I Got Rich in the Seventies

51-55

Chapter 51

    Xu Chunmei also had her own reasons: "If it wasn't for your pictures, this wouldn't be possible. Besides, it's not a one-shot deal, so that's enough." In the end, after all that was said, another 5 cents was added, and Xu Chunmei took one for each. Five cents, Cheng Yue and the others took sixty-five cents.

After sending Xu Chunmei away, the family gathered around the small table, looking at the stack of money on the table, and couldn't help swallowing.

"So much...all ours?" Cheng Weijun had never seen so much money, and was the most shocked.

There is still no renminbi with a face value of 100 yuan, so this piece is a great unity of 10 yuan. Tong Yuefen also dumbfounded: "This amount of money is probably enough for this life..."

Cheng Yue smiled: "Mom, where is this going? This is just the first payment. There are more to come. Besides, a few hundred dollars can be used for a lifetime." Millions in later generations may not be enough.

After listening to her words, Tong Yuefen thought that there would be 650 yuan in less than a month, what if it was half a year or a year? That's not tens of thousands!

Tong Yuefen's breathing became rapid, and she didn't even dare to think about 10,000 yuan.

"But that's just a little more now, and it's estimated that there won't be so much in the future. After all, this kind of clothes is not affordable for everyone." Cheng Yue said.

After listening to this, Tong Yuefen relaxed a little bit, this is normal.

The sudden wealth didn't have a big impact on the family, except that everyone was very cautious in the first few days, and then it was natural, what should I do. On the other hand, Cheng Qinglin went home on vacation and sighed at the two old man, "I went to the place where Qing Ze lived a few days ago." Grandpa Cheng asked with concern: "How is it?"

  "The family of five lives in that small room, which is too narrow..." Cheng Qinglin's guilt never went away, and he also regretted that he didn't It's time to buy a house.

Grandma Cheng snorted coldly; "I asked for it all by myself. Don't the fourth daughter-in-law have to go to the textile factory to work? Will there be no money?"

Cheng Qinglin was dumbfounded.

Grandpa Cheng said, "Go and bring them some food from your family this time, and tell the fourth child to come back if he is in trouble."

"It's not that they split up without food, so what did they give us to eat?" Grandma Cheng was not happy.

Grandpa Cheng waved his hand, unwilling to break up with her here.

"Qinglin, how does the house look like?" Grandpa Cheng asked again.

Cheng Qinglin said: "I've seen a few, but I'm not very satisfied. It's either too small, too dilapidated, or too expensive."

"There is a very big house, and it's on Siyuan Road. The environment is good, and the neighborhood is full of heritage. It's just too expensive, it costs more than 400 yuan." Cheng Qinglin shook his head.

"The fourth owes you more than 200. It should be enough for one piece, right?" Grandma Cheng blurted out.

The two were silent for a while, Cheng Qinglin spoke first: "Qingze is living a hard life now, so don't worry about it."

Grandma Cheng was in a hurry: "How can you not be in a hurry, if it is as good as you said, What if someone else bought it?"

"That's not true, there are not many people buying houses now." Cheng Qinglin shook his head.

Grandpa Cheng also said: "Let's take a look..."

 ——

A month later, the wine was almost finished, and the three families gathered again to pour the liquid that had become clear like amethyst in the upper layer into a clean container. The remaining grape skins were also squeezed out one by one, and not a drop was wasted.

In the end, almost six wine jars were filled before they were poured. Just as Cheng Yue had estimated at the beginning, fifty kilograms of grapes yielded thirty kilograms of wine, which was already very good.

"Try it! This color looks so good." Father Wen's wine bug has been completely drawn out.

"Don't worry, I'll go make two more dishes! Have a good drink today!" Tong Yuefen finished cooking and started cooking.

"Yueya'er, my godfather really convinced you, and if you say you can make it, you will make it!" Father Wen was amazed.

"Let me see, this is better than those foreigners' red wine!" Xu Chunmei also boasted, "I've tasted a little of that kind of red wine before, it's not good, it's too sore throat, and it's expensive. The color also looks dull , it's far worse than this."

"Auntie, you haven't had a drink yet." Cheng Yue was beautiful in her heart, but she still said a little modesty.

