I am reborn without a pattern

Chapter 468 Arriving Home

At around ten o'clock and almost noon, Zhang Haonan returned to Wujiadai. The village already had a new road running east to west and north to south. The north one was still under construction and was suspended during the Chinese New Year. The south one was a two-lane road. Officially opened to traffic.

At this time, the road sign of "My Industrial Community" has been hung at the intersection of the two ends. Because the east end is close to the provincial highway, a huge stone was placed with Wei Gang's inscription engraved on it: Build a new countryside and create a new future.

The structure of the entire village has changed. The cultivated land has been significantly reduced, and the planning has also centered on "Wujia Lake" to form distinct living areas and industrial areas.

"My Family Garden", an affordable housing community, as well as "My Family Primary School" and "My Family Kindergarten" are all near "My Family Lake".

The technical secondary school was relocated as a whole to the canal in the north of the village. Firstly, it saves land. Secondly, it is relatively remote. Any major technical training will not affect the living area. Finally, it is the east-west road to the north. After the construction is completed, vehicles will no longer have to cross streets and alleys to enter and exit.

A parking lot has been opened next to the north-south village road that connects to the provincial highway. Based on the parking lot, the outer buildings are expanded to form the new village headquarters.

The new village headquarters is a complex of buildings. Part of the original village headquarters still functions as a joint defense team station, and the rest is leased to "Shacheng Food".

As soon as Zhang Haonan's bus stopped, the village cadres came out to greet him. Wu Renjuan also had a new look in the new year. She changed into a mink coat produced in Northeast China and already had a bit of style.

"Anan, you're back early."

"I'm so busy, I can finally relax a little bit."

After saying hello with a smile, Zhang Haonan took two cigarettes and handed them to the man next to Wu Renjuan, "It's rare to see my brother-in-law."

"Like you said, I'm extremely busy."

Wu Renjuan's husband took the cigarette from Zhang Haonan with a smile. He is now a broker in Wujiadai Village, specializing in delivering messages or acting as a middleman. For example, if someone wants to be a supplier of "Shacheng Food", he can help with a cigarette. , make a little money, you can't become rich, but it's okay.

It's not that he doesn't want to make a big fortune, but his wife has reminded him that when she gets promoted, it will be too late to make another fortune. With Zhang Haonan here, it is as good as the one hundred and eighty thousand that are in front of him now, so there is no need.

He also listened to it, so he always maintained a certain "status" in the countryside.

"Come here to play mahjong during the first month. Except for a few old men, there are very few people who are willing to play Chengjiang mahjong."

"sure……"

During the greetings, a window on the second floor of the elderly activity room east of the village office building opened, and a loud voice came: "Zhang Haonan! Turn around -"

"Come down and get the cigarettes!"

"Just come -"

Wu Chenglin has not yet retired. The city government asked him to serve as acting mayor for half a year before retiring. All kinds of messy things came together to cause this situation.

This includes top positions in urban and rural areas.

It sounds like he is just a mayor, but in fact, if he is appointed in a different place, he will be a deputy county magistrate. Therefore, Wu Chenglin got a big advantage in the struggle.

Before, Zhang Haonan was just bragging to him that he could become the mayor of the town, but now he has really become the mayor... Although he is an agent, who knows if it will be extended for another year and a half.

Wu Chenglin, who has a relaxed mentality, has no pursuit of fame and fortune. He just goes along with the situation. His main task now is to listen to the arrangements of the city government and ask him to discuss investment with "Shacheng Food". He will go back to the countryside by car and occasionally ride by himself. A motorcycle went to Ding Yong to ask for alms.

Last year, Wu Chenglin donated more than 6 million yuan to various departments of the municipal government, including not only the repayment of arrears of wages for rural teachers, funds for line reconstruction in poor villages, etc.

So he was arranged to be the acting mayor, and no one objected at all.

Ding Yong doesn't care about the more than six million. The accounts are all public and the employees know it well. When they go out to do work, they feel more proud psychologically and feel that their unit is not good enough.

"I……"

Wu Chenglin, who was going downstairs, was about to come over when he saw Shen Jinman with a big belly in the car. He quickly took a deep puff of the cigarette in his mouth, threw it on the ground, stamped it out, and then waved and slapped the surroundings. He took out the smoke, rubbed his hands, then walked over with a smile and continued, "I'm getting stronger again, which is good."

"A box with all kinds of cigarettes..."

After moving a box of cigarettes out, Wu Chenglin smiled from ear to ear and hurried to pick it up, "I'll move it myself, I'll do it myself."

He came here on a motorcycle to play chess today, also to wait for Zhang Haonan. After all, he hadn't seen this young man for a long, long time.

