Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

February 8, 1986.

Lunar New Year's eve.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a series of inconspicuous and luxurious cars drove out of the Wangfu garage.

Fifteen cars in front and behind.

Finally, there is a steel behemoth, the royal RV that is well known to almost everyone among the "recalcitrant masters" of Forty-Nine City.

Along the way, catch your eyeballs.

The motorcade drove out of Chaoyang Gate, onto the Third Ring Road, and headed south to Yuquanying, and then south to the south of Huangcun.

All four roads turned into single roads before stopping in an open field.

Li Xing, Li Si, Fugui, Jixiang, Ruyi, Li Yuan and other young people got out of the car and worked quickly with tools to clear the snow.

Li Yuan, his second brother Li Jiang and others carried the incense table and placed the sacrifices.

Li Jin, the eldest son and grandson of the eldest son of the eldest family, helped his great-grandfather get out of the RV. The women's group got out of the car and stood behind.

Except for a few babies under one year old, the entire Li family came to invite their ancestors to come home.

The men knelt down, kowtowed, burned paper, and watched Li Guilao kowtow in the direction of Qilu with tears streaming down his face, asking his parents to go home for the New Year.

Most children are actually unable to empathize. They only have respect for their long-ago ancestors, which is also reflected when others scold their ancestors.

However, after watching their fathers and ancestors kneel down in unison, they would also follow behind, kneel down and kowtow.

Cannons cannot be fired at this time, otherwise the ancestors will be blown back as soon as they come up...

After burning the paper, the offerings are not taken back, but are placed on the ground together with the bowls and plates. Travelers who are hungry can take them for themselves. If no one dares to touch them, they are given to the lonely souls who have nowhere to go in the wilderness.

Of course, with such a rich offering, and the fact that the surrounding villagers were already watching the excitement from a distance, it was estimated that none of the offerings would be left within three minutes after Lao Li's motorcade left.

is a good thing.

After the visit to the ancestors was completed, Li Gui was helped back to the RV to rest. The children from each family got on the vehicle one after another, and the motorcade drove back to the palace.

…

Zhongluyuan.

The Yin'an side hall is brightly lit.

Two huge images hang on the north wall, showing two skinny old men.

The painting is very vivid, especially the eyes, as if you can see the misery of life in it.

But there was a smile on his face, looking so loving.

After Li Gui saw these two paintings, he started to cry.

The same is true for Mother Li.

The children, grandchildren, and family members all stood up and arranged their duties according to Zhao Mu.

The so-called Zhao-Mu arrangement means that the founder's son is Zhao and his grandson is Mu. The son of Sun is called Zhao, and the grandson of Sun is called Mu.

In other words, Li Gui stood with Li Xing and other grandchildren, while the eight brothers Li Chi stood with his grandsons Li Jin, Li Feng and others. There is also a way of standing on the side of the female relatives.

It's just that men and women are separated, men are in the east and women are in the west.

Li Gui presided over the ceremony, and Li Chi accompanied the ceremony. If Li Kun was present, it would be Li Kun who presented the wine. In Li Kun's absence, the job was assigned to Li Xing.

Li Yuan presented the harvested grains from his own land and told his ancestors that his family was now rich and no longer lacked food.

Big incense candles billowed with smoke. After Li Jiang and Li He rolled out the worship mat, Li Yuan supported his father Li Gui and bowed down.

All the children and grandchildren in the hall knelt down and kowtowed three times with Li Gui.

After worshiping, light the ears of grain in an ancient cauldron and sprinkle them in front of the cauldron.

The family exited the side hall and returned to the main hall.

Li Xing and Cao Yongshan, He Pingshi, Li Si and Atlanna, Zhao Yazhi, Fugui and Zhou Huimin did not follow up.

Li Gui and Li's mother were persuaded to take the prince's throne by their children and grandchildren laughing, and the whole family was laughing.

Everyone had their cameras ready to take pictures.

Mother Li suddenly became worried: "This is the place where the prince and his wife live. Can we afford it? Can the old ancestors afford it?"

In fact, many people have this little worry in their hearts, but no one dares to say it out loud.

Li Yuan smiled calmly and said: "Mom, as long as I am here, I can bear it. If this were ancient times, our family would have designated to worship our ancestors in the palace tonight. Therefore, by offering sacrifices here, our family is condescending and receiving the honor. I feel wronged.”

Among the roars of laughter, only Xiaojiu smiled and nodded, deeply convinced.

After a while, a boy standing in the back suddenly exclaimed: "Wow!!"

Everyone looked back and saw the "three couples" coming in as if they were the bride and groom who had traveled back from ancient times.

