Reborn Petty Citizen
Chapter 50
Zhang's father sent things to the old store, and he was very happy when he returned.After seeing each other for a while, the daughter has become more beautiful than before, and the son has become more handsome, neither of them are as stingy as they used to be in the village.Sure enough, it is a good thing for the children to follow their mother to the city.
As he thought of this, a subtle sadness flashed in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed again.
When getting out of the car, the helper Dade in the store came up to him, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Boss, that man is here again."
Zhang's father's expression turned ugly for a moment, and he took a few steps quickly, and he saw his younger brother Zhang Lingzhi squatting in front of the store smoking a cigarette.Wearing a brand-new army green cotton suit, black leather shoes, leather gloves, and exhaling white mist with thin smoke between fingertips, it is not unremarkable.
Zhang's father didn't tell Zhang Ze, but he knew in his heart why he couldn't open the fried bun stand that was still profitable.In fact, old customers gradually came back to visit his business after the sanitation was improved, but the good times didn’t last long. One morning, he suddenly saw another bike with a baking pan riding in front of his stall in the vegetable market. Fried bun stand.
The new fried bun stall owners are Zhang Lingzhi and Luo Hui.The two men lowered the price confidently, and with the fact that the items were almost the same, the source of customers was naturally snatched away.A taciturn person like Zhang's father is also embarrassed to tear his face face to face. If he hadn't been robbed of his job, he would not have to give up his business to work for others.
Also because of his brother's behavior, he completely lost his thoughts on these relatives who had placed high hopes on him. Now when he thinks of himself who did not hesitate to divorce his wife for the sake of his brother's family, he can't help but feel that it is a misfortune.If he had the current consciousness at the beginning, wouldn't the hard life during this period of time not find him?
But life is overwhelmed, and it is too late to regret the decision made.
But this did not affect his hatred of his younger brother's family.If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be divorced, my family wouldn't fall apart, and my wife and children wouldn't leave me. Maybe it's a blessing for the family to live peacefully at the fried bun stall.But because of the greed and viciousness of his younger brother's family, his family was torn to pieces, and now he can still appear in front of him so confidently.
Father Zhang knew that his cowardice and indecision had given them wrong hints, so he couldn't help but sneered at this moment, and went up to them.
When Zhang Lingzhi saw his brother coming, he immediately threw away his cigarette and stood up to greet him: "Brother! We are brothers after all, you don't have to go to this level, do you?!"
Father Zhang glanced at him, frowned, swallowed the unbearable feeling in his heart, and said forcefully, "If the account is not settled, the list will not be withdrawn."
Zhang Lingzhi's steamed stuffed bun stall uses a lot of fine flour and seasonings every day. After discovering by a coincidence that Zhang's father was running this kind of business, Luo Hui sent Zhang Lingzhi to Zhang's father to buy goods and make a note. He didn't want to settle the payment, and wanted to use Zhang's father's land premium to guarantee their long-term employment with the affection of his relatives.
But they all misunderstood Zhang's father's attitude and thought he was the man who would divorce his wife for them.But everyone knows that Zhang's family is actually the same in essence.They are indecisive and indecisive, but once they make up their minds, the most important thing will prevail over all ideas, and they will not budge.Now Zhang's father hates his younger brother's family, how could he give them half a penny more?There is a blacklist in the grain and oil market. Merchants who sell the same goods have a list of merchants who are in debt and do not pay back. As long as the debt is not paid, other merchants in the mall will never supply any goods to this merchant. of.This also indirectly avoids the possibility of being violated by Bawang merchants. All merchants in the mall firmly implement this old custom.
Luo Hui and Zhang Lingzhi originally thought they had taken advantage of it, but as the year approached and the business was at its best, the grain and oil market stopped supplying them!The wholesale market is the place with the cheapest price. If the supply point is replaced by an ordinary grain and oil store, the cost will more than double.Selling fried buns is a small business, and if the raw materials are twice as expensive, the profit will be much less.In addition, their steamed stuffed buns are not as authentic as Zhang's mother's family used to make, so many customers who have been fed up with their appetites have naturally lost. If you think about it seriously, their current income is definitely not as good as that of those who used to set up stalls here. Zhang's mother's family.
I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma and begged several wholesale merchants. Seeing their faces in the dark, a merchant who was annoyed and told them the reason.Luo Hui and Zhang Lingzhi were immediately dumbfounded. They never expected that Zhang's father would do such a thing. During this time, they visited the door every day to ask the teacher.
The noisy voice of Zhang Lingzhi following behind him was too annoying, Zhang's father ignored him and walked into the store, directly picked up the mall internal phone on the table and dialed a number: "Security Department, #25 on the first floor of my place, someone is causing trouble, Come here and help me."
Zhang Lingzhi's chatter stopped immediately, and he stared at his brother with disbelief in his eyes: "I'm here to make trouble?!"
Father Zhang opened the drawer, took out a stack of copies of the white slips of receipts inside, and slapped them on the table: "When will the payment be settled?"
Zhang Lingzhi opened his mouth, feeling very unfamiliar with this brother: "I said wait! We don't have so much money now, and we will pay it back when we have money! If you don't give us a way out like this, how can we have the money to pay it back?" you?"
Father Zhang sighed, and looked up at his younger brother with disappointment in his eyes: "Whether it makes money or not, I also opened a fried bun stall. Ling Zhi, when did you become like this?"
Just as Zhang Lingzhi was about to speak, he met Zhang's father's eyes. He took a step back involuntarily, feeling a huge emptiness in his heart.Father Zhang's inexplicable question came without beginning or end, but it hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
A sudden panic surrounded him, and everything in front of him became extremely strange.He didn't know how to answer Zhang's father's question. He and his familiar elder brother ate rice steamed from the same pot in the same family for more than 20 years. Once upon a time, they also played with mud intimately.But when everything changed, he couldn't remember clearly.
Zhang Lingzhi fled in despair, and when he returned home, he was still a little bit lost, and ran into Luo Hui who came out of the house with a washbasin.
Luo Hui was splashed with water and was furious: "What are you doing! Don't you look at the road when you walk?"
Zhang Lingzhi came back to his senses, apologized again and again, and casually told what happened to him when he met the iron plate today, with a frustrated expression on his face: "I think the boss is not the same as before."
Luo Hui's complexion was cloudy and uncertain, and she stood there with a basin in her hand to hold back her anger.What exactly is going on?Originally, everything was planned well, but it seems that since the boss and his family left Liyu Village, everything has become unpredictable.She thought she was a master at manipulating people's hearts, but she repeatedly stumbled in front of her family, first Zhang Ze, then Zhang Ti, then sister-in-law, and now even her elder brother couldn't control her.
