Chapter VII The History of the Family
"Oh, then counting this, you guys are also kids? How about friendship?" Tang Hongye also spoke up and asked the young man.
"It was okay before, kids are about the same age, so they usually play and play and make fun of each other, but they don't really affect their friendship. No, that kind of friendship between children is actually not a kind of friendship. I am not particularly good at playing with him, so I can only live with him. He doesn't seem to have a good relationship with us, but they are almost the same as me." The young man said lightly, but from his expression and tone, he could still hear a little bit of contempt and a little bit of sourness. "And later, the family became rich and did not stay in our countryside. The whole family made a fortune and moved to the city, becoming a city-based and a rich second-generation. Then we are not the same type of people, and we have nothing to talk about together."
"Then you didn't have a special time with him when his family lived here. Why? What's the problem with Ding Zhengqing's personality or his character?" Du Juan asked.
Originally, this young man didn't want to speak very much, but the person who asked was Du Juan, he seemed a little embarrassed to refuse. He hesitated for a moment and replied, "Actually, it's not a person with bad character. It's a matter of personality. Ding Zhengqing was not old at that time. When he moved out, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. What's so serious about it? He just messed up together. His biggest problem was that he was too good at bragging. How could he say that? That was the one who hangs pig skin on the door frame and wiped his mouth before he could go out! Anyway, even the flies in their family have double eyelids. Usually, a group of children gathered together, and he had to suppress others in everything. After a long time, who would still be willing to pay attention to him, and gradually he would not be so kind."
As the young man spoke, the middle-aged tall and thin man who had just opened his mouth suddenly snorted with a smile. Tang Hongye noticed his subtle reaction and immediately turned his eyes to him. The tall and thin man had no intention of hiding it. Seeing Tang Hongye looking at him, he said to him: "I think Ding Zhengqing is not very good-looking, not only because of his bad-heartedness, but because of his upper and lower beams, the Ding family is not very good from the root. It is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes. Even the old Ding character of their family can't give birth to any good sons."
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged woman next to him who seemed to be his wife immediately twisted her arm and took a look: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the police. I don't know if the son of the Ding family is dead here. You are just talking nonsense here and it will be heard in the ears of others. When the Ding family ran to our family to tear your mouth, I won't stop you! You forgot how fierce their family is, right?"
When the tall and thin man heard this, his original desire to talk seemed to disappear. He closed his mouth and chuckled at Tang Hongye twice and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Tang Hongye did not continue to ask him thoroughly, but smiled at him and asked casually: "Is your family living with this neighbor? Is it far away?"
"Not far away," the tall and thin man pointed to a house with smoke from a chimney below the slope, "just there!"
Tang Hongye didn't say anything else, and asked other villagers around him with Du Juan, and basically he could summarize it. The family's surname is Ding, the head of the household is in his fifties, and his name is Ding Kangqiang. He originally had a wife and only son Ding Zhengqing, and his family lived here with his threesome. In the early years, his family was not particularly well-off, and even when the year was not very good, he seemed a little stretched. Later, he didn't know whether it was Ding Kangqiang who was smart or lucky.
A graduate of a certain agricultural university came to the countryside to carry out wealth projects and found farmers who volunteered to cooperate with to grow some Chinese herbal medicine. Everyone in the village thought this matter was a bit unstable and refused to continue to plant economic crops. Ding Kangqiang's family did not have a few acres of land in total, and the usual harvest was not enough, so he agreed. As a result, no one expected that the planting was very successful and the harvest was quite good. Later, the partner collected the high-quality Chinese herbal medicines grown by Ding Kangqiang at a high price.
Even Ding Kangqiang's first pot of gold turned over in his family, it made Ding Kangqiang liven up.
After that, Ding Kangqiang no longer had to face the loess and face the sky for decades, planting ordinary cash crops, but instead continued to plant some rare things in speculatively. He had a good income for several consecutive years. Some people in the village began to follow the trend, but Ding Kangqiang took it as soon as he got better and stopped continuing. Instead, he used the money he had saved to contract a fish pond in the village and raised fish.
Ding Kangqiang raised fish but did not make money by selling fish. He turned the fish pond into a fishing paradise. There were also some sun umbrellas and fishing chairs next to the fish pond. A small house was built next to it, which was specially used to sell various beverages and snacks. There was even a small kitchen where you could make fried rice and fried noodles. Ding Kangqiang rented a hanger rod. A fishing rod was rented for fifty. No extra money was needed. No extra money was needed. If you were hot, thirsty and hungry, you could buy extra drinks and food. This may not be unusual elsewhere, but in the village at that time, it was the first serving, and it was even unique among the surrounding villages. So it quickly attracted some idle villagers to come and spend. Many people thought that renting a fishing rod for fifty yuan was not expensive. If you could stay here from morning to night, catching a few more fish would not only make a profit, but even take advantage of it.
But Ding Kangqiang is obviously very smart. The fish in his pond are always in a state of being full but not full. If you can't catch them, occasionally there will be hooks. If you can sit on a fishing rod all day, it will be good to catch a carp. If you get it on the market, it will be worth at most 20 or 30 yuan. So no matter what, Ding Kangqiang will make sure to make a profit. In addition, Ding Kangqiang's wife is a very clever man and has good skills. She advises her for two or two. Basically, people who come here to fish rarely bring their own water and dry food. When they are hungry, they buy some food and drink at their house, which makes Ding Kangqiang make an extra profit.
In this way, Ding Kangqiang's family's money was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. Later, because his fishing park was well done, the village was not close to the city, but the transportation was relatively convenient. Gradually, some fishing enthusiasts in the city drove here in groups during holidays. Ding Kangqiang once again saw the business opportunity and set up a farm stay next to the fish pond for fishing enthusiasts from the city to stay. In a few years, Ding Kangqiang's family has achieved a huge leap, from a family that is still owing foreign debts to a family that is almost the richest in the village.
What's even more amazing is that even when the surrounding villages and towns began to have imitators and competitors. Fishing parks and farmhouses began to bloom everywhere, Ding Kangqiang stopped in time and sold his farmhouses and fishing parks for a good price. The family moved away and moved to the city, leaving only the old houses and homes that he had never been to flip. A while ago, Ding Kangqiang's son Ding Zhengqing returned to the village in a glorious manner. He heard that he wanted to help Ding Kangqiang demolish the old house in the village and rebuild a new house like a luxury villa. Ding Kangqiang and his wife were preparing to come back from time to time to live.
