Old Man Feng put his hand on the handlebars of the bicycle, smiled with two rows of white teeth, and said quite proudly: "Of course I have the ability, how can I be the previous village chief if I don't have the ability?"
The villagers who were crowded at the front nodded their heads almost to the point of breaking, "I'm really speechless, old village chief, you and Uncle Zhang are the first in our village to have a bicycle, I admire you two so much, what are you going to do now that you've arrived?"
Old man Feng is such a smart person, of course he wouldn't say it stupidly, he brushed away the man's hand and said, "There are still livestock in the car, I have to put them at home quickly, so I won't talk to you guys anymore. ."
How could the people in the village let go of such an opportunity? They hadn't seen the addiction yet, so they came home with the Feng family, and helped unload the sewing machine and carried it to the main room.
Old Feng's house was crowded with people both inside and outside. Men liked those two bicycles the most, it's so good and convenient to use. If they can't buy one then I can touch it for now.
The women all like sewing machines, and when they looked at the sewing machine Madam Feng bought, they couldn't help but feel their envy. There was an old sister who had a good relationship with Mrs. Feng said, "Sister-in-law Miao, is this machine easy to use? Is it ready to be used? Can you show us how to use this machine?"
Madam Feng wanted to show off, so she went back to the room and took out a scrap of cloth, and sat behind the sewing machine to demonstrate it to them. I saw that she lightly stepped on it with her feet a few times, folded the cloth and put it on the floor. Make two turns under the sewing needle and a pocket is done.
The women picked up this cloth bag and scrambled to pass it on. Their countrymen's needlework was just a piece of work, and no one had ever learned this. The advantages of the sewing machine were reflected. A young daughter-in-law said in surprise: "This machine It's easy to use. Look at how fine the stitches are. It sews better than the most powerful daughter-in-law in our village. Aunt Feng, you and your daughter-in-law will enjoy happiness in the future, and you will no longer have to mend the seams."
Madam Feng covered her mouth and pretended to be modest and said, "It's alright, no matter how good the machine is, people need to watch it."
Standing outside the crowd, Su Wan couldn't help laughing when she heard her mother-in-law's words. There were too many people in the room and she didn't want to crowd with them, so she walked out with Mengmeng in her arms.
Mengmeng was hugged by her mother, with a chocolate candy ball in her mouth, her cheeks bulged when she ate it, Su Wan touched her round belly and said, "What did you eat with your grandparents at noon? ?"
"Soda hehe." Mengmeng remembered the sweet taste of the orange soda, and there was a cute smile on her face.
Su Wan sweetened her cheeks and said, "Is the provincial capital fun? What have you seen?"
Mengmeng recalled it hard, and said with a big gesture: "A lot of people, cars, horses, baa baa."
When she was talking about baa, she pointed with her little hand to the two lambs in the yard. They were still in the basket. When Huzi saw it, he approached and smelled it, and the two lambs were shocked. , stood there and pulled up the feta.
Xiaojin dumped the chicks and ducklings out of the carton long ago. He thought they were toys for him, so he grabbed them excitedly, squeezed them, and let them go. He stretched out his claws and pushed them all down to the ground. One of the chicks ran faster and hid under Xiaojin's stomach. Xiaojin angrily pulled it out. Very shameless, flapping its wings and flying away, it doesn't play with these little things anymore.
Seeing Xiao Jinfei leave, Su Wan put Mengmeng on the ground and said, "Go to the kitchen with Mom to get something for them to eat."
The people in the room were still clamoring. They touched the bicycles and sewing machines from top to bottom. They were overwhelmed, but they still refused to leave. One or two surrounded the main room of the old Feng's house.
A villager gave Old Man Feng a thumbs-up and said what he was most concerned about: "Old village chief, you are always the one to get ahead in our village. The first to buy the four major items and I have never seen anyone more than you. Do you have any good ways to make money? Give us a few introductions."
The villagers are not stupid. They all have a scale in their hearts. Anyone with eyes can see how much the old Feng's additional items are worth. The prices of radios, sewing machines, bicycles, and watches are all There are numbers, and you can figure them out with a little calculation. The old Feng family also bought two bicycles, and everyone still wears a watch, even the second and third of the separated family, not counting the American machines. One or two thousand dollars.
What is the concept of one or two thousand dollars? Most of their families have to eat or drink for four or five years before they can get it, and the old Feng family can pay out the money casually. They are all people who know the bottom line. Everyone is facing the loss and turning their backs to the sky, why is the old Feng family so rich? Where did this money come from? There is definitely a way that they don't know. If they know, maybe they can afford the four major items and live a good life. Thinking of this, the villagers are even breathing heavily.
Another villager nodded desperately and said, "Yes, old village chief, we have always listened to your words the most, and you will let us get the hang of it."
The people next to him are all helping: "Old village chief, just tell us, we will never forget your goodness."
