Chapter 85: Lao Wang!

Zhang Xu followed, picked up a big bowl, filled it with food, and then squatted down to eat: "Sister, I haven't been to the grocery store for several hours, hasn't anything major happened?" ”

"No, everything is fine." Wang Qing, who was changing the water for the turtle, raised his head and said, "By the way, ask!" How was the matter handled in northern Jiangsu? ”

"Everything was settled, Lao Hei discovered a copper mine while repairing the dam of the Luohe Reservoir." Zhang Xu smiled.

"What?" Wang Qing stared.

Copper ore is now the most scarce resource in the country, and one can be found in northern Jiangsu at this time. In this way, the future life in the northern Jiangsu region will be very good.

Thinking of this, she was happy for the people of northern Jiangsu.

Zhang Xu smiled at Wang Qing's appearance and continued to talk about what happened in northern Jiangsu.

Of course, what you can't say is don't say it.

In short, what Wang Qing sees is the truth.

Thank you for going to northern Jiangsu this time.

Everything is Zhao Tian.

This has nothing to do with Zhang Xu.

Just before she was done, Mina took Lao Zhang to the kitchen door and said, "Ah! Are you back now? ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Xu nodded.

Mina reminded, "Let me tell you! I met your parents at your old Zhang's house, and he said you must go back early tomorrow morning. ”。

"Why?" Zhang Xu was confused.

It's okay to go back, but why should you go back sooner!

"Because your parents said they were moving tomorrow," Mina replied.

That is to move to a new house, which requires Zhang Xu's presence.

"Oh!" Zhang Xu suddenly realized.

Wang Qing on the side was also very happy: "Third brother, do you have to go back, otherwise you will be gossiped about by relatives, or ...... Shall we go in a moment? ”

"Okay!" Zhang Xu nodded.

He's forgetting such a big thing, fucking it.

"Then when you leave, remember to tell me!" Mina smiled.

"Good!" Zhang Xu nodded approvingly.

My parents must have invited Mina this time, otherwise she would never have said that.

"I'm going to make jokes, too." Lao Zhang stroked his beard and said.

"Huh? Why are you attending the party this time? ”

Zhang Xu was surprised when he heard this, and looked up at Lao Zhang.

It's not that I don't want to go, but to be honest.

If there is a lively occasion such as wine and dinner.

Lao Zhang never participated.

"Alas! Zhou Tiantian is old and wants to marry Li Shan in the next year, so it is not okay to have a good house. I would like to take this opportunity to take a look at the shape and structure of your red brick house. If it's good, I'll buy a plot of land around the grocery store and buy him a house. Lao Zhang told the inside story.

As soon as the words came out, the scene was quiet.

Glancing at Zhang Xu, Wang Qing said, "Uncle Jiang, I heard that the Jiang family is a big business now. You let Zhou Tiantian settle down in the grocery store. What about the Jiang family's industry? ”

This is a very real problem.

It's not that she wants to keep it for herself, it's that she's thinking about every day of the week.

If so many family assets are not inherited, I am afraid that some people will regret it.

Lao Zhang knew that Wang Qing regarded himself as a family member, so he said such things.

After a pause, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "My home is now in the grocery store, and my relatives are in the grocery store too." As for the rest of the Jiang family, what should I do? ”

Although this is ambiguous.

But those who know Lao Zhang's attitude are Wang Qing and Zhang Xu.

After laughing, I never mentioned this sensitive topic again.

After all, at any time, this is Lao Zhang's family affair, and their siblings are not easy to manage.

Lao Zhang saw that the food in Zhang Xu's bowl had not been finished yet, so he went to prepare.

Mina waited.

A moment later.

Get on an Isuzu two-seater truck.

We went to the mountain town together.

……

At the foot of Jiangnan.

Three red-brick houses were demolished.

Very bright in the moonlight.

In the middle of the gate of a building, Zhang Xu was killing chickens. Zhang Xu was waiting with a box of boiling water, but his eyes were always on the country road.

Zhang Xu saw Zhang Xu's thoughts: "Don't look, the children are old now, they have something, and they will come back when they should come back." ”

"Is Rhona old? Is Zhang Xu old? I don't like to hear this! Zhang Xu said in a strange way, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

This made Zhang Xu a little overwhelmed.

