Chapter 387: Uncle's Family
On February 16, the Spring Festival is coming.
Tianming drove the car and took his mother and Xue Hong to the county seat to buy a large number of New Year's goods, with pork, eggs, mushrooms, cuttlefish, as well as dry goods, candy, desserts, fruits and other things, spending tens of thousands of yuan.
The vegetables in the small space have all matured, and after nearly two months of continuous growth, the growth is amazing, the radish is the size of an adult's arm, the cabbage looks like a big grinding plate, and the largest potato is the size of a human head, not to mention the greens, carrots, tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers, all of which are extraordinary.
Cheng Fangwen believes that the soil quality of the greenhouse space is too good, the light time is long, the gravity coefficient is small, and the water and nutrients are abundant, and it is normal for melons, fruits and vegetables to grow large.
Of course, the taste is also very good, no matter what kind of dish, as long as it grows to the point where it can be picked and eaten, put it in a pot and stir-fry, it is not much oil, and it is still fragrant, so the vegetables that Tianming's family eats during this time are all made from a small space.
In the later stage, the growth of vegetables is a little uncontrollable, especially peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables, hanging fruits, heavy burden, pressed plants can not raise their heads, the yield is too large, Tianming's family can not consume it at all, simply, Tianming will harvest all the mature vegetables, except for leaving a few hundred catties of zài ability space, the remaining vegetables, all sent to Blue Mercury.
Of the five acres of vegetables, Tianming harvested two stubbles, harvesting more than 50,000 catties of vegetables, enough for more than 4,000 people left in Blue Mercury to eat for several days.
Vegetables have the characteristics of continuous growth, as long as the roots are not pulled out, they can also produce the second and third crops, such as peppers, tomatoes, leeks and other vegetables.
But the Lunar New Year is coming soon, and Tianming can't let Cheng Fangwen Xue Hong and his wife stay in a small space every day, so he brought them out. I specially told my grandparents to pay attention to the vegetables in the greenhouse space, where to pick them if they don't have any vegetables to eat, and don't care if they can't finish eating, just take a look at it.
Grandpa nodded and said no problem.
The Chinese New Year was originally a day of relaxation, but the scenic spot of Tianlin is getting busier and busier, and a large number of tourists have begun to come to the scenic spot to play.
Nowadays, most of the people in the city are a family of three, and they don't need to leave so many relatives for the New Year. So finding a good scenic spot to have fun for a few days is a good way to celebrate the New Year...... Starting from February 10th, the number of tourists in the scenic area has increased from more than 12,000 people per day to 45,000 people, which is almost to the limit of the capacity of the scenic spot.
There are more tourists in the scenic area, and there are more people in need. Many villagers in the village who work in the scenic area may have to spend the year in a busy year, but they are very happy to see this busyness because they can get double their salary. Combined with bonuses and other income, on average, each household can get an income of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and there are more than 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. It's no worse than going to the city to work.
The eldest uncle and third uncle came to work a few days ago, not because they were too eager to make money, but because there was a real shortage of manpower in the scenic spot. Tianlin called them, and the next morning, they came over on an electric car.
There is another episode here, that is, Tianming's uncle, who also begged Tianlin to arrange a job for him.
Tianming's grandfather has three daughters and two sons, his father Xu Jinsheng is the youngest, and he has three sisters and an elder brother, a total of five brothers and sisters.
In other words, Tianming has three aunts and one uncle.
Two of the three aunts married away from home, and the youngest third aunt married a villager from the village.
And the uncle's family does not have a very good relationship with the Tianming family.
Uncle's name is Xu Changsheng, he is a playful and willful person, he is the first boy born after his grandmother gave birth to three daughters, he is very favored, even to the point of being a little eccentric, anyway, the love that his father Xu Jinsheng received from his parents was far less than that of his brother.
As a carpenter family, it should be a matter of course to learn some ancestral crafts, but the uncle was half-hearted, he couldn't study at school, and when he returned home, he couldn't learn carpenter's crafts, and his diligence was far less than that of his younger brother.
Over time, the result can be imagined, my brother Xu Changsheng achieved nothing, and finally went out to work with others. The younger brother Xu Jinsheng learned the family hand-me-down craft and had a skill.
At that time, carpenters were not popular, even if they had good craftsmanship, they couldn't make much money, and they could only make a lot of money by going out to work. The two brothers, one in the city and the other in the country, are almost the same.
But Xu Changsheng is too ridiculous, although he can make money outside, but he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he goes home every year for the New Year, it would be good to come back with the travel expenses, where can he expect to save money.