But after much deliberation, she couldn't even think of a way to deal with it.After the old lady lost her face that time, she refused to come to Huaixing to support them, her son still had to go to school in Huaixing, the eldest family was divorced, and she had nothing to restrain her. The old and the young are the ones who wear the shoes.
Luo Hui was burning with anxiety, hated and angry, couldn't help stamping her feet, and choked out a sentence in every possible way: "Tomorrow, I will settle the bill with the boss! I want money, I want money, and I am afraid that he will spend his life if he wants to spend it." !"
The final payment is expensive, but the business has to be done. Under the balance of the two, Luo Hui can only take out the money that she didn't want to give.
She couldn't help cursing a few words viciously at the other party's unconscionable fate, she turned her head and inadvertently glanced at her husband, thinking that his face would also have the same anger as her own, but unexpectedly his expression was complicated. Very, frowning and looking at himself resentfully.
Luo Hui's heart shuddered, she shut her mouth suddenly, and cursed herself for not being able to hold her breath.
*********
Only a few days until New Years Eve.
Wearing cheap new clothes and carrying an annual gift for the elders, Zhang's mother boarded the bus to Changting County with her two children.
Du Xingzhi escorted the three of them to the station, put the luggage into the compartment attentively, and checked again: "Auntie, do you really need me to see you off?"
Mother Zhang waved her hand and smiled heartily: "It's not that troublesome, it's only a few hours away. Changting County is closer to Huaixing than Zhang Ze's county town, and there are not many things. I will pack a car after I get off the bus." Just go to the village by car. But you, you are going back to Beijing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so it would be too troublesome to send it all the way."
Du Xingzhi had no choice but to take a step back, took out the motion sickness medicine in his pocket and handed it to Zhang Ze with water: "It's boring in the car, take the medicine and sleep, be careful of motion sickness."
Seeing that Zhang Ze sent it down obediently, he left contentedly.
Saying goodbye to him through the glass, Mother Zhang stared at Du Xingzhi in a daze in the car, and suddenly giggled, leaning back and forth non-stop: "This is not a brother, this has to be an old lady! Son, you really have Blessing, people with such indifferent demeanor dote on you so much, oh... how could this be born by me?"
Zhang Ti also lay on the back of the chair and stared at Zhang Ze with a smile: "Yeah, if I didn't know that you two are good brothers, I would have thought someone's wife was sending her husband on a long trip, and the instructions were so detailed."
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang's mother didn't understand the cuteness in her words, so she scolded her with a smile, and the next second she thought about the role positioning, and covered her mouth and laughed again.
Zhang Ze's ears were reddened by the two of them, and he turned his eyes away angrily.What the two women were talking about was completely nonsense, such as old mothers and wives, it was all nonsense.Let's just say it, and he really guessed half of his thoughts.But Zhang Ze was ashamed of this, and felt that Du Xingzhi sincerely regarded him as a good brother. It was extremely dirty for him to imagine that others had unclean thoughts towards him.
As he thought this way, the original pink earlobes slowly faded away.Shackles himself in the quagmire of shame and cannot break free.
Staring at the time display above the bus, he was momentarily at a loss.Having been good brothers with Du Xingzhi for two lifetimes, he knows each other well, and he never thought of this in his previous life.But why has it become like this now?Is it true that men become bad when they have money?Now that he has money, he thinks more, so what about the future?Will it become more and more shameless?Will one day...
Zhang Ze can't imagine that one day he will become the kind of person he hates the most.
Seeing that his face was different, Zhang Mu and Zhang Ti didn't know what was wrong, but they also understood that Zhang Ze would sometimes get into trouble by himself, so the two stopped talking, looked at each other and closed their mouths.
Du Xingzhi watched the bus leave. It took nearly two hours from Huaixing to Changting County.The highways in Huaixing City are not developed enough, and cars have to take the provincial and national highways. The surrounding area of Changting County is mountainous, and the mountain roads are winding. He can't help but worry about Zhang Ze's safety.He also calculated his return date in his mind. He went to Changting County today to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Beijing until around the start of school.Du Xingzhi couldn't help sighing when he thought that he would go back to Beijing tomorrow to face the Zhang family's relatives.In fact, who is not like that?The Zhang family is just chaotic and low-end. The Zhang family's big house is the real undercurrent.
Uncle and aunt are okay, aunt...
Holding the key and thinking for a moment, he shook his head, got out of the station and got back into the car, ready to back up and leave, when his gaze inadvertently swept across the rearview mirror, he felt a pause in his heart——
Dou Shunjuan is actually here.
Dou Shunjuan, wearing the uniform of the law enforcement brigade, walked at the forefront of a line, followed by seven or eight law enforcement members, who were going one by one to the snack stalls along the road of Qingsu station.Several stall owners failed to leave in time, but did not want to pay the fine. They formed a circle around the law enforcement team. The two forces started a tug-of-war, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Du Xingzhi couldn't help being puzzled.He had known about Dou Shunjuan's existence early in the morning, and that she was able to join the Law Enforcement Team of the Industry and Commerce Bureau as the team leader, and it all depended on Du Rusong to entrust her with the relationship.Because Du Rusong's backing is very strong, a small law enforcement team is naturally very face-saving. Normally, Dou Shunjuan bears the name of a team leader and accepts them filially, but she never personally participates in such thankless actions.
How could she come out against the cold wind and offend people now? Dou Shunjuan, who is full of great principles, is always afraid to avoid it.
But he just had a second thought, the inherent dislike of Dou Shunjuan made him unwilling to get involved too much with her.The current mother has completely broken with these people, and in a few years, he himself will have the ability to restrain these people, and he will repay the humiliation they gave him and his mother in the past ten times and a hundred times.
With a final glance at the confronting crowd, Du Xingzhi looked away expressionlessly, shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator to leave.
The confronting crowd has become commotion, Dou Shunjuan is holding back a burst of anger, this group of oil-stained thugs are so ignorant, bumping into her happened to be at a low point of mood, so she waved and shouted: "Smash!!!"
The team members froze, looked at each other for a while and dared not make a move, but heard Dou Shunjuan scolded sharply: "Are you dead? The command can't move you!?"
The team members didn't dare to offend their boss, so a sycophant who used to take the lead came out, tentatively reached out and lifted the seasoning jar on the booth beside him and threw it on the ground!
The broken sound gave Dou Shunjuan a sense of destruction, and the unhappiness she had felt for so long was finally reduced.With the first one, there will be the second one, the team members started to destroy it one after another, the stall owners were only frightened for a short time, and then the despair of being cornered came to their hearts, and they began to fight back...
It was inevitable for the confrontation crowd to change from beating objects to physical conflicts. Some vendors started throwing things like eggs and noodles at the team members, but more of them were thrown at Dou Shunjuan, who gave orders.The crowd was so excited that Dou Shunjuan, who thought that no one dared to resist the law enforcement, was stunned, but regretted that it was too late. The vendors shouted loudly, and a large crowd swarmed over. Even those vendors who had already run away turned their cars to this side for reinforcements.
