On the first day of the winter vacation, Zhou Linghua called.

"Xiaozi, I wish you an early year."

Zhou Linghua is very good at doing things and said: "According to the agreement, I will transfer the dividends this time to your account. Linghua's development cannot be separated from you! I really want to hire you as a technical director in our company with a high salary. "

It is the tradition of the people of Xia to finish all the things of the year before the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, Zhou Linghua can make a difference in other people's money, but definitely not Chen Xiao's money. Chen Xiao is the biggest backer of Linghua company now.

"You're welcome! President Zhou!"

Zhou Linghua gave a hearty smile and said, "Let's not talk about this, the two of us. The mobile phone is still easy to use. The phone is open and the call company will reimburse you."

Zhou Linghua did this in the hope that he could have a good relationship with Chen Xiao.

After all, according to Chen Xiao's current level, you can't know how high his upper limit is.

"You're welcome, President Zhou." After Chen Xiao and Zhou Linghua exchanged greetings, they hung up the phone.

At ten in the afternoon, Chen Xiao went to the bank to check accounts.

His current bank card is called the Zodiac Card. It was opened in the account book when he was a sophomore in high school with the support of his parents. The purpose is to save the New Year's money.

The balance on the account is 53,200.

good guy!

Except for the dozens of dollars on the card, which was Chen Xiao's New Year's savings over the years, everything else on the card was Zhou Linghua's dividends during this period.

Chen Xiao also doesn't need to check the account, he can check the bill with Wang Xiang after turning over the New Year.

More than 50,000 yuan is a lot of money in this era.

Jiangcheng is a third-tier city. In 2000, the housing prices of the first batch of commercial housing were only over 1,000 per flat.

This money can buy a small house in Jiangcheng, and this money is equal to the total income of Chen Qiang and Lin Hui for two or three years.

Chen Xiao directly took out 2,000 yuan to buy some Chinese New Year gifts for Chen Qiang and Lin Hui.

Chen Xiao bought two bottles of Maotai and a Huazi for Chen Qiang, and a gold necklace and high-end skin care products for Lin Hui.

Moutai in 2000 was only 290 yuan a bottle, which is really cheap!

Chen Xiao wondered in a wicked way, did he find a way to make a fortune, buy a few pieces of Moutai, put them there, and take them out twenty years later.

After all, young people don't know the fragrance of liquor, so they filled the warehouse with technology by mistake.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Hui and Chen Qiang got up early and started to prepare lunch at noon and New Year's Eve dinner at night.

Today, the three sisters of the Chen family will be in the Chen Qiang family reunion year.

The old Chen family has three siblings.

The eldest sister, Chen Mei, is a full-time wife, and her husband, Zhou Hongbing, started out as a carpenter. Now she is a small labor subcontractor in Jiangzhou, the provincial capital, and her family is relatively well-off. After graduating from high school, her son, Zhou Tao, went to the construction site with his father and talked about it. A girlfriend who works in a bank in the city is getting married this year on National Day.

The third brother, Chen Jian, is considered a carp jumping into the dragon gate after he supported him to study with the strength of the whole family. After graduating from college, he was assigned to the Jiangzhou Construction Bureau. Now he is a section chief. His wife, Sun Yan, is a language teacher in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. His daughter, Chen Ping He is about the same age as Chen Xiao. He studied in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School and was also a senior in high school.

If it is just the three brothers and sisters of the old Chen family, then the relationship is nothing to say, after all, they were brought up by a mother.

At the beginning, Chen Jian's academic performance was good, but the family conditions were very poor. Only Chen Mei and Chen Qiang went out to do farm work early to provide for a student. How could such a sister relationship be bad?

But now that they have settled down after all, every small family has its own ideas, and the older generation has passed away, and some discord will happen.

The source of the conflict is the family room of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory.

The family room is not spacious, with two sets, more than 70 square meters, and it is not worth much.

The most important thing is that Chen Jian works in the Jiangzhou Construction Bureau. There is definite news that the Jiangcheng Machinery Factory will be demolished, and the compensation will be one to three. Now the three families have their own ideas.

