Rebirth 05, starting from never dusting

Zhang Yi got up and found that many people had come to the house.

There are more people than during the Chinese New Year.

After hearing the news, many neighbors came to join in the fun and took some gift money with them.

After all, over the years, whenever there was a wedding or wedding in the neighborhood, the parents would go over to help and give them gifts.

"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and go eat. After dinner, help bring tea and water." My mother shouted to the stunned Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi has never experienced this kind of battle in his life, so he can just do whatever his mother arranges.

Just after taking two bites of rice, my father's voice came from the yard.

"Xiao Yi, hurry up, Lao Hong is here!"

What the hell!

Zhang Yi thought it over and forgot to tell Lao Hong about it.

He quickly got up and went outside to greet him.

Sure enough, Lao Hong's Audi was parked at the gate, and his father was giving him cigarettes.

As soon as they met, Hong Sihai pointed at Zhang Yi and said, "You kid, I don't even know how to say you're okay!"

"No wonder, no wonder, I've been too busy with work recently, and I really forgot about it!" Zhang Yi said angrily.

After Zhang Yi and his son entered the hospital with Hong Sihai, Zhang Tao's father happened to come over and saw the neighbors surrounding the Audi car.

"Whose car is this?" Zhang Tao's father asked.

"It belongs to Xiaoyi's friend. I heard from Lao Zhang that he seems to be a foreman. Come and give me a gift."

"Good guy, I saw he got a pretty thick envelope when he got out of the car. It's estimated to be more than 10,000 yuan!"

"Of course the contractor is rich. They all drive Audis, so getting 10,000 yuan as a follower is nothing!"

Everyone was talking, and naturally there was all kinds of envy in their words.

Hearing this, Zhang Tao's father became more determined to let his son apply for civil engineering.

"Let me tell you, not only am I unhappy this time, but Mr. Shen and Jia Xin are also unhappy." Hong Sihai scolded Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi could only admit his mistake by nodding his head.

Hey, I've already told them what's going on with these two guys.

When he came to the accounting area, Hong Sihai put the envelope on it, and then took out two small envelopes from his pocket.

"This one is for me, this one is for Mr. Shen, and this one is for Jia Xin."

The person in charge of keeping accounts is Zhang Yi's uncle. Looking at the thickness of the envelopes, the first one is almost ten thousand, the second one is half less, almost five thousand, and the third one...one or two thousand?

The uncle quickly opened the envelope, put his thumb on his lips, and began to count the money.

Relatives and neighbors of the Zhang family gathered around curiously.

The uncle had worked as an accountant in the village before. He counted the money and said, "Ten thousand."

"Hong Sihai." Lao Hong announced his name.

The uncle wrote a small sample on the draft next to him, raised his head and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes, yes." Lao Hong nodded repeatedly and praised, "The handwriting is so beautiful!"

I don’t know whether he praised other people’s names or his own.

"Five thousand, whose name is it written in?" the uncle finished counting the second envelope.

Zhang Yi said: "Shen Ye, Huo Hua Ye."

The uncle quickly wrote it down.

The third envelope contains two thousand.

Zhang Yi said: "This one is about Wang Jiaxin, a Jiaxin whose family is prosperous."

Hey, my little brother is bleeding this time. I will go back to the construction site and pull out a few visas to compensate.

"Come on, brother, let's drink tea in the house!" Dad grabbed Hong Sihai's arm and walked into the house.

After leading Lao Hong into the house, Zhang Yi accompanied him by serving tea and pouring water.

Hong Sihai took a sip of tea and said, "I'll sit down and leave in a moment. New projects in the city are going to undergo spring inspection this afternoon, so I have to go and prepare."

Zhang Yi said: "Okay, then I won't let you eat. I'll go back to the construction site in two days to have a show."

Hong Sihai smiled and said: "Brothers, please be so polite!"

In the yard, Dad was surrounded by many people.

"Old Zhang, who was that just now?"

Dad said: "Xiaoyi's friend at the construction site helped us with the heating of our home and the decoration of the house in the county town!"

"Ask him if he will install a heater. I want to install a heater this winter too!"

If the village is not demolished, people will naturally not turn on the air conditioner and start to envy the local heating installed in Lao Zhang's home.

"Hey, I'm a very busy person. I have several big construction sites in my hands, and I also have a decoration company. I'm very busy. People may not notice this small job."

Dad has learned to be more cautious now and is determined not to do everything for him. At least he has to discuss this kind of thing with his son to avoid the embarrassment of bragging and failing to get things done.

Zhang Tao and his father were standing in the crowd, and their eyes were almost red with envy.

"Report civil engineering, report civil engineering. My son must report civil engineering. Xiao Tao will definitely be better off than their family in the future!" Zhang Tao's father kept chanting in his heart.

Hong Sihai stayed in the room for a short while, and the eldest brother came out with his daughter in his arms to have a look with Lao Hong.

After all, they came under the banner of Full Moon Wine. They spent so much money, no matter whose face it was, they had to take care of their children.

Lao Hong teased the child for a while, but maybe because he looked a bit "scary", the child burst into tears, making Lao Hong particularly embarrassed.

"Brother, I have to leave quickly!" Lao Hong took out his mobile phone from his pocket and it kept vibrating. It was the manager of the new project urging him. "Okay! Slow down on the road!" Zhang Yi stood up to see him off.

