All-round way to money

The two years of [-] were two years of stability and promotion for Chu Ran and his master.

The policies of the upper levels are getting better and better, and the impact on the lower levels is obvious.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, the educated youths tried every means to return to the city.

There are more and more unemployed young people in the provincial capital.

It's okay if the family conditions are better, so I'm not in a hurry to find a way out.

But in this day and age, the difference between good and bad families is actually not that big.

When I came back, I had no place to live at home.Without a job, without earning money, there is no food to eat, which has to be saved from the mouths of the whole family.

then what should we do?

When people are in a hurry, they will naturally think of ways.

Although the policy has not yet come out.

But in private, so quietly, they are trying to make ends meet on their own, as long as they can earn a living, don't be hungry, they can't control so much.

Those who pedal tricycles, those who bake sweet potatoes, those who sell eggs, those who sell mountain products, and those who sell melons and fruits.Those who have crafts, be a carpenter, a bricklayer, sharpen a knife, etc., have it all.

With the little bit of economic activity, especially the start of large-scale contracting, the courageous ones began to divide the land. It really paid off in a year, and the grain produced in the field doubled several times.Not everyone is like Big Brother Chu, trying to find a way to get seeds and fertilizer every year. If that's the case, the enthusiasm is not as good as when you do it all by yourself.When ordinary people have money, they will want to have more money, they will consume, and they will buy more advanced equipment.

For Chu Ran and Master’s family, first, the profit of the automobile factory has recovered, and the sales of large trucks and tractors have doubled several times. As one of the few automobile factories in China, there is not much competition work.As soon as the sales increase, the whole factory will come alive, at least full salary can be paid.It used to be three or four people doing the work of one person, but now at least three or four people are doing the work of three people.Some departments even have to start working overtime to earn overtime pay.The technical department under the master's supervision is one of the departments that have to work overtime. The equipment in the factory is aging, and there are a lot of problems, so they have to fix it.Even those at the main factory always look for him.Not more than half of the time is spent in the main factory.The work was not done for nothing, the two workers received wages, one side got 170 yuan, and the main factory gave consultants a subsidy, which was [-] and [-] yuan according to the highest grade for engineers.The monthly salary is three hundred.This is not envied by others, it is earned by technology.Outside, there are often problems that cannot be solved by the unit. I come to the car factory to ask for help. Those who ask for help are not for nothing.It’s like transporting all kinds of materials in the material bureau. Cars are used the most, and coal, wood and so on are brought back. It’s not easy to take them to the home in the provincial capital, and there is no place to put them. They are all sent back to Sanli Tun’s hometown. The warehouse at home is piled up. It was full, and the heating was installed for the house.One winter, the house was warm, and the old lady said it was hot.

Second, Chu Ran's own business is better.Before, it was only inside the family building of the spare parts factory, making small noises.In the past two years, with more and more small businesses, the efficiency of the factory has improved, and the demand for new clothes has naturally increased.New fabrics, clothing styles, more and more.Chu Ran is always on the front line of the trend, and the clothes are always more pleasing to the eye than the clothes worn by the stars in the pictorial. She worked part-time in the cafeteria, but she didn't go there after that, so she went home to help her.It was convenient for her to be at home when she was pregnant.Mrs. Lian Xiao, besides cooking, she also has to help with bills from time to time.The living room at home has completely become her workshop. Sewing machines, edge-locking machines, and embroidery machines are moved back one by one, and all kinds of fabrics are piled full.

Master didn't want her to be so tired.But Chu Ran doesn't feel tired, so she just makes clothes, so how tired she can be.Not by hand, but by machine.

In 1980, the policy was further relaxed, and the educated youths returned to the city completely, and they were able to apply for self-employment business licenses.

Chu Ran immediately rented a [-]-square-meter shop on the street in front of the automobile factory and opened a tailor shop.

In the past two years, the car factory has been very profitable. It is busy building a new family building. Master is eligible to allocate a new house, but that will have to wait another year. Because he is not a dual-career, he can allocate two rooms of less than [-] square meters. .Some people have also started to build commercial housing in the market. At this moment, there is no such thing as off-plan housing, and they are all finished buildings.

"Let's buy a big house? It's not a small one. After the baby is born, we won't be able to live in it."

That's right, after three years of marriage, Chu Ran finally got pregnant.If you get pregnant a little bit, after giving birth to this one, you don't need to regenerate.

