Lunar calendar, August 15, Mid Autumn Festival.
After dinner, Zhang Qianxiu's family drove straight to jiuniuao. Today, they are going to send their grandfather the festival.
Hu Jinsong has been studying the business of opening a shop these days. He is almost infatuated. As soon as he takes Zhang Qianxiu and his family to sit down, he pulls Zhang Qianxiu to chat with them: "Xiao Xiu, I'm thinking about opening a shop in two days. You know, in my family, if the money is less, I can take out a little, but it's certainly not enough to open a shop."
"Uncle, I understand that. I said before that if you want to open a shop, I'll help you pay all the expenses first. As for rice, take it from me first, and I'll earn a few cents. After you sell it, you can give me money." Zhang Qianxiu said.
Hu Jinsong said with some embarrassment, "after all, it's a lot of money for you."
"Uncle, you are very polite. We are all a family. When our family is in trouble, you and your aunt have been trying their best to help us. I'm lucky enough to make some money. It's nothing to help you." Zhang Qianxiu was grateful to his uncle's family. They helped a lot in the last life.
Hu Jinsong nodded: "yes, it's all a family."
After having lunch at Hu Jinsong's home, Hu Shanshan found an opportunity to take Zhang Qianxiu out and said, "brother, let's go out to play."
Seeing this, Cao Chunyan called out: "you dead girl, let your brother buy you something to eat, don't you?"
Hu Shanshan suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Qianxiu gently smile, said: "nothing, aunt, I and Shan Shan go out for a walk."
"Xiao Xiu, don't get used to her. She wants you every day." Cao Chunyan said.
"That means we have a good relationship! It's OK. I'll go out with Shanshan. "
Zhang Qianxiu has a lot to say now. Cao Chunyan just talks about it, and he won't stop it.
Out of the door, Hu Shanshan immediately lively: "brother, or Hello, my mother knows every day to talk about me."
"Not when you grow up." Zhang Qianxiu said: "when I was a child, my parents also talked about me! Now your uncle often scolds me
"Why does uncle scold you? My father always said, "if only I had a brother, you would have half the ability. I was still talking last night." Hu Shanshan asked in a puzzled way.
Zhang Qianxiu thought for a moment and said, "you will understand later."
Hu Shanshan doesn't go anywhere else. She leads Zhang Qianxiu to Su Yuwei's house to buy things.
When Zhang Qianxiu was in the past, there was only one old man in charge of the shop. Su Yuwei and his wife were not at home. They should have gone to see off the festival. According to the local custom, August 13, 14 and 15 were the days when the married daughter sent off the festival to her mother's family.
"Third grandfather, shopping." Hu Shanshan said excitedly.
The old man gave a kind smile and said, "good! What do you want to buy? "
"I want Jianlibao," Hu said
The old man said with a smile, "good! Take it yourself. "
Hu Shanshan answered and went into the store to get food. Zhang Qianxiu found an opportunity to say hello to the old man: "Hello, grandfather su."
Needless to say, everyone knows that this person is Su Yuwei's grandfather.
Su Yuwei's grandfather is Su Yiyun. He is also like his name "Yiyun". He is a very connotative person.
Su Yiyun had read a lot of poems and books, and had been a member of the army during the war. However, Su Yiyun did rear work, mainly dealing with documents and so on, and never went to the battlefield.
After returning from the army, Su Yiyun became a teacher again.
Su Yiyun looked at Zhang Qianxiu with a smile and said, "you are Zhang Qianxiu, younger generation, aren't you?"
Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "yes, grandfather su."
"Good!" Su Yiyun made a gesture of invitation: "sit down! Let's talk. "
Zhang Qianxiu sat down respectfully.
Su Yiyun asked, "do you mind if I call you Xiao Zhang?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhang or his name is OK." Zhang Qianxiu said.
"Xiao Zhang, I heard that you are doing business in the county?" Su Yiyun asked.
"Yes, a little business."
Su Yiyun said: "I heard Berlin talk about you. Last night, when we had dinner, we also talked about you."
"I heard that you and vivi are talking about their girlfriends now?"
Zhang Qianxiu was stunned. He didn't know how the news came out. Didn't Su Yuwei explain? Or is Su Yiyun deceiving himself?
Zhang Qianxiu said, "no! But I think Weiwei is very good. If it's possible, I'd like to take care of her, but she still has some hesitations, I understand. "
Su Yiyun gently smile, said: "Xiao Zhang, in fact, Weiwei that child, to you and to others is really different, she is very protective of you."
"Last night, Weiwei's mother was a little worried that you might cheat her. Weiwei that wench although has been denying the relationship between you two, but as long as you say bad, she immediately refuted, also said you are not that kind of person
"You don't know, that child would never have been so fierce in refuting others."
Zhang Qianxiu is still very happy: "Weiwei is very soft, usually speaking will not be too excited."
"Yes Su Yiyun nodded and asked, "listen to Xiao Jiang, what circuit do you want to make?"
"Integrated circuit, what I want to do is also called chip or CPU." Zhang Qianxiu explained.
"I don't understand all this, but I heard that this thing is very powerful?" Su Yiyun asked.
Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "it's very powerful, just like gunpowder of guns. No gunpowder, no matter what guns and bombs are useless."
"I understand what you say." Su Yiyun said with a smile.
By this time, Hu Shanshan had already picked up something: "third grandfather, I want these."
Su Yiyun took a look and nodded with a smile: "OK, a total of six yuan."
Zhang Qianxiu quickly counted the money, but Su Yiyun didn't refuse, and said: "Xiao Zhang, come to dinner tonight!"
Zhang Qianxiu thought for a moment and said, "grandfather Su, I may not have time tonight. Let me see if I have time tomorrow."
"That's fine!"
After chatting with Su Yiyun for a while, Zhang Qianxiu gets up to leave and chats with Su Yiyun. In fact, Zhang Qianxiu is still under great pressure.
After all, Zhang Qianxiu wanted to abduct his granddaughter. He didn't have a strong sense of reason. Instead, he felt that he had been "investigated.".
On the way home, Hu Shanshan asked, "brother, are you going to get married with Wei Wei?"
Zhang Qianxiu patted Hu Shanshan on the head: "you know."
"I heard what my father said. I heard what you said to the third grandfather just now." Hu Shanshan then made a positive judgment: "you must be getting married."
"Don't go out and talk nonsense!" Zhang Qianxiu exhorted: "when the time comes, you are not happy, be careful to smoke you."
"As long as you don't hit me, Vivian won't hit me." Hu Shanshan said confidently.
Zhang Qianxiu gently smile: "that I smoke you."
"You said you would not marry sister Wei Wei. You are helping her now." Hu Shanshan eating snacks, ghost spirit strange said.
In the afternoon, Zhang Qianxiu drove to the town. Today's festival, he always had to see his grandfather and second uncle.
Zhang Yongsheng, the second uncle, started a small business in the town and opened a noodle shop. The business was pretty good.
When Zhang Qianxiu and his family came, the business in the shop was pretty good.
The second aunt is Liu Xiuzhen. She is in poor health and can't do any heavy work.
When Zhang Yongsheng saw Zhang Qianxiu's family coming, he quickly put down his work: "boss, sister-in-law, Xiaoxiu."
Zhang Aibing looked at the people in the shop and said with a smile, "second, you're doing a good business."
"It's just a living. It's a holiday. There are many people coming out." Zhang Yongsheng said, "go inside first. I'll close the door later."
Hu Jin'e quickly said: "second, we are here to see you. It's important to do business."
"It's OK. I can't be hungry if I don't do it for a day." Zhang Yongsheng said with a smile.
Walk past the store and kitchen outside, and there are two houses inside.
It's hard for a family to get together at ordinary times. It's more natural to talk about this festival.
When the guests left, Zhang Yongsheng also closed the door.
In the afternoon when eating, grandfather Zhang Jingshan suddenly said: "Xiao Xiu, I heard that you have made a lot of money in business?"
Zhang Qianxiu didn't speak much at all. When he talked about this, he said, "the business is OK. He made some money."
Zhang Jingshan said, "your second uncle doesn't use the money very much these days. Why don't you lend him some money to make it easier for him."
Zhang Qianxiu naturally has no opinion. Although his second uncle didn't help his family in his last life, it's because he didn't live a good life. If he made a little money, he would treat his second aunt. But he never delayed his family: "this is no problem."
Zhang Yongsheng was a little embarrassed at this time: "Xiao Xiu, don't worry. When I have the turnover, I will pay you back immediately."
"OK, how much do you want for the second uncle?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.
"Five hundred!" Zhang Yongsheng said a number.
Five hundred yuan is not a small number for ordinary people today, but it's not a problem for Zhang Qianxiu. He just has six hundred yuan in his pocket and gives it all to ER Bo at once: "Er Bo, here are six hundred yuan. Take it first."
Zhang Yongsheng took the money, repeatedly thanks: "OK, 600, at most a year, I'll pay you back."
"Good!" Zhang Qianxiu replied that it doesn't matter whether the 600 yuan is returned or not, but Zhang Qianxiu didn't plan to say that he doesn't need to return it. The main reason is that he was afraid that there would be a "rise of rice en and fight against rice feud", which would make everyone unhappy at that time.
The matter of borrowing money is settled, Zhang Jingshan said: "boss, we usually follow the second, and the cost is not small, right? Why don't you give me some living expenses in the future? "
Zhang Aibing was not happy: "Dad, I will send it to you every year."
Zhang Jingshan said, "I'll remember this rice for you, but we have to spend money, don't we?"
Zhang Aibing said: "Dad, I send rice twice a year. It adds up to 1000 Jin. How can it be enough for you two to eat? The second one doesn't care about your rice."
"And you work for the second son here. I'm the only one at home, and you don't do anything for me."
Zhang Jingshan was silent.
Zhang Qianxiu knew that if he paid the agricultural tax on his family's rice every year, he would definitely return it.
After paying the agricultural tax, the rest of the better ones were sent to the second uncle's house in the town, because the second uncle could not grow rice in the town.
In the end, the second rice is reserved for eating.
