In the early morning, Zhangjia Village is white, and the snow on the roadside on the mountain is like a carpet. In the distance, smoke had risen from the village, and as I walked at the entrance of the village, there was still a layer of white snow on the ground.

The old captain's uncle now lives with his eldest son's family in the village, near the large courtyard of the Zhang family ancestral hall. There was a chopped firewood piled up at the door, and the old captain Uncle was chatting with his eldest son on the kang in the hall.

Seeing that the captain's uncle was about to go around the village again, the eldest grandson came in from outside and said happily: "Master, you go out later, I have something interesting to tell you." ”

When the captain heard this, he sat back and said with a smile: "Say, what can make you happy early in the morning?" ”

"Master, you don't know if you don't go out. Now Zhoujia Village is in a mess. I went out early this morning, and I heard that there was another accident in Zhoujia Village. Hehe, it turns out that Zhou Xiaozheng is not Old Man Zhou's own son, five cars came last night, and even the patriarch and captain of Zhoujia Village were dispatched. ”

The old captain frowned and sat upright, "Tell me about it, what's going on?" ”

The eldest grandson, Zhang Qingsong, restrained his smile and said mysteriously: "I didn't see it either, but Zhou Youcai's youngest son said that a bunch of soldiers came last night and brought the old general to the door to ask for guilt." said that the old man Zhou did not send the child back, and his aunt came to the door after decades of searching. Early this morning, Zhoujia Village will open an ancestral hall to refill the family tree, saying that Zhou Xiaozheng turned out to be the only bloodline in the main house in the capital. I don't understand the rest. ”

The eldest son slapped his palm on his son and blamed him, "What are you doing over there early in the morning?" Zhou Youcai's youngest son has nothing to do every day, and he will have less contact with him in the future. ”

After speaking, seeing that his father was silent, he asked him softly, "Dad, this matter does not matter to our Zhang family." But now the three villages are hunting, will the people in Zhoujia Village still go up the mountain? Do you want me to go to Zhoujia Village to inquire? ”

Uncle Captain shook his head, "It's estimated that it's enough to go up the mountain today, Zhoujia Village can't go over, plus your second brother Zhang's family is not free, and no one dares to go to the deep mountains, so wait and see." ”

Zhang Qingsong smiled and said to his father: "Dad, don't worry, it is estimated that Xiaowu will come to the door to talk about things later." Captain Zhou will also come to the door. I don't think it's a show today, a few of our brothers are waiting for Xiao Wu to take us to the mountains, you seniors don't think about the mountains even if you go to the mountains. ”

said Cao Cao Cao arrived, no, Zhang Guoqing shouted from outside the door, "Third grandfather, are you in the house?" I'm Xiao Wu, and I'm looking for you for something. ”

Zhang Qingsong hurriedly stepped on his shoes and ran out, shouting loudly, "Little Wu, go in quickly." ”

The captain's uncle saw his grandson go out, stretched his neck to look out, and when he saw Zhang Guoqing and Zhang Guoqiang coming in, he beckoned them to go to the kang.

Zhang Guoqing stepped forward quickly, sat in front of the kang, and said happily: "Third grandfather, I'm still afraid that you will go out, today our brothers came to you for help, by the way, I always talk to you, I can't go to the mountains today." ”

Uncle Captain looked at him suspiciously, "You can't go to the mountains today, I also know what's going on, it's your father-in-law who goes to the ancestral hall, right?" But what are you brothers looking for me? ”

Zhang Guoqing looked at his second brother, then looked at the side, and was hesitating.

Just when the captain's wife came in, she saw him and quipped: "Xiao Wu, you are a rare guest." Became a father, what's it like? Are you so happy that you can't find the north? Your mother said yesterday that your little man is also a father, and it seems that you can take care of the children. It's almost a full moon, right? ”

Zhang Guoqing laughed happily, listening to each of them joke, but did not answer.

Uncle Captain remembered that Zhang Guoqing specially greeted him a few days ago, and suddenly woke up and instructed them to leave.

When everyone left, Uncle Captain jokingly said, "But transfer the account? Is the second child also a transfer of accounts? ”

Zhang Guoqiang hurriedly got up, took out the list from his pocket, and handed it to him, "Uncle, you are really sharp-eyed." It's really a transfer of household registration, and it was proved yesterday, and I want you to stamp an official seal today. ”

Uncle Captain looked at him in surprise, then looked at Zhang Guoqing who was smiling next to him, and sighed: "It's really not Uncle Yanli, Uncle Gang is joking." Good boy, good boy, go into the city and work hard, and have the opportunity to take our Zhang family juniors to the city in the future. Have you told me where you go to work? ”

Zhang Guoqiang smiled and nodded, "Okay, this is thanks to my second sister and his father-in-law, I heard that the Public Security Bureau is recruiting people internally, and I thought of a way for me to try." No, I just did it yesterday, and I rushed to you early in the morning. ”

Uncle Captain happily opened the list and touched the handwriting on it with a smile, "Someone from our Zhang family finally went to the yamen on an errand." Okay, okay. Did you say what time you went to work? It is estimated that the three brothers of your family are all in the county, how is your eldest brother arranging the next step? ”

Zhang Guoqing knew that he couldn't hide the captain who was old and sophisticated, "My eldest brother hasn't decided yet, his brother-in-law and brother-in-law started looking for someone two years ago, and he has to wait for any news from there." It's estimated that it's also soon. I still have to worry about the third grandfather, you can help me and my second brother handle things first. My second brother will start work next Monday, and the formalities have been completed, just waiting for you to move your household registration with the official seal. ”

The captain also gave Zhang Guoqiang a list, "You take it, let's go to the team to stamp it." After saying that, he put on his old coat, put on his hat and greeted his family, and led them out.

