In the evening, Zhang Youping drove the cattle and carried a load of firewood on his shoulder. The pole and the dustpan creak in friction. It's like a musical melody fluttering on a country road.

"There is a level, there is a level. Zhang Jiujin's father, Zhang Qianlong, walked quickly to Zhang Youping's side.

"Wow. (The sound of shouting the cow to stop)" Zhang Youping pulled the cow rope and stopped, "Brother Qianlong, what are you doing?"

"Isn't it okay for you to let your cubs go? How can you raise the cubs at home? Can you raise them for a lifetime? By the way, you can go to the brigade and ask, you should be able to have a second child in this situation. Zhang Qianlong made trouble for a long time, and he didn't cut to the chase, but it seemed that he was so concerned about Zhang Youping's affairs.

"The first child in our family is a male baby, can we still approve the second child? Besides, one in the family is enough for me to toss, and I dare to have a second child?" Zhang Youping shook his head. If the cub was not in this situation now, Zhang Youping might still have some ideas, now that the cub is like this, he will give up the idea of having a second child.

"Alas, too. One cub of yours can be tossed more than a few cubs of other people's families. It's hard for the two of you. Zhang Qianlong said sympathetically.

"Brother Qianlong, do you have something?" Zhang Youping naturally knew that Zhang Qianlong would not come over to care about him for no reason. There must be something else.

"That's right. Isn't my house ready to start construction tomorrow, can you help me with a few jobs?"

"That's for sure. Building a house is a big deal. We brothers don't have to be so polite to each other. Shout and I'll be over. Zhang Youping readily agreed. In those years, it was not yet time to talk about money. Families help each other, and all they need to do is entertain and eat. To build a house, only basic material costs are required. Of course, the master must be paid. Because the master worker is basically a professional person. For example, carpenters, plasterers. The people who help are all sidecops.

The reason why Zhang Qianlong deliberately shouted Zhang Youping on the road naturally had his purpose, but he saw a look of embarrassment on his face, and then said, "Youping, I know that I shouldn't say hurtful things." But my family is building a house, and it's a lifelong thing. So I'll just say some things directly, don't be surprised. ”

"Brother Qianlong, just say it. Zhang Youping almost knew what Zhang Qianlong wanted to say. There was a trace of anger in his heart, but he could only suppress it.

"During the period when my family was building a house, can you tell Yuhua not to come to our new house?" He knew that Zhang Youping's face would definitely be ugly.

As Zhang Qianlong expected, as soon as his words fell, Zhang Youping's face was immediately pale, and the green tendons of his hands on the flat shoulder were bulging, and after a while, Zhang Youping said: "Qianlong, I won't go to your new house." You put twenty-four hearts. ”

Zhang Youping's title to Zhang Qianlong was missing the word "brother", and after finishing speaking, he drove the cow away without looking back.

Zhang Qianlong looked at Zhang Youping's back with some embarrassment, "Alas, what is all this?"

Zhang Youping returned home, and the attentive Liu Qiaoye soon found that Zhang Youping's face was not very good.

"Youping, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Liu Qiaoye asked the man with concern, the man is a piece of the family, if this sky falls, the home will be over.

"It's fine. By the way, tomorrow I'm going to Qianlong's house to help. Their family is about to build a new house. You let Zhaohua stay at home, don't go over. I'm afraid that others won't be welcome. Zhang Youping tried to suppress his emotions, he didn't want the whole family to bear this unpleasantness. After finishing speaking, Zhang Youping glanced at the cub who was sitting on the threshold with a compass and constantly fiddling.

Liu Qiaoye is a shrewd woman, and when she heard the man's words, she immediately knew that the man had listened to others outside.

"It's not like we don't have anything to eat. Why do you want to go to other people's houses? Whether they build a new house or build a dragon palace, there is nothing to see. Don't say that others are not happy that our treasure cub goes, even if it is eight sedan chairs to invite, our treasure cub will not go. Bao cub, is my mother right?"

Zhang Zhaohua felt that the compass in his hand was a very high-end toy, and in the little fart of Mei Ziao, this toy was definitely the only one for scorpion. After hearing my mother's words, I didn't raise my head, "Mother, I want to go to herd cattle tomorrow." ”

"Such a smart cub is always bored at home, and he wants to herd cattle, so let him herd cattle. Liu Qiaoye looked at the man with an inquiring gaze.

Zhang Youping thought about it, he had to go out to help during this period of time, and his mother-in-law had to do all the work at home alone, and he really had no time to herd cattle.

"Cub, can you guarantee that you won't go to the pond to bathe?" asked Zhang Youping.

"I promise not to bathe in the pond. Zhang Zhaohua said excitedly.

Zhang Zhaohua's drowsiness is still a lot, and he begins to be sleepy at night, the voice of the mute's fourteen-inch black-and-white TV is turned on, and the blue sky six must cure "good teeth, good appetite, good body, eat Ma Ma fragrant" advertising sound, Zhang Zhaohua has no attraction anymore. Although after knowing this commercial, there will be a TV series. Zhang Zhaohua sat on the threshold for a while and fell asleep.

Liu Qiaoye picked up the cub and prepared to put it on the bed, "Youping, our treasure cub has been dozing so much recently." I don't know what's going on. If we have time, we will take him to the hospital for a check-up, what do you think?"

"Yes. It's a pity that I can't buy a TV again. I'm also going to save some money and buy a TV set before the Chinese New Year. Zhang Youping said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter if you watch TV or not. Cubs aren't more important than televisions?" Liu Qiaoye complained.

"That's not what I meant. Now the cub is not waiting to see the cub in the village, I am afraid that he will be angry if he wants to go to someone else's house to watch TV, so I want to buy a TV set and put it at home, so that the cub will not have to go to other people's houses to watch TV in the future. But it's important for the cub to see a doctor. When the gang was finished, I went around town to see if there was a place to do a side job. Transfer some money back. With the TV, the cub has something to do. Zhang Youping rubbed his hands, he had all the strength, but he couldn't find a way to make money.

As soon as Zhang Zhaohua fell asleep, the old Taoist priest appeared in front of him.

"Copy the Book of Scripture tonight. You must carefully copy the words on it, and no one is allowed to make a mistake. If you make a mistake, you have to hit the board. The old Taoist priest struck the bamboo board on the table very harshly.

"Smack!"