That's all for the men. Each of the five brides wears a phoenix crown, their heads are covered with shining pearls, gems, gold dragons and jade phoenixes, and their bodies are covered with dazzling clouds and brocades!

All of them are as beautiful as flowers. Now dressed up like this, they are all beautiful and fragrant!

Li Yuan explained to his parents, brothers and sister-in-law: "They were all in Hong Kong when they got married, and they didn't do much. We just had a meal together as a family. I just thought about it, when I come back after one year, I will be with my grandparents and relatives. Let’s do it with my blessing. We just worshiped our ancestors together, and now we kowtow to our grandparents, which can be regarded as announcing to the world that our new daughter-in-law is a relative of our Li family.”

Everyone laughed, and the eldest sister-in-law said: "We have been relatives for a long time!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Let's go through the ceremony."

Jixiang, Ruyi, Zhiguo, Xiaoqi, Xiaojiu, I don’t know where they came from. Someone played the suona, someone played the gongs and drums, someone played the flute, someone played the guqin, and someone played the guqin. The uplifting and cheerful "Festival Gongs and Drums" made the whole family laugh out loud.

Several sisters-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to act as matchmakers and helped the bride forward.

Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiu, Nie Yu and others came forward to place futons. In the midst of joy, three grooms wearing champion attire and five brides bowed down to Li Gui and Li's mother.

Applause and laughter made the Li family's New Year's Eve exciting and lively to the extreme.

After the ceremony was over and everyone had congratulated, a group of ladies and sisters-in-law came over to see the bride's brocade dress. It was really beautiful!

Li Yuan took his sons to the kitchen to continue preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

There is no way, this is their home, as the host, this is the only way.

Li Si took off his clothes and hat as he walked, and said with a smile: "Dad, we can be regarded as a little prince now, right? Why go to the kitchen to cook? Chopping wood to make a fire, peeling onions and pounding garlic, cutting pig ears and fishing out pig trotters .”

Several brothers burst out laughing.

Li Yuan laughed and scolded: "You bitch prince! Remember, we live in the palace, not the palace. Hurry up, hurry up, prepare according to the division of labor, we will have cannons to watch the Spring Festival Gala later!"

…

Haizi, flower hall.

Zhao Junxun looked at Qin Daxue and said helplessly: "It's the Chinese New Year, can't you save some face for me? In front of several old comrades, it's hard for me to come to the stage like that."

Qin Daxue sneered and ignored him, but Song Yun helped him: "Then he didn't give Daxue face! He said angrily that the Li family's palace was very lively, what do you mean? Isn't it just that the Li family didn't agree to increase investment? He Since it’s the Li family, why can’t Daxue order his son?”

Zhao Junxun said: "I am also anxious. The control of inflation is not very good. In addition, after the division last year, great financial powers were given to local governments, resulting in a sharp drop in central government revenue. However, the overall planning situation has not changed and the financial burden is too heavy. , the revenue cannot meet the expenditure, and the deficit expands. On the other hand, the people's acceptance and recognition of the reform are different, which has caused overall chaos. At present, in the first half of the year, we must pay close attention to the demand for regulation, and there will be a double tightening of finance and credit. .At this time, the importance of foreign investment will be extremely high."

Qin Daxue sighed and said, "It's just a matter of ignorance and childishness, so don't mention it." After saying that, he said to Mr. Cao, "Mother Cao, I've caused you trouble again."

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "It's okay. You are too gentle now. When the old man and the Prime Minister were younger, it was common for the old man and the Prime Minister to have meetings in full swing, slamming the table and scolding each other. For work, it's nothing."

Qin Daxue laughed and said, "The Prime Minister will definitely not scold you."

Mr. Cao nodded and said: "Yes, he doesn't know how to scold. He always mediates. If the old man gets angry and scolds him, it will make things worse. But afterwards, he will also apologize. They respect each other. You guys. Now the form is different, and the method has also changed. But no matter what, you can’t bully others.”

Song Yun smiled and said: "Mother Cao, as long as you are here, who dares to bully Daxue?"

Mr. Cao smiled and said, "I'm no longer here, and you guys have to help each other." Then he said to Qin Daxue, "I'm not worried about you either. There are people at home who are helping me. Xiao Li, you are getting better and better." The more capable he is. Several foreign guests actually mentioned him when they came to send New Year greetings. What big things has he done outside recently? "

Zhao Junxun said with a smile: "I knew that Dr. Li had made a lot of money by setting up in Japan, and his profits were still expanding. He was as rich as the country."

