Yang Dongxu, who had bad ideas, was naturally slapped on the back of the head by Yang's father. His little brother finally got better under the discipline of his younger siblings. It's strange that Yang Dongxu actually encouraged him to lie and hide his personal money, and even said in front of Yang's father that he wouldn't be beaten.
With 1,000 yuan in her pocket and something in her hand, she was escorted out of the door by Father and Mother Yang with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"How much money have you made? My elder brother's family gave me 1,000. Why do you want so much?" Except that the Yang family hadn't gone very far when they looked back and saw that their brother and sister-in-law had returned to the house. The aunt couldn't help but ask.
"More than three thousand three hundred, Xuzi calculated the round number of 3,400. Brother and Xuzi wanted to give me 1,400 because they didn't want money. I could ask for that much, so I said I would give 400. But neither brother nor Xuzi agreed. In the end, after talking for a long time, he gave me 1,000 yuan and said that all his relatives would eat at his house this year."
"That's too much. We can't always take advantage of the elder brother's family." The aunt felt that her husband was still a little greedy.
After she got married, she found out that her eldest brother's family also paid for her new house, and that her eldest brother's family had not treated her badly in the past few years since she got married. Not to mention that her family had a share of the gifts that Asahi brought back every year. She was always embarrassed to give something or buy something without charging money, not to mention having to wipe her husband's butt from time to time.
For example, some time ago, when I joined the army and beat someone after drinking too much, my sister-in-law's family made a lot of amends and even went to apologize to the person in person. To be honest, if my eldest brother and his family weren't here to save face, who would other people know about my husband's bastard temperament? Do you believe that when a drunk man hits someone, he won't stop even if he makes an apology?
"I know this, but didn't I refuse it at the time? I'll wait until I'm done with my life before I can help my elder brother's family." After getting married, although my temper was still a bit messy, I was a father after all, so joining the army made me more mature. .
I know that my eldest brother's family has nothing to say to him, who is really his brother. Take for example the time before Yang Dongxu went to Yanjing to go to school. At that time, his eldest brother's family was really poor, but when he encountered trouble, he didn't say anything at all. Help first.
In the past, I felt that this was nothing. I felt that my elder brother should help me. My mother told me that my eldest brother and sister-in-law pampered me, and he felt very happy. From time to time, he wanted to cause trouble to his eldest brother's family. Looking back now, I was really fucked at that time.
"This is the only way." Although I feel that the hope of my husband's plan to succeed is a bit slim, my eldest brother's family has no worries about food and clothing, and I don't know where to help if I want to.
"Do you think it's better for us to build a breeding farm or a greenhouse vegetable?" At this time, Joining the Army couldn't help but think of what he had been thinking about in the past few days.
"If my eldest brother's family has a breeding farm, let's get greenhouse vegetables." The aunt thought for a moment and said.
She still knows that colleagues are enemies. The idea was Asahi's. Since it was a family that helped their family, he couldn't also start a breeding farm to compete with his elder brother for business, right?
"But Xuzi just said on the table that our family should also have a pig farm."
"Why?" the aunt asked puzzledly.
"He said that making greenhouse vegetables is not as profitable as running a pig farm. If there are people in the village who can make greenhouse vegetables, we can make them for them. This is the only way we can make more money by raising pigs."
"Since Xuzi said so, let's build a pig farm, but just raise pigs, okay?" The aunt was a little worried.
"Xu Zi said it's okay. Now that people in the city have improved their lives, pork is easy to sell. As long as you can raise it, you don't have to worry about selling it."
"Don't worry about selling." The aunt wrapped the clothes around the child. The night wind was still quite cold.
"But it takes a lot of money to build a pig farm. If we grow vegetables in greenhouses, our family can pool together the money and borrow more from my mother. We can barely make up the money by borrowing from relatives and friends. It’s a bit different.”
"How much does it cost to start a pig farm?" I have no idea about the pig farm. Although the family also raises pigs and buys piglets, the money is quite a lot, but in the past few years, the family has accumulated a small amount of savings. After all, the fields are cultivated. Not to mention, he also has a shop in Jishang.
And from time to time, the eldest brother’s family would be called to join the army, pull fertilizers and seeds before the busy farming season, and go around buying and selling New Year’s goods at the end of the year, etc. Her family has also saved tens of thousands of yuan in the past few years. Such a sum of money is definitely considered a wealthy person in the countryside. of large households. So even if she started a pig farm, she never thought about the problem of insufficient money.
"Xu Zi said that a pig farm requires at least 200,000 yuan."
"So many!" The aunt's voice changed for a moment.
"This is just a preliminary estimate. Xuzi said that if you want to raise a pig, you need to make it bigger, not to mention a thousand, but at least a few hundred pigs. It will cost a lot of money to build a factory in the first year, and you have to buy piglets. Ask experts to do some scientific management. In short, the 200,000 yuan is just the initial amount, and there will be a lot of money later."
"How much will it cost in the end?" My aunt's heart began to beat when she heard that 200,000 yuan seemed to be just money to build a pig farm. One hundred thousand yuan, how much money did their family need to save to save so much money.
"Xu Zi didn't say. He said he hadn't done anything yet and didn't know how much it would cost. We'd have to consult experts to find out, but it's certain that the base would be around 300,000."
