Zhang Lan sat on the tram and saw a tricycle parked in the land next to the road not far away. opened his mouth and said, "Then I'll leave the third aunt first." ”

"It's okay, you can go first."

When I got home, I parked the electric car in the yard, and when I saw my mother at the door, Zhang Lan said: "I met my third aunt on the mountain just now, and she will come later." ”

Zhang Lan's mother glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "Your third aunt's house is far away, but the one who burns paper every year is the earliest." ”

"My third aunt said that they would eat at our house at noon. My aunt and aunt, are they coming at noon? Zhang Lan asked casually.

Zhang Lan's mother opened the refrigerator to look at the contents and said, "Come on, your uncle's family will also come over at noon, have a meal together, and talk about the grave repair by the way." ”

"Let's discuss, my uncle and my aunt will come up with a little bit of money, and I will make up for the rest of the difference." Zhang Lan said casually.

"Just your money." Zhang Lan's mother muttered.

Zhang Lan smiled and didn't speak, the matter of repairing the grave is also related to his own family. People live with a face, build their own graves, and they themselves are famous rich people in ten miles and eight villages.

In the end, the families who made it were shared, and the buckles and cables were repaired. In the end, others will not laugh at Uncle Zhang Lan, but will only laugh at Zhang Lan, a rich man, for being too picky.

Fame is a very important thing, but it is not important to say that it is not important. Zhang Lan herself thinks that in the future, her parents will live here in Qingshan Village for at least twenty or thirty years, and they will do things in a more atmospheric manner, and they may play a role when and where.

The first 30 years look at the father and respect the son, and the last 30 years look at the son and respect the father. Parents will be sixty years old, whether anyone will listen to what they say in the village in the future, whether they will be respected or not, or how Zhang Lan will behave in the future.

When it was close to noon, Zhang Lan's aunts arrived at Zhang Lan's house, Zhang Lan and her mother were cooking in the house together, and several aunts were chatting outside.

Zhang Lan's original intention was not to make a staple food, just make a few dishes. Unexpectedly, not only Zhang Lan's mother disagreed, but his aunts also disagreed after knowing Zhang Lan's plan.

Aunt Zhang Lan said very clearly, they are all from her own family, so there is no need to be so polite. Buy a few cold dishes and cook a pot of stew.

Zhang Lan felt that it was not like that, so she started cooking at noon. His mother was preparing stew, and Zhang Lan was preparing other stir-fried dishes in the kitchen.

When it was nearly twelve o'clock, Uncle Zhang Lan also came, Zhang Lan looked at the time and said to her mother: "Let's start serving food outside, this button bowl is fine." ”

Eight cold, eight hot and sixteen dishes, and a seaweed, shrimp skin, tofu and egg drop soup, and finally put the finished stewed vegetables into a small basin, and set up a table full of them.

When she started eating, her sister-in-law Zhang Aili said, "Why did you fry so much, you can't eat it." ”

"Not much, not much, there are so many of us, and we can't finish these dishes." Zhang Lan's mother said with a smile.

sat down at the table and started eating, Uncle Zhang Lan likes to drink, and Zhang Lan brought him a bottle of wine. Aunt Zhang Lan said after seeing it: "Big brother, you drink less, when you are older, you can drink less and drink less." ”

Zhang Dajiang raised the paper cup in his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, I now drink at most this glass of wine for a meal, usually half a glass." ”

Speaking of repairing the grave, Zhang Lan's aunts had no opinions. Zhang Lan's aunt Zhang Aimei opened her mouth and said: "I have no opinion on the matter of repairing the grave, I will carry the money if I should carry the money, and I will take the things when I should take them, big brother, you can just watch the sea and do it." ”

Zhang Dajiang spoke obviously with a hint of drunkenness after drinking, and said with a smile: "Repairing the grave is actually nothing, the main thing is to find someone to repair it with an excavator on a good day, I am going to report the full set to the one who sells coffins in our village, and his excavator has everything, we just need to pay for it." Now I'm thinking about erecting a monument after I've finished building the tomb, what do you think? ”

"In the capital, this place can also be used now, since the tomb was moved, all the families are peaceful. It's not much to fix it. The second aunt Zhang Aiju said.

