Zhang Chi handed out all the things he had brought, but the focus was on what Brother Zhang Wen had given him.
"Why is this child spending this unjust money? Our health is very good. How are your uncle and aunt's health? How are Xiaowen and Xiaowu's work?" Zhang Jiaren asked Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi said: "Well, my mother-in-law and uncle are both in good health. They are still running the small restaurant and the business is very good. They are almost becoming time-honored brands in the small town. Brother Dawen is also very good. He is going to get married soon.
Brother Wu now has his own company, which is pretty good, and he's not like he was just messing around like before.
Everyone is waiting for you to go to my place and have a lot of fun together during the summer vacation this year."
"That's good, that's good," Zhang Jiaren said with a smile.
Zhang Chi remembered something and asked, "Sir, where can I borrow a car nearby?"
"Why are you borrowing the car?" Zhang Youpeng looked at his son curiously with a question on his face.
Zhang Chi said: "What else can I do? Of course I am going to pull beef. I asked someone to bring a batch of beef over. They were all slaughtered by my own cattle. They are probably going through customs now. I will pick up the beef in two days.
”.
Zhang Chi's beef is now in the gourd, but he can't say this, so he has to find an excuse to drive his car to pick up the beef on a suitable day.
Zhang Youpeng thought for a while and said: "Where can I borrow a car here? If you want to borrow a car, you can only borrow it from your sister's house. I will call you later to see when your sister is free."
"It needs something bigger, preferably a small truck," Zhang Chi said.
"Small truck? Your sister's house must not have one," Zhang Jiaren said.
Zhang Chi thought for a moment and asked: "Dad, don't you have a driver's license? How about I buy you a small truck to drive?"
"What are you going to do with that money? I'm not going anywhere, that is, I'm going to work in the company or something..."
After Zhang Chi heard this and looked at the expression on his father's face, he knew that his father was duplicitous. It's just a person who doesn't have a driver's license until he pays it back. If he has a driver's license and doesn't have a car to drive, his hands will definitely be itchy. The same is true for Zhang Youpeng.
Although he has never driven a car, he actually wants to, but he is afraid of damaging other people's cars by driving them.
Even when he was driving his daughter's car, he was cautious. After driving it a few times, he realized that he was worried about a collision and was so nervous that he might as well not drive it.
"Then it's decided, let's go look at the car tomorrow. Then I'll have a car to drive when I get home," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"No need to buy it, what are you buying that thing for? Our family doesn't usually go anywhere..." Li Xiumei said immediately.
Zhang Youpeng laughed and agreed with his wife's words.
Originally, Zhang Chi said this just as a word of mouth, but now looking at his father's appearance, he made up his mind to buy one. Dad wants a car, but it's just a son who doesn't have the ability. Why not give it to him now that he has the ability?
Dad is buying one. Besides, it will only cost 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars at most, so I can save a lot of money.
If you don't show your filial piety now, when will you show it? When the old man has no more things to do? Isn't that nonsense?
"Stop talking, let's go for a walk tomorrow and decide which one we like. I have the final say on this matter," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Li Xiumei said: "You kid, you spend money lavishly. How can you use this thing at home?"
At this time, Zhang Youpeng said in a low voice: "It's not impossible. Everyone nearby has a car, so it doesn't make sense that our family doesn't have one."
Li Xiumei's eyes widened: "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Zhang Youpeng remained silent, but a smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Chi said: "Okay, Mom, please stop talking. This matter is settled. Your son and I are making money. I can't afford it. A car worth more than 200,000 yuan is no problem at all."
"How can I let you pay? We will pay for it." Seeing her son's determination, Li Xiumei thought for a moment and said.
The four old people usually have little expenses at home, and all the meat and vegetables they eat are provided at home. Not to mention the small vegetable plot outside, the vegetables produced in the small vegetable garden on the side of the yard are enough to feed four people for a year.
Therefore, Zhang Youpeng and Li Xiumei saved almost every penny they earned from working in a nearby greenhouse. They originally wanted to use it for Zhang Chi when they got married, but now they saw that their son didn't seem to need it much, so they decided to use it.
Buy a car.
Zhang Chi patted his thigh: "No, no, keep your money and use it in case of any urgent need. I'll pay for the car."
Seeing what his mother wanted to say, Zhang Chi immediately said: "Mom, this matter has been settled. Otherwise, what are you going to do to raise your son? Why don't you just contribute at this time?"
"You kid!" Li Xiumei couldn't help her son, so she had to complain.
After deciding to buy a car, Zhang Youpeng took out his cell phone and started browsing the Internet.
Zhang Chi stretched out his head to take a look and asked, "Dad, you can do it. This net is much smoother than my uncle's."
"I don't know how long I've been watching him, but I finally saw him today," Li Xiumei said with a smile.
The family was talking about the car. Grandma Miao Guifang had already cooked the noodles. Instead of calling her grandson to go into the kitchen to eat, she took the noodle bowl directly into the main room.
"Xiumei, open the door quickly"
The old lady stood at the door and shouted to her daughter-in-law to open the door.
When Zhang Chi saw it, he immediately stood up and trotted ahead of his mother to open the door for grandma.
"Grandma, you are feeding pigs!"
Zhang Chi was a little dumbfounded when he saw the noodles that grandma had given him, because he saw grandma directly holding a soup basin.
What a big bowl of noodles!
Zhang Chi estimated that two people like him would be enough to eat. The mouth of the large soup basin was about twenty centimeters in diameter and about ten centimeters deep. Think about it, there was half a bowl of noodles left in such a big thing, at least.
