On the way home, Yao Li asked Yao Yuan, "Ayuan, do you really drive Yuanda Electric?"
"How can it be false? You just don't believe in me, your brother." Yao Yuan said.
Yao Li said with emotion, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I can't believe it. A few months ago we were still worrying about mom's medical expenses and your living expenses. In the blink of an eye, you have done such a big business. Who dares to believe it."
"Sister, there is a saying I don't know if you have heard of it. It goes like this. Even a pig can take off if it stands on the cusp of the times. Your brother is also a college student at a prestigious university.
It's not even worse than a pig, right?" Yao Yuan said.
Yao Li suddenly laughed, "How is that possible? But there has to be a process. I heard people say that Yuanda Electric is worth at least several million, several million. It's like a dream."
"Sister, you underestimate me too much. Can a home appliance store with millions of dollars dare to be called the largest in the country? You should have seen the advertisement. The annual advertising fee alone is three million. Yuanda Electric last month
Sales have reached more than 7 million, and due to New Year's Day and Spring Festival this month and next, it is expected to exceed 10 million. The monthly gross profit is about 1 million."
Yao Yuan gave a relatively conservative set of data, but despite this, Yao Li was still stunned.
"You need to have capital to do business. Where do you get the capital? And it must be a lot of capital." Yao Li said in surprise.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't cost a penny. It all relies on your brother and I to impress the suppliers with our sales concepts that are ahead of the times. As long as there are goods, development funds are not a problem."
"Sister, when luck comes, no one can stop it. When the opportunity comes, you must seize it. I happen to have the ability in this area. If I seize it, it will be nothing unusual."
Yao Li nodded slowly, let out a long breath, and said, "That's right. There was a guy in the second team who borrowed money from everywhere to buy an old truck two years ago to run the transportation business. I heard that he only worked for a year. Not only did he pay off the money, but also
We built a three-story building, dad even talked about it last time."
After thinking for a while, she said, "Our ancestors have blessed us, so you have to pay your respects when you go back today."
Yao Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sister, you are also an intellectual with a technical secondary education. Why are you still practicing feudal superstition?"
"Don't talk nonsense, those are ancestors, not gods and Buddhas."
"By the way, sister, don't tell your parents about my business, otherwise it will cause trouble."
Yao Li understood and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't tell anyone."
The two siblings chatted about this and that, and returned to Xihai Sugar Factory half an hour later.
Yao Zhenhua and Zhang Guifang had been waiting downstairs early. They had moved all the things they wanted to take back to the countryside and stood on tiptoe from time to time.
Today, both of them are dressed very grandly because they honor their ancestors.
My daughter was transferred from the county to the city, and my son not only got the top score in the exam, but now he is also doing a big business. One can buy two sets of commercial houses built in the factory, especially the latter. For Yao Zhenhua and Zhang Guifang, this is a big deal.
It is a major event that must be solemnly "reported" to the ancestors.
As soon as the Yao Yuan siblings arrived, Yao Zhenhua moved the things directly into the trunk of the car, talking to the neighbors and urging Yao Yuan to move faster.
"Zhenhua, Yao Yuan has made a career, and Yao Li has also been transferred to the city. You two can enjoy the blessings."
"Yes, I said Zhenhua, you and Guifang could just take a leave of absence without pay and move to the city, help Yao Yuan look after the business, and raise your grandson in two years, that would be great."
Every time at this time, Yao Zhenhua would smile modestly and say, "He is still studying. It's still early. I have to work for ten or eight years before retiring. The more I do, the better."
Zhang Guifang said, "Yes, I will wait until I retire to raise my grandson. By then, Yao Yuan will have graduated and started working."
"What kind of job are you still doing? Your Yao Yuan is so good at business. He also buys a house and a car. What a good business he is doing." Neighbors would say this.
Yao Zhenhua shook his head and said, "That won't work. Doing business is not a long-term solution. You still have to find a stable job."
The couple knew that their son was doing business in his spare time, but they didn't know that it was so big. Yao Yuan's previous claim was to sell electronic watches, and Lin Wei and his family also said so. Wang Jianguo had already been informed, and Wang Jianguo took Yao Yuan to
When you are the God of Wealth, you won't talk nonsense.
Therefore, the family members of the factory employees still don’t know that Yuanda Electric is owned by Yao Zhenhua’s son, Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan took a cigarette and spread it around, then drove his parents and elder sister straight to the countryside - Yaojia Village.
On New Year's Day in 1992, Yao Yuan returned to Yaojia Village for the first time after a long absence.
This large village with a population of more than 5,000 is both a natural village and an administrative village. Its administrative area is called Yaojia Area. It manages more than a dozen villages of various sizes. Yaojia Village is the oldest and most populous village among them.
But it is also a relatively backward village.
Turn from the bumpy county road onto a mechanical tillage road and drive two kilometers to Yaojia Village.
The reason why I chose a Pajero off-road vehicle instead of a car, which is more comfortable to drive and sit in, is precisely because of the bad road conditions that can be seen everywhere in the Nangang area.
The infrastructure in the urban area is under construction, and it is pretty good so far. However, after leaving the urban area, you can rarely see paved roads such as cement roads. Most of them are dirt roads compacted with loess.
Except for national highways.
An off-road vehicle is perfect for driving on such roads, and it is not prone to motion sickness.
