"Mom Zhou's family, do you know? The vegetable prices have risen again today!"

In the morning, when Zhou's mother came back with a basket of vegetables and meat, she met several old ladies in the yard.

They are retired employees of the Second Food Factory in Shanghai. They cook for their husbands and children at home on weekdays. When they are free, they sit by the corridor in the family area, chatting and talking under the tree, but they are not lonely.

The Zhou family is like Li family, who bought a fund-raising house sold by the second Food Factory to the outside world.

Therefore, Zhou's mother also followed her husband and brought the third and fourth daughters, the son and the fourth child, to Shanghai, and lived here, accompanying them to study in Shanghai.

Although the people of Shanghai are a bit xenophobic, they actually have this matter everywhere, it is just a matter of degree.

Even in Rongcheng, which is known as the most gentle and enthusiastic, you are still looked down upon by people who have no ability.

If a person wants to live and struggle, he is destined to be influenced by others. As long as you work hard to succeed, others will naturally respect you.

Worshiping the strong is such a character in the entire human being, and even the animal world.

The Zhou family is not a business person. Although such a person is not looked down upon in Shanghai, his status is not too high.

The reason they bought a house here is because Zhou Jing, the second daughter of the Zhou family, works in Shangmei Factory, and she went to work in Xiangjiang Qilin Culture for two years, so she has the money.

Zhou's mother was also intentionally or unintentionally improving her status in the circle of old women, so she has moved here for so much half a year. Everyone knows that this beautiful Zhou Jing was very praised by the people of Xiangjiang there when she was working in Qilin Culture. She originally wanted to keep her in Xiangjiang with a high salary, but she couldn't rest assured that her parents and relatives at home, so she came back.

There are regulations for Shangmei Factory. If these young people who can still come back after going to Xiangjiang were from the factory before they cooperated with Qilin Culture, and the ones who are taking care of their families are not counted. If they can come back, they will have to solve the household registration in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for their families.

It was precisely because Zhou Jing saw this that she wanted to change the fate of her eldest brother, sister-in-law, third brother and fourth sister in her family, so she ignored Xiangjiang's high salary and returned to work in Shangmei Factory.

As a result, as soon as she came back, within half a year, her family all became Shanghai residents. Within 1999, her younger brothers and sisters were admitted to universities in Shanghai one after another, so she naturally needed to have a house in Shanghai.

Shangmei Factory has raised funds to build houses. Well, it is actually a welfare house, and you basically don’t have to spend money on it.

But this welfare house is only for people in the unit, and the houses assigned are different for older, dual-employed, married, married, with children, single, etc.

Zhou Jing has not been in love yet and is still single, so she has only divided a house of 80 square meters and cannot live in the 120 square meters elevator house behind.

Although the house is still enough to live in, if there are so many people, even if the younger brothers and sisters live in school on weekdays, it will seem a bit crowded.

In addition, Zhou Jing thought that she should do more for her family, so when the second food factory was going to take out a takeaway house two years ago, she came to see it and immediately bought a house for money.

Even the price of decoration and other prices, she spent more than 32,000 yuan, but she didn't have any electrical appliances like Lijia, but it was not shabby, and she had everything she should have.

In this way, each of their parents, third brothers and fourth sisters can have a room, and it is a spacious and bright building, which really makes them very happy.

When I was in the countryside, I lived in a brick and tile house with civil structures, but the conditions really were impossible to compare with now.

Now, not only can they live in a building, Zhou Jing also paid for the house to demolish and rebuild five three-story houses, one for the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the remaining parents and three siblings, one for each. Now they don’t live there, but they have to stand there.

Such a neat and beautiful building was built, but it caused a sensation in all corners of the countryside!

The old ladies are all gossiping all day long and have to talk about all small things.

Zhou’s mother was originally good at chatting and establishing relationships, and after moving in for more than half a year, she had already formed a group with them.

Although Zhou's mother and the others are both rural people in Jiangnan, they have such an outstanding daughter. They can get a high salary of more than 800 yuan in Shanghai Factory in a month. They are also very talented and will definitely have a bright future in the future. Naturally, they will be included in the circle and no longer regard her as a countryside outsider.

Hearing the warm greetings from several old ladies, Zhou's mother also replied with a smile, "Yes, everything has increased the price, and even lean meat has increased a lot! But the third and fourth brothers in the family are coming back today, and there is no oil or water at school, so I can only make up my mind and buy more oil and meat to let them eat more oil and meat!"

"Haha, this requires your family to be in good condition, otherwise where can you eat such a good thing?" Several old ladies looked at the obvious dishes and meat in her basket, and were a little envious when they spoke.

"We are almost the same everywhere... Oh, it's getting late, I have to go back and stew the elbows. Let's talk in the afternoon!" Zhou's mother looked at the watch in her hand, smiled and greeted her, and hurriedly walked into the building.

The corridors are naturally sound-free. When she went upstairs, she naturally heard the undepressed sounds of several old ladies.

"This is really willing to spend money on the Zhou family. I just stewed chicken the day before yesterday, and stewed elbows again today!"

"Yes, their family eats meat every day, and we often ask about the fragrance upstairs."