Qin Daxue shook his head and said: "If the Li family wants to develop in the field of high-precision technology, the money they need to invest will not be enough to double all the current assets. If the Li family can really do something in these aspects, If you produce some achievements, the impact you can have in the future is limitless. But it is probably not because of this outside, because it is still a matter of no trace, and it will not take ten or twenty years to see the real results. However, recently our second son has been here The United States was attacked, involving the DuPont family, the Rockefeller family, and the Anderson family. These families were all unlucky at the same time, and they were involved in a wide range of things. But the Li family has nothing to criticize, and everything has been negotiated."

Zhao Junxun was startled and asked, "Has the Li family... already been in contact with these families?"

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "No, the Li family is just passively involved. How can it compare to those families now?"

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "There is no need to belittle oneself. I have been in contact with the Rockefeller family relatively early. This family has many talents and the right time, place and people have allowed them to grow to this point in two hundred years. As for the Li family, Xiao Li does not need to To say more, I think his son Li Xing is worse than his father. He is much better at dealing with people and dealing with people. This generation is stable again. If the next generation can be educated well, as long as they don’t forget, they If it comes from the people, the Li family will be able to reach a higher level sooner or later."

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "I can't guarantee anything else, but you can rest assured about this. Li Yuan becomes more real the more he lives. He used to pretend, but now he doesn't want to pretend anymore. Why don't I bring him in tonight? , today he is here and can say "your mother's surname". Except for a few respected old comrades, he doesn't feel like losing to anyone in terms of credit. In terms of talent, he is even more conceited. To him, that palace is actually It doesn't count. When he takes his children out for a walk, he can sleep in cowsheds and straw huts. He just packs up a courtyard and comes out because he likes some ancient culture and makes the elderly at home happy. He himself doesn't take it seriously. . If it weren’t for some Chinese people’s national concepts and sense of responsibility, he could live a happy life in the world.”

Hearing this, Mr. Cao laughed and nodded: "You can be considered a happy immortal. He drives a big car, travels all over the world, eats, drinks and has fun, and he makes a lot of money without delay."

Song Yun sympathized with Qin Daxue and said: "I heard from Xiaojun that the Li family's prestige in Hong Kong Island is in shambles. The largest pharmaceutical factory, power plant, gas company, and TV station are all owned by the Li family. There is also a private bank that makes a lot of money. I don’t know how much money it is. No wonder you don’t even want to be an official. If I were you, I would have left all these bad things behind and enjoyed happiness."

"Xiaoyun?"

Zhao Junxun reminded him helplessly.

Song Yun said indifferently: "There are no outsiders here. Besides, I am also complaining for Daxue."

Qin Daxue chuckled: "I don't want to be promoted, it's not that I don't want to do things. I'm still young, I just want to do more pragmatic work. As for the Li family's Datang Group, the boss of the family is now in charge, and Li Yuan becomes the boss as soon as he goes out. I haven’t seen anyone for half a year, and if I count on him, the Tang Dynasty is gone. The boss is good-tempered, but he also has a strong sense of autonomy. Before, I asked him to give him less pocket money for governing the country, giving him half a million a month. It was just a joke. He He gave me a lot of information, and the general idea was that he is his brother who governs the country, so I should be less concerned about it."

Song Yun laughed in surprise and asked: "Then what?"

The three children of the Zhao family were sitting below, their eyes all red.

Oh my God, what kind of pocket money is that? Five hundred thousand a month is still called pocket money?

It takes two months to catch up with a fool!

Nian Guang has been in jail three times for a long time, why shouldn't this guy be taken in and shot for half a month?

Qin Daxue said: "After teaching me a lesson, Li Yuan finally stopped the money. It may not work even if I say it alone."

Zhao Junxun became curious and asked: "What do you do with half a million yuan a month to govern the country?"

Qin Daxue said: "I have supported many poor students."

Song Yun said inexplicably: "This is a good thing! Why did you stop?"

Qin Daxue said: "The funding has not stopped, but the sponsor has been changed. If his name is not justified, what qualifications does he have to directly support others? Besides, at any age, you should do what you should do. Zhiguo himself later thought I understand, and I have decided to do good deeds personally in the future, rather than using my father and brother’s money to do them.”

Mr. Cao looked at Qin Daxue with great satisfaction and said: "You discovered it in time and did it properly. Teach the children to be upright and upright, and they will not be bad in the future. Tonight Zhiguo, Zhenbang, and Luo Xi are with him Dad’s side?”

Qin Daxue nodded and said, "I want to worship my ancestors. I'll bring them here to pay you New Year's greetings tomorrow."

Mr. Cao smiled and said, "Okay. You guys should go home and watch the New Year's Eve. I'm old and can't stay up late anymore."

