The village where the Fang family is located is somewhat far from Guanjia Village, and the people in Guanjia Village do not know Fang's mother.
But they heard the conversation between Fang Mu and Shi Xingchao just now, and they couldn't help frowning.
No wonder Fang Miyan came to live here before they got married. It turned out that the family looked like this!
If her brother lost money, he was going to sell her
Damn it, it's too biased.
In the countryside near Anshan Town, most girls get a dowry when they get married, but most families give their daughters the dowry back.
A few will take the dowry money, but they will not take it all. They always have to prepare some dowry for their daughters.
In any case, people who open their mouths with lions are always despised.
"I lost 40,000!" Some people were amazed, it was 40,000! In Guanjia Village, whoever has 40,000 yuan at the moment is definitely rich!
"This kind of prodigal, if I definitely have to kill him, she will chase him out like a baby to coax him."
"That's right!"
"They also said that Mi Yan was kidnapped. Is there such a kid?"
…
The people of Guanjia Village, Fang Miyan said that Shi Xingchao kidnapped Fang Miyan, that is a word of disbelief.
Renfang Miyan looks good. She cooks for Shi Zhen and the others during the day, and embroiders clothes with Shi Xingchao at night. How can she be kidnapped
Shi Xingchao wasn't the kind of man who cheated women with a full stomach. The beautiful girl at the top of their village offered Shi Xingchao a favor and asked Shi Xingchao to invite her to drink soda, but Shi Xingchao refused.
With another man, ten and eight bottles of soda were delivered to the door!
Everyone talked and talked, and they talked about gambling.
This year, more people are gambling, and they will also set up special dens.
These dens are usually in the countryside. The organizers will find a farmer, give them a little money, and then borrow their houses for the gamblers to gamble.
They will also arrange for people to guard the nearby roads. When they see the police coming, they will notify those who gamble and quickly retreat.
In such underground black casinos, there are often people who provide usury lending services.
In their village, there are also people who go to places like this to gamble. Everyone talks about these people with contempt.
However... the one who lost the most money in their village did not lose 40,000.
"That guy, isn't he too old? The family gave him so much money?"
"He is also powerful enough to lose it all!"
"It's just too spoiled, children are too spoiled, they are to be spoiled."
… Shi Zhen also felt that children are too spoiled and spoiled easily.
During this period, in rural areas, many boys were actually spoiled. When these boys grew up, many of them became addicted to gambling.
Shi Daniu's son is one of them.
Most of these children's parents only know how to give their children various material pleasures, but they don't know how to urge them to study.
They have been in the society early, they don't know how hard it is to make money, and they have money in their hands, so they naturally pick up some bad habits. Gambling is just one of them.
Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu ate hot pot at noon, and at night they ate a little simpler, but while they were eating, Shi Xingchao came.
"What's wrong?" Shi Zhen asked, Shi Xingchao usually wouldn't come over if he had nothing to do, especially if he came over for dinner.
Shi Xingchao said: "Don't talk about it, I was kicked out by my mother. She said that I was too much to my mother-in-law today and asked me to go to Fang's house tomorrow to apologize."
Shi Zhen: "…"
"Really, Fang Miyan hasn't been seen for a few days, and they came here. They didn't ask her if she was doing well, but they only wanted money... And I just took the face of her son, and she ran away. ..." Shi Xingchao was very angry.
"The older generation thinks differently." Shi Zhen said. People of his aunt's age, all wanting to be peaceful, naturally feel that Shi Xingchao is too much.
"Alas!" Shi Xingchao sighed deeply and asked Shi Zhen, "Azhen, do you have much food here?"
Shi Xingchao had a meal at Shi Zhen's place, and the next afternoon, he really took Fang Miyan to Fang's house.
Along with them, there are various gifts prepared by Chen Xiaofen.
The gifts were left at Fang's house, but they themselves came back soon. Shi Zhen chatted with Shi Xingchao to make sure they didn't suffer.
That is... Shi Xingchao was very distressed about those gifts.
Shi Zhen: "..." I really don't need to worry too much about this.
On Guan Baiyu's birthday, Shi Zhen bought him a cake, and the two celebrated the birthday together.
After the celebration, he sent Guan Baiyu to the station, and took the rest of the cake to Shi Dalin to share with Shi Dalin and the others.
Of course, only give Shi Dalin a small piece.
Shi Zhen has always attached great importance to their health. He often told Shi Dalin that if he eats too much sweets and greasy food, he will get sick. He also asked Zhao Meiyun to watch Shi Dalin, not to let Shi Dalin eat too many sweets and staple foods.
After being told by his son, Shi Dalin was a little unhappy at the time, but in a few days, he would tell people how much his son cared about him.
