Chapter 244 Wei Xiaofan Is in Huajing (First Update! Please Subscribe!)

In the early morning, Huajing, Fengtai District, Weijia Village.

Waking up to the sound of the rooster crowing, Wei Xiaofan, who had been back for almost a week, was still a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't get up so early in Xiangjiang.

In the past, I needed to go to work and learn to sing, and by the way, I had to help with the performances, so I usually slept until after 7 o'clock in the morning before getting up.

But when I returned to my home in Huajing, every morning after 5:00, the rooster at home, or the rooster nearby, would crow.

When a rooster crows, roosters everywhere will chime in, so unless it is the children who are sleeping deeply, the older ones will immediately get up.

Wei Xiaofan went to Xiangjiang in early 1972, and now he came back in March of 1979, almost exactly 7 years ago.

In 7 years, in Xiangjiang, it has been an earth-shaking development.

But for 7 years, Huajing at this point in time has not changed much.

For example, Weijia Village, located in Fengtai District outside the West Fourth Ring Road, is still so poor and so backward.

Of course, there are changes.

For example, a lot of children have been born in the village in recent years, those who are about the same age as Wei Xiaofan have already been the parents of one or two or three children.

For example, with the meeting in the second half of last year, people's lives have become a little looser.

At most, there were more than 150 types of tickets in Huaguo, but before the Chinese New Year this year, Huajing City abolished more than 80 kinds of tickets, only a dozen major items such as grain, cooking oil, and industrial tickets, and dozens of types of tickets.

After the Spring Festival, although many places still need to use various tickets, ordinary people can also bring their own vegetables and carry them to the city to sell some. Cash is accepted instead of food stamps.

It's different from before, now the industry and commerce and the police won't take care of it when they see it, as long as you don't make the underground dirty.

Even more exaggerated, it is said that last winter, a farmer directly pulled a carload of radishes to sell at Tian'anmen, and it didn't do much either.

In places farther away, such as Miyun, Tongzhou, Mentougou, and small markets, people either barter or buy with money. Tickets are in these places It's useless.

Of course, if you want to buy some daily necessities in the supply and marketing cooperative, you must ask for various tickets.

In addition to the ticket, you have to add money, which is equivalent to relying on the sky to slay the dragon. Only by combining the two can you buy what you want to buy.

There are also places that do not require food stamps, such as some places in the city center that are specially for foreigners to eat, stay and shop.

On the third day after Wei Xiaofan came back, he took his parents, younger siblings, sister-in-law, three children of his younger brother, and two children of his younger sister. A family of 12 people took the bus to the front door. I found the Overseas Chinese Building at the north entrance of Wangfujing, and had a decent meal of Cantonese cuisine in the restaurant here.

Overseas Chinese Mansion is not here to entertain Huajing people. Only overseas Chinese and overseas compatriots can come to stay and eat here.

Wei Xiaofan got a Xiangjiang ID card, so he can bring people in for dinner, and they can only accept US dollars or other foreign currencies.

Originally, Wei Xiaofan was going to be slaughtered, but 11 family members ate and drank desperately, ate more than 20 dishes, and a meal cost 23.4 US dollars, which was almost 107.8 Hong Kong dollars. This still made him sigh. It's really cheap.

He invited his fellow apprentices to have a meal at a food stall, which cost about 100 yuan.

The price here is obviously increased several times, but it is not expensive at all-for Wei Xiaofan who came back from Xiangjiang, it is really not expensive.

Then, Wei Xiaofan took his parents and family members to Wangfujing Huajing Department Store, which can be described as a sea of ​​people.

The first department store in Huaguo, which opened in 1955, has been flooded by hundreds of thousands of people every day since the difficult period, especially since the second half of last year.

Not only Huajing people, but also people from surrounding provinces and cities, and even people who came to Huajing from afar.

There are a lot of people in the department store, not to say that its business is so good, but more than half of them don't buy anything, they just come here to have a look.

But not only the elderly, but also the young people, come to shop if you have nothing to do, even if you don’t want to buy and see.

Many Chinese people go shopping and never know what it means to keep your voice down and be famous for shopping. At this time, it is even more so.

Entering a department store is like entering a theatre. If you don’t speak louder, you won’t be able to hear your own voice.

In a capital city like Huajing, especially a department store like this, the biggest advantage is that many things can be bought without receipts.

Although some prescribed items, such as bicycles, sewing machines, watches, etc., still require tickets, other than that, more items do not require tickets, which makes the common people happy.

