Pamper Eighties

The days go by so fast, in a blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, Taoyuan Village has entered spring again, the earth is green, the peach blossoms are blooming, and Mengmeng also ushered in her six-year-old birthday.

On this day of Mengmeng's birthday, the whole family gathered to celebrate her birthday.

In the conference hall of the Taoyuan Hotel, all the tables and chairs have been removed, leaving a large space in the middle, where the cute birthday cake is placed. There are three floors. There are also six small candles on it, which emit candlelight warmly.

Mengmeng was wearing a pink-purple princess dress with a round collar and a circle of pink-purple embroidery. A pink-purple ribbon separated the fluffy skirt and tied it into a beautiful bow.

Mengmeng's smooth hair is draped over her shoulders, and she wears a delicate pearl crown on her head. The huge pearl in the middle is round and white, shining with a warm metallic luster. Look closely, the string of pearls on her neck The necklace also shone with the same brilliance.

The luster is like a rainbow, and it is still looming, setting off the cute and tender little face even more delicately, it is like a little fairy from the sky descending to earth.

One word, beautiful. Two words, beautiful. Three words, very beautiful.

"You are four words, not three words." It turned out that Mrs. Feng had already said these words inadvertently, and Mr. Feng standing beside her heard it and couldn't help grinning. Corrected her mistakes.

Old lady Feng rolled her eyes at him, "You don't care about me, it doesn't matter if it's three words or four words, we Mengmeng just look good."

After she said this, she greeted Mengmeng and said, "Dear baby, go up and blow out those candles, and share cakes for your uncles and aunts."

Seeing Mengmeng puff out her little mouth and blow out the candles, Madam Feng said proudly, "From the Guangming family, this set of pearl jewelry you gave to Mengmeng is so suitable, our family is Mengmeng one. Put it on, it's just like it was made for her, thank you so much."

Yang Xiaojuan's whole family also came to Mengmeng's birthday party, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "His old aunt, this is specially made for Mengmeng, and every pearl on it is handmade by my brother Rui. The choice, even when inlaying, he personally installed it. Brother Rui said, Mengmeng is his sister, and she must be the best in everything."

Old lady Feng laughed even deeper, and looked at Brother Rui and praised him with satisfaction: "Brother Rui, you are too caring, I thank you for our Mengmeng."

Brother Rui is also dressed very decently today, the most popular fashion style in the south, he has put on for himself, plaid overalls, thick cotton white shirt, buttoned tightly, and wearing a neck. Bow tie, the short curly hair is all combed back, revealing his full forehead, and he looks rich and noble.

He looked particularly good-looking when he smiled, and said very modestly, "Grandma Feng, pearls are all our own, and they are not worth a lot of money. I will make a set for my sister to wear and play with, and I will pick some good ones for my sister later. Do it again."

"Oh, one set is enough. Your pearls are not cheap. These are high-end goods. Don't think that Grandma Feng doesn't know that many big bosses outside are waiting to collect your pearls."

The old Zhang family cultivated pearls back then, and many people in the village were not optimistic. They did not expect that in just four years, the batch of pearls could be harvested, and it was still a bumper harvest. Every pearl taken out from the pearl mussels was round again. You run, and even some very large pearls, which caused a sensation in the whole village at once.

How can fishermen who live by the sea not understand pearls? On the contrary, they know the value of pearls better than anyone else. When the production team used to be able to get a single pearl in exchange for a bag of rice, let alone now, pearls so big, round and white are rare even in the sea. I didn’t expect Lao Zhang The family really nurtured them.

The people in the village are so envious that their eyes are red. Some people have already estimated the price of these pearls in their hearts, and some people say that the big bosses outside will come in to buy them. In short, these pearls are very valuable. Made a fortune.

Madam Feng was actually very curious, so she took this opportunity to inquire and heard: "From the Guangming family, how do you sell so many pearls in your family? Did you sell them to the big boss as they said?"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaojuan explained a little bit: "His old aunt, don't listen to their nonsense. My family doesn't plan to sell this batch of pearls. No matter how big the boss is, he can't give us that much money.

Seeing that Mrs. Feng nodded, she continued with a smile: "I'll prepare, we will also open a pearl processing factory in our village, specializing in making jewelry and pearl powder. Now everyone is living a good life. , there is a lot of money on hand, and there should be people willing to buy our jewelry."

Madam Feng tutted her tongue incessantly, and said with great admiration: "Your daughter-in-law is too insightful, but that's not how it is. Your pearls are so good, you process them yourself and sell them, and the money goes into your own pocket. Here, I heard that the powder made of pearls is very effective for wiping the face. In the past, everyone in our village suffered from liver disease and his face turned yellow. It was the sixth aunt who gave him pearl powder to eat. It's just good to eat."

Yang Xiaojuan said with admiration: "Auntie is more knowledgeable than others, and I think so too. When my family's pearl powder is produced, I will give some to my aunt's house."

Madam Feng declined and said, "Don't, you keep your money to sell, and if I want it, I have to pay for it. To tell you the truth, I also like your pearls, which will be made in your factory. After buying jewelry, I will take Mengmeng and her mother to pick them from you."

