He was a rather naughty and mischievous student when he was in school. He went out to work before finishing junior high school. Later, I heard that he was sent to a juvenile detention center for fighting.
I haven't seen him for a long time and almost didn't recognize him.
Following him was a woman dressed in a fashionable manner, who looked like she had been brought back from the city.
However, the Sun Xiaoxiao next to me is more fashionable, and he directly crushes the woman next to Wang Peng in all aspects.
Soon, Wang Peng came to me. He first glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao beside me.
"Hey! Chen Feng, is this your wife?"
I shook my head and said, "No, my friend came to my house to celebrate the New Year this year."
"That's it! Haha." Wang Peng smiled, then stretched out his hand to Sun Xiaojie and said, "Hello, I am Chen Feng's elementary school classmate."
Sun Xiaojie actually smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Wang Peng's hand. Wang Peng didn't seem to want to let go.
It wasn't until the woman next to him coughed lightly that he let go of his hand, then smiled and asked me: "Chen Feng, where are you making a fortune now?"
"What are you talking about? I just worked part-time and didn't get rich."
"Didn't I hear that you started a company and became your own boss?"
Everyone in the village knows about my bankruptcy. It is impossible for Wang Peng not to know. Now he is saying this in a weird way, which is obviously intentional.
I smiled calmly and said, "You're bankrupt. You should know this, right?"
"Oh!" he said, pretending to be pity, "That's such a pity, I even said I would come to hang out with you."
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and asked him again: "What about you? How are you doing?"
"It's not bad. I'm doing engineering now, and I recently contracted a project. I can earn several million in half a year."
Earning several million in half a year is quite a lot for an ordinary person. I don't know if he is telling me big words, but these have nothing to do with me.
I just smiled and replied: "That's good. I didn't expect you to be so promising now."
"That's right. In the past, you all thought that I was raised in a prison cell, but now people from all over the country are working under my command, including the monitor of our elementary school. Now he also works with me."
"Awesome, but what kind of engineering do you do?"
"I do everything, but now I mainly do communication engineering, which is the fastest way to make money."
"Well, that's good." I had nothing more to say, so I walked around him and walked forward.
Unexpectedly, he said to me from behind me: "Chen Feng, you are no longer the boss you were back then. Don't put on that stinky air of yours."
"Hey, what do you mean?" Sun Xiaojie couldn't listen anymore and immediately turned around and shouted at him.
I pulled Sun Xiaoxiao and signaled her to ignore it.
We continued to go to my grandfather's grave. On the way, Sun Xiaojie asked me: "Is that really your classmate just now?"
"Yes, elementary school classmate, no connection."
"Listen to what he just said, how arrogant he is! He makes millions in half a year. Does he think he is awesome? Tell him later that you once earned more than seven million in an hour."
I smiled and said, "Is it necessary?"
"If necessary, we should let people like him shut up their bad mouth completely."
I don't think it's necessary. Besides, I don't like to pretend to be big. Besides, I don't really have that much money.
In fact, I was quite surprised to come back this time. Many villagers used to be very dissatisfied with me and our family, but this time I came back and gave me a very strange feeling.
The villagers who used to look down on our family even took the initiative to say hello to me, and it didn't seem like they were being hypocritical.
Even Sun Xiaoxiao said that the neighbors in my hometown are very nice. Everyone greets me when they see me and they are all very enthusiastic.
I really don't know what's going on, I just feel weird.
On the way back from visiting the grave, I happened to pass by Wang Peng's house again, and I saw many people gathered around his door.
They yelled at him to give him money. These people must be farmers working for him.
Facing everyone, Wang Peng completely lost the momentum he had just talking to me. He said to the people surrounding him like a grandson: "How come you all came to my house? I told you that I have no money this year."
, the boss didn’t give me any money, who should I ask to reason with? Please wait a little longer!”
"Hold on!" One of the workers, who looked a bit fierce, shouted loudly, "We went to the company and asked, and they said that the money has been given to you a long time ago, so you can use it! Wang Peng, why don't you give us the money today?
, then don’t blame us for not letting you have a good New Year."
"It's just that our whole family is waiting to use the money, but you took our hard-earned money and used it. Where is your conscience!"
"I really don't have any money, or you can beat me to death!"
"Don't think we are joking with you. If you don't pay us today, we will file a lawsuit with the Labor and Social Security Bureau. My daughter said that the wages of migrant workers are very strict now. If you don't pay us, we will wait.
Go to jail!”
Wang Peng was completely drowned in these curses. I think he is in pain now, but he deserves it.
I didn't read any more, called Sun Xiaojie, and continued walking back.
Sun Xiaojie also knew what was going on and burst into laughter: "Didn't he act like that with us just now? Now you look at him like a grandson. This is too miserable!"
"Stop gloating here, this matter is none of our business."
"Look at the bustling head office. The mood I had just now disappeared all of a sudden. It's so satisfying."
I don't know whether it's pleasant or not, I just know that retribution always comes so quickly.
After I got home, my mother and I prepared the New Year's Eve dinner together. My mother had prepared all the hard dishes and only fried a few side dishes before we could eat.
Sun Xiaojie was not idle either, helping with sweeping the floor, washing dishes, and serving dishes.
If I usually brought a girl back like this, my mother would definitely ask me in detail about my relationship with Sun Xiaojie, but this time it was really strange, she didn't ask any questions.
I always feel that everything is strange, even the neighbors in my hometown are quite strange.
I immediately said to my mother: "Mom, I discovered a very strange phenomenon when I came back this time. Many villagers used to be at odds with us, but today many people took the initiative to greet me and were quite enthusiastic. What's going on?
?”
My mother said with a smile: "Yes, the folks have changed and are not as difficult as they used to be. This is thanks to the country's good policies."
I wondered: "Why are you grateful for the country's good policies?"
"You have also seen the changes in our village. Now many young people come to work, which is no worse than working outside, so there won't be any quarrels and scoldings like before over fighting for a little space."
My mother said, smiled again, and continued: "I feel that now it is very similar to the big collective in the past. Every household gets dividends every year, and can still work part-time. The younger ones can join the agricultural organization organized by Murakami.
The service team has a fixed salary of 3,000 yuan per month, and they also have to buy pension insurance."
To hear my mother say this, it is thanks to the party’s good policies. This proves that the country’s poverty alleviation station has made great achievements, which is obvious to all.
I nodded and said: "Indeed, when I came back just now, I found that a lot of previously abandoned land had been developed. I also wanted to go back and talk to the village party secretary about cooperation to see if I could get the village's agricultural products.
Sales and Logistics.”
My mother nodded in agreement and said: "This can be done, Afeng, but you must understand one sentence, no matter how rich you are in the future, you must contribute to society. This is a qualified boss."
I smiled and nodded: "I know, I will work hard in this direction."
My mother and I were chatting in the kitchen while Sun Xiaoxiao was busy clearing the dining table outside.
Taking the opportunity, I asked my mother again: "Mom, there is another thing that feels strange to me. Do you not welcome my friends very much?"
