In this small city where Xingfeng lived, in the countryside at that time, 99 percent of it relied on the antenna that came with the back of the TV, and barely accepted a few TV stations with snowflakes.

It will even appear at 12 o'clock in the evening, and many people are familiar with the "Didi Ball"!

Moreover, the TVs at that time were basically black and white displays, and they were also with antennas, but color TVs belonged to the rich to have high-end goods.

When the state's policy of benefiting the people came down, a group of shrewd people in the small city of Lianshui immediately got together a few or even a dozen companies to start a rural cable TV business.

Among them, Mashan Town, where Xingfeng Village is located, has also opened the curtain under the auspices of the town government, taking seven or eight nearby villages in the town as a district, and opening up the contracting rights provided by cable signals to the people.

In Xingfu Village and several neighboring villages, there are three people who have a little spare money in their hands, and they have cooperated to contract this piece from the government.

The equipment and equipment are quickly put in place, but it is not enough to have money, but also need technicians!

In the 90s, when the reform had just opened up, there were still very few technicians who understood electrical appliances, and it was difficult to find one in ten miles and eight towns.

It's not realistic to go out of town to recruit people!

Aside from the fact that outsiders are not familiar with the local customs and terrain, it is easy to have conflicts with the name of the village, and the long-term maintenance after the construction is completed is also a troublesome matter.

At this time, Uncle Xiao has been providing home appliance maintenance services for two or three years in the nearby townships, and he is also famous.

So in this way, he did not invest a penny of it, and got 10% of the dry shares, and he also had a salary of more than 1,000 yuan per month.

You can make 30,000 or 40,000 a year!

This was a lot of money in the 90s, even if you go to other places to work hard for a year, you can't earn this amount.

A year later, the uncle's family switched to a color TV and drove the first motorcycle in the village.

And it's the kind of "prince-style" Haojue motorcycle that doesn't need to be ridden on your stomach.

It's very windy!

After staying in the countryside for a year, there has been such a big change, to put it figuratively, this is pie in the sky, and you will be hit on the head if you stand still.

When the uncle was thriving, Xing Feng's father's business failed, but the three children under his knees had already entered the age of high cost of studying.

As a last resort, the criminal father could only follow his mother's brother, that is, the uncle, and leave his hometown to go to a certain brick-laying job at the construction site in Huaihua City.

I have to mention here that my uncle is the second batch of people to study in college after the country reopened the college entrance examination, and after graduation, he was assigned to a state-owned construction company in Huaihua to work at the grassroots level.

It's still easy to introduce one or two people in to be cement masons!

Nearly 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye!

Under the state's one-piece housing purchase restriction and monetary austerity policy, the construction industry is okay in economically developed places, but Huaihua, a place with an average economy, has been hit seriously in an instant.

Engaging in construction development is the same model, to start construction of a piece of land with a bank loan, and the house has not yet laid the most basic framework, and it begins to be sold to the outside world.

Then use the first money of the buildings sold to repair the real estate, and use the balance of these buildings to buy the land.

And then the cycle again!

After these two policies, two of them have been strongly impacted, banks cannot sell houses without loans, and the rupture of the capital chain is inevitable.

As a result, most of the bricklayers are gone!

As a last resort, I can't make money outside, plus I'm older, and my children have grown up, so the financial pressure is relatively small.

Xing Feng's parents also returned to the village, working as a farmer at home and looking for odd jobs in private houses in the nearby townships.

At about the same time, due to the high development of China's network industry, all kinds of network signals have blossomed everywhere, and the traditional cable TV signals, which have only one or two dozen channels, have also entered the stage of being on the verge of elimination.

The income of the uncle's family has also entered a slippery slope!

And the world is so magical, the so-called 1% depends on talent, 99% depends on hard work, in fact, it is just a consolation word of chicken soup for the soul.

Two words, it is by luck!

