At 11:30 in the evening, the family began to have new year's Eve dinner.
Zhang Qianxiu went outside to set off a firecracker. By this time, the sound of firecrackers outside had begun to come one after another, ushering in the peak of the local new year.
At this time of the day, it was dark in the countryside and everyone was asleep.
But today, there are still many lights, just like stars.
During the meal, Zhang Qianxiu also drank two glasses and a glass of wine to his parents.
In fact, Zhang Qianxiu is dissatisfied with his father now, but he doesn't want to quarrel with his father as before. Sometimes he can only give in, but he just insists on his own opinions on matters of principle. The main thing is that he doesn't want to make too much trouble at home.
Anyway, his father can't really affect his business. In the future, he can't make decisions for his sister. At most, he can give advice at home.
In other words, Zhang Qianxiu doesn't want to carry on with his father. He plans to go against the law. He says he wants to be his father and I will be mine.
At 12:40 a.m., Hu Jin'e went to collect the dishes and chopsticks, while Zhang Qianxiu and his father were warming up in the main hall to watch the new year.
"Dad, let's build the house next year." Zhang Qianxiu said.
Zhang Aibing knew that Zhang Qianxiu's words meant that Zhang Qianxiu would pay for it and he could manage it. However, Zhang Aibing had a strong self-esteem and was unwilling to take the initiative to open this conversation with Zhang Qianxiu. He deliberately said, "I don't have any money in my hand now."
Zhang Qianxiu sighed in his heart. Looking back, he thought that his father had been strong all his life, and he didn't want to put down his face. In the past, his family was poor, and his father was in charge of the family. He didn't feel that.
Now Zhang Qianxiu felt more and more uncomfortable: "Dad, isn't my money the money of my family? You have five million dollars in that basket. I want to use it in business. I'll leave 150000 yuan to build a house. If you leave another 50000 yuan for your own use, you'll have to plant something else in your home
Zhang Aibing is still polite: "it's not easy for you to make money. Your business is growing. If you are in a hurry, it doesn't matter if the house is built later. I can still do it for two years, and the house will be built sooner or later."
Zhang Qianxiu didn't like to hear this. He took out a cigarette and handed it to his father. He took a pair of tongs by the fire basin, picked up a piece of charcoal, lit a cigarette, and said, "you don't have to worry about my business. The house is about to collapse. Then I'll find someone to design a drawing. If you like, you can follow the drawing."
"At home, you should watch more. Mom is in poor health. Don't let him do the work of geography. My sister and I can make money now."
"My sister is in charge of the factory. She has more than 300 yuan a month. Her food and housing expenses are all in the factory, and it doesn't cost much."
"If I'm here, business will be a little busy, maybe not a lot when I come back. You should take care of your mother more."
Zhang Qianxiu felt that he didn't have a big problem with what he said. He didn't know how to recruit Zhang Aibing again.
Zhang Aibing tone slightly dissatisfied said: "now your sister and brother both have promising, I and your mother you don't care, we can support ourselves."
When Zhang Qianxiu heard his father speak, he seemed to have a little sarcasm in his tone, so he became more and more dissatisfied and stopped talking.
After doing business for such a long time, Zhang Qianxiu has been able to better control his temper.
Just then, Zhang Qianxiu's phone rang. He got up and went to pick up the phone.
Su Yuwei's voice came from the other end of the phone: "happy new year, what are you doing?"
Hearing Su Yuwei's voice, Zhang Qianxiu felt relaxed and said with a smile, "I'm warming up to watch the new year."
"Me too. I think my parents are going to have a family meeting for me in a few days. " Su Yuwei said.
"What's the family meeting for you?" Zhang Qianxiu was puzzled.
Su Yuwei said: "I'll go to Beijing with you. You bought me a car. My mother is in a hurry. She's afraid that I'll take a fancy to your money and be cheated by you."
"Now, she hasn't talked to me about the new year. It's estimated that she will talk about it after the new year."
Zhang Qianxiu couldn't help laughing and said, "do you want me to explain it?"
"Watch it then!" Su Yuwei said.
Zhang Qianxiu was stunned. He thought Su Yuwei would refuse. Unexpectedly, he didn't refuse: "when I go to my uncle's home to pay New Year's respects, I'll pay New Year's respects to my uncle and aunt."
"By the way, do aunts and uncles know our relationship?"
Su Yuwei asked: "what's the relationship?"
"You are my daughter-in-law! To be more subtle, you can be my girlfriend. " Zhang Qianxiu said.
Su Yuwei couldn't help but show a sweet smile: "I know."
When Zhang Qianxiu heard this, he was also very happy. Su Yuwei was willing to tell his family that his attitude was very obvious: "I'll definitely go for a new year's call, otherwise it's too impolite."
"It's up to you. When you come, my mother will stop nagging me. Where are my uncles and aunts? I give them a new year Su Yuwei asked.
"Wait a minute. I'll give my dad the phone." Zhang Qianxiu said and handed his cell phone to Zhang Aibing: "Dad, it's Weiwei. I'll give you New Year's greetings."
