Chapter 224
After leaving this unit building, they went to several districts, Jing’an, Changning, Xuhui, these are all public houses, the quality is very good, the environment is not noisy, the two old ladies are very satisfied.
These places are still relatively out of the way, with lots of vacant land, and the built houses are bigger than those in Huangpu.
Madam Feng finally smiled and said: “The house here is a little more like it, it’s bigger than Huangpu’s, and the decoration is okay, it doesn’t have much flavor, I think that Xiao Wu is doing business. Yes, Not Bad.”
“But I heard Brother Rui say,” Mrs. Zhang pointed to her grandson, “The house here is not as valuable as the one in Huangpu. After all, it is a unit in the district, and it is more valuable for the municipality.”
She thought about it, and finally came to a conclusion: “When buying a house, you should choose an important location. A good location is worth more than a big house.”
Mrs. Feng nodded, she still had some understanding of the life of Shanghai people, and said with a sigh, “No, the people on his side work hard, and it takes a long time to go back and forth by car every day. The little ones have to take a car to go to school, so it’s good to live closer.”
Brother Rui smiled and chatted with Mengmeng, and said at this time: “Damn, don’t worry about it, the real city center of Shanghai is only such a small place, and it will definitely be built on the side in the future. If you don’t believe me, you will wait and see.”
He is very confident in this point. Shanghai’s development is like this, or in other words, it is like this in any city, and expansion is inevitable.
If it weren’t for those remote places, where no one is developing yet, Brother Rui would like to buy there first. There is only such thing as buying a house in the world. You can sit and wait to make money, which is much easier than other businesses. .
Although it is cheap, a house like this adds up to a lot of money.
Dawa made an estimate in his heart. He was good at mathematics, and he quickly calculated the number, which was shocked by himself.
He said in surprise: “Even if the house here is 3,000 square meters, a set of this kind will cost around 30, nearly 400,000. The wages of Shanghainese are higher than ours, and it’s only 40,000 square meters. Five hundred, if ordinary people don’t eat or drink, it will take seventy or eighty years to buy them.”
“My God, who will sell this house to?” His eyes flashed in circles, frightened by this number.
Mengmeng corrected him and said, “Brother, you left out one more calculation. A Shanghainese cannot go out to work until he is 18 years old, and he cannot live in a house until he is 100 years old.”
“Hey!” Erwa gasped in shock. He originally thought that more than 300,000 yuan was not that expensive, but he didn’t think that ordinary people couldn’t afford it at all.
He frowned, obviously worried, and said with a sullen face: “Mum, we have so many houses in our hands, and we can’t sell them in the future, what should we do?”
“Who said it couldn’t be sold? So how did we get the house?”
Contrary to his expectations, Mrs. Feng was very calm. She said this: “There are a lot of rich people here in Shanghai, and all the people doing business are gone. These people have made money, so why don’t they buy a house? ?”
She stared at Erwa and said with a lot of life experience: “The kind you are talking about is an ordinary person. Even if he is an ordinary person, there will always be a few rich relatives. If you borrow it, you can get it. The key is what they want to do. I don’t want to buy it.”
According to her observations these days, there are as many people in Shanghai as there are fish in the sea. The city is even more prosperous than Beijing. How could it not be possible to sell a house? You must not worry.
Thinking that Da Wa just took the college entrance examination, she even promised: “Da Wa, if you can get into Shanghai, I will give you a set of the house at home.”
Da Wa didn’t expect such a good thing, he grinned happily, and said slyly, “Nah, what if I get into Beijing? Can you tell the difference?”
This year, in his college entrance examination, he only filled out the volunteers for three places, namely Beijing, Shanghai and the provincial capital.
The whole family, including himself, felt that the provincial capital was more likely, so they asked him to fill in the agricultural university in the province, thinking that Professor Hao was there, and if he could be admitted, he would be taken care of in every aspect.
Madam Feng was not very confident that he was admitted to Beijing, but she still encouraged him by saying: “I will give you points when you pass the test. You also have a second baby, don’t say that grandma doesn’t love you, you all know a house. , it is worth a lot of money, although we are from the countryside, we are not worse than the city people.”
Da Wa agreed again and again, and her smile was sweeter than eating honey.
“Then I’ll thank grandma first. I’m just an adult, and I have a house in hand.”
