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

Chapter 503 Hello, 1965
I saw my younger brothers and sisters, looking confused when they first entered the port city.

Zhang Fenjin, who had been here for a long time, immediately comforted him: "This place is much better than the old city. You can buy whatever you want as long as you have money. You don't need tickets.

You can wear whatever you want, no one will care. There are also playgrounds, zoos, and oceanariums. Once you get used to it, I will take you there one by one...

From now on, you will have endless good times if you stay in Hong Kong City... Is it true that the plain life in the Forty-Nine City is also called living a life?"

Thinking back to the hard times he had spent in the old city, the fourth son of the Zhang family seemed to be in another world...

The material world there was extremely poor. People could only eat meat once a month, and white flour had to be mixed with cornmeal.

But despite this, there are my family there...

Thinking about it this way, it seems that life there is not so difficult...

How many times did he wake up in the middle of the night, hoping to return to the city and be with his parents...

But, will I ever see my parents again?

If I can't go back, then won't these six younger brothers and sisters be like me and never see their parents again?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fenjin's expression suddenly became a little lonely: "Xiao Shi, are our parents and wife okay?"

Little Lao Shi Zhang stopped looking at his fourth brother and answered obediently, "Everyone is doing well. We have bought a house. We don't have to sleep on the same big bunk bed like before..."

"Fourth brother, you haven't met Little Twelve and Little Thirteen yet, right? Here, they are..."

"And this one," said Little Old Ten, holding Zhang Hanmei beside him, "This is our third brother's child, and our third sister-in-law is Sister Yushui.

Fourth brother, we are uncles now! ! "

Ever since my second uncle told the relatives in Sijiu City that Zhang Fenjin was actually brought to Gangcheng by him.

Zhang Fenjin began to correspond with his family. Of course, the letters were hidden inside the letter that Wotouer sent to Fatty.

Because only letters sent out under her identity could avoid censorship...

Through these letters, he knew the situation at home in detail, but he had a general understanding of it.

He knew that there were two little girls, the Twelve and the Thirteenth, in the family, that his second aunt had given birth to a younger sister for him, and that He Yushui had given birth to a little niece for him.

However, understanding is one thing, and truly seeing it is another.

At this moment, I looked at the little baby in my tenth brother’s arms.

There were also Xiao Twelve, Xiao Thirteen, Zhang Mingzhu, Zhang Mingmei, and Zhang Fenjin who met for the first time and suddenly felt a sense of being elders.

Although he is only 18 years old and he has not even married yet, he is the legitimate fourth uncle of this kid! !
"Well, can I hug her?" There was a hint of uneasiness in his tone. After all, he hadn't held a child for many years and he was already unfamiliar with the concept.

"Of course! Go, Xiaomei, let your fourth uncle hold you for a while." Zhang Tingting was a smart little boy who spoke like an adult, coaxing Zhang Hanmei who didn't understand anything he said.

"Come……"

After all, he had held his younger brothers in his arms when he was a child, and the muscle memory was still there. Zhang Fenjin was a little nervous at first when he held Zhang Hanmei, but he soon relaxed.

Zhang Hanmei felt very comfortable in his arms, gurgling bubbles and babbling non-stop.

Seeing Zhang Fenjin holding the baby in the cradle, Zhang Handong felt very curious. He stretched out his finger and poked Zhang Hanmei's chubby little face, and said in surprise: "Daddy, Mommy, I'm only in elementary school, but I'm already an uncle..."

He will tell his classmates this news tomorrow. Won’t they be envious to death?

"Don't even mention you. I, your mother, am already a grandmother in my thirties." Chen Xueru was very emotional.

Thirty-two year old grandmother, tut tut tut.

She glanced at Zhang Shenfei and said, "We are lucky to have your father here.

Xiao Hanmei came from the city of Sijiu to the city of Hong Kong, and we all became one generation older out of thin air."

Lou Xiao'e also covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Sister Xueru, you are over 30 at least. Look at me, I am only in my twenties, and I am a grandmother like you. How can I seek justice..."

She and Zhang Shenfei have already obtained a marriage certificate and is already the official daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.

So, she is also Zhang Hanmei’s real grandmother.

When Lou Xiaoe thought about becoming a grandmother in her twenties, she wanted to laugh... What the hell is going on...

Why does it feel like playing house?

"Okay, I've let you advance in seniority, but you're still not happy about it?" Zhang Shenfei said, and motioned for the children to follow them into the yard.

A group of people walked forward in a mighty manner. Zhang Fenjin was holding Zhang Hanmei, Zhang Shenfei was holding Zhang Mingmei, Chen Xueru was holding Zhang Mingzhu, and Lou Xiaoe was holding Xiao Shisan.

