Chapter 1597 Uncle Opens a Supermarket

Playing cards and drinking. On New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, we visit the graves to pay respect to our ancestors, and then continue playing cards and drinking.

On the second day of the new year, we visit relatives, play cards, and drink.

Relatives come to visit relatives, play cards, and drink.

In the past, it felt that there were too few entertainment activities, so everyone could only play cards.

Now I realize that no matter how many other entertainments there are, playing cards seems to be the most core entertainment activity during the Chinese New Year.

For example, before there was no TV, everyone liked to play cards during the Chinese New Year, and after there was TV, everyone still liked to play cards.

Now we not only have TV, but also computers and smartphones with various games to play.

But children have a lot of fun playing these things, and adults still seem to like playing cards. And those children who originally liked to play games seem to like playing cards instead of playing games when they grow up.

So the Spring Festival life in the countryside seems to have entered a vicious circle. As long as the time comes and the age is reached, they can sit at the card table.

Life at the end of the year is basically drinking and playing cards. Playing cards, drinking.

"I really can't drink anymore, little grandpa. If I go back with my dad, he will punish me again. I haven't been drunk for a day since I came back from the New Year. So let's stop here, otherwise not only my dad will punish me, but my little grandma will definitely punish me too."

At the dinner table, Yang Dongxu, with a red face, reached out to cover his wine glass. Seeing that the little grandpa reached out to take the bottle to pour wine for him personally, he quickly took off the quilt and put it behind him.

"Don't drink anymore, you will stink after drinking." Little Wenchen shouted beside him.

The little grandpa, who was about to get angry when he saw Yang Dongxu hiding the wine glass behind him, suddenly dissipated the dark clouds on his face when he heard what his little Wenchen said.

At this time, the wife's persuasion was useless, and the child's words were useful. So the wine party ended, and everyone started to remove the plates and bowls on the table with Yang's mother and little grandma, and the men started to drink tea and chat.

Yang Dongxu, who was a little confused, regretted letting his grandfather know that Zhou Ya could drive. Otherwise, he could use the excuse that he drove here and didn't drink, but now this excuse is obviously gone.

The content of the chat between men is different from that of women. Women chat about family matters, such as whose boy got married this year, whose daughter-in-law ran away, whose family had a baby this year, and whose family had a baby this year.

The chat between men is basically all kinds of nonsense, and in the end, they basically turn to bragging. And they are all autobiographical bragging.

For example, the grandfather is now talking about his deeds when he drove a car to the south, and he once went to the northwest to pull coal. That's a perfect male protagonist in a Jianghu novel.

It's as if he was not driving a large truck at that time, but holding a three-foot green sword and riding a snow-stepping BMW. All kinds of people blocked the road to rob the plate number, and all kinds of people who like each other became sworn brothers.

Basically, every story ends with me not being scared, the other party either being scared, or knowing the truth and not taking action.

Although the story is exciting, there is no scene of white knife in and red knife out. It seems that everyone is just for show.

Of course, it is also possible that there are no scars on your body. You are talking about how you fought three times with a knife, and you only have a few knife wounds among a group of people.

Then you lift your clothes to let people see the knife wounds on your body, so that the bragging is perfect.

If you say that you fought three times with a knife and you were not hurt at all, and they are all relatives, who doesn’t know each other, this is undoubtedly a bit too much.

At noon, we eat all kinds of food and drinks on the table until more than one o'clock, and then we go back to chat until three or four o'clock.

Then the man, with a cigarette in his mouth, calls all the children in the village to come and carry the yellow paper and firecrackers placed on the window or the firewood pile next to them to go to the field to visit the grave.

Although Yang Dongxu has also established a family and is the pillar of the family, he can only be regarded as following his father Yang.

Because this was to visit the graves of Yang Ma's grandparents, these two were Yang Dongxu's great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Yang Dongxu had never seen them.

A group of people came to the field.

To see whether a family is prosperous or not, you don't need to look at other things, just look at the graves of the deceased elders when visiting relatives at the end of the year.

A group of people who came to the field must have many brothers or sisters.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when we came back from the field. It gets dark earlier in winter. So basically it was almost sunset at this time.

So I politely declined to stay overnight, and continued to drink at night. Zhou Ya drove the family and waved goodbye to the elders who were sent to the village entrance and started to go home.

"Grandpa and grandma are not as strong as they were in the past two years." Zhou Ya couldn't help but say.

