Chapter 45 Smoke rising from ancestral graves The next day. Zhang Chi was woken up by his mother Fu Li early in the morning. This is the inconvenience of Xiasha Village. If you want to buy some presentable ingredients, you have to go to the farmers' market in the county town. After washing up, I ate the breakfast made by my mother in a few bites. Zhang Chi drove a Mercedes-Benz G and took his mother to the county town. "Hey, this big car is so different to sit in. Hey, Chizi, how much is this car?" Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and replied with a wandering look, "A few hundred thousand." "So expensive?" Fu Li frowned and asked worriedly, "What are you going to do with someone else's expensive car?"
Zhang Chi knew this would happen, so he had to explain patiently: "You saw it before, this car is an accident car, and it was only worth 30,000 to 50,000 before it was repaired." Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Then it can be sold for hundreds of thousands after it is repaired?" "more or less." Zhang Chi laughed and quickly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, Mom, when I went to visit the graves before, I saw that grandpa and grandma's graves were a bit old. Do you think we should spend some money to repair them?" Fu Li's expression changed, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, it would be better if you discuss this matter with your father and your aunt." Zhang Chi said 'hmm'. This idea was not just thought up to change the subject, but I really had this in mind. His grandparents used to be very good to him, but when they passed away, Zhang Chi was still a child and had no way to fulfill his filial duties. Now that I finally have some spare money, I'd spend tens of thousands of dollars to renovate the cemetery, which can be considered another form of filial piety. Speechless all the way. Arrived at the county vegetable market. Fu Li carried her basket and went straight to the seafood area. "Duoduo said before that she likes to eat prawns. What else did she say?" Zhang Chi thought for a moment and said, "There is also pudding." Fu Li gave him a sidelong glance in annoyance, then grabbed the largest lobster and started bargaining with the boss. at this time. An old lady came over with a girl, glanced at Zhang Chi, and then pulled Fu Li. Fu Li was bargaining enthusiastically when she was suddenly pulled and turned around to look. "Oh, it's really you, Ali."
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, the corner of her mouth twitched, and said, "It's you." The old lady laughed dryly, glanced at the broken basket that Fu Li was carrying, and said with a smile: "Don't be so cold. It's New Year's Day and I was wrong. I didn't control my words. I came all the way here to apologize to you." "Come on, if an apology is useful, why do we need the police? Don't you think so?" The aunt was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She glanced at Zhang Chi and said, "Hey, this is Chizi, right? Why are you back?" Zhang Chi looked at his mother and saw that she had a cold face. He smiled bitterly and said, "I quit my job. Now I have opened a car repair shop at the entrance of our village." The aunt's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. She raised her eyebrows proudly and said with a smack of her lips: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, you are a college student after all. You can find any job, but you chose to repair cars. Now you are...Ah, auntie, I feel sorry for you." Fu Li frowned and glared at the aunt with eyes like knives. The auntie pulled her daughter behind her and said, "My Yanyan is not as capable as you, but although she only has a college diploma, her monthly income is quite good. Yanyan, you make about 10,000 yuan a month, right?" The girl looked at her mother speechlessly, then nodded guiltily at Fu Li and Zhang Chi. She is a nice mother usually, but for some reason, she likes to show off every time she sees people from her hometown. She also has no control over her mouth and dares to say anything. Now the family of four is afraid to return home and can only live in a small apartment in the county town. Even so, her mother still regards herself as a city dweller every day and looks down on the country folks in her hometown, Xiasha Village. "Look, I'm not just showing off." The old lady continued, as if she were an elder who had experienced everything: "Chizi, you have to think it through. It is extremely difficult for a young man nowadays to find a partner without a car or a house. What's the point of opening a car repair shop? I don't think your family can even afford it." Zhang Chi scratched his head in embarrassment. He really didn't know how to deal with this kind of woman. Fu Li, on the other hand, raised her eyelids and said, "You, a city dweller, don't have to worry about that. Whether my son can find a partner and whether he can earn enough money to support his family is the Zhang family's business." As he said that, he gestured to Zhang Chi to pick up his things, pay the bill and leave. Seeing this, Zhang Chi hurriedly scanned the code to pay. Unexpectedly, the auntie didn't want to let them go so easily. Seeing Zhang Chi paid more than 800 yuan at once, the auntie showed a surprised expression and shouted in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, what kind of delicacies are you buying? Let me see." As he said this, he opened the bag. Then people were stunned. She originally thought that 800 yuan would require a lot of things, but in the bag there was only a lobster as big as a calf. Fu Li snatched the bag away in a bad mood and frowned, "If you want to eat it, buy it yourself. You act like you have never seen the world. What's so good about a prawn?" "Big, big shrimp?" Does your prawn look like this? The aunt opened her mouth, wanting to say that Fu Li was ignorant, but she didn't know how to start. Fu Li snorted coldly, pulled Zhang Chi and turned away. The aunt looked at the two people's receding backs and finally came to her senses.