Old Man Feng narrowed his eyes and looked around among the villagers, and he took all their reactions into account. There's a good old saying, teach people to walk not to teach people how to eat. Of course, if they want to eat they must do this with their own ability. However, Old Man Feng only worries that if he teaches them how to become self -employed, and all the people in the village go to the south to become self-employed, will he still make money? Old man Feng knew in his heart that the reason why the goods in the south were so valuable was because they were rare. If everyone sold them, they would definitely not be able to sell for a price. No, he couldn't tell them even if he was killed.
Old Man Feng said with sloppy eyes: "Your aunt and I have saved so much money in our whole life. If we don't take it out and enjoy it, we won't be reconciled when we get to the ground. It's not all said outside, there must be four big things. A piece can be like a home, we just gritted our teeth and bought it, alas, this is how he is when he is old, while he can still move now, he can toss as much as he can."
None of the villagers believed him and one of them curled his lips and said, "Uncle, what you said is not sincere. Who doesn't know that you are very capable. We are all from the village. We should take care of each other, don't you think so?"
Old man Feng stared at him with hanging eyes, and said indifferently, "Er Gouzi, why do I remember that you have a recipe for bait at home? Every time you go fishing in the village, you are the one who catches the most. Why don't you tell us this recipe for us to get more fish too?"
Ergouzi shook his head without thinking about it and said, "How can I tell you? That's the recipe my ancestors handed down to us. If I told you, what kind of fish will I catch in the future?"
Old man Feng spread out his hands and said, "Isn't that right? You know the truth, you kid, you still use it to mock me? I said why are you a thief? '' Your uncle's words, don't say that I don't have a way to make money, even if I have, I can't tell you?"
The villagers all know that the old man Feng refuses to tell the truth, and they can't do anything about him. Who are they kidding? If their family has this kind of access, they will be more tightly guarded than anyone else. They live in the same village anyway. They will keep their eyes open and pay more attention in the future, just observe and observe more.
Mrs. Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These people are finally gone, old man, isn't our family a little too conspicuous?"
Old man Feng said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? We don't steal or rob, so why can't we use the money we earn? Not only do I use it, but I also use it in an open and aboveboard way."
Madam Feng was not as relaxed as he was, she frowned and said, "When our commissary opens, even if we don't tell them, they will all know."
Old Man Feng leaned over his chair and said mysteriously, "What are you worried about? Even if they want to go to the south to become self-employed, they must have the capital. Old Shishi's family is good in our village, right? Let me tell you, If it wasn't for the fact that their family Guangming made a thousand yuan last time selling electronic watches, their family couldn't come up with a few hundred yuan. This kind of money can't be turned out in the south. If everyone has the courage to do it, I will I have to admire them. When the time comes, I will buy more than 10,000 yuan and sell it to them as a second-order dealer. Hehe, I can easily make money for it."
Madam Feng's eyes widened and she didn't recognize him anymore, "Hey, old man, why have you suddenly become so smart? Your ancestors have been farming for hundreds of their lives, so how did I come to you? When it comes to business, it's a mystery. Where did you learn it from?"
Old Man Feng straightened his chest and said very proudly: "Can I be the village chief if I'm not smart? I've come to the south this time. I understand that people with poor brains can't make money. If you want to make money, you have to Be more active in your brain. If you don't talk about reform and opening up, what kind of life did we live in the past? Today's life is much better than before, and it's not just a change of words. I guess the people above are also active in mind. We ordinary people also have to be a little smarter, the good days are not far away."
Chen Hongmei returned home from her uncle's house, her eyes were so red that she was about to bleed. Okay, I bought all four items. One bicycle is already expensive and they bought two of them. And it will still belong to the First Brother in Law's home, why don't they also send a car to her home? And that sewing machine, she would rather not have a watch and just have that sewing machine. Apart from being able to use the watch to check the time, it can only show off. But It is so convenient to have a sewing machine. She has seen it just now, and she only needs to Step on her feet a few times, and a piece of clothing is ready in a blink of an eye. She is clumsy and can't make clothes well. She should be the one who needs the sewing machine the most. Knowing that she was partial to her sister-in-law, she was going crazy with jealousy, and her eyes were full of the sewing machine and the bicycle.
Chen Hongmei held it back for a day, and before she went to bed at night, she said to her man in a good voice, "Didn't your eldest brother say that the harvest was not good last time? Look at the rare items their family bought, there must be more. Others come to Qian Luzi, you are the closest and dearest brothers, they can hide it from others, but they will not hide it from your own brother, right?"
Feng Laosan turned around and looked at her fixedly, this woman …
"Why are you looking at me like this? I don't mean anything else, I just think that Wuwa and Liuwa are getting older, and I have to save some money for them to marry a daughter-in-law. Don't you know, now everyone outside is asking for four items. Except for a few watches, we don't have anything that can be obtained. How can a daughter be willing to marry in a family like ours? This is a big thing to pass on incense. Well, you can ask our parents and our mothers when you have a chance, if there is really any good way to make money, our family will do it together even if they break the pot and sell iron."
Since she and her man have a quarrel, Chen Hongmei has learned to be good. She doesn't say those harsh words anymore. She has to put a layer of beautiful candy on the outside of these words, so that her stubborn donkey will listen to her. With a gesture of "It's all for your own good", she said softly with a choked voice: "What I said is the truth, I'm really worrying about our son's future."
