The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 309: Eating up the entire family? ? ! !

Although Zhang Ping'an and Zhang Shenfei are uncle and nephew, they are actually only six years apart in age.

When he was a child, his father was busy at work and his mother was busy having children, so Zhang Ping'an followed his second uncle and hung out in the alley every day.

In those days, ordinary people lived a hard life, and the Zhang family's life was even harder.

His second uncle got some candies, some melon seeds, or stole a sweet potato or something outside, and he always remembered to give him a share.

The young man often took advantage of his uncle's reputation in school.

Yes,

Although his second uncle Zhang Shenfei became a despised alley dweller when he grew up, in Zhang Pingan's heart his second uncle was still very great and awesome.

Later, his second uncle joined the steel rolling mill and rose rapidly in just five years, from a propaganda department clerk to the canteen director and deputy factory director.

It also led to Zhang Ping'an's mother, Tang Danniu, becoming a small leader in the collectively owned processing plant. As a professional woman, in Zhang Ping'an's heart, his second uncle was even more omnipotent.

It can be said that in this family, if Zhang Pingan can only listen to one person, it must be his second uncle Zhang Shenfei.

Hearing his uncle's words, the young man immediately patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, Uncle. I will listen to your advice!!! When I join the army, I will focus on training and cultural studies. I will do both and be a good soldier with good education!!!"

Zhang Shenfei looked at him sternly: "It's not enough to just be a soldier. Didn't I say it just now? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!!!"

The young man said seriously: "I understand, second uncle. I will definitely try my best to become a general. When I become a general, you will be the general's second uncle!!!"

Then he can't walk sideways in the courtyard???
The young man stood up immediately after he finished speaking: "Uncle, the street office is recruiting soldiers right now, can you accompany me to sign up?"

Zhang Shenliang interrupted: "Your second uncle is very busy at school, how can he have time to accompany you??? Dad should go with you."

After saying that, he was about to stand up.

Zhang Pingan shook his head: "Dad, you don't understand anything... I still want my second uncle to accompany me."

Zhang Shenliang: “……???”

I am a level 6 fitter, how come I don’t know anything???
He glanced at his wife and was about to get mad after getting permission, but Zhang Shenfei beside him had already stood up and patted his butt: "Let's go, Second Uncle will go with you."

The young man finally opened his mouth. After all, he was his own nephew, so he couldn’t just let the words fall on the floor, right? ? ?
From now on, I have to count on these nine great Vajras to support me!!!
Whether they can punch Yi Zhonghai and kick Liu Haizhong depends on them. Shouldn't we be nicer to them now? ? ?

years passed,

The Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office has long been separated from the Nanluoguxiang Residents Committee, and its current address is some distance away from the courtyard.

The uncle and nephew arrived at the front yard.
Zhang Shenfei signaled Zhang Pingan to push his bicycle and follow him.

Not many people can ride bicycles these days, but because Zhang Shenfei has a car, five of the Zhang family’s nine Vajras can ride one.

The uncle and nephew pushed the bicycle out of the yard in silence. When passing the threshold, Zhang Shenfei lent a hand to help his nephew lift the back seat.

"Uncle, I can do it even without your help. I'm very capable." The young man seemed unhappy that his uncle was still helping him like a child.

I am already old enough to join the army, and I can't wait for my family to treat me like an adult.

"No matter how powerful you are, I am still your uncle." Zhang Shenfei snorted coldly, "Don't even think about lending a hand or carrying a car. When you get out into society and have problems that you can't handle or mess up, remember that you have an uncle!!!"

Zhang Ping'an turned his head and looked at him, then looked at him again, without saying a word.

After leaving the courtyard gate,
The young man was riding a bicycle, Zhang Shenfei was sitting behind him, and the bike shot out like a sharp arrow.

Arriving at the subdistrict office compound,
But I saw banners hanging all around, saying things like "One person joins the army, the whole family is honored" and

The strong men are concerned about the safety of the country and respond to the call for conscription with all their enthusiasm.

It is time to strengthen the army. The passionate military camps are training elite soldiers, which makes the people's blood boil.

At the front of the yard there was a row of tables with application forms, registration books and a large loudspeaker on them, which was constantly promoting the military recruitment policy.

Having just experienced the war years, people generally have a special feeling for soldiers.

In addition, during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea a few years ago, an article titled "Who Are the Most Lovely People" brought people's mercenary enthusiasm to the highest level.

The conscription site is now crowded with people, some are registering, some are waiting for physical examinations, and some are coming to inquire about the requirements for joining the army. People are squeezing and pushing each other.

