On the sixth day of January, the Li family drove a 212 Jeep to the Feng Family's house. The Feng Family was also waiting outside to welcome them. The dog was chained to the backyard to not disturb the guests.
The Li family carried two cartons of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, two boxes of tea and two bags of red sausages. Li Shiqiang was holding a canvas bag tightly.
The family sat down and Zhang Muhua brought Feng Danying to prepare dinner. Feng Xingtai chatted with Li Shiqiang's parents. Li Shiqiang carried the big bag and followed Feng Yu into the house.
"Brother Li, are you done exchanging?"
"Yes, 91,200 RMB. It's all in here."
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. It was more than he expected. Seems like there were a lot of people in Bing City who needed foreign currency. He could make a lot of money if he seized this opportunity.
"Brother Li, thank you for your hard work. I think my father will be very satisfied. If you have more Rubles, can you exchange them? "
"Yes. Actually, there were people who came to me to exchange Rubles, but I don't have any left. You can still get Rubles? " Li Shiqiang was curious. Foreign currency was not easy to get. He worked at the Post Office and his father was a leader. Even such a family could not do anything. How could a middle school student from a farm have any connections?
Feng Yu smiled and said: "International Hotel!"
"International Hotel? There are a lot of foreign guests in the International Hotel, but how are you going to get in? Do you know the manager of the International Hotel? "
"I can get the foreign guests to exchange. We will give them a slightly higher price. Don't they want to take advantage of us? "
Li Shiqiang slapped his forehead. Why didn't he think of this? But to communicate with foreign guests, he needs to know a foreign language. He does not know any.
"Then we need to find a translator. It's not easy."
Feng Yu used his hand to attract Li Shiqiang's attention, and then pointed to himself: "I can communicate in Russian and English." He then said a few sentences in Russian and English.
Li Shiqiang's jaw dropped: "You know two foreign languages?" Is Danying's brother a genius? How old is he? How can he know two foreign languages? How did he learn?
In this era, knowing one foreign language was already worshipped, let alone knowing two. In 2015, not to mention two foreign languages, there were even three or four. Feng Yu had even seen elites who were proficient in eight foreign languages!
"Ok, I will go to Bing City with you tonight. I want to visit my teacher. Tomorrow, after I exchange Rubles, I will pass it to you."
Li Shiqiang realized that he, who was in his early twenties, felt like he was meeting a leader in front of a fifteen-year-old child. This future brother-in-law would definitely become a big shot in the future because he was a genius who knew two foreign languages!
When they arrived at the central room, everyone looked at them. Feng Yu revealed a harmless smile, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Feng Xingtai was afraid that something might happen to the money, and he did not tell his wife about the large amount of Rubles. Although it was a little different from his expectations, his wife was still happy for a long time. Especially when she heard that her daughter was dating someone from the city and was working in the Post Office, she told everyone she met in the village.
Li Shiqiang's parents were afraid that the Feng Family would not be satisfied with the amount of Rubles exchanged. They were also afraid that the Feng Family would think that they had hidden some of the money. Although their family was not as rich as the Feng Family, they would not do something like this. They were especially fond of the well-behaved and sensible Feng Danying. This kind of daughter-in-law must marry into their family. They must not let their future in-laws pick on them.
Lunch was based on the Feng Family's tradition. It was another eight meat dishes. There were pheasants, hares, and wild fish. The Li Family's chopsticks never stopped eating.
Although they were from the city, the food in the city was not as fragrant as the food here. Furthermore, they met their future in-laws today and realized that they were easy to talk to. The marriage between their son and the Feng Family's daughter was officially settled. So, the Li Family's appetite was high.
When his father went to the toilet, Feng Yu followed him out of the toilet.
"Dad, I got the money back. 91,200 RMB. This is at least 7,000 to 8,000 RMB more than what I got from the bank. I want to go to Bing City with Brother Li and the rest. Firstly, I want to visit Teacher Sun. He is from Bing City, and I should pay him a visit. Secondly, I want to go to the International Hotel to exchange the money for Rubles. If I continue to do this, I can get a few thousand more RMB. "
At first, Feng Yu thought that it would be difficult to persuade his father. But his father was more straightforward than him: "Fine. I will let you keep our family's passbook. If you continue to do this, you are not allowed to do this anymore."
"Dad, don't worry. I will only do this for a short period of time."
"You should be going to high school in the second half of the year. There are no high schools in the district. The high schools in the district and the branch offices are also average. You should go to the city for high school and get into a good university in the future. Let them know that our Feng Family has a genius."
So, this was what his father was thinking. His expenses in Bing City were much higher than at home. He must earn more.
"Dad, don't worry. I will surely get into a high school in Bing City and get into a good university in the future."
Feng Yu might not have much confidence in his Physics and Chemistry subjects. But for the High School Entrance Exams, Physics and Chemistry were easy. Also, he will surely get high marks in Mathematics and Russian. He will also be good in Chinese. There was still one semester for him to adapt. He might not be able to get into the best university in the city, but it should not be a problem for him to get into a high school in the city!
"Ok. Good son. You are promising. Don't be like your father. Digging for food in the fields. You will be a good-for-nothing. Your sister will be graduating this year. When she graduates, I will buy a house in Bing City for her. You can live with her and let her take care of you. "
Old Feng was very generous. He had asked around and found out that the Li Family's two-room apartment in Bing City was worth about 20,000 RMB. His family's assets were more than 100,000 RMB. He could even afford 3 to 5 apartments!
Of course, all these must be kept from Feng Yu's mother. Luckily, Feng Xingtai still knew the passbook password.
At around 2 pm, the Li Family got up to leave. Feng Yu and his mother helped to load the food on the roof of the jeep. These were all bought from other families in the village.
"Mum, I am going to Bing City with Brother Li today to visit Teacher Sun. I did not have the time last time."
Zhang Muhua nodded: "Of course. Teacher Sun treats you so well. But I did not prepare any gifts for Teacher Sun. I will bring you some money later. You can buy some canned food, malt milk, etc. for Teacher Sun. "
Towards Teacher Sun, not only the Feng Family, but everyone in the district respected him. His character and knowledge were very good. He even gave up the opportunity to return to the city to work and had sponsored many poor students. He was a good man in the district.
Feng Yu also respected him a lot. This time, he was going to Bing City to visit Teacher Sun.
"Mum, it's ok. My dad had given me the money."
When the Li Family knew that Feng Yu was going back to Bing City with them, they welcomed him. Anyway, the jeep was big enough for 4 people. But the Li Family was puzzled. Why was Feng Yu still carrying that big cloth bag? Wasn't that bag filled with money? Could there be an accident?
In the jeep, Feng Yu explained to them that he was going to exchange for some Rubles. He also told his parents that if they had money, they could use it. 10,000 RMB could be exchanged into 11,000 RMB in a few days. It was easy and profitable.
Li Family's parents thought about it. Anyway, the money was with their son. Furthermore, the Feng Family was getting more money, and they also wanted to earn some money. Their son's wedding would surely cost a lot of money.
So, back at Bing City, Li Family's parents passed their passbook to their son. They asked him to go to the bank with Feng Yu tomorrow to withdraw all the money and exchange it for foreign currencies.
That night, Feng Yu stayed at the Li Family's house. He slept on the same bed as Li Shiqiang. Li Shiqiang slept soundly, but the Li Family was tossing and turning all night.
