Zhang Guoqing took his mother to Zhang Meimei's house and walked slowly. From time to time, she was reminded of how to memorize the road signs. The two of them walked on the road, and Zhang's mother slowly wandered.

After a while, she couldn't help but ask him, "Xiao Wu, how much did your father-in-law spend on the yard?" I think it's so well cleaned up. Your father-in-law is really willing. ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled when he heard this, "Mother, why can't he be reluctant to be a girl?" When he heard that Jiaojiao had just been born, he was very happy. I haven't seen the child for so many years, and now I see that she has been wronged for so many years, it will be distressing. Naturally, he wanted the best for her. He spent eight hundred dollars on this yard. But I did the math, and it was estimated that the contents would cost so much money. Except for the furniture, he replaced it all with new ones. ”

"The old Zhou family estimates that their intestines are repentant. At the beginning, my mother never imagined that marrying Jiaojiao would be so good. At that time, I took a fancy to her character, and I grew up with you. Now it seems that it is really a golden doll, more valuable than a golden doll. The mother was a little uneasy in her heart, afraid that the woman was too strong, and you would be wronged in the future. ”

Zhang Guoqing hugged her when he heard this, and walked forward slowly, "Mother, you should believe in Jiaojiao's character, and you should also believe in my vision." What do you think of my father-in-law and mother-in-law to me?

My father-in-law treats me as a son, and he has secretly begun to tell me who is reliable and who is how? Leave all your connections to me. He also told the other party to take good care of the three of us. So rest assured, they're not that kind of person. Jiaojiao's temperament follows her father, you can know Jiaojiao when you look at Jiaojiao. ”

Mother Zhang smiled slowly, "Xiao Wu, do you have a cheaper house in the yard over there?" I see that your eldest sister and second sister's house are not far from you, so let your second brother buy this piece in the future. ”

"Well, I think so too, this house is rarely sold. You ask the eldest sister about this, she should have a lot of people who are well-informed. ”

The mother and son stood in front of the door of Zhang Meimei's room, knocked on the door, and a child ran out of it, and when they saw them, they shouted happily, "Mom, grandma and uncle are here." ”

Zhang Guoqing stepped forward to pick him up, "Ziwen, why haven't you brothers returned to the village to find your little uncle?" ”

Zhang Ziwen put his arms around his neck, "I have to go to school." Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you. My mom said she wouldn't come to our house until you were busy. ”

"Uncle I'm almost busy. When you have a holiday, you will go to your uncle's house to play. Did your mom buy you snacks to eat? What do you eat at home? ”

"There are no snacks, and my mom said that if you buy a house, you have to save money. The family hasn't bought fritters and buns for a long time in the morning. Yesterday I ate all the seafood you sent. My dad gave some to my grandfather, and there are many more at home. Uncle, I'm older, I'll come down. After saying that, he slid the ground.

Zhang Guoqing saw that his mother had gone to the kitchen to find his sister. He went straight into the house with his eldest nephew, and when he saw the three brothers doing their homework, they all gathered around him and shouted.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly motioned for them to be quiet. He stepped forward and touched the mattress on the kang, touched the quilt again, and frowned slightly. After turning around, he relaxed his face and said with a smile: "You three brothers all slept by yourself?" Is it cold at night? ”

The third Zhang Zicong hurriedly answered, "Little uncle, it's hot down and cold above." My second brother always snatched my quilt. ”

Zhang Ziwen glared at him, "Little uncle, it won't be cold." The three of us brothers hugged and slept warmly. Sit down and rest. ”

Zhang Guoqing looked at him funny, "How did you do in this exam?" There are rewards for doing well in the exam. Express it to my uncle. ”

"I'm all one hundred this time, and my second brother only has one hundred. My eldest brother hasn't had a hundred for a long time, and they are all over ninety. My dad said that the eldest brother had learned deeply, and he had to work hard. ”

