrigerator. Zhang Yongchang pointed to the newly bought refrigerator and said.

I am really glad that my father can have such a life in his old age.

Zhang Yongchang poured tea and discussed some topics about the construction of the new countryside with his daughter and son-in-law.

He said to his daughter: "Lady Qiang, you are living a good life now, but you all came out of here, what good projects and good ways out can lead the villagers to develop together." ”

Fang Aobai also thought about this kind of thinking.

Isn't Li Jun the beneficiary? Although he is Fang Aobai's younger brother, he will get the moon first near the water.

Let Li Jun lead everyone to develop breeding, and Zhang Yongchang can develop planting?

Ge Yan said: "The idea is very good, the key is to change everyone's thinking mode, to make everyone fundamentally diligent." You see, those in the village who can go out to work have gone out, and those who don't want to go out have to live in the village. There's nothing higher to aspire to, that's all. ”

That's really the current situation.

Although there are several small factories in the village, they do not accommodate much labor.

Most people are envious of those who get rich first, but who can endure the bitterness of getting up early and being greedy for darkness? Who can understand the hardships and loneliness of starting a business!

Zhang Yongchang didn't come out of that step at the beginning.

No one reached out, no income for three years, and continued to invest.

He did all the work in the fields.

Including how many branches each fruit tree grew, he remembered.

All the hard work, in exchange for the joy of hanging fruit and harvest.

Now Zhang Yongchang has contracted dozens of acres of wasteland and planted apples and medicinal herbs.

Usually the work in the field is hired and done, and he is now the richest man in the village.

There are calluses on his shoulders and hands. This is the best testimony of hard work.

Fortunately, all these years of hard work have finally paid off, and Zhang Yongchang is very content to live such a life in his old age.

Zhang Yang is also attending college here now, and he comes back once a month.

The money he now pays for college is Zhang Yongchang's own, which is also his father's wish for many years.

My daughter and son are living so well now, and when I look back on the hard days before, I don't feel anything.

Zhang Yongchang said: "Qiang girl, you can take some time to see your grandparents in a while, they are old, and they see each other less, after all, they are all your relatives." ”

Fang Aobai said: "Dad, don't worry, we will go." ”

After talking for a long time, Ge Yan went to work in the kitchen.

There are a lot of dishes in the refrigerator, including meat and fish.

Zhang Xiaoqiang went to the kitchen and helped Ge's mother cook.

In the current kitchen, the furnishings are also quite good, plus Ge Yan usually loves to be clean, and the kitchen is spotless. (To be continued.) )
