Yin Yuan drove to the county seat to buy a water heater.

Other department stores and clothing stores have a lot of customers, and all of them are buying New Year's goods.

There are not many people in the electrical appliance store.

He saw a young man and a woman, and a middle-aged couple arguing.

"Yanping, either I won't buy this computer, wait and buy a motorcycle, okay?"

The young man whispered to the young woman.

The middle-aged couple next to them kept a straight face and said nothing.

The young woman glared at the young man: "Sun Donglai, don't marry a daughter-in-law if you can't afford it, and you don't want to buy something that has already been negotiated, do you fool me like a child?" Now that young people get married, which is not the four major items of color TV, air conditioner, motorcycle, and computer, but is it still a bicycle, a sewing machine, a stereo, and a refrigerator?"

Yin Yuan recognized them as Sun Donglai and Li Yanping from his village.

The middle-aged couple were Sun Donglai's parents.

The two young people and Yin Yuan's younger brother were classmates from elementary school to high school.

Li Donglai's father was a village accountant when he used to produce the team, and he was the most trusted person by the old branch secretary.

When other people's families drink porridge and chaff, his family has white rice for every meal.

When the young man in the village was short of food and clothing, his face was yellow, his muscles were thin, and his eyes were blank, and his brothers and sisters were all ruddy and fat.

So this Sun Donglai is stout and sturdy, 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white shirt, a suit outside, and black leather shoes, and the young people in the city feel dirty with him.

It is said that he worked as a cook in a restaurant opened by his uncle in the county seat, earning more than 500 yuan a month, and returned to the village as proud as a rooster.

Li Yanping's father turned out to be the captain of the production team, and he was also a character in the village who ate fragrant and spicy food.

Since she was a child, she has been spoiled like a baby by her father, who is the captain.

When the children of village cadres grow up, they also think that they are higher than the children of other people.

Hongmei wrote to him last year and said one thing: "The second brother fell in love with that Li Yanping, and my mother asked the matchmaker to say goodbye, but her parents scolded her on the spot, saying that the toad wanted to eat swan meat and wanted to be beautiful."

At this time, several people also saw Yin Yuan.

"Hello Uncle Sun, you also buy electrical appliances?"

Yin Yuan took the initiative to greet them.

Sun Donglai said enthusiastically, "Brother Yin Yuan, has your brother Hong come back? I'm a classmate of him."

"They should be home the day after tomorrow, and I'll be back early for something."

Li Yanping's expression was complicated, and her face was embarrassed.

At the end of August, Yin Hongbing took Feng Yizhen to send his parents back to the village, and went to the village committee to issue a certificate and the township civil affairs office to issue a marriage certificate.

I met Li Yanping at Luo Fatzi's tailoring shop in the town, because she had come to learn the tailoring skills from Luo Fatzi before, and she went to visit the master.

She opened a tailor shop in the village, but she didn't have much business and didn't make much money.

At that time, I saw Yin Hongbing driving a Honda Civic, and the co-pilot was a young woman with a temperament and posture no worse than her.

She regretted it and wanted to find a hole in the ground.

"Yin Hongbing, I didn't expect it, I haven't seen you for two years, and I have made a fortune working outside."

Although she doesn't know how to drive, the car in front of her must cost 200,000.

Yin Hongbing introduced Feng Yizhen to her.

"My wife Feng Yizhen, this car belongs to my brother, he asked me to drive my parents back, and now the two of us are here to get a marriage certificate in town."

Li Yanping asked him, "What kind of big business does your brother do in Guangdong? Your brother has made a fortune, and he won't pull you along?"

"My brother opened a decoration company and a building materials factory, and I will help him manage the decoration company now, which is a hundred times better than working before."

Yin Hongbing drove away.

Li Yanping rode her bicycle on the dusty side of the road.

Seeing Yin Yuan at this time, she only nodded slightly to say hello.

Yin Yuan said, "You guys are busy, I also have to buy a few electrical appliances to go back."

He knew that several of them were going to buy wedding gifts.

Yin Yuan went to see the water heater, and a waiter came to introduce him.

far

He heard Accountant Sun humming and explained, "The main thing is that this computer costs more than 10,000 yuan, plus a motorcycle needs to be bought, and you also need to buy an air conditioner and a color TV, and 20,000 yuan is not enough. Where is there so much money?"

The grandmother also sighed and said, "I still have to invite a banquet, what about the other expenses? Giving the eldest one a marriage has hollowed out all the family funds, and the second and third children don't have to marry."

Li Yanping said angrily: "It's clearly written on the gift list, but now I regret it, so I don't have to buy anything......

She huffed out of the store.

