Chapter 288 Give in, give in

"Old Dan, please get off work now and take a half-day off in the afternoon. Later, tell Wang Mei and Liu Jinfen that they will also take a half-day off in the afternoon, and their wages will still be paid."

When he arrived at the shop at Qinghe Yiqiao, Huang Zhu saw Lao Dan and said to him.

"Okay! I'll leave then and come back tomorrow morning."

After Lao Dan finished speaking, he drove away on the agricultural tricycle.

While they were talking, Tao Qi had already closed the store.

"It's so cold! Do you think it's going to snow? The weather has turned cloudy." After locking the door, Tao Qi came over and said to him.

"It looks a bit like it, but it's time to snow. Every year around Christmas and New Year's Day, it almost always snows here. Let's go and pick up Feng Lin, Zhen Zhen and the others. Should you drive the car or not?

Shall I open it?"

"My hands hurt from the cold! You didn't even buy gloves for us."

"I'll keep you warm! I'll buy it for you in the afternoon or evening. In addition to gloves, there are also hand warmers."

After Huang Zhu held Tao Qi's hand with both hands for a while, they got in the van and went to the shop on Zhongyuan Road.

Huang Zhu had also contacted them before, including Huang Yu, and agreed with them to have dinner together at noon and go out to play together in the afternoon.

On the way there, Huang Zhu also called Lao Hu and the others and asked them to take a half-day break and their wages would still be paid.

"Where do you want to have lunch?" Huang Zhu asked Qian Fenglin and Xu Zhenzhen after they arrived at the Zhongyuan Road store and picked them up in the car.

"Look! Just find a place!" They all said.

"There is a restaurant selling beef bones and offal hot pot at the entrance of the square. Now that the weather is getting cold, we will go there to eat hot pot. It is close to the place where the Hui people live, and there are many shops selling beef and mutton." Huang Zhu replied.

They said.

He remembered that in his previous life, he studied collecting at Dongfeng Antique City. In winter, he and his friends ate there many times.

Next they went there together, and Huang Yu followed in a small truck.

There were several very narrow alleys there that couldn't be driven in. Huang Zhu and the others parked the car in an open area on the roadside on the other side of the square, and then walked into the alleys.

In the alley at this time, the business of those who opened restaurants was basically very good, which was much better than more than ten years later.

Although the city area at this time was not large, people lived relatively more concentratedly.

But more than ten years later, due to demolition, the city area expanded several times and the people were dispersed, so the business here worsened.

The shop near the front of this alley sells kelp and fat intestine soup. This is the best time of the day for business. Because the price is cheap and there is oil and water, many migrant workers nearby eat it here.

Huang Zhu and the others took a look inside and found that the seats were almost full.

After walking forward for a short distance, there is a fork in the road. There are several restaurants here that specialize in beef bones and beef offal hot pot. The air here also has the aroma of butter and cooked food.

"Huang Zhu, look there is an old woman over there. Her hair is all white and her eyes seem to be invisible."

When he was about to find a hot pot restaurant and walk in, Qian Fenglin pointed to a place on the left near the fork and said to him.

Following the direction she pointed, Huang Zhu took a look and found that there was indeed a gray-haired old man holding a bamboo pole in his hand and using it to explore the way.

"Give way, give way!" The old man was still talking while exploring the way.

He does know this gray-haired old man. In his previous life, he heard the owner of a restaurant talk about her when he was eating here.

It is said that this old woman lives nearby, and the reason why she is blind is because she is angry with her son and daughter-in-law!

The owner of the restaurant did not say more specific reasons.

He was curious and ate at that restaurant several times, and even asked the boss to inquire about it.

Later, the boss also said that the reason was that the two daughters-in-law let their sons fight for the family property.

The eldest son married first, and the daughter-in-law he married was the kind of person who took advantage of everyone, took advantage of it, and wasted no money. She also liked to stir up trouble everywhere.

The younger son will get married a few years later, and the wife he marries is also the kind of scheming and calculating person.

Before the younger son got married, the entire family lived together. Although the eldest daughter-in-law liked to take advantage, she could still manage to survive.

After the younger daughter-in-law married into the family, the two sisters-in-law no longer had to deal with each other.