"There is no way because of their age. I bought a lot of supplements, but the elderly can't absorb too many supplements at this age." Yang Ma said helplessly.

Before, I was at home all year round, and I came to Qianzhuang every three or five days to see my parents, but I didn't feel much.

After staying in Yanjing for a while, when I came back to see my parents, I suddenly felt that they had aged a lot. It seemed that their bodies had suddenly weakened a lot.

"Find a good day during the summer vacation and take grandpa and grandma out to play. They are so old now. Let's not talk about going abroad. We must see more of the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland."

Yang Dongxu said.

"Go, we must go this year, even if they refuse. Bring your grandparents and your father-in-law, but I don't know if he agrees.

By the way, didn’t the rural tourism company in our village say that there are tour groups for the elderly?

If you are too busy to take the time, your mother and I will pay for a tour group and take the elderly to travel around. "Dad Yang clapped his hands and decided the matter.

Compared to being able to make decisions for grandparents and grandparents, Dad Yang still felt a little uneasy about Yang Dongxu's father-in-law, that is, his own in-laws.

This uneasy feeling was not because he had treated Zhou Ya badly, or done anything wrong.

This was mainly because an ordinary person admired a person with his own personality.

After all, Dad Yang only went to junior high school, and he dropped out of school before finishing the first year of junior high school. And his in-law Zhou Yiren was a true scholar.

Not only was he a teacher at Yanjing University, but he was also a high-ranking official. Back then, he was a member of the brain think tank for the leader. It can be said that he was the best of the best Chinese.

For such a person, no matter who stood in front of him, they would probably feel a little uneasy.

So when it comes to arranging things, he must be arranging things for others. It is impossible for Dad Yang to arrange things for him.

"If my dad doesn't want to go, then don't go. It's just right for him to stay at home and keep company with Grandpa Xuan and look after the house. "Zhou Ya said with a smile.

When Zhou Yiren was a think tank, he didn't just study and research all kinds of information submitted by the subordinates and then talk about it on paper.

Many policies need to go through a lot of social research and regional practice before they can be promoted nationwide.

So as one of the think tanks, Zhou Yiren traveled a lot across the country in order to seek truth from facts. Therefore, he has seen almost everything he should see.

For the modern development of the motherland, there is no need to see the prosperity of first-tier cities. He only needs to see that the lives of the farmers around him are getting better day by day.

In addition, he After being in Yangjia Village for a long time, the city and provincial leaders have gotten used to the peace.

If you go out, you must have a team of health doctors. After all, your status is here after retirement, and you usually study social current affairs. During the National Day, you will be greeted by people who go to Beijing to watch the ceremony.

This is the minimum standard configuration. If this team is formed, it is okay if the local leaders don’t know about it when they go to other places. After knowing it, they will definitely receive it. This is the minimum etiquette.

So there is nothing I want to see. If I go out and there are a lot of people around me, it’s troublesome, so I might as well not go out.

As for Grandpa Xuan, he can't walk even if he wants to go out.

The stubborn old man has started to use a cane now. He used to be very strict with little Wenchen, but now when little Wenchen is lazy, he will smile kindly. This stubborn old man is really old now.

So although he is more than ten years older than Yang Dongxu's grandparents and looks better, Grandpa Xuan is not willing to go out.

What he thinks about most now is to cultivate little Wenchen. The sapling must grow well and can't be like his father.

Then when the time comes, he can lie in the coffin. .

He has already chosen a cemetery for himself, right on the riverside in front of Yangjia Village.

His biggest hobby now is fishing, but if he builds a grave near the reservoir, he is afraid that it will ruin the good place of his younger sister Dandan's family.

It is just right to be buried on the riverside, because the Yang family happens to have a piece of land there. The reason why Yang Dongxu grew so strong when he was young was mostly because of the meat he gave him.

So he was buried in the Yang family's land. It's a stinky piece of land, so it's a stinky piece of land. Yang Dongxu owes him, so he has to accept it even if he doesn't like it.

"By the way, what about the uncle's plan to open a big supermarket on a piece of land in the village? "Yang Dongxu asked.

Compared to Xiaowu and others who were going to get rural buses and open a driving school.

My uncle has been a little restless in recent years and wanted to tinker with something, but he didn't figure out anything, and he even lost some money.

However, compared to the previous mess, the whole family suffered after losing money, and now the Yang family has a strong financial foundation. My uncle is now a father, and he is no longer indifferent, and he still has some control in his heart.

