Chapter 38: Family Meeting (Part 1)
"Hurry up and call Tang Chendong, why don't you stay home for a day? Went to the county seat for the night at night? Tang Zhenguo, who returned home after helping to carry the coffin for burial at the filial piety family (the family that was doing the funeral - the name of the author's hometown), did not see his son, and he was a little angry.
He received some stimulation in the house of the filial family.
One of the grandsons of the deceased returned with his beautiful girlfriend to mourn. And the son of the deceased, Zhou Tianhua, the grandson's father, was even more proud and satisfied all the time.
The so-called which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, and the so-called no impermeable wall.
During the banquet, Zhou Tianhua's baby son Zhou Xinghao toasted Tang Zhenguo in front of many people and thanked him for his help in the past few days.
Tang Zhenguo didn't know that this kid actually talked to himself about Tang Chendong in a tone that was secretly sneering, "I heard that this kid Chendong came back to engage in planting?" I heard that you can make a lot of money by engaging in agriculture now! Haha, when the time comes, let him not forget my difficult brother! Oh, by the way, why didn't this kid Chendong come? β
"I don't know, it looks like I went to the city yesterday!" Tang Zhenguo didn't go home all night yesterday, he was here to help, and he rested here at night!
Seeing that Zhou Xinghao, this kid is in a suit and leather shoes, full of foreign energy, and his girlfriend is so smart and white, Tang Zhenguo feels that his kid is too uncompromising!
"If only that damn boy in our family had half the power of you! I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't make any money. I heard that Xinghao, your kid's salary is almost 300,000 a year? What a blessing you are! β
"Not so much, 200,000 is just in the early years, alas, the house is expensive now! My 200,000 yuan is only enough to buy 20 square meters, and I have to go without food or drink for several years to buy a house of 100 yuan! I want to go back to my hometown to start a house, and my annual salary is definitely enough to repair a small building of more than 200 square meters! β
"yes...... Hehe! Tang Zhenguo had to laugh with him!
He knew that Tang Chendong's monthly salary was only more than 3,000 when he worked in the provincial capital, and the year-end bonus was only 50,000 a year. Zhou Xinghao has been working for four or five years!
Eating breakfast depressed, Tang Zhenguo couldn't wait to go home and wanted to teach Tang Chendong a lesson, but when he got home, he didn't see anyone, and he went to work with nowhere to vent.
β¦β¦
Tang Chendong didn't know how he got home.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law, second sister! How did you guys get here? On the dirt road into the village, Tang Chendong saw several familiar figures and hurriedly stopped the motorcycle.
"I don't know, Dad, he called and said we had to come back! didn't say anything, we all hurried back, Xiaodong, what's going on? Aren't you working in the city, what? Looks like at home? What's going on at home? Tang Chendong's eldest sister Tang Yun was a little unclear.
Tang Chendong thought to himself that his father must have asked his sister and brother-in-law to come back to do his own ideological work!
I was able to graduate from college smoothly, the two sisters made a lot of sacrifices, the eldest sister only studied junior high school, and the second sister only studied high school. The three sisters in their family are not stupid people.
"Let's get home first! The road is slippery, I won't take you away! "It rained yesterday and the dirt road hasn't dried yet.
Tang Chendong drove the motorcycle home, and turned around to carry his little nephew Zhang Mingming.
Back at home, everyone was about to chat, when Tang Zhenguo's footsteps sounded in the courtyard.
Tang Zhenguo glanced at several daughters, sons-in-law, and sons, put down the hoe, and Tang Chendong hurriedly moved a stool to his father.
"Now that everyone is back, and there's still a little time before lunch, now this family meeting will start right away!"
"Xiaodong, I heard that you saved a little girl, and this little girl is still at home?" The eldest sister Tang Yun didn't see Leng Qian'er a while ago, but she only found out about it when she heard the second sister talk about it at home today.
Tang Chendong nodded, "She seems to be still sleeping in the upstairs room!" Or play with the computer! β
Tang Chendong saw that the whole family was there at this time, but Leng Qian'er was not there, so he concluded that she was still in her room.
Leng Qian'er was playing on the computer when she heard the sound of the motorcycle downstairs, knew that Tang Chendong was back, and just wanted to go downstairs, but saw him turn around and leave again, and came back after a while.
As soon as she walked to the staircase, she heard Chendong's brother's father say that he was going to have a meeting, she was well-behaved and sensible, knowing that this was a family meeting at Chendong's brother's house, and it was not appropriate for her to participate in it, so she had to continue to go back to the room to play on the computer.
"Zhang Feng can't come back, Ning'er, you represent your family! This time I called you back to target Tang Chendong, a kid who secretly came back by himself, and then said that he wanted to plant at home, let's talk about it, what do you think? "If you really want to break away from the father-son relationship, of course Tang Zhenguo won't, he saw that he couldn't make his son submit, so he thought of using the strength of the whole family to fight his son.
Tang Zhenguo's eldest son-in-law, that is, Tang Chendong's eldest brother-in-law Rongyuan, is 30 years old, working as a carpenter in the provincial capital, and this time he came back with his wife when he heard the call of his father-in-law!
"Xiaodong, do you want to go home and do planting?" When several people heard about it for the first time, they looked at Tang Chendong in surprise.
Tang Chendong nodded, "Yes!" I think there's a lot to be done in the countryside, so I want to come back and give it a try! β
Although several of them are children from the countryside, I still don't understand why Xiaodong suddenly came to such a show.
"Xiaodong, aren't you fooling around? You have to work well in the city, the working environment is good, and the salary will slowly rise, you have to stay in the countryside, and you can't even find a girlfriend! "Eldest sister Tang Yun was the first to stand up against it!
"Yes, Xiaodong, you have to think carefully about this before making a decision!" Second sister Tang Ning also said.
Tang Chendong saw that the lobbyist called back by his father was really competent, "Eldest sister, second sister, I have fully considered all kinds of possibilities!" No matter what happens in the future, I have the courage to bear any outcome! β
"Dad, I think this matter, Xiaodong should make his own decision, after all, this is related to his personal development and future, we need to put forward some references, but in the end the decision has to come by himself!" Rong Yuan understands very well that the old man must be a lobbyist when he calls him back, and when he sees that his wife seems to be opposed, he should stand on the side of the old man and his wife. But he is also a young man after all, and he did not say death.
To be honest, when he first heard it, he also felt that it seemed unreliable for Chendong to come back to engage in planting.
"Xiaodong, what the hell do you think?" After all, Rongyuan has been working outside for a long time, and he is younger than Tang Zhenguo, so Cheng DΓΉ, who accepts new things, will always be higher! As a man, he can't see it like a woman.
"Brother-in-law, I work in the city, and I am called and drunk by those people every day, and I have had enough, and I don't think it's a shame to go back to my hometown to start a business! Chairman Mao and his old people have said that there is a lot to be done in the countryside! Who went to the mountains and went to the countryside back then was not an intellectual youth! At that time, people in the city could respond to return to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor middle peasants, I was born in the countryside and grew up in the countryside, why can't I return to the countryside and build my hometown while creating wealth for myself! β
"Yo, your ambition is great!" Tang Zhenguo said disdainfully.
"Dad, our young people in the new century are not only a generation that talks about aspirations, we will all put these aspirations into practice! I will prove that the road I am taking will work, and it will be a good one! β
"What if you're going to hit your head and bleed? Do you think vegetables are so easy to grow? Do you know what people out there say? People who take hundreds of thousands of dollars a year say that they are in trouble, saying that you are a big boss. β
Tang Chendong listened to his father's tone and knew that his father must have been ridiculed.
