Life style warm man

Chapter 289 Change

The young man who keeps calling "Brother Shen" is none other than Zhang Lebao, the "security guard and chore supervisor" Wang Shen newly hired.

Wang Shen's family all returned to their hometown, and the work at the villa also stopped, so he drove the "bus" given by Wang Shen back to his hometown.

Although he had only started working for a short time, Wang Shen was not stingy and still gave him quite generous New Year gifts.

The New Year is a very important festival in the hearts of ordinary people.

No matter what your usual income is or whether your boss is harsh or not, if your company gives you a gift for many years on this day, it will still be easy for people to forget some unpleasant things at work.

After all, who doesn’t want to bring home a lot of New Year’s goods in large and small bags? Not only does it look rich, but it also shows off how many benefits your company has!

Wang Shen is a wage earner, so he naturally knows the embarrassment of returning home empty-handed during the New Year, so his company will definitely give out plenty of gifts whenever there is a holiday.

"Dabao, whose car is that car at the door? Why did you bring it here?"

When entering the house, Father Zhang looked back at the black car parked at the door and asked his son curiously.

"The boss asked me to drive it on a regular basis. During the Chinese New Year, Sheng Ge specially asked me to drive it back. He said it would be convenient to have a car to go home."

Zhang Lebao said with a smile.

"Oh, you really met a good person. Mom, please take the time to go to his second master's house to see if he has caught any game. After the New Year, let Dabao take it back. We don't have anything valuable. , so I’ll give you some game food for people to try!”

Father Zhang quickly told his daughter-in-law not to forget.

Mother Zhang happily agreed.

As Zhang Lebao returned home with a full load, the smiles on the family's faces never stopped from the moment they entered the door.

For so many years, although the family was not considered poor, they really had little money left.

Zhang's father earned some hard money by working as a house builder in Shiliba Village. Zhang's mother peeled some chestnuts at home for a chestnut processing shop and earned some pocket money.

These are short-term jobs, and they don’t earn much. The harvests from the fields are mediocre, and food has been worthless in recent years.

It would be considered good to have ten thousand to eight thousand left in a year.

It was only thanks to Zhang Lebao that he worked outside to earn some money to supplement his family's income that the family was not in too much embarrassment.

"We will work hard from now on. If people respect us, we must treat them right. Don't be able to tell how much we weigh in the city... This wine is just different."

At the dinner table, Dad Zhang took a sip of the Luzhou Laojiao brought by Zhang Lebao, smacked his lips, and said with a slight aftertaste.

"His father, why are you talking about this? The baby is no more promising than you. Without the baby, you can drink all this wine..."

Mother Zhang said angrily.

"What do you know!"

Zhang's father retorted, but instead of talking about these things, he talked about the gossip in the village.

For example, whose son graduated and found a good job, whose son came back with his daughter-in-law...

Zhang Lebao listened with open ears, occasionally pouring some Huiyuan juice into his sister's tea bowl and telling her to drink less.

The night is gradually gathering on the top of the mountain!

Dim electric lights began to light up in the tile-roofed houses in the mountain village. The lights flickered faintly on the top of the mountain through the somewhat old windows!

This night, the wine is delicious, the rice is fragrant, and people are drunk!

It was still dark the next day, and the rooster in the ravine got up early and sang "Enough!"

Zhang Lebao did not sleep in. He got up when he heard the crow of the rooster and helped his mother with the housework.

After a busy morning, at around nine o'clock, a cheerful middle-aged female voice came from the door.

"His aunt, I heard that Dabao is back!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang's mother hurriedly rushed forward.

"His sister-in-law is here, sit down in the room quickly!"

The woman was not polite and sat down on the kang in the kitchen.

Mother Zhang brought the melon seeds, raisins, almonds and other snacks brought by Zhang Lebao next to her.

The woman glanced at the snacks on the plate, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she said with a smile: "Early in the morning, his uncle came to my door. I was thinking that Dabao was back."

While talking, Zhang Lebao walked in and said hello to the woman.

This woman is a well-known matchmaker in the village. She usually likes people with a rich family and a short family, but she has introduced many couples to them.

The reputation spread.

Although there are many introductions, the things required are also expensive.

Therefore, Zhang's father didn't want to trouble her before, and only asked relatives and friends to introduce Zhang Lebao to her, but in the end, they met several times without success.

