Living like a salted fish in the end times

"Dad, can you give us another one?"

Little Pudding stretched out his little hand directly.

Zhang Hao shook his head: "No, you two only worked for two hours today, and the salary of 100 yuan is already very high, so don't be dissatisfied."

"Smelly Daddy! Bad Daddy!"

Little Pudding lost his temper on the spot.

"Stop making trouble." Zhang Hao patted his youngest son on the head, and then drew a big cake: "If you two really want to earn more money, then work hard and don't be lazy. You will have more money."

Little Pudding nodded guiltily. He was too tired just now, so he took a lot of laziness.

After the rest, the group was preparing to go home.

Zhang Hao stopped suddenly, looked at his sons and suggested, "Big Pudding, Little Pudding, this is the first time you two have been paid in your life, do you want to buy some gifts for your grandparents and grandma?"

"What about my sister's doll?"

Big Pudding hesitated.

"It's not like we won't come tomorrow. As long as you two are willing to endure hardships, you can save 8000 yuan for the whole summer vacation. This money is enough to buy dolls." Zhang Hao explained patiently.

"Father, I'm not afraid of suffering."

Big Pudding quickly expressed his opinion.

Zhang Hao immediately praised a few words, and then took the opportunity to teach: "Grandpa, grandma and grandma take care of you two hard every day, you have to be filial to them, you know?"

"Understood." Big Pudding nodded.

Little Pudding raised his chubby hand: "Dad, can I buy a present for Mom?"

"Of course! Mom must be very happy after receiving the gift." Zhang Hao nodded with a smile.

"Dad, do you want a gift?"

Big Pudding asked immediately.

"Father doesn't want it anymore." Zhang Hao waved his hand, "If you two are willing to come and help in Dad's shop, it is the best gift for Dad."

"Okay then, let's go shopping for presents now."

Big Pudding dragged his father to the booth next to him.

It took less than half an hour for the twins to buy gifts and set off on their way home contentedly.

"Grandma, grandma, mom, we're back."

As soon as they entered the door, the brothers shouted loudly.

Li Dajuan hurried up to greet her, and said with a concerned face: "Tell grandma, are you tired from work in the morning?"

"Not tired!" Little Pudding shook his head, and then handed the gift in front of grandma: "Grandma, this is a gift I bought for you with my salary. Dad said that the first salary is to buy a gift for the person he likes the most." .”

"Grandma, I bought it too."

Big Pudding followed with his own gift.

"Our big pudding and little pudding have finally grown up and know how to buy gifts for grandma."

Li Dajuan accepted the gift excitedly, and then kissed the faces of her grandchildren one by one.

Little Pudding was impatient and couldn't help urging: "Grandma, grandma, please take it apart and have a look."

"Okay, grandma will take it apart now."

Li Dajuan took off the wrapping paper unhurriedly.

Big Pudding saw grandma, and immediately ran over with the gift: "Grandma, this is a gift from me."

Zhang Hao helped to explain: "Mom, today is the first time for the two of them to work part-time. They got paid and bought gifts for you."

"Wow, our big pudding and little pudding are really filial." Mother Zhou laughed from ear to ear.

Soon, the gift boxes were opened one by one.

The big pudding is a hat for grandma, a pair of socks for grandma, and a hairpin for mother; the small pudding is a comb for grandma, and a pair of gloves for grandma. is a jewel with a glass heart.

There is no way, after all, the budget is only 100 yuan, and it has to be divided into four parts. I can only buy some worthless gadgets, and my thoughts are priceless.

In the evening, Zhang Chongxin returned home from get off work.

The twins couldn't wait to present their respective gifts. The big pudding gave a chess set, and the little pudding gave an ordinary water glass.

After Zhang Chongxin received the presents, he directly threw the emerald chess pieces and the high-end purple sand pots he usually used into the cabinet, and replaced them with gifts from his grandchildren.

And I especially told my wife to be careful when cleaning, and don't drop the cup.

……

Over the next week or so, the business of the ring shop gradually got on the right track. Once the novelty wore off, the daily turnover remained at about 1000 yuan.

The main reason is that the probability of canning is too low.

As of yesterday, a total of five cans of meat were taken away, except for the first day, and an average of one every four days thereafter. The enthusiasm of the big guys was quickly exhausted.

However, there was a little accident today. A young ferrule expert finally came to the store, and took away all the remaining cans in the store in one go, and finally had to close the store early.