The brigade returned home in dismay, and everyone returned to the bureau in a state of embarrassment. After being watched for a while, Dou Shunjuan went to take a shower and change clothes alone in advance.
The team members surrounded the office angrily, while taking off the egg shells stuck to their bodies, they complained to Dou Shunjuan one by one: "I don't know what kind of brains, she can smash it or not, she really thinks she is a character." ?”
"That's right, it caused us to be beaten up, and we don't know how to continue to manage that area in the future."
"It is said that we are a cronies team, I think it is the most unlucky to be true."
"This kind of person who relies on relationships as a leader and doesn't restrain himself is really annoying..."
"What can we do? Who told us that we don't have the ability to flatter her. If we also go to borrow a lot of money, we don't have to suffer from her mental retardation all day long."
After taking a shower, Dou Shunjuan came back in a hurry and wanted to have a meeting with the team members to apologize. After all, this incident was caused by her. If it weren't for her impulsive command, today's conflict would not have become so intense.
But as soon as she leaned on the doorknob, she heard the words of the team members in the office, and her movements froze for a moment.She has always understood that it is not her own ability that makes her a captain, so in order to gain a foothold in the institute, she desperately promotes her cronies.All the members of the first team were selected by her from other teams. These players manage the areas with the most oil and water, and the income of each moonlight gray is many times higher than the salary.She always thought that these people would respect her with gratitude, but today she discovered that these "confidants" who respected her in front of others actually despised her secretly.
Dou Shunjuan only felt chills all over her body, and she felt a sense of crisis since her relationship with Du Rusong was no longer so close.Her name never appeared in the internal staff commendation that must be held every month in the bureau. For the first time, the leader of the bureau who never cared about her attendance began to name and criticize her for not being able to work... These cold receptions are actually in other places. The bureau is just the duty of a team leader, but to Dou Shunjuan, it appeared abruptly.
She knew that it was Du Rusong who didn't manage the relationship well enough, but now Du Rusong is no longer as obedient to her as he was before the divorce.
Du Rusong asked her to temporarily suspend her daughter Du Yuan from school and send her back to her natal family, and never brought up the topic of finding someone among the distant relatives of the Du family to transfer her household registration.Du Yuan has been the baby of her parents since she was born. Except for being ridiculed by Du Xingzhi occasionally, Du Rusong and Dou Shunjuan never wink at her materially.Now that I have returned to Dou Shunjuan's hometown, I have suddenly changed to the environment of a small county town. There is no place to go shopping, and I can't even find the restaurants I am used to.The folk customs in the county are closed, and the relatives there are all distant relatives before the death of Dou's parents. As we all know, Du Yuan's daughter came here suddenly, so naturally everyone was surprised to watch the excitement.
When watching the excitement, it was inevitable to ask who her parents were. Du Yuan even had a child in her arms, and the father of the child was also asked repeatedly. How dare Du Yuan disclose information about Du Rusong?Her own child also has no father, and every time Du Yuan evaded her with vague words, the way those relatives looked at her gradually changed.
Don't dare to say what my father does, and come back with a child who has no father. He doesn't go to school at such a young age.
After Du Yuan was excluded, she cried and called Dou Shunjuan to complain, but Dou Shunjuan couldn't help it. Du Rusong issued a death order, saying that Du Yuan must not return to the place where his eyes and ears are clear until his crisis is over.Now she does not dare to disobey Du Rusong's intentions at all, and finally understands that Zhang Su was embarrassed by the cold and violent treatment, and now she is helpless. In Huaixing, Du Rusong is her only backer, even if this backer also collapses , Dou Shunjuan did not dare to imagine what kind of situation her life would fall into.
Thinking of this, Dou Shunjuan's throat sweetened, and she tried her best to suppress the chill that welled up in her heart.
Now she is not like before, she can command and criticize others unscrupulously.The first team is her arm, her elite, if all these people are torn apart from her, then she will be like an empty leader in the brigade, without any prestige at all.
Dou Shunjuan's face slowly pulled a distorted smile to calm down the anger, and the smile became more sincere and gentle.
Then she slightly twisted the lock handle in her hand, and the whispers in the room suddenly disappeared, and all the familiar faces with smiles were in front of her eyes.
"Go take a shower. I'm really sorry today. I didn't think carefully and made everyone wronged." There was an apology in the smile, and there was no sign of the struggle just now. "Well, everyone take a step after work. I set a table at the Huaixing Restaurant, and everyone will have a good meal, and I, the leader, will be a crime for everyone."
The team members were very considerate and declined, saying that she had also worked hard, but this time, Dou Shunjuan did not go down the slope, and insisted on a treat, and the atmosphere in the office was immediately harmonious.
However, this happiness didn't last long, and the team leader of the second team rushed in from the open door, panting and caressing his chest, he raised his finger and pointed to the door: "Team, captain! Go out and see Watch the TV in the hall! Chengjiang TV’s noon news, we, our team are on TV!!”
Dou Shunjuan's complexion turned into a disastrous defeat, it was really a leak in the house and it rained all night.
*********
The New Year in the countryside is very lively.The towns along the way were decorated with lights and festoons, and children ran around the streets with firecrackers. The new couplets and the new blessing characters were bright red. Zhang Ti looked away, glanced at his sleeping brother in the back seat, and asked Zhang's mother in a low voice: "Mom, How about grandpa and grandma?"
Zhang Ze and his brother stayed at Grandpa's house for a while when they were very young, but they seldom went back after remembering the incident, and gradually the impression faded away.During the period when Zhang Ze was cut and admitted to the hospital, Zhang Ti was sent to live with his aunt in Changting County for a few days, but he did not return to the village to see his grandparents. After that, he was picked up in a hurry, and the family came to Huaixing.
Zhang's mother recalled her past life and sighed: "Your grandfather is honest, and grandma is not bad, but she is a bit patriarchal."
Zhang Ti pouted: "It's all crazy." It's okay for men to talk about it, but women are also patriarchal, making her look like she is not a woman or was born by a woman, and she looks down on herself.
Zhang's mother glanced at her and frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, grandpa and grandma still hugged you for a few days."
The old people dote on the children of the next generation, and they are only harsh on these children.To be honest, Zhang's mother's life is not bad. The hardest person in the family should be Zhang Ti's aunt Du Wanhong. Although Zhang's mother is not as pampered as her younger brother Du Baogang, she still does heavy and tiring work. Less.
