Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

Chapter 196: Family affairs

Lunar calendar, August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhang Qianxiu's family had dinner and drove straight to Jiuniu'ao. Today, he is going to send his grandfather off the festival.

Hu Jinsong has been studying the opening of a store these days, and he is almost about to fall in love with Zhang Qianxiu’s family. He just greeted Zhang Qianxiu’s family and sat down, and he took Zhang Qianxiu to chat, "Xiaoxiu, I’m thinking about opening a store in two days. You know what happened in my house." , If you have less money, you can also get a little bit of iron, but it’s definitely not enough to open a shop.”

"Uncle, I understand this. I said before. If you want to open a store, I will help you pay for all the expenses. As for the rice, take it from me first. I will make a few cents and wait for you to sell it. After that, just give me money." Zhang Qianxiu said.

Hu Jinsong said with some embarrassment: "After all, this is for you to pay a lot of money."

"Uncle, you are just being polite. They are all a family. When our family is in trouble, you and your aunt have been trying their best to help us. I was lucky enough to make some money to help you a little bit. It's not a big deal." Zhang Qianxiu was still grateful to his uncle's family, who had helped a lot in the previous life.

Hu Jinsong nodded: "Yes, it's all a family."

After having lunch at Hu Jinsong's house, and while resting and chatting, Hu Shanshan found an opportunity, took Zhang Qianxiu and went out: "Brother, let's go out to play."

Upon seeing this, Cao Chunyan hurriedly shouted: "You dead girl, let your brother buy you food again, right?"

Hu Shanshan suddenly froze.

Zhang Qianxiu smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, aunt, Shanshan and I will go for a walk."

"Xiao Xiu, don't get used to her, she will think of you every day." Cao Chunyan said.

"That means we have a good relationship! It's okay, then Shanshan and I will go for a walk."

Zhang Qianxiu still has a lot of weight to speak now, and Cao Chunyan just talked about it, not really stopping him.

After going out, Hu Shanshan immediately became lively: "Brother, it's hello, my mother knows to talk about me every day."

"When you grow up, you won't be able to." Zhang Qianxiu said: "When I was a child, my parents talked about me too! Now your uncle often scolds me."

"Why would my uncle scold you? My dad always said, if I had a brother, you would be half capable. I was still talking about it last night." Hu Shanshan asked puzzledly.

Zhang Qianxiu thought for a while and said, "You will understand later."

Hu Shanshan didn't go anywhere else, pulling Zhang Qianxiu straight to Su Yuwei's house to buy things.

When Zhang Qianxiu passed by, there was only one old man staying at the shop. Su Yuwei and the others were not at home. They should have gone to the festival. The local customs, on August 13, 14 and 15 are all given away by their daughters to their natal family. Festival time.

"Grandpa San, buy things." Hu Shanshan said excitedly.

The old man smiled kindly and said, "Okay! What do you want to buy?"

Hu Shanshan said: "I want Jianlibao."

The old man smiled and said, "Okay! Take it yourself."

Hu Shanshan replied and went into the store to get food. Zhang Qianxiu found the opportunity and said hello to the old man: "Hello, Grandpa Su."

Needless to say, you all know that this person is Grandpa Su Yuwei.

Su Yuwei's grandfather is called Su Yiyun, and he is like his name "implication", he is a very connotative person.

Su Yiyun read poems and books, and was involved in the war era, but Su Yiyun did rear work, mainly dealing with documents, etc., and had never been on the battlefield.

After returning from the army, Su Yiyun became a teacher again.

Su Yiyun looked at Zhang Qianxiu with a smile, and said, "Lady, you are Zhang Qianxiu, right?"

Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "Yes, Grandpa Su."

"Okay!" Su Yiyun made a please gesture: "Sit down! Let's talk."

Zhang Qianxiu sat down respectfully.

Su Yiyun asked, "I call you Xiao Zhang, don't you mind?"

"Yes, Xiao Zhang or his name will do." Zhang Qianxiu said.