When he arrived at the office of the production team, the captain took the strips from the two brothers, stamped them all with official seals, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's finally good." Don't make a noise about it, wait for the county registration to go up, and the second child will also go to work, and then tell everyone, so as to save outsiders from talking too much. You go back and tell your father, when the second child goes to work, let him prepare wine and good food and invite us old guys to join in the fun. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded hurriedly, "It should be, even if the third grandfather doesn't say it, let's also invite the big guy to be lively." It's a great event. If there is anything we juniors don't understand in the future, you will have to give us a reminder. ”

"Well, when you have a foothold in the future, let's see what factory is recruiting, and don't forget to promote our brothers from the old Zhang family. What about you, do a good job. Now that you are out of the farm, don't forget that this is your roots. ”

When Zhang Guoqing and his brothers heard this, they nodded hurriedly.

Zhang Guoqing saw that this matter had been done, and said apologetically: "Third grandfather, what should I do if I hunt today?" My family probably won't be able to go today, and last night my father-in-law's family came to my old relatives, so why should I entertain them. ”

"It's okay, you're down to business. This time it is estimated that it is enough, Zhoujiacun is so troublesome, and I don't have the heart to go up the mountain today. I'll see if there are any other people in the village next to me, everyone is waiting for you to take you up to the mountains, you can't leave, see what they say. ”

Uncle Captain also has no choice, except for the three brothers of the Zhang family, no one dares to go up to the deep mountains, if he knows that Zhang Guoqing is not going, the younger generation is even more impossible, no one takes the lead, just a few hairy children are reckless, he is not at ease. It seems that he will have to go to the nearby village to inquire.

Father Zhang took his eldest son to see the self-reserved land, and walked slowly to the house, and before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Zhang Guoqing and his brothers coming back with a smile.

"What's going on? It's done, right? ”

Zhang Guoqing took out the list and opened it to his father, "Even the second brother's is done, and I will be in the game again next Monday." The third grandfather is old and mature, and he can see that the next is the eldest brother, and I said that it will be fast for the eldest brother, the eldest brother-in-law, and the younger brother-in-law to be busy. ”

Father Zhang smiled and narrowed his eyes, and hurriedly asked the brothers to clean up, "Your third grandfather is shrewd." Your eldest brother is not in a hurry, take your time. We have to say hello to your uncle and uncle, so as not to go back and get the news that our family is hiding from them. ”

"Okay, Dad, you can do it. The third grandfather said that when the second brother went to work, he would invite them to drink with the older generation, and let you prepare first. You see when it's convenient, I'll prepare wine and food. ”

Father Zhang entered the courtyard and waved him directly to let him go about his business, "I'll talk about it later." You take Jiaojiao to Zhoujia Village first, don't let your father-in-law wait for the two of you. Remember to bring them back when you're done. ”

Zhang Guoqing watched them enter the hall and then entered his bedroom, and when he came in, he saw that his mother was already inside, and when he saw him come in, he complained: "Why have you two brothers been gone for so long?" Hurry up, don't keep the elders waiting. ”

Zhou Jiao was neatly dressed, and when she saw him come in, she pointed to the clothes on the kang, "Brother, you can change quickly." The child is handed over to the mother, let's hurry up. ”

Zhang Guoqing was busy changing clothes, and said a few words from time to time, "Mother, the child feeds once every three hours, and when you are busy, remember to let Xizi take care of the child, don't leave him alone in the house." When the children come into the house, you don't want to give them candy, there is malt milk in the cabinet, and you can soak it for them if they want to drink it. They love to play in it, don't stop them. ”

Mother Zhang gave him a blank look, "I know, I won't leave your house today." Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law prepare the food at home, and I won't drive away when the children come, okay? ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled at her flatteringly, "Mother, don't be angry." I'll take Jiaojiao over first, do you think there's anything else to explain? ”

Mother Zhang saw that they were dressed, nodded to the two of them with satisfaction, and pointed to a basket on the table in the outer living room, "Bring this basket over, I see that your father-in-law and they will definitely not be able to buy incense, candles, and paper money." I've got it all ready, you go over and don't talk too much, they will do whatever they ask you to do. ”

Zhang Guoqing stepped forward to pull open the cloth, looked at the basket full of incense, candles, paper money, and tribute, and nodded, "It's still a careful mother, we don't know these if you don't prepare." ”

Mother Zhang said with a smile: "Where do you little children know this. Go ahead, get over early. When you're done, remember to bring them to dinner. ”

Saying goodbye to Zhang's mother, the couple returned to the car, looked at the pile of things in the basket, and the two looked at each other and smiled, they really didn't know how to prepare these things.
