My village can't be like this

Chapter 482 Consideration

Zhang An had just finished helping his two uncles pick kiwi fruits at home. Wang Fang immediately assigned him a task before he had a day off.

"Xiao An, the red eggs have been prepared in the past few days. They will be sent out in the next two days. Qiqi will be full moon in a few days."

The red eggs given to children when they are full moon must be given away before the full moon, so that the child can get hundreds of dollars to buy clothes for the child.

Wang Fang's eyes are now full of Xiao Siqi's grandson, even more than when Zhang An was born more than 20 years ago.

For the past month, she has been counting the days almost every day, for fear of missing a day.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. I will send some to the city tomorrow, and then I will send them to everyone in the village when I come back."

Everyone in the village is relatively close to each other. Even if everyone goes out to work during the day, they can still go to see them off when they come back at night. There is no need to worry about this.

The city is relatively far apart, and the uncles and aunts in the family home have to be busy at work during the day. Taking advantage of tomorrow and Saturday, when everyone has free time, Zhang An thought of sending them there first.

Originally, there was a relationship that was beyond our reach, but I have a very good relationship with my father-in-law's family and have been colleagues and neighbors for decades.

It's okay if others don't mention it, but when Zhang An was there, many uncles and aunts spoke up, and even went to the hospital to visit Su Ying and Xiao Siqi. Zhang An had to go anyway.

Wang Fang nodded after hearing this, and then picked up the phone to call Xiao Siqi's grandmother.

Zhang An originally handed her his mobile phone, but she never got used to it, so she was still used to using the landline.

After the phone call ended, the two parents chatted about home affairs around Xiao Si for a long time before getting down to business.

It turned out that Wang Fang called Wu Qiuping because she was worried that some people in the city did not understand the customs. When Zhang An went to deliver red eggs, they would not know, so she did not want to give money to Baijia, but wanted Wu Qiuping to go there first. Let the people know.

In fact, the money does not cost much, and their family is not short of money, but the intention must be there. After all, it is about his only grandson, and Wang Fang is more active than anyone else.

As soon as Wang Fang told Wu Qiuping, she understood clearly in her heart that she wanted to tell others that there is such a custom, which is to bring blessings to everyone for her children, but at the same time, she also had to explain it clearly to others, so that others would not misunderstand that her family was Come to your door and ask for money.

Wu Qiuping agreed cheerfully and said she would go out for a walk after hanging up the phone.

After all, little Siqi is also her grandson, and she is the grandson right in front of her. She loves him more than anyone else.

Early the next morning, Zhang An got up at dawn.

Little Siqi seemed to be able to feel Zhang An's movement, and woke up too. When Zhang An got dressed, he looked back and found that the little guy was staring at him, still babbling in his mouth.

Zhang An didn't wake up Su Ying because little Siqi didn't wake up because she was hungry.

If he is hungry, he will cry to the adults in the family.

"Come on, let daddy have a good time. Dad has something to do today, so he won't pick you up to play with."

With that said, Zhang An lowered his head and kissed little Siqi's chubby face.

Zhang An is not surprised that his son wakes up so early in the morning, because a few days ago, he found that little Siqi's drowsiness was relatively light and he woke up earlier every day.

He is simply more self-disciplined than Zhang An, and he doesn't cry or make trouble after waking up. He babbling on the bed and pouting.

Normally every morning, Zhang An would hold little Siqi around the house after he woke up.

But today he had to rush to the city early, so he couldn't tease the little guy.

It's only six o'clock now. If we rush to the city, it will be almost eight o'clock. By this time, everyone has already returned from shopping for groceries, and it's just a good time to fuck other people at home.

"Mom, Xiaoying hasn't gotten up yet, please hold Qiqi first, I'm ready to leave."

After giving Xiao Siqi to Wang Fang, Zhang An began to load the prepared eggs into the car.

Su Ying hasn't woken up yet. She is still a little sleepy like when she was pregnant with little Siqi, but it's not as serious as that time.

It may also be that you have just given birth to a baby and have not yet fully adapted to it.

When Wang Fang heard this, she immediately put down what she was doing. Nothing was as important as raising her grandson. This was a wish she had been looking forward to for many years.

He took the back fan and put little Siqi on his back. While doing the housework, he turned his head and teased little Siqi.

