Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

After lunch, the south room of the Li family’s old house.

This was the room where Li Yuan and Qin Daxue got married. It was also the house where Li Yuan, the youngest of the Li family, lived.

After Er Lou and Nie Yu found out, they strongly requested to move here.

The three of them also made special arrangements. The portraits of the elderly were put away and the walls were replaced with New Year pictures of a fat baby holding a carp.

Red candles and red window paper are naturally indispensable. The bed sheets have been replaced with rough large floral bed sheets, and the curtains are printed with bamboo pandas...

All three daughters-in-law like it very much, no one can have it all to themselves!

"Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose……"

Lou Xiao'e told Lou Xiu and Nie Yu interesting things about today, laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.

Nowadays, several sisters-in-law are obsessed with video tapes, and the nephews and wives are driven to the side. The three of them don't want to squeeze in to watch TV, so they rest and talk in the room.

Lou Xiu also laughed, looked at Li Yuan and said, "Did you really save up half a box of doll noodle seasoning packets and send them back?"

Li Yuan lay on the kang and said "high".

Nie Yu laughed out loud, slapped him in the face and said, "You're too bad! At least get some useful stuff, even some kelp."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Do you know why kind people in this world are often easily hurt?"

Nie Yu lay beside him and said charmingly: "Why?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Because kind-hearted people always think that others are like them and will not hurt others for no reason. They always think that others are like them and will repay kindness with kindness. In fact, this is not the case. Among people who are easily hurt, and those who are not Among those who suffer, of course I choose the latter."

Nie Yule said: "Are the people in the courtyard very bad?"

After Li Yuan thought about it carefully, he shook his head and said: "It's not good or bad, it's just the multi-faceted nature of human nature. Greed, jealousy, lust, laziness, anger, pride, treachery, cunning..."

Lou Xiu chuckled and said, "Isn't this bad?"

Li Yuan yawned, caressing a peach with his hand dishonestly, and said with a smile: "If it's not to the point of committing adultery, it can't be said to be bad. Human nature is not that great and upright, but everyone has some sinister ways. Selfishness. How about saying that the most evil thing is sexual immorality, and that there are very few perfect people in the world when it comes to deeds but not their heart? It can only be said that they are not good people, but they cannot be said to be bad people... Who hasn’t said that? "

Lou Xiao'e said happily: "What do you think...are you talking about yourself?"

Li Yuan said bitterly: "What did that bitch Qin Daxue say to you again?"

The three wives couldn't stop laughing. Lou Xiu sighed: "It's amazing."

The four of them were chatting lively when there was a knock on the door, and Li Yuan asked: "Who?"

An auspicious voice came in and said: "Dad, Uncle Wu and the others asked you to come over for a drink!"

Li Yuan said angrily: "Tell Fifth Uncle that before it gets busy after dark, you need to recharge your batteries first."

The door opened quietly. Jixiang was wearing a village-style cotton-padded jacket. He exchanged his new Hong Kong-style clothes for Li Kun's son and nephew.

Jixiang felt that this Northeastern-style floral jacket was too in line with his aesthetics. He felt that wearing it like this was very unappealing, and he made up his mind to take it back to Hong Kong Island to show his classmates...

Ji Xiang chuckled and said, "Dad, several uncles are sitting in the north room chatting, and they insisted that I call you."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Go quickly, we won't be able to chat for a few more days."

Lou Xiu scolded: "Don't you know how to wear clothes in the winter? What are you doing with your arms open?"

Those who are not mothers will never understand what it is like to have two teenage boys.

Such a gentle and virtuous woman, when she meets such a child, she will naturally touch the most convenient thing around her with just one look...

When the eldest mother got angry, Li Yuan got up in despair and ran away with his son in despair.

After the father and son escaped, Nie Yu said with a smile: "Pangpang told me that every time he sees his father cooking at home and being taught to hide around by us, he feels very moved."

Lou Xiu asked in confusion: "Why?"

Nie Yu smiled and said: "She said that there are no wealthy families in Hong Kong like this. The heads of the family are all big men. And outsiders also think that the women in our family will fight for favors and favors. No one can imagine that our family will be so warm. "

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "He did it to live a comfortable life for himself! Other families are like that, so they only have wealthy families and no appearance of life. As time goes by, even the feelings are gone, and only intrigues and calculations are left. If you have property, then what’s the point of living?”

