Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 457 The first day of new life

In the evening, Lu Zheli arranged for someone to deliver half a truckload of staple food, vegetables and fruits, as well as seven or eight fresh river fish, each weighing three to four kilograms, to Lao Zhang's house.

This is a very substantial gift.

Especially in the current environment, it is even more precious.

Zhang Hao was unwilling to take unnecessary risks for this little thing, so he called Lu Zheli on the spot, hoping that the other party would take back the heavy gift.

"Mayor Lu, I appreciate your kindness and thank you very much, but there is really no need for this. I am a businessman and I am not short of money or food stamps."

"Zhi... Lao Zhang, this is just the official opinion of our special zone. Don't worry, the source is absolutely legal and will not cause you any trouble."

Lu Zheli hurriedly explained.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but wonder: "Where did these things come from? Did you secretly build a food supply base?"

Although the federal government explicitly prohibits major enterprises and institutions from setting up small farms privately, the reality is that the ban continues.

After all, these days, all enterprises and institutions with some real power in their hands will secretly set up so-called food supply bases and find ways to provide benefits to their employees. This is also a characteristic of the times.

Lu Zheli smiled coquettishly, acquiescing.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh, and then asked a key question: "Mayor Lu, is this your personal opinion? Or is it the decision of the entire city government?"

"It is a unanimous decision of the city government. We hope that you can say a few good words or do a little favor for the special zone at the appropriate time."

Lu Zheli replied.

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said politely: "The Special Administrative Region will be my second hometown from now on. Even if you don't tell me, I will do my best to help my hometown. There is really no need to do anything unnecessary."

"Old Zhang, although you are retired now, the relevant benefits will not be reduced. You deserve these things and you will get them every month in the future."

"Oh, the quantity is too much. If it was only for a few days, I wouldn't make this call."

Zhang Hao is still worried.

"Old Zhang, your family has a large population. To be honest, three hundred kilograms of grain may not be enough for you?"

Lu Zheli tried his best to persuade him.

Zhang Hao couldn't refuse directly. After all, it was all about human nature. If he didn't take it, others wouldn't feel at ease if they took it. Over time, it would be easy for them to become estranged.

However, it is definitely not possible to accept everything.

"I think it's better than this! I can take those fish, but not the other things. You must have seen that we have a vegetable garden in our yard, so there is no shortage of vegetables."

"Old Zhang, you..."

Zhang Hao didn't give the other party any time to hesitate, and said decisively on the spot: "Anyway, I have stepped down now. I will not receive any reward for my merits. I really can't accept other things. You'd better have someone take them back!"

"But……"

Lu Zheli's tone was full of disappointment.

"No but, it's settled, I won't disturb you anymore, you can continue working!"

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to answer and hung up the phone on the spot.

On the other side, Li Dajuan carefully took out her wife's memorial tablet from the suitcase, wiped it carefully, and then placed it in an empty room.

"Guoguo, go ask your mother if there is any fruit at home?"

"Grandma, there's no need to ask. I just went to the vegetable garden. There is basically nothing in it except green leafy vegetables." Zhang Guoxin replied quickly.

"Forget it, if you don't have it, you don't have it!"

Li Dajuan shakily lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet.

Zhang Guoxin was afraid that grandma would be hurt by seeing it, so she immediately suggested: "Grandma, there is a park next door to our house. How about I accompany you for a walk?"

"Grandma is tired, let's go shopping tomorrow!"

Li Dajuan waved his hand.

"It's okay to take a rest. My mother has already made the bed. Let me help you go to the bedroom!"

Zhang Guoxin stepped forward and supported the old lady.

Li Dajuan did not refuse and nodded lightly.

The more than three-hour flight, plus half an hour on the subway, was really too much for her old bones.

……

That night, everyone in the old Zhang family had a delicious meal of fish dumplings. Although river fish is not as fresh as sea fish, it is actually more rare. After all, looking at the entire federation, only Taoyuan Special Economic Zone has the conditions for freshwater farming.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, I had breakfast.

Zhang Hao and his wife, plus Zhang Guoxuan and Guan Tong, went out together.

Yang Huaqing is going to kindergarten, Zhang Hao is going to elementary school, Zhang Guoxuan is going to middle school, and Guan Tong is going to high school. They have to send their children to register at school.

