Chapter 169 Early rafters
Jian Anan heard this, and replied to Jian Zhenhua with a smile: "Dad, what you said is too fake. You can't close your mouth while laughing, and you still say this."
Brother-in-law Yang Bin is a smart watcher. He looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "This brand of watch is not cheap. Our section chief has one, and I heard it costs tens of thousands."
"What!" Jian Zhenhua trembled immediately when he heard it, stretched out his hand to look at the watch already on his wrist and said, "How many tens of thousands is this watch worth?"
Yang Bin glanced at it and said, "It's worth at least 40,000 to 50,000!"
"You have too much money and no place to spend it? Hurry up and return this thing, it's lucky that I took it out and didn't hurt it." Jian Zhenhua was a little unhappy. The old man saved his life, let alone tens of thousands of yuan I have never worn a watch worth several thousand yuan.
Jian Heng said: "Here, you can wear it comfortably. Your son will not steal or **** it. He earns it by his skills. Our family will have a wider road in the future. We will not only wear famous watches, When I come back this time, I plan to drive you the entire car that you can order."
Seeing that his father was about to take off the watch on his wrist, Jian Heng immediately pressed his father's hand.
"Dad, your son has over 10,000 acres of land in the United States. If you are filial to you, you should put it on and let the things in the factory take a good look. Our old Jane's family is not down." Jane An An was trying on her coat in front of the mirror at this time, without looking at Jian Zhenhua said happily.
Hearing what his wife said, Yang Bin put the watch on his wrist with peace of mind.
Jian Zhenhua is not very interested in watches, but he is quite interested in cars.
"Buy a car, let me buy a car, son, let me tell you, I've taken a fancy to one..." Jian Zhenhua heard about the car, and couldn't care less about the tens of thousands of watches in his hand, and started chatting with his son.
It turned out that Jian Zhenhua took a fancy to a joint venture car worth more than 100,000 yuan, but after nagging in Sun Xiuying's ear countless times, he couldn't pass it.
Sun Xiuying was trying on her silk scarf. When her wife picked up the car again, her expression changed immediately: "You don't walk two miles outside the house every day. What kind of car did you buy! The electric car can't handle you?"
"You bring this up again. It's been six years since I got my book, and I haven't even seen a car hair. I bought a car and can take you here and there, right?" Jian Zhenhua didn't even hear it. Happy, said with a straight face.
Jian Anan interrupted at this time and said: "Okay, okay, every time you talk about buying a car, you will quarrel, Mom, I said you too, it was a good reason for you to save money to marry your daughter-in-law, but now your son How can you use the little money you saved to marry a daughter-in-law, so you can let my dad buy one, so as not to worry about our family's car all day long."
"Didn't all the money be saved? Like your family, earning one thousand and spending two thousand? What if something happens and you need the money urgently? You can't expect to deduct a little from me." Sun Xiuying said that her daughter prefers her family The old man was very dissatisfied.
Jian Heng smiled and said: "I need to buy a car, but the more important thing is, you two, why don't you just follow me to the United States to live in the United States. At that time, my younger sister will go to school in the United States, so as not to have to participate in the domestic competition. of the college entrance examination".
When came, Jian Heng figured it out, and this time he simply brought his parents to live there.
Jian Zhenhua immediately waved his hands and said: "It's okay to live for a month or two, but long-term stay is fine, your mother and I can't speak English, and we don't know the place where we live, so we can't find someone to chat with. Let's live here. As for how old your sister is now, she went to high school in China, let's talk about other things. Besides, your dad is only in his fifties, and I can still support myself. I don't need you to support me. when".
Sun Xiuying glanced at her old man and said: "You are just willing to part with your gang of cronies, and I don't see them helping you. When you had an accident, you ran faster than rabbits!"
"Who doesn't take care of the family..." Jian Zhenhua said.
Jian Zhenhua hadn't finished speaking when there was a knock at the door.
"Is brother Jane at home?"
"Yes, here we come!" Jian Zhenhua heard this, and immediately ran towards the door with a smile on his face.
As soon as the door opened, Jian Zhen found four or five people standing at the door, all of them were old friends of his family, so he smiled and led them into the house.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Hang...Hello" Jian Heng greeted several people with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Heng is more energetic than when he came last year, and he still supports people in the United States!" Uncle Li, who had already bald, saw Jian Heng as soon as he entered the door, so he replied with a smile.
Talked to Jian Heng, and he focused his eyes on the Mercedes-Benz parked in the yard.
The others naturally caught Jian Heng and praised him, and then they stood in the yard with Jian Zhenhua.
Jian Heng and them have nothing to talk about, not only because they have nothing to talk about, but if it was left in the past, Jian Heng would not bother to talk to them.
