Being singled out like this by the eldest sister, Old Monster Yang obviously couldn't stand it anymore, and he was about to get angry out of shame and anger.

Of course the eldest sister knew his temper and said casually: "I'm looking for the clothes Huzi wore when he was a child."

Immediately, he hurriedly entered the east room. His brother-in-law Wang Yonggui didn't come out the whole time. He probably took a rest early after a tiring day.

Zhang Guoquan didn't need his eldest sister, Yang Yulan, to point it out. If his father-in-law hadn't been for his grandson, it would have been like the sun had risen in the west.

It's no wonder that Zhang Guoquan didn't put in much effort, and his father-in-law relented, thinking that his eldest sister would go with him.

Before Zhang Guoquan could tell him, the eldest sister had already mentioned Huzi's schooling to his father-in-law. Although Wang Yonggui was the one who stepped in, Huzi's surname was Yang, and with the surname Yang, he was his grandson, Old Weird Yang.

Therefore, Huzi became Old Monster Yang's weakness.

No, for the sake of the grandson, even the ancestors have to give up.

But this matter is not that simple. My father-in-law has made such a big sacrifice and it is impossible not to get some benefits along the way. That is not his character.

Old Monster Yang raised the soles of his shoes, bent down and knocked the cigarette pot twice on the cloth soles, scattering the unextinguished cigarette ashes on the ground.

As soon as he made this move, Zhang Guoquan knew that his father-in-law was beginning to get down to business and was beginning to make conditions.

Old Monster Yang said: "I have contributed so much, so you have to tell the man named Wei that you have to set up a bronze statue of me in the school."

Unexpectedly, such a request was made, which made Zhang Guoquan very embarrassed. It would be easy to tell Lao Wei, but the key point was that it didn't make sense.

Those who can be erected as bronze statues are all famous people, heroes who have made great contributions to the country. What contribution has Old Monster Yang made?

It is nothing more than contributing to the tombs of our ancestors. Of course, this is a worthy contribution, but it is far from the point of erecting a bronze statue.

Seeing that the second son-in-law was silent, Old Monster Yang raised his head and thought for a moment before making a concession.

"If a bronze statue doesn't work, then a plaster one will do."

This is not a question of what material to use. Zhang Guoquan hesitated and said: "Dad, this is inappropriate. It is not a question of what material to use. The key is this figure..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment. If he directly said that his father-in-law had not yet taken the credit for erecting the statue, he would inevitably have another motive. He might get angry and refuse to give up the cemetery, which would be a waste of time.

of effort.

Taking care of his father-in-law's emotions, he changed his words.

"Dad, look, the cemetery in Beidi is so big, how many families there must be. If people see my dad erecting a statue, they will inevitably follow suit. Then dad, think about what the school will become in the end.

There are heads standing everywhere in the school. It is originally a cemetery. Children will not get used to it at first. If they see so many heads in the school, they will definitely be scared.

Huzi is still a little timid, what do you think of scaring Huzi out, and how can he study well?"

Zhang Guoquan deliberately brought Hu Zi up, because only Hu Zi was Old Monster Yang's concern.

Sure enough, Old Monster Yang fell into deep thought.

A long time passed, and Zhang Guoquan had no intention of urging him. At this time, you have to let him think slowly. The more you urge him, the more he will do the opposite.

After being silent for a while, Mr. Yang sighed softly: "Hey, that's the same truth. We have also been village party secretary, so we still have this awareness."

Zhang Guoquan breathed a sigh of relief. If Old Monster Yang was placed in the school, he really didn't know what would happen.

"If that's the case, then let's set up a merit monument and write your name on it." Old Monster Yang put forward a feasible suggestion.

"That's okay. When the time comes, we can write the names of all the families in the cemetery in the Northland on the stone tablets if they are given away for free."

This is the only way at the moment. If my father-in-law doesn't see any benefits, he won't be able to sleep tonight.

Old Monster Yang finally became happy: "Then my old man's name must be written first, so that every child can see my old man's contribution at the first glance."

Just when Zhang Guoquan was about to answer the conversation, his eldest sister Yang Yulan came out of the east room with a pile of clothes in her hand, all of which Huzi had worn when he was a child.