Sun Donglai hurriedly went up and grabbed her.

"Well, it's not a discussion. I think my parents are right, think about it, what's the use of buying a desktop computer and putting it at home? We young people don't know much about this stuff either. Besides, didn't you say last time, we also went to Guangdong to work after the New Year, and we couldn't take the computer that we bought with so much money, and it was a waste to put it at home. Are you right, even my brother and sister went to play and broke it......

Li Yanping may think that he is right, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's okay not to buy a computer, but you have to buy a motorcycle for seven or eight thousand, and then you can ride to Guangdong, and you have to give me another two thousand yuan." Otherwise, the matter will drag on......

Accountant Li was also very calculating, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, just do as you say. After completing these large items today, I will go to the township civil affairs office tomorrow to open the marriage certificate, and remember to apply for a birth permit."

He thinks that today's girls are very calculating, and they know that they are desperately squeezing their parents.

My wife is right, after they got married a year ago, they will be separated after the new year, and let them work to pay back the money borrowed from the marriage.

Yin Yuan bought a rice cooker, a water heater, a gas stove and a gas cylinder.

After payment, ask the store staff to carry a few items to the trolley.

After Yin Yuan drove away, Sun Donglai's old mother was still muttering to Accountant Li in a low voice: "Alas, Donglai has no ability, if only he could make money like Mr. Yin's son, people can afford hundreds of thousands of cars, let alone buy computers."

Sun Donglai heard it and said to his mother: "Don't look at the appearance of a big boss who drives a small car, Brother Fuyuan went to borrow money from him yesterday and found out that he opened a company and a factory, all with loans from others, and the interest repayment cost hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, which is not easy."

Li Yanping said: "No wonder, it turns out that the family has no foundation, and it is impossible to make a fortune in a short period of time."

It turned out to be a company opened with a loan and a building materials factory, in that case, she felt a lot more balanced in her heart.

She felt that Yin Hongbing didn't mix very well, in case his brother's company couldn't open at a loss, he wouldn't still be a worker.

Yin Yuan took the things he bought home, and his mother said that he shouldn't have bought a gas stove.

Yin Yuan said: "After the Chinese New Year, I filled two bottles of gas and put them at home, you and Dad are at home, just for stir-frying, two bottles of gas are enough for you to use for more than half a year."

There is a rice cooker for cooking, and there is a water heater for boiling hot water, and it doesn't use much gas for stir-frying.

He saw that Sun Zaohua had already opened the sewage pipe, and the two walls had been built.

At this time, the voice of the third uncle came from outside.

"Is Xiao Yuan at home?"

Yin Yuan walked out and saw Yin Benchang standing at the gate of the courtyard.

He held an old hen in his right hand and a bag of taro in his left.

He looked at himself with a smile on his face.

"I didn't know if you came back, I just heard what they said. The Reds, they haven't come back yet?"

Yin Yuan opened the door and let him in.

"I went to Qishan Mine to move my household registration, so I came back a few days early. Reds: They'll be home the day after tomorrow. Third uncle, what are you?"

Although he doesn't have a good impression of him, he doesn't reach out to the giver, and he is still the third uncle.

"This taro and the old hen are their own, and the old hen hardly lays eggs, so it's useless to keep them. Isn't your wife pregnant, so she brought her soup to drink. Now that our Yin family's grandchildren are about to have them, several of us are very happy. You take it, it's not worth much, it's just a little meaning."

Yin Yuan saw that he said sincerely, so

Take what he has in his hand.

"Your wedding with the Red Soldier, your second uncle and I didn't go, we all feel guilty......

Yin Yuan said, "It's so far away, you didn't go, and the red soldiers and I wouldn't say anything about you, besides, you asked the fourth uncle to bring a red envelope. The day after tomorrow, the two Hongbing also arrived at home, and I thought about setting up a few more tables at home for relatives and friends to drink."

Yin Benchang nodded and said, "Your idea is right, your two brothers are well mixed outside, but in terms of etiquette, you still can't let others gossip."

At this time, Yin Benfan returned home from the opposite school.

When I saw him, I beckoned him into the living room to drink tea and eat snacks and chat.

"Big brother, isn't school on vacation, why are you still going to school?"

"There are also a few carpentry masters in the school who repair tables and chairs, don't I live close, so Principal Li arranged for me to deal with this matter, and besides, I have nothing else to do at home."

Seeing that he brought chicken and taro to the house, Yin Benfan said, "Will you stay for dinner tonight?"

It doesn't matter if you eat or not, Yin Benchang is mainly here to explain to Yin Yuan the demolition of the old mansion.

However, if his two fathers and sons were enthusiastic about guests, he would not be able to ask for it.

