Chapter 1300 A Generous Reward
In the inherent impression of many people, rural areas should be a very conservative place. In fact, this is not the case. These places that have always longed for a better life but have experienced bad times for many years are actually the boldest and the most adaptable.
Because they have been having a hard time for many years, no matter what they do, they are very direct and don't make so many twists and turns.
For example, the household contracting for farmers in Xiaogang Village has profoundly affected the development direction of our country in the new era, directly changed the history of rural development, and opened the prelude to reform and opening up. The reason is very simple. It is not good for a large collective to cook from the same pot, but household contracting is good. Just do it.
The same is true for Feng Jiachong now. As everyone's status has changed from farmers to workers to small bosses, many of the old etiquette and traditions that they have always adhered to have been silently abandoned by everyone, or given new ones. connotation.
For example, on New Year's Eve, except for those who wanted to pay bills, people generally would not visit other people's homes. However, this year's New Year's Eve, starting from the morning, Feng Yiping's house was filled with guests, and even Huang Jingping was not allowed to visit. Not helping to greet guests.
The people who came today, including Xiao Zhijie's father and Wang Changning's father, are all noodle shop owners who have opened stores outside.
Many of them just rushed home from other places yesterday, and today they hurried to Feng Yiping's home to visit.
The living room on the second floor was very lively today. Zhang Qiuling hugged Amanda and didn't want to let go. She would call her sister at one time and aunt at another, which made the little one feel a little messy.
Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning would not tease Amanda like Zhang Qiuling, but looking at this cute little guy, they were obviously very curious.
"It's true that Yiping encountered such trouble at this time," Xiao Zhijie said.
"You don't want to think about how hard it is for Yi Ping to be busy all year long," Zhang Qiuling immediately rolled her eyes at him.
She knew that this guy was in trouble and felt guilty.
Why do you feel so guilty? I came here with you and your dad today, and my dad didn't say anything.
"I know he's been working hard. Didn't we originally promise to get together during the Chinese New Year, but it ended up being ruined again?"
"It can't be said to be particularly hard. Even with so many things going on right now, sometimes there will inevitably be emergencies like this one, and he can't control them," Huang Jingping said.
Yu Lian, who was standing at the window, saw a man walking out the door with a cigarette and firecrackers, and met the man who was walking this way carrying a few gift boxes. Is it so lively?”
"I really don't know," Huang Jingping laughed. She really didn't know what happened at home here.
"Does your family come here every year?" Yu Lian asked Wang Changning.
"In previous years, I wouldn't have waited until today. I would have arrived by 27 or 8 at the latest,"
"Will all those people who open stores outside at the end of the year come?"
Wang Changning glanced at Xiao Zhijie, "They will all come too, but they won't be as gathered as this year. This year, we all made an appointment to come here today."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Even Huang Jingping couldn't help but ask.
"The main thing is to say thank you,"
…………
The downstairs was very lively at this time, packed with more than 80 people of all ages, old and young. This was not all, there were more than a dozen on the way.
In the past, the smell of cigarette smoke in the room would have choked people to death, but now it is very good. There are not no smokers, but only a few.
Opening your own noodle shop, even if you don't quit smoking, it won't be as fierce as before, when you smoked at least a pack a day.
Feng Zhenchang sat in the main seat, his face turned red and his voice was loud, "These things are what the company should do, so there is no need to thank you. Besides, we are all from the countryside and should help each other. If you say this, it will seem like a heretic."
Among these people, there are those who just joined the store this year and transferred some capital from Feng Zhenchang. Most of them have opened the store for more than a year and their income is very stable. Today they made an appointment. Just like what Wang Changning said, there is only one thing, to express gratitude.
"That's not what you're saying." Xiao Zhijie's father, Xiao Jianping, was able to get a seat because he was older. "We won't talk about the help we had in the past. Look, those of us here, including those who haven't arrived today, are... Isn’t it because of Brother Feng and Yiping that we can live the life we have now?”
"Also, this time is really different. To be honest, when the company asked everyone to change the menu, instead of using chicken in chicken soup, we would use pork bone soup and pork. We still had some opinions. This would not give the business to those who follow our example. Have you made a noodle shop yet?”
