On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Li Ruoyu lived a very fulfilling life, and he had not experienced this kind of day for many years. Approaching the Spring Festival, the New Year's atmosphere in Lijiawan is particularly strong, every household is busy killing chickens and ducks, and the feelings between people at this time are particularly simple, often a family has something good, will give some to the neighbors. Especially in Lijiawan, because the village is basically surnamed Li, it was handed down by an ancestor at a very early time, so it can be said that they can be regarded as relatives.

Li Ruoyu's home is in the middle of a bamboo forest, the place name here is called the big bamboo forest, in addition to Li Ruoyu's house, there are seven or eight families here, all of which are Li Ruoyu's father Li Baosheng's cousins, although there are close blood relations, for example, there are Li Ruoyu's uncles Li Baoguan, and some are separated by four or five generations, but without exception, everyone's relationship is very good. Therefore, in the two or three days when Li Ruoyu was sick, the uncles came to see Li Ruoyu and gave some things from their own land.

Come and don't be rude. Li Ruoyu is also a person who has gone to college, and he is the only college student in the village, and his salary is still so high, if he doesn't come to thank him one by one, he really can't say it. Besides, Li Ruoyu often went to these uncles' houses to eat when he was a child, and when he came back, he had already prepared gifts, but because he got sick when he got home, he didn't give them away. In his previous life, Li Ruoyu remembered that after he worked, he didn't get sick when he went home in the first year, and he gave these gifts brought back from Shanghai on the second day after he got home.

Li Ruoyu first went to his uncle's house, after all, this is his only uncle, and the uncle's family has always been very good to him, that is, he went to college and sponsored a lot of tuition. Li Ruoyu's uncle Li Baoguan did a lot of small business in the early years and didn't make much money, but in recent years, the timber business in the town has been very prosperous, because at this time there are more houses in the countryside, and timber is used, so he took this opportunity to make a lot of money, and conservatively estimated that he also has 50,000 deposits, which can be regarded as the person who got rich first in Lijiawan, and is also the only 10,000 yuan household in Lijiawan.

What is the concept of 10,000 yuan households in 90? An expert once started the study from the per capita household income and per capita savings of residents, and selected four time points in 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011 respectively to calculate the changes in the wealth of "10,000 households". From the perspective of per capita savings, the total savings of residents at the above four points in time were 53.2 billion yuan, 920 billion yuan, 7.4 trillion yuan and 17.3 trillion yuan respectively, and the per capita savings after considering population changes were 52 yuan, 800 yuan, 5,900 yuan and 13,000 yuan. In this way, the wealth of 50,000 yuan in 1990 was equivalent to 60 times the per capita savings at that time, and it was almost 800,000 yuan in 2011, which was quite good in the countryside at that time.

Li Baoguan's son and daughter did not do well in school, Li Ruoyu's cousin Li Ruofeng followed his father to learn business after graduating from junior high school, and now he can stand alone in business; Li Ruoyu's cousin Li Ruoya is also married to a well-known rich family in the town, so in comparison, the conditions of Li Ruoyu's family are much worse. However, now that Li Ruoyu has joined the work, his salary is very high, and he will soon catch up with his uncle's family in later generations.

Of course, now Li Ruoyu is not bad, from graduating in July to the present, plus the big red envelope at the end of the year, he has also received a salary of more than 10,000 yuan, which seems to be faster than the uncle's family, and it can be regarded as the second 10,000 yuan household in Li Jiawan.

Li Ruoyu took a Chinese cigarette and a bottle of Wuliangye that he bought back from the Huhai shopping mall to the uncle's house. These two things are good things in the nineties, and the price is very high, but Li Ruoyu can afford it now, and this is the first time he has been to his uncle's house since he worked, so he can't be too shabby.

Uncle's home is less than 300 meters west of Li Ruoyu's house, a two-story red brick building, with an orchard outside, enclosed by a red brick wall. Li Ruoyu remembered that when he was a child, he went to the uncle's orchard to steal fruits to eat, and once knocked down the wall of the uncle's house, because the walls at that time were made of lime cementitious material, which was not very strong, so it made a big joke. Later, the uncle said, Ruoyu, if you want to eat fruit, just come in and pick it, the door of the yard is not locked, it is not safe to climb the wall, don't do this in the future. At that time, Li Ruoyu was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put it, and later Li Bao taught Li Ruoyu a hard lesson, and since then Li Ruoyu has never stolen other people's fruits to eat, of course, he is not polite to his uncle's fruits.