Feng Laosan felt a little relieved. Sure enough, his daughter-in-law couldn't get used to it. After beating her, she finally learned how to talk. In his opinion, raising a son and having a grandson is the most important thing, and he must not let his two sons live poorly in the future. As a bachelor, he also made a little money from entertaining tourists a few days ago, but it is not enough to marry a daughter-in-law. It is time to make more money. He promised: "Well, I will go over and ask another day."
The next day, the old Feng family had breakfast, and Feng Yimin was about to go to work when Feng Yimin stopped him and said, "I'll go with you to the brigade, I want the wasteland in front of the primary school, old lady, hurry up and take it. I brought our family's hukou book, and I want to record it in Mengmeng's name."
Feng Yimin didn't expect his dad to suddenly tell him this. He didn't know it before, so he hesitated and said, "Dad, this..."
"Why? Do you have an opinion?" Old Man Feng's eyes widened immediately.
Feng Yimin quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, why should I have an opinion? Mengmeng is too young, do you need to give it to her now?"
Old man Feng patted the table and said very firmly: "What I want is now, my shop is built for Mengmeng, and all the money I make will go to her. I want her to be pampered. But then again, after the brothers and sisters grow up, they will eventually have to start a family. If there is a sister-in-law in this family, the difference will be big. Wait for your mother and I to shut up. Look, who does this property belong to? It's a mess, I said Yimin, you can't give me a crooked ass."
Feng Yimin was wronged to death, and anxiously defended himself: "Dad, what are you talking about? How did I become such a person? Mengmeng is my own daughter, and I also love her more than you. Why would I let her suffer a little bit of grievance? What you said really makes sense. The brothers and sisters have to settle accounts clearly, so I'll go and give Mengmeng that piece of land to take it down."
Old man Feng finally found the eldest son a little more pleasing to the eye, "That's right, just put it under Mengmeng's name, and no one will be able to take it away in the future. Mengmeng, grandpa will take you to buy land."
The three came to the brigade, and Feng Yimin drew twice according to the account book of the wasteland. Old man Feng took out the money to pay a land transfer fee, and the land was in Mengmeng's hands. He took the land he just wrote. Seeing the proof, he smiled and showed it to Mengmeng: "Look, this is your own land, and the shop above it will also be yours in the future."
Mengmeng leaned closer and took a closer look, her big eyes were full of ignorance.
Old man Feng fondly touched her little head and said, "You don't understand, right? It doesn't matter. After you go to school and learn how to read, you will be able to understand it. Grandpa will help you put it away first."
Miao Lihua sat by the side and watched the whole process, and couldn't help saying with emotion, "Uncle, I have never seen anyone who loves their granddaughter more than you."
Old Man Feng picked up Mengmeng and said, "That's right, Mengmeng is the baby of our old Feng family, the baby we've been waiting for in a hundred years, dear baby, what do you think?"
Mengmeng smiled very happily, "Kakakaka, love grandpa."
The old man Feng was even more proud, "Haha, you said that this girl is so annoying? You treat her well, and she also knows how to treat you, Mengmeng, this is your cousin, please call her."
Mengmeng glanced at Miao Lihua and called her sweetly, "Auntie."
"Hey, She's so cute. Our family's Mengmeng has a sweet mouth. I'll come to my cousin's house to play another day. Your cousin's house is in the alley in front of the village. You have been there before, do you remember?"
Mengmeng nodded her head and said, "I know."
Miao Lihua touched the braid on the top of her head, and by the way, she asked old man Feng to hear: "Uncle, according to what you said, your family is going to open a small shop? What would you like to sell in it?"
Old man Feng didn't even tell his second child, so why would he tell her? He just smiled and said perfunctorily: "I haven't thought about it yet. When the house is built, isn't there a primary school next to it? I just thought that it would be okay to sell some snacks. You guys are busy, I will bring Mengmeng to go back first."
When the grandparents and grandchildren returned home, Old Man Feng took out the piece of paper and handed it to Old Madam Feng, saying, "Here, one acre and four quarters of land, you have seen that land before. There is the beach in front, the coconut grove in the back. Next to it is the primary school and the brigade. You can hide this certificate."
Madam Feng carefully folded the certificate, nodded and said, "This place is quite nice. How much did it cost to buy this piece of land?"
The old man Feng explained a few more words: "The land is half soil and half sand, and I only paid 80 yuan to get it. Madam, while I'm still at home, we must hurry up and build the house."
If someone is gonna build a house in the village, everybody will help build it. The house builders only need to take care of the meals. In fact, it doesn't cost much. Madam Feng hides the proof and then decides. : "That's it, you can go to them later and tell them, we will choose a good day to build the house."
Old man Feng walked out of the door. His family was going to build a house. Of course, the first thing that came to his mind was his own family. He came to the next door and greeted the second and third, asking them to help when the time came. Then he started talking: "Dad is really generous this time, and he has to build a house for Mengmeng. She is such a small girl, if they build it for Dawa & Erwa it can be justified. Feng Laosan, you say is your father confused?"
