Vol 2 Chapter 233:

Zhang Guoqing took his mother to Zhang Meili's house and walked slowly. Remind her from time to time how to remember the road signs. As the two of them were walking on the road, Mother Zhang was slowly distracted.
After a while, she couldn't help but ask him, "Xiao Wu, how much did your old father-in-law spend on the yard? I think it's really cleaned up inside. Your old father-in-law is really willing."
Zhang Guoqing laughed and said, "Mother, why is he just a girl? I heard that Jiaojiao was just born, so he was very happy. I haven't seen the child for so many years, and now I see that she has been wronged for so many years. My heart hurts. He naturally wants to give her the best. He spent eight hundred yuan on this yard. But I figured it out, it is estimated that so much money will be spent on the contents. Except for the furniture, he replaced everything with new ones."
"Lao Zhou’s family probably regretted their intestines. At the beginning, my mother never thought that marrying Jiaojiao would be so good. At that time, she fancy her character and grew up with you. Now it looks like a golden baby. It is more valuable than a golden doll. Mother is a little uneasy, she is afraid that the woman is too strong and you will be wronged in the future."
Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing hugged her and walked slowly forward, "Mother, you should believe in Jiaojiao's character and my vision. What do you think my old wife and mother-in-law treat me?
My old father-in-law treats me as a son, and he has secretly told me who is reliable and who is so? Leave all contacts to me. He also told the other party that we must take good care of the three of us. So you can rest assured that they are not that kind of person. Jiaojiao's temperament follows her father, you know Jiaojiao. "
Mother Zhang smiled slowly, "Xiao Wu, is there a cheaper house in your yard? I think your eldest sister and second sister are not far away from you, so let your second brother buy this one too."
"Well, I think so too. This house is rarely sold. Ask your eldest sister, she should know a lot of well-informed people."
The mother and son stood in front of Zhang Meili's room and knocked on the door. A child ran out of it. Seeing them, they shouted happily, "Mom, grandma and uncle are here."
Zhang Guoqing stepped forward and hugged him, "Ziwen, why didn't your brothers go back to the village to find your uncle?"
Zhang Ziwen put his arms around his neck and said, "All are going to school. Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss you. My mother said that I must wait for you to be busy before coming to our house."
"Uncle is almost busy. When you are on holiday, I will go to Uncle's house to play. Did your mother buy you snacks for you? What do you eat at home?"
"No snacks, my mother said that you will save money when you buy a house. I haven't bought deep-fried dough sticks for a long time in the morning. Yesterday I ate all the seafood you sent over. My dad gave some to my grandfather, and there are many more at home. Uncle, I'm older, I'll come down." After speaking, he slid the ground.
Zhang Guoqing saw his mother had gone to the kitchen to find his sister. He followed his nephew straight into the house, and saw the three brothers doing their homework, and when he saw him coming in, they all yelled.
Zhang Guoqing hurriedly signaled to make them quieter. He stepped forward to touch the mattress on the kang, and then touched the quilt, frowning slightly. After turning around, he relaxed and said with a smile: "You three brothers all slept by themselves? Is it cold at night?"
The third son Zhang Zicong quickly answered, "Uncle, the bottom is hot, the top is cold. My second brother always grabs my quilt."
Zhang Ziwen glared at him, "Uncle, it won't be cold. Our three brothers slept in a warm embrace. You should sit down and rest."
Zhang Guoqing looked at him amusedly, "How did you do this exam? There are rewards for doing well. Report to my uncle."
"I am all one hundred this time, and my second brother only has one hundred. My elder brother hasn't had one hundred for a long time, and they are all over ninety. My dad said that the eldest brother has learned deeply, and then he has to work hard."
Zhang Guoqing took out a stack of money from his pocket and boasted: "Oh, yes, my nephews are really upbeat. My uncle rewards you, and you keep the flowers for yourself. If you still have good grades this semester, I will also reward you. . Not only you but Xizi are the same, so Ziwen don’t push your brother."
After speaking, two yuan per person was stuffed in their pockets. He took another jin of sugar tickets and three food stamps worth one jin to Zhang Ziwen. Seeing his refusal, he said: "You are the boss, this bill will be kept for you. Remember to use it, and it will be invalid after expiration. You can buy sugar and put it at home, and you can eat it if you want. These food coupons can be on the other side of the road. The restaurant buys buns. If someone asks where you came from, you just say your uncle is Zhang Guoqing, and they won’t embarrass you. Understand?"
Zhang Ziwen touched the bill, looked at the two younger brothers looking forward to him, and thought for a while and said: "Let's talk to my mother before we can use it. When my mother agrees, I will take you to eat buns tomorrow morning."
Zhang Guoqing watched them jumping and cheering. He walked out of the room and slowly came to the kitchen. He sighed when he saw the tortilla prepared by his sister.
When Zhang Meili saw her younger brother, she happily went forward and pulled him, "Sit down quickly. Mother explained that Uncle Tianzhou and they are gone. If you sit down for a while, go back and see if he can help. Mother stay here to accompany me. , Our mothers talk."
Zhang Guoqing swallowed it to his lips, and finally thought of the warm house this time, "Sister, how are you preparing for the warm house?"
"Nothing to prepare, wait for next week."
Zhang Guoqing looked around and asked her suspiciously, "Where is your briquettes stove?"
Zhang Meili glared at him, "There is firewood to burn, why buy briquettes? I brought them to the warehouse of the new yard. In the past, there was no way to burn firewood in the corridor. There was no place to put firewood. Now it can be burned on the first floor, and I still buy briquettes. That's it."