Zhang Guoqing took out a stack of money from his pocket and boasted: "Ouch, yes, my nephews are really competitive." Uncle rewarded you, you keep the flowers for yourselves. If you still get good grades this semester, I'll reward you. It's not just you, even Xizi and they are the same, so Ziwen don't push your brother. ”

After saying that, two dollars per person were stuffed in their pockets. took another pound of sugar stamps, and handed three food stamps with a face value of one pound to Zhang Ziwen. Seeing him excuse himself, he said, "You are the boss, and this bill is for you to keep." Remember to use it, it will be invalid when it expires. I bought the candy and put it at home, and I ate it whenever I wanted. These food stamps can be used to buy steamed buns at the restaurant on the other side of the road. If people ask you where you came from, you will say that your uncle is Zhang Guoqing, and they will not embarrass you. Got it? ”

Zhang Ziwen touched the bill, looked at the two younger brothers looking at him expectantly, thought for a while and said, "We have to talk to my mother before we can use it." When my mother agrees, I'll take you to eat steamed buns tomorrow morning. ”

Zhang Guoqing watched them cheer and dance. I walked out of the room and came to the kitchen slowly, and sighed when I saw the tortillas prepared by his sister at a glance.

When Zhang Meili saw her younger brother, she happily stepped forward and pulled him, "You sit down, my mother said that Uncle Zhou and they are all gone tomorrow, and you can go back to see if he has anything to help with after you sit down." My mother stayed here to accompany me first, and we talked to each other. ”

Zhang Guoqing swallowed back when his words came to his mouth, and this time he finally remembered the warm house, "Sister, how are you preparing for the warm house?" ”

"There's nothing to prepare, I'll talk about it next week."

Zhang Guoqing looked around and asked her suspiciously, "Where is your briquette stove?" ”

Zhang Meili glared at him, "There is firewood to burn, why do you buy briquettes?" I'll take it to the new yard warehouse. In the past, there was no way to burn in the corridor, and there was no place to put firewood. Now you can burn it on the first floor, and I still buy briquettes. ”

"What about your supply ticket for the second half of the year? How much was divided? Zhang Guoqing asked with a frown.

Zhang Meili shook her head and said, "I've given it all good, not much." That's not enough. It's better to use firewood without money. Do you want a ticket, I'll ask who has it later, and I'll use it first. ”

Suddenly, Zhang Meimei's eyes widened and she shouted, "No, I just saw that you have a lot of briquettes piled up in your house." What do you want? ”

Zhang Guoqing looked at his mother and laughed, "Mother, look at the eldest sister like that." Don't worry, if you don't do anything, just ask. ”

"Don't try to make up for me. The eldest sister has money, but she is afraid of waste. Zhang Meili looked at him with a suspicious expression.

Zhang Guoqing was defeated by her, "Okay... I know, you have money. What can't we say about our brothers and sisters? Don't be nervous. Sister, if you buy the dishes for the banquet later, I'll prepare a few dishes for you. Oh, don't get angry, I'll go up the hill and catch pheasants and hares. ”

Zhang Guoqing secretly thought to himself how many plates he could prepare, thinking that it was estimated to be almost enough, and hurriedly said, "You have to prepare the vegetables yourself." I'll come with meat and fish, don't fight with me. I went up the mountain and caught it myself, and it didn't cost me. Really, you ask your mother, Daqingshan is our backyard. ”

Zhang's mother and daughter laughed when they heard this, "Stinky little five, you can brag as much as you want." Okay, you don't have to worry about it, the eldest sister has arranged it. Just come to your door that day. ”

Zhang Ziwen took his younger brothers and hid outside to watch the movement.

