Chapter 608 Barbecue Party
After getting the new toy, Xiao Siqi immediately lost interest in other things.
Even Xiaohu, who usually likes to play with things, ignored him and focused all his attention on the new car he just got.
At the beginning, Zhang An and Chen Ze needed to use the remote control to control the start and stop of the vehicle, but after he drove the car around the yard several times, the little guy could drive normally on his own.
The little guy is quite smart and is no stranger to toy cars.
So when he sat in the only cab of the little jeep, it didn't take him long to master this new mount very skillfully.
It's just that it still lacks some heat when turning and turning around. However, this electric mount is different from the four-wheeled bicycle that Yan Qian sent before.
That four-wheeled bicycle used to be able to control its speed with its own feet, and it was easy to slow down when turning.
But this little jeep can't do it, because it is electric. If the little guy doesn't control it, the speed won't slow down at all.
So when turning in the yard, the speed did not slow down because the brakes were not applied, so the little guy suffered several losses.
But in the family, he has always been the boss and the second child. His temperament as the third child refuses to admit defeat at all, and he keeps trying to conquer this big guy who is not very obedient.
Not to mention, more practice in anything will be effective. With the unremitting efforts of the little guy, it only took half a day to really control this little jeep. .
Even if Zhang An and the others didn't care, he could still drive skillfully in the yard.
Seeing that the little guy has become a skilled driver, Zhang An felt very satisfied.
After all, later generations of netizens often say that if your driving skills are not up to par, you should avoid traveling to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. This is not just talk.
Today’s little guy can be considered as laying a solid foundation for driving when he grows up.
Then Zhang An ignored him and continued chatting with Chen Ze.
"Speaking of Lao Chen, what happened between you and Teacher Xiao Jiang? Why did you just leave and she also left the school?"
Jiang Qiong has not left the school since the end of last semester. At Qing Middle School, Zhang An didn't know about this at first, but he only found out later when he heard Su Ying talk about it.
After Zhang An found out, he almost thought that something happened between the two of them that led to this result.
However, the two parties involved were not here, so Zhang An couldn't find the answer even if he had a lot of questions.
Although Mr. Chen is still in the village, he has no nerve to go to the old man and ask such gossipy questions.
So now that the client, Chen Ze, is back, how can Zhang An endure it?
“Don’t make wild guesses, we are both fine. Let’s not say that grandpa is very satisfied with her. I have brought her home to meet my parents before. They both have no objections. How could anything happen? Question."
Seeing Zhang An's gossipy face, Chen Ze obviously guessed what he was thinking, so he rolled his eyes and said.
"But you also know the situation in our family. It doesn't matter now. When she gets married in the future, she will definitely not be able to continue to be a middle school teacher. She also knows this truth, so after the end of the last semester, she She went to study with me, and after she came back this time, she went home to be with her parents."
Afterwards, Chen Ze briefly talked about their recent situation in a few words.
"That's fine, I'm just worried about you. Think about it, you're not too young. It's not easy to meet Teacher Xiao Jiang. If we break up like this, who knows what will happen next for you, a tough tree? When will it bloom?"
As a good friend, Zhang An is really worried about Chen Ze.
It didn't matter before. Among them, Zhang Ping and Fatty were both unmarried like Chen Ze.
But things are different now. With Zhang Zilin's return, Fatty has become a married man, and Zhang Ping and Bai Xue are about to get engaged. The wedding date will be either the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
So among this circle of people, only Chen Ze is still single.
“Don’t worry, my parents will find a time to meet with her parents later, and the matter will be basically settled.”
Speaking of this, Chen Ze himself also He breathed a sigh of relief.
He really didn't have any thoughts before, but now, as all his friends around him get married and have children, his own mentality has changed a lot.
Whenever he saw Xiao Siqi and Ding Zizi babbling together, and Zhang An and Ding Yi talking about parenting together, he admitted that he was indeed a little envious. .
