Chapter 322 The Zhang brothers returned to their village in glory!
At around one o'clock at noon, the two Zhang brothers led the family and finally returned to Zhangjia Village. Zhang Dalin looked at the village in front of him where he had lived for more than 20 years and couldn't help but sigh: " Dad! This ride is fast. It’s just noon. Let’s go. We're already home."
"Isn't it nice that your cousin can pay more than four yuan for the fare when we come back?" Zhang Guomin heard what his son said. , glared at him angrily, and scolded him.
When Zhang Xiaolin heard what his father said, he thought of the buns that Jia Dongming bought for them before coming back. He immediately smiled and said to Zhang Guomin: "Dad! Although we came back by car, we still have to walk from the commune to our village. , walked for more than two hours, and the meal I had at my aunt’s house in the morning has long been consumed. You see Let’s see if we can take out the buns my cousin bought and share them with everyone.”
Hearing Zhang Xiaolin’s proposal, Zhang Guomin immediately guessed Zhang Xiaolin’s plan and scolded Zhang Xiaolin with a look of dissatisfaction. : "You brat! What are you showing off to? If you want to eat steamed buns, wait until you get home."
Zhang Xiaolin instinctively shrank his head when he heard Zhang Guomin's reprimand, and then he didn't dare to say a word again.
“Brother Guomin! Are you back from the city?” As soon as the Zhang family walked into the village, they met several villagers. One of the villagers saw the Zhang family and immediately stepped forward to tell Zhang Nationals say hello.
When Zhang Guozhu saw several villagers coming towards him, he immediately took out the Daqianmen cigarettes given to him by Jia Dongming from his pocket. While sharing the cigarettes with the three of them, he asked them in a showy manner: "Cathay! Guoqi! Guoqiang! Where are you going?"
The three of them saw expressions of surprise on their faces when they saw the Daqianmen cigarettes that Zhang Guozhu took out from his pocket. Zhang Guoqi stretched out his hand took the cigarette , brought it to his nose, took a sniff, and joked to Zhang Guozhu with a smile: "Guozhu! When you entered the city, you changed your shotgun for a cannon. You even locked the front door."
Zhang Guozhu heard Zhao Guoqi inquiry , took out matches and first lit cigarettes for the three of them, then lit one for himself, and replied with a proud look on his face: "This is a tribute from my nephew. I said no, but he insisted on giving it to me."< br>
When Zhang Guotai heard Zhang Guozhu's words and saw Zhang Guozhu's proud expression, he remembered what his mother-in-law said and quickly asked Zhang Guozhu: "Guozhu! I heard your sister-in-law say that when you enter the city this time, it's Cuihua." Sister invites you to go to the city to attend the wedding of her eldest son. Did you get lost when you were there?”
Hearing Zhang Guotai’s words, Zhang Guozhu thought of the process of Jia Dongming and Jia Zhang’s recognition, and Jia Dongming’s current identity, and introduced to the three of them with a proud look on his face. : "Cathay! You don't know something. My eldest nephew joined him after he got lost. When our party team came back from the army, they happened to be assigned to the compound where my sister lived, and then we met my sister."
Zhang Guotai couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard the situation introduced by Zhang Guozhu. : "Sister Cuihua is a blessed person. Now that your eldest nephew is back, she is also considered a lucky person. Yes, it’s a worry.”
“Uncle Cathay! My cousin is now the security section chief of the steel rolling mill, and his monthly salary is more than 100 yuan.” Zhang Xiaolin also likes to show off. After hearing Zhang Guotai's words, Zhang Guozhu immediately introduced him first before waiting for Zhang Guozhu to answer.
When Zhang Guoqi heard the situation introduced by Zhang Xiaolin, there was a surprised expression on his face, and he quickly confirmed to Zhang Guoqi: "Brother Guomin! Is what Xiaolin said true? The boss of Sister Cuihua's family is really The security section chief of the steel rolling mill? ”
"Guo Qi! This is absolutely true. My eldest nephew is not only the security section chief of the steel rolling mill, but also a cadre at the deputy department level. I heard he is as old as the director of our commune." Zhang Guozhu did not wait for Zhang Guozhu. Guo Guomin answered, telling the three people present Jia Dongming's rank with a proud look on his face.
