Chapter 229

Wei Ming didn't expect that the first person he met after entering the village would be Brigade Leader Zhao Chunlai.

Seeing these siblings return, Zhao Chunlai immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Xiaoming, Xiaohong, you're back. Xiaohong, did you check the scores? How did you do?"

Wei Hong: "First place in science in the whole province, 451 points, full marks in both math and physics."

Zhao Chunlai's smile froze; he just maintained that smiling action without moving.

Wei Ming asked: "Does the Brigade Leader have anything else? If not, we're going home; they're waiting at home."

Zhao Chunlai said with difficulty: "No, nothing else."

Just half a day ago, the news that Zhao Chunlai's eldest daughter, Zhaodi, scored 361 in the college entrance exam and got into university with an excellent score of more than 20 points above the score line had already spread throughout Gouzitun.

This score actually exceeded Zhao Chunlai's expectations. He didn't expect his daughter to get into university and had already prepared to let her join the army. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

So in half a day, he spread this good news everywhere, hoping to celebrate with the whole world.

He was also curious about how Wei Wei Jiefang's daughter did. However, Zhaodi said she didn't know, so Zhao Chunlai looked forward to Wei Hong stumbling, saying maybe like Wei Ming, she had no score in one subject.

So he specifically wandered on this road that must be taken to enter the village, looking forward to being the first to know Wei Hong's score.

He didn't expect Wei Hong to be so direct, so direct that Zhao Chunlai couldn't breathe. How could she score so well!

If Wei Wei Jiefang came to communicate with him, he would definitely show weakness first, wait for his own arrogant aura to emerge, and then reveal his trump card, making himself feel ashamed and flee covering his face.

Zhao Chunlai was incomparably fortunate. Fortunately, Wei Wei Jiefang went to another place, so he didn't have to see his proud face; otherwise, he could be angered to death.

At this moment, Brigade Leader Zhao could only comfort himself. At least his own eldest daughter's score was better than Wei Wei Jiefang's eldest. As for the second, when Pandi takes the exam, maybe she can score the national champion.

And the Wei family only had two; he still had Niandi and Laidi. He had four, the advantage was with him!

When the two siblings returned home and heard that Wei Hong actually scored first in science in the whole province, Xu Xu Shufen cried with joy and hugged her mother.

Wei Hong also hurriedly hugged her mother and her mother's mother.

After they cried enough, Xu Xu Shufen rummaged through Wei Ming's room and found a string of firecrackers.

She wiped her tears and said: "Your dad bought this before he left, saying his daughter would definitely get in. When the results come out, set this off to celebrate."

Wei Ming picked it up. It was red and had two hundred bangs.

"Alright, I'll do it." Wei Ming was just worrying that the motorcycle's noise wasn't loud enough.

When the crackling sound started, almost everyone in the village heard it.

Fan Fan Chunhua: "What's the noise? It's not a holiday."

Qi Qi Delong: "Mom, it's at Uncle's house!"

Fan Fan Chunhua: "Oh my, Xiaohong must be back. This must be a good score. Let's go, go over and take a look."

Not only the two of them, but Qi Qi Kexiu was also forcibly pulled over. He was annoyed to death; he was currently stuck in his writing, and the second paragraph of the first chapter just wouldn't come out.

When they arrived at the Wei house, Qi Qi Delong was stuffed with a handful of candies by his cousin, and they were all crispy candies and soft candies bought in the capital.

"What, first place in the province!"

Now not only was Fan Fan Chunhua shocked, but Qi Qi Kexiu also straightened his back, his face full of smiles: "Xiaohong, I even taught you when you were a child."

"You only substituted for a few classes~" Xiaohong.

"But that was the most critical fifth grade, laying a solid foundation for your excellence in junior high!" Qi Qi Kexiu said enthusiastically. Having taught a provincial champion, he felt his salary could be raised!

At the same time, Qi Qi Kexiu was also very fortunate that Wei Wei Jiefang wasn't at home; otherwise, could there be such a pleasant conversation atmosphere today? By then, don't talk about Gouzitun, the whole commune would be indiscriminately injured by him.