Thinking of her sister, Zhang's mother sighed a little.This is really a hard-working woman. She has been the main labor force at home since she was a child. She has to take care of everything from chopping firewood, carrying water, planting rice seedlings, and herding cattle. When she was young, her mother had a bad temper, and she went home to vent when she was wronged. After beating the child, Du Wanhong was covered in red marks all over her body.But when I was young, how could I know how to resist?The sentence "no eating at night" can make the children who are frightened by starvation learn to swallow their anger, never show their grievances, and let their mothers calm down before arguing in a low voice.At that time, Grandma Zhang Ze probably also calmed down, and she didn't insist on canceling the evening meal.Anyway, I don't have to wake up hungry from my dream in the middle of the night.
In fact, how many people in that era did not come here like this?The rest of the family in the village beat their children, and some were starved to death. All the brothers and sisters of the Du family survived, and none of them was given away. It can be regarded as Zhang Ze's grandparents did their best.
Du Wanhong married early, at the age of 16, she talked about her, and at the age of 17, she married a farmer in the same village. Sooner or later, he will be promoted to take care of things. If he goes to take care of the granary, it will be enough for the family to eat and drink.Du Wanhong married because of this, and gave birth to a fat boy the next year. Originally, life was supposed to be peaceful and beautiful, and the family had enough food and clothing.Unexpectedly, when the child was five years old, Du Wanhong's husband went to plow the fields and never returned home.The next day, they fished out her husband's wet corpse from the paddy field. He smelled of alcohol, his nose was full of mud, he was out of breath, and his heartbeat was gone, so he couldn't be saved.
Du Wanhong became a widow with a child, and suddenly lost her support.Fortunately, my parents are also from the same village, and I have been living with my parents since then to receive some assistance.
During the period, someone said that they wanted to marry her, but the condition was to send the child away. Du Wanhong refused to agree no matter what, and insisted on dragging the child until he was seven or eight years old alone. As a result, the child had a bad life. Later, I had a high fever and got scorched, and my body was thin and thin, so I didn't recover.
This is basically equivalent to the loss of nearly half of the labor force. Some in the village can't stand it anymore, so they suggest that the child be thrown into the mountains to fend for himself.But Du Wanhong let out a sigh of relief, she doesn't!She wanted to pull the child up!
For this matter, Zhang Ze's grandmother had numerous disputes with her, and the lame and dumb child was also bullied in the village. Du Wanhong simply took the child and left home to the county town, carrying bricks and dishes to wash the toilet, A woman insisted on it.
Zhang's mother remembered the last time she saw her eldest sister. She lived in the dormitory of the leather shoe factory workers. His legs are a bit short, but his intelligence is not a problem, and he is also motivated in reading.
Pity.
She thought so at that time, and later she was busy coming to Huaixing, busy with the whole family, busy with divorce, setting up a factory and starting a company, and the relatives at home were left behind. Now that she thinks about it, she only thinks that if she can, It's best to give this sister a hand.
Arriving at the county town in such a wild way of thinking, Zhang's mother took the two children and got on the bus to Xiangli Village, bumping all the way, twisting and turning before arriving at the place.
When she got out of the car, she was stunned. There was an unusually familiar man standing at the head of the village. He was tall and slightly dark-skinned. He was very handsome with bright eyes and a straight nose.The man was leaning on a black Santana, and when he saw Zhang's mother and Zhang Ze's siblings, he raised his hand twice.
Du Baogang? !
Mother Zhang suddenly smiled.The little brother came to pick them up at the entrance of the village?
Du Bao just came up to take away the luggage from Zhang's mother, and said in his mouth: "Sister, you are finally home. Mom received a letter and asked me to come here at three o'clock today to wait for you. The food at home is ready. , go back and rest. This is Ze and Ti, right?"
Mother Zhang touched his head, and a loving light flashed in her eyes.Zhang Ze and Zhang Ti smiled and said hello, Du Baogang stared at Zhang Ze and couldn't help admiring: "Oh, it's really different after going to the city. Look at this fair-skinned, beautiful-looking one. He's from the city. That's what a big star looks like. Ti is also good-looking, elegant, and 'temperament'!" He took out two red envelopes from his pocket, stuffed one in each, and led a group of people to the car, opened the trunk and put them in. luggage.
Zhang's mother stared at the car, the price of Santana is not cheap now.She was a little surprised. Didn't see her brother in a car for a few years?The smile was extremely gratifying: "Okay, you, our old Du's family has a talented person, and the boy can drive four wheels!"
Du Baogang stroked the back of his head, feeling joyful in his heart. He scanned the clothes of his sister and two nieces and nieces, and judged the financial strength of each other in his mind.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Ze's sister and brother did not wear famous brands, but chose plain upper bodies. Zhang's mother did not wear any jewelry, even took off her watch, but the permed hair could not be pulled back, and other things such as mobile phones and purses They all stayed in Huaixing, carrying only a small satin bag, Zhang Ti carried an embroidered schoolbag, and the three of them brought a suitcase and some change of clothes.
But the change in their temperament cannot be concealed. The three sentences of Zhang's mother brought out domineering and hearty. Although Zhang Ti is not very good-looking, but her eyes are soft and confident, her smile is decent and natural, and her posture does not flinch. Among the three, Zhang Ze is even more outstanding, his gray clothes do not feel cheap at all, his skin is white and his moles are bright red, his peach blossom eyes seem to have a faint sparkle, and his body is also slender and long. The background of the surrounding mountain villages is extremely inconsistent, and it is a luminous body.The eyes of the surrounding villagers have been attracted intentionally or unintentionally, and within a few minutes, there are a bunch of people around who dare not come forward to say hello.
It is absolutely impossible for such three people to live in poverty, and it is even impossible to struggle for food and clothing. The economy must be good.
His smile was subconsciously sincere.He has been doing business in Shenzhen these years, and he dare not say anything else, but his vision has developed a bit.He is most afraid of going back home and being surrounded by a bunch of poor relatives. Now that Zhang Ze's family looks like they won't be rich and wealthy, they certainly won't ask grandpa to sue grandma to entrust him with various errands. .
He didn't hide it, instead of ambiguously hiding the rest of his sister, but answered directly: "A few years ago, I escaped from school and went to Shenzhen to sell leather bags to make some money, and I just bought the car. What about you, sister?"
Although Zhang's mother didn't intend to reveal her wealth, she didn't have the idea of pretending to be poor, so she replied with a light smile, "I take a small class in Huaixing, but I'm not as capable as you, and I can earn enough money to eat."
This was not far from Du Baogang's expectation, so he didn't try any more and invited his sister and nephew to get in the car.Santana drove from Shenzhen to Huaixing, and it took a lot of time on the road. This is the first small four-wheeler in the village, and the eyes of the onlookers around are very envious.
With a proud smile on Du Baogang's lips, he slowly started the car and made a detour as slow as possible to go home from another road with more village houses. Along the way, the villagers stared at the car in envy and amazement and guessed who it belonged to. In the car, after seeing Du Baogang's whispers from the open window again, Du Baogang accepted it with a smile.