So he only quarreled with my aunt about losing money, and there was nothing else. The vegetable greenhouse at home, the medicinal materials in the field, plus Yang Dongxu's other convenient help. The daily life is still within the scope of Yangjia Village.

During this period, other people in the village wanted to make up for something in this rural tourism, so my uncle wanted to find Yang's father to discuss whether his family could do something to increase income.

Yang's father was definitely unwilling, not because of this The brother is not reliable, but the pig farm is really busy and he has no time to take care of other things.

After Zhou Ya knew about this, she gave her uncle an idea. Let him get a piece of land in the village to open a larger comprehensive supermarket.

In the past, the customer flow of such a large supermarket might be a problem, but now there are tourists to supplement it, and people who have gone out to work in the past two years have gradually returned. Such a large supermarket will undoubtedly have customer flow, so it will not be a small profit if it is done well in a year.

More importantly, the logistics of the supermarket can be completely affiliated with Millennium Supermarket. You can just make a list of what goods you need, and you don’t have to worry about things like procurement and transportation.

And it is the logistics and transportation of Millennium Supermarket, because Millennium Supermarket purchases goods in large quantities, the goods are good, the price is low, and the profit is higher.

"The procedures have been sent to the town, and there is no problem in the town, but you have to go to the city again. It is said that Yangjia Village is a key village planned for rural tourism, so the land approval must be agreed and arranged by the higher authorities.

But it shouldn't be a big problem. Your brother-in-law is contacting sand and gravel and building materials these days. He will build a house when the soil thaws. Zhou Ya means to lay the foundation and build the iron greenhouse on top. This is convenient and fast.

Your brother-in-law felt that it would be embarrassing, so he planned to build a three-story building. Initially, he wanted to build a five-story building. If he wanted to build it, he would build it as big as possible, and he would also install an escalator inside.

Let him fiddle with it. I will pay him whatever the difference is when the time comes, and you don't have to pay. Anyway, if you do it right under your nose, you won't lose much even if you lose money in the end. "Dad Yang said.

Father Yang agrees with the idea of ​​opening a large supermarket. After all, he is a person who travels frequently and has seen the world, so he still has some business acumen.

But his brother insisted on building a three-story building. Originally, he even wanted to build a five-story building, saying that it would be as grand as building a large shopping mall like the one in the city.

They also built an escalator and a children's playground on the first floor. They completely copied the appearance of a large comprehensive supermarket in the city. Father Yang rolled his eyes and scolded him.

The aunt was a little unconvinced at first. She felt that since she was doing something, she wanted to be the best. Moreover, Zhou Ya came up with this idea and it would definitely make money. Since it makes money, wouldn’t it make more money if it was bigger and more luxurious?

In the end, Zhou Ya could easily do some calculations, and it would cost at least several million to get such a place. This does not include land, decoration, or other miscellaneous things, it is just the money for the main building.

10 million is a small amount to get it all done, and it is still small, really large, with at least five floors and ten acres of land like my uncle, it still requires hundreds of millions of funds.

In an instant, the aunt began to scold the uncle for not knowing his last name just after he had two dollars.

Therefore, the building land currently being applied for is only two acres, and not all of it is built on. There is also enough open space at the door for a parking lot or something.

At the same time, forget about the so-called children's playground on the first floor. Let's turn it all into shelves selling various agricultural products. You can draw an area to build water tanks and buy some seafood.

This is a rare item for local business, and tourists cannot go inland to eat seafood.

Chengwang City Millennium Supermarket has such an area, the business is quite good, and it is also convenient to get goods from there.

There are clothes on the second floor, and some brand shops on the third floor, such as watches or gold shops.

With the reputation of the Yang family here as a guarantee, everyone must believe in the authenticity of the product, so even though the place is small, as long as people believe it is genuine, don't try to fool people with fakes.

Basically, this supermarket makes a profit for a year, which is enough for my uncle to be ranked in Yangjiacun.

"I asked people to tell my uncle about some things about the goods in the supermarket, as well as management and other aspects of snow pattern, so that he can learn from it. Dad, you should also learn from me. Although the supermarket belongs to my uncle's house, you don't want to Intervene.

But my brother-in-law will definitely go to heaven if there is no one to take care of him. So you should also learn a little bit. If not proficient, at least understand a little bit. When the time comes when your brother-in-law doesn't do anything right, you will know how to scold him. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"Just do it this way, and I'll follow suit."
