At four o'clock in the morning, Zhang's father got up. As usual, he went to the backyard to take a look. It snowed last night, and it was cold in the morning, so Dad Zhang picked up a shovel to clear the snow.

In the past, Zhang Guoqing got up early in the morning to clean up, and Zhang's father subconsciously looked to the side, and suddenly realized that his youngest son was not at home, and laughed dumbly. It seems that this kid is not at home, and he is really not used to it.

Standing in the front yard and looking at the east and west wings, there is no movement at all. He regretted that his old son was not at home, otherwise he would have gotten up to accompany him a long time ago, babbling and not letting him do it.

I suddenly remembered that in the winter for so many years, the old son not only got up in the early morning to clean up his yard, but also ran to the lonely old man in the village to help. Thinking like this, Dad Zhang sped up and planned to go to the village to have a look.

As the sky gradually became clearer, the two brothers Zhang Guofu got up and came out, and when they saw that the yard was clean, they suddenly thought of his father, patted their heads in annoyance, and invariably accelerated their washing, anxious to find their father.

Zhang's mother went out of the main room, and as soon as she arrived in the kitchen, she heard the muttering of her two sons and said with a smile: "It's okay, we are old and feel less." You still have to work in the yard today, and you can sleep as much as you can. ”

The second child, Zhang Guoqiang, saw that his sister-in-law came to the kitchen and was busy with breakfast with his mother. Thinking of his daughter-in-law who was still asleep, he calmly faced and walked to the house.

As soon as I pushed the door, I saw that Lin Juhua had already gotten up and dressed neatly, and when I saw him come in, she showed a bright smile, and her heart was finally relaxed.

"Daddy, I'll go to the backyard to cook pig food first. You call me for something. Don't get tired. After speaking, Lin Juhua hurriedly ran out.

The stone stretched out his little head and shouted in a childish voice, "Dad, I want to go to the county seat to find my uncle." The eldest brother said that we will secretly follow grandma over today. ”

Zhang Guoqiang was startled, and hurriedly coaxed, "Son, you listen to your father." When the guests are gone, my father will take you to the county seat. You can't sneak out, you can't find your father and mother if you are abducted and sold. ”

Xiao Shi opened his big eyes and looked at him hesitantly, "Really take us to find Uncle?" Adults love to deceive children. The eldest brother said that it was wrong to deceive people. ”

"Who in our family lied to you? When did Daddy lie to you? I'll take you there tomorrow. Zhang Guoqiang didn't feel at ease when he thought about it, so he still had to talk to Xizi. That little guy is very ghostly, and if he is not careful, he will really take his younger brothers to the county seat.

coaxed his son, but he couldn't care about the girl's yelling to follow, and hurriedly ran to find Xizi.

Pushing the door into his nephew's room, he saw that Xizi was already dressed and was helping Xiao Zuo and Xiao Xiao to put on sweaters, and when he saw him come in, he greeted him with a smile.

"Xizi, you listen to the second uncle, don't go to the county seat today, okay? You sneak your brothers out of the house, what if they run around and get lost? Listen to the second uncle, when the guests leave, the second uncle Ming'er will personally take you over. ”

As soon as Kiko heard this, she understood that Little Stone had leaked a secret, and smiled at him embarrassedly.

Zhang Guoqiang looked at his smirk like Xiao Wu, and he beat a drum in his heart. He thought about it for a while, and said helplessly: "Forget it, when your grandmother goes to the county seat this morning, you can follow." Remember to keep an eye on your younger brothers and don't mess around. Your uncle has a guest here, don't lose your courtesy. ”

Kiko quickly nodded in response, glaring at the two younger brothers who were screaming.

Zhang Guoqiang went out of the yard and was busy for a long time, and suddenly thought that Xizi was going to school today, why did he think of taking his younger brothers to the county seat, he shouldn't be fooled by the little ghost, right?

In the early morning, after Dad Zhang took a shovel to clean up Zhang Wuye's yard, he ran to two old people's yards. Think about them talking about our old son, humming the drama happily. Walking on the road, stop every now and then for a clean-up session.

When the villagers who got up early saw it, they would smile and say hello to him.