If it wasn't for these things, he would have come back by train long ago.
As he thought of this, a subtle sadness flashed in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed again.
When getting out of the car, the helper Dade in the store came up to him, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Boss, that man is here again."
Zhang's father's expression turned ugly for a moment, and he took a few steps quickly, and he saw his younger brother Zhang Lingzhi squatting in front of the store smoking a cigarette.Wearing a brand-new army green cotton suit, black leather shoes, leather gloves, and exhaling white mist with thin smoke between fingertips, it is not unremarkable.
Zhang's father didn't tell Zhang Ze, but he knew in his heart why he couldn't open the fried bun stand that was still profitable.In fact, old customers gradually came back to visit his business after the sanitation was improved, but the good times didn’t last long. One morning, he suddenly saw another bike with a baking pan riding in front of his stall in the vegetable market. Fried bun stand.
The new fried bun stall owners are Zhang Lingzhi and Luo Hui.The two men lowered the price confidently, and with the fact that the items were almost the same, the source of customers was naturally snatched away.A taciturn person like Zhang's father is also embarrassed to tear his face face to face. If he hadn't been robbed of his job, he would not have to give up his business to work for others.
Also because of his brother's behavior, he completely lost his thoughts on these relatives who had placed high hopes on him. Now when he thinks of himself who did not hesitate to divorce his wife for the sake of his brother's family, he can't help but feel that it is a misfortune.If he had the current consciousness at the beginning, wouldn't the hard life during this period of time not find him?
But life is overwhelmed, and it is too late to regret the decision made.
But this did not affect his hatred of his younger brother's family.If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be divorced, my family wouldn't fall apart, and my wife and children wouldn't leave me. Maybe it's a blessing for the family to live peacefully at the fried bun stall.But because of the greed and viciousness of his younger brother's family, his family was torn to pieces, and now he can still appear in front of him so confidently.
Father Zhang knew that his cowardice and indecision had given them wrong hints, so he couldn't help but sneered at this moment, and went up to them.
When Zhang Lingzhi saw his brother coming, he immediately threw away his cigarette and stood up to greet him: "Brother! We are brothers after all, you don't have to go to this level, do you?!"
Father Zhang glanced at him, frowned, swallowed the unbearable feeling in his heart, and said forcefully, "If the account is not settled, the list will not be withdrawn."
Zhang Lingzhi's steamed stuffed bun stall uses a lot of fine flour and seasonings every day. After discovering by a coincidence that Zhang's father was running this kind of business, Luo Hui sent Zhang Lingzhi to Zhang's father to buy goods and make a note. He didn't want to settle the payment, and wanted to use Zhang's father's land premium to guarantee their long-term employment with the affection of his relatives.
But they all misunderstood Zhang's father's attitude and thought he was the man who would divorce his wife for them.But everyone knows that Zhang's family is actually the same in essence.They are indecisive and indecisive, but once they make up their minds, the most important thing will prevail over all ideas, and they will not budge.Now Zhang's father hates his younger brother's family, how could he give them half a penny more?There is a blacklist in the grain and oil market. Merchants who sell the same goods have a list of merchants who are in debt and do not pay back. As long as the debt is not paid, other merchants in the mall will never supply any goods to this merchant. of.This also indirectly avoids the possibility of being violated by Bawang merchants. All merchants in the mall firmly implement this old custom.
Luo Hui and Zhang Lingzhi originally thought they had taken advantage of it, but as the year approached and the business was at its best, the grain and oil market stopped supplying them!The wholesale market is the place with the cheapest price. If the supply point is replaced by an ordinary grain and oil store, the cost will more than double.Selling fried buns is a small business, and if the raw materials are twice as expensive, the profit will be much less.In addition, their steamed stuffed buns are not as authentic as Zhang's mother's family used to make, so many customers who have been fed up with their appetites have naturally lost. If you think about it seriously, their current income is definitely not as good as that of those who used to set up stalls here. Zhang's mother's family.
I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma and begged several wholesale merchants. Seeing their faces in the dark, a merchant who was annoyed and told them the reason.Luo Hui and Zhang Lingzhi were immediately dumbfounded. They never expected that Zhang's father would do such a thing. During this time, they visited the door every day to ask the teacher.
The noisy voice of Zhang Lingzhi following behind him was too annoying, Zhang's father ignored him and walked into the store, directly picked up the mall internal phone on the table and dialed a number: "Security Department, #25 on the first floor of my place, someone is causing trouble, Come here and help me."
Zhang Lingzhi's chatter stopped immediately, and he stared at his brother with disbelief in his eyes: "I'm here to make trouble?!"
Father Zhang opened the drawer, took out a stack of copies of the white slips of receipts inside, and slapped them on the table: "When will the payment be settled?"
Zhang Lingzhi opened his mouth, feeling very unfamiliar with this brother: "I said wait! We don't have so much money now, and we will pay it back when we have money! If you don't give us a way out like this, how can we have the money to pay it back?" you?"
Father Zhang sighed, and looked up at his younger brother with disappointment in his eyes: "Whether it makes money or not, I also opened a fried bun stall. Ling Zhi, when did you become like this?"
Just as Zhang Lingzhi was about to speak, he met Zhang's father's eyes. He took a step back involuntarily, feeling a huge emptiness in his heart.Father Zhang's inexplicable question came without beginning or end, but it hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
A sudden panic surrounded him, and everything in front of him became extremely strange.He didn't know how to answer Zhang's father's question. He and his familiar elder brother ate rice steamed from the same pot in the same family for more than 20 years. Once upon a time, they also played with mud intimately.But when everything changed, he couldn't remember clearly.
Zhang Lingzhi fled in despair, and when he returned home, he was still a little bit lost, and ran into Luo Hui who came out of the house with a washbasin.
Luo Hui was splashed with water and was furious: "What are you doing! Don't you look at the road when you walk?"
Zhang Lingzhi came back to his senses, apologized again and again, and casually told what happened to him when he met the iron plate today, with a frustrated expression on his face: "I think the boss is not the same as before."
Luo Hui's complexion was cloudy and uncertain, and she stood there with a basin in her hand to hold back her anger.What exactly is going on?Originally, everything was planned well, but it seems that since the boss and his family left Liyu Village, everything has become unpredictable.She thought she was a master at manipulating people's hearts, but she repeatedly stumbled in front of her family, first Zhang Ze, then Zhang Ti, then sister-in-law, and now even her elder brother couldn't control her.
But after much deliberation, she couldn't even think of a way to deal with it.After the old lady lost her face that time, she refused to come to Huaixing to support them, her son still had to go to school in Huaixing, the eldest family was divorced, and she had nothing to restrain her. The old and the young are the ones who wear the shoes.