Seeing his complacent appearance, Mrs Feng couldn’t help pouring cold water on him and said, “Don’t rush to thank him, let’s talk about it when you go to university.”
She still knows Dawa’s grades, it’s neither good nor bad, she barely ranks in the first middle school in the county, and can only be ranked in the middle.
The matter is coming to an end, and Mrs. Feng will no longer force him to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University. She understands that her grandson is not that kind of material. It’s amazing. If her grandson can get into a batch of good universities, she should burn high incense.
Day by day, they lived well in Shanghai. They added a lot of things to their house, and they also appointed Xiao Wu’s company to help manage them, thinking about renting them out as soon as possible. No matter how little the rent is, it is money.
The old man Feng and the old man Zhang, who traded stocks every day, finally earned 20 million more than what Vice President Xu had estimated for them.
The money came for almost nothing, and the two families were so happy to see Tian’er that they laughed in their dreams.
Shanghai was really comfortable, but they had to leave, taking advantage of the heat to deal with the Shenzhen stock.
Old Man Feng urged them to say, “Let’s not waste time in Shanghai, go to Shenzhen quickly, and sell the stock before you can rest assured.”
Both families agreed, so they packed up and hurried back to Taoyuan Village, ready to bring stocks from home, so they went to Shenzhen.
Who would have thought, they just walked into the village when they heard someone shouting.
“Old village chief, you are finally back.” The enthusiastic villager stopped them and said in a loud voice, “Your eldest child’s grades are out. He got high marks in the test and is now admitted to university!”
Everyone was immediately given the news.
Old Man Feng grabbed the villager nervously, and asked repeatedly, “How many marks did the baby get in the test? Has the school notified you?”
The villager was embarrassed. He scratched his hair and said, “Old village chief, I don’t know the score. Someone came to inform me a few days ago. I just listened to it. Anyway, I was admitted to the university!”
He recalled the scene of people coming to the school, and there was awe in his eyes when he looked at Dawa.
Although his age is one round older than Dawa, he is a Wenqu star, and he has all been admitted to university. He will be different from them in the future. He still has this insight.
The villager continued to congratulate: “Old village chief, your eldest child has made a lot of money. First go to be a college student, then graduate, and then become a high-ranking official, you can just sit and enjoy the happiness.”
“Hahaha, it depends on him. What the dolls will do in the future will have to be chosen by themselves.”
The old man Feng was very happy from the inside out. Thinking that Feng Shengli would have such a day, his family was looking forward to it, and finally a college student came. This is more than how many billions he has earned, and he is even happier.
At the moment, they didn’t care about the greetings, they hurried to the house, and when they saw Feng Yimin, they asked, “Yimin, our eldest child, has he been admitted to university?”
“Yeah, Dad.” Feng Yimin was visibly happy. He looked at his eldest son with satisfaction and said, “I got 585 points in the test, and I was admitted to Renmin University in Beijing. Here, the notice is here.”
He solemnly took out an envelope and handed it to Dawa. He didn’t even think that Dawa could do so well in the test.
Su Wan, a mother, also said very excitedly: “The total score is 710. Our eldest child passed the test of 585, which is one point higher than the score line of the National People’s Congress. I almost missed it. It is really a blessing from my ancestors.”
She has always had a regret. Back then, she was admitted to university and finally gave up. She had a university dream in her heart. Now her eldest son makes up for her, she is happier than anyone else.
Da Wa was so excited that he was almost stupid, his mouth was grinning to the back of his head, and he read the admission letter over and over again, and there was no sense of reality at all. ? Why is life so amazing?
This sacred admission letter is passed around in the hands of the whole family.
When it was Mengmeng’s turn, she carefully looked at the cover, turned inside, and looked from the beginning to the end, then she raised her head and said admiringly, “Wow, brother, you are really amazing, you got into such a good university. , I will have a college student brother in the future, and others will envy me.”
“Let them be envious, there are college students in our family.” Erwa also admires her very much. His grades are similar to Dawa’s. Dawa can be admitted to university, and he thinks that he can also be admitted.
The whole family was very excited, but Feng Yimin said regretfully: “The admission notice was sent that day, and you were not there. Oh, that scene, not to mention how grand it was, the school teacher personally sent it, and the Education Bureau also sent it. When I got married, I wanted to beat the gongs and drums, and the whole village ran out to see it, and when I saw it, the whole family was just me and your mother, and it was delivered to us and took pictures.”