"It would be great if my family was like this. Now the prices are so expensive, I can't afford to eat!"

"Why are there such a big gap between people?"

"Don't she have a good daughter? If you have such a daughter who is a technical backbone in Shangmei Factory, then you can eat meat every day!"

"Hey, isn't Zhou Ermei not in love yet? Your kid is about the same age as her, why don't you go and get together?"

"Don't mention it. I took him to the Zhou family last time, but he saw that he didn't even dare to say anything. How could he match it?"

"Well, yes, Zhou Ermei went to work in Xiangjiang after all. Her appearance and temperament are really great. I wonder which kid will be cheaper in the end!"

“…”

Listening to this, Zhou's mother couldn't help but feel proud.

It’s different to have a good daughter!

Fortunately, I was dizzy at the beginning and married her to my eldest brother who was the eldest daughter-in-law. Otherwise, how could I have had the good life today?

After returning home for a while, Zhou's father, who was going out to fish, came back.

While he was busy cooking, his third son and fourth daughter who were attending weekend activities at school also returned.

The last person to come back was Zhou Jing.

Although Zhou Jing usually lives at Shangmei Factory's home and eats in the cafeteria, she will come over on weekends and be with her parents and sisters.

"Why are you in a bad mood?" Zhou's mother looked a little haggard when she saw her daughter changing her shoes, and asked with concern.

"Last night I worked overtime to do cartoons, and there were a few details that needed to be modified. We were busy all night." Zhou Jing said tiredly, "I had breakfast at 8 o'clock before going home to rest, and I slept until now."

After looking at the time, it was now 12 years old, Zhou's mother said with heartache, "Why don't you sleep for a while? I'll just give you a hot meal later."

"No, I'll eat and sleep, and wait until 5 o'clock to go to the factory to work overtime." Zhou Jing sat on the dining table and said, "I've been very busy recently. In order to get more progress, everyone works overtime, and it will last for a month!"

"If you work so much overtime, your salary will definitely be higher, right?" Zhou's mother asked.

"Well, the two deputy directors in our factory are both general managers of Qilin Culture, who have been to Xiangjiang. Now we also strictly determine wages and bonuses according to the plan in Xiangjiang." Zhou Jing said, "Because of the rising prices in the mainland, Qilin Culture's buyout costs have been much higher, and the benefits this year will definitely be better than last year. According to this, we should be able to get more than 2,000 this month."

"It's only 2,000?" Zhou's mother was a little dissatisfied.

Zhou Ya, the fourth sister who was already in college, kept listening, and couldn't help but say, "Mom, your appetite is too big! 2,000 is not much? Our school's special scholarship is only 20 yuan a month! Sister, this is equivalent to the special scholarship for 100 college students! There is no 100 people in our entire school who can get special scholarships!"

In the 1980s, in addition to the fixed payment of 35 kilograms of food coupons every month when you went to school, each school also gave scholarships every month due to the different urban areas. According to the degree of poverty in the students' families, it is divided into special grades, one, two, three, four, and five grades, and everyone has them.

The rural people get more, while the city people usually have the eight yuan and four or five yuan scholarships.

In Shanghai, the monthly salary of interns who just started is only about 30-40 yuan, and they can only get 60 or 80 yuan after a few years of becoming a regular employee. This shows how good the treatment of college students is.

Many rural students tried every means to save the 20 yuan special scholarship and sent it back to poor families.

During school, I could give feedback to my home before I started working. This is something new that only happened in this era.

Therefore, college students of this era are really called the pride of heaven. After they graduate, they allocate jobs. There is no need to worry about anything, and the country will give them all.

When 20 years later, when college students are everywhere, they are really inferior to dogs.

The third and fourth brother of the Zhou family are already from the city of Shanghai, and one sister is still the team leader of the Shanghai factory, so she gets the least amount, only 5 yuan per month.

Because their family became rich, they bought some small things for themselves for the 5 yuan, and their lives were very comfortable.

When Zhou's mother heard her little daughter's joke, she glared at her, "What's 2,000 yuan? When your sister was in Xiangjiang before, she could get 5,000 yuan a month without adding a bonus, but she got 200,000 yuan in two years! Compared to this huge sum, what's 2,000 yuan? A piece of cake!"

"Mom, you can't calculate that way. We are in Shanghai now, not in Xiangjiang." The third brother interrupted, "The prices in Xiangjiang are so expensive and the houses are so expensive. Of course, you can earn more! In Shanghai, how many people can earn 2,000 a month? My sister is very powerful!"

"Barring, don't I know your sister is so good?" Zhou's mother glared at her son and sighed a little, "Speaking of this, if your sister hadn't been for us, how could she have returned to a poor place like Shanghai and Hai? You two, you should respect your sister when you grow up, do you know?"

"I know!"

The two brothers quickly agreed.

Then the third brother ran to her sister's back and started massage her hard.

Zhou Ya also squatted in front of her sister and massaged her legs.

Zhou Jing didn't feel happy laughing.

My mother didn’t know that the reason why she came back was not only because she had to take care of her family, but also because staying here and reuniting with her family could make her feel extremely warm!

It’s not that important to make so much money than family reunion!