"Xiao Zhang, I heard that you are doing business in the county seat?" Su Yiyun asked.

"Yes, do a little business."

Su Yiyun said again: "I heard Berlin talk about you. Last night, when our family ate, I also talked about you."

"I heard that you and Weiwei are talking about boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

Zhang Qianxiu was taken aback, wondering how the news came out, didn't Su Yuwei explain it? Or is it that Su Yiyun is deceiving herself?

Zhang Qianxiu said, "No! But I think Weiwei is pretty good. If possible, I'm still willing to take care of her, but she still has some hesitations, and I understand."

Su Yiyun smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Zhang, in fact, Weiwei, that child, is really different to you and to others. She is very protective of you."

"Last night, Weiwei's mother was a little worried, afraid that you lied to her. Although Weiwei's girl has been denying the relationship between the two of you, as long as you say that you are not good, she will immediately refute and say Not that kind of person."

"You don't know, that kid would never refute others so fiercely."

Zhang Qianxiu was still very happy: "Weiwei is very gentle, and she doesn't feel too excited when she speaks."

"Yes!" Su Yiyun nodded and asked again: "Listen to Xiao Jiang, what kind of circuit are you going to make?"

"Integrated circuit, what I want to do is also called chip or CPU." Zhang Qianxiu explained.

"I don't understand this, but I heard that this thing is very powerful?" Su Yiyun asked.

Zhang Qianxiu nodded: "It's very powerful, just like the gunpowder of a gun. Without gunpowder, no matter what the gunpowder is, it's useless."

"I can understand what you said like this." Su Yiyun said with a smile.

Hu Shanshan had already picked things up at this time: "Grandpa San, I want these."

Su Yiyun glanced at it and nodded with a smile: "Okay, it's six yuan in total."

Zhang Qianxiu quickly counted the money, Su Yiyun did not refuse, and said, "Xiao Zhang, come to dinner tonight!"

Zhang Qianxiu thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Su, there may be no time tonight. Let me see if I have time tomorrow."

"also!"

After chatting with Su Yiyun for a while, Zhang Qianxiu got up to say goodbye, chatting with Su Yiyun, Zhang Qianxiu was still very stressed.

After all, Zhang Qianxiu wanted to abduct his granddaughter, and when he spoke, he was not so arrogant, but he felt like being "investigated".

On the way home, Hu Shanshan asked, "Brother, are you getting married with Weiwei?"

Zhang Qianxiu lightly patted the following Hu Shanshan on the head: "You know."

"I listened to my dad. I heard what you said to Grandpa San just now." Hu Shanshan followed and made a certain judgment: "You must be getting married."

"Don't go out and talk nonsense!" Zhang Qianxiu exhorted: "When the time comes, your Wei Wei sister is not happy, so be careful of you."

"As long as you don't hit me, Sister Weiwei won't hit me." Hu Shanshan said confidently.

Zhang Qianxiu smiled softly: "Then I will smoke you."

"You still said you wouldn't marry Sister Weiwei, you are helping her right now." Hu Shanshan said ghostly while eating snacks.

In the afternoon, Zhang Qianxiu drove to the town. Today, during the festival, he always has to visit his grandfather and second uncle.

The second uncle Zhang Yongsheng started a small business in the town and opened a noodle restaurant. The business was pretty good.

When Zhang Qianxiu and the others came, business in the store was pretty good.

The second aunt's name is Liu Xiuzhen. She is not very healthy and can't do much heavy work.

Zhang Yongsheng saw Zhang Qianxiu's family coming, and quickly put aside his work: "Boss, sister-in-law, minor repair."

Zhang Aibing looked at the people in the store and said with a smile: "Second, your business is pretty good!"

"It's just to make ends meet. There are a lot of people coming out this holiday season." Zhang Yongsheng said: "Go and sit inside first. I'll close the door later."

Hu Jin'e hurriedly said: "Second, we are here to see you, it is important to do business."