Uncle Zhang didn't sleep comfortably last night, so he got up early in the morning and planned to go to the team to have a look.

When I went out, I saw my second brother carrying a shovel on his back, humming a song, and laughing. Said angrily: "What's wrong? Picked up your old son's class? ”

Dad Zhang saw that he was dressed as an errand, looked at him curiously, and said, "Big brother, where are you going to go?" ”

Uncle Zhang gave him a blank look, "You forgot that today is the first big set, and Uncle Captain said yesterday to see what there is in the team to deal with." I'll have to go and see, it's not your life. ”

Father Zhang was not surprised, smiled and pulled him, and the two brothers muttered for a while, each doing their own thing.

Uncle Zhang walked slowly towards the village with his hands behind his back and met the captain's uncle. When the two of them arrived at the team, they saw the old accountant Zhang and a few people. The village cadres sat down together and began to talk about the things that should be sold in the team, as well as the distribution of rations and dividends at the end of the year.

Zhangjiacun handed over the public grain, and saw that the cat was winter. Uncle Captain is trying hard to give everyone more money for a good New Year, just waiting for this big market to open.

He would listen to their conversation, and even though he knew it, he would sit there silently to see if anything was missing.

After a while, everyone stopped looking at him. He finally decided, "I won't sell all the rations." The mountain goods harvested in the autumn in the team, as well as the ropes and straw sandals that they usually accumulated, were all sold.

This cat winter, next spring is not afraid of not having these. Let's first give out all the food rations that fill our stomachs. Several families in the village have borrowed grain, and they will not be able to survive next summer. ”

Uncle Zhang originally wanted to propose to let his younger brother, the second family, buy mountain goods, so as to save the back and forth. But after thinking about it, it will be forgotten. The goal is too big, he knows his second brother's temperament, and he likes to show up in secret, afraid of being conspicuous.

After the captain finished speaking, seeing that they had no objections, he continued: "I sold it for money today, and I will start slaughtering pigs tomorrow morning to distribute rations." It's still the same as before, the accountant first calculates the accounts, and the few of you then reconcile the accounts. You remember to deduct what the team will spend at the beginning of next year's spring, and give it all points. ”

Uncle Zhang then asked, "Third uncle, how do you arrange the hunt?" What did the other two villages say? Seeing that the New Year will not be long before the New Year, do you want to see if it is arranged early? ”

Uncle Captain thought in his heart that his village had to be a junior with a junior. It seems that it won't take two months to celebrate the New Year, but nothing can happen. Counting the bunch of guests in the Little Five Family, it is estimated that it will be about the same if he gives him three days to entertain guests.

"When is the fifth child of Zhang's second family free? His guests from the capital don't plan to stay for ten days and half a month, right? I'm going to let Xiao Wu take the juniors to practice their hands, and you elderly people are watching from the sidelines. After this year, it will not be easy to find him to lead the team up the mountain in the future. ”

Uncle Zhang heard the meaning of the words and hurriedly said, "No." That kid will help as long as you shout. I can't help it this time. It's so sudden. Today, all those relatives went back, and even his father-in-law went with him. Next, Xiao Wu is very free. ”

Uncle Captain looked at him, smiled and shook his head.

As soon as these people in the capital came, more or less people in the county were busy looking for him to set up relationships. Still free? That kid is very ghostly, and he didn't take the opportunity to get his eldest brother to the county seat. said that his second brother was introduced by his sister's father-in-law, and the ghost believed it. Seeing that he has been asking for leave to run to the county seat, he doesn't have to think about it to know that it is all related to him.

He could guess that Zhang Lao's second son was estimated to be fat and lacking, and he didn't have to wait for the New Year, and Xiao Wu would come to the door to stamp it again. How many people squeezed through their brains to drill into the city, and they couldn't get in with a lot of money. Zhang Lao Er is really blessed, and the youngest son has arranged the whole family properly. His house is truly out of the mud.

Accountant Zhang smiled knowingly, changed the topic and said, "Then I'll go back to reconcile the accounts if it's okay." Calculate it early, divide it early, and let everyone have fun. ”

After everyone dispersed, Uncle Captain looked at Uncle Zhang, who was still following him, and said, "If you see Xiao Wu, let that kid stop messing around in the next few days, and postpone something if there is something." ”

After Uncle Zhang answered, he went to Zhang's father's house.