Xu Jinsheng helped others make furniture, and he didn't make much money, but he saved it little by little, and slowly became a little wealthy, and he could settle down and buy a house.
Xu Jinsheng has the money to get married, and his brother Xu Changsheng is also going to get married, but he doesn't have a penny in his hand, and according to tradition, it is generally the elder brother who gets married first, and then the younger brother gets married, if the younger brother gets married first, it will not be like that.
The family, the elder brother helps the younger brother, and the younger brother helps the elder brother, it is all natural, Xu Jinsheng lent the 10,000 yuan he saved to his brother, and also helped him build a set of furniture, so that the elder brother could get married first.
After Xu Jinsheng dragged on for two years, it wasn't until he had money in hand that he married Liu Hongcai at the age of 24 and lent his brother 10,000 yuan, but he didn't pay back a penny.
Xu Changsheng's old wife Luo Ximei, her mother's family is powerful in the village, she is a spicy woman, not to mention the small belly and chicken intestines, and often conflicts with her mother-in-law because of trivial matters, Liu Hongcai has been bullied by her many times, and finally because of a quarrel, the brothers turned their faces and separated, and since then, the two families rarely have contacts.
More than ten years later, Tianming's grandparents were seriously ill one after another, lying in the hospital bed all the year round, and their health was worse day by day, and it seemed that they were not good.
Xu Changsheng not only did not bear the medical expenses of his parents, but he didn't even look at it, and before his grandmother died, she kept shouting "Changsheng, Changsheng" until she closed her eyes, and she didn't see her uncle, and she died with regret.
Because of this, his father Xu Jinsheng announced that he had severed the brotherly relationship with his brother Xu Changsheng, and since then he has been a stranger.
In order to treat their grandparents, the Xu family exhausted their wealth. Xu Jinsheng had to put down the carpenter's box, pick up the hammer, and go to work on a construction site in the city for eight years - every day Lin was studying, and he didn't go to the city to work, and he couldn't earn enough money to pay for their schooling.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and every day Lin has become an adult, and the family has already overcome the initial predicament and lived a rich life that everyone envies.
However, Xu Chang's promotion to the family is far from being as good as today's Xu Jinsheng's family.
In his early years, he was obsessed with betting on horses. I couldn't stop persuading him, and then I gambled all the money, so I worked in peace for a few years, and my two sons were admitted to college, and both sons graduated and went to work, and he was relaxed, so he went back to the countryside to retire and farm the land the year before last.
Xu Changsheng's two sons are also Tianzi. Xutian Thunder and Xutian Wind: Lei Ming Wind Forest, Tianming ranks second.
cousin Xu Tianlei, who is now a math teacher at an elementary school; cousin Xu Tianfeng, relying on the relationship of the eldest aunt's family. I entered the county hospital as a doctor, and I got an iron rice bowl, and the salary was not very high, but it was better than a stable dìng. Anyway, it's much better than Tianlin going home to farm after a few years of college...... In front of several aunts, the uncle showed superiority in this regard.
Last year, Tianlin suddenly built such a big scenic spot. Xu Changsheng was a little surprised, how could Tianlin have so much money to build such a big scenic spot?
The scenic spot opened, the money was rolling, and then he was a little panicked, this scenic spot is too profitable, I heard many villagers working in the scenic spot in the village said, the scenic spot can receive hundreds of thousands of people a year, and one person receives two hundred yuan, that is, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, Tianlin is the big boss of the scenic spot, and he can earn at least tens of millions a year.
Xu Changsheng's life is not easy now, he will definitely not be able to work in the city, it is good to be able to manage a few acres of land in the countryside without being hungry, and it is delusional to make money. In addition to the 3,000 yuan each given by the two sons every year, where is the excess income?
Tianlei Tianfeng has wives and children, and it would be good for them to be able to support their family with their little salary, and they also have to repay the mortgage and car loan, and the 3,000 yuan of pension money they each took was squeezed out of their teeth, and there was no more.
Six thousand, is the living expenses of Xu Changsheng Luo Ximei and his wife for a year, in addition to food, they can grow themselves, use and wear, plus daily expenses such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, how can this money be enough?
During the Chinese New Year, you may not even have the money to buy New Year's goods.
And for the elderly at their age, the pension insurance has basically been bought, and they haven't bought it yet, so there is no protection when they are old, how can they not panic?