I just don't know what to do.

A bright light came from the country road.

Then the horn sounded.

"Is Zhang Xu back?" Zhang Xu, who walked to the kitchen door, quickly turned his head and looked at the village road.

Zhang Xu also raised his head.

When I saw that it was really Zhang Xu's Isuzu two-seater van.

It was washed up.

"Dad, Mommy......" As soon as the Isuzu two-seater truck stopped, Rona came out.

Next were Nana and Wang Qing, followed by Liu Qiang, Mina, Lao Zhang, Zhou Tiantian, Li Shan and Zhou Shan, who also walked out of the double row.

"Oops! Here we go! Zhang Xu was very happy.

Zhang Xu was also a little excited, and ran to get firecrackers and set them off.

Zhang Xu wanted to stop, but was choked by Lao Zhang: "Son, did you design these three red brick houses?" ”

"Almost!" Zhang Xu smiled.

"Good! Good! Lao Zhang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The shape is really good, but why don't you install the doors and windows on the second floor first!" It's too ugly to leave a hole. ”

"As for the floor plan of the second floor, I want to install aluminum alloy doors and windows, but now Chu Hua is out of stock, so let the mason reserve a hole first." Zhang Xu told the truth.

"Aluminum alloy doors and windows??" Lao Zhang was surprised.

He had never heard of it.

Zhang Xu replied: "The doors and windows of aluminum alloy are much better than those made of wood. It's a pity that the small city of Chuhua can't buy it at all. ”

After speaking, he didn't explain, but took Lao Zhang and Mina into the simple red-brick house. "Look at the difference between the red brick house I designed and the houses designed by others."

The reason why they did not introduce aluminum alloy doors and windows.

That's because it's ahead of schedule.

Even in some large cities in the 70s of the 20th century, aluminum alloy doors and windows appeared.

He also didn't want to popularize with Lao Zhang.

Because there is no need.

Lao Zhang didn't study architecture.

His words also succeeded in diverting Lao Zhang's attention.

After walking around the red brick house, Lao Zhang looked at Zhang Xu in surprise: "Your kitchen in the red brick house is in the house!" Why is this ...... The toilet is also in the house? Won't it stink then? ”

"Haha...... Of course not. Zhang Xu joked, and was about to introduce the toilet that Lu Qin bought at a high price from other places. Outside the door, Rhona's sweet voice came: "Brother, brother...... Come out on, someone's looking for you. ”

"Really?" Zhang Xu looked at Lao Zhang and hurriedly walked out of the red brick house.

At the door, there is a bus.

Lao Li got out of the taxi.

Zhang Xu smiled and walked out of the car and opened the back door.

Then, I saw a middle-aged woman, barefoot, wearing patched clothes.

Behind the middle-aged woman, there are four children.

All four children are in their teens.

The little one is estimated to be seven or eight years old at most.

At this time, I looked at my surroundings with curiosity.

Zhang Xu was also curious about the arrival of this middle-aged woman. He asked Lao Li repeatedly: "What are you doing?" ”

"Don't you know them?" Lao Li smiled.

"I don't know." Zhang Xu shook his head.

Lao Li reminded: "Call your parents, and you will know what happened." ”。

"Okay!" Zhang Xu is ready to do it.

Zhang Xu and Mina ran out.

After seeing the appearance of the middle-aged woman, both of them were stunned.

Among them, Zhang Xu couldn't help shouting: "Liu Shiyun, are you Shiyun?" ”

"Alas!" The middle-aged woman nodded sheepishly.

"That's your fourth aunt." Lao Li said to Zhang Xu with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhang Xu was stunned.

For as long as he can remember, his fourth aunt Liu Shiyun has been there.

He has married far away from home, and he has no impression at all.

It's strange to come back this time.

But Zhang Xu and Mina didn't care so much, but took Liu Shiyun's hand and walked into the red brick house with the four children.

Zhang Xu stretched out his hand, not knowing what to say for a while.