Wei Xiaofan came here not to buy big items for his family, but to buy clothes for them.

Most of the clothes in department stores come from Shanghai now, but the types and styles are much better than those that ordinary people go to sewing clubs to buy.

This cloth ticket is also within the scope of cancellation, so since the recent Spring Festival, clothes have sold particularly well.

In fact, Wei Xiaofan brought back a lot of clothes for his family from Xiangjiang, but the family thought they were too colorful and bold, so they didn't want to wear them. Only the children could wear them well, so he just brought them here to buy clothes.

After wandering around for a few hours, the family each bought one or two sets of clothes. After sweating profusely, they drove home with a smile on their faces.

Originally, Wei Xiaofan asked them to buy tickets to eat in the cafeteria of the department store, but both parents were farmers, and they already felt distressed after eating such an expensive dish at noon, so how could it be wasted?

The same goes for buying clothes. Originally, Wei Xiaofan's younger sister wanted to buy an extra pair of pencil pants, but her mother berated her to let go.

That is to say, five children bought an extra set, and the rest of the adults only bought one set of clothes.

Now the family is not without money.

The younger siblings didn't know, but Wei Xiaofan took 100,000 RMB to his parents on the first night when he came back.

Now the highest denomination of the third set of RMB is 10 yuan, and there are 10,000 sheets and 100 bundles for 100,000 yuan, which can only be loaded in a large suitcase.

So when it was taken out, Wei Xiaofan's parents were so frightened that they were about to have a heart attack.

People in that era generally had children at a young age. Many married and had children in their twenties, such as Wei Xiaofan's parents. His father was only 55 years old and his mother was only 53 years old. They are not too old now.

But I can't help but put a suitcase full of money in front of my eyes!

They have never seen so much money in their life! !

In the past, Wei Xiaofan's one to two thousand, three to five thousand, already made their hearts beat faster.

Since last year, Wei Xiaofan said that he became a celebrity, and showed them some stills and promotional posters, and then sent tens of thousands of RMB back several times in a row, which still made them tremble in their hearts, for fear that Wei Xiaofan would make too much money and cause trouble.

It's just that, the son is now from Xiangjiang, and the officials in the city said that it's only natural for him to send money back to honor his parents. The people of Pat Township are seriously envious of the object of envy and hatred.

Now that his son came back, he suddenly put a suitcase of money in front of him. They didn't faint, it was all thanks to the nurturing of Wei Xiaofan's remittance of money a few years ago.

When Wei Xiaofan returned to Huajing's home, someone brought him a huge safe, and put the money he exchanged in it, including Yin Jun's 500,000 US dollars.

Although the person who came to deliver the safe repeatedly asked Wei Xiaofan to exchange US dollars into RMB, but Yin Jun took the money to go to Shanghai to recruit people, and he would not touch it.

The safe is included, and the manager over there is Wei Xiaofan’s movie fan. Hearing Yin Jun mention this, he would give one away without saying a word. Anyway, it’s not worth much in the mainland, and it’s okay to just drop it out of the unit and count it as scrap. Not surprisingly.

Originally, Wei Xiaofan didn't want to do this, and felt like he was alienating his family members.

But Yin Jun told him that this safe is to guard against villains rather than gentlemen, and one cannot place hope on others not making mistakes. If one makes a mistake, the family relationship will be gone; only by taking preventive measures in advance can this be true The best way to keep the family relationship going.

Then, Yin Jun told Wei Xiaofan that he must never tell his parents, younger siblings how much money he made.

Many families are fine when they have no money, but when they have money, they often quarrel and fall apart. If Wei Xiaofan wants to say this, the family will definitely not have peace.

no way.

Wei Xiaofan didn't read much, but he knew that Yin Jun would not harm him, so he could only accept it.

Only Wei Xiaofan knows how much money is left in the safe.

Wei Xiaofan's parents are honest people. Not many people know Wei Xiaofan's popularity in Hong Kong now, so they didn't expect how much money his son earned. That is an astronomical figure of one hundred thousand.

But I didn't expect that as soon as he took it out, it was 100,000 in cash, and it was all for family use! !

As soon as the son walked away, the old couple immediately hid the money directly, making sure that no one else could find it except the two of them.

But even with so much money, the old couple can't bear the waste of their children. One of the clothes they bought is enough, and the rest will be fine if they pull the fabrics and come to the sewing company to sew the clothes.

Wei Xiaofan didn't say much about his parents' savings.

Diligent and thrifty housekeeping is always the long-term way.

With such a good habit, the family will become more and more prosperous.

