The two front-facing rooms are not too big, and it’s only a dozen square meters when it is full, because only the width is enough, the depth is far behind.
Zhang Ke’s store is only about two meters deep, but there is a recessed part near the aisle of the office building because of the stairs. Zhang Ke remodeled the space underneath this section a bit. It's a small room, just enough to set a square table, with a bed slatted over my head, and I live here at night.
Wang Hui swiftly cut a plate of beef and a plate of pig's head meat at the vegetable market in the back. After adjusting, he brought it in with a plate and placed it on the table. Zhang Ke took out a naked bottle of wine from the back of the shelf and brought it over with a smile. Said: "This is the bamboo leaf green that I picked up when I bought the goods in the provincial capital last time. It has been around for 20 years. I found one from the warehouse of the Sugar and Wine Company and it was divided by several people."
Zhang Feng is more particular about drinking. In the army, because of the type of military, drinking is strictly prohibited most of the time, but this is not the case when he is relaxed, but he still limits the amount of drinking, because excessive drinking will affect the body. The reaction speed of Zhang Feng will also affect the nerves. Zhang Feng's army does not allow them to drink excessively.
So every time you drink, you should cherish it, and if you abandon the quantity, you should work hard on the quality.
Zhuyeqing is a fragrant wine, and Zhang Feng doesn’t have much interest in it, and although the wine is very old, it is not stored in the wine cellar for 20 years, but in a glass bottle, which does not make much sense. At most, it can be said that it is aging enough, but it has little meaning for wine quality.
But it was not easy to get rid of the eldest brother's interest, he still sat down and chatted with Zhang Ke while eating.
Zhang Ke took the wine cup and walked with Zhang Feng, and then said: "I heard that you haven't taken office yet, so you have taken half a month's leave?"
Zhang Feng gave an "um" and nodded slightly. He did this for a reason. Zhou Xiaojun will not be able to take long in Zhou'an County. He doesn't want to get too close to Zhou Xiaojun at this time. This may not be necessary for his future development. Advantageously, the new secretary of the county party committee is not necessarily happy that the director of public security is a close confidant of his predecessor. Secondly, during the adjustment period after the chaos of the official city and county levels during the recent period, he does not want to get involved. , He has clear goals and plans in mind.
I have already got the exact news from Tang Yan. Within half a month, I will definitely be able to get the training place for the youth cadre class of the Provincial Party School. When the time comes, I will transfer directly to the province, avoiding this period of time with Xia Peng and other public security bureaus. People meet to reduce the possibility of friction and accidents, and the most important reason is that his transfer and grading procedures have not been completed yet, and it will take time.
It just so happens to be able to take advantage of a few family affairs these days, and it can be regarded as making up for the regrets of that period of life in the dream.
The relationship with the eldest brother’s family, no matter what the reason, is the eternal pain in Zhang Feng’s heart, and it is also the eternal pain in the heart of his father Zhang Songjie in his dream life. He does not want his father to experience the heart-wrenching feeling again, but also for the To maintain the big family of Zhang's family from the kind of dispute in the dream in the future, he decided to encourage his father and brother to separate their families.
When the family is divided, the responsibilities will be clear, and everyone will have a clear goal for their efforts. When the lives of the brothers and sisters are completely improved, no one will hurt the family with a little money.
Sister-in-law's selfishness is understandable, and because of this, Zhang Feng decided that it is best to separate the family as soon as possible.
However, Zhang Feng was still thinking about how to open this mouth.
A bottle of wine saw the bottom of his eyes, and Zhang Feng knew that he would not speak again. This is not easy to say today. After pondering for a while, he said: "Brother, you sister Wang Hui has come to the county town for a long time to do business, right?"
Zhang Ke sighed and said, "Well, it's been almost ten years. I remember you were still in high school at that time. Time flies so fast."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "How do you feel? Do you have any hard work in farming at home?"
Zhang Ke smiled and said, "How can it be compared? Although it's harder, the income is much better than farming at home. Otherwise, this store cannot develop from a small cigarette car to today? But to be honest, I really didn’t make much money in the past few years, and it’s been okay in the last two or three years, and I can finally lose two dollars."
Zhang Feng said: "In those days, when doing business in the county, the capital shouldn't be much, right?"
Zhang Ke indulged in his memories: "At that time, our poor family was the same, where did the capital come from? Our dad borrowed 400 yuan from the aunt’s house, borrowed 200 yuan from the second aunt’s house, and sold the family’s. For the two pigs, they fought together for 1,200 yuan and gave them all to my sister-in-law and your sister-in-law. However, the turnover was not working well, and they took a lot of money from our pharmacy."
After a pause, Zhang Ke suddenly realized that what Zhang Feng asked was weird and couldn't help asking: "Why do you remember to ask this?"
Zhang Feng sighed and said, "I learned when I sent Yuanyuan to school today that the cost of studying in the county is really big. Our family's situation is obvious. The main expenses are all based on the pharmacy. My university is a military school. Spending a penny at home, the monthly fixed allowance is also remitted in full, so the family's expenses can be maintained in the past few years."
"However, this year Zhang Yi is going to college. He won't go to military academy. He will definitely spend no less money. Wenwen will also go to high school soon. Girls. Although they eat less, they definitely spend more money than the two of us. You have to be good when you are in school, right, after Zhang Yi graduates, you will need a lot of money to find a job, talk about a partner, get married, and so on."
"As for me, although I work, my salary is pitiful. If I get married, I must borrow money from young and old." Zhang Feng took out a cigarette and said, "You know the situation in the pharmacy. It's getting worse and worse. Everyone is going to see western medicine. We all know the tempers of parents. I definitely don't want to let go of holding the ancestral style, and the income will naturally get worse."
"When we were at home today, my dad was still sighing, saying that the baby passed down by the Zhang family was going to be disconnected in his hands. Do you think you can count on your parents to go back to practice western medicine?" Zhang Feng sighed. , And then said: "So, in the future, our family's income will only be left in the store."
The look on Zhang Ke's face became weird the more he heard it, but he couldn't refute it. In these years, doing business in the county, the couple had actually regarded the stall as their own for a long time, and had never thought of spending money for the family.
Although no one has said anything all these years, and no one has ever asked him for money. Instead, they still get the full support of their family. They are short of money and money. When no one is helping, even if the pharmacy is temporarily closed, they have to come first. At the store side, he didn't even have to argue with what Zhang Feng said, but if he really wants to supply the family's expenses from now on, he feels wronged again, and the daughter-in-law must also be uncomfortable.
Therefore, Zhang Ke was holding a wine glass in his hand, and his expression began to show a bit of struggle.
