Chapter 251
These days, the old lady Feng is walking with wind, she is happy, Mengmeng has made great achievements, and her grandma is also honored and praised by everyone.
No, as soon as she walked to the intersection of the village, the old aunt next door caught her and said, “Wa’er, his aunt Feng, will worship the ancestors during the Qingming Festival in two days. Do you want to make red peach cakes in your family?”
Madam Feng nodded as a matter of course and said, “Yes, what are you doing?”
The old aunt took the old lady Feng’s arm, and after thinking about it, she still said cheekily, “That’s right, I want to ask you a favor. Your family makes red rice kueh, can you ask my daughter-in-law to help? When I’m pregnant with a baby, I want her to feel the joy of your Mengmeng.”
“This…” Madam Feng didn’t expect it to be like this, she said puzzledly, “You don’t know whether your daughter-in-law is a boy or a girl in her belly, so you just made up your mind.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a man or a woman, it’s always right to be happy. I don’t ask my grandchildren to come down. She’s as smart as your Mengmeng. As long as she’s a little bit smarter, I should burn high incense.”
The old aunt stretched out her little tail finger, showing a lost gesture, and continued to beg, “He Feng aunt, I beg you to help me with this, okay?”
This is the custom of their village. When a daughter-in-law is about to have a baby, she always goes to the family of the person who has a happy event to make the baby more fortunate.
The year before last year, Mrs. Feng had a big baby, a college student, and many daughters-in-law went to her house to make offerings.
Looking at his old aunt’s staring expression, Mrs. Feng was overjoyed.
She is not a stingy person either, so she wished that someone would come over to help, so she laughed and said, “You’re welcome, his old aunt, even if you ask your daughter-in-law to come to my house, we won’t let her get tired, so let her sit on the side. , dipped in flour or something.”
“Hey.” The old aunt smiled happily, and patted Mrs. Feng’s arm in a hurry and said, “Aunt Feng, you are the best person. I thank you for my future baby.”
Madam Feng clapped her hand and said, “It’s not worth anything. Our village folks, this is what it should be. The fifth uncle who lives in the back alley and his daughter-in-law also want to go to my house.”
Mrs. Feng was right. On the day she arrived at her house to make Hong Tao Kueh, all the pregnant women in the village went, and those who were not pregnant and were about to become pregnant also went. They all wanted to make the baby happy. Do a little help, and be a little more cheerful.
Because of this, Mrs. Feng and the elders hardly needed to do anything. Seeing these daughters-in-law make red rice kueh, they even made leeks. The leeks were brought by themselves, and they also steamed two large ones. Cage buns.
After the old lady Feng waited for them to leave, she inspected the rice cakes and buns one by one, and found that they were better than her own, so she laughed very happily.
“It’s all about us Mengmeng’s bright future, and our family has followed you. I don’t see anyone in the village as beautiful as us, and so many daughters-in-law are here to help.”
Taoyuan Village has been like this since ancient times. Whoever has a happy event at home, the more people who come to help with work, the more face they will have.
What Mrs. Feng wanted was this face. Look at their family’s offerings, but they were all made with the help of the whole village. The ancestors would definitely like it.
When she finished worshiping her ancestors on Qingming Festival, she said to old man Feng in private, “Do you remember that we went to Guangzhou to worship the Wenchang Temple before? Mengmeng has a bright future, and I thought that Emperor Wenchang was blessing her. I prepared two God, go to Guangzhou to repay her vows, and then ask Emperor Wenchang to continue to bless us Mengmeng.”
Old Man Feng agreed in his heart, but said with some embarrassment, “Who is going with you? I can’t find time recently.”
The old lady Feng said in a high spirit, “I don’t need you to accompany me. I have already agreed with Osmanthus. Her brother Rui is also going to take the college entrance examination next year. She also wants to go to Guangzhou and pay homage to Emperor Wenchang.”
The old man Feng had nothing to worry about, so he explained, “Oh, then you all be careful, and come back when you go to play.”
“Understood, we will go the day after tomorrow, just to inform you at once.”
After Mrs. Feng finished speaking, she covered herself with the quilt, leaving Mr. Feng alone, dumbfounded. How dare this old lady have already arranged things, so the only thing left is to inform him? When did he become so insignificant?
