Chapter 169 Come to Ask for Alms (Seeking First Order, Monthly Ticket)
Feng Zhenchang's idea of returning to his hometown was discounted. There was no other way. The road hadn't reached the village yet, so he could only park his car in the original Fushan Township, and then a group of more than ten people walked to the village with big bags and small bags. A little way is nothing to them.
As soon as they put down their things, the deserted home immediately became popular. Several families came to invite them to dinner, especially those who worked in the store.
But it's always embarrassing for a family with children and daughters to go. In the end, dinner is still eaten at the second uncle's house. It doesn't matter to my brothers, and others can't make sense of it.
From the second day onwards, people came to the house in an endless stream. Feng Zhenchang didn't leave the house all day long. Before this one had finished drinking, the other one called it. It doesn't matter if you are full, then go Drink tea to eliminate food and hangover.
Mei Qiuping really couldn't leave, the New Year was only three days away, and the family had to make preparations, otherwise she would be the same as Feng Zhenchang, unable to get out of the house, Feng Yuxuan also chose to go to several houses, only Feng Yiping would not go to anyone's house , stay at home and prepare for the new year with my mother.
If you eat someone else's food, of course you have to return it. On the day of the 29th, things at home were almost ready. Mei Qiuping called Brother Dongming's wife to help, and set up two tables for each meal at home at noon and evening.
During the dinner, all kinds of compliments kept coming. Feng Zhenchang drank too much these days and his face was a little swollen. Hearing these words, his old face seemed to have a second youth.
Mei Qiuping was worried about his health, and when serving the dishes, she advised everyone to drink well and not to respect him all the time.
If it was in the past, it would be difficult for them to say these things. Of course, there were not so many people who worshiped Feng Zhenchang's wine at that time, so it would be a joke to say these things. It's different now. The words of the two of them are still very important here in Feng Jiachong, and everyone sitting here can listen to them.
Of course, it won't let them drink to their heart's content. Several cousins who drink well are all at the table to accompany them.
During the dinner, someone finally mentioned the matter of opening a noodle restaurant, and Mei Qiuping and Feng Yuxuan, who had been listening to the movement outside in the kitchen, turned a little cold.
Feng Zhenchang laughed, "I've thought about this a long time ago. If you want to open it, of course I will help. I won't go into details today. When the first month comes out, there will be a regulation, okay!"
The person who asked the question was very satisfied after hearing what Feng Zhenchang said, and Feng Zhenchang also expressed emotion, thanks to his son's warning in advance.
After asking this question, Mei Qiuping was fine, and Feng Yuxuan was always emotional when she went to serve food.
When everyone left, the villager from the town credit union stayed behind, drinking strong tea around the firepit, working with Feng Zhenchang, and wanted him to save some money in the credit union.
Feng Zhenchang didn't know if he listened or not. Anyway, he was in good spirits. Yes, he was the one who begged this person a few years ago to see if he could borrow a few hundred yuan at the end of the year to make the New Year easier. Now, It's pretty cool to think about it being replaced by a credit union begging him.
"Look, Uncle, the money is put in credit unions outside. The interest rate is higher than in those banks. You have a lot of face when you say it. You have created a big family business in the provincial capital. Those who have never been there don't know. However, if you put some money with us, everyone will believe it."
The interest rate of the credit union is indeed high, one is because the money he loaned out has an interest rate of at least three cents, and it is compound interest, which can give high interest rates.
Secondly, the management of credit unions is very chaotic, and those who are not regular employees will collect savings at high interest rates.
Other banks will at least superficially emphasize the confidentiality of depositors. Credit unions don’t talk about this. People often encounter difficulties and borrow money from him. He will first advise you. How much money has been deposited in our agency? He assures you that there is nothing wrong with you.
There is nothing wrong with Feng Zhenchang, it's just that he has a good face. He couldn't help it before, he was poor, but now his pockets are bulging and he has conditions. He was a little moved by what the credit union said, so he wondered if he could squeeze out ten or twenty thousand yuan. Put it in the credit union to save face.
It doesn't matter to Feng Yiping, as long as he doesn't put too much money, it's good to help his father gain face, as the old saying goes, people have a face.
Mei Qiuping came over to stop him, "I really have no money this year. We put all the money we earned this year into the store, let alone saving money, and now we still owe the bank hundreds of thousands!"
Unexpectedly, the credit union became more determined when they heard this. He is also considered a banker. It is not easy to get a loan of more than 100,000 yuan from the bank. This also proves that they are rich.
"No way, auntie, don't put too much, put tens of thousands of yuan, anyway, the interest rate is higher than that of other banks, so you should help me, okay?"
"It's really not this year, why not next year, next year we must make preparations first, and you helped us a lot in the early years."
When the people from the credit union left, Feng Zhenchang didn't say a word, didn't show any smile on his face, and just drank the strong tea in sips.
Mei Qiuping knew that he was a little angry. Thinking about it, he was quite restrained just now. He didn't argue with her in front of outsiders, so he didn't say a word and went back to clean up.