Several Filipino maids were moving the luggage unloaded by the taxi driver into the villa.

Zhang Tingting and the others grew up in the old city, where had they ever seen servants, let alone such a European-style villa?

Several people followed the steps of their second uncle, second aunt, fourth brother and others and walked in, looking around curiously as they walked.

"Hiss!! Brother Shi, are we going to live here from now on?"

"This, this looks like the palace described in the book..."

"Tenth brother, look, that guy over there can swim!!"

"How can there be such a big glass? I can see what's going on inside the house through the glass..."

"Uncle, is this huge house all ours?" Little Eleven suddenly ran to Zhang Shenfei and grabbed his hand, "The second, third, and fourth floors are also ours?"

When they were in the old city, they lived in a collective building, with different tenants living on different floors. At first he thought it was the same here, but after careful observation, he found that there seemed to be no one else here.

Zhang Shenfei told him with a smile that this kind of house was called a villa and they were the only family living there.

"From now on, you guys will live here with Second Aunt and the others. Second Uncle will help you arrange school..."

Xiao Shi frowned and said, "Two Second Aunts are going to take care of eight of us? Won't that be too tiring?"

The six of them had just come from Sijiu City, and together with Fourth Brother and Brother Handong, there were exactly eight of them.

Logically speaking, when they were in the old city, his mother took care of more than a dozen of them.

However, when the young man saw the two second aunts today, he always felt that they were different from his mother who held up half the sky.

It doesn't seem appropriate to let the two of them take care of the eight of them...

Zhang Shenfei knew what his nephew was worried about, so he explained to him:

“You two second-instance judges are both professional women with your own careers to take care of, so we can only catch the big ones and let the small ones go.

Normally, a driver will take you to school every day, and a Filipino maid will cook for you when you come back.

As for Hanmei, Mingzhu, Mingmei and the others, I will ask a nanny to look after them..."

Oh……

Zhang Zhiting understood what he heard and realized that this was just like the rich people in the old society that the teacher talked about. Their children didn't need to be taken care of by their elders at all, so he felt relieved.

At the same time, I secretly thought that life in capitalism is not so miserable after all...

On the contrary, it’s pretty cool…

In order to welcome the arrival of the children, Zhang Shenfei invited the chef from Manhanlou to cook at home in the evening.

After eating and drinking, he spent the next few days helping several children arrange schools and handling official business.

After finishing everything, we returned to the city. Days passed one by one, and soon, it was 1965.

In the kitchen of the steel mill,
Ma Hua was cutting vegetables, Xiaopang was kneading dough, and Liu Lan was cleaning the private room.

The leaders are having a reception banquet today, and it is said that they are entertaining VIPs, so they are asked to put in all their effort and make sure the dishes are well prepared. Therefore, a group of people have already started getting busy.

The one who didn't fit in with these busy people was Sha Zhu. He sat on the long bench he usually sat on, crossed his legs, and drank tea happily.

After he had finished a pot of weak tea and his apprentices had prepared everything that needed to be prepared, he slowly stood up and walked to the stove.

"Ma Hua, bring me all the chopped vegetables. Xiao Pang, light the fire. Remember, use a high heat."

He was giving instructions slowly while Liu Lan, who had just finished cleaning the small private room, came over and took an apron and tied it around him:
"How many times have I told you? Remember to wear an apron when cooking! If you get your pants and clothes stained with oil, you have to wash them yourself!!"

As Liu Lan spoke, she rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu and pulled the apron string so hard that Sha Zhu felt his ribs were about to be broken.

"Hiss, I got it. I will definitely not forget it in the future..."

"Hmph!" Liu Lan rolled her eyes at him again.

Seeing the master's cowardly look, Ma Hua and Xiaopang looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"What are you laughing at? You two? Hurry up and come over here to get ready. You've delayed the leaders' meal. Watch out for your skin..." Sha Zhu scolded.

Training his apprentices does not delay cooking. While talking, he puts the small wok on the red-hot stove, puts the hot wok in with cold oil, and when the meat changes color, adds carrots, black fungus, bamboo shoots, etc.

Soon, a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork with good color, aroma and taste was out of the pot.

One dish was prepared before another, and chicken soup was stewing on the stove nearby.

Soon, the dishes that were prepared early in the morning were brought into the private room by Liu Lan.

While the fire

Everyone in the kitchen was busy and no one cared.

Sha Zhu very skillfully took out the stewed chicken that was soft and boneless from the casserole, cut off a small half and put it in his lunch box, and put the remaining half back into the casserole.

