49. Hometown

Xiaobao raised his red face and shouted, "I want to go back too."

Zhang Yu: "Okay, Xiaobao wants to go back with us, so go back and see your little friends."

"Oh, go home! I'm going home! Xiaobao cheered.

"When I go home, the house in my hometown has been sold, and it is no longer our home." I don't know when, the second girl appeared at the door.

Xiaobao came to his senses.

"Yes! The houses in Dongyang Village have been sold, and it is no longer our home, but here. ”

"The house here is rented, and this is not our home."

Zhang Yu corrected: "Erniu, this is our home, although the house is rented, but as long as there is a family, it is home."

Ling Feng: "That's right, where there is a family, it is home, no matter whether the house is rented or bought."

Zhang Yu: "House! As long as you have money, you can buy it at any time, and it is only a matter of time before we buy a house. ”

Xiaobao was worried: "Let's go back on Saturday, where do we stay?"

Yingzi: "Just live in my house."

Erniu: "Sister Yingzi, do you want to go back too?"

Yingzi hesitated.

"I'm not going back, the big girl and I are gone, what about the business here?"

Zhang Yu thought, Yingzi is the first time to leave her family and go far away, and it will be two months after she left, she must be very homesick and miss her family, so take her back with her!

"Yingzi, let's go back together! Your parents must be worried about you, and you go back and tell them in person that you are doing well here, so that they can rest assured. ”

"But what about the sale?"

"Then it's a two-day break, anyway, the money will never run out."

Yingzi shook her head.

"Two days off is to earn 200 yuan less, enough for a year's income for one person in the village, and I am reluctant to lose such a large amount of money in vain."

"Then you are willing to give up a chance to go home and see your family?"

"I'll write a letter for you to bring back to them. Write everything I want to say in the letter. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Then let's do it!" I'll stay, and you go back with Brother Ling Feng to help me bring the rice." I still have two girls to help! So there is no delay in making money. ”

Yingzi: "Is that okay?" If you don't go back, can Brother Zhang rest assured that he will hand over the 400 catties of rice to me? ”

"Why don't you worry, Xiaobao will go back with you, when Brother Zhang sees Xiaobao, he knows that someone in our family will go back to Lami. Xiaobao is the only man in our family, and he is the pillar of the future, send Xiaobao back, the best representative of our old Zhang family, and then call the village chief and accountant, someone to testify, he is not afraid. ”

"That's true, but girl, can't you go back?"

"It doesn't matter if I go back or not, anyway, in Dongyang Village, I don't have anyone to worry about, at most I can go to worship my parents and grandparents, and I can only ask you to take Xiaobao to give them incense, burn paper, kowtow, and tell them that we are doing well here."

Yingzi hurriedly said: "I can do this, don't worry!"

After agreeing on the time, Ling Feng left.

Zhang Yu went to the room and took out a passbook and gave it to Yingzi.

"Yingzi, in the past two months, in addition to those necessary expenses, there are more than 5,000 yuan left in the money we have earned, and the three of us can each get 1,300 yuan, Yingzi, this is yours, I will help you store it, you will take the time to get a little tomorrow, buy some gifts for your parents and brother to take home, and you will also go and buy a beautiful dress yourself." We are no worse than the people in the city now, we can't let the people in the city look down on us, and we should also improve and change in our dress. ”

"Big girl, this money is too much! I'll take less, a thousand dollars. ”

"There are still people in this world who don't like a lot of money!"

"Girl, when I first came, I thought, as long as I have food and shelter to live, it's better than being poked in the back all day long in the village and living aggrieved! I didn't expect you to give me so much money. ”

"This is what you deserve, Yingzi, if it weren't for your help, Erniu and I wouldn't be able to make so much money, we are mutually successful, a family is that you can't do without me, I can't do without you."

Erniu: "Eldest sister, go buy two new clothes yourself!"

Yingzi: "That's right! Big girl, let's go buy it together, and we will all dress beautifully in the future. ”

The next day, after dinner, all four of them went shopping together at the department store.

Yingzi bought a good shirt with red flowers on a white background, a burgundy corduroy jacket, a pair of blue corn pants, and a royal blue corduroy pants.

Zhang Yu bought a blue floral cotton shirt, a pink corduroy jacket, and blue corduroy pants.

Yingzi also bought a set of clothes for her parents and brother.

Zhang Yu bought some sweets and biscuits to give to her family and relatives.

Zhang Yu also bought some fruit candy, sorghum starch candy, and peanut candy, and left some at home to eat by himself, and asked Xiaobao to bring some back to the village chief's house, and some to Brother Zhang's family, who bought their rice.

Xiaobao was reluctant: "Why do you want to give them candy?" Isn't it good to keep it for yourself? ”

The second girl also said: "We are not related to them, why do we bring candy to them?"

Zhang Yu: "This is etiquette, dealing with others, giving some small gifts, others are happy, and you are also happy." Those who do great things must be broad-minded. ”

Erniu and Xiaobao listened to whether they understood or not.

Zhang Yu told Xiaobao again.

"When the time comes, go to see your parents and grandparents, put a few pieces of candy in front of their graves, and make them happy and happy."

Xiaobao: "I have only eaten fruit candy before, I think this is the best thing in the world, when I got here, I knew that there are more delicious sorghum syrup and peanut candy, only to know that candy is not only sweet, but also fragrant, I don't know if grandparents and parents have eaten, if they haven't eaten, let them taste, they will know, our current days, just like these candies, there are sweet, and fragrant."

"That's a good point, Xiaobao, when the time comes, you can tell them how we live every day now, they know that we don't need to carry water to eat, we don't need to wash clothes by hand, we don't need to do very hard work, but we can make money, they must be very happy."

Xiaobao: "So, they won't worry about us."

Zhang Yu: "Yes, yes, so Xiaobao knows them best."

They also bought some incense, candles, and paper for the sacrificial service.

After returning home, Zhang Yu told Yingzi to go back to his hometown this time and keep a low profile, especially not to tell others, including his own family, how much money he earned.

"Why?"

Zhang Yu: "If you tell your family, we can earn a year's income for one person in the village in two days, so that the family will definitely not be able to help but publicize it to the villagers, and then there will be two results."
