Hearing the shock in his uncle's words, Cui Yuan, who was sitting next to him, nodded affirmatively and said, "If this car is the top model, it would cost more than 700,000 yuan and you would have to pay the full amount. You may not even be able to buy it if you pay in installments!"
At this moment, everyone's hearts could not calm down for a long time.
Even if Jiang Feng bought the car with his own money, they would not be so shocked. But a car worth more than 700,000 yuan was actually given by a blind date client. This kind of generosity was beyond their imagination!
Jiang's mother couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Feng, which big customer is so generous?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Mom, you also know this big client. He is the big boss named Wei in Panzhou, Guangdong Province. You should still remember him, right?"
Jiang's mother suddenly realized, "So it was that big boss. No wonder!"
Jiang's father also nodded in understanding. After all, Boss Wei had paid 50,000 or 60,000 yuan when he asked for the matchmaker, so it was not too outrageous for him to thank the matchmaker in this way.
The young aunt and the other aunt could not help asking, and then Jiang's mother, with a beaming face, recounted in detail the story of Boss Wei coming to ask for a matchmaker.
When they heard that Boss Wei had spent fifty or sixty thousand on hiring a matchmaker, the aunt and the others' eyelids twitched wildly, but then they all understood.
After discussing this topic, Jiang Feng asked his father, "Dad, have you ever calculated how much it will cost to build this house and to landscape the surrounding area?"
Father Jiang said: "It will probably cost around 300,000."
Jiang Feng nodded when he heard this. The dimensions of the duplex villas of his family and his uncle's family are 27m×16.6m, with a total area of 418.42㎡, a construction area of 1186.28㎡, and a building height of 11.52m. Taking into account the decoration and landscaping, it is normal to need a labor cost of about 300,000 yuan.
"Then I'll send the wages to Uncle Wei later!"
The uncle said with a headache: "Xiao Feng, I will transfer the wages to you later!"
The cost of the house in his hometown, before calculating the labor costs, was just over one million for the materials for the main building and decoration as well as the landscaping costs. Even if he only needed to pay one-third, it would still be over three hundred thousand.
Now if we take into account the wages, the cost will be over 400,000 yuan.
Although both he and his wife are civil servants with very good salaries, spending more than 400,000 yuan at once is still a lot of pressure.
Jiang Feng didn't say anything about taking on the responsibility alone, but smiled and said, "Uncle, just transfer 60,000 to me!"
The uncle knew that his nephew was taking care of him. Now that his nephew had made it, he was no longer polite to him. "Okay, I'll take advantage of you!"
The young aunt smiled even more when she heard this. Jiang Feng's words saved her family tens of thousands of dollars.
After the meal, Jiang Feng asked his mother to prepare the usual gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, while he went to the car to count out 280,000 yuan in cash and wrapped it in a specially customized red package.
After his mother brought the gifts and put them in the car, Jiang Feng drove directly to Wei Tiande's house.
In less than two minutes, Jiang Feng arrived at the Wei family.
Wei Tiande just happened to be sitting at the door smoking. Jiang Feng parked the car and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Uncle Wei!"
Wei Tiande was originally wondering who drove to his house, but when he saw it was Jiang Feng, he immediately stood up in surprise, "Xiao Feng, when did you come back?"
Jiang Feng pushed open the car door, holding gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol and tea in one hand and the customized big red envelope in the other, and got out of the car while smiling: "I just got home and came here after dinner. Uncle Wei, have you eaten?"
Wei Tiande went up to him and said, "I just ate it too!"
While the two were talking, Aunt Wei, Wei Mingjie, and Wei Yushan also came out after hearing the voice, and greeted Jiang Feng when they saw him.
Jiang Feng handed over the gift and the big red envelope and said, "Uncle Wei, Brother Jie, my house is very beautiful. You have worked so hard during this period. This is just a small gift. It is not a respect. I hope you will accept it!"
Wei Tiande and his son declined for a while before accepting the gifts and red envelopes.
Jiang Feng chatted with them for a while, asked about the recent situation of Wei Mingjie and Wei Yushan, and then said goodbye and left.
After Jiang Feng left, Wei Tiande held up the heavy red envelope in his hand and said, "Xiao Feng, this gift is not light!"
Aunt Wei couldn't help but said, "Take it apart and have a look!"
Wei Tiande nodded and led the way into the house, and Wei Mingjie followed with the gifts.
Aunt Wei and Wei Yushan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, looked at each other, and then closed the gate tacitly.
After entering the living room, Wei Tiande placed the heavy red envelope on the table, and then opened it under the gaze of Aunt Wei and the other three.
Suddenly, stacks of hundred-dollar bills with bank seals appeared in front of several people.
Wei Tiande counted them and found that there were twenty-eight stacks in total.
Then I counted the stack of loose bills without a seal, a total of eight thousand.