Of course, Master has no objection, why should we have to suffer when we can spend freely.He is now intentionally teaching apprentices, and he has picked out a few clever ones and always keeps them with him. When he has taught them well enough, he should resign as well.So, in fact, there is no need to wait for the house allocated in the factory, and he may have left if he didn't need the house.

Afterwards, Chu Ran had some free time, so she just looked at houses. Longcheng had opened less than five commercial housing projects in total. The automobile factory was a large unit with money, and there were only three around here, all in the north of the city.There are two other projects, one in the city center and one in the west of the city.It is more convenient to go back to my hometown in the west of the city, and the center of the city is of course conducive to doing business.For those around the Chengbei Automobile Factory, the most important thing is that the school district is good. The best schools are all nearby, so it will be convenient for children to go to school in the future.

"Sister-in-law four, why don't you buy it too? Let's buy it together and live in the opposite door, okay?"

When I watched it with my sister-in-law, Chu Ran persuaded me.Buying a house will not be a disadvantage in the next 30 years.

The fourth sister-in-law was a little hesitant, she didn’t have much money in her hand, “It’s not enough to buy me at one time, and if you take out a loan, you have to pay back tens of dollars a month, which is too much pressure. Although your fourth brother has become a regular, one month’s salary is enough When repaying the loan, someone makes a fuss, and I have no money in my hand, so I have no idea!"

Now I can get a loan, the house is super cheap, Dragon City is not a first-tier city, the housing price is not high, and it is the first batch of commercial housing, let alone sell it expensive. 90 yuan per square meter, only 9000 yuan per 20 square meters.A down payment of 40% is enough, and the loan will be less than [-] yuan a month for [-] years.

But that's it, in the eyes of the fourth sister-in-law, considering their family's income level, it is a lot of pressure.

"Isn't there still us here? How about I get the down payment for you?"

The fourth sister-in-law has been helping her for two years, and Chu Ran has been given 45 a month to [-] now, and it has been increasing.The salary is higher than that of ordinary factory workers.Isn't this a good relationship? It's not that bad.

How could the fourth sister-in-law ask her to give the down payment? It's not like she can't afford 1000 yuan. "We can buy a smaller one."

There are only three people in their family, and they have given birth to a son, and they don't plan to have any more.Two bedrooms are enough to live in. They are not the same as Chu Ran's family. The fourth brother has become a regular worker, but he is just an ordinary worker and a single employee.

"Let's watch it first, let's talk about it after seeing it." No matter how hard you are, you can't persuade him. You can't say that the house will be worth a lot in the future. If you buy ten sets now, you will be able to lie down and eat for the rest of your life.

The two sisters-in-law discussed the advantages and disadvantages of various houses for a few days in a row, where the apartment type is good, where is the closest to the school, where is more expensive, where is cheaper, and where is the best location.

Then if they talk like this, can Mrs. Xiao not hear them?I also know that my daughter-in-law wants to buy a house.

Listening and listening, she also understands that the fourth daughter-in-law doesn't have much money, so if she wants to buy a smaller two-bedroom apartment, it's enough for a family of three to live in. After that, she will have to repay the loan every month, and she will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars at once. debt.The youngest daughter-in-law has big hands and feet and a lot of money in her hand, so she thought about buying a big one, seeing that the bigger the better, she wished she could even buy a house for a child who didn't know whether she was a boy or a girl.From that point of view, we still need to buy shops and sell clothes.She definitely doesn't have enough money to buy those things, and she has to buy a house with debts on her back.

Hearing that the old lady got angry, she and Father Xiao were burdened with debts all their lives, and relied on their son's hard work to pay off the debts.How many days have you turned around?One or two, good day, but want to cause famine?

I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep all night, so I told Father Xiao about the plans of the daughters-in-law.Father Xiao doesn't stay at home during the day. His daughter-in-law works, and he is uncomfortable at home. He used to be on duty for his son, but now that the machines are running, he can't do serious work.Every day when I have nothing to do, I take a bench, take a walk in the park, and play chess with a group of retired old men. He can play Go, which was taught by Mrs. Xiao.Chess is self-taught, just play it.The old men who are free to go to the park every day are usually from good families, and those who can chat all over the world can have rich content.Some policies and so on are even more logically analyzed.So, as soon as Mrs. Xiao told him, he had an idea in his heart.Just say take out the things in the bubble and share it with your son.Mrs. Xiao has always listened to him, and she did what he said.

