80s Taoism

Zhang Manyin had set up a bowl at home, and a steaming bowl of stir-fried eel was already on the table.

Zhang Runtian was crying on the sidelines, "Every time there is delicious food, it is only called Yuanbao and Beggar, so the girl is not a human?"

"Did I call you here? Why are you still yelling?" Zhang Manyin was very displeased with his granddaughter's accusation. But in all fairness, Zhang Manyin is really very patriarchal. The concept of the mountain people is like this, giving birth to a girl is a loser, and giving birth to a boy is to pass on the family line. Think about it, the surname of the boy's surname is Zhang, who knows what the surname of the girl's surname is?

Ma Donghua hated the old man's idea, "Run Tian, ​​don't talk to him. Just ignore that stubborn old man. I'll find my husband's house and won't buy wine for old stubborn. Give him two jugs of cat urine."

Zhang Runtian was amused by Ma Donghua and started giggling, "Grandma, grandma, grandpa will definitely be able to smell cat urine. Why don't we add some water to the wine. Grandpa will definitely not be able to smell it. You won't know until you drink it."

"Look, look. I said that giving birth to a girl is a loser. Yuan Bao will marry a woman to cover his grandpa's feet. Runtian knew that he would mix my wine with water." Zhang Manyin laughed loudly.

While talking, Zhang Wenrong walked in with Zhang Hangao and Zhang Jiagen.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Jiaohua was a little surprised.

"I knew that the beggar must be back tonight. Besides, Grandma Donghua must be cooking something delicious. It's better to be in time than to be in time. See how lucky we are." Zhang Wenrong laughed.

"Biaohua, Brother Rong said that you are definitely back, so let's come and play together." Zhang Jiagen smiled and put the things in his hands on the table.

When the three guys came over, they all had something in their hands. Some are carrying dishes, some are carrying rice wine.

Zhang Jiagen held a bowl of salted peanuts in one hand and a small jar of wine in the other. This is a household item that Zhang Xianyi's family hid at home. It's much better than the wine you get at their house.

"Is everyone in the family okay?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"Fortunately, I went home today. Otherwise, something will happen sooner or later." Zhang Jiagen said hastily, "My mother went to Duomen Mountain yesterday and two days ago to ask the fairy, and she started to have nightmares that night, and her physical condition suddenly went wrong. I just put the amulet you gave her on."

"Then it's fine. Don't go to the garden these days, and take care of it at home." Zhang Manyin said.

"How can we do that? We have nothing to do at home. There are a lot of things to do in the garden. How can the beggar do it alone. We are planning to go there tonight. There are so many animals there, and everyone is definitely not able to go there. Beggar, will you go there later?" Zhang Wenrong asked.

"Of course I'll go. You guys don't go there. Wen Rong, your father's birthday is tomorrow, and you can go back after your father's." Zhang Jiaohua said after eating the delicious eel.

"It's nothing. It's nothing. Let's go to my house for dinner tomorrow." Zhang Wenrong shook his head.

"Then Jiagen don't go there, stay at home, isn't your mother feeling unwell these two days? Take care at home." Zhang Jiaohua looked at Zhang Jiagen.

Zhang Jiagen shook his head, "I'm not the only cub in my family. Besides, I'm in the garden, which is also considered a job. Can't just take money and do nothing?"

Speaking of money, Zhang Manyin glanced at Zhang Wenrong and the others. He didn't know about the payment of wages to Zhang Wenrong. I always thought that Zhang Jiaohua didn't need to spend a penny for collecting such three lively people to work in the gardening field. The food is so good, and the wages are paid, so it’s not worth it to beg for flowers?

Zhang Wenrong knew that Zhang Jiagen's bald mouth was not good, and kicked Zhang Jiagen, "Beggar, we are here to see if you are back. Since you are back, the three of us have to go to the gardening field. Now the gardening field cannot be separated from people."

Zhang Wenrong quickly pulled Zhang Jiagen and others away. When we got to the main road, Zhang Wenrong scolded Zhang Jiagen severely, "Genzi, I said you are a pig's head or something? Didn't the beggar talk about giving us money, don't tell it? Look, because of your bald mouth, Grandpa Manyin will definitely scold the beggar, and the beggar will settle with us when he turns around."

"I also said it by the way, and it's too late to take it back now." Zhang Jiagen scratched his head and said with a mournful face.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Wenrong and the others left, Zhang Manyin began to accuse the beggars, "Beggars, why didn't you tell our adults about sending money to Wenrong and the others? Did they trick you into giving them money?"

"Do you think Wen Rong and the others can fool me? I see that they have performed really well in the past month or so. I can't catch others and keep doing my work for nothing. I'm not the landlord Laocai in the past. The landlord Laocai also has to pay wages." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Then how much did you send them?" Zhang Manyin asked.

"It's not much, and each person was paid 80 yuan. The last time I picked tea leaves, my hands and feet were nimble, and I earned dozens of dollars in a few days. They must have done much more than others in a few days. I thought about it and paid them dozens of dollars in wages." Zhang Jiaohua said truthfully.

"You prodigal son. Do you know how much Zhang Shunlin is paid for teaching in a village primary school for a month? You still have food and housing included, with a salary of 80 yuan. Where in the world is such a job?" Zhang Manyin looked at Zhang Jiaohua angrily.

"My father and the others spend hundreds of dollars a month in Guangdong." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"That's Guangdong. How can there be such a good thing in our Meizi'ao?" Zhang Manyin raised his hand to hit Zhang Beggar's head hard, raised Lao Gao with his hand, but put it back.

"Grandpa, just watch. Wait a few more years. Don't say eighty yuan, even one hundred and eighty yuan, and I can't hire anyone to do things for me. My parents know that they are going to Guangdong. Don't others have hands and feet? They have to go to Guangdong in the future. I have to keep these three guys now. In the future, they will work for me in a down-to-earth manner." He also has his own little thoughts.

Zhang Manyin looked at Zhang Jiaohua strangely as if he didn't recognize his grandson all of a sudden. How long has passed, since Zhang Jiaohua's parents left, it seems that she has matured overnight. From what he said and what he did, it was impossible to tell that he was a seven or eight-year-old kid. On the contrary, he looks like an adult who works steadily.

"Oh, forget it, anyway, we can't interfere with the gardening field. You take care of it yourself. Your uncle is not going out yet. If you are short of manpower, let your uncle go to your gardening field to work." Zhang Manyin suddenly thought of his eldest son.

"If uncle wants to come, he can come at any time. I will drive him for a month. But didn't uncle say that he will go to Guangdong after the New Year?" Zhang Jiaohua agreed without hesitation. Anyway, no amount of people can finish the work of the gardening field. If his uncle is willing to go, Zhang Jiaohua is naturally not afraid to pay him an extra salary.

"Then I'll go back and ask your uncle." Seeing that Zhang Jiaohua agreed, Zhang Manyin didn't continue talking about it.