The courtyard door of the uncle's house was wide open, and I saw that the uncle and the aunt were busy lighting a fire in the yard to burn the fluff on the chickens and ducks that had ripped off the feathers, and the cousin Li Ruofeng and sister-in-law Chen Xiaoqin were also killing fish on the side, Li Ruoyu strode in and shouted: "Uncle, aunt, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I have come to greet you for the New Year!" ”

When the eldest aunt saw Li Ruoyu carrying cigarettes and alcohol to their house, she quickly stood up, rubbed her greasy hand on her apron a few times, and then greeted her, and said with a happy smile: "Hey, isn't this Ruoyu?" How's it going, the cold is better, right? Look at you, come on, what kind of courtesy do you bring, come in and sit! ”

Li Baoguan, Li Ruofeng and Chen Xiaoqin also put down their work and stood up to say hello to Li Ruoyu. Li Ruoyu hurriedly stuffed all the cigarettes and alcohol into the hands of the eldest aunt, and said politely: "This nephew pays New Year's greetings to his uncle and aunt, and gives some small gifts, which is not a respect, please uncle and aunt must laugh!" ”

Li Baoguan laughed and said: "The only college student in our Li family is different, and the exit is the sentence spoken by cultural people!" Good, good, good! Uncle, I laughed it off. ”

The eldest aunt looked at the cigarettes and wine in her hand, and said in surprise: "Hey, Ruoyu, these cigarettes and wine cost you a lot of money, right?" I still recognize these Chinese cigarettes and Wuliangye, don't look at your aunt's illiterate, I will never be wrong about this tobacco and alcohol. ”

The eldest aunt hurriedly put the cigarettes and alcohol in the hall, moved a bench, and pulled Li Ruoyu to sit down. Then he said with a smile: "Ruoyu, you are still working in Huhai, right?" Are you used to it? We've all heard that your salary is much higher than your uncle's timber business! ”

Li Baoguan, Li Ruofeng and Chen Xiaoqin all sat next to him and looked at Li Ruoyu with a smile, and now Li Ruoyu has become a celebrity in Li Jiawan, and even spread throughout the town, so they also feel very faced, because Li Ruoyu is the son of their Li family, and he is also his nephew Li Baoguan.

Li Ruoyu said modestly: "Where is the matter!" My salary is just a little more than that of ordinary people, how can it compare to my uncle's business? It's just a good time to catch up and enter the right line again, but our construction industry, especially the concrete industry, will definitely have a peak of development in the future, and then go downhill. And the wages of our people, after more competition, there will definitely be a sharp decline, but uncle, your business is different, at least in a few years this timber business will be very hot, and in the future after the demand for timber in the countryside becomes less, you can also do cement, ceramics and other building materials business, and I believe that these businesses will definitely become more and more popular. ”

Li Baoguan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Oh, is this true? I didn't expect our family Ruoyu to know how to do business! If it weren't for the fact that you went to college, Uncle still wanted to pull you to do the timber business together, well, I think you are really a piece of business material, and you can see farther than me! But how are you sure that the building materials business of cement and ceramics will be hot in the future? ”

When Li Ruoyu heard this, his heart was immediately happy, but he didn't show anything abnormal. Just kidding, I am a reborn person, how can I not understand the future historical development! knows the future of the uncle's family well. That's right, in later generations, with the development of the real estate market and the development of new rural construction, the building materials industry has gradually become popular, such as cement, river sand, ceramic tiles, wood flooring, sanitary ceramics these decoration building materials business is becoming more and more popular, the profits are also amazing, many building materials sellers have made huge profits from it. At the beginning of the 21st century, even in the towns and villages in remote areas, open a building materials sales store, you can earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year, not to mention those larger towns, located in the building materials market in the urban area, some small building materials stores even have an annual income of millions, which shows how amazing the profits are. Of course, after the competition intensified and the real estate market shrank, it was not so hot.

Li Ruoyu said with a smile: "Uncle, don't forget, I studied building materials, and I also worked in building materials, although I worked in a concrete mixing plant, but I also learned so much knowledge, and in a big city like Huhai, I naturally came into contact with more information." Let's put it this way, with the rapid development of our country's economy, people's demand for housing will become stronger and stronger in the future, and the construction of commercial housing will be more and more, so the demand for these decoration building materials will grow rapidly, even in this township, there will be many people in the future who have the need to improve housing, so you can be fully prepared, you can give up the timber business in a few years, turn to the cement and ceramics business, and will definitely earn more than now. ”

Li Baoguan nodded frequently when he heard this, and when Li Ruoyu finished speaking, he stretched out his thumb and praised: "It is worthy of being a college student trained by the country, and he is also very good at the building materials business!" Uncle believes in your vision! ”