Now, he really doesn't eat greasy food and sweets very much.
Zhao Meiyun, Zhao Qiujuan, and Shi Ting, as long as there was meat to eat, they didn't choose to eat, and they liked to eat fatty meat, but now that living conditions are better, they only like to eat lean meat.
Zhao Meiyun bought the vegetables. Her family didn't like fatty meat, so she chose lean meat, or bought chicken, duck, fish or something.
In this way, even if Shi Dalin wanted to eat fat, he didn't have to.
However, there were meat dishes and no fatty meat to eat, so Shi Dalin didn't think there was anything.
He is not very demanding.
And then, he usually has enough to eat and drink, and he can't remember to eat snacks.
When Shi Zhen learned about his situation, his heart was a little sour.
In his previous life, Shi Dalin ate white sugar and the like... Maybe it was because of too much pressure.
Back then, it wasn't easy for everyone.
New Year's Eve this year, on February 18.
Guan Baiyu and the others have supplementary classes, and they will not have a holiday until February 12.
It was also on this day that Shi Zhen gave Shi Daniu and the others a holiday.
He gave them a red envelope of 500 each, and also said that when they worked for him again next year, he would give him a monthly salary of 600, and the red envelope would be calculated separately.
A year ago, he paid Shi Daniel and the others a low salary, because Shi Daniel and the others had little skills, but now, they are all proficient, and they will definitely have to raise their salaries.
What's more, wages are being raised everywhere at this time.
When Shi Zhengang was reborn, many people's wages were only two or three hundred a month. Now, the wages of female factory workers are more than four hundred. After the new year, they should increase a little bit more. If you work harder, you will get six dollars a month. Hundreds are fine.
Of course, for those easy jobs, the wages are still very low.
In some half-dead factories, the wages are only 200 yuan, and sometimes they cannot be paid.
Recently, in Anshan Town, a surprising thing happened - someone stole bran.
Even if he steals chaff, this person steals chaff, but he still eats it for himself.
As for why he did this... He was laid off and his family was out of food.
Shi Zhen is not so short of money this year, so he doesn't plan to bring things back to sell. He doesn't even want to drive a tractor back.
It's too much trouble after all.
But Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun wanted to make this money, so they took some things from the store and planned to take them back and sell them, and asked Shi Zhen to drive a tractor to send them back.
If the family wants to make money, they still need to be encouraged. This time, Shi Zhen drove the tractor and took the family back.
Shi Zhen and the others only set off on the 14th, and at this time, Shi Xingchao and Shi Daniu had already returned to their hometown.
During the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of people in the town, and the business of selling fried skewers is not bad, but Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen were thinking about their son's marriage, and they went back early because they didn't plan to make this money.
This year's Chinese New Year, the bus is much more crowded than last year, and many of those who drive the bus come out to work and go home for the New Year at this time.
When Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen came out last year, they didn't bring out all the bedding and other things at home. This time they only took a little change of clothes and gifts for relatives and friends.
Not to mention Shi Xinghuo, he brought a change of clothes himself, and the things on his back were both carried by Shi Dashan and Chen Xiaofen.
But Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan were different. The two of them carried a lot of things in their big bags and small bags, and these things...were still heavy.
Chen Xiaofen saw that Fang Mi's face was so thin and small that she was carrying it on her back and was about to be squashed by something. She couldn't bear to see it, so she couldn't help but say Shi Xingchao: "You stinky brat, you're so fine!"
Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan were carrying something like a duck in bacon sauce, exuding bursts of meaty aroma.
Because there is no land in their hometown, there are sheep, but not many pigs. After all, pigs need food.
Therefore, the price of pork is a little more expensive than that of Anshan Town.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the price of meat is definitely more expensive.
Of course, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, the price of meat in Anshan Town will also be expensive, so Shi Xingchao and Fang Miyan bought some meat more than a month in advance, made bacon, and killed more than a dozen people. Only ducks make sauce ducks, and this time they are specially carried back.
As for what to do with the back... Aren't they going to have a wedding
Regardless of how poor they were in the valleys, there were quite a few relatives, and when they held a wedding or funeral, the tables in the whole village had to be borrowed.
In the Shi Dashan family, there are 1,780 relatives in total, and at least 20 Eight Immortals Tables are required.
The gift money is usually enough for a wedding, and there will be more, but if you save a little on the wedding, won't you make more money
"Mom, didn't you always tell me not to spend money indiscriminately and to be diligent and thrifty?" Shi Xingchao asked rhetorically.
Chen Xiaofen: "..." She really thinks that children can't spend money indiscriminately, but she really didn't expect that her son could be like this!
