Chapter 654 655 [The country is so beautiful]

   It is worth mentioning that after Jintan Village was powered on, Xiang Nan bought a complete set of household appliances, electric fans, TV sets, and washing machines for An Minjia and Li Laoshuan's family.

   Refrigerators and air conditioners have not been purchased yet.

   Firstly, there was nothing to eat at home, and there was nothing to put in the refrigerator when I bought it; secondly, the power consumption of the air conditioner was too high, and the two of them were reluctant to use it.

  Li Laoshuan even felt that it was a waste of electricity for the villagers to watch TV at his house, let alone blowing on the air conditioner.

  However, even so, the villagers are still envious. Qi praised Xiang Nan as a good son and son-in-law.

  An's family and Li's family walked with their heads held high and their chests held high when they walked out.

  Even those who brought An Yongshou and An Yongkang to talk about their marriage have crossed the threshold.

  After two more TV sets were installed in the village, the spiritual life of the villagers has also been greatly enriched.

   After dinner, watching TV at Tian Min’s house and Li Laoshuan’s house has become a tacit agreement among the villagers.

  Although Li Laoshuan did not welcome this, but he was a neighbor and fellow, so it was hard for him to say anything.

  …

  In October, Xiangnan's villa was officially renovated.

  Two months later, Xiang Nan and Shui Hua officially moved to their new home.

  After they moved in, the villagers also came to visit curiously.

  As soon as I entered the house, I felt ashamed and had nowhere to go.

  It turns out that the decoration in the house is really beautiful. The floor is inlaid with marble floors, clean and bright; the walls are hung with landscape calligraphy and paintings, which are antique.

  Solid wood furniture, leather sofas, and a variety of household appliances. TVs, VCRs, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, water purifiers, range hoods, microwave ovens, electric ovens... Many of them are the first time the folks have seen them. After hearing about the functions, they are all amazed.

   "Yongfuer, how much would it cost for this house and these electrical appliances?" Li Dayou asked curiously.

   "Probably 150,000 to 60,000." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.

  Actually, he still kept it secret, but the cost of this house is only 200,000 yuan. These electrical appliances are basically imported goods, and the central air conditioner alone is worth 50,000 yuan.

   But to be honest, he was really afraid of scaring everyone, so he made a half discount.

   Even so, the folks were still shocked after hearing this.

  They didn't even say 150,000 to 150,000 to 150,000, they didn't even have 1,500.

   "Oh, it's really too expensive."

   "I'm afraid I won't be able to live in such a beautiful house in my life."

   "Don't say that, you won't be able to afford it in your next life~"

  The folks talked and said that it is not good to stay at Xiang Nan's house. Every time I stay for a while, I feel a stab in my heart.

  …

  After moving to a new home, winter has entered.

  Xiang Nan began to lead the workers to prepare the fruit trees for the winter. Apply base fertilizer early, irrigate before freezing, cover the ground, paint the backbone with white... In addition, the vines need to be covered with soil to keep them warm.

  Fortunately, winter has entered, and the village has also entered the slack season. The villagers happen to be idle and have nothing to do, so they all invite the orchard to help.

  Xiang Nan solved the problem of labor shortage, and the villagers can also earn a little more pocket money, killing two birds with one stone.

  …

  In November, the work in the orchard is almost done.

  Xiang Nan immediately hid at home and started creating with peace of mind.

  Actually, he is very rich now, and the remuneration of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of manuscripts is nothing to him.

  However, Xiang Nan still has no intention of giving up writing.

  The reason is that before the rise of the Internet, writers had the most say.

  Not to mention how Lu Xun, Lao She, and Cao Yu used their works to inspire the morale of the people across the country during the period of the Republic of China.

Even in the 1980s, there was also Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher", which set off a wave of scar literature; Zhang Xianliang's "Half of a Man Is a Woman", leading the whole society to explore the truth of human nature; directly touched the deep water area of ​​​​reform...

  If Xiang Nan does not continue to write, he can only be regarded as a rich man.

  There are a lot of rich people in China. In recent years, there have been a large number of people who got rich first.

  However, not many people have the right to speak.

  Rich people without the right to speak are very vulnerable.

  In "Da Jiang Da He", Yang Xun is so rich, so he can be caught as soon as he says he can. A speculator can make him drink a pot if he commits a crime.

  Xiang Nan knew exactly this, so he would not give up writing.

  He wants to use the pen in his hand to protect the money in his pocket.

   Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large orchard and such a beautiful villa not to attract people's envy.

  …

  Xiang Nan immediately began to write "The Country Is So Beautiful", which is the story of immigrants from Diaozhuang.

   However, the story is written from a hundred years ago.

  Xiang Nan is going to write an epic novel, covering the four periods of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the present.

  Using the difference between the old and new societies and the fate of people, we will praise the Diaozhuang resettlement project and the national poverty alleviation project.

  In order to write this book well, Xiang Nan also referred to Xihaigu’s county annals, Yanxia’s historical research archives, and stories passed down by villagers.

   After collecting all the materials, he began to write.

  At the same time, the An family, the Li family, and Xiang Nan's family also used heating for the first time.

  The radiators, stoves, and loose coal of the Anjia and Li's homes were all bought by Xiang Nan. After the heating is turned on in winter, the temperature in the house can reach 17 or 8 degrees, which is very warm.

   Moreover, hot water can be made on the stove, and it can also be used for cooking.

  In comparison, many folks still live in diwozi, and the temperature is only in single digits. When entering the house, you have to put on the kang and cover the quilt, which can be said to be very difficult.

  However, most of the villagers who have immigrated for a year and a half have already saved a sum of money, and they are thinking about building new houses in the spring of the coming year. At that time, living in an adobe house and burning a kang will be better than living in a nest.

  …

  In addition to writing, Xiang Nan also invested 50 million in the stock market.

  In May 1992, just after he sold his subscription certificates, the mainland stock index reached its peak, and then began to dive all the way. By November 1992, it had fallen from a peak of 1,500 points to 400 points.

   Such a large drop has finally cooled down the stock market that had been booming for a while. The stockholders finally came to their senses, or they were afraid, and cut their flesh to escape one after another.

  So that at the end of 1992, the turnover of the stock market dropped sharply, and the activity of the stock market also dropped sharply.

  But Xiang Nan knows that from November 17th to February 16th of the next year, there will actually be an Xiaoyangchun.

  The stock index will rise from 386 points to 1,558 points. Within three months, the increase will reach 300%.

   So still profitable.

  So Xiang Nan chose to continue investing and continue to use money to make money.

  …

  December, January, day by day.

  During the Spring Festival, the villagers saw the Spring Festival Gala on TV for the first time, and they were so happy that they could barely close their mouths from ear to ear.

   It also made many people firmly believe that in the new year, in addition to building a house, they must also save money to buy a TV. At that time, watching the Spring Festival Gala at your own home will save you from going to other people's homes to be annoying.
