Chapter 1 This life and another life(1/2)
On August 8th, Guangzhou was scorching, and the forecast was 31 degrees, but it felt like it was at least 35 degrees up.
This is the traditional off-season. In the electromechanical market, the passages that used to fill up various vehicles were empty. After lunch, people in various shops either took a nap behind the table or lie in front of the computer to play games. They would not come to business until the afternoon.
Feng Yiping opened the warehouse delivery order and took out two pieces of white sand and Shangpinlan from the filing cabinet. He wanted to give it to the warehouse manager of the company. He put it in a black plastic bag and stuffed it into the bag. He greeted Wenhui, the nephew who was playing Landlord on the computer, and boarded the silver-gray SRX parked at the door of the store.
As soon as he started the car, Liu Yugui, a native of Taizhou who bought accessories in the store next to him, came over and took the passenger car window to look in, "Tsk tsk, this new car is different, diamond cutting, it's not bad!"
Feng Yiping leaned on the seat, wrapped his hands together, and said with a smile, "It's not bad!"
Liu Yugui opened the car door and sat on the passenger seat, thrusting around, "This seat is also comfortable."
"It's not as elegant as your brother's Q7, but it's much better than your pickup truck. Who told you not to change the car? Just your pickup truck will have a lot of repair costs per month! Otherwise, I'll give you the phone number sold by the 4S store first, beautiful girl!"
"Tsk, will you introduce me to a beautiful girl?"
The two neighbors have been around for many years and have no competition in business, but they have complementary relationships, so they have a very good relationship. The two are similar in age, both at the age of thirty, and they usually speak casually.
Feng Yiping knew Liu Yugui's purpose, "I told Manager Wang of their company last time that the supporting high-pressure pipes will definitely be used as long as the price is appropriate. Anyway, the goods are delivered to the warehouse today, and I always have to say hello to his office and I will ask again. Besides, after the payment is due next week, I will inevitably ask him to come out and sit. You can go with me, okay!"
This time, Feng Yiping finally got a big order. A group company built a new factory project. All the pneumatic tools were purchased from him. The total number of various pneumatic tools was nearly 2,000,000. The order of more than 800,000 was the largest order in the off-season in these years. Therefore, this year is also the best year for business in the off-season in these years. After purchasing pneumatic tools, the supporting high-pressure pipes are of course indispensable. Liu Yugui was always thinking about it after learning the news.
Liu Yugui patted his shoulder, "Thank you! You are busy today, call Zhang Yan and Xiao Cheng tomorrow, and I will treat you to dinner."
Feng Yiping slapped his hand away, "I'll go, can you not be so hypocritical? You know I'll take them to Shenzhen to have fun tomorrow!"
Liu Yugui was still suddenly enlightened, but Feng Yiping was angrily driven out of the car.
We walked around to the last row of the market, and then passed a small bridge to the centrally built warehouse. During this period, there were not many people delivering goods, and only a few warehouses had doors open.
At No. 28, Area A, a long trailer with an AH license plate was parked in the middle of the road. Several porters were unloading the truck, some were loaded directly onto the light truck next to it, and some were unloaded directly to the warehouse. Feng Yiping looked over from a distance. Sure enough, his father, who was in his 70s, was wearing a blue coat and stood behind the light truck, and handed the pneumatic tools one by one to the truck.
Feng Yiping hurriedly ran over, took off his father's coat, put it on himself, and said, "Dad, you're still asking them to arrange it in the warehouse, and put it in place without sorting it out, and then you have to spend a lot of effort to sort it out."
Feng Zhenchang was still about to speak, but Feng Yiping pushed him into the warehouse. He really needed someone to give him guidance. There were more than 400 items arriving this time, and there were eight specifications. If you don’t say that, those porters don’t care about that many, and they just piled them together for you.
Here, another nephew, Wenhui's brother Wenhua, stood on the light truck and placed the tools to be sent up one by one, at least three floors, otherwise they would not be given out twice.
Seeing that his face was covered in sweat, Feng Yiping went up to replace him, "You go and hand it over first, I'll pretend."
This is the case in summer. The forecast is 31 degrees. If you stay in a shaded place, you may be less than 30 degrees. But like Feng Yiping is now, you feel that you are at least thirty-four or five degrees when you are moving things under the sun.
Usually, there is no such thing as today. The manufacturer directly carries over. No matter how much cargo is, it is through the consignment department. The consignment department takes the porter itself, and you can move wherever you ask him to move. This time, because this company is anxious, the JS supplier is asked to send it directly to the car. Of course, the work attitude of the porter who is called temporarily outside is not as good as the one brought by the consignment department.