Zhang Aibing and Hu Jin'e both like Su Yuwei. Su Yuwei is beautiful and has temperament. Her family is in good condition and her grades are good. In their eyes, she is the perfect daughter-in-law.
In fact, Zhang Aibing and Hu Jin'e still have some "inferiority complex" in their bones. They used to think that their conditions were not as good as those of the Su family. The Su family is also a well-known family in jiuniuao village. Su Yiyun is a teacher. Su Jiacheng had an iron rice bowl before, and he didn't want to go when he was asked to go. Now he does some official business and has a small shop at home.
Therefore, Zhang Aibing and Hu Jin'e have always felt that if Su Yuwei married Zhang Qianxiu, she would be married next, that is, the one with good conditions and the one with poor conditions.
In addition, Su Yuwei can speak, but also won the heart of Zhang Aibing and Hu Jin'e, Su Yuwei is 100 satisfaction.
When Zhang Aibing answered the phone, Hu Jin'e also came over.
Su Yuwei paid new year's respects to Zhang Qianxiu's parents, and then said two words to Zhang Qianxiu, with a reminder: "if you have time, give those professors and Ma Daile a call, pay New Year's respects or something."
"Not tonight, but tomorrow morning." Zhang Qianxiu said: "there are some places that don't seem to keep the new year."
"Well, that's it. Bye!"
Hung up the phone, Hu Jin'e has taken care of the housework, also came to the fire, conveniently began to talk about Su Yuwei.
Talking about Su Yuwei is OK, at least the whole family is happy.
There are some local habits that Zhang Qianxiu doesn't understand. On the first day of the lunar new year, he has breakfast very early. He starts to eat at 5:30 in the morning, and then prepares for lunch. Because on the first day of new year's greetings, he will be very busy.
Zhang Qianxiu and his family are going to the town to pay New Year's greetings to their grandfather and uncle.
Zhang Qianxiu took the time to call everyone to pay New Year's greetings.
I don't know. I found that I couldn't stop when I called. Sometimes when I hung up the phone, someone else called again.
Even if a phone call takes two or three minutes, ten calls will take half a small time.
Until eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Qianxiu's family was ready to go out for the new year, and Zhang Qianxiu was still on the phone.
Fearing that Zhang Qianxiu's five million dollars would be lost, Hu Jin'e emptied the cellar of the main room, put the money in it, and pressed a lot of things on it.
In order to preserve sweet potatoes and potatoes, many local people will dig a cellar near the wall of their home. Zhang Qianxiu's family has a cellar, which is about two meters deep.
Some will dig in the back of the house if they have conditions, while others will dig one on the edge of their own land and lock it with a lock.
When Zhang Qianxiu was driving, there was a phone call all the time. Fortunately, there are not many cars on the road now. Just pay attention to the pedestrians.
In the county, after arriving at my uncle's home, Zhang Aibing and Hu Jine went in wearing new clothes, carrying new year's gifts and smiling.
Zhang Qianxiu set off a firecracker outside the house and followed him in.
Uncle Zhang Yongsheng and Aunt Liu Xiuzhen were busy greeting each other, pouring tea and water.
In the past, Zhang Yongsheng and Liu Xiuzhen would treat Zhang Qianxiu as a child, but now they dare not. They all know that Zhang Qianxiu is promising now.
When chatting, Zhang Aibing also intentionally or unintentionally slapped his leather coat, saying that it was warm. In winter, if you wear a warm coat inside, it will be warm outside.
Zhang Yongsheng and Liu Xiuzhen also mean to please, but let Zhang Aibing a little proud.
After lunch, Zhang Aibing and Hu Jin'e went to chat with Zhang Qianxiu's grandparents.
Zhang Yongsheng found an opportunity to talk with Zhang Qianxiu: "Qianxiu, you are doing a big business now. If you have a suitable business and way, you can also introduce it to your uncle. In this small shop, you can earn your daily expenses, but your aunt is in poor health and often has to take medicine. She can't afford it."
Zhang Qianxiu is neither grateful nor disgusted with Zhang Yongsheng. He respects him as an elder. No matter in his last life or in his whole life, there is nothing too unpleasant about both sides.
Since my uncle spoke, Zhang Qianxiu didn't really care. He thought for a moment and said, "uncle, I can introduce you to the way, but you also need to know that there are profits and losses in this business. I can't guarantee to make money."
"If you want to find a secure job, I can help you, but not me."
Zhang Qianxiu won't let his relatives go to work in his own factory or company.
This annoyed Zhang Qianxiu more than giving them a little money a month. Relatives were not easy to manage and talk about in the company, and sometimes they were easy to offend people.
Zhang Yongsheng nodded: "I understand that. I've been running a grocery store for so many years. I know it's hard to do business."
"I'm short of money? I think Zhang Jiankang and Huang enquan are doing very well with you, so I want to make another living. "
Zhang Qianxiu frowned slightly. He knew that when Zhang Yongsheng mentioned Zhang Jiankang and Huang enquan, he just wanted to remind himself not to favor one over the other.
Zhang Qianxiu didn't think much about it. He hoped he was wrong.
Zhang Qianxiu said: "health is working as a coolie. Brother enquan's management ability is still good. He was slashed twice a year ago to help me expand my business."
