After hearing this, the second master calmed down for a moment, and then said: "That's true, whichever company you open is really busy. Anyway, some people in the village are also the same ones as you.
Times have changed.
Now, the atmosphere in the village has changed a bit. It doesn't matter if you don't come, you are out of sight and out of mind.
Hmm. Little Ye Zi, the village now is different from the village you used to have, so you'd better have someone who can be sure that the village is different."
At this time, Ye Ming was a little curious, what kind of thing made the second master, who always thought he could control the whole village, so downcast, so he asked without hesitation: "Second master, what do you think?"
Such a change, I haven't been here for a long time anyway, so I don't know much about some of the changes in the village. Second Master, please tell me about it. I finally came here, and I always need to know this.
Has anything changed in the village?
Not only did I just put down my luggage and come to see the second master, but I also wanted to learn from the second master what changes had taken place in the village.
If you don't say this, I won't know what to do. Do you think this is true?"
The second master sighed, and then said: "Little Yezi, you can see how good it is here and how simple the style is. The villagers also work hard and without complaint, but they don't cherish their own strength, and they do whatever they are told.
, but it’s different now.
Now, everyone is busy making money. In the past, when we were eating at home, we would often sit together and chat on the street. But that is no longer the case. Now, everyone is busy making money. The family ties between neighbors have changed.
It has become a lot less indifferent, so even now I still don’t recognize the village I have lived in for most of my life. Then there is the issue of betrothal gifts. Do you know? How much are the betrothal gifts in the village now?
?
In the past, when you left, you went to college. Were those film schools when you went to college? Well, the betrothal gift in the village was only three to five thousand yuan, right? It was almost like 5,000 yuan.
, so it was not particularly difficult to get married at that time. Although money was still quite valuable at that time, relatively speaking, the bride price at that time was not very high, but you know if you want to marry a girl in our village now,
,How much do we need as a bride price?"
Ye Mingdao really didn't know this, because he had been away for too long. He had only heard that the bride price was relatively high, but he didn't ask carefully how high it was, so
At this time, Ye Ming was also curious and said: "Second Master, I have heard that our team is relatively high for the first time, but I don't know how high it is, and I didn't ask carefully.
, But then, I think the bride price should be relatively high."
The uncle sighed and said: "Who doesn't? Now in addition to building a house, build a 2-story building. If you build it in a village, you will build a 2-story building. If you want to buy it in a city, it must have at least 2 bedrooms and 1 floor."
A house with 3 bedrooms and 1 living room is best.
Then, the bride price is basically 90,000 or 100,000 yuan. This does not include the three gold coins given to the woman, as well as household appliances and so on. These are all purchased by the man, so basically it adds up.
, if a little boy wants to get married now, the approximate price should be around 500,000. If he wants to get married and have a wedding, it is probably impossible for a living person to complete it without 400,000.
It is even said that some high betrothal gifts have reached 150,000. The betrothal gifts in our village are relatively low because we are close to the urban area, right?
After all, the geographical location is relatively superior. Although it has not been developed yet, after all, we want to develop it because it is close to the city. Maybe it can be developed at any time, so the gift we received is almost 10
It’s about 10,000, but the further south you go, the higher the betrothal gift. Even 150,000 is standard. The further away from the city, the higher the betrothal gift requirement. So if you think about what’s going on now, there is no
Doesn’t money stop getting married? Even if 100,000 yuan is deducted for inflation, then at this time, it is almost the same as before, 20,000 yuan, right?
If you think about it, getting married now is more expensive than getting married four or five times before. Think about this number, how do you feel about it? Of course, I think this money may be good for you.
It’s nothing to me, but to ordinary people, if someone’s son wants to get married, basically half of his life’s wealth will have to be invested in it, and he may even have to take out a loan. So, I think now
The village has changed a lot. It is no longer what it is. Even if you come here, I don’t even recognize you.
Think about it, why are the betrothal gifts so high? Don’t you get married if you don’t have money? As for this matter, the two of them are actually very puzzled in their hearts. I don’t know why young people today always look forward to such high betrothal gifts.
, it’s really frustrating for both families, my dear, it’s really difficult to get married now.”
That said, he is very lonely here. He used to be the leader and everyone in the village would listen to what he said. But now he is still the leader, but what he says is no longer as smart as before. Everyone is busy making money.
, who would care about an old man? So now, Erye feels a little unbalanced in his heart. He feels that Hehua Village has become more and more strange, and it is less and less like the Hehua Village in his memory.
He even said that few people are willing to chat with him anymore.
This time Ye Ming came back, the second master took the opportunity to chat with Ye Ming, because Ye Ming is a person who does big things, so he must have vision and will definitely agree with his point of view. Now
It's normal to get married with four or five hundred thousand yuan. Good guy, four or five hundred thousand yuan. How much does a farmer earn per month now? Two to three thousand yuan, 2,000 yuan. That's already a relatively high salary.
Think about it. If you don't eat or drink, you have to work for at least 40 years in the countryside before your son can get married. Good guy, assuming that both villagers go out to make money, it will take 20 years. Think about getting married.
It consumes the entire income of a family of two workers for 20 years.
If you go out to eat or drink, it is estimated that you will need an income of three to four years. Wanting to affect the cost of such a marriage makes the second master very worried, but he has no way to change this problem.