It's time to divide the things. You have to take out the things first, and then call the sons together to divide them.

The things are in the bamboo basket, so I have to go back to my hometown first.

When Father Xiao mentioned this plan, the master had no objection, he didn't point to that job, but it was very important to other brothers.Just divide it.

Dad said he would ask for leave and go back to his hometown together, but he didn't say anything.He quickly took three days off from the factory and borrowed a jeep. He drove it by himself, took his fourth family, Chu Ran, and his parents back to his hometown in one car.

I can't live in the house in my hometown, and the old people can't go there, and things are confidential, so there must be a private place to talk.It's not so convenient to go to Father Xiao's brother's house. After all, this thing is the dowry of Mrs. Xiao. When entering Xiao's family and being very poor, who knows what others think.

So, I still went to the Chu family.

The Chu family had just built a three-room brick house.The old couple lived with the old lady, with the dining room and kitchen in the middle, and the elder brother and sister-in-law of Westinghouse lived with their two children.A large family has come to the Xiao family, and the two big kangs can also live there.Most importantly, the Chu family is the Chu family and has nothing to do with the Xiao family, so it is easier to talk.

He also called Brother Xiao back. He has been in the fishing ground all these years and never left Paozi. He knows the location of that thing best.If he hadn't been watching, Father Xiao and Mrs. Xiao wouldn't have lived so peacefully in the city these past few years.

In the middle of the night, the masters went into the water and tossed and tossed for most of the night before moving all the things back.It's not that no one noticed that they were making bubbles in the middle of the night, but they all thought it was Chu Ran who had gone back to her mother's house and secretly went to the bubbles to get some fish, so they didn't care.

Thirteen boxes, one box is a lot.The tin box was so rusted that its original color could not be seen. It has been 30 years, and the lock is so rusted that the key cannot be inserted at all.Mrs. Xiao kept it with her for 30 years, but it was useless in the end, and she opened it with an axeman.

What was inside was arranged by the old prince, and Mrs. Xiao didn't even know.

Open them all up.Ten boxes of ocean.A box of two thousand.The total is twenty thousand.There are three boxes and one box of gold bars left, two hundred pieces.There are eight sets of jewelry heads in a box, two sets of pearls, and the rest are gemstones of various colors, all of which are of good quality.The last box is full of gold ornaments, gold bracelets, gold rings, eight-treasure bracelets, gold chains, emerald chains, bracelets, jade pendants, pearls, gemstones, and some strings are broken and scattered.

Calculated, the hair and jewelry box must be the most valuable, and the value is immeasurable.Gold bars and silver dollars are there, but they are of the lowest value.

Big brother Xiao and third brother Xiao are not here, but the second, fourth and fifth are here at the moment.

Father Xiao said, "It's not easy to divide this box of jewelry. If you have more and others have less, you won't be able to divide it. These years, the old couple has been supporting the two of us, and the debts owed are also repaid by the two of them." Yes, the fourth child gets married, the house and the money are all paid by them. In the future, your mother and I will still give it to them, regardless of whether we live for 30 years or 20 years, you don’t need to worry about it, it will all belong to them Husband and wife. This box is the pension money for me and your mother, both of whom are the fifth. The remaining ones will be called to your eldest and third children tomorrow, and the five of you brothers will share equally. There are eight sets of heads and faces, and there are still two sets left. , Fifth daughter-in-law, if you suffer a little, don’t take that one. Give them two sets for each of the four, is that okay?”

Chu Ran was very happy, "Dad, we should take care of the elderly, and we don't want that box. We earn a lot, let's share it with the elder brother and the others."

Things are indeed good things, but in the eyes of the master and empress, they are just like that, and she is really not bad at this point.So, very generous.

The fourth sister-in-law immediately answered, "Dad, the same son, we should also take care of the elderly. We can't just let the old couple raise them. That's not bullying. We don't want things, but we have a share in the elderly care."

The eldest brother was not there, and the second child spoke up, "Since father has spoken, let's share it. This is given by parents. Fourth sibling, fifth sibling, you don't have to be humble. The old man has relied on you these few years, especially It belongs to the old five's family, and the elder brother knows what to do. Don't give up. Dad, I don't think you should divide it according to what you said. There is a lot of gold and silver. I will make decisions for the eldest brother and the third. , the box of jewelry will be given to the fifth child as you said, and we don’t want the head of the box, the fourth and the fifth family’s share. They have been taking care of you all these years, and we didn’t do anything, just give it all They can also tell. In addition, find another box and pour out the two boxes, and equalize the gold and silver. Fifth, take a look and put the lock back in the original way. After finishing the work, let the boss and the third couple Come here and formally separate."