If he doesn't work harder at this time, he may not be able to get a word in when these people talk together as time goes by.
"That's good. I didn't want you to still be holding your son when I hold my grandson in my forties, hahaha."
Zhang An laughed and said, don't say that. , when he said this, he had a picture of himself.
“By the way, Zhang An, I have another idea when I come back this time. Can you help me refer to it?”
Chen Ze could only pretend not to hear what Zhang An said, and then started talking to him about business.
"Oh? What do you think, can you tell me?"
Seeing Chen Ze being serious for a rare moment, Zhang An stopped joking with him and said seriously.
"I can say that I have witnessed the development of your village in the past two years with my own eyes, so I am very optimistic about this place. When I come back this time, I plan to invest in a hotel here. What do you think?"
< br>Although Chen Ze is a child of a wealthy family, now that he is old, he will definitely no longer be able to idle around like before.
Especially after getting married, as a man with a small family, he needs a stable career.
Today, Ding Yi can have so many thriving supermarket chains, all because of Zhang An’s idea.
Chen Ze was one of the very few insiders about this matter at the time, so he came to Zhang An specifically for help this time.
After Zhang An heard the words, he did not answer immediately, but rubbed his chin and thought slowly.
“I think this is a good idea and I can give it a try.”
After thinking carefully about the salary, Zhang An spoke to Chen Ze seriously.
Although Hongyan Town is not a place with historical sites or natural scenic spots.
But from now on, the overall tourism industry will begin to develop from major famous scenic spots to rural nature tourism.
This is an inevitable development trend, because the domestic flow of people is too much.
After all, in later generations, whenever there was a three- to five-day long vacation, all scenic spots would be crowded with people. It seemed that traveling during the vacation was not about seeing the local scenery and features, but experiencing the local culture and customs. Used to admire the dense crowds of heads.
As the most populous country in the world, although there are many tourist attractions in the country, they simply cannot accommodate so many people.
This is also after more than 20 years, many places with little history but very natural scenery will suddenly emerge.
Today's Changqing is the latter. Although there are no traces of history, the continuous mountains and the unique river have surpassed most areas.
Especially because of the arrival of Zhang An himself, Zhang Jianwen has already started laying a solid foundation for this small mountain village in advance. Zhang An believes that as long as the whole village does not go astray in the general direction in the future, there will definitely be no problems.
So Zhang An is very optimistic about Chen Ze's idea, and it will also be a win-win idea.
After all, Hongyan Town is currently focusing on rural tourism. Although there are about a dozen hotels in the town, they cannot be compared with hotels.
"I feel relieved when you say that. I will go to Village Chief Lao Zhang to talk about this matter in the next two days. I may ask you to help if necessary."
Chen Ze felt relieved after hearing Zhang An's opinion. Before he came, he was afraid that Zhang An would shake his head after hearing this.
But this matter has just begun. Whether it can really be done, he has to talk to Zhang Jianwen himself.
After all, if you want to open a hotel, you will need a large space, which requires the approval of their village committee.
And after staying in Changqing for so long, he also knew that land was the top priority in Zhang Jianwen's heart.
Don’t you know how many people wanted to come to Changqing to buy land and build houses, but in the end only Li Hongbin and his family got their wish, and the others just went to Dongli Courtyard to rent houses.
"Go and talk to my uncle first, and we'll see what happens then."
Zhang An did not refuse. This is not a small matter for Changqing Village, even if Chen Ze didn't say anything, but Zhang An had a hunch that Zhang Jianwen would also come to him after he found out.
"By the way, it just so happens that you are back, and Lao Ding and the others are also here. When it gets dark at night, we will call everyone out to get together."
"Of course, you can arrange this."
Chen Ze readily agreed, he also had this idea.
After staying at Zhang An’s house for a long time, when it was time to eat, Chen Ze declined Zhang An’s family’s offer of food and went back to his home.
After all, their old man is here, and he hasn’t been back for a long time. He must go back to have dinner with him.
