"Um... Asahi's family has many relatives. I have to go to several relatives in a day until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I need the car for my own use." The general's mother pulled her son from the side. No matter what, it was okay. In-laws, if you quarrel, it will make people laugh.
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, don't scare Zhang Jing, she's pregnant." The general's mother-in-law came out and glared at her son as if to blame, but she was obviously talking about the general.
"I see there are a lot of cars in your village. If he leaves, why don't you just find someone to take him there? Either he has to use his car as a wedding car, or it's not easy for Zhang Dong to get married. Driving this car... ....”
Seeing that both parties were quiet, Zhang Dong's mother couldn't help but speak again. In fact, not only Zhang Dong, she also wanted to use Yang Dongxu's Daben as a wedding car. It's a multi-million dollar luxury car. Even the county magistrate's son probably wouldn't have such a good car when he got married.
"The base price of that car is five million, and the price is more than six million. A little bit of damage, and a touch-up of paint will cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Marriage is such a mess, if something unexpected happens, you are prepared to take your bride price Repair the car?" The general's face was starting to turn red, but he tried his best to suppress his temper and speak.
When the general's mother-in-law heard this, her expression changed, although she was not happy that her son-in-law said that her son had an accident when he got married. But it was really painful for her to pay tens or hundreds of thousands just to touch up the paint.
After all, compared to her son Zhang Dong, who was well-raised, she knew that it was not easy to have daily necessities.
"Be careful, how could there be an accident? And if you tell me that the car is not insured in the event of an accident? You have such a good relationship, he can let you repair the car?" Seeing that his mother seemed to be shaken, Zhang Dong was instantly unwilling.
He used the only multi-million-dollar Mercedes-Benz as a wedding car in the entire county, and he boasted about it. Not only with his soon-to-be wife, but also with his father-in-law’s family. When he was drinking every now and then, he would often brag with his friends. If he hadn't driven this car over when the time came...
"Get out!" The person who shouted this word was not the general, but Zhang Jing, who was also angry and blushing from the room.
"How are you talking? He is your brother, you little heartless boy..." Hearing her daughter shouting for her precious son to get out, the general's mother-in-law immediately became unwilling. Subconsciously, he showed off the way he used to teach his daughter when he was at home.
But in the middle of his words, he saw the general standing next to him with burning eyes staring at him, and he couldn't say the following words.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, why are we arguing again?" The general's father-in-law quickly came out to smooth things over.
What my son said was indeed a bit excessive, but just borrowing a car was a bit too stingy if he didn't even accept the offer from the wealthy Yang family.
Of course, he couldn't say this out loud, although he felt uncomfortable not being able to use a luxury car to pick up the bride and let his family lose face. But compared to his spoiled son, he had some intelligence and knew not to add fuel to the fire at this time.
There were many people on the street looking at the excitement, which made the general and his family feel a little hot on their faces.
"What's going on? The general has prepared the money for you. Zhang Jing, go to my house and ask your sister-in-law to get it." Daliang came over at this time and pulled the general aside. Due to the atmosphere, he was afraid that the general would beat his brother-in-law.
As soon as Daliang said these words, the faces of the general, father-in-law and his family of three instantly became hot. The son-in-law borrowed the bride price for his son's wedding photos, and he was the son-in-law who had made such a big fuss before that he even said he would hang himself and not let his daughter marry him. This made...
Zhang Jing's parents looked at their daughter at the same time. Can they talk about this matter casually?
"General, you have been with me for more than half a year and have not made any money. You must buy a house in the city. We spend so much money at the end of the year, and the family really has no money." Zhang Jing was not afraid of embarrassment and said it directly.
The general's family indeed has no money, but of course the lack of money does not affect his life very much. After all, the general's parents still make this money, and the transportation company that Xiaowu runs also has a share of the general, and he also invested a sum of money in it.
This, coupled with the purchase of a house in the county and the general's car, has indeed emptied the family's wealth over the years. So they always have people coming to borrow money, and they can only borrow money from people in the same village.
"What are you talking about? Isn't it just for you to buy a house in the county? It will be convenient for you to have children in the county in the future. Why do you say I have to buy it?" Zhang Jing's mother was not happy.
The general was too lazy to say anything, it was indeed their house. But now they have just lived in the renovated new house for a few days, and now it has become Zhang Dong's wedding room.
It was said that he would live there for a while and move out after Zhang Dong got a job and bought a house. But now anyone with a discerning eye could see that there would definitely be some wrangling in the future.
However, Zhang Jing was decisive. No matter what her parents said when buying a house, the general also persuaded her. He didn't even add his name to the house book. There was only the general's name in the house book.
And if the relationship hadn't been so tense at that time, she and the general thought that after buying a house in the county, and the general looking for a job in the county, her parents wouldn't have stopped them from getting married, otherwise she wouldn't have bought the house at that time. .
...
