Chapter 67 My Cousin Became Famous

It’s not that Zhang Xingwang didn’t want to look for Director Li. Director Li did know many leaders in the hospital, but things are different now. It’s easy to find a temporary worker, but it’s impossible to find a formal worker.

During the last chat, Director Li complained that word had leaked from higher-ups that they were not allowed to recruit any more workers, and that the next step might be to reduce staff.

More and more people in the city are eating commercial grain, and there are not enough houses. The city is already burdened with heavy expenses, and with the relocated cadres about to return, it is now a big headache.

It was estimated that the next step would be to start reducing the quantity. Zhang Xingwang, who was familiar with this history, knew that three years of hard times were coming.

But San Ye is different. Cats have their ways and mice have their ways. Director Li is good at finding a leader, but San Ye is more professional at finding a tough job.

Zhang Xingwang took the cotton and industrial coupons and went back. As for the rice and flour, the manager pointed to the sky and Zhang Xingwang asked:

"Is there anyone above?"

“It depends on God’s will”

The real body spat and Zhang Xingwang went home.

Uncle San was a reliable man. The next morning, a replacement document was found in the crack of the wall in the alley where they had agreed to be. When he took a look, he saw that his cousin's name was written on the paper and stamped.

I turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. This time it was finally not that auntie who was the salesperson. I bought a bunch of cigarettes, alcohol and snacks, and left while the auntie looked at me and said, "It should be him, the guy who hasn't had his legs broken yet,"

After returning home, I took out the corn I had been rewarded with and prepared to go back to the village. Yesterday, Uncle Yougen went to the city to do some business and brought a message saying that my aunt's cousin's house had been repaired. My mother was eager to go and see it, after all, she didn't get to visit her eldest aunt's house the last time she went back to the village.

It's a good opportunity to leave the deaf old lady alone for a few days. This time she can't eat or smell the food. When she comes back and smells the odor, she will probably be completely out of control.

He took his mother Wang Xiulan and the clingy little girl and set off on his bike.

With the little girl's encouragement, the courier Master Zhang delivered the mother and daughter to the old man's house. Not only did he not exceed the time limit, but he even delivered the goods much faster than last time.

It seems that his nutrition has been improved recently and his physical fitness has improved a lot. When the old lady saw her grandson, she still held his hand, asked him about his life and talked a lot.

However, Zhang Xingwang enjoyed listening to it. Looking at the energetic old couple, he asked about the situation of his aunt's family. The old man talked for a long time with great interest. He said that the houses in the village were all adobe houses, so the speed of repairing them was relatively fast.

It's already been done and is just hanging out. My cousin Luo Dayong is also engaged to He Chunyan. My eldest aunt seems to have become ten years younger these days.

Zhang Xingwang and Wang Xiulan were also relieved to hear this. It seemed that the eldest aunt had finally put her worries to rest.

Seeing that it was still early, she and her mother Wang Xiulan took the little girl and prepared to go to her uncle's house.

When I arrived at the door, I saw that the courtyard gate was not closed. After I went in, I saw my aunt standing at the door of the toilet, peeking in, and she didn't notice that several people came in at all.

I was still feeling strange when I saw my uncle coming out of the bathroom. He gave my aunt a reassuring look. Then I realized that the mother and her two sons had arrived, and I quickly invited them in to sit down.

My mother Wang Xiulan asked my aunt curiously:

"What happened to your toilet?"

My aunt looked at my uncle and said embarrassedly:

"Your nephew is using the toilet in there, and your uncle is worried, so he went in to check."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang covered his face and laughed, thinking that his cousin probably still wanted to know what happened to his cousin's injuries. He said that his uncle was curious, but he was afraid that his aunt was even more curious.

The old couple were probably too embarrassed to ask their son and daughter-in-law, so they asked their uncle to secretly take a look in the bathroom. My cousin hadn't come out yet, so he must have been scared.

When I asked why my sister-in-law was not there, my aunt sighed and said that she was chatting with a few aunts in the village with the hospital examination report. She was still chatting! I guess she was seeking revenge on those aunts because she had been wronged.

After chatting for a while, my cousin came in with his feet turned outward. He looked about the same as when he was discharged from the hospital. He should be feeling better. After entering the house, he glanced at his uncle with resentment, then turned to Zhang Xingwang with a sad face and said:

"Xingwang, cousin, I am grateful for your good words. I have really embarrassed myself this time and have become a celebrity in the surrounding area.

I heard that now people in the village talk about my lower body every other sentence, and people passing by the gate all look at my lower body. What should I do? If it continues like this, it will soon be recorded in the county annals."

"It's okay, cousin, everything will be fine when you have children. What are you afraid of? It won't cost you any less to make them smile."

My cousin was even more sad when he heard this, and said with tears in his eyes:

"That's how they laugh at me..."

Upon hearing this, my aunt looked at my uncle with even more worry, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that my uncle looked at her as if everything was normal.

She looked at her son's depressed expression, then he covered his mouth and shook his shoulders as he went out to cook. She was undoubtedly his biological mother.

My sister-in-law also came back at this time. She looked very happy. She didn't say a few words before my cousin got up depressed and prepared to go back to the room to lie down.

As a result, after seeing this, the little girl followed behind, imitating her cousin, walking with the eight-character steps seriously, and she learned it very well.

My cousin’s wife looked at it and without saying a word, she covered her mouth and ran to cook.

The cousin, who was left with a look of grief and indignation, looked back at the little girl, his face turning green. He turned around, quickened his pace, walked away in duck steps, and didn't even look back.

The little girl was also caught by her mother and given a lecture. She took out the snacks and sweet potatoes she had brought and gave them to her uncle. The family had dinner under the sad and angry gaze of her cousin, and then the mother and her two children returned to the old man's house.

After a tiring day, Zhang Xingwang chatted with the old couple for a while and then fell into a deep sleep.

After breakfast the next day, the old man took a day off, and the family of five went to his eldest aunt's house together. As there was only one bicycle, Zhang Xingwang gave it to his mother Wang Xiulan and took the two of them on the road.

He carried the bag on his back and hurried over with the old man. There was no other way, as everyone in the family was curious about what was in the bag, and since he had to use the bag as a cover for the space, he had to carry it on his back.

As the two of them walked, the old man sighed with emotion, saying that the recent changes in the family were so great that he couldn't believe it. It had only been a short time, and the eldest grandson was about to give birth, and the youngest granddaughter was about to get married. He and his grandmother no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and good things happened in the family one after another.

We arrived at my eldest aunt's house. The original mottled courtyard wall had been repaired. My mother Wang Xiulan and the old grandmother were chatting with my eldest aunt. They seemed to be having a great time. My eldest aunt looked a lot younger and more energetic, just as the old man said.

My cousin is cleaning the house right now. The two dilapidated houses have been rebuilt. The adobe houses are built quickly, and after the autumn harvest, everyone has some free time. Many people came to help, so they started to apply mud for four consecutive days. Now they are waiting to dry.

My cousin also looked very happy and cheerful. He was smiling all the time. When he saw the father and son enter the yard, he quickly greeted them and they drank water and chatted.

During this period, the eldest aunt took the remaining money and wanted to return it to Zhang Xingwang first, saying that she spent 8 yuan on building the house, mainly on food, and the villagers only cared about food. The beams and wood were from the old house and the cousin's usual savings. The majority was the items and gifts for the cousin's engagement. A total of 7 yuan was spent, and 20 yuan was reserved for making a new bed. There were yuan left, and she had to return it to Zhang Xingwang first.

Zhang Xingwang said that he would return it after the money was collected and he didn't want the miscellaneous items, which made his aunt laugh and cry.