Nie Yu lay on the kang and said with a smile: "Yuanzi is so lucky to meet such a well-educated and sensible woman like us!"

"that is!"

"that is!"

The three of them "chuffed" together again and burst into laughter.

…

"Dad, big brother..."

After Li Yuan arrived at the main room of the north house, he saw that his old father and big brother were also there, and said, "Why don't you take a rest? You still have to take a rest at noon to keep healthy."

Li Gui looked at his youngest son and sighed: "You can't raise him too much. My youngest, you look younger than Li Kun."

There was a burst of laughter below. Li Gui and his eldest son Li Chi sat on the two chairs in the north, and the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth generation sat on the six chairs. The remaining more than 20 adult third generation people could only sit on the old elm wood. The stool is gone.

Fifth brother Li Hai smiled and said: "Not just Li Kun, none of these people who have gone to work look as young as their eighth uncle."

Li Yuandao: "Let's wait and see in two or three years. They will age faster. In the petroleum system, life has been very comfortable in the past few years. It's a bit tiring, but you don't have to worry too much. There are always technical problems. Methods can earn foreign exchange, so basically everything is smooth. When they get to the place, they know what it means to be a good woman who can't make a meal without rice, what it means to be ineffective every day, and to make the ground unable to respond. The conditions are dirty, messy, and poor. , If you want to develop, you need money everywhere, but there is no money everywhere. In a few years, your hair will turn gray."

Hearing what he said was so scary, no one in the room could laugh.

During the Chinese New Year, I asked you to come here to chat, not to scare people.

Wouldn't it disturb you and your three wives' lunch break? Are you so cruel?

Several elder brothers shook their heads helplessly...

Seeing that they were doubtful, Li Yuan asked Li Kun: "You are from a county below Jianghan City in Hubei Province. Have you visited it?"

Li Kun nodded solemnly, and Li Yuan smiled and said, "Is that road easy to walk?"

Li Kun's face turned even more ugly, and he shook his head heavily.

Li Yuandao: "So, even if you can dig out gold there, it's useless if you can't transport it. If you want to build roads, you have to have money. But the government can't allocate a penny, and the province has no money. What can you do?" "

Li Kun said slowly: "Uncle Eighth, there are indeed no good roads in Yangxing County, but it is not bad. It is close to the Yangtze River and there is a section of the Yangtze River waterway that can be used. However, the county is mountainous and hilly, and the plains are very narrow. The primary industry is agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry. Fishing, there is no competitiveness, natural disasters occur all year round... I really can’t find a direction for development.”

Li Yuan looked at Li Cheng and asked, "What do you think?"

After Li Cheng pondered for a while, he slowly said: "My elder brother and I have discussed the development prospects of Yangxing. In fact, Yangxing still has advantages. The reserves of minerals such as gold, copper, coal, cement limestone, etc. are among the top in Hubei Province... "

Li Qingqi, the seventh eldest son of the Li family, asked: "With so many good things, why is it so difficult to develop them?"

Li Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Qi, the things are good, but Yangxing County is very mountainous, and it rains half the year. The roads are not good, mining is difficult, and the cost is high. The railways are not connected, and the roads are not good. Road repairs are not possible." No, these resources are difficult to exploit in the short term, and there is no money to exploit them.”

Li Yuandao: "If you were in your eldest brother's position, what would you do?"

After Li Cheng pondered for a while, he said: "My elder brother and I have discussed that we should forget about provincial roads. Even municipal roads cannot be built. We can only rely on waterways, so we need to build the road to the dock and build the dock." , is the only way. Don’t think about financial allocations, it’s only a small amount, and you can’t grab it. We still have to rely on the old man’s approach, mobilize the people, and follow the mass line.”

Li Kun sighed: "That also requires money."

Li Zeng, the sixth child, said: "In the end, we still have to rely on the villagers to share the income."

When Li Yuan heard this, he suddenly remembered that in the TV series "In the Name of the People" he had watched in his previous life, when Li Dakang was the county magistrate, he forced farmers to death just to build roads and make apportionments.

Li Dakang is not a corrupt official, he is a capable official, a go-getter, super capable, and dedicated to development. However, the farmers are really suffering and cannot get out of it...

After hearing Li Zeng's words, Li Kun and Li Cheng both shook their heads.

Li Kun reminded Li Zeng: "Sixth, when you don't have the absolute initiative in the team, don't even think about this proposal, and you must not speak up, otherwise you will take the blame."

