Just ask for peace of mind

Zhou Yong sent the car to Zhang Feng early in the morning, and Zhang Feng immediately gave him a big holiday, waiting for the Lantern Festival to come back to work.

When Zhang Feng returned to Jinxiuyuan, Zhang Jing just put breakfast on the table, and Zhang Yi and Zhang Wen also came out of the bedroom. When they saw Zhang Feng, the faces of several people showed a trace of embarrassment. In fact, Zhang Feng had already put the breakfast. They forgot a few things they deliberately hid last night, but they felt a little difficult to face.

Breakfast is still very common porridge, steamed buns and sauerkraut, but Zhang Feng has a good taste. He hasn't eaten such a delicious home-cooked meal for a long time. Everyone, including Fang Lan, is rare to keep it at the dinner table. Silence, not talking during dinner, this is not common in the usual, especially Zhang Wen, as long as she is there, twitter will not be silent.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Zhang Feng took out his cigarette, threw one to Fang Lan, and said, "Brother-in-law intends to return to Fangzhuang today?"

Fang Lan let out a "huh" and pondered: "A Feng, when is it appropriate to pick up parents to Fangzhuang?"

When I came back from outside last night, a few people asked Zhang Jing and learned that Zhang Feng was indifferent to his parents selling the drug store and the ancestral house. They knew that the original arrangement was a foregone conclusion. Zhang Yi and Zhang Wen didn’t care, and his parents stayed at the elder sister’s house. What's the difference between my own family? Fang Lan had to think about it. The Fang family was good at saying that this kind of thing hadn't been seen before, but Zhang Songjie and his wife might not be willing.

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said: "Don’t worry, wait a year later, oh, brother-in-law, you don’t want to go back to Fangzhuang in the afternoon. Let’s go to Luo Village in the morning. I may not have time to go to the grave on New Year’s Eve. Today Go ahead and give your ancestors two sticks of incense."

Fang Lan hesitated for a moment, but nodded, and said, "Okay, there was nothing wrong with going back today."

Zhang Feng took out the car key and threw it to Zhang Yi, saying, "Pick some gifts and move on to the car." Although he has not been at home these days, he has received a lot of gifts with large bags and small bags, all of which were handled by Zhang Jing. The living room and kitchen were filled up, and the refrigerator was already fully packed. Zhang Feng asked Fang Lan to take part of it back to Fangzhuang, but there were still a lot of them at home.

Zhang Jing stood up and said, "I'll pick it up, Zhang Yi and Wenwen will come and move."

Knowing that she was going to Luo Village, Zhang Jing picked a few things like fish, meat, rice and noodles, and some ordinary sugar, wine, tea and fruit. As for the more high-end gifts, she didn’t take them. Bringing it back can only cause trouble for Zhang Feng. Although Zhang Feng didn't say anything, Zhang Jing had already considered it. Obviously, she was much more careful than Zhang Yi.

Zhang Jing is still very happy to see Zhang Feng suddenly thinking about going back to the grave, especially asking Zhang Yi to bring gifts back. This is a more obvious hint, which shows that Zhang Feng has no grievances or special feelings towards his parents. Thinking, this situation is much better than she had imagined before.

Two cars drove into Luo Village one after another. Zhang Feng did not go home first, but first went to the public cemetery in the southeast of the village. The ancestral grave of the Zhang family is located here. It was originally a cemetery dedicated to the Zhang family. It was only after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The land is gradually being nationalized, and this cemetery is no exception, including the Luojia cemetery not far away, which eventually became a cemetery that everyone in the village can use.

In recent years, tomb repairs have gradually emerged, and many people have re-established stone monuments for their ancestors, but the Zhang family has never done so.

After turning paper, putting incense, bowing, making a bow, the ceremony came down, but it was almost noon. Zhang Feng looked at the cemetery in silence for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything. There will be a flat tomb movement in a few years. Although it was only a gust of wind, this cemetery suffered extremely severe damage, especially some of the ancestral graves of the Zhang family and Luo family before the founding of the People’s Republic of China were secretly dug up.

Soon afterwards, it was taken by the developer. In dreams, when Zhang Feng came out of prison, the cemetery had long since ceased to exist, instead it became a large commercial and residential building, and the living occupied the dead’s house. The cemetery has also disappeared in people’s memory. On the contrary, the same developer has circled a hillside in Nanshan, set up a cemetery, and made a fortune by selling a house.

