Lin Duzhong came back with a piece of beef with a smile on his face. He found it on the road. He didn't know whose cow had broken its leg and couldn't survive, so they slaughtered it and sold the meat.
Beef is not often found, so I won’t miss this fresh one. I bought more than two kilograms.
When he came back, Lin Houpu was already there. Seeing his father's cheerful look, he couldn't help but feel depressed: "Dad, how come you are not affected at all?"
Lin Duzhong exclaimed, took the meat into the kitchen, and handed it to the nanny. "What's wrong?"
Lin Houpu sighed, "What's wrong? How could Chuanbai have such a big idea? He was a researcher, but he resigned again. Isn't the money he made enough? He went to open a pharmaceutical factory again."
Lin Duzhong didn't think it was a big deal. "He just changed his workplace. In reality, it's still the same. He's still a researcher."
Lin Houpu: "Yes, he is still a researcher, and his wife manages other matters." Lin Houpu felt his heart was even more filled with anxiety. "How could he be so careless? He handed all matters to his wife. Doesn't he want to try doing it himself?" After tasting the power, it would be difficult to go back. Now, it looks like the woman is strong and the man is weak. Does he have the face to say this?
Lin Duzhong didn't care: "They live their own lives, they know the best, as long as they are suitable, it's fine. You can't deny that your son doesn't care about these things."
That’s what I said.
But Lin Houpu still felt that he was having a myocardial infarction, as his son had never followed his wishes.
In the past, he wanted him to work in a machinery factory. With him around, he wouldn't have to rely on backstage, but his career would be smooth. But he refused and went to work as a pharmacy clerk in a hospital, an ordinary job. Fortunately, he was admitted to university, and he and his wife were admitted to university together. I don't know how many people envied him, and he was relieved.
As long as he could get into university, his future would not be too bad. Although his son did not listen to his advice and went to study medicine on his own, Lin Houpu thought it was okay.
Later, he passed the postgraduate entrance examination. He was a true intellectual and a learned man. For a while, he, who usually had a stern face, could not help but smile whenever he heard others talking about his second son. But his happiness did not last long, because his daughter-in-law resigned from such a good job, opened her own restaurant and became a self-employed person.
This is incredible!
If he had known about it in advance, he would have definitely tried to stop it, but his second son and his wife acted without authorization, so he had no chance to stop it and could only accept it with frustration.
At that time, he was worried that his second son would quit his job and open a restaurant with him. Fortunately, he didn't do that. Moreover, his second daughter-in-law was a capable person, and she ran the business vigorously without him providing any help.
He seemed to have no contact with her here, but he always had some friends who would bring him some news sporadically, such as how much tax she paid in a year? What did she do? What industry was involved? How much foreign exchange did she earn for them...
This guy is considered a big shot in the Special Administrative Region, which makes him feel very complicated.
A woman with such courage really made her way. No matter which family she was in, it could be said that there was only one capable person in the family. But looking back at his son, he was noble, but being a noble researcher meant that he didn't have much money. Although his social status was higher than that of his daughter-in-law, this was a point of comfort for him. His son always had one thing over his daughter-in-law. Now, he had thrown away his advantage.
Lin Houpu is worried about their future. If this continues for a long time, will their relationship still be harmonious?
There are few women who are more capable than men and few couples who can always get along harmoniously.
Too little.
At this time Li Yujiao came back with a few bags in her hands. She had gone shopping and bought some clothes.
Some are hers, some are her son’s, and some are Lin Houpu’s.
Now that there is a nanny at home, she is freed from housework. Seeing that Lin Houpu's face was not happy, Li Yujiao knew what he was unhappy about. Nothing big happened at home recently. If there was anything to say, it was that Lin Chuanbai resigned.
Li Yujiao coughed and said, "I heard from others today that their health products are selling very well over there. The ginseng tonic wine and ginseng nourishing pills are all sold out."
Lin Duzhong: "I've heard about this, too. Business is indeed very good."
Li Yujiao: "They must have made a lot of money. I heard that they spent hundreds of thousands on advertising. I wonder how long it will take to make back the money." Li Yujiao couldn't imagine what it meant to spend hundreds of thousands on advertising.
"Dad, if they are so rich, can they help Tiandong? He is also busy attracting investment. If they are willing to go, he will definitely give them the greatest policy benefits."
