Chapter 229: Wrap up a big red envelope and prepare to propose marriage
The Zhang family followed closely behind, especially Zhang's father and mother, who felt really proud this time.
Father Zhang carried his rake and walked home. "I've been wanting to do it for a long time, but I was afraid Chunmei would turn against me. Now it's done."
Zhang's mother carried the shoulder pole and knocked on the tiles at the door before leaving.
"Humph! I can't bear to become their in-laws after raising such a son who has affairs with women."
Just when I was halfway there, I saw my uncle and my third uncle rushing over here with my cousins.
The uncle was carrying a shovel. "Second brother, why didn't you call anyone for such a big thing? Didn't we agree last time when we were drinking that the three of us brothers would go together?"
Uncle San was holding a wooden stick in his hand and kept urging, "Brother, go back. Let's go beat him up again!"
Father Zhang felt both happy and sad, "We also wanted to call for help, so that we can appear more powerful.
But Chunmei rarely agrees, and I'm afraid if I delay, she'll change her mind again!"
Their whole family is worried about their stubborn daughter!
Zhang's mother said, "It's okay. With Dafu here, who dares to bully us?"
The old ones greeted each other, and the young ones gathered together.
The eldest cousin was still holding a fire stick in his hand, "Brother Dafu, when did you come back?"
Xiao Zhang, "I just got home today and saw Chunmei crying. That guy doesn't want to get married, he just wants to take advantage of her. How can I tolerate this?"
Everyone was secretly shocked.
Fortunately, this guy was too proud of himself and didn't do anything, otherwise Chunmei wouldn't have been able to bear it.
The little cousin was only 13 years old. He looked at Xiao Zhang with admiration and said, "Brother Dafu is back! My dad said you're making a lot of money out there! Hahahaha!"
Xiao Zhang felt his pockets and saw that he had nothing with him, so he quickly pulled his little cousin.
"Let's go home. Brother has brought you a gift."
Little cousin Dongzhi was the most tactless. Seeing several sisters-in-law surrounding Chunmei, who had swollen eyes, trying to persuade and enlighten her, she also ran in.
"Sister Chunmei, this scumbag should have been kicked out long ago. When Sister Chunmei finds someone a hundred times stronger than him, he will be so ashamed!"
Hehehe!
The crowd returned home.
Father Zhang, "We are so happy today, let's have a reunion dinner in advance!"
It happened that Xiao Zhang came back from Y City and brought back a sack of fresh vegetables, as well as salted pork and salted fish given by Sister Yuzhu.
Zhang's aunt, "Did Dafu bring this back? Oh, this dish is so fresh! What? Why is there loofah in the middle of winter? His uncle loves this!"
Dongzhi, relying on her small size and being adorable, squeezed in immediately and picked up a small yellow melon.
"Oh, it's so fresh. Look at the rich aroma. My mouth is watering!"
Xiao Zhang, "These are all grown in the vegetable greenhouses that our group leader's sister-in-law built. Even the rain and snow in winter can't stop them."
Father Zhang, "Oh, you are such a capable boss! Big brother, third brother, their leader's sister-in-law is a talented person.
Dafu had previously said that he wanted to introduce the group leader's cousin to him."
Uncle, "Really? This is a good thing!"
Uncle San, "How's their vegetable greenhouse? Is it easy to build one here?"
Xiao Zhang: "I've been to their hometown and seen it. It's very large and the investment is very high."
The three old brothers immediately stopped eating. They were living a decent life in the countryside.
But when I heard that it was large in scale and required a lot of capital, it was out of reach for rural families.
Xiao Zhang suddenly had an idea, "Dad, our group leader said that if I pursue Hongxia, you and Mom have no objection.
After the New Year, I'll bring some local specialties and visit Hongxia's house. If you're interested in the vegetable greenhouse, come with me to take a look."
His uncle nudged his brother and said, "Let's go together, old brothers. Each of us will give a big red envelope as a greeting gift, and we can also take a look at the vegetable greenhouse."
Xiao Zhang, "When the time comes, I'll ask the team leader to intervene and ask my sister-in-law to invest so we can build one here too.
But all the money I earn has to be given to my sister-in-law, as she has invested a lot.
When the time comes, those who help with the work will be paid the same as those working in the production team."
Now the eyes of the three old brothers all lit up, "That's a good idea."
The women all went to the kitchen while the men talked about family matters.
The marriage of a wealthy man should be settled early, no matter how much the betrothal gift costs.
There is also the issue of vegetable greenhouses, which is also very important.
Father Zhang suddenly looked at the third son and said, "Uncle, your son's in-laws have a relative in the commune, don't they?"
Last time I attended your wedding, I saw that man as someone who looked very respectable and virtuous.”
Uncle San chuckled. His son was two years younger than Dafu, but he got married early.
"Yes, my wife's uncle is in the commune. He's not a high-ranking official, but he has some influence."
Dafu, "Then invite him this time and say it's for my wedding. When we get there and see the vegetable greenhouse, wait and see his reaction.
With his help, it will be much easier for our sister-in-law's vegetable greenhouse to take root here."
On the sixth day of the New Year, all the Zhang family members put on new clothes and set off with gifts.
They followed a bus and arrived at Zhouzhuang Township, County A.
This time, Lu Yuzhu and her family celebrated the New Year here for the first time ever.
Relatives often come to visit, so Lu Yuzhu prepares a lot of snacks. No matter who comes, she grabs a handful and uses them to shut their mouths.
This saves us from having to make this and that request during the discussion.
Huang Hehua also brought her children back for a rare occasion to reunite with the Zhou family.
This made Hehua's parents very happy.
It turned out that when the second daughter was at home, they all blamed her for not helping her parents.
Now that we are far apart, I feel sad because he is my own child after all.
He actually prepared a decent meal and took Zhou Laoer and his family back to have a decent reunion dinner.
Old Man Huang said, "Lotus, we know you don't want to interact with your sister, so we specially brought you here. Let's eat as much as we want today and don't talk about anything."
Zhou Jianping looked at his father-in-law and thought, if only he could do it earlier, it would be so open and bright.
Huang's mother held Xiao Hongying tightly in her arms and said, "My dear has grown up so big that grandma doesn't even recognize her. This child looks just like a kid from a big city, hehehe."
"Put me down, put me down quickly, umm... I'm not a child anymore!" Xiao Hongying struggled desperately.
As he slid to the ground, he smoothed his clothes and sat next to his mother with a pout.
"Mom, I don't like grandma, I like grandma!"