The eldest daughter-in-law is used to taking advantage, and she will definitely want to continue to take advantage. Although the younger daughter-in-law married later, she is not a vegetarian.

After that, we quarreled all day long, arguing about dividing the family property.

The relationship between the two brothers is also not good, and they have often fought since they were young.

Later, the younger daughter-in-law always said in front of the younger son that they had suffered a loss and asked the elder to share more when dividing the family property.

The eldest daughter-in-law would definitely not be willing to do so. She said that she had been here for a few more years and had done a lot for the family, so when she asked the elders to divide the family property, she would also share more.

And this old couple does have some family property, including the house left by their ancestors and several stores they bought with their own money when they were young.

We have divided families several times before, but the daughters-in-law did not agree.

As the saying goes, "When the family is in harmony, everything will be happy!" With such quarrels, everyone in the family will not live well.

During a quarrel, my father-in-law became angry and had a high blood pressure.

The stroke was so severe that I basically lost my ability to take care of myself, and passed away in less than a year.

After the father-in-law passed away, the two sons and daughter-in-law started to fight over the division of the family property.

I heard that during a quarrel, the two brothers even used knives and cut each other.

And this quarrel made the old lady so angry that she went blind.

I don’t know how many two brothers can do this to save their family property, but I guess there aren’t many.

As for the distribution of their family property later, it is said that some of it was divided, but some of it was not negotiated. It is estimated that they will have to wait until the old mother passes away and the money to buy the house will be divided equally.

The boss said that the reason why the family was like this was because the children at home were not well educated since they were young, and the two daughters-in-law they later married did not find reasonable and virtuous people.

My wife was so angry that she suffered a stroke and later passed away. The old lady must also have resentment. Later, her son and daughter-in-law continued to make noise, and she must have become even more angry.

He believed that people suffered strokes due to anger, but that they blinded their eyes with anger. Huang Zhu didn't quite believe it, but he didn't rule out the possibility.

"Give way, give way!" The old man used a bamboo pole to find the way and quickly walked to Huang Zhu and the others.

Without looking at the old man again, Huang Zhu and the others found a popular beef offal and beef bone hotpot restaurant and went in, then found an empty seat and sat down.

Because the business is very good, the beef bones and offal in the hot pot restaurant have been cooked in the morning. The cooked food here is weighed by the kilogram. You can weigh as much as you want. If there is not enough, you can add more at any time.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they only sell these here. If you want to eat some other home-cooked dishes, the chefs here will also cook them for you.

Huang Zhu ordered three pounds of beef bones and two pounds of beef offal. He didn't order any other home-cooked dishes. He came here specifically to eat this, and then blanched some cabbage, spinach and other side dishes.

In winter, eating hot dishes in hot pot will also keep you warm.

Not long after, the pot was brought to the table, and then they started eating.

Considering that someone was driving, he and Huang Yu both decided to drink a little, but they had to go out to play in the afternoon, so they didn't plan to drink more.

"Huang Zhu, you brought us here to eat this hot pot. Have you eaten here before?" Tao Qi asked him while he was eating.

"Yes! I've eaten here a few times. What do you think of the hot pot here?"

"Not bad!"

“Tastes great!”

“It’s delicious!”

They all said.

"Where do you want to play in the afternoon?" After eating for a while, Huang Zhu asked Tao Qi and the others.

"We are not as familiar with this city as you are, so you should tell us about the place!"

"Then let's go to the park in X City for a while. It's close to here. The park is on the edge of the moat, and there are cruise ships in it. There is a zoo next to it, and you can also go to the zoo to see it."

"Okay! Let's go there to play in the afternoon."

After the meal was finished, they no longer felt so cold.

After sitting for a while, Huang Xiang paid the bill and they went to the park.

In the afternoon, they went to the zoo first. After buying tickets, they all went in to watch.

The zoo is not big, but there are still some types of animals in it, such as tigers, brown bears, foxes, monkeys, peacocks, turkeys, wild boars, sika deer, etc.

While looking at these animals, they also bought some food for the animals to eat.

After leaving the zoo, they came to the riverside and then took a detour back to the park.