The total is two hundred and eighty thousand.
If we include those expensive cigarettes, alcohol, tea and other gifts, the total value must have exceeded 300,000.
After counting the money, Wei Tiande sighed: "Xiao Feng is really a particular person!"
Wei Mingjie nodded and said, "Yes, we originally helped him build a house to repay a favor, but in the end, we and my son made a lot of money. It seems that we can only owe this favor for now, and we will slowly repay it next time we find a chance!"
"That's the only way!"
…
That night, the news that Jiang Feng and his two siblings drove back in their own cars spread throughout Longshan Village in a blink of an eye.
Especially when they heard that the car Jiang Feng was driving, which was worth more than 700,000 yuan, was a gift from a big client, they were all amazed and felt that it was really an eye-opener.
In just one night, almost the entire Qinghe Town knew about it!
Jiang Feng, famous!
…
The next morning.
Jiang Feng's grandmother, aunt and uncle, uncle's family, and aunt's family all came over with hair buns, popcorn, firecrackers and other necessary gifts for the New Year.
All of my aunt's family members also rushed over.
Because the auspicious time for entering the fire had not arrived, the relatives of both sides visited the house first.
My uncle's house is relatively simple, with only two floors. After the second floor, there is no staircase to the third floor!
But even if it's just the first and second floors, the overall design and decoration are very beautiful, and my aunt's relatives all nodded secretly and were very envious when they saw it.
At Jiang Feng's house, Jiang's mother's relatives were also touring the house. The layout of the first and second floors was the same as that of his uncle's house. The only difference was that there was no staircase leading to the third floor on the second floor of his uncle's house, while Jiang Feng's house had an extra staircase leading to the third floor.
When they reached the third floor, Jiang's mother's relatives were amazed.
Since my uncle's family did not want the third floor, the third floor of this duplex villa belonged entirely to Jiang Feng's family. Therefore, the third floor was not separated by a wall like the first and second floors, but the wall was directly removed.
Therefore, the entire third floor is really spacious, especially the living room in the middle, which is simply a super large living room. It’s just that the decoration is not luxurious enough, otherwise it would be qualified to be called a luxury house.
Aunt Zhang Zhen looked at it and praised: "This money is really worth spending. Less than one million yuan can only buy an ordinary commercial house in the provincial capital, but in the countryside, it can build such a beautiful villa. The difference is really huge!"
Aunt Zhang Qin also said with emotion: "Who says it's not true? My son Junxiong is still thinking about buying a house in Zhonghai, but the land there is very expensive. A small toilet costs hundreds of thousands, and a house of 50 to 60 square meters starts at a million. How can he afford it?
With that much money, you can easily build a beautiful villa in the village. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to live in than that shabby house?"
My uncle Zhang Qiang laughed and said, "Sister, you can't say that. Zhonghai is a first-tier developed city. If we can really settle down there, our descendants will be reborn and become real city dwellers. The development prospects are much better than those of us rural people!"
Jiang Feng continued, "In fact, the strength of big cities lies in their education and medical levels, which are really incomparable to rural areas."
When it comes to education, my uncle Liu Jianrong, who has been a primary school principal for more than a decade, has something to say, "Xiao Feng is right. There is a huge gap between the education level in rural areas and that in big cities.
And we have to admit that people in big cities are generally of higher quality than those in rural areas. They also attach great importance to their children's education, starting from an early age, for fear that their children will lose at the starting line.
In the same class, all children love to study, so it is hard for them not to excel.
In contrast, in rural areas, most parents do not attach importance to education, or do not have the conditions to do so.
Even if your own child is very outstanding and you attach great importance to your child's education, the key is that your child's classmates are not good enough!
When classmates around them love to play and not study, children who love to study will also be affected and start to play around and not focus on studying, so their grades will naturally be poor.
Therefore, now any parents with a bit of vision are desperately trying to buy houses in the city. These parents are not pursuing city life, but just to provide a good learning environment for their children. "
As a student at a prestigious university, Jiang Feng also felt the same way. "My uncle hit the nail on the head. Only about one-tenth of my university classmates were from rural areas. This shows that it is very difficult for rural people to get into a good university."
My uncle said, "This is the gap between rural education and urban education. It is very difficult to change the current educational bias in a short period of time. The teacher's educational level is one aspect, and the parents' attention is another..."
This education is a major issue that deserves great attention. Jiang Feng and his uncle could not stop talking about it until the auspicious time for entering the fire was almost approaching. Then they stopped the discussion with reluctance and went downstairs with everyone else.
When the time hit 9:18, the Jiang family and relatives moved things into the new home while saying auspicious words.
Charcoal fire, oil lamps, hairpins, etc.
Then set off firecrackers.
After going through the whole set of procedures, the fire ceremony is completed. The next step is to kill chickens and ducks and prepare food to entertain relatives who have come from afar.
