Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Chang Wanzhu walked into the yard holding a 50-centimeter-long black-skinned watermelon. As soon as she entered the yard, she complained to Chang Zhengyang who was sitting in the sun: "Brother, it's so hot, aren't you afraid of being sunburned to death? Yingya, go to the kitchen and get a knife!"

Chang Yingya, who was lying under the grape vines reading a picture book, got up and ran into the kitchen.

Chang Zhengyang didn't raise his eyelids and said, "Let me ask you a question. Where does the energy of all living things on Earth come from?"

Chang Laowu held his chin up and thought, "Where do all living things get their energy from? Food!"

Chang Zhengyang opened his eyes, glanced at his unlearned sister, then closed his eyes again, feeling the sense of fulfillment brought by the scorching summer sun.

"It's the sun. The energy of all life on Earth comes from the sun. Plants grow through photosynthesis and are then eaten by animals. When animals die, they become nutrients for plants."

"Oh, brother, eat melon..."

Chang Laowu took the kitchen knife from Chang Yingya, cut the watermelon skillfully, and handed a piece to Chang Zhengyang first. After the other party took it, he ate it all, including the skin and meat. Chang Wanzhu was no longer surprised, so she took another big piece and handed it to him.

"Brother, a big incident happened in our alley a few days ago!"

Chang Zhengyang said without comment: "What happened?"

I knew without even looking at him, just by listening to Chang Laowu's cheerful tone, I knew that the big event she was talking about must be gossip.

Chang Wanzhu took a bite of the crunchy melon flesh and said with a smile, "You know Banggeng? He graduated from high school a few days ago. I saw him that day. According to the policy, Banggeng was going to join the production team in the countryside next month. Guess what happened?"

Chang Zhengyang ate a watermelon and asked nonchalantly, "What happened to him?"

Chang Wanzhu slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, they've climbed up the ladder, so there's no need to cut in line now!"

"Climbing the ladder?"

Chang Zhengyang couldn't help but sit up straight. Does Banggeng have this ability?

When Chang Laowu saw that Chang Zhengyang's curiosity was aroused, he became extremely proud.

But she didn't keep the secret and explained directly, "Yes, I have climbed up the social ladder. Brother, do you still remember a classmate of mine in junior high school named Zheng Chunhua? She was the big and strong girl, nicknamed Zheng Tornado."

"This Zheng Chunhua!"

The image of Zheng Chunhua appeared in Chang Zhengyang's mind. The reason why he could remember her immediately when Chang Wanzhu mentioned this name was that Zheng Chunhua was very famous in Nanluoguxiang!

When most people hear a name like Zheng Chunhua, they will definitely think it is a girl's name, and Zheng Chunhua is indeed a girl.

But this girl is a little unusual. She also has a nickname, Zheng Xuanfeng, which doesn't mean that she does things as fast as a whirlwind, but that she looks like Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind in Water Margin.

That’s right, Zheng Chunhua is tall and strong, with dark skin and a strong physique. Anyone who sees her for the first time will subconsciously praise her: What a big and strong woman!

Equating a girl with a burly man, even if it's Chang Zhengyang, it's hard not to know this kind of person!

Chang Zhengyang stroked his chin and said, "You just said that Banggeng has climbed up the social ladder. I remember that Zheng Chunhua's father is Zheng Dahe, the director of the meat processing factory. Could it be that Banggeng..."

Snapped!

Chang Wanzhu hammered her palm hard and said excitedly: "That's right, Banggeng proposed to Zheng Chunhua!"

"Uh, I didn't realize that Banggeng is such a ruthless guy!"

Chang Zhengyang paused, and the scene of Zheng Chunhua acting coquettishly to Banggeng 2 involuntarily emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but shudder, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

It feels like Black Whirlwind Li Kui pinching his throat and acting coquettishly to you in a coquettish manner...

I don’t dare to think about it! I don’t dare to think about it!

Chang Zhengyang quickly picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth to calm himself.

"I remember that Mr. Zheng only had one daughter, Zheng Chunhua, so Banggeng is a live-in son-in-law?"

Chang Zhengyang knew Zheng Dahe. Although he was not a high-ranking figure, he was the director of a meat processing plant. In those days, the director of a meat processing plant was a very popular person. There were countless people who wanted to make friends with him just to get more meat to eat.

"It seems so. I heard from several other classmates that Banggeng is now working as an accountant in a meat processing factory. I can't believe that guy actually likes Zheng Chunhua. Tsk tsk, I really can't tell..."

Chang Wanzhu was eating the watermelon while shaking her head, completely unaware that Chang Zhengyang was looking at her as if she were a fool.

Is this damn girl just a thick-skinned person or really stupid?

Does Banggeng like Zheng Chunhua?

They love the job of slaughtering!

In fact, Chang Zhengyang had long noticed that Banggeng was coveting his sister. If Chang Laowu had not always been indifferent to this kind of pretty boy, he would have found someone to beat Banggeng up long ago.

You are an uneducated, lazy dog, how dare you have such improper thoughts about Mr. Chang's sister? You are lucky that I didn't break your legs.

Chang Zhengyang never thought that the reason why Banggeng would become the son-in-law of the Zheng family this time was actually closely related to Chang Laowu. If Chang Laowu had not shown disdainful attitude towards Banggeng that day, he might have gone to the countryside of Hebei Province to join the team as arranged by his father Jia Dongxu.

But even if he knew the reason, Chang Zhengyang wouldn't care.

To be honest, as Chang Wanzhu said, Banggeng has indeed climbed to a high branch.

As a child of an ordinary working-class family, if he didn't have any great opportunities, he would have just taken over Jia Dongxu's job and been an ordinary worker in his life.

But now that he has become Zheng Dahe's son-in-law, Zheng Dahe will definitely spare no effort to train this kid. Within ten years, this guy will be able to become a section chief.

Even under the tide of market economy, the meat processing plant is still a good unit because they have the right to slaughter.

Even if ordinary people raise pigs themselves, if you want to sell them, I'm sorry, if the pigs are not slaughtered in a meat processing plant and do not have a quarantine stamp, they cannot be sold to the outside world!

"Zhengyang is at home, Wanzhu is also here..."

Jia Dongxu walked into the yard from outside and greeted Chang Zhengyang and the others.

"Hey, Brother Dongxu, what are you doing?"

Chang Zhengyang stood up and asked Chang Wanzhu to bring a watermelon to Jia Dongxu, but the other party did not take it. Instead, he took out a handful of melon seeds, peanuts and candies from the basket he was carrying and put them on the stone table under the grape vines.

Chang Zhengyang and Chang Wanzhu looked at each other and roughly guessed the purpose of the grassroots group's visit.

Sure enough, Jia Dongxu's next words confirmed the brother and sister's thoughts.

"My Bang Geng has married a wife. The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow. I hope you can come and support us!"

That’s really the case!

Chang Zhengyang grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts and stuffed them into Chang Yingya's pocket, then smiled at Jia Dongxu and said, "Congratulations, brother Dongxu. You'll be a grandfather next year."

Jia Dongxu forced a smile upon hearing this and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
