Back to 2003

"How long did it take for the dam to be built? It's still made of cement!"

My eldest uncle noticed the changes in the yard: "There is still a strip of stone in the middle, and flower beds are made on the edge...yeah, yeah, it cost a lot of money to renovate the entire courtyard, right?"

The previous lime dam was too old, with a pit in the east and a hole in the west. Moss would grow when it rained in winter. He even fell down once last year.Nowadays, the courtyard is paved with cement, and neat stones are used to form an avenue in the middle, which looks grand and grand.

Dieffenbachia and camellias were also planted on the edge of the yard. A carport was built on the east side, and a grape trellis was set up on the west side. Cars were parked underneath. There was no fence around the dam, but a flower bed was made of bricks. What was planted in it was not flowers, but It's garlic sprouts, green onions and the like!

"When my leg was not healed, I asked someone to repair the dam. It was clean and easy to come back." Seeing everyone's satisfaction, Tang Wenyuan was also very happy: "Cement, bricks, gravel, strips of stone, and so on. Including labor costs, the total cost is almost [-]!"

During those days when his legs and feet were inconvenient, he thought about repairing the yard. At that time, he only had [-] yuan left by Tang Qinghua when he left. But after talking to Tang Qinghua, he immediately sent another [-] yuan, and he I couldn’t help but find someone to renovate the yard!

"Ten thousand, sixty-seven, you're wasting too much... I'm looking for someone to borrow some, it's enough to build a building!"

"Yes, yes, your house is too old. Now that you have money, you should repair the house first and make it better for your parents to live in!"

The eldest uncle and the fourth uncle immediately complained.

The old house is still a house with mud walls and tiles, the eaves are dark, and there are spider webs in the corners. The tiles on the roof are old and the traces of time are extremely obvious. Although the yard has a brand new look, the old house is really old!

"I'm not going to repair the house anymore, let Tsinghua University do it!"

Tang Wenyuan shook his head, not feeling regretful.

"You want him to repair it? I'm afraid all the money from his dividends will be used up!"

After hearing this, the fourth uncle was very dissatisfied and complained: "Brother, I am not telling you, we are not from the city, why should we buy a car? 10,000+, it is a waste. We should repair the house and let our parents live in it." The good thing is secondly, it’s easier to find a daughter-in-law when the house is good!”

Among the brothers and sisters, the eldest and the fourth have the best conditions!

The eldest brother-in-law has been working in Shenzhen for many years, and he saved money to build a two-story building when he returned home. His two sons have been working since they graduated from junior high school, and their income has been even higher.And he is a small contractor. Although he does not have much money, he still has more than 3 yuan a year. It may be enough to buy a car, but he will definitely not be willing to part with it.

Tang Wenyuan used to drive a truck, but he was too sincere and never made much money. In addition, his sister-in-law was ill and Tang Qinghua had to study, so the family had always been in a tight situation. Coupled with a sudden car accident, the Tang family was almost at the end of their rope and had to borrow money everywhere. Difficulties.

Who would have thought that overnight——

The eldest brother's car accident has been resolved, the money for the operation has been paid, all the debts have been paid, there is still money left to buy a car, and you can even renovate the yard... Although the eldest brother once said that it was the money from Tang Qinghua's stock dividends, but Everyone can't understand, what kind of shares can get so much money?

"It's his own fault if he can't find a wife!"

Tang Wenyuan smiled, not worried at all.

In terms of looks, education, and financial resources, if my son can’t find a wife, then who else can?

"Brother, the fourth child was right——"

The eldest uncle sighed: "Now when you get married, it's not like before, everyone has to come to your house. If the condition of your house is not good, others will definitely look down on you... The day before yesterday, Jiang Quan met a girl in my house. The other party was still dissatisfied with the house I bought, and said he wanted to buy a house in the city."

"Yes, brother! You can't do heavy work, and it's hard to find any more money... It's hard for Tsinghua University to earn this money, so you can save some for him, and forget about paying off the debt. You still buy a car. When he talks about his daughter-in-law, you Where can I find money?"

The fourth uncle talked more and more dissatisfied.

What he didn't understand the most was why his eldest brother could be so confident when he bought a car.

Doesn’t it cost money to refuel?Isn’t there a lot of road maintenance fees?

"Oh, that's ha!"

Tang Wenyuan was a little embarrassed, but his brother-in-law didn't say anything nonsense. After buying a car, the expenses increased a lot. Should he save some money?

"Why don't you come out with me? We still need a warehouse guard at the construction site. We don't need to use much effort at ordinary times, but we occasionally take inventory of steel bars... The monthly salary is 1200 yuan, can you give it away?" The fourth uncle thought for a while and said.

He was inevitably a little proud in his heart. After all, he was doing well on his own. Even if his uncle bought a car, he still had to find work for him!

"Oh, no need!"

Tang Wenyuan's face froze.

"Suddenly—"

At this moment, a black car drove up.

Under everyone's doubtful eyes, the car actually drove into the courtyard and stopped firmly under the grape arbor!

whose car?

Everyone is in a daze. Isn't Santana parked in the carport at Big Brother's house?

"Eldest uncle, fourth uncle, younger uncle!"

Tang Qinghua came down and greeted with a smile.

Lu Lintao had to report to the unit, so Tang Wanyue came back first, leaving Tang Qinghua to pick up their father and son.

"Tsinghua University is back...which bus are you driving at?"

When the fourth uncle saw this, he couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"I'll drive my work car back during the Chinese New Year!"

Tang Qinghua answered casually while moving things.

The unit’s car?

Can you still drive it back for the New Year?

Isn’t that a car specially assigned to you by your employer?

"Third brother, your company actually gave you an Audi?"

Others couldn't recognize it, but Jiang Hua, the second eldest son of my eldest uncle's family, circled around the car excitedly: "Oh my God, it's the latest Audi A6. This car costs 60 yuan, right?"

"It's not that expensive, just over 50!"

Tang Qinghua told the truth.

To be honest, he regretted driving this car back. It was so popular and easily attracted onlookers!

This is like the rural areas of later generations. Cars are not yet commonplace, but you drive a helicopter back. It is too easy to attract jealousy!

"More than 50 yuan——"

The three uncles felt as if they were struck by lightning, their heads were buzzing!

What is the concept of 50 million?

My fourth uncle has been working on the construction site for more than ten years, and he is considered diligent and frugal, but he has saved a total of 13. How many years will it take before he can afford a car?

The eldest uncle and his son are all working in Shenzhen, but after saving so far, the house in their hometown cost 50 yuan, and they still have [-] to [-] yuan on hand. That’s all in total, but you only have [-] yuan for a car?

What kind of company is this?

The eldest uncle, who was still competing with each other before, thought that the three of him would eventually be better off than his uncle's family in making money, but now he has completely lost confidence!

To be able to equip Tang Qinghua with a car worth 50 yuan, how much does this company have to think highly of him?

"Brother, do you still need someone in your company? Just take me with you!"

Jiang Hua begged with envy.

"Okay? What will you do?"

Tang Qinghua asked him casually.

"I work as a fitter in the factory..."

Jiang Hua stammered.
