The family has a large amount of money coming in, but how to spend it becomes a problem.
Feng Yijia thought while eating, and after filling his stomach, he said: "How about giving the money to big brother to invest?
Let’s also find a way to get a big truck!”
Meng Sheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but I guess the car won't be easy to get.
Wait for my eldest brother to come back in a couple of days and discuss it with him.
The two shops outside have made quite a bit of money in the past six months, so we should consolidate our profits and bring back a few more if we can, to avoid further trouble."
Feng Yijia, who had plenty of private money and no worries about food and drink, had no objection.
So the destination of tens of thousands of dollars in the 1980s was decided so simply.
It’s just that Meng Chao came back faster than they expected.
Without waiting for two days, he rode his bike back in the evening, sweating profusely.
After not seeing each other for several months, Meng Chao, whose already dark skin had become even darker due to constant racing, has become even darker.
But he looks a lot stronger and more fashionable.
The shiny slicked-back hair, frog-eye glasses, burgundy printed shirt, suit pants with a wide leather belt, and three-inch leather shoes with heels made Feng Yijiajia and Meng Sheng's eyes twitch.
Meng Chao parked his bike, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and seeing the expressions of the two men, he said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean?
You don't welcome me back?"
Meng Sheng shook his head: "No, I'm not welcome!
It means watching peacocks and street urchins!"
Meng Chao understood that this person was dissatisfied with his clothes.
He stroked his hair, which was still in good shape after riding for dozens of miles, took off his sunglasses, and scanned his carefully selected outfit from top to bottom, saying quite complacently, "What's with the flowery peacock and the street urchin?
This is the most popular outfit in Hai City. Young people there are all wearing it now, but here in the county town, most people want to buy it but have nowhere to go."
Feng Yijia is someone who has seen the fashion trends of this era, but he still finds it hard to accept hair that is so greasy that a mosquito could split its hair if it stands on it. Not only is it hard and greasy, but the dusty wind on the dirt road will make your hair covered with dust.
And those shoes, men wearing leather shoes with heels, it's really unpleasant no matter how I look at them.
However, she shouldn't raise any opinions. As a sister-in-law, she should stay out of her brother-in-law's affairs.
Feng Yijia had concerns, but his brother Meng Sheng was not polite and said directly, "What's popular or not?
It’s enough for a grown man to dress comfortably and be presentable.
It's not like girls love to be pretty and have to pursue fashion trends.
Besides, it’s such a hot day, how comfortable would it be to put half a pound of oil on your head?
And those glasses, they're so dark when I wear them. The roads in the mountains are bumpy. Be careful not to try to show off, or you might end up in a pit and knock out two teeth. You won't be able to eat meat properly in the future!"
Meng Chao is no longer the honest farm boy he used to be. As he goes in and out of the city and into the village, his outfit attracts countless envious glances.
At this time, self-confidence is overflowing.
Even if the second brother said something, he didn't care.
It is said that the eyes of the masses are sharp. If everyone thinks it is good, but the second couple thinks it is not good, it can only mean that there is something wrong with their vision.
Yes, how can someone who has only been to a county town know what trends and fashion are?
Forget it, he won't bother with these two ignorant people.
Meng Chao calmed himself down and stopped arguing with others about his outfit. He hung his sunglasses in his chest pocket, snorted, parked the bike, and went straight to the kitchen with the two large bags tied to the back of the bike in his hands.
As he walked away, he said unhappily, “I came back to give you something, not to be scolded by you, second brother.
"I've lost my conscience. I've traveled so hard in the hot weather, and now I can't even say a word of praise!"
Meng Sheng, whose conscience had been eaten by a dog, stopped talking when he saw that he couldn't get his point across.
No matter how eye-catching your outfit is, you'll just stay at home for two or three days at most. It will pass if you just bear with it.
Seeing that the clothes on the elder brother's back were soaked with sweat, he stepped forward to help the man carry the bag and asked, "What is it?
Didn’t you give me everything you bought this morning? "
Meng Chao curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "My parents bought some watermelons, peaches, and cantaloupes. I heard people say that eating more fruit is good for children.
I bought some when I saw some for sale. Dad was afraid they would go bad, so he planned to bring them back on his bike this afternoon. I had to go back to the village anyway, so I just brought them back today."
It’s not possible to say much to his sister-in-law outside, otherwise he would have to complain to the second son that his parents are more concerned about their son now that they have a grandson.
He had been wandering around outside for more than half a month, and when he came back, his parents hadn't prepared anything specially for him.
Ever since the baby started moving in the womb, Meng Sheng has been interacting with the baby frequently, and now his fatherly love is overflowing.
It makes him feel warmer that his parents care about his children than that they care about him.
Therefore, I didn't understand my elder brother's sour thoughts at all.
After putting down the bag, he took out two palm-sized pink peaches, washed them carefully, and presented them to Feng Yijia.
He said, "Try it first. If it tastes good, I'll buy more next time I see it outside."
If it doesn't taste good, leave it alone. I'll chill the watermelon with well water and we'll eat it later!"
Meng Chao felt a lump in his throat. He ignored his brother, whose mind and eyes were full of thoughts about his wife, put down the bag, and fetched water to wash his hands and face.
With one more person coming, dinner naturally has to be more sumptuous.
The weather was hot, there was no electricity and no refrigerator, so Meng Sheng didn't buy much meat. Seeing that his wife was eating fruit, he prepared to go next door to buy a chicken to add to the dish.
But before I even left the house, several families came to deliver food.
There were several live chickens and ducks, as well as baskets of each family’s treasured cured meats, soy products, eggs, etc., which were brought into the yard.
They all agreed that Meng Chao would lead the families to the road to wealth, so the two brothers Meng Sheng did not refuse and accepted them one by one.
Now there's enough food for dinner.
Meng Sheng took charge and soon the table was filled with chicken, duck and meat.
Meng Chao was eating a dinner that was said to be delicious, and he felt a pang of jealousy again when he saw his second son diligently and skillfully picking up food for his wife without paying any attention to anyone else.
A good man spends all day around a woman at the kitchen table, and he still has the nerve to say that he dresses up.
Tsk!
Even if two brothers break their bones, their tendons are still connected.
Even though they dislike each other in their hearts, it does not prevent them from cooperating sincerely to make money.
After dinner, Feng Yijia sat in the yard, fanning himself to cool off, while Meng Sheng talked to others about investing more in buying a car.