Lao Zhang stroked his beard and asked Lao Li, "How did you find their mother and son?" ”

"At the Jiefang intersection, I almost hit their house when I was on duty. Later, I bought them some food, and then I knew they were coming to find relatives. Lao Li said calmly.

Of course, this relative refers to the Zhang Xu family.

"Surrender?" Lao Zhang frowned slightly.

Zhang Xu also heard another meaning from these words.

In other words, Liu Shiyun is afraid that life is very difficult now.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to flee from other provinces.

But what he doesn't understand is.

How did Liu Shiyun come to Chuhua with her four children.

What about her husband? Why don't you follow me at this time?

Just as I was about to go to the house to check on the situation, there was a sudden noise on the country road. Then I saw Zhao Ming driving a brand new tractor. On the box opened by the tractor, there were Li Long, Luo Lan, Li Chao and Rhubarb.

It is clear that Zhang Xu's family has gone too far. They are relatives.

Of course, we should all make a big fuss.

This is a rural custom.

In general, this is necessary.

When Zhang Xu saw it, he was startled and rushed forward: "Oh! My uncle is rich now! I can even afford a tractor. ”

In the early 80s of the 20th century, the cost of a tractor was high.

It costs at least £3000 to buy it.

It is equivalent to a red brick house.

If you change someone else.

I'm afraid I can't afford it at all.

Zhao Ming opened a school supply counter in a department store.

There is such an ability.

In other words, it's all thanks to Zhang Xu.

Zhao Ming will never forget Zhang Xu's support for her.

So as soon as I heard Zhang Xu's words, I couldn't be modest: "Don't make fun of me, okay?" Didn't I watch Lee Long do nothing? So I bought him a tractor to transport it, at least so that I could still eat a bowl of rice. ”

"Isn't he good at making shoes? How could he have nothing to do? Zhang Xu was confused.

"It's true. Your mom fired everyone yesterday when she saw unused tires. Roland said inside.

"So!" Zhang Xu suddenly realized.

This is not to blame Li Long, let alone Zhao Ming and Roland.

After all, Li Long was already sixteen or seventeen years old. It is impossible to wait for his arrangement at home.

A few decades later, driving a tractor was not good, but in the 80s of the 20th century it was a very popular job.

At this time, Zhao Ming could buy a tractor for Li Long. He deserves to be a teacher. There is nothing wrong with this plan.

Seeing Lao Zhang's family and Uncle Wu's family coming out of the tractor's cargo box, they hurriedly took them to the door of the red brick house and said, "Yes! Remind you that the fourth aunt is back. ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Ming glared.

Roland also thinks he is wrong.

Li Chao's expression was even more exaggerated. He looked at Zhang Xu blankly, thinking that Zhang Xu was joking.

Rhubarb lost his voice and asked, "Are you talking about the fourth aunt Liu Shiyun?" ”

After all, Liu Shiyun has been married for more than ten years, and there is no news now.

This Zhang Xu's family went too far.

It's weird.

"It's her. If you don't believe me, you can go in and have a look. Zhang Xu smiled.

Hearing this, Li Chao first rushed into the red brick house.

Rhubarb followed Zhao Ming and Roland.

Other families followed.

Zhang Xu did not go to the party.

But watch at the door.

Lao Li on the side stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Xu's shoulder: "My task has been completed, so I'll go back first." ”

Zhang Xu said, "Have you had dinner?" If you haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the kitchen and get it for you. ”。

"You don't know why I haven't eaten dinner yet." Lao Li replied gratefully, got in the car and ran.

Zhang Xumu sent him away and looked at the clock hanging in the living room.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and he even said to Lao Zhang: "Uncle, let's go back to the room and sit down!" If you want to rest early, I can arrange a room for you to sleep in. ”

"Nope! No! I'm not sleepy today. I have to visit the house you designed. Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Go with your relatives!" Especially Liu Shiyun, you have to ask her why she is like this. ”

"Good! Good! Zhang Xulian nodded.

After inviting Luo Na and Nana to accompany Lao Zhang, they walked into the red brick house.

In the living room.

In addition to Li Na, the eight siblings of the Liu family are all here today.

Under Zhang Xu's arrangement, Liu Shiyun has changed into clean clothes.

Shoes have also been replaced. They are sandals made from waste tires.