Luo Hui was burning with anxiety, hated and angry, couldn't help stamping her feet, and choked out a sentence in every possible way: "Tomorrow, I will settle the bill with the boss! I want money, I want money, and I am afraid that he will spend his life if he wants to spend it." !"
The final payment is expensive, but the business has to be done. Under the balance of the two, Luo Hui can only take out the money that she didn't want to give.
She couldn't help cursing a few words viciously at the other party's unconscionable fate, she turned her head and inadvertently glanced at her husband, thinking that his face would also have the same anger as her own, but unexpectedly his expression was complicated. Very, frowning and looking at himself resentfully.
Luo Hui's heart shuddered, she shut her mouth suddenly, and cursed herself for not being able to hold her breath.
*********
Only a few days until New Years Eve.
Wearing cheap new clothes and carrying an annual gift for the elders, Zhang's mother boarded the bus to Changting County with her two children.
Du Xingzhi escorted the three of them to the station, put the luggage into the compartment attentively, and checked again: "Auntie, do you really need me to see you off?"
Mother Zhang waved her hand and smiled heartily: "It's not that troublesome, it's only a few hours away. Changting County is closer to Huaixing than Zhang Ze's county town, and there are not many things. I will pack a car after I get off the bus." Just go to the village by car. But you, you are going back to Beijing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so it would be too troublesome to send it all the way."
Du Xingzhi had no choice but to take a step back, took out the motion sickness medicine in his pocket and handed it to Zhang Ze with water: "It's boring in the car, take the medicine and sleep, be careful of motion sickness."
Seeing that Zhang Ze sent it down obediently, he left contentedly.
Saying goodbye to him through the glass, Mother Zhang stared at Du Xingzhi in a daze in the car, and suddenly giggled, leaning back and forth non-stop: "This is not a brother, this has to be an old lady! Son, you really have Blessing, people with such indifferent demeanor dote on you so much, oh... how could this be born by me?"
Zhang Ti also lay on the back of the chair and stared at Zhang Ze with a smile: "Yeah, if I didn't know that you two are good brothers, I would have thought someone's wife was sending her husband on a long trip, and the instructions were so detailed."
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang's mother didn't understand the cuteness in her words, so she scolded her with a smile, and the next second she thought about the role positioning, and covered her mouth and laughed again.
Zhang Ze's ears were reddened by the two of them, and he turned his eyes away angrily.What the two women were talking about was completely nonsense, such as old mothers and wives, it was all nonsense.Let's just say it, and he really guessed half of his thoughts.But Zhang Ze was ashamed of this, and felt that Du Xingzhi sincerely regarded him as a good brother. It was extremely dirty for him to imagine that others had unclean thoughts towards him.
As he thought this way, the original pink earlobes slowly faded away.Shackles himself in the quagmire of shame and cannot break free.
Staring at the time display above the bus, he was momentarily at a loss.Having been good brothers with Du Xingzhi for two lifetimes, he knows each other well, and he never thought of this in his previous life.But why has it become like this now?Is it true that men become bad when they have money?Now that he has money, he thinks more, so what about the future?Will it become more and more shameless?Will one day...
Zhang Ze can't imagine that one day he will become the kind of person he hates the most.
Seeing that his face was different, Zhang Mu and Zhang Ti didn't know what was wrong, but they also understood that Zhang Ze would sometimes get into trouble by himself, so the two stopped talking, looked at each other and closed their mouths.
Du Xingzhi watched the bus leave. It took nearly two hours from Huaixing to Changting County.The highways in Huaixing City are not developed enough, and cars have to take the provincial and national highways. The surrounding area of Changting County is mountainous, and the mountain roads are winding. He can't help but worry about Zhang Ze's safety.He also calculated his return date in his mind. He went to Changting County today to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Beijing until around the start of school.Du Xingzhi couldn't help sighing when he thought that he would go back to Beijing tomorrow to face the Zhang family's relatives.In fact, who is not like that?The Zhang family is just chaotic and low-end. The Zhang family's big house is the real undercurrent.
Uncle and aunt are okay, aunt...
Holding the key and thinking for a moment, he shook his head, got out of the station and got back into the car, ready to back up and leave, when his gaze inadvertently swept across the rearview mirror, he felt a pause in his heart——
Dou Shunjuan is actually here.
Dou Shunjuan, wearing the uniform of the law enforcement brigade, walked at the forefront of a line, followed by seven or eight law enforcement members, who were going one by one to the snack stalls along the road of Qingsu station.Several stall owners failed to leave in time, but did not want to pay the fine. They formed a circle around the law enforcement team. The two forces started a tug-of-war, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Du Xingzhi couldn't help being puzzled.He had known about Dou Shunjuan's existence early in the morning, and that she was able to join the Law Enforcement Team of the Industry and Commerce Bureau as the team leader, and it all depended on Du Rusong to entrust her with the relationship.Because Du Rusong's backing is very strong, a small law enforcement team is naturally very face-saving. Normally, Dou Shunjuan bears the name of a team leader and accepts them filially, but she never personally participates in such thankless actions.
How could she come out against the cold wind and offend people now? Dou Shunjuan, who is full of great principles, is always afraid to avoid it.
But he just had a second thought, the inherent dislike of Dou Shunjuan made him unwilling to get involved too much with her.The current mother has completely broken with these people, and in a few years, he himself will have the ability to restrain these people, and he will repay the humiliation they gave him and his mother in the past ten times and a hundred times.
With a final glance at the confronting crowd, Du Xingzhi looked away expressionlessly, shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator to leave.
The confronting crowd has become commotion, Dou Shunjuan is holding back a burst of anger, this group of oil-stained thugs are so ignorant, bumping into her happened to be at a low point of mood, so she waved and shouted: "Smash!!!"
The team members froze, looked at each other for a while and dared not make a move, but heard Dou Shunjuan scolded sharply: "Are you dead? The command can't move you!?"
The team members didn't dare to offend their boss, so a sycophant who used to take the lead came out, tentatively reached out and lifted the seasoning jar on the booth beside him and threw it on the ground!
The broken sound gave Dou Shunjuan a sense of destruction, and the unhappiness she had felt for so long was finally reduced.With the first one, there will be the second one, the team members started to destroy it one after another, the stall owners were only frightened for a short time, and then the despair of being cornered came to their hearts, and they began to fight back...
It was inevitable for the confrontation crowd to change from beating objects to physical conflicts. Some vendors started throwing things like eggs and noodles at the team members, but more of them were thrown at Dou Shunjuan, who gave orders.The crowd was so excited that Dou Shunjuan, who thought that no one dared to resist the law enforcement, was stunned, but regretted that it was too late. The vendors shouted loudly, and a large crowd swarmed over. Even those vendors who had already run away turned their cars to this side for reinforcements.
