Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Troubles of the Zhang Family

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but Zhang Wenfang is very depressed, since she came back from Zhaojiatun that day, the family has always complained that she was unable to go to Zhao Shengcai's house to meet Zhao Yulong.

"You girl is really good, I specially asked you to go over, meet each other, and get to know Zhao Yulong, but I didn't expect you to go for a few days, and you didn't even see Zhao Yulong." Zhang Wenfang's mother, Du Dongmei, squeezed the white tofu cubes vigorously while looking up at a beautiful building not far away.

The building is Zhangjiashan's nouveau riche Zhang Lao Wu's family, Zhang Lao Wu raised a good daughter Zhang Meilian, when she didn't go out of Zhangjiashan, it was nothing, but since she went out to work, she learned to dress up a little bit from a woman in the city, and immediately showed that she was extraordinary. was favored by a big boss, and suddenly the pheasant turned into a golden phoenix. The big boss has money, and with a wave of his hand, he gave a large sum of money to the old man's family, and Zhang Lao Wu used this money to build the most eye-catching building in Zhangjiashan. Zhang Lao Wu's two sons are one, the eldest is almost thirty years old and has not yet met a partner, and the twenty-seven or eight are also singles. Originally, no one was willing to give their daughter to these two brothers, but after the building was repaired, the situation was immediately different.

Du Dongmei once thought to herself, her daughter is even more pretty than Zhang Meilian, why is there no big boss outside? Even if she doesn't have the blessing of Zhang Meilian, looking for an ordinary family, Du Dongmei is very happy. Nowadays, there is a market for marrying a daughter, and in the vicinity of Huangshi Town, marrying a daughter is a gift of 50,000 yuan.

Du Dongmei doesn't expect her daughter to be able to build a beautiful building like Zhang's fifth family, but at least she can save enough gift money for her son. Du Dongmei's family has no shortage of buildings, and the money earned by her son Zhang Dajiang and daughter Zhang Wenfang from working outside these years has already built a house that is still eye-catching in Zhangjiashan. Zhang Dajiang has already fallen in love with the object, and originally planned to pass the door during the Chinese New Year today, but he didn't expect to be stuck in tens of thousands of yuan in gift money. When Zhang Wenfang's family was repairing the building, there was still some money that had not been paid off, and it was impossible to ask for tens of thousands of yuan in gift money at this time.

The Zhang family originally hoped that if Zhang Wenfang could establish a relationship with Zhao Yulong, he would be able to get a gift from their family that was enough to solve their son's problem. But what I didn't expect was that my daughter didn't seem to have the slightest interest in Zhao Yulong. What made her a little uneasy the most was that if Zhang Kaiquan brought it over, Zhang Wenfang might have taken a fancy to the most muddy young man in Zhaojiatun.

"Mom, don't worry about my business. My brother and sister-in-law are not very old, and it will be nothing to wait another year. You don't look at what kind of virtuous person Zhao Yulong is, are you pushing me into the fire pit for tens of thousands of yuan? Zhang Wenfang has been in trouble with her family for the past two days, so her tone is not very good.

"Look what tone you have! Your daughter is raised for nothing. You said that Zhao Yulong's house is a fire pit, so what is the orphan who has no father and no mother and no place to stay? Du Dongmei said.

"Didn't I tell you? I have nothing to do with Laiwang. We haven't seen each other in years. This time, I didn't see that his family had suffered a disaster, so I went over to take a look. And then gave him a little idea. I didn't expect him to be quite determined. Mom, don't say it. If this Laiwang really made up his mind, he would be much better than Zhao Yulong. Zhang Wenfang said.

"You still say that you have nothing to do with Zhao Laiwang?" Du Dongmei angrily threw the tofu in her hand into the basin.

"You keep making trouble all day long, are you annoyed?" Zhang Wenfang's father, Zhang Taigen, didn't know where to get out, and frowned when he heard his mother-in-law's voice.

"You're a dead old ghost, you don't have anything to do all day long, and you know how to stay at the table.

"I can't play all year round, and if people don't play there like me, I won't see other people's mothers-in-law humming half a sentence. It's hard to get to you. Zhang Taigen winked at his daughter, it seems that he deliberately helped his daughter attract firepower.

Zhang Wenfang smiled slightly, turned around and ran outside.

"Wen Fang? Hey, where's this girl? When Du Dongmei came back to her senses and came to Zhang Wenfang, she had long since disappeared from Zhang Wenfang.

Zhang Wenfang's brother was reading a novel at home, and when he saw Zhang Wenfang walking in, he smiled and said, "Mom has counted you, right?" Ignore her. I know very well what Zhao Yulong is. I don't need to be in a hurry, if their Li family provokes me, just blow it up, anyway, it's not me who suffers, but the daughter of their old Li family. ”

"Brother, it's not right for you to say that! Sister-in-law is not bad for you. But in this township, there is nothing my sister-in-law can do? If you dare to let down your sister-in-law, I won't spare you. Zhang Wenfang immediately made her position clear.

"Xiaoli has nothing to say to me. I don't want to let her down either. But their Li family is too much of a thing, they ask for money behind their mouths, and they won't let them go through the door if they don't have money. Do you think they are marrying their daughters or selling their daughters? Zhang Dajiang threw the book in his hand on the bed, very helpless.