Wei Ming said to Fan Fan Chunhua while eating: "Aunt, we are all going to live in Yanjing for a period of time in two days. The pigs and chickens at home will all depend on you. You can use the sewing machine as you like."

"No problem!" Fan Fan Chunhua couldn't ask for more. Now the chickens in the Wei family could lay eggs. Whatever they laid during this period would be hers, and there would be no shortage of her share when killing pigs during the New Year.

While chatting, Accountant Jia's family also came and congratulated them upon entering the courtyard.

"There must be good news, right? How did Xiaohong do?"

Qi Qi Kexiu said proudly: "Provincial champion. Thanks to the foundation I laid for Xiaohong back then. Xiaoming not letting me teach was a delay."

The siblings looked at each other in silence, just handing out candies. Jia Zhengdao was poked in the forehead by his mother while eating, telling him to learn from Sister Xiaohong.

Accountant Jia said sincerely: "Our Gouzitun is truly a land of good feng shui, producing two great talents, Xiaoming and Xiaohong. Xiaoming, hurry up and write a letter to your dad to tell him this good news."

Wei Ming: "No need to write a letter. I will go to Shandong to tell him in person."

Accountant Jia added: "What a pity. If Brother Wei Jiefang were here, how good it would be. It would definitely be lively."

Then the old branch secretary also came, and then Wei Ming told him that there would be leaders and reporters coming to interview Xiaohong, and they might also interview other villagers, so let the old branch secretary tell the villagers in advance to avoid nervousness.

When everyone heard this, good heavens, as expected of first place in the province. Xiaohong's specification was even more powerful than her brother's.

Zhou Zhou Xingbang: "This is a big deal. San'er, go with me to the brigade office. Shout once now, and shout once tomorrow morning!"

"Alright!"

Once the loudspeaker shouted, more people came to Wei Ming's house. The candies weren't enough to share, but there were plenty of kerosene lamps and candles, and they chatted until the lights went out.

Fan Fan Chunhua, as a close aunt, never left, acting as half a host and busy greeting people.

"Sister-in-law Xu Shufen, Xiaohong scored so well, should we hold a celebration banquet? I heard Zhao Chunlai say at noon that he wanted to hold one for his eldest daughter."

Zhao Chunlai: No, I don't want to now!

Xu Xu Shufen looked at the pig that hadn't grown up yet: "I'll listen to her dad. Xiaoming, you go to Shandong and ask your dad what the plan is."

"Alright, the admission notice is generally at the end of August; there's still plenty of time."

Grandmother couldn't hold on first and went to sleep. After the villagers were almost gone, Wei Ming asked Wei Hong: "Have you thought clearly about choosing Tsinghua or Peking University?"

"No, this doesn't need thinking. Definitely Peking University, unless you, Brother, change jobs to Tsinghua." Wei Hong held her big brother's arm, very firm.

Wei Ming nodded: "With your score, it's no problem for Tsinghua or Peking University to want some privileges. You are very good at math and are now interested in economics and finance. I suggest you directly take a double degree in math and economics."

With Xiaohong's learning ability to finish high school courses in one year, Wei Ming felt that she could completely handle two degrees in four years. This girl's brain was indeed easier to use than his own.

"Mmm, I'll listen to you."

Wei Ming touched her head. Actually, it didn't matter if she listened to him or not, as long as she didn't say things like "Brother, you don't understand him at all" when choosing a man in the future.

The next day, Wei Ming was woken up by the loudspeaker. The whole village was energetic.

He planned to stay in his hometown for two more days and leave after the media and leaders finished performing.

In the morning, the principal brought people to Gouzitun, this land of spiritual beauty.

First came the regional media "Hengzhou Daily" that had just resumed publication, and then the deputy county magistrate also came.

In the evening, they also met Teacher Pi from Peking University's admissions office who rushed over in a hurry. After confirming that Wei Hong wouldn't go anywhere but Peking University, he was relieved.

However, Wei Ming, as a family member, also put forward some conditions to his colleagues, all of which Teacher Pi agreed to, and left a sentence: "How about sending the admission notice directly to your home in Yanjing, Ma Xiaowei?"

Wei Ming: "Sure."

The next day, provincial media also came and interviewed Wei Ming and Wei Hong together. Of course, Xu Xu Shufen couldn't be missed. An ordinary rural family could produce two such outstanding figures; the family education definitely couldn't be bad.