They were talking on this side, and the men also gathered at the other end to chat. Old Feng had two trays of cakes in his second hand, and handed one of the trays to his father, and he sat on his right hand.

Old Man Feng was eating the cake, his son's eyes were always on him, he couldn't eat anymore, he put down the spoon and said, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Feng Lao Er finally waited for the opportunity. After clearing his throat, he started to say, "Dad, I can't make a lot of money when I go to the south to be a messenger. I don't plan to go to the south again. I have no future as a messenger."

The old man Feng asked, "Then what are your plans?"

Feng Lao Er clenched his fingers and said to his father: "Dad, don't I run a restaurant? The business is good. I found that everyone's favorite food is seafood, so I'm going to open a restaurant in the provincial capital. If you want to open a seafood restaurant, open a bigger one. We have the seafood supply in our village. This is the first-hand source of goods. Don’t worry about the second-order dealers raising prices in the middle. I think you should be able to make money for this.”

Old man Feng couldn't help but glance at him, and said in a soft tone: "Second, your idea is very good, you need to be flexible when doing business, and you can't make a lot of money if you keep doing it. Dad supports you to go to the city. Do you have enough money to open a restaurant? Would you like me to lend you some?"

When Feng Lao Er opened this mouth, he originally meant to borrow money, and said a little embarrassedly: "Dad, my family's money is enough now, I'm just worried that the money will not come together after opening the restaurant, and Dad is willing to borrow money. Give it to me, it would be better, I will take it from you when I need it, and I will return it to you as soon as I earn it."

Old Man Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as you earn money from your conscience, Dad will support you."

Feng Lao Er was so moved that his eyes were turning red, and he had a lot of things to say in his heart, but in the end he only got one sentence: "Thank you Dad."

Mengmeng was sitting on her grandfather's left hand. She was eating cake, but stuck out her head and said, "Second uncle, does a seafood restaurant sell seafood?"

Feng Lao Er smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mengmeng, when the second uncle opens the restaurant, please invite us Mengmeng to have a big meal, okay?"

"That's great!" Mengmeng agreed immediately, and said with a big gesture, "Second uncle opens a restaurant and makes a lot of money."

"Hahaha, I just love to hear our cute words."

Feng Lao Er was so happy that he laughed. He felt that the child's mouth was clever, and what he said was often true. Thinking of this, he became more confident.

Feng Laosan also heard it next to him. To be honest, he doesn't plan to go to the south again. His main business is fishermen. He goes out to fish almost every day. The crops really can't be drawn out.

When he got home, he told Chen Hongmei about his plans, but Chen Hongmei had no objection, and took the opportunity to put forward his own ideas.

"My son's father, you don't go to the south anymore. Our family is just a fisherman and a farmer, and can't make a lot of money. You see, the second uncle is going to run to the city to open a restaurant, that's the big money. Work, in the future you three brothers will count you as the least promising. You don’t think about yourself, but also for the three children in the family. They are all sons. In the future, they will marry wives. If the family has no money, What are we going to get them to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Feng Laosan felt a bit reasonable. He had no idea, so he looked at Chen Hongmei and said, "Then what do you say?"

Chen Hongmei's eyes flashed, and she came up with a bad idea: "I heard what the second sister-in-law said today, their restaurant is going to be opened in the provincial capital, and it still uses seafood from our village. I just thought, Isn’t it just opening a restaurant, we also have fishing boats at home, and we can catch seafood by ourselves, without spending a penny, we can also open a restaurant and keep more money than the second uncle’s house.”

Feng Lao San's eyes changed when he looked at her, and his tone became fierce: "Are you asking me to go grab business with my brother? Fuck your mother! If Feng Lao San wants to do this, I will still do it. people?"

Chen Hongmei was a little afraid to dodge, but she still said stubbornly: "You treat others as brothers, they have the opportunity to make money now, and they didn't take you with them."

Feng Laosan waved his fists and said, "You mother-in-law, I think you are itchy and need to be beaten. My second brother runs a restaurant in the village, and a few little babies in our family often go there to eat and drink. You never said anything, why are you so embarrassed to think about it?"

He tried several fists, but in the end he didn't start to fight. He was extremely disappointed, and warned viciously: "I tell you, you don't have to think about this matter, I, Feng Laosan, are not something, nor I'll go grab my brother's job."

After saying this, Feng Laosan slammed the door and walked away. If he didn't leave, he was worried that he would not be able to bear to beat the woman. It wasn't that he was reluctant to beat Chen Hongmei, but that the woman couldn't change well. waste his energy.

He came to the motorboat booth outside the village. Just after noon, there were no tourists on the beach, and even if there were people, they were wandering in the village.

Nowadays, there is a shopping street in the village, which is a store built by the cooperative. Many people rent shops there, and they sell the local specialties and seafood of the village, which are very popular with tourists.

Feng Laosan looked at it, and suddenly a flash of light flashed, and a bold idea gradually took shape in his mind.
