Endless Rebirth

The brand-new and beautiful Audi car attracted the attention of the whole village. Firecrackers were lit one after another. The two aunts were busy handing out candies. The two cousins ​​who heard the commotion also ran out and joined the two uncles from the firecrackers. Unload things from the car.

My father personally took the good cigarettes he bought specially to thank the neighbors.Even the thick smoke couldn't resist his red smiling face. Many familiar people couldn't believe that the man in front of them was Chen Qingshan, who they had gambled with before.

After all the things were unloaded, Chen Feng drove the car into the garage of his second uncle's house.Among the three brothers, only the second uncle built a new house last year and left a garage next to the gate, where he usually keeps motorcycles and tricycles.

After parking the car, he returned to the crowd, chatting and laughing with his familiar friends. When it was getting dark and the crowd dispersed, everyone returned home.

The house in Chen Feng's hometown looks very shabby, a one-and-a-half-story brick house with two large bedrooms on the left and right of the hall.The master bedroom is on the right. In addition to a wooden bed, there is a set of shabby sofas and a bulky TV.

The half-sized yard has no walls, so there is always an unpleasant smell in the ditch in front.The kitchen is a small blue brick house built alone in the yard. The large chimney looks very deserted from a distance. There has been no fire in nearly half a year.

As usual, all three families have dinner together on New Year's Eve. Since Chen Feng's family doesn't have a hostess, they usually have dinner with their uncle's family.Of course this time was no exception. After all the New Year goods they bought were placed at the second uncle's house, the father and son took their luggage and went to the house behind.

No one has lived in it for more than half a year, and thick dust has accumulated in the house.The father and son started cleaning the room one by one. After a while of busy work, the room could barely be occupied.I simply didn’t open the kitchen door. I decided to build a new house in the spring anyway, so I ate at my second uncle’s house these days.

It was lively at dinner time.The grandma who went to her parents' house also came back. When she saw Chen Feng's car, she kept smiling. She took Chen Feng's hand and talked a lot.

In Chen's father's generation, he has three direct brothers, ranked by mountains and rivers.Chen Feng’s father’s name is Chen Qingshan.The second uncle is Chen Qingchuan, and the younger uncle is Chen Qinghe.There was originally a Chen Qingliu, but he died in infancy. This matter has been almost forgotten in the past few decades.

The second uncle has a son and a daughter, and the third uncle has two daughters and a son. Both cousins ​​are now in the first year of high school.She is almost two years younger than Chen Feng, her second uncle's cousin is the same age as Chen Feng and is only a few months younger, and her third uncle's family has little sisters.

The women were busy in the kitchen, while the men were chatting in the living room. Father Chen was particularly happy. He took out the certificate of honor and the contract of Star City Real Estate and showed it off in front of his two brothers.I can’t help but feel the importance of reading.

They are still in high school and have accomplished things they never dared to think about. They have a great future.

The two uncles naturally praised him greatly and were proud of their nephew's achievements.But most of the time, Chen's father and his two brothers were talking about building a house, carefully considering everything from bricks to land selection.

Chen Feng was pestered by his younger brothers and sisters, and drove them for a spin. He heard people yelling and screaming along the way, which made his eardrums hurt.A bit dangerous though.But Chen Feng didn't stop him. There were still very few vehicles on the country roads.

Before dinner, the uncles and uncles who had heard the news for a long time also came over, and naturally there was another burst of excitement.Grandpa Chen Feng had four brothers in his generation, and his grandfather ranked second. The four brothers all grew up and got together every year, so it was very lively.

Most people came back late this afternoon after going to the nearest town to buy new year's goods. It had been quite a while when they heard the news.In this way, you came and went until we finished eating, and then we finally dispersed.

There were two aunts at dinner, so Chen Feng naturally didn't need to do anything. He just happened to be lazy. It was a big meal for a big family.

After the meal, after a group of naughty children ran off to play, leaving a group of adults behind, Chen Qingshan talked about something that needed to be agreed upon now: the issue of support.

Grandma is old, so naturally she cannot be overworked. As the eldest son, it is natural for Chen's father to raise the issue of support.However, the support plan still needs to be discussed with the younger brother and sister-in-law.

After all, he had only one thing at the time, and he was away from home all year round without being able to take care of his family.According to his method, he would give half of the alimony, and the remaining half would be divided equally between the two families. The elderly would take turns eating and drinking between the two families, and they would discuss the issue of housing among themselves.

