Sitting in front of the fire holding a cup of hot tea, Zhang Yuncong, who felt warm all over, took out two passbooks from his pocket and placed them on a stool beside him.
He said to Feng Yijia and his wife who were busy preparing a feast, “It’s hard to carry too much money, so my dad put it into two cards to save.
This time, your tiger bones met a drug dealer from Gangcheng who came to the provincial capital for inspection.
My dad talked to someone and sold it for a high price.
The two notes here are worth a total of 90,000 yuan. One of them, worth 88,000 yuan, was given by a Hong Kong businessman, and the one worth 2,500 yuan was sold individually before.
You can go to the bank and withdraw the money anytime with the voucher!"
Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng were stunned when they heard this. This thing is hard to come by and the price is not fixed, but they really didn't expect that so many tiger bones would be sold for so much money.
There are still plenty at home.
But now they are not people who have never seen money, so they reacted quickly.
Meng Sheng put down the kitchen knife in his hand, reached out to take the passbook, handed it to Feng Yijia, and sincerely thanked Zhang Yuncong: "The fact that I can sell so much money is all thanks to Uncle Zhang and Brother Yuncong.
My husband and I don’t know how to thank you enough!”
After saying this, he thought for a moment and said, "The only thing our family can show off right now is this tiger bone.
Then, when you leave, take two more with you as a thank you gift!"
Feng Yijia, who had just returned from putting away the passbook, nodded and agreed, "Meng Sheng is right!"
Zhang Yuncong smiled and waved his hand to refuse: "No, don't give it to me again.
Tiger bones are not easy to come by, so we help sell them, and we can get a lot of benefits from it.
Besides, you already gave it to me last time, and if I give more, my parents and I will feel bad!
If you don’t want to keep the rest, the Hong Kong businessmen will take them.
The price remains the same. I came here to ask if you are still selling it."
Meng Sheng glanced at Feng Yijia, made eye contact and said, "I'm not selling it.
Uncle Zhang helped to process it, and we will keep the rest carefully. It will last for many years and we can use it later!"
In a few years, tigers will become protected animals, and tiger bones will be even harder to come by. It will not be worth selling them for a small amount of money.
Zhang Yuncong listened but did not try to persuade him.
After dropping the topic, they started chatting about all sorts of things.
Talk about the health of both sets of parents, talk about childhood, and then talk about the current social development and changes.
Although Meng Sheng had not received much education, he had the experience of two lifetimes, and he got along quite well with Zhang Yuncong, who was a college graduate.
Feng Yijia received a sum of money that could withstand verification, and was in a good mood. He was busy preparing dinner and occasionally made a few remarks.
The clashing of pots and pans and the sound of people chatting and laughing made the kitchen seem very lively and harmonious.
After dinner and settling Zhang Yuncong down, Feng Yijia still hadn't forgotten the big show she hadn't finished watching in the afternoon.
She ran to the backyard and called her father out from the field to tell her what happened next.
Feng Youcai floated out the copper coin he had borrowed, met his daughter's gossipy eyes, twitched his lips, and said lightly: "What can happen next?
Those old ladies didn't kill anyone or set any fire, and it's not illegal for them to throw feces or make a scene.
After a long commotion, the husbands and sons of those women came out and took them home. They apologized to the village officials, fetched water and washed the people in front of their doors, and that was it.
It is difficult to elaborate on many details when talking to my daughter, so I can only summarize it in a few words.
Feng Yijia wanted to ask Aunt Wang whether she had taken off her pants, but seeing that her father was unable to ask, she gave up in the end.
Feng Yijia, whose curiosity was not satisfied, returned to the house somewhat dejectedly and lamented to Meng Sheng, "I've discovered that even the closest people can't talk about everything.
There are always some things that need to be avoided in front of some people!"
Meng Sheng didn't know why his good wife would say such things. After hearing this, he inexplicably thought of Xiaohua, who lived next door to his brother-in-law's house, and felt too guilty to respond.
Feng Yijia was just speaking from her heart and didn't expect the man to reply.
He quickly put these words behind him and enthusiastically discussed with Meng Sheng how to use the more than 90,000 yuan.
“This money is enough to pay off all the debts, and there is still a lot left.
Are we buying a house or land?
Or do something else?
You can't just put it in the bank and earn interest, that would be too much of a loss!"
In an era when a hundred kilograms of rice cost less than twenty yuan and a yard cost several thousand yuan, if people had enough food, clothing and shelter, how to spend tens of thousands of yuan was indeed a problem.
Buying houses and land will definitely make you money in the long run, but in the past few years, except for the big cities in coastal areas, the short-term profits in other places are limited.
When doing business, what specific things should you consider?
It would be best to choose a project that can make money without too much effort, otherwise how would you find time to spend with your wife?
After being reborn, Meng Sheng considered the pros and cons between earning money now, earning money in the future, and how much to earn. While hugging his wife, he was distracted and couldn't make up his mind.
Finally, before he started to move his hands and feet in an unruly manner, he muttered, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's wait until after Chinese New Year to do anything!"
Let’s go to bed first.”
Next, Honglang rolled over, the bed creaked, and he could not speak incoherently. The ants in the corner of the room were so embarrassed that they crawled back into their holes.
No one remembered the money.
The next day, the snow that had been falling intermittently for two days stopped, and the cold sun showed its pale face in the sky.
Zhang Yuncong had to rush back to work. After having breakfast early in the morning, he bought some paper candles from a stall in the village, took them to the cemetery, burned incense and paper for Meng Chengliang and others, and then hurriedly rode away on his bicycle.
As soon as he showed up in the village, word spread that Feng Yijia had picked up tiger bones and sold them for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.
Of course, this was a rumor that Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng had agreed to have Zhang Yuncong help spread.
The amount of money has also been calculated and is ready to be used to fill the holes in the contracted forests.
As soon as the couple saw Zhang Yuncong off, they went to find Chen Hai. They planned to pay the nearly 40,000 yuan contract fee for the mountain land for the next 30 years in one go.
The current contract price will be different from the future contract price.
How can two people who have been poor all their lives become rich and still be unable to change their petty habits?
We still have to save where we can.
Chen Hai, who has been the brigade accountant for 10 to 20 years, has never handled so much money.
After listening to the couple's plan and questioning it, he took the militia captain Meng Jiemin and several militiamen as bodyguards, and followed Meng Sheng to the county bank to withdraw money.
So, the couple who had just become wealthy in the eyes of the villagers suddenly became paupers.
The hearts of the villagers were like a roller coaster in less than half a day. When talking about Meng Sheng and his wife, they didn't know what words to use to describe them.