Zhang Feng is now wondering whether he moved the ancestral grave of the Zhang family in advance. He didn't believe in these things at first, but after that strange dream, he had another life, Zhang Feng He began to be half-believing about ghosts and gods, not like he did not believe it at all, and regardless of whether he did not believe it or stayed away.

Once this idea came out, it would be somewhat unstoppable. Nobody in the country could bear the burial of ancestral graves. Zhang Feng is no exception. Rather than suffer the crime, it is better to move the ancestral grave in advance. In his mind, it's just that today's timing is not right, and Zhang Songjie absolutely must do his best to oppose this kind of thing. You have to think of a suitable time and method.

When he returned to the ancestral house, Zhang Feng's expression had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. With Fang Lan and Zhang Yi's help, a few people quickly moved home the gifts in the two cars, just all kinds of seafood. Meat, rice noodles, oil, etc., were enough for Zhang Songjie and his wife for more than half a year. Seeing these, Kong Lingshan smiled.

However, Zhang Songjie’s expression was not very good, and he ignored Zhang Feng. He took a pot of dry tobacco by himself, squatted outside the gate and smoked, until Zhang Jing came out to ask him to eat, then he carried his hands and shook his hands. He came back leisurely, but his face still kept a gloomy color. Zhang Yi and Zhang Wen's brother and sister turned a blind eye to his father's face. Zhang Feng was just amused at first, but then he pretended not to see it, but Fang Lan and Zhang Jingdi. A few words of persuasion.

Although Zhang Jing and his wife were reconciling the atmosphere, Zhang Songjie didn’t have a good face from beginning to end. Even Fang Qian and Zhang Yuan, the two grandsons, didn’t pay much attention to it. Kong Lingshan frowned secretly beside her and opened her mouth several times. It was hesitant to talk, so this meal was extremely dull. After the meal was hurriedly used up, Zhang Jing and Zhang Wen rushed to clean up the dishes.

Zhang Feng took out two cigarettes, handed one to Fang Lan, and then to his father. However, Zhang Songjie did not pick it up. Instead, he pulled out the pot of dry cigarettes and said dullly: "Can't afford the high-end cigarettes of the county party secretary!"

The few people in the hall, Kong Lingshan, Fang Lan, and Zhang Yi, all looked stagnant when they heard that, and then looked at Zhang Feng eagerly, lest Zhang Feng would be irritated by the old man’s words, Kong Lingshan even straightened up from the bench. The body is coming, and the New Year's Eve, if the father and son quarrel at home, it is really not enough to be a joke, not to mention Zhang Feng's current status and status, Zhang Songjie is too much.

But to everyone’s surprise, Zhang Feng was not angry. Instead, he chuckled and put the cigarette into his mouth, saying, "Don’t put the hat on, your son is just a deputy secretary. He is still far from the county party secretary. Thousands of miles."

Everyone felt relieved when they heard this, and even sighed slightly, as long as Zhang Feng had this attitude.

Zhang Songjie was obviously also startled, and then returned to his dull look, biting the cigarette pot, and smoking it rattled.

Zhang Feng took two puffs of cigarettes and looked at his father's face for a moment before he said: "Dad, I heard from the elder sister, you sold all the drugstore and the ancestral house? How much did you make up?" He couldn't wait until the old man bowed his head, then It wasn't what he wanted to see. Although it hasn't been long since things have happened, the mental torture to the family is not light, Zhang Feng can't let his father toss like this.

Others may not matter, but her mother can’t. On the surface, Kong Lingshan looks healthy, but in fact she can’t stand the mental pressure the most. In her previous life, her body was finally worn down because she couldn’t bear the mental pressure of internal and external difficulties. He didn't have money to treat him, and he let go after Zhang Feng was in prison for a few years. Zhang Feng hated Zhang Ke and his wife the most, and this was one of them.

Therefore, Zhang Feng came back today to end this matter. As for his father’s attitude, he doesn’t care at all. In front of his parents, he is only a deputy secretary of the county party committee, that is, the president of the country, the son or the son. It is never possible to climb on top of Lao Tzu. No matter how the father treats his son, it is only natural to reason where he gets it.

Zhang Songjie didn't expect Zhang Feng to ask him this. He glanced suspiciously at Zhang Feng and said, "What are you asking about this?"

Zhang Feng said: "You do so many things, you sell houses and shops, and you don't even care about your future days. You even catch up with my mother. There is Zhang Yi, Zhang Wen and Zhang Yuan below. How will they survive you in the future? They are all thrown behind the ears. Isn't it to force me to ask about this? If I don't speak again, I'm afraid you are going to sleep at the door of the county party committee?"

