Chapter 11: Cousins Don't Give Face
In winter, it gets dark early, it's not yet six o'clock, and it's already dark.
The Mingyue Building was full of people, Shen Hui ran in and out, beckoning the relatives who came one after another to take their seats, Shen Tao and Shen Lu were also busy, and Shen Liguo and Zhang Jinhua were talking with the relatives who arrived first.
When the children are older, they naturally don't have to deal with this kind of thing anymore.
After waiting for half an hour, the relatives all came.
Three aunts, two uncles, and the uncle and second uncle on the second grandfather's side, the elders all came, cousins, cousins, cousins, cousins and cousins in the county town also came, and the eldest cousin of the eldest aunt's family, Su Yonglin, and the second cousin of the second aunt's family, Zheng Hongjun, did not come, the eldest aunt and the second aunt did not say anything, and the Shen Hui family naturally couldn't say anything.
To Shen Hui's surprise, Liu Gang, the cousin-in-law of the aunt's family, arrived.
If you want to say that the relatives are good, in addition to the second uncle Shen Lixiao and the second uncle Shen Limin, they also belong to the cousin-in-law Liu Gang, who has a clear business door and has earned a lot of family property, and the shop under his name alone is worth at least twenty or thirty million, and he has no foreign debts, and his net worth is much more solid than that of the second uncle and the second uncle who do the project, and he also has a lot of face in QH County.
It is said that businessmen are the best at being people, and there is indeed some truth.
For example, this time, Shen Hui has not come back for more than two years, and it is rare to go back to his hometown and invite his relatives to have a meal, but the eldest cousin and the second cousin don't want to come, so they just find an excuse to push it, but Liu Gang is very face-saving.
It seems that Liu Gang has never been absent from the table on this occasion, as long as the relatives call, no matter how busy they are, they will come, and they will invite them back when they have time, so when the relatives mention Liu Gang, it is really all kinds of good words, and they do not hesitate to appreciate.
Nearly 40 people sat in two large boxes of 20 people.
The wine and food are delivered like water, all of which are hard dishes, and the meat dishes are all served in large pots.
Third Uncle Shen Liwei glanced at it and asked, "How much is this table of dishes?"
Shen Hui said: "2800 standard package. ”
"Hey, it's so expensive. ”
The three aunts were a little distressed about the money and complained: "Just eat a little, why do you want to be so expensive." ”
Shen Liguo and Zhang Jinhua were also taken aback, but they didn't know that Shen Hui ordered such an expensive dish, one table was 2,800, and the two tables were not 5,600, not counting the wine and cigarettes, and it was not more than 6,000 to eat in one meal.
It's okay to invite relatives to a meal, but it's a problem to spend so much.
Shen Limin said: "It's all my own family, how can I eat so much, I invite you to this meal today." ”
Zhang Jinhua was distressed to death, but she couldn't lose face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the flowers are spent, we haven't invited guests, let you invite, just when Shen Hui comes back this year, let him and Shen Tao have a meal." ”
Everyone stopped talking anymore and greeted the meal one after another.
While eating and chatting, Shen Hui opened the wine and poured wine for everyone.
Pouring wine for his second uncle Zheng Zhiping, Zheng Zhiping suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Relatives, don't patronize for dinner, Shen Hui is only 27 years old this year, and he is still very young. ”
Shen Hui also smiled: "If you want this, my life's major events depend on my aunts and aunts." ”
The relatives all laughed along, and Shen Hui felt that he could speak.
The third aunt was the most outspoken, and said: "There is one in our village, the age is just right, only 24, still a college student, the girl is white and pure, I heard that I came back a while ago, I will ask first, and if there is no object, I will introduce it to Shen Hui." ”
"Sister, don't forget, be sure to ask. ”
Zhang Jinhua heard the spirit, it is a lifelong event related to her son, how can she not care.
The third uncle, Shen Liwei, took the wine glass and asked Shen Hui: "If the factory doesn't open next year, what are your plans?"
Shen Hui said: "Besides, let's take one step at a time!"
I don't say that I have resigned, so as not to be questioned for half a day.
Shen Liguo and Zhang Jinhua didn't say anything, and they always felt that not going to work to speculate in stocks was not a serious profession.
Full of wine and food, everyone didn't drink much, and left home on time at ten o'clock.
When he arrived downstairs, Shen Limin arranged for a car to be sent away, first asked a few nephews who had a car to drive the car over, first to send the aunts, and then asked Shen Chao to drive the car over, saying: "Your uncle and aunt are far away, Shen Chao will send them over." ”
Shen Liguo said: "No, we drove here." ”
Shen Limin asked, "Whose car is driving?"
Shen Liguo said: "Shen Hui bought a car. ”
Shen Limin was a little surprised: "When did you buy the car?"
Shen Hui said: "I just bought it yesterday. ”
Shen Limin asked again: "What kind of car did you buy?"
Shen Tao hurriedly said: "Envision, Buick's car." ”
The second aunt smiled and said, "Shen Hui can, let's buy a car." ”
Zhang Jinhua was modest on her lips, but she was really proud in her heart, and finally raised her eyebrows.
Relatives don't have a car at home, sometimes it's inconvenient to borrow someone else's car when they go out, and they always feel inferior, especially the day before yesterday, Shen Hui went to borrow the second uncle's car but didn't borrow it.
Now that Shen Hui has bought a car, her natural face as a mother also has light.
At least in the future, you don't have to borrow a car from someone and look at other people's faces.
Shen Limin looked at Shen Hui again, then nodded, got in the car and left.
The family then picked up the car and drove home.
Shen Hui and Shen Tao drank, and Shen Liguo was in charge of driving.
