Chapter 1,427 Visiting relatives, helping, and returning to Beijing
Not long after, five uncles and six aunts came in with their families.
The courtyards in the northeastern rural areas are quite big, and sixty or seventy people are crowded together, making it a bustling place, but it doesn't look crowded.
Su Mingzhe greeted everyone and saw that many cousins were not there, so he didn't pay attention.
After all, since the young and old men in Liujiatun got rich, they basically bought houses in the city and rarely returned to the village on weekdays.
However, after a while, Su Mingzhe looked at Liu Qiushan in surprise and asked:
"Uncle, isn't my seventh uncle living in the village?"
Liu Qiushan took a puff of the filter cigarette, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and then slowly explained:
"Your seventh uncle's family is in high school in the city, and his family has also moved there."
Su Mingzhe's grandfather had seven sons and seven daughters. His mother was the youngest daughter, and his seventh uncle was two years older than his mother.
The seventh uncle and his wife gave birth to five daughters in succession, and finally gave birth to a son.
When this son was born, Ma Suqin had just come to Liujiatun. Calculating his age, he should be seventeen or eighteen this year, and it was almost time to take the college entrance examination.
When Su Mingzhe heard that his little cousin was studying in the city, he remembered that this boy had been clever and clever since he was a child. He couldn't help but praise:
"The quality of education in the city's high schools is good. If Zhenhua studies hard there, maybe our village will produce another top pick!"
"What's the point of being the top pick? It's good if there are no mistakes."
Seeing that Su Mingzhe didn't understand the situation, Liu Qiushan blew out another puff of smoke and then said angrily:
"This boy Zhenhua didn't learn well. When he was in school in the county, he 'killed someone.' The girl's parents insisted on chopping up the boy. Your seventh uncle took him to school in the city to avoid disaster."
Upon hearing this situation, Su Mingzhe smiled and stopped talking about it.
At this time, everyone gathered together and started chatting.
It's just a small talk, but it's actually just bragging.
In the era of households with ten thousand yuan, there were more than thirty households in Liujiatun, and each household had a deposit of more than one hundred thousand yuan.
Among them, the one with the highest deposit amount can reach as much as four to five million.
In this era when civil servants' salaries are only a few hundred yuan, everyone really has bragging rights.
On weekdays, they have blown it countless times with people from neighboring villages, even towns and counties.
Now, Su Mingzhe, the number one scholar who left the village, has returned with his wife and children, and everyone has a new target to brag about.
Su Mingzhe and Ma Suqin laughed and chatted with everyone.
At noon, Liu Qiushan found a cook and set up twenty tables of banquets in his yard. All the villagers living in the village were invited over.
Had a banquet.
Su Mingzhe borrowed a native gun from his uncle and took his wife and children up the mountain to hunt and play.
Played for three days in a row.
When Ma Hongqi and Ma Hongjun returned to the Northeast, Su Mingzhe accompanied Ma Suqin and his family of four to the Ma family's old house in the Northeast.
Accompanied by Su Mingzhe, Ma Suqin visits her two brothers basically every year.
However, the two brothers Ma Hongqi and Ma Hongjun have not seen each other for several years.
Now when they meet each other, Ma Hongqi and Ma Hongjun find that each other has changed a lot.
Among them, Ma Hongqi's hair turned gray early because he had been teaching in the valley all year round and worried about the children in the mountainous areas.
As for Ma Hongjun, with his dark skin and scorched teeth, he looked like an old farmer.
On the other hand, Ma Suqin is already in her fourth year, but she is no different from when she was in her twenties when she first got married. Her skin is fair and delicate, and her eyes are clear and full of spirituality.
Sitting together, the three brothers and sisters felt like two generations.
The adults sat together and reminisced about old times, and the children also sat together and chatted.
The eldest child of the three families is Ma Hongjun's eldest son. He was born in 1969 and went to a junior college. After graduating this year, he was assigned to work in the County Water Conservancy Bureau. He has found a partner and plans to get married in the next year.
Ma Hongjun’s second and third sons are both still in college.
The other four children are in junior high school and high school.
The eldest child of Ma Hongqi's family is a girl. She is nineteen years old and has just been admitted to Bashu University.
The second daughter is in high school locally, and the youngest son is still in junior high school.
Compared with the children of the two families, Su Youbin and Su Yumeng are still very young, so they naturally become the objects of favor and greetings from everyone.
The three families, a total of 18 people, lived in a local guest house with eight rooms.
After paying homage to their parents, the three families spent a few days playing in the local area before preparing to fly home.
When leaving, Ma Suqin did not give any more money to her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Instead, she directly asked for her bank card number and gave each family 100,000 yuan.
Ma Hongjun's eldest son was getting married, and Ma Suqin alone gave this nephew a red envelope of 20,000 yuan.
In fact, in these years, when Ma Suqin went to visit her two brothers, she spent a lot of money.
At the beginning, it was only a few hundred yuan.
In 1982, due to price reasons, it was raised to 1,000 yuan.
By 1988, it had risen to 10,000.
Now it is directly given to 100,000 yuan.
In addition to sending money during visits, I often send school supplies, clothes, etc. for my children.
According to Ma Hongjun, if it weren't for the support of his younger sister Ma Suqin, one of his seven children would have dropped out of school as early as when they were in elementary school or junior high school. They would all be studying full-time as they are now.
These seven children are also particularly grateful to Ma Suqin, their aunt. Every time they meet, they call her "aunt" and "aunt", which makes people feel closer than their own parents.
Return to the capital.
Before Su Mingzhe had time to rest, Wen Qingxue called and said that his eldest brother and his brothers had brought their families to the capital to visit the old man.

Su Mingzhe, the son-in-law, naturally wanted to accompany him.
A busy Spring Festival was spent.
After the Spring Festival.
Ye Xiaolang, Qiao Sanli, Qiao Simei, and Sun Xiaomo rushed back to the capital from their hometowns.
Among them, Ye Xiaolang came back the fastest. He came back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It can be said that he only stayed in his hometown for a few days.
When this girl came back and saw the man, she acted like she was crazy. She let the man torment her desperately. Even if the man didn't follow the ordinary path, she didn't care. Until she fainted several times, because the family valued boys over girls, it caused her resentment. The anger is finally vented.
Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei came back on the tenth day of the lunar month.
Unlike Ye Xiaolang who was stimulated in his hometown, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei returned home this time and were obviously warmly received.
The Qiao family has changed a lot this year, and it can be said that good things have happened one after another.
Among them, Qiao Zuwang and Aunt Xia received their certificates, and the couple enjoyed spicy food all day long, so they should not live a comfortable life.
Qiao Yicheng's wife, Hu Chunxiao, gave birth to the Qiao family's first child, a son.
Qiao Erqiang and his woman received their marriage certificate before the Spring Festival and are now preparing to have a child.
Qiao Simei passed the Beijing Film Academy Art Examination two years ago. As long as she passes the college entrance examination in July, she can go to university.
On the other hand, among the children of the Qiao family, only Qiao Sanli lived a relatively peaceful life this year without any disturbance.
The Qiao family is also living a good life. After Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei returned to Jinling, the family has always been happy and did not bring up those unhappy topics again.
Sun Xiaomo came back last because she wanted to learn some experience in serving men from her mother.
As a young mistress, my grandma is very experienced.
When Sun Xiaomo returned from her studies, Su Mingzhe stayed at her place for one night and began to feel "lucky and nostalgic about Shu".
