Chapter 145: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
February 4, Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the ancestral house of the Wu family in Wuhuang Village, the Wu family is eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner around a large round table.
This time, the group of people who returned to their hometown in the mainland remained unchanged from last year, only their cousin Wu Xiaoyan and cousin Wu Bingxuan remained in Xiangjiang and did not come.
Mother Li Feng walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of white porridge and said with a smile: "Method, take it well, this is white porridge cooked in a big pot, but it is much better than that cooked in a pressure cooker." ”
Most people who have been to the countryside know that the food fried in a big pot on the stove in the countryside is better than the food fried in a small pot in the city.
Similarly, after cooking on the stove, there will be pots, and the white porridge cooked in these pots will taste better than the white porridge cooked in the pressure cooker or rice cooker.
When Noriko Sakai came to the mainland last year, she liked this white porridge when she drank it for the first time.
Sakai Noriko took the white porridge, smiled sweetly, and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"
When Li Feng heard this, his smile became even brighter, and he praised: "The method is really good, drink it slowly, don't get hot." ”
After a year of getting along, Sakai has been completely integrated into Wu Ming's family, especially Sakai Fazi's well-behaved personality is very much loved by her mother Li Feng.
"Hey!" Wu Ming couldn't help muttering when he saw this scene, "First Amin, now it's Fazi, my mother is even closer to them than me." I'm getting less and less in the family, and I'm almost like my dad. ”
Father Wu Bing'an, who was sitting on the side, happened to hear Wu Ming's whispered complaints, and immediately sneered: "Stinky boy, now I know your father's hard work, see that you usually rely on your mother to fight against me, and the two of us will be sympathetic to each other in the future!"
Wu Ming saw his father's mocking expression and joked: "Dad, no matter how I don't have a status at home, I have to be higher than you." Why don't you have any sympathy for the same disease? You should be your boss obediently!"
After hearing this, Wu Bingan immediately said angrily: "Okay, you stinky boy......
Wu Bingan also wanted to teach Wu Ming a lesson, but he didn't expect Li Feng's voice to come at this time.
"Wu Bing'an, eat your meal obediently, you are in your thirties, and you are still fighting with your son who is less than ten years old, what are you talking like!"
Wu Bing'an had no choice but to eat obediently, and whispered in his mouth: "The stinky boy doesn't look like a child at all, what's wrong with it?" But sure enough, like what the stinky boy said, I have the most no status in the family." ”
"Hahaha!"
"Huh!"
On the other side, Wu Bingping and Wu Bingwen's families couldn't help but laugh when they saw what happened to Wu Ming's family.
Wu Bingping picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said: "Bing'an, I toast you today, thanks to your family, our village can get rich, and the life of the villagers can be better, this is all your credit!"
Wu Bing'an Huo Ran got up, also picked up the wine glass, and said with a straight face: "Brother, this is nothing! I am rich and capable now, of course, I must help the villagers within the scope of my ability." I think when my mother died, if it wasn't for the villagers who took a hand, how could I be where I am today. ”
The two clinked glasses to each other and drank them all.
After sitting down, Wu Bingping smiled and sighed: "Since the establishment of Sanjiang Food, the life of our village has been getting better and better, this year, including wages and dividends, each family has received more than 6,000 yuan, which is more than ten times that of before!"
Wu Bingwen smacked his mouth and said in surprise: "According to the exchange rate between the renminbi and the Hong Kong dollar, this is already about the same level as the bottom of the Xiangjiang River!
Wu Bingping nodded and agreed: "Yes, the salary is okay, it's only 100 yuan a month, but the dividend is 5,000 yuan at once." When the dividends were paid last month, the villagers looked incredulous. Later, Dole went crazy and is now preparing to build a new house!"
"Wait!" Wu Ming interjected, "Uncle, you said that the villagers are going to build a new house?"
Wu Bingping nodded, and then asked suspiciously: "Yes, the villagers have money now, and Sanjiang Food Company is getting better and better, and the villagers don't have to worry about running out of money in the future." Clothes, furniture, electrical appliances and everything are there, and now the house is missing. And with the road from the city to us, it is much easier to transport materials, so everyone is ready to start building houses in another month or two. ”
Now is not a few decades after the housing prices have risen to sky-high prices, even if you build a bungalow in the countryside in a few decades, it will cost hundreds of thousands.
But in this era, in the countryside, only a few thousand dollars are enough to build a new house. Of course, this kind of house is only a one-story bungalow. It is not a multi-storey building like in later generations.
Wu Ming smiled and replied: "The house doesn't need to be built by the villagers, this time my dad came back not only for the New Year, but also to help the villagers build a house." ”
"Not bad. Wu Bingan agreed, "When I was in Xiangjiang, I discussed with Xiao Ming that we wanted to tear down several of our houses to build villas. Then I thought that the villagers lived in old houses, so I simply demolished them all together and rebuilt them. ”
Wu Bingping was overjoyed as soon as he heard this, then thought about it carefully, and hesitated: "Wouldn't this be bad, after all, hundreds of households are not a small amount, if this part of the money is paid by you, it is really ......."
"Hey!"
Before Wu Bingping finished speaking, Wu Bingan waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
"More than a hundred houses are nothing at all. Wu Bing'an looked serious and said firmly, "If it is in a place where every inch of land is expensive in Xiangjiang, it will naturally cost a lot of money." But the mainland is now so cheap in terms of labor and materials.
More than 100 houses survived, at most, tens of millions of yuan, not as much as my company's monthly profit. My company's monthly profit is hundreds of millions of yuan, which is just a drop in the bucket for me, so you don't have to persuade me at all, brother. ”
Grandfather Wu Jianhua looked at Wu Bingping at this time and persuaded: "Bingping, you don't have to persuade anymore." I know exactly how much your brother has in the family. If building these houses is going to break his bones, I'm going to stop him. But I've seen the cost table of houses in the mainland, and it's much cheaper than in Xiangjiang. With such a small amount of money, he can earn it in a few days, so you don't have to worry at all, just let him do his part for his parents!"
Wu Bingping wanted to say something, but when he saw everyone's unanimous expressions, he swallowed his words back.
"Okay, let's do what Bing'an said!" Wu Bingping shook his head and sighed, "Tomorrow I will go and gather the villagers and tell them about this matter, so that they don't have to contact the construction team." ”
