Chapter 559 One of his wheels finally came back!
Life is better now, and no one gives eggs or cloth as gifts anymore. Today, the gifts everyone gives are at least 5 yuan.
Zhou Xiao, Zhou Wei, Zhou Qin and others gave 20 yuan, and several cadres from the township government and those prominent people in Shengli Village gave 50 yuan.
Zhou Gui, Zhou Cai, Zhou Qingping, Nini and others gave 100 yuan, and Xu Man gave 200 yuan.
Xu Hanqi gave 2000 yuan, saying that since his grandmother's family was having a wedding, he had to give a big red envelope to express his blessings and joy.
Zhou's mother counted the gifts and found that the total amount was more than 4000 yuan. After the guests left, she stuffed all the money into Zhou Rong's pocket.
"You spent a lot of money on the color TV, refrigerator, and washing machine. I can't reimburse you for all of it. You should keep the money first, and I will give it to you slowly when the village dividends are distributed."
Zhou Rong didn't take the money and said jokingly, "Mom, Sigui and Wucai not only invited everyone to watch a movie, but also gave red envelopes. You are picking on me. You only bought things and didn't give red envelopes, right?"
After hearing this, Zhou's mother patted Zhou Rong lightly and said in feigned anger, "You are such a grown-up, yet you still make fun of me. Aren't you ashamed?
Not only did you buy those three expensive electrical appliances, you also bought a lot of cigarettes, alcohol, and candies. All together, I estimate that your spending would be tens of thousands of dollars. You are not my only child, why should you pay for everything?
I, your mother, hate to owe others, especially my own children. Please take this money. It will make me feel better."
Zhou Rong took the money, counted out 4000 yuan, and asked his mother to keep the remaining few hundred yuan in change for emergencies or to repay favors.
"I'll help you invest this 4000 yuan. Don't always argue with me about money. It would be fine if I didn't have money, but I don't lack money at all. I like to spend money on you. Seeing the happiness brought by money, I feel motivated to make money myself."
Zhou's mother: "Since you are not short of money, don't work so hard. Rest at home and don't ruin your health."
Zhou Rong: "I am a person who cannot sit still. It is boring to stay at home every day. I want to leave more assets for Ji Fan and Qiao En while I am still in good health.
Mom, you don’t know how big Ji Fan’s dreams are. I must support them.”
Afterwards, Zhou Rong told his mother about Zhou Jifan and Zhong Qiaoen’s dreams.
Mother Zhou said with emotion: “Ji Fan and Qiao En are really good children. The country needs younger generations like them to become stronger and more prosperous.
You can continue to invest the 4000 yuan. I don’t want the returns. I will just keep it in there. When Ji Fan and Qiao En grow up, I will give the money to them to realize their dreams.”
Zhou Rong: "Okay, I'll thank you on their behalf."
Mother Zhou: "What is there to thank them for? They are all descendants of our Zhou family. If they succeed, your father and I will be proud."
Because Zhou's father was happy, he drank a few more glasses at noon. After seeing off the guests, he fell asleep on the bed and did not get up until dark.
He rubbed his slightly swollen forehead and said, "I'm old and useless. I get a headache after drinking a few cups. When I was young, I would not even gasp for breath if I drank ten times the amount."
Zhou's mother wanted to say something to him, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. It was not the first time she knew what kind of person her husband was. At this age, God might take their lives away at any time. They should just live as they want. At least they will have no regrets...
After dinner, Zhou Rong accompanied his father and mother to the movies.
Some villagers had already reserved seats for them and took them directly to the middle seat in the front row.
While the projectionist was adjusting the movie equipment, everyone was praising Zhou's father's family for the excellent banquet they had organized. The food was delicious, the ceremony was grand, and many high-ranking officials were in attendance, which brought honor to Zhoujiawan.
After hearing this, Zhou's father leaned back in his chair and smiled.
The next day, the weather was good, and Zhou Rong helped Zhou's mother wash all the sheets and quilt covers that everyone had slept on in the washing machine. Zhou's father praised the washing machine for its practicality, saying that it washed clothes without anyone having to do anything, and that it was money well spent!
After the upstairs and downstairs houses were cleaned up, Zhou Rong invited Zhou's father and mother to go to the city, saying that she planned to hold a reunion dinner next month, where all investors would get together to have a meal and celebrate the New Year in the city.
Father Zhou was a little unhappy when he thought about going to the city before he even got used to his apartment, so he advised, "The hotel we're dining in is very expensive, a table here costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and your money didn't come from the wind, so why do you treat everyone to a meal every year?
Whether the money invested in you is a loss or a profit, you just tell us the number, don't we believe you? Why waste money?
If you really want to treat us, just go back to Zhoujiawan and set up a few tables. It will be enough for everyone to eat for a few days and nights, and you can save a lot! "
Zhou's mother also felt that the cost of entertaining guests every year was too high, and advised Zhou Rong to skip the reunion dinner this year.
Zhou Rong smiled and said, “The expenses for entertaining guests are all included in the company’s operating costs, not paid out of my own pocket.
I want to use this method to keep everyone connected, otherwise the family ties will fade over time. By the way, I want to let everyone know the company's operating status to prevent them from saying that I am not doing anything or that I have greedily taken their money.
This year, Xu's relatives will also attend the reunion dinner. We can get to know each other and take care of each other if something happens in the future."
After Xu Hanhua announced his plan to set up a family fund, Xu's relatives and friends responded quickly. Each family only left a small amount for living expenses, and gave the rest of the money to Xu Hanhua for investment.
They have been in the business world for a long time and have experienced many movements. They understand that keeping money on oneself is the most unsafe thing, especially when there is no big backing.
They believed that Xu Hanhua's ability would help them make money, which would not only double their assets, but also provide security for their descendants...
After listening to Zhou Rong's explanation and knowing that their daughter was not spending the money alone, Zhou's father and mother stopped persuading her. They agreed to set the time for the reunion dinner and go to the city two days in advance. During this period, they will still live in Zhoujiawan.
Zhou Rong said it was no problem, and seeing that nothing was wrong in Zhoujia Bay, he returned to Jiangcheng.
Zhou Rong called Xu Hanhua, and after discussing, the two decided to have a reunion dinner at Zhenhua International Hotel on February 88, 2 (the 7th day of the twelfth lunar month). That day happened to be a Sunday, so everyone had time.
After the time for the reunion dinner was set, Zhou Rong, like last year, customized a batch of invitation letters and sent them to her relatives who had invested money through the post office.
Those who received the invitation letters were curious about how much the dinner was made this year at such a high-end place as Zhenhua International Hotel. So on February 2, they all dressed up and went to the venue.
Because the Zhou and Xu families were holding a banquet together this year, Xu Hanhua had already contacted Xu Hanqi to book the largest venue in the hotel, so it would be no problem to set up thirty or fifty tables.
The two families gathered in the venue. Many people had met Shen Qingran and Xu Hanqi at their wedding, and everyone greeted them warmly.
When everyone arrived, Xu Hanhua came on stage and announced that this year's revenue had increased by 280%. Everyone present applauded spontaneously.
The applause lasted for a long time.
Xue Quan even cried with excitement. Finally, one of his wheels came back!
As long as he keeps up this momentum, he will be able to drive his motorcycle home within three years...
