Chapter 111: Foresight
On August 22, when Hong Yanwu took the medicine prepared by Shou Jingfang and went to Longkou Village to pick up his family, Zhaoqing's wedding date had been completely booked, on September 10. Vertices are updated the fastest
In addition to finding someone to calculate this day, it is also because the solar and lunar calendars on that day are all even numbers, and it happens to be the next day and Sunday, which is very convenient for the relatives in the city of the Hong family.
They only need to take another day off. Come in the afternoon of the first day of the wedding and rush back the morning of the second day of the wedding. This way you don't have to get tired, and you can participate in the whole process.
It's just that the days are so close, it seems a little tight, but in fact, it's not.
Because the rural events of this year are quite concise, the important content is only on that meal. As long as you have pigs, money, and food stamps, go to the town and ask a few masters to ensure that you can do it properly.
What's more, the Hong family bought a lot of belongings from relatives this time, and the new house with those pots and pans and household items was already the first in the entire Longkou Village.
As for the woman's preparation, Xiaoqin's parents have been thinking about their daughter's marriage for a long time.
The lying box, kang table, square table, stool, and wardrobe on the kang were all made of wood last year and found someone to beat them out. The futon was also sewn out in two bunks and two covers. Having these as dowries is enough to make other families envious.
To say that what is really lacking at the moment is that the bride and groom lack a set of new clothes, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment.
So Hong Yanwu suggested that Zhaoqing, Xiaoqin, and An Sun should go back to the capital with them.
He said that in this way, the two newlyweds can not only go to the mall to buy new clothes, but also go to take wedding photos. With An Sun as his mother's brother, no one gossiped. At the same time, An Sun can also recognize the door by the way, and it will naturally save trouble to send eggs in the future.
Everything was well thought out, and that's how it was done.
When everyone returned to the capital, it was already the afternoon of the same day.
The three young people in the countryside had nothing to do, and they were very restrained in the Hong family. Accustomed to the wide open space and free fields, they are uncomfortable in a small room for a long time.
Especially Xiaoqin and An Taiyang, who came to the capital for the first time, although the fried noodles are very appetizing, and although the Hong family is warmly entertained, they still don't know where to put themselves.
I always feel like it's in the way everywhere. Move slowly and slowly, either touching something or hitting someone.
It's not good to go out, I don't know anyone, and there are unrecognizable alleys everywhere, and there are gray bricks and green tiles that never end, which makes people dizzy.
An Yang said to Xiaoqin in private, "No wonder Zhaoqing doesn't like to come to the capital, I also think it's better to be in the countryside, there are many people and cars here, and the aisles are not happy, and I feel aggrieved." ”
Xiaoqin was naturally afraid that people would hear it, so she quickly stopped it. "Brother Ritou, you ...... Don't talk nonsense. It's not good for people to hear. ”
An Sun pouted, very disapproving.
On the 23rd, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan still didn't go to work, and took the initiative to accompany a couple of newcomers and An Yang to go out to run errands.
They first went to the department store to buy clothes, bought leather shoes, and bought a new pair of pants for An Yangyang, and then went to Zhang Binggui to grab ten catties of candy. This allowed Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin to find a place to change into new clothes, and went to the Huaxia photo studio next to them, which had served many national leaders, and took a wedding photo.
Then they didn't go back directly, and they had a meal outside first. I watched ** nearby, visited the Forbidden City, and played all day before returning home.
And when he came back that night, An Taiyang's attitude changed a little.
First, because as a rural youth, it was the first time for him to wear such high-end pants, and he touched and touched them lovingly. In addition, he watched ** today and went to the Jinluan Palace, he felt that he had gained insight and opened his eyes, which is not a blessing that everyone in the village can have.
He whispered to Xiaoqin again, "There are still good places in the city, although the living is a little narrower, some can eat, and some play." If it's really nothing, it's okay to live for ten and a half days and a half if you are wronged, I heard that there are also Beihai and Summer Palace in the capital, if you can see them all, you won't lose anything in this life......"
Xiaoqin finally couldn't help but say him.
"Don't be so heartless all the time, you have to understand the rules of the city people when you enter the city. Do you know how much money it cost to buy these things? How many food stamps and meat stamps people spent on entertaining us? People in the city don't live with big fish and meat, white rice and white flour. Also, just now there was a big bowl of braised pork, and no one had two pieces, so why did you let all of them eat it alone, and you were not afraid to make these relatives laugh at it......"
An Sun was stubborn.
"I love meat, and I can stay as long as I feel comfortable. Besides, if they want to go to my house again, I will treat them like this. Hmph, don't think I don't understand anything. I want to have money to be able to live better than anyone else, and from now on I will live in the countryside and go to the city to play two laps if I have nothing to do. The things in the city, the environment in the countryside, together, that's the best life!"
