Chapter 162: The strange uncle and his brother-in-law, Mo’s mother and
On the first day of the new year, the whole family got up late.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue, the two youngest members of the family, paid New Year greetings to Chen Feng, his uncle, and his uncle who lived at home, saying auspicious words, "Congratulations on getting rich, bring me the red envelope."
Chen Feng had already prepared. He took out two red envelopes directly from his coat pocket and handed them to his two little nieces, giving each of them a thousand lucky money.
“Thank you, uncle!”
The two little girls also understood the benefits of money at this time, and happily came over and each took a sip on his face.
It was their uncle's turn. The uncle was very proactive. Without waiting for the two little girls to say auspicious words, he immediately took out two red envelopes that he had prepared and handed one to each of them.
Then under the guidance of their mother, they shouted "Thank you uncle" together.
However, afterwards, his sister-in-law Li Guihong opened the red envelopes and saw that they were 100 each, and she couldn't help but secretly pouted.
It has been several years since I gave my daughter lucky money, and now I finally gave it to her, but it was only one hundred, which must be too little.
After lunch, the whole Chen family and uncle Zhao Guozhong went to their uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.
This is a tradition that Chen Feng and his family have started since he was a child. Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they go over to pay New Year greetings to their uncle, and by the way, their uncle who has not been divorced before is also included.
Later, their uncle passed away, but their family tradition has not changed because their uncle is still alive, as well as their uncle’s son and daughter.
So, every year on the first day of the first lunar month, I still go to my uncle’s house to pay New Year greetings.
This may be the so-called "uncle is the greatest in the world" among the people. According to traditional folk customs, among all relatives, the uncle generally has the highest status.
When I was a kid, it was very troublesome to go to my uncle's house because of the inconvenient transportation. I had to transfer twice and go in a long circle. The roads were not good and it was inconvenient to take my children with me.
But more than ten years ago, after the roads were built on both sides, it became more convenient. It takes about thirty or forty minutes to ride a bicycle, and it is a dozen minutes faster to get there by motorcycle, and it is the same with a car.
Of course they all drove there this time, one for each brother.
Only then did my uncle Zhao Guozhong find out that each of the brothers had a car, and he couldn't help being surprised and envious.
He took Chen Feng’s car and sat in the passenger seat. He smiled and said to Chen Feng: “A Feng, how about you lend me this car for a few days?”
"Not very good." Chen Feng refused directly and said, "My car has been used these days."
Zhao Guozhong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then you can lend me the car in a few days when you have no use for it." "
"Can you drive?" Chen Feng asked angrily.
"Look what you said." Zhao Guozhong glared and said, "I have had a driver's license for several years. I also have a car in the Northeast, but the road is too far and I haven't driven here. I'm going there in a few days. Find a few friends to connect with, there are girls, it’s convenient to go out, and you have face.”
Chen Feng said perfunctorily: “Let’s talk about it.”
Zhao Guozhong immediately turned to Zhao Xiaolan in the back seat and said: "Sister, I'm going to see a girl in a few days. My friend introduced me to her. She owns a beauty shop and has a son who is in college. Then you ask Ah Feng to lend her to me." The car started."
Zhao Xiaolan immediately asked with concern: "How long has it been since the divorce? Where is she from?"
"I have seen the photo. , still on WeChat I talked to her once. She was forty-five years old and she looked like she was in her thirties. After all, she ran a beauty shop and knew how to dress up and take care of herself. Her husband died in a car accident a few years ago. There's a beauty shop in our town."
"It sounds pretty good, then go and have a look. Ah Feng, you can drive the car to your uncle then."
Chen Feng was speechless for a while.
"A Feng, did you hear what your mother said?" Zhao Guozhong asked proudly.
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, "My car is only 200,000 yuan, which is a bit shabby. I think you might as well rent a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or something like that, or an Audi. That's fine. Come on. Your blind date success rate will definitely increase a lot."
Zhao Guozhong's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "You are quite good. I'm smart. But renting a car isn't cheap. I don't know where to rent one. "
"Okay. I'll take you there then. "
"I mean you can rent one for me, but I don't understand, so I won't go."
"Then give me your ID card, driver's license and a thousand yuan, and I will help you go through the procedures."
"It's so troublesome, then I'll drive your car."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him again and did not answer.
The two exchanged words, but no one took advantage.
As for lending a car to my uncle, he would definitely refuse. This is not stingy, but knowing that your uncle is unreliable and lending him a car, isn't it causing trouble for yourself? He's not that stupid.
As for his mother, Chen Feng will have plenty of ways to deal with it when the time comes.
