Chapter 45 Going Home (Please recommend and collect)
After leaving the traditional Chinese medicine hall, Zhang An opened an account at a credit union and planned to deposit money into it.
Since there was only one postal savings bank in town besides the credit union, Zhang An only found one credit union after searching for a long time.
I plan to keep 10,000 yuan of my 50,000 yuan for emergencies and put the rest in the bank.
After everything was done, Zhang An still walked around the county town, but after walking around, he found that there was nothing he wanted to buy.
Finally, we returned to the passenger terminal. At four o'clock, the bus back to Hongyan Town set off.
Now Zhang An is no longer worried about the lack of money at home.
The ginseng plant planted in the space has grown a lot now.
Zhang An believes that it will not take long for the ginseng to bloom and set seeds, and then he will have a batch of ginseng in his hands.
But you can’t sell more of this thing. If you keep selling this thing, everyone will know that there is something wrong with you.
So selling one or two plants occasionally is enough.
On the way back, the driver knew that Zhang An was from Changqing Village.
So I dropped Zhang An off at the intersection instead of taking him to town.
Otherwise, it would be quite a long walk home from the town. From here, it only takes ten minutes to walk down the mountain road.
It was getting dark when we got home, and the two-hour journey was not that close.
Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo were standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the bridge at the entrance of the village.
Although they know what time the bus back leaves, they also remember the time Zhang An came home when he was in school.
But this time Zhang An was carrying something valuable, so he was still a little worried about something unexpected happening.
When they saw Zhang An walking to the mountain road opposite, the two of them felt relieved.
Wang Fang then turned around and went into the house to cook.
"dad."
"mom."
"I'm back."
When Zhang An went out, he told his second aunt and asked her to tell them that Zhang An had gone to the county.
"Just come back. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Wang Fang was cooking in the kitchen and responded when she heard Zhang An's words.
"Have you had a smooth journey?"
The father and son sat at the table and started chatting.
"It's nothing, it's just that I spent too much time on the way there, otherwise I would have come back a long time ago."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We're in the middle of a small mountain, and it's definitely far away from the county town."
After a while, Wang Fang had already cooked the dishes and served them.
Tonight there was fried bacon with bracken.
"Hey, I even picked bracken today."
Zhang An took a chopstick of bacon and bracken and put it into his mouth and chewed it. It had this texture, crispy and tender.
"When we went to the fields, we found that there were a lot of them growing in the woods, so we picked up a bunch of them and brought them back. They taste good these days, but they won't taste good after a few days when they get old."
"My mother's cooking is so delicious that I have to eat two more bowls of rice every meal."
After eating, Zhang An patted his belly. The bracken was too good for rice, so he couldn't hold back from eating it just now. He ate two more bowls of rice, and now his belly is a little bulging.
"Don't pat your belly after you've just eaten. I didn't teach you this when you were a kid. Isn't this delicious food made by me? Isn't it delicious fried with bracken and bacon?"
Wait until all the dishes and chopsticks on the table are cleared.
Zhang An took out his bankbook and gave it to his parents.
"I went to the county town today to sell ginseng. This ginseng is better and I received more money. I sold it for 50,000 yuan."
"I have deposited 40,000 yuan in the credit union. Please keep this passbook, Mom."
"Then I have 10,000 yuan with me, I will keep 5,000 with me, and you can keep the remaining 5,000 at home for later use."
Zhang An didn't beat around the bush and told his parents directly.
"What? Fifty thousand yuan? Sold for so much?"
Wang Fang excitedly took the bankbook and looked at the numbers on it carefully, but she was even more happy.
"I originally thought it was worth ten thousand yuan, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable. When your father and your second uncle sold it, it only cost two thousand yuan."
Zhang Jianguo still looks like that. No matter how shocking the incident is, his face remains unchanged. However, his body is shaking a little now, which still reveals his inner excitement.
"It's different, dad. My father's and his friends' money at that time was much more valuable than it is now, and the person who bought ginseng this time was the same person who used to sell ginseng. The second father asked me to go find him. People said
This one is much better than the previous ones, so it’s more valuable.”
Zhang Jianguo was fine, and he returned to normal after that period of time.
But Wang Fang has not calmed down yet. She is too excited now and wants to find someone to talk to, but she cannot tell others about this matter.
She took the passbook and the five thousand yuan and put them in the three-open cabinet, placed them on the bottom floor, and covered them with clothes and quilts.
She didn't fall asleep the whole night, and she didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
Even in the morning, it was Zhang Jianguo who lit the fire when he got up. This was the first time in so many years that Zhang An saw his mother not getting up in the morning.
It was still noon, when Zhang An was cooking, Wang Fang got up.
The reason why Zhang An does it is because Zhang Jianguo doesn't know how to cook, so every time Wang Fang is away or there is no one to cook, it is Zhang An who does it.
If Zhang Jianguo was left alone, he would just cook noodles.
Zhang An was forced to know how to cook. When he was a child, Wang Fang told him that he would not be able to find a wife if he could not cook. If he did not study hard, he would have to go home and farm.
But in the end, Zhang An discovered that if he didn't study hard, he wouldn't be able to plant anything.
After lunch, Zhang An went to his second grandfather's house with two bottles of wine.
Because I came back too late yesterday, I didn't go out.
"Second Grandma is drying pickled vegetables. These are pickled vegetables, right? The steamed bacon is delicious."
Pickled vegetables are the local name, and they are actually the plum vegetables in braised pork with plum vegetables.
It's pickled with ercai, which is a kind of vegetable. Zhang An doesn't know its specific name.
Because Ercai carried a lot of bags on her back, and the bags were hung on the vegetable poles like children one by one, so she was called Ercai.
"There are so many vegetables left in the field that we can't eat them all. It's a pity to leave them. So I cut them all back to make pickles. If your family doesn't have to cook them, just come here and eat them. I made a lot."
It is true that the second mistress made a lot, several sieves and dustpans were filled, and there were also bags to use as cushions for drying.
"My family hasn't made it yet. My mother should make some in the next few days. The vegetables in the vegetable field are growing so well."
Entering the house, the second grandfather was playing with herbs and saw Zhang An coming.
"Here he comes."
"Here we come, Second Grandpa."
Then Zhang An told Grandpa Second what happened yesterday at the Chinese Medicine Hall.
Mr. Zhang didn't have much reaction when he heard that ginseng was sold for 50,000 yuan.
"Now that the family is getting better and we have the conditions, An Wazi, we need to hurry up and find a wife. We should open up the branches of the old Zhang family as soon as possible. We can't be like your father and only have one child in the future."
Zhang An didn't expect that his second grandfather would say this, so he didn't even react.
"Second Grandpa, I'm not old enough to get married yet, so I'm not in a hurry."
"What's the matter? People who are younger than you in the village will run away now. Besides, you should find a virgin first and then get married when the time comes."
In the end, Zhang An could only bite the bullet and agree first, otherwise he would still be stubborn with the old man for a long time.
