Reborn Petty Citizen

Zhang's father was very messy. From the moment he was invited to Zhang Ze's wedding and was informed that Zhang Ze's other half was a man, his whole world began to go wrong.

Due to lack of time to be present at the outset, he arrived in Switzerland as a directly invited relative.After landing, he met Zhang's mother first, and the divorced couple sat around the table again, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Zhang's mother accepted Zhang Ze's marriage to Du Xingzhi, and naturally forgot whether Zhang's father was married. uninformed.Just one word out of the mouth made Zhang's father choked up.

But since the divorce, he has always felt that he owed his ex-wife and children, and his dissatisfaction was hard to express. Seeing Zhang's mother beaming happily and endlessly planning the details of the wedding, Zhang's father hesitated to speak several times, but he didn't have the courage to speak at this moment. raise objections.

This worries him to death, Zhang Fuhe never thought that his son would become gay one day.In fact, he only knew a general meaning of the word homosexuality, and if he really asked him to break it down and explain it in detail, the impression deeply rooted in his heart must be bad.But the natural attitude of other people around him made him a little uncertain about his own cognition.After hesitating for a few days, he was dragged through the wedding in a daze. After Zhang Ze and Du Xingzhi left for their honeymoon and he returned to China, Zhang's father suddenly remembered that he could consult other people.

He first found an acquaintance, and after drinking for three rounds, he hesitated and asked, "Well, I went to a wedding some time ago."

"Huh?" My friend is a civil servant who works at [-]:[-] a.m. every day, and he speaks as calmly as water. "What's wrong? Something wrong with the gift money?"

"..." Zhang's father held the chopsticks, his voice was difficult, "It has nothing to do with gift money, that... have you ever attended a wedding where two men got married?"

The other party's chopsticks paused, and slowly turned his head to stare at Zhang's father with a little disbelief: "...you attended two men's weddings separately? Or together?"

"Together." Father Zhang said with certainty, "Two men get married, but there is no bride."

The friend slowly put down the wine glass, held his chin in his hands and thought for a moment, and said with certainty: "You must have read it wrong."

"I know both grooms." Father Zhang dismissed the other party's question with certainty, and answered seriously, "I must have read it right."

"Well..." The other party didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject after a moment of silence, "Let's have dinner, since we are your friends, then I won't talk about it."

Father Zhang heard the subtext in his words. He was a little disappointed, but he still persisted in asking: "Sure enough, this is abnormal, right? The attitudes of the relatives and friends present on the wedding day are all taken for granted. I feel that something is wrong but I have never dared to explain."

But the other party became interested: "Whose family is this? The family style is so open? If my son finds a man to marry and makes me die, I have to break his legs and lock him up to find a woman to have a child. Your friend's house You can really see it, tell me who it is, and I promise not to say it outside."

Zhang's father was originally a little dizzy because he got a definite answer, but the next moment he was hit in the head by the other party's one-off.yes!Why didn't he expect that this time, men can't have children, Zhang Ze and Du Xingzhi get married, wouldn't they be the last ones!

Seeing his pale face after being shocked, my friend was stunned, pinched the wine glass and stared at him for a while, then shrank and covered his chest with a look of horror: "What's going on, I'm just talking about it, what are you doing?" Such a big reaction? Are you testing me, I don't like men!"

Father Zhang rolled his eyes at him, stared at the table melancholy and began to daze.

He is a traditional person. A farmer who grew up in a mountain village still has some patriarchal thoughts in his bones, or he would not have insisted on having a second child when he was too poor to afford food.But because he usually doesn't care enough about Zhang Ze and Zhang Ti, before this incident, he had little idea about his "incense".On the day of Zhang Ze's wedding, he was just staring at Du Xingzhi and kept worrying about whether he was a man.If possible, he really wanted to jump out and stop it.But seeing his daughter being indifferent to him, his ex-wife being polite and alienated to him, and the only son with a calm and friendly attitude, he really didn't want to push him further and further away.

He hadn't been motivated at work for several days, and his mind was frequently distracted in meetings. When Jinsui Group was about to expand its production line, his state made many people puzzled.