The income of the limited TV station is getting worse and worse, and the uncle who has nothing to do at home wants to find something to do, so he relies on his qualifications to cooperate with the town government in cable TV for many years, and becomes a village party secretary.

Originally, the village party secretary only had more than 1,000 yuan a month, and he could only have a basic meal, and it was completely impossible to make a fortune.

And luck comes, and God can't stop it—

The three roads were built at the same time, and countless lands were expropriated for each household in the village, as the "Big Three" in the village, the uncle responsible for negotiating with the expropriation office.

was hit in the head by a pie again and stepped into the pinnacle of life.

Coincidentally, because the three brothers of Xingfeng's father all moved from the mountains to the outside, all the land allocated by the state was in the mountain lumps.

As a result, not an inch of land was expropriated!

The three roads were repaired at the same time, and the Xingfeng family did not receive any benefits, and the uncle's family, who also stayed in the village, bought a car to repair the small villa in the past two years.

This is a person's luck that determines a person's life!

……

When Xing Feng lamented that his parents' luck was always a little worse in this life, his sister-in-law was also constantly confiding in Xing Feng in a dissatisfied tone.

In short, it's two things!

The first thing is that the two couples got married the year before last, that is, about half a year after Xingfeng went abroad, because the marriage needed a wedding car to support the table.

is to ask my uncle to borrow his family's car and use it as the main wedding car.

Due to this local custom, both parties to the main wedding car will send a big red envelope, which will add up to one or two thousand yuan.

In addition, when he was running for the village cadre, the Xingfeng family and the people from the village who had a good relationship pulled him a lot of votes at that time.

Therefore, at that time, he agreed in one bite!

But after the wedding banquet is over, the unbelievable troubles come out.

Maybe it's in response to those two sentences-

The richer you are, the more stingy you are, and money can change a person's personality.

The little uncle and mother actually assigned his son, Xing Feng's cousin Xing Weixiong, to come to the door and ask for 300 yuan for fuel, 500 yuan for vehicle wear and tear repair, and 200 yuan for the whole car cleaning fee.

A total of 1,000 pieces!

"It's more than 20 kilometers to my mother's house, it rained a little before the wedding, and there was a little more muddy water on the road. I'm angry when I think about it now. ”

After telling everything that had happened, my sister-in-law still seemed to be unforgettable, and then said the second thing.

"Also, a thousand yuan is not much, at that time, in order not to hurt the peace, my mother and father gave it to Xing Weixiong without saying too much gossip.

But when I gave birth to Hanbao a year ago, because it was more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, the amniotic fluid moved, and it happened that during that time, my sister's façade was transforming, and my brother-in-law was busy decorating the breakfast shop on the street and did not come back.

My mother was screaming in pain when she saw me, and she was very anxious, so she called my uncle's house at a loss, but he actually said that the car broke down and there was no way to take me to the hospital.

Later, I heard from others that it turned out that he was worried about the amniotic fluid that smelled a little strong, and the interior of his new car that had been replaced for less than half a month had stained it.

As a result, when my brother-in-law hurried back from the street, I sat in the car and the child's head came out, you know how dangerous the situation was at that time, but fortunately, my mother reacted quickly and helped me hold it with her hand in time, so that this matter was averted.

And the amniotic fluid and blood made the brother-in-law have to change all the interior of the car, and he didn't complain at the last word, compared to the uncle's family......

This is also a relative, it is completely different, some people, after they have money, they don't even want family affection, and they still put on a high-minded appearance, which is really despised.

If I wait for your brother to work hard to make money, I must buy a good car and go to their villa three times a day. ”

Speaking of the back, the sister-in-law looked at Xing Feng with helplessness and sighing.

"Your brother is an old bricklayer, and now the construction industry is sluggish, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take this breath in the short term, and I was looking forward to your return from abroad...... Hey, let's not talk about it, the day after tomorrow is Dad's 60th birthday, we should say something festive. ”