Facts have proved that the choice was very correct. Neither my parents nor my sister had any reaction. Yao Yuan remembered that in his previous life, the three of them suffered from severe motion sickness when they first started riding in a car.
Yao Zhenhua also has a younger brother who works as a guard at the city fishery company. The key is that Yao Zhenhua also has three older sisters and five younger sisters...
My grandfather’s generation adhered to the principle of having more children and raising more children. People of that era had just experienced the war and were in the stage of lack of young adults. The development of the country cannot be separated from the optimization of population structure, and young adults are the main force of national construction.
force.
The teacher gave an order and the people of the country had more children and more nourishment.
As a result, Mr. Yao gave birth to ten children in one go.
In Yao Zhenhua's generation, the country called for a chess plan to give birth to fewer and eugenics children - only one child is good, both men and women are the same. Similar slogans can be seen everywhere.
This is probably a characteristic of this era.
Under such circumstances, Yao Yuan's birth and schooling were difficult.
Yao Zhenhua did not put Yao Yuan under the household registration of his relatives in the countryside like others. Instead, he paid a fine to get Yao Yuan's household registration, so that Yao Yuan could attend the primary school of the Sugar Factory and attend middle school in the county.
In the past ten years, Yao Zhenhua and his wife have spent more than half of their wages on paying fines. They have to pay 3,000 yuan every year. Yao Yuan remembers paying 5,000 yuan one year. He lived for more than 40 years in his previous life, and he also
I don't understand what this fine is about.
It can be said that Yao Zhenhua and his wife almost risked their lives for Yao Yuan.
Now that my son has become successful and has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the county, the family planning department has never come to see him. In August, the whole family went back to the village and held a banquet, feeling proud and proud.
Now that his son has started a business and made a lot of money, he drives a small car. Yao Zhenhua and his wife feel that their hard work over the past years has been rewarded, and they are very excited.
The old man of the Yao family is a bit powerful. He was a guerrilla leader during the war years, and later became the secretary of the production brigade for more than 40 years. After retiring for more than ten years, he was often called to meetings. He was quite prestigious in the town, but he was still inseparable.
The old couple who opened the fields have been tending more than 20 acres of land, mainly growing sugar cane, and are no different from other families.
There are three houses in the house, all of which are farmyards in the shape of a "gate". From childhood to adulthood, I mainly live in the new yard built when Yao Zhenhua got married.
It's said to be a new courtyard, it's about 20 years old, but it's relatively spacious.
Mr. and Mrs. Yao Hongjun were very excited and worked non-stop early in the morning, but they had to wait until Yao Zhenhua came back to kill chickens and ducks.
Killing chickens and ducks is a symbol of status, and generally needs to be done by the person in charge of the family. This is the custom in the countryside.
After Yao Zhenhua got married, this job belonged to him.
The job of taking charge was Zhang Guifang's job, and it belonged to her from the day she got married.
As soon as they got home, Yao Zhenhua and his wife rolled up their sleeves and got busy, with Yao Li helping and Yao Wang (grandma) helping.
No one has ever mentioned grandma's name. Yao Li doesn't know it, and neither does Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan remembered that after his grandma passed away, he had to make a tombstone, and his father told him that his grandma's name was Wang Xiulin.
He took out the dishes and started washing them at the pressure well.
Grandma hurried over and pulled Yao Yuan away, saying, "Go and sit in the room. Go quickly."
The eldest grandson is determined not to work. The eldest grandson is a great intellectual, and his hands are engaged in science and culture, not menial work. Moreover, their generation has a very strong patriarchal concept, and Yao Yuan is like them.
The only male in a generation enjoys supreme treatment in this big family.
Yao Yuan remembers that when he was in elementary school, his aunt was in high school. She had a very beautiful pen. Yao Yuan wanted it, but her aunt was not willing to give it to her. Yao Yuan cried. When Mr. Yao found out, he scolded his aunt.
After a pause, the pen belonged to Yao Yuan.
However, Yao Yuan used a pen to write on the wall, and Yaogu's heart was broken.
It was a Hero brand pen that she saved up for a whole semester and went to the county department store to buy it for ten yuan a piece.
Yao Yuan was particularly impressed by this incident. When he became sensible, Yao Gu married away from home and could not see her for many years.
In addition, Yao Yuan's family was in deep trouble at that time, and all of his father's sisters, except Lao Jiu, stood by and watched, making Yao Yuan extremely disappointed with these relatives. After the death of Mr. Yao, Yao Zhenhua's family had no choice but to contact Lao Jiu's family.
, the contact with other sisters has basically stopped.
This sutra at home is particularly difficult to recite.
If we have to get to the root of the problem, it has to do with Mr. Yao's patriarchal mentality and grandma Yao Wang's deliberate instigation of the relationship between daughter-in-law and daughter, son and daughter, especially the latter.
Until the death of Yao Wang, Yao Yuan's mother Zhang Guifang was still resentful of her mother-in-law's behavior. Especially as she got older, Zhang Guifang was full of resentment every time she mentioned the past events.
The things inside are more serious than Yao Yuan knew.
But it also let Yao Yuan know who grandma is. For example, grandma just quietly went out for a trip. After coming back, her attitude towards Yao Zhenhua's family became obviously much more enthusiastic.
The car can't be driven in, so it can only park on the roadside behind the house.