After dinner in the evening, it is not dark yet, but it has begun to get dusky. This is the characteristic of evening.
But at this time, Huang Ming’s family had already begun to move things to Niuguntang Bazi, which were all ingredients prepared for stringing skewers.
"Da Mingzi, leave a set for me tonight. We will go there when it gets dark."
Seeing Huang Ming, Zhang An said hello to him first.
Zhang An went to see it last night and felt that the atmosphere in Bazi at night was good, so he decided to book a place there.
"Okay, I promise to keep it for you, Brother An."
Huang Ming didn't say anything else. As long as Zhang An spoke, he would definitely agree.
Then Zhang An started shouting, including Li Hongbin, Ding Yi, Zhang Ping, and Wang Hua.
This is the advantage of National Day, everyone happens to be there.
Zhang An did not forget Zhou Yang, but he was too busy and had no time at all.
The business at their place has been booming these two days, and they have to wait until nine o'clock every night to close.
But everyone has nothing to do, and it's not far away anyway, so we go there early. Well, anyway, it’s quite comfortable to enjoy the breeze outside during this season.
"Brother An, you are here. Here, I have left a big set for you. It must be enough."
When Huang Ming saw Zhang An bringing people over, he immediately The barbecue grills, seats and benches were all moved out.
This set of barbecue grills is very large. The three of Zhang An and his family, plus Chen Ze, Zhang Ping and Wang Hua, not counting the two little guys Xiao Siqi and Ding Zijie, have a total of nine people. This large grill is just enough.
"Just leave us alone and go greet the other guests. We will do it ourselves."
Zhang An originally thought that his group had arrived quite early, but found that when they arrived at Bazi, ten people had already arrived. Several gangs of people.
At this moment, people have started to put things away and are starting to burn charcoal in the barbecue grill, so it looks like there is a curl of smoke here.
If it were indoors, with so many people together, it would probably become a mess.
But the dam is very flat. When the wind blows, all the fireworks are blown away immediately.
"That's it, I won't care about you. If you need anything, just call me."
Huang Ming was not polite to Zhang An. After setting the table, he went back to serve the other guests. Went to deliver something.
"Zhang An, please rest first. I won't be able to help you later, so let me light the fire."
When we started to light the fire for the grill, Chen Ze volunteered. , take over the job.
"Okay, then I'll let you come, but don't call me for support later when Xun's tears flow."
Hearing this, Zhang An directly handed over the lighter and something to make a fire.
"Hey, who are you looking down on? Now that I am no longer Wu Xia Amen, just look down on me."
Chen Ze said with confidence, now he has He is no longer the old young master who knows nothing. Although he is not as proficient as the people in the village when it comes to making fires and cooking, he can handle it easily without any problem.
After Zhang Ankong took action, he was not idle. He took some ingredients from Huang Ming's house and started to mix the barbecue sauce.
Although Huang Ming’s house has prepared ones that can be used immediately, he still likes the taste that he can make by himself.
"Hey Zhang An, why did you bring the camera here?"
At this time, Wang Hua saw the camera Zhang An brought.
“Last night when Lao Ding and I took two little guys out to play, we found that there were a lot of fireflies here. There must be some today too, so I brought them over by the way. I might be able to take a few pictures then. A nice night scene.”
After all, Zhang An personally directed tonight’s firefly night scene, so how could he not leave anything behind?
Although it is not as good as later generations to take out their mobile phones and post on WeChat Moments, it is still good to take a few photos and keep them as souvenirs for later.
"Well, yes, when we came out last night, there were a lot of fireflies here. They were very beautiful, just like stars. Many people wanted to catch them."
Ding Yi echoed, but he Without losing any composure, he said that he would catch him too.
Not long after Chen Ze lit the fire, the charcoal in the grill was burned and he could start grilling things.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the moon in the sky was not as bright as last night. Although there were many more stars, it was relatively dark tonight.