Lin Duzhong didn't say anything. He watched from the side and Lin Houpu coughed and said, "Their eldest brother is in the development zone, also attracting investment, but they didn't invest. They are looking at the location. They are in the south, too far away, and out of reach." The eldest brother didn't invest much, and the investment environment on the younger son's side is not as good as that on the eldest son's side.
Li Yujiao's face looked a little grim. "How do you know if you don't try? Maybe he has what they need."
After graduation, Lin Tiandong was assigned to a northwestern city. Li Yujiao had always hoped that he could be transferred back to the capital as soon as possible so that the family could be reunited.
Moreover, she was arranging for him to find a wife. Now that they were so far apart, she also had a job here and would go over to urge him occasionally, but Lin Tiandong didn't take it seriously and was always perfunctory, leaving her helpless.
Li Yujiao wanted to find him a wife who was of equal social status and could provide him with support. Her son was so handsome and promising, there was no shortage of good girls he could marry. Li Yujiao was anxious. Why wasn't her son smart? He had already fallen far behind. What would happen if he didn't catch up in time?
He needs to be promoted as soon as possible, otherwise how will he compete with his older brother? It has not been decided who will inherit his father's network of contacts in the future. If he gets married earlier, with his daughter-in-law's family around, or has another grandson to take care of here, his father will develop feelings for him after spending a long time with him. He will definitely have a closer relationship with this grandson than other grandchildren who did not grow up around him. Will he still be afraid that Lin Houpu will favor this youngest son?
It's no wonder that Li Yujiao is anxious. Her child was born too late. Lin Guangbai's child is a few years younger than Lin Tiandong and has started working this year. In a few years, Lin Chuanbai's child will also take the college entrance examination. One after another, they are chasing after her. Li Yujiao needs an ally, an ally who will naturally stand on her side.
Lin Houpu's face didn't look good: "Tell me what he has that his second brother can use? Yellow mud?"
Li Yujiao was furious.
How come my son was assigned to such a place?
Lin Guangbai received a huge package, which contained several bottles of exquisitely packaged ginseng tonic wine and ginseng nourishing pills, as well as some other miscellaneous items.
The two brothers have a good relationship and have maintained the habit of express delivery. However, in the past, Lin Guangbai sent more things from Shanghai to his younger brother. After Lin Chuanbai got married, especially after he went to college, Lin Guangbai received more packages, which now exceed those he sent to his second brother. As his second brother's wife's business grew, the value of the things they sent also became higher and higher.
Occasionally, Lin Guangbai would ask his second brother to bring some things for him.
This time, the ginseng tonic wine was sent over there. I used some of it myself and gave some of it to others.
Sent to some of his friends and leaders.
People in their line of work are really busy when they are busy. If they work for too long, their bodies will not be able to hold on. Not only will the effect of this drink be immediate, but you will feel the effect after drinking it for two days.
Apart from being expensive, there are no other disadvantages.
But at this level, if you buy a bottle, you can drink it for a long time and it won’t be unaffordable.
When Yun Jing saw the things inside, she smiled and was in a good mood, because the things sent over reminded her of the choice she had made before.
Before, they gritted their teeth and spent all their family savings to buy two shops with their second brother and his wife. They were so nervous and stressed out at that time. Now the rent is rising so fast that it is already equal to their loan. They don't have to pay extra money every month to repay the loan, and at this rate of increase, it will soon exceed the amount they have to repay.
She was now thinking about something else. She watched Lin Guangbai fumbling with the bottle of ginseng tonic wine. "Your brother also said that he would lend us the money and we would pay it back slowly in the future." She looked at Lin Guangbai. "It would be great if your son got married and had a new house. This is his uncle, not an outsider. We can pay it back slowly as a family in the future. It won't take long to pay it back."
It turned out that Lin Chuanbai had called and talked about this matter before, saying that judging from the increase in the rent of that shop, the price of houses and shops would definitely go up. His eldest nephew Qian Jing graduated this year and was assigned a job in Shanghai. He would not be transferred so quickly and it was unknown when he would start a family. So if they were not doing well financially, they should help buy a house for him to get married.
This way they will have two houses in Shanghai.
If Yuejing is also in Shanghai in the future, the brother and sister will each have a set.
As public servants, they have no worries about food and clothing, but they are not that wealthy.
The two previous shops had already drained all of the family’s assets, and they even had to borrow some money from Yun Jing’s parents.
I really can’t afford to buy another house.
Lin Guangbai knew that this was his second brother's way of helping his elder brother, but he was a little too embarrassed to do so.