Now seeing that Tianlin's family is thriving, with an annual income of tens of millions, and most of the people in the village except for his family have benefited, Xu Changsheng is envious and regretful, he shouldn't have done it so desperately in the first place! Now that the two families have broken off their relationship and missed the opportunity to take a free ride, how good would it be if they didn't listen to that woman?
Of course, no matter how much remorse you have, it's useless, and I've quarreled countless times with my wife and sister, and the top priority is how to make up for the relationship between the two families.
No, Xu Changsheng came to Tianming's house with a pound of bacon to ask for reconciliation.
Xu Jinsheng, who was sitting at the door, saw Xu Changsheng coming, his face immediately pulled down, moved his chair, turned his head and didn't bother to look at him and said, "We have broken off the brotherly relationship, why are you still coming to my house?" ”
Straightening the old coat on his body, Uncle smiled and said: "Jinsheng, I was wrong about what happened back then, I shouldn't have listened to that, when my parents died, I was also very sad, and I couldn't sleep for a few days and nights...... It's all that Luo Ximei! If it weren't for her, how could I have become such a rebellious and unfilial person? I'm going to divorce her tomorrow! I don't want this kind of woman! ”
Tianming was dumbfounded, uncle's face-changing kung fu is good, not to mention shirking responsibility, even his wife of more than 30 years kicked away, one word, ruthless!
No, no, seeing that his younger brother's family is getting better and better year by year, earning tens of millions of dollars every year, it is terrible that he can share one percent a year, not to mention, although the relationship between the older generation is not very good, but the four brothers Tianlei, Tianming, Tianfeng, and Tianlin, the relationship is still good, at least the four of them, or brothers, will move around once a year, as long as this relationship is not broken, then there is still room for turnaround.
So, Xu Changsheng talked about the work and life of Tianlei Tianfeng again, one word, bitter!
Take Tianlei as an example, he is a primary school teacher, only has a salary of more than 3,000 a month, his wife and children have to be supported by him, the mortgage is more than 2,000, or his mother's family helps to pay it back, life is very poor, relatives and friends are married, they can't afford to send money, they don't go to receive invitations, but they still have to take 3,000 yuan to support him...... As he spoke, Uncle wiped away tears.
Tianfeng's salary is slightly higher, his wife opened a small shop, but the pressure of survival is not small, the mortgage and car loans are repaid by themselves, last year the mother-in-law was sick and had surgery, spent more than 100,000 yuan, and owed tens of thousands to others, giving him 3,000 yuan a year for the elderly, which was also squeezed out of his teeth.
Uncle wiped his tears and said, "Jinsheng, this is all retribution, it's useless for me!" I'm not qualified to be your brother, I'm here today just to hope you can forgive me, alas, I haven't done anything serious for decades! I feel ashamed, you must accept this apology, this is the only serious thing I have done. ”
Tianlin said: "Dad, if we help Uncle Xia, his family is indeed very difficult, let's take it as a burden for my cousin." ”
Tianlin was a little soft-hearted, Uncle had a miserable life in the past few years, he didn't have a new clothes on his body, he had several patches, his face was an unhealthy hunger yellow, his body was thin, his hair was gray, and he could describe it in two words, that is, "old".
People are not sages, who can be without fault, know mistakes can be corrected, and good is great.
Although I don't know how much truth there is in my uncle's words, at least I bowed my head and repented, and Tianlin is not easy to refuse people, after all, even if the relationship is broken, the bloodline is still the same.
For example, the third aunt's family is also planted a lifetime of land, after the establishment of the scenic spot in Tianlin, the third aunt, the third aunt, and two cousins who work outside, all arranged into the scenic spot, their family of four, the minimum salary is not less than 4,500 a month, the treatment is not thin.
Tianlin arranged a job as a tourist guide for Bo Boxu Changsheng, as long as he pointed out the way to tourists, picked up the garbage on the ground, the work was very easy, the salary was three thousand a month, including food, and there was a year-end bonus for a good job, anyway, this treatment was quite good.
"Thank you, thank you Tianlin, thank you so much!"
Xu Changsheng was very excited, and kept nodding to Tianlin to express his gratitude, his trip was not in vain.
……
Because Tianlin was still busy in the scenic area, in the afternoon, Tianming drove to Liujialing, and took all the adults and children of the three uncles' families to Hemu Village, planning to have a happy Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and reunion dinner together! The three aunts all readily agreed, and the aunt's family was in the city, and they would not return to the countryside for the New Year this year, so Tianming drove only two trips and brought all the dozen people to his home.
