Chapter 216: Small Talk
Zhang Lao Er in the car was secretly thinking about what gifts should be prepared for Zhang Meimei's warm house. At this time, I saw Zhang Guoqing come back and said, "Little Wu, what should we buy for the warm house of the eldest sister?" ”
Zhang Guoqing thought about it and suggested when he heard this: "Second brother, I think that the five brothers and sisters in our family are the eldest sister who suffers the most. At that time, the conditions in the family were the worst, she didn't study for a few years, and she didn't give her any dowry when she got married. When she married her brother-in-law and started working, she spent time making up for her mother's family.
The eldest sister is like her mother. I think she must not want to give money, and we can't afford to buy it if it's too expensive, let alone necessary. You see, in a week, didn't we build a house and buy a lot of wood? How about moving some to make a simple wardrobe and table? This costs the least and is decent. ”
Zhang Guoqiang nodded when he heard this. His eldest sister loves her mother's family more than her younger sister. Their mother's family has the conditions, so they have to make her waist straight.
"You're still smart. But the wardrobe and the table are all there, and her living room is empty. I see that a few chairs and coffee tables in your living room are very beautiful. We don't have to make such a good one, it's simpler, how about making a set? ”
"Is there time to come? Why don't we discuss it with my father and mother and my eldest brother. ”
After the car drove into Zhangjia Village, when he saw that he was at the gate, Zhang Lao Er hurriedly stuffed a handful of money into Zhang Guoqing's pocket and said, "This is what you gave at noon." I still have it in my hand, and I'll look for you when I'm gone. ”
Zhang Guoqing didn't politely push with his brother, and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, you don't have the money to tell me." You can't be short of money when you go to work, and there are a lot of entertainments. Money is still a man's guts, and where to go with money is not empty. After a meal at noon today, how are your colleagues doing? ”
"It's all good, and I mentioned a lot. Don't worry, even if you look at Uncle Zuo's face, they won't make it difficult for me. I read it and there was basically no problem. If there's something really going on, I'll talk to you about it. And what do you think of the two units that Zuo Lin said? Do you want to take the opportunity to go in? ”
Zhang Guoqing parked the car, and when he saw that he was about business, he didn't rush to get out of the car, and said, "I can't think of what job my eldest brother likes?" Supply and marketing cooperatives are better than textile factories, and then find someone to inquire, it is best to find a decent and light job. We're not in a hurry, if I had been in a hurry to find someone today. Wait. Think about it, too, and we'll take a look. ”
Zhang Lao Er opened the car door and said, "Then I'll go to my father's to talk to them first." You go and talk to Jiaojiao about today's events first, and come back later. ”
Zhang Lao Er nodded when he saw him and lifted the work clothes on the car. He walked straight to the hall, and as soon as he arrived at the house, he saw his father and eldest brother sitting on the kang and cooking home.
When Dad Zhang heard the movement, he saw that the second child had returned, and hurriedly asked, "Who is that soldier?" What's the matter with the little five father-in-law? Have you found your Uncle Zhou? ”
Zhang Guoqiang smiled and didn't rush to answer, he drank the water in Zhang's father's cup slowly and methodically, and said, "Good guy, you almost scared me to death." As soon as the man took me out, I heard several cars at the entrance of the village. ”
"It's important." Daddy Zhang was so angry that he grabbed the quilt and said.
Zhang Guoqiang was really anxious when he saw his father. He hurriedly began to tell what happened when he got from here to the county seat. He spoke eloquently throughout the whole process, and many details were explained clearly.
After hearing this, Daddy Zhang and the others looked surprised and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Father Zhang exhaled and said: "No wonder Jiaojiao's father and daughter don't follow the old Zhou family at all, no wonder the old abuse Jiaojiao, it turns out that they are not biological!" This family is really not a thing. Lao Tzu got carried away when he saw wealth, and so did his son. ”
The boss Zhang Guofu didn't care to express his opinion, he looked out worriedly and said, "What about Xiao Wu?" Why haven't you come back yet? What about Uncle Zhou's people? They don't come back at night? Can you sleep in that yard in the county seat? ”
Zhang Lao Er hurriedly said: "I came back with Xiao Wu." I asked Xiao Wu to go back to the room and talk to Jiaojiao about this, I have to let Jiaojiao know that tomorrow they will follow Uncle Zhou to the ancestral hall. That old man Cheng is very careful. He said that the ancestral hall was heavy and yin, so don't bring the child there. After speaking, he took all those people to the guest house, and even Uncle Zhou was called over by him. ”
After speaking, he suddenly remembered another thing, "That's right, Dad." The old man asked me to convey a sentence that they would visit their in-laws tomorrow when they went to the ancestral hall. Tomorrow our family is going to prepare? ”
"Then let's not go to the mountains tomorrow. Just at home to see what your Uncle Zhou has to help. I'll tell you about this later. Dad Zhang said immediately.
