The two brothers Zhang Dayong and Zhang Dasheng have a pretty good drinking capacity.
Among the two pieces of twenty-four bottles of beer, Chen Hai estimated that he drank at most four bottles.
The rest of the beer was basically handled by these two brothers.
Anyway, at around eleven o'clock in the evening, when the two left, not a bottle of beer was left, and they had all been drank.
The two brothers didn't seem to be very drunk except for their steps being a little sloppy when walking.
Of course, the reason for this must have something to do with their slower drinking.
After all, from about five o'clock in the afternoon until now about eleven o'clock in the evening, it took nearly six hours.
If we average this, Zhang Yong and Zhang Da beat the two of them. One hour is less than two bottles of beer per person.
After the last time, the terrifying experience of drinking beer and making someone unconscious, this time, Chen Hai deliberately controlled it. After four bottles of beer, he was at best a little dizzy.
Lying on the bed, not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, he checked out of the room and rushed to Yangcheng.
It has been some years since civil aviation began operating in Yanhuang.
However, in the early years, if you wanted to fly, you not only needed a letter of introduction, but the procedures were also very cumbersome. Most people who wanted to fly were simply not qualified.
It is this year that civil aviation is really open to the public. As long as you have money, you can buy a ticket and fly.
Compared with taking the train, the price of air tickets is several times more expensive, but it is better than taking a train.
When leaving Haizhu City, Chen Hai thought about it and simply took out all his money.
He was not short of money and had too much money with him. Between the train and the plane, he naturally chose the latter without hesitation.
Wuling City, where Liuyuan County is located, has not built an airport yet.
When Chen Hai took a flight from Yangcheng, he could only take a flight as far as Shachang City, the capital of southern Hunan Province, and then transfer back to their hometown of Liuyuan County.
He went round and round all the way, because when he arrived in Liuyuan County, it was already evening and there was no shuttle bus. It was not until about ten o'clock the next morning that he returned to his home in Chenjiaping, Wuyang Town.
When he thought about the trouble of changing trains, Chen Hai became more determined to buy a house and let his parents move to the county.
To be honest, the last time he came home to pick up those bottles and jars, he had already thought about persuading his parents to move directly to Kyoto.
After all, his house in Xishan is quite large.
Not to mention living with your own parents, even if a few more people come to live in that place, it will be absolutely easy.
It's a pity that my parents firmly disagree with this matter.
One by one, they had left their hometown and lived in a humble state. They said they had gone to Kyoto and were not familiar with the place, so they felt uncomfortable there.
I mentioned this matter to the two of them, but seeing that they had no intention of doing so, Chen Hai did not persist.
He knew that the furthest his parents had ever been was the county.
On weekdays, they all speak Liuyuan dialect and cannot even speak Mandarin well.
Coupled with the acclimatization and huge differences in living habits, if they really had to go to Kyoto, their little life would really feel like a year.
"Xiao Hai, you're back..." Mother Jiang Meixian was chopping firewood on the flat ground next to her home with an ax in her hand.
When she saw Chen Hai, she quickly put down her axe, and came forward with a happy face.
"Mom, I told you, do less strenuous work on weekdays."
"If you are really free, go and chat with others, or play cards to kill time."
"If your family is short of money, tell me how much you need and I will give it to you."
"You have a good life, why don't you just enjoy it in peace and contentment? Why tire yourself out like this?"
Seeing his mother, sweating profusely and dirty, Chen Hai felt angry in his heart.
He pouted and complained to Jiang Meixian.
"You kid, why are you talking? Your dad and I also want to help you save more money for your wife while we are still young and active!"
"Let me tell you, in our place, if you want to marry a wife, the price of the bride price has increased again."
"Chen Feng from Chen Laosan's family is a few years older than you. You should know him, right?"
"Not long ago, he was talking to a girl. When he talked about the bride price, he said it was eight thousand eighty!"
"For this gift money, Chen Laosan borrowed everything he could, but he still couldn't get it together."
"Being forced and having no other choice, Chen Feng ran to the girl's house, knelt down and begged the girl's family to ask for less betrothal gifts."
"But what happened? Instead, the girl's parents kicked her out with a broom, and the marriage was immediately canceled!"
"At this rate, marrying a wife will only become more and more expensive in the future. If not, in a few years, the price of a bride price will directly change from 8,880 to 88,000."
"Your father and I, if you work harder, how will you get the money to marry a wife in the future?"
After taking the luggage carried by Chen Hai, Jiang Meixian explained to him with a smile.
