Chapter 256
"Brother, how long will it take to get home?"
The car went forward all the way, and the road ahead seemed to have no end. Seeing the road signs on the side of the road swing past, Zhang Hongyu asked in a daze.
"It's still early. It's more than 500 kilometers away from Manglin City, and it's still more than 100 kilometers to Shijiang Town. It's at least eight or nine hours." Zhang Hongbing drove for several hours in a row, feeling a little sleepy and wanted to find a place to take a nap.
"Hongbing, are you sleepy? Don't fall asleep. That's dangerous. There are still two days before the Chinese New Year, so let's go slowly and it's okay." Liu Chuntao said with some concern.
"We will reach the service area a few dozen kilometers ahead. We will have some hot food in the service area later. I will take a break before leaving." Zhang Hongbing said.
"Brother, it's okay to go slowly, safety is the first priority. We don't have to worry." Zhang Hongyu also said quickly. The car drove very quickly on the highway, and it's easy to get into trouble when driving tired. Along the way, he had seen several car accidents.
He Guiquan opened a bottle of drink and handed it to Zhang Hongbing: "Brother, let's solve the problem."
Zhang Hongbing took the drink and drank it in one sip. The cold drink was poured into his throat, which made Zhang Hongbing much more awake. This method could not be used all the time. When the person was trapped to a certain limit, nothing would work. Zhang Hongbing cheered up and drove the car into the service area.
"Two days ago, I called back and my father said that the Gantang was in the past two days. If we go back in time, we might be able to catch up." Zhang Hongyu said.
"It's all because of Baohan and his wife who had a red eye. They bullied their parents while we were not at home and stole the fish pond from them. This time, we must find the couple to make a good argument." Zhang Hongbing said.
"The couple is just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. If we are at home, we will give them courage, and we will not dare to hunt the fishing pond." Zhang Hongyu said.
"If you don't contract this fish pond, you won't contract it. But we have to help our parents with this tone. I was originally planning to wait for the house I bought to be renovated before picking up my parents, and Jilingjidong and the two brothers from Jilingjidong to go to Huacheng. But now in this situation, I can't wait so much. I will rent a house first and settle my parents and Jilingjidong. When the new house can be relocated, I will move in immediately." Zhang Hongbing said.
He Guiquan said, "Brother, have you asked your parents about this?"
"I haven't had time to say it yet." Zhang Hongbing shook his head.
"My parents are used to living in the countryside. When they suddenly move to the city, they will definitely not be used to living in it. Besides, if the family has built a house now, they will definitely not be able to put it down. If no one lives in this house for a few days, it will have a taste. If such a good house is built, if it is empty there, parents will definitely not want it." He Guiquan said.
"That's right. I'm afraid this is not easy." Zhang Hongyu knew her parents' temper.
"Not to mention parents, even Jiling Jidong may not be willing to go to Huacheng with you." He Guiquan said worriedly.
This possibility is really great. Liu Chuntao said worriedly: "These two children have not been with us for so many years and have no feelings for each other. Last time they went home, they were willing to call us for several days. When we came, we also came out secretly, and they must have hated us in their hearts."
"This matter cannot be done by them. It is much easier to get into a university in Huacheng than in my hometown. Jiling has good grades, so she can get into a better university here. Jidong has poor grades, so she can't get into a university in my hometown, so she might get into a second-tier university here. Even if she goes to a poor university, she is better than not studying. Now she is not educated and can't recruit jobs at all. When we first came to Huacheng, we could recruit any factory as long as we want to go. Now they don't want it anymore, so they need college students to find a guard." Zhang Hongbing said.
"Let's talk about this when you go back. You should eat something quickly and take a quick look later. There is still such a long way, which is not a joke." Liu Chuntao said.
After Zhang Hongbing and Liu Chuntao decided to go home, they did not call back, hoping to give their family a surprise. Therefore, Zhang Dashuan and his wife did not know that Zhang Hongbing and his wife were already on the way home.
As night falls, the village is already dusk. Fire trees and silver flowers bloom from time to time.
The two siblings lay on the guardrail of the balcony on the second floor, and the light of the fireworks illuminated the two exquisite faces from time to time.
"Brother, do you think your parents will come back this year for the Chinese New Year?" Zhang Jiling asked.
"How can I know? They didn't call me again." Zhang Jidong muttered.
"Let's go to the town together after the pond is dry." Zhang Jiling said.
"What are you doing in the town? It's not fun at all." I used to think that the town was a little fresh, but now I often live in the town, so I don't feel anything fun anymore.
"Of course we are going to buy clothes. During the Chinese New Year, others have bought new clothes. Let's sell a few new clothes, right? Grandma said, we can buy whatever clothes we want to buy." Zhang Jiling said.
"No. I have clothes to wear. Uncle Fat bought us new clothes." Zhang Jidong shook his head, so his bright eyes reflected the blooming fireworks. In fact, he was not really appreciating the brilliance of the fireworks. He only felt a little disappointed in his heart, as if something belonged to him had been lost.
Luo Chengxuan and Lao Dao were in the corner of the balcony and did not come up to talk to Zhang Jidong. Zhang Jidong did not notice Lao Dao and Luo Chengxuan, and Zhang Jiling could not see it.
"Jiling Jidong, do you want to eat something tonight?" Zhang Dashuan asked loudly on the cement floor downstairs.
"Where are you?" Zhang Jiling asked.
Zhang Jidong shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
Zhang Jiling immediately poked his head out and said to Zhang Dashuan: "Grandpa, Ji Dong and I are not hungry."
"Don't these two guys usually say they're hungry at night? Why don't you want to eat today?" Zhang Dashuan was a little confused.
"I miss their two unreliable parents! Other parents rushed back to celebrate the New Year. These two people didn't even call a phone number. If you don't come back, you should say it earlier. In this way, the two children won't keep in mind." Xiao Daidi sighed.
"It's better not to come back. Jiling Jidong follows us, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. Why do you want to wait for them to come back? When I see them, I will break their legs with a shoulder pole!" Zhang Dashuan took a deep breath of cigarettes, and then coughed constantly.
"The same is true for Hongyu. Why don't you know if you want to call back?" Xiao Daidi said.
Zhang Dashuan and Xiao Daidi cleaned the house, took a shower, and went to bed early. They were old and liked to go to bed early and get up early. They had to dry the pond and catch fish tomorrow, so they had to keep their energy in full.
“Oh oh oh …”