Zhang Shenfei looked around the scene curiously, and sighed that the enthusiasm of the people was comparable to the scorching sun in September.

Turning my head,

I saw Zhang Ping'an beside me with a nervous look on his face, his hands tightly grasping the hem of his clothes, his eyes wandering, and sweat beads beginning to appear on his forehead.

Is this... scary???

Zhang Shenfei was so disappointed that he kicked the guy hard on the butt: "No, it's not a big deal? Look how scared you are! You useless bastard!!!"

Think about how Zhang Shenfei can move freely between several women at the same time, walk by the river every day and never get his shoes wet. He must have a good mental quality.

But what about his own nephew? He was afraid to even sign up to join the army. He didn’t inherit his psychological quality at all! Zhang Shenfei was so disappointed with him.

Zhang Pingan calmed down a little after being kicked, and turned around to explain: "Uncle, I'm not scared. I'm not nervous either, I just saw these soldiers excited.

When we were in school, our teachers always said that they were the cutest people, and maybe I will be able to join the army soon.”

The young man looked at the soldiers sitting behind the desk with sparkling eyes.

The straight military uniform, the neat hairstyle, and the murderous eyes that were different from those of ordinary people.

When the young man thought about how he would become like this in the future, he excitedly pulled his uncle's arm:
"Uncle, I just heard on the radio that if you are really selected and join the army, you will be given new clothes every quarter. Is that true?"

Zhang Ping'an has lived a hard life since he was born. He didn't wear the same color-blocked shorts as the Calabash Brothers until he was twelve years old.

Although our family's life improved after my second uncle started working, there were still nine brothers in our family, and the pressure of life was high.

His mother, Tang Danniu, was a good person at managing life. She only bought him new clothes once in five years. All other times, his clothes were old clothes that had been lengthened, or those picked up from his father and his second uncle.

When the young man thought about the fact that he would get three or four new sets of clothes every year after joining the army, he was so excited that he was incoherent. He made it through! !
For this reason, I must join the army!!!
"Fuck, I said you're a loser, and you really are a loser." Zhang Shenfei complained again. He was about to say a few more words to his nephew. He opened his mouth, but saw the patched clothes on his nephew. He swallowed the words back and took out twenty yuan from his pocket and put it in Zhang Ping'an's hand.

"Uncle, why are you giving me money?" Zhang Ping'an looked surprised.

"It's nothing. My second uncle has money and he likes to have fun." After Zhang Shenfei said that, he pulled the young man to sign up.

Although the Zhang family had a city hukou, their family had been exploited working class for generations and were extremely poor. Their background was good, so Zhang Pingan passed the registration without any suspense.

Next is the physical examination.

Thanks to the good life his family has had over the years, Zhang Ping'an is tall and straight, although not big and strong, and he passed the physical examination smoothly.
The news that Zhang Ping'an from the Zhang family was going to join the army spread quickly throughout the courtyard like wings.

Jia Dongxu was immediately mad: "No, why? Zhang Shenfei went to college, and Zhang Pingan is going to serve in the army, how come all the good things happen to their family???!"

We are all the same age, Zhang Shenfei is getting better and better,
Where is Jia Dongxu??? He has been unemployed at home for several years, hanging out with old women every day!!!
I can't get through this day! ! !
"That's right, she must be good enough to be chosen." Jia Zhang said while sewing the sole of her shoe, looking at her eldest son with contempt. "Donxu, I'm not saying that you are too narrow-minded. Is it useful to be jealous of others and make up stories about others at home every day?

If you have that time, can't you also improve yourself???"

What should be said or not said,
He is a grown man, but he doesn't think about his own progress all day long. He just keeps talking about this and that behind others' backs. It's really despicable!!!

Thinking of her useless eldest son, Jia Zhang couldn't help but shake her head.

Jia Dongxu is a loser, and his son Banggeng is not a good guy either. He likes to steal at a very young age and is a bad student... He is exactly the same as that dead guy, old Jia.

Jia Zhang felt that her hopes now all rested on her youngest son, Qin Aiguo. Thinking of this, she cast her loving eyes on the second son.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth in hatred.

It was all Zhang Shenfei's fault. If he hadn't been the matchmaker, marrying his mother to Uncle Qin, how could his position in the Jia family have been deteriorating?
Qin Huairu, who was standing by, saw her man's useless look, and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes...