Song Yun said: "Mother Cao, let's stay with you for a while."

Mr. Cao smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Qin Daxue and Song Yun helped Mr. Cao back to his bedroom to rest, and then left the flower hall.

"Daxue, come and sit at our house!"

Song Yun held Qin Daxue's arm and invited.

Qin Daxue shook his head and said, "I have to rush back and wish the old man a happy new year."

Zhao Meihui said: "Aunt Qin, I will go to pay you New Year's greetings tomorrow. Will it be at Sanlihe or at the Wang Mansion?"

Qin Daxue said: "Of course it's in Sanlihe."

Zhao Xiaojun laughed dryly and said, "Aunt Qin, do I need to go and pay Uncle Li a happy New Year?"

Qin Daxue said happily: "He can make you kowtow, do you believe it?"

Zhao Xiaojun slapped his forehead and said: "Hey, remember, I have to stay at grandma's house for a day tomorrow."

Qin Daxue laughed and said goodbye to Zhao Junxun's family. After leaving Haizi, there was already a vehicle waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, he drove over to take her back to the palace.

Looking at her leaving figure, Song Yun clicked her tongue and said, "Now I am no longer afraid of avoiding taboos. I know where to please."

Zhao Junxun said "Hey" and stopped her from talking nonsense, saying: "Director Qin's character is still worthy of trust. In this era, there are very few people who can do what she has done, and several old comrades regard her with special respect."

Song Yun curled her lips and said: "Isn't it because of the Li family? How come Li Yuan is so capable? He just spent his whole life in Hong Kong to build such a large family business, and even went to Japan to make a lot of money. Lao Zhao, are everyone outside stupid?"

Zhao Junxun laughed angrily and said: "Everyone outside is stupid. Why didn't your son make any noise? How did Qiao Xing and Rong Zhijian get so disgraced? Talented people must be recognized. Xiaoyun, you want to fight back with the Li family. Director Qin maintains a good relationship."

Zhao Dajun understood everything and said: "Mom, Uncle Changning and Dr. Li have a close relationship. A proud person like him will not become friends with a mediocre person."

Song Yunli said confidently: "That's why I said that Daxue now knows how to please."

Zhao Junxun still shook his head and said: "Didn't you see how she was so rude today? Such a person is so sharp and sharp, how can he be a person who pleases others? Between the two of them, one is making trouble outside, and they are called strange people. The other is big inside. He is able to make great moves and kill decisively, making him worthy of being a wizard."

Song Yun whispered: "She doesn't leave any room for anyone she offends. It's okay now that all the old comrades are here. In the future..."

Zhao Junxun chuckled: "Don't worry, as long as the Li family is undefeated, she will always have dignity."

…

"Wulumuqi Ajiazhuang, my name is Alibaba!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and several courtyards had TV sets, all watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Even though it was reunion night, they weren't all confined to the same room.

It’s not that the kids didn’t want to, it’s that the adults thought their brains were about to explode, so they just went out to watch TV, set off cannons, and do whatever they were supposed to do.

Jixiang and Ruyi have become the kings among many nephews with the first generation of "Super Mario" brothers, which was released only last year.

The Li Yuan brothers accompanied their old parents and watched the Spring Festival Gala in the big living room, laughing from time to time.

The Spring Festival Gala of 1986 moved back to the CCTV building, eliminating the bad luck of the Spring Festival Gala of 1985.

Of course, it can’t be said that everything has been swept away. The weird music at the beginning always makes people feel like they are watching Liao Zhai.

Fortunately, the follow-up became more and more exciting. The magic part kept the whole family stunned. When Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi's "Grilled Lamb Kebab" came out, the whole family was laughing.

After Qin Daxue went home and paid New Year's greetings to her parents, brothers and sister-in-law, she sat down next to Li Yuan at the edge.

Lou Xiao'e and others smiled when they saw it, this was the position reserved for her.

Li Yuan said to Qin Daxue: "Chen Peisi's father brought his eldest son, Chen Peisi's brother, to me for medical treatment."

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "Really?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "His father's name is Chen Qiang. He starred as Huang Shiren in "The White-Haired Girl". When he went to perform in the army, a young soldier almost killed him with a gun."

Qin Daxue burst into laughter.

Not to mention Nie Yu, Lou Xiao'e turned her head and asked, "Why didn't you tell us?"

Li Yuan said unjustly: "Isn't this just what they came out to perform?"

A few sisters-in-law were watching the show and probably thought it was better than the sketch.

Qin Daxue took the time to briefly tell Li Yuan about the minor conflict at tonight's New Year's greeting party. Li Yuan chuckled and said, "It's nothing to worry about."

