Chapter 268: On the eve of separation
In the living room outside the West Wing, Zhang's mother and her three daughters-in-law got together to do homework, and they were constantly busy with needlework. At this time, she heard a rumbling voice, "Who's here?" It can't be someone looking for Xiao Wu, right? ”
Zhou Jiao and the others were surprised to find that in a short period of time when Zhang's mother said a word, her voice approached them.
The four of them looked at each other, and Zhang's mother immediately stood up and opened the curtain to take a look, "Ouch, it's Xiao Wu who is back." Come out and see, why is there a tricycle of little devils? ”
After listening to Zhou Jiao, they all ran to the yard. When I saw it, I laughed out loud. Where is the tricycle of the little devil? The whole car has been changed strangely except for the model like.
"Not to mention, it's pretty good after watching it for a long time. Little Five, where are you from? Lin Juhua curiously stepped forward and looked around.
Zhang Guoqing shook his hand, moving his hands and feet, "It's hard to say, let me breathe a sigh of relief first." After speaking, after a while, Zhang Guoqing felt a little hot all over his body, and walked to the small living room with his hands in advance of the things in the car body.
Zhou Jiao handed him a cup of hot water and asked him with a puzzled face, "You won't drive this thing back from the provincial capital, will you?" Where did you get the stuff you brought back? ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at the gossip sister-in-law in the living room, and said helplessly: "I really drove back from the provincial capital." Those things were brought into the car by godfathers. What does it mean to do bad with good intentions? That's it. ”
Zhou Jiao looked at him strangely, "Then why don't you find a driver and let him hang the car on the back of the car, and you can ride by yourself?" It's just a little more money, and there's no need to drive all the way back. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao stupidly. After a while, he covered his face with his hands, "No wonder I feel wrong?" I was taken into a ditch by my godfather. He kept shouting to ride back. I literally rode back. On the way, I also encountered a car bound for the county seat, and I didn't think of anyone who could tow it. Shame on the dead. ”
His words made Zhang's mother laugh, and it was rare to see Xiao Wu confused.
Zhou Jiao was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she changed the topic, "After my mother and they got in the car, did you take a telegram back?" ”
"You've done everything you have done. Mother, why are you the only ones in our family? What about my father? ”
"Your father took the children to your uncle's house. Your eldest brother will go to eat and drink, and he will be back in a while. Didn't your aunt not come this time? Your father turned over last night, probably to discuss things with your uncle. Mother Zhang was worried when she talked about her eldest sister, worried that something big would happen.
Zhang Guoqing stood up and said to Zhou Jiao: "Jiaojiao, let me go and see what they say first?" Seeing her nod, she walked outside.
Zhang Guoqing came to Uncle Zhang's door and directly pushed open the door and entered. The courtyard pattern of the three brothers is exactly the same. Don't think about it, it should be in the hall. When he entered the courtyard, he found that except for the sound of the hall, the wings on both sides were closed, and the women of the family should have gone to work.
In the hall, the three brothers of Zhang's father sat on the kang and smoked dry cigarettes, each of them doing homely work.
As soon as Zhang Guoqing came in, Zhang's father asked him, "Why did you find it?" Everything is done in the provincial capital, right? ”
"It's all done. I just came back, and I heard my mother say that you are worried about your aunt, so I don't worry about coming over to take a look. How's the discussion going? How many people are going this time? Zhang Guoqing moved a stool and sat on the edge of the kang and said.
Father Zhang pointed to the two brothers, "Your uncle and your uncle said to ask someone first to see what is going on?" Wait to figure out the past. ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at him and thought about it. As a junior, there is no need to question the elders. According to his thoughts, it was time to go over and see it in the morning. Still waiting to inquire?