The final agreement reached was to live in the second uncle's house, because the third uncle's house was not easy to live in. The house was old and it was crowded with four or five people, and there was no place to live when grandma was gone.

After the agreement was made, dinner was officially over.

But when leaving, the two uncles hesitantly took Chen Feng to the alley outside and talked about something alone.

"Xiao Feng, uncle is also dissatisfied with you. I really haven't had a good time these days." The second uncle smoked a cigarette and said, "Both children at home are in school, and the tuition fees alone are enough to keep us busy for more than half a year. , and I borrowed some money when building a house, so money is tight. Now that the New Year is here, do you think you can support my second uncle a little bit?"

"Yes, Xiao Feng, look at what kind of life your brother-in-law is living," Chen Feng's brother-in-law said at the side, "You also have to be considerate of our lives. Your father said he wanted to support grandma, but we didn't. My opinion, it’s fine to take care of food and drink, but it’s really stressful to come up with money.”

Being sandwiched between his second uncle and his younger uncle, Chen Feng felt a headache. He asked, "Go ahead and talk to my dad about this. What should you say to a junior like me?"

"Hehe, I just tested your father's intention. He said that the decision-making power is still in your hands. After all, the money is yours." The uncle said with a sly smile.

Chen Feng was completely speechless. What is going on?Is it easy to be a nouveau riche?Relationships just can't get around the idea of ​​relatives borrowing money, right?The same goes for my father, who is really good at hiding from others.

At this moment, he couldn't help but complain about his father in his heart.

But facing two pairs of eager eyes, he really couldn't bear to refuse. He shook his head and paused, saying, "Is it really that difficult?"

"It's really difficult. You don't know the situation at home?" The uncle was the most anxious.He squatted down and said.He is actually the most talented among the brothers. Not only has he passed the chef certificate, but he can also drive a large truck. His current job is to help people drive in a fleet.

"In this case, I have an idea that you will consider after listening to it." Chen Feng organized his words and said, "As for the money, I definitely can't give you more, I can only help you get through this new year."

The second uncle and the younger uncle looked at each other and nodded silently. The money belonged to them.Although everyone is related by blood, their scores are clear, so they naturally have nothing to say.

"However, I can give you two ways to make money." Chen Feng ignored the expressions of the two and said, "Second uncle, do you have an Internet cable at home?"

"Yes. It was opened not long ago." Chen Qingchuan nodded.

"You can't explain clearly, come with me." Chen Feng walked out with a smile.

The two brothers followed soon after.A group of three people came to a guest room. Chen Feng took his laptop and connected to the Internet and asked, "Second uncle, what are you doing recently?"

"Growing tea, my second uncle, I contracted a hilltop in our back mountain the year before last to pick tea to sell. But you know how bad the weather is this year, the loss is not small, otherwise I wouldn't be so shameless as to beg you. "Second uncle said with an ugly face.

"Anyone who asks for or does not ask for anything is a family member. Don't take it seriously." Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "I do have a way to make a fortune, but I don't know if you dare to take action?"

"What kind of money?" the second uncle asked hurriedly, and the younger uncle also moved his mouth.

"That's it." Chen Feng clicked on the web page and moved the computer over.

"Express delivery?" Second uncle asked in surprise.

"That's right. It's express delivery," Chen Feng nodded. "I found out in Star City that our logistics capabilities are very lacking. Apart from the postal service, we don't even have an express delivery company. Now is the opportunity. We just need to get the agency right. You can control the express delivery within Xingcheng County."

"This...can we do it? I have never done this before, so I have no experience. And the agency will cost a lot of money, right?" the second uncle said hesitantly.This is a common phenomenon among rural people. They always feel unconfident, especially when facing new or unfamiliar things.

"And there's me, Uncle Second!" Chen Feng explained, "It's not difficult to win the agency rights, especially this kind of county-level agency rights. The express headquarters usually sells the provincial-level agency rights to future generations. It is decentralized layer by layer, and as long as you pay the franchise fee, you can get the corresponding agency authority.”

Next, Chen Feng spent a lot of time explaining to his second uncle what was going on, from how to obtain the agency rights to the operation of the express company, the corresponding profit methods, and the approximate amount of profit, all explained one by one. clearly.

