Chapter One Hundred and Twenty One Come One After Another

Dongming, Mingzhi, Xinhua and others had just put down their things when they got home. Before the fire could be started, neighbors on both sides came to the door and exchanged a few greetings. Everyone asked with a burning look in their eyes, "How much money have you made in the past few months?"

Well, the villagers have always been very positive and open when asking questions about your income. For the same question, a few of them used to often ask the girls and boys who worked outside.

Now it was their turn, and then I felt a little uncomfortable? But of course I still said it, "It's only a thousand dollars!"

At that moment, the old man smoking a pipe did it, "That is to eliminate food and drink, and the round trip fare can earn more than 300 yuan a month, tsk!"

The people around them looked even more enthusiastic, and they didn't ask how big the provincial capital was or how tall the building was. In this way, they were ready to show off their topics, and they were all eager to focus on business.

Shortly after Feng Zhenchang put down his things, he was taken to dinner by Feng Zhicheng, who runs a processing workshop. As soon as he left, he came to ask him to have dinner in a constant stream. Some families simply asked them to go to dinner together. Mei Qiuping refused again and finally agreed to go to a few stores. After a day or two, the house was cleaned up before going.

Feng Yuxuan was unable to adapt to this enthusiasm for the moment and told her mother, "It's really different from before."

It was really different. During the Spring Festival before she went out to work, there were endless people coming from home, but they all had to pay. My parents put the dishes they could take out from home, and said in a lot of good words, now, they all turned over.

The second, third and fourth uncles all sent the pork left behind, which totaled fifty or sixty kilograms. Mei Qiuping was a little worried when she saw it. She only had a few days at home during the Chinese New Year and couldn't eat much. It seemed that most of them would be made into bacon.

"It's okay, isn't I still there? I like to eat meat, and I will take it to the village if I can't finish it." Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"Everyone went to my house for dinner with me. I knew that Dongming and you were back today, so I had already prepared the meal and waited." said the second uncle.

We are all family members, so there is no need to refuse. It is actually quite tiring to come back to receive this reception.

Feng Zhenchang came back very late and didn't come back at 11 o'clock. He was covered in alcohol and was staggering when walking. "I'm so late to come back, I still drink so much, have I never drunk alcohol?"

Feng Zhenchang was very happy, "Yiping and the others were asleep? After staying at Zhicheng's family for a while, they were called by other families. They went to three families in total at night."

Mei Qiuping was pumping water to wash his face, and then asked, "You didn't make any promises while you were drunk. The provincial capital said it was big, it wasn't big, it wasn't big. It wasn't just our county produced chestnuts, and there were many people going to other places. If everyone rushed over, who could make money? Then look at your old face coming back to see people."

"You can tell you these words," Feng Zhenchang covered his face with a hot towel. "Before we came back, we had a unified attitude, and we were all focused on our brothers first. Next year, at most, the family will take two families out. If you want to do this, you can go to the county and city. If you go to the province by yourself, don't blame us if you can't make money."

"I'm afraid that if you drink a few glasses of wine, and if someone else says a few good things, you will agree to it. Yiping said, "Drinke less. It's better to drink only three liang if you can drink half a pound. What about you, you can only drink three liang. That's not to drink half a pound?" Looking at Feng Zhenchang, who was flushed and smelly with alcohol, Mei Qiuping habitually started to talk.

In the next few days, it was fine in the morning. Feng Zhenchang had never had a meal at home for lunch and dinner, and Mei Qiuping had to go to several appointments. As for Feng Yiping, he didn't go to any of them, but he still ate at his own house.

In the past few days since he came back, there has not been a sunrise. He was lying on the edge of the brazier, flipping through "Money and Finance" and heard his sister who took her clothes to the pond in front to clear her mouth and was talking to someone, "Yuxuan, you are so amazing now. I heard that she has opened a shop in the provincial capital?"

"No, it's still being renovated. It's probably not open until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to open a store in the provincial capital?"

"Not much, about 30,000 or 40,000."

"Thirty or forty thousand is amazing, that's great, I guess I'll make more money, right?"

"It's not much. If you count the rent, water, electricity, and salary, you can't make a few thousand yuan a month on average."

Listening to her answer, Feng Yiping immediately stopped the work when he heard her mother busy in the main hall. When Feng Yuxuan carried a bucket of clean clothes into the door, Mei Qiuping went up and grabbed her ear, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Feng Yuxuan whispered while yelling. Mei Qiuping ignored her and pulled her to the innermost room to scold her, "How many times have you told you to come back and don't talk big, why don't you listen? What's 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and what can't make thousands of dollars a month?"

Feng Yuxuan shouted, "Isn't it 30,000 or 40,000 yuan? Can't I make a few thousand yuan a month? Where did I say big talk?"

"You have some reason, you have something to say, right? Why are you talking about this in front of others? You will be so proud of your tail after making a little money. Do you think you are Shen Wansan!"

It seemed that Mei Qiuping was hitting her with something, and Feng Yuxuan hid all over the room.

"Good lesson!" Feng Yiping said intently.

In a sense, there are two types of people in the village: those who like to show off and those who don’t like to show off.

Those who love to show off and say something big about sesame is to everyone that they are just ordinary workers in the factory, so they must irreplace themselves, as if the factory is gone, he will shut down. If he finally went to a small restaurant for dinner, he would hear what he said, and those who didn't know really thought he had eaten the Manchu and Han banquet.

If you ask him about his income, he will definitely say indifferently, "It's not much, but I am always a big deal. Even if I give me thousands of dollars a month, I can't keep much."

This is actually very sensible, but when others hear it, they will preconceive that he has really made a lot of money.

On the contrary, those who don’t like to show off will only tell people who are close to you that even if you make money, you must at least give it a half discount. Then you will say it to the outside world, for fear of irritating others.

If Feng Yiping's family is divided according to this, he and his mother don't like to show off. Feng Zhenchang is between the two and wanders around. Although Feng Yuxuan doesn't brag, she can at least fall into the bunch of people who love to show off.

Of course, there is nothing right or wrong with this, it’s just that people are different in dealing with things.

Next, many of the people who came to the door came to borrow money, not only the people in the village, but also many in the village. Most of them were for the tuition fees after the beginning of the year, and some were caused by problems at home, such as someone at home got sick and had a lot of debts, and was sad at the end of the year.

This is also a nerve-wracking matter, and for Feng Zhenchang and the others, it is also painful and happy.

Many families have similar situations to their family a year or two ago, and they all feel the same after hearing this. Even if the debts owed by the past are not filled with the holes left in the past, even if the families with children go out to work, the situation in just one or two years cannot fill the holes left in the past.

All agree, but if they are sold, they will not be enough, so they will refuse. Then, next, there may be many people who will poke their backs behind them.

Fortunately, they have reference standards, and they took out the book they used to borrow and the account they received when building a house as reference. They helped them before, but now they have asked for it, so of course they cannot refuse. Some of the ordinary friends politely refused, and they had to prepare for the opening of a new store after the Chinese New Year, and they really don’t have much money now.

Of course, it is not all rejected. As for those that are really difficult, I will help some as appropriate. Although it cannot solve the big problem, it is somewhat of a good idea.

Even so, nearly a thousand yuan was spent.