Ten minutes later, I arrived at my uncle’s house. My aunt, her two children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and their children were all there. It was quite lively.
Chen Feng’s eldest cousin is thirty-six years old this year and has a son. His eldest cousin is thirty-eight years old and has a daughter and a son.
Now that Chen Feng and his whole family are here, plus a brother-in-law, it becomes even more lively.
After sending New Year's greetings, the two families chatted for a while, mainly the mother and the eldest aunt, then the elder brother and the eldest cousin, and Chen Feng chatted with the eldest cousin-in-law for a while.
Then, the elders from both sides give lucky money to the grandchildren. There are not many children each, only two or three hundred, just for good luck.
After chatting here for a while, my uncle suggested starting a bet and he would be the banker.
In addition to Chen Feng and Chen Dayong, Chen Rui, his eldest cousin, and his eldest cousin's husband all responded positively.
Then the betting started, and Chen Dayong finally followed suit under his brother-in-law's repeated invitations.
Zhao Guozhong also persuaded Chen Feng, but Chen Feng just took his mobile phone and pretended to make a call and went out.
The gambling lasted more than two hours. The final result was that Chen Dayong lost more than two thousand, Chen Rui lost more than one thousand, and Zhao Guozhong won more than five thousand. While his aunt called everyone to eat snacks, he was beaming with joy. I stopped gambling when I saw the good news.
Both Chen Dayong and Chen Dayong were a little depressed, but it was hard to say whether they should continue gambling.
After eating snacks and chatting for a while, the Chen family declined the aunt's invitation to stay for dinner and went home. My uncle Zhao Guozhong also continued to follow him back.
In fact, his own house is not far from his uncle's house. It is just a two-story old house with a history of more than 20 years. It has not been seriously decorated inside. He has not lived in it for several years. It seems that he is too lazy to go back and clean up before moving in.
"A Feng, my uncle will take you out tonight." Zhao Guozhong was still sitting in the passenger seat, looking high-spirited because he won money in the afternoon.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Xiaolan scolded him rudely, "You are so old, stay at home. Ah Feng will go to his aunt's house early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings. Don't go out to look for him either. Those gangsters of yours, did any of them help you when you were in trouble?"
Zhao Guozhong said somewhat sadly: "Sister, it's been so long that I can't come back. Come, I must get together with some friends.”
“What’s there to do? Listen to me and stay at my house. I’ll help you find someone here these days. Good woman, I’ll find one for you.”
“Didn’t I tell you before? The one who runs the beauty salon is very good. I’m just chatting with her, so I don’t need to bother you.”< br>
"You and she haven't even met yet, and you think she's suitable? She also owns a beauty salon, so she really likes you? I think it's better to find you someone who is more honest and peaceful. It's best to go to the Northeast with you. While doing business.”
“Ahem, this one, that one in the Northeast. I might not go there anymore. I want to find some business in my hometown. Sister and brother-in-law, do you have any good opportunities?"
Zhao Xiaolan and Chen Dayong looked at each other, and Chen Feng answered. Said: "Uncle, I remember you still have two acres Is it land? I think it would be better to use these two acres of land, plant some trees in it, and raise some chickens and ducks to lay eggs. You know how expensive local eggs are now. This will definitely make money. In addition, wait for those trees to be planted. They can be sold for money even when they are a few years old.”
Zhao Guozhong said angrily: "You are treating me poorly. How can I raise chickens and ducks?"
"This shouldn't be difficult, right? You are from a farmer's family after all. You can't ask my father to teach you. I plan to let my dad do the same this year.”
Chen Dayong also said: "This is a good idea. Planting trees and raising some chickens and ducks is not very tiring and is very relaxing."
Zhao Guozhong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. Although he is a farmer's boy, But because I am the youngest in my family, I have basically never done farm work since I was a child.
"Sister, I heard that the car wash shop opened by the Ari brothers is doing very well. How about I open one too, just over there in our town? What do you think?"
Zhao Guozhong stopped hiding it and directly stated his plan.
In fact, the reason why he came to his second sister's house on New Year's Eve was because he heard from his friends that the Chen Feng brothers were making a lot of money every day by opening a car wash shop.
When Chen Feng heard what he said, he immediately understood that his uncle was waiting here.
Opening a car beauty shop requires hundreds of thousands of initial investments. My uncle certainly does not have that much capital himself.
So where does the money come from? It will definitely still fall on his two good sisters, especially his second sister who loves him more, and even his two nephews.
Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan are not stupid either. After hearing what Zhao Guozhong said, of course they understood the cause and effect.
