Chapter 909 Deep Winter Night
On this night in the depths of winter, not only the grandparents and grandchildren in Zhang's small courtyard were talking about things, but several other small homes were also very disturbed. Zhang Guofu's home is more than 100 meters away.
In the bedroom, Huang Cuilan pushed her husband beside her, "Sleeping?"
"Um."
Even if she couldn't see her man's face in the dark, Huang Cuilan felt a strong refusal to communicate. She pouted aggrievedly and reached out to grab the man's hand.
Zhang Guofu secretly sighed. Looking at this posture, if he doesn't say a few words, he probably won't be able to sleep well tonight. After all, he said, "Worried about little left and right?"
"I'm not worried about those unconscionable sons. After going out for so long, I don't even have time to talk to me. Look at Little Shitou, he will ask how his mother's house is, and ask how the wheat ears are. Is there any trouble at home?"
This sour tone made Zhang Guoqiang laugh, "I see my son is doing well, and I know that I will bring gifts for you and Mai Miao when I come back from the house."
Seeing him smile, Huang Cuilan felt relieved, "It's better not to buy to save some money. The two brothers are too ignorant, why didn't you see that you lost a lot of weight after busying all day."
In the dark, Zhang Guofu didn't know how to answer the topic. Even if you want to praise yourself, there is no need to step down on your sons. Whose sons and daughters can earn tuition by collecting herbs?
"This time, the children cost Xiao Wu and the others a lot of money. Before they came back, my brother and sister asked me to buy something and send it over. What do you say?"
This is necessary, and I have to buy more and send more things, so that my Xiaowu's face will also be bright. Zhang Guofu suppressed his inner thoughts and asked softly, "What do you want to buy and send over?"
Huang Cuilan paused, really buy it? I knew I wouldn't bring up this topic. No, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it. Who doesn't know when the second child sends something back?
"My younger brother and sister said that they would go back to the village when the days are good these days, and see who still has stock."
Zhang Guofu gave her a sideways glance. As long as you are so careful, how can you not understand after many years of marriage? He smiled and said, "Why? Can't bear it?"
"How come? Listen to the dishes they said on the table. I guess Jiaojiao doesn't have much stock right now. It's just that if we can't send the vegetables and meat again this time, we ladies can go find them. to the gate."
"You said it would be great if Xiao Wu was at home. When did our family buy meat? It's a pity to hear from Xiao Zuo that his uncle hasn't hunted for a long time."
"Father, it would be great if you also learned crafts from our grandfather when you were young."
"Hehe..." Zhang Guofu didn't know how to continue the conversation. If he had the same strength as his own Xiaowu, he might not be able to marry her.
How much older is he than Xiao Wu? If he had this strength, would his parents have to work tirelessly all day long? In those years, there were more wild animals on the mountain, and they were bought and sold freely.
What else is it good for his Xiaowu to be at home? No matter how powerful the hunting is, if you are not careful, you will die. Now that Xiao Wu is so promising, there is no need to care about these three or five crooked melons and cracked dates!
Zhang Guofu sighed, "Go to sleep, I'll just find my second child tomorrow."
"Tired? I still have something to say."
"I'm so sleepy, I'll talk about it later." Don't get angry if you listen too much! Zhang Guofu turned his back to her and closed his eyes, snoring deliberately childishly.
Huang Cuilan: "..." She hasn't mentioned the children's jobs yet, there is food and drink at home, why can't she let her son serve as a soldier?
At Zhang Guoqiang's house a few hundred meters away, Zhang's second child is also listening to his wife's nagging. The meaning is similar, but Lin Juhua's words are much more beautiful.
listen...
"Father, now I finally understand why those people get married. Although Uncle Zhou doesn't care whether we return the gift or not, let alone what we give, but if it's really cheap to send vegetables and dried goods every day, it won't matter." Embarrassing."
Zhang Lao Er patted his daughter-in-law in his arms and smiled silently. Of course, his Xiao Wu is not a rabbit, he only eats vegetarian food.
Lin Juhua glanced at his face, "Look, we Shitou and others have gone so far, and Jiaojiao probably doesn't have any stock at home. She has always been generous, and the city is no better than the village, and the supply is always available. Quantitative. It is dangerous to go to the black market now, and she is used to being careful, so she must not let Xiao Wu go to those places."
Zhang Lao Er nodded, that's right! Xiao Wu had already told him and his eldest brother personally that the future is not optimistic, and everyone will live tensely.
He didn't have the guts to doubt his brother's vision. Although that kid is a bit stupid, countless stories have proved that this stupid boy is very good at predicting things.
"Ah, I'm looking at her. It's not easy. But if we really want to send some good things, such as bacon, they won't be able to accept them as soon as the first month is over, and few are willing to sell them. I don't want to part with them if they are expensive.
Me, after thinking about it, I have to go to the hunters in the backer village, and I won't buy it with them. The tickets I accumulated a while ago are really useful. "
Zhang Laoer laughed out loud. Women are stingy, he can understand. Not to mention his wife, even himself, except for his own parents and brothers, he is not willing to send a lot of money.
"Leave this matter to me. I will discuss it with my eldest brother tomorrow. Then my eldest sister doesn't need to tell her."
Lin Chrysanthemum was a little displeased, how can a man do things as delicately as their women, and spend a lot of money, she can still bargain.
"Don't be distressed. Look at how much Xiao Wu has posted about our family over the years. My eldest brother and I went to find Mr. Wang. Several juniors in his family can hunt, and there will be no shortage of good things like game. I said send it to Xiao Wu, because Xiao Wu makes friends with the old man, maybe besides the cheap price, he will give some to Xiao Wu."
"Father, you are so smart!"
Elder Zhang laughed wryly and said: "That's right! My three brothers, don't think Xiaowu is the most promising, the smartest is really your man. If he had my brains, he would have made a fortune eight lifetimes earlier without using Uncle Zhou. "
Lin Juhua laughed happily when she heard it. This man really opened a dyeing workshop just to give some color, but her man is really smart, and he knows to go to Mr. Wang.
Poor old man Wang is falling asleep now, how would he know that someone would be interested in this old man? But even if he knew, he would be happy to suffer a little. That was Zhang Guoqing, not to mention that he had an inseparable friendship with the long-dead old man Zhang, but he also admired this child very much.
"Our stone is up to you. If he is so old, he will let his uncle take him to visit the old man and the old lady at Zuo's house. Dad was really happy just now, and he was bored with such a big bowl of wine."
"I just don't know if it will cause trouble for Xiao Wu and the others. Do you think those people will say behind their backs that Xiao Wu borrows children to come to the door to make connections?"
Zhang Lao Er burst out laughing. Hairy relationship! It seems that his wife really believed him, Uncle Zhou was inferior to the Zuo family. That's good too, let me live my life with peace of mind.
