After lunch, at the suggestion of her mother-in-law, Zhang Jiayi took her father to visit her farm.
Li Dajuan and others found reasons to evade.
Although the old man and his second daughter have reached reconciliation, it is only on the surface. If you want to truly resolve the knot, you must open your heart.
It’s best to have an in-depth exchange.
Zhang Jiaqi parked the car beside a river, pointed to the mountains in the distance and introduced: "Dad, starting from this small river to the foot of the mountain over there, this large piece of land belongs to our family." p>
"All of these?"
Zhang Chongxin was a little unbelievable.
Before that, he only knew that his second son-in-law's family had a large farm, but he didn't expect that the area was so large, it was almost as rich as the landowners in ancient times.
Speaking of which, Lao Zhang also came from a farmer's background and was no stranger to the fields. He also suffered from hunger when he was a child, and he was full of longing for the land.
For many people of the older generation, no matter how big the business is, there is no reliable land.
It's a pity that there are many local people but little land, and the land tax is astonishingly high. If there were no land tax, or the tax rate was very low, he would have returned to his hometown and become a small landowner.
If I had known, my second daughter’s family would have so much land.
He will definitely not speak easily.
Zhang Jiayi looked proud: "Of course, we can produce about 5,000 tons of wheat and 3,000 tons of soybeans every year, as well as some fruits and vegetables. In the most, we made nearly 10 million in one year."
"Hey, this is almost catching up with our factory."
Zhang Chongxin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Zhang Jiayi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "That was before. The market has been bad in recent years, and we have lost hundreds of thousands every year. In the second half of the year, we plan to reduce the planting area by half."
"It would be a waste to leave such good land empty."
"Actually, it's not a waste. There are subsidies for rotating farming here. It's more cost-effective than losing money anyway. And it's not just us, many nearby farms have already started to actively reduce production."
"Oh, it's a pity that our company is not engaged in processing agricultural products, otherwise we could help you."
Zhang Jiayi waved her hand: "Let's not talk about it anymore. I heard from my mother that our factory is very popular this year? We should be able to make a lot of money, right?"
"It's not bad, I think I can earn a small target."
"It's pretty good. It would be great if it could be like this every year. Xiaohao would also be able to relax a lot."
"It's a great idea. If you can earn 10 million a year, your dad and I will be very satisfied."
Zhang Chongxin sighed.
Although my son has taken over, it's hard to tell yet what his capabilities are. In fact, his requirements are not high, as long as he doesn't bankrupt the company.
Zhang Jiayi nodded and suddenly changed the topic:
"Dad, you were still trying to persuade me to change careers this morning. Why don't you consider Xinfeng Group? Uncle Zhou was similar to our family in the early years, and now the company is about to go public."
"You mean transformation? No, your brother doesn't have the ability, so don't bother."
"If you don't try, how will you know it doesn't work?"
Zhang Jiayi tried to persuade.
Zhang Chongxin finally reacted: "Did your brother tell you something?"
"That's right, I had a phone call with Xiaohao last night. From what he said, he probably wanted to take advantage of sufficient funds to complete the transformation as soon as possible."
"Did he ask you to come and test my identity?"
Zhang Chongxin took it for granted.
In fact, Zhang Hao's real intention was just to give his father a vaccination to prevent the incident from coming to light. The old man couldn't accept it for a while, and might even get very angry.
"Uh, maybe?"
"Don't worry about this. I'll call your brother personally later. I know he wants to prove himself in a hurry, but it's not time yet."
Zhang Chongxin pretended to be a veteran.
"Dad, do you mean it's best to wait for how many years?"
Zhang Chongxin nodded: "He has been just having fun these years and is almost out of touch with normal society. He doesn't know what kind of business can be done and what business can't be done. He only follows the trend and can't make money."
"Isn't that true? I think Xiaohao speaks clearly and logically, and he doesn't look like a hot-headed person."
"Boy, remember what I said. The economy is in a downturn right now. No matter what business you start, it will most likely end in a dead end. The most important thing right now is to survive, rather than thinking about making big money all day long."
Zhang Chongxin took the opportunity to teach.
"Dad, then why do you want to persuade me to change careers?"
"I want you to go back to your hometown to develop. As a family, we can take care of each other to some extent. Is it better than you working alone in a foreign country?"
Zhang Chongxin’s words are serious and thoughtful.
If Zhang Hao were here, he would definitely raise his hands in approval.
In his dream, the second sister's family failed to evacuate in time, which led to the second brother-in-law and young nephew having accidents one after another, and ultimately suffered the tragic consequences of losing both their personal and financial resources.
Although Zhang Jiayi was a little touched, she had no plans to return to China for development.
Firstly, their family has become accustomed to the way of life here; secondly, the land cannot be sold at a high price now, and they are unwilling to deal with it at a low price; thirdly, she likes her current job very much, and also wants to prove herself, it is impossible
Giving up so easily.
However, she did not refuse outright.
It's not easy for her parents to come over, and she doesn't want to ruin their good mood because of this incident.
It’s not too late to say it again when you leave.
……
After an afternoon of communication, the tense relationship between Zhang Chongxin and Zhang Jiayi's father and daughter has really eased a lot, and the whole family is happy.
Two days later, Steven came back from his business trip.
After some discussion, the couple unanimously decided to take the whole family to Sulfur Rock Park for the weekend.
There are many hot springs there, which are suitable for the elderly to maintain their health.
Friday soon arrived, and according to the plan, the whole family set off happily in the RV.
The most exciting ones are the two Pudding brothers.
These two little guys have been going crazy playing.
But as the old saying goes: There are unpredictable circumstances.
As soon as the group arrived near the park, they heard bad news. Perhaps due to the impact of the previous earthquake, many abnormal phenomena appeared in the park.
And this caused more than ten accidents.
For the safety of tourists, after weighing the pros and cons, the park had to urgently evacuate all staff and tourists, and at the same time closed all passages.
As a last resort, everyone can only divert to the south.
Salt Lake City in the south has many places to visit and is also a good choice.
Along the way, Steven took the opportunity to spread some rumors about Sulfur Rock Volcano to his father-in-law.
"Super volcano? Doomsday?"
"That's right, this might be a sign before the eruption. It's still too late to escape now."
Steven took the initiative to make a little joke.
It's just that he didn't know that he would actually hit the mark this time.
Zhang Chongxin didn't believe it at all: "It's nonsense. It's just a volcano, and it can actually lead to the end of the world. I think you guys are full and too busy."