"That's enough to eat for several days."

"I'm not a long-time smoker. Now I only drink half a pack a day at most."

Wu Chenglin tied a box of cigarettes directly to the side of the motorcycle. Zhang Haonan held his hand beside him, and the old and the young were chatting.

"Now that you are the boss, Comrade Wu Chenglin, how do you feel?"

"Slim coffins, no matter how big or small!"

Raising his hand to strike, Zhang Haonan laughed, took a step away and continued, "If you need my help if you need anything, just say it."

"It doesn't matter whether I am an official or not. Anyway, I can do it for a few years. If I don't do it, I will play mahjong every day."

"Grandpa has a good attitude."

"What else am I dissatisfied with? The roads in the brigade have been built, buildings have been built, and there are several rows of factories. My own children and grandchildren will never die of hunger, so what else am I dissatisfied with?"

Wu Chenglin suddenly said again, "Ah San also has a career. If I die right now, there is nothing wrong with me."

The younger son Wu Yiming has just become the captain of a logistics company. After the Chinese New Year, he will go to other places to build a branch. If everything goes well, he will be called "Mr. Wu" next year.

The only fly in the ointment was probably that on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was said that Wu Yiming's biological father and mother came to look for relatives. Wu Chenglin was so angry that he almost died in the town government.

He was Wu Yiming who he picked up in a bridge hole on the twelfth lunar month. Despite the rumors and the pressure from his wife, he managed to support Wu Yiming in a decent way and saw his career succeeding. As a result, a pair of young children suddenly appeared. The son's biological parents, namely Wu Chenglin, are relatively strong in heart, but a little fragile. They are afraid that they will collapse at that time.

What's even more troublesome is that Wu Yiming used to only guess that he was not his biological child, but now he has completely confirmed that he is not his biological child.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Wu Yiming hid in a foreign country and never came back, which made Wu Chenglin feel very bad during the Chinese New Year.

But he didn't say anything. After all, you have to adjust yourself to this kind of thing and finally accept the reality.

Wu Chenglin is very happy that Zhang Haonan is back today.

He is just an ordinary old rural man who is vulgar and cunning. He does not have the ability to open up his heart like a cultured person, and his way of reaching reconciliation with himself is also very crude and clumsy.

Zhang Haonan didn't mention Wu Yiming, and just chatted with Wu Chenglin about what to do in the first month. With the good days, many things can be diluted.

After all, in the final analysis, this is just a vulgar and cunning old rural man.

Before the rebirth, this episode actually came later, probably three or four years later. At that time, Zhang Haonan's career had just started, and his business was doing well. Wu Chenglin also entered a retirement state early, and then was killed by his youngest son's biological child. My parents were so angry that they were hospitalized.

It's a little early now, but at least the old man is in good health, and that's enough.

As for Wu Yiming himself, he always has to go through a process of accepting reality. No one stipulates that adults must be stronger than minors.

"I'm happy with everything now."

Wu Chenglin emphasized this sentence again. Zhang Haonan didn't say much. He just took out a red envelope and said, "It's for grandma."

"She went back to her parents' home."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Wu Chenglin himself felt a little embarrassed and waved his hand, "I'll go up and play chess."

"You want to come over for dinner?"

"Come."

"Then I'll open a jar of old wine."

"good."

The old man's father-in-law is still alive and has a long life. He has always praised Wu Chenglin as his son-in-law, and even expressed his support for his adoption of Wu Yiming.

At least Wu Yiming's New Year's money from his "good grandpa" during the Chinese New Year was never less than others.

Some fates are indeed difficult to explain.

After greeting the people at the village headquarters, aunts and sisters-in-law came over to chat. The country bumpkin's suddenly rich temperament could be seen from his clothes.

The temperament of the nouveau riche is even more earthy than Zhang Haonan himself.

Fortunately, they still maintained their fear of Zhang Haonan, and they just surrounded Shen Jinman and Zhao Dai, helping to push the trolley and carry the bags, and they kept saying all kinds of good things.

They knew that these were Zhang Haonan's women, but they didn't say anything. They still don't understand why "Xiaoyan" agreed to her husband's behavior.

At the same time, because of Zhang Haonan, women keep an eye on their husbands even more closely, lest they follow his example.

There are rumors in the village that Zhang Haonan has many women outside, and they are talking about it in a convincing way, and they have turned from a reinforced company into a reinforced battalion.

In the eyes of rural women who care about sex, Zhang Haonan is a local bully who changes women every day.

However, Shen Jinman and Zhao Dai enjoyed the feeling of being coaxed and surrounded by a group of rural women, and they seemed to have the illusion of being a bit "country queens".

