After breakfast, Jiang Zhining sat in the yard.
Jiang Zhining asked curiously, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, why haven't any relatives come?"
In general, people in rural areas attach great importance to family ties, and it is a custom to visit relatives during the Spring Festival every year.
Lin Chunmei smiled faintly: "Visiting relatives starts on the second day of the New Year. Plus, our family is relatively poor, so we don't visit relatives often. I guess we will only have guests on the fourth or fifth day of the New Year."
"And all our relatives look down on us. Once, my father and my cousin had a quarrel over a small matter, and my uncle came to our house and directly picked me up from the bed and threw me to the other end of the bed."
Shen Yueyue said sullenly, and she was still frightened when she thought of what happened at that time.
Jiang Zhining didn't say anything. Poor relatives would be looked down upon, and rural people were more snobbish.
Looking at the house, Jiang Zhining suddenly said, "Mom, do we want to rebuild this wooden house?"
Lin Chunmei was stunned: "Isn't this house still habitable?"
"It's habitable, but it's a bit cold." Jiang Zhining said as she walked into the house, took out her small bag, and took out a thousand yuan from it, "Take this money and build a mud-brick house."
Lin Chunmei looked at the money in shock. Seeing that no one was around, she quickly asked Jiang Zhining to put the money into her bag: "This won't do. Don't let Yuzhou see it, or he will think you are using the money to support your parents."
In the village, if a woman gives money to her parents, her husband will always be unhappy if he finds out.
"This is my money. How I want to use it is my business." Jiang Zhining said with a frown.
"That won't work. Our house is still habitable. There's no need to spend so much money to build one." Lin Chunmei insisted.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhining said, "Then I'll come back and stay for a few days every year, and it will be cold too."
"Then I'll roast a few more water turtles tonight to keep you warm. Mom really doesn't want this money, so keep it for yourself." Lin Chunmei said firmly.
They didn't raise Jiang Zhining, so how could they spend her money?
No matter what Jiang Zhining said, Lin Chunmei refused to accept the money. But she was determined to improve the living environment of the Shen family, so she asked Shen Weilu to take her to the town to buy the necessary materials directly, and then she would do it.
"You are such a troublesome kid! How much money does this cost?" Lin Chunmei felt distressed.
"I can afford this money. Yuzhou, you supervise the construction and build a three-story building. After all, when the child grows up, he will need at least two rooms." Jiang Zhining arranged.
Song Yuzhou nodded: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
"Wait! Zhining, let's return these bricks and other things. It will cost a lot of money to build a three-story house. Yuzhou works hard to make money. It's really not necessary." Lin Chunmei was so anxious that she was about to cry. She was really afraid of hurting Jiang Zhining.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhining took her hand and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Mom, this money is nothing to me. My business is very good, especially the hot pot restaurant. I made several thousand this month."
Lin Chunmei's eyes widened in disbelief, and even her voice trembled: "Okay, a few thousand?"
Shen Guochao did farm work, and Shen Weilu went to a nearby town to do odd jobs, earning only a dozen yuan a month.
Jiang Zhining can actually earn thousands! !
"Yes, my base material shop is doing well too." Jiang Zhining said proudly, "I'm already a millionaire."
With the booming business of the base material workshop and hot pot restaurant, Jiang Zhining has become a genuine millionaire in just half a year.
In this era, it is indeed possible to get rich overnight by doing business. Competition is low, market demand is high, and it is easier to make money.
Lin Chunmei was dumbfounded. A ten thousand yuan household! The most profitable family in their village didn't even have half of it, let alone a ten thousand yuan household!
"Is this true?" Lin Chunmei kept swallowing, unable to believe it.
Jiang Zhining looked at Song Yuzhou, who nodded: "Yes."
Lin Chunmei's eyes went dark, and she almost fell down. Their Shen family, what kind of shit luck was this? They found a treasure.
So, under Jiang Zhining's instructions, Song Yuzhou and his son Shen Guochao started building a house together.
Seeing this, the villagers looked around curiously. After all, Shen Guochao's family was a well-known poor family in the village.
"Chunmei, where did your family get the money to build the house?" the neighbor aunt asked curiously.
"My daughter is capable. She was the one who ordered this house to be built." Lin Chunmei said proudly.
Looking at the mud and tiles, some neighbors said sourly: "It's really unlucky for this general to have such a wife. She supports her parents so much."
"That's right."
Song Yuzhou cast a cold look over there, and those who were gossiping shut up.
Jiang Zhining didn't care about what they said at all and played games with the children leisurely in the yard.
"Sister, I'm going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. Do you want to come?" Shen Weilu asked, carrying a hoe.
Jiang Zhining's eyes lit up: "Are there bamboo shoots in winter?"
"Yes, the winter bamboo shoots here are all big and taste good."
Shen Weilu thought that Jiang Zhining had never seen bamboo shoots being dug, so she should be interested.
Jiang Zhining stood up suddenly: "I'll go."
"Xixi wants one too." Xixi, the little kid, is quite proactive.
"I want to go too." Song Ye looked expectant.
Seeing that both of them were going, Song Chen said, "I'll go take care of them."
So, a group of people took their tools and marched along the path towards the bamboo forest.
Arriving in the bamboo forest, Jiang Zhining excitedly pointed to a spot and said, "That looks like a bamboo shoot!"
Shen Weilu followed her gaze and said, “Those are bamboo shoots, but they’ve already sprouted, so they may not taste very good.”
"It's okay, it's okay. I want to dig." Jiang Zhining said excitedly.
"Okay then." So Shen Weilu led them forward, came to the bamboo, and started digging bamboo shoots.
As soon as Shen Weilu dug with his hoe, he could vaguely see bamboo shoots. Jiang Zhining dug with great effort.
Soon, the winter bamboo shoots were dug out.
Then, Shen Weilu came to another place: “There are some here too.”
"But it clearly doesn't look like there are any bamboo shoots." Jiang Zhining looked at it carefully.
"You'll know if you dig it up."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhining waved the hoe and dug non-stop.
I originally thought that Shen Weilu had seen it wrong, but I didn’t expect that after a few hoeings, there were indeed bamboo shoots!
Jiang Zhining was full of energy and tried her best to dig bamboo shoots.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Zhining excitedly grabbed the winter bamboo shoots and shouted in a loud voice: "I found them!!"
Seeing her full sense of accomplishment, Shen Weilu gave her a thumbs up: “Awesome!”
After more than an hour of searching, we finally returned with a full load.
"I'm going to cook bamboo shoot soup tonight. Such fresh winter bamboo shoots, plus pickles, will definitely taste super good." Jiang Zhining's steps seemed brisk.
Jiang Zhining felt the joy of digging bamboo shoots for the first time. Looking at the big bamboo shoots she dug, she felt a full sense of accomplishment.
Shen Weilu was also infected by her happy look, with a smile on his face.
As soon as I turned around, my smile froze!