The three people present did not know what the deputy director level was, but they knew more or less how powerful the commune director was. When the three people learned about Jia Dongming’s level, they actually The same news as the director of the commune showed shocked expressions on all their faces. Zhang Guoqiang heard the situation introduced by Zhang Xiaolin and learned that Jia Dongming was at the same level as the commune director. He remembered the life that Jia Zhang had lived in the past few years, and said to Zhang Guoqiang: "Brother Guohua! In the past few years, Sister Cuihua had no quota. Because of that, her life was very hard. Now her family The boss came back and became a leader. Sister Cuihua finally has hope for the future."
Hearing Zhang Guoqiang's emotion, Zhang Xiaolin thought of the past two days at Jia's house. The kind of life that I live with coexistence of joy and pain, I can’t help but speak Said: "Uncle Guoqiang! When we go to my aunt's house this time, not only can we eat with open stomachs, but we can also eat meat and wine every time. But my stomach is not good enough. After eating here, I keep going to the toilet over there. Run away and the meat my cousin bought will be wasted.”
Although. Although the famine period has passed, it is almost impossible to have a full meal in the countryside. When the three of them learned that the Zhang family had entered the city, they were not only able to eat with open stomachs, but also had meat and wine every meal. News, everyone's face showed an expression of envy.
Zhang Guomin is not a person who likes to show off. When he saw the behavior of his younger brother and youngest son, although he didn't have any reaction on the surface, he was very dissatisfied in his heart. Seeing the envious expressions of the three of them, Zhang Guomin said: " Guoqiang! Guoqi! Cathay! We have been traveling all morning and we haven’t had lunch yet, so I won’t talk to you.”
Zhang Guotai was about to hear what Zhang Guomin said. When saying goodbye to Zhang Guomin, he suddenly found the cloth bag in the palm of Zhang Guomin's wife, and he couldn't help but blurt out to Zhang Guomin and asked: "Brother Guomin! Sister-in-law, this bag is not filled with cloth, right?"
< br>Due to the lack of supplies, farmers were so poor that they had no clothes to wear and could only wear a torn sack. Some families only had one pair of trousers for a family of three, so cloth was a very scarce commodity in rural areas.
Zhang Guomin, who has always kept his wealth private, heard Zhang Guotai's inquiry and was about to deny it, but Zhang Guozhu on the side responded first: "Brother Guotai! My nephew saw it at home. The child doesn’t have any decent clothes, so My brother and I were given a piece of cloth for each family.”
“Originally, my brother and I didn’t intend to ask for it, but my nephew insisted on giving it to us. We two brothers really couldn’t resist my nephew. , I can only accept what he gave me.”
When Zhang Guomin heard Zhang Guozhu's words, he immediately realized that something was going to be bad. If no outsiders were present at this time, he would definitely give Zhang Guozhu a severe beating. He could only ignore the problem and said to the three of them: "Cathay! Cathay! Qi! Guoqiang! If you have anything to do, go ahead and go back.”
The three of them were just stunned. With his eyes on him, he led the young and old of the Zhang family towards his yard. After entering his yard, Zhang Guomin kicked Zhang Guozhu on the butt and yelled: "Guozhu! You need to take care of this thing. What did I tell you when I came back? How dare you turn a deaf ear to my words? Why are you showing off to the village? "
Zhang? When Guozhu heard Zhang Guomin's angry rebuke, he didn't realize how much trouble his actions just now would cause to their family. Instead, he replied angrily: "Brother! It's not like my eldest nephew has become a leader. Why can’t I say something shameful?”
When Zhang Guomin saw Zhang Guozhu, he still didn’t know where he was. He made a mistake, and his face immediately showed an expression of hatred for steel, and he cursed angrily: "Look! You don't have to wait until tomorrow, the people in the village will definitely know that when we come back with two pieces of cloth, we will definitely know it by then." Someone comes to our house and asks us to smooth out some fabric. Then I will see if it is even or uneven.”
