Chapter 744 Returning home in glory
There is an old saying, 'After Laba Festival, it's the New Year.'
In the 1990s, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival was still quite strong.
As schools are on holiday, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival becomes stronger and stronger on the streets, and the workers begin to become restless.
The machinery factory is considered a high-risk industry.
If workers cannot concentrate on their work, accidents are likely to occur.
Seeing that no one was in the mood to work, Su Mingzhe had to announce the suspension of work and production and give everyone a half-month Spring Festival holiday.
During the half-month Spring Festival holiday, there are only three statutory holidays and four weekends, and basic salary will be deducted for the remaining eight days.
However, Su Mingzhe was not so stingy. He did not deduct everyone's basic salary. He also gave everyone some food and cooking oil as welfare, and gave everyone one month's basic salary as a red envelope.
Amid everyone's Spring Festival blessings, the gate of the machinery factory slowly closed.
All the factories were closed, so Su Mingzhe and Zheng Wei took a sweep of the New Year's goods and local specialties on the streets and prepared to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
In this life, Su Mingzhe's hometown is a small county town in Anhui Province.
Both of my parents are public servants.
Besides him, there is a younger brother and a younger sister in the family.
Unlike the diligent and studious Su Mingzhe, his younger brothers and sisters have average academic performance.
The family naturally placed all their hopes on Su Mingzhe, the eldest son.
"Zheng Wei, there is something I need to confess to you first."
As the car got closer and closer to his hometown county, Su Mingzhe knew that he had to have some things discussed with Zheng Wei.
"Confess what?"
Zheng Wei was frightened by her boyfriend's serious tone, her face turned pale, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she forced a smile:
"You don't have a girlfriend or fiancée back home, do you?"
Su Mingzhe didn't expect Zheng Wei to misunderstand him, and quickly comforted her:
"That's not the case. I just want to tell you about some of the situations in my family."
"As long as it's not a gender issue, I can accept whatever the situation is in your family."
After going through the trauma of her parents' divorce, Zheng Wei became extremely sensitive to matters of the heart and no longer cared too much about other things.
Seeing the woman say this, Su Mingzhe simply said:
"Actually, my family's conditions are very ordinary. The money I used to buy the villa and start my own business was all earned by myself. I never told my family members..."
Su Mingzhe chose a set of words and deceived Zheng Wei.
"What's this? Is that all?"
Zheng Wei didn't expect that such a small thing would cause the man to gasp for breath. She almost scared herself to death. She was so angry that she picked up her little hand and hit the man's chest twice.
For her, whether her boyfriend's family is rich or poor does not affect their love.
"Also, my brother is very naughty, and my sister is not one to keep quiet. When you get married, you should be careful to control your status as the eldest sister-in-law... Well, it's best to make alliances and don't let them control you."
Relying on his past life experiences, Su Mingzhe taught Zheng Wei how to deal with family problems.
After hearing this, Zheng Wei naturally nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would never embarrass the man.
As Su Mingzhe's explanation became more and more in-depth, Zheng Wei also gained some understanding of the Su family's situation.
Half an hour later, Su Mingzhe parked his car in front of the largest hotel in the area.
"Aren't you going home first?"
Zheng Wei thought the man was going to do something bad again, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
This man is so frivolous. He is almost home, but he still wants to have some fun.
Su Mingzhe tapped his watch:
"It's only three o'clock now. My parents are both at work at this time. It won't be too late to go back after five o'clock. I need to tell you the purpose of my return this time."
Then Su Mingzhe pulled Zheng Wei into the hotel regardless of how she resisted.
The two came to the hotel front desk, and Su Mingzhe took out their ID cards:
"Beauty, please give me a business room."
The pretty receptionist took the ID cards of the two people and looked at them. She looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, do you have a letter of introduction?"
Su Mingzhe asked in surprise:
"Now, when you stay in a hotel, isn't it enough to just have your ID card?"
The receptionist apologized:
"Sir, you are a local and can check in with your ID card, but this lady is from another province, so she must provide a letter of introduction."
The receptionist took a look and saw that the two people's ID cards showed that they were not of marriageable age, so there was no need to explain anything unnecessary.
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe could only shake his head speechlessly.
It was 1995 and you still couldn’t stay in a hotel with your ID card.
Zheng Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she couldn't check in, and quickly comforted her boyfriend:
"Hubby, let's go home and live. I can sleep with my little sister at night."
"Let's change to another hotel."
Su Mingzhe was naturally unwilling.
Ruan Guan lives in her hometown in Guizhou and is only willing to accompany men to watch a movie. Even if she wants to go to the box to have a meal, Su Mingzhe has to beg her in a soft voice.
Now Zheng Wei has to live at home again and still sleep in the same room with her younger sister.
The problem is that my two identities are now in Guizhou and Anhui provinces, and I have no legitimate reason to look for the obedient Tan Xiaojing and Zhuo Xinyao.
Isn't this forcing yourself to become a monk?
The unwilling man took the woman to a private hotel.
Private hotels don’t have such strict regulations. The waiter only needs to ask for your ID card and then they will open a room for you.
Sure enough, under the market economy, public hotels are not as flexible as private hotels.
It is no wonder that private hotels in later generations are everywhere in the city, while public hotels are deserted.
It's about five o'clock.
It was almost dark.