There is no snowstorm here in Taoyuan Special Economic Zone, and all schools have been open for half a month. Children must enter school as early as possible without any further delay.

After Zhang Hao and others went out, the courtyard instantly became quiet. Zhang Guoxin took her grandma and grandma and left the courtyard immediately.

We agreed yesterday that we would go to the park next door for a walk today.

Just after leaving the gate, Kuang Wenhui suddenly raised his head and looked at the "sky": "I think I heard a bird chirping?"

"Grandma, look over there, is that a sparrow?"

Leslie Cheung has very good eyesight.

Kuang Wenhui recognized it at a glance: "Yes, it's a sparrow. It's really rare. You can actually see a bird in front of your house. I remember the last time I saw this kind of scene was decades ago."

Although Li Dajuan's eyesight was not good, her ears were fine. The old lady tried hard to listen to the birdsong, and she couldn't help but be fascinated: "It sounds so good!"

The more common scenes in life, the easier it is to bring back memories. Although there are birds chirping in the zoo, they are far less touching than those in the "wild".

Behind the birdsong, it actually represents a long-lost vitality, which is most lacking on the ground.

"Grandma, grandma, it seems we are in the right place. No matter 'day' or night, the temperature here is above ten degrees, which is much more comfortable than on the ground."

Zhang Guoxin immediately agreed.

Kuang Wenhui nodded: "This is indeed a good place. You don't need to wear a mask when going out. No wonder your dad is so anxious to move here."

Next, like fools, the group stood at the gate for five minutes, until the sparrow flew away, and then reluctantly looked back.

5 minutes later, we arrived at the main gate of Nanshan Park.

In fact, the courtyard house of Lao Zhang's family and Nanshan Park are almost right next to each other. If it weren't for Li Dajuan's mobility difficulties, it would only take a minute's walk for a normal person.

"Wow, it's so early in the morning, there are so many people inside!"

Zhang Guoxin said excitedly.

"Free park, of course there are many people."

Kuang Wenhui explained casually.

Parks on the ground generally charge a fee, and you can only enter by buying a ticket. Of course, the ticket price is not expensive, children are free of charge, and adults cost two yuan each time.

In addition, there is also a family annual pass, which costs only 100 yuan per year no matter how many family members there are.

Taking the capital as an example, almost one-third of households have purchased annual family passes. It is precisely because of this that the streets are always overcrowded every weekend.

Not long after entering the park, Li Dajuan heard a very familiar piece of music, so she couldn't wait to ask her granddaughter: "Guoguo, is there someone performing Sichuan Opera in front?"

Guo Guo took a closer look and found that it was true.

Grandma often plays Sichuan opera plays at home, so she is also very familiar with Sichuan opera and can even hum a few lines. "Grandma, it's Sichuan Opera. It sounds like "The Legend of White Snake". Let's go there quickly!"

Li Dajuan suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect that there would be Sichuan Opera singers at my doorstep. It's really great."

Sichuan Opera is the hometown drama of the old lady, and it is also one of the few hobbies of the old lady.

"Grandma, I will accompany you to watch Sichuan Opera every day from now on." Zhang Guoxin said with a smile.

Since she has the conditions, she should spend more time outdoors, which is good for the health of the elderly. Moreover, she has to take a two-year break from school, so she has no shortage of time.

"People may not come here every day..."

Li Dajuan shook his head.

Zhang Guoxin showed a sly look and said confidently: "I will take care of this matter."

This kind of thing is very simple, the worst is to spend more money, grandma's happiness is more important than anything else.

Her dad would definitely do the same thing if he knew about it.

Li Dajuan chattered a few words, and then focused all his attention on listening to the opera. Zhang Guoxin was afraid that the two elders would be too tired to stand, so he ordered the bodyguard to go back to the courtyard and bring in two chairs.

There are stone benches in the park, but they have long been occupied.

……

It took nearly an hour to sit down.

After the morning exercise, the crowd began to slowly disperse.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoxin quickly helped her grandma to come to the four Sichuan Opera performers.

"Uncle, aunt, sorry to bother you."

"Is there a problem?"

Zhang Guoxin pointed at her grandma and said, "This is my grandma. She likes your performance very much, so she wants to ask about your performance time?"

"Sister, is she also from Shuzhou?"

This one directly had an accent from the Shuzhou area.

