………………… The following text........................
At this time, the relationship between the Chen family and the family was still relatively harmonious. The future in memory is full of trouble.
Chen Qingjiang and Chen Qingshui successively started a timber business. Because of the relationship between competition and customer grabbing, the two families are very stiff. Fortunately, there is also a Chen Yuan in the middle. As the eldest grandson, Chen Yuan is loved by the elders in the family. It was he who eased the internal contradictions between the two families, and also made Chen's father and Chen's mother, who were on the verge of bankruptcy after two economic crises, get the support of the second uncle and other members of the family. only to finally get through it. But since then, he has embarked on a long road to repay debts.
The current Chen Yuan naturally won't let those things in his memory happen again. He wants to make the relationship between his family more harmonious through his own efforts. Bringing gifts to the second uncle's family, sister-in-law's family, and grandparents is the second step he has to take.
And the first step has been achieved. Chen's father and second uncle joined forces to start a business. So that there will be no more competition with each other in the future. There will be no more resentment against each other.
Of course, it was impossible for him to tell anyone about these things, including Su Muying beside him.
The two talked about walking, and soon returned to Chen's house.
At this time, the Chen family had two houses by the river, one for business, and also for Chen's father and mother to live in. There are only three simple rooms, kitchen, bedroom, and living room, and the sum of the three rooms is less than 50 square meters. The other one is right next door, right next to the river. Originally, there was only one large room, which was a factory for the production of pure water. Later, the project was abandoned, and it was divided into five small rooms, two bedrooms, a living room, a storage room, and a bathroom, with a total of less than 40 square meters.
In their memory, Chen Yuan and Su Muying have lived a difficult life for more than ten years in such a small space! There is air conditioning in the summer, and it is easy to spend it. In winter, there is no heating, only electric blankets, and it is difficult to turn on the air conditioner occasionally.
Chen Yuan recalled the difficult scenes of survival in his memory, and he was full of endless guilt for the little girlfriend next to him.
He grabbed Su Muying's little hand, and with a slight force of his right hand, Su Muying snorted lightly, but he was scratched by Chen Yuan.
"I'm sorry," Chen Yuan realized his mistake and quickly apologized.
Su Muying smiled, "It's nothing." ”
She pointed to the logs in the field and said, "Is this your business in business?" ”
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "I used to do carpentry work, that is, to make some tables, chairs and benches, and later I also made furniture for a while. When I sprayed the paint, it was very toxic, and it was not particularly profitable, so I gave up. Changed the project and made purified water. Now the pure water conservancy is thin, a bucket of water is only 4 cents, and it is not as much as the supply and marketing cooperatives and small shops. Half a year ago, I started to get involved in the timber industry. ”
"Is it profitable?" Su Muying asked curiously.
"Now I can think of nothing more lucrative than this line of work." Chen Yuan smiled lightly and said. "In our county, and even in several nearby counties, there is a blank slate for logging and sales. On the one hand, there are restrictions on the means of transportation, and on the other hand, many people do not know about this industry. Did you know that we only need to buy a tree for 5 or 6 bucks, but we can sell it for 40, 50, or even 100! ”
After Su Muying heard this, her heart trembled: "So profitable? ”
"This is not enough to make money," Chen Yuan smiled and said, "A tree can earn 50 yuan, but my father and second uncle have limited ability, and they can only cut down thirty or fifty trees a day at most." Counting it down, it's not that profitable. ”
Su Muying began to calculate carefully, even if he cut 30 trees a day, the average profit of one was 50 yuan, and at the end of the day, there would be 1,500 yuan! 1500 pieces? Oh, my God! Su Muying's heart beat fiercely, this is not profitable? So how do you make money?
Chen Yuan didn't know what Su Muying was thinking, and said to himself: "More than two months ago, my father and second uncle began to hire people to help cut down trees and load cars. Instead, they themselves are idle. The money they made in such a day was more than the two of them made in a whole day of suffering. The number of trees cut down in a day has changed from 30 to 50 trees to 100 trees now! Profits doubled! ”
"Chen Yuan, is it okay for your family to cut down trees like this? The textbook says that trees should be protected and not cut down indiscriminately. Su Muying whispered.
Chen Yuan took Su Muying's little hand, looked at this simple little girl, his eyes were full of smiles, and said, "You may not know it, but in fact, trees also need to be renewed. A fast-growing poplar grows for seven or eight years, and it reaches its peak. If it continues to grow, it is not worth much. At this time, it is necessary to cut them down, replace them with new saplings, and grow them for another seven or eight years, and then they will be cut down again. In this way, the maximum economic value of tree planting can be brought into play. ”
"Really?" Su Muying was skeptical.