After breaking up with his partner, Zhang's father set up his own business, because he handed over the ownership of the old brand to the other party, and he got a larger share of the property. He took away the money, and quickly established a large grain and oil supermarket in Shenzhen after that.Relying on the former relationship network in the industry and some big customers who followed, Jinsui Grain and Oil soon established a firm foothold in Shenzhen.

China is developing steadily, with an increasing population and increasing consumption power.The dedication to ingredients is beyond the imagination of many foreign friends.In the few years at the end of the [-]th century, Zhang's father's business was unprecedentedly good. He even opened several large chain grain and oil supermarkets, and his income was considered to be able to stand upright among businessmen.At that time, he felt that he had made some achievements, so he hoped to reunite with Zhang's mother. After asking friends in the industry to inquire about Zhang's mother's current situation, he found out in despair that his ex-wife's net worth was about a few dozen or even more than his own. Hundreds of times.

The blown self-esteem turned into mud. Compared with the other luxury clothing brand that has opened all over the country and even made a name overseas, Jinsui Group is really too small and insignificant.Zhang's father, who wanted to keep it like this, felt that he had failed too much as a man, and he didn't want his future children to despise him after comparing his parents' achievements, so he began to consolidate funds to recruit troops and buy horses to make group changes.

No matter how big something like a grain, oil, rice and noodle supermarket is made, it cannot escape the fact that it is just a second-hand dealer.The price difference is earned from first-hand import and second-hand export of goods, but the market has already established a profit margin that other traders have tacitly understood. Is it possible that Zhang's father can sell the same thing more expensive?Impossible, the short board of Erdao dealers is here, the competition is huge, the price advantage is small, and the number of competitors is increasing exponentially every year.Selling things requires no technology at all. With funds in hand, you can even spread your industry all over the country overnight.

The sense of crisis that Zhang's father was mobilized by his wife and children made him quickly determine the future direction with the group's right-hand men. Jinsui wanted to develop its own grain and oil brand.

The near future is the critical period when the oil mill in Guangdong is about to be put into operation. Jinsui is about to release the first batch of soybean oil. Zhang's father has learned Zhang Ze's business model and contacted an advertising company to brainwash Jinsui oil.The main words health and green will become the group's future publicity direction.Of course, this direction was also chosen by Zhang Ze for him. For more than ten years, he has been focusing on promoting a selling point. Sooner or later, Jinsui will associate his concept of health and green with the brand.Various food safety accidents are not obvious enough now, and when the issue of various genetically modified synthetic oils comes to the fore in a few years, Jinsui will definitely go further than other similar companies.

Entering October, the rice farms in the north are about to enter the peak harvest season. Apart from grain and oil, Zhang's father also tried to contact a high-quality grain producing area, intending to use the other party's new rice this year as the first call to launch the golden ear bagged rice .In today's grain and oil market, especially in big cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai, it is absolutely impossible for residents to buy new rice in those years.The industry does not publicize the problem of old rice becoming white, but anyone who is knowledgeable knows that the stock of rice grain usually lasts for one to four years. When the price of rice is low, a large amount of goods are stockpiled, or they are stored in warehouses when the price of rice is low. This is a tug-of-war between Erdao traffickers and rice grain production areas every year.After threshing, rice will quickly enter the aging period due to oxidation, and the strong aroma and soft taste of new rice will be taken away by this destructive oxidation.Unless the quality of rice has reached a certain level, it is absolutely impossible for old rice to taste like new rice.

Consumers are only fooled by the existing knowledge, rice and noodles are not delicious, so they spend high prices to buy some so-called "Thai fragrant rice" and "cat tooth rice", but they don't know that the annual output of Thai rice is not enough for local people to eat , where is enough bag by bag to produce abroad?The rice smells fragrant and tangy, but it still tastes tasteless. No matter how conscientious the manufacturers are, they just add some new rice to the old rice, and sell the old rice by relying on the aroma of good rice.

This time, Father Zhang is going to launch a brand that only sells new rice.

But of course he will not talk about the "unique new rice" promotion. It is not a good thing to offend his peers in the industry, and peace is the most important thing in business.But he must distinguish his own brand from similar brands in the market, so that people can think of the fragrance of this brand at the first time when they mention Haomi.