"It's okay, you can't be hungry if you don't do it for a day." Zhang Yongsheng said with a smile.

After passing the storefront and kitchen outside, there are two houses inside.

It's rare for a family to get together, but it's natural to have a lot to talk about when we get together during the festive season.

Zhang Yongsheng waited for the guests to leave and closed the door.

During dinner in the afternoon, Grandpa Zhang Jingshan suddenly said, "Xiaoxiu, I heard that you made a lot of money in business?"

Zhang Qianxiu hadn't talked much before, and when he started talking about this, he said, "The business is okay, I have made some money."

Zhang Jingshan said: "Your second uncle doesn't use the money very much these days, or you can lend him a little to make him easier."

Zhang Qianxiu naturally had no opinion. Although the second uncle did not help his family in the previous life, it was because his life was not good. He would treat his second aunt if he made a little money, but the second uncle never gave it to him. My own family is holding back: "There is no problem with this."

Zhang Yongsheng was a little embarrassed at this time: "Xiao Xiu, don't worry, I will pay you back immediately when my turnover is over."

"Okay, how much do you want, Second Uncle?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

"Five hundred!" Zhang Yongsheng said a number.

Five hundred yuan is not a small figure for ordinary people today, but it is naturally not a problem for Zhang Qianxiu. There is exactly six hundred whole money in his pocket, so he simply gave it all at once to the second uncle: " Second Uncle, six hundred here, you can use it first."

Zhang Yongsheng accepted the money and thanked him again and again: "Okay, six hundred, up to one year, I will pay you back."

"Okay!" Zhang Qianxiu responded. It doesn't matter if the six hundred dollars is still paid, but Zhang Qianxiu didn't plan to say no to pay it back. The main reason was that there would be "Sheng Mi Enhancing Mi Enmity". unhappy.

The loan was settled, and Zhang Jingshan said: "Boss, we usually follow the second child, and the cost is not small, right? Would you like to give me a little living expenses in the future?"

Zhang Aibing was a little unhappy: "Dad, I will send it to you every year."

Zhang Jingshan said, "I will remember this for you, but we have to spend money too, don't we?"

Zhang Aibing said: "Dad, I send rice twice a year, and it adds up to a thousand catties. How can it be enough for both of you to eat? The second child basically doesn't care about your rice."

"And you are here, you also work for your second child, but I'm the only one at home, and you didn't do anything for me."

Zhang Jingshan suddenly said nothing.

Zhang Qianxiu knew that the annual rice in the family would be used to pay the agricultural tax first, and the agricultural tax would be refunded if he used the second rice to pay the agricultural tax.

After paying the agricultural tax, the rest of the better ones were sent to Erbo's house in the town, because Erbo couldn't grow rice in the town.

In the end, the remaining rice is kept for self-eating.

Regarding the issue of rice delivery, Hu Jin'e and Zhang Aibing had troubles, thinking that half of the good rice and half of the rice would be fine, but he couldn't bring all the good rice to Er Bo's family and eat the second rice at his own home.

Zhang Aibing insisted on giving it away, so he persisted.

Also because of the rice delivery problem, Zhang Aibing thought he had a clear conscience for his parents.

Hu Jine and Zhang Aibing share the same idea on this issue.

Zhang Qianxiu said, "Dad, grandpa does spend money in town."

Zhang Aibing was unhappy, and said, "I said it was done at the beginning. I am responsible for your grandparents' meals. Your second uncle is responsible for the food and peace expenses of the two elders. We will share the treatment with the two of us."

"Two old people eat two catties of rice a day, only 700 catties a year, and the remaining two hundred catties of rice, if you sell them, why do you have to sell them for hundreds of dollars? Then count it as your grandparents. Seeing a doctor."

"Your grandparents haven't had any serious illnesses over the years. A few hundred dollars a year is not enough?"

This was Zhang Aibing's heart. After doing so, Zhang Yongsheng immediately said: "Boss, Dad just said, don't take it to your heart."

