Chapter 20 Thanking one's relatives for their kindness is a great joy

A few days before the Spring Festival, Wang Xiaofeng and Sister Yun discussed giving Sister Yun's parents a generous gift to thank the two elderly people for their care and help in recent years. When they got married, according to local customs, they should give a large bride price to the female family, but Wang Xiaofeng's family was in difficulty at that time, so they were exempted with the intervention of Sister Yun. Although he saved money, Wang Xiaofeng felt that he owed Sister Yun's family a debt again, and he was always haunted, feeling that he couldn't hold his head up in front of Sister Yun's family. Now that it has become a 10,000 yuan household, the arrears will naturally have to be repaid, and they must be repaid twice, so as to save the lost face. They bought a pair of 20-kilogram pork legs, two 10-kilogram large carp, two cigarettes, a box of Daqu wine, and a lot of pastries and fruits, plus 400 yuan for the New Year, and sent them to Sister Yun's house on a motorcycle. Sister Yun's parents saw so many gifts, came out to greet them with smiles on their faces, and immediately instructed Sister Yun's two younger brothers to go to the street to buy food and wine, and set up a banquet to entertain their daughter and son-in-law. Xiao Feng put down his things and wanted to leave, and said that "there is still business to take care of on the street"; Sister Yun's father insisted on holding on, so he had to stay.

Sister Yun's mother pulled Sister Yun into the house and said, "You are rich, why are you sending so many things?" Sister Yun said, "Thank you." When he got married, his family didn't pay a bride price, Xiaofeng has always felt that he owes you, and now that Xiaofeng has opened a store and become a 10,000 yuan household, shouldn't he pay it back in time? lest you and my father call him a 'poor ghost' behind my back, and scold me for bending my elbows outwards and having no conscience. When the mother saw her daughter revealing their old roots, she said embarrassedly: "That's all in the past, why do you mention it?" Although you have now become a 10,000 yuan household, you need capital to open a store, and you can save a little, so why bother to take out a loan and repay other people's interest? Sister Yun said: "To do business, how can there be anyone who doesn't borrow loans?" Loan one, earn ten, and add some interest and don't suffer a loss. It's nothing to buy you this little thing, and it's not worth my money for a gold ring. As he spoke, he showed his mother the gold ring and gold earrings, and said, "This ring is more than 800, and this pair of earrings is more than 600, adding up to more than 1,000 pieces!" The mother was very surprised, seemed to be a little unconvinced, and said, "Xiaofeng opened a store, how much can you make, and you spend money so lavishly?" Sister Yun said: "Don't wronged me, tell you, this gold ring, a pair of gold earrings, I didn't want it, it was all Xiaofeng who took the initiative to buy it for me." He said that with this money, he could earn it in less than a week during the New Year's period. The mother was even more surprised: "Ah! You can make more than a thousand dollars a week! It's almost time for our wheat harvest. Sister Yun said: "Otherwise, how can we become a 10,000 yuan household?" How can Xiaofeng be rated as a 'hard-working and wealthy leader'? Even Secretary Yang and Township Chief Li of the township government value Xiaofeng very much, and they asked him to speak on stage at the meeting! "There are still literate people who have the ability to make money!" Mother exclaimed.

Sister Yun has been waiting for her mother's words for many years, and now she has finally waited, she said with emotion: "Mom, do you know now, your daughter didn't see the wrong person, right?" With culture, people have wisdom, ability, far-sightedness, and ways to do things. As I said, the days of your daughter's wearing gold and silver are yet to come. I didn't say anything about it, did I? This time, the mother was not surprised, but nodded in convincing.

Sister Yun's two younger brothers pedal bicycles, and after a while, they bought fish and various vegetables from the market, and Sister Yun and her mother cooked together, and then put them on the table one by one, and there was a table full of them. Sister Yun's father took out the good wine sent by Xiaofeng, personally poured a full wine glass for his son-in-law, and then handed the wine bottle to his son, poured wine for the whole family, and everyone raised a glass together to congratulate the festival on the good harvest, the people are happy, and everything is auspicious. Xiaofeng also took the initiative to pour wine for Sister Yun's parents and three younger brothers, thanking them for their help and care for his family over the years.

In the past few years of marriage, Wang Xiaofeng has eaten at his father-in-law's house for the first time, because of family difficulties, debts, and can't afford to buy gifts, he always feels guilty and embarrassed when he sees Sister Yun's parents, even if he has to come, every time he comes in a hurry, he goes in a hurry, and never stays to eat. Today, he became a 10,000 yuan household, making up for the owed, and his parents-in-law warmly retained it and drank it with his whole family, and he and Sister Yun's parents had a lot of feelings in each other's hearts. During the dinner, Wang Xiaofeng thanked Sister Yun's parents for their care and help to him and his family many times, and recounted the thriving business in his store and the attention and support of the township leaders. Sister Yun's parents listened to it, recalling their previous obstacles to their daughter's marriage, and they couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so they had to infer that his family's previous situation was not very good, and they didn't help enough. Wang Xiaofeng even said that he understood. Subsequently, he said that because the business was going to expand and there was a shortage of manpower, he and Sister Yun had to go to the street to do business, and they wanted to give the land contracted by the family to his family to cultivate, Sister Yun's parents readily agreed, saying that his family had more labor and less land, and he originally planned to ask one of Sister Yun's younger brothers to go out to work, and with these lands, there was no need to go out to work. He promised to give Xiaofeng's family 1,000 catties of grain as rations every year; They are not at home, and his family can help take care of his parents and grandson Huzi sooner or later. Komine expressed his gratitude.

