Chapter 317 Yan Bugui comes to sell couplets door-to-door
In the early years, Mengxue always sent letters back early to tell her family that she was safe.
But this year, I still haven't received Mengxue's letter, and New Year's Eve is coming in three days, which makes Mengyi a little angry.
"Daughter-in-law, I think you are just too worried."
"Didn't I tell you?"
"Our factory has an office in the city where Mengxue is located. Last week, I asked Manager Sun to pay a special visit to Mengxue."
"I asked Manager Sun to secretly give Mengxue a thousand yuan, as well as some meat stamps, food stamps, cloth stamps, and a lot of pastries to share with her classmates during the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Yu was worried before that Mengxue would not be well fed or clothed over there, and worried that someone would bully her.
Manager Sun was specially asked to talk to the village cadres in the village and ask the village leaders to take more care of Mengxue.
"I know, you have helped Mengxue take care of everything inside and out."
"But, aren't we used to it?"
"In previous years, I would receive Mengxue's letter early. This year, it's almost the end of the year and I haven't received the letter yet. It's normal to be worried."
Zhang Yu didn't refute this. If it weren't for the office, Zhang Yu would probably be worried about Mengxue right now.
"Well, maybe the snow is heavy this year and the postman was delayed on the way!"
"Don't think so much. Let the children change their clothes. After I finish cleaning, we will go to my parents' house for dinner."
Although he kept talking, Zhang Yu's hands were not idle, and Mengyi continued to clean up, and almost every corner was cleaned.
Mengyi led the children back to the bedroom to change clothes.
Zhang Yu successfully completed the ending, found an unnecessary baggage, pocketed the garbage, carried it out of the courtyard, walked to a garbage dump at the entrance of the alley, and threw it away.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted something in the garbage pile.
Zhang Yu took a closer look and saw that it was a white porcelain earthen pot with a layer of sticky dirt covering the surface.
I found a stick nearby, picked up the garbage on the side of the jar, and reached out to lift the jar out.
Zhang Yu knows that these days, there are many old objects preserved.
However, Zhang Yu is not proficient in this area of knowledge, so Zhang Yu has not worked hard in this area.
Zhang Yu looked at the earthen jar in his hand and felt that it was probably an old object.
After pulling with a stick for a while, another dark wooden box was pulled out.
This knowledge has indeed touched upon Zhang Yu's blind spot, but the surface of the wooden box looks quite complete.
After making sure there was nothing else, Zhang Yu returned to the compound carrying the earthen pot and wooden box.
Before taking two steps, Yan Bugui ran out of the house.
"Director Zhang, Director Zhang."
Yan Bugui hurriedly came to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu had no choice but to stop.
"What's wrong, third uncle, what are you so worried about?"
Yan Bugui smiled sheepishly.
"Hehe, that's nothing."
"I'm planning to write a couplet right now. Do you need me to write one for you?"
Hey, this reminded Zhang Yu that he hadn't prepared the couplet yet.
"Okay, third uncle, you can also write one for me on New Year's Eve."
"I know your rules. I'll send them to you later."
Yan Bugui hurriedly came down.
"Hey, hey! Then thank you, Director Zhang."
Zhang Yu knew what Yan Bugui wanted, but Zhang Yu was not disgusted with Yan Bugui's behavior.
Zhang Yu admired Yan Bugui for using his own efforts in exchange for corresponding reports and being able to shamelessly sell his couplets door-to-door.
What Zhang Yu dislikes is the kind of bottomless demands like Qin Huairu's.
Of course, Zhang Yu would not deliberately say that Qin Huairu was shameless.
For whom did Qin Huairu act like this? For her own children, everyone can say that she is selfish, but the motherly love she gives her children is something that everyone admires.
After all, the ultimate goal of surviving in this era is to survive.
But Qin Huairu lacks the fighting spirit that should be expected in this era.
This era can be said to be the poorest era, and it can also be said to be the fairest era.
In this era, all efforts will be rewarded 100%.
So, Zhang Yu hates Qin Huairu precisely because of this.
I have seen the later generations, the era when people were exploited by so-called bosses for the sake of car rentals, marriage and children.
Qin Huairu's behavior made Zhang Yu very, very, very disgusted.
Zhang Yu returned home and put the earthen pot and wooden box in the corner.
I found a bag of peanuts with two kilograms left at home and took it to Yanbu Gui's house.
"Third uncle, I've put the peanut here for you. When you finish writing it, just post it for me and I'll come and get it."
Yan Bugui quickly took the peanut and kept thanking him.
"Hey, hey, hey! Thank you, Director Zhang."
"I will definitely write it down and post it to you as soon as possible."
"I'm sure to do it beautifully for you."
Zhang Yu was a little uncomfortable with Yan Bugui's enthusiasm.
"Third uncle, I can rest assured that you will do your job."
"Why didn't you see anyone else? Everyone went out?"
At this time, according to the inheritance of the old Yan family, shouldn't we stay at home and take food from Yan Bugui's hand? Why is there no one there?
Open whatever you want, when Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng push the door open and come in.
Yu Li saw Zhang Yu here and quickly said hello to Zhang Yu.
"Hey, we have a distinguished guest at home."
"Director Zhang, hello, welcome to our home."
"Hello."
"Is there something going on?"
Hearing Zhang Yu's question, Yu Li quickly answered.
"Yes, it's the end of the year, isn't it? I sent some New Year's goods to my parents' house."
Zhang Yu agrees very much with this. Being filial to your parents is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation.
"Oh, this is a good thing, this is what we should be as children."
"It's good to show your filial piety in front of the elderly."
"Old people have worked hard for their children all their lives. Now that they are able, they should take care of them more."
Hearing this, Yu Li could only smile awkwardly.
Yu Li was ashamed to open her mouth to talk about being capable.
Yan Jiecheng looked like he couldn't support the wall with mud, and Yu Li didn't hesitate to criticize him.
He is almost 30 years old, and he still licks his face and lives and eats with his parents.
The same goes for the elderly at home. They said it was food expenses, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they asked for more than half of Yan Jiecheng's salary.
If it weren't for Yan Jiecheng's incompetence, Yu Li would have already mobilized Yan Jie to form a family, so why would she still be here to suffer this anger?
Yu Li doesn't want to talk about this topic.
"Director Zhang, what do you want to do with my father?"
Zhang Yu heard Yu Li's stiff change of topic and immediately understood the topic, which pierced her heart.
"Oh, I came to see the third uncle for something, and I just finished talking."
"I won't keep that third uncle any longer, just remember it."
Looking at the family, Zhang Yu didn't want to spend too much time.
Mainly because I saw that Yan Bugui's face looked a little ugly.
Maybe it was because he heard that Yu Li sent New Year's goods to her parents' family, which made Yan Bugui feel a little emotional.
Yan Bugui saw that Zhang Yu was leaving, so he quickly sent Zhang Yu out.
Zhang Yu waved his hand and told Yan Bugui not to see him off. He told Yan Bugui to remember the couplet and turned back to the backyard.