His mother's words left Chen Hai speechless for a while.
He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "Mom, I told you, your son and I can make money, and I can handle the matter of marrying a wife by myself. You and dad don't need to worry about it!"
"Besides, no matter how hard you and my dad work, how much money can you make back?"
What he said was indeed the truth and there was no exaggeration.
In rural areas these days, people who work hard and work hard can really not make much money.
Their money was saved from their rations. It was hard-earned money in the true sense.
"Xiaohai, Mom knows that you are very good at making money, but you are a college student, so you have to focus on your studies right now."
"It's your father's and my responsibility to help you save money to marry a wife!"
"Unless you can bring a wife back one day, in that case, your father and I will have less to worry about!" Jiang Meixian laughed.
If in high school, Chen Hai had a puppy love with a female classmate, she and Chen Zhonghua would probably treat him to fried pork with bamboo shoots.
But now that Chen Hai is in college, if he wants to talk to someone, Jiang Meixian will not only not object, but will definitely support him.
"Mom, I'm still studying? Why are you so anxious about marrying a wife?"
"Aren't you and Dad just afraid that I won't have the skills to have a wife?"
"Come, come with me to the house..."
His mother became stubborn, and Chen Hai couldn't explain anything he wanted to in front of him.
He pulled Jiang Meixian and walked into his house nearby.
"Xiaohai, your dad is still cutting trees in the back hill!"
"I still have a few loads of firewood to chop here. Why are you dragging me over to the room?"
"Is it possible that you can still be here and suddenly become a wife..."
After muttering all the way, Chen Hai had already pulled her into the room, but Jiang Meixian still hadn't stopped talking.
Chen Hai didn't say anything. He just took back the backpack from his mother's hand and pulled the zipper away.
"Xiaohai, what are you..." Halfway through her words, the piles of old people's heads in the backpack shocked her so much that she was speechless for a long time.
"A few days ago, when I came back home to pick up things, didn't I tell you and my dad that my things were going to be taken to eastern Guangdong and sold to a Taiwanese introduced by a friend?"
"The more than 200,000 yuan in this bag is what I gained from my trip to eastern Guangdong this time!"
"With all this money here, you and dad are still worried that I won't be able to find a wife?"
Pointing to the money, Chen Hai spoke unhurriedly.
With so much money in front of her, her mother, Jiang Meixian, seemed really frightened.
As if she didn't hear Chen Hai's words at all, she remained dumbfounded without any response at all.
Seeing this situation, Chen Hai also looked helpless and smiled bitterly.
From the town to his home in Chenjiaping, which was more than ten miles, he relied on bus No. 11. After walking for a long time, he felt a little tired.
He sat down directly on the chair in the room and began to rest.
"Xiao Hai, come on, pinch me quickly to see if I'm dreaming or suddenly dazzled..." It took five or six minutes for Jiang Meixian to wake up from the extreme shock.
"Mom! It's broad daylight, you're very awake, where are you dreaming?"
"What's in front of you is real money, more than 200,000 yuan. If you don't believe it, you can touch it!"
Chen Hai gave his mother an annoyed look and said.
"No, Xiaohai, I'm a little dizzy with money!"
"You keep a good watch here, I'll go to the back mountain and find your dad first!"
Just as Chen Hai said, Jiang Meixian took out a wad of banknotes from her backpack, turned it over, touched it, and smelled it!
After confirming that what she was holding was indeed real money, she said something to Chen Hai, turned around and ran outside.
For today's rural people, a few thousand yuan is already a huge sum of money.
More than 200,000 yuan, such a large amount of money, was suddenly placed in front of Jiang Meixian. For a moment, she couldn't calm down even if she wanted to.
Regarding his mother Jiang Meixian's actions, Chen Hai was both angry and funny.
Of course, he didn't have any objections to his mother.
He just felt that if he stayed in the countryside and didn't go outside to experience things, he seemed to have no way of knowing how vast the outside world was.
Taking out a cigarette, Chen Hai lit it for himself.
Before he could finish smoking the cigarette, his mother, Jiang Meixian, and his father, Chen Zhonghua, were already rushing back.
Judging from how sweaty they were, in order to get home as quickly as possible, the two of them probably sprinted all the way back at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Hearing it is one thing, seeing it is another thing entirely.
Chen Zhonghua, who already knew from his wife that Chen Hai came back with a large bag of money, was still stunned for a long time after actually seeing such money in front of him, and then he gradually came to his senses.