Li Chengdao: "Even if you take control of the team, this proposal cannot be made by you. Otherwise, if something happens, the local cadres will knock you down in one go. Don't go down from Sijiu City or be transferred from the oil system. , thinking that people are asking Zhuge Liang to come out and ask experts to save them, but in fact they want you to get out. It is difficult for a strong dragon to defeat the local snake. The more basic the work, the more complicated and difficult it is to do. If you miss a step, your reputation will be ruined. "

Li Fang, the seventh child, laughed and said: "The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not refer to prefectures and counties or Taiwan provinces, so there were many famous ministers in the Tang Dynasty. Those who came from the lower levels are all human beings."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Fourth brother, you are going to go there in a few years, right?"

Li Cheng nodded, and Li Kun smiled and said: "If Li Cheng goes down, it will be directly at the city level, so it will be easier to do."

Li Cheng shook his head and said: "In the era of great change, heroes can emerge in large numbers, but it is also a great wave, and the mediocrity is the majority. Those who can survive are the minority after all."

Laojiu Li Bu said with emotion: "Yes, it is an unprecedented big change. Moreover, it is still a mess. Even at the county level now, there are many people in the team who are making trouble, and they are all good fighters, even three types. No one is clean yet.”

Li Cheng said solemnly: "When the sea is flowing, a hero will show his true colors! When it's time to take action, you must not be scrupulous, especially when it comes to the three things that were named above to be cleaned up."

Li Kun nodded and said: "After arriving at the position, first use their heads to sacrifice the flag and establish authority. Poor mountains and bad waters lead to unruly people. This cannot be said externally, but you must know it in your heart. The three fires in office must be burning brightly, otherwise It’s impossible to control the scene.”

They were all close relatives, and some things were almost openly spoken.

Li Cheng said: "Go and observe for a period of time, a week is more suitable, and then fight hard and thoroughly. With the help of Mr. Dong's reputation, we can settle the old accounts and clean up the house! But we must make a quick decision and fight Just give it up when it's done, don't cause any trouble, and don't make your superiors too dissatisfied. After all, stability is paramount at all times.

But from my observation, there are still some problems in this world. The policy changed too quickly and too fiercely. It had been strict for twenty years, but once it was relaxed, all kinds of pigs, dogs, and things came out. The chaotic local gangsters also jumped out one by one. Last year, Eight Aunt killed a large number and sent a large number to Western Xinjiang. It was considered that the general suppressed the signs of Sijiu City. But I see that not long after Aunt Eight was transferred, chaos began again after the new group of educated youths came back. Even the capital is like this, let alone other places?

I predict that if this chaos continues, we will have to deal with it again within two or three years, and we will not be able to escape.

So when you go down, don’t be impatient. Beat up a group of the three types of bad guys first, then accept them as soon as they are good, and let your superiors know that you are sensible.

If you wait another two or three years, some of the hidden bad things will definitely come out, and your position will be more stable. After you have done enough work, the next wave of killings will be more targeted.

I read a lot of files in the organizational unit, and also consulted with my eighth aunt and some elders of the Cheng family, and I came to this conclusion: when working in the local area, you must not be impatient, you must be patient, you must look for opportunities, wait for opportunities, and seize opportunities. If you don't take action, that's it. If you take action, you'll kill it with one strike! "

Li Yuan smiled at his father and brothers and said: "Xiao Si is very good. What is home education? This is home education. No one except close relatives will teach this kind of experience to foreigners. Some selfish people, even close relatives and brothers. I don’t know how to teach, I just teach my son.”

Li Cheng smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Eighth Uncle, Brother and his friends may still need your help."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "You kid... tell me, how can I help?"

Li Chengdao: "Even if we mobilize the masses to build roads, we still have to find funds. If the roads and docks in the county are combined, there is no one million that cannot be built."

One million in 1980 was already a huge number.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I gave him a loan of one million. Do you believe that he could take away 800,000 from the market? 800,000 is not enough. The reason why I kept 200,000 is to let him borrow another 2 million." , preferably five million."

Li Jiang cursed: "What kind of bastard is this? A bandit?"

Li Cheng hesitated when he heard the words, and sighed with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect this... Yes, it is possible. We must pay attention to organizational principles and promote style..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You haven't been exposed to these in your current position. Besides, with your eighth aunt and the Cheng family watching, most people won't embarrass you. But when you go down in the future, you will definitely This kind of thing will happen to you. Let alone you, most of those serious second-generation people will be disgraced after they go down. So, you must not be arrogant. In the eyes of those old fritters, you Here, you are just a young melon egg who doesn’t understand anything! Anyone who thinks they are great is just like a joke!"

