"What? A million or so?"
Yu Huai, who had been very calm, started to lose his composure.
This figure at this time was simply a bombshell.
How many millionaires were there in Jiangbei City? Yu Huai might have to calculate this carefully. He could calculate it, but it didn't mean that their social class could truly enter that circle.
A million at this time could completely achieve a leap in social class. Keep in mind, this was an era when even a ten-thousand-yuan household, even if not rare, was definitely considered wealthy.
Furthermore, assets worth over a million and cash worth over a million were two completely different concepts, causing Yu Huai to be momentarily dazed.
Without paying attention, his younger brother had become a millionaire?
"You kid, your luck is incredible."
Although he knew that Yu Zhou might have had some calculations when he went to Wanghai to buy subscription certificates, or perhaps bet his fortune to turn things around.
But you couldn't deny that his luck was truly good. With a few subscription certificates, he had become so rich?
No one would believe it if you said this, right?
After chatting for a while longer, Yu Zhou began to explain his plans for next year to his elder brother.
Of course, he still didn't say what kind of real industries he needed to engage in.
As things stood, no matter what he needed to do after the New Year, avoiding Qin Siyue was impossible. Not to mention that he didn't have the ability yet, even the funds were hard to gather.
In such circumstances, there were still many things he needed to do.
However, Yu Zhou was full of confidence. This era was indeed the best of times, and he certainly couldn't continue to wallow in obscurity.
On the noon of New Year's Eve, they only had a simple meal at home.
In the afternoon, they had to go to worship their ancestors, and the women had to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner at home.
Compared to later generations, this New Year had much more of the festive atmosphere.
It was precisely because of this that even though Yu Zhou later became someone who didn't celebrate the New Year as much, he was still very happy at this stage.
His parents, grandfather, sister-in-law, his wife, daughter, and nephew were all there.
What a joyous occasion this was.
Compared to later generations, this large family reunion was something that Yu Zhou could truly enjoy from the bottom of his heart.
"Nian Nian! This is your lucky money from your third uncle. Be careful not to let your mom take it for safekeeping!"
After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Zhou took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago and started giving money to the children.
Because he had made money this year, and made a lot of money.
So the red envelopes were all sealed with one hundred yuan. Neither his sister-in-law nor his wife said a word.
After all, the lives of rich people were this simple and unpretentious.
It was just a pity that whether it was Yu Nian Nian or Yu Xiao Yu, these two brats could only get the red envelopes with their outer shells from the paper factory.
These were rarely seen in Jiangbei. Even Yu Zhou himself had very few of them at the time.
If he hadn't intercepted some of them, he wouldn't have been able to get them himself.
As for the money inside, well, even though Yu Zhou had specifically instructed his Yu Xiao Yu and Yu Nian Nian, these two little scamps couldn't get their hands on it in the end.
After all, giving over a hundred yuan to children at this time was completely impossible.
That night, they stayed up to usher in the New Year. The family gathered in the room, watching the Spring Festival Gala on the fourteen-inch black-and-white television.
You have to admit, color TVs or even bigger TVs in the future really didn't have the same atmosphere as this small black-and-white TV.
The family took out snacks, and the children played around the room, which made Yu Zhou completely immersed in this atmosphere. It was wonderful.
For the next few days, with his elder brother at home and the family not having gathered for a long time.
Yu Zhou did almost nothing and just stayed at home, accompanying his family.
The old man was already over seventy this year. Although they saw him often, the old man stubbornly insisted on living alone.
Every time, it was only during the Spring Festival that Yu Zhou's family could bring him over.
Looking at the house filled with descendants, the old man puffed on his water pipe, and although he didn't say much, he always gave Yu Zhou the feeling that as long as this elder was there, their home would always be a home.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the suburbs were still lively, with people visiting relatives everywhere.
This year, Yu Zhou had originally planned to visit his mother-in-law's house with his wife on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
However, when they called, the mother-in-law's family had gone to their younger son's house in Jinling.
So they had to wait until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year to return, and then they could visit.
With the intention of repairing their relationship somewhat, Yu Zhou felt helpless.
After all, his relationship with his mother-in-law's family was not very good, and Jiang Jie had been working hard to mend their relationship, but without success.
This time, he wasn't exactly famous, but he could go to his mother-in-law's house with his head held high and say that he had taken good care of their daughter.
It was just a pity that he couldn't go in the short term.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault..."
"You're already so rich, yet you still won't lend me money, so I lost so much today, you have to pay me back..."
Suddenly, while Yu Zhou was chatting with his elder brother at home in the suburbs.
He heard a familiar shouting voice suddenly appear outside the house.
Not only that, after the voice fell, a large brick was suddenly thrown into their yard.
It was clear that this person was drunk and wanted to cause trouble at their house.
"Who? It's the first month of the New Year, and you don't want to have a good time, do you?"
Yu Huai wasn't short-tempered, but he couldn't tolerate being bullied at his doorstep during the New Year.
He immediately took out a shovel and was about to go out to see.
"Zhou Shuo? This guy actually has the nerve to come to my door?"
Yu Zhou, on the other hand, recognized the owner of the shouting voice.
Frowning slightly, he also picked up a stick and angrily went to the center of the yard.
"Yu Zhou, you have the guts not to acknowledge relatives, but not the guts to open the door?"
"If you don't open the door today, I won't leave!"
The shouting from outside continued. It was clear that the guy was not only drunk but also wanted to latch onto their family.
Yu Huai's expression turned ashen, and he saw who was outside.
He then turned to look at his younger brother.
"Isn't this the son of the third aunt from our great-grandfather's family? What? Did you provoke him?"
Obviously, Yu Huai was unaware of the previous commotion.