"Then what about your supply of tickets for the second half of the year? How much did you divide?" Zhang Guoqing frowned and asked.
Zhang Meili shook his head and said, "I'm all good, not much. It's not enough. It's not enough for the firewood. Do you want a ticket? I will ask who has it later. I will use it first."
Suddenly Zhang Meili widened his eyes and shouted, "No, I just saw you have a lot of briquettes piled up in your house. What do you want to do?"
Zhang Guoqing looked at his mother and laughed, "Mother, you look at the eldest sister. Don't worry, just ask."
"Don't try to make up for me. The eldest sister is rich, just afraid of wasting it." Zhang Meili looked at him suspiciously.
Zhang Guoqing was defeated by her, "Well...I know, you have money. What can't we say about my sisters and brothers. Don't be nervous. Sister, you buy the food for the banquet later, and I will prepare a few for you. Oh, don't get angry, I'll go up the mountain to catch pheasants and hares."
Zhang Guoqing wondered to himself that he could prepare a few plates, think about it and estimate that it is almost enough, and quickly said, "You have to prepare the vegetables yourself. I will come with meat and fish, don't fight with me. I will go up the mountain to catch it by myself, no money. Really. Ask your mother, Daqingshan is our backyard."
The mother and daughter Zhang laughed loudly, "Smelly Xiaowu, you will brag about it. Okay, don't worry about it, the eldest sister has arranged it. Wait until you come home that day."
Zhang Ziwen took the younger brothers and hid far away to watch the movement.
As soon as I heard his mother’s laughter, I brought them in, and everyone came to her with money in his hand, "Mom, my uncle rewarded us, praise me for studying well."
Zhang Guoqing hadn’t waited for her to reach out and hurriedly pulled her back,
Sister, don’t try to discourage the enthusiasm of the children. This is a matter for my nephews and me. Not only them, but Xizi, they have also passed the exam and have rewards. This stays I’m trying to buy snacks for the children. When the holiday is over, if my uncle sees you still keep good grades, I will reward you to play in the provincial cities."
Zhang Meili watched the children jumping up happily, thinking about it and forgetting it, "Then thank you uncle, have you collected everything, but don't lose it."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and listened to them all rushing to thank you, winking to let them go out quickly, don't wait for her sister to explain the truth.
Mother Zhang watched the children go out, and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. You don't know how little you are. You used to send meat to the door. He knows everything in mind. Mother came here this time to let you go there often. Look at his family and see if he can help."
"Then I need you to come and say? My brother, I don't help but still stand by? Mother, is the yard at home covered? Nothing at home, you also live in the county for a few days. After this in-laws are gone, the house will be relaxed. Does the second child go back to the village every day for work or something? Is he planning to be ready?"
Zhang's mother pointed to Zhang Guoqing, "The small five has been arranged. There is a room in the unit for him, and he usually goes back to the village. Now don't make any publicity. Waiting three months to get back to the right will be a no-brainer."
Mother Zhang thought for a while and then said, "Xiao Wu has always remembered you to keep your house warm. If he really prepares anything, you can keep it. Our family is getting better now, so don't secretly give your mother money in the future.
You suffer the most from your mother's five children. There is nothing to do with your dowry, and you have been subsidizing your mother's family. Now that your brother is willing to help you, you will accept it. He wants to support you. Jiaojiao, you can rest assured, the things in her house are only for mothers to use at will, and good things are forcing parents to use them. She even told her mother where the secret grid was, and asked her to take it herself if she was short of money and tickets. In the past, those women in the village always said that their mothers were partial to Xiao Wu. See if they are not the sweetest couple of Xiao Wu. "
When Zhang Meili heard the words, she smiled and nodded straight ~EbookFREE.me~ Mother is blessed. My parents-in-law just said yesterday that the older they are, the more enjoyable they are. I think our old Zhang family is up, but it's not time for you to enjoy the blessing. "
Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch. It was late, "Mother, let's go back first. I guess they will have to wait for us to go out for dinner. Sister, don't prepare, let's go back first."
After speaking, Zhang Guoqing took Zhang's mother out.
Mother Zhang turned to Zhang Meili and shouted, "My mother will look for you again in a few days. Think about what is still missing. I will ask your father to send it to you. Don't send it. I will prepare dinner for the children earlier."
Saying goodbye to Zhang Meili, Zhang's mother took him to rush home.
Zhang Guoqing helped her and said hurriedly: "Mother, don't worry, it's very close. Sister, then you can tell her in private that I don't want to use my few hundred yuan in a hurry, and I won't make small money at home. I see. Wen and their quilts are thin and narrow, and the clothes they wear are all thin. They bought a house, but they didn't even eat the buns. You let her hold the children first, don't lose them."
Mother Zhang felt bored when she heard that, and looked at the pedestrians passing by, all wearing patched clothes, and her complexion didn't seem to be much better before she breathed a sigh of relief. Then I looked at my son in his brand-new clothes and looked at his ruddy face. He really looked more like a city person than a city person. It suddenly became clear that this child was comparing his own home.
"Okay, my mother knows. Your eldest sister's life is pretty good. She is to buy the house and pay the bill, not to open the pot. You can relax, don't give money hard. Except for the favor, if your eldest sister hasn't opened your mouth, don't worry about it. Let’s save the emergency but not the poor. The four older brothers and sisters above you really need subsidies. They are all bottomless pits. I think you gave me a handful of money today and waited for you to work for a month. You still have to leave our family safe."
Zhang Guoqing nodded, he understood what she meant.