After discussing the specific repair proposals, we finally talked about the money. Zhang Lan discussed with her parents in advance, and then said: "You can just take some of the money you want about the aunt's money, if you don't set up a monument, I won't talk about it." Now the uncle said that the monument should be erected, then I will be responsible for the money for road repair and grave repair, and the money for the monument will be evenly divided. ”

As soon as Zhang Lan spoke, Uncle Zhang Dajiang did not answer. Sister-in-law Zhang Aili said on the side: "Zhang Lan, what you said is not right, who should take as much as you want, you can't say that you will be allowed to take all the money, what is it to say it." ”

Aunt Zhang Aimei also said: "Your sister-in-law is right, Zhang Lan shouldn't have taken all the money, the older generation is here, why don't you pay for this money." ”

Zhang Lan smiled and waved her hand and said, "Auntie, I know what you mean, but this money is not a small amount. If it was less, it would be fine, but this time it will cost almost 200,000, and if it is evenly divided, it will be tens of thousands for a family. It's not easy for you to make money, and it's nothing if I have more money in my hand, and a little more money will have no effect on me. ”

Until everything was decided in the end, and Zhang Lan's aunts didn't say anything. Zhang Dajiang opened his mouth and said: "Then I will go to the sea to find someone in two days to see what we need to prepare." ”

After the meal, Zhang Lan gave Zhang Dajiang the remaining unfinished wine to take away, as well as a box of cigarettes that he didn't finish during the meal. Watching Zhang Dajiang leave on an electric car, Zhang Lan turned around and went back to the house.

Zhang Lan's four aunts were sitting on the sofa chatting with Zhang Lan's mother, and after seeing Zhang Lan enter the house, the eldest aunt Zhang Aimei sighed with a smile and said: "Today, when Zhang Lan said to take money, our eldest brother didn't say a word." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang Aili said: "You don't know that eldest brother, what you say is better than anything, and as soon as you ask him to do something with some money, it is more difficult than doing anything." ”

The third aunt Zhang Aiping said: "It's better for our eldest brother to do something than Zhang Huli, and it's better to shout Zhang Hu than to call him." ”

"He's the boss, and he still has to come forward for something. Usually do something, our big brother is still in it. Aunt Zhang Aimei pulled back.

Zhang Lan's mother knocked melon seeds on the side and didn't speak, how did Aunt Zhang Lan complain that Zhang Dajiang's was fine, they were brothers and sisters. There are some things they can say, but Zhang Lan's mother is not easy to answer. And now that Zhang Lan's family is relatively strong, some things are even more difficult to say.

The second aunt Zhang Aiju didn't talk much on the side, and Zhang Lan's sister-in-law seemed to remember something after seeing it, and asked: "Second sister, I heard my second brother say that you should go to live in the winery, and then work as a car washer in the gas station." My second brother said you don't want to go, what's going on? ”

Aunt Zhang Lan also spoke: "Yes, Aiju, I heard from the sea two days ago that you won't go, because what?" ”

The author's family is rural, and his parents are now old, so last year they said that they would not be allowed to farm, but it worked for a year. This year, the farmland contracted to others is coming back.

Then this fall, an acre of peanuts and an acre of sweet potatoes at home. And a few acres of corn.

These days, the corn is not yet harvested, and then the peanuts are ripe first.

My parents' peanut fields were all in the corners, and there was no road for cars to get into. And then it's all up to me to carry it from the inside out for the past two days, I haven't done this kind of work for many years, and now my shoulders are sore, and my waist is almost no longer my own.

The latest update is to take the time to write a little more, plus to save the manuscript to revise the new book, please forgive me.