In the hall, Zhang's father listened to the gramophone and happily instructed his two sons to pack souvenirs. Seeing his eldest brother come in, he hurriedly pulled him on the kang.

"Is there something to explain when the eldest brother comes over?"

"It's nothing, Xiao Wu is in the county seat, right? When you see him, you say that Uncle Captain asked him to lead the team up the mountain for the past two days. Uncle Zhang leaned against the wall and said.

Dad Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and secretly worried. He knew that Xiao Wu was busy with his eldest brother's work in the county these days, and by the way, he handled the household registration of a family of three. Where is the time to go up the mountain, let alone spend two nights in the mountain.

Uncle Zhang looked at him with a sad face, frowned and said, "What? You're not happy to let him lead the team? Second, don't forget that the captain's uncle said it himself, and you have to let go of everything. ”

Zhang Guoqiang looked at his father's embarrassed appearance, he was really worried about his father, and hurriedly smiled, "Uncle, don't worry. My dad wouldn't be happy. He was worried that Xiao Wu would not be able to come back in the next few days when he went to the provincial capital today.

Jiaojiao's godfather Fei took the two of them to live in the provincial capital for a few days. You see that now their family of three is all in the county, and I don't know what arrangements will be made next. My father was worried about delaying the affairs of the village, so it was difficult to agree. Don't worry, when someone from our family goes to the county seat, they will tell Xiao Wu as soon as they see him. ”

"Jiaojiao, what else is a godfather? How did I not know? ”

Zhang Guoqiang secretly complained, there are many things you don't know. Seeing his eldest uncle staring at him, he couldn't do it, so he had to explain the relationship between Zhao Chuanguang and Zhou Xiaozheng.

After listening to this, Uncle Zhang decisively decided to let Zhang Guoqing be busy with himself. also found an excuse to comfort himself, without Xiao Wu, wouldn't there be anyone in the village to go up the mountain?

Father Zhang, father and son, laughed when they heard it.

Dad Zhang talked about the second Guoqiang going to work a few days later, but he didn't wait for Uncle Zhang to react. He changed the topic and inquired about Zhang Dani's situation.

Zhang's father is the three brothers, Zhang Dani and Uncle Zhang have the best relationship, and they like to discuss with the boss when they have something. Uncle Zhang is usually the deputy captain, and he often has contacts with the captains of various villages, and if he meets someone who has relatives there, he will also come to inquire. More or less knew about Zhang Dani's situation earlier.

Uncle Zhang shook his head, "I heard last month that the two of them were still the same as in previous years. The two of them are in good health. I listened and didn't ask anything else. As long as Dani and her brother-in-law are well, our Zhang family can't take care of his family's affairs. The conscience of those nephews was all fed to the dogs, saying that they couldn't control their daughters-in-law's disobedience. I think they are unfilial.

The mother-in-law was disobedient, beaten to death, and quit if she didn't accept it, see if she would be filial? Originally, I wanted to go over, but your sister-in-law said that those children hated us. As long as Dani is okay, don't go over to avoid annoying people. I think so. What's up? Would you like to go over and check it out? ”

Daddy Zhang handed him the pipe, "I have this plan." Dani's family in her early years is estimated to be gone, and she wants to go over and give some money. We can't go over as brothers, I'm afraid that no one will support her, and she will suffer.

In the past two years, she has not come back except for Xiao Wucheng. This time, she asked someone to come over for the three rites of peace baptism, and she just happened to take a look at it by returning the gift. ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, I thought that she married a small number of people, and there were few rights and wrongs, but who knew that she would be defeated in the hands of her own children. is such a sister, I just want to drag her home and save her from being a cow and a horse for their Liu family. ”

Uncle Zhang thought that the Zhou family had made such a big fuss, and it stands to reason that Dani had already rushed over when she heard the news. But somehow, this time it was delayed. He discussed with Zhang's father to wait for the child to see the situation after the full moon, but he didn't come and go at that time.
