Back to 2003

The arrival of Grandpa Six surprises the whole family!

The old man's biological brother is Tang Wenyuan's biological uncle. He can be regarded as a close relative. When the whole family heard about this, they decided to rush back the next day to meet this biological uncle whom they had never met before.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Taiwan's economic development far exceeded that of the mainland. Taiwanese people represented the rich. If anyone had a Taiwanese relative, it meant they were rich. Two years ago, an old Taiwanese man came back from the same town. I sent a lot of money to my family, and even my nieces and nephews received a lot of benefits.

Of course, the Tang family is not short of money now!

But having such a Taiwanese relative makes me feel somewhat proud, especially since this relative is my uncle.

only--

At this moment, my uncle is still in a sluggish state!

Doesn’t it mean that the mainland is lagging behind?

Especially in the countryside of mainland China, I heard that they can't even afford food, but the scene in front of me seems different from what I imagined!

The three-story western-style building where I slept last night has a fresh and modern style, a majestic appearance, a spacious and bright yard, beautiful interior decoration, air conditioning, refrigerator, washing machine, color TV, CD, and large stereo. It has everything.

There was even floor heating that he had never seen before!

Not only is the house beautiful, there are also several cars in the carport, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

The conditions may not be as good as his, but they are better than many Taiwanese people!

"Brother, are these conditions common in my hometown?"

Sixth Grandpa Tang Kai asked quietly.

"How is that possible-"

When the old man heard this, he suddenly felt proud: "Your eldest nephew opened several brick factories and made some money with his brothers and sisters. Our family's conditions are the best in the village. It is not wrong to say that he is a former rich man."

"I'll just say it!"

Grandpa Six suddenly became enlightened after hearing this.

……

At this moment, the accompanying female doctor Dr. He was also stunned.

Under the tall yellow horn tree, various flowers are blooming, and the green wooden houses on the big trees decorate the yard like a dream!

Is this really a backward continent?

Since the 80s, many Taiwanese have returned to the mainland.

The information they brought back was that mainland China is synonymous with poverty and backwardness. When she was invited to come with her, she was very unhappy. If it weren't for the salary offered by Mr. Tang that she couldn't refuse, she wouldn't even be willing to go. Come.

What I have seen in the city these days is slightly better than expected, but not much better. There are a large number of low-rise shanties, uneven roads, dirty and messy streets, and rustic clothes. It is lagging behind compared to Taiwan. Decades...

This big and beautiful little western-style building,

This fresh and beautiful living environment,

What's going on again?

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, several brothers and sisters of the Tang family rushed back one after another.

A car parked in the carport with a familiar look, and various ingredients were taken out from the trunk. When Uncle Six arrived, everyone bought good things. The children also wore new clothes and came to pay homage to this elder from Taiwan!

The sixth grandpa Tang Kai happily handed out red envelopes one by one. The children held the red envelopes and laughed and danced happily!

"The energy is pretty good!"

Dr. He is a doctor, and he can tell the essence at a glance.

The adults are dressed casually, while the children are well-dressed and look refreshed. In the impression, they should be dressed in old-fashioned clothes, even patched, and covered in dust and dirt. They are country people!

"Are you Dr. He? Do you like fishing?"

The little aunt saw her in a daze and couldn't help but said: "There are fishing rods in the small wooden house by the fish pond. You can try it!"

"Fishing, ah, I'm not very good at it."

Dr. He was a little ashamed when he heard this.

She is an ordinary citizen in Wanwan. She is busy making a living every day. She has no time to go fishing!

"That's okay, let's cook together! Check out the delicious food in our Yuzhou!"

My aunt warmly invited me again.

"OK then!"

Dr. He had no choice but to agree.

……

After yesterday, the store continued to open.

The old couple came back from shopping early in the morning and took their time cleaning up the ingredients in the store.

A car stopped at the door. Tang Qinghua got off and walked into the store with a smile!

"Uncle, aunt, the door is closed today. I will pick you up to have a meal at Qingfeng."

Tang Qinghua smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"Ah, this..."

When the uncle heard this, he hesitated.

Although his store doesn't make much money, it is open probably 360 days and [-] days out of the [-] ​​days a year. The neighbors are used to it, and they are a bit uncomfortable if it is not open.

"This is my red envelope from Grandpa and the others!"

Tang Qinghua placed two big red envelopes on the counter.

Judging from the thickness of the red envelope, it is estimated to be several thousand!

"That's not okay. You absolutely can't ask for the red envelope!"

The uncle immediately stood up and resolutely returned the red envelope: "When you left yesterday, you secretly stuffed money on the counter. When I found out, I didn't find you when I came out. What do you mean by taking money again?"

"That's right, since it's your uncle and aunt, you still have to pay for eating in your own store, so take it back quickly."

My aunt also frowned and spoke.

"This is not for the store. It is a red envelope given to me when two grandpas met for the first time. I even got a big one... Grandpa and Grandpa Six said that our old Tang family is not prosperous, so this is what is left now." Two, everyone should move around more in the future.”

Tang Qinghua said like a machine gun.

"Then we can't accept this money!"

The uncle still stuffed it back firmly: "Wait a moment, let's change clothes... Hey, can you put anything in this car? I bought so many ingredients today, they will break if I don't open the store, so I just want to take them back together."

"Okay, no problem -"

Tang Qinghua smiled and opened the trunk.

In the end, most of the boxes of ingredients were stuffed into the trunk before heading towards my hometown.

"To be honest, we don't have many relatives in our family. We have been running a small shop for 30 years, and we have only been out of Jiangcheng a few times."

The uncle said with emotion in the car.

"Then it's time to come out and take a look."

Tang Qinghua said with a smile.

"Tsinghua, your car is really beautiful. It's not cheap... Your cousin also wants to buy a car. She has many options to choose from, but she doesn't know what to choose."

My aunt couldn't help but ask.

This was her first time riding in a private car. She couldn't tell the difference between the brand of the vehicle and the quality. She just felt that the environment was much better than that of a taxi, with exquisite interiors and leather sofas. She didn't get motion sickness like taking a taxi.

"It's not cheap!"

It’s hard for Tang Qinghua to explain either.

"What kind of car are you buying? They have only worked for a few years and don't have much money. They must buy a house first... Now the house prices in Jiangcheng have risen again. A good community in Xincheng costs more than 2000 per square meter. The house costs over [-] yuan.”

The uncle couldn't help but sigh.

"Originally, the savings of the two of them, plus some of our coffin books, were enough to buy a house, but they insisted on a mortgage loan... Can they take a loan? They owe money to the bank, and the house may be repossessed at any time. go."

Auntie couldn't help but nag again.

They are all parents, and at this age, all they care about are their children and grandchildren!
