When Liu Yanran and the others returned to Su City, Liu Chuncheng, who had returned to Sichuan Province to pick someone up, also came. He had successfully interviewed for a car factory in Shangjing City and had received a letter of employment. He would apply for early graduation as soon as his junior year was over.
This time he went back and brought several uncles, aunts and cousins over. Because the distance was far, this meeting might be the last time they would see each other in this life, and some people were reluctant to come because they were reluctant to spend money.
Although Liu Chengmin gave 500 to each family at that time, since the family had no children and grandchildren, all the money had been distributed to the younger children for them to buy houses and get married. Liu Yanran contracted all the expenses for this trip to Suzhou City. Now everyone has gathered together, and Liujiaopo is very lively tonight.
Liu Chuncheng called a car and took the people from the Liu family in Sichuan Province to Liujiaopo, and then stopped in front of his third uncle's house. Everyone got out of the car, their faces filled with joy and anticipation.
"Third Uncle, I'm back with my uncles and aunts!" Liu Chuncheng shouted into the yard.
A group of Liu family members who had known the news for a long time came out and found their relatives to shake hands or hug.
Third Uncle came forward and said with a smile, "Welcome back, everyone!" Then he turned to Liu Chuncheng and said, "Chuncheng, you've worked so hard!"
"It's not hard. This is what I should do." Liu Chuncheng replied with a smile.
Then, the uncle led everyone into the house, which had already been decorated warmly and comfortably. The table was filled with various delicacies, and the aroma was fragrant.
"Wow, so many delicious foods!" the children shouted excitedly.
"Come on, these are the foods you loved to eat when you were little, come and try them." Third Uncle greeted everyone warmly.
Everyone sat together, savoring the food, chatting and sharing their recent news. Laughter and conversation filled the room.
After dinner, everyone sat together in the yard, enjoying the tranquil scenery under the starry sky.
"The night sky here is so beautiful!" someone exclaimed.
"Yes, the starry sky becomes beautiful when I am with my family," another person echoed.
Liu Yanran felt immensely satisfied watching everyone's happy faces. She knew this gathering was incredibly meaningful to everyone, perhaps their last time together. But no matter what, this family bond would forever be etched in everyone's hearts.
One of the reasons why Liu Chengmin came here this time was to give state subsidies to all the brothers in the clan. Now there are 23 large families in Liujiaopo, and if divided into small families, there are almost 100 households, because people have many children in this era, with as few as two or three and as many as ten.
Each extended family was given one thousand yuan, and how to distribute the money was left to each household. Ryu Seung-min thought he had done his best.
In fact, many collateral branches had sold all their property when they left. According to common sense, the main family did not need to share money with them.
However, Liu Chengmin always remembered that the eldest son Chunping and the second son Chunling were able to survive thanks to the generous donations and assistance of the villagers of Liujiaopo.
Therefore, he regarded this distribution of money as a kind of reward for everyone. As expected, everyone was very happy, even more excited than meeting long-lost relatives.
These people are simple farmers who work hard all year round but can hardly save much money. Now with this money, many families can repair their houses, marry wives and have children.
In the past, due to their poor family background, many young men had to wait until they were older to get married. Now, they are finally confident enough to ask matchmakers to help introduce them to potential partners.
Coincidentally, a rare wedding took place in Liujiapo these past two days. It was the great-great-grandson of my uncle, Liu Jiakang, a carpenter in town, who married his master's daughter, Li Xiuxiu. As a city girl, Li Xiuxiu was quite courageous to marry Liu Jiakang.
Liujiaopo is the poorest village in the surrounding area. As they are outsiders, they cultivate the land they have reclaimed themselves, so the harvest is naturally not as good as that of other villages. Moreover, because their ancestors were capitalists, the Liu family has always acted low-key and acted as poor as possible.
The girls from the nearby villages basically looked down on the boys from Liujiaopo, and the boys from the nearby villages also bullied the boys from Liujiaopo, making fun of them for not being able to find wives and saying that if they did, they would marry ugly women.
Usually, women who have many brothers or are not favored at home will be married to Liujiaopo, but only these women who marry into Liujiaopo can truly understand the beauty of this place.
First, the Liujiapo family was very united, with no intrigue or scheming. Second, the men in the village would never beat their wives, as the Liu family was a family of scholars, and their upbringing meant they would never abuse women.
In addition, if a woman gave birth to a girl, the Liu family would not look down on her. On the contrary, they would give her more love and care.
When there are eggs at home, they will be given priority to pregnant women; if there are other delicious dishes, they will not be enjoyed only by boys, but will be distributed fairly to everyone.
Although life in Liujiaopo may seem a bit hard in the eyes of outsiders, these women feel extremely happy and are willing to live such a life.
Liu Jiakang has also accumulated a family fortune over the years. He is 25 years old now. He started working as a carpenter apprentice after graduating from high school at the age of 18. He was an apprentice for two years with a monthly salary of 8 yuan. Later, he was converted to a regular employee. From the third to the fifth year, his salary was 28 yuan a month, and in the sixth year it was 38 yuan a month. This year it increased to 45 yuan a month. He handed over all this money to his family, and his parents also helped him save it, a total of 2,196 yuan.
