Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Achievement
On the afternoon of the 20th of July, Feng Yiping arrived back in the provincial capital after a long journey from Hong Kong. Including the time spent on the road, the trip had taken him more than ten days.
Over the previous few months, Yangcheng and Hong Kong had finally helped him complete the relevant procedures. Thanks to the trial run at the beginning of the year, the production volume of the second batch had increased several times. After deducting the commission, Feng Yiping had received more than 100,000 US dollars in total from the two splits, which had all been deposited in the UBS Hong Kong branch.
He didn't dare to bring gifts home. If his parents knew that he had made such a big trip alone, they would either have to stay behind and look after Feng Yiping, or they would find a way to transfer Feng Yiping to a provincial school.
Of course, he did buy some things, including five compact cassette players and other gadgets, which he stored at the station, afraid that his parents would see them.
In the past six months, the results have been very good. Five new noodle shops have opened, bringing the total to six, and a dozen more people have been recruited from the village.
These dozen people are considered one of the core competencies of the noodle shop. At home, they often don't generate much economic benefit in a year, but here they get the same salary as people in the provincial capital, and their room and board are all included. Their enthusiasm and motivation for work is not comparable to other noodle shop waiters who follow the trend.
The six noodle shops had varying levels of business depending on their locations, but the worst one could still sell an average of nearly 200 bowls of noodles and 100 wheat cakes a day.
Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping were both taken aback when they saw that there was an extra 10,000 yuan in the account after just one week. They couldn't calm down until the passbook finally showed six digits. That night, the couple stayed up almost all night without blinking.
Mei Qiuping held the passbook in her hands and asked her husband over and over again, 'Am I dreaming?'
Feng Zhenchang was also a little excited, laughing, and suddenly, 'pop,' slapped her on the back, 'Does it hurt?'
However, the 100,000 yuan didn't stay in the passbook for long, and they turned it into a house.
Feng Yiping had originally planned to help his family buy a house, but who knew that Cai Hong and her brother-in-law had their eyes on a three-story building for the company, with a floor area of more than 300 square meters and a small courtyard in the back, which would just about use up all of Feng Yiping's savings.
Feng Zhenchang is now completely released from work, and spends his days going from shop to shop. After picking Feng Yiping up at the station, he took him straight to the newly renovated new house.
It is a small community built not long ago by a small lake, with six small eight-storey buildings, not far apart, with average greenery, but a nice surrounding environment.
According to Feng Yiping's original plan, they would look for a bigger second-hand property in the old neighbourhood, but Feng Yiping's parents were dead set against spending so much money on an old property. They insisted on buying a new one, and Feng Yiping couldn't convince them otherwise. So they just let them be, because buying a new or old property was a good deal at the moment.
Moreover, the two of them, who were used to living in tile houses, bought the penthouse as soon as they bought it. They had been living low all along, and now they wanted to stand high up and look at the scenery.
Feng Zhanchang took Feng Yiping to the eighth floor of the second unit of the innermost building, opened the door, and said happily to Feng Yiping, 'Come in quickly. This was decorated by your younger brother-in-law more or less according to your wishes.
It was a three-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, one-bathroom house with an actual area of more than 120 square metres. Unlike the later popular houses with large halls, the living room was not very large, but the lighting was good.
The overall decoration followed the minimalist modern style decided by Feng Yiping, which was almost the same as his and Zhang Yan's first house. For example, there was also a TV background wall, which was unique at the time.
However, this uniqueness was not expected to last long. After Mei Yiliang finished decorating, he would definitely use the drawings to fool the customers he received later.
Except for the sofa, all the wooden furniture is of course produced by Lao Cai. Because it can be considered custom-made, it looks very harmonious. The colour of the furniture is light wood grain yellow, which looks fresh and bright, simple and generous. Even if it is used for ten years, it will not look old.
The living room is not paved with marble like most people's homes nowadays. Like the bedroom, it is also wooden flooring. At first, my parents were not very satisfied with it, but after Lao Cai came and affirmed Feng Yiping's opinion, saying that it is much better than marble, comfortable and safe, and easy to clean.
Feng Zhenchang was very excited, and took Feng Yiping from room to room, introducing him to this and that. Feng Yiping understood his father's feelings very well. He and Zhang Yan were finally as happy and excited as they were when they finally got their first home in the city.
Moreover, for Feng Zhenchang, now their family, apart from the household registration, apart from some interpersonal relationships, is now no different from the average city dweller, and is even more financially comfortable than those on a salary.
Two years ago, he was a farmer who depended on the weather for his livelihood, and now, he is on the way to becoming a citizen. How could he not be happy and excited?
Feng Yiping and his father had finished cooking. They waited until their mother and sister returned from the shop at around 9 pm, and the family was finally reunited in their new home.
As soon as Mei Qiuping entered the door, she first pulled Feng Yiping down in front of her and looked him up and down, exclaiming, 'You've grown again!'
Feng Yuxuan said with some jealousy, 'Of course, he eats so well every meal, it's strange if he doesn't grow. When I was thirteen or fourteen, if I had eaten as well as him, I wouldn't be so short either!'
She ran up to Feng Yiping and compared their heights, and he was already half a head shorter than her.
However, she was still very happy to see Feng Yiping this time, and gave him a hug. 'I heard that you did well in the final exams again. Tell me what you want, and I'll take you shopping. I haven't touched my salary for a few months.'
Mei Qiuping said from the side, 'It's better if you buy it, so that we don't buy it for him and you say we're biased. Let's go, Yiping, I'll show you!'
Feng Yuxuan laughed from behind, saying, 'Aren't you biased? You've treated your younger brother like a treasure since he was little. Alas, who let me be a girl!'
Mei Qiuping turned around and gave her a loud slap on the head, saying, 'When you were little, did we lack food or clothing for you? Yiping used to pick up your old clothes to wear.'
'Haha, I don't care, you're just biased anyway.'
Mei Qiuping also didn't bother to talk to her, and took Feng Yiping from room to room. His father had taken him around, he had taken himself around, and now his mother was enthusiastically taking him around again. However, he wasn't impatient at all, and cooperated very well. Parents also need their children's recognition!
Feng Zhenchang also behaved very well. He didn't come over to join the fun, but served the food on the table and set the bowls and chopsticks in place. Only then did he call them over to eat, very much like a family man.
Dad and sister were drinking wine, while mom and he were drinking cola. The whole family was having a good time eating and drinking. Mei Qiuping suddenly felt a little tear in her eyes. 'Two years ago, on a day like this, I never dreamed that it would really happen!'
Feng Yiping was also very gratified that his efforts had finally borne some fruit. Reborn once, the amount of money made is not the main goal. Being able to make those around him live a happier life sooner than before is what gives him the most sense of accomplishment.freewēbnoveℓ.com