The future of "Yu Sui Pearl" is set in this way. The grains of the new rice variety are round and round, and the color is translucent without a trace of white impurities, which is really beautiful.Although this kind of roundness is slightly oval, it is quite different from the thick shape in the middle of ordinary rice. At first glance, the grains are indeed lovely like clear pearls.Zhang's father has begun to gradually understand how easy the high-end market is, just like Zhang's mother dares to sell thousands of clothes when two pieces of fabric are put together. There are far more rich people in China and the world than imagined today. .Father Zhang wanted to take a different path, so he first adjusted the market positioning of Jinsui, and differentiated the original mid-end market and the brand Jinsui, while the independent high-end brand took the "jade" brand. Spike" the name.

There are too many high-end brands in the grain and oil market to choose from. High-priced rice, flour, rice noodles, soybean oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, and even seasonings can be divided into many different regions. With the rise of the trend of eating foreign dishes, there is a lot to be done about some convenient ingredients such as curry soup.

He is groping in it, and he has encountered a lot of ups and downs and thorns on the road to success, and every time he saves himself from danger, he deepens his confidence in himself.

He began to get used to calmly thinking about problems, not only in his career, but also in life.

Troubled by this difficult problem, Zhang's father had trouble sleeping and eating for several days, and the bags under his eyes almost hung on his lips.The employees in the group speculated that he might have encountered a problem, but everything in the company was operating as usual, and Zhang's father seldom revealed his private life to the outside world, so no one understood what he was troubled by.

Zhang's father is approaching fifty now, and he has entered old age in one step.But he doesn't look old because of the regular exercise he's been doing since his youth.Although there is still a bit of rustic temperament, but the strong body and broad shoulders are unspeakably tall after putting on a suit.In addition, he has a serious taste in his daily seriousness, and an older man who is rich and single and does not make gossip can be regarded as a bit of a "president".Oh, don't expect to be handsome, it's purely tall and rich.This is an old president.

But this is enough to attract a lot of crazy bees and butterflies. The formation of the market economy has gradually created a new class concept, and everyone's equality has begun to be distorted in a certain sense.What about the old president?The tall, handsome and rich president is just a fantasy in a nympho novel to many people. A successful career requires a long enough accumulation of business. Those who can own this kind of career are definitely not without a little bit of experience.The CEOs that the public can see are basically wrinkled and brown spots on their faces. Compared with them, Zhang's father at least has good facial features.

The girls at the front desk and the secretarial office were the fastest to be replaced by Jinsui Group. Father Zhang couldn't understand such distorted values. He was almost 50 years old. Are these young and beautiful girls brains squeezed by the door?Rushing to marry an old man? !

But now it seems that popularity has become a good thing.

Zhang's father decided to remarry.

He started calling Zhang's mother, trying to get her to remarry him.

Zhang's mother is currently having a hot fight with Li Changming. Li Changming doesn't know which medicine he took wrongly. After the wedding, he has been making noise every day and wants to get married.Zhang's mother hasn't decided whether she wants to be with him or not, and Li Changming's mention of marriage bothers her very much.

But Zhang's father came to add to the confusion, talking about the old relationship between the two people, from the beginning of the meeting to the eve of divorce, the years that Zhang's father said the two walked together always made Zhang's mother subconsciously start to recall Some unpleasant memories.For example, in Liyu Village, he was bullied all the time, for example, when he was poor, he was separated from his husband’s family and mother-in-law. Zhang’s father was definitely a person who had no winks emotionally. After calling several times, she continued to make persistent calls. Zhang's mother finally couldn't stand it and told Li Changming about it.

This is terrible, Li Changming is so angry, there is no sign of whether his marriage proposal will be successful, and the ex-husband over there is starting to poach someone? !Li Changming made an appointment with Zhang's father with a phone call. The two had a face-to-face conversation, and they didn't know what they said. In the end, Zhang's father left dejectedly.

After all, Zhang Ze was worried about his father. After learning about this incident, he was a little helpless because of his mother's inhumanity, so he went to see Zhang's father.

Father Zhang asked him helplessly: "Xiao Ze, tell me the truth, did Dad do poorly when he was in the village?"