"Brother, don't talk about people like that. Is it so easy for someone to raise a daughter? I was abducted by you all of a sudden, and I didn't let you have some blood, would you cherish it? If they don't want anything, will people still say that their daughter is not valued? Zhang Wenfang said.

"Well, that's right. Tens of thousands of dollars were paid and someone came back, and we still earned it. Xiaoli has tens of thousands of dollars a year working outside. Zhang Dajiang thought about it and felt a lot better.

"So, don't get cheap and sell well. Listen to your parents, go to your sister-in-law's house tomorrow, and you will laugh with them if they say anything that they don't like. Tell them well, we can't take out so much gift money for the time being, and see if we can postpone the wedding a little. Zhang Wenfang said.

Zhang Dajiang's expression was a little embarrassed, thinking that he had been counted out in his father-in-law's house, "I'm afraid I won't be able to convince them." Last time they gave an ultimatum. Don't talk about it. Little sister, you are not a small boss, don't you fancy one and a half? Didn't you really take a fancy to Zhao Laiwang? That Zhao Laiwang's situation is really difficult, if you really look for him, you must jump into the fire pit. ”

"Nope. I really don't have anything to do with Laiwang. It's just an ordinary classmate relationship. But this time I gave him an idea, and I promised to help him check the information. When the time comes, my mother will definitely not let me go. I'm afraid Laiwang is still waiting for my news. Zhang Wenfang said.

"So? I think you should not contact him, otherwise, it will be a rumor, and it will not be good for you to be a girl. I'll go talk to him when I have a chance. Zhang Dajiang said.

"That's not going to work. I, Zhang Wenfang, am not such a person. I came up with the idea, and now people have listened to our idea and replaced the fertile land with a barren mountain, if I leave it alone, won't it be a pit for others? Zhang Wenfang said.

"What can you do?" Zhang Dajiang was about to continue, when he saw Du Dongmei walking in, he hurriedly stopped talking, took the novel again, and continued to read it.

"Dae, you're unproductive. Just know to look at the mess. Xiaoli hasn't been in touch for a few days, and you're not in a hurry, aren't you afraid that Lao Li's family will really ask Xiaoli to find someone else? Du Dongmei said.

"If Xiaoli is such a person, I have nothing to regret if she finds someone else." Zhang Dajiang said.

"Then you don't know how to call Xiaoli? Wait a while to go to the town to do some things, and send them to Xiaoli's house tomorrow. Apologize to your father-in-law. Let's see if we can bring Xiaoli to our house for the New Year. Du Dongmei said.

"Hey, I see." Zhang Dajiang said.

It's almost the New Year, and the sound of firecrackers rings in Zhaojiatun from time to time. Although the mountain temple is far away, it can still be faintly heard.

The Chinese New Year and the Ping Dynasty are not much different from Laiwang. There is a pair of pairs pasted at the door of the mountain temple, and the bright red color adds a festive joy to the mountain temple. This pair is leftover from Zhao Shuliang's family, and Zhao Jingui took it and sent it over. This kid has eaten a lot of yellow legs here in Laiwang these days, and he has a hot fight with Laiwang.

"Come to Uncle Wang, come to Uncle Wang." Jin Gui jumped up the hill again. He was holding a red plastic bag that seemed to contain something. It should be that Laiwang sent a leg of wild boar meat to Zhao Shuliang's family yesterday, and today he sent it to Laiwang to eat.

Laiwang was looking at the red charcoal in the stove in a daze, and when he heard Jin Gui's shout, he turned around and said with a smile, "Jin Gui, did you steal something from your grandfather again?" ”

"This time it's not stealing. I just made the glutinous rice dumplings, and my grandfather asked me to bring you some hot ones to try them, and then I will send them to you when the glutinous rice dumplings are dried. Jin Gui said.

"Then I'll have to try it." Laiwang took the plastic bag from Jin Gui's hand, and there was a ball of glutinous rice in it.

When the glutinous rice is just beaten and has not yet been kneaded into shape, the taste is much better than that of making glutinous rice cakes and then roasting them, and the villagers like to eat them very much.

"Just now, as I said, Uncle Wang also likes to eat. Then my grandfather asked me to send it. "Jin Gui invites merit.

"Well, we still remember Uncle Jingui. Uncle Hui will make food for Jin Gui later. Come, let's eat glutinous rice with my uncle first. Lai Wang said with a smile.

"Wangwang." Rifle came back and screamed in the yard.

"Rifle is back." Jin Gui pulled out his legs and ran outside.

Laiwang hurriedly hugged Jin Gui, but Laifu was followed by a few big green wolves.

"Uncle Laiwang, you let me down, I'm going to play with Laifu." Jin Gui kept struggling in Laiwang's hands.

"You don't have to go out, you'll come in by yourself later." Laiwang said.

As he spoke, Laiwang shouted outside, "Laifu, come here!" ”

After a while, Laifu jumped out from outside, and when he saw Jin Gui, Laifu was also very excited, and shouted at Jin Gui a few times. Jin Gui jumped down from Laiwang's hand and hugged Laiwang with both hands.

"Come, kiss one first."
