The Chinese New Year in 2001 had a lot of New Year's flavors that Zhang Tan couldn't remember.

The standard of living is generally not high, and the New Year can eat and drink better in a year, coupled with the slow pace of life, the New Year is indeed a very grand festival. Unlike in the future, the New Year will only be a six- or seven-day holiday, and the taste will already be weak when you have a meal and a party. And now, it's really the New Year, and everyone is gathered together to devote themselves to it.

This kind of atmosphere full of New Year's flavor, Zhang Tan enjoys it very much.

The only regret is that some time before the Chinese New Year, he went to the school to get his report card, and as a result, his ranking slipped to 39th, down three places.

Geography and Chinese are still the first in the class, and mathematics is not the last in the class. But physical chemistry still dominates the list, and political history has also declined a little. There are still too many trivial things, and he is busy with all kinds of things all day long, and he doesn't review his homework much, which causes others to progress and he regresses.

It's just a trivial matter, and Zhang Tan doesn't care very much.

Moreover, after this transcript was seen by Tan Mingxia, she did not scold him as Zhang Tan expected, but just sighed and told him that writing should be written, and the book should be read carefully.

Zhang Tan nodded, "I will." ”

Great relief.

Thereupon.

The getaway continues.

Chinese New Year's Eve soon approached, and Zhang Tan, who practiced calligraphy diligently, participated in the annual door-to-door and posting Spring Festival joint action.

The couplets of the old Zhang family, all of whom insist on handwriting by their own family.

Although it is not a scholarly family, the brush calligraphy passed down by grandfather Zhang Henong from his father-in-law, who taught Mr. Teach, has not been lost. Zhang Tan's third uncle, fourth uncle, and elder brother all got Zhang Henong's true biography, and he wrote beautifully.

And the action of writing the door and sticking the Spring Festival couplets is the most decent job of the old Zhang family every year, and the three generations of men in the whole family have to participate, and Zhang Tan is no exception.

In previous years, the grandfather was responsible for writing the couplets of the door, and the third uncle was responsible for writing the small door pairs in the back room. This year, the situation is different again, Zhang Henong decided to take a back seat and leave the responsibility to his children and grandchildren. The burden of writing the pair of the gate fell on the head of the third uncle, and the pair of the small door, Zhang Henong personally ordered Zhang Tan's general.

"The third child writes the gate, Yang Yang writes the small door, you guys do it."

Anwei's side is very family-oriented, the young and the young are orderly, and Zhang Henong, as the head of the family, is authoritative when he speaks.

And Zhang Henong's move is undoubtedly to confirm that Zhang Tan is the best candidate for the Zhongxing family among the three generations of the old Zhang family. From the current point of view, Zhang Tan does have unlimited potential, and he has the qualifications to fly out of the golden phoenix in the sparrow's nest.

In this way, the men of the old Zhang family took action.

Uncle flips through the "Spring Festival Couplets" to provide the content of the Spring Festival couplets, the eldest brother cuts paper, the second brother supports the paper, the third brother grinds, the fourth uncle sticks the door pair, Zhang Tan's father Zhang Quanshun mixes the paste, and the other juniors cannot be idle, responsible for transporting the door pair to each house.

The couplet at the door is related to the façade of the family, so the third uncle wrote very carefully, stroke by stroke, and wrote a stroke dipped in ink.

Zhang Tan is much more chic, and he keeps sprinkling the pen.

"Although there is no mountain and sea flavor, there is often a smell of chicken and fish."

"Smooth sailing, auspicious stars arrive, all the best luck is coming."

"Hide in the shape of an auspicious snow snake, and take the blessing of the New Year."

"Yangyang's brush words are becoming more and more sharp." The eldest brother was cutting paper, while sticking out his head to watch Zhang Tan write, and then commented.

"The pen walks the dragon and snake, half a line and half a block, fat and thin, connected into a piece. It's a good word. Uncle followed the comment.

Zhang Quanshun also changed his good temper in the past, and his tone was proud: "As far as I think, the word Yangyang is more flavorful than the third child's writing." ”

Hearing this, the third uncle raised his head unhappily: "Hey, second brother, speaking responsibly, there is still a distance to go from Yangyang's words to the level of my words." ”

As soon as the fourth uncle pasted a pair of doors, he heard the debate when he entered the door, and then came over, carefully compared the words of the third uncle and Zhang Tan, and said with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, Dad is also here, I will say it fairly." ”

"Then you can talk about it." The third uncle straightened his waist and waited for the following.

Zhang Tan modestly politely said: "My handwriting is still far behind." ”

The fourth uncle cleared his throat: "The third brother's words are profound, which is not comparable to Zhang Tan." But third brother, your handwriting is too rigid and inflexible, on the contrary, Zhang Tan's handwriting is more vivid and looks more comfortable. ”

"That's right." Uncle nodded.

Zhang Henong also subconsciously nodded.

The third uncle suddenly raised his voice: "Fourth, you're wrong, the writing environment is different, the style must be different." I'm writing about the door pair now, and I can't be a little frivolous, but I have to be solemn and solemn, so as to conform to our family style. ”

The eldest brother laughed: "Third uncle, what is the family style of our family?" ”

The eldest brother's question got bursts of laughter in the room, and the old Zhang family never seemed to have the word "family style". It is not a scholarly family, naturally there is no family style, and in the past few years, the countryside was so poor that it was tinkling, digging dung, feeding pigs, digging wild vegetables, going up river embankments, and building dams, all of which were large collective production, and there was really no family style.