This time, his son brought back a lot of gifts, so he took two and gave them away.

Let the other person introduce a suitable partner to his son.

Aunt Luo was also responsible and made a special trip to Zhang's house to ask Zhang Lebao what kind of wife he was looking for.

What is your situation like?

She had to ask clearly one by one before she could match the pair.

"Dabao, are you still working as a security guard in Jeju now? I heard that you came back in a car? Did you buy it?"

Aunt Luo held a handful of raisins in her hand, sipped them one by one, then looked at Zhang Lebao and asked.

"I quit being a security guard and start working in a company!"

Zhang Lebao raised his neck slightly and said aloud.

"Oh, that's good. How much does it cost per month?"

"Five thousand yuan! There is also a food and accommodation subsidy of two thousand yuan!"

"Hey, come here, tell me, what do you want to find? Auntie will give you a massage..."

"Anything works!"

Zhang Lebao scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"No matter what, you are tall, short, fat and thin, and you have a bad temper...!"

The two of them exchanged words with each other, and soon they chatted for half an hour.

Aunt Luo also generally understood Zhang Lebao's situation and requirements, so she got up from the kang and said, "Just listen to my letter!"

"Then thank his aunt first!"

Mother Zhang hurriedly said politely and slightly to please her.

"Thank you when I find it!"

Aunt Luo smiled heartily, then retracted her hands into her sleeves and walked out of Zhang Lebao's house.

The Spring Festival in rural areas is relatively leisurely, and people who go out to work have returned to their hometowns one after another.

There was no farm work in the fields and no help at home, so working as a worker suddenly became leisurely.

When the sun is warm during the day, this group of migrant workers gather together in twos and threes to play cards and brag.

It should be considered the most relaxing time of the year.

Zhang Lebao also has a group of playmates from childhood to adulthood. Some go to college, and some, like him, go out to work after graduating from high school.

There are also a few people who dare to work hard and start their own businesses.

There is a circle between people. Over time, if they are not in the same circle, they will naturally gradually separate.

Although it's not obvious, they each have their own lives. Except for good buddies, most of them have become acquaintances.

Of course, although everyone has different life circumstances, the village is so big, and it is inevitable that during the Chinese New Year, we will still meet and chat.

Zhang Lebao is no exception.

After breakfast, he went to play cards and chat with the guys in the village who had also returned from work.

"Hey, Dabao, the quality of cigarettes is different? Are you smoking thin cigarettes? That's okay!"

"Dabao. Whose car is the car at the door?"

"I heard that you are no longer a security guard? I told you that security guards have nothing to do,..."

"What kind of company is it? A living allowance of two thousand? Please introduce me to it!"

Familiar voices and different questions. In previous years, what he heard most often was: "Why are you still a security guard?" Maybe he didn't feel there was anything wrong with being a security guard, but in other people's mouth, he seemed to It's the same as not seeking to make progress and not thinking about making progress.

But this year, things have changed.

Although five thousand a month is not much, the living allowance of two thousand yuan still makes some people who are running around envious.

Although the car belongs to someone else, the right to use it is yours. During the Chinese New Year, you can be considered a car owner.

Zhang Lebao clearly felt that the views of people around him had changed.

……

Wang Shen didn't know that as he accumulated wealth, his every move was already affecting many people.

Zhang Lebao is one of them.

In the future, more people will be influenced by him. One person will achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. This is probably what it means!

However, these things did not affect him. At this time, he had just arrived in front of the KFC restaurant in his hometown county.

Now that I'm back, I must meet my old lover Zhao Yunyun.

Although the two have a substantial relationship as lovers, because one is in his hometown and the other is in Jeju, they rarely see each other.

The relationship between Wang Shen and her was more about making up for the lack of ignorant emotions in his youth. Once satisfied, the relationship between the two gradually returned to peace.

However, Wang Shen is an emotional person. Now that he has gone to bed, as long as the other party does not take the initiative to retreat, he will not abandon her.

But there will definitely be alienation.

After all, he didn't have the energy and passion, so he came from Jeju to Yizhou just to see her.

Zhao Yunyun is obviously also a smart woman. She knows that her position in Wang Shen's heart is not important, so she usually does not disturb him.

