Vol 2 Chapter 368: Old people

Lin Xuezhen's unexpected letter did not cause any disturbance in Zhou Jiao's heart.
When she returned to the county courtyard, Zhou Jiao still sent her lover to work every day, accompanied her son, a cup of tea and a book.
The leisurely days just passed day by day.
In the middle of June, one weekend, the family had lunch in the restaurant and strolled home slowly.
As soon as I arrived at the intersection, I met Zhang Guoqiang, Zhang's second child who was riding a bicycle and giggling.
"Xiao Wu, I just went to your house, and when I saw that the door was locked, I thought you were going to the provincial city. Fortunately, I met you. I have something to do with you. You will come back to the village with me."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at the pedestrians passing by, "Go to my house first."
After entering the yard, Zhang Lao Er hurriedly said: "Someone is here from home."
Zhang Guoqing looked at him suspiciously.
"Hey... Look at what I said. It's a clansman outside the Guan. This time, two old men came and took the genealogy to find the patriarch in the village. They said that there were not many people in the old Zhang family and wanted to move to our village. The patriarch and the third grandfather. They ask you to go back and discuss."
Zhang Guoqing frowned slightly, "I'll talk in the room."
In the living room, Zhou Jiao poured a cup of tea to Zhang Guoqiang, took her son and sat down.
"Second brother, it's not my turn to participate in this matter. What did I say in the past? Finally, I got more land. Everyone is looking forward to filling their stomachs and having a little surplus. If the tribe moves here, there are more people and less land, so the villagers will agree?"
Zhang Lao Er listened and smiled, "You guessed it? The people in the village didn't dare to be the patriarch's face, but they all murmured behind their backs. The patriarch and the third grandfather asked me to find you, just to hear what you can do."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at Zhou Jiao and asked, "Did the other party say how many people are still in the ancestral land? Are they all moved over or part of them? Will they handle the relocation of their household registration?"
"I don't know the details. I only heard that there are still a hundred households in Shan Province, and I didn't say whether all of them moved or some of them."
Zhang Guoqing smiled at them and said: "These old foxes! I have calculated it with integrity, and I still have to pay."
Zhang Lao Er looked at him puzzledly, "What's the situation, tell your second brother."
"Jiaojiao, talk about it."
Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Lao Er’s questioning eyes and smiled: "How many in-laws are there in a hundred households? The daughter-in-law who married in, and the daughter-in-law who married out, don’t want them? Thousands of miles away, how come so many of them come here? It is for relief."
Seeing his second brother looking at him, Zhang Guoqing nodded and smiled: "The patriarch and the third grandfather will let you find me if they have guessed it. Otherwise, they will ask you about the household registration process first. You see, I am not in the village. How many elders are there in Erlai village, so I can use it?"
Zhang Lao Er quickly said: "Then don't go, I will say I can't find you."
Seeing him standing up and leaving in a hurry, Zhang Guoqing pulled him, "Don't worry. This can't be so hasty. You let me think about it again."
Zhang Lao Er quickly sat down and looked at him blankly.
"Who do they live and eat now?"
"Yesterday they found the patriarch as soon as they came over and stopped directly at the patriarch's house. I don't know it today."
Here Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao looked at each other.
"Let's go, let's see what happens first."
Zhou Jiao hugged her son and sent their two brothers out. Seeing that Zhang Guoqing gave up the side three rounds and left on a bicycle, she secretly laughed. Used so carefully?
Zhang Guoqing returned to the village, first to the old courtyard. Mother Zhang said that the three brothers, Father Zhang, were still at the patriarch's house.
He frowned slightly and followed Zhang Lao Er to the patriarch's house.
Standing outside the patriarch’s yard, Zhang Guoqing held Zhang Lao Er. After listening to the meeting, he went in and saw that a dozen or so old men gathered around two middle-aged men with patched clothes.
"Xiao Wu is here. Come and meet your two clan uncles. This is our family outside Guan..."
