I'm not afraid to die
Zhang Feng didn’t think about what Yan Wenjin was asking for him. After I saw Sun Yan today, there are still many things that he needs to digest carefully. Although Sun Yan didn’t say much to him, it’s just like every word to him. Especially the four words presented at parting, he needs to carefully ponder the meaning of them, and deeply understand Sun Yan's meaning.
There was nothing special in the county in the past two days. After Zhang Feng signed the documents on the desktop that he needed to review, he checked that it was almost six o'clock, and then he packed up and went home. There was something in his mind, so he did not let Li Guan. Yu rearranged the car and walked slowly back down the street alone, browsing the Spring Festival couplets hanging everywhere on the street.
I don’t know when it started. Spring festival couplets were sold everywhere on the street during the Spring Festival. I remember that I used to buy red paper from my family, and then I asked people in the village to write them with a good brush. Of course, they were all free. You have to pay for ink and time, but people's economic awareness seems to have risen in the past few years. As long as they can exchange money, they can be put on the street.
As the New Year's Eve is approaching, even though it is already evening, the streets are still full of people. Zhang Feng walked along the road and looked at the Spring Festival couplets and portraits of various gods hanging on the roadside. It was also quite interesting. Yes, when I returned to Jinxiuyuan, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. I saw only the eldest sister Zhang Jing at home, and none of the others.
Zhang Feng took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He turned around and asked, "Sister, where are Wenwen and Zhang Yi?"
Zhang Jing put down the sweater she was knitting in her hand and stood up and said, "It's all out, haven't you eaten yet? I'll get it for you."
Zhang Feng said with an "um" and said, "Where is Qianxi? They also took it out?"
Zhang Jing went into the kitchen to feed Zhang Feng and said, "There is also Zhang Yuan, and they all went out with them."
Zhang Feng sat down in front of the sofa, lit a cigarette and said: "Zhang Yi got Zhang Yuan, it's really troublesome."
Dinner is ready-made, but it doesn’t cost much. During the New Year’s season, the ingredients stored at home are also extremely rich, but in a blink of an eye, Zhang Jing made a few dishes, as well as rice porridge and steamed buns, which helped to put them on the coffee table. , And then said: "You, Zhang Ke is Zhang Ke, what's the matter with Zhang Yuan, it's pitiful to leave the child alone in the country for the New Year."
Zhang Feng said as he ate, "Can Luo Village be considered a countryside? Some places are more fashionable than ready-made."
Zhang Jing said, "No matter how fashionable it is, it is an adult's business. What does it have to do with a child?"
Zhang Feng paused and said, "Sister, you have misunderstood what I meant. I am not dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan. We are all outside. If Zhang Yuan is not at home, you said that there will be more at home during this festival. What's the atmosphere? My parents are more upset, I'm afraid."
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and pondered: "Well, you are right, or else, we will all go to Luocun to celebrate the New Year?"
Zhang Feng curled his mouth and said, "Are you here specially waiting for me? Deliberately let them all go out?"
Zhang Jing said, "What nonsense, what am I waiting for you, it's mainly the mess in the street. I didn't go out when I looked upset."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "You and your brother-in-law won't go back to Fangzhuang for the New Year?"
Zhang Jing said, "Of course I have to go back. There are people at home to clean up, so we can go back tomorrow."
Zhang Feng sighed and said: "I know what you mean. I want me to take Zhang Yi and Wenwen back to Luo Village for the New Year. It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I don't want to breathe in the New Year. It makes everyone unhappy, too. I know, my parents and I have made the same appearance for the eldest brother's business. If we go back, our dad will bring it up again, what should I do?"
After a pause, without waiting for Zhang Jing to speak, Zhang Feng continued: "Even if parents don’t say anything, what about relatives and neighbors? They don’t care if it’s illegal, they only consider human relations, and think that something has happened to my eldest brother. As a brother, I should do my best to rescue him, because I am still the deputy secretary of the county party committee and have power in my hands.
Zhang Jing had nothing to say when she heard this. What Zhang Feng said is the truth. She has not been back to Luocun for a few days. She has heard everything Zhang Feng said, and Zhang Songjie has not only put Zhang Ke’s store in the market. After the redemption, the pharmacy in the town has also been transferred to others. If it weren't for the New Year, I'm afraid the ancestral house will also be handed over to others.
Zhang Jing hasn’t told Zhang Feng about these words. She doesn’t know how to speak. Because of Zhang Songjie’s actions, Luo Cun doesn’t know how many people are talking secretly behind the scenes, saying everything, and all of them are accusing Zhang Feng of this. When the brothers are ruthless and unrighteous, not many people mention Zhang Ke and Wang Hui's sale of fake cigarettes and wine.
Zhang Jing was both angry and helpless for what she did to her father. Today she persuaded Zhang Feng to return to Luo Village for the New Year. She also hesitated for a long time, not for anything else, because the ancestral house Zhang Songjie has already been sold, and she will be with you in the next year Human delivery, this year is the last time to celebrate the New Year in the ancestral house, but Zhang Jing doesn't know how to talk to Zhang Feng.
