The Chinese New Year will soon be coming, but Zhang Wenfang is very depressed. Ever since she came back from Zhaojiatun that day, her family has been complaining that she was unable to go to Zhao Shengcai's house to meet Zhao Yulong.
"It's true that you girl, I specially asked you to go over there, meet each other, and get to know Zhao Yulong. I didn't expect that you had been there for several days and didn't even see Zhao Yulong's face." Zhang Wenfang's mother, Du Dongmei, said at the side
Crush the white tofu pieces hard while looking up at a beautiful building not far away.
That building belonged to Zhang Laowu, a nouveau riche family in Zhangjiashan. Zhanglaowu raised a good daughter, Zhang Meilian. When he was not out of Zhangjiashan, it was fine. But since he went out to work, he imitated the city women and dressed up a little.
Immediately he showed his extraordinary talent. After being noticed by a big boss, the pheasant suddenly turned into a golden phoenix. The big boss had a lot of money. With a wave of his hand, he gave a large sum of money to his father-in-law and his family. Zhang Laowu used this money.
The most dazzling building in Zhangjiashan was built. Zhang Laowu has two sons. The eldest is almost thirty and has not found a partner yet, and the second son is also a bachelor. Originally, no one was willing to marry their daughter to this man.
Two brothers, but after the building was repaired, the situation immediately changed. During the double robbery, the two brothers went home and thought about their partners, and immediately decided to live there in the winter.
Du Dongmei sometimes thought to herself that her daughter was prettier than Zhang Meilian, so why didn’t any big boss like her outside? Even if she wasn’t as lucky as Zhang Meilian, Du Dongmei would be happy to find an ordinary family. Now this marriage
Daughters are valuable. Around Huangshi Town, marrying a daughter is a gift of 50,000 yuan.
Du Dongmei does not expect that her married daughter will be able to build a beautiful building like Zhang Laowu's family, but at least she can save enough gift money for her son. Du Dongmei's family is not short of buildings. Her son Zhang Dajiang and daughter Zhang Wenfang have been working outside to earn money in recent years.
With the money, he has already built a house that is decent in Zhangjiashan. Zhang Dajiang has also already fallen in love with someone. He originally planned to visit during the Chinese New Year today, but he didn’t expect to get stuck with tens of thousands of yuan in gift money. Zhang Wenfang’s family
When the building was being repaired, there was still some money that had not been paid off, so it was impossible to ask for tens of thousands of yuan in gift money now.
The Zhang family originally hoped that if Zhang Wenfang could establish a relationship with Zhao Yulong, they would be able to get a gift from their family that would be enough to solve their son's problems. But what they didn't expect was that their daughter didn't seem to be interested in Zhao Yulong at all. What made her most uneasy was that Zhang Quan
If he was brought here, Zhang Wenfang might have taken a liking to the most ruthless young man in Zhaojiatun.
"Mom, don't worry about my affairs. My brother and sister-in-law are not very old anyway, so it doesn't matter if they wait for another year. You don't even know what a virtuous person Zhao Yulong is. Are you going to throw me into the fire pit for tens of thousands of dollars?"
Li Tui?" Zhang Wenfang has been having trouble with her family these past two days, so her tone was not very good.
"Look at your tone! This daughter of yours was raised in vain. You said that Zhao Yulong's family is a pit of fire, but what about the orphan Laiwang who has no father, no mother, and no place to stay?" Du Dongmei said.
"Didn't I tell you? Laiwang and I have nothing to do. We haven't seen each other for many years. This time, I saw his house was damaged and went over to take a look. Then I gave him some advice.
"I didn't expect him to be very determined. Mom, don't tell me. If Lai Wang is really determined, he will definitely be more successful than Zhao Yulong," Zhang Wenfang said.
"You still said you have nothing to do with Zhao Laiwang?" Du Dongmei angrily threw the tofu in her hand into the basin.
"Aren't you annoyed that you keep making trouble all day and night?" Zhang Wenfang's father, Zhang Taigen, emerged from nowhere and frowned when he heard his mother-in-law's voice.
"You old ghost, you have nothing to do all day long, you just stay at the card table.
"I can't play even a day all year round. People don't play there like me, and I don't see their mothers-in-law even humming. It's a big deal when I get to you." Zhang Taigen winked at his daughter. It seemed that he was helping her on purpose.
Daughters attract fire.
Zhang Wenfang smiled slightly, turned around and ran outside.
"Wenfang? Hey, where is this girl?" When Du Dongmei came back to her senses and came to look for Zhang Wenfang, Zhang Wenfang had long disappeared.
Zhang Wenfang's brother was reading a novel at home. When he saw Zhang Wenfang walking in, he smiled and said, "Mom scolded you, right? Ignore her. I know very well what Zhao Yulong is. Don't worry about my affairs. They are the Li family's
If you make me anxious, just blow it off. Anyway, it’s not me who suffers, but the daughter of their Lao Li family who suffers.”
"Brother, you are wrong to say that! My sister-in-law is not bad to you. But there is nothing she can do about the customs in this village? If you dare to let your sister-in-law down, I will not forgive you." Zhang Wenfang immediately made his position clear.
"Xiao Li has nothing to say to me. I don't want to let her down. But the Li family are so useless. They ask for money at all times and won't let them in without money. Do you think they are marrying off their daughter or selling their daughter?"