Only half a pound of noodles can cook so much.
In addition to the noodles, there are also pork liver, belly, two poached eggs, and the most important thing is the chicken nuggets, which are so full that they almost pile up on the noodles.
And it was all good meat with meat. Just by taking a glance, Zhang Chi found that the two thighs of the chicken were probably all there. In addition to the two chicken thighs, there was also breast meat. As for the chicken head and neck, there was nothing like it.
I didn’t see it, it’s like the dead chicken didn’t grow that thing.
"Eat slowly, a big young man can't finish this little thing?"
Miao Guifang said with a smile.
Li Xiumei took one look and said to her son: "Your mother can't wait to pile all the edible food in the house into a bowl. Eat it quickly."
Zhang Chi reached out and took the bowl, carried it into the house, found a small bench and sat down, used a long bench at home as a table, put the soup basin on it, and started sucking.
To be honest, grandma's noodles are of average quality, but this kind of noodles is half about the taste, and half is about the old man's love for his grandson. If you put the two together, it is the most delicious thing in the world.
A bowl of noodles evoked Zhang Chi's taste memories from his childhood, and as soon as he took his mouth, he felt a sense of home coming through his mouth.
Suck it, suck it!
Zhang Chi took two sips in a row and couldn't help but praise: "Grandma, your noodle cooking skills are as high as several floors. If you work in a restaurant, you must queue up every day...".
"If you like, eat more. If you want some garlic, I'll get you two garlics."
When her grandson said the noodles were delicious, Miao Guifang's eyes almost narrowed into slits when she smiled.
Turning around, she went to the kitchen to get a piece of garlic. The old lady pulled up a small stool and sat next to her grandson. She began to help Zhang Chi peel the garlic. After the garlic was done, she put it in her grandson's bowl and continued to carefully peel off a piece of garlic.
While peeling the garlic, he looked at his grandson who was devouring it with a smile.
The old lady peeled the garlic very carefully, and the garlic was not damaged at all. She seemed to be afraid that the garlic would taste bad and not worthy of being eaten by her sweet grandson.
"There's a lot of noodles!" Zhang Chi said.
There is indeed a lot of noodles in the bowl. Just half a pound of noodles is enough for one person, not to mention there are so many side dishes that are all anti-hunger items.
Grandma smiled and said: "Silly boy, if you can't eat the noodles, don't eat it. I'll give it to your father later, and you can just eat meat."
For a grandma, it is not appropriate to give the leftovers of her grandson to her son. It is also a pet peeve, but it is fine to give to her husband. If you, an old fellow, don’t eat the leftovers of your grandson, do you want to rebel?
Zhang Chi smiled after hearing this and continued to suck the noodles.
Now Zhang Chi is feeling how grandma thinks you are hungry. In order to show that the noodles made by grandma are delicious, he, as a grandson, naturally has to eat a lot, otherwise he will not be able to show his filial piety!
However, there was really too much noodles, and Zhang Chi couldn't hold it together even if he had two stomachs, so his stomach was full, and there was still half of the noodles in the bowl, half noodles and half meat.
"Milk, I really couldn't eat it anymore. I ate some while I was in Shanghai in the afternoon," Zhang Chi said.
When Miao Guifang heard this, she immediately said: "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Don't force yourself to hold on."
Miao Guifang stood up and put her grandson's remaining half bowl of noodles on the table.
Zhang Chi originally thought that grandma was going to feed grandpa, but who knew that the old lady turned around and went into the kitchen, brought a small bowl over, picked up the good meat, put on a pair of chopsticks, handed the small bowl with the meat to his son, and the rest
A few noodle bowls with pork liver, skin and tripe were passed to her husband Zhang Jiaren.
"As you get older, it's not healthy to eat less meat."
After the old lady said this to her wife, she then said to her son: "That's yours. Eat it. Don't throw any leftovers into the pot tomorrow. It won't taste good after two times of cooking."
Zhang Jiaren and Zhang Youpeng, father and son, didn't say much. They each took their own bowls and started eating. This kind of thing is normal operation, and eight out of ten restaurants in the neighborhood are like this.
At this time, the old lady turned around and went into the house, took out two pieces of pastry, and gave the big piece to her daughter-in-law: "Xiumei, let's eat some too."
"Mom, I really can't eat anymore." Li Xiumei was really full. She looked at the cakes handed over by her mother-in-law and said with a wry smile.
"Eat some cushion and sleep later."
I don’t know if it’s a theory invented by the old lady herself. Eat something to cushion your sleep?
"Mom, people say eat less before going to bed, so you'd better get something to cushion your bed," Li Toomei said jokingly.
Miao Guifang curled her lips and said: "Few people who say this can live longer than me. That health expert died in his forties. I am still alive and well and can do heavy work."
Now it's better, the family has another midnight snack together.
Not only people, but also the dogs in the yard had something to eat tonight. Zhang Youpeng chewed off a few bones and threw them into the yard, which was considered as extra food for the dogs.
After eating, Li Xiumei and Miao Guifang tried on the coat that Zhang Chi had brought back, and looked at it happily in the mirror. In the end, they themselves were not satisfied with it, so they pulled Zhang Youpeng and Zhang Jiaren to try it on.
They talk about spending money, but it's so happy when they try on clothes one by one. Zhang Chi is responsible for praising her good looks at the moment. As for anything else, that's definitely not the case.
The size of a coat is not so particular, as long as it is not too small, it will be fine.