"Dad, look at what a great merit you have done by building a school for your children. Why don't you ask for anything in return?" Yang Yulan muttered and walked over.

Seeing the father-in-law making the biggest concession, the eldest sister's complaint inevitably made Yang's father-in-law unhappy again. Before the father-in-law could get angry, Zhang Guoquan quickly changed the subject: "Sister, these are Huzi's childhood clothes, right?"

"Yes, I can basically wear clothes made of ripped cloth in the past. There were a few holes in them, so I patched them up. Guoquan, don't dislike them."

"Sister, look at what you said, why would I dislike it?" Zhang Guoquan took the clothes and flipped through them casually: "This cloth is good. I will harvest some corn during this period, sell some, and buy some for Huzi.

A nice dress.”

"Hey Guoquan, don't spend that wasted money. We have plenty of cloth at home. Your brother-in-law's clothes are torn. I'll change them for Huzi and he can still wear them. But don't spend money on clothes anymore. They're expensive. Why waste that?

What are you doing with money?"

"Huzi is almost old enough to go to school. How can we do without a few new clothes? We are not poor and cannot afford to eat."

In fact, there is no need for Zhang Guoquan to say that Huzi has no shortage of clothes. My father-in-law has a great career, and he is the only grandson. How can he lack Huzi's clothes?

Zhang Guoquan feels that the little guy is still young and there is no need to wear any new clothes that are too good. Children grow up quickly, which means that if you wear them one year, you will no longer be able to wear them the next year.

During this period of time at home, we have been focusing on the little one’s food, so we don’t need to be so particular about clothes. We just pick up what’s left.

While he was talking to his eldest sister, his father-in-law suddenly interjected: "Have you finished taking all the clothes?"

The eldest sister said without hesitation: "Yes, dad, these are the clothes Huzi wore when he was a child. Now that he has grown up, he can no longer wear them. It would be a waste to keep them."

"So, what should my little grandson wear?"

Old Monster Yang's sudden words made Zhang Guoquan confused, "Little grandson? Are you talking about Xiao Zhaoyang?"

That’s not right, my father-in-law obviously didn’t mean that.

Yang Yulan said softly: "Oh, how do you know it's a boy or a girl? Even if it's a boy, when the second sister's child is born, he will be two years old and won't be able to wear it by then. It's just a matter of taking turns to wear it.

If she's a girl, then she might as well wear some flowery clothes, she can't be raised as a boy."

The moment his father-in-law nodded, Zhang Guoquan looked at his eldest sister's belly as if he had some realization.

She immediately said in surprise: "Sister, you, you are not pregnant, are you?"

"That's not good. I can have another grandson named Yang."

Old Monster Yang always gets angry when it comes to children. It seems that he has always had a knot in his heart about the arrival of little Zhaoyang.

Zhang Guoquan has no time to care about what his father-in-law thinks. No matter what, this is Bai Ge's home, and that is Zhang Guoquan's home. It is naturally a happy thing for the family to have a new member.

The eldest sister Yang Yulan nodded shyly and returned to the house.

She has obviously given birth to a child, and it stands to reason that someone who has experienced it like the eldest sister will not have the shyness of a girl, but she just shows it, and she is definitely not pretending.

As for why he was so shy, only Yang Yulan knew, Zhang Guoquan would definitely not be able to guess.

When working with her husband, she must have been imagining Zhang Guoquan. This was the reason why Yang Yulan showed shyness.

Even if she, Yang Yulan, was beaten to death, she would not speak out.

Zhang Guoquan stood there, excited for a while, and felt comfortable in his heart. He thought that if his father-in-law could first let go of the matter and let him build a school, it would be easier for other families with different surnames.

Before leaving, because his eldest sister was pregnant, he was also happy and even wanted to lift his father-in-law up, just to make his father-in-law do this with all his heart.

"Dad, you see, it's not enough just for you to be aware. There are so many families in the cemetery, and you need to go to the cemetery in person. As long as you tell me, I believe everyone will give you face."

Zhang Guoquan thinks so. My father-in-law is a native of Yangjiazhuang, and Yang is a common surname. With my father-in-law's prestige in the village, people with different surnames will never have any objections.

However, what his father-in-law said next made him realize that he had oversimplified the matter.