Zhang Ze blinked, vaguely understanding Li Changming's strategy.He didn't know how to answer his father's question, in fact he wanted to nod affirmatively very much.Zhang Ze's memory of the man who didn't dare to stand out when his family was being bullied and would only smoke silently was blurred, and he couldn't connect with the middle-aged and elegant man in front of him.But every time he recalls those clips, Zhang Ze still can't help but feel helpless.

Not wanting to deceive his father against his will to give his father the illusion that his mother still had intentions for him, Zhang Ze remained silent.

His silence made Zhang's father sad, those past events that he was unwilling to recall or even selectively forgotten, in fact, he knew that what he did was wrong.He just didn't want to admit this fact, and didn't want to admit how much his previous weakness had hurt his family.

"I'm sorry." Zhang's father apologized for the first time. The three words made Zhang Ze a little panicked. He waved his hands again and again: "It's not that far, Dad, you don't owe us anything."

Zhang's father shook his head and sighed softly: "Birth and health care are not something that can be achieved after birth. I was also obsessed with ghosts at that time, and I was only thinking about being a human being and keeping a good relationship with your uncle. I should really care about it." My family members ignored me. I didn’t do my duty to take good care of you.”

Zhang Ze blinked, unable to speak.

"You and Du Xingzhi's marriage, I wanted to object at first. What do two men look like together? You also know that you have to go abroad to get a marriage certificate, and you must also understand that our China is not yet enlightened enough that you two can be together in a fair way. You are good with him because you have nothing to do!" Father Zhang tapped the table, and finally expressed his long-term hidden worries, but after thinking about it, he slowed down his expression: "But you Uncle Li is right, adults You have to pay the price for the choices you made. You have grown up and have your own career. Dad believes that you can have your own considerations. Me too. Since I chose to divorce your mother in the past, I have no right to pester you now. She let her choose me. Daddy is a man, although he is stubborn, he is not unreasonable. Your mother does not agree to remarry, she has her own life, and I also bless her. "

"Dad..." Zhang Ze called him worriedly.

Father Zhang glanced at him, and frowned: "Why? What do you think I'm going to do? If she doesn't marry me, will it be possible that you don't recognize me? Your mother is also stubborn. We weren't a family who didn't enter the house at the beginning. It's her loss if she doesn't look back! Are you worried that I'm sad or something?"

"But..." Zhang's father thought for a while, and couldn't help leaning closer to Zhang Ze, and asked with a little expectation: "Is it Du Xingzhi? You don't choose someone else? There are so many good girls in the world, why do you I just picked a man! Men can’t have children! If you don’t have children, I’ll be dead!”

"Eh..." Zhang Ze frowned in distress, "Dad, isn't there still my sister... My sister will also get married and have children..."

Zhang's father left the beginning, in his opinion, sons and daughters are different after all, but it hurts too much to say this.

"Then why don't you remarry and have another child?" Zhang Ze suddenly felt that he was really smart, "I heard that some powerful old men can have children until they are 70 years old. Dad, your conditions are not bad now. Remarry and have a child. Wouldn't there be incense?"

Father Zhang lowered his head and did not answer Zhang Ze's words.He also thought about whether to find another woman to live as a partner in the past, but at this age, he has really lost that passion in his heart.Except for Zhang's mother who came along the way, he couldn't think of anyone else who could live without any barriers between him.Friends once persuaded him to go on a blind date. Those young and beautiful girls who were only in their twenties were enthusiastic and generous, and seemed to not mind the age difference with him. But when he was with these people, Father Zhang always felt a little less in his heart. taste.

After talking with Zhang Ze, his mood became even more depressed, and the enthusiastic response to the launch of Jinsui Oil did not make him happy until later.A few friends finally found out that something was wrong with this person, and Zhang's father is still a good brother who talks about everything in daily life.

People kept calling him to ask if apart from his physical condition, Father Zhang was helpless and sad at the same time, and also lacked someone to confide in, so he invited his best brother out to fish together.

This brother is also strange, such a talented student who has stayed abroad, but resolutely returned to China in the early days of opening up.He was in the machine tool business, and he couldn't get along with Zhang's father. The two met by chance. The other party also had a failed marriage, and he felt that he owed his ex-wife and children a lot. This is considered a common topic. .

Zhang's father trusted him, and sometimes he would bring up difficult business problems for everyone to discuss together, but this time he couldn't open his mouth.