Seeing Feng Yiping standing in the car, Feng Zhenchang gave him a towel, but it was useless. Since he pulled grass in the soybean fields on the mountain during the summer vacation of junior high school, Feng Yiping once again realized what it means to sweat like rain and he didn't have time to wipe it. The sweat he had in such a while was more than he had sweated in the tennis court in the past few months. The pneumatic tools were not heavy in the goods he operated, and this one was only about 30 kilograms, but it was quite difficult to move more and move faster.
After more than twenty minutes, the last row could be filled with another one. Feng Yiping took the pneumatic wrench in Wenhua's hand and was about to put it on with force. His heart stinged and was very short. His body shook and was about to calm down when another burst came, and his eyes turned black and he fell backwards with the box in his arms.
After Wenhua handed the box to his uncle, he went straight to the cab to take out a hemp rope and was about to tie the car. Suddenly, he heard a "bang" sound from behind the car. The unloader ran to this side. He felt something was wrong, so he threw the rope and ran behind the car.
Only saw the group of porters forming a circle. Feng Yiping was lying on the ground, his eyes closed and his face pale. A porter was moving the box pressing against him. Feng Zhenchang picked up his son's head and kept pressing against him. He hurriedly squeezed over and shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Let the middle be breathable!
”
…………
In August 1992, at the foot of the Dabie Mountains, on the mountain behind the Feng family Chongwu.
Feng Yiping was holding a straw hat, wearing a yellow sweatshirt, blue trousers, a pair of old liberation shoes on his feet, and a piece of plastic paper under his butt. He sat on the stone under a pine tree, staring at the scalper not far away in a daze.
He has been doing this for several days. At first, Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping thought he was sick, so they called the barefoot doctor in the village to see him and said that it was okay, so it would be fine, and they told him to do whatever he should do.
Children in rural areas have something to do during the winter and summer vacations. Feng Yiping's family and two other families raise a cow together. In addition to sowing and autumn seeds every year, each family has to take care of them for more than three months. Feng Yiping's family shifts the time they take care of either to summer vacation or winter vacation.
For children like Feng Yiping and others who have not grown up and have little strength on their hands and shoulders, fighting pigs, shed cattle and sheep, and going home early to cook the rice is their duty. Relatively speaking, these things are very easy to live.
It was very hot. Now, he stayed under the shade of trees, and there was a breeze passing by the mountains from time to time, and he sat still. Even so, it was still very hot and sweaty.
The key is that he was also irritated. He has been confused since he woke up the day before yesterday. He has watched "Inception" and after waking up, he has been wondering if this is also a dream, a deep dream? So it feels like it will take a long time?
It’s not his fault. Although time-traveling novels emerge in a lot, and time-traveling TV series and movies continue to follow one after another, when he truly experiences all this, who can’t doubt it?
From 2014 to 1992, a full 22 years. In 2014, my son was in the first grade. Now, I have just graduated from elementary school and I have gone to junior high school after this summer vacation.
More than 20 years have passed, and he has no impression of many things at all. Now he often meets people in the walls and feels very familiar, but he just can't remember what he is called and what he should call him.
On the opposite mountain, the second uncle took his cousin and scattered the cows and calves aside. The two of them cut down the thatch and shrubs on the mountain and dried them there. At most, three or five days, they would dry them and then pick them up in bundles, which were much better than straw and leaves.
His thoughts were very scattered and jumped very quickly. In 1992, he was 12 years old this year. In this way, his wife Zhang Yan was 9 years old at this time. Wouldn't he still be in elementary school in the next county? Haha, then Zhang Yan must be very cute at this time. He knew that Zhang Yan was still chubby until junior high school. Oh, what would Zhang Yan be in the current state in 2014? And his naughty son Feng Cheng, and his parents? Oh, his parents are fine, and their parents are in the lower wall. But now, their parents are and their parents at that time? Alas, it's a bit messy.
There are also the Wenhua and Wenhui brothers, both of whom were helping in the store, but when he drove the cow out of the bullpen this morning, Wenhua led Wenhui, and the two snot-nosed kids were clamoring to go to the mountain with him to play.
It is not clear what happened to him in 2014? This should be the scope of time. Maybe Hawking can explain it clearly? He couldn't understand it.
He certainly didn't have a heart attack. The first time he felt the short sting of his heart was on a Sunday in the first grade of junior high school. He had to return to school in the afternoon and wait for the classmates in the wall to leave together. After packing up his things, he took a nap. After sleeping for a few minutes, he felt the stinging pain in his heart. He screamed out, which alarmed his mother in the kitchen. In fact, when he screamed, it no longer hurt. His parents were still worried and went to the town hospital to shoot an video, but they didn't see any problems. Later, after arriving in Guangzhou, he had an intermittent pain once or twice. After quitting an expert number, he couldn't see anything. He analyzed that it might be sub-health. When SH participated in the Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, he went to Huashan Hospital in Fudan to see it, and there was no problem.
