Aunt Li took a closer look and said, "Hey, isn't this a boy from the Zhang family?
"Xiaoyu?"
"It's me, aunt."
Aunt Li looked at the brand-new 28-meter bar. There were several kilograms of meat hanging on the handlebars, and there was a cloth bag on the back seat, which was probably fine grain.
"Xiaoyu, you are so prosperous that you can even ride a bicycle!"
What we want is this effect. When we go home, we must look more beautiful.
Aunt Li is also a loudspeaker with a radius of hundreds of miles. As long as she knows something, it will not take half a day to spread throughout the village.
"Haha, I'm doing pretty well. This is a reward given to me by the factory."
"I won't disturb you anymore. I'm in a hurry to go home. Auntie is gone."
The effect has been achieved, Zhang Yu did not stay any longer, said hello, got on the car and rushed home.
Zhang Yu's family is located in the northernmost part of the village, next to the village's water canal. The Zhang family is not considered a big family in the village. I heard from my grandfather that his brother participated in the war and was later liberated and went to the south with the army.<
/p>
After so many years, there has been no correspondence and contact has long been severed. The common surname of this village is Li. The name of the village sums up the whole village very well, and it is called Lijiazhuang.
In this village, in addition to the Zhang family, there are also people surnamed Hu, people surnamed Sun, and people surnamed Dou. They are all small families. Through the efforts of two or three generations, it can be considered that Lijiazhuang has flourished.<
/p>
Zhang Yu was riding a bicycle on the village road, and all the gentlemen, young wives, and children wearing crotchless pants looked at him with envy.
Everyone was talking a lot, guessing whose child this was. Not only was he handsome, but he was also so capable. The bicycle looked like it was 100 percent new.
At the moment, Zhang’s mother is chatting with the old women nearby. She is a short-sighted person.
Zhang’s mother looked at Zhang Yu with a puzzled look on her face.
Suddenly reacted.
"Son! Is my son really you?"
Zhang's mother was so excited that she grabbed Zhang Yu's arm and asked in disbelief.
Excited tears flowed down my cheeks.
"Mom, you read that right, it's me. Come on, I'll take you home."
"Hey, good, good, good, my son has a future."
Zhang Ma quickly got on the back seat and hugged Zhang Yu hard. She didn't care what to say to those old ladies and urged Zhang Yu to leave quickly.
Zhang Yu and the aunts said polite greetings and drove straight to their homes.
The aunts at the back pointed at Zhang Yu and chattered, discussing how promising Zhang Yu was.
"Zhi"
The car stopped in front of her house, but Zhang Ma had no intention of getting out of the car.
"Mom, we're all home. Come on down and let's push the car in."
Zhang's mother reluctantly came down and helped Zhang Yu lift the car over the threshold.
"Xiaoyu, please park the car in the west room. Such a new car will rust if it is exposed to snow."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"By the way, mom, isn't dad at home?"
Speaking of this, Zhang's mother got angry. Now it's snowing and the work of the brigade has stopped. Zhang's father started to touch the wine bottles when he got up. He couldn't drink at home, so he gathered with the brothers in the village to drink. "When he is at home, the sun is rising from the west. And your brother, that bastard, is just drinking like your dad. If you don't drink for a day, the wine bug in your stomach will be so greedy." p>
Zhang Yu ordered the car and held Zhang's mother's shoulders.
"Okay, my dear mother, please stop being angry."
"Look what I brought to my family, five pounds of meat and a bag of white flour. Our family will have a good year this year."
Zhang Yu put his arm around Zhang Ma's shoulders, pointed at the supplies on the bicycle, and said proudly.
"Mother, mother?"
"Are you back? Why do I hear the sound of bicycles?"
Zhang Yu's sister, who had just been packing her things in the house, heard the tinkling of bells in the patio, so she put down what she was doing and came out to take a look.
"Sister."
My sister subconsciously glanced towards the west room in search of the sound, and pointed at Zhang Yu with a trembling voice.
"Xiaoyu, is this Xiaoyu?"
"Mom, is it really Xiaoyu?"
"Really!"
My sister was so excited that she threw herself into Zhang Yu's arms, crying and accusing Zhang Yu of being ruthless. It had been several years since she came back like this.
"You brat, you still know your home. You said that since you left, you don't even want your home anymore. Do you know that your sister misses you?"
My sister was so angry that she slapped Zhang Yu's arm hard to vent her dissatisfaction.
Zhang Yu said nothing and allowed his sister to slap him. Zhang's mother was afraid of hurting Zhang Yu, so she stepped forward to stop her sister. Zhang Yu used his other arm to block Zhang's mother, but it didn't hurt.
After my sister vented her anger, she felt much better. She remembered that she had hit Zhang Yu so many times, and it must have hurt Zhang Yu.
"Xiaoyu, sister, it hurts you. I, I, I will rub it for you."
"It doesn't hurt, no need to rub. I have thick skin and can withstand beatings, hehe."
"Sister, help me bring the things from the car into the house. This is what we will eat during the Chinese New Year."
Only then did my sister see the supplies on the bicycle and the pork belly on the handlebars. She swallowed with greed and even ignored the brand-new bicycle.
"Okay, okay, stop looking and get something quickly. You can't put it in your mouth even if you look at it."
My sister rolled her eyes at Zhang Yu and quietly underestimated in her heart, "I haven't seen meat for a long time and I can't look at it anymore.
No matter what I was thinking, I moved very quickly. I was holding it in my hands and in my arms, and I felt very energetic.
Zhang Yu didn't even carry a few things, and let his sister carry everything away.
Zhang Ma felt that it was no big deal that she had empty hands, as if she was taking something from Zhang Yu’s hand.
"Oh, my mother, you can get it with nothing. You don't need to carry it. I am a young man. It's not a big deal for me to carry such a small thing. Let's go quickly."
Zhang Yu took the lead, carrying things into the north room, sorting them into categories, putting food in the kitchen and things in the back room.
"Mom, sister, why don't you see your second sister at home?"
Zhang Yu put down his things and felt that there were a lot of people missing from the family. Not only his father and brother were not at home, but also his sister-in-law, nieces and nephews were not at home, and his second sister was not here either.
"My mother helped my second sister to find the person, and the matchmaker took her to meet him. I guess he will be back soon."
Zhang Yu calculated his age. The second sister is indeed old enough to get married. Zhang Yu is twenty. The eldest brother is ten years older than Zhang Yu. The second sister is four years older than Zhang Yu. The third sister is close to Zhang Yu in age, only one year apart.
.
"Second sister, whose child are you looking at?"
Zhang's mother pulled Zhang Yu to sit on the stool, and the third sister poured hot water for Zhang Yu.
"It's the third child of Wang Laowu's family in the next village."
"Oh, you are talking about Dayong, Brother Yong."
When I mention this person, my mind immediately comes to mind about his appearance and family conditions.
Dayong and Zhang Yu go to the same school, because the two villages are right next to each other, and they often go to and from school together.
Wang Dayong was three years older than Zhang Yu. He often took Zhang Yu with him, climbing up walls and houses, climbing trees to dig out bird eggs, and going down to the river to touch tortoises. However, it was only later that Zhang Yu entered the city that the two of them stopped interacting.
"Mom, brother Dayong is great. He is a man worth trusting. If my second sister finds such a man, she will be in a honeypot for the rest of her life."
Zhang Yu approves this marriage with both hands. He knows the tempers of both of them. If these two people can get together, they will be happy for a lifetime.