Yun Jing knew what Lin Guangbai was worried about, and she emphasized again and again: "This is your own brother. You helped him a lot in the past. I still remember that you spent several months' salary to buy him a watch. Now your brother is making money. For him, this may be his salary for one or several months. We will write an IOU and the money will definitely be paid back. With a new house, it will be much easier to marry a wife. When your daughter-in-law comes home and gives birth to a grandson, if you still live in our house, it will not be big enough. What will you do then? Let your daughter live in the living room? The living room is not big either."
Lin Guangbai still didn't say anything, so Yun Jing continued, "It's not like before when college students were rare and could be assigned a house wherever they went. He's a newcomer, so I don't know when it will be his turn..."
He kept mumbling, mumbling like a wheel, "We won't owe the money for too long. We already have a shop, right? The rent will continue to rise. We can save for a few years and pay back whatever we save. If you don't feel comfortable asking, let me do it. I'm not afraid of losing face."
Lin Guangbai finally spoke: "What nonsense! Of course I should be the first to speak." They are brothers, so it is easier for them to speak.
"Lend it to me. We still need to buy this house. Let's both sign the IOU and pay it back slowly in the future."
Yun Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say that.
Lin Chuanbai said it was a loan out of consideration for Lin Guangbai's feelings. Considering the care that this elder brother had shown him in the past, it would be fine to give it away for free, but Lin Guangbai would definitely not accept it.
Now my eldest nephew Lin Qianjing has graduated, is working, and has a sweetheart. If he can solve the housing problem and does not indulge in luxury goods, he will basically have no financial difficulties in the future.
Moreover, the house prices in Shanghai will only go up. Even if they fall, they will not fall much.
Lin Qianjing soon learned the news.
Let him choose.
Lin Qianjing: “…”
Buying a house is such a big thing, and they actually let him choose it by himself?
And can their family afford so much money?
After receiving a call from his mother, Lin Qianjing finally understood where the money came from. He was allowed to choose the floor, but he had to tell them when the final decision was made.
This house is for his marriage, and he happily went to see the house. He now lives in a dormitory, a double room. If he is not busy, he will go home and live with his sister.
He is still dating his current sweetheart. They met through their boss. So far, they are getting along well and he has thought about getting married.
His previous thought was to apply for a couple's room when the time comes, but of course it would be best if he had his own new house.
As for the IOU to his second uncle, he will also sign it and pay it back later.
Lin Qianjing didn't look for too long. At this time, the commercial housing was not too dazzled. Besides, it couldn't be too far away from his workplace, so it was an easier choice.
The house was booked, and soon after, news came out that he was getting engaged.
After the house was bought, Lin Guangbai made a special report. Their salaries were limited, and the money to buy the house was not something that ordinary people could come up with. He had to explain that this was a loan from his brother, and not the result of improper bribery.
This news eventually reached Li Yujiao's ears, and her heart suddenly turned sour.
The house they live in now is nice, but it is only for working people. When Lin Houpu retires from this position, the house will be given to the next person.
By then, the couple can still go to the retirement home, but what about her son?
You still have to find a way to find a place to stay.
Lin Duzhong had already planned for this. He bought a small courtyard in the capital for his grandson and built a two-story building.
Lin Guangbai and Lin Chuanbai also got such a two-story house. To be honest, Lin Tiandong's two-story house is more valuable now, because Lin Guangbai and Lin Chuanbai's house was built in a small county town in Baishi County. Now Lin Guangbai's two-story house is rented to his cousin's family at a low price, and the two-story house that Lin Chuanbai used for his wedding is now empty.
Everyone is the same. He will build a house for his grandson, which will definitely be enough for him to get married and have children.
Even though the location is not very good, it is still better than a small county town.
Located at the foot of the emperor, the prices of houses here will steadily increase unless there are special circumstances.
Now the two-story building has been built. It was built by flattening the original farmyard. The surrounding environment is naturally also a farmyard. Comparing it with the high-end residential buildings in Shanghai, Li Yujiao felt more and more sour. Lin Houpu is not the kind of person who would embezzle or accept bribes. They really can't afford to spend so much money to buy a house.
As for saying that the money was borrowed, Li Yujiao didn't believe it at all. They said it was borrowed, so it was borrowed. And they were not there to pay back the money, so how could she know whether the money was paid back or not.
Lin Duzhong had some understanding of her thoughts and could only shake his head helplessly.