Zhang Dajiang threw the book in his hand on the bed, feeling helpless.
"Brother, don't talk about people like that. Is it so easy for people to raise a daughter? You kidnapped her all of a sudden and didn't let you bleed. Will you cherish it? If you don't want anything, people will still say that their daughter is not good.
Are you taken seriously?" Zhang Wenfang said.
"Well, that's true. If we pay tens of thousands of yuan for someone else to come back, we still make a profit. Xiaoli works outside for tens of thousands a year." Zhang Dajiang felt much better after thinking this.
.
"So, don't be a good person when you get a cheap deal. Listen to your parents and go to your sister-in-law's house tomorrow. Whatever the old Li family says, you will laugh with them. Talk to them carefully. We can't do anything like this for the time being.
I’ll give you a lot of gift money and see if I can postpone the wedding a little bit,” Zhang Wenfang said.
Zhang Dajiang looked a little embarrassed. He thought he had been scolded a lot by his father-in-law. "I'm afraid I can't convince them. They gave an ultimatum last time. Let's not talk about this troublesome matter. Little sister, you are already a big boy, don't you think?
Didn’t you just fall in love with one and a half? Could it be that you really fall in love with Zhao Laiwang? That Zhao Laiwang’s situation is really a bit more difficult. If you really find him, you will definitely jump into the fire pit."
"No. Laiwang and I really have nothing to do with each other. We are just ordinary classmates. But this time I gave him an idea and agreed to help him check the information. When the time comes, my mother will definitely not let me go. Laiwang
I'm afraid you're still waiting for news from me." Zhang Wenfang said.
"Is that so? I think you should stop contacting him. Otherwise, it will cause gossip, which will not be good for a girl like you. I will go over and tell him when I have a chance." Zhang Dajiang said.
"That won't work. I, Zhang Wenfang, am not such a person. It was me who came up with the idea. Now that people have listened to our idea and replaced the fertile farmland with barren hills, if I leave it alone, wouldn't I have tricked them?" Zhang Wenfang said.
.
"What can you do?" Zhang Dajiang was about to say more when he saw Du Dongmei walking in. He quickly stopped talking, took the novel over again, and started reading.
"Dajiang, you are a loser. You only know how to read those messy things. We haven't contacted Xiaoli for a few days, and you are not in a hurry. Aren't you afraid that the old Li family will really ask Xiaoli to find someone else?" Du Dongmei said.
"If Xiaoli is such a person, I have nothing to regret if she finds someone else." Zhang Dajiang said.
"Then you don't know how to call Xiaoli? Go to town to pick up some things and send them to Xiaoli's house tomorrow. Apologize well to your father-in-law and mother-in-law. See if you can bring Xiaoli to our house.
Chinese New Year." Du Dongmei said.
"Hey, I understand." Zhang Dajiang said.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and firecrackers sound from time to time in Zhaojiatun. Although the mountain temple is far away, it can still be vaguely heard.
There is not much difference between New Year and weekdays for Laiwang. There is a pair of couples posted on the door of the Shanshen Temple. The bright red color adds a sense of festive joy to the Shanshen Temple. This pair belongs to Zhao Shuliang's family.
Zhao Jingui took the rest of the post and sent it over. This kid has eaten a lot of yellow legs in Laiwang these days, and he and Laiwang have a bit of a heated fight.
"Come to Uncle Wang, come to Uncle Wang." Jin Gui jumped up the mountain again. He was holding a red plastic bag in his hand, which seemed to contain something. It must have been that Lai Wang gave a piece of wild food to Zhao Shuliang's family yesterday.
The pork was delivered to Laiwang today.
Lai Wang was watching the fire and looking at the red charcoal in the stove in a daze. When he heard Jin Gui's cry, he turned around and said with a smile, "Jin Gui, did you steal something from your grandfather again?"
"It's not stealing this time. I just made glutinous rice cakes, and grandpa asked me to bring you some hot ones to try, and then I'll bring them to you after the glutinous rice cakes are dried," Jin Gui said.
"Then I have to try it." Lai Wang took the plastic bag from Jin Gui's hand, with a ball of glutinous rice cake inside.
When the glutinous rice cake has just been beaten and not yet shaped, it tastes much better than when it is made into glutinous rice cake and then baked. Villagers like to eat it.
"Just now I mentioned that Uncle Wang also likes to eat it. Then my grandpa asked me to serve it." Jin Gui said taking credit.
"Well, we, Jin Gui, are the only ones who still remember uncle. Later, uncle will prepare delicious food for Jin Gui. Come, let's eat glutinous rice cake with uncle first." Lai Wang said with a smile.
"Woof woof." Laifu came back and barked in the yard.
"Laifu is back." Jin Gui ran outside.
Lai Wang quickly hugged Jin Gui, while Lai Fu was followed by several big green wolves.
"Uncle Laiwang, please let me down. I'm going to play with Laifu." Jin Gui kept struggling in Laiwang's hands.
"No need to go out, Laifu will come in by himself later," Lai Wang said.
With that said, Lai Wang shouted outside, "Laifu, come here!"
After a while, Laifu jumped out from outside. When he saw Jingui, Laifu was very excited and shouted at Jingui several times. Jingui jumped out of Laiwang's hands and hugged Laiwang with both hands.