After Qin Daxue glanced at him, he pursed his lips and smiled.

After finally getting through twelve o'clock, Li Yuan went to cook another pot of dumplings for the adults to eat.

The children just ignored it and went to get it themselves when they were hungry.

After eating, Father Li and Mother Li went to rest. As they walked, the old couple counted on their fingers how many coffins had been sent out today, making the whole family laugh.

My eldest sister-in-law followed me in, but didn't forget to turn around and smile: "I feel so bad, I won't let you come back next year."

Mother Li also turned around and emphasized: "It's all the youngest's money!"

Li Jiang yelled: "Next year our family will have a baby! We can have a baby for one year, okay?"

Mother Li wondered: "Why don't you go out this year?"

Li Jiang said angrily: "The youngest has been prepared in advance, but I didn't know!"

Mother Li curled her lips, shook her head, and left.

Li Yuan looked at his second brother, whose neck was thick with anger, and burst out laughing.

Li Jiang slapped the table and said, "Young youngest, let's have a drink tonight!"

The second sister-in-law said: "Go to bed quickly and drink!"

Li Chi also said: "I drank a lot today, and I'm no longer young."

As you all know, couples and families also want to have a reunion year.

So they left one after another.

Li Yuan's family of five also moved their positions and went to Xiluyuan.

…

Yuanziyuan Shangfang.

The red candle-shaped lights are quite festive.

Lou Xiaoe also played a pure music record on the gramophone.

Lou Xiu took out the red wine, and Nie Yu picked up the bottle and opened it, then poured wine for Qin Daxue.

Qin Daxue smiled angrily: "You really treat me as a guest, don't you?"

Nie Yu gave her a blank look and said, "You don't know a good heart!"

Lou Xiao'e placed several plates of nut snacks and said with a smile: "I see you working hard for the country and the people, and I feel sorry for you!"

Qin Daxue glanced at Li Yuan, who smiled and raised his glass: "Come on, let's celebrate our family's first reunion year."

Qin Daxue was startled when he heard this, and his eyes blinked a little fast.

Lou Xiao'e pushed her and said with a smile: "Don't come here! Although you didn't get to spend the Reunion Year with us, how many people did you help to have enough food and clothing? We are not uneducated people. If you don’t even understand this, you would be too selfish.”

Qin Daxue's emotions, which were almost under control, were broken by these words, and tears fell down.

Li Yuan looked at the busy Lou Xiao'e and laughed. Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said: "Still laughing? Aren't you the best at coaxing people? You still don't keep your mouth shut?"

Li Yuan listened to her, stood up and kissed Qin Daxue on the mouth.

"Xu~~"

Lou Xiu and Nie Yu booed, but Qin Daxue stopped crying and beat Li Yuan away.

Lou Xiao'e was speechless towards her man, so shameless!

Li Yuan didn't care, he took a sip of wine happily, smacked it, and his eyes rolled on the faces of the four ladies.

The four of them laughed angrily. Qin Daxue asked Lou Xiao'e: "There are so many young and beautiful female celebrities in Hong Kong Island, but he has never been tempted?"

Lou Xiao'e felt relieved at this point, shook her head and said: "He is not interested in the outside world. None of the rich ladies in Hong Kong would not praise him for his cleanliness. Since Ah Zhi and Xiao Min came into our house, one of them is in charge of TVB and Hong Kong's largest movie theater chain, the largest Chinese-owned record company, the eyes of Hong Kong female stars are almost red. Who doesn’t want to get involved with a man from the Li family? But he doesn’t even have the slightest scandal. Not only him, but also several children. All clean.”

Nie Yu said with a smile: "I thought Shiba would be dishonest, but I didn't expect him to be the hottest one. An actress passed by him, accidentally spilled wine on him, and knelt down to wipe him. As a result, Shiba He was kicked down. From then on, few people dared to play such tricks."

Lou Xiu smiled and said: "That's right. How can those actors be as beautiful as Tian Ling? They don't have as good a temperament as she does."

Nie Yu pouted and said: "No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will get tired of her after a long time. Haven't you heard people say that domestic flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers?"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Li Yuan and smiled: "He can't."

Nie Yu laughed and said, "That's right. He is so good at playing and has so many tricks. Of course he can't do it."

Lou Xiu disagreed: "The main thing is to attach importance to love. Otherwise, no matter what, we can't compare with a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. At that age, we are young and energetic. Look at the fat father, and Sixth Uncle, two old and dishonest people. Jin Yong's third wife is almost thirty years younger than him."