Uncle Zhang said to Zhang Guoqing: "Little Wu, you said that we should go over and pick up your aunt and uncle to live this time?" Uncle thought that as long as your aunt and her sisters lived in the village and were far away from those people, they would be fine. It's a bad thing if it's too far away. I can't help something. ”
Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows, he couldn't take this well, "Uncle refers to the aunt and the two people entering the village?" Seeing him nodding, he then asked him, "Then aunt, are they willing to let go of their children and grandchildren?" Even if we build a house for my aunt, will those cousins agree? Won't say that the elderly have a private room? Even if the aunt and the others come over, what if those cousins and cousins often come to make trouble in the future? The three of us will have no children. ”
Uncle Zhang nodded approvingly and interjected, "The eldest sister won't move over." It's not that I haven't mentioned it before. When her father-in-law died, they asked the whole family to move to the village, and they didn't listen. ”
Zhang Guoqing saw that their old brother's brows were furrowed, and asked curiously, "Why don't the eldest aunt and the old couple move out by themselves?" They don't have to worry about not living with their sons. ”
Uncle Zhang sighed, "Your aunt said that if she moves out, it will affect her grandson's family affairs in the future." ”
Zhang Guoqing understood his intentions. It's nothing more than using the excuse of going back to their parents' house to let them live in and stay away from those few superb. But it's so simple. Don't say that his aunt disagrees, just say that if you live in, how will you support you when you get old? Who takes care of them? This is not a few days and months, and the pension is a simple touch of the skin.
Except for him, no one is rich. Hehe, it's not good, just now his uncle asked him, just because he wanted him to offer to support the two old people to take over the burden. He doesn't care about giving a few dollars, but who wants to do that stupid thing when he takes it? Thankless work. Especially his aunt is still a fool, and the bloodsucking leeches in the house have to be emptied after a few days.
Zhang Guoqing stopped making a sound, and sat quietly on the side listening to their chatter.
As soon as the broadcast sounded after work, Zhang Guoqing and his father and son said goodbye and left.
As soon as Dad Zhang came out of Uncle Zhang's yard, his face was stiff. Zhang Guoqing also had a fire in his heart, and when he saw his father's face, he knew that he was not wrong. sighed secretly, and followed Dad Zhang back to the room.
"Good thing you hear me. Don't let your mother know about your uncle's calculations. Dad Zhang leaned on the kang and said in disappointment.
Zhang Guoqing nodded and teased him: "You didn't look at you before I answered?" Your old son is yours, not stupid. It's not that your old son has no conscience. It doesn't matter if you give money or things, but you can't live in. ”
Father Zhang whispered: "Your uncle is smart. Slurred in speech and behavior. As soon as I said that I would go over to see your aunt, I didn't even have an opinion on your uncle, but he said that I would wait for him to inquire about the good news. Ay...... He's the boss, listen to him. I knew that I wouldn't discuss it with him, so I went to see your aunt directly. Now it's hanging. ”
"Dad, you forgot that there is an election these days? I should go when the election is good. Zhang Guoqing knew that Brother Lobby's election was choking time.
Dad Zhang patted his head again and again, but he really didn't get in touch with one place. "Your uncle inquired about your second brother. I want you to help your cousin find a job. Don't go to the two of them these days. Wait for your eldest brother's matter to be implemented, let's go to the county seat for a while. ”
Seeing Zhang Guoqing laughing in a low voice, Dad Zhang patted him fiercely, "Do you think your father doesn't want to bring his nephew?" The problem is that jobs are so easy to find? I can't give so many nephews to anyone, anyway, it's not good to be a person inside and out, so I shouldn't understand. ”
Zhang Guoqing didn't want to hear about work, and now he is concerned about materials.
After dinner, the three brothers Zhang Guoqing followed Zhang's father back to the bedroom of the East Wing.
Zhang Guoqing spoke in detail about several units that have been contacted at present. At present, in addition to the textile factory and the post office, the auxiliary workers of the textile factory, the post office sorter, the salesman under the grain bureau, the warehouse manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the employee of the meat factory, the other three are temporary workers. He used all means to contact these jobs, and it depends on how his eldest brother chooses. The final result depends on Leslie Cheung's own preferences.
