Chapter 177 Worship

"Oh, they're all back!"

Chengxian Street, Lou Mansion, when Li Yuan arrived with his wife, children, and sister-in-law, Lou Zhentao and Tan Yuemei were overjoyed.

At their age, what they fear most is loneliness.

Before the public-private partnership, Lou Zhentao could still be unrestrained and unrestrained, but now he can only stay at home honestly.

I have nothing else to do, so I feel depressed.

"Grandpa, grandma!"

Xiao Tangyuan also likes here, because grandpa and grandma can always come up with good things.

Even though he is young, he is very clever.

Lou Zhentao and Tan Yuemei were naturally more happy, and they responded one after another.

Tan Yuemei hugged her grandson first, and then looked at her son-in-law.

Lou Zhentao asked: "When did you come back?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I just came back during the day. Dad, are you and Mom okay?"

Lou Zhentao nodded and smiled, "Okay, it's always been fine."

Li Yuan also laughed, what a chicken feather, look at how thin you have become.

Lou's family is not short of food, and look at the mother-in-law, hey, how many years younger...

What have your father-in-law been doing these past two months?

Don't eat the Shenglong pills given before you leave. Don't eat them as Shengtian pills.

After sitting down in the living room, Lou Zhentao asked some questions about Daqing. After learning that it was indeed a huge oil field, he looked a little complicated and said, "Now, many people will be disappointed."

Li Yuandao: "How to say?"

Lou Zhentao smiled and said: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people ran away and their property was confiscated. Relatives who stayed on the mainland were also implicated, so those people hated the mainland so much that they wished there would be a big chaos and all die. They will come back. Therefore, as long as there is bad news here, it will be amplified and publicized over there. After falling out with Lao Maozi, oil has become a key raw material that is stuck. Without oil, everything from national defense to industry will be affected. It’s useless. They gloat outside and wait for the mainland to die.”

Li Yuan wondered: "But the Daqing Oilfield was announced in 1959, so why are they making such a fuss?"

Lou Zhentao laughed and said: "How could they believe it? The Japanese and Americans have tested in Daqing successively, and they all said there is no oil, and concluded that the mainland is an oil-poor country. After we announced it, everyone outside almost burst into laughter and laughed at us Telling lies, living in a world of lies made up by oneself, deceiving oneself and others, deceiving oneself and others. In fact, many of us are unsure and don’t quite believe it..."

Li Yuanle said: "Less than two kilometers away from the Little Japan exploration well, a very large oil field was dug. After it is developed in Daqing, China will no longer have to import oil for a long time. Tsk, it seems that some people will be disappointed ”

Lou Zhentao was also happy when he heard this and said: "At the meeting just held this year, many effective measures were proposed, such as the necessary shutdown and merger of the industrial front, and the reduction of state-owned industrial enterprises this year on the basis of the reduction in 2001." More than 18,000. From January to August this year, 8.5 million workers were reduced, and the urban population was reduced by 10 million.

Amazing, amazing. Not everyone has the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist. China is still an agricultural country through and through. The people are too poor to sell their industrial products, so why support so many non-agricultural people?

It is too timely to turn around now, and send it back to the countryside to develop and expand agriculture. Let’s stabilize agriculture first and then talk about other things. and……"

The old man lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his excitement, and said: "The superiors have also severely criticized some comrades for neglecting the united front work in recent years, fostering pride and complacency, and rejecting outsiders. The unity and cooperation of people are very detrimental to the cause of socialism and must be resolutely corrected. The day after the meeting, someone came to see me, hoping that I could provide some opinions on related work..."

Li Yuan was taken aback, and said, "Dad, you didn't say anything, did you?"

Seeing Li Yuan's performance, Lou Zhentao and Tan Yuemei looked at each other and said with a smile: "How about it? Let me just say that my uncle has a lot of things in his belly, right?"

Tan Yuemei smiled and said, "Don't worry, your father didn't say anything."

Lou Zhentao sighed and said: "It has changed too fast, how can I dare to talk nonsense? I only said that I have been away from front-line work for many years, and I dare not make any nonsense. This is not in line with the old man's truth-seeking. I am older and my health is not good. , but I am willing to donate my family property to support the country and tide over the difficulties together."

Li Yuanle said: "They don't dare to close this stall. They are just trying to unite."

Lou Zhentao nodded and said: "Yes, it's rare that I dare not accept it..."