He recalled the scene at that time, and Bei’er said proudly, “The people in the village don’t know how envious they are. Everyone congratulates me. If only you were here, eldest child.”
“It’s okay, our notice is real.”
Su Wan said in a very old-fashioned way: “Dawa, you are so good in the test, the teachers in the school are the most credited, and a classmate came to you the day before yesterday, and I want to join you to thank the teacher, yes, it’s your classmate named Xiao, you Hurry up and go there and see if the teachers have anything to say.”
“Okay, I’ll go tomorrow.” Dawa was very excited and agreed immediately.
This is a serious matter, and the family is very supportive. Mrs. Feng also specially prepared a lot of gifts for the big baby to bring to his teacher.
These days, college students are very rare, and all of them are the best of the best. After graduating, you don’t have to worry about work. Those who are directly allocated by the state can eat the public meal, which is better than anything else. In the entire Taoyuan Village, there is not a single college student, and there is only one big baby.
Su Wan is engaged in education, she said very expertly: “This year’s college entrance examination reform, this batch of big babies was admitted as planned, even tuition fees are not required, and I can still receive subsidies every month, I didn’t expect it. , he can be so promising.”
It is still such a good university that her own baby can be admitted to the university. As a mother, the joy in her heart is not to be mentioned.
Dawa ran out the next day, but when she came back, she was a little gloomy.
The whole family was waiting for him. Seeing his bitter melon-like face, Mrs. Feng asked in puzzlement, “What are you doing? Didn’t you go to see the teacher? Why are you wrinkling your face?”
The big baby’s face was even more ugly. He was panting for breath, suddenly patted his thigh hard, and shouted loudly.
“I knew I had applied to Tsinghua University and Peking University. My score was 9 points higher than Tsinghua University and 5 points higher than Peking University!”
The more he spoke, the more regretful he became, and his whole face turned red.
“In our school, there was a person who was lower than me in the test, and he was admitted to Peking University.”
“Ah? There is such a thing? What is this saying?”
Everyone was startled, and quickly asked Dawa, and then they figured out the whole story.
It turned out that Dawa took the science subject in high school and took a total of seven exams, with a perfect score of 710. He got 585 on the exam, which greatly exceeded his score in the mock exam.
Big baby regrets it, he slaps his thighs and hammers his chest again.
“Our school’s broken simulation is completely opposite to other people’s real college entrance examination. I am very good in English, math is also good, and others fail in politics. I got 80 points. Oh, I regret it, why don’t I? Report to Tsinghua University and Peking University? No matter how bad it is, it’s better to report to Fudan University, my score is even higher than Fudan University.”
He really didn’t expect this. He passed the mock exams well, and he filled out the volunteers based on the results. He still ate the gall of a bear and a leopard before filling the National People’s Congress. Otherwise, even the National People’s Congress would not be able to get it. Who would have thought When the results of the college entrance examination came out, he played so much beyond the ordinary.
Tsinghua University, Peking University, I just missed it.
The big baby regretted that his bowels were turning green, and he wished that he could travel back and give himself a stinky meal when he filled in the volunteers at that time.
The family was speechless for a while, and they all felt very heartache. It’s not that the eldest child’s grades were not in place, and the scores were obviously exceeded, but they didn’t dare to report when filling out the volunteers, and they missed the best school.
“It’s all life.” Old Man Feng sighed.
He said it was not a pity, it was impossible. After all, Tsinghua University and Peking University were good schools that everyone knew, and his grandson was almost able to be admitted. Now it has become a National People’s Congress. Although it is good, it is worse after all. a little something.
Up to now, he can only comfort himself and say that this is the arrangement of fate.
Madam Feng didn’t think about it too much. In her mind, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Renmin University were all about the same. Aren’t they all good universities.
She said happily, “You don’t have to regret it, eldest son, the National People’s Congress is very good. You can hear the name of the school, the Renmin University of China, and it will go straight to the national name. You should study hard, and being admitted to a university is only the first step. There is still a long way to go in life.”
In such a short time, she has already made plans for the big baby.