Zhang Aibing did not say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Zhang Qianxiu originally wanted to make the decision by himself and give his grandparents a little living expenses for a month, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

The reason is actually very simple. I spoke up. When the time comes, all the good things will be his grandson, and his father will most likely be said to be useless, he is a white-eyed wolf.

Because of the money issue, the atmosphere was a little dull and everyone didn't speak much.

Zhang Qianxiu tried to talk about a few topics in the village, but Zhang Aibing turned around and talked about the topic to death.

Until the time I left, the atmosphere did not ease.

It was already dark when Er Bona left, and Zhang Qianxiu dared not drive too fast: "Dad, grandpa's alimony issue, you can think about it again. It's okay to give some money."

"You have a lot of money, do you give it?" Zhang Aibing said dissatisfied.

Zhang Qianxiu felt helpless: "Dad, although our family is not rich and expensive now, it is still possible to give grandparents a little alimony a year. It is a matter of course to support the parents!"

Zhang Aibing said frankly: "I raised it, why didn't I raise it? Let your grandparents go back to the countryside, your second uncle will give me 700 catties of rice a year, 50 yuan, as long as I don’t get sick in the hospital, I don’t need him. Regardless, your grandparents don't have to do heavy work at home, just cook for us."

"I give one thousand catties of rice a year, but it is much lower than my request. You see if your second uncle is willing to let your grandparents come back, he must be unwilling."

"Don't say anything else, I produce a thousand catties of rice a year, and your uncle produces a thousand catties of rice a year. Your grandparents live by themselves, and you don't know where to live happier than now."

"Your second uncle didn't spend any money on your grandparents. Instead, your grandparents helped him a lot. Your grandparents are facing your second uncle, you know?"

What Zhang Aibing said is the truth. If the two elderly people have two thousand catties of rice a year, if they eat only seven or eight hundred catties a year, the two elderly people will be enough. The remaining one thousand catties can sell for three to four hundred yuan. Money, and then go back to live in the countryside, grow some greens in the vegetable garden next to the house, raise a pig, and raise some chickens and ducks, which is better than 99% of rural elderly people.

"Dad! Supporting parents is not counted like this. The old people are doing filial piety, not who pays more than their brothers, who gets more." Zhang Qianxiu also felt a little helpless in his heart.

Hu Jin'e said at this time: "Minor repair, your dad is right about this. Your second uncle's family basically doesn't need to buy rice for a year, it's all from our family."

"Although it is justified to care for the elderly, we can't suffer dumb losses."

Zhang Qianxiu was silent for a while, and said, "Dad and mom, doing business and settle accounts with outsiders. That's the calculation. But if the elderly do the calculation like this, then something is wrong. Our family is not short of money now, neither are you. I hope that when I support you in the future, I will count how much you spent on me, right?"

Zhang Aibing and Hu Jin'e were both silent at once.

This is related to the issue of old-age care in the future, and it must be impossible for both of them to say so easily.

"Dad, give grandparents one hundred yuan a month. I will pay this money and give it in your name. How about?" Zhang Qianxiu said again.

Zhang Aibing finally let go at this time and said, "One hundred is too much. I don't make one hundred a month now. Give your grandparents one hundred yuan. Will it all fall into your second uncle's pocket by then? "

Zhang Qianxiu sighed and said, "Are these issues so important? We give the money to grandparents and grandparents. How do they spend it? That's their freedom."

"If we can't make money now, we really have to care about it, but now one hundred yuan is not a big problem for us."

Hu Jin'e said: "Give fifty dollars a month! This is already very high. Look at the village. Who can give the elderly fifty dollars a month?"

Zhang Qianxiu didn't bother to care about this, anyway, grandparents are still healthy, and the money they gave was indeed given to the second uncle. The money they gave, the grandparents only received their hearts, and they didn't get any benefits at all.

"Let's do it!" Zhang Qianxiu said, "When you have time, Dad will go to town and send the money to Grandpa."

"All right!" Zhang Aibing said dryly.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I returned to the village, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