"I'll know if I don't drink it!" Xu Chunmei was very confident.

It didn't take long for Tong Yuefen to bring the food. Everyone brought their own water cups. Different colors and textures were placed together one by one.

Cheng Yue poured each cup, and when it was her turn, she also poured a shallow layer.

"Hey, hey, how can you drink as a child?" Tong Yuefen saw her action and hurriedly stopped her.

"Mom, I don't drink much, so I just taste it. I have to tell me the taste when I'm so busy." She wasn't really craving for wine, she was just curious.

"...Okay, drink less." Tong Yuefen urged worriedly.

"Mom, I want to taste it too." Cheng Weijun looked at him eagerly.

"No, what kind of wine are you drinking." This time, Tong Yuefen refused very firmly.

"Oh brother and sister, Wei Jun is a boy. Sooner or later, he will have to drink. It's fine if you ask him to try it." Father Wen was already feeling unbearable, seeing that they were still tangled here and jokingly persuaded him.

Then the belly was abducted by Wen's mother: "You know again, drinking is still a good thing?"

Wen's father smiled, not angry.

"Mom, I'll just give him a taste." Cheng Yue took the initiative.

Upon seeing this, Tong Yuefen said nothing, just said something to follow you.

Finally able to drink, Father Wen couldn't wait to hold up the cup and take a small sip. He was reluctant to swallow it. After passing it in his mouth once, it slid down his throat, and his eyes narrowed contentedly.

Mother Wen laughed and scolded: "Wine jar!"

Father Wen pretended not to hear, and praised: "This wine is really good, no sore throat, smooth!"

Mother Wen glanced at him and took a sip herself , suddenly his eyes lit up: "Hey, it's quite sweet!" After that, he took a few more sips.

"Godmother, drink slowly. Although this wine is sweet, it has great stamina." Cheng Yue quickly discouraged it.

After eating and drinking, Xu Chunmei began to settle accounts.

"I'll count this wine at three yuan per catty. If I take ten catties, it's thirty yuan!" After speaking, she put the money into Tong Yuefen's hand.

"No, no!" Tong Yuefen hid her hands behind her. "You guys got all these grapes and sugar. It would be nice if we just dipped in some wine, how could we ask for money!"

"Oh, this wine I don't know how to brew, so it's hard to keep you busy for nothing!"

Cheng Yue also said, "Auntie, don't give me any money, this time the three of us paid for and worked hard to brew wine, and it was originally just for making wine. Give it a taste to your family, after all, it's not easy to get a drink ticket, and you don't expect it to make money, you just keep the money, and if you want to make money, there will be more opportunities." After
persuading left and right, Xu Chunmei gave up: "Okay. Well, let's forget it this time."

Thirty kilograms of wine, ten kilograms for the family, put more in Cheng Yue's house, and drink it together when they get together again.

Although Xu Chunmei had never done any heavy work, ten pounds of wine was not a problem. After leaving, she took the jar and walked home.

"Why are you back so late again!" Mother Xu frowned and looked at her daughter. It's been several times this month. Shouldn't she be talking outside?

"I'm going to my good niece's house for dinner." Xu Chunmei was in a good mood, and her face flushed after drinking a little wine.

"Why did you go to someone's house for dinner again?" Mother Xu was very unhappy, and sniffed again, "Why does it smell like alcohol?"

"Wine?" Father Xu's ears were very alert at the moment.

"Haha, Dad, look what this is?" Xu Chunmei put the jar on the table and opened the lid.

"Red wine?" Father Xu said subconsciously, then shook his head again, "No, this is wine? Is it really brewed?"

"Yeah, you didn't believe me last time!"

Father Xu didn't bother to care about this, so he leaned in and sniffed. Taking a sip, he showed a satisfied expression: "Not bad." Then he got up and walked to the kitchen, and took out a cup not long after.

Mother Xu was helpless: "Drink less, I just had dinner."

"I'll try it." Father Xu took a sip and tasted it carefully, with an even more smile on his face, "Good wine."

Mother Xu also tried it out, and it was really good, so she asked, "How much is it?"

Xu Chunmei curled her lips: "What money are you talking about, they didn't ask for a penny, and the total cost was those 50 catties of grapes. , five cents a catty, only two yuan and five, and sugar, which is a big deal, spent more than ten yuan, and finally got thirty catties of wine."