“It’s good to go to Beijing. It’s better than Shanghai. Beijing has your grandparents and they can take care of you. Our family also has a place to live in Beijing. I can rest assured when you go to Beijing.”
She touched her eldest grandson’s head and said very kindly, “don’t think about those unhappy things, be happy, this is a happy event, a great thing.”
That’s true, the big guy finally showed a belated laugh, and even the big baby laughed. After all, there are still so many people in his school who have not passed the entrance examination. If he can pass the entrance examination, it is already a victory.
After comforting the eldest child, Madam Feng repeatedly urged her daughter-in-law: “Xiao Wan, hurry up and call your parents and your mother to tell them the good news. By the end of August, we will let the eldest child go to Beijing first. “
“Mom, I’ll fight right now.”
In fact, Su Wan had already called, but it didn’t prevent her from calling again.
Although she married in the countryside, she has a promising man and a child. Facts have proved that her choice was not wrong. She wants to share this joy with her family.
The whole family was laughing around the big baby, and Mengmeng adored her so much. She blinked her star eyes, and in her mind, she remembered the scene of the big baby reading.
The more she thought about it, the more beautiful she became. She jumped on Dawa’s knee, raised her face and said coquettishly, “Brother, you are the best. When you go to Beijing to study, I will go to Beijing to find you. Let’s talk to Sister Xianghua, Brother Xiang Yuan and the others go to play together.”
Dawa supported her in time and said cheerfully, “Okay, Mengmeng, you come to Beijing, you don’t need to find anyone else, my brother can take you everywhere to play.”
He understands that regret is useless. The admission letter has come down, and this matter cannot be changed. Rather than complaining about it, it is better to accept it happily. After she figured it out, Dawa was also happy, and she was full of longing for going to college.
Although old man Feng said it was a pity, he was not particularly regretful. The National People’s Congress is also a good school. There is a popular saying among them: No matter how good Tsinghua University and Peking University are, it is not as good as the National People’s Congress. Because the National People’s Congress is the place where the sons and daughters of officials study.
He touched his chin and said happily, “Da Wa, you have made me a big face this time. Let me see, you are the only college student in our Feng family, and the first college student in our village.”
“Just for this, I, Feng Shengli, will be worth it in my life, and I will be able to raise my head in front of my ancestors in the future.”
There were tears in his eyes, he blinked, and quickly disappeared again, and continued to say happily: “So I decided to put a running water table for you to celebrate and celebrate.”
Old man Feng said that if he wanted to set up a water table, he would definitely do it. He has done a wide range of business, the scene is big, he made calls one by one, and sent out invitations one by one, so he gathered a large group of people, picked an auspicious day, and prepared to celebrate vigorously.
When the day comes, people from the whole village come, as well as relatives and friends from Shili Baxiang, as well as many big bosses and officials from the city. Everyone is on the grain drying field. The group sat down and waited for the table to start.
Old man Feng has been in business for a long time, and the scene is very down to earth.
“Folks and friends, thank you very much for coming to my grandson’s entrance banquet.”
Old man Feng stood on the podium that had been set up temporarily, his gums sticking out of laughter, he patted the big baby next to him on the shoulder, and said modestly, “My grandson, I don’t have much to do, and I got 585 points in the exam. I was admitted to Renmin University in Beijing.”
He laughed, clearly speaking the opposite.
“Although he is not very promising, but I am a grandfather, and I am happy, so I invite everyone to come, have a good time together, and be happy with this old man like me.”
Speaking of which, he also bowed his hands to the guests.
“You can come, just to give me Feng Shengli’s face. Don’t be polite. You must eat and drink more. If you eat and drink happily, I will be happy too. Well, I won’t say much nonsense. , everyone, let’s eat.”
He waved his hand dashingly, and went down with his eldest grandson, sitting at a table with his family.
After a while, the dishes were served one by one. For today’s banquet, Old Man Feng called all the waiters in the hotel. Worried that there would not be enough, he also hired several people from outside.
The chefs who cook are also professional. They not only invited the chefs from Feng Lao’er Hotel, but also the chef class in the hotel, so that all the chefs came to help.
I have to say that the dishes made by professionals are not the same. The taste is quite good, so I won’t talk about it. I only talk about the color, shape and arrangement of the dishes. To be fooled, the guests were all taken aback by Old Man Feng’s generosity.