Li Yuan looked at the group of nephews who had fallen silent and continued: "We haven't completely let go yet, not only in terms of policy, but mainly in people's ideological concepts. What Li Cheng just said is right. After you go down, the first thing to do is , that is, clean up the team first, and then win over the good people. It is not easy to achieve this step.

Under the current circumstances, I don’t think the higher authorities expect you to be able to show your ability to develop the economy immediately. The hinterland must be stabilized first. If you don't do this well, everything else is nonsense.

It would be good to get this thing done in one or two years, but it could be possible in three to five years.

After finishing this matter, I will think of another way. "

After a pause, Li Yuan simply took the strong medicine and said more bluntly: "If the superiors really expected you to develop the economy quickly, they would not transfer you to inland provinces.

The country's resources are limited, so we must concentrate on developing some places that are easy to develop first, and allow some people to get rich first. This place will only be a coastal city, not your place.

Therefore, you must be self-aware, and do not think that what was said when you were mobilized was so nice, that the common people will be in trouble if you are not able to survive. In fact, you must be clear about your positioning. "

When the third generation sons and brothers of the Li family heard this, their faces turned really ugly.

When the organization talked to them before, they really praised them to the sky.

It seems that without them, reform and opening up cannot succeed...

That's why they are all high-spirited and have great ambitions in their hearts.

Everyone has their own calculations. With such a rich eighth uncle standing behind them, they have a lot more political resources than others.

Each of them is only in his thirties, and if he works for ten years and reaches a higher level, his future is limitless.

But now I am being poured cold water on by Li Yuan...

Pull out the cold and pull out the cold, the back of the spine is cold.

Li Gui, who had been silent until now, suddenly scolded: "Look at all of you, you all look like bears! What's wrong, you are not satisfied with being a county magistrate, and you all want to be a prime minister? Don't forget, you are all farmers' children. , how many people can reach this point and never survive it in their lifetime. Ask yourselves, how much better can you be than others?"

The others did not dare to say anything. Li Cheng chuckled and said, "It's great to have such an eighth uncle."

The other third generation children all laughed again, but their laughter was a little bitter.

Fortunately, they are all sober now.

Li Kun rubbed his face vigorously with both hands and said: "Thank you for inviting Uncle Eighth to come over and say this, otherwise... I will be in trouble. Only now do I understand that those people in the original organizational unit, It’s because we are afraid that we will not move away from oil.”

Li Cheng smiled and said: "Of course. Where in the country is it not difficult now? The petroleum unit has the richest oil and water. After Gu Gu went to the Northeast, buildings were started to be built in Daqing, and oil workers were allotted buildings. Sijiu City was better. The units are still working in the courtyard."

A few cursed in a low voice...

It's not that I'm afraid of hardship, but the feeling of being cheated is really uncomfortable.

Li Yuan looked so happy and laughed.

A group of nephews: "..."

His scalp was numb when he was looked at by a group of resentful eyes. Li Yuan coughed dryly and said: "It's not impossible if I force you to push you up. But if you do this, you will not be reused in the future. You will rely on capital to push you up." Who will make great use of those who come out? But if you survive on your own, that is called true talent and learning. It may be difficult for Datang itself to participate in the development under your rule, and you have to avoid it. But if you can really make achievements, I can I recommend some Hong Kong businessmen to invest there. So, in the end, it still depends on you.

Don't think that Kun'er is the boss. Si'er is developing well now. I will definitely recommend these two in the future. I'm overthinking it. Those who arrive early may not succeed, and those who arrive late may not fail. Throughout history, most successful people have been late bloomers. When Liu Bang first started to compete with Xiang Yu, he was a loser. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't compare with Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang at first. But it was they who had the last laugh.

So don’t be depressed. Besides, your current starting point is already ridiculously high. I hope you will seize the opportunities in life and face the difficulties head-on. "

Li Kun nodded, looked at Li Yuan and said, "Uncle Eighth, we understand what you mean. It's just that after we get there, besides arresting the team, we have to do something, right?"