Little Pudding cried: "Father, big brother is good or bad, he took away all the canned food from our house."

"People rely on their ability to eat, we have to admit it."

Zhang Hao sighed helplessly.

It's only four and a half boxes of canned food, he can afford to lose.

Captain Fang worriedly said: "Boss Zhang, what if the other party comes tomorrow? Should we add a restriction that each person can only wear one can?"

"Forget it, as our reputation grows, there will only be more and more professional players of this kind, and we can't defend against them." Zhang Hao shook his head.

"What should I do?"

"I just thought of a way."

Captain Fang hurriedly asked: "What way?"

"I plan to add the word 'children' in front of the name of the store, and at the same time reduce the difficulty of the ring. In the future, we will only accept children under the age of eight and return to the original intention of entertainment."

"Wonderful, good way!"

Captain Fang gave a thumbs up.

Zhang Hao smiled, then picked up the cash box, and took out two ten-yuan notes from it:
"Big Pudding, Little Pudding, this is the wages of the two of you today."

"Dad, did you take the wrong one? This is ten yuan, not 100 yuan." Big Pudding quickly reminded.

"That's right. Dad not only didn't make any money today, but he also lost tens of thousands of yuan. It's not bad for the two of you to have ten yuan."

Zhang Hao put on a businesslike attitude.

"But ten yuan is too little, isn't it?"

Little Pudding said unwillingly.

"Don't forget, you two only worked for ten minutes today, and ten yuan is just right."

Zhang Hao explained tirelessly.

He wants to establish a value of distribution according to work for the brothers, and don't always think about getting something for nothing.

The twins muttered a few words, but didn't find anything wrong, and finally accepted the ten yuan salary.

Blink of an eye to the next day, yesterday's ring master really appeared again.

"Little brother." Zhang Hao couldn't help teasing: "To be a man, you must be content. You just earned 6 to yuan from me yesterday. Do you still want to continue to squeeze wool today?"

"Boss, I didn't break the rules, did I?"

The young man retorted cheekily.

It is rare to meet such an honest boss, and the prizes are so generous, a little shame is nothing, making money is the right way.

Zhang Hao pointed to the signboard: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the rules have been changed today. From now on, our store only accepts children under the age of eight. I suggest you try your luck elsewhere!"

The young man turned around and left without a word of nonsense.

Seeing this, the twins slapped their hands excitedly. Dad was so powerful that he actually drove the big devil away.

……

On July 7, Zhang Chongyi and others arrived.

Zhang Hao rested for several days in a row, and after busy work, he finally helped his relatives settle down.

Immediately afterwards, as the due date approached, Zhang Hao sent his daughter-in-law to the hospital. Given the current traffic situation, if she got stuck halfway, it would be troublesome.

After a week like this, Yang Huaqing was finally about to give birth. Zhang Hao made several phone calls, and soon a large group of people arrived at the hospital one after another.

Includes large and small puddings.

"Xiao Hao, how is Hua Qing?"

Li Dajuan said with concern.

"Just pushed in."

Zhang Hao was restless.

Kuang Wenhui asked anxiously, "What did the doctor say? Nothing wrong?"

"Mom, don't worry, everything is normal now."

Zhang Hao comforted him.

"That's good." Kuang Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief, then scanned around, and couldn't help but wondered: "Hey, where is our old Yang? Zhang Hao, didn't you inform him?"

Yang Dengbang works in Haotian Group and is closer to the hospital, so he should have arrived earlier.

Zhang Hao quickly explained: "Mom, father-in-law went to the capital for a meeting, and he is already on his way back."

"What nonsense, Hua Qing is about to give birth, and he still has the mind to go to the meeting."

Kuang Wenhui couldn't help complaining.

Zhang Chongxin immediately helped explain: "Mother-in-law, Lao Yang is the head of the department after all, he is already busy, let's understand him more."

"No matter how busy he is, can he be as busy as Zhang Hao? I don't think he cares." Kuang Wenhui said angrily.

"Mom, you always calm down." Zhang Hao quickly persuaded, "Pearl City is not too far away, and I can be back in two or three hours. I just called, and when my father heard that Hua Qing was going to give birth, he didn't say anything. I couldn’t take care of it anymore, and quit the meeting halfway through.”

"Okay, mother-in-law, now that medical skills are so advanced, Hua Qing is sure to be fine, so you don't have to worry too much." Li Dajuan comforted her.

"Forget it, don't talk about him."