Putting down the tableware and chopsticks, Zhang Feng was stunned to see the eldest sister sitting there. He shook his head, took out a cigarette, and after taking two puffs, stood up and cleaned up the tableware. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Zhang Jing's face. Not very good-looking, he couldn't help but said: "Sister, is it uncomfortable somewhere? I'll help you see."
Zhang Jing sighed and waved his hand: "It's okay, A Feng," he said after a short pause: "A Feng, sister tell you something."
Zhang Feng said: "Let’s go ahead, I’m listening, sister, you will have an operation in the next year. You can’t have too much mood swings during this period. That’s not good for the operation. Also, the medicines that were given to you last time. ,any left?"
Zhang Jing said, "Sister is okay, there are medicines, don’t worry," he sighed after hesitating for a while, "I have been back twice in the past few days, and my dad has already sold out Zhang Ke’s store and house. The drug store in the town was also delivered yesterday, but there is still a big gap between the money and Zhang Ke’s fine."
Zhang Feng had anticipated this a long time ago, so he sat there and didn’t move. In his dream, his parents died in depression because he had traded the shop, but his mother died in depression, but this life was for Zhang Ke. In fact, in this world, he understands best. Parents thought, I am afraid that no one can match him. Zhang Feng doesn't have a painful medicine shop or even his ancestral home in his heart. It is his parents who feel sorry for him.
It’s not that he never thought of paying the fine and trying to get Zhang Ke and his wife out, but he knew Wang Hui’s disposition and knew that once he did that, not only would Wang Hui and his wife hate him for not helping each other early, or even asking for help. Let him go fishing for the three brothers of the Wang family. If he doesn't make a move, Zhang Ke and his wife will become enemies with him.
There is also the parents. If they can’t make them feel that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, they won’t wake up. If you stretch out your hand this time, there will definitely be another time. Maybe just this time, the parents will be farther and farther away from him. , It is possible to regard him as an enemy, that is really not thanking him.
Therefore, his intention is the same as what he said. When the family’s goods are sold out, let the eldest sister take her parents to Fangzhuang to talk about it. Only in this way can the parents feel that they are in the Zhang Ke couple. , They have done their best.
Therefore, after Zhang Jing said that the drug store had been sold at home, Zhang Feng did not respond. He still sat there and listened quietly. He knew that Zhang Jing must have a later article, and most of the ancestral home in the family. It can't be kept, although he is also a pity for that ancestral home, but now he has to let his father sell it.
If you don't sell this time, as long as you get Zhang Ke and his wife back, it will not be long before the ancestral residence will become someone else's.
Sure enough, Zhang Jing continued: "Our father has also agreed to the ancestral house. We will move out in the next year and hand over the ancestral house."
Zhang Feng said faintly: "My dad never thought about it, where will they live in the future?"
Zhang Jing was a little speechless. She really asked this question, but Zhang Songjie replied confidently: "I stretched the mat to sleep at the gate of the county government!" After hearing this, she almost didn't give Zhang Jing annoyance. When he died, he slammed the door and left. At the same time, Zhang Yi and Zhang Wen who were going back were also dumbfounded. Therefore, knowing that Zhang Feng was coming back tonight, Zhang Yi and Zhang Wen and Fanglan both hid.
Zhang Feng paused and said, "Sister, do you think this is the last year spent in the ancestral house?"
Zhang Jing sighed and said, "Yeah, I'm really reluctant, and I don't know what my parents think. Is it worth it?"
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly: "This is not a question of whether it is worthwhile or not. Family affection is not measurable by value. Some people seem to be worthless, while some people seem to be worth a thousand dollars. In the eyes of parents, children just use Can't change anything, is it worthless?"
Zhang Jing didn't expect Zhang Feng to say such a thing calmly, and then he pondered for a while and said: "After all, the sister is a girl who is married out, and she has no say in family affairs. As long as you can figure it out, Zhang Yi There is nothing to say with Wenwen. In fact, your brother-in-law once said that the main thing is that you are the backing. Your parents will do this. Otherwise, there are Zhang Yi and Zhang Wen below. Why do they do it for Zhang Ke? , Ruined everyone?"
Zhang Feng shook his head and said, "Sister, don't worry about family affairs. I know what I know. Parents, you should stop persuading them from now on. Let them do their best. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will be in their hearts for the rest of their lives. Uneasy. By the way, didn’t the three Wang’s brothers say that the branches belong to the eldest brother? What about their shops and the houses they bought
Zhang Jing smiled bitterly, and said, "Naturally, they are still in the hands of their parents and wives, but the fines they should pay have been accumulated with Zhang Ke's. You said, what's all this, their fines? We have to hand it in too!"
Zhang Feng sneered: "How can there be so many cheap things in the world for them to take advantage of? Don't be afraid to die!"