Li Yuan raised his face and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Do it, of course you have to do it. Those who eat the imperial grain should relax and find ways to help the farmers take a breather first. Why in history, in the era of inaction, the lives of ordinary people were easier? Since the objective conditions do not allow it for the time being, don't mess around yet. You have a lot to thank for what you have done, but you still call it paying tuition, and all you pay is the blood of farmers.

If you really want to do something, you should first lead people to repair water conservancy, find ways to help farmers get more fertilizers, etc., and open classes to teach Mandarin during the slack time. Datang will invest in several labor-intensive factories on the mainland in the next two years to work with you and accept a group of farmers.

This can be done in the form of a collective, so that half of the salary is given to the farmers, and half is retained by the county and saved for road construction. Workers on Hong Kong Island now earn more than 2,000 a month, while workers on the mainland can earn 200 a month, which is higher than level eight workers. Leave half of it, one person per month is worth one hundred, and one thousand people is worth one hundred thousand. Once the money is received, construction of the road will begin, and it won’t get stuck. In one year, won’t the road be built? "

Don't think it's a bad idea. The county can actually send some workers to work outside, and they will still be paid. However, the wages for working outside are more than double their original wages.

With the original salary, the county can retain more.

So it is better to let the farmers come out. Even if they only keep half of the land a month, it will still be more than what they will lose after planting it for a year.

It would be another four years, after ID cards began to be distributed, that I would be able to work on my own...

The eyes of Li Fang, Li Bu, Li Chang and others almost popped out of their heads. They all lost their official appearance and manners and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Uncle Eighth! Don't forget us for such a good thing!!"

This method does not involve capital transactions, does not require higher-level finance, and can also demonstrate capabilities. Who wouldn’t want to get involved?

Seeing a group of people yelling, Li Yuan laughed.

Li Chi scolded: "Without your eighth uncle, you can't be an official? If you can't do it, just go home and farm!"

Even though the fourth generation of the Li family has come out, the eldest brother Li's preference for the youngest has not changed much.

The group of people quieted down. Li Yuan smiled at Li Chi and said: "Brother, it's okay. Let me invest in it. Neither I nor they may be able to benefit. Inland transportation is so poor that it is almost impossible to develop within ten years. But , I can still do it to let them participate in the development wave in the south and share a share of the dividends. The advantage of doing this is that it does not violate taboos and can also give them a push." ​​Then he said to Li Kun and the others: " You are all half-monastics who have become officials in the yamen system, so you must be stable. Don't let me fail, and you will fall down first. If you are impatient, you will easily get into trouble."

A group of local people nodded and remembered, Li Bu smiled and said: "Uncle Eighth, I just heard those words of yours, and my heart was really cold. I won't tell lies in front of you. I just wanted to go back to the oil system." But I know that if I really take this step back, I will be useless, and this will be the case for the rest of my life. Then when you said this, I had a clue in my heart, and I also have hope. You have pointed it out to us all at once. Ten years of journey!”

Li Kun and others scratched their heads and rubbed their faces. Li Cheng said happily: "We still have to rely on Uncle Eight. This will save us many detours and falls!"

Nineteenth-year-old Li Chang looked at it with hot eyes and said, "Uncle Eighth, what about us? We will graduate next year, what are the regulations?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It will be easy for you. The ministries and commissions will rob you of everything after you come out. I will go back to your eighth aunt and fourth brother for advice on how to go in the future. Your road will be much easier."

Li He smiled at Li Gui, Li Chi, Li Jiang and other fathers and brothers: "If there is no youngest in this family, how can we understand these things? With the youngest here, it will be much easier for them."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not easy. They worked hard to build the road. When they were ready for development, they were transferred to other difficult places in all likelihood. Their generation was destined to be responsible for the mission of opening up wasteland. The more capable you are, the harder it will be in the future and the more effort you will put in. Whoever can afford it will go up. On the other hand, a lazier like Shiba can’t endure much hardship, but enjoys no less blessings, and the official position may not be small. How many."

Li Kun and others immediately began to curse, and those who were close began to move their hands and feet.

Li Yuan said unjustly: "I hid it well, why did you bring me out and clean it up?"

The younger ones laughed loudly, and Li Chang shouted: "Uncle Eighth, how come all the good things belong to Brother Eighteen?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Do you have the ability to get along with people from all walks of life?"

Li Chang stopped talking, and Li Tang laughed and scolded: "Not to mention, this scoundrel is really good at getting around. Someone in our army knows about him and asked me if I have a younger brother named Li Yuan."

