Chapter 71 The Team Has Grown
Cui Changjia said sincerely, "Aunt, every family has its own problems. Look at our family now. How many people are laughing at us and waiting to see us laugh at us."
Aunt Zhang wiped her eyes and said, "Alas, your uncle and I were born with bad luck. We could not have children in our lifetime. We had a son and a daughter, so we were considered a complete family. The daughter got married two years ago and didn't come back often. Last year, the son got married. Originally, our village built a yard for us to live with our son and his wife."
"Later, my daughter-in-law was not happy to live in the village and insisted on buying a house in the city. Your uncle and I felt that we would have to rely on them for our retirement, so we gritted our teeth and agreed. We didn't have enough money at the time, so my son said we should sell the newly built house in the village and then we would move in with them in the city."
"Your uncle and I are so happy. Who would have known. Who would have known." Aunt Zhang started to cry again. "The house has been sold. We are not allowed to live in the house in the city. The house we live in now belongs to his second uncle. What a beast!"
Aunt Zhang cried louder and louder, sobbing as if she was crying out all the troubles she had experienced in her life.
Cui Changjia would never have imagined that the situation in Zhang Fengming's family would be like this!
She quickly got up and went to look for tissues, but couldn't find any after searching for a long time. She had no choice but to pull a towel from Aunt Zhang's house and stuff it into her hand, "Aunt, please don't cry."
To be honest, Cui Changjia also felt very angry when he heard such things. Is it easy to raise a child? It's so deceptive!
After finally finding someone to pour out her grievances to, Aunt Zhang was not going to give up. She sobbed for a long time before she stopped.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Cui Changjia said, "Then Mr. Zhang should go back to the state capital. Why doesn't he go back?"
Aunt Zhang blew her nose and said, "Then the call was made to the children. They don't care whether we live or die."
This incident made Cui Changjia extremely glad that he came.
"Aunt, is my uncle willing to go back?" Cui Changjia asked.
"Why wouldn't I? He's been thinking about your family every day. He called your people a few days ago, and when he heard that they had gone back, he couldn't sit still." Aunt Zhang said embarrassedly, "My daughter, to be honest, your family pays you a high salary. We also want to save some money while your uncle Zhang is capable. Otherwise, who can we rely on?"
Aunt Zhang started to cry again as she spoke.
"Aunt, don't cry," Cui Changjia said, "If Mr. Zhang is willing, you can come back with me. Then you can work in the cafeteria, clean the factory, and I will pay you 1,000 yuan a month."
The canteen needs someone to cook and the factory needs someone to clean up. Since this is the case, it would be better to ask Aunt Zhang to go as well, so that the old couple will feel at ease together.
Aunt Zhang was shocked. "Give me a salary too?"
Aunt Zhang's frightened expression also contained joy. One thousand yuan, that's more than ten thousand yuan in a year!
"Yes, but the conditions in our factory are not as good as before, and the work cannot be divided into such fine details. You will have to work harder."
"What's the big deal? As long as we can live here, it's fine, my girl," Aunt Zhang started crying again, "How can you be so nice?"
"Aunt, don't cry. The factory provides food and accommodation, so I can definitely save the money. I'll buy a house in the state capital, and you and Mr. Zhang can live there in your old age!"
Aunt Zhang was shocked again. "What did you say? Buy a house in the state capital? How can I afford it?"
"Why not? Mr. Zhang's salary is not low, and you can earn a salary too, so you can make a down payment and pay it back slowly. Mr. Zhang is only fifty, and there is still a long way to go. Aunt, we don't have to worry about having no hope."
Aunt Zhang straightened her back when Cui Changjia said that. "Can you do it?" "We can't buy a big house, but we can buy one with 50 or 60 square meters. Anyway, it's enough for you two old people to live in."
Aunt Zhang was delighted. "Girl, please sit down. I'll go kill the chicken!"
"No need, Aunt Zhang, don't bother."
"It's already noon, we have to eat. I'm happy today, let's kill a chicken!"
Cui Changjia held Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt, please don't bother me. If you and Mr. Zhang want to go with me, why don't you call Mr. Zhang back and let's pack up and go back to the city. My father and my eldest brother are still waiting for my good news in the city."
Aunt Zhang was also a capable person. She asked Cui Changjia to wait at home while she went to the village to find Zhang Fengming.
Not long after, Zhang Fengming came back with Aunt Zhang, looking excited. Without saying a word, he started packing and prepared to go to the provincial capital.
Aunt Zhang stopped him and said, "It's almost noon. We have to eat lunch and leave."
At noon that day, Cui Changjia had lunch under the big chestnut tree at Zhang Fengming's house.
A generous portion of hand-rolled noodles was topped with two golden fried eggs, and served with some hot and sour pickles made by Aunt Zhang herself. It was a simple meal, but Cui Changjia tasted it to be extremely delicious.
Zhang Fengming's trip this time was no different from moving house. Bedding, clothes, uneaten rice, flour, grain, and oil, and even Aunt Zhang's pickled vegetables were all packed and crammed into the car.
The most difficult thing to deal with was the four old hens. Cui Changjia meant to sell them to the neighbors in the village. But every household in the village had chickens, and no one was willing to spend money. Zhang Fengming simply threw the chickens into a sack and prepared to take them directly to the state capital!
Cui Changjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Zhang Fengming, "Uncle, why don't we just not take care of this old hen."
"You really don't know anything, kid. Old hens are the best. Go back and stew them for your father and brother. They are very nourishing."
When Zhang Fengming left the village, many people greeted him, and he answered loudly, feeling very proud!
The matter of his adopted son made him completely unable to hold his head up in the village, but now it is different. Even if he does not have an adopted son, what does it matter? Zhang Fengming can still live with his own hands!
During lunch, the young master told him not to think about coming back once he left and to buy a house in the state capital to live in when he retired. He was stunned at the time and didn't dare to believe it at all. But after the young master analyzed the situation for him, he understood. It didn't matter if the adopted son had no conscience, but he couldn't let this heartless adopted son ruin his life for the rest of his life.
He has two hands and such a good boss, so Zhang Fengming is not afraid anymore!
"Yeah, time to go back to work!"
"Her aunt went with her, too!"
"Yeah, I won't be back for a while."
Finally setting out on the journey back to the provincial capital, Cui Changjia called Cui Xiuyuan in advance and asked them to clean up a dormitory for Zhang Fengming and his wife to live in.
Not to mention Cui Xiuyuan, even Cui Wenquan was extremely happy. His old friend was coming back, how could he not be happy?
The way back was a little more familiar, and with Zhang Fengming's command, the return journey was much faster. However, when we arrived at the provincial capital, it was already completely dark!