"You're crazy. You spent over 800 bucks on a lobster. You can burn it if you have the money!" Hearing this, the girl said helplessly: "Mom, if you want to eat it, let's buy one too." "Buy, buy, buy, buy your head, just for your 3000 yuan monthly salary?" The girl stuck out her tongue and looked guiltily at the seafood owner. The boss, however, turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and was only focused on selling seafood. This mother and daughter were obviously not as wealthy as the two just now, so he quickly took out a basket of prawns that had been crushed during transportation. "Big sister, it just died. How about 20 yuan per pound?" The aunt lowered her head and picked and chose, bargaining with disdain: "18, I buy from you every day, can you give me a little cheaper?" The boss shrugged indifferently. He thought he would eat it himself if he didn't sell it, so he would make a profit no matter how much he sold. As for the auntie who said she often came to buy seafood from his shop, if the boss remembered correctly, today was the first time they met. After half an hour. Zhang Chi carried large and small bags of food and put them into the trunk. Fu Li's face still looked ugly, but it was a little better than before. Zhang Chi originally wanted to ask what happened during the New Year, but seeing his mother's expression, he decided to go back and ask Lao Zhang. Start the car. Zhang Chi slowly drove out of the parking lot. Suddenly, an electric bike rushed out from the market at the intersection. Zhang Chi was startled and slammed on the emergency brake. "I'm going to die. If you drive without looking at the road and hit me, I'll..." Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that this world is too small, how could we meet each other when we are about to leave. Fu Li raised her eyebrows, lowered the car window, leaned out and cursed: "Long Fengjiao, try to curse again!" That’s right, the person riding the electric bike was the old lady from the same village. "Is it really you, you, you... this car?" Fu Li snorted coldly and cursed, "What do you mean by 'I'? Get out of here now. If you don't, I'll kill you!" The girl sitting in the back seat of the old lady looked at the Mercedes-Benz G-Class logo in surprise, then secretly glanced at Zhang Chi who was driving, and then urged her mother to get out of the way. The old lady listened to Fu Li's voice of driving her away, and looked at the conspicuous big logo of the Mercedes-Benz G. She looked like a walking corpse, and let her daughter push her and the electric bike to get out of the way. Seeing this, Zhang Chi stepped on the accelerator and drove away. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that his mother would get out of the car and fight with the old lady.
After all, we are from the same village. It's a bit too much to let it get to that point. Looking at the Mercedes-Benz G going away, the aunt stammered, "Yanyan, was it Fu Li and her son who were driving the car just now?" Seeing her mother's pale face, the girl couldn't help but ask with concern: "Mom, are you okay?" The old lady looked at the Mercedes-Benz G that had disappeared at the end of the road and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. However, she soon smiled morbidly, turned around and asked, "Where's your phone? Check how much the car cost. It looks like a coffin car to me, so it's probably only over 100,000 yuan at most." Seeing her mother was still stubborn, the girl couldn't help but smile bitterly and was about to speak. The old man who was collecting parking fees nearby laughed and said, "Girl, that's not a coffin car. You know the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, it costs several million." Aunt: "...Okay, several million, is the Zhang family's ancestral grave smoking?" Girl: ╮(╯_╰)╭ (End of this chapter)