After spending the evening with guests, two more uninvited guests came, and the village party secretary brought the accountant to the door.
After a long exchange of pleasantries, he finally explained the purpose of his visit, "Uncle, look, you are the first one to buy a car in our village, and you are among the top few in the whole town, but a good car is I can’t drive in. I also want to do something for everyone, and then go home to enjoy the happiness, so I want to work hard to repair this road, but money is a big problem.
You are highly respected in the village, and your family background is the richest. At this time, you stand up and say one sentence, which is better than I can say a hundred sentences, so I thought, first, let’s see if you can come forward to help encourage, and second, Are you taking the lead in donating a sum of money? "
Feng Zhenchang was a little moved by what he said. In the past, those big households in the village would do things like building bridges and paving roads. When he was a child, his family was in a good position, and he helped build a stone bridge. At that time, there was also a monument next to him, engraved with their family's good deeds, but not long after liberation, the monument was smashed.
"How much will it cost?"
The branch secretary glanced at the accountant, is there a door? He became even more excited, "We don't even have the money to find someone to do surveys now. I asked the people in the town to build a machine-plow road that can run two cars in parallel. The total investment will probably be more than two hundred thousand. If you can get a Ten to twenty thousand, then the start-up capital will be there.”
Ten to twenty thousand, Feng Zhenchang did not expressly object, the glory of the fathers!
However, this time, before Mei Qiuping objected, Feng Yiping couldn't stand it.
Village committees like them are rotten to the root. These cadres have no taste at all. Just like the Yuan Opera said, they really snatch the mouth of a swallow, sharpen the iron needle, scrape the golden Buddha face to search carefully, and the quail meat Searching for peas, chopping meat from the legs of egrets, chopping fat from the belly of mosquitoes.
No matter what money is allocated from above, it will not come out when it reaches the village committee. As for over-levying and over-paying, is that still a problem?
Don't look at him as a village party secretary, he doesn't even have a rank, but he makes a lot of money. Just because his family is also a farmer, but he was able to help his son build a three-story building facing the street in the town. It can be seen that he lives on the top and does business on the bottom.
"Hehe, our family is not a wealthy family. The family earned some money with hard work and hard work. The government should worry about major issues such as road construction. My father is not good at being this family. If in the future Everyone in the village agrees to raise funds to repair it by themselves, and that’s fine, as much as you take, our family will take as much.”
"Hehe, Yiping, you are becoming more and more sensible. You haven't married a wife yet, and you can also be your father's house." The branch secretary said with a smile on his face.
Hehe, still playing the trick of sowing discord, Feng Yiping looked at his greasy face, and wanted to spit in the past, this bastard is eating but not beating, and he can't enjoy himself!
"Even if I marry a daughter-in-law, I can't be my father's family. It's just that my parents taught me how to be a person and how to do things since I was a child. For such a big event of hundreds of thousands, you don't want to go to the top to find money when you are a party secretary. Everyone gathers together, and it doesn’t matter if everyone agrees. As soon as there was no village meeting, and the second branch didn’t issue a notice, they just opened their mouths and came to our house to extort money. One mouth was 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, thinking they were all like you Money comes so easily!"
"You child, how do you talk, uncle, aunt, you don't care."
"Whatever, is my brother wrong?" Feng Yuxuan helped Feng Yiping in a rare way.
Feng Zhenchang also reacted. Although everyone smiled when they saw the village cadres, who didn't talk about them behind their backs? Not to mention other things, the village's most important thing is to receive a few people from the town every year, but hundreds of native chickens are eaten every year.
No matter how much money he donates to the village, he can only get a receipt, and then, maybe it will be in someone else's pocket the next day.
"My son is right. Of course, for such a major event, the state must first allocate funds. If the village agrees to raise funds, then I have no problem with how much it should pay. However, how to use and manage the money will have to come up with a charter at that time. , As for now, I don't have any money."
The branch secretary took the accountant away in a desperate manner. Feng Yuxuan was an unforgiving person, and sent a sentence from behind, "Be careful when walking at night, don't fall."
Feng Yiping can understand Feng Zhenchang's feelings. He has been poor for most of his life, and now he has some money. He really wants to do something for the village and make himself famous along the way. This kind of thinking can't be said to be wrong. There are many people who think like him.
"Dad, if you really want to do something, it's easy. Next year, invite some people to build a simple bridge with prefabricated concrete panels on that river, so that we don't have to go barefoot in winter and flood in summer on our way to school." Time to swim from below again.”
"That's right, this kind of thing is more practical. At that time, we will find a few families, pool some money, find a construction team, and repair it more solidly. There is no need to erect monuments or anything. Those who have passed by say our good That's fine." Mei Qiuping said.
"That's right, if you don't have money, start with these things that can be done. If you want to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to build roads, I think he mainly wants to make more money for himself." Feng Yuxuan said.
"Okay, according to what Yiping said, we are not young, so it's good to do such a thing."
Feng Zhenchang and the others still adhere to the concept that good deeds will be rewarded with rewards.
Ps: Hehe, I finally made it out. The four chapters have more than 10,000 words, and I have worked hard!