The other party guessed something, and asked with uncertainty: "Did something happen to your two children?"

Zhang's father blinked and stared at the float on the water: "Some time ago something happened in the United States, and my girl worked at the World Trade Center. After the news came out, I called and couldn't find her. At that time, it was like the sky was falling. I always thought, I I have lived my whole life until now, my children are not around, and my wife is divorced and remarried, what is the plan?"

These words resonated so much, after the other party expressed his concern for Zhang Ti, he also sighed: "Life, I don't know until now that I don't cherish some things when I get them, and it's regrettable to want to get them back after I lose them." Too late."

Father Zhang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled lightly: "Yes, so this time, in order not to lose my son, I can only give up my grandson."

"What do you mean?"

"My son doesn't like women and wants to be with a man." Father Zhang threw out the words lightly. Seeing the other person's expression stiff, he chuckled, "Scared, right? I was scared too, but there's nothing I can do about it , everyone agrees with their matter, I dare not speak. As long as I speak, I will definitely become an enemy in his heart."

The other party was dumbfounded for a moment, and also thought of Zhang's father's embarrassing past and present status, and patted him on the shoulder with a sigh: "Why are you sad? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Humans, living in just a few decades, looking forward to this Hope that is too much desire. How does it affect you if you have a grandson? You also said that your son was pushed into the water by your younger brother’s children, and it was a life that was recovered. God is good to you, at least Did not take your son's life away."

Zhang's father shook his head: "I'm sorry for him. If it were now, I would have to put my younger brother's one in the water to half-death. At that time, I thought about the family, but pushed the real family away. gone."

The other party is deeply touched, they always subconsciously ignore the people who are closer to please the mediocre existence, which is actually a kind of dissatisfaction in communication.Obviously I already have such a good family, but I still yearn for more relatives, and even give up my original family for those more relatives.Isn't it because you are confident that those family members who cherish you will not leave?But in fact, who in this world cannot live without whom?Wait until the other party's heart turns cold and turns around before trying to restore it, even if it is really broken and reunited, the cracks will never be erased.

Compared with what they lost, Zhang Ze finding a boyfriend is a bit rare, but it is not shocking after all.After the other party expressed his surprise, he didn't get entangled in it anymore. After a while of silence, he suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said a little uncertainly: "What you said to me just now...why do I feel something is wrong?"

"Huh?" Father Zhang didn't know why.

"You said that your son's tone was very calm when he was looking for a boyfriend..." The other party was a little unsure that Zhang's father really didn't focus on this kind of place, and became more and more surprised, "Why do I feel that you seem to be more sad that your son didn't Can't you hold your grandson?"

Zhang's father thought for a while, and was also a little strange: "Yes, I also found out what you said." Although he was a little dazed when he attended Zhang Ze's wedding, his head was at least calm.On the contrary, it was only after realizing that I might have to say goodbye to my unborn grandson that I couldn't sit still and started to worry.Probably because he has no concept of homosexuality, he has much less disgust and anger about it than ordinary people.

The other party was speechless for a moment, and then dropped a huge bomb on Zhang's father: "If this is the case, why do you say that you are going to lose your grandson? He is with a man, and it is not a ligation. It is always possible to have a child... ..."

Zhang's father blinked, but didn't turn the corner: "My son is not that kind of person. He must be determined to go to the end when he says who he is with. You let her be with women...impossible, impossible."

"No!" The friend patted his fishing rod anxiously, "Do you know the boss of Wanli Electronics, Chen Bai? He is the boss who married a Fujian woman and started a company with her father-in-law's money. Let me tell you, her wife just doesn't know how to do it." How could he dare to go outside to find a woman? Then he discussed with his wife and found a woman to be a surrogate. Do you know what surrogacy is?"

Father Zhang shook his head blankly.

"It's just to find a woman who doesn't matter at all, give her money not to sleep with her, let her get an injection to conceive your child, and when the child falls to the ground, you will bring it back. It has nothing to do with her from now on."

"..." This really opened the door to a new world for Zhang's father. He stared at his serious friend in surprise. After thinking about it carefully, he found that this industrial chain was really likely to exist. He immediately thought in admiration, The vision of those who have stayed abroad is different.

