Pamper Eighties

Madam Feng took out all those small snacks for Mengmeng to taste. Her old man brought back too much southern goods this time. At about four or five o'clock yesterday afternoon, they drove several times from outside the mountain. The big liberation car came in, so many goods filled the side rooms of the commissary, and the rest were piled up at home, filling up several side rooms in the house. There are too many things to see.

When it was about noon, Mrs. Feng closed the canteen and took her Mengmeng home for dinner. Su Wan had already prepared her lunch and was waiting at home. There were four dishes and one soup on the table, including Cantonese sausages. , fried shrimp with Chinese cabbage, eggplant with salted fish, baked hare meat, and a pot of fragrant assorted shell soup.

This dish is quite rich. The family sat down and started to eat. Madam Feng first took a piece of Guangzhou sausage, which was very chewy, with a little sweetness in the saltiness. Seeing that Mengmeng was also eating deliciously, he asked her with a smile, "Mengmeng, this is the fresh sausage that your grandfather just brought back from Guangzhou. Do you think it is delicious?"

Mengmeng has her own small tableware in front of her. She eats slowly with a small spoon in her hand. She looks very quiet. When she heard her grandmother ask her something, she immediately raised her head and laughed out a row of millet. Tooth, nodded vigorously and said, "Delicious."

The eldest child and the second child were also sitting next to each other to eat. They used to eat like a starving ghost, but now they know that they have to eat slowly. This is also because the life of the Feng family has changed for the better. A year ago, they were still drinking porridge and eating pickles. After just one year, they are eating better and better, and their nutrition is much better. Even their bodies have become strong. , The body also has meat, and it has grown taller.

Madam Feng looked at their chubby cheeks with satisfaction, thinking of the belly of the third family, she said casually: "The third family is back, she is still pregnant."

The old man Feng was very calm, and he didn't even slow down his actions, as if he could have expected it a long time ago. I understand, you can stop worrying about their family in the future, the third child went to the south with me this time, and I also told him a lot of truth, whether he can live a good life in his family is up to him."

Mrs. Feng glanced at her old man and said, "I know it, I just said it casually. How can I have so much time to take care of their family's troubles."

The old man Feng nodded, and his face began to smile. He said to his old wife, "I bought too much this time. Don't go to the canteen after you finish your meal. Stay at home and help me clean up."

The whole family had finished their lunch, Su Wan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and the others were moved to the side room. The side rooms on the left and right of Feng's house were all full of goods. They came back too late yesterday and were too tired to clean up. Now these goods are still packed in boxes.

When Old Man Feng saw the clothes his family was wearing, he opened one of the boxes first. With a mysterious smile on his face, he took out a lot of clothes from the box, and said proudly, "Look, I'll give it to you. What kind of clothes did you bring? The down jacket imported from Xiangjiang is the most suitable for winter wear. This year, we will not wear this ragged padded jacket for the Chinese New Year. We will all put on this new down jacket for me.

Madam Feng picked up those clothes, looked at each one carefully, and said with admiration: "Hey, Hong Kong's clothes are good, look at these down jackets, it's called this word. Right? How can this material be made so well? It's too soft, and the color is so bright, we can't dye it here, but this clothes is too light, can it be warm? Let's The winter by the sea is still cold, so you can't just look good in this dress."

Old man Feng proudly raised the clothes in his hands and said, "You don't understand that, Hong Kong's down jackets are filled with the rarest feathers, duck down, etc. Anyway, they are very light and very thin. The key is that the effect of keeping warm is much better than the padded jackets here, you don't need to wear other clothes when you put on one, these are for Mengmeng, you can try them on for her."

Mengmeng's pile of little clothes are very beautiful. Madam Feng picked up a pink down jacket casually from the inside, waved her hand and said to Mengmeng: "My dear, grandma help you take off this clothes outside, let's Put on new clothes and see."

Madam Feng hurriedly took off Mengmeng's coat and put on this pink down jacket for her. There was also a circle of fluffy white fur on the collar, which complemented Mengmeng's small face. She is extraordinarily pink and tender, with her black hair, fair face, big watery eyes and small red mouth, her beautiful appearance seems to have been drawn.

