"Xiao Tao? Are you back? But I haven't seen you for a while. Are these your friends?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
Before entering the mountain village, I met an old man who was carrying a pile of firewood on his back and greeted him warmly.
"Second uncle, these are my friends who came here to play! How are you doing now? You are so old and you still need to collect firewood? Where is Xiaowang?" Guo Tao said.
"Haha, Xiaowang is just like you. He went out to work outside the mountains. If he can make any future in a mountain village, it's better to go out!"
"My health is fine, you don't have to worry, you'll be fine if you take care of yourself!" the second uncle said with a smile.
"Well, that's good. Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Tang. He came to visit us. He feels that the scenery here is very good. He plans to help us build a road to make it easier for us to travel in the future..."
Guo Tao said.
Obviously, Guo Tao was afraid that Young Master Tang would change his mind midway, so he used words to tie Young Master Tang down...
"Build roads? Is this Mr. Tang? You are such a good man, but building roads is very expensive. Even if you build a trail where you can ride bicycles, motorcycles, etc., it will probably cost several million.
"Yes..." the second uncle shook his head.
Not to mention millions, even tens of thousands of dollars, few people in their village can afford it. To them, this is simply an astronomical figure...
"Second uncle, Mr. Tang is a big boss from Haishi. He is not short of money! He wants to help us." Guo Tao said.
"That's really, thank you, thank you so much, go, go, go, Mr. Tang, if you can really build a road, you will be a great benefactor to our Guojia Village!"
"With this road, it will be much more convenient for the children to go to school in the future..." the second uncle said with emotion.
"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Guo. If I say I will build a road for you, I will definitely do it! Of course, I have some things to do in the past few days and may disturb your village for a few days. Please bear with me, Uncle Guo!" Tang
The eldest young man smiled.
"It is our honor that you can come to our village. If you don't bear any burden, we promise to bring out the best things to entertain you! I will go to the village committee and tell the village chief the news.
Let’s arrange accommodation for you guys!” said the second uncle.
"Haha, don't be too busy, we all have tents with us!" Young Master Tang said with a smile.
It’s not like it’s very cold in winter right now, so sleeping in a tent will be fine.
"How about sleeping in a tent? There is a lot of humidity in the mountains, but the bed is more comfortable. It just so happens that there is a happy event in our village today, so you should join in the fun together!" said the second uncle.
"Happy event? What happy event?" Guo Tao asked.
"The village chief's son, Gangzi, is getting married today. We'll go see the village chief later, and we'll invite a few distinguished guests to the wedding banquet today!" said the second uncle.
"Gangzi is about to get married? Haha, that's such a happy event. Which girl did you choose?" Guo Tao asked.
"That's the girl from Li's Village in front of us. Haha, she's quite nice. Let's go!" said the second uncle.
At this time, there was a faint sound in the distance, like firecrackers, and some music playing. It was obvious that the village was lively!
Downstream of the village, there is a large flat land. Whenever there are weddings, weddings or other important events in Guojia Village, they are held in this place because it is big enough and cannot be held in your own home!
The second uncle and Guo Tao came with Young Master Tang and the others, obviously attracting the attention of these people. An old man in his fifties, with a 囍 on his chest, came towards Young Master Tang and the others...
…
"Second brother, eh, Xiao Tao, are you here too? Haha, what a coincidence, Gangzi is getting married today, come here, come here, just in time to sit down at dinner time!"
"Haha, Lao Qi, today is a double blessing. I have something to tell you!" said the second uncle.
"Double happiness? What other happy events are there?" Lao Qi was confused...
"Uncle Qi, this is Mr. Tang. He promised to donate several million to help us build a small road. In the future, we won't have to rely on two feet to go outside the village. At least bicycles, motorcycles, etc. can be used...
"
"Mr. Tang, he is just my seventh uncle, and he is also the village chief of our Guojia Village!" Guo Tao introduced.
"Hello, village chief, my name is Tang Fei. Don't be surprised if you come here uninvited!" Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Mr. Tang, are you really willing to help our village build roads? That would be great. Thank you, thank you so much!" The villager hurriedly took Mr. Tang's hand and shook it vigorously...
"Haha, it's just a little effort, don't worry about it!" Young Master Tang said.
"Your little effort has been of great help to our entire village. My son is getting married today. Please, Mr. Tang, please do not refuse and attend my son's wedding!" said the village chief.
"Haha, if you don't tell me, I also want to participate. I have been hungry for a long time after walking all the way. There happened to be a banquet, and Tang Fei couldn't help it!"