Zhao Xiaolan was disappointed and sighed: "The two brothers need more than 400,000 yuan to open this store. Can you afford it?"
Zhao Guozhong smiled coquettishly: "I want to start a joint venture with my two nephews. I will invest 100,000 shares."
Zhao Xiaolan was a little surprised when he heard this: "Can you give 100,000?"
Zhao Guozhong hurriedly Said: "I have all my money now. The batch of export goods has arrived, and it will take a few months to get the money back. I want to borrow 100,000 yuan from you and my eldest sister first, and open a car wash shop. When I get the money back, I will pay it back with interest immediately. You guys."
Chen Feng couldn't help but chuckled twice. How thick-skinned do you have to be to say this?
A few years ago, he had already borrowed 50,000 yuan from his two sisters, and now he wanted to borrow it again, using such a lame excuse.
"Uncle, my mother said it would cost more than 400,000 yuan to open such a store. Even if you borrow another 100,000 yuan from my mother and aunt, there will still be a shortfall of more than 300,000 yuan. My brother and I don't have that now. So much money.”
"A Feng, I am your uncle, from my own family. Why are you crying about being poor with me? Who doesn't know that the car wash shop you and your brother opened makes a lot of money every day? I make at least several thousand a day. I I also heard people say that you have connections with government agencies. , destroyed the other two car wash shops, making others afraid to open a car wash shop in Qingpu Town. "This is hearsay. How can we be so capable?" Chen Feng immediately denied it. ,"besides The store doesn’t make thousands a day, only one or two thousand at most.”
“One or two thousand is not a lot. Ah Feng, I am your uncle, you and your brother must help me.” .”
Chen Feng was speechless.
Zhao Xiaolan pondered slightly and said: "Let's discuss this matter later. The two brothers don't have that much money on hand to open another store."
"If you don't have one on hand, you can get a loan. You can use your car and house as mortgage. You can also use the store as collateral to get a loan of 300,000 easily."
Chen Feng was speechless again.
"Let's talk about it when we go back. Let's all add up to the total."
When Chen Feng heard what his mother said, he was really convinced. This was obviously the rhythm of supporting his younger brother.
"Okay, let's discuss it when we go back."
After saying this, Zhao Guozhong sighed and played the emotional card again and said: "Sister, I will be forty-eight years old after the Chinese New Year, and I am about to... Ben Wu, if I don’t have a career, I will really have to work hard for the rest of my life. It doesn’t matter if I’m a bachelor myself, I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to explain it to my parents when I die.”
When Zhao Xiaolan heard him talk about her deceased parents, she thought about what she wanted before her death. Take care of your brother's last words, your eyes suddenly turned red.
Chen Feng was really convinced by his uncle and said quickly: "Okay, okay. Tell me what your grandparents are doing. We can discuss the matter of opening a store before deciding."
Originally Chen Feng really dislikes his brother-in-law, but who gave him a good sister, and his good sister is his own mother.
In order to prevent his mother from having to worry about her younger brother, Chen Feng, a son, could only try to make his life stable.
"Haha, good nephew, I knew you wouldn't help. It's not in vain that I served you as a horse to ride on."
Chen Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He did treat him as a child when he was a child. When the horse was riding, but he mentioned it from time to time, it was boring to mention it often.
As soon as he got off the bus after returning home, Zhao Guozhong immediately went to Chen Rui to tell him about opening a joint store. When Chen Rui heard this, he immediately looked constipated.
When the family returned to the house, Zhao Xiaolan said to the two brothers, if you can help with this matter, please try your best to help. She also said that since this car wash shop is so profitable, it is indeed possible to open a second one. If the money is If it's not enough, she can sponsor some for the two brothers.
The meaning is very obvious. I think it is very reliable to let my brother and his two sons jointly open a car wash shop, and I want my two sons to bring their brothers to make money together.
Chen Rui and Chen Feng are both extremely filial. Can you raise objections? cannot.
Zhao Guozhong had the support of his sister Zhao Xiaolan, and a matter that originally seemed difficult was successfully negotiated.
However, although Chen Feng was filial, he was not that stupid. He said directly to his uncle: "Uncle, since my mother said so, it is difficult for us to refuse, but before we discuss business or partnership, we must We have to negotiate good terms."
Zhao Guozhong nodded with a smile: "Of course, you said it."
Chen Feng said seriously: "First of all, we brothers are the major shareholders, and we have to arrange the choice of store manager; secondly, you can't interfere in the business activities of the store. To put it simply, you just need to wait for the dividends."< br>
