Dongming, Mingzhi, and Xinhua had just put down their things when they got home, and before the fire was lit, the neighbors came to the door one after another, exchanged a few words, and everyone asked directly with burning eyes, "How much money have you made in the past few months?"

Well, the people in the village have always been very direct and above board when they ask about your income. The same question they used to ask to the girls and boys who were working outside the home.

Now that it's their turn, they feel a little uncomfortable, but of course they still roughly say, "It's just a thousand dollars!"

At that moment, there was an uncle who smoked a pipe and calculated, "That is, in addition to eating and drinking, the round-trip fare, you can earn more than 300 per month, tsk!"

The eyes of the people around were more enthusiastic, and they didn't ask how big the provincial city was or how high the building was, so that the topics they were ready to show off were all eagerly focused on business.

Feng Zhenchang He just put down his things, he was pulled to eat by Feng Zhicheng, who opened a processing workshop, just left, there was an endless stream of people who came to ask him to eat, some families simply asked the three of them to eat together, Mei Qiuping repeatedly refused, and finally should go down a few, wait for a day or two, and then go after the house is cleaned up.

Feng Yuxuan couldn't adapt to this enthusiasm for a while, and said to her mother, "It's really different from before." ”

It's really different, the Spring Festival before she went out to work, there was an endless stream of people at home at this time, but they all asked for accounts, and her parents did table after table of dishes that could be taken at home.

The second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle's family all sent pork that was specially left, adding up to fifty or sixty catties, Mei Qiuping was a little worried, the New Year was at home for just a few days, and she couldn't eat much, and it seemed that most of them were made into bacon.

"It's okay, isn't there still me, I like to eat meat, and I take everything I can't eat to the village. Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"Come with me to the house for dinner, knowing that Dongming will come back with you today, and he has already prepared the meal and is waiting. The second uncle said.

It's all a family, so there's no need to shirk, and it's actually quite tiring to come back for this reception.

Feng Zhenchang came back very late, he didn't come back until after eleven o'clock, he was full of alcohol, and he staggered a little when he walked, "Come back so late, and drink so much, haven't you ever drunk?"

Feng Zhenchang was very happy, "Yiping, they all slept, and they didn't stay at Zhicheng's house for a while, but they were called over by other families, and they went to three homes in total. ”

Mei Qiuping was fetching water to wash his face, and when she heard this, she asked, "You didn't take advantage of the strength of the wine to promise anything, the provincial city is said to be big and big, not big or big, and we are not the only county chestnut, there are many people in other places, if everyone swarms over, who can make money? ”

"These words are still instructed by you," Feng Zhenchang took a hot towel and covered his face, "Before coming back, we didn't all have a unified caliber, we all hugged our brothers first, and next year at most one family will take two families out, and if you want to do this, you can go to the county or 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 pour a few glasses of wine, others will say a few good words, and you will agree with one mouth. Yiping also said, drink less, it is best to drink only three taels if you can drink half a catty, what about you, you can only drink three taels, so don't you drink half a catty this time?" Looking at Feng Zhenchang, who was flushed and full of alcohol, Mei Qiuping habitually chattered.

In the next few days, the morning was fine, lunch and dinner, Feng Zhenchang had not eaten a meal at home, and Mei Qiuping had to go to several appointments, as for Feng Yiping, he didn't go anywhere, or ate at his own house.

In the past few days, there has not been a day when the sun has risen, he is lying on the edge of the brazier, flipping through "Monetary Finance", and heard his sister who took the clothes to the pond in front of him to clear the conversation with people, "Yuxuan, you are terrible now, I heard that you have also opened a store in the provincial capital?"

"No, it's still being renovated, and it is estimated that it won't open until the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

"I'm afraid it costs a lot of money to open a store in a provincial city, right?"

"It's not much, thirty or forty thousand. ”

"Thirty or forty thousand, that's a lot, then you must earn more, right?"

"It's not much, after removing rent, utilities, and wages, I can't earn thousands of dollars a month on average. ”

Listening to her answer, Feng Yiping heard that her mother, who was busy in the hall, immediately stopped what she was doing, and as soon as Feng Yuxuan entered the door with a bucket of clean clothes, Mei Qiuping went up and grabbed her ear, "Mom, Mom, what are you doing?"

Feng Yuxuan shouted while tilting her head sideways, Mei Qiuping ignored her, and pulled her to the innermost room to count, "How many times have I told you to come back and don't talk big, why don't you listen, what thirty or forty thousand, what can't you earn a few thousand a month?"

Feng Yuxuan exclaimed, "Isn't it thirty or forty thousand, can't you earn a few thousand a month?

"You still have a reason, you still have something to say, right, what are you saying in front of people?

It seems that Mei Qiuping is beating her again, and Feng Yuxuan is hiding all over the house.

"Good lesson!" Feng Yiping said.

In a sense, there are two kinds of people in the village, those who love to show off and those who don't.

Those who love to show off, a little sesame big thing, also say that he is just an ordinary worker in the factory, he must blow himself irreplaceable, as if the factory will be closed without him. If you finally go to a small restaurant for dinner, and listen to what he said, you don't know that you really think that he has eaten a full banquet of the Manchurians.

If you ask him about his income, he will not care and say, "It's not much, but I'm always a big spender, and I can't keep much even if I give me thousands of dollars a month." ”

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

Those who don't like to show off, on the contrary, will only say to those close to them when they have something to do, even if they make money, at least they have to make a discount, and then make a discount before saying it to the outside, for fear of stimulating others.

Feng Yiping's family, if you divide it according to this, he and his mother don't like to show off, Feng Zhenchang is in between, wandering on both sides, Feng Yuxuan, although he doesn't brag, at least he can be classified into the pile that loves to show off.

Of course, there is nothing right or wrong about this, it's just that people are different.

Next, among the people who came to the door, many of them came to borrow money, not only the people in the village, but also many in the village, most of them were for the children's tuition fees after the New Year, and some of them were in trouble at home, such as someone in the family was sick, and they had a lot of debts, and they were sad during the New Year.

This is also a nerve-wracking thing, and for Feng Zhenchang and them, it is also painful and happy.

The situation of many families is similar to that of his family a year or two ago, and they all feel the same way when they hear it. The debts owed in the past, even if they have children who go out to work, only one or two years of life cannot fill the holes left in the past.

Let's all agree, it's not enough to sell them, let's refuse, then next, I don't know how many people will poke them in the back.

Fortunately, they have reference standards, take out the book of the previous loan, and the account of receiving gifts when building the house as a reference, I helped them before, and now I ask for the door, of course, I can't refuse, those general friends, some of them politely refuse, after the New Year, they want to prepare for the opening of a new store, and they do not have much money to spare now.

Of course, it is not always refusal, as for those who are really difficult, I will help some as appropriate, although it can't solve the big problem, but it is more or less a mind.

Even so, nearly a thousand dollars were scattered before and after.