Time will slowly bring the relationship between the two back to normal.

Her job is pretty good in the county, and her income is decent.

In the past two years, Wang Shen has also given her a lot of money. Although it is not much, it is still two or three hundred thousand.

As time passed, her age increased, and local suitors chased her fiercely, she gradually began to think about quitting.

When they met this time, Zhao Yunyun just wanted to meet, say goodbye, and "break up" in a plain way!

The two met very calmly, like old friends, sitting opposite each other and smiling at each other.

They chatted with each other for a few words, neither salty nor light, and no one said much about love.

Wang Shen knew from the moment he saw her that she had made a decision in her heart.

Naturally, he has nothing to miss.

The two chatted for a few minutes, and then Wang Shen's cell phone rang. It was Xia Qinghan calling, asking where he was.

Wang Shen simply replied and said he would go home in a while, then hung up the call.

Zhao Yunyun saw this, smiled slightly, exhaled softly and said: "It's time for us to say goodbye, after all, I am not young anymore!"

"Well! I wish you happiness!"

Wang Shen smiled faintly. Although he would not stay, it was unrealistic not to have any disturbance in his heart.

"I wish you happiness too."

After Zhao Yunyun finished speaking, she glanced at Wang Shen silently. There seemed to be nostalgia and relief in her eyes.

"gone!"

After saying that, she stood up, waved her hand, and walked out of KFC.

Wang Shen looked at her leaving back and shook his head slightly.

Zhang Yunyun is the same age as him, and in the county town, she is indeed an older unmarried woman.

There must be a lot of pressure to get married in her family.

It's really not something we can afford to be such an unclear lover for ourselves.

I can't make any promises to her, so letting go is indeed the best choice.

After lowering his head and taking a sip of the drink, Wang Shen also stood up and left the KFC store.

A Chinese New Year highlighted that he usually didn't care about women.

Too many women are not necessarily a good thing sometimes.

Especially his kind-hearted character.

If it was just for fun, where would there be so much energy to spend?

But he couldn't do that.

In the end, these problems of getting along have to be faced, or, like Zhao Yunyun, they will quit voluntarily when they can't stand it any longer and lose hope.

Or be like Chu Yuming, who has his own children and his own job, and marriage doesn't matter.

But no matter which one, it will be solved in the end.

Wang Shen didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only keep it in his heart silently.

The journey back to his hometown from the county seat was not far, and he arrived at Shilizi Village in only ten minutes.

As soon as I parked my car in front of the open space in front of my house, I saw the door of my house opened with a creak.

Then I saw two tightly wrapped little guys, one big and one small, running out.

"father!"

Wang Shen hurriedly got out of the cab, squatted down, and hugged the two little guys into his arms.

"Dad, why are you here? The fireworks bought by my aunt are almost gone!"

Yun Duo's red little face was full of regret.

"It's okay, dad will buy it again!"

"I also need to go."

Coco quickly raised her hands and said.

"I'll take you to buy some together tomorrow."

"Oh, great!"

"Let's go home!"

Wang Shen stood up, glanced at Xia Qinghan who came out behind the two little ones, smiled slightly, and then led the two little guys over.

When he arrived, he turned slightly and kissed Xia Qinghan's fair cheek.

Said: "Honey, let's go home!"

Xia Qinghan smiled, stretched out her hand to hold Coco's little hand, and then the family of four stepped into the yard of her hometown.

At this time, in the quiet countryside, the night was as dark as ink, and the bright moonlight was like a lantern fixed in the sky, exuding a dense brilliance.

……

Wang Shen's family still spends the Chinese New Year in the old house.

The country villa was basically completed, but there was still a lot of miscellaneous finishing work, so Wang Zhihe did not open the new house.

Staying in the old house, although it is a little cramped, still has a strong flavor of the year. Wang Shen and Wang Xin's childhood memories are all here, and it is much more cordial.

Wang Shen came back a little late this year, so he didn't get involved in preparing many things for the New Year.

Such as steaming steamed buns, making jujube mountains, making glutinous rice balls and so on.

But if he doesn't do it, he will do it this year.

Xia Qinghan came, not only by herself, but also with two little guys.

This turned the original family of four into a family of seven in an instant.

Not only is it more lively, it’s also more joyful.