When the second child said this, everyone present understood that he was guarding against his sister-in-law.It's also to prevent money from touching people's hearts. All five of my brothers know that there are thirteen boxes. If the two boxes are put away directly, two boxes will be missing. Thinking about it later, I will feel awkward.The fourth and fifth children benefited, so naturally they wouldn't say it.Parents will not tell, as long as he doesn't tell, no one will know.He was the one who brought up the matter, how could he go out and say it.

In fact, if there is no sister-in-law, there is really no need to do this. As long as the box is not easy to value, it will be divided up for each person.

When the old couple heard what the second child said, they both agreed.They are not stupid to live with whoever they are facing, and they live with the fifth child, separated from the fourth child by a wall, and they don't face the two of them.How many good people can do it?

Besides, Father Xiao doesn't know how good his calculations are. The fifth and fifth couple are not short of money. Seeing that they get more money, the more they feel that they have taken advantage, the older brothers will get more care in the future!He knew the temper of his son and daughter-in-law thoroughly.

Not to mention that Master knew about his calculations, even Chu Ran knew it in his heart.

But what can I do if I understand?

Parents love their sons, and plan for the long run.

For the elderly, sons are all the same, but it is the daughter-in-law.But as for the eldest daughter-in-law, she didn't say she wouldn't give anything.What they think and calculate are all in human nature. They still give them first, and then think about taking them, which blocks people to death.

So be it.

There is no way to refuse.

Moreover, if there is no sister-in-law Xiao, it doesn't matter if Chu Ran doesn't want anything, she doesn't pay much attention to how much she has.But there is Mrs. Xiao, if she gets more points from her, Chu Ran feels awkward in her heart, what the hell.Let her take advantage of it, and I will feel unhappy.

Therefore, Chu Ran was willing to follow Brother Xiao's method and not give her anything for the sake of good things.

The master and the fourth brother must have thought the same way. After the old couple agreed, there was no further question. The master really repaired the locks with tools and wanted to restore those locks.

Father Xiao didn't bother to find a new box to put it in, and directly divided the two boxes between Sisao and Chu Ran, and let them figure out a way to keep them.

What can fourth sister-in-law do? She is still at the Chu family, and she has nowhere to put her.Just keep those four heads with Chu Ran and share them when you get back to the city.

Chu Ran just dumped the two boxes into the old lady's coat box and put them there first.After dividing the house later, tidy it up, find things and install them again.

The master repaired the box overnight, and at dawn the next day, he sent a letter to the eldest and the third child, agreeing that we would go back to the elders today and separate the families.Let the youngest couple have to rush back no matter what.The second son went back to the fishing ground to pick up his second sister-in-law.For such a big matter as the separation of the family, of course the couple must be together.

After lunch at Chu's house, the master drove the car and put all the thirteen new boxes in the trunk. The son of the fourth brother's family also stayed in Churan, and asked the old lady to look after him for a day.The six of them went back to Shijingzi by car.

The old family is still the one and a half small earthen house, and it is the first time for Chu Ran to come back. The layout of the original house is similar to his own.

Knowing that the old couple brought the fourth and fifth children back to separate the family, the elders didn't even prepare dinner.People only make their own.

Then what do you think you can do to her?

It was dinner at Uncle Xiao Jiu's house.

The young couple didn't arrive until before dinner.

After dinner, it was almost dark.Then I went back to the old family and talked about the separation.

There must be guarantors and witnesses for the division.

Find the team leader, the old branch secretary, and the production team leader, and call all five of Father Xiao's surviving brothers to be witnesses.

Those things are not allowed to enter Xiao's house before they are discussed, but after the discussion, it is not impossible to see people.We all know what kind of background Mrs. Xiao is from. If it weren't for that background, it would be impossible to marry into the Xiao family.

At this moment, Master opened the trunk of the jeep, lifted all the boxes out, and put them in the house.Thirteen boxes, one box is a lot.He also broke the lock in front of everyone.

As soon as the box was opened, it was obvious that everyone in the room was breathing hard.