Everyone laughed!

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuan who was secretly proud and said: "Shiba, you are what I am most worried about. As long as your brothers are not mentally damaged, they will be dismissed from office and unemployed at most. You, our family is most likely to be dragged into target shooting." That one. You said you were going to be taken to target practice, what will the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law do..."

A group of third-generation people burst into laughter!

Li Yuan was about to cry and said: "Uncle Eighth, I really don't know how to do it. Aunt Eighth has been keeping an eye on me. If she goes to Shenghai, I can be more relaxed. I have bought all the fireworks and will wait for her." The old man went to Shenghai to relax in the evening. Who knew that the old man stayed in Sijiu City and went to the Planning Commission.

You don't know, there are Eight Aunt's spies everywhere in Sijiu City. If I have a drink, Eight Aunt will call me over in two days and make me stand for half a day. She didn't even say a word, so I had to write a 5,000-word review on the wall.

To be honest, I did write a report and wanted to go down and practice. But my immediate boss said: Li Yuan, it’s not that I won’t let you go, it’s your eighth aunt who said hello to me, saying that with your little virtue, you’re only worthy of hanging around in Sijiu City. Uncle Eight, I can’t even run away! "

Li Kun and his group clapped their thighs, laughing almost to tears. Thinking about it, compared to the eighth uncle, the eighth aunt is now the big devil in the family!

If we really have to pack it up, even they can't handle it, let alone Li Yuan.

"Dad, grandma asked you to clear the table. We have half an hour to eat dumplings for the New Year!"

Li Si wore an apron and opened the door from outside and said.

He didn't come to hold a symposium. He was helping Zhao Yazhi roll out dumpling wrappers and making dumplings with a group of female elders.

Because Li Yuan said that the second oldest child in the family is the best at making dumpling wrappers.

Isn't it the best? He's perfect at concealed weapon training, so he can use the rolling pin more smoothly.

A group of juniors continued to make fun of Li Yuan, while they started to move. Those who took the tabletop took the tabletop, and those who placed the legs of the table moved the legs.

In addition to the large round table, the Li family also prepared a dozen small round tables and benches for the fourth generation.

Li Yuan asked the younger brothers behind him to bring wine and juice, as well as some pastries and candies, which he had saved based on his ability.

Li Chi asked Li Yuan, "Are Tangyuan and Fugui coming back soon?"

Li Yuan looked at the watch on his wrist, nodded and said with a smile, "It should be soon."

…

Haizi, Languang Pavilion.

The working committee has organized old comrades to pay New Year greetings to each other here tonight.

Each family brought some children in. When the old man was here, except for the last year when Haizi set off firecrackers during the New Year, no firecrackers were set off.

This year it was extremely lively.

As a special guest, Li Xing was supposed to sit with the guests from Hong Kong and Macao, but he declined this arrangement and took his younger brothers and sisters to sit with Qin Daxue.

He was rich and noble, and was being held captive by Old General Niu. He was now sitting on the same table with a group of comrades in old military uniforms, holding a pig knuckle and gnawing the sweetness.

Li Xing was not at ease and kept looking over there, because the sound of the old generals drinking was really shocking.

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard singing from the other side: "I am a soldier, from the common people, defeated the Japanese invaders and wiped out Chiang Kai-shek's army!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, even Qin Daxue looked over and saw Fugui put down the pig's knuckle, stood up and howled loudly at the top of his voice.

The loud voice even attracted the attention of the people at the front table.

General Niu was so proud that his children were not allowed to come over in Jinling, and he only had a close disciple beside him, but he gained a lot of face.

After the song was finished, General Niu laughed loudly and shouted: "You bastard, I keep my word, go ahead!"

Fugui grinned happily when he heard this, took the half-eaten pig knuckle and ran to Qin Daxue's table at the back.

There were so many old comrades today that Qin Daxue could only sit back and sit with Song Yun's family.

When Fugui ran to Qin Daxue and called "Mother Snow" happily, Qin Daxue took out the handkerchief, wiped his mouth and hands, and arranged for him to sit down.

Song Yun clicked her tongue at the sight, but at least she knew not to talk nonsense at this time. After turning her head and looking around, she said to Qin Daxue: "It's time to toast."

Qin Daxue looked around and saw that the children of each family were toasting their elders and then being brought to the front to show their faces. It was convenient for them to go directly to the front. Then he said to Li Xing and Fugui: "Hold my brother." younger sister."