Regarding the use of this money, the old couple also discussed. The boss has helped the second and third children so much, and now the most important thing is to help the boss marry a wife.

In the past few years, the labor and materials in the mainland have been cheap. The old Wei family has built a total of four two-story courtyards next to each other, but the interior is still relatively rough and simple.

With this money, it must be used to buy other jobs, but the configuration must be different. The house of the eldest will cost 30,000 yuan, the second and third child will cost 20,000 yuan at best, and the remaining 30,000 yuan will be used by the old couple as a spare.

Once the matchmaker finds the daughter-in-law, the 30,000 yuan will be used for dowry gifts, banquets, etc., to ensure that the eldest son will have a good time.

In fact, Wei Xiaofan called and said that when he was sure that he would come back in March, the old couple had already announced the conditions to a group of matchmakers who were eyeing them.

First, the age should not be too old, preferably around 20 years old.

Second, the appearance must be handsome, at least 165 centimeters tall, with a big butt and fat ass, and capable of giving birth to a baby.

Third, the family cannot be a poor and settled family, preferably a worker's family, or the daughter of a cadre family.

Fourth, they must be educated, at least they must have graduated from high school, and those who can sing and dance are the best.

Fifth, you must have good conduct, be generous, industrious and willing to do things, respect your parents, and be diligent and thrifty in managing the house, not for a delicate girl.

All right.

After such a series of requests, at least half of the matchmakers died down.

This is not a blind date, this is the prince's choice of concubine!

Such a harsh condition, I really don't know how many daughters of families can meet it.

However, there are disappointments and excitement.

Everyone has seen Wei Xiaofan's conditions and his photos.

Although a little fat, but tall and big, it looks like it has strength.

And now he is still from Xiangjiang. It is said that being a star in Xiangjiang has a lot of money, and he sends tens of thousands to his family every year. How many people in Huajing can earn tens of thousands a year?

And I heard that as long as you get married, your wife and children can apply for Xiangjiang household registration, and you can live in Xiangjiang. There is gold and prosperity there, it is like heaven!

This is not the old Wei's bragging. The cadres in the district and the city have come several times to visit the old couple of the Wei family and ask them if they have any needs and if they need help. This is the best. Proof!

With such conditions, who dares to say that Wei Xiaofan is not qualified to be so picky?

Those who have the courage to stand in front of the old couple of the Wei family already have some capital. A crooked woman has long since lacked the courage to ask a matchmaker to tell her.

Although the conditions are too harsh now, half of the fights go on, but the remaining half still think that the daughter of the family entrusted to them still has hope, so they appear to be ambitious and vow to facilitate this marriage and get a generous reward. And gained great fame.

The daughters of many urban cadres, workers, and rural girls with very good conditions, their families, including themselves, are all eager to try.

After Wei Xiaofan returned home, these matchmakers were very excited. On the second day when they went out for dinner, there were seven or eight groups of matchmakers waiting with the girls. On the third day, there were more than 20 matchmakers. Exaggeration, there are more than fifty!

After such a week, Wei Xiaofan felt that his face was a little stiff from smiling when facing the girls on blind date.

In addition, in the past few days, cadres from the city, district, township, and village have all come to visit Wei Xiaofan, saying polite words in their mouths. In fact, Wei Xiaofan couldn't tell that they wanted Wei Xiaofan, a patriotic Overseas Chinese, donating a lot of things can be considered as a contribution to the motherland.

Yin Jun had already thought about this matter, and he told Wei Xiaofan, don't promise easily.

Although it seems a little unkind to return home without doing good deeds, it is better than failing to do something after you make random promises.

Leaving donations aside, Wei Xiaofan also wanted to find a good wife and have children earlier in his lifelong affairs, but faced with so many choices all of a sudden, he felt like he had to pick and choose.

Even Wei Xiaofan, who has honed his eyesight in Xiangjiang and Baodao for so long, has seen at least a dozen very outstanding girls, no matter their status or status, they are more than enough to match him.

However, Wei Xiaofan didn't want to appear so utilitarian. After all, he also knew the reason why these matchmakers brought girls to blind dates one after another.

It is certain to choose an outstanding girl as a lifelong partner, but it would be better if it is not so utilitarian.

Not being able to choose for a while is actually not that urgent about this matter, and it is even less anxious about how to help the folks in the village.

What Wei Xiaofan was worried about was another matter. Seeing that the time was so delayed in blind dates and social gatherings, he finally couldn't wait any longer. He told his parents, took a big suitcase, and took the train to Shanghai. .
