Chapter 50 Hometown
49. Hometown
Xiao Bao shouted with a flushed face, "I want to go back too."

Zhang Yu: "Okay, Xiaobao wants to go back with us, so go back and see your little friend."

"Oh, go home! Go home!" Xiaobao cheered.

"Why go home, the house in my hometown has been sold, it is no longer our home." At some point, Er Niu appeared at the door.

Xiao Bao woke up.

"Yes! The houses in Dongyang Village are all sold, that is no longer our home, this is."

"The houses here are rented, and this is not our home."

Zhang Yu corrected: "Er Niu, this is our home. Although the house is rented, as long as there are family members, it is home."

Ling Feng: "That's right, where there is family, it is home, no matter whether the house is rented or bought."

Zhang Yu: "A house! As long as you have money, you can buy it at any time. It will be a matter of time before we buy a house."

What Xiaobao is worried about is: "We go back on Saturday, where do we live?"

Yingzi: "Just stay at my house."

Er Niu: "Sister Yingzi, do you want to go back too?"

Yingzi hesitated.

"I won't go back, the big girl and I are gone, what about the business here?"

Zhang Yu thought, this is the first time for Yingzi to leave her family for a long time, and she has been away for two months. She must be very homesick and miss her family, so let's take her back together!

"Yingzi, let's go back together! Your parents must be very worried about you. You go back and tell them yourself that you have a good life here, so that they can rest assured."

"But what about the business?"

"Then rest for two days, anyway, money can never be earned."

Yingzi shook his head.

"Two days of rest is a loss of 200 yuan, which is enough to earn a year's income for a person in the village. I am reluctant to lose such a large sum of money for nothing."

"Then you are willing to give up a chance to go home and see your family?"

"I'll write a letter for you to take back to them. Write everything I want to say in the letter."

Zhang Yu said: "Then how about this! I'll stay, and you go back with Brother Ling Feng and help me bring the rice. I also have Er Niu to help! So we can't delay making money."

Yingzi: "Is this okay? If you don't go back, Brother Zhang can safely hand over the four hundred catties of rice to me?"

"Why don't you worry, Xiaobao will go back with you. When Brother Zhang sees Xiaobao, he will know that someone in our family is going back to Lamy. Xiaobao is the only man in our family and the pillar of the future. Sending Xiaobao back is the best representative of us. Old Zhang’s family, when the time comes, call the village chief and the accountant, and he won’t be afraid if someone will testify.”

"It's reasonable, but big girl, wouldn't you be able to go back?"

"It doesn't matter whether I go back or not. Anyway, in Dongyang Village, I have no one to worry about. The most I can do is to pay homage to my parents and grandparents. For these, I can only ask you to take Xiaobao to burn incense and burn paper for them." , kowtow, and tell them we have a good time here."

Yingzi hurriedly said: "I can do this, don't worry!"

After agreeing on a time, Ling Feng left.

Zhang Yu went to the room and took out a passbook to Yingzi.

"Yingzi, in the past two months, we have earned more than 5000 yuan in addition to the necessary expenses. The three of us can each get 300 yuan. Yingzi, this is yours. I will help you. Store it above, take some time tomorrow to pick it up, buy some gifts for your parents and elder brother to take home, and buy some nice clothes for yourself. Our life is no worse than the people in the city now, and we can’t let the people in the city look down upon us. There should also be improvements and changes in dressing.”

"Big girl, this is too much money! I'll take less, just 1000 yuan."

"There are still people in this world who think too much money!"

"Big girl, when I first came here, I thought that as long as I have food and shelter, I can survive. It's better than being poked at the spine all day in the village and living a suffocated life! I didn't expect you to give me so much money." money."

"This is what you deserve, Yingzi. Without your help, Er Niu and I wouldn't be able to make so much money. We are mutual achievements. One family is that you can't do without me, and I can't do without you."

Er Niu: "Sister, go and buy two new clothes yourself!"

Yingzi: "That's right! Girl, let's go shopping together, and we will all dress nicely from now on."

After dinner the next day, all four of them went shopping in a department store together.

Yingzi bought a denim shirt with red flowers on a white background, a wine red corduroy jacket, a pair of blue khaki trousers, and a pair of royal blue corduroy trousers.

What Zhang Yu bought was a blue floral cotton shirt, a pink corduroy jacket, and blue corduroy pants.

Yingzi also bought a set of clothes for her parents and brother.

Zhang Yu bought some candies and biscuits for his family and relatives.

Zhang Yu also bought some fruit candies, sorghum maltose, and peanut candies, and kept some to eat at home, and asked Xiaobao to take some back to the village chief's house, and some to elder brother Zhang's house who bought their rice.

Little Treasure couldn't bear it: "Why did you give them candy? Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Er Niu also said: "We are not related to them, why should we bring them candy?"

Zhang Yu: "This is etiquette. When dealing with others, give a small gift. When others are happy, you are also happy. Those who do big things must have a broad mind."

Erniu and Xiaobao understood right and wrong.

Zhang Yu told Xiaobao again.

"When the time comes to see my parents and grandparents, put a few candies in front of their graves to make them happy too."

Xiaobao: "I only ate fruit candy before, and thought it was the most delicious thing in the world. When I came here, I realized that there are more delicious sorghum maltose and peanut candy, and I realized that candies are not only sweet, but also fragrant. Yes, I don’t know if my grandparents and parents have eaten it, if not, let them taste it, they will know that our current life is like these candies, there are sweet ones and fragrant ones.”

"That's great, Xiaobao, when the time comes, tell them about how we live every day now. They know that we don't need to carry water to eat, we don't need to wash clothes by hand, and we don't need to do hard work. , but they can make money, they must feel very happy."

Xiaobao: "So, they won't worry about us."

Zhang Yu: "That's right, so Xiaobao knows them best."

They also bought some joss sticks and paper fires for sacrificial offerings.

After returning home, Zhang Yu told Yingzi to keep a low profile when returning to his hometown this time, especially not to tell others how much money he made, including his own family members.

"why?"

Zhang Yu: "If you tell your family, we can earn a year's income of one person in the village in two days. In this way, the family will definitely not be able to help spreading the word to the villagers, and then there will be two results."