The brigade returned home in dismay, and everyone returned to the bureau in a state of embarrassment. After being watched for a while, Dou Shunjuan went to take a shower and change clothes alone in advance.
The team members surrounded the office angrily, while taking off the egg shells stuck to their bodies, they complained to Dou Shunjuan one by one: "I don't know what kind of brains, she can smash it or not, she really thinks she is a character." ?”
"That's right, it caused us to be beaten up, and we don't know how to continue to manage that area in the future."
"It is said that we are a cronies team, I think it is the most unlucky to be true."
"This kind of person who relies on relationships as a leader and doesn't restrain himself is really annoying..."
"What can we do? Who told us that we don't have the ability to flatter her. If we also go to borrow a lot of money, we don't have to suffer from her mental retardation all day long."
After taking a shower, Dou Shunjuan came back in a hurry and wanted to have a meeting with the team members to apologize. After all, this incident was caused by her. If it weren't for her impulsive command, today's conflict would not have become so intense.
But as soon as she leaned on the doorknob, she heard the words of the team members in the office, and her movements froze for a moment.She has always understood that it is not her own ability that makes her a captain, so in order to gain a foothold in the institute, she desperately promotes her cronies.All the members of the first team were selected by her from other teams. These players manage the areas with the most oil and water, and the income of each moonlight gray is many times higher than the salary.She always thought that these people would respect her with gratitude, but today she discovered that these "confidants" who respected her in front of others actually despised her secretly.
Dou Shunjuan only felt chills all over her body, and she felt a sense of crisis since her relationship with Du Rusong was no longer so close.Her name never appeared in the internal staff commendation that must be held every month in the bureau. For the first time, the leader of the bureau who never cared about her attendance began to name and criticize her for not being able to work... These cold receptions are actually in other places. The bureau is just the duty of a team leader, but to Dou Shunjuan, it appeared abruptly.
She knew that it was Du Rusong who didn't manage the relationship well enough, but now Du Rusong is no longer as obedient to her as he was before the divorce.
Du Rusong asked her to temporarily suspend her daughter Du Yuan from school and send her back to her natal family, and never brought up the topic of finding someone among the distant relatives of the Du family to transfer her household registration.Du Yuan has been the baby of her parents since she was born. Except for being ridiculed by Du Xingzhi occasionally, Du Rusong and Dou Shunjuan never wink at her materially.Now that I have returned to Dou Shunjuan's hometown, I have suddenly changed to the environment of a small county town. There is no place to go shopping, and I can't even find the restaurants I am used to.The folk customs in the county are closed, and the relatives there are all distant relatives before the death of Dou's parents. As we all know, Du Yuan's daughter came here suddenly, so naturally everyone was surprised to watch the excitement.
When watching the excitement, it was inevitable to ask who her parents were. Du Yuan even had a child in her arms, and the father of the child was also asked repeatedly. How dare Du Yuan disclose information about Du Rusong?Her own child also has no father, and every time Du Yuan evaded her with vague words, the way those relatives looked at her gradually changed.
Don't dare to say what my father does, and come back with a child who has no father. He doesn't go to school at such a young age.
After Du Yuan was excluded, she cried and called Dou Shunjuan to complain, but Dou Shunjuan couldn't help it. Du Rusong issued a death order, saying that Du Yuan must not return to the place where his eyes and ears are clear until his crisis is over.Now she does not dare to disobey Du Rusong's intentions at all, and finally understands that Zhang Su was embarrassed by the cold and violent treatment, and now she is helpless. In Huaixing, Du Rusong is her only backer, even if this backer also collapses , Dou Shunjuan did not dare to imagine what kind of situation her life would fall into.
Thinking of this, Dou Shunjuan's throat sweetened, and she tried her best to suppress the chill that welled up in her heart.
Now she is not like before, she can command and criticize others unscrupulously.The first team is her arm, her elite, if all these people are torn apart from her, then she will be like an empty leader in the brigade, without any prestige at all.
Dou Shunjuan's face slowly pulled a distorted smile to calm down the anger, and the smile became more sincere and gentle.
Then she slightly twisted the lock handle in her hand, and the whispers in the room suddenly disappeared, and all the familiar faces with smiles were in front of her eyes.
"Go take a shower. I'm really sorry today. I didn't think carefully and made everyone wronged." There was an apology in the smile, and there was no sign of the struggle just now. "Well, everyone take a step after work. I set a table at the Huaixing Restaurant, and everyone will have a good meal, and I, the leader, will be a crime for everyone."
The team members were very considerate and declined, saying that she had also worked hard, but this time, Dou Shunjuan did not go down the slope, and insisted on a treat, and the atmosphere in the office was immediately harmonious.
However, this happiness didn't last long, and the team leader of the second team rushed in from the open door, panting and caressing his chest, he raised his finger and pointed to the door: "Team, captain! Go out and see Watch the TV in the hall! Chengjiang TV’s noon news, we, our team are on TV!!”
Dou Shunjuan's complexion turned into a disastrous defeat, it was really a leak in the house and it rained all night.
*********
The New Year in the countryside is very lively.The towns along the way were decorated with lights and festoons, and children ran around the streets with firecrackers. The new couplets and the new blessing characters were bright red. Zhang Ti looked away, glanced at his sleeping brother in the back seat, and asked Zhang's mother in a low voice: "Mom, How about grandpa and grandma?"
Zhang Ze and his brother stayed at Grandpa's house for a while when they were very young, but they seldom went back after remembering the incident, and gradually the impression faded away.During the period when Zhang Ze was cut and admitted to the hospital, Zhang Ti was sent to live with his aunt in Changting County for a few days, but he did not return to the village to see his grandparents. After that, he was picked up in a hurry, and the family came to Huaixing.
Zhang's mother recalled her past life and sighed: "Your grandfather is honest, and grandma is not bad, but she is a bit patriarchal."
Zhang Ti pouted: "It's all crazy." It's okay for men to talk about it, but women are also patriarchal, making her look like she is not a woman or was born by a woman, and she looks down on herself.
Zhang's mother glanced at her and frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, grandpa and grandma still hugged you for a few days."
The old people dote on the children of the next generation, and they are only harsh on these children.To be honest, Zhang's mother's life is not bad. The hardest person in the family should be Zhang Ti's aunt Du Wanhong. Although Zhang's mother is not as pampered as her younger brother Du Baogang, she still does heavy and tiring work. Less.
Thinking of her sister, Zhang's mother sighed a little.This is really a hard-working woman. She has been the main labor force at home since she was a child. She has to take care of everything from chopping firewood, carrying water, planting rice seedlings, and herding cattle. When she was young, her mother had a bad temper, and she went home to vent when she was wronged. After beating the child, Du Wanhong was covered in red marks all over her body.But when I was young, how could I know how to resist?The sentence "no eating at night" can make the children who are frightened by starvation learn to swallow their anger, never show their grievances, and let their mothers calm down before arguing in a low voice.At that time, Grandma Zhang Ze probably also calmed down, and she didn't insist on canceling the evening meal.Anyway, I don't have to wake up hungry from my dream in the middle of the night.
