Chapter 40

In the third year of junior high, all those who went to my grandmother's house for New Year's greetings returned home. A total of eight children gathered at my grandfather's house, and the family suddenly became lively.

My uncle also came back from my uncle's house, full of alcohol, and took out a "big dictionary of Chinese idioms" and a small box from the bag under the bed.

Feng Yiping took it over and took a look. This dictionary is 35 yuan. The small box contains a hero pen. I don't know how much it costs, but it's definitely not cheap. My uncle didn't give him the New Year's money before, well, I'll make it up this time.

Feng Yiping was not polite, he bought it and accepted it, "Uncle, you spend so much money, are you not afraid that your future aunt will get angry?"

Mei Yiliang shook his hand and said loudly, "How is that possible?"

I will add, "I went to buy it with her, thinking of you to study hard and write more good articles."

"Haha, no wonder, I heard that my little aunt's family runs a furniture factory?"

"Be quiet, what little aunt?" Mei Yiliang was afraid that if Mei Jianzhong heard it, he would keep asking questions.

"I can't talk about starting a factory. Her father was an old master of the original city furniture factory. After retirement, he rented a place on the street and opened a workshop. There are not many people in total."

"Oh," Feng Yiping felt a little deep in his heart. At this time, the old employees of state-owned enterprises who have such courage must have some ideas, and they may not be rigidly attached to issues such as family status and household registration. , not too sad.

"Then what is the main thing in the factory now?" Feng Yiping asked.

"I can do everything. The master's craftsmanship is good and he lives well. What he does is the old customers and the new customers they introduce. We will do whatever they want." Mei Yiliang said.

"How's business?"

"It's okay. Anyway, things have to be done every day. They are similar to those of the big factories, and the materials are the same. Our products are of good quality and cheap. There are still many people who are recommended by regular customers to buy them."

Feng Yiping understood, it may be due to the scale or manpower problem. The furniture factory actually produces according to the order, there is no sales, and it is estimated that it has not developed much business. To put it bluntly, it is the same as the carpenters in the village, the difference is that the carpenters in the village only earn wages, and the materials for making furniture are produced by the owner, and the furniture factory is only contract labor and materials.

His core competitive advantage should be his uncle's excellent level, affordable price, and a custom-made model.

At this time, when buying appliances, everyone wants to buy imported ones, such as some brands of RB in particular.

However, in the furniture industry, there are no well-known brands in the market. In addition to shopping around in the market, people who buy them trust the word of mouth of relatives and friends. Therefore, the benefits of Xiaojiushi's factory are still good now, but if it does not change and does not take long-term considerations, the prospects will be worrying.

Last year, after Comrade Xiaoping's southern tour, a large number of people went to sea. According to statistics, there are 120,000 public officials who have resigned to go to sea, and 10 million others who have invested in the commercial field in various ways! For a time, companies from all walks of life have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the direct response is that the prices of various raw materials in the market have risen sharply.

The furniture industry is also a very promising industry, and it can also be classified as necessities of life. No matter how frugal the family is, home appliances may not be bought, but furniture must be bought. We have a population base of more than one billion, think about this demand!

Moreover, the furniture export market is also very large. Later, many furniture factories in the coastal provinces specialized in export sales, with a sales volume of tens of millions a year, which is not difficult to achieve.

The furniture market has a large capacity, but the entry threshold is not high, and there are not too many requirements for factories and equipment. The practice of making more money with more money, and the practice of making less money with less money, there must be many people who have also targeted this market. .

I believe that the competition in this industry will become fierce from now on. It seems quite difficult for a factory like my uncle's master to go on like this and still be as leisurely as it is now.

Feng Yiping is also somewhat familiar with the furniture industry. He has been to several furniture factories. This is not the key. The key is that he remembers a lot of furniture styles.

Before establishing a relationship with Zhang Yan, Feng Yiping shared a house with a few colleagues. They were all happy bachelors. Everyone was happy and lively together.