"However, according to Chinese rules, when having a wedding banquet, you always have to give a gift. Ah Bao, go and give us a gift, we can't just eat it in vain!" Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Tang!" Abao nodded when he heard this, and then walked towards a table.
"This, this is impossible, it is impossible. It is already our honor for you to attend our children's wedding. How can we give you a gift?" The village chief shook his head quickly.
"Haha, village, please don't refuse anymore. Our Chinese rules have been passed down for thousands of years. This is the same. You must accept this money. Otherwise, how can we have the nerve to have a wedding banquet..." Young Master Tang
chuckled.
In China, every family establishment has a necessary procedure on the wedding day, which is to receive gifts!
In fact, not only weddings, but all weddings and funerals have this etiquette!
There is a person in the village who specializes in writing and is considered good. He spreads out a big red paper. Every guest who comes to attend the wedding must walk here, take a gift money, and then attend the wedding!
Of course, this money is not free. If your family has the same wedding or wedding event in the future, they will also give you a gift, either more than what you gave them, or slightly more. This is called a return gift!
Young Master Tang obviously did not think about returning the gift when he gave the gift this time. When he gets married, he will not come here to notify the village chief to return the gift...
Abao came to the table, scanned it, and saw that the big red paper was already filled with people's names.
The red paper is divided into two lines, the upper line is the name and the lower line is the amount.
Looking at the amount, most were 100 yuan, a few were 200 yuan, and some were 500 yuan.
The difference in the amount obviously represents the difference in the relationship between relatives. For ordinary people, a hundred yuan is considered a good gift. This may be due to his status as the village chief!
When ordinary people get married, they always give a gift of fifty yuan, or even twenty yuan...
There is no way, there are few ways to make money in the mountains and valleys. It is not that they are stingy, but that they are too poor...
Those with two hundred yuan are obviously closer, while those with five hundred yuan may be those aunts, uncles, and the like, the closest relatives after their parents!
Mr. Tang asked him to come with the gift, and he didn't say how much. But think about it, he planned to donate several million to build roads in his village. The village chief's son was getting married, so he couldn't be stingy anymore...
So, Abao put down his backpack and took out a bunch of brand new red Mao Zedong bags. There were seals on them, so they were obviously unopened...
The surrounding villagers' pupils shrank when they saw so much money...
It's rare for people like them from the mountains to see so many Grandpa Mao...
Many people have not yet reached the threshold of a household with a household worth tens of thousands of yuan. With such a pile of red Mao Zedong, it is probably not worth tens of thousands...
"Tang Fei, ten thousand yuan!"
Abao said after throwing a stack of Mao Zedong in his hand directly on the table.
The person holding the pen to write was suddenly startled and the pen in his hand fell to the ground...
Ten thousand yuan?
Everyone's breathing quickened...
In their mountains and valleys, I have never heard of anyone being given a gift of 10,000 yuan when they get married...
Even in the village, when the daughter married the richest man in the neighboring village, when her son got married, his sister gave him a gift of 1,000 yuan. This was already the largest gift in the village!
"Tang Fei, ten thousand yuan, please write..." Abao said again.
"Oh, oh, oh, I'll write right away, write right away..." The old man hurriedly picked up the brush that fell on the ground, wiped it on Yantai, and wrote down on the red paper, Tang Fei, ten thousand
Yuan Zheng, a few big characters...
"Sir, Tang, the gift of ten thousand yuan is too much, too much. You can just give me one hundred or two hundred yuan..." the village chief said quickly.
"Haha, it's okay. We're getting married. Everyone wants to celebrate. What's more, there are so many of us here and it's not just me, haha..." Young Master Tang laughed.
When the village chief saw the 10,000-yuan gift, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Since he had already given it and put his name on it, there was no reason to give it back. China's thousands of years of rules still apply...
As his cousin, Guo Tao originally planned to give him 200 yuan, but when he saw how arrogant Mr. Tang was, he was naturally embarrassed to be stingy, so he impulsively gave away the 1,000 yuan reward that Mr. Tang gave him yesterday.
…
First it was ten thousand, and then another thousand came. Although it was not as domineering as the previous one, it was enough to blind many people’s titanium alloy eyes...
"My dear, this Xiao Tao has also made a fortune. He actually gave me a thousand yuan..."
"Yes, look at the friends Xiao Tao brought back, have you seen those two women? Darling, I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!"
"What do you know? Xiao Tao has been fooling around for a long time. That Mr. Tang is the big boss..."
"Tch, how did you know?"
"If you weren't a big boss, how could you get so much money? Just give me 10,000 yuan. I said Gouzangzi, do all your family's current savings add up to 10,000 yuan?"