"These are all left to me by my father. They have been buried in the ground. I haven't dared to take them out all these years. Everyone knows what they are for. Now that the policy is good, I am not afraid to take them out. The fourth and fifth want to buy a house. No money, tens of thousands of loans from the bank, and it will take 20 years to repay. As a mother, you can't just watch your son in debt for a lifetime. No one knows better than me what it feels like to be in debt. Take these things out. Let everyone be a witness to me today, divide them all, and I will meditate in the future." It is rare for Mrs. Xiao to say these words at once, and she can hear that she is a little nervous and her voice is a little I'm shaking, but only she can say this, the thing belongs to her, and no one else has a position, and it's hard for Xiao Laoda to say it.

The sons all knew that the thing was not buried in the soil, but in the water, but at this moment, the eldest and the third child were silent, and it was not wrong to say that it was underground.

Father Xiao just spoke now: "In front of you uncles and grandpas, everything is here. Your mother and I have given birth to five of you in our lifetime. A bowl of water is flat. Check how much there is. Divide evenly."

As soon as his words fell, Mrs. Xiao immediately said, "That won't work, how can we share it equally? The third child was married off. He is no longer the son of the Xiao family, but a member of the Wu family. Why should he have a share? "

The youngest blushed with anger, "Why am I not considered the son of my parents when I marry? You have no parents after you get married, so you think everyone else is like you? Bah...what the hell."

This is scolding Mrs. Xiao, who lives in the front and back yards of her natal family. After she got married, she never cared about or asked her parents. On the day my mother died, she went back to the funeral wearing a red dress. When someone asked her why she was wearing red, she said no. clothes.Not to mention crying or something.In the next two years, my father lived alone, and it was inconvenient to move around. She never went back to see the old man hanged himself at home, and was found dead two days ago.She doesn't know.It's just so personal.

Mrs. Xiao is not afraid of his scolding, her eyes are only on the gold and silver, her eyes are not wrong, she is afraid that others will secretly hide one and a half of them, "You said those are useless, old Xiao's household registration book has you ?"

That's right, now on the Xiao's household registration book, it is really the old couple, the eldest family of five, and the second sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law.The second child and the fourth child are workers, and both have collective household registrations. The second and fourth sisters-in-law have no jobs, and their household registrations have been moved to Shijingzi after they got married.Chu Ran's household registration has always been in Sanlitun and has not moved.When the land was divided, the land was divided according to the household registration. After a while, people wanted to divide the land more, and those who got married had to move out of the household registration.This is how the household registration of the second sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law were transferred back.Chu Ran didn't speak because of Brother Chu's prestige.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't speak now, "This thing belongs to me, and so does my son, it's all the same. I'm for my son."

The old branch secretary knocked on the edge of the kang twice with a cigarette bag, and said, "The old seventh daughter-in-law is right, the things belong to her, and she can divide them as she wants. What household registration book is she looking at? Ma girl, stop it for me." A little bit." He is the uncle of the eldest daughter-in-law, and he also hates this niece.

The old branch secretary is highly respected in the brigade, and he always says what he says, and no one is not afraid of him. The eldest daughter-in-law is definitely not convinced, but she dares not speak again.

Then the second child said again, "Uncle, let me tell you if this makes sense. My father just said that a bowl of water is equal. I think that if it is divided equally, it is not considered a bowl of water. Back then we What is the day at home, everyone is watching, there is one person sitting here, which one has my parents never owed money? It was only in the past two years that my parents asked the fifth child to take him to the city. I don’t farm anymore, let alone work, who will pay the money? Now that the family property is divided, do I have to settle all the previous accounts?”

The witnesses nodded when they heard what he said.Don't say anything in your heart, Xiao Er is a conscientious person.The old branch secretary looked at Boss Xiao, who said he had no objection.

The master immediately said, "My parents raised us, and those debts were owed to support us. I should pay it back. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Just do what your parents say."

"That won't work. Why do you have to share it equally with those who have not worked hard? Our old house is not money? The land is not money? Let them live in vain for all these years, why is it not considered money? It is just divided , you have to count all the property of the parents, and then divide the house and land equally, so why only divide the gold and silver?" The third child is fighting with the eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law quarreled, "What house? This house is my bride price. Back then, your family was so poor that you couldn't afford a penny and wanted to marry a daughter-in-law. Your father and mother agreed to give me the house, just this one How can a broken earth house be used as a golden nest? Want to divide the house? You are so beautiful."

Yes, at the beginning it was said that the house belonged to her, otherwise she would have kicked the old man out, and she would not have taken her.