"Mahuaer, serve the food!" He knocked on the iron pot with a spoon and shouted.

"Here I come!! Chicken stewed with mushrooms is here for you!" Ma Hua had already seen his master's actions just now, but he did not feel surprised at all.

He walked up to the table, picked up the dish, shouted, and headed towards the private room.

As soon as he left, Sha Zhu closed the lid of the lunch box and prepared to put the food into his net bag.

Before getting ready, he looked around out of habit.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw a mushroom-headed child wearing a cotton jacket tiptoeing into the kitchen.

Hey, isn’t this a great joke from Sister Qin’s family? ? ?

Shazhu was immediately amused, trying hard to hold back his laughter as he watched Banggeng walk to the shelf like a little mouse, pick up a bottle of soy sauce from it and put it in his pocket.

Seeing Bang Geng was about to leave, Sha Zhu shouted, "Boy, you stole the public soy sauce!!"

Hiss! Bang Geng was frightened and immediately wrapped himself in his cotton jacket and tried to run out.

Sha Zhu could clearly stop him, but he chose not to move.

Only when Bang Geng ran to the kitchen door did he pretend to throw the rolling pin in his hand away.

With a whoosh sound, the rolling pin made a sound of breaking through the air and went towards Bang Geng's back.

Next second,
Bang Geng had already rushed out of the kitchen, and the rolling pin did not hit him, but hit someone who happened to come in.

"Oh my god!" Xu Damao covered his head which was hit by a big bump, "Who? Which bastard hit him?"

Everyone in the kitchen was silent, but Xu Damao was the one doing the work now! !

If you make him angry, no one will suffer the consequences.

Of course, they couldn't afford to offend Sha Zhu, after all, this guy was related to Zhang Shenfei...

So now, everyone tacitly shut up and watched the fight from the sidelines.

Sha Zhu stood up and said, "I, your grandfather, smashed it! What's the matter?"

Others are afraid of Xu Damao, but he is not.

Xu Damao had always been at odds with Sha Zhu. Touching the bump on his head, he immediately became furious: "Sha Zhu, you bastard, did you do this on purpose? Did you do this on purpose?!"

"I really didn't mean to do that. I was going to beat up Widow Qin's son, but I didn't expect you to come up to me."

Sha Zhu couldn't help laughing, and said that he didn't mean it, but the look in his eyes told Xu Damao that he hit you on purpose, so what? ? ?

"I say you are a really interesting person. You don't go through the front door, but go through the back door. I say, are you addicted to going through the back door?"

What he said was implying that Xu Damao was able to become an official now because of the backdoor.

This really pissed off Xu Damao. He picked up the rolling pin that had just hit him on the head and dropped to the ground, and pointed at Sha Zhu forcefully: "Grandson, who the hell do you think you are!!"

Others gave Sha Zhu some face out of respect for Zhang Shenfei.

But he is not afraid!!

It's not that he's not afraid of Zhang Shenfei, but, as long as he encounters something related to Sha Zhu, he will be willing to risk his life! !

"Silly Zhu, who do you think you are? Do you know who invited me here today? The leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy!!"

"I have established connections with the Ministry of Metallurgy, and you are still carrying a big spoon in the kitchen. You will never be as good as me in your life!!!" He puffed out his chest and spoke with full confidence.

There are many grassroots staff in the steel rolling mill, but he is the only one invited this time. Doesn't this mean that the leaders value him? ? ?
Xu Damao felt that he might soon become very successful, marry a beautiful, rich woman, and reach the pinnacle of his life! !

At this time, he couldn't help but show off in front of Sha Zhu.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's eyes darkened and he picked up a cucumber: "You bastard, do you really think you are a toy?
The reason your boss asked you to come here is because you used to be a movie projectionist. Can you show movies? ?
I asked you to have dinner just so that you could show a short movie to others after dinner. Do you really think you are so important? ? "

"Get out! If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death!!"

Xu Damao whistled: "Oh, you are so angry that you are..."

Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves and looked at him fiercely: "If you say another word, I will slap you in the face, believe it or not?"

Xu Damao turned around and ran. His mouth had strong attack power, but in terms of fighting power, he was no match for Sha Zhu.

Seeing him running away in panic, Sha Zhu laughed out loud: "Xu Damao, don't eat that chicken. I put laxatives in it..."

"I have medicine with me!" Xu Damao's answer came from the air.

Xu Damao was very depressed because he didn't get the upper hand over Sha Zhu.

He stood at the door of the private room, took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood, and put a smile on his face before he pushed the door open.

But when he saw the person sitting inside, he was stunned.

How could this be him?? ! !