So he was very resistant. In August 2014, he might, maybe, or... well, a possibility of dying.
If I had been in 14 years, I was really like that, or if I had a sense of consciousness left the body and became a vegetable, then what should I do if my wife, children and parents at that time?
Fortunately, his business cannot be said to be good, but he does well in other aspects, mainly the house. In 2003, he decided to go to Guangzhou to do mechanical and electrical business, and both quit his job at ZJ. When he first came to Guangzhou from ZJ, he didn't think about buying a house. One had no money, and the other felt that he couldn't afford it.
Who knew that when I went to rent a house, I saw that the house listed was only 80 square meters, which cost less than 300,000 yuan and less than 4,000 yuan per square meter. It was not as high as a town in Wenzhou!
You know, the economy here is not worse than ZJ, and it is a provincial capital city at least. No matter what, the house prices in the future should not be lower than those in your town, and the appreciation potential is definitely good.
He and Zhang Yan looked around. Not far from the warehouse to rent, there was a property that was under construction and could be moved in the middle of the year. It was on the edge of the city. Although it seemed not far from Foshan, it was cheap! A big red banner on the exterior wall said "Buy two houses for 30,000 yuan." When they went in, they saw that the 82-square-meter two-bedroom apartment was less than 280,000 yuan. Although it was 6 households on one elevator, there were two balconies and both bedrooms with bay windows. The lighting was good and the orientation was good. So buy it!
Unexpectedly, the little girl who sold the house was really good-mouthed, which made Feng Yiping, a salesperson who also relied on his words, feels that the housing prices will definitely rise, just the problem of more and less rising, the rapid rise and slow rise. The input-output of the mechanical and electrical business you are preparing to do may not be as good as this. So, buy two sets, pay 30% down payment, and spend nearly half of the start-up capital that you have pieced together.
Speaking of which, they are also a blessing for SARS. After SARS, all walks of life have lost all their worries, especially in Guangzhou, where housing prices fell to the bottom in 2003.
They are lucky. Since 2004, the housing prices in Guangzhou have entered an upward channel. At the first Guangzhou Real Estate Summit held in January, eight major developers joined forces to raise housing prices. Real estate tycoons claimed one by one at the summit that housing prices would rise. Then in 2004, the housing prices in Guangzhou rose by nearly 20% year-on-year, and for seven consecutive years, it was not until the central government strictly regulated purchase restrictions in 2010 that the upward momentum gradually slowed down.
However, this unintentional move to plant willows has a very good effect. By 2014, the listing price of second-hand houses in the same community had reached more than 10,000 yuan, which had nearly quadrupled. It was really easier than he had worked hard to do business.
After tasting the sweetness, in 2007, after their son was born, they bought another large, 130 square meters three-bedroom apartment next to the electromechanical market, and both of them were rented out. In 2008, they took their parents to YN for a trip. Because they tasted the sweetness, they did not forget to care about the local real estate while traveling.
Later, I went there four times in total and offered another villa next to Kunming Expo Park. This is the most profitable investment at present and has allowed them to live a tight life for several years. But when they were sold in the mid-2014 years, it was more than 8 million, which has more than doubled. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pay for the SRX of 600,000 to 700,000.
In this way, deposits, stocks, funds, financial products, and real estate are at least eight digits. A mechanical and electrical business department, plus two bakeries opened by Zhang Yan, earnings a year of around hundreds of thousands. Of course, those business tycoons at that time could start a bet of one billion, so they naturally couldn't catch up with this, but it was still okay to support their parents and raise their children and grow up.
Thinking of this, he finally felt better.
Let me talk about myself, I am also a little brat now, just 1.56 meters tall, only a little taller than the cow. Oh no, if the cow raises his head and adds the pair of horns, he is not as tall as the cow.
However, some things cannot be bought back at no cost. Now he has no white hair, no bags in his eyes, and no small belly... Although he is thin, his whole body is full of vitality.
He analyzed from a business perspective that something really happened, or that he became a vegetable, that should be a slight look and everything would be over. Now, he is really rejuvenated.
This is profit, and this cannot be described as a big profit, it can only be said to be a miracle!
For him, who has more than 30 years of experience, being young means wealth; being young means infinite possibilities; being young means everything.
He used to be like this. If he really can't figure out some things, he is not sure about them, but he can still accept the worst consequences that may occur. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to face them calmly!