Zhou Yafei and Wanting came back from the vegetable courtyard to see him chatting in a friendly manner, and they were also very happy.

Use a rice cooker to cook rice, use a gas stove to stir-fry, and there is no need to burn wood to boil water if you have a water heater.

Sun Zaohua worked with a few workers, because it was a full package of labor and materials, so there was no need to leave them to eat.

Yin Yuan went to the county seat and bought a few bottles of good wine and a few good cigarettes.

After Yin Benchang drank two glasses of wine, he said apologetically to Yin Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, the two rooms in your old house were demolished for me, and last time I said to lose some money, but your father refused to take it. I should have discussed this with your two brothers, but ......."

Yin Yuan said, "My dad is at home, you can just discuss it with him. The little bit of land in the old mansion will be given to you, and we will not care about you. It's not worth a lot of money, it's all about attitude."

Yin Benchang said repeatedly, "I did something wrong before, and I will never do it again in the future. Alas, after thinking about it, Hongcai is a fool, and he has that strange disease, and he can't speak well. I won't be able to marry a wife in the future, and when I'm old, I won't have to rely on a few of you nephews to take care of me. I used to treat my brothers like that, and it was really lard, and the bastard came home."

Yin Yuan drank with him with a cup.

"I heard that Xiao Yuan opened a company and a factory in Jiangming, can you bring Hongcai over, even if it is for you to guard the gate, let him see the world."

Yin Benchang still said the thoughts buried in his heart.

Yin Yuan said with a straight face, "Third Uncle, what do you think. Hongcai is like a five- or six-year-old child, he can't take care of himself, he can still go to work and do things? Besides, he has epilepsy, and he can have seizures at any time. At home, there must be an adult to take care of him at all times, and you let me take him to Guangdong to work?"

What heart do you have in peace?

Today, it's not for the sake of your gift to the door, I told you to get out of here on the spot.

Yin Benchang said again and again: "Alas, it's the uncle who didn't think about it again, it's true that this fool can't go anywhere, so he can only stay at home."

After eating a full meal and getting half drunk, Yin Benchang went back.

Yin Yuan said to his father, "The third uncle is still a person with a bad heart, and you must always be wary of him when dealing with him in the future, and don't let him take advantage of the loopholes."

My mother said, "Your father is too honest, from childhood to adulthood, he has to suffer the loss of the third child. I used to be even more arrogant, and I blatantly bullied the two of us. The last time you cleaned him up, he only apparently relented. I don't know what he thinks, let the sick and stupid Hongcai go to Guangdong with you?"

She said angrily: "A few days ago, I went to Sun Cripple's grocery store to buy soy sauce, and at the door, I heard Sun Fugui talking to a few people playing cards: You two brothers are all mixed up, and they both have wives, and the economic conditions are the best in the village, so you should help Hongcai to heal and help Hongcai marry a wife and come back." As soon as they saw me enter, they immediately shut up."

Yin Yuan said, "Why? What does his family have to do with us?"

Dad said

"You don't need to be as knowledgeable as him, they don't dare to be as arrogant as before."

Yin Yuan discussed with his parents and said, "The Red Soldiers and I are both invited to a banquet in Jiangming, these acquaintances in the village, as well as relatives and friends, do you want to hold a few tables of banquets and invite everyone to gather?"

My mother said, "It stands to reason that we have drunk a lot of other people's wedding wines before, and if you two do a happy event and don't invite people to drink, people will gossip behind your backs. It's just a little harder......

Yin Yuan said: "Don't do it yourself, pay for a chef, and even buy vegetables for him, we don't do it ourselves."

As long as the money is paid, there will be nothing that no one will do.

Both the parents and Wanting agreed.

called the red soldier's house and told him about it.

Both he and Yijin agreed.

He told his brother about the company and the building materials factory, as well as the construction site and the building materials store, as well as the arrangement of the construction company.

He said that he would return in a van early the morning after tomorrow, and that the Red Army would return with them.

Soon after the fourth uncle and four aunts said it, they didn't return for the New Year.

Discuss who to ask to cook?

My mother said, "That Sun Donglai is a chef at his uncle's house in the county seat, can I ask him?"

Yin Yuan told them about buying electrical appliances when he met them at the electrical appliance store today.

"He probably didn't want to marry a few years ago, maybe he wasn't available."

Dad remembered another person and said, "You go and ask Du Rongjun, he has a relative who works as a chef in a hotel in Pingxiang City, and he came to the village a few days ago, and his cooking skills must be higher than Sun Donglai's. Maybe it's a little bit higher."

Yin Yuan said, "It's okay to have more money, there is no shortage of money."