"Can you really make money by doing express delivery?" The second uncle looked at Chen Feng with wide eyes and asked. Not to mention, even the younger uncle standing aside also looked at Chen Feng with a look of excitement.

"This is mainly because there is no courier company in Star City now. If you make the move, you will be the first one. You say whether you make money or not. If you don't want to do it anymore, you can make a lot of money just from the agency rights transfer fee." Chen Feng was talking about dry mouth. The tongue is dry, "Besides, there is no rule that you can only take the agency right of one express company. What about YTO, ZTO, STO, Yunda, SF Express, etc. As long as it is an express company, we will take the agency right of Xingcheng together. This Isn’t it enough?”

"As for the money, I can lend it to you first." Chen Feng saw that his second uncle was a little moved and said, "The company doesn't need to be big, but the agency fee is more. For the rest, you just need to find a house that is not too small, even if It doesn’t matter if it’s in a remote location. Not only that, my aunt can also come to help, and it doesn’t cost much to recruit people.”

"That's a good note. Second brother, please think about it carefully." My uncle has been running outside all year round. He has seen a lot and his head can move quickly. He immediately understood that there is a lot of controllability here and supported it.

"I have to discuss this matter with your second aunt. After all, if you really invest in it, you will have to live in the county. What will you do with the two children?" the second uncle hesitated.

"The children's affairs are easy to handle. It's winter vacation. When school starts, I will just find someone to help them transfer to No. [-] Middle School." Chen Feng said, "Second uncle, this is a rare opportunity. When others react, you can do it." I can’t drink anymore.”

"So...did it?"

"Done!"

Chen Feng and his uncle nodded almost at the same time.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with your aunt right now." The second uncle couldn't sit still for a moment and ran out quickly. He came in again after a while and said, "I almost forgot, there is the third child, what should he do? ?”

"Don't worry, I have arrangements." Chen Feng looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, are you a master now? Why can't you make money?"

Speaking of this, his uncle also felt depressed for a while and said, "You don't know, Xiaofeng, I join the team and work with others. Because I don't have a car, I am at a disadvantage. The big truck consumes fuel and goes back and forth." It costs a lot of money to run for a day, and if we split it equally between the two of us, we won’t lose anything at all.”

"Not only that, those bosses like credit. What they have in their hands throughout the year is not money, but bills. Come and ask for them. No one supports you. If you don't get enough, you may not be able to survive next year, so you can't live in this year. It’s getting more and more difficult.”

"In this case, then stop driving." Chen Feng changed the topic, "Have you lost your cooking skills? Are you still coming to help people cook?"

For weddings and weddings in the village, chefs are invited to come and prepare banquets. Because my uncle is good at cooking and has strong abilities, he is very popular in several nearby villages.

"Of course, if it weren't for the help of this craft, my life would have been difficult."

"That's good. Let me ask you, do you want to continue driving or become a chef?" Chen Feng asked.

"It doesn't make any difference. Driving is tiring, and it's not easy for a chef. Wherever you can make money, just go there. Xiaofeng, is there any way?" the uncle asked with his eyes shining.

"That's right," Chen Feng nodded, "You know Star City No. [-] Middle School, right? I want you to take over the canteen of No. [-] Middle School and cook for the students in the school."

"This doesn't seem to be easy." The uncle frowned and said, "The cafeteria in No. [-] Middle School already has an owner. I heard that he is a Yankee. He seems to have some relationship with the owner who built the cafeteria."

"As long as you are capable and willing to do it, none of this will be a problem." In order to reassure his uncle, Chen Feng said, "The principal and I are very familiar with each other, and I will certainly be willing to talk about this matter. The most important thing is that the person who built the canteen The boss has run away and his company has changed hands, so it won’t be difficult to take over the canteen.”

That's right, the cafeteria in No. [-] Middle School was invested and built by Jinyang Real Estate. The so-called cafeteria owner was actually an acquaintance of Dong Jian, not even a relative, because the cafeteria was contracted out and the school was not qualified to manage or intervene.

It's different now, Chen Feng can completely replace him.

"But I have to make it clear to you," Chen Feng said with a serious face. "When cooking in the canteen, you must pay attention to hygiene. After all, it is for children. You can't be careless in this aspect. Besides, if you treat the canteen It’s reserved, my cousins ​​will definitely be studying there, you can’t let them eat unclean food.”

"Don't worry, I understand this." The uncle nodded. (To be continued.)