Since that's the case, what else is there to worry about?
The scalper is pretty well-behaved. He is wandering around here. He has been staying in the valley and eating grass. His belly is now very round. His cousin Dongming on the opposite mountain called him to go home together.
He picked up the plastic paper belt and put on a straw hat, let the cow walk in front, and slowly walked back.
For rural children, this road is very ordinary and it is easy to walk empty-handed. After descending the hillside here and passing the small river, there is a slope seven or eight meters high in front of it. It is a big stone with some cracks in the middle that can be settled. Next to the cracks, some small pits were chiseled out many years ago. As a supplement, these pits are not big, and adults can put down most of the soles of their feet.
The cow, especially the old ox who is used to walking this road, is still a little scared. He often raises his front hooves in the middle of the road, and hesitates to put them down. The second uncle and Dongming put the two loads of firewood he carried on the ground and pulled the two cows from his family, so that they would not let them rob.
The second uncle also told Feng Yiping, "Don't drive it, it knows how to leave by itself."
Feng Yiping is also an experienced cowherd, so he naturally knows it.
After a while of patrol, the scalper finally easily climbed the big stone slope. It was good to go up the slope. Although it was still a slope behind it, it was a soil slope and it was very spacious.
After climbing this slope, you will reach the valley. Now there are vegetable gardens on both sides of the road. Walking forward for a while is Feng Jiachong.
Feng Jiachong is the largest wall in Fengjiafan Village. It is sandwiched between three mountains. All the residents have their surnames Feng, so they are named Feng Jiachong.
The entire village is built along the mountain, with houses next to houses, lined up one after another. Most of the houses are earthen brick and tile houses, and a few are blue brick and tile houses. There are some carvings under the eaves and some murals, but they are now blurred.
Behind the rooms and houses, there were all full of them, either pigpens or piles of firewood, as well as some farm tools placed outside, and many farm tools. Feng Yiping didn't know its official title.
It was already past 6 o'clock, and smoke was coming from the chimneys of every house. Walking outside the house, you could hear the "sharp" sound of oil pouring into the pot, the sound of the spatula scraping on the iron pot, and the aroma also came.
On the pile of firewood, some chickens were unwilling to enter the cage, so they jumped on top and clamored. Under the pile of firewood, children were chasing each other and playing. In the pigpen next to them, the pigs always ate earlier than people. At this time, they wagged their tails and were eating, making satisfying hums from time to time.
Feng Yiping drove the cow through the entire wall. His cow pen was built by a pond in front of the wall. Along the way, he kept saying hello to the people he saw, always saying a few words, "Uncle Xi, you're back."
He said, "I'm back, have you eaten?"
Yes, many people call him Uncle Xi, but there is no way. The countryside is concerned with seniority. In the entire Fengjiafan Village, there is only one small wall with the surname Sun, and the others are all Feng. Feng Yiping's father and brothers have the highest seniority. Except for his father, uncle and uncle, Feng Yiping's cousins are the second largest. The eldest brother in his 70s in the next house sometimes jokes and calls him Uncle Xi, so when he sees adults, he calls his brother and sister. By generation, there are many children in the wall now all his great-grandchildren.
Feng Yiping is the youngest among his cousins, and his second-last cousin is nearly 10 years older than him. Some people in the village mention this and often joke that when Feng Yiping is 80 years old, he will be the living ancestor in the village. Indeed, by that time, he is probably the only one left in their generation. Now, by generation, his great-grandson will definitely have grandsons at that time. So what is he who is not a living ancestor?
He led the cow to drink water under the electric pole by the pond. There were already many people on the threshing farm by the pond. Adults and children were holding bowls and standing on the field to eat. While eating, chatting about family matters. The loud-sounding woman stood at the door and shouted loudly, "I've been crazy there, why don't I come back to eat?"
Many chickens were pecking on the field before they were cages. They had just beaten rice and some millet fell into it. There were also several dogs lying on the sidelines, sticking their tongues hot.
Looking at such a scene, Feng Yiping felt familiar and far away. Such a lively scene was only in the last few years. A few years later, young people went out to work, and the village was more lively during the Spring Festival, but dozens of people gathered in the threshing farm every day, even during the Spring Festival, it was rare.
On a rainy day, the cow from Dongming's family was fired once by the leakage of the steel wire that fixed the electric pole. From then on, he never dared to drink water here and consciously went to the other side.
Dongming asked him, "Where will you go to herd cattle tomorrow?"
Feng Yiping said, "Yes, there are still a lot of grass there."
"Then let's go together tomorrow."
To be continued...