Dad Zhang was excited when he heard this. These are all good units, and even the people in the city can't squeeze in. He went to the county seat to inquire about his father-in-law.
Zhang Guofu lowered his head and thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Child, his uncle means that no matter what unit can enter, go in quickly." If it weren't for Xiao Wu, no one would be able to enter the city. I know that Xiao Wu must have put a lot of effort into it. Big brother doesn't say kind words to you. You see which one makes you owe the least favors and will not need you to pay a lot of blood in the future, you will let the eldest brother go to that unit. All five are good units, and all of them are high climbs for me. You look at it. ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at the honest eldest brother, the more he didn't want to trouble himself, the more he wanted to find a good unit for him. He planned to find a good unit to go in first, and then let his eldest brother go to night school, and then find a relationship and change departments. At present, the most reliable relationship is the textile factory, and it will not be squeezed out if it enters. That day, I heard Uncle Chen say that there are many types of auxiliary workers, and there is still a way to change it easily. The most suitable is the salesperson under the food bureau, with the neighbor Lao Chen here, and the temporary worker can also have space for discussion. The main thing is that you don't have to worry about food in the future, and your commute time is fixed and relaxed.
Zhang Guoqing pondered for a while and said: "I am most satisfied with the salesman under the Food Bureau, and it is not a big problem for temporary workers to become regular workers." The most reassuring thing for me is the textile factory, but I am too tired to be on duty often. Second brother, can you help the eldest brother figure out which one is suitable? These tasks must be decided as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Guoqiang has no opinion on these two jobs, he has been working for a while and knows the importance of backing. Moreover, his eldest brother has a good temperament, is stable and shrewd, and he will not be bad anywhere.
"I think it's all right. The textile factory has Aunt Zuo, and the Food Bureau has Uncle Chen. Big brother picks any one. ”
"Don't pick, Food Bureau. When you hear it, you won't be afraid of not having food. Boss, you listen to Daddy this time. It must be the best to be able to satisfy Xiao Wu. "Dad Zhang couldn't see his eldest son's ink and made a decisive decision.
Zhang Guoqiang's two brothers stared at Zhang Guofu and saw a smile on his face. The two looked at each other and smiled, which can be regarded as a big thing.
Zhang Guoqing saw that there was nothing wrong, stood up and said, "Okay." In the past two days, I talked to Lao Chen about how to change to a regular job. Big brother is ready to go to work next week, and I'll come with you when the time comes. It's okay, I'm leaving. ”
Dad Zhang hurriedly called out to him, "What's the hurry? Sit down. Daddy still has something to do. ”
Zhang Guoqing sat down again, looked at him suspiciously, and waited for him to speak.
Dad Zhang glared at him and said slowly, "Dad and your mother have been discussing for a long time during this time. Let's divide the family first, and the money will be distributed to you as soon as possible. You have a job, and you have money in hand. There is one more thing, Dad also has to talk to you three brothers in private. Save your brothers from having a pimple in their hearts. ”
Zhang Guoqing's three brothers let him say it casually. What's more, it's nothing more than worrying about the uneven division of the family and the discord of the brothers.
Zhang Guofu has a good heart, and he feels that the more and less are for his brothers and not for others.
Zhang Guoqiang knew that he didn't have much to hand over to his family. The family's money is all earned by the eldest and the little five. It's good to have money to share.
Father Zhang looked at his sons, all with smiles on their faces. Secretly happy, "When your three brothers make money and hand it over to the family, your father will start keeping accounts." In the past few days, I have turned over the account book, and Xiao Wu has paid the most money. But Xiao Wu, Dad can only let you and Jiaojiao suffer. You don't have to speak. Dad also knows you don't care. ”
Dad Zhang stopped Zhang Guoqing to speak. Then he said, "I'll ask the clan elders and their elders to come over tomorrow night." Go back to the house and say hello to your daughter-in-law. ”
Seeing that everything was negotiated, Dad Zhang asked them to go back to the house to rest.