My mother was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "It's convenient to have a car, look at who dares to look down on people." ”
Shen Liguo frowned and said, "Okay, you are sick in your heart, who looks down on you." ”
Zhang Jinhua came to the point and said: "I still said no, just like the second family, how many strange things have been said behind my back, people can give the car to others, why didn't they give it to you, my brother?
Shen Liguo was silent, and he really lacked confidence.
Shen Hui's three siblings didn't say a word, so they pricked up their ears to listen to their mother's discrimination.
Zhang Jinhua chattered angrily for a while, and finally Shen Liguo couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at her a few words, Zhang Jinhua stopped, but when she thought of eating more than 6,000 yuan in one meal, her heart immediately began to hurt again.
"What do you say you order so expensive, just eat it, it's a waste to order so much. ”
Zhang Jinhua muttered, and scolded Shen Tao again: "You are not long-minded, you know all day long, you know that there are cars and cars, and there is no house, what do you want a car for? When the house sleeps, you have the ability to buy it yourself, why do you let your brother buy it? How much can you afford to eat, and in the future, you and your brother will become a family, can you still ask your brother if he wants to? It's really shameless and skinless." ”
Shen Tao shrunk his neck, and he didn't dare to fight his mother.
Shen Hui said: "Mom, don't talk about it, I will buy him a car at most, pay a down payment on a house, and repay the loan himself, and I can't control it when I get married in the future, he will spend as much as he earns." ”
Zhang Jinhua didn't say it anymore, in fact, she didn't have to distinguish it clearly, it was all the meat that fell from her body, the boss bought a car for the second child, and she was happy in her heart, but she was afraid that the second child would ask the boss to get used to it, and there would be problems in the future.
The next day was Saturday, and neither Tao Shen nor Shen Lu had to go to work.
Shen Hui called his younger siblings and his father and mother to go to see the house together.
The house is my mother's heart disease, if I don't buy the house as soon as possible, don't think about my mother to stop nagging.
The golden age of real estate has passed, although the price has not been reduced, but the vacancy rate of houses in small counties is generally high, especially in the newly opened real estate, at least half of the houses have not been sold, and the room for selection is relatively large.
After looking at several real estate projects, I was not too satisfied.
Buying a house is a big deal, and it's even more of a top priority for the average family.
Shen Hui's three brothers and sisters don't care, but my father and mother really look at it, this one is not very good, the bedroom is small, and the next one is that the bathroom has no windows, and the ventilation is not good, anyway, I can always find out a lot of faults.
watched it for two days in a row, and Shen Tao and Shen Lu's weekend passed like this.
The house has not yet been decided, but Shen Hui is already annoyed.
Continuing to look at the house on Monday, Shen Hui didn't go, let his father and mother go by himself, he was only responsible for paying the money.
Looking at it, I finally fell in love with the house of Tianhui Jiayuan.
Shen Hui went to take a look, the house in this community is really good, the house design is good, the location is also good, it is a high-end community in Qinghe, 3500 per square meter, about 500 more expensive than other communities, and the second and third uncle's houses are in this community.
"Four sets!"
Shen Hui opened his mouth to ask for four houses, but his mother was frightened and hurriedly stopped.
"What do you want so much!"
Zhang Jinhua said: "Two sets are enough, you and Shen Tao have one set, it's useless to have more." ”
"It's useless. ”
Shen Hui said: "You and my father have one set, Shen Lu also wants one set, even if it is the dowry I give, if you get married in the future, you won't be angry when you get married at your mother-in-law's house, you still have some confidence, you don't let me spend the money one day, and I don't have the money to buy it." ”
"You scumbag. ”
Zhang Jin slapped him angrily, but in the end, the last sentence was powerful.
Parents are most afraid that their children will lose, if Shen Hui really spends all the money, it is better to buy a house.
Four houses, two on the second floor and two on the third floor.
Three are 96 square meters of three-bedroom units, and one is 148 square meters of four-bedroom large units.
Every time I go home, I have to squeeze a bed with Shen Tao, Shen Hui is really enough, and the fourth room is very good.
paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan for each house, and made an appointment to pay the full amount after New Year's Day, and then Shen Hui went home with his father and mother.
When he went out, Shen Liguo asked, "Why wait until after New Year's Day?"
Shen Hui said: "I want more than one million, I have hundreds of thousands of pocket money in my hand, and the big money is in the stocks, and I can only take out the money after selling the stocks on New Year's Day." If you want me to say, now that it's cold and you can't decorate the house, it's best to hand over the house after the year. ”
Zhang Jinhua hurriedly said: "Buy early and rest assured, there is still a month left for the New Year!"
Shen Huixin said, if it weren't for the fear that the two of you would be unstable, what you said would be delayed until the next year.
Now I can't buy a house to live in, and I can't decorate it, which is a waste of money.
But for the peace of mind of my father and mother, this money will be spent when it is spent.
The principal of 8 million, and when it is over New Year's Day, it will be able to return at least more than 2 million, and the money for the house is enough.
On Wednesday, his cousin, Shen Qian, invited relatives to dinner.
As soon as Shen Hui's family arrived, they were immediately surrounded by a group of cousins.
I heard that Shen Hui had bought a car, so he waited downstairs.
Shen Hui coped with a few words, and went upstairs with his father and mother, Shen Tao could be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and introduced the performance parameters of the car to a few cousins and cousins.
Shen Feng, the lobby brother of the uncle's family, sat in the driver's seat, touching the steering wheel and couldn't put it down.
The four-wheel drive is top-of-the-line, and it is a new model that has just been launched, and it will be in the early 300,000s.
Although several companies have bought cars, except for the Prado, which Shen Lixiao and Shen Limin have bought in engineering, a few juniors have only bought a X-Trail at most, and the rest are more than 100,000 cars, which can't catch up with this four-wheel drive top Envision.