Nie Yu sneered and said: "Maybe he likes the older one, Sister Wei Hong, hehe!"

Qin Daxue looked at Li Yuan, who said openly and aboveboard: "What are you looking at me for? It's pure slander!"

Qin Daxue glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "Keep it up, wait until we are all over seventy, then let you go free, and let you crush the begonias with pear blossoms." Then he said to Lou Xiao'e: "By then we will have gray hairs Old lady, let’s play cards together, chat, and go out for some fun.”

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

Nie Yu observed Li Yuan and saw that he was clapping his fingers, and said happily: "What are you thinking about?"

Li Yuan said seriously: "I'm counting the year when I turn seventy. My dear, it's just been the Spring Festival of 1986, and you guys have been giving me a stick until 2008!! I advise you to be a good person. Be kind!”

The four of them were all overjoyed. It would be more interesting for couples to live in ordinary people's homes in a vulgar way.

Qin Daxue asked Lou Xiao'e, "Are you still going out to play after the New Year?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said: "I'm tired, let's wait for the next time. After the New Year, he will send the master to the north to visit the graves of the two senior brothers. After that, the master will probably... keep dragging him."

Hearing this, Qin Daxue looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Where are you working?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not easy. After cremation, he will be buried, and the spiritual tablets will be kept in the side hall. We will all be like this in the future. We will mourn and honor him after death. It's just fucked up."

Qin Daxue nodded, Lou Xiu glanced at Li Yuan, and then said: "Master has finished his work. He wants to send Sister Wei Hong to the northwest to visit that gentleman's grave."

After Qin Daxue was silent for a moment, he sighed: "It's not easy. That gentleman is certainly great, and Gao Weihong has also dedicated thirty years to him. From the age of twenty to fifty, that's it."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "She has been in the ivory tower her whole life and is used to it. She doesn't want to make any changes."

Qin Daxue doubted: "Do you think you are pitying her?"

Without Li Yuan's need to answer, Lou Xiao'e sneered: "Of course not, eyes can't deceive people."

Qin Daxue looked at someone sideways, and then said to Lou Xiao'e: "My heart... is actually a little sour. But I know I am in the wrong and have no right to ask him for anything. How about you, how did you get through this?"

Li Yuan "praised" and said: "The topic you chose is more suitable for the New Year! Why don't you talk more about how brave I am? I heard that such explicit topics are often discussed among the ladies of Hong Kong Island?"

Lou Xiao'e spat: "Bah! How did you know?"

Li Yuan said happily: "Mi Gao said it, he is familiar with it!"

The wives all laughed, and Lou Xiao'e said to Qin Daxue: "It's similar to you. He has been running this family all these years. Looking back, if it weren't for him, we would be human or ghosts now. The key point is Yes, I have been caring for this family wholeheartedly for thirty years. I get up early to make breakfast and send the children to school. In the evening, they cook dinner and pick up the children from school. They give us massages every night. We don’t have to worry about making money at home. We are just allowed to do it. What we like to do. If we really want to find another young and beautiful woman to come to our door, we can't stand it and can't deal with it. Sister Wei Hong is just right. The key is that the man is in love and the concubine is interested. But unexpectedly, both of them are naughty people. . Let them do it, don’t force it. We have spent the first half of this life comfortably, with almost no hardship, and enjoyed all the blessings in the world. As long as the second half is half as good as the first half, we will be very satisfied."

Lou Xiu smiled and said: "People have to be content, otherwise it will be terrible. What you said about seventy years old makes sense. When we are seventy years old, he will probably look like he is thirty or forty years old. By then Even if he still wants to see us, we don’t want to see him.”

Li Yuan said with relief: "Elegance and affection are far more important than beauty and youth. Besides, we can also play the game of Tianshan Tonglao..."

"Fuck you!"

Such a gentle woman like Lou Xiu became angry.

I'm not angry at Li Yuan, I'm angry at the ruthless years.

Qin Daxue chuckled when he saw it, and said: "No wonder so many princes and generals have been pursuing immortality since ancient times. Life is so happy that they don't want it to come to an end."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you'll be guaranteed to be 100 years old. I won't say any more, while you're young, rest and rest! Hey, hey, hey!"

…

Early the next morning, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The whole family got up to the sound of cannons fired by the little bastards.

The courtyard of the palace is deep, and the newly built house has thick walls and good sound insulation. Otherwise, like most of the Forty-Nine City, it would be like being unable to sleep by the sound of cannons all night long.

Li Yuan took the whole family to pay New Year greetings to Father Li and Mother Li. After everyone ate dumplings, Lao Li's family couldn't stay any longer and wanted to go back to Qinjiazhuang to pay New Year greetings to the neighbors.