After saying something profound, he looked at Li Yuan and said, "What do you mean, you are not optimistic about this turn?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't have anything good or bad. Ordinary people can't afford it. But as Dad said just now, the changes are too fast. If you really want to go out, you might as well wait for a year and take another look. Too late. You are already this age, there is no need to take risks. Let those who want to make big profits take the lead, and you should wait and see what happens."

When Lou Zhentao heard this, he didn't say anything for a while. Although his expression didn't change much, the hesitation in his eyes was obvious.

Compared with when he had great power and mobilized massive resources in his hands, he is no different from being in jail now...

How could he not be tempted by the opportunity to come out again?

The original plan was that if the higher-ups could pay three visits to the thatched cottage, he would come forward and return to work, which would be considered a good story.

If not, he wouldn't have said anything about donating his family's fortune.

Donate part of your family property and vote for it, and the benefits you will receive will be ten times or a hundred times this.

Don’t you see Tongrentang Lejia?

Even the old Lejia house has been donated, but in the industrial and commercial circles of Sijiu City, who has the reputation of Lejia?

But Li Yuan's words are not unreasonable. Things have changed too quickly. If there is another turning point, I will fall into it...

Lou Xiu, who had been silent all this time, said softly: "Dad, have you forgotten what we said about the Le family before? The Le family will definitely lose."

Li Yuan looked at his eldest sister in amazement. He knew that the Le family would definitely end because he had watched "The Mansion Gate" and knew some of the history of the Le family.

But right now, who among the merchants in Forty-Nine City doesn’t envy Roca?

The previous speculations were just speculations. Lou Xiu was able to identify it, which shows his intelligence.

Lou Zhentao was also startled, then nodded slowly and said: "Okay, since you all say so, then I will pretend to be sick for two more years, and the whole family will be safe."

Tan Yuemei said to Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, your second brother wrote from Guangdong Province, saying that he followed your advice and went to Guangdong Province to see Mr. Zhong Yuchi for gastric troubles. He was really much better! He said that he had preconceived ideas before. I'm sorry for being biased, but Chinese medicine is indeed scientific and effective.

Ouch, I really hope the country can get better. Then the family can be reunited again. It would be great. "

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, I will!"

The decisive tone made Tan Yuemei laugh happily.

She knew that her husband and uncle still had something to say, so she called her two daughters and grandson upstairs.

Sure enough, after they went upstairs, Lou Zhentao asked Li Yuanzi: "Yuanzi, when you go to the Northeast this time, do you confiscate some old ginseng, tiger bones and so on?"

Hey, this old six!

Li Yuan was amused in his heart, but said regretfully on his face: "No, I haven't had a day off, I have been seeing doctors all the time."

Lou Zhentao looked regretful and said: "There are many mountains and forests over there, a lot of tigers, and a lot of wild ginseng. It's a pity that some of them will be confiscated."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Actually, there are not that many. There was a survey in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was found that there were more than 400 Siberian tigers. By 1955, the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had gone deep into the forest area to investigate, and the stock of Siberian tigers had already been There are less than two hundred. The fighting has become more fierce in recent years, so it is probably even less."

Who would have thought that by the time the survey was conducted again in 1974, the number would have reached single digits.

By 1999, the international survey team traveled in Northeast China for more than two months and discovered a total of five Siberian tigers...

Ordinary people could not and could not afford tiger bones, so the big shots wanted them, so they started to fight for them.

This is not only true in China, but also in Lao Maozi’s side.

Not to mention South Korea, the last Siberian tiger became extinct after being killed by Little Japan in 1922.

Li Yuan had previously asked someone to collect tiger bones. Li Huaide and Lou Zhentao collected a total of seven or eight pairs. He collected another three pairs in the northeast and shot a big cat himself.

If he continues like this, I wonder if he will become the person with the largest collection of wild tiger bones in the future.

…

"The eldest daughter is following you again?"

After watching his daughter and son-in-law's family of four leave, Lou Zhentao always felt a little uncomfortable and asked his wife.

Tan Yuemei said: "Tangyuan has been sleeping with my aunt for the past two years. Xiao'e is a big mother. Once, she lifted her feet and took the child out of bed. Xiuxiu will not let her take care of her again."

Lou Zhentao said: "It doesn't seem like a big deal if it continues like this."

How can a sister-in-law live in her brother-in-law's house all the time? If relatives and friends find out about it, they will gossip about it.

Tan Yuemei said: "Xiuxiu lives very well with Xiao'e. She likes her nephew Tangyuan very much. What did she look like two years ago? She was too thin and depressed all day long. After bringing Tangyuan, she got better and better. Now. If we really call her back, what if she becomes sad again? "

Lou Zhentao said softly: "Why do you think I want to leave the mountain? Don't I know that things change too fast and are easy to repeat? The man from the Wan family is jumping up and down now. He is still jumping up and down at his age. He went to the yamen and said he would work hard. He died to develop the economy for socialism.

