The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 13, Debt Collection

  December 29th of the lunar calendar, time flies so fast, the Chinese New Year will be tomorrow.

  From this morning, several waves of people have come to the Zhang family one after another, including neighbors and credit unions, all of them are here to collect debts. They all know that the Zhang family killed a pig yesterday, and they have some cash.

   Sitting in the main room and looking at these familiar faces and listening to their unkind words, Zhang Xuan, with a heavy face, did not dislike them, and was even very grateful to them, thanking them for being able to lend money to his family to survive the disaster.

  Although he clearly knew that these people could lend money to the Zhang family, except for a few because they had a very good relationship with Ruan Xiuqin, most of them were willing to pay for the face of aunt Zhang Ru as a guarantee.

   Of course, there are also a very small number of people who just have spare money and happen to sympathize with the Zhang family in their hearts and are optimistic that Zhang Xuan is very likely to become a college student.

  Although most of the loans were not free and had to repay the interest, Zhang Xuan respectfully poured a cup of tea for everyone with a good attitude and expressed his gratitude.

   Ruan Xiuqin was very direct. She took out all the cash in the family, including Zhang Xuan's manuscript fee and the money for killing pigs, and then repaid a portion of the debt according to the proportion of each borrowed money, so as not to let people return empty-handed for the new year.

   Then it was to say good things in a low voice…

   Everyone knew what the Zhang family was like, and seeing Ruan Xiuqin so neat and tidy, although there were very few unpleasant remarks, they didn’t force them too much, and they all left after taking some money.

The person left, and Ruan Xiuqin, who was brought to the door in person, suddenly lost her strength, her face was pale, and she slumped on the threshold.

   "Mom!" Zhang Xuan and Zhang Ping were on the left and right, quickly supporting her, and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

   "I'm fine."

Ruan Xiuqin waved her hands and sat upright, then gently said to the two siblings, "Remember these people today, these people are the benefactors of our Zhang family. If you two have a conflict with them in the future, you can let them go. ."

   "Hmm." Zhang Ping hummed emotionally.

  Zhang Xuan was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart.

   In fact, he still has some money in his room, more than 2,100. Among them, 1,000 was mailed to him by unknown good-hearted people, and the rest were secretly hidden manuscript fees.

   He is not selfish, but wants to save money and do something to make a lot of money in the future. Otherwise, every penny earned will be repaid like this. Money can’t make money. The Zhang family’s tens of thousands of yuan in foreign debts, how long will it take to repay Ma Yue?

   In the afternoon, Ruan Xiuqin went out.

   Ruan Xiuqin said that only some of the creditors who came to the door this morning, and some of them did not come. Although they did not come to persecute the Zhang family, the Zhang family wanted to give someone an explanation. This is an attitude of being a human being.

   Ruan Xiuqin went out the door on the front foot, and Zhang Ping carried a bamboo basket on the back foot to go out to get pigweed in the soil. Yesterday, I killed a pig, but there are still three pigs in the pen. They are screaming every day, and they have to eat a lot of food.

   Zhang Xuan did not go to help with the hogweed, but used an axe and saw to prepare firewood for the New Year, which was also a big job.

   Chopping wood is a skillful job, and it is a labor of strength, but no matter what, it is a dirty job.

  6 dry pine trees thicker than a vegetable bowl, this is the task he must complete today.

   For half an hour, he sawed three big pine trees in one breath, Zhang Xuan felt very tired, his arm holding the saw was a little weak, so he had to rest first.

  It was too hot, so he took off the blue sweater outside and took another sip of hot water. He actually saw the fat kid in the neighborhood walking on the road. He remembered his strength, and smiled decisively at him.

   The fat kid is not very good at reading, but he is not stupid. He ran over and said, "Zhang Xuan, you are too bad, and you want me to help you with your work."

   Zhang Xuan quibble and said: "No, I just want you to guide me and encourage me. After all, I do less work, and I am born with hands."

   "Cut! Whoever believes that is a puppy." Having said that, the fat kid sat down anyway.

  Zhang Xuan began to saw the fourth pine tree again, and asked, "Why are you alone today, aren't your parents at home?"

  The fat kid said, "They went to Xinhua Railway Station to pick up my sister."

   "Your sister came back from a side business today?"

   "Yes, I also brought a boyfriend."

   "Where?"

   "I heard it's from Pudong."

   "Shanghai stock market Pudong?"

   "Yes, this is the bird place."

   Zhang Xuan said with emotion: "There are many rich people in this bird place, and your family is going to make a big deal."

   After chatting with each other, Zhang Xuan was busy for a while and then lost his strength, ready to take a break.

   At this time, the fat kid sitting on the tree couldn't see it, and urged him: "There is another tree that hasn't been sawed off. You are so bad that you are so soft. Bai grows so tall."

   "Didn't you see that I saw three trees in front of me?"

   "That **** too."

   "Yes, why don't you come?" Zhang Xuan handed over the saw with a look of contempt.

  The fat boy rolled his sleeves and said, "I'll come when I come. You can take care of me. I can't read you when you study, and none of the three of you, Zhang Xuan, is my opponent."

   "Really, you prove it to me today."

   "Zhang Xuan, you are a bitch, you just want me to chop wood for you."

  “…”

   Two hours later, the 6 pine trees quickly became a pile of broken wood.

  The fat kid was sweating profusely eating oranges and said, "Do you admit that I'm better than you?"

  The tired and paralyzed Zhang Xuan nodded like a chicken, and said while drinking hot water, "You will be my elder brother in the future, so please cover me."

   "Hey hey hey..." The fat kid made a pig cry.

   After chopping the firewood, he moved the firewood to the eaves and piled it up. Seeing that the eldest sister was still busy cooking pig food in the backyard, Zhang Xuan walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

   But after being seen by Zhang Ping, he did not let it go.

She snatched the student who beat the rice, and said very seriously: "Brother, you haven't read today, you should go to the book, there is still half a year before the college entrance examination, you must fight for your family, take the test A good university, don't let people see our jokes again."

  “…”

  Although I know that eldest sister's straightforward expression is true.

   But I don't know why, Zhang Xuan just doesn't like listening to it. These words always remind him of the despairing expression of his second sister when she failed the college entrance examination. He always feels that the Zhang family's life has entered a dark and low ebb, long and heavy.

   But because of the eldest sister's short IQ, Zhang Xuan couldn't say anything, so he had to squeeze a smile, "um", and entered his room.

   In fact, when he was reborn, Zhang Xuan always felt that he should be different from each other, and each life should be happy. It is also a realm to say goodbye to the pedantic past.

   He is reluctant to read silly and dead books every day. He really wants to make a lot of money while studying to change the status quo of the family.

   Let the family no longer be weighed down by foreign debts without dignity, and make life easier.

   But in this environment, there are not many ways to do it. He has good grades in reading, and he looks like he is immersed in studying every day, not only his sister is proud of his head, but his mother can't stop it.

  There are too many distracting thoughts, and his mind is not pure enough. Zhang Xuan, who can't find the feeling of reading, has to look at Zhou Huimin on the wall for a while, look at other people's eyes, look at other people's lips, alas, gradually become motivated...

  ps: This book will be recommended for testing at noon tomorrow. If someone loses the pk in the first round, there will be no follow-up recommendations, and it will basically go to the street. I hope you can help me when the time comes.

  If the results of this book are still on the street like the previous one, I will probably have to finish the book and quit the online circle in March.

   During the new book period, please ask for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, rewards, and investment book reviews. Data is very important!