Regardless of whether old man Feng was happy or not, her old wife and old lady Zhang went to Guangzhou on the third day.
These days, the transportation is convenient, and there is no need for a letter of introduction when traveling far away.
Logically speaking, they should be back in a day or two, but the old Feng family and the old Zhang family waited for five, six, seven or eight days before they returned to the two old ladies.
“What have you been doing for so long? If I hadn’t called every day, I would have gone to find you.”
Old Man Feng’s tone contained condemnation, and so did Old Man Zhang. These two old men were very uncomfortable with being left out in the cold.
Madam Feng smiled and said, “We not only went to Guangzhou, but also to Hainan. Guess what I bought there? I bought a few houses, right by the sea, and the sand is whiter than ours. “
Old Man Feng said in surprise, “Ah? You still bought a house? Why didn’t you tell me on the phone?”
Madam Feng waved her hand and said, “What are you talking about, it’s just a few houses, so you can buy them if you buy them. Let me tell you, old man, the houses in Hainan are getting cheaper. It’s more than 7,000 yuan, and it’s sold for 4,000 yuan this year, a total of 3,000 yuan less.”
The old man Feng suddenly realized, “Oh, the intermediary took you to Ganqing. Why are you so big, and you go to Hainan with others, you are not afraid that they will deceive you.”
Ma Guihua said a fair word at this time, “Victory, don’t blame Yufeng, the intermediary who took us to is all sent by the government. They solicit customers in front of the city government, and leave when the car is full. You can eat and drink, you live in the best guest houses, and you don’t lie at all.”
She took out a few big red books and said, “The houses we bought are also complete with procedures. They are right next to the beach in Sanya. They are similar to ours, and they are all villas.”
Brother Rui opened the red certificates and looked at them. When he saw the address on the property certificate, his eyes narrowed.
He handed the real estate certificate to the others, and said with certainty, “Milk, there is nothing wrong with these houses, but you are still cheated by the agency, and the house is not worth that much money at all.”
Madam Zhang asked in confusion, “Why? I think it’s already very cheap, like picking up cabbage. A big villa with a big yard only cost me 1 million, and the extra area will be given away. Yes, and also a seaside yacht seat.”
Seeing that everyone’s eyes were attracted to him, Brother Rui said calmly, “Dam, the house we bought in Shenzhen last year was only 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per flat, and it’s still in the special economic zone.”
He analyzed, “What advantages does Hainan have? It’s just a deserted island. Where birds don’t poop, real estate has collapsed. Many owners who built houses have run away. The houses there don’t need to be sold so expensive.”
Madam Zhang was a little unconvinced, she raised the bar and said, “But it’s just so expensive.”
Brother Rui spread his hands and said, “It’s all fired up, and no one is willing to take over now. The intermediary who fooled you to buy a house in Hainan must have taken you for granted.”
Seeing his grandmother glaring at him, he quickly flattered and said, “But, your decision to buy these houses is not wrong. In the long run, the price will still increase, but it will take many years.”
Madam Zhang came to her senses and felt that what Brother Rui said made sense. She said with some regret, “Shenzhen is a special economic zone, and the houses there are supported by the state, so it’s hard to say other places. If you don’t buy it, you won’t buy it in the future. Now, you are the only child in our family, and we can’t live in so many houses.”
Mrs. Zhang has already given up. She doesn’t understand the things about these houses, so she doesn’t plan to invest blindly, so as not to be fooled.
But at this time, Brother Rui teased her and said, “This is only a few houses, not too many, grandma, we still have to continue to buy houses.”
The old lady Zhang was so angry that she just wanted to hit him, “You stinky boy, why do you have a reason to say it? You say, why do you want to buy a house? I can’t say one, two or three. Never buy again.”
Brother Rui restrained his joking expression, and finally said with a serious face, “Grandma, this is a great opportunity, let’s not consider Hainan for now, it’s not worth much for now. But other places are developing, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, including us. In the provincial capital, so many people are pouring in, there are many opportunities, and the land and houses are still cheap.”
Mrs. Zhang glanced at him, and asked uncertainly, “You mean, you want to buy some land and houses to settle, what are you working on?”
“Just keep it. It will be a good income to build or sell houses in the future.” Brother Rui said with a smile.
In the eyes of old lady Zhang, hoarding land and houses is of no use.