She was really worried. Her son had three sons in total. The first two had already established themselves, but this youngest son had only been a few years old. She would definitely make plans for him.
There is still time before you retire, and even if you really retire, you won’t be forgotten immediately.
The daughter-in-law also has to worry about her grandson having no place to live... Maybe she is not unaware of this, but she is just jealous of Chuan Bai for giving his eldest brother a house for nothing.
After all, things like houses cannot be confused with other things. It is a huge sum of money of more than 200,000 yuan.
Lin Chuanbai intended to help his elder brother improve his financial situation. At his level, it was not difficult to get money, but they stuck to their original intentions and knew how much money they could get.
It is difficult to buy a house for children, but it is different with his help.
His income is honest and clean.
And Lin Chuanbai had a "premeditated" plan.
He also didn't want Lin Guangbai to remember the money and think about paying it back every year. It was not difficult to make money at this time by taking advantage of the trend, such as stocks.
There are two types of subscription coupons, one is registered and the other is bearer. The bearer one is easier to circulate. Lin Chuanbai took out tens of thousands of dollars to buy them for his elder brother.
After another year or so, when the stock price starts to grow wildly and the daily increase of 0.05 is reached, he can sell it out. It does not have to be at the highest point, just sell it at the middle to upper point. At that time, Lin Guangbai can easily pay back the money for buying the house and even make an additional down payment.
This is the advantage of knowing future trends, which is another kind of golden finger like a prophet. For example, you know that a certain stock is worth one dollar now, but you know it will rise to one hundred dollars in a year. Then you buy one hundred at this time, and you will get a hundred times in a year, and ten thousand dollars in your hands. If you want to get rich, it's very simple.
…
As word of mouth spread, some people who had cooperative relationships with Yu Xiangan also asked her for convenience, such as Lei Ming, Liang Yuan, and Clayt.
After Lei Ming completed that big order, he and his brother retired from the business.
After retiring, he bought a large truck and started a freight business.
He said before that he wanted to open a big supermarket, which was not wrong. He could make a lot less money by doing both, but it was more stable. They still had to travel far and wide for freight transportation, but here, the risk of encountering bandits was much lower than taking the international train.
After having this decent business, Lei Ming and his brothers brought their families to live with them and had wives, children and a warm home.
The business they run is diverse.
I still have dealings with Yu Xiangan, and their single business is not small.
With such a relationship, if he wants to buy health products, he naturally has to save some money.
Liang Yuan bought it for her elders in her family as gifts.
After drinking it once, Clete became interested in this magical tonic: "My uncle needs it more than I do. If he drinks it once, he will definitely fall in love with it. This is really a magical thing, and it's not a medicine. Do you still need to invest?"
Yu Xiangan shook his head, and Clet could only express regret, "That's such a pity."
He saw the huge profits in this industry, but he couldn't participate this time.
"Yu, next time if you need a partner, please be sure to contact me."
Yu Xiangan also tasted the sweetness of the health care products industry.
In addition to the top-quality ginseng series, she wanted to add more products, but unfortunately, this was not something she could do just by wanting to.
This requires a recipe.
It would be too slow to study them one by one by himself, so Yu Xiangan spared no expense to purchase them.
Just waiting to see if there are any surprising results.
…
When the health care products industry was booming, Chen Xiaoyang didn't feel the heat at all. High-end health care products were too far away from her. She just felt irritated when she was around the Wuwei factory every day. It wasn't because of anything else. Everything was going well at her work. It's just that she had to go home tomorrow and she didn't want to go home.
But her mother had already come over and given her an ultimatum, telling her that she must go back or else she would be in trouble. If she came to the factory to make trouble, Chen Xiaoyang would be embarrassed.
In order to avoid this situation, she could only go back obediently, hoping that she would be merciful with her words. Chen Xiaoyang went to the market to buy some delicious food.
When Chen Xiaoyang's nephews and nieces saw the things she brought back, they surrounded her and cheered, calling her "Aunt" all the time.
Chen Xiaoyang knew that they wanted to eat delicious food, so she did not disappoint them and shared some of the snacks she brought back with them. When they got them, their mouths were even sweeter.
Chen Xiaoyang's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw her like this. "Tell me, why are you so depressed? Look how cute your nephews and nieces are, right? Why don't you have one of your own? You've become too independent and you don't even listen to what your parents say."
Chen Xiaoyang's face immediately fell. Ever since she turned 20, her mother had been urging her to find a partner.
