Chapter 896: Being a Scholar in the 1980s 24
Xiao Yuan knew the Zhang family’s idea and glanced at the Zhang family sinisterly.
Seeing that the furniture and the like were burned out, Xiao Yuan took Xiao Heizi and Xiao Baozhu home.
When he got home, he told Sister Xu and Wang Guifen about the matter, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt very relieved.
After Xiao Yuan finished this matter, he returned to school on Sunday afternoon.
Xiao Heizi and Xiao Baozhu took a bus to the county town on Monday.
They didn't have time to come to the door either.
Although the father and son were honest, they knew the etiquette. They brought some dried vegetables at home and eggs laid by chickens fed at home. In addition, they also brought two chickens that were prepared to kill for the New Year.
The things I brought were a great gift for visiting relatives in the village.
In addition to bringing things, Xiao Heizi also brought some money.
He thought of going to the city to buy something for Xiangling.
Both the father and son had never been to the county town. When they arrived at the county town, they really didn't know where it was. They found the steel factory after inquiring along the way.
They told the old man in the door to look for Zhang Heping. The old man in the door to ask for them, and then they saw Secretary An coming.
Secretary An saw Xiao Heizi and hurried over and said, "Brother Xiao, let's save it. Look, this child is really strong."
Xiao Baozhu quickly greeted Secretary An. He didn't know where to put his hands when he spoke, and he seemed very restrained.
Secretary An smiled and took the Xiao family father and son home.
As soon as she entered the door, Xiangling heard the noise. She came out of the house and saw Xiao Heizi and Xiao Bao, and hurried over and called someone: "Dad, brother, what are you doing? This is a cold day... hurry up and sit in the house."
Xiao Heizi looked at Xiangling who had just arrived in the county for a few days, but she had already put on particularly beautiful clothes. She looked whiter and more energetic.
He knew that Xiangling should be very good at staying in the Zhang family, and her food and clothing should be good.
Yes, my parents are just this daughter, so how can they not treat their children?
Seeing Xiangling's life well, Xiao Heizi also smiled: "I don't miss you anymore, so come and see you."
Secretary An put the things Xiao Heizi brought to the kitchen and took the two of them into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Xiangling quickly made tea and snacks.
Secretary An also said: "Xiangling, go and get a few oranges."
Xiangling agreed to get the oranges.
It is really not easy to eat some fruits in the middle of winter. Although it is open now, the supplies are not very rich. It is quite difficult to eat some fresh vegetables and fruits in the north.
The Zhang family made this little orange because it was thanks to human favors.
Xiangling smiled and brought a plate of oranges over, stuffed one for Xiao Heizi and Xiao Baozhuo: "Try it, this orange is so sweet."
Just as he was talking, Zhang Heping was back.
As soon as he came back, he said to Secretary An: "You go to the restaurant and ask for two dishes. Today, Brother Xiao and I will have two cups."
Secretary An went to a restaurant outside to buy vegetables and brought some braised food.
Zhang Heping looked at the time. It was noon at this time, so he said to Xiangling: "You go to No. 1 Middle School to pick up Ningning, and then call your brothers to come and have a meal together, and recognize the door."
Xiao Heizi waved his hand quickly: "Don't call her brother, just have a meal in the cafeteria."
Zhang Heping held Xiao Heizi down: "What are you saying? You raised Xiangling so old, we went to find her, and you let the child come back without saying a word. We are grateful to us, and you also know that my family is thin, Xiangling is just a girl, and her girl is young, and she needs someone to help her, so I really need help. Who can kiss her brother? Brother, you treat my daughter as your biological child, so I don't like it, I will treat your son as your biological child? In this relationship between our two families, why are you still polite to me? The child lives in No. 1 Middle School, just take this opportunity to recognize the door. If something happens in the future, it will be convenient for you to walk around."
This is reasonable, and Xiao Heizi really can't refute it.
Xiangling was already wearing a cotton jacket and walked out at this time. Zhang Heping also reminded him: "Put on gloves and be careful to get cold."
"I see."
Xiangling's voice was filled with a smile, and she seemed to live a very comfortable life.
After Xiangling left, Zhang Heping talked about the important matter with Xiao Heizi.
"Brother Xiao, I discussed with our family. I thought that it would be okay for you to keep doing this in the village. Fenggou Village has few land and produces little. When will it take to make a big fortune to farm, I thought about finding some ways for the children at home. The canteen in the cotton mill recruits people. I also heard Xiangling say that her sister-in-law's cooking skills are very good, so I asked if you would like to let her go over and do it."
As soon as Zhang Heping said this, Xiao Baozhu was so happy that he wanted to agree quickly.
However, Xiao Heizi stopped talking.
He frowned: "Brother, has this caused you to suffer?"
Zhang Heping smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Who's not the trick of cooking in the kitchen? Lao An has been in the cotton mill for so many years and has retired now. At least he still has some affection. This is not difficult."
He also said: "It's not a big deal for your daughter-in-law to come here. You can't let the couple separate. So, the meat-deployed factory also needs manpower. You have to have the strength to kill pigs. I just thought that it would be fine to save this child. If you want, I'll say hello to the other side."
"I do."
Xiao Baozhuo shouted without waiting for Xiao Heizi to speak.
He was so happy: "I am willing, I am strong, and I will kill pigs."
Xiao Heizi is so angry, but with such a big son, he can still be shameless: "I'm really troubled brother."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Zhang Heping waved his hand: "It's all my own family, what's the trouble? Don't look at the tiring work of killing pigs. It's really no less money than other places. Moreover, the benefits of the meat factory are also good. It's much more convenient to eat meat at home when you go in."
Xiao Heizi didn’t know this truth.
It was precisely because of knowing this that he felt that the Zhang family probably put in a lot of effort, so it was not as light as he said.
"Then do you think we need to give something? Zuo can't let you give me favors before giving me something."
Xiao Heizi asked Zhang Heping: "If you give money and gifts, I will go back and get it right away."
Zhang Heping smiled: "Oh my old brother, how can I deliver things? I have been in the county for so many years, and I have no face left. If you agree, go back and clean up quickly. After we have dinner, I will call the meat confined factory and ask Lao An to tell the leaders of the cotton mill that this matter is settled, but if people want people urgently, you have to prepare quickly and come the day after tomorrow."
"OK."
Xiao Heizi gritted his teeth and agreed.
He knew that this was a favor from the Zhang family, but for the sake of his children and grandchildren, he could only owe it.
They discussed the matter, and Xiangling took Xiao Yuan and An Ning back.
When Xiao Yuan entered the door and met Zhang Heping, he quickly called him uncle.
He was so respectful to Zhang Heping.