Not to mention, often the truth is blurted out so inadvertently.
Coincidentally, in the Chen family in the Western Courtyard, Hong Yanwu also has this opinion.
He deliberately had a separate in-depth discussion with Zhaoqing, and analyzed the prediction of the future policy in more detail.
This is both to encourage Zhaoqing and to remind Zhaoqing. The countryside will not be poor forever, and the hat of family composition will soon be thrown off. There will be a lot of things that can be done in the future, and Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin will definitely not live worse than any city person, and they will even be happier.
At the same time, what surprised Zhaoqing even more was that Hong Yanwu not only gave him the "Haiyan" semiconductor radio in the house. He also took out 2,000 yuan for him to accept.
What Hong Yanwu means is that with the radio, Zhaoqing can know what is happening in the outside world at any time, and only then can he verify whether what he said is true. And of the two thousand yuan, one thousand is his gift to Zhaoqing, and one thousand is for honoring his uncle.
For Zhaoqing, he had never seen such a huge amount of wealth, so he was naturally shocked.
Hong Yanwu didn't hide it from him, and bluntly said that he had been pouring things in private, and he was bigger than him getting eggs. So this money can only be given to him like this. Otherwise, if you take it out openly, the elders will not understand.
But having said that, Zhaoqing still felt that the money was too much. He only refused to accept semiconductors, and said that he would not take any money.
Hong Yanwu had no choice, so he changed his words.
"Brother Zhaoqing, let's not be polite. If you really don't want to go, this money is considered our cooperative business. I mentioned it to my uncle and asked him to help me keep an eye on the collection of antiques in the village. I think that several of your villages have leveled graves, and there are a lot of good things flowing out. It's just that my uncle can't talk to me about money, and it's inconvenient for me to give him money openly. Now is the right time, if you really have the opportunity to see the antiquities in the future, whatever it is, you can use the money to buy it first. You don't have to send anything here, just store it there. The things that are collected, we can open them in three-seven. If you ask for money and take a thousand things, I will give you a thousand honorarium......"
"Are you really going to buy those things? so much money...... Spend it all?"
Zhaoqing really couldn't believe it, and he was really worried about him.
"Xiao Wu, it's easy to say between the two of us, if you don't take a penny, I'll help you do it. But I have to say, those pots and bowls, although they were valuable in the past, no one recognizes them now. You want to make a profit from this, it's too difficult to collect it and change hands......"
In this regard, Hong Yanwu smiled when he heard it, and he had his own reasons.
"Brother Zhaoqing, didn't my uncle tell you the phrase 'gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times'? To put it bluntly, these things are not a small business for food and clothing supplies, they have to make small profits and quick turnover, fast in and out. This is a big deal that has not been opened for three years, and it is normal to have been open for ten or twenty years. If you are in a hurry, you have to eat the market, and you have to sell the goods. If you really want to find a master who knows how to do it, hundreds of them are, and tens of thousands of them are also it. ”
"In addition, you should also understand the principle of 'rare things are expensive' and 'buy low and sell high'. There are many antiquities in the world, and they will become fewer and fewer. Low prices are a good thing, and this is a good time to stock up. To put it bluntly, once the price rises, you won't rush to collect it when the time comes. In fact, there is a joke that best describes it: 'If you ignore it today, you won't be able to climb it tomorrow'. You can rest assured that you can collect it for me, no matter how much I have, I won't have too much. If the money is not enough, you speak, and I will give it to you again. ”
"Then again, I'm talking about antiques, but I'm also talking about you. To tell you the truth, of all the people, why do I support you the most to stay in the countryside? It is because I feel that life and making money are the same. Opportunity is always there, and it is feng shui in turn. There is never one answer to a question, nothing is constant. It is important that we have a vision and prepare in advance, so that we can seize the opportunity and face it in the right way......
Hong Yanwu's words, although they were not fully accepted by Zhaoqing for a while, undoubtedly opened a window in his heart.
And from this window, what he saw was far more than just a comfortable little life for himself. It's far more than just living a life of eating, drinking, and wearing inexhaustibly in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Because what he heard today is like what Hong Yanwu said, then it means that there is really a vast world in front of him, and there is a lot to be done.
Even in the future, it is entirely possible for him to change the status quo of the entire Longkou Village and make the villagers live a good life.
But the key is that Hong Yanwu's judgments on policy prophecy can be confirmed one by one, and when the time comes, what he says must be listened to in the village.
The hope for the future, the return to the villagers, and the seeds of building the hometown were quietly planted in Zhaoqing's heart.
The position of clerk arranged for him by his father-in-law, Secretary An, in the brigade headquarters has also become much more important.
From this moment on, Zhaoqing had a new plan in his heart......