"This year we realized how timely the company's decision was," he said with some pride. "The noodle shop near my old store has been following our example and still uses chicken soup. It turns out that the business is not bad. In the past few months, haha , even if they follow our example of using pork bone soup, not many people will patronize it,”
In 2004, the bird flu that originated in South Korea has not slowed down, but is spreading further. Now it is not only poultry, but also in Vietnam and Thailand. There have been many cases of people being infected with bird flu and dying.
Although we have learned a profound lesson from SARS, the country has controlled it very well this time, and there are currently no cases of human infection. However, it is very common for chickens, the main breeding species of poultry, to be infected with avian influenza. In order to attract everyone's attention, TV shows There are often news about how many chickens from which farms are being killed and destroyed in various places.
Under such circumstances, everyone is really talking about it. Who would want to eat noodles cooked in chicken soup?
Now, how can those noodle restaurants that originally relied on imitating the taste of hometown noodle restaurants but did not change them in time or were too lazy to change their menus still have business now?
"What's the matter? Yiping did this by mistake," Feng Zhenchang said. "He just felt that time had passed and he needed a change of taste. How could he have imagined what he is doing now?"
"Even if you hit it by mistake, that's Yi Ping's luck."
Many people still believe in luck.
"If he hadn't planned such a strategy before us, it would be our turn to have a hard time this year. It's a pity that he has been so busy these two days,"
"Even so, I don't know what he is busy with all year round. He can't even go home during the New Year," Feng Zhenchang said seemingly complaining.
"He is busy with big things. Only when he is on top to help us think about it can our business go smoothly and our life be good."
"Let's not say these unconventional words," Feng Zhenchang stood up, "As you know, Yi Ping only hopes that everyone's business will be good and everyone's life will be good, so he is happier than anything else."
"Today is a big day, and I won't accept any guests. The factory canteen has prepared lunch. But first of all, many people came by car today. They just want to eat and not drink. After lunch, everyone will go home early and follow us in the evening. Have a reunion dinner at home,”
"I also wish that next year, everyone's business will be better than this year,"
"Also, I really appreciate the good intentions of everyone bringing these gifts, but to be honest, I really can't put them down at home, so I might as well take them back with me, okay? I can just bring them empty-handed in the future,"
The fourth uncle and several nephews also helped with the preparation, "Let's go, the dishes are all served,"
"Come today, of course you have to eat a meal," Xiao Jianping said, "But Brother Feng, you have to accept this," he took out a large envelope from his bag.
"Is this?" Feng Zhenchang opened it and saw that it was an insurance policy. He looked at the beneficiary, who was Amanda, and then looked at the amount, which was 666,666 yuan. He quickly took out the few A piece of paper was stuffed back, "What is this for? How can I collect this?"
"Take it, Brother Feng," "Take it, Uncle Feng," not only Xiao Jianping didn't answer, but everyone started to persuade him.
In fact, Feng Zhenchang could only name some of them and was not familiar with them, but when he looked at them, his eyes were full of sincerity, "This is a little bit of our care for our children,"
"Yeah, you have to let us express our gratitude,"
Dongzheng took a look at the amount on the paper. It was indeed six figures, and he couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Feng Zhenchang was very excited now and felt that those pieces of paper were very hot to touch. "I really can't accept it. I can't accept it at all."
Xiao Jianping pushed back again, "Brother Feng, listen to me. Those of us who open shops outside, we all know that today we can buy a house outside and drive a car. How did this day come about?"
"Although we are less educated, we all know that we can repay our kindness with pictures. In the second half of this year, we were discussing how to express our feelings. Later, when I heard that Yiping had a daughter, I thought of buying one for her. An education insurance policy,"
"We know that neither you nor Yiping are short of this money, but this is our uncles and grandfathers' affection for Yiping's daughter. Don't worry, there will be no sharing. Each of our 121 families can only make the same amount." I paid thousands of dollars, but it’s really nothing now,”
"This number is also the wish of all of us. We hope that she will have a safe and smooth life,"
"Besides, not only did the company confiscate our franchise fee before, but also the money used to open many stores was borrowed from you, so you have to accept this no matter what,"
"Yes, this is what we all want. Just accept it on your granddaughter's behalf,"
"How do you say this? Your heart, this heart is worth more than anything else, I really can't accept this." Looking at the sincere eyes around him, Feng Zhenchang, who is in his sixties, felt that his eyes were extremely hot...