In the past, her mother thought that she would get married later so that she could help the family for a few more years. However, after her brother and sister-in-law went out to find jobs one after another, her job was not so important anymore. Even if they couldn't find a job with such good benefits and high salary as hers, it was not difficult to find an ordinary job and they could get a fixed salary every month.
This directly caused her mother to become anxious about her increasing age.
"You are already over 20 years old, an old maid. You have so many co-workers and colleagues around you, you can find any one of them. I don't arrange marriages for you. As long as the person has good character, the rest can be worked out slowly. You have to pay attention. Do you still want to go back to the village and find a farmer? You finally got out of the fields..."
Chen Xiaoyang sighed helplessly. She knew that her mother would continue to talk about the same old things. "Mom, I'm concerned about this matter. I'm looking for it."
Her mother's face turned cold when she heard this: "You are looking for one. Oh, how many times have you said this? Have you ever brought a man home for me to see? No! Are you really looking for one seriously? If you keep delaying, you will be an old maid, don't you know that?"
Chen Xiaoyang added: "A rich old girl is different from an ordinary old girl. There are many people like me in our factory."
Her mother: "There are so many of them, there won't be too few young men, why can't you find a son-in-law for me?"
Coming back again, Chen Xiaoyang said, "Oh, Mom, I remembered that I saw an old classmate on the road. I'll go talk to her." She slipped out immediately. She really didn't have the heart to find a partner now. It would take a lot of effort to get married and start a family. She was planning for a promotion.
Wouldn’t it be great to get a promotion and a raise in salary?
Once she gets a promotion and a raise, she will be able to find a better partner.
Chen Xiaoyang left home and walked along a random road. When people saw her, many of them greeted her.
"Xiaoyang, are you having a day off today?"
"Xiaoyang, the eggplants at my aunt's house are growing well. Take a few back. I remember you like them."
"Xiaoyang, it's nice to see you. Will you come back next week? If you come back, please bring some things for me."
…
As he walked, Chen Xiaoyang arrived at the foot of the bamboo mountain. Looking at the bamboo forests, Chen Xiaoyang thought of the new cold-mixed sour bamboo shoots launched by their factory. It was a packaged snack that could be eaten raw or made into a cold dish to go with rice.
There is also a new type of hot and sour noodle which also contains bamboo shoots. She has tried it and it tastes good.
She walked up the mountain, thinking of digging some bamboo shoots to take back. After walking for a while, she saw others digging. Chen Xiaoyang slapped her head suddenly. Oh, what a brain!
She came empty-handed. Did she dig bamboo shoots with her hands?
Chen Xiaoyang turned around and went back to get a hoe and a bamboo basket. Halfway there, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the bamboo mountain.
It seems that their factory is now purchasing bamboo shoots, they have some in their village!
The road to their village is quite convenient and the distance is not far. There are several bamboo mountains in their village. Every year, villagers come here to dig bamboo shoots and take them back.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoyang became excited. If this could work, then her promotion would be secure!
Thinking of this, she started to jog. When she passed by the door of her house, her mother saw her running away and said angrily, "You damn girl, if you have the guts, don't come back!"
Someone below recommended a place, and Yu Xiangan wanted to go there for an on-site inspection, so he came here in person.
Yu Xiangan had an impression of Chen Xiaoyang, because every time she inspected Chen Xiaoyang's group in the factory, she would see her looking at her with those sparkling and admiring eyes, which had never changed.
After Chen Xiaoyang communicated with the factory, he learned that the boss would come to inspect in person. He immediately told the village head and the village party secretary about this matter. After that, restrictions were immediately imposed on the bamboo mountain and bamboo forest in their village. During this period, no one was allowed to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. If they could sell them, everyone could share the money, which was much more tempting than the bamboo shoots.
They are not short of food now. They go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots more for the taste rather than to fill their stomachs. Now is not the time when they were hungry.
When Yu Xiangan arrived at the village, the village chief and other village cadres were waiting at the entrance of the village. This kind of scene was quite common. Yu Xiangan met them and shook hands with them. Without further ado, he went up the mountain.
The continuous bamboo mountains have created a bamboo sea. When the breeze blows, the bamboo sea ripples. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the scene is refreshing.
There are so many bamboos here. Yu Xiangan thought of something else and asked Chen Xiaoyang: "Do you have bamboo cicada flowers here? If so, we will collect them too."
This is good stuff.