As for Xiao Dang? ? He was playing with Zhang Zhaomei, the fifth child of Zhang Shenfei's family, and didn't care what the adults at home said.

The old Yi family next door.

"Oh? Zhang Ping'an went to join the army. That's good." Yi Zhonghai said while peeling the peanuts in his hand.

The aunt was surprised when she saw this.

In the past, the old man in their family hated the Nine Vajras of the Zhang family the most. Every time he saw them, he would feel so angry that he felt short of breath and couldn't breathe, and he wanted to strangle them.

Now that Zhang Pingan has had good news, why is the old man so calm? ? Not upset at all? ? ?

Yi Zhonghai seemed to see his wife's doubts and smiled calmly:
"Well, we just need to live our own lives, why should we care about others?
As long as you give birth to this baby in your belly, I won't have to worry about anything."

Now, this is the only hope for him. Whatever the right and wrong in the yard or other people's affairs have nothing to do with him.

The aunt thought about it and agreed.

The two of them then stopped talking about the Zhang family, and instead began to speculate for the Nth time whether the baby in the aunt's belly was a boy or a girl.

The couple has been talking about this topic ever since they found out that their aunt was pregnant. They never get tired of it and are always very interested when they talk about it.

Yi Zhonghai was also calculating how many cloth coupons he had saved and how many small clothes and quilts he could make for his children in the future.

"No need to make a new one, you can just ask the neighbors to pick up some old ones when the time comes." The aunt didn't care.

It's good for children to wear old clothes.

Yi Zhonghai was unhappy: "I am a seventh-level fitter, how can I let my child wear someone else's old clothes?"

Forget about clothes, his children must have the best of everything in the future!! They can’t be like the Zhang family, where several children can’t even afford a pair of pants!!!
"Success, I listen to you."

The two were talking excitedly when they saw a furry little head suddenly pop up at the door.

"Zhang Ximei, why are you here?" an old lady asked curiously.

"Grandma Yi, my mom asked me to come to your house to borrow a spoonful of salt." Zhang Ximei came over and stared at the aunt's already visibly pregnant belly. "Grandma Yi, when will the little girl in your belly come out?"

Little sister? ? ? The aunt’s eyes suddenly changed.

Although it is forbidden to promote feudal superstitions nowadays, there is still a saying in the old city.

It is said that children under five years old are the most accurate in predicting the baby in a person’s belly.

Zhang Ximei is the ninth child in the Zhang family and is now exactly four years and nine months old.

He said that she was carrying a little girl in her belly, and this baby was most likely a girl...

Thinking of this,

The old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai in panic, but the latter just smiled indifferently.

After more than 20 years of infertility, he has long since let it go.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, even if it’s a hermaphrodite, as long as it’s your own blood.

Seeing that her husband did not favor boys over girls, the aunt felt relieved. She stood up, holding her belly, and went to the kitchen to get salt for Zhang Ximei.

Zhang Ximei had no idea that his words had changed the aunt's mind. He followed the aunt and continued to chatter:

“Grandma Yi, I like girls the most.

When the little girl in your belly is born, I will help you take care of her, coax her every day, sing to her, give her delicious food, and feed her candy, okay?"

Yo? ? So good???
This is not like Zhang Ximei's usual style.

The auntie suddenly became curious and asked deliberately:

"Oh, thank you so much. But Ximei, why are you so nice to Grandma Yi's child?"

Zhang Ximei scratched the back of her head and laughed: "I want her to be my wife...

Grandma Yi, if you let your little sister marry me, I can take care of you and Grandpa Yi in your old age."

He heard from his mother that it is not easy to find a wife in today's society, so he decided to start from an early age.

Ah, this...

The old lady held the spoon of salt and looked at Yi Zhonghai awkwardly.

How come someone is targeting my daughter before she's even born?
Yi Zhonghai's face turned even darker than ink. He glanced at Zhang Ximei's yellow hair and said, "Boy, take the salt and go quickly. Don't make your mother wait anxiously."

What the hell? ? ! ! A little yellow-haired kid who is less than five years old wants to eat their family’s extinct family? ? Bah! ! !

"I'm not in a hurry. I want to touch Grandma Yi's belly and talk to the little sister." Zhang Ximei said stubbornly.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about that. He grabbed Zhang Ximei by the scruff of the neck and threw him out.

"You want to marry my daughter? Go ahead and dream on." He said hatefully.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ximei was stubborn. She stomped her feet at the door of Old Yi's house and snorted coldly! !

When he turned around, he saw that his fifth brother had also been kicked out by the Jia family...