When the two colleagues had girlfriends and moved in, for some reason, there were more conflicts.

Therefore, after Feng Yiping and Zhang Yan were together, he didn't want to share a lease with others at all. Not to mention the inconvenience, it was easy to cause conflicts.

That period of time was sweet and tragic. There is no need to say the reason for the sweetness. The sad reminder was because I always moved. In the worst year, he and Zhang Yan were forced to move three times, from east to west, from west to south, and from south to north.

So if Feng Yiping is really obsessed with something, it is the house. This is also the reason why Feng Yiping bought two houses as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou. Of course, it was due to the fact that there was a real estate speculation factor, but it was also related to his obsession.

In the years when he was forced to move around, Feng Yiping's focus on the Internet was no longer to look at beauties, no longer to look at military affairs, no longer to look at entertainment gossip, but to look at other people's house decoration posts on various forums.

When he watched others renovate a new house or an old house, a big house or a small house, after several months of hard work and hard work, he renovated it into a warm and comfortable home with different styles, and he unconsciously drooled. saliva.

On these forums, of course, discussions on various types of furniture are also indispensable. That’s all, not only him, but Zhang Yan has also done a lot of homework. The collections in the computer and the handwriting in the notebook are very comprehensive and detailed. There is no house with square meters of his own, but he can be regarded as an authentic folk expert when it comes to decoration and furniture.

Feng Yiping can say with certainty that Zhang Yan's preparations for his wedding are less than one-fifth of the preparations for his future house decoration.

The two of them discussed what style the decoration should be in the future, what kind of furniture they envisaged in the home, and what style they were. They even updated the plan once a season based on the most popular styles.

These preparations were indeed used when they were decorating and arranging the first house, but when they renovated the house they bought later, the two of them were very casual, maybe it was on the first house, which cost too much More passion and sustenance.

However, especially those classic furniture styles, it is undoubtedly a great asset to get it now.

But at present Feng Yiping doesn't want to talk about this with his uncle. No matter how smart you are, your current status is only a child in junior high school. This is irrelevant. You know the industry that you have never been exposed to at all, and you can still design furniture. That's not Looking for something for yourself? Age is always a pain!

Again, Feng Yiping doesn't want to attract attention, there is really no way, he can only make others think that he is very smart, and he has a little bit of talent, but he must not let others think that he is a monster.

Therefore, these things, even if they are to be said, the timing is very important, and now is not the time when they must be said.

On the third day of junior high, I was inevitably dragged by several families to eat, and I went to eat with some unfamiliar guests, one after another. I couldn't eat much, but the strong enthusiasm was very useful.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Feng Yiping took seven cousins, Rongrong and Ruirui from the eldest uncle's house, Chengcheng and Qingqing from the second uncle's house, Yangyang and Yunyun from the third uncle's house, and Dongdong, to go to his house together. .

Along the way, Feng Yiping is the real king of children.

Rongrong from the eldest uncle's family, Chengcheng from the second uncle's family, and Yangyang from the third uncle's family can take care of themselves, but they all take New Year's gifts and can't take care of other brothers and sisters. One level care.

Rarity is the youngest and has to be held a lot. It's still the same, people don't suffer from widowhood, but they suffer unevenly. The most spoiled thing in the third uncle's family is more than four years old. He can walk by himself. They clamored for Feng Yiping to hold him.

Carrying a child on the mountain road is a labor of strength. Feng Yiping's current thin body has limited endurance. Taking turns holding two little guys, he can only walk for a while.

The three of them, Rongrong, also gave Qingqing and Yunyun what they were holding, and took turns to hold the top for Feng Yi for a while. Just like that, when the group of eight people finally arrived at Fengjiachong, except for Rui Rui and Dong Dong, all of them were out of breath.

Seeing them, Wenhua hurried to Feng Yiping's house to report the news. Feng Zhenchang was waiting at the door with a long string of firecrackers. When they saw them, he lit them with his cigarettes.