The benefits of having twelve security guards at home were demonstrated when a car was transferred from Datang Restaurant and driven back.

Li Yuan took his wives to visit the Changdian Temple Fair, where they bought candies, candied haws, and stewed...

It was a fun day of fun.

On the second day of the lunar month, I took Nie Yu, Xiaoqi, Li Xing, Li Si, Fugui, Jixiang, Ruyi, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu to Nie's house.

Go back to your parents' house.

Li Yuan always felt that Comrade Yuan Chao's hands were shaking when he handed out red envelopes.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to the homes of Wang Shixiang, Zhu Jiazhu and Mei Lanfang to pay New Year greetings. Although Mei Lanfang passed away, Mrs. Mei was still there.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to Nanluogu Alley, met with old neighbors like Erya, paid New Year greetings, and had a lively drink with Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Yan Jiecheng.

After witnessing Si Zhu beating Xu Damao again, Li Yuan left.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, I went to Song Zheng and Wang Yamei's house and met Song Shengli. Now that Song Shengli was working at the Martyrs' Foundation, he was very handy, so naturally he had another big drink.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the feeling of the New Year is still there, but it is basically over.

Those who should go to work start working, and those who should do business mostly open their doors to welcome customers on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Yuan pushed Zhang Dongya and took Zhang Guoqing and Zhang Guoqing's eldest son Zhang Dongliang to the airport. Seeing Mei Changning actually there, he wondered: "Why are you here? You don't want to pay me New Year's greetings?"

Mei Changning laughed, rubbed his head and said calmly: "I don't dare to go, I really can't afford the New Year's money. If you give me less, you'll lose face, and if you give me too much, it won't be enough to pay all the money."

Li Yuan was furious: "Then you asked your wife to bring your daughter to our house to celebrate the New Year? I gave such a big red envelope!"

Mei Changning smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and said: "Okay, okay, I don't want your red envelope for nothing. No, I will accompany you personally. Although you are a wealthy capitalist, you are really useless in the north. .It’s the best over there!”

…

Mei Changning was right, there was indeed Jue Juezi here.

There was a car to see me off along the way, but the curtains were nailed shut and were not allowed to be opened.

Drivers, translators, etc. are not allowed to chat with guests.

But the food and service are very attentive, and it feels much better than those in mainland China...

The car drove for several hours before reaching the Kaesong Martyrs Cemetery at the southern foot of Songak Mountain in Kaesong City.

Completed in March 1955, it is the cemetery with the largest number of martyrs buried in the north. There are 24 collective tombs on four floors. 15,236 martyrs are buried here. Among them, 10,000 are named. Zero eighty-four, unknown martyrs, five thousand one hundred and fifty-two.

The martyrs who died in the third battle from December 31, 1950 to January 8, 1951 are buried here.

This battle lasted for nine days, breaking through the "38th Parallel", liberating Seoul, and driving the enemy to the south of the "37th Parallel". It was an outstanding achievement!

However, there is no way to bury these martyrs one by one.

After the car arrived, local soldiers and civilians had already mobilized to clear a path.

This is of course Mei Changning's favor, otherwise Li Yuan would probably have to carry Zhang Dongya on his back in the snow.

The entourage followed and escorted Li Yuan and his party to the tomb.

Looking at the densely packed and even vague handwriting on a huge stone tablet, Zhang Guoqing shed tears and looked at Li Yuan in embarrassment.

Before Li Yuan could think of a way, Zhang Dongya said vaguely: "No need to search carefully, just worship like this. It won't be a loss to worship anyone."

Zhang Guoqing wiped away his tears and said, "Grandpa, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to take my father and second uncle back to China..."

Zhang Dongya shook his head and said: "Why take them back? Just let them be with their comrades. That's fine. Even if they want to be taken back, there is no reason to take them privately. One day in the future, when the country becomes rich and powerful, let the country take them back. . Quick... burn some paper, pour some wine, put in a few cigarettes, and say goodbye... say goodbye."

Li Yuan turned over his hand and took out a silver needle, pricking several large acupoints on the old man's body.

Seeing him piercing Zhang Dongya's head with such a long silver needle, the accompanying North Face staff were shocked.

Zhang Guoqing's heart felt more and more like a knife, and he laid out the burning paper, prepared offerings, tobacco and wine.

Then he pulled Zhang Dongliang to kneel and kowtow in front of He's tomb: "Dad! Second uncle! Grandpa and I are here to see you!"

After shouting loudly, he cried loudly at the top of his lungs.

Looking at the tomb together, Zhang Dongya burst into tears.

