After returning home and unloading his luggage, Zhang Junping didn't even have time to distribute gifts to his grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters.
Then he was surrounded and returned to the big locust tree.
There is a big dinner in the village, right next to the old locust tree, where there is a warehouse for the production team.
Now that the fields are divided into households, this warehouse is free.
There were more than fifty tables set up in the warehouse, and everyone in the village, young and old, were all present.
Even if you make more than fifty tables by yourself, it will cost hundreds of dollars. The production team even killed a pig and two sheep for this purpose.
More than 500 people from the whole village gathered together, and it was really more lively than going to the market.
The children cried, the adults shouted, and some people gathered together to brag and spank. Anyway, the noise was more chaotic than five hundred chickens locked together.
Those who gathered together to brag and spank were divided into several groups. If you look closely, you will find that these bragging groups are centered around the eldest brother-in-law, the third brother, and the fifth brother.
The protagonists of bragging and spanking are naturally the eldest brother-in-law, third brother and the others.
I took a trip to Beijing and was really impressed.
After all, apart from Zhang Junping, they were the ones who traveled the farthest, and the place they went to was the capital, Beijing.
In the past, the farthest place for Zhang Junping's grandfather's generation and his father's generation was Zibo and Linzi.
At that time, Yingqiu burned coal in winter. Although coal was available in Yuandu, it was not sold to outsiders.
The villagers can only travel to Linzi, which is more than 100 kilometers away, to buy coal.
Use a wheelbarrow to push the grain to Linzi to exchange for coal, and come back to light the fire.
This is the farthest place that Zhang Junping’s grandfather, father, and their generation have traveled.
In our generation, it is not correct to say that the eldest brother-in-law traveled the farthest. There were also several brothers from the family who went to the battlefield in Vietnam.
Haven't returned yet.
The whole village had a big dinner, and the food was not the food, but the atmosphere. The whole village ate from noon until the evening.
Back home, I finally had a chance to distribute gifts.
"Mom, I bought these for you, a cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers. These cotton trousers are made of leather, so they will keep you warm. If you put these on your cold legs, you will definitely not do it again.
And this, Tong Ren Tang’s Bone-Strengthening Wine contains tiger bones. You can drink a small cup of it every day and your whole body will be warm!”
"Hey, boss, I'm already used to this. Tell me how much it will cost you to buy so many things?"
Your eldest sister wrote a letter saying that you have found a partner. It is very expensive to find a partner in this city. You don’t have to worry about your family all the time. As long as you can get your partner back, my mother will feel at ease even if she dies."
"Mom, look what you said, why would you die during the Chinese New Year? I still expect you to help me take care of my children!
Children are naughty, so you have to take good care of yourself so that you can have the strength to help us take care of our children."
"Well, I like to hear this, and I'm just waiting to have my grandson."
After coaxing his mother, Zhang Junping continued to distribute the gifts, "Da, I bought this for you. It's a fur coat made of wolf skin. Can you try it to keep it warm?"
"Not bad, not bad! This leather jacket feels so good when you put it on!" Zhang Yingyao put on the leather jacket, tried it on, and said happily.
Zhang Junping took out another dry tobacco bag and said, "Da, there is also this. This is the tobacco bag I made for you. The stem is made of ebony, the mouth is jade, the pot is made of brass, and I also
I bought you the best Northeast tobacco leaves."
"This is good, this is good! Put a pot for me quickly and let me have a taste." Zhang Yingyao took the pipe and happily urged Zhang Junping to fill him with shredded tobacco.
Zhang Junping obediently filled a pot of tobacco for his father.
After lighting the fire, Zhang Yingyao couldn't wait to take a puff, and then he praised it: "Well, it smells good, it smells really good! The tobacco leaves from the Northeast are just different. They are much easier to smoke than those grown in our village."
"That's right, this is not an ordinary tobacco leaf. This tobacco leaf is cut into shreds and smoked with orchids, and then sesame oil, koji wine, and several medicinal materials are added to it. You will not cough or mouth after smoking this tobacco leaf.
Dry."
"Good guy, there are so many things added in it. Beijing is indeed the place where the emperor lived in the past. These Beijingers are very particular.
Tell me again, what is added to this tobacco leaf?"
Zhang Junping was speechless.
Next year his father asked again what was added and what was its purpose.
It's nothing more than having something to say when you go out to show off.
I had to say it again, this time slower so that my father could remember it.
"There is also wine. I brought you two bottles of Maotai, but I brought back a lot of wine tickets. If you want to drink, just buy it yourself." Zhang Junping took out two bottles of Maotai and a dozen wines from the box.
Give the ticket to your father.
"Okay, thanks to the boss, I can also try what Moutai tastes like." Zhang Yingyao smiled happily from ear to ear.
After speaking, he glanced at the box containing wine, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Hey, don't you still have several bottles of Maotai in your box? Why did you just give me two bottles?"
"Okay, that wine is not allowed to be given to Zanda, and the eldest brother will give me two bottles?" Zhang Junping's mother said.
"Oh, yes, it's time to give it! I don't think there are still six bottles!"
"What about me? According to your wishes, you can only honor me and his father, but you don't have to honor your grandfather, right?" My mother scolded me very dissatisfied.
Zhang Yingyao touched his nose and stopped talking.
In this life, he owes nothing to anyone but his wife.
As a production captain, I don't have a big official position, but I have a lot of things to do. I rely on my wife to do all the work at home.
"Fifth girl, these are all yours! Put them on and see if they look good! Let me tell you, your sister-in-law bought these specially for you! There are three sets of clothes in total, one for the New Year and two for daily wear.
"." Zhang Junping directly pushed a box to the little sister.
"Brother, what kind of clothes is this?" The younger sister excitedly picked up a piece of clothing and marked it on her body.
"This is called a down jacket. It's warm and light. Go ahead and try it on!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Hey! I'm going to try it!" The little girl held the box and ran to another room to try on clothes.
"If you don't know how to wear some of the clothes in there, just ask the eldest sister." Zhang Junping shouted from behind.
The items given to the younger sister were basically clothes, and there were also a lot of clothes for girls to wear underneath. It was not convenient for Zhang Junping to buy them, so Huang Xue prepared them for him.
"Daguo, where's ours?" The second and third eldest children looked at it eagerly, leaving them alone without any gifts.
“I can’t do without you!
Look, big brother has specially selected it for you!
High school test papers and problem sets, I bought all the high school test papers from Xinhua Bookstore for you." Zhang Junping chuckled, took out a lot of exercises, and pushed the test papers to his two younger brothers.
"Okay, boss, that's a good job. You two don't go out and run around during the holidays. Just review at home.
This is a test paper from Beijing. Study hard and don't let your brother down." Zhang Yingyao was very satisfied with the fact that Zhang Junping sent his two sons practice test papers.
Boy, what gift do you want? Exercise papers are the best gift.