Back in the house, Jian Heng teased his sister and little nephew to play, Jian Ningning was quite lively, but his nephew Yang Xiaoan was a bit too honest, not as cheerful as ordinary children.
Old Li, who entered the door, turned his head to look at Jian Heng in the room, and then said to Jian Zhenhua: "I said, Lao Jian, did your Xiaoheng develop in the United States?"
Jian Zhenhua smiled and replied: "What is developed, that is, buying a few acres of land, planting some crops and so on, I didn't expect that I spent my whole life climbing up from the countryside, but this kid climbed back from the city to the countryside ".
"Okay, don't pretend, your family Ningning has already said that my brother built a big house in the United States and bought a large piece of land..." Lao Yin immediately said.
Jian Zhenhua quickly said: "Do you believe what Ning Ning said? He bought the land, but he still owes money to others. It is said to be several million! It is still US dollars."
Children always show off. Jian Ningning and her brother talked on the phone a few times and saw the house under construction. The vanity girl showed off her brother's American beauty to everyone. Of course, the little girl doesn't understand where the **** is, but children, it's always like this, if you have something, you have to show it off.
"It's a skill to be able to owe millions of dollars. Others still want to owe it. Is there such a chance! Let me tell you that my nephew's fourth cousin owes the bank more than 60 million yuan. Now he can't pay it back, and the bank can't pay it back." Make offerings like an ancestor?" Lao Hang said.
At this time, Lao Li said again: "Xiaoheng is promising now, see if you can let him do some work for our brothers, or you can invest some money, you are our old director Now, how old are we? We can’t start resting when we’re in our fifties... How about you take the lead and let’s build a small processing factory or something?”.
When Jian Zhenhua heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't be the master of this matter. My son hasn't been honored by me. How can I be ashamed to reach out and ask my son for money?"
Hearing that these three people brought the topic up to this point, Jian Zhenhua felt a little sick to his stomach, and quickly refused. Jian Zhenhua really didn't have the face to open his mouth to Jian Heng about this matter, because he owed his son something in his heart.
The three of them heard that Jian Zhenhua's rejection was straightforward, and their faces were not so good-looking, as if they were refuted.
Several people stood in the courtyard and chatted for a while, and then left after about ten minutes. Jian Zhenhua sent them all the way to the door, and then turned back.
Sun Xiuying saw the person leaving, and said with a cold face: "What are these **** doing here?"
"It's nothing! I just don't want to watch the excitement," Jian Zhenhua said.
Sun Xiuying said: "Nothing? No one came here eagerly, they didn't want to get my son's idea, you tell them, there is no door!"
Sun Xiuying has such a temperament, what are the few people who come out to the door at a glance thinking, the ugly word is that when these people stick their butts, Sun Xiuying knows what **** they are shitting.
"It's nothing!" Jian Zhenhua said in disbelief.
"Okay, mom, don't argue with my dad. Besides, do you think your son is a fool? I have seen through the heart, liver, spleen and lungs of these people in the factory." Jian Heng smiled and said: "Anyway, the people in the factory, I just meet and nod for friendship with them, nothing else can be discussed, and I'm not his father, so why should I greet them?"
"I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid that this old thing just doesn't have a long memory, remembers to eat but not to fight!" Sun Xiuying rolled her husband's eyes.
"Okay, I'm not a child." Jian Zhenhua was a little annoyed.
This has been said for several years. Ten years ago, the factory was very prosperous. Although it was a state-owned factory, the leadership was very strong. They worked overtime every day, and the products produced were still in short supply. At that time, when I wanted to get goods from the factory, the first was cash, and the second was cash. queue.
At that time, the young men in the county went on blind dates, wearing factory work clothes, which were more supportive than suits.
But the good times didn't last long. With the sudden death of the old factory manager, the factory's sky changed. The county has arranged for a new factory manager to come over. Who knows that this person is not good at production or sales.
Within two years after he became the factory director, a star factory was tortured to death by him. Suddenly the factory became like this, and the workers naturally quit. Everyone changed from more than 7,000 yuan a month to 2,200 yuan. From time to time, they paid back their wages, which naturally caused trouble.
At that time, Jian Zhenhua happened to be the director of the workshop, and he was also the chief director of the core workshop. The old Jane had a good temper and no airs, and he also looked down upon the new factory director, so he was elected as a representative.
When the trouble broke out, the county leaders decided to give money to those who did not cause trouble. After the factory was sold, priority was given to hiring them.
Such a group followed the troublemakers and took the money and went home happily, leaving Jian Zhenhua alone. Soon Jian Zhenhua was labeled as unorganized and undisciplined. Not only did he lose his original administrative rank, but he was also kicked out.
At this time, Director Jian was no longer in the eyes of the workers who received the money. They went home with the subsidy and waited for the county to arrange it. The monthly money is not as much as that of Sun Xiuying, who is an ordinary worker.