But Brother Rui is different. He made plans early on. If there is a chance, he still wants to develop real estate.
It is 1994, and the value of the land has not yet been reflected. Many people do not realize how easy it is to own a house in the city center in the future.
If there is any business better than real estate in the next ten or twenty years, there must be none. So, Brother Rui took aim at this industry early.
His current goal is to collect a little more land, preferably land in first-tier cities, which will be of great use in the future.
However, it is not so easy to operate this matter. First of all, his identity is not easy to start.
Brother Rui thought about it, but he could only ask his master and say, “Master, I heard from you last time. You have friends in Hong Kong, right? How is your relationship with your friend?”
Ling Xuzi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and asked him calmly, “What do you want to do?”
Brother Rui pretended to be honest and said, “Don’t do anything, Master, I just want to ask someone for a favor.”
Ling Xuzi didn’t believe him, he asked, “You kid, what tricks do you want to play?”
Brother Rui didn’t plan to hide it from him, so he told Ling Xuzi of his plan.
“Master, there is too much cash in my company, and it is a waste to keep it in the bank. I plan to use the money to buy land.”
In order to convince his master, Rui Geer also gave an example, “In the past few years, Shanghai has developed the Pudong New Area. I heard that in order to attract foreign investment, they only charge a token amount of land money for foreigners with foreign investment, and there are many preferential policies. , they all give loans to build houses, and we don’t have such a discount.”
“I’m a Chinese. Why can’t I enjoy preferential treatment on Chinese soil? Why are foreigners enjoying it? So I just wanted to ask your Hong Kong friend for a favor and let him help over there. I register a company.”
Ling Xuzi finally understood, he suddenly realized, “Oh, so you want to find someone to help you get a leather bag company, it’s simple, there are many people in Hong Kong who do this kind of thing, you don’t need to go to acquaintances, You just have to spend the money.”
Brother Rui shook his head and said, “Master, this company says it’s a leather bag company, but it’s not really a leather bag company. I’m going to use it to do business in China. If the business becomes bigger in the future, the legal person of the company over there will find you. What do you do here?”
Brother Rui knew about it in advance, and he said very expertly, “I heard that they are just looking for someone to act as a person, and they don’t know us. How can they guarantee his character? So, you still need to find someone you can trust. .”
Ling Xuzi didn’t expect so much attention, and even praised Brother Rui.
“You kid is thinking a long way. Well, I’ll help you and ask my friend.”
Brother Rui finally seized the opportunity. He asked curiously, “Master, is that friend you mentioned the old monk who saved you last time? Who is he? How did you meet?”
Ling Xuzi didn’t speak for a long time, as if he was caught in a memory, and suddenly he let out a long sigh, as if all the past events were drowned in this faint emotion.
He looked at the curious apprentice beside him, but in the end he didn’t tell him the truth, only said, “Zhiyuan has known me for decades. Don’t ask who he is, I’ll call him.”
The efficiency of this call was quite fast. The old monk Zhiyuan not only set up a leather bag company for Brother Rui in Hong Kong, but also sent a person to him.
The person who came was a young monk named Shi Mingwu, who was just eighteen years old this year.
He came to the village alone, wearing a green shirt and trousers printed with coconut trees, **** sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and hair stubble has grown on his originally bare head. It doesn’t come out that he is a monk.
Brother Rui didn’t believe it, he looked suspiciously at Shi Mingwu’s clothes, and his head, which had no ring scar on it, and when he saw the other party’s smiling face, he became even more suspicious.
“Are you really a monk? Wouldn’t it be a flower monk?”
His words were originally just a test, but Shi Mingwu suddenly laughed.
“Hahaha, you’ve seen it all. My master said that I’m not in the world, so he won’t let me take the ordination, and let me come to the mainland to see the world first, your company is me as a legal person, you can give me a salary. Just fine.”
He jumped over, hooked Brother Rui’s shoulder and said, “Boss Zhang, I will follow you in the future. Brother, my name is Shi Mingwu, you can just call me Mingwu.”
His identity must be real, and Brother Rui finally saw clearly his temperament. He should be a very easy-going and cheerful person. He also patted the other person on the shoulder and said, “Don’t call me boss, Ming Brother Wu, you are one year older than me, so call me A Rui in the future.”