She wanted her son to spend some money before letting him pay for the wedding. If she knew it would be like this... It's not as good as them doing the wedding.
After going back, buy a pig, and then buy some chickens and ducks, and keep them decent.
Well, her son came home with so many things on his back, so the wedding shouldn't be unseemly.
Chen Xiaofen decided to be out of sight, and after thinking about it, she said to Mi Yan, "Xiaoyan, I'll get one for you!"
Her daughter-in-law was probably mistreated at her parents' house, so she was a little reticent and only knew how to work.
Especially listen to her son.
Her son was stingy and asked her to make duck with bacon sauce, and she did it, and let them eat duck intestines and gizzards for a few days.
Now he is helping Shi Xingchao, carrying so many things...
If Fang Miyan knew that Chen Xiaofen thought so, she would probably be embarrassed.
Shi Xingchao agreed with her that when the time came, she received the gift money to deduct the cost, and let her save the remaining money, so she did her best.
Of course, neither of them likes to spend money, and they keep their passbooks together. It doesn't make much difference whose name is actually deposited.
They made several transfers, and when they finally returned to their hometown, many of their people who went out to work last year had already returned.
As soon as they arrived in the village, they met Shi Zhiqiang and his party, who also returned to their hometown and wore bright clothes.
Shi Xingchao was about the same age as Shi Zhiqiang, and they played together when they were young. Later, when he focused on making money, Shi Zhiqiang wandered around all day, and the two walked away.
Last year, Shi Zhiqiang and Zhao Qiujuan failed to get a blind date during the Chinese New Year, and Shi Xingchao was even more displeased with this person when he saw his yin and yang strangeness.
"Yo! Shi Xingchao came back to you!" Shi Zhiqiang saw Shi Xing facing them, he said hello first, and said, "Why did you carry so many things back? You can't do it outside and plan to come back?"
"You think too much." Shi Xing said.
Shi Zhiqiang giggled: "Looking at you like this, you know that you don't do well outside... Tsk tsk, working in a small place, what can you do? Let me tell you, we work in the provincial capital, and we earn that much. Call more than one! Five hundred yuan a month!"
When Shi Zhiqiang mentioned that he earned five hundred a month, he was very proud.
He felt that last year Shi Zhen and the others said that they made a lot of money, and it was all false. The money outside was not so easy to earn!
Shi Xingchao: "..." Don't talk about him, Fang Miyan cooks at Shi Zhen's place, and then embroiders sweaters when he is free. There are four or five hundred a month, and Shi Zhen's food is also packaged at Shi Zhen's place. The food is very good!
And Shi Zhen has said that when there are more people next year, Fang Miyan will cook for them, and they will pay more, four hundred a month.
As for his parents, his sister, and him, they earn even more.
Now their family earns the least, but his brother, but his brother can also increase his salary next year.
"The provincial capital is so big, there are construction sites everywhere, and houses are being built everywhere. We have jobs every month, and we are not free at all. We earn more than 5,000 in a year." Shi Zhiqiang was full of high spirits.
"Congratulations!" Shi Xingchao glanced at his tanned face and said, "I only earn 10,000 a year, which is really average."
He earned more than 10,000 yuan last year.
When he married Fang Miyan, some of the money was in various factories and was not settled, but at the end of the year, all the money was settled.
He made about fifteen thousand a year.
Shi Zhiqiang's face turned dark: "You brag! You can't brag like that! How can you earn so much in a small place?"
Those who went out with Shi Zhiqiang did not believe what Shi Xingchao said.
They worked so hard that they could earn less than 500 a month. Shi Xingchao had a small white face, obviously he didn't do much work, how much money could he have
"Believe it or not," Shi Xingchao smiled, "By the way, I also found a partner outside and brought it back to marry."
As he spoke, he pointed at Fang Miyan.
Fang Miyan smiled at Shi Zhiqiang.
When in the county seat, Chen Xiaofen specially asked Fang Miyan to change into new clothes. In order to prevent others from feeling that their family treated the new daughter-in-law badly, she only asked Fang Miyan to carry two light bags.
Fang Miyan has been raised in the Shi family for more than a month and has grown some flesh. She is smiling now, not to mention how beautiful she is, but she is definitely not ugly.
Best of all, it's from outside!
The girls outside are not willing to marry into their mountains!
Shi Zhiqiang, who was not married yet, saw his eyes turn red.
However, Shi Xingchao replied: "I don't earn a lot, my parents earn it, that's more than one, maybe 20,000 a year!"
Shi Zhiqiang snorted coldly: "Bragging!"
The words were not speculative for a long time, and Shi Zhiqiang stopped talking to Shi Xingchao on the way. It was not until they walked near the village that Shi Zhiqiang raised his chest and became stunned again.