Zhang An looked at this scene and felt very touched in his heart. He must have been brought up by Wang Fang like this when he was young.

In fact, Zhang An really misunderstood this. When he was born, it was still a big pot of rice. After Wang Fang finished confinement and recovered her health, she went directly to work in the fields.

Basically, Zhang An's grandparents or Zhang Jianguo carry him back and forth to work every day.

It happened to be the autumn harvest at that time, and the work in the fields was very busy. The adults at home had no time to play with him. It would be nice to be able to carry him on his back.

When he arrived at the family compound, Su Shaowen was already waiting for him downstairs.

In fact, it didn't count as waiting for him, because at the moment Su Shaowen was teasing the pair of clever little orioles with others in the pavilion.

"Xiao An is here. Go home and have something to eat. Your mother has already prepared it."

Seeing Zhang An driving in, Su Shaowen got up and walked over.

Usually Zhang An comes here at ten o'clock. It is still so early now, which means that Zhang An sets off very early.

Zhang An didn't say anything, and followed his father-in-law home to have breakfast.

Because he was going to deliver red eggs to others later, not everyone knew him. Su Shaowen didn't care much about it, so he asked Wu Qiuping to take him there.

After finishing breakfast, he followed Wu Qiuping carrying the red eggs.

Anyway, he went door to door and knocked on the door. After meeting people, Wu Qiuping taught him how to address each person, but basically he called them uncle and aunt, and the older ones called grandparents, but there was an additional process of introducing the surname.

This was the first time Wu Qiuping took him out to meet people since he married Su Ying.

The people who came were also very enthusiastic, and happily accepted the red eggs sent by Zhang An, and then gave Zhang An the prepared rice and hundreds of money.

Many people in this courtyard knew about such a thing, but some people didn't know much about it, so they found it very fresh and became even more enthusiastic about Zhang An.

Arriving at the door opposite his mother-in-law's house, Zhang An reached out and knocked on the door as before.

The person who opened the door was an old man, probably sixty or seventy years old, similar to Zhang An's second grandfather.

"Grandpa Chen, little Siqi is about to be one month old. I'm here to give you red eggs."

This old man, Zhang An, knew him as a retired employee of Su Shaowen's company. When Su Shaowen first started working in the company, he was the one who took care of him.

Speaking of which, he can be regarded as Su Shaowen's master, so the relationship between the two families is not bad.

Moreover, Old Man Chen is one of the few people who raises birds in this compound, so it is more convenient to get together with Su Shaowen.

Especially the pair of little orioles that Zhang An gave to Su Shaowen made Old Chen greedy. He had always wanted Zhang An to get him a pair, or help him train his two little thrushes.

It's just that Su Ying was about to give birth before, and Zhang An was so careless that he never felt embarrassed to say anything.

Old Man Chen has no one else in his family, only one son, but he was transferred to the provincial capital after graduation.

It is said that other members of his family were unjustly accused and lost their lives during the great turmoil many years ago.

Even he himself was sent down for many years. Later, after a thorough investigation by the superiors, they were cleared and he was able to return to the city.

"Okay, okay, I've been waiting for a long time. When little Siqi grows up, remember to bring him here often."

Then Old Man Chen accepted the eggs, then turned back to the house and took out the prepared things and handed them to Zhang An.

"Grandpa Chen, this can't be done. Just having one intention is enough. This is too much."

As soon as Zhang An saw the rice and money in the bowl, he immediately refused.

No one else, because what Old Man Chen gave was not a small amount of money, but a full hundred yuan.

"Take it if it's given to you. It's for little Siqi, not for you. Besides, I've always treated Xiaoying as my granddaughter, and little Siqi is my great-grandson. Stop messing around."

Old Man Chen didn't care about Zhang An and just stuffed the money and rice into the bag he brought.

In fact, Old Man Chen can do this partly because he has been watching Su Ying grow up.

On the other hand, because he lived across the street, every time Zhang An sent something to Wu Qiuping, he would give one to the old man who lived alone.

Human hearts are made of flesh. If you are kind to others, others will be kind to you.

The day little Siqi was born, Old Man Chen was the first to visit the hospital.

"Okay Xiao An, since it was given by Grandpa Chen, just accept it. Grandpa Chen is not an outsider."