On the morning of the 28th of the year, my lover and I went back to my hometown to visit my grandparents - by the way, last year, I also got married, and the object was also my high school classmate, who was assigned to work in the youth department of the county Youth League Committee after graduating from college. The house in my county town has been built, and my family has moved in. The grandparents said that they were not used to living in the city, and they still lived in the village of Willow Forest with their uncle. Sister Yun and Xiaofeng heard that we were coming back, and at noon, they must invite our couple to dinner, but they had to agree. When we went to his house, it was indeed a big change, the whole family was wearing the latest winter clothes, Sister Yun's clothes were particularly bright and fashionable, and she also wore gold earrings and gold rings; Newly furnished was a large wardrobe and chest of drawers, as well as a 14-inch black-and-white television. I smiled and said, "Sister Yun, you guys are really changing shotguns now!" ”

Sister Yun looked happy and said, "This is thanks to Xiaofeng's good business." Do you know? My family is now a 10,000-yuan household in the township! She happily talked about how Wang Xiaofeng was named "the leader of hard work and prosperity" and was commended by the leaders of the township government. "It's amazing!" I praised, "I didn't expect that Xiaofeng had better grades than others when he was in school, and now he is also superior to others in business!" Because they were all old classmates in the county before, my lover joked: "Xiaofeng, I also quit my job, let's do business with you!" Wang Xiaofeng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, you are an iron rice bowl, I am a clay rice bowl, in the event of wind and rain, your rice bowl is strong and reliable." I saw that his family's house was still the same mud house as before, and said to Wang Xiaofeng: "Now that I have money, the house should be replaced by a tiled house." Wang Xiaofeng said: "Stop the New Year, the tiled house is ready to be built in the town." The land contracted by the family is no longer planted, and Sister Yun and I are both doing business on the street, and it is not convenient to live in the countryside. I said, "Yes." The uncle's legs and feet are inconvenient, and Huzi should also go to school, and the conditions in the town are always better than in the village. Xiaofeng said that they thought the same way.

After the Spring Festival, business in the store was light, and Wang Xiaofeng decided to close for a few days. He invited the township film projection team to show the movie in front of his house to entertain the whole village. β€”β€”This was a kind of fashion in the countryside at that time, who had a happy event, such as a child getting married, a noble son, a student being admitted to a university, a soldier receiving an award for meritorious service, and the parents were happy, they would show a movie to the whole village. Hearing that Wang Xiaofeng's house was showing a movie, the whole village of men, women and children, as well as people from nearby villages, came to watch it. Before the screening, Sister Yun sang a song of Huangmei Opera "Husband and Wife Return Home", and everyone listened to it and praised: "I finally heard Sister Yun sing again, her voice is still so bright and so good!" Then Wang Xiaofeng spoke. He said that he did not show this movie for any happy event, but specifically to greet the old folks in the village, and thanked everyone for believing in him for a year, willing to buy goods from his store, and strong support for his business. In the future, his business will expand, and he will give more preferential treatment to the villagers. He plans to contract the fertilizers and pesticides used by the entire village for farming; The preferential conditions are that each bag of fertilizer is two yuan cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperatives, and pesticides are five percent cheaper according to the price; Pre-ordered, home delivery is also possible; If they cannot afford to pay for the time being, they can keep the arrears in their accounts and pay them after the crops are harvested. The audience applauded warmly and expressed their welcome. He and Sister Yun asked the village chief to speak again. The village chief said that Wang Xiaofeng is a well-known 10,000-yuan household in the township, a leader in hard work and prosperity, and also the glory and pride of our village. He himself got rich first, and he didn't forget the villagers, and he wanted to lead everyone to get rid of poverty and become rich together. I hope that everyone will support his business, learn from Wang Xiaofeng's experience of hard work and prosperity, and hope that the farmers in the village will become rich as soon as possible. And took the lead in ordering Wang Xiaofeng's fertilizers and pesticides. Led by the village chief, most of the farmers also ordered his fertilizers and pesticides. The next day, Wang Xiaofeng and Sister Yun visited house to house, and almost the whole village ordered. Farmers in nearby villages took the initiative to come to their homes to order, and Wang Xiaofeng also gave them the same preferential conditions.

Wang Xiaofeng and Sister Yun carefully planned and determined to do a big job in the mall to realize the grand ideals of getting ahead, glorifying their ancestors, and raising their eyebrows since childhood.