The older Mrs. Feng looked, the more satisfied she became, and she picked out a pair of thicker jeans and a pair of lambskin boots for her little granddaughter.

Mrs. Feng looked at her Mengmeng happily, and exclaimed first: "Oh, our Mengmeng is so good-looking, look at this dress, it will immediately become foreign-looking, I can guarantee it is heaven. There is no such fashionable female doll underneath. Putting on this down jacket, we Mengmeng are the most fashionable dolls in Hong Kong. Come on, you can wear this one today, and we will change it tomorrow, so many new clothes are all yours Yes, let's change one suit a day and wear it slowly, and tomorrow grandma will take you out to show off."

Mengmeng looked down at herself, she loved beauty since she was a child, and knew that she was very beautiful. Now wearing this beautiful little dress, her heart is bubbling with beauty, and her big eyes are bent when she smiles. .

The big baby and the second baby also have new clothes, but Mrs. Feng doesn't let them wear them now, and they have to help with packing. If they are too worn, they will get dirty. Just hand them over the clothes and let them pack them by themselves. Well, Dawa and Erwa cherished those new clothes and touched them. So many beautiful new clothes were actually given to them. They were so happy that they almost fainted. They quickly took these clothes back to the room. Put it in and then come out.

Su Wan came to help after washing the dishes. Old Man Feng had already cleared out all the clothes in the box, and the whole family got new clothes. They didn't care about the joy when they heard Old Man Feng say mysteriously, "You wait first. Come on, I'll show you something good."

He walked to the side and opened a large box. He took out a lot of white foam blocks. A square black machine was quietly revealed in front of everyone. A piece of black glass that will reflect light on it.

Madam Feng looked at the machine very puzzled and said, "Old man, what is this thing?"

Feng Yimin was more knowledgeable, but he was stunned, and he called out, "Dad, you bought a TV!"

The whole family was stunned when they reacted. It turned out that this was a TV. They had only heard of it before, but had never seen it with their own eyes. The TV was originally like this, and it was too imposing.

Feng Yimin is also considered knowledgeable, and immediately thought of the key question: "Dad, we don't have a TV tower here. You bought this TV, we can't watch it, right?"

Old Man Feng waved his hand and said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter if there is no TV tower, I didn't buy it to watch TV, I bought it to play video tapes, and I also bought a VCR, I'll show it to you. "

The old man Feng also opened the box next to him. There were also many white foam boards in it. After cleaning the foam boards, a black video recorder was revealed. It looked like a drawer and had many buttons on it. , at first glance is a high-end stuff.

Madam Feng estimated its price in her mind. She couldn't imagine it for a long time, so she asked her old man, "This machine is quite rare. What is a video tape? It costs a lot of money, right?"

Old Man Feng took out a lot of small black boxes from the bottom of the box, and handed them to his family, "Did you see the small pictures on them? This is a videotape from Hong Kong. They are the most popular martial arts films or martial arts films over there. Yes, including this TV and video recorder are also from Hong Kong, they are all machines made in Japan, and just these two machines cost 20,000 yuan."

"Hi!" There was a gasping sound from the Feng family, and their eyes were all rounded. This was too shocking for the wife. What kind of machine is it that it is so expensive to sell? Just dying.

Mrs. Feng immediately complained about her old man: "Old man, are you crazy? This thing is not good to eat or wear. What are you doing when you buy it? Our family made a little money and still paid for it. If you don't have the luxury of it, what are you buying? You have to buy these two broken machines? I ask you, can they be returned to get the money back? It's a waste of time, it really hurts me."