Zhang Guoqing didn't want to hear the old people say hello. He greeted all the elders, sat down beside Zhang Daddy with a smile, and glanced at the old captain.
"This is the most promising child in our clan. He is the youngest in Erfang. Isn't he energetic? What I just said was him..."
Zhang Guoqing listened to the old people and they were showing off. He and Zhang Daddy looked at each other and sighed when he saw his dad's helpless smile.
Just now he noticed the two grand uncles above. The other party has a natural face, without any restraint. Except for the patched clothes, he was in good spirits, and it was nothing like saying that he was too hungry to eat, just drink water.
Last month, his family came back from outside the customs. It's not that they haven't seen how the rural people are. Is that look like this? He sees that the other party's life is no worse than that of Zhangjiacun.
Listening to the other party talking about the two people coming here without money, they were hungry for days.
Zhang Guoqing lowered his head and smiled.
"Xiao Wu, your clan uncle said to move all the clan members over, what do you say?" Seeing Zhang Guoqing lowered his head and pretended to be dumb, he asked quickly.
Zhang Guoqing laughed happily, "Grandpa patriarch, what do you know about me as a dime? You always discuss with the big guy. My family is not registered in the village, so I won’t make any comments. The people in the village know. it is good."
The old patriarch was choked by him. He looked at everyone and found that everyone was silent. He said to the old captain, "The third one, what do you think? Give me an opinion."
Zhang Guoqing paid attention to the two clan uncles above, and as expected, the other side looked at everyone, and one of them dragged the other side.
He glanced at the old captain who was smoking dry smoke. Looking at the elders present, I found that except for one or two people, no one was a fool.
For a while, there was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
Zhang Guoqing's Yu Guang glanced at the two uncles, and at this moment, the other's expression turned into a look of sadness and helplessness. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the old captain.
After smoking the dry smoke in his hand, the old team leader finally said, "I can't tell a way about this. In addition to our own family, there are many foreigners in the village. Besides, there are so many hundred households over there, and they will meet Agree? What do you eat and where to live when you come here? Or do you write a letter for them to take back, and see what the patriarch says, and then discuss it."
"Xiao Wu, do you think the boss over there will agree?"
Zhang Guoqing looked at the patriarch~EbookFREE.me~ with a headache, how to pull it on his head again.
He shook his head decisively, "The local department will not agree, and we will not accept it. If they repeatedly ask to move to the northeast, it is most likely that they will be moved to the far north, which is currently under development and just lacks people."
"Then what do you say?"
Zhang Guoqing shook his head, knowing that the old man was talking nonsense, he was too lazy to speak.
Sure enough, the patriarch suggested to the other party to go back and communicate with the cadres in their village to discuss whether to move to the far north.
Zhang Guoqing shook his head secretly listening to the conversation in the room.
Seeing the old captain stood up, he was going to tell the village to get off work.
He hurriedly pulled off his second brother, stood up and smiled: "Grandpa San, I will go with you. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the provincial capital for a meeting with the leader. I will go back to pack things first. Several elders, I will go back first."
The patriarch shouted: "What are you in a hurry? It doesn't matter if you go back tonight in the future."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head: "It's not so easy to get a salary. Before my second brother came over, I had to take the manuscript to the leader to check him, that is, I hurried over when you always ordered.
Tomorrow morning we will leave at five o'clock, this time at least one week in the past. You always have something to tell my father and they say the same. You two clan uncles stay a few more days, the nephew is rude. "
After speaking, he quickly followed the old captain out of the yard.
After sending away the old captain who had been squinting, Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes and said, "What's so funny? Ouch... our father is poor. After a few hours, I will find an excuse to let him come back."
"Everyone is shitting, it's so pitiful to see them two."
"Second brother, go back and think about the reason. Some people live no worse than our village."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Guoqing saw him with a pensive expression, and he didn't bother to explain, so he hurriedly accelerated in the car.