Li Dajuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, my hometown is Leshan. Where are you from?"

"The Leshan with the Leshan Giant Buddha?"

"Yes."

"I'm from Guangyuan, and the three group members next to me are all from Rongcheng, the capital city. Our usual performance times are not fixed, about two or three times a week. After all, everyone has work to do."

"Uncle, what do you do?"

Zhang Guoxin couldn't help but wonder.

"We are all employees of a geothermal company. The company's community is nearby. We can add a WeChat message. If there is a performance, I will notify you in advance."

"Okay!" Zhang Guoxin immediately took out his mobile phone and added the other party's WeChat message, "My grandma is a die-hard Sichuan Opera fan, and she finally found an organization this time."

"By the way, there is a professional Sichuan Opera performance at an opera house in the city the day after tomorrow. If you have time, you can go and listen to it."

The actor playing Bai Suzhen suddenly spoke.

"Really? Is it far from here?"

Xiao Qing, the actor, shook his head: "It's not far. It only takes ten minutes by bus."

"Great, thanks for reminding me."

"You're welcome. It's rare to meet a fellow countryman who also likes Sichuan opera. I'm too late today. I'll have a good chat next time."

Hearing this, Li Dajuan immediately pointed to the courtyard not far away: "My home is right there. If you have some free time, you can also go and sit at my home."

"Sister, are you talking about that courtyard house?"

Xiao Qing's actor exclaimed.

"Yeah, we just officially moved here yesterday."

Li Dajuan did not hide anything.

Xiao Qing, the actor, was refreshed and suddenly looked at the old lady in front of him with admiration. After all, people who can afford to live in a courtyard house are definitely not ordinary families.

When the quadrangle was built, it attracted the attention of many citizens. You know, the land was sold for a total of [-] million.

It's so scary to say it.

"Sister, you don't mind us disturbing you."

Li Dajuan said without hesitation: "Don't bother me. We are new here, and I just want to ask you about the specific situation in the Special Administrative Region."

"Okay, we will definitely visit you when we have time."

After the actor Xiaoqing finished speaking, he quickly left the park with the group members.

Zhang Guoxin supported her grandma and continued to visit the park.

Along the trail, the group soon entered the depths of the "forest". As they walked, a white building suddenly appeared in front of them.

Zhang Guoxin quickly asked a passerby: "Sister, what is this house used for?"

"This is..." Before the young lady could finish her words, her eyes suddenly widened: "Are you Princess Guoguo?"

"Uh, how did you recognize me?"

Zhang Guoxin touched the mask on his face.

You're not wearing the mask crookedly, so why are you recognized?
The young lady replied excitedly: "Princess, I am your biggest fan. I can recognize your voice as soon as you speak, and your eyes are very similar..."

"Okay!" Zhang Guoxin took the initiative to extend her right hand and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Zhang Guoxin. Sister, you can also call me Guoguo. These two people next to you are my grandma and grandma."

"Hello! My name is Chen Qi."

"Little girl, are you a local?"

Li Dajuan asked casually.

Chen Qi nodded: "I was born in the Special Administrative Region. I have never left the Special Administrative Region since I was a child. I should be considered a local, right?"

"Wow...sister, you have grown up so big and you have never been out of the Special Administrative Region. It is simply unbelievable."

Zhang Guoxin said in astonishment.

Chen Qi didn't feel much disappointed: "Actually, it's not bad. I heard that it's very chaotic outside and often hungry. At least I can eat enough down there."

"You're right. The outside world is very exciting. There are zoos, botanical gardens, stadiums, museums, amusement parks, and Sea World. There are so many fun places."

"Actually, what you just said, princess, we also have here." Chen Qi was noncommittal.

Zhang Guoxin's mind started spinning quickly: "I thought of it, there is something you must have never seen before."

"What is it?"

"Baking in the sun." Zhang Guoxin blurted out.

"Baking in the sun? How? Has the volcanic ash in the atmosphere disappeared?" Chen Qi asked quickly.

Zhang Guoxin waved her hand: "No, but you can take a plane to bask in the sun. Logically speaking, there should be relevant reports in the news?"

"No, there is no airport down there, and there are almost no reports related to airplanes." Chen Qi paused, and then changed the topic: "Princess, can you tell me what it feels like to bask in the sun?"

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