Li Xing hesitated and said: "Mother Xue, we don't need to go..."

He didn't want to embarrass Qin Daxue and have a bad influence on Qin Daxue.

He somewhat regretted his careless thinking before sitting at this table.

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Li Xing didn't dare to say anything more and hugged Xiaoba, Fugui picked up Xiaojiu with a grin, Zhiguo followed behind with a smile, and walked to the front with the adults.

Qin Daxue raised his glass and said to Mr. Cao: "Mother Cao, I will bring the children with me to wish you great blessings, happiness and good health!"

This was the first time that she called Mr. Cao Cao's mother. After hearing this, Mr. Cao was startled for a moment, and then a smile bloomed on his face. He nodded and said: "Okay, okay! I also wish you a happy Spring Festival, good luck in your work, and children's study." progress."

He reached out to hold Qin Daxue's hand and tightened it tightly.

Song Yun quit and said angrily: "Daxue, I won't let you do this. Didn't I say I wish my mother good health and all the best? Where did you get the new words?"

Some old people around him laughed, and Qin Daxue said speechlessly: "When did we discuss this?"

Song Yun said angrily: "I thought that's what you said!"

Li Xing and Li Zhiguo looked at each other later, with a smile flashing in their eyes.

This woman, if nothing else, has some tricks up her sleeve to win glory.

It's just that in this place, it's a little childish...

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "It's all good, all is well. You can also wish Gu Gu and the others a happy New Year."

This time, Qin Daxue and Song Yun said their congratulatory speeches together. Gu Gu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay!" But he still said a little more to Qin Daxue: "Comrade Qin Xue, you have made a great contribution, but Xin Daxue In the new year, I’m afraid you still have to work harder and work harder. Walk more and run more! Before making a positive decision, you must investigate clearly. Reform and opening up requires you, the powerful and capable comrades in these years, to work hard! Do your best! Show off your talents! Matsushita Shinnosuke told me, if China wants to succeed in its reform and opening up, it needs a group of Sun Wukongs, and they are young Sun Wukongs, Sun Wukongs without the curse!"

Qin Daxue joked: "It's such a coincidence that it's so old. In the past two years, many people have called me a monkey without a tight curse!"

A group of old people laughed loudly. Gu Gu said to a woman on the side with a smile: "Mr. Sun, this comrade, even though she is a lesbian, I say she is the number one pioneer in reform. I don't think anyone will disagree!"

Mr. Sun is also a great female gentleman. Her husband was a gravedigger in the late Qing Dynasty. The old man nodded and smiled and said: "I have heard of Comrade Qin Xue's name. It is amazing." He looked back and said: "This This is your child, and she is a heroic mother!"

Qin Daxue smiled heartily and said, "Yes, they are all my sons."

Mr. Dong suddenly raised his glass, looked at Li Xing and said: "Xiao Li, Hang Seng Bank has done a great job. It has taken back the local Chinese banks in Hong Kong Island and survived. At such a young age, he has a lot of resilience. Keep up the hard work.”

Li Xing hurriedly bowed and said: "I must remember Mr. Dong's teachings and live up to your expectations. I also wish Gu Gu, Mr. Dong, Grandma Cao and all the old comrades good health and a happy new year."

Mr. Sun was surprised and said: "Is this kid from Hong Kong Island?"

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "The relationships inside are complicated, and the complicated situation created by the times. I will explain it to you in detail later."

Mr. Liu next to him said with a smile: "This young man is not simple. He controls more assets and funds than the national foreign exchange. Xiao Li, when I come to you for alms in the future, you must support me."

Li Xing smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, it is your duty to do so!"

Old Liu laughed and said, "What a duty-bound person! Well done!" He stared at Fugui and said, "Little guy, when did you become General Niu's disciple?"

Fugui grinned, without any stage fright, and said: "When I beat Annan, I was a guard for the old general!"

Not far away, General Niu scolded: "What a fool! You know you are my disciple, but you still call me General!"

People around him burst into laughter, and the old people at the table also laughed and shook their heads.

Qin Daxue said to Mr. Cao: "Mother Cao, I will send them back to spend the New Year with their grandparents first, and then go to the flower hall to accompany you."

Mr. Cao waved his hand and said, "I feel dizzy after drinking two drinks today. I just need to go back to sleep. Please don't come."