At this time, he noticed a bunch of things around the second child, and he pointed and asked, "You wear these clothes to work, right?" It's all right, right? ”
"Well, I haven't told you about it yet. I'll go to work next Monday, and I'll be in the Household Registration Division. If there is no problem in three months, I can become a regular. I also invited my colleagues to a meal at noon. The first little five in the bureau helped me take care of it, and Xiao Wu also helped me get a dormitory, and he had a lot of acquaintances in it. He helped him do it. Uncle Zuo said that it hasn't been three months since I turned regular, and during this time, let me live by myself first, and it doesn't matter if I don't swagger. ”
Dad Zhang smiled happily when he heard this, "Then you have to thank people and usually have a good relationship with your colleagues." ”
Zhang Guoqiang looked at his eldest brother and saw that he was also happy for himself with joy on his face.
He hurriedly ran to the boss and said, "Big brother, we are in the bureau today, and Uncle Zuo said that Aunt Zuo mentioned two pieces of news for him to tell Xiao Wu." It's about your work. You can listen to it.
One is that a warehouse in the county textile factory caught fire, and the news was not spread inside, but the employees were still punished, and now the position is vacant; Another is the internal recruitment of supply and marketing cooperatives. I don't think I can look at Xiao Wu. What do you think? The two of us can't think of what you like? ”
Father Zhang glared at him when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Dare to say anything." What do you mean by not being able to look down on? It's all good. What do you think, Boss? If you don't want to go to the county seat, you always have an idea, right? ”
Zhang Guofu looked at them with a smile and said, "Don't let Xiao Wu owe favors." It's not easy to do things at work. Last time, my brother-in-law helped me find it for a long time, but it didn't work. In case Xiao Wu entrusts people, what if people ask Xiao Wu for help in the future? Our three brothers are gone, who will take care of my father, or I will stay with my father. ”
Zhang Guoqiang glared at him angrily and complained: "Big brother, why are the three brothers gone?" In the future, we won't bring my father and mother over. Don't think about anything else. Where do you want to go to work? What do you want to do?
Xiao Wu was about to die of sorrow, saying that he didn't know what you liked. He didn't want you to go into the textile factory, he said he didn't want you to go in and do manual work. Even the supply and marketing cooperatives he was not happy, and said to wait and find a decent and trouble-free one. Think about it, he doesn't want you to go to the grain station in the township, and you are still worried that he owes favors? He was determined to be as picky as the girl was looking for her mother-in-law. He's staring at people right now, just to owe you a favor. You just think hard, Xiao Wu won't let you stay in the village and go to the ground anyway. ”
"Boss, think about it. Daddy is not old now, you plan your future first. ”
Zhang Guofu rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, it's not so easy, you don't see whether the people in this city still have jobs." Last year, my brother-in-law spent a lot of money to send me to the unit, but it was still a temporary worker, and I couldn't do it without a temporary worker who turned regular in three months like the second child. The second thing's just been handled, I'll go again, it's not good-looking, wait a minute. ”
Zhang Guoqiang had some eyebrows in his heart when he heard this, his eldest brother didn't want to go to work, but he was worried about increasing the burden on Xiao Wu, so it would be easy to do. "Big brother, if your brother-in-law did it last time, would you go to work? So what did the temporary workers of the supply and marketing cooperatives do at that time? ”
"It seems to be sorting things out in the warehouse, and usually delivering them to help move them. I heard that he is a warehouse keeper. The unit recruited last year. ”
Zhang Guoqiang already knew it in his heart when he heard it. He didn't continue on this, changed the topic, and said, "Dad, have our wild deer been sold?" ”
"What? Useful? It's all sold. I kept the goat meat. Tomorrow you don't go to the mountain, and when you're free in a few days, we'll go by ourselves, and no one will have an opinion if there's more. ”
Zhang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "It's useless." If you have more, bring some back to the Cheng family. They came by military plane, and it is estimated that they will also rush back. ”
"I'll take care of that." Daddy Zhang nodded and said.