Unfortunately, the eloquent Wei Wei Jiefang wasn't at home, and Xu Xu Shufen wasn't good with words, so the reporters grabbed people randomly in the village.

The villagers finally got to say what they had prepared for two days.

"Old sayings often say the God of Literature descends to the world. Our village is lucky to have two stars of literature. Since childhood, these two children, Wei Ming and Wei Hong, have been different from other children..."

Zhao Chunlai sneered inwardly when he heard the villagers' unprincipled flattery. However, when the reporter asked him, he could only bite the bullet and say: "I think this is inseparable from the Wei family's family education. Our village produced a Peking University student before, who is Wei Hong's cousin, so we must attach importance to education. No matter how poor, we cannot be poor in education. In this regard, our Gouzitun does very well. Under the leadership of our team..."

The situation was stronger than the people, and Brigade Leader Zhao could only sing along with the main theme.

Early the next morning, the family of four was sent to the county town by the brigade's donkey cart. They probably wouldn't be back for a short time.

On the train, Wei Ming agreed with his mother that he would accompany her to send Grandmother back to her hometown in a few days.

Xu Xu Shufen was afraid of delaying Wei Ming's business: "Mom can do it alone. I've also taken the train several times."

Two women with little education, how could Wei Ming be at ease?

He comforted: "I was originally going to Sichuan. I have a script filming there, and I also want to take a look."

Immediately, he lowered his voice: "And I want to find my little aunt again. There are also a few letters in Sichuan and Chongqing worth looking at."

Hearing her son say this, Xu Xu Shufen didn't say anything more.

"Ding ding ding! This is the first home my brother bought!" Wei Hong introduced to her mother and grandmother who came to the Overseas Chinese Apartments for the first time.

!

Wei Ming: "Xu Yunyun hasn't gotten off work yet, but she tidied up the room for you. This one faces the sun."

The room prepared for Sister Lin was left for them. The four rooms were full, but the study could also sleep one person. Wei Ming planned to buy a folding bed.

Xu Xu Shufen exclaimed at this large house. She had been to Ping'an's house and thought that city people's apartments were all that small, but her son's was much brighter and didn't feel oppressive to live in.

And there were TVs, phones, refrigerators, washing machines, and other things. Sigh, still missing a sewing machine.

Xu Xu Shufen poked Wei Hong's forehead: "You can be considered enjoying blessings following your brother."

Wei Ming turned on the electric fan to let everyone cool down.

Grandmother felt heartbroken: "Not hot, too wasteful of electricity."

Wei Ming laughed: "Grandmother, just blow it with peace of mind. I can still afford a few degrees of electricity. I can even earn foreigners' money now."

While chatting, Wei Ming heard the sound of a motorcycle outside and went downstairs.

Mei Mei Wenhua had been picking up and dropping off Xu Xu Yunyun these past few days, and they ate together. Without Wei Ming watching, Xu Yunyun's favor for Brother Mei Wenhua had increased greatly these past few days.

Now she wouldn't deliberately sit far away when riding his motorcycle, and sometimes she would hold his clothes to prevent falling off.

Usually, Mei Mei Wenhua wouldn't leave immediately and would beg Xu Yunyun: Xu Yunyun, just let Brother go up and drink some water.

However, Mei Mei Wenhua didn't dare today because he saw Wei Ming coming down, and he was carrying a murderous aura.

"Oh, Brother Ming is back!"

Seeing her cousin, Xu Yunyun stuck out her tongue and hurriedly went upstairs to find Grandma. Actually, she still wanted Brother Mei Wenhua to go up and sit for a while and drink some water before leaving today.

Wei Ming: "Thank you for picking up and dropping off by car these past few days."

"Brother Ming, what are you saying? We are all one family."

"What, you want to be my cousin-in-law?" Wei Ming's eyes were cold.

Seeing Wei Ming speak openly, Mei Mei Wenhua's spirit lifted: "Brother-in-law!"

"Get lost!" Wei Ming said seriously. "With your current status as the boss of Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi, it's not difficult to find any beautiful girl, but I only have this one cousin. As a brother, it's impossible to allow a brother-in-law to mess around outside, so you have to think clearly whether you want to give up a forest for a tree."

