In the evening, Zhang Jiahui and Cao Zheng came back from get off work. The couple looked at the groceries in the house and couldn't help but stare, almost suspecting that a thief was in the house.
"Xiaofan, what's going on?"
Cao Fan immediately got up from the sofa:
"Dad, Mom, you are back."
"Let me ask you, where did these things come from?"
Cao Fan rubbed his sore waist: "Where else could they come from? My grandma bought these all from the supermarket. If the supermarket hadn't sold them out, there would probably be more later."
"Is there a discount in the supermarket? Even if there is a discount, you don't have to buy so many things at once, right?"
Zhang Jiahui said with confusion on her face.
Cao Zheng smiled bitterly: "Mom probably watched too many short videos. In the past two days, there have been rumors everywhere on the Internet that the volcano is about to erupt. Everyone said it with a nose and an eye, as if the end of the world is coming soon."
Zhang Jiahui immediately complained to her son:
"Aren't you at home? Why didn't you stop?"
"Mom, I stopped you, but I couldn't stop you!"
Cao Fan spread his hands and looked helpless.
"Okay, I bought everything. Anyway, they are all things that are useful, so it is not a waste."
Cao Zheng quickly made peace with him.
The mother-in-law is the elder, and her starting point is for the good of their family, so they really can’t say anything.
Talking too much will only hurt the old man's heart.
Zhang Jiahui sighed and then asked:
"Where is your grandma?"
"Grandma took her cousins to Grandma Zhong's house, saying she wanted to help my aunt find a partner."
Cao Fan gloated.
Since his aunt came to their home, he was not only forced to give up his bedroom and move into the storage room, but he was also forcibly "borrowed" five hundred thousand by the other party.
It makes me sad to say too much!
Zhang Jiahui glared at her son fiercely: "Why are you laughing? You are not young anymore. When will you bring a girlfriend back to show us?"
"Mom, I have something to do at my company, so I'm leaving now. I may have to work overtime tonight and won't be back."
Seeing that the flames of war were burning on his head, Cao Fan immediately rubbed oil on his feet and slipped out of the house.
"Every time I talk about this, I disappear."
Zhang Jiahui rubbed her temples, no one in this big family could worry.
Upon seeing this, Cao Zheng quickly pulled his wife to sit on the sofa, and then helped her press her shoulders:
"My son has no control over his mother. You can't control it now even if you want to, just let him be!"
"To put it lightly, don't you want to hold your grandson in your arms as soon as possible? Look at Big Pudding and his brothers, they look like tiger-like heads. They are so cute. I don't believe you are not envious of them."
"What's the use of envy? My brother-in-law is also blessed with a good life. He doesn't have to worry about anything. His two sons are all supported by his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Can the two of us do it?"
"If I really have a grandchild, I will retire early."
Zhang Jiahui said without hesitation.
She is not as enterprising as her husband.
"Ahem, let's not talk about Xiaofan. Let's go back to Xiaohao. He has been in Huicheng for half a year. Do you really not plan to come back?"
Zhang Jiahui glanced at the gate, and then said in a low voice: "There is something I want to tell you. Don't tell your parents, I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it for a while."
"What's going on?" Cao Zheng asked curiously.
"Xiao Hao secretly sold his family villa. It seems that he is determined to stay in the south and start a business."
"I'll go, why doesn't he discuss such a big matter with his family?"
"He even dares to sell the company, so why should we negotiate?"
Cao Zheng shook his head subconsciously: "I can't understand your brother more and more. When I chatted with him before, there was always an indescribable weird feeling."
"What's weird?"
Zhang Jiahui quickly asked.
"Uh..." Cao Zheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly felt blessed: "Xiao Hao has become more mature. Whether it is his tone of voice or the way he thinks, he doesn't look like a young man, but he looks a lot like our dad."<
/p>
"What did I think it was? You just said that he is young and mature."
Cao Zheng immediately stopped what he was doing:
"You are right to say that. Xiaohao is not simple now. Anyway, I can't see through him."
"You are definitely overthinking. He can do so many ridiculous things. He is so old. If my dad didn't have a good psychological quality, he would have been pissed to death by him."
Zhang Jiahui couldn't help but complain.
Cao Zheng smiled and said so.
……
Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Just when the heat of the "Sulfonite Volcano" gradually subsided and social order returned to normal.
September 5th, 10 a.m. Eastern Time.
A 7.1-magnitude earthquake once again occurred in Sulfonstone Park. Although experts immediately came out to refute the rumors and believed that it was an aftershock of the last major earthquake.
Nothing to worry about.
But the panic inevitably spread again and became worse.
Not only the North American continent, but also the whole world has set off a wave of doomsday hypotheses.
This time, Gao Ce finally couldn't sit still.
He immediately found the big boss and wanted to apply for reopening.
"Mr. Zhang, our good days are coming. Since yesterday, a large number of customers have gathered at the entrance of the shopping mall, all coming to buy cans."
"There's no point in being anxious, the rectification period hasn't passed yet!"
Zhang Hao doesn’t care.
Speaking of this, Gao Ce got angry: "What a fool. Our cans are all clearly priced, and we don't force anyone to buy them. Why are you so hard on us?"
The other party has now completely forgotten that he was also opposed to it at the beginning.
"Stop complaining and wait patiently. It won't be long anyway."
"Mr. Zhang, do you think you can ask Director Zeng to come forward and help us unblock the ban in advance? After all, this moment is the same as the other moment. Now everyone is begging us to open the door, which can be regarded as complying with public opinion."
Gao Ce still refuses to give up.
"Director Zeng has been extremely busy lately. He has no time to take care of such trivial matters. Don't..."
Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, his cell phone rang suddenly.
He picked it up and saw that it was Mayor He's call. He immediately answered the call.
"Hello, Mayor He, I am Zhang Hao."
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't bother you, did I?"
"No, no, I've been idle here since the mall closed for rectification!"
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to make a hint.
If he had the chance, he would also like to sell the cans as soon as possible. After all, there are nearly 50,000 tons of goods in the warehouse. He is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
In any case, with so much goods, it is impossible to keep it, so it is safest to exchange it for money.
"Ahem, I've also heard about what happened last time. In fact, it was all a misunderstanding. Mr. Zhang, you don't have to take it to heart."
"It's all over. I've already looked away from it."
Zhang Hao immediately agreed.
After some polite remarks, Mayor He revealed the real purpose of the call:
"Mr. Zhang, I won't talk nonsense to you. The city received a lot of calls from citizens this morning. Everyone is looking forward to the business of 'Ten Thousand Pots of Wealth' being able to resume business as soon as possible."
"As long as the city agrees, I can reopen at any time."
Zhang Hao expressed his position on the spot.
"The city has no reason to object and will not interfere with normal production and business activities. Mr. Zhang, you don't have to worry, just go ahead and do it."
Mayor He's words are equivalent to giving a guarantee.
However, Zhang Hao could tell that it was definitely more than just this matter if the other party came forward in person.