Qin Daxue nodded with a smile and said, "Then you have a good rest and I will go to greet you tomorrow."

After that, he took Li Xing, Fugui, Zhiguo and left with Xiaoba and Xiaojiu.

Countless pairs of eyes watched this scene, and many people felt relieved, while some also scolded her for being stupid.

Mr. Cao said helplessly to the others at the table: "Look, he is such a straight-tempered person. He doesn't want to hide it in any twists and turns. There is no way around it."

Mr. Dong smiled and said: "We who are harsh on others should be open-minded and honest with the organization."

Mr. Cao said distressedly: "You are a straight-tempered person who suffers. You just do things and don't take anything else seriously."

Gu Gu smiled and said, "Sister Cao, don't worry, those are all trivial matters."

…

"Mother……"

Li Xing drove the Crown car on the way back to Qinjiazhuang. Fugui sat in the passenger seat. Qin Daxue held his daughter and Zhiguo, who held his brother, sat in the back seat together. Xiaojiu looked at her mother and suddenly called out softly.

Qin Daxue looked at her ridiculously beautiful daughter and smiled warmly: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jiu said: "Mom, I miss you very much."

Qin Daxue's heart trembled when he heard this. He looked carefully at his daughter's eyes and found that her eyes were full of smiles. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bright smile on his face: "Good boy, little Jiu'er, mom misses you too." !”

Zhiguo looked at Qin Daxue and said, "Mom, my younger brothers and sisters can go home. I can take good care of them."

Hearing this, Qin Daxue found it difficult to open his mouth. Fugui in front of him suddenly turned around and said, "Okay, little Liu'er, you can run back to accompany Xue's mother. We have already spared you once. Do you still want to take over the eighth brother and the ninth sister?" Run away, you think so! I'll be home soon and I want to challenge you!"

Li Xing also laughed and said: "Governing the country is too much!"

Zhiguo also knew that he said the wrong thing, so he smiled quickly and said: "Okay, okay, I said it wrong. My brother and sister should stay on Hong Kong Island first and come back when they go to middle school."

Qin Daxue touched his son's head and said with a smile: "Wherever they are accustomed to be, that's where they are. Mom, I will try my best to see them as much as possible." After a pause, his nose was still sore and his eyes were a little red and he said: "It's mom, I'm sorry for you."

Zhiguo said hurriedly: "Mom! What did you say?"

Li Xing glanced at the co-pilot, and then said to Qin Daxue from the rearview mirror: "Mother Xue, please stop talking, look at the wealth, you will burst into tears!"

Fugui sobbed and denied: "I didn't! I just think that Mother Xue is too great!"

Qin Daxue laughed and reached out from behind the seat, rubbed Fugui's head, and praised: "Good son, so kind! Just like your mother."

Li Xing's eyes were full of smiles and he said: "Mother Xue, you are also our mother, and we are a family. Don't worry, your younger brothers and sisters will grow up very happily. Besides, they have to grow up quickly. , I’m going to be my uncle and aunt soon.”

Qin Daxue laughed again, and looked down at the girl in his arms and his son who was scribbling on the leather seat with a pen on Zhiguo's lap, his eyes soft...

…

"It's back, it's back!"

"Get ready, get ready!"

At the entrance of the Li family compound, I watched the Crown car drive from a distance, auspiciously and wishfully greeting the nephews numbered 30 or 40 to line up.

As soon as the car door opened, they saw the two of them playing time and singing:

“Socialism is good Socialism is good

People in socialist countries have high status

The reactionaries were defeated

Imperialism ran away with its tail between its legs

Great unity of the people of the country

Launched a high dynasty of socialist construction

Build a high dynasty! "

Qin Daxue's face was full of smiles. Zhiguo gently tugged on her sleeves. Qin Daxue followed his son's instructions and looked up, and saw a large family waiting at the door.

On the eighteenth day, Li Yuan lit a firework, and there was only a "bang" sound, and a little spark of fire jumped up into the night sky, and then bloomed.

It’s like the east wind blooming flowers on thousands of trees at night and blowing down stars like rain!

Qin Daxue hugged Xiaoba and Xiaojiu and strode inside to go home for the New Year.

Behind him, Fugui has joined the team of brothers and nephews, and they continue to sing at the top of their lungs:

“Socialism is good Socialism is good

People in socialist countries have high status

The reactionaries were defeated

Imperialism ran away with its tail between its legs

Great unity of the people of the country

…”