In 1998, commercial housing reform and urban infrastructure construction began across the country, and Jiangcheng City was not far behind.

The location of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory's area is in the center of Jiangcheng. It is very disgusting to stick to Jiangcheng's heart like a dog-skin plaster.

If Jiangcheng wanted to develop further, it would either relocate its administrative functions, teaching and medical resources, or demolish the family area of ??Jiangcheng Machinery Factory.

Obviously, the last option is more cost-effective.

Therefore, the demolition of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory's area should be a matter of this year.

The eldest sister Chen Mei is married well, and Zhou Hongbing will look for money. Because of the support of his brother and sister, Chen Jian was also able to get a better job after studying at university.

Therefore, in order to compensate Chen Qiang and support the weakest one, Chen Qiang's father asked Chen Qiang to work at Jiangcheng Machinery Factory, and left the small house to Chen Qiang.

It’s okay not to be demolished. Once demolished, the eldest sister and sister-in-law have different opinions.

The three families were a little unhappy about this.

At noon, Chen Mei, Zhou Hongbing, and Zhou Ping's family came by Zhou Hongbing's Santana.

As the first batch of upstart contractors, Zhou Hongbing is also one of the first to buy cars in Jiangyang Province.

Being able to drive the Santana is already amazing!

Chen Jian's family came by bus. Although he was the section chief of the Construction Bureau, Chen Jian's conditions were not enough to buy a car.

"Chen Xiao, ah, I haven't seen you for so long, and I've grown taller again!" Chen Mei came down with a gift.

"That's right, boys who are 17 or 18 are willing to grow!" Sun Yan said with a smile in her fancy dress.

It can be clearly seen from the dress that these two families are from the city, while Lin Hui is dressed as a countryman.

Chen Xiao was very polite and greeted one by one.

Lin Hui wiped her hands on the apron and said, "I've come here to bring something."

Sun Yan's voice was a little sharp, "Isn't this the New Year, why don't you bring anything."

Chen Xiao looked at the gifts brought by his aunt and uncle's family—I don't know what brand of wine, the copycat version of Wangwang's "Wangwang Big Gift Bag", and the tea leaves whose shells have turned yellowIs there any more? I don't know if any product is marked with health care products that will kill people.

Well, it's a nice gift.

I don't know how long these gifts have been in their house, and it took a few hands to come to Chen Xiao's house.

Especially the tea and health products, I am afraid they have expired.

People are very realistic.

If Chen Qiang was the CEO of the company or the director of that bureau, the gifts brought today would definitely be Wuliangye and the best Mao Feng.

It is a pity that Chen Qiang is not just an ordinary factory worker, so he is regarded as a trash can.

Zhou Hongbing also pretended to be angry and said, "Brothers and sisters, they are all one family, so you're welcome! Zhou Tao, hurry up and help aunt carry things in."

Zhou Tao looked at Chen Xiao and greeted him with a smile, "Okay, happy new year, auntie, you've grown taller!"

The elders have quarrels between the elders, but the relationship between the three Chen Xiao brothers and sisters is not bad.

Chen Xiao greeted warmly, "Hello brother Tao! Hello sister-in-law! Hello sister!"

However, Zhou Tao's girlfriend and prospective daughter-in-law Chen Ling looked at the somewhat dirty residential environment and the outdated family area, and some did not want to come in.

Zhou Tao shouted: "What are you still doing, hurry in, it's very cold outside."

Chen Ling walked in awkwardly.

While the adults were talking outside, Chen Xiao pulled Zhou Ping and Zhou Tao into his bedroom and played Pro Evolution Soccer 3 together.

The computer performance given by Zhou Linghua is quite good in this era!

Zhou Ping saw that Chen Xiao actually had a computer, and said suspiciously and a little jealously: "Xiaozi, your family just bought a computer!"

Zhou Ping thought about it for a long time, but his father was reluctant to buy it. After all, it cost more than 10,000 yuan.
