Zhang Jianxiong thought for a while and said: "Let's just do this. After the Chinese New Year, I can find a few people to repair it. I have ready-made materials and tools, and it will only take a few hours."
The manager of the business hall frowned and said: "What should we do these days? The Chinese New Year is the business day, so it can't be used here. Our work will be greatly affected, and the losses will be huge."
Zhang Yongsheng pursed his lips and said: "You deserve it. Who told your people to take action first? Besides, even if I give you money, can you find someone to repair it now? Now that everyone is preparing to celebrate the New Year, who will come out to work?"
Cao Weiguo nodded and said: "That's right. If you want to do this now, you can't find anyone, so why rush? Most of the counters are good anyway, and they can be used again after cleaning. Just use as few tables, chairs and benches as you can. There are many customers, and they all stand up, so it doesn’t take up any space.”
The business hall manager hesitated, then went out to call his superiors for instructions. He came back a moment later and agreed to Cao Weiguo's suggestion. In fact, he had no choice. If this matter continued, it would delay business during the Chinese New Year, and he would not be able to complete the sales task.
The next step was easy. Zhang Jianbin brought the drafted mediation agreement, and both parties signed and stamped it for confirmation. The manager of the business hall asked someone to apply for a mobile phone card for Zhang Jianxiong on the spot. Zhang Jianxiong promised to find someone to repair the damaged seats and benches and the broken glass counter after the New Year.
The mediation ended under the witness of Cao Weiguo, and the case was handled on the spot. He had dealt with too many cases like this, and it was not easy to delay New Year's Eve for too long. It was settled in less than two hours. When the police left, the clerk in the business hall had already finished cleaning up the garbage in the hall.
After finishing the matter in the business hall, Zhang Jianxiong and his son and the business hall manager sent Cao Weiguo to the police car. Along the way, Cao Weiguo also warned them not to dwell on this matter. At the same time, he warned the sales hall manager not to bundle sales again, otherwise it will not be handled so easily next time.
The manager of the business hall agreed with a grimace, feeling extremely awkward and frustrated. The sales method is determined by the above and he has no right to change it. But the government didn't allow him to do this, and this time he encountered such a powerful Zhang family father and son, which really made him feel miserable.
It was almost six o'clock when the Zhang family and his son returned to the family area of the freight station, and Bai Zhixuan had already called several times during the process. Han Aihua was also very worried and didn't know how to deal with this matter. When Bai Zhixuan heard about Cao Weiguo's handling, she felt relieved and comforted Han Aihua in various ways.
Going upstairs and entering, the New Year's Eve dinner at home was ready. Han Aihua and Bai Zhixuan were waiting on the sofa, looking at the time on the wall clock from time to time. It wasn't until the Zhang family and his son opened the door and entered the house that the two women breathed a sigh of relief, and the expressions on their faces changed from anxious to complaining.
"What's going on with you two? You can start a fight with someone even if you apply for a mobile phone card? Can't you just have a nice talk with someone during the Chinese New Year? Do you have to show off your bad temper?" Han Aihua was very dissatisfied with Zhang Jianxiong.
Zhang Yongsheng said with a playful smile: "Mom, I don't blame my dad this time. They had to bundle the sales, and they even pushed us first. Those people just have a lot of money, and they usually look down on others and think we are easy to bully. As a result They're not just a bunch of tough guys, they were beaten to a pulp by us."
Han Aihua glared at Zhang Yongsheng and reprimanded: "You have the nerve to say that? I asked you to follow me to do things, but you didn't hold back when your father started to do it, and you even started fighting. If it weren't for the police who have acquaintances today, you guys are going to celebrate the New Year inside. ! It’s not something that makes people worry.”
Bai Zhixuan pursed her lips, looked at the father and son, and persuaded: "Auntie, the matter has been resolved, don't be angry. The vegetables in winter cool quickly, so let's start dinner quickly."
Han Aihua couldn't say much for Bai Zhixuan's sake. He glared at the father and son, then turned back to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks to start eating. Bai Zhixuan hurriedly followed to help and offered a few words of persuasion. Zhang Jianxiong and his son looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads, understanding each other tacitly.
Although Zhang Jianxiong has always made the decision in the Zhang family's affairs, Han Aihua's words are also very effective. Whenever Han Aihua gets angry, the father and son have always made a tacit agreement not to speak, and wait until she is over. The two of them have formed a long-term tacit understanding, and they know how to deal with each other without even looking at each other.
Soon, the delicacies warmed on the stove were put on the table, and the most important dinner for Chinese people every year began. Han Aihua put a lot of thought into this New Year's Eve dinner. Not only did she start preparations early, but she also specially prepared some hard dishes for Bai Zhixuan.
Zhang Jianxiong deliberately took out the good wine he bought on the way back, and Zhang Yongsheng drank two glasses of wine with his father. Han Aihua and Bai Zhixuan mainly drank fruit drinks, and only drank two glasses of beer during the toast. The annual Spring Festival Gala is shown on the TV, and the atmosphere in the living room is cheerful and full of New Year's flavor.
The harvest of the Zhang family is good this year, and everyone is in a surprisingly good mood. Zhang Jianxiong and his wife have been running their cars outside for a year. Although it is very hard work, the income is much higher than when they used to work. Zhang Yongsheng made a fortune by selling antiques. The Zhang family has completely escaped poverty and has a bright future.
What satisfied Zhang Jianxiong and his wife the most was that Zhang Yongsheng and Bai Zhixuan secretly settled the matter. Although Zhang Yongsheng is not yet an adult, his parents are still very active on this matter. After the new year, the old Liu family, the neighbor in the same courtyard, will get engaged, so Zhang Jianxiong and his wife can feel proud when they go to dinner.
The family was chatting about the New Year, and Zhang Jianxiong kept drinking wine from his glass while talking about various experiences he had experienced over the past year. Zhang Jianxiong usually drinks very little while driving, but his drinking capacity is indeed good. He drank three-quarters of a pound of liquor by himself, while Zhang Yongsheng only drank a little more than two taels with him.
The Spring Festival Gala on TV is also very good, with wonderful song and dance programs and language programs. Especially the cross talk skit brought a lot of joy and laughter, and Bai Zhixuan laughed so much that she burst into tears. Zhang Yongsheng felt very warm when he saw all this, and his loneliness in his previous life gradually disappeared.
Time passed quickly, and the Spring Festival Gala came to an end in a blink of an eye. The hands of the clock on the wall approached twelve o'clock, and at the same time, sparse firecrackers sounded downstairs in the family courtyard. New Year's Eve firecrackers are the most solemn moment of the year for Chinese people, and they are also the most important etiquette from New Year's Eve to the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The crackling sound of firecrackers not only represents the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, but also dispels the bad luck in the past, indicating that the new year will become prosperous. Therefore, at this time every year, Zhang Jianxiong takes his wife and children downstairs and shoots firecrackers to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
This year, Zhang Jianxiong prepared a large box of various firecrackers early and took his family downstairs in a lively manner. When passing by Liang Aiping's house, Zhang Yongsheng hesitated and knocked on her door. He knew that Liang Aiping was the loneliest at this time and the one who needed comfort the most.