As soon as they entered the village, all the people in the village surrounded them.
Last year, Shi Dalin was the envy of the villagers, and now Shi Dalin and the others haven't come back... Everyone went to talk to Shi Dashan.
Saying this... they can't do it with envy.
Shi Dashan, their husband and wife, can earn 2,000 a month!
That's two thousand!
This is too much!
"Do you really think money is so easy to earn? We earn five hundred a month in the provincial capital." Shi Zhiqiang was a little angry.
Shi Zhiqiang felt that when he said that, the people around him would definitely look at him enviously.
Five hundred a month, which is definitely not a small amount.
In their village, there are so many that the whole family can't earn five hundred after working hard for a year.
However... the villagers glanced at him, but no one paid him any attention.
Shi Zhiqiang was a little dumbfounded.
It was Shi Zhiqiang's mother, who pulled Shi Zhiqiang aside and asked him, "Aqiang, you earn five hundred a month, why didn't you send the money back? Not even a single phone call! How much did you bring back when you went home this time?"
"Mom, the provincial capital has a lot of expenses. Five hundred a month is not enough." Shi Zhiqiang said embarrassedly.
Shi Zhiqiang and the others went to the provincial capital. At first, they didn't find a job. Later... they were dragged to the construction site.
The salary offered to them by the construction site is indeed 500 a month, but it is always paid later, and they have to give the foreman a little favor in order to keep their jobs.
Forget it, their salary, the foreman also deducted 200 yuan every month, saying that it would not be paid to them until the end of the year.
Although the construction site is covered with food, the food is particularly poor. They have been working hard, eating so much that they are too hungry to sleep at night, so they always have to buy additional food.
Sometimes the construction site does not work and does not provide meals, so they can only buy and eat.
In addition, buy some daily necessities... It costs money!
In the first month of filial piety, there are more than 200 left in the first month... Shi Zhiqiang, who has a little requirement for life, spends a little money and it will be gone. Among the people who work with him, those who are very economical and only buy steamed buns when they are hungry can only eat. Save a hundred dollars a month.
That's fine. By the end of the year, the foreman deducted 1,000 of their salary of 2,000 from the foreman, saying that it would not be paid until next year.
He now has only one thousand yuan in his hand.
"Who can spend 500 a month! Shi Zhen offers Shi Daniel a salary of 300 a month, and Shi Daniel can send it back in full, and sometimes there are bonuses... This year, Shi Daniel The sum of the remittances received by the family adds up to at least 4,000!" Shi Zhiqiang's mother said.
The money that Shi Daniu sent back was already four thousand, and the money he took at the end of the year has not been sent back!
Everyone in the village knows this. After all, every time the post office sends a remittance slip, everyone will watch it.
Because of this, Shi Zhiqiang said that he earns 5,000 a year, and everyone doesn't feel it at all - isn't this what it should be!
"That... That's Shi Daniel's too much."
"Shi Duofu, who loves to spend money, has sent back more than 2,000 yuan one after another." Shi Zhiqiang's mother said, "He also said on the phone that there will be bonuses for the New Year, and he will take them back."
Shi Zhiqiang: "..."
"By the way, Shi Dalin's family has bought a house and opened a shop in Anshan Town, and installed a telephone... That's amazing!"
Shi Zhiqiang didn't want to say a word, and listened to his mother to talk about Shi Zhen's family.
This year, although Shi Zhen and the others did not return to the village, their legends have been circulating in the village.
After Shi Zhiqiang and the others went out, there was no news. The people who went out to work with Shi Zhen were different. Every one or two months, a remittance slip was sent back.
The most important thing is... Shi Dalin actually installed a telephone!
People who went to work with Shi Zhen have all called back. Shi Daniu and his family can also call if they want to contact Shi Daniu... How wonderful!
What about her son? Just disappeared!
Shi Zhiqiang's mother kept talking.
Shi Zhiqiang suddenly felt that the thousand yuan in his hand was not fragrant.
However, even if Shi Zhiqiang only brought back 1,000 yuan, the villagers were envious, and there were more people in the village who wanted to go out to work.
When Shi Daniu and the others came back, they talked about what they had done this year... The most important thing for the villagers was to go to work with Shi Zhen.
People who went out to work with Shi Zhiqiang said that their food on the construction site was particularly poor, but Shi Zhen’s side was different. Shi Daniu and the others ate meat!
Look at Shi Daniu, one by one, the flesh on his arms is bulging!
However, even if Shi Zhen didn't take them out, they would have to follow Shi Zhiqiang and the others to work in the provincial capital.
Shi Zhiqiang and the others earned a lot!
Better than they stay in the mountains.