"Yes, now our whole county is full of poplars, willows, elms, locust trees, and so on. Felling is the best option. Not only does it bring benefits to the owner of the tree, but it also allows us to make a profit. Do you say this industry is good? Chen Yuan asked.
This industry is naturally good, Su Muying silently thought in her heart, if her father can also do this kind of business, there is no need to work in other places all year round. Just work for a few days, and you can catch up with a year's income!
"Chen Yuan......" Su Muying called in a low voice.
"What?" Chen Yuan looked at Su Muying.
Su Muying blushed, but she couldn't say anything in her heart. After struggling for a long time, she said, "It's nothing." I didn't call you! ”
Chen Yuan smiled in his heart, he didn't know what Su Muying was thinking, but he had already thought of a money-making business for Su Jun.
It is now the end of 1999, there are too many profitable businesses, and Chen Yuan, who has memories of the next 20 years, is equivalent to having alchemy. He can point to a way to make money.
The sky gradually darkened, and Su Muying's heart gradually developed a sense of anxiety. After hesitating for a long time, she said to Chen Yuan: "Chen Yuan, should you send me home?" ”
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that you want to play for two days?" ”
"But, but ......" Su Muying didn't say anything after a long time.
"Okay, I've already told my uncle and aunt, you can just sleep here." Chen Yuan said.
The dinner was very rich, in addition to a bowl of goose meat, Chen Yuan also made a sweet and sour fish for Su Muying. He knew that she liked this dish, and he remembered making it countless times, and at this time, he was also very skillful in making it. The sweet and sour fish is ready, and it is accompanied by two dishes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cabbage in vinegar. Plus a large bowl of West Lake beef soup.
Naturally, beef is not available, and can only be replaced with pork.
Su Muying rarely had the opportunity to eat such a meal, and looked at the sweet and sour fish that had just come out of the pot, and was really happy in her heart.
As soon as the meal was ready, Chen's father and second uncle came back and pulled back the last cart of logs.
The second aunt made dinner at home, and when she was anxious, she took Chen Kai to Chen Yuan's house to wait. The two families got together, and naturally they all sat down at the dinner table. At this point, four dishes are missing. Chen Yuan simply went to the village shop and bought a ham, canned fruit, chicken racks, and peanuts. It's also a soup of eight dishes and one soup.
It is worth mentioning. In this era, chicken racks have just been served on the dinner tables of farmers, and many people have a soft spot for chicken racks as a side dish. Although there are more chicken bones than chicken, there is a greasy chicken butt and sprinkled with chili powder and cumin, and it is still delicious! In the future, few people like to eat this stuff anymore. It's hard to swallow.
Chen Yuan secretly sighed that no matter what, with the changes of the times, the lives of rural people have indeed changed for the better. Both material and spiritual life have been greatly improved.
One dinner, seven people, everyone who eats is satisfied.
After dinner, change to tea. Taking this opportunity, Chen's mother took out the account book and counted the accounts of the past two months.
Income and expenditure, all of which are calculated, made a profit of 90,000 yuan in two months! If you add the inventory on the site, I'm afraid that this amount will grow a lot!
Chen's mother opened the drawer under the desk and took out three stacks of hundred-dollar bills from it. Each pile is a full hundred. She put the 30,000 yuan on the table and said to the second aunt next to her: "For the time being, there is only this money at home, and the rest of the money is stored in the bank." After two days, I will take out the money and give it to you according to the account. ”
The second aunt looked at the 30,000 yuan on the table and was a little stunned. After she married her second uncle, life was very difficult. There are a lot of debts, and the money in hand is never enough to spend. Only then did I do business with my eldest brother for half a year, and not only paid off the debts, but also had surplus money in my hands. There are 20,000 yuan in the family now, which is no longer a savings that ordinary rural families can afford. If you add the 30,000 yuan in front of you, there will be a share in the future. By the end of the year, the family's savings may exceed the 100,000 mark!
In 1999, in Qingyun County, a small northern city, 100,000 was not a small number. There are absolutely only a handful of rural families who can have this amount of money to spare. The second aunt didn't expect that before a year came, their family would be so rich!
"Sook-jin, so-jin!" Chen's mother called softly twice.
Shuzhen is the name of the second aunt. The second aunt came to her senses, her face was hot, and her expression was complicated.
Chen Yuan noticed the expression of the second aunt and sincerely felt happy and happy. In the dream of 20 years, after the defeat of Chen Yuan's family, he was helped by the second uncle's family. The second aunt regards herself as her own and loves her very much. Now he can make the second uncle's family live a rich life in advance, and it is not in vain that he is reborn.
It is certainly worth rejoicing to make money, but what is strange is that after Chen's father and second uncle listened to Chen's mother's abacus, there was not much joy on their faces.
Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Did you encounter any problems?" ”
Father Chen glanced at the second uncle and said, "Qing Shui, let's talk about it!" ”