When he came to the yard, Hong Sihai held his father's hand and said, "Brother, I have something to do at the construction site, so I won't stay for dinner today!"

"Oh, how can that work? Xiaoyi, please persuade me!" Dad said.

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said: "There is indeed something going on at the construction site."

"Oh, my dear, hurry up and get three packs of brown eggs!" Dad shouted.

My mother came over with three bags of eggs and said to Lao Hong, "Why are you leaving right after you came here? Stay and have a meal."

Hong Sihai explained again, then carried the eggs and got into the Audi car as everyone saw him off.

"Brother, I'll come back another day! Let's go!" Hong Sihai pressed down the window, honked the horn twice more, and raised his hand to say goodbye to everyone.

After the Audi drove away, my father sighed and said, "It's as if someone came here to give me money."

Zhang Yi chuckled and continued to go back to the yard to serve tea and water and wait on people.

At this time, the female relatives also appeared one after another, and came to the uncle one by one to give gifts of money.

Neighbors pay thirty or fifty yuan for free. Relatives of the Zhang family usually pay one hundred yuan. Some members of Zhang Yi's family pay two hundred yuan for free, while others pay five hundred yuan for free.

It was also the two brothers from the Zhang family who were getting better and better at it, winning face for their parents.

Otherwise, based on your previous family situation, if you took the gift money with you, they would come back with the same gift money.

After the ceremony, the female relatives ran to the sister-in-law's room to see the children. They all had smiles on their faces and said a lot of nice and auspicious words.

The child was just one month old and his immune system was weak, so everyone didn’t stay in the sister-in-law’s house for long. After seeing the child, they went to the yard and gathered in groups eating melon seeds and chatting, waiting for dinner to go to the hotel in town. Have a meal.

"Did you see just now that the Xuan family had a thousand followers?"

"See, when did their family have such a good relationship with Zhang Yi's family?"

"You don't know, but during the Chinese New Year, the relationship between the two families was very good!"

"What are you doing with so much? It looks like his family is rich!"

"Hey, I heard that Zhang Yi helped Zhang Xuan buy a wedding house and saved a lot of money!"

"Really or not, where did I buy the house? Why don't I know?"

A bunch of old ladies were chattering away.

At around 9 o'clock, my sister-in-law's family arrived, and my parents and relatives went to greet them.

Zhang Yi ran around carrying the teapot and was busy for a long time.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going at home.

After the time was almost up, his father urged Zhang Yi and several close relatives at home to go to a restaurant in the town to prepare.

By the way, bring tobacco, wine, sugar, tea, melon seeds and other snacks, and don’t leave out the important brown eggs.

Because there were so many people here today, Zhang Yi had to go back and forth twice to finish the processing.

Mom is working extremely hard today, not only having to prepare things inside and outside, but also preparing lunch for her daughter-in-law before everyone goes to the hotel.

My daughter-in-law has just given birth and cannot go to hotels to eat. She should try to avoid staying in crowded places to avoid spreading colds to her children.

After Zhang Yi had almost finished setting up the hotel, he contacted his father on the phone to confirm the final number of people.

"Add another table, the village secretary is here too!" Dad said on the phone, "Ask them to send a car to pick them up."

The full moon banquet in the countryside is very fast. From the time we were picked up by the hotel car to the time we finished the banquet, it only took 2 and a half hours.

Zhang Yi was so tired from the whole journey that he ate two steamed buns with the leftovers.

After a hard day's work, the three of us sat down to drink in the evening.

The drink you drink with the door closed must be Maotai.

Dad is in a good mood. Judging from the granddaughter's full-moon wine, when the eldest son gets married in June, there will be no shortage of people coming.

"Brother, I got my driver's license and want to buy a car." The elder brother thought for a while and said.

"What's your budget? What do you want?"

"Just get a Santana or Jetta!" The elder brother said with a smile: "Get one to practice first, and then change to a good one when you make money in the future!"

Zhang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this.

Okay, the eldest brother doesn’t have the air of a nouveau riche.

If it had been someone else dismantling the second generation, they would have built a good car to show off.

"Yeah." Zhang Yi nodded and said, "It's really good to practice."

My mother was still helping to pack things in my sister-in-law's house. She felt a little headache looking at the many strollers in the house.

"Mom, don't worry, just keep my mother's car and the one Xiaoyi bought, and give the rest away as a return gift." The sister-in-law said, holding the child.

My mother said, "I can't give it away. This thing is too expensive. When you move upstairs, put a few cars upstairs and a few back home, and let my granddaughter take turns driving them."

The sister-in-law couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and the child in her arms also opened her mouth and screamed, as if she was agreeing with grandma's decision.

After drinking, Zhang Yi returned to his room in a daze, opened his laptop and glanced at it twice. It was okay. There was not much information today.

But there is a message from Xu Ying.

"I received the lecture notes, and you did a better job than me! I'm going to start recording classes this weekend. When will you record the classes?"

Zhang Yi burped and typed on the keyboard to reply.

"I also plan to record a class on the weekend. It's been a long time. Let's record a class together then!"

"Okay! See you on the weekend!" Xu Ying finished replying and opened the webpage to check the weather conditions for the weekend.

Fortunately, it was a sunny day and the temperature was suitable. (End of chapter)