If he really takes power, his revenge on us will be fierce. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Before liberation, Wanjia was stronger than ours. Later, the spies blew up their electric power plant, and his three sons failed to live up to expectations, so he became depressed. But if he really makes a comeback, then... Wan Xiaonian dies outside, and he will definitely record this grudge on our family. "

Tan Yuemei was startled and said: "Oh, what can we do? Wan Xiaonian is actually dead... If you die, just die, you deserve to die! Lao Lou, have you told Yuanzi about this? You have to Find someone to discuss it with, it’s no different now than it used to be.”

loud A group of people. Although the power plant was torn apart after the bombing, there are still a few that can be used. Our family has them, and Wan’s family may not have them. How can I not give Yuanzi a warning? "

Tan Yuemei said: "What did Yuanzi say?"

Lou Zhentao twitched the corners of his lips and said, "He said he knew."

Tan Yuemei also blinked and said, "That's it?"

Lou Zhentao couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's it. Tell me, a young doctor has a higher profile than me."

Tan Yuemei said: "Do you think Yuanzi didn't understand what was going on? Do you think Wan Dehai's revenge and quarreling with his neighbors in the courtyard are the same thing, so he is not afraid?"

Lou Zhentao said: "That's not the case, this kid has tricks. He also asked me, if the Wan family's old house is donated, will it be like the Le family, who won the support of the nobles after donating the old house. I told him It is said that the Wan family’s mansion has been taken over a long time ago, and now the Wan family lives in Houmao Hutong. Although it can be regarded as a mansion, it is far worse than before..."

…

"Wow, what a great man's daughter."

After returning home, after Li Yuan told everything about meeting Gao Weihong and Lu Duoduo in the Northeast, Lou Xiao'e exclaimed.

Lou Xiu smiled and said: "That is a real scholarly family. Both brothers graduated from Yenching University. One is the dean and the other is the principal. The Gao family is also great, the principal of Harbin Institute of Technology. Yuanzi, your nephews also Don't take the technical secondary school entrance examination. It would be better to go to university. Most people from technical secondary schools have to go to factories, and those who graduate from university can go directly to central ministries and commissions."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "One generation has a mission for one generation, let alone the small ones, and the big ones, I can support them to go to technical secondary schools. I am not greedy, and I don't expect the whole family It’s not ridiculous to be able to enter the center.”

Not only is it outrageous, it is a way to die.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care about this, she asked: "Are those Harbin specialties prepared by Gao Weihong? You have only known each other for a few days."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Yes. But don't worry too much, she feels my respect for her."

Lou Xiao'e wondered: "Why do you respect her?"

Li Yuandao: "Because of her husband, for the sake of the strength and stability of the motherland, he has been working in an extremely cold and desolate place and risking all kinds of dangers since he got married. All of us should remember this kind of person. Wei Hong Although she complains from time to time, I can hear that she can understand and support her husband's work. This is very rare, and can even be described as great. So you don't have to worry about what I will have with her... I Although I am a man and I have lustful thoughts, I am not a beast.”

Lou Xiao'e said "Oh" and scolded: "I didn't say anything, how could you...how could you say that about yourself?"

Lou Xiu was speechless for this sister. If she came to ask, she would ask, "You also have a lustful heart. If not this Gao Weihong, where are you?"

It's not like Lou Xiao'e. Before the man even swore the curse, he felt extremely distressed and even protected her.

But she couldn't say this, otherwise it would cause trouble. She said, "Will that Lu Duoduo come to our house for treatment?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "No, I'll go there. Well, let's go to Tsinghua University as a family on the weekend. Let's take our son to see things and get some smoke in advance..."

Lou Xiu smiled and said, "Will you go to Tsinghua University in the future?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Who knows what will happen in the future. Just go and see, the place where Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote about the moonlight in the lotus pond, and the place where Liang Qichao, Chen Yinke, Zhao Yuanren, Li Ji, and Wang Guowei gathered together... "That was the last master of Chinese studies.

Lou Xiu looked at Lou Xiao'e. She knew that her younger sister had always dismissed these literary works, but at this moment, Lou Xiao'e was looking at Li Yuan with admiration.

Lou Xiu suddenly realized that men should all like this feeling of being worshiped...

Turning to look at Li Yuan again, it was good.
