Chapter 678 Small gathering
After entering the room, Zhang Jialin pushed Zhang Lan and pointed to the sofa next to the coffee table and said, "Zhang Lan, sit here."

With a backhand, Zhang Lan grabbed Zhang Jialin and said, "It's your place, brother. If you don't sit down, there will be second brother and the others. I'll sit down and figure out what's going to happen."

"Sit over there. You sit with Zhipeng and the others. I and I will drink and play guessing later and do some outside activities." Zhang Jialin said.

The brothers sat down around the coffee table. Next to the coffee table, Zhang Jialin also made a small square table to make it longer.

"Eat first, eat first, take two bites before talking." Zhang Jialin picked up the chopsticks and said.

After taking two bites of the food, Zhang Jialin held a wine glass in his hand and said: "It's another year, and we, the young people of the big family, sit together and have a lot of fun. Except for now, those who can drink can be poured by themselves, and those who can't drink can't drink. Reluctantly, that’s what I meant. As the big brother, I wish everyone all the best and wealth in the new year!”

Everyone raised their wine glasses, clinked them for a while and then started drinking.On the coffee table, Zhang Jialin made two large charcoal stoves and placed them separately.Placed in a circle outside are some cold dishes that go well with wine.

There was a hot pot on the charcoal stove in the middle. Zhang Lan took a chopstick and it was a meatball. He took a bite and nodded and said: "The stew is almost done. Eat it quickly before putting it in. If there are any vegetables, please put more vegetables in it." Put the mushrooms in.”

"We have everything. We prepared a lot today. I saw that the freezer on the wall and the frame next to it are missing. There are a lot of things prepared. Don't worry about it after eating." Zhang Jialin said with a smile.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Jialin suggested that he should start toasting with guessing games one by one. Seeing Zhang Hongwei, Zhang Hu and others eager to give it a try, Zhang Lan quickly stopped him: "I have to get up early tomorrow morning to kowtow. Drink less tonight. I want to I’ll drink it at noon tomorrow, and then it won’t be a problem no matter how much I drink.”

"Drink some wine and talk conversation, and you'll be successful. If you don't want to drink, you'll be full. There's a table and TV next to you, so you won't be able to play cards."

"Yes, let's have a good drink at noon tomorrow."

As soon as Zhang Lan spoke, several other cousins ​​also spoke against Zhang Jialin's proposal.Several cousins ​​are getting married and starting businesses one by one. It’s not like before that the older generation comes out after drinking too much.

Now Zhang Lan's generation is the main group of New Year's greetings. Unless someone's family has an older elder who is still there, they will spend the first day of the new year at home waiting for people to come to pay New Year's greetings.

Zhang Jialin smacked his lips with some regret and said: "Then drink less? Come here tomorrow at noon. I have prepared a lot of things this year. I just thought we could sit together and have a drink in the next two days."

Zhang Lan looked around and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to my house at noon tomorrow? The room is almost full now. My wife and children will come over tomorrow. There will be 30 people in total. This room will be full." Don’t overcrowd the place.”

"What are you going to do with the things in my house? Look at how many things I have put in the refrigerator over there. I can't finish them even after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Zhang Jialin said.

"It can't be wasted. What I'm talking about is that I will go to my house at noon tomorrow. My house is big enough to sit around and the children can play. We brothers will set up two tables in the glass greenhouse in my yard, and there will be a pot outside. "If you don't succeed, I'll just make two tables of ground-fried chicken at my house. I'll find two charcoal tables there to celebrate the Chinese New Year tomorrow. It will definitely be very enjoyable to eat." Zhang Lan's eyes lit up as she spoke.

"That's a good idea. I'll go to Pan Minna to pull two tables tomorrow to celebrate the New Year, and then send them back to him later. Anyway, he won't open the door on the first day of the new year." Zhang Hu nodded.

Zhang Jialin quickly interrupted him: "This is beyond imagination. How can anyone borrow something on the first day of the new year?"

Zhang Hu nodded in agreement, took out his mobile phone and said: "I'm going to call him now. I guess his shop hasn't closed yet. Let's go get the tables back first. No matter where we go to eat tomorrow, there are two tables." It’s definitely much more convenient.”

"What you say is that the wind is like the rain. If it doesn't work, just stir-fry some hot vegetables and stew some meat dishes. It's not enough trouble to get a charcoal fire table." "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome. What's the trouble?" Wait a minute, the call has been put through, and asked me to ask about the situation first."

Zhang Hu waved his hand and said while holding the mobile phone.

As soon as the phone call came through, Zhang Hu and Pan Ming exchanged a few words and then asked directly: "Are there any empty tables for the charcoal fire tables in your hall now? My cousins ​​will sit down to have a meal together at noon tomorrow. I would like to We are eating hot pot together, but there are so many people that there are no suitable tables. I want to ask if there are any free tables in your shop, and see if you can let me use two tables tomorrow."

Pan Ming said with a smile: "It's hard for others to say this, but Zhang Hu, if you speak, there's no need to say anything else. Why are you here? Let's talk about it first. If you want, I'll take you away tonight." I won’t let you do it tomorrow.”

"That's what I mean when I call you. Just stay in the store. Wait for me and I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hu glanced around and said, "Pan Ming is settling accounts in the store and said that it would be best to pull him over now. How about it? Find a car to pull him over now."

"If you want, just pull him over. Ask Haoyang to drive the electric tricycle at the door. Let's eat here first and be back in a while." The second brother Zhang Hongwei said from the side.

Zhang Hongwei asked Zhang Haoyang to drive a tricycle. After Zhang Lan, Zhang Jialin, and Zhang Hu looked at each other, Zhang Jialin said, "Then let Haoyang go. Zhang Hu, please call Pan Ming."

Zhang Haoyang, who was sitting in the corner, took the keys to the electric tricycle at the door and went out. Zhang Hu got up and went out and said a few words. After a while, the sound of the tricycle leaving outside the door was heard, and Zhang Hu opened the door and left. Come in.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Lan said: "Second brother, where is Haoyang working now?"

Zhang Hongwei said in a low voice: "I work in the factory over there in Gujiapo."

"Is the work okay? How much money can I earn in a month?" Zhang Lan then asked.

Zhang Jialin said to the side: "The wages here are low. The maximum salary in the factory for a month is only about [-] yuan, and usually it is only about [-] yuan."

"That's quite a lot. It's close to home. If you plant some more land, you can earn a lot of money in a year if you stay steady." Zhang Lan said casually.

Zhang Hongwei sighed: "There is nothing I can do. Now that he is out, I won't let him go. I can only run around blindly every day. It's okay in front of my house. Who knows what he is doing outside now." "

"As for working at home, second brother, you have finished your work now and have grandchildren. It doesn't matter if you earn more or less." Zhang Hu said with a smile.

"That's done. No matter how hard we get him an apartment in the city, we still have to work harder." Zhang Hongwei shook his head and said.

Zhang Lan raised the wine glass in front of him: "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's better that we are all safe now. Second brother, I'd like to toast you."

As the topic unfolded, everyone at the wine table began to clink glasses frequently, and the atmosphere that had just been a little deserted became lively again.