Li Yuan bowed three times, and Mei Changning stood and gave a military salute.

After Zhang Dongya wiped his tears with difficulty, he called his great-grandson and said, "Dongliang, sing a song for your grandpa."

Six-year-old Zhang Dongliang stood upright and sang loudly:

"The beacon smoke is billowing and the heroes are singing, and the green hills all around are listening, listening

The thunder in the blue sky beats the golden drum, and the waves in the sea make harmonious sounds.

People's soldiers drive away tigers and leopards, risking their lives to preserve peace

Why is the battle flag so beautiful and the blood of heroes dyed it red?

Why spring is always present in the earth, and flowers bloom in the lives of heroes!

Why is spring always present in the earth?

The life of a hero blooms with flowers! ! "

Li Yuan, Mei Changning, and Zhang Guoqing accompanied Zhang Dongliang's children's voice to sing this heroic hymn!

After singing, the three adults and one child took out clean towels and wiped the inscription on the joint tomb.

After working for more than an hour, he bowed again and pushed Zhang Dongya back to the car.

After staying one night in the north, we flew back to Sijiu City.

That night, Zhang Dongya closed his eyes and left.

"grandfather!"

"Master!"

Zhang Guoqing and Fugui, each cried louder than the other.

It's not just a howl. The sorrow in the cry is extremely unbearable.

Zhang Guoqing was sensible early, and his feelings for his grandfather were complicated and inexplicable. He once hated his grandfather and thought that he killed his father.

But as I grew up, with the care of my teachers and the respect of my classmates, I understood the greatness of my father.

Later, because of Li Yuan, after Liu Xuefang, Zhang Guoqing and her son reconciled with Zhang Dongya, Zhang Dongya became the best grandfather and Zhang Guoqing was also the best grandson.

As for wealth, because of his big keel, Zhang Dongya, the master later, loved him more than Zhang Guoqing.

He even protected Li Xing to the point of doubting him, leaving Li Xing dumbfounded.

Now that Zhang Dongya left before even being fifteen, the two of them naturally felt as painful as being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

At the door, Xiaoba asked his sister curiously: "Why doesn't Dad persuade the third brother and Guoqing brother?"

He, a scumbag in martial arts training, had been abandoned by Zhang Dongya a long time ago, so his relationship was average.

There was a bit of solemnity on Xiao Jiu's face. He glanced at his father and said, "The living are passers-by, and the dead are returnees. It will be fine after crying. In a few days, they will all be forgotten."

Xiaoba was surprised and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? You won't be sad even if I die?"

Xiaojiu tapped his forehead with her fingers, turned around and left.

It turns out that my father would be so sad.

It's amazing that he has so many emotions and is able to be as clear-eyed as a mirror. His father is as majestic as a holy mountain. It's really amazing.

…

Seven days later, most of the Li family returned to Hong Kong Island.

Even Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiu, Nie Yu, Liu Xuefang and others went back.

The children, except Xiaojiu, also went back.

Li Yuan and Gao Weihong stood in front of the RV, looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "Let's go with dad. I'll take you for a while."

Xiaojiu pursed her lips and smiled: "No need. Dad, I'll walk slowly and watch slowly."

Gao Weihong said warmly: "Didn't dad take you to see it last time?"

Xiao Jiu said: "Last time I looked at the mountains and rivers, but this time I looked at the human heart."

Gao Weihong smiled and said: "Jiu'er, don't let the Taoist take you abducted and become your disciple."

Xiaojiu chuckled and said: "I have dad to protect me, who in the world dares to hurt me? Dad, Aunt Wei Hong, I wish you a safe journey!"

After saying that, Xiao Jiu, who was carrying an ordinary schoolbag, turned around and got off the road, and his thin figure walked towards a village below.

Gao Weihong really couldn't rest assured. He looked at Li Yuan and said, "There are so many bandits and road bullies in the village. Is this really okay? How can this make people feel reassured?"

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head and said: "After his second brother taught her hidden weapon kung fu for seven days here, he always took a detour when meeting Jiu'er, wishing he could bang his head against the wall. Don't worry, of the seven sons and two daughters in our family, Jiu'er is the only one who is the proud one. We Let’s go.”

Gao Weihong said nothing after hearing this. After getting into the car with Li Yuan, the large RV drove towards the northwest.

There was once the place where her dreams ended...

However, the years are so ruthless, and the knife of time scrapes the few memories into pieces one by one, making them blurry.

So, she wanted to go and see it again.

PS: My father’s meniscus is severely damaged and he will most likely need surgery. If surgery is really needed, the number of times per day may not be many. I am middle-aged...
