Chapter 543 Drinking
Zhang Lan originally planned to go to the cemetery the next morning to take a look. It was already past one in the afternoon when he got home today.

I didn't even stop for a bite of food along the way. At noon, I ate some snacks and drank two bottles of water while parking at the service area.

I originally planned to find a restaurant to eat after getting off the expressway in Canghe, but after looking at the time, it was around noon. Most of the restaurants that were nice on the roadside were quite busy at this time, so I didn’t wait to sit there. It’s hard to put food in your mouth in half an hour.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and drove directly to his home. It only took four and ten minutes to get off the highway and drive home. With the time to wait for the meal, Zhang Lan could almost reach home.

It’s not about what you want to eat when you get home, and Zhang Lan feels that home-cooked meals taste much better than roadside restaurants.

Most of the restaurants on the roadside are heavy with oil and salt due to the fire, and the taste of the food itself is obscured by the smell of seasonings and heat.

While talking, Zhang Lan's mother had already prepared the meal.Before Zhang Lan drove home today, she had already told her mother that she was going home today.

At around [-] o'clock at noon, I called Zhang Lan to ask where he was. When Zhang Lan entered the house, the first thing he said was to ask if Zhang Lan had eaten.

Hearing that Zhang Lan had not eaten, Zhang Lan's mother started cooking and took out cold dishes from the refrigerator for Zhang Lan to eat first.The dishes are all ready-made, and I just went to the supermarket to buy them in the morning.

While Zhang Lan was eating the vegetables, she beat the eggs into the braised noodles. It only took about 5 minutes for Zhang Lan's mother to prepare them.When Zhang Lan heard her mother say that the meal was ready, she got up and went to the kitchen. Before she could reach the door, she saw her mother walking out of the kitchen with a large bowl full of noodles.

He took the bowl and sat at the dinner table. While eating, he talked about the cemetery.After finishing the meal, Zhang Lan's mother asked Zhang Lan if he had eaten enough. After receiving a positive answer, Zhang Lan's mother got up and went to clean the kitchen.

Zhang Lan's mother finished cleaning the kitchen and went to take a nap. Zhang Lan, who was bored, packed up two cold dishes from the refrigerator and put them on the coffee table. She took her mobile phone and called Zhang Hu.

After the call was connected, Zhang Lan smiled and asked, "Where are you now?"

"You're at home, why did you remember to call me?" Zhang Hu replied lazily.

"It's okay. I just called to see where you are now. Are you in the city or in the village?" Zhang Lan then asked.

"In Murakami, haven't we started harvesting corn in the past two days? I'm back to work."

Zhang Hu seemed to realize something and quickly asked: "You are back? Will you be at home now?"

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "I just got home and just had dinner. Come over and have a chat when you have time."

"Wait for me for a while. I'll put on some clothes and go over." Zhang Hu replied.

After a while, the sound of an electric car entering the yard was heard in the yard, and then Zhang Hu's voice was heard shouting: "Which house is Zhang Lan?"

"Come in, it's in the main room." Zhang Lan responded.

As Zhang Hu opened the door curtain and entered the room, Zhang Lan waved and said, "Come sit here and have a drink?"

Zhang Hu walked to the sofa and sat down and said with a smile: "What are you doing with peanuts, celery and fungus? You don't even have meat and vegetables, what are you drinking?"

Zhang Lan pointed to the refrigerator nearby and said: "If you want to drink, there are all kinds of dishes in the refrigerator. If you don't want to drink, just dip your mouth into these two dishes." "I'll go and have a look in the refrigerator. Why don't I get two more?" Food." Zhang Hu didn't show up, got up and walked to the refrigerator.

Watching Zhang Hu open the refrigerator, Zhang Lan said with a smile: "There are sausages, shredded ears, pig head meat and beef. Just take out what you want to eat and go to the kitchen to cut and mix."

Zhang Hu turned around and said to Zhang Lan: "You can come over and cook two random dishes, and we two brothers will have a good meal."

Zhang Lan stood up from the sofa and said with a smile as he walked: "You are ready to do something big."

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll cool down what you're making hot." Zhang Hu urged.

"Don't worry, we just had a meal, so take it slow to digest it."

Ten minutes later, six dishes of four meat and two vegetarian dishes were placed on the coffee table. Zhang Hu unscrewed the wine bottle and poured two glasses of wine. He raised the bottle and said to Zhang Lan: "We won't drink too much today. The two of us are here." Just drink one bottle and that’s it.”

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll win more or less of these."

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Lan asked: "I came back today. When I was eating, I heard my mother say that my uncle is planning to build a tomb and pave the road with cement. Zhang Hu, do you know?"

Zhang Hu nodded and said: "I know, my dad told me, but he didn't say about building roads. He only said that the heavy rain at the cemetery a few days ago destroyed a large area of ​​​​the stone bank, and he even took a video for me to watch. Look, he asked me to find an excavator and ask how much it costs for one hour."

"What's your opinion?" Zhang Lan asked casually.

Zhang Hu said with a smile: "I don't have any objection. Whatever it takes is fine. To be honest, what my father means is that he wants you to pay for the road construction, and then we will share the money for the tomb construction equally. But this Or what do you think?"

Zhang Hu made the matter clear without saying anything else.Zhang Hu also knew very well that the construction of roads and graves mainly depended on Zhang Lan, who was the main contributor of money.

Zhang Lan nodded and said: "What I mean is that tomorrow we will first see how the several pieces of land have been damaged by water, and then we will see how to repair them. Money issues are trivial matters. Since we are planning to make a big deal, , just repair it once and for all, don’t repair it this time, wait until the Chinese New Year when it rains heavily and it will be washed away, and then you have to repair it and so on.”

Zhang Hu said with a smile: "Then it goes without saying. As long as you say that money is not an issue, then there is no other issue. Now we only need to pay for it. Someone will be responsible for building roads and graves. We only need to be responsible for supervision. That’s it.”

Zhang Lan shook his head and said: "That's not the case. You have worked on a construction site before. You should know that without laying a good foundation in advance, it is unrealistic to just expect others to do a good job for you in the future. We only have our minds on how it will be done. Only those who do the work will do a good job for others."

"That's true. It's just like decoration. Once you have the drawings ready and you know what the details are, you can save a lot of effort when decorating later." Zhang Hu nodded and said.

Zhang Lan smiled and said: "That's what I mean. Let's do one piece first to see how it will be built. For example, aren't the two sides of the cemetery washed away by water? Do we need to build some slope protection this time on the hillsides on both sides? Then we can build some slope protection on both sides. Should we build a waterway along both sides so that water can flow out? When building a waterway, whether to build one side or two sides, this all has its merits."

"When the man who built the waterway was relocating the tomb, I heard someone say that it would be better to build a waterway on the north side. The water guide on the left is best, and the water on both sides seems not to be good." Zhang Hu interjected. .

"It's not that it's best to divert water from the left to the right. It depends on the orientation of the tomb and the direction of the water." Zhang Lan said with a smile.
