Yongbyon Prefecture is the first military fortress in the extreme west of Yanyun.
Over the past decade or so, as more and more troops have set up camps near Ningbyon Prefecture, this has promoted the commercial prosperity here in disguise.
In addition, from the beginning of Wuhan University to Wu Zhe's succession, Yanyun has always implemented a policy of vigorous support for Ningbyon Prefecture, so Ningbyon Prefecture has developed extremely rapidly and has become extremely prosperous.
Just like in later generations, an old man drew a circle on the South China Sea, and Guangzhou changed from a small fishing village to the most famous developed city in the country and even the world. Today, Ningbyon Prefecture is almost like that.
However, no matter how prosperous the boundary is, there is a place of prosperity, and naturally there is also a place of poverty.
In the corner of Xicheng in Nyongbyon Prefecture, there are slums in Ningbyon Prefecture.
Every morning, at the fork in the street, there is an old man with more than half of the white hair and weathered face who sells bamboo baskets here.
The palms of his hands are covered with calluses, which are obviously traces of holding the knife all the year round. However, in the eyes of the world, this little old man here, the calluses on his hands are just weaving too many bamboo baskets. That's it.
By the way, this little old man has a very obvious mark. He has only one arm and one arm.
He has a very common name, his name is... Zhang Ping!
One-armed Zhang Ping!
The four characters "One-armed Zhang Ping" are famous people in the upper layers of Yanyun, but in this slum, he is just a little old man who makes bamboo baskets.
Ten years ago, Wuhan University took back Li Shishi and made a five-year agreement with Song Baiyiyi. It was time for the brothers to enjoy the blessing. However, Zhang Ping was unwilling to return to the Beiyan Palace. He was alone. Single-handedly, riding a thin horse, he returned to Yongbyon Prefecture.
He is one of Wu Da's most confidant, hardest and most intimate brothers. Wu Da did not want him to suffer this pain, but Zhang Ping voluntarily was willing to be ordinary.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Ping is very clear in his heart that the importance of Ningbyon Prefecture to Yanyun is self-evident, and there is nothing to lose in Ningbyon Prefecture! If Zhang Ping is not here in person, then Zhang Liang or Wu Gang, maybe one of them will come here.
Zhang Liang and Wu Gang had already married and established a business, and had already had a wife and children. Zhang Ping couldn't bear the brothers dragging their family to come here, so he came here alone to make a living by making bamboo baskets.
In the middle of noon, Zhang Ping only sold two bamboo baskets.
Then he picked up the remaining bamboo basket and got up to go home.
On the way, he ran into a few orphans, and gave them the copper plates obtained from selling bamboo baskets, so that these orphans could eat.
Then, Zhang Ping returned home to eat with his wife of chaff.
His wife is a widow and has a son, but Zhang Ping doesn't care. He just wants to find someone to live with him. Besides, this wife is really good to Zhang Ping, washing and cooking, serving Zhang Ping, and she is a good wife and mother.
Marrying a big one and giving a small one for free, Zhang Ping also has a son, not bad.
Unfortunately, the son found a bitter daughter-in-law.
No, the pig-like daughter-in-law, who is fat like a pig, came before eating two bites of rice.
Seeing that the old couple Zhang Ping had already started to eat, they pinched their waists and shouted sharply:
"Eat, eat, and you know how to eat! How much money did you sell today? Why don't you call me out soon? The child is old, and he is going to a private school to study, and the money is not enough!"
Reaching out to ask for money from Zhang Ping's old husband and wife, the daughter-in-law did not feel ashamed at all. On the contrary, she was very upright and confident. She didn't know where she was confident? Is it possible that the old couple owes her
His wife tugged at the corner of Zhang Ping's clothes. Zhang Ping was silent for a moment, put down the dishes, and said faintly: "There are a few unwanted children on the corner of the street. They are all orphans and they are helpless. I think they are pitiful. Give them. I bought food and ate."
My daughter-in-law suddenly refused to comply, and a quarrel broke out.
"Orphans? What's the matter with orphans? Orphans have no fathers or mothers. Poor, we have fathers and mothers, no one cares, even more pitiful! You're an immortal, and you always give money to outsiders. Do you still have us in your eyes? Your grandson?"
The son Zhang Pingbai picked up, with weak temperament, whispered:
"Forget it, a few bamboo baskets can't sell for a lot of money, so why bother...?"
The daughter-in-law stared, "A few copper plates are not money anymore? This old and undead person gives money to outsiders every other day, and should our mother live? My poor child is waiting for money to go to school!"
Zhang Ping did often give the money for selling bamboo baskets to the orphans, but his daughter-in-law still had a mouthful of old and undead, which still made Zhang Ping feel very ear-piercing, so Zhang Ping got up and said indifferently:
"My money is in exchange for selling bamboo baskets, and I can give it to whoever I want! You are young, with all hands and feet, go out to work in the city and never die of starvation!"
This is correct. Why is Zhang Ping's daughter-in-law as fat as a pig? If you are lazy all day long and do not work, you will naturally eat fat.
The daughter-in-law became angry immediately, like a shrew cursing the street.
At this moment, the doorway and the street suddenly became horseshoes.
Yongbyon Prefecture is a military fortress, and there is no shortage of soldiers, but soldiers do rarely come here in the slums.
Moreover, from the sound of horseshoes, you can tell that there are so many soldiers coming, so many soldiers, I am afraid it is a reorganization battalion!
Most importantly, those people actually stopped in front of Zhang Ping's house.
The daughter-in-law was taken aback, and murmured: "There is no reason. Even if this old immortal gives money to outsiders all day long, is it possible that the government still cares about this? How can it alarm so many people?"
This idiot is simply no brainer!
The soldiers suddenly arrived in large numbers, alarming the neighbors nearby, and they all probed their heads.
The people of Yongbyon Prefecture are not afraid of being soldiers, because Yanyun has iron rules. Soldiers disturb the people and kill them without mercy!
But the soldiers who came this time were very strange. They lined up neatly in front of Zhang Ping's door. They didn't take the liberty to enter or say a word.
They... Don't dare to disturb Zhang Ping
Zhang Ping frowned, thought for a while, suddenly took the boss's hand, got up and walked out.
My wife panicked, and then said: "Lao Zhang, outside... you... what are you doing?"
Zhang Ping squeezed out a rare smile and grinned, "Some little guys are here, maybe something has happened, you are my Zhang Ping's wife, and we must let those little bunnies know you."
Zhang Ping's wife was taken to the door in a daze. The next scene completely stunned her wife, made her daughter-in-law and son completely dumbfounded, and stunned all the neighbors nearby!
After seeing Zhang Ping, the big men with the appearance of the leader of the soldiers kneeled on one knee and saluted.
"Final Hu Hai, see the commander!"