This threat sounded fresh to Mei Mei Wenhua, but upon careful consideration, it was full of traps.

"If there are many forests, they aren't mine anyway. At most, I can only marry one. Of course, I want to marry the one I like the most." Mei Mei Wenhua looked like it was a matter of course.

After speaking, thinking of the two posters at the shop entrance, he reacted and pointed at Wei Ming incredulously: "Brother Ming, you wouldn't be thinking..."

Thinking of having both!

"Talking about your problem, don't try to change the subject," Wei Ming said. "I just want to warn you. We are friends now, and also partners, but if you get Xu Yunyun in the future and do something to let her down, then not only will we not be friends, but I can also make you lose everything, so think clearly. Are you sure you want to provoke my sister?"

This threat made Mei Mei Wenhua silent. This, is it this ruthless?

Wei Ming: "Think clearly before deciding whether to pick up Xu Yunyun in the future. Don't be impulsive. You go back first."

Wei Ming might not be able to be loyal to one person, but he had to be strict with his brother-in-law. In the future, Xiaohong would be even stricter.

"No need to think, Brother Ming. I'm sure. It's Xu Yunyun. Her personality is too attractive to me, and she's beautiful. I think having such a wife can make me happy for a lifetime!"

Wei Ming stared into his eyes, and he didn't dodge.

Wei Ming nodded: "Fine, come up and drink some water, and by the way, meet my grandmother, Xu Yunyun's grandmother."

"Ah?" Now it was Mei Mei Wenhua's turn to be nervous.

"Afraid of what? It's not meeting my uncle." Wei Ming turned and left.

Mei Mei Wenhua followed slowly: "Don't try to scare me with your uncle. Xu Yunyun told me that the person who went on a blind date with her before was naturally short, and our height is considered tall in their local area."

He used to be inferior about his height of 172, but Xu Yunyun gave him confidence.

Wei Ming shook his head. It seemed that Mei Mei Wenhua had already tricked Xu Yunyun quite a bit these past few days, saying everything.

Even if he interfered forcibly, Xu Yunyun would probably say: Brother, you don't understand Mei Wenhua at all.

"Brother Ming, there's another good news I want to share with you." Mei Mei Wenhua said on the stairs.

"What news?"

"The battle record of our Oriental Dongfang Dongfang Xintiandi last month!" Mei Mei Wenhua said. "I've already summarized it. We opened for half a month last month. Guess how much we sold."

Wei Ming: "Definitely not ten thousand, right?"

"Eighty-eight thousand!" Mei Mei Wenhua gestured. "I have confidence that the turnover this month will reach one hundred and fifty thousand!"

This number was indeed terrifying. After all, it was 1980. Wei Ming asked: "What about the profit?"

"I'm calculating the employees' wages and bonuses, but the profit is definitely ten thousand. No, the profit you alone get is no less than ten thousand! Brother Ming, you are now a person who earns over ten thousand a month!"

He believed that even if Wei Ming was amazing at writing novels, he couldn't compare to this result.

This wasn't false. When there were no royalties and copyrights weren't valuable, Wei Ming only had two sets of houses and a car in a year, worth tens of thousands, but doing business could earn hundreds of thousands a year.

Hundreds of thousands in 1980!

He felt he should look at a three-entry courtyard.

Wei Ming patted Little Mei's shoulder: "You haven't revealed this number, right?"

"No, just you, me, and Biao Mom know. I didn't even tell Xu Yunyun," Mei Mei Wenhua lowered his voice. "And I've already renewed the contract with the street for two years. I'm afraid they'll raise the price if they know."

Wei Ming nodded: "That's good too."

Three years later, the business environment would be greatly improved. By then, the shop of two hundred square meters would become a thing of the past.

After going up to the third floor, before opening the door, Wei Ming noticed there was a letter in the mailbox.

"You go in first." Wei Ming pushed him in to face it alone, then he opened the mailbox and saw a letter from Hong Kong, Old Ghost's letter.

Putting it into his pocket, just as he entered the room, he heard Mei Mei Wenhua shamelessly shouting: "Second Aunt, Grandma!"