Old Man Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady. I didn't own this machine alone, but I bought it together with Lao Shishi. We didn't buy it for our own use, don't you know? There is a new trend in the south now. We saw it this time. The video hall opened by the southerners, the business in the good guy's is very good. I went to see the old stone. The video hall is a small bungalow inside. Just a TV and a video recorder, it takes about two hours to broadcast a box of video tapes, and a small bungalow can squeeze hundreds of people. Do you know how much each of them charges? A full twenty dollars! You! You heard right, twenty dollars is enough to watch the video for two hours. When the time comes, if you want to stay and watch it, you have to continue to pay. The owner of the video room is still a Hong Konger. I made almost 2,000 yuan, and the speed of making money is not that fast even for robbing a bank. If we also open such a video room in our house, think about it, twenty-four hours a day, we will open it. It takes ten hours, and it only takes two days to get the capital back, and the third day is a net profit.”

Madam Feng was even more shocked in her heart, there is such a profitable thing in the world? She couldn't help but follow her old man's description, thinking about how much money a video studio could make in her heart. There must be a lot, and she couldn't even count them. The more she thought about it, the more beautiful her eyes became. Mosquito incense eyes.

However, Mrs. Feng is a very practical person, she quickly woke up from her sweet dream, and said the doubts in her heart: "Old man, you think too well, spending twenty dollars for two hours? Where would anyone be willing to spend this kind of money? Not to mention our rural areas, how much is the monthly salary of the workers in the city, and this stuff can’t be eaten or worn, and it’s gone after reading it, and still earning 10,000 yuan a day? If I If so, let me spend two yuan to watch the video, I have to think about it carefully."

Old Man Feng didn't care at all, and said with great confidence: "The reason why you say this is because you haven't watched it. Think about it, even in our provincial capital, how many people have seen TV? Cameras? Not to mention video recorders, this thing is a rare thing, and a rare thing is to sell very expensive."

"These videotapes in your hands are all movies made by Hong Kong stars. You must know about movies. It's similar to that tunnel battle. Back then, when the tunnel battle was played, you all have seen that scene. Call a crowd of people, and where the tunnel war goes, you will follow wherever you go. The mountain road here has not been completed before. You climbed the mountain overnight, and you also went to the commune to watch the tunnel war. Have you forgotten all this? already?"

Old Man Feng said with emotion: "This video tape is similar to the tunnel war. It's a movie made by Hong Kong people. These are all new things that everyone has never seen before. We country people must be interested, let alone There are people in the city, and people in the city are definitely willing to spend this kind of money. But the southerners are richer than us, so when I see it, I will charge 15 yuan or 10 yuan, so I don’t worry that no one will come to see it.”

Mrs. Feng heard some meaning from his words and said sharply: "Old man, do you still plan to open this video room to the city? There are only a few people in our family. Yimin and his daughter-in-law are going to work. I'm going to open a canteen, and you have to sell goods too. Where do people come from to see the store? Such an expensive machine has to charge such an expensive price, so I don't worry about handing it over to others."

Old man Feng stopped opening the box, looked at his family and said, "Old Stone and I have already thought about your question. We plan to find a good location in the provincial capital to open a store, and we will open a video room and sell it at the same time. Goods, we used to ride bicycles, and we could carry very few things. This time we have so many goods, how long will we be able to sell only our two old bones? That’s why we decided to open a store in the provincial capital to carry the goods. Move over there too, so that one person is guarding in the video room, and the other person can go out and sell the goods. Besides, the video room will be opened when people are off work, and it will be left for us to sell the goods. There is still a lot of time. We have also chosen the location. It is not far from the Wuqi Machinery Factory. It is surrounded by large factories, and the people living in it are all workers. The workers are the richest and most willing to spend money. Their children are also very rich, so let's make money from these people."

The old lady Feng said with some anxiety: "Then what do you usually do when you eat and sleep? You will live in the provincial capital and won't come back?"

The old man Feng had obviously thought about this question for a long time. He spread his hands and said patiently: "Old Stone and his wife moved in, and let his wife cook the meals. They were there at night. Go home and sleep."

Madam Feng heard him say that she had to come back every day, so she was not so worried. Before she could agree, her eldest son said, "Dad, you are working too hard, and Awan and I can't help you. I'm too busy to ask you two old people to suffer with me, I'm really unfilial."

