Go Back To 1980 and Enjoy It Chapter 126

Chapter 126 If you are poor, think about changes

 Since his daughter married into the Deng family, Zhang Zhenfa's status in the village has unknowingly improved several levels.

In the past, because his family was poor, Zhang Zhenfa himself did not have much ability, and he had almost no say in the village. The only thing that could make people take a high look was that he had four sons.

 In rural areas, a family with more sons is better than a family with fewer sons.

 After all, there is strength in numbers!

Although people in this era generally started with five or six children, many families who gave birth to six or seven children did not necessarily have four sons. Zhang Zhenfa only gave birth to five children, but four of them were sons. This alone is already compared to Many people in the village have become strong.

But then again, although there are not many families with four or five sons in the village, there are still about ten families, and Zhang Zhenfa is not conspicuous among them.

Until his daughter got married, Zhang Zhenfa finally gained a certain prestige in the village through the influence of his in-laws. The most obvious change was that more people took the initiative to show their kindness to him. Every now and then, someone would come to his house to bring two handfuls of vegetables or something. .

 Zhang Xiuping nodded and smiled: "Well, this is the Phoenix brand bicycle my father-in-law bought years ago."

 Soon, Zhang Xiuping and Deng Yuntai arrived.

Generally, when a married daughter returns to her natal family, she will bring a jackal head with her. Therefore, whenever the Hakkas in Bobai give birth to a daughter, they will say that they will have a jackal head to eat in the future.

Zhang Zhenfa, on the other hand, was sitting at the door holding a hookah, staring in the direction of the village entrance, and burning a pipe from time to time.

Mother Zhang couldn't help but ask, “Xiuping, what's in this bag?”

This change made Zhang Zhenfa and his wife, who had never had much presence in the village, couldn't help but be happy.

Hearing the words, Zhang Zhenfa and his three other sons immediately looked towards the entrance of the village. Zhang's mother and two daughters-in-law also heard the shouting and quickly walked out of the house.

There is also the matter of buying a bicycle, and Dad is still hesitating. "

Sister-in-law Zhang next to her said with envy on her face: "Phoenix bicycles are just beautiful."

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said: "Those wrapped are all candies, biscuits, dried fruit preserves, melon seed pastries and the like. The bottom is meat. Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you go get baskets and put them in. If you get two more baskets, I will give them to you." Send a copy to Fourth Uncle's family and Uncle Man's family.”

Although Zhang Zhenfa and his wife have little education, decades of life experience have made them understand that all this is because their daughter married well. If their daughter had not married into the Deng family, which has excellent conditions, then the couple would have wanted to have what they have now in the village. Status, that is impossible.

Zhang Xiuping asked: "Big brother and second brother, have your shops been opened?"

 After delivering the gifts, Zhang's mother had already boiled the tea and was frying the ashes of water worms.

 Then there is the haired jackal, which is divided into jackal heads and jackal cubs. The jackal cubs are about the same size as duck eggs, but the jackal head is at least as big as an adult's fist.

Zhang Xiuping looked at her father and said, "Dad, what do you think?"

 Skip the words that greet each other and say hello.

Zhang Shoujun, who was sharp-eyed, saw two bicycles riding towards the village entrance from a distance. The bicycles were none other than his sister and brother-in-law. He immediately shouted: "Look, sister and brother-in-law are here!"

According to the rules of the Hakka people in Bobai, when the woman brings her new uncle back home, as long as they are the uncles who have received gifts, they must take turns to treat them to dinner.

 Zhang Xiuping asked: "Did you encounter any problems?"

 Around 10:30 in the morning.

 Sister-in-law Zhang's eyes also lit up when she saw it: “Yes, this bicycle is really beautiful!”

Of course, garlic is also indispensable, so I also took two and put them on the basket.

As for Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang, they also wiped the table clean and put some candies, biscuits, melon seeds and the like on the table with lids.

Hsheishui Zhi and Da Zhi also took a little each.

After Zhang Zhenfa said hello, he began to look at his son-in-law. He was indeed quite ordinary in appearance, but he had a very good spirit and an ideal height. Coupled with his own abilities and family background, he was quite satisfied with such a son-in-law. After some polite greetings, Zhang's mother and Zhang's sister-in-law, Zhang's second sister-in-law, went up to help untie the glutinous rice flour. When they saw the two glutinous rice **** filled with various gifts, the Zhang family naturally exclaimed.

Zhang Zhenfa had prepared a lot of good things early, and was ready to entertain this son-in-law, whom he had not met yet, but had already earned him enough face.

After dividing them up, Zhang Xiuping asked her husband to carry them to her fourth uncle's house and Man Shu's house.

 The four brothers of the Zhang family had nothing to do, so they sat at the door of their home, craning their necks with their father to look in the direction of the village entrance.

Seeing that the niece and nephew-in-law brought so many gifts, the fourth uncle, fourth aunt and uncle Manman were naturally very happy, and they all rushed to set a time for the treat.

The Zhang family had seen the bicycle that Deng Yuntai rode. After all, Deng Shirong rode this bicycle to their house several times, but the brand-new bicycle that Zhang Xiuping rode had never been seen by the Zhang family. Seeing it was like With the Phoenix-like national standard, even people who have never seen a Phoenix brand bicycle can guess what brand of bicycle it is.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang's mother had cut the gray water zhi, big zhi, and hair zhi, and the boiling water was already boiling. She only waited for her daughter and son-in-law to arrive, so she could make tea and fry the zhi as soon as possible.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Second Sister-in-law Zhang responded and hurried back to the kitchen to get the basket.

Today, Zhang Zhenfa and his wife are very happy that their daughter is bringing her new uncle back home.

 Zhang Shouguo shook his head and said, "Not yet!"

When the basket came, Zhang Xiuping started to get things for her fourth uncle's house and uncle Man's house. Her father-in-law prepared two fans for her to bring back. One of them was not cut, and the other was cut in half. One portion for Uncle Man's family.

Zhang Shouguo said: "The main reason is that the family's opinions are not unified yet. I have taken a fancy to a small house in a good location and want to spend money to buy it as a store. But my father thinks the price is too high, but I can't lower the price." .

After saying hello, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask: “Xiuping, is this a Phoenix brand bicycle?”

 Zhang Zhenfa invited his daughter and son-in-law to sit down. Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin, the eldest and second brothers, also came to accompany them. Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang helped pour tea, and the other took apart some pastries brought back by the sister-in-law and placed them on clean lids.

Zhang Xiuping brought a jackal head and eight jackal cubs to her fourth uncle's family and uncle Man's family, and finally packaged candies, biscuits, dried fruit preserves and melon seed cakes each.

Zhang Zhenfa took a sip of tea and said: "The main reason is that I don't know whether I can make money by opening this store. I have to invest so much money at once. I really don't know what to do. You also know that this money was originally reserved. What will you do if you lose money by investing in a wife for Xiaojun and Xiaoshan? "

Zhang Xiuping said: "Dad, don't worry. My father-in-law said that the probability of losing money in this business is very low. As long as you run it carefully, there is still a high possibility of making money. It is said in the book that if you are poor, you will want to change. Our family's conditions are not good. , If you still don't dare to give it a try, how can there be a way out?”