"Well, don't laugh." Zhang Henong scolded the laughter, pointed to the third uncle and Zhang Tan, and said, "The third child's character is this style, calm, I hope you can be as calm as the word." As for Yang Yang, you still have to practice, when the words are no longer sharp, you will be out of the school. ”

After that, he added: "From now on, our family's family style is reading!" A few of you who are studying, all study hard, and expect you to be empty in the university entrance examination, but at least you must read and reason, and put culture in your stomach. ”

Zhang Henong set the family style of the old Zhang family in one word - reading.

The house was bustling again.

The men put on the door pairs, hung up the five blessings, and then glued the door gods, then prepared fireworks, and then waited for the meal to begin. The women gathered in the kitchen of the uncle's house, busy arranging the whole table of meals, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family ate together.

At seven o'clock, fireworks were lit, and the sound of explosions was sounded, and the door was closed for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

There are so many meals that I can't fit on the table.

And the liquor on the table this year is no longer the low-grade liquor of previous years, but the Moutai that Zhang Tan specially bought.

"Obediently, this Moutai is more enjoyable than ordinary wine." The eldest brother praised while drinking.

In fact, the drink is not the taste of wine, but the grade and atmosphere.

The sound of fireworks outside has not stopped for a moment.

In this time of family fun.

In 2001, it turned over vigorously.

In a blink of an eye, the warm and rich winter vacation passed unconsciously.

……

During this winter vacation, the changes that have taken place in the family because of Zhang Tan have been turned upside down. The quality of the festival has been directly raised to the advanced level of Gangji Town, and the parents are in a happy mood and often have a smile on their faces. Everything is developing in a good direction, and the e-era Internet café at home is even better.

During the entire winter vacation, there was hardly a single computer idle in the Internet café.

In a month, after removing water and electricity, rent, and taxes, the net profit was more than 80,000 yuan. This makes Tan Mingxia no longer talk about "my family still owes a butt account" when chatting with others.

Now when I talk to others, I am "ready to go to the bank for a loan and open an Internet café".

In this year, with the facilitation of Zhang Tan, the family decided to withdraw from the e-era Internet café and go to Dayang Town to open a new Internet café, and the Internet café certificate has been handled through the relationship. Dayang Town is located in the north of Gangji Town, which belongs to the central urban area of Hexi, although it is still a township unit, but it is a city after all.

Before 2002, Heqi City had three counties and one suburb, Changfeng County, Xixi County, Xiangdong County, suburbs, and Dong. Downtown, Middle. Downtown, West. Downtown three urban areas.

However, in a few days, Heqi City will re-plan its administrative districts.

The State Council has approved the new territorial plan of Heqi City, and the three counties are still three counties, and the three urban areas have been renamed respectively. The urban area was changed to Lu. Yang District, East. The urban area was changed to Yao. Sea area, west. The urban area was changed to Shu. mountainous area, and slightly adjusted the administrative division.

The suburbs, which originally had a history of 70 years, were officially upgraded to one of the urban areas of Heqi City. River District.

The three counties and one suburb in the history of Heqi have officially become a thing of the past, and now we want to talk about three counties and four districts.

The improvement of the district and county system means that Heqi City will usher in a period of rapid development. Dayang Town in Yang District will also develop rapidly, and a large number of migrant workers will pour in, and it will definitely be profitable to open an Internet café in Dayang Town.

And it's close to the city, so it's easy to get to and from the city.

In the future, Zhang Tan will definitely buy a house for his family in the urban area. It is an irreversible trend for rural people to live in the cities, and the living environment in the cities is indeed more convenient and comfortable than in the rural areas. Moreover, the price of housing did not stop rising until he was reborn, and the money used to buy a house depreciated relative to the deposit bank, at least it could maintain its value.

……

After the lazy winter vacation, the deserted school became crowded again.

The students packed up their unfinished mood and prepared to start struggling, and Zhang Tan followed suit. He found that during the winter vacation, he was busy being dragged by his mother to visit relatives and friends, showing off like a baby. Then I was usually busy eating, drinking, and sleeping, and I didn't write many words in the novel.

"The Four Famous Hunters of Jingshi" only wrote the first 60,000-word "Murderer", and the second 70,000-word "Bloody Hand", which was published in the March issue of "Ancient Legends and Martial Arts Edition", the fifth issue in total. Both of these were written before the winter vacation, and now March is approaching, and the manuscript fees have been sent.

and the third "Poisonous Hand" written during the winter vacation, I wrote more than 20,000 words slowly.

"Poisonous Hand" is a climax of the "Huijing Division" series, and it is planned to write more than 100,000 words, and Zhang Tan is going to split it into two issues, one of which is 60,000 or 70,000 words, and send it to the magazine. As a result, the winter vacation was too cool, and now I can only work harder and strive to get the manuscript out as soon as possible, so as not to be urged.

Zhang Tan is not that kind of workaholic, in fact, he is a little lazy, but he always has to change some bad habits when he lives again. At least plan to do something, and you can't habitually procrastinate, otherwise the whole person will become more and more lazy, and in the end, maybe it will return to the hanging silk appearance of the previous life.

Just when he was working hard, Wang Conglun called, bringing a major piece of good news.

"Zhang Tan, after several contacts with our magazine, Wu Khan University Press is interested in your "Four Famous Capture Masters of Beijing", and I hope to talk to you about publishing matters."