"Then...then...then our family should get greenhouse vegetables. That doesn't cost 200,000 yuan, right?" The aunt started to get a little confused when she spoke.
"That's 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. I just said that I want to borrow a larger amount. If it's a smaller amount, our family's money will be enough."
"That's good. Let's make greenhouse vegetables and make them smaller. We won't borrow money." My aunt breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she had enough money to make greenhouse vegetables.
"But Xuzi said that our family would start a pig farm."
"How can our family have so much money?" The aunt glanced at her husband, feeling that her husband had drank too much and was confused again today.
"Xu...Xu Zi said that we don't need to pay for it. It just so happens that his family is also building a pig farm. After choosing the site, they will build it together. He will pay all the money and wait until he makes money. If he doesn't make money, he will lose. If so, he won’t want the money.”
"Are you drinking too much?" The aunt felt that her husband had indeed drunk too much.
"When I heard this, I also felt that I had drunk too much. My eldest brother slapped Asahi a few times and said he was bragging. But from the look of Asahi, he didn't seem to be bragging."
"Really? Didn't Xuzi go to school in Yanjing? He got so much money?" The aunt felt that her husband must have been hearing hallucinations after drinking too much.
Joining the army was stunned for a moment, recalling the scene just now, sucked Yahuazi and said, "Since Xuzi said this, it should be true."
"How is it possible? One family has 300,000 yuan, two families have 600,000 yuan, and he opened a bank in Yanjing?" The aunt felt that her brain was a little insufficient, and her heart was beating uncontrollably.
"You have never been to Yanjing and you don't know that Zhou Ya, whom Xu Zi calls sister, is a capable person. She probably opened the restaurant where we went to eat, and the chef Xu Zi worshiped is also not simple. You are I didn’t see that their courtyard is much grander than our market.”
"I'm just bragging. How can there be such a big courtyard? Do you think it's a palace?"
"I'm not bragging. Really, I was dizzy at the time. And I was right next to my sister-in-law when she called Asahi a few times. The person who answered the phone was probably a servant. They could use servants just like the wealthy families used to do. Can this identity be simple?"
"How do you know it's a servant, or maybe a neighbor who comes to visit us?" Think about Xuzi, who always has a smile on his face and plays with the boys in the village, and then think about the huge sum of 600,000 yuan. My aunt almost suffocated.
"What is it if you are not a servant if you call me Master or something like that? In the beginning, you called me Master Xuzi. Later, Xuzi probably asked them to change it, so you didn't call me Master when you answered the phone."
"Master? Is this really a wealthy family? Will something happen to Xuzi?" A look of horror appeared on the aunt's face. He had already remembered things during the chaotic era.
"How could something happen? Xuzi is such a smart person? He was the one who instigated the eldest brother's family business from the very beginning?"
"Didn't you say that my eldest brother's family had been doing business a long time ago? How old was Xuzi at that time?" The aunt looked unbelieving, feeling that her husband's bragging was becoming more and more mysterious.
"I'm really not bragging about this. My eldest brother's business was selling fish from the Locust River in front of us. It was Xuzi and a few kids who made a hole in the ice for fishing in the winter.
At that time, his godfather, Mr. Zhou, was also in the village, and Mr. Zhou's student, who was the top leader in our city in the past few years, always came to our village, and then the business started. "
"That should be Mr. Zhou's attention, right?"
"This..." Joining the Army didn't know how to explain it for a while. In short, he felt that his nephew was not simple. He was responsible for many things, but his age was indeed a problem. At the same time, these were just his feelings and guesses. There is no way to provide evidence to explain.
So in the end he could only say: "Anyway, Xuzi is not simple. Do you still remember the watch Xuzi gave me?"
"Remember, isn't it the watch that I didn't like at first because it didn't look as stylish as old Shanghai and the strap was cowhide or some other kind of leather?" My aunt looked at Junjun strangely.
"That watch still costs more than 3,000 yuan a piece."
"How much?" The aunt suddenly changed her tone again.
"Three...more than three thousand, isn't Yinshan building houses for people in Guangdong? He said that he once followed a local boss to a high-rise building to get something, and the boss was wearing a watch. It’s the same as mine, with the same English letters, and the boss said he bought his watch for more than 3,000 yuan.”
"They can't be the same, right? How could it be more than three thousand? Didn't Asahi say it was more than a hundred?"
"Do you believe this? Xuzi also said that the carload of new year's goods plus these gifts for us only cost 2,000 yuan. As for my sister-in-law, if she believes her son, it costs 2,000 yuan. I don't think she can afford it with 20,000 yuan. .
The last time I went to your parents' house, it's not like you didn't notice the envious looks on your sisters' faces when they looked at your clothes, even though they didn't say it. But those sisters of yours all have their nostrils turned upward. When they meet, they either talk about how much they spend on shoes or how much they spend on clothes. After looking at your clothes, did they ever say anything about your clothes and shoes? "
"It seems to be true." My aunt also remembered it at this time.
In order to earn face when she went to her parents' home to give gifts, she began to wear the gifts Yang Dongxu gave her from head to toe. One day, several of my sisters curled their lips in disbelief at first, but then they touched their clothes and asked them to take them off to try on them. They never said anything about clothes and shoes again. One day, they even saw Joining the Army and her The eyes are a little weird.