Su Mingzhe then drove Zheng Wei and slowly drove into the Water Conservancy Bureau's staff quarters. Su Mingzhe's parents both worked at the Water Conservancy Bureau.
As a county town under Anhui Province, 70% of the population are farmers.
The Water Conservancy Bureau, which is closely related to farmers' production, naturally became an important local department.
The staff quarters of the Water Conservancy Bureau are also built at a relatively high level, with a total of six six-story tube-shaped buildings.
Each building has four units. The entire community is home to a total of 270 to 280 households, with a total population of more than 1,000.
When Su Mingzhe drove his Benz into the community, all the men, young and old, who were taking a walk in the community gathered around him.
When Audi was still the standard for luxury cars in the county, the visual impact brought to everyone by a Mercedes-Benz was absolutely unimaginable to future generations.
Su Mingzhe slowly opened the car door and got out of the car first with his shiny leather shoes on.
Then he got out of the car and skillfully greeted the young and old men in the community.
Su Mingzhe has only been gone for half a year, but most people are a little hesitant to recognize him.
It was not until Su Mingzhe took the initiative to speak that everyone gathered around and asked Su Mingzhe how he could drive back such a luxury car.
"All bosses out there are like this. Having a nice car gives you face and makes it easier to negotiate business."
When Su Mingzhe returned to his hometown this time, he positioned himself as a successful big boss.
At this moment, he chatted with everyone for a while, and then asked Zheng Wei to distribute the candies and chocolates that had been prepared long ago to the neighbor children.
When Su Mingzhe's younger brother Su Mingchao and younger sister Su Mengmeng heard the noise and ran down, Hu Touben was already surrounded by neighbors.
Su Mingzhe waited for his younger brothers and sisters to come downstairs before he formally introduced his girlfriend Zheng Wei to everyone.
This world is about 'respecting the clothes first and then the person'.
This is also true between acquaintances.
Because Su Mingzhe came back in a luxury car, Zheng Wei, as his girlfriend, naturally received a lot of compliments and praise from everyone.
Su Mingzhe brought Zheng Wei and said hello to everyone, then asked his younger brothers and sisters to follow him and carry their luggage back home.
At this time, my parents should be off work.
Once you enter the house, there are no outsiders.
Su Mingchao couldn't help but asked again: "Brother, did you really buy that car?"
"Of course I bought it. Don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, let me show you the vehicle registration and driver's license."
Su Mingzhe said this and slammed the ID card on the table.
When her second brother was looking at the vehicle registration and driver's license, the younger sister Su Mengmeng started to worry about her eldest brother:
"Brother, why don't you drive such an expensive car back to our community? What if a neighbor scratches it?"
"It's okay. Just fix it. It'll only cost a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars."
Su Mingzhe laughed heartily, showing his rich and powerful aura.
However, his tycoon-like aura made his younger brother and sister very uncomfortable.
In their impressions, their elder brother is an excellent student who is gentle and courteous.
Just then, there was a noise coming from the stairs.
As the door was opened, Su Mingzhe's parents walked in.
After work, Su Dahai, Su's father, and Xia Li, Su's mother, were stopped by someone before they even returned to the family compound. The person said that their son had made a lot of money outside and bought a luxury car.
The couple had never heard any news from Su Mingzhe, so naturally they didn't believe it at all.
It was not until the couple entered the yard and saw the Benz parked at the door of their unit that they became doubtful and rushed home to get to the bottom of it.
As soon as the couple entered the house, they had a lot of questions to ask. After Su Mingzhe met his parents, he first introduced them to his future daughter-in-law, Zheng Wei.
At this point, Su Dahai and his wife could only suppress their doubts and send the curious neighbors away first.
The family closed the door and then spoke, slowly asking what was going on.
Su Mingzhe was the first to confirm:
“I bought that car.”
Su Dahai widened his eyes and asked:
"Boss, did you win the lottery?"
In Su Dahai's eyes, this is the only possibility for his son to have enough money to buy a good car.
That's buying lottery tickets.
"That's it."
Su Mingzhe's attitude was somewhat casual, and he said it was similar to buying a lottery ticket, both of them were unexpected wins.
"Big brother, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you should save the money you have. Even if you don't save it, you can buy a house. Why buy a car? This car will be scrapped after a few years..."
Su Dahai wanted to teach his son a lesson, but he didn't know where to start.
After all, the unexpected money his son earned was too much.
"I also bought a house, a big villa. As for the car, it's scrapped."
Su Mingzhe's attitude was completely indifferent, and his tone was somewhat arrogant:
"Not only did I buy a car and a house, I also invested in two companies. Now I have 200 employees under me. This time I came back to pick you up and go to Shanghai to enjoy life..."
"Don't go!"
Su Dahai rejected his son's proposal without waiting for his daughter-in-law to speak.
As a traditional parent, Su Dahai thought that he had the hands and feet and a job, so there was no need for his son to support him in his old age at such a young age.
Snapped--
Xia Li slapped her husband fiercely, then said to her son:
"Boss, you are a college student now and you have made money, so just think about your parents. But your parents have jobs at home, so they won't cause trouble for you."
"Dad, Mom, it's impossible for you not to go."
Su Mingzhe saw that his parents did not agree to go with him, but he smiled with a cunning look in his eyes and said:
"Dad, Mom, guess why I'm driving a Hutou worth over a million dollars back home?"
