Chapter 456: Not as Good as a Pig
After three days in a hurry, after dealing with miscellaneous matters, Zhou Jiao saw that even the affairs of the old patriarch's grandson had been arranged, so she proposed to return to Beijing. The New Year is approaching, and the parents at home are busier, but her son is still worried at home.
Zhang Guoqing, who couldn't think about it, heard the word son, and finally endured his sadness and parted with his parents. Even if Zhang's father and mother were unwilling to leave their homeland, he still couldn't help but persuade him again and again.
With a disappointed feeling, he once again stood in front of the gate to prevent his parents from sending him off, and once again asked his relatives and friends to take more care of his parents.
As the back of the young couple leaving disappeared, this time Zhang's mother touched a handful of food stamps and money in her pocket, she tried to hold back her tears and looked at the intersection with a smile.
She secretly told herself, don't be sad, her old son is not going and not coming back. When the second family gives birth to her, she will leave, just as her own Jiaojiao said that the spring will bloom, and it is a pity not to go to the capital.
Dad Zhang saw that his wife was always smiling and very curious. After chatting with everyone, as everyone dispersed to work, he followed his wife into the bedroom.
"Child, do you want to open this time? That's how it should be! When the weather is warm, I will definitely take you to the capital. ”
Mother Zhang nodded with a smile, hid the money in her pocket in the corner, and whispered: "Jiaojiao stuffed money again this time." Let's save it for them first. ”
She didn't say that this was her daughter-in-law privately subsidizing her mother's private money. How do the families of the two children know how hard it is to make money, let alone food stamps. No matter how much her mother's family subsidizes, she can't lose her old son. In the future, the old son will have to give birth to children and raise children, and she doesn't know how much it will cost, so she has to save for the children just in case.
"Well, save them all and give them back to him in the future. What kind of money can we use at home, every time this child tosses, it is either fine grain or meat, and I am tired and panicked. ”
Mother Zhang laughed when she heard this. Who has her to have a son? Of course, there is also the credit of her father-in-law. It's not that she likes to boast about herself, but the sons she gave birth to are more powerful than the other. Her little five, it's not her blowing, making money is like playing, there is nothing that children can't do. The fine grain game that others can't ask for, her old son has it in a circle.
Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao were in the car to the provincial capital at the moment, he didn't know that his mother had mythical him. Looking out the window, thinking about his plans for the future, his heart was full of melancholy - in the next few years, he really didn't have time to go back to his hometown.
When he arrived in the provincial capital, he didn't care about his sorrow and sentimentality, he threw himself into the world again, went to the North Railway Station, and visited Stationmaster Zhang. In addition to visiting each other before leaving to increase their relationship, he also plans to arrange work for his uncle's two cousins.
Relying on one's own relief is not a long-term solution, only two honest little cousins go to the railway, go to the factory, have a job and find a good family, then his mother's burden will be much lighter.
Zhang Guoqing absolutely did not admit that he did not dare to arrange them in the county seat, and he had to be in the provincial capital. Just to avoid the cousins at home.
It's that people can be selfish, and this time to arrange work, except for Zhou Jiao, he didn't even dare to say anything about his father. A Huang Cuilan has already made him see the ugliness of human nature, and he no longer wants to see the old Zhang family destroy the city wall.
Zhou Jiao agreed with his idea, of course, the most important thing was that the thick calluses on the hands of the two girls moved her. She likes those two girls, she can go to school while working, and she won't complain when she drops out of school and comes home, and she won't try to get close to herself to find benefits.
Such a person makes her comfortable. As for whether they will change their temperament in the future, she doesn't care. There is no reason to help be a matchmaker, and you have to promise that you will definitely have a son.
The efficient and fast couple followed Zhao Chuanguang and his wife to visit relatives and friends around the provincial capital, and they did not forget to do things secretly.
When Zhou Jiao accompanied her godmother Huang Huimin to get together and talk, Zhang Guoqing had already done a good job and sent his two uncles to report to work with his cousin.
During this period, something happened that made Zhou Jiao cry and laugh. The two cousins actually knelt down and kowtowed to her, so frightened that she fled behind Zhang Guoqing. She really didn't want them to be grateful, she did what she wanted, and the future creation depended on them.
However, the two uncles didn't think so. They know too well the thoughts of a girl who has been studying for many years. If they didn't fail to get into high school, they would have to provide for their only beautiful girl to go to college even if they smashed the pot and sold iron. And going to university is nothing more than wanting to have a good job.
In the past, watching the three nephews go to work one after another, they also thought about asking their eldest sister to help, but in the end they still couldn't speak. The brother-in-law's family wants to carry their own nephew first, and they said that it will make it difficult for the eldest sister to be a person.
Now the two girls have left the farmhouse and rely on their nieces and daughters-in-law. Don't talk about kowtowing, even if you sell your life. That's a train conductor who eats public food, gets a salary, and issues uniforms all year round. Who can arrange two at once, it can be seen that the nephew is desperate.
Compared with the surprise of the two uncles, Zhang Guoqing was much calmer.
He saw that the train on the northern line was in urgent need of staff, so he stepped forward. This is also an opportunity for the two cousins, and it is impossible to have such a good thing in normal times.
After telling them to turn over the words, the couple bought two tickets to send the two uncles away, and they didn't take it to heart. However, after the good times in the next few years, their family often received foreign packages.
said goodbye to Zhao Chuanguang's family who saw them off. On the way home, this time the two of them were in a completely different mood from the worries they had when they came, and they also had the leisure to play chess and talk about jokes.
Compared to going north, there are a lot fewer passengers going south. Now that I can stay at home, no one wants to spend money to leave. There are six bunk beds and only the husband and wife. After passing a few small stops along the way, they were not interested in getting off the train again to buy dry food. First, there is really no need to grab food with others, and second, queuing up to buy is hard work.
Zhou Jiao was tired and collapsed on the cot to close her eyes and recuperate, secretly poking and rearranging the materials in the space, aiming at several sacks of rice bran, she piled briquettes on top of them in disgust - it took up too much space for her.
She doesn't need to waste her brain to know that this time Zhang Guoqing is worried that the coarse grains in the Taoist temple will deteriorate and all the space will be received, and he will definitely become a frequent visitor and will not leave.
At first, she didn't feel the need to leave any rice bran. Look, it was miscalculated. If you listen to yourself, the pigs will be raised several times.
To be honest, even she envies the pigs. Pigs are raised and stabbed, but people also die, but the length of time they have survived. Zhou Jiao absolutely believes that many people in the village have such thoughts.
After drinking muddy porridge once in the village, she was beaten to death and stopped drinking. A bowl contains either corn or cornmeal, chopped cabbage or rain-soaked radish seedlings.
And in order to keep the pig from losing fat, what does the pig eat? The pig food is full of fine rice bran and tender sweet potato seedlings. How good is the life of a pig, you don't have to work in the field, and you don't have to worry about your family starving.
People are not as good as pigs, and they are drunk when they think about it. It's no wonder that the children's eyes are complicated every time they look at the pig, wishing that the pig would be reincarnated early.
Zhou Jiao understands the children's minds very well. It is indeed good to be reincarnated early, and a pig is enough to chew a few mouthfuls for a day.