On the issue of rice delivery, Hu Jin'e also made trouble with Zhang Aibing. She thought that half of the good rice and half of the second rice would be enough. She couldn't send all the good rice to the second uncle's family, but ate the second rice in her own family.
Zhang Aibing insisted on sending good ones, so he insisted.
Also because of the rice problem, Zhang Aibing thinks he has a clear conscience to his parents.
Hu Jin'e and Zhang Ai Bing share the same idea on this issue.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Dad, my grandfather really has to spend money in the town."
Zhang Aibing was not happy, and said: "I was in charge of your grandparents' meals. Your second uncle was in charge of the two elders' food and the usual expenses, and we shared the medical expenses equally."
"Two old people eat two Jin of rice a day. It's only seven hundred jin a year, and the rest is more than two hundred jin. If they sell it, how can they sell it for hundreds of yuan? That's for your grandparents
"Your grandparents haven't had any serious illness these years. How many hundred yuan a year is not enough?"
This is Zhang Aibing's account in his heart. With such a calculation, Zhang Yongsheng immediately said, "boss, if Dad talks about it, don't take it to heart."
Zhang Aibing didn't say a word. It was tacit.
Zhang Qianxiu wanted to make his own decisions and give his grandparents a little living expenses a month, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
In fact, the reason is very simple. When he opens his mouth, all the good words will be from his grandson, and his father will probably be said to be a white eyed wolf.
Because of the money problem, the next atmosphere was a little dull, and everyone didn't talk much.
Zhang Qianxiu tried to talk about some topics in the village, but Zhang Aibing turned around and died.
Until I left, the atmosphere did not ease.
When he left from his second uncle, it was already dark, and Zhang Qianxiu didn't dare to drive too fast: "Dad, it's OK for you to think about the alimony of your grandfather. It's OK to give him some money."
"You have a lot of money. Why don't you give it to me?" Zhang Aibing said discontentedly.
Zhang Qianxiu felt helpless: "Dad, although our family is not rich now, it's OK to give grandparents a little alimony a year. It's natural to support your parents! "
Zhang Aibing rightfully said: "I raised it. Why didn't I raise it? Let your grandparents go back to the countryside. Your second uncle gives me 700 Jin of rice and 50 yuan a year. As long as I don't get seriously ill in hospital, I don't need him to take care of anything. Your grandparents don't have to do heavy work at home, just cook for us. "
"I give 1000 Jin of rice a year, which is much lower than my requirement. If you look at your second uncle's willingness to let your grandparents come back, he certainly won't."
"If you don't say anything else, I give 1000 Jin of rice a year. Your uncle gives 1000 Jin of rice a year. Your grandparents live on their own. They don't know where to be happier than they are now."
"Your second uncle didn't spend much money on your grandparents. On the contrary, your grandparents helped him a lot. Your grandparents are facing your second uncle, you know?"
Zhang Aibing's words are true. If two old people have two thousand kilograms of rice a year, they can eat seven or eight hundred kilograms a year. The remaining one thousand kilograms can be sold for three to four hundred yuan. Then they go back to live in the countryside and plant some vegetables, raise a pig, raise some chickens and ducks in the vegetable garden beside the house, More than 99 percent of the elderly in rural areas should live a better life.
"Dad! This is not the way to support one's parents. What the elderly do is to be filial, not to compare with their brothers who pay more and who gets more. " Zhang Qianxiu also had some helplessness.
Hu Jin'e said at this time: "Xiao Xiu, your father is not wrong about this. In your second uncle's family, you don't have to buy rice for a year. It's all given by our family."
"Although the elderly are justified, we can't be dumb."
Zhang Qianxiu was silent for a moment, and said: "Dad, mom, it's necessary to do business and settle accounts with outsiders, but if the elderly do, there are some mistakes. Our family is not short of money now, and you don't want me to calculate how much money you spend on me when I provide for you in the future?"
Zhang Aibing and Hu Jine were both silent.
It's related to the problem of providing for the aged in the future. It's impossible for both of them to say so easily.
"Dad, give your grandparents 100 yuan a month. I'll pay for it in your name. How about that?" Zhang Qianxiu said again.
At this time, Zhang Aibing finally let go and said, "one hundred is too much. Now I can't earn one hundred yuan a month. I'll give your grandparents one hundred yuan. By that time, won't they all fall into your second uncle's pocket?"
Zhang Qianxiu sighed and said, "are these questions so important? We give the money to our grandparents. How they spend it is their freedom. "
"If we can't make money now, we really have to worry about it, but now 100 yuan is not a big problem for us."
Hu Jin'e said, "give 50 yuan a month! This is already very high. Look at the village. Who can give the old man 50 yuan a month? "
Zhang Qianxiu is too lazy to care about this. Anyway, his grandparents are still strong and strong, and all the money they give is really given to his second uncle. They just receive the money they give, and they don't get any benefits at all.
"That's fine!" Zhang Qianxiu said, "when you have time, dad will go to town and send the money to Grandpa."
"All right!" Zhang Aibing said dryly.
There was nothing to say all the way. When we got back to the village, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.