Because the custom is like this, this matter is not decided by Hehua Village alone. In fact, Hehua Village's financial resources are already relatively low. The second master just said that 100,000 yuan is already relatively low. If the family conditions
Fortunately for Chen Chengming, 70,000 to 80,000 yuan is not out of the question, because the better the family situation, the lower the betrothal gift requirement. It is very normal here. If it is any lower, 70,000 to 80,000 yuan is not impossible.
There is always something.
This is the price of the bride price alone. If you think about it, this is a bit scary. Now it has reached the point where it is difficult to get married. So, at this time, the second master is still very worried, so he just caught
Let’s take the opportunity to chat with Ye Ming about this topic.
. When a young man reaches an age, it is impossible for you not to get married, right? Getting married costs so much money, which is also very troublesome, but there is no way. The current social atmosphere is like this. If you don't do this, you will not be able to get married at all.
Can't get married.
Ye Ming was relatively speechless about this matter, and still said helplessly: "I really can't do anything about this, Second Master. Even if you tell me, I can't do anything, because now the social atmosphere has risen, just like you said
, the 100,000 yuan here in Hehua Village is already relatively low.
Well, I can tell you one thing, what is the best, your own is the best. Do you know that when a young couple gets married, no matter how much money you spend on the young couple, this is considered
The best thing is that the money is given to the young couple. As for who will pay back the money in the end, of course it is the parents who pay back the money.
In other words, the young couple worked on their own to pay back the money. Anyway, it was enough to get the money first. Maybe some young people were forced into helplessness. There is no way to explain this clearly. After all, I am not the party involved.
I don't quite understand this situation.
However, the issue of inflated betrothal gifts is now a common social phenomenon. It is indeed a little higher here. Our economy here is only at the level of a third- or fourth-tier city. But, here we are
The requirements for getting married are similar to those in first-tier cities. Apart from housing prices, there is basically no difference from first-tier cities.
So, it is said that the betrothal gifts here are a bit exaggerated. I am also very helpless about this, because this has formed a social trend and it is impossible to change in a short time.
What you have is the best, and young people today have this view, so this is also a key factor that causes the betrothal gifts to be inflated."
At this time, the second master laughed awkwardly twice, and then said: "Oh, forget it, what's the use of telling you this? It's true that you can't control it. In fact, those who want to change this social atmosphere can't
It’s not easy. I won’t talk to you about these unhappy things. Now, at this time, I want to talk to you about the happy things. You happened to be here today, and we also had a couple of drinks happily.
I'm looking for a few people. Let's get together. Let's go to Limin Restaurant. The food in Limin Restaurant is quite good. In fact, you don't need to make a phone call in the countryside at this time. You can go out and walk around and you will be notified.
Go pick up your cell phone and make a call to make a joke. In rural areas, if the distance is not too far, people will laugh at you if you call. In rural areas, there is no such sense of distance. If there is anything, just go to his house and talk to him.
So, Ye Ming followed the second master around the village and attracted the attention of the villagers. At this time, some people were wondering whether to attend the dinner.
The second master notified only about seventy or eighty people. Ye Ming calculated that even if the second master and himself were added, there would not be more than 13 people. This was almost the number of people for a larger table.
, they are all people who have a good relationship with the store name. However, in the end, this is a matter, there are still some problems. I don’t know how to say this. At this time, some people actually said that Ye Ming came home to treat guests.
, Good guy, there are rumors in the outside world that Ye Ming is now a rich man, so he is going to treat him when he comes home this time.
Since someone is treating you, why don't you come? After all, it's free of charge, right? Since it's free of charge, of course you will come. On this point, everyone knows clearly.
In the end, it was like celebrating the New Year. In fact, about 700 or 800 people from most of the village had already gathered in front of the hotel. The hotel can't accommodate that many people, so this small restaurant can only accommodate 200 people at most, which is considered a big deal.
More than 700 people came at once, which was impossible to accommodate.
So, at this time, someone told the village chief about this matter.
The second master was chatting with Ye Ming at home. After hearing this, he immediately became angry. This good guy, who dares to spread rumors? After being the leader for so many years, the second master actually still has some prestige in the village, so,
After he stood up, he said to Ye Ming: "Little Ye Zi, let's go over and take a look. I'll see if any bastard dares to sow discord here. I'll go take a look.
Good guy, you are playing tricks on me in front of me. Do you think the tiger is not showing off its power and you treat me like a sick cat?
In the past two years, the second master feels that his status has been seriously challenged, so he wants to find opportunities to deal with some people. Therefore, in such a situation, he feels that this is a good opportunity to establish his authority.
.
In fact, the second master didn't even need to ask, he knew that someone must be sowing discord in the middle, because these people were the people he was looking for. The name of the restaurant did not say that he wanted to treat everyone to a meal. This meal was also invited by the second master.
, of course, in the end, Ye Ming definitely didn’t know that the second master paid for it, but in name, it was still the second master who invited him. As for why some people said that the big star Ye Ming invited guests again this time, it is unknown.
Maybe it's out of envy, jealousy and hatred. Legend has it that Ye Ming has a fortune of hundreds of millions. Why does a young man have so much money? I did eat grilled dishes here in Hehua Village. Of course, I can't get there now.
To the extent that they eat glutinous rice, every family must be able to afford pork belly. However, compared with billionaires, the lives of the villagers in Hehua Village are indeed a little regrettable.