They spoke dialects that were not dialects, and Mandarin that was not Mandarin. They chatted with Shen Jinman about fun, interesting and delicious things. Of course, there were also some sisters-in-law who were close to each other and quietly came over to ask them how to enlarge their breasts.

The two big balls on Zhao Dai's chest made them stunned, and Shen Jinman's growing size also made them envious.

In the past, they didn't care about this. When their living conditions improved, they all wanted to improve their appearance and figure.

Woof!

Far away, a dog barked. This was not a warning, but a greeting, to confirm a signal.

Zhang Haonan bit his finger and whistled, and the dog immediately swung its head and tail like a cheerful calf, jumped and swayed, and rushed forward.

Circle around Zhang Haonan, then stand up and play with it.

"Not bad, you recognize me."

Touching the head of "Huhu", this dog is getting fatter and stronger now. It is obvious that when Zhang Haonan is not in the country, its food standard must be extraordinary.

The newly built fitness center at the intersection is paved with plastic. There are many people here, all waiting for Zhang Haonan.

Zhao Feiyan was on the phone while looking after her children there, Su Jiang was playing the game of "chase me and run away" with Zhang Ranyu, and Zhang Jin was holding a "Polaroid" to follow the "cat" climbing the guardrail net, with residue still remaining on it. There are lots of withered lentil and loofah vines.

"dad--"

Zhang Jin hung the camera, which was probably a bit heavy. He raised his head and pointed at the Spider-Man cat on the guardrail net, "Cat Cat~~~"

"Hey my little baby!"

He picked up Zhang Jin. Huhu kept wagging his tail, but did not chase the "cat". On the contrary, when Little Lihua saw Huhu, he jumped off the guardrail net in twos and twos, and then came together. When they arrived in front of Huhu, the cat and the dog were like a couple. After rubbing their cheeks, the cat followed the dog.

"Zhang Haonan! Turn around!"

"Just arrived. Grandpa is coming over for dinner!"

"Don't worry, I'll save my belly and I'll be hungry until dinner!"

Zhang Gangqian was saying hello on the grounds of his home across a small river. He held a cigarette in his hand, sat on a wicker chair with his legs crossed, and smiled very happily.

While flicking the ashes from his cigarette, the old man said to his son and grandson, "Zhang Nan looks like his old lady."

"The old lady is not looking for that many wives."

"You know only eggs."

Zhang Gangqian took a puff of his cigarette and didn't bother to talk nonsense to his grandson, because his grades hit a new low this year and he became the least promising person in the family.

In the Zhang family, the only criterion for measuring one's potential is studying. It doesn't matter how much money one makes or how big an official one becomes. At least for now, this is still the ironclad rule.

Even when Zhang Haonan is mentioned, the first thing he talks about is how smart he is at studying, rather than how good he is at doing business. There is also a logic that because Zhang Haonan is good at studying, he does big business.

"Ada."

"Good test."

When I met Zhang Haowei, his father Zhang Zhicai was unloading the goods. He smiled while standing in the truck compartment, threw away the cigarette in his mouth, jumped down, wiped his hands, and greeted Zhang Haonan: "Anan."

"What else are you busy with on New Year's Eve?"

"The fast food company's New Year's goods will be distributed later."

"Let's ask two people to help. Can one person handle it?"

"Awei is here to help."

Zhang Zhicai still kept smiling.

"Oh, not bad."

Zhang Haonan patted Zhang Haowei on the shoulder and said, "As long as you do well in the exam, I will give you a computer."

"Thank you Ada!"

"With your ability, you can get into a better university. Try to get into Jiaotong University."

"good!"

He patted Zhang Haowei on the shoulder again. He had grown a lot taller than the year before, and was now 1.75 meters tall, but he was on the thin side. His style was different from Zhang Haodong, Zhang Haonan, and Zhang Haobei.

"Uncle, I'll turn around first. I'll bring you two cigarettes later."

"Okay, then I'll be busy first."

The daughter who was sitting astride Zhang Haonan's neck did not urge her father. Instead, she put her hands on the old father's head, and then rested her chin on her arms, leisurely, and her little red leather shoes swayed casually on the old father's chest.

"Bye bye grandpa~~"

When Zhang Haonan turned around and left, Zhang Jin actually waved to Zhang Zhicai. He was so happy that Zhang Zhicai was a little reserved and smiled brightly. He nodded and waved on the side of the car, looking extremely clumsy.

"Wow, honey, you are so polite."

"I know how to be polite~~"

"Hahahahahaha..."

He shook his daughter around his neck, making her giggle, then trotted all the way back home.