Seeing that Zhang An was in a dilemma, Wu Qiuping spoke to Zhang An.

They have lived together for decades, and they have long known the old man's temperament.

"Thank you, Grandpa Chen."

After the mother-in-law spoke, Zhang An did not refuse.

"What's the point of thanking you? If you want to go to another place, I won't keep you here."

Old Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, knowing that Zhang An was going to another house, so he did not pull Zhang An to continue talking.

It took Wu Qiuping a whole morning to walk through the entire family compound with Zhang An. Zhang An always put on a smile when meeting people, but now his face was frozen with laughter.

In the afternoon, Zhang An went to the Forestry Bureau again. As soon as the eggs were delivered to everyone, they shelled them on the spot and ate them.

Because they all know that Zhang An's eggs are delicious. They just had lunch now and can be used as an after-dinner snack, although the nutrition is indeed much better.

Afterwards, Zhang An went to Grandpa Su Ying's place, took a look at the two elders, and then returned to the village.

In the evening, after dinner, Wang Fang began to urge him again.

Zhang An originally planned to deliver it to everyone in the village the next day, but Wang Fang said that this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, or it would take one day.

There was no other way, as he was the father of the child, so he could only continue to carry the egg on his back and run away.

"Uncle, I've got red eggs for you."

The first person to go was uncle Zhang Jianwen's house. Zhang Ping was not at home at the moment, only the uncle and his aunt were sitting in the yard after dinner.

"Haha, I was telling your aunt when I could eat your eggs, and here you are."

The old aunt took the eggs and went home to get him rice and hundreds of money. Zhang Jianwen also pulled a stool over and asked him to sit down.

Zhang An originally didn't plan to sit down because he was going to the next restaurant soon, but Zhang Jianwen asked him to sit down and asked him something.

"Seeing that there are only a few days left, I see there is no movement at your house. Are you not going to put out the baby's full-moon wine?"

Zhang Jianwen left Zhang An behind just to ask him about the Full Moon Wine.

Families in the village do not have to hold a full-moon ceremony for every child born, but they basically do so for the first child.

Not to mention a grand event, but at least a few tables should be set up, relatives and friends should be invited, and neighbors can go through the ceremony.

This kind of thing usually requires several days of preparation in advance, but it was already time. Zhang Jianwen hadn't seen any movement at Zhang An's house, so he asked Zhang An.

"There are still many things to do in the future. Let's not do it this time. Everyone is already suffering from famine. If I set up a banquet here, it will only make things worse."

Originally, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo also mentioned this matter at home, but then the family thought about it and decided not to do it at all, because Zhang An also had his own considerations.

Based on their family's popularity in the village, people in the village will basically come over if they do it. It's impossible for them to come empty-handed. Even if they say they don't want it, they will prepare more or less gift money.

Floods just broke out this year, and the harvest of crops in the fields is not very good. Even if there is no famine for many people, this year will not be so easy.

So Zhang An thought it would be better not to do it, so that no one would have to bear any additional burden.

"Let's put it in front of you. After all, Siqi is the first child in your family. It can't be justified if you don't put it in the right place. This is not my opinion alone, but everyone else's. It's just that they are too embarrassed to ask you, so they come to me instead. Come and ask."

After listening to Zhang An's words, Zhang Jianwen also understood what he meant, but after extinguishing the fireworks on the pipe, he spoke again.

In the past few days, people in the village who met him would quietly ask him whether Zhang An's family had given birth to a eldest son, but there had been no news for so many days, and whether he wanted to invite everyone to a full-moon wine.

"Don't worry. Although our village also suffered a disaster this year, everyone's life is better than you imagined. Moreover, everyone's life is indeed quite depressed this year. Just treat it like a banquet to make everyone happy."

At this point, Zhang Jianwen showed great confidence in front of Zhang An.

Although no one has much harvest this year, the income from the lotus pond in the village has increased several times this year compared to last year.

In addition, all the yards built this year have been rented out, and now there is not a lot of money left in the village.

This year is indeed not going well for everyone, so during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Jianwen plans to distribute all the money as a surprise to everyone.

He has already settled the accounts with several people in the village, and the money he will get will be no less than the amount of millet sold in the fields for one season.

　I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance, good health and good fortune in the new year. I will update as usual tomorrow.
