Rebirth: I Have a Spiritual Spring

Chapter 183 Zhang Baiyan’s troubles, returning to the village to worship his ancestors

Zhang Baiyan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

Father Zhang heard this and turned around and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Do you have any opinions?"

"No." Zhang Baiyan looked a little weak and said with a wry smile: "Dad, you can do whatever you want with the things here. Anyway, I will probably stay in Beijing in the future. I was thinking that the land in Beijing is very valuable, so I want to stay in Beijing." If you want to settle there, you must buy a house there. Did you know that a three-bedroom house in Beijing costs several million? I’m thinking about how many years it will take me to buy a house there, hey!”

When Zhang's mother heard this, she immediately became interested and asked, "How much does it cost? If it doesn't work, my parents still have some money. Let's take a look and buy the house first."

Zhang Boyan shook his head and refused, "The house is a big deal. I want to buy it with my own ability, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zhang Wanwan muttered: "Brother, renting a house in Beijing is very expensive. Why don't you accept Mom's suggestion and just treat it as borrowing it from your family without paying any interest. You can also save money on renting a house in Beijing and pay it back slowly in the future." That’s it.”

Zhang's mother nodded in agreement, "Your father and I can save a million a year now. To be honest, this money will not be given to you in the future. At worst, we will earn a few million to buy a house for you first, and then save some later." We will give several million to your sister. No one of us is partial to the other. As for the two of us, it will be enough to rent a house and shop in the future. You should settle down as soon as possible and start a family, so that we can really enjoy happiness!"

That's what she said, but Zhang's mother knew that neither Zhang Baiyan nor Zhang Wanwan would be able to get married and start a business as early as she wanted, and the couple would probably have to run a stall for another ten or twenty years.

Seeing that Zhang Baiyan still hadn't thought about it, Zhang's father joked: "Okay, okay, let's talk about these things later. It's very late, so you should go back to your room and sleep. The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, and we have to take the time to clean up the warehouse." There’s a general cleaning over there, and the hygiene inside and outside the house has not been done, so I just arranged some work for the two children.”

Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan were both speechless and returned to the room obediently.

In the next few days, Zhang Wanwan lived a rare and comfortable life. In addition to doing housework, she went shopping with Luo Jingyun and Bao Yaqing to buy clothes, and occasionally went to the flower and bird market. Of course, those ordinary flowers and trees could no longer arouse her interest. She just She wanted to find the boss who sold her orchid seedlings before. She had always had doubts about the orchid mutation. Unfortunately, the boss was a stall owner. This year, there was a lot of construction in Pu City, and even the market was included in the plan.

When she came over, she found the stall based on her memory, but found that the stall owner had changed. The previous stall owner had no idea where he was. Zhang Wanwan also blurred his appearance. Everyone thought he looked like him, but no one thought he was the same. I couldn't ask yet, I was so worried that I couldn't find anyone after three visits, so I finally had to give up.

Because Zhang's father and Zhang's mother decided to go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors today, they closed their business on the 28th day of the lunar calendar.

There is a custom in Qingpu to worship Tiangong on the 29th. This day is also the busiest time in Qingpu. Fireworks and firecrackers start from early morning until dawn. Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother have not been back to worship Tiangong for several years. They plan to make it more grand this time. On this day, I bought a bunch of things from the city and put them in the family van.

At dusk, Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Boyan drove a car back to Xiqiao Village, Qingpu.

This time they chose to take the expressway. Although they spent some extra tolls, at least the road was much smoother. More importantly, Xiqiao Village was not far from the expressway exit. After getting off the expressway, it took about fifteen minutes to drive to their destination.

The two cars broke the peace in the village when they entered the village. At this time, every household was preparing to have dinner. On the road, farmers returning from the fields could be seen gathering together to talk. Everyone saw the cars coming towards them from a distance. Look at them all.

Zhang's father sat in the back and specially opened the window. He said hello to some elderly people he met, and Zhang's mother did the same. The villagers aroused speculation along the way.

Some people work outside, so they can naturally see that the car Zhang Wanwan drives is worth a lot of money. They all say that the Zhang family's luck is not running out. After the death of Zhang Jianguo, another Zhang Jianye was born.

Some people were thinking about buying the Zhang family's homestead at a low price before. Now they heard the news and ran over to confirm. When they saw that there was indeed a luxury car parked outside the Zhang family's old house, they were frightened and shouted tentatively: " Is Jianye back? "

Father Zhang and his wife were cleaning the house, so Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan came out to take a look.

When the man saw the two brothers and sisters with outstanding temperament, his attitude became more friendly and asked: "Are you Jianye's son and daughter? You are already so old!"

The brother and sister didn't recognize the person in front of them at all, so they smiled and called Father Zhang.

Father Zhang came out to take a look and laughed loudly: "It's Brother Fucai. The house is in a mess now and I can't invite you to sit in. Why did you come here suddenly?"

Fucai saw Zhang's father dressed like a city man, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he replied with a smile: "People in the village said that you came back just as you were full and had nothing to do, so I came here to take a look. I haven't seen you before. You’ve been back at this time, are you planning to go back to the village?”

In the eyes of the villagers, if a person who has been away for a long time suddenly returns to the village, he must not be able to survive outside. How could he come back if he is doing well outside.

Father Zhang didn't know what the villagers thought of him, so he casually replied: "It's not like the children said they haven't come back to worship their ancestors for a long time. We didn't have time to come back when our two children were admitted to college. This time we just have time." I came back to worship my ancestors and pay my respects to God. Everyone in the village happened to be there during the Chinese New Year. I also want to build a house in the village and I just happened to visit the village chief. "

Fucai could no longer maintain his smile and asked in shock: "Are you coming back if you want to build a house in the village?"

"No! We have a house in the city, and we plan to build a villa for my girl. We can come back and stay for a while in the future." When Father Zhang said this, he felt like a nouveau riche, but this kind of It feels so good, almost like bragging.

Fucai looked at Zhang Wanwan who was working beside him in disbelief, and asked with an ugly face: "Why don't you build a house for your son? What kind of house should you build for a girl?"

From the bottom of his heart, he thought Father Zhang was bragging. Who would build a house for his daughter in the countryside?

Father Zhang frowned and became unhappy, "What's wrong with my daughter? My daughter is also my heart and soul! Besides, all children in our family are equal. My son will stay in the capital to develop in the future. If my daughter comes back, she will naturally have to give her to her." She built a house, and I decided to build a 300-square-meter, four-story villa, and the rest of the land would be used to build factories, which could also be rented out. "