Mei Qiuping came up and took Ruirui from Feng Yiping, "Rui Rui, do you want aunt?"

Rarity said in a milky voice, "Think, happy new year, aunt."

Mei Qiuping took her face to stick to his little cheek, "Rui Rui is really good and sensible."

Feng Zhenchang took the gifts in their hands, and Yang Yang covered his ears and said, "Uncle, you set off all the firecrackers, do you have anything for us to play with?"

Feng Zhenchang took out a box of small firecrackers from his pocket, "Is it enough? Not enough at home."

"Enough is enough, let's go play first." Not in a hurry, he went into the house with Chengcheng and Dongdong, the three boys to set off firecrackers.

Lunch was very lively and enjoyable. At the aunt and uncle's house, they were unceremonious, the three girls were a little more reserved, and the remaining four young men, when they encountered what they liked, really used to grab it, so the dinner table became a battlefield.

Fortunately, with Feng Yiping and the others watching, the dining table was not overturned.

After lunch, Yangyang and Chengcheng went to play with Wenhua and Wenhui, Rongrong and Yunyun took Dongdong and Qingqing to take a nap, and Ruirui was held by Feng Yiping.

After Mei Qiuping washed the dishes, she took the sleeping Ruirui from Feng Yiping. Feng Zhenchang took a sip of tea and asked Mei Qiuping, "How much do they give each?"

It turned out that they had a lot of money on their hands, and they were going to give their nephew money for the New Year.

"I think three dollars." Mei Qiuping said.

"Three dollars doesn't look good, or five dollars?" Feng Zhenchang said.

"Five yuan?" Mei Qiuping's voice became louder, "As soon as the level goes down, do they give one point? Usually, five yuan is enough for a gift!"

"Be quiet, you woke Rarity up." Feng Yiping was troubled by such a problem. Mei Qiuping really takes money as his fate. In most cases, Feng Zhenchang does the same, but Feng Zhenchang likes to save face, especially now that there are some conditions, so conflict seems to be inevitable.

Fortunately, what Feng Yiping said now has some weight in his parents, "It's still what Dad said, it's only five yuan, and it adds up to more than ten yuan."

"If you want it, you will get it. Anyway, your father and son are rich, and I am the only one who is used to being poor. I am used to saving it." Although Mei Qiuping was still reluctant, she did not fight any more. No matter what, it was for his brothers and children. , give a lot, of course, also give her a long face.

When sending money to the nephews in the afternoon, Mei Qiuping couldn't see any grudges on her face, "I hide it all by myself, don't let my parents know, or it will definitely be confiscated."

The nephews were very happy. Grandma's family didn't give so much on average. Rongrong was the most sensible. She pushed back a few times and said no.

Mei Qiuping was not worried at all that the younger brothers didn't know this favor, and hoped that the seven little guys could hide it, it was an impossible task.

After three o'clock, Feng Zhenchang and Feng Yiping went home with seven little guys. As for letting the seven little guys stay overnight, I didn't even think about it, the three of them would definitely not be able to handle it.

When they went back, they brought more things with them. Fortunately, they took the lucky money, and even Dongdong behaved a lot better, and Feng Zhenchang helped them, which was faster than when they came.

When they climbed the last mountain, they happened to meet their uncle to pick them up, and Feng Yiping and his son returned home.

On the fifth day of the new year, fewer people paid New Year's greetings, and one after another, some people went up and down the mountain to do things.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, it will be more lively, because most people who go out to work go out on the sixth and eighth day of the first lunar month, so many people set off firecrackers, and especially mothers, always follow the sons or children who are going to work. The daughter kept exhorting, and sent it to the hill behind, until she watched her children walk away, climbed over the opposite mountain, and could no longer see it, she turned and went home.

Fathers' feelings are not so exposed. Usually, after the firecrackers are set off, they silently carry the children's luggage to the mouth of the city, and then find a place to smoke silently.

After another day of playing, it was the eighth day of the first year, and the school day was here again.