"That, that, then what should the woman do if she comes to the door? If she gave birth, she must be able to enjoy the rights legally, right?"

"You are stupid!" The friend glared at him, "Can you turn the corner with your brain? You wouldn't look for it far away? If you can't do it in China, go to a foreign country. Mixed races are also good-looking. You are so rich, why don't you still look for it?" Can’t find a good candidate? A little more beautiful, with a higher IQ, fairer skin, and taller head, one in a million, there must be someone willing!?”

Father Zhang stared blankly from his friend's face back to the float, his mouth was open and his face was thoughtful, but he was actually being silly.He began to fantasize wildly, imagining a blond foreign woman twisting her hips and holding a fat baby with white skin and naked body. The fat baby looked like a foreigner, but she opened her mouth and spoke fluent Beijing movies.

"!!!" Father Zhang suddenly realized, "Good idea!"

"Silly."

The friend complained unceremoniously.

But Zhang's father couldn't sit still, and immediately jumped up anxiously as if his butt was burned. He stopped fishing and rushed to the fishing ground to find a phone and dial Zhang Ze.

****

Zhang Ze had a helpless look on his face, and Du Xingzhi, who was reading the financial newspaper with Erlang's legs crossed over there, moved his eyes over to look at him from time to time, seeing the expression on the other party's face combined with the vagueness heard on the phone Du Xingzhi frowned.

Zhang Ze hung up the phone with great difficulty, and fell down on the sofa with a face full of lovelessness, laying his pillow on Du Xingzhi's thigh and starting to be dazed.

"What's wrong?" Du Xingzhi looked down at him and stroked his soft hair.Zhang Ze grew his hair a little longer, and Du Xingzhi didn't want others to see it because he was too sexy.The soft hair covered the head is also very sensual to the touch. Zhang Ze, who covers a little of his forehead, sometimes looks as cute as a young and innocent college student, which makes him always feel that his eyes are not enough.

Zhang Ze sighed: "You guessed it right, my dad didn't know where he knew about the surrogacy, so he called me so excitedly, as if he was going to hold his grandson tomorrow."

Du Xingzhi's expression was a bit difficult, and he twitched the corners of his mouth: "Go and replace me, I'm shameless enough to drag you into the water, I can't let you be the last one, right?"

"Your mother." Zhang Ze punched him in the stomach, "I'm still young, so why worry about this kind of problem. When Zhang Ti gives birth to a child, we will take it back and lie to him. My dad won't get along anyway. We live together, and he doesn't even know if we lie to him."

Du Xingzhi frowned seriously, holding Zhang Ze's face and looking at him from top to bottom: "I'm not kidding you, you need a child of your own, I don't mind if you go to be a surrogate. As for me, It doesn't matter to me, I don't like children, and there is no need to continue the blood of the Du family, I will raise your child as my own."

Zhang Ze chuckled, stretched out his arms and pinched his face: "Look at your expression, is it the same as what you said?"

Du Xingzhi didn't speak, but there was grievance in his eyes.

"I really don't need it." Seeing him like this, Zhang Ze felt even more helpless, "I know you agree with me to have a baby, but I'm only in my 20s now, so I don't have to worry about it right now? This kind of problem is completely okay. I won’t worry about it until I’m in my 30s. By then, we’ll be both older and have more energy to take care of our children. Besides, I don’t like the noise of children. My sister will always have a baby. I said adoption It’s not a joke either. Why do you care so much about whether it’s your own? If you want me to say that if I go to an orphanage to hold one, I can raise it as my own. Can blood represent everything? It’s true if you get along well. A biological child is not filial to their parents There are too many, have you not seen enough of the farces in Beijing?"

Du Xingzhi was healed, and he nodded heavily with his lips pursed. Zhang Ze is simply his angel!

Thinking of Zhang Ze's blood being combined with another completely unrelated woman, even with only a cold instrument as a carrier, Du Xingzhi still felt angry that his territory had been violated.Maybe this kind of possessiveness in the second stage of middle school will gradually decrease with the passage of time, but at least for now, it is still difficult for him to accept it.

In return, he would never choose to have offspring with anyone other than Zhang Ze.A child connected by blood is far less important to him than getting along with Zhang Ze without any barriers.

On Zhang's father's side, how to fool him should also be on the agenda.