In fact, how many people in that era did not come here like this?The rest of the family in the village beat their children, and some were starved to death. All the brothers and sisters of the Du family survived, and none of them was given away. It can be regarded as Zhang Ze's grandparents did their best.
Du Wanhong married early, at the age of 16, she talked about her, and at the age of 17, she married a farmer in the same village. Sooner or later, he will be promoted to take care of things. If he goes to take care of the granary, it will be enough for the family to eat and drink.Du Wanhong married because of this, and gave birth to a fat boy the next year. Originally, life was supposed to be peaceful and beautiful, and the family had enough food and clothing.Unexpectedly, when the child was five years old, Du Wanhong's husband went to plow the fields and never returned home.The next day, they fished out her husband's wet corpse from the paddy field. He smelled of alcohol, his nose was full of mud, he was out of breath, and his heartbeat was gone, so he couldn't be saved.
Du Wanhong became a widow with a child, and suddenly lost her support.Fortunately, my parents are also from the same village, and I have been living with my parents since then to receive some assistance.
During the period, someone said that they wanted to marry her, but the condition was to send the child away. Du Wanhong refused to agree no matter what, and insisted on dragging the child until he was seven or eight years old alone. As a result, the child had a bad life. Later, I had a high fever and got scorched, and my body was thin and thin, so I didn't recover.
This is basically equivalent to the loss of nearly half of the labor force. Some in the village can't stand it anymore, so they suggest that the child be thrown into the mountains to fend for himself.But Du Wanhong let out a sigh of relief, she doesn't!She wanted to pull the child up!
For this matter, Zhang Ze's grandmother had numerous disputes with her, and the lame and dumb child was also bullied in the village. Du Wanhong simply took the child and left home to the county town, carrying bricks and dishes to wash the toilet, A woman insisted on it.
Zhang's mother remembered the last time she saw her eldest sister. She lived in the dormitory of the leather shoe factory workers. His legs are a bit short, but his intelligence is not a problem, and he is also motivated in reading.
Pity.
She thought so at that time, and later she was busy coming to Huaixing, busy with the whole family, busy with divorce, setting up a factory and starting a company, and the relatives at home were left behind. Now that she thinks about it, she only thinks that if she can, It's best to give this sister a hand.
Arriving at the county town in such a wild way of thinking, Zhang's mother took the two children and got on the bus to Xiangli Village, bumping all the way, twisting and turning before arriving at the place.
When she got out of the car, she was stunned. There was an unusually familiar man standing at the head of the village. He was tall and slightly dark-skinned. He was very handsome with bright eyes and a straight nose.The man was leaning on a black Santana, and when he saw Zhang's mother and Zhang Ze's siblings, he raised his hand twice.
Du Baogang? !
Mother Zhang suddenly smiled.The little brother came to pick them up at the entrance of the village?
Du Bao just came up to take away the luggage from Zhang's mother, and said in his mouth: "Sister, you are finally home. Mom received a letter and asked me to come here at three o'clock today to wait for you. The food at home is ready. , go back and rest. This is Ze and Ti, right?"
Mother Zhang touched his head, and a loving light flashed in her eyes.Zhang Ze and Zhang Ti smiled and said hello, Du Baogang stared at Zhang Ze and couldn't help admiring: "Oh, it's really different after going to the city. Look at this fair-skinned, beautiful-looking one. He's from the city. That's what a big star looks like. Ti is also good-looking, elegant, and 'temperament'!" He took out two red envelopes from his pocket, stuffed one in each, and led a group of people to the car, opened the trunk and put them in. luggage.
Zhang's mother stared at the car, the price of Santana is not cheap now.She was a little surprised. Didn't see her brother in a car for a few years?The smile was extremely gratifying: "Okay, you, our old Du's family has a talented person, and the boy can drive four wheels!"
Du Baogang stroked the back of his head, feeling joyful in his heart. He scanned the clothes of his sister and two nieces and nieces, and judged the financial strength of each other in his mind.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Ze's sister and brother did not wear famous brands, but chose plain upper bodies. Zhang's mother did not wear any jewelry, even took off her watch, but the permed hair could not be pulled back, and other things such as mobile phones and purses They all stayed in Huaixing, carrying only a small satin bag, Zhang Ti carried an embroidered schoolbag, and the three of them brought a suitcase and some change of clothes.
But the change in their temperament cannot be concealed. The three sentences of Zhang's mother brought out domineering and hearty. Although Zhang Ti is not very good-looking, but her eyes are soft and confident, her smile is decent and natural, and her posture does not flinch. Among the three, Zhang Ze is even more outstanding, his gray clothes do not feel cheap at all, his skin is white and his moles are bright red, his peach blossom eyes seem to have a faint sparkle, and his body is also slender and long. The background of the surrounding mountain villages is extremely inconsistent, and it is a luminous body.The eyes of the surrounding villagers have been attracted intentionally or unintentionally, and within a few minutes, there are a bunch of people around who dare not come forward to say hello.
It is absolutely impossible for such three people to live in poverty, and it is even impossible to struggle for food and clothing. The economy must be good.
His smile was subconsciously sincere.He has been doing business in Shenzhen these years, and he dare not say anything else, but his vision has developed a bit.He is most afraid of going back home and being surrounded by a bunch of poor relatives. Now that Zhang Ze's family looks like they won't be rich and wealthy, they certainly won't ask grandpa to sue grandma to entrust him with various errands. .
He didn't hide it, instead of ambiguously hiding the rest of his sister, but answered directly: "A few years ago, I escaped from school and went to Shenzhen to sell leather bags to make some money, and I just bought the car. What about you, sister?"
Although Zhang's mother didn't intend to reveal her wealth, she didn't have the idea of pretending to be poor, so she replied with a light smile, "I take a small class in Huaixing, but I'm not as capable as you, and I can earn enough money to eat."
This was not far from Du Baogang's expectation, so he didn't try any more and invited his sister and nephew to get in the car.Santana drove from Shenzhen to Huaixing, and it took a lot of time on the road. This is the first small four-wheeler in the village, and the eyes of the onlookers around are very envious.
With a proud smile on Du Baogang's lips, he slowly started the car and made a detour as slow as possible to go home from another road with more village houses. Along the way, the villagers stared at the car in envy and amazement and guessed who it belonged to. In the car, after seeing Du Baogang's whispers from the open window again, Du Baogang accepted it with a smile.
If it wasn't for these things, he would have come back by train long ago.
