August 4, 2022 is the Qixi Festival of the lunar calendar.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Feng drove his newly purchased mobility scooter back to the village.

Although it is common for young people in the village to buy cars in this era, when every young man drives his car back, he inevitably attracts attention from his neighbors.

Jiang Feng was no exception. The moment he drove his new car back to the village, he became the most handsome boy in the village.

For Jiang Feng, a car worth less than 100,000 yuan is just for transportation. He is ashamed to even mention the brand name, so he is naturally embarrassed to face the compliments of his neighbors.

But for Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, this was a rare highlight moment in their lives, so the couple were very active in chatting with the neighbors and enjoying the compliments they gave their little son.

After the neighbors gradually dispersed, Jiang's mother said with some lingering thoughts: "Xiao Feng, it's been almost a month since you graduated from college and you haven't visited your grandma yet. Anyway, it's convenient now that we have a car. How about we

Are you leaving now to see your grandma?"

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "It's really time to go see grandma. What do you think, Dad?"

Jiang's father said: "Anyway, there is nothing to do now. If you want to go, just go!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Okay, Mom, go and get a bottle of Moutai for your uncle, the most expensive one, and two boxes of good tea. You can take the other gifts as you like. As for the cigarettes, forget about them, leave them for Dad and brother to smoke."

Bar!"

Jiang's mother responded with a smile on her face: "Okay, it's up to you. I'll call your brother-in-law first."

Seeing Jiang's mother calling with a happy face, Jiang's father couldn't help but sigh: "I have wronged your mother all these years!"

Jiang Feng understood what his father meant. His mother, Zhang Mei, had four siblings in total, her elder sister Zhang Qin, her younger brother Zhang Qiang, and her younger sister Zhang Zhen. Compared with her older sisters and younger sisters, Zhang Mei was the worst married.

However, Jiang Feng's aunt was a bit snobbish and failed to hold a bowl of water flat when treating her three sisters-in-law, which made Zhang Mei secretly hold her breath.

It wasn't until Jiang Feng was admitted to a prestigious university four years ago that his aunt paid more attention to their family. After all, a famous university student still has some weight in the countryside.

Now that their family has even bought a "car", their mother, Zhang Mei, wants to go back to her parents' home and feel proud. This thought is probably shared by every married woman.

Soon, Jiang's mother packed up the gifts to take home. In addition to a bottle of Maotai liquor worth more than 3,000 yuan and two boxes of valuable tea, which Jiang Feng said, she also brought a lot of valuable dried seafood.

After getting in the car and sitting down, Jiang's mother said: "Xiao Feng, remember to stop and buy some fruit when you get to town later. This gift feels a little less interesting without fruit."

Jiang Feng responded with a smile: "Okay, I understand!"

Jiang's father sat in the back seat, stretched his hands here and touched there, and said in a loud voice: "This car feels good. I was lucky enough to ride in a car thirty years ago. It is said that the car was imported and had a name like

It was called Jetta, and I still clearly remember the price of more than 200,000 yuan.

But even those cars that cost more than 200,000 yuan back then don’t feel as beautiful as yours!”

While starting the car, Jiang Feng said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Dad, this is the difference of the times. There is no comparison. The technology of thirty years ago is definitely not comparable to that of today."

Father Jiang smiled and said: "That's true. In those days, with a motorcycle, in the words of you young people, he was already the most handsome boy in the village, let alone a car!"

Jiang's mother asked: "Did you ride in a car worth more than 200,000 yuan thirty years ago? Why have I never heard you talk about this?"

Jiang's father said: "That is the car of a relative of a high school classmate of mine. I was just lucky enough to ride with him once. What's there to say?"

Jiang Feng interjected: "In those days, it was not easy to afford a car worth more than 200,000 yuan. At that time, 10,000 yuan was equivalent to about 200,000 yuan today, and more than 200,000 yuan was equivalent to more than 4 million yuan today. Think about it.

Nowadays, among the people who are qualified to drive a car worth more than 4 million yuan, except for the driver, who is not a billionaire or a family member of a billionaire?"

Jiang's father said: "My classmate's relative was really good at that time and owned his own factory. Unfortunately, due to poor management, he could not keep up with the development trend of the times and went bankrupt within a few years."

When Jiang Feng heard this, he suddenly realized that those who could really develop in that era were all famous bosses, and the others were just pigs standing in the wind. When the wind stopped, they would naturally fall to their death.

As he spoke, he soon arrived in the town. Jiang Feng stopped the car and bought two large bags of fresh fruit, then got in the car and went straight to Langsha Town, where his grandma's house was located.

Langsha Town is also a township under the jurisdiction of Bailiang County, about thirty or forty kilometers away from Qinghe Town. Thanks to the "road policy connecting every village", transportation is much more convenient than before.

More than half an hour later, Jiang Feng's family of three drove to his grandmother's house.

Because Jiang's mother called in advance, when Jiang Feng and the others arrived, his uncle had already killed the chicken and was cooking it in a big iron pot, while grandma was sitting in front of the earthen stove to help light the fire.

This is not because my brother-in-law's family is too poor to use gas, but because he is good at cooking. He feels that the taste of food cooked with gas is not as good as that cooked with firewood.

Therefore, my brother-in-law's family now uses both gas and firewood. When cooking home-cooked dishes such as stir-fried pork, vegetables, and tofu, gas is basically used because it is too troublesome to burn firewood.

Only when frying hard dishes such as chicken, duck, beef and sheep, or when relatives and friends come over to visit, my uncle will use the big iron pot on the home earthen stove and use firewood to cook the most delicious dishes.

"Grandma, uncle!" Jiang Feng greeted as soon as he entered the door.

"Mom!" Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also greeted him.

"Xiao Feng is here!" Grandma came up to her with a smile on her face and complained: "Come as you please, why did you buy so many things?"

Jiang Feng put the fruit in his hand on the table next to him, then grabbed his grandma's hand and said, "I didn't buy much. Grandma, how are you doing recently?"

Grandma smiled happily and said: "Okay, grandma is in very good health and can still eat two big bowls of rice in one meal!"

On the other side, seeing the gifts carried by the second sister's family, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but be surprised: "Second sister, what's going on with you? Why did you buy so many things? Oh my god, you even bought Maotai. Second sister, you

Is this making you rich?"

Seeing the surprised look in her brother's eyes, Zhang Mei handed him the Maotai wine and tea in her hand, and said with a satisfied smile: "How can I get rich? These are all gifts from others."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mei couldn't help but ask: "Where is your wife?"

Zhang Qiang took the gift and said, "She went to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables and should be back soon!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the door. He didn't see his wife, but saw a car parked in front of his house. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and said: "Second sister, did you drive here by yourself? This car has license plates.

It hasn’t been installed yet, could it be that you bought it new?”

Zhang Mei nodded with a smile and said, "This is the new car Xiaofeng bought!"
