The driver drove the car to Xiaoshutun. Wan Feng ran to Xu Bin to borrow a cotton jacket and then took another car to Dashutun.
There are four poor families in Dashutun, and their situations are similar to those of the Zhou family's poor families.
When these families were worrying about what to eat during the New Year, pie fell from the sky.
Of course, it was Wan Feng who delivered the pie.
Although the gifts Wan Feng gave were not many in variety, for a family like this, they were enough to allow them to have a prosperous New Year.
These families, who had almost no income a year, were filled with gratitude. All their annual income was the 180 yuan given by the township and Jiangwei Village.
This is because Jiangwei Village has its own village-run enterprises and is relatively wealthy. Those poor brigades cannot even afford this little money.
These one hundred or eighty yuan can only support the living of one or two people.
A lonely old lady put two eggs laid by her only hen into Wan Feng's pocket and insisted that Wan Feng keep them.
Wan Feng held the old lady's hand and promised that next year he would let them move into a place where there would be people to take care of them so that they could enjoy their old age.
The old man smiled with tears in his eyes and accompanied Wan Feng all the way to the gate.
After delivering Dashutun, it is Xiaoshutun and Wohu, and then Waqianshanhou.
The reason why there is no list of Wahou here is that there are no poor households in Wahou at all.
The collective dividends every year are enough for them to live a comfortable life, so there are no poor households.
After finishing the task of visiting the poor households, Wan Feng started to work on the next task.
When he just came back, his grandmother told him that his uncle and aunt who were coming finally arrived on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.
When Wan Feng returned home in the evening, his father Wan Shuichang told him the news in high spirits.
This was more than twenty days later than when he first received the news.
Wan Feng thought they were not coming.
Coming here at this time, it is obvious that we are going to celebrate the New Year here.
After hearing the news, Wan Feng immediately set off with his father to his uncle's house in Nandawan.
At my uncle's house, Wan Feng met the legendary uncle and aunt.
I have to say that the Wan family's genes are quite strong. The appearance of the uncle and aunt is more than 70% similar to Wan Shui. On the contrary, the uncle is a bit far away from them.
Although they had never met before, the natural closeness due to blood relationship meant that the feeling of strangeness between them only lasted for a short time.
After exchanging a few pleasantries when meeting each other, we became familiar with each other.
The old aunt was busy cooking in the kitchen, and grandma was helping to light the fire.
The third elder brother of the Wan family and a younger generation of Wan Feng sat on the kang in his uncle's house. They cracked melon seeds and drank tea, asking each other about their family situations.
My uncle's family has an older brother who is married and has children, an older sister who is married, and a cousin who is still unmarried and studying.
My uncle's family is a farmer in Arong Banner, Neimen Province. They mainly farm the land. They farm more than ten acres of land and earn several thousand yuan a year.
The situation in my eldest aunt's family is similar. There is a married cousin, a married cousin, and a younger cousin who just graduated and has not found a job yet.
My aunt's family has a urban household registration in Qiqihar, and all the children in the family are workers, but the performance has not been very good in the past two years.
My uncle also brought a photo of my eldest brother and his family of three.
The eldest brother of my uncle's family is called Wan Qianxiang, a very elegant name, but he is a sturdy man. You can tell at first glance that he is a good worker. He has that kind of honest smile on his face, and he is a little sunny.
My eldest sister-in-law looks pretty, with a humble look, and she is obviously a virtuous daughter-in-law.
The income of a few thousand yuan a year from a dozen mu of land is really not much. That's more than a dozen mu, not just a dozen acres.
"Uncle! How about coming to our place?"
Wan Shuiquan shook his head: "No! Why should I run around at my age? I'd rather spend the rest of my life quietly in my hometown."
You see, as a man gets older his head starts to rust.
I'm not asking you to come here for a trip, I'm asking you to come here to enjoy yourself.
My aunt and uncle are of the same mind and are not planning to come either.
It's okay since they live in a fairly big city, so if they don't want to come, then don't come.
But my uncle lives in the countryside, so why not come?
"Uncle! See? Our Wan family is a bunch of stubborn people, just like you were! I'll give you the task of persuading my uncle to come. Of course, there's nothing I can do if he doesn't come."
The following is Wan Shuiming’s speech.
After all, he has been the factory director for several years, and Wan Shuiming has now trained his eloquence to the point where he can make things happen.
"Brother! When Wan Feng asked me to come here, I, like you, refused to come. Later, he brought his whole family here to stay for a few days, and then I suddenly realized that this world is different."
"What's the difference? Although your life is better than mine now, I don't feel that you have lived in a building and have a small factory for many years. How much profit can you make from those small mirrors produced in your factory?"
Wan Feng was speechless at his uncle's words.
After all, farmers, this is a bit too narrow-minded!
He may have been here for a short time, after all, he arrived in the afternoon, and he still needs to find out what is going on with Jiang Wei.
"Brother! When we live at home, all we care about is the annual harvest and how we live. Talking about anything else is nonsense. So, tell me how much money you and Xiangzi have left in a year?"
Xiangzi is Wanqianxiang, the son of my uncle.
"Last year, our family planted eight mu of corn and six mu of soybeans. We also did some side jobs and earned more than 8,000 yuan a year." Wan Shuiquan looked very wealthy.
He had a good income throughout the year, which was probably why he took advantage of the winter break to go out for a stroll.
He first went to Qiqihar, and then persuaded his aunt to move south here.
It’s a lot. This income was indeed among the best in rural areas in 1989.
In Hongya County, Wan Feng can guarantee that no farmer in the entire county can earn 8,000 yuan just by farming.
The reason is very simple. The per capita land in Hongya is very small. The scarcity of arable land can be seen from the fact that the land here is measured in mu, not even mu.
Who would believe that a family with only eight or ten acres of land, which is less than one mu, can earn eight thousand yuan?
Wan Shuiming shook his head: "Brother! If I were still farming in Changtu County, I would be envious of your income, but now your income is too little. Do you know how much I earned last year?"
"How many?"
"We're close friends, so I don't need to hide anything. I'm not afraid of you borrowing money if I reveal the truth. My small factory produces the small mirrors you mentioned. You probably look down on them, but the net profit of each one is less than one yuan. But these small mirrors brought me 350,000 yuan in revenue last year."
Wan Shuiquan's hands trembled: "How much?"
"Three hundred thousand!"
Three hundred and fifty thousand! Wan Shuiquan was confused. When he was feeling complacent about his annual income of six thousand yuan, other people here were earning tens of thousands of yuan, and it was three hundred and fifty thousand yuan at that!
What is the concept?
