Views:

While carrying his luggage down from the car, Zhang Feng accidentally discovered that there were still a lot of things in the trunk.

A bag of rice, a large pot of rapeseed oil, a box of wine, two cigarettes.

Zhang Feng shook his head secretly. He couldn't help but admire Xia Peng a little bit. He was able to prepare so thoughtfully in a short period of time, and he couldn't help saying that his mind was quite meticulous.

Kong Lingshan, who came together to help with things, saw the rice and rapeseed oil in the car, and couldn't help but complain: "You kid, why are you still buying these things? Is there anything at home."

Zhang Feng naturally understood his mother's thoughts and smiled: "It was issued by the unit. I didn't want to buy this. Well, dad doesn't smoke. I put two bottles of wine at home for my dad to taste. Rice and vegetable oil will be given to the eldest sister later. Take it home."

Kong Lingshan sighed lightly, and said, "Okay, you can figure it out." The daughter is a member of another family after she gets married, but in the eyes of her parents, she is still her own child. The Zhang family does not separate, and the son is willing to take things. To the eldest sister, mothers are of course very happy, but there are eldest son and daughter-in-law in the family, but it is not convenient for the daughter-in-law to know, so Kong Lingshan just said something in a low voice.

Zhang Feng was taken aback for a while, and unexpectedly recalled some of the past in his dream. His complexion was a bit ugly at the time. After a pause, he locked the door and carried the luggage he had brought back from the county. When he entered the study and came out, he said to his father: "Dad, there are pigs in the eldest sister's house to feed. I will send the eldest sister back to Fangzhuang."

Zhang Jing also came out of the kitchen and said, "Fang Lan will go to school in the afternoon. Dad, Mom, Fang Lan and I won't be delayed."

Zhang Song nodded, "Well, let Feng'er take you back. When the holiday is over, I will bring Cici over to stay for a few more days."

Zhang Ke and Wang Hui also sent them out. Zhang Feng opened the door. Unexpectedly, his nephew Zhang Yuan also climbed into the car and went to Fangzhuang with him. Zhang Feng smiled and said to the eldest brother, "Or, I will send Yuanyuan directly to school later?"

Zhang Yuan is eight years old. He is studying at Nanguan Elementary School in the county. He came back with him at noon, but he still had to go to school in the afternoon. Zhang Ke only hesitated for a while and nodded: "Okay, I will trouble you."

When the car left Luo Village, Zhang Feng turned his head and asked as he drove: "Brother-in-law’s school is getting good treatment right now?"

Fang Lan held his daughter in his arms and sat in the co-driver. Zhang Yuan also squeezed in front, leaning on the windshield and looking out of the car. Excitedly, he never had a moment of free time. That's more. There is a small two hundred yuan a month." Fang Lan showed a smile on his face. In the past, his salary was only thirty or forty yuan a month, but it has slowly risen in the past few years.

Zhang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "What can you do with two hundred yuan? Now that the price of goods has risen so fast, the price of matches has doubled five times, from two cents to one dime. Cici can't afford to study."

Recalling the future generations in the dreamland, the tuition fees of middle school students amounted to tens of thousands, not counting other fees, and Zhang Feng shuddered: "Or, how about you and my sister going to the county to do some business or something?"

Fang Lan smiled and said, "Doing business? If I can't learn, I will be a teacher."

Zhang Jing also smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Your big brother's business is okay? Just heard your sister-in-law said that she made a lot of money."

Zhang Feng shook his head and said, "Sister, speaking of this, I want Dad to divide the family sooner."

After thinking about it, Zhang Feng felt that separation was a good choice.

Zhang Jiazu Master Ding is actually very prosperous, but because of years of wars, their family of medical heirlooms is very vulnerable. When Zhang Feng's grandfather was born, there were only a dozen cousins left. Grandpa Zhang Feng is one person, and Zhang Feng’s father’s generation is also five brothers, but after successive national wars, civil wars, and foreign aid wars, in the end only Zhang Songjie, who inherited his ancestral business, survived. Therefore, Zhang Songjie is very persistent when it comes to inheriting cigarettes. Otherwise, they will not be expelled from public office because of family planning.

The Zhang family’s inheritance from a large family has a tradition of living together and not easily dividing families.

However, many of the rules of the ancestors are not suitable for the present, and it is not suitable to continue living together, especially when the income is imbalanced. Zhang Feng, who has a deep understanding of Zhang Ke and Wang Hui and his wife, is really unwilling to make trouble in the future. If something looks bad, now that fate has changed and the dream hasn’t happened, try to avoid it.

Zhang Jing was stunned when she heard the words, but did not rush to speak.

Among the brothers and sisters, Zhang Jing is the oldest, and she knows a lot about the stinky rules of the Zhang family. It is normal for the second brother to raise things in other families, such as the Fang family. After Fang Lan married her, he was divided by the family. Come out, but this kind of thing is very troublesome in the Zhang family. The Zhang family still has many ancestral properties, such as ancestral medicine. Although no one wants to inherit the ancestral industry to become a doctor, if the family is separated, these things will be missed. , Zhang Jing suddenly thought of the eldest sister-in-law Wang Hui.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Jing said, "You can tell your parents about this. My sister is the one who married out, so don't make the decision."

Zhang Feng just said so, not expecting the eldest sister to do anything in it. As soon as the topic changed, he returned to doing business: "When my brother-in-law talked about teaching, I remembered it. In fact, running a school is Good business."

Fang Lan said: "I heard that there is already a noble elementary school in the city. A student's tuition for a semester alone costs more than 10,000 yuan."

Zhang Feng sighed and said, "Why don't you say that the most profitable business is to run a school, which is better than drug trafficking."

Zhang Jing said, "According to you, isn't it more difficult to run a school than to do business?"

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "But if my brother-in-law said, he will teach."

In a joke, the car has reached the head of Fangzhuang Village, and Zhang Jing said: "You have a lot of knowledge outside, see if you can do something suitable, and advise your brother-in-law, but the eldest sister has no capital, I am afraid that there is not much business that can be done.

Zhang Feng said: "Okay, I'll help you see it, and I'll talk about it when there is a suitable way."

After getting out of the car, Zhang Feng opened the trunk and said, "Sister, the unit has issued a bag of rice and a pot of oil. You can call someone to help you get it back." Because the car can't enter the village, Zhang Yuan's nephew followed, Zhang Feng It is not convenient to go to the eldest sister's house together.

Fang Lan frowned and said, "Zhang Feng, what are you doing with these things? They are all very expensive."

Zhang Jing didn't decline, and said: "A Feng said, the welfare of the unit, you carry rice, I carry vegetable oil, just a few steps, no need to call people."

Zhang Feng said: "There is also Cici, or I will take you home for you."

Zhang Jing waved her hand: "It's okay, Cici holds hands. She's all home. You'd better hurry up and send Yuanyuan to school."
