It is worth mentioning that after Jintan Village received electricity, Xiang Nan bought a complete set of household appliances, including electric fans, televisions, and washing machines, for An Minjia and Li Laoshuan's family.
Refrigerators and air conditioners have not been purchased yet.
Firstly, there was nothing to eat at home, and there was nothing to put in the refrigerator. Secondly, the air conditioner consumed too much power, and the two of them were reluctant to use it.
Li Laoshuan found it too expensive for villagers to come to his house to watch TV, let alone use the air conditioner.
However, even so, the villagers were still envious and praised Xiang Nan as a good son and son-in-law.
The An family and the Li family always hold their heads high when they go out and walk, and they are extremely wealthy.
Even the people who proposed marriage to An Yongshou and An Yongkang have crossed the threshold.
After two more TV sets were added to the village, the spiritual life of the villagers was greatly enriched.
After dinner, it has become a tacit and tacit thing for the villagers to go to Tian Guomin's house and Li Laoshuan's house to watch TV.
Although Li Laoshuan didn't welcome this, he couldn't say anything since they were neighbors.
…
In October, Xiang Nan's villa was officially renovated.
Two months later, Xiang Nan and Shuihua officially moved into their new home.
After they moved in, the villagers came to visit out of curiosity.
As soon as I entered the house, I felt ashamed and had nowhere to go.
It turns out that the decoration in the house is really beautiful. The ground is covered with marble floors, which are smooth and bright; the walls are decorated with landscape calligraphy and paintings, which are antique.
Solid wood furniture, leather sofas, and a variety of household appliances. TV sets, video recorders, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, water purifiers, range hoods, microwave ovens, electric ovens... many of them were seen by the villagers for the first time. After hearing about their functions, they were all amazed.
"Yongfu'er, how much does this house, plus these appliances, cost?" Li Dayou asked curiously.
"About 150,000 to 60,000 yuan." Xiang Nan thought for a moment.
In fact, he kept it secret and said that the cost of building this house was only 200,000 yuan. Most of these electrical appliances are imported, and the central air conditioner alone is worth 50,000 yuan.
But to be honest, he was really afraid of scaring everyone, so he cut it in half.
Even so, the villagers were still shocked after hearing this.
Not to mention 150,000 or 60,000, they didn't even have 1,500.
"Oh, it's really too expensive."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to live in such a beautiful house in my lifetime."
"Don't say that, you won't be able to afford it in the next life~"
The villagers talked one after another that it was hard to stay at Xiang Nan's house. Every time I stayed for a while, I felt a prick in my heart.
…
After moving to a new home, winter has entered.
Xiang Nan began to lead the workers to prepare the fruit trees for the winter. Apply basal fertilizer early, irrigate before freezing, cover the ground, and paint the backbone white... In addition, the grapevines must be covered with soil to keep warm. In short, it's all a matter of course.
Fortunately, winter has come and the village has also entered the off-season. The villagers have nothing to do, so they all come to the orchard to help.
Xiang Nan solves the problem of labor shortage, and the villagers can also earn a little more pocket money, killing two birds with one stone.
…
In November, the work in the orchard was almost finished.
Xiang Nan immediately hid at home and worked on his creation with peace of mind.
In fact, he is very rich now, and royalties of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands are nothing to him.
However, Xiang Nan still has no intention of giving up writing.
The reason is that before the rise of the Internet, writers were the most powerful people to speak.
Not to mention how Lu Xun, Lao She, and Cao Yu used their works to inspire the morale of the people across the country during the Republic of China.
Even in the 1980s, Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" set off a trend of scar literature; Zhang Xianliang's "Half of a Man Is a Woman" led the whole society to explore the reality of human nature; Wang Meng's metaphorical "Hard Porridge" was even more popular. Directly touching the deep water area of reform...
If Xiang Nan did not continue writing, he would only be regarded as a rich man.
There are so many rich people in China. In recent years, a large number of people have become rich first.
However, there are not many people who have the right to speak.
And rich people who have no voice are very vulnerable.
In "Dajiang Dahe", Yang Xun is so rich that he arrests him whenever he wants. One speculative crime can make him drink a pot.
Xiang Nan knew this, so he would not give up writing.
He wants to use the pen in his hand to protect the money in his pocket.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large orchard and such a beautiful villa not to make people jealous.
…
Xiang Nan immediately began to write "The Country Is So Beautiful", which tells the story of immigrants from Diaozhuang.
However, the story was written from a hundred years ago.
Xiang Nan is preparing to write an epic-level masterpiece, covering the four periods of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the present.
We use the differences between old and new societies and people's destinies to praise the Diaozhuang immigration project and the national poverty alleviation project.
In order to write this book, Xiang Nan also referred to the county annals of Xihaigu, the historical research archives of Jiexia, and the stories passed down by the villagers orally.
After collecting all the information, he started writing.
At the same time, the An family, Li family, and Xiang Nan family also used heating for the first time.
Xiang Nan bought the heating, stove, and loose coal for the An and Li families. After turning on the heater in winter, the temperature in the house can reach 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, which is very warm.
Moreover, the stove can also make hot water and cook, so it can do many things with one stone.
In comparison, many villagers still live in underground houses, with temperatures in single digits. When you enter the house, you have to get on the kang and cover yourself with quilt, which can be said to be very difficult.
However, most of the villagers who have immigrated for a year and a half have already saved a sum of money and are thinking of building new houses in the coming spring. When the time comes, living in an adobe house with a fire kang will be better than living in a nest on the ground.
…
In addition to writing, Xiang Nan also invested 50 million in the stock market.
In May 1992, just after he sold his call warrants, the mainland's stock index reached its peak and then began to plummet. By November 1992, it dropped from the highest point of 1,500 points to 400 points.
Such a large drop finally cooled down the once booming stock market. The stock investors finally woke up, or were frightened, and cut their flesh to escape.
As a result, at the end of 1992, the turnover of the stock market dropped sharply, and the activity of the stock market also dropped sharply.
However, Xiang Nan knew that from November 17th to February 16th of the next year, there was actually an Indian summer.
The stock index will rise from 386 points to 1,558 points. Within three months, the increase will reach 300%.
So it's still profitable.
Therefore, Xiang Nan chose to continue investing and using money to make money.
…
December and January passed by day by day.
During the Spring Festival, the villagers watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV for the first time, and they were so happy that they could hardly open their mouths from ear to ear.
It has also strengthened the confidence of many people. In the new year, in addition to building a house, they must also save money to buy a TV. When the time comes, you can watch the Spring Festival Gala at your own home without having to go to other people’s homes to make people uncomfortable.