At the end of the year, the streets become more and more lively. Everyone has a festive look on their face, and large and small cars carry New Year's goods to their homes. I know I won't be able to finish all these things, and I will have to eat leftovers for a long time after the New Year. Even a lot of meat has been smoked and can only be marinated.
But it still can't stop people from buying new year's goods at the end of the year. This is actually a sequelae of being afraid of poverty in the past. During the Chinese New Year, everyone can’t help but return their money to adult goods during the Chinese New Year. Because in the past, you could only have some meat and fish during the Chinese New Year.
Looking at his son who insisted on following a group of children and grabbing pig urine bubbles even though there were balls and basketballs, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but feel itchy again.
"Dongxu, say hello to your dad when you go back at noon, and prepare three pigs for me tomorrow." The pork vendor on the street saw Yang Dongxu and said.
Usually, the pigs raised by the Yang family are sent to the slaughtering plant and sent to the supermarket. These pork vendors on the street all go to the countryside to collect and kill pigs.
But at the end of the year, many people's families feel that they are richer this year, so they will kill their own pigs, buy some of them, and keep some for themselves.
There are also families that made wishes last year, such as asking gods to bless them to make money in the coming year, or for their son to marry a wife next year, or to give themselves a grandson, etc., they will also kill the New Year Pig at the end of the year.
This has greatly reduced the supply of pigs for the vendors. Therefore, at the end of the year, these meat vendors on the street will come back from Dad Yang's pig farm to fill some gaps.
"I know, I'll tell you when I go back at noon, but I can't guarantee whether there will be any pigs, unless you have made an order with my dad before and he will keep them for you. Otherwise, they probably won't be distributed. The slaughterhouse in the city just took away one pig yesterday. The whole pig farm is empty." Yang Dongxu said.
When people in the countryside celebrate the New Year, people in the city naturally celebrate the New Year too. Although people in the city now have the awareness to sell as much as they eat during the Chinese New Year.
However, today’s shops and supermarkets are not like they will be closed during the New Year like they will be in the future. Most shops don't open until after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. They also need to save enough food for relatives and friends to visit from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, right?
"It was agreed before, but I said two pigs before. I said three pigs to you, and see if you can even out one more pig over there. If it doesn't work, I can only use two pigs to cope with it.
By the way, your brother-in-law left today’s pig trotters and legs for me. When will he come to get them? "My brother-in-law usually uses pork in Xiaocheng, and he kills it directly from his family's pig farm.
However, a pig only has four trotters and legs. The reservoir is not far from the county seat, and many people usually go fishing or eating. In rural areas, pig trotters have too many bones and are expensive, but in the countryside The ones sold at the farmhouse are pretty good.
Therefore, the small town often makes reservations for pig trotters and legs from the butchers in several nearby markets, and sometimes even asks for a few more large pig heads.
"It should be coming soon. His business has been the best at night recently. These things must be done by noon." Yang Dongxu said.
Braised ingredients such as pork trotters and legs taste better if simmered overnight. So in the small town, they basically braise it the day before and sell it the next day. It's too busy at night, so these things must be prepared before night.
"Your brother-in-law's braised pork tastes really amazing. It's even better than the braised vegetables on our street. Many people go to his place to buy braised vegetables without eating." The butcher said with emotion.
This man! You just have to trust your fate. I didn’t see that everyone in the Yang family is going well. My brother-in-law has a farmhouse. He was obviously not a cook before, but now the braised vegetables taste better than those in those time-honored braised vegetables restaurants.
"If you want to eat now, you have to book a table. Not only will it be sold at the end of the year. After all, there are many customers at the end of the year. It would be too rude if the guests order and there are no dishes." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Everyone's business is good at the end of the year, so the farmhouse will not only sell braised vegetables. Even during the usual April and May holidays, it is basically sold in fixed quantities, and it does not compete with the braised vegetable restaurants on the street for business.
Most of them are old customers. They take some back after eating, or pack them up in advance to eat. There are not many that are actually sold individually.
As for why Xiaocheng braised vegetables, which was not a cook before, suddenly became so good. Naturally, it’s because I went to the Yang Family Banquet’s kitchen to learn more, and then added some unique recipes, so it tastes good even if I don’t think it’s good.
When the two people said this, they had already arrived in the small town. They first handed people cigarettes and said a few words to the vendors. Yang Dongxu wanted to extend his hand to help but he didn't let him go. I walked home carrying a basket containing pig legs and pig's trotters. There was also a big pig's head in the box.
"If you're tired, just turn it down if you have a table reservation. Don't be so busy until midnight that your body collapses." Yang Dongxu smoked a cigarette and followed Xiaocheng home.
Xiao Wenchen can just stay on the street and hang out with those little kids. After being back for so long, Xiao Wenchen has become completely familiar with many people in his own territory. At this time, those who lost their children were basically stealing them in the middle of the night and abducting them in big cities or remote places.
If a stranger comes to the countryside for most of the day, he will be stared at for a long time. In my village, including those from all over the country, there were very few people who came to the market who didn't know Xiao Wenchen. There were so many informants who couldn't be lost.