Hearing Zhang Feng’s last words, the expressions of several people in the room became weird, especially Zhang Jing. She didn’t remember telling Zhang Feng to convey the words her father said, including Zhang Songjie herself, and the eyes were flashing for a moment. Chaos, he did have this heart and thought, but that was an angry word when he was anxious. If he really wanted to do that, he might not be willing to show his face.

Zhang Feng didn't notice the other people's looks, and continued: "How much money did you collect? How much worse?"

Zhang Songjie gasped heavily, but after all he sighed, and said: "I made up 80,000 yuan, and there is money from your uncle and others, plus the store and the house that your brother bought, so I can barely make up. Two hundred thousand, this is already the limit, and even a fraction is not enough, this... what kind of evil has it all suffered!"

Zhang Feng didn't ask how much the ticket was given to the family. What's more, it didn't make sense to ask. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "You should have visited my brother and them, what did they say?"

Zhang Songjie looked hesitant for a while, pondering, and said: "What else can I say? Give the child to me and your mother, and the shop and house will be sold out." After a pause, "I will try to help collect the fine, otherwise If they don’t, they’re afraid they won’t be able to get out for the rest of their lives, Afeng, can you help dredge them, don’t let your brother go to jail?"

Zhang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think your son is capable of? Even this kind of thing can be cleared? Even if I don't need this hat, I can't clear this kind of thing. Besides, people are not in a hurry. What are you messing up with?"

The anger on Zhang Songjie's face was fleeting, but he was confused by Zhang Feng's last words: "Who do you think is not in a hurry?"

Zhang Feng curled his lips and said, "My sister-in-law saved a sum of money in ICBC in the name of someone else. Didn't I tell you?"

This is Zhang Feng’s memory from a dream. From the time when Wang Hui started doing business, she saved herself a large amount of private money, opened an account with other people’s ID cards, and deposited it in the County Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Many years later, when I bought a store in the commercial development zone to the east of the county seat, it was only used for more than one million.

Zhang Feng had already been released from prison at that time. When he was helping as a porter in Zhang Ke's shop and buying that shop building, Wang Hui triumphantly showed up with Zhang Ke, and Zhang Feng happened to hear it. Maple's excitement is extremely deep.

Not only Zhang Songjie, but everyone else in the family was shocked. Kong Lingshan's expression became the most ugly. Don’t look at Zhang Feng’s relationship with the family during this period of time, but Zhang Songjie and Kong Lingshan did not have the slightest doubt about Zhang Feng’s words. , And what is Wang Hui's character, how can they not count it in their hearts? Therefore, the house fell silent all at once.

If it was in the past, even if Zhang Feng came up with this matter, Zhang Songjie and Kong Lingshan would not care. In their opinion, this was a normal thing, and they did not think that Wang Hui could save some private money, but this time In the case of counterfeit and shoddy goods, the store that was not as valuable as the drugstore in their eyes, actually found more than two million fake goods at one time, completely subverting their perceptions. Zhang Songjie and Kong Lingshan are not people who have never seen the world, but With millions of capital, they still can't imagine how much.

Therefore, the two would not think that Wang Hui's private money in a separate account would be a little bit.

Seeing that they were still hesitating, Zhang Feng said: "Dad, Mom, what do you think? Do you still plan to continue to manage it?"

Zhang Songjie filled a pot of tobacco leaves again, took a few breaths, choking himself to cough several times, and he almost couldn’t breathe before he eased. It took a long time to say: "Manpower is exhausted sometimes, but no matter what. In other words, I always have to do my responsibilities as a father. I can feel at ease even if I can’t help them, even if I can’t help them.”

After a pause, Zhang Songjie continued: "Zhang Ke himself is not up to date. If he is wronged and framed by others, then I will fight for my own life and protect him well, but he will do this by himself. What I can do for violations of law and discipline is to atone for my sins as much as possible, to atone for them, and to atonement for myself. It’s the fault of my father. If I don’t do this, I feel uneasy!

Zhang Feng said: "The pharmacy and the ancestral house are all sold. You and my mother don’t even have a place to stand. Neither of my younger siblings and I have a family yet. Zhang Yi and Zhang Wen are still studying. You have helped their couple with the whole family. At this step, can't you feel at ease

Zhang Songjie said: "No! I just said that manpower is exhausted sometimes. I have tried my best. As you said, I have caught the survival and future of the whole family, no matter how far I can achieve it. In the future, both of them have nothing to do with me. I have never raised them before, Quandang raised a white-eyed wolf, and Quandang was bitten by a wolf!"