Kuang Wenhui waved her hand.

She wasn't looking for trouble just now, but wanted to take the opportunity to ease the tension in her heart.

Seeing that the adults had finished speaking, Little Pudding took his father's arm and asked, "Dad, when will I see my sister?"

"Sister is still in mother's womb, she hasn't been born yet, don't worry, she should see you soon." Zhang Hao knelt down and explained patiently.

Little Pudding shook the toy car in his hand: "Dad, I brought a toy for my sister."

"My sister is still young and can't play with toys yet. Wait until she grows up to play, okay?"

"Okay." Little Pudding nodded obediently.

Zhang Jiayi took the opportunity to tease: "Little Pudding, what if my mother gave birth to a younger brother?"

"No, Dad said that my sister is in my mother's womb." Little Pudding shook his head again and again.

"Your father guessed, it doesn't count."

"I don't care, I want my sister."

Little Pudding said "angry".

Zhang Hao patted his youngest son's head: "Okay, whether it's a younger sister or a younger brother, Little Pudding is an older brother, and an older brother must behave like an older brother."

Little Pudding nodded subconsciously, but in his heart, he still hoped to have a cute sister.

Zhang Jiayi wanted to tease her a little more, but Li Dajuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "What time is it, you still want to tease the children, where's your sister? Why isn't she here?"

"Mom, the elder sister was called away just now, and you know that the hospital is very busy, so she can't stay here all the time." Zhang Hao helped explain.

Li Dajuan complained a few words, but did not speak again.

In this way, everyone waited from 10:30 am to 04:30 pm, and Yang Huaqing finally gave birth.

"Congratulations, mother and child are safe."

"Amitabha..." Li Dajuan clasped his hands together, and hurriedly bowed to the west, "It's fine, God bless, I will go to the temple to fulfill my vows in two days."

The daughter-in-law gave birth for a full six hours, which really scared everyone into a cold sweat. If the doctor hadn't said there was no problem, they would have planned to have a cesarean section directly.

Zhang Chongxin quickly took out a stack of red envelopes and distributed them to the doctors and nurses one by one. The red envelopes were very thin, but inside they contained shopping coupons worth 1 yuan.

Zhang Hao couldn't wait to rush into the maternity room, wanting to see how his wife was doing.

Little Pudding took my sister-in-law's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, did mother give birth to a younger sister?"

Zhang Jiaqi also just arrived not long ago.

"No, didn't you hear? The nurse said that the mother and child are safe, and your mother gave birth to a younger brother."

"Brother?" Little Pudding burst into tears suddenly: "Wow, I don't want a brother, I want a sister."

The big pudding on the side also felt uncomfortable.

The younger sister whom the two brothers had been looking forward to for half a year unexpectedly disappeared and turned into a stinky younger brother. No one could bear this.

Li Dajuan heard her little grandson crying, and immediately walked over and pinched her little daughter:

"On the big day, do you have to make them both cry?"

"Mom, what does it have to do with me that they both want a younger sister?"

Zhang Jiaqi rubbed her arm and said with aggrieved face.

Li Dajuan glared at the younger daughter, and then hugged the little grandson into his arms: "Don't cry, our little pudding is an older child, and he has to set an example for his younger brother."

"Grandma, I want a sister."

Little Pudding sobbed.

He and his eldest brother even bought dolls, which are very beautiful and taller than the two brothers.

At the same time, Yang Huaqing, who was lying on the hospital bed, was just pushed out. Hearing what Little Pudding said, he quickly waved to the two little guys:

"Big pudding, little pudding, come to mother."

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Looking at the weak mother, the two little warm men went online immediately.

Yang Huaqing touched the foreheads of the two brothers one by one, showing a smiling face: "Mom is fine, just get some sleep, you two don't cry, mom promises you, next time you will have a younger sister."

"really?"

Little Pudding held back his tears in an instant.

"Really, how could Mom lie to Little Pudding?"

"Wow, that's great, my sister is still here."

The twins became excited.

Yang Huaqing immediately changed the topic: "However, can you two also agree to one condition for mother?"

"Mom, what's the condition?"

"Promise to mom that I will help mom take good care of my brother in the future, and be a good brother, can you do that?"

Big Pudding nodded without hesitation: "Mom, I'm the eldest brother. I will definitely take good care of my younger brother and prevent others from bullying him."

"I will protect my younger brother with my elder brother."

Little Pudding raised his fist.