As soon as he heard his mother's laughter, he brought them in, and each of them came to her with money in his hand, "Mom, my little uncle rewarded us and praised me for studying well." ”

Before Zhang Guoqing could reach out, he hurriedly grabbed her, "Sister, don't discourage the enthusiasm of the children." This is my business with my nephews. Not only them, but even Xizi also did well in the exam, and they all had rewards. This is reserved for the kids to buy snacks to eat. When the holiday is over, if the little uncle sees that you still maintain good grades, he will reward you to go to the provincial capital to play. ”

Zhang Meili watched the children jump up happily, thinking about it or forgetting it, "Then have you thanked your uncle?" It's all gone, but don't throw it away. ”

Zhang Guoqing listened to them thank them with a smile, and asked them to go out quickly, don't wait for her sister to come down again.

Mother Zhang watched the children go out and comforted her, "Don't worry about it." You don't know Xiao Wuzi, didn't he often deliver meat to the door before, and he knew everything in his heart. My mother came here this time to let you go to his house often to see if there is anything you can help. ”

"Then you still need to come to the door? My brother doesn't help and still stands by? Mother, has the yard at home been covered? It's okay at home, and you can go to the county seat to stay for a few days. When the in-laws left, the house became looser. And does the second child go back to the village every day when he goes to work or what? Is he all ready? ”

Zhang's mother pointed at Zhang Guoqing, "Xiao Wu has been arranged." There is a room reserved for him in the unit, and he usually goes back to the village. Don't make a show of it now, and wait for three months to become a positive person. ”

Mother Zhang thought for a while and then said, "Xiao Wu has always remembered your warm house. If he really prepares something, you take it. Our family is having a better time now, don't secretly stuff money to your mother in the future.

Your mother's five children are the most disadvantaged by you, you have nothing to marry, and you have been subsidizing your mother's family when you get married. Now that your brother has the heart to help you, you will accept it, he wants to support you. Jiaojiao, you can rest assured, the things in her house are only used by her mother at will, and there are good things that are forced to be used by her father. Even where the secret grid is, she told her mother, let her mother take it herself if she is short of money and tickets. In the past, those mothers-in-law in the village always said that their mothers were eccentric and looked at Xiao Wu, but now they are not the most intimate of Xiao Wu. ”

When Zhang Meili heard this, she nodded with a smile, "Mother is blessed." The beautiful in-laws just said yesterday that the older my father and mother are, the more tasteful they are. I think that our old Zhang family is up, but it's not your time to enjoy it. ”

Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch, it was not early, "Mother, let's go back first, it is estimated that they will wait for us to go out for dinner together." Sister, don't prepare, let's go back first. ”

After speaking, Zhang Guoqing pulled Zhang's mother out.

Zhang's mother turned her head and shouted at Zhang Meimei, "My mother will look for you again in a few days, you should think about what you still lack." I'll ask your dad to bring it to you. Don't give it away, prepare dinner early for the children. ”

Saying goodbye to Zhang Meimei, Zhang's mother pulled him to hurry home.

Zhang Guoqing helped her and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry, it's close." Eldest sister, you tell her in private, I am really not in a hurry to use the hundreds of yuan, and I will not make a little money if I put it at home. I saw that Ziwen's quilt was thin and narrow, the clothes they wore were thin, and they bought a house, and they didn't even eat buns. You let her hold on to the children first, and don't lose them. ”

Mother Zhang was sullen when she heard this, and looked at the passers-by, all of whom were wearing patched clothes, and their faces were not much better before she breathed a sigh of relief. Then I saw that my son was wearing brand new clothes and pants, and I saw that his face was ruddy, and he really looked more like a city man than a city person. I suddenly understood that this kid was comparing himself to his own family.

"Okay, my mother knows it. Your eldest sister has a good life, she is buying a house to pay off the debt, and it is not that she can't open the pot. You can take it easy, don't try to give money. In addition to human affection, don't think about your eldest sister if she doesn't open her mouth. Let's save the emergency and not the poor, the four brothers and sisters above you really want to be subsidized, they are all bottomless. I see that you gave a handful of money today, and how much will it be when you go to work for a month? You still have to keep us safe. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded, he understood what she meant.