"What about the rest?" Father Xu asked impatiently.

"Equally divided, the family is ten pounds."

"Well..." Father Xu had no objection to this plan, but felt that it was a bit small.

"Get more grapes next year." Long Jiu added.

Xu Chunmei laughed out loud: "Well, you know, it's all my good niece who has the ability."

"I asked you to invite people over as a guest before, but you always don't listen!" Xu's mother heard the words and said immediately .

"I know, they've moved to the county seat now, and there will be more opportunities in the future." Xu Chunmei didn't want to hear her talk any more.

"You can't always take advantage of others, and bring something back from home tomorrow." Xu's mother continued to talk.

"...Okay."

"Don't just promise, remember to invite someone to be a guest, just this weekend!" Mother Xu patted her arm, signaling her to pay attention.

"Okay--I'll go tomorrow--" Xu Chunmei looked hopeless.

The next day, Xu Chunmei was delayed and did not go, and when she went again, she went with money.

This time it was thicker than last time. Xu Chunmei changed a large package and took it out one by one and put it on the table.

"Counting, there are a total of 1,680." Rao is Xu Chunmei who has seen it many times. This time, she couldn't help but tremble.

Too much! Not counting them, I have taken more than 400 in this period of time! This is the equivalent of picking it up!

"This time, it's calculated on the basis of one cent, don't argue with me! I already took advantage of you last time, and I won't be able to do it again!" Xu Chunmei blocked the conversation before they could speak.

Tong Yuefen had more to say, Xu Chunmei said again: "Sister Yuefen, don't push it, it's not just about money, you don't know how much this picture has helped my sister, she's now promoted to director!"

"Director?! It's amazing!" Tong Yuefen was amazed.

"What's the matter? Her father is the director of the factory. It's only logical to have made a contribution this time." Xu Chunmei didn't care.

Cheng Yue was silent, good guy, so that's what she said, why is this textile factory so talkative.

Then she thought of another thing, since her aunt's good sister has such a big background, what about her? Probably not too small.

Cheng Yue speculated in her heart, but didn't ask.

"I have one more thing here this time, that is, my parents want me to invite you to dinner, just this weekend."

"Ah?" Tong Yuefen was stunned, "This is not good..."

"What's wrong with this, we've known each other for so long, and we haven't met our parents yet!" Why does this sound so strange? Cheng Yue complained in her heart, acting like she was messing with someone.

At any rate, Tong Yuefen finally agreed, and Xu Chunmei, who had completed the task, also left.

As soon as she left, Tong Yuefen became nervous: "Yueya'er, Mom don't go, you can go."

Cheng Yue was helpless: "Mom, they don't eat people, what are you afraid of?"

"Oh, you didn't just go . From what your aunt said, her good sisters are the daughters of the factory director, and your aunt looks good at the family conditions, and it is estimated that the background is not small." This matter is still very easy to understand, and Tong Yuefen naturally understands it.

"Mom, we don't beg others. Besides, since it was proposed by others, wouldn't it be rude for us not to go? My aunt is so good, her family must be very good too." Cheng Yue patiently comforted her.

"Then..." Tong Yuefen was still very resistant.

"Don't be afraid, just walk around like a normal relative. By the way, Mom, let's take out all the money in the family and clear it again?" Not wanting her to struggle any more, Cheng Yue simply changed the subject.

"Okay!" Cheng Weijun jumped up first. He never hid how much money the family had from several children. Cheng Weijun knew it too, and perhaps after the family split, Cheng Weijun became more and more obsessed with money...

"Two thousand, Two thousand one... two thousand seven!" Their family now has two thousand seven! ! !

A burst of joy arises spontaneously, and at the same time, the burdens in their hearts are completely relieved. In the future, no matter what debts or biases are not important, they have the foundation of standing, and they have confidence!

Thinking about it, Tong Yuefen began to cry.

"Mom..."

"Don't worry about me, I'm so happy!" Tong Yuefen laughed and cried, "I feel like this day is like a dream, and it will be all right at once."

Cheng Yue sat silently by the side: "It will be better in the future."

"Yeah, it will be better in the future."