After dressing up, the whole person has changed.

Zhang Xu was almost unrecognizable.

Seeing Zhang Xu and Mina whispering, he immediately picked up the teapot in the corner and came to Liu Shiyun's side: "Auntie, where did you get married before?" I don't know yet! ”

As soon as the words came out, the living room immediately fell silent.

Even Mina and Zhang Xu, who were whispering, couldn't help but look at Liu Shiyun.

The reason why this is the case is because even they don't know where Liu Shiyun got married.

All this was arranged by Li Na. It was a few months after their siblings learned of the situation.

Now he's back with four children.

I'm afraid it was Li Na who made a terrible hole.

Sure enough, when Liu Shiyun heard Zhang Xu ask him like this, it was a choked shout: "The place where I got married is called Daoyu Town, which belongs to Jiangnan." Where is more bitter than ours? We grow rice three times a year, but even then, we still can't fill our stomachs. ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

This Li Na unexpectedly married Liu Shiyun to Jiangnan.

It is also a place behind the mountain town.

What kind of heart is this!

Zhang Xu didn't notice this, but was very interested in the two place names Jiangnan and Daoyu Town.

He was familiar with the place names of Swordfish Town.

It is a town under the jurisdiction of Fuming Town,

After pouring Liu Shiyun a cup of tea, he asked again: "Daoyu Town is so bitter, don't you know how to come back?" ”

"I don't know how to go!" Liu Shiyun said the inside story loudly.

"How can you bring four children to Chuhua this time?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Because Gangnam is building roads recently! It is said that this was to open up the trade route between Jiangbei and Jiangnan. I overheard the inside story, so I sneaked into a van with my four children and it took three days and three nights to get to Chuhua, but ...... I didn't dare to go back to the mountain city because I was afraid that you would scold me. Liu Shiyun told all the inside stories, but the whole person cried very much.

It's a sign of an emotional breakdown when seeing a loved one.

The Liu family in the room didn't know what this was like.

Mina walked up to Liu Shiyun and comforted her. After wiping the tears from her face with her hands, she asked softly, "Even if your husband's family is poor, you can't sneak away with your four children!" What will your husband do when you leave? What would your in-laws do? Will you die in a hurry? ”

"My husband died in the coal mine a year ago. As for my in-laws, they don't care about me at all, otherwise I wouldn't have brought the kids back! Liu Shiyun said, tears burst out of her eyes, and she threw herself into Mina's arms, very sad.

"Okay, okay!" Mina didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Liu family who was present was also silent.

The current Liu Shiyun is too miserable.

Then their siblings must help.

If we put this in the past, I'm afraid it would be impossible.

But now, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Li Chao, Rhubarb, Lao Li, Roland and Mina turned their eyes to Zhang Xu.

After all, Zhang Xu is the biggest and richest in the family, so they naturally want to hear Zhang Xu's words.

As for her sister Li Na, this point was naturally ignored.

Zhang Xu naturally knew the eyes of his brothers and sisters very well. He coughed and said, "Shiyun! Now that you're back, stay at my house for the time being! There are a lot of houses anyway. ”

"Not bad." Zhang Xulian nodded.

"What's wrong? You can help build a cottage. Liu Shiyun continued.

In rural areas, married girls cannot live in their parents' homes for long periods of time, which is said to ruin their family's luck.

As for whether it is or not, no one knows.

But no married girl can live at home for a long time.

Unless the husband is a burden.

Liu Shiyun naturally knows the truth.

In order not to involve siblings in the family.

She couldn't.

However, Zhang Xu disagreed. He slapped the table with his big hand: "I said you would stay in my house for a while. Now who in the whole mountain city doesn't know that my family is rich? What would I become if you lived in a cottage? ”

"But...... But others will gossip! Liu Shiyun said meekly.

Zhang Xu's temper has not changed at all.

It's still as grumpy as ever.

Protect the lower legs.

"I know who dares." Zhang Xu was very angry when he heard this.

Seeing this, Li Chao hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xu and said, "Zhang Xu, our brothers and sisters are rarely together today, so don't lose your temper." We know you're the richest right now, but you can't lose your temper easily! ”