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Old Man Feng's eyes, and he slowly explained the truth to them: "How hard is it to be able to make money? It is very hard to do any business, and which business can make so much money? If you can do it, I am also willing to do it, you both have serious jobs, the old one is a teacher at school, and a literate person at home is better than anything else, otherwise we will be looked down upon by others just because we are rich."

He pointed at his eldest son and said, "As for you benefiting the people, you should treat this village head well for me. Our family is already the first part of the village. It's a bit too eye-catching. You, the village head, are behind the scenes. Support, no one else dares to provoke our family. This is the case in our rural area. The village chief is the biggest official. If you are taken down by others, will our family's family business be able to be kept? Then Not necessarily, if someone else becomes the village head, and they come to your house every three days to do things, you can't do anything about them, right?"

Of course Feng Yimin understands this principle. He is the village chief. Although he is not even an official, he is very useful in a rural area like them. The big and small matters in the village must pass through his hands, and no one dares to do so. Come to his house to make irresponsible remarks, it seems that he still has to be a good official.

The old man Feng was still there and said with emotion: "I knew that I had brought a little more money before. The TV and video recorder were too expensive, and a set cost 20,000 yuan. Neither Lao Shi and I dared to go it alone. It was negotiated that if a family made 10,000 yuan, how much money they would earn in the future would be divided equally. If I still had money at the time, I would buy another set and open a video room in our village. Although our place is a little remote, the mountain road is already there. It's been repaired. Since our family opened a small shop, many people from outside the mountains are willing to come in to buy things, and they can also stop by us for tourism. If we open a video room in our family, the business will definitely be good, don't ask for two or three. Let’s get back to the original, three to five months can still be repaid.”

After Mrs. Feng listened to his explanation, her mind also turned a corner. She was more active than anyone else in making money. She couldn't help but nodded and said, "Who said no, let's take our American TV for example. Yimin bought the ice drink machine for 1,000 yuan. I thought it was too expensive at the time. Now more than half a year has passed, the machine has already paid for itself, and the rest is a net profit. This business is cost-effective. ."

Old Man Feng also nodded and said, "That's the reason. When Lao Shi and I go to the city to open a video room, we'll see how the effect is. If I make more money, I'll buy another one when I go to the south next time. set."

Having said this, he did not forget to exhort him, "Don't let the people in the village talk about the opening of the video room in our family. The canteen is already enviable, and the video room will make more money. There will be more trouble."

The old lady Feng also warned her grandchildren: "Dad and two, you are not allowed to tell me about the family affairs, and this TV and VCR can't tell me, do you hear me?"

"Understood, we promise not to talk about it." Dawa and Erwa have never watched TV, so they don't have much interest. In their eyes, it's just a black square box. The toy is attracted.

One of the boxes is full of mini cars. The big baby and the second baby are very interested in this thing. They can play without teaching. Put the car on the ground, and it can even run by itself. It's really fun. .

Mengmeng also stared at the car curiously. She was a little scared at first, and tried to hide behind her grandma. Later, she found that the car was nothing to be afraid of. She immediately became interested and ran out. Chasing the car, giggling and laughing, the big baby and the second baby also deliberately teased her. Whenever Mengmeng was about to grab the car, they would remove the car and let Mengmeng keep running. , how can not reach.

Old Man Feng couldn't see it, he glared at Dawa Erwa fiercely and said: "You two stinky boys, don't make your sister run around, cute baby, come to grandpa, grandpa has a more Something fun for you."

Mengmeng ran back obediently, took a small plastic box from her grandfather, and opened it, there was a foreigner with wings, his hair and eyes were similar to that of the American reporter, and the wings on his back were still there. The ground will move one by one, and along with this movement, a burst of wonderful music sounded, as if the sound of ding dong spring water flowing through the heart, making Mengmeng's mouth tilted up and listening to it very fascinated.

When the music stopped, the old man Feng said to her: "Mengmeng, this is a music box, you can hear the music when you open it. Do you like this gift?"

Mengmeng hugged this music box and was reluctant to let go, nodding her head vigorously and saying, "I like it very much."
