A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Zhang Jiaqiang replied with a smile: "I have nothing to do at home. I have prepared a lot, and I hope you can eat more. You can eat as much as you want when you go over after eating."

Zhang Lan nodded and asked, "Who is here? Isn't it just the two of us?"

"Xiao Bin is here, there is no one else among the three of us." Zhang Jiaqiang said.

Zhang Lan nodded, and there was another person, so he probably wouldn't have anything important to say later.

"How did you get here? How about I ride there?"

"No, no, I drove here. The car is parked at the door. When I come back later, I will drive a three-wheeler to take you back. I have a scooter for the elderly at home." Seeing Zhang Lan preparing to ride an electric scooter in the yard, Zhang Jiaqiang hurriedly Stopped and said.

As soon as Zhang Jiaqiang entered Zhang Jiaqiang's house, he saw the dishes on the coffee table and asked, "Why are there so many? Is it just the three of us?"

"It's okay, just eat slowly. It's okay." Zhang Jiaqiang, who came in from behind, said.

"That's too much. There are eight dishes here. What's stewed in that pot, Xiaobin? Come sit here and eat, it's a lot. Jiaqiang, you don't have children at home, so ask everyone in the family to come and eat. . How can we finish eating this?" Zhang Lan said as he sat down on a chair nearby.

"There are some pork ribs stewed in the pot. Zhang Lan, you should eat it. It will be ready soon." Xiao Bin opened the lid of the pot and looked at it before closing it again.

"Xiao Bin, come and sit here and eat. Don't worry about the ribs. Just turn off the heat after a while. I'm here at home. My mother and my child went to Jinling and won't come back in two days." Zhang Jiaqiang came from the side. He took out a few cans of beer from the refrigerator and said as he opened them.

He took the beer and put it on the coffee table. Zhang Jiaqiang took out two bottles of liquor from the coffee table on the side and put it on the coffee table. Then he sat down on the chair and said, "There is no one else but our third brother today. How do you want to drink this wine?" You can drink whatever you want, don’t force it. If you want to drink beer, you can have beer, or if you want to drink liquor, there is liquor. If you don’t want to drink, there are drinks in the refrigerator, and there are water dispensers by the wall. Don’t force me to drink, just drink as much as you want.”

Zhang Lan nodded, took a bottle of cold canned beer, put it in front of him, and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll drink beer today. Don't be offended later."

"What's wrong with that? I just said that you can win whatever you drink. Xiaobin, what are you drinking?" Zhang Jiaqiang asked with a smile.

"I'm drinking white wine. Brother Qiang, we've both won one bottle. Let's put that bottle away. If you feel unsatisfied later, drink some beer and win. I can't tell what's going on tomorrow, so I can't drink it. I'm too drunk." Xiao Bin thought for a while and said.

"Well, let's drink this bottle today and pour it down after drinking it. I won't let you, Zhang Lan. I only poured it for the two of us." Zhang Jiaqiang started to open the package, unscrewed the bottle cap and took two The wine glass began to be filled with wine, and he said while pouring the wine.

Zhang Lan smiled and waved his hand, raised the bottle of beer he had just opened and said, "Don't let me, don't let me. I'll just drink this and win."

"Which one will go first?" After pouring the wine, Zhang Jiaqiang raised his glass and said.

"Just leave one by one."

"Then take one."

Two wine glasses and a can, pick them up with three hands and lift them upwards.

Just as Zhang Lan thought, Zhang Jiaqiang didn't say anything else at the gathering of three people. Most of the time, he just talked about things in daily life.

After drinking for three rounds, we talked about Zhang Jiaqiang's sudden return to work.

Both Zhang Lan and Xiao Bin advised Zhang Jiaqiang that after working in Jinling for so many years and buying a house and starting a family, there was no need to return home.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of children's education, there is a huge gap between home and Jinling City. Shan Province is a major province in the college entrance examination. Although Jinling is also difficult, it is much better than Shan Province.

Zhang Jiaqiang shook his head and sighed. What Zhang Lan and Xiao Bin said made sense. He had heard it a lot these days, but it was really different. Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

Over the years, in order to settle down in Jinling, he worked hard at the company from dawn to dusk. Even after get off work, he worked hard part-time to earn money, so that his children could gain a foothold in Jinling in the future.

Zhang Jiaqiang is also the only son in his family. His parents are also farmers. Apart from working in the fields, he has no additional income.

In order to build a house in Jinling, Zhang Jiaqiang's parents worked early and late with the house-building team in the village. His father was a big worker building walls, and his mother was a small laborer.

After working hard for half a life, he saved more than 200,000 yuan, and finally gave it to Zhang Jiaqiang to buy a house in Jinling and get married.

After Zhang Jiaqiang's child was born, Zhang Jiaqiang's mother went to take care of the child for them. Zhang Jiaqiang's father still worked outside to earn money to support Zhang Jiaqiang.

Later, after his children grew up and started to go to school, Zhang Jiaqiang's father began to farm in Qingshan Village due to age and health reasons, and occasionally worked as a handyman with the house-building class.

Zhang Jiaqiang asked his father to follow him to Jinling several times, but his father refused. Zhang Jiaqiang's father felt that by farming alone in Qingshan Village, he could save some money from the food in the fields and do odd jobs from time to time, and he could also help Zhang Jiaqiang.

And after he went to Jinling, apart from other things, Zhang Jiaqiang's house alone was a bit uninhabitable.

The cost of living is too high if you rent an apartment outside. Although the salary of working outside is high, the consumption is also high, so it is better to be at home.

Zhang Jiaqiang's family is very hard-working and strong, and they are not willing to take a day off. Originally, Zhang Jiaqiang thought that his family had turned over. When his children grow up in the future, they can be said to be Jinling people.

His generation has taken root in the big city, and his children will receive education and enjoy the resources of the big city. His own hardships and fatigue are nothing.

But this kind of rooting eventually meant that when his father passed away, there was no one around him. He, his wife, children, and mother all lived in Jinling, leaving his father at home alone. No one knew about his death.

In order to so-called take root, there was no one around my father when he passed away. Especially for cerebral hemorrhage, there are warning signs long before the onset.

His father was not feeling well but never said it. Because Zhang Jiaqiang was not around, he was reluctant to even go to the doctor for a checkup and medication.

Rural people have less knowledge and less good resources, but that is where Zhang Jiaqiang’s roots are, where he grew up and where his father spent his whole life. Zhang Jiaqiang no longer wants to force himself to squeeze into big cities. He wants to live in a big city. I guard my father in my hometown.

After his father's funeral affairs were settled, Zhang Jiaqiang returned to Jinling and suffered from insomnia all night. He could not think of the meaning of his struggle in the city.

He and his wife earn about 20,000 yuan a month, and they can't bear to eat or drink. In addition to paying off the mortgage and daily necessary consumption, the rest is just to enroll their children in a few cram schools and interest classes, so they can live their lives. It has to be tight.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiaqiang told his wife that he wanted to take his children back to his hometown and no longer wanted to work hard in the city.
