Chapter 337 Stop Talking Nonsense, You Don’t Deserve It!

Night falls.

The Li family manor is becoming more and more lively.

Li Si had just arrived with Zhang Dongya, Liu Xuefang, and Zhang Guoqing's family, and Li Xing also came back with his two girlfriends, He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan.

He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan were originally going shopping with Nie Yu. After receiving the news from their families in the afternoon, they asked Nie Yu to go back first.

The troubles of the elders, it’s hard for the daughter-in-law who hasn’t married yet to come back and watch the fun... although she really wants to see it.

By the lake, Li Yuan and his three sons had already built a bonfire and put on several large plates of barbecue skewers.

Beef, sheep, chicken, fish, shrimp, crab, oysters, squid and other delicacies are available.

If you want to bake these things deliciously, you don't just need hands. Most of them need to be cooked in advance. After removing the fishy smell, you also need to marinate some secret ingredients to add flavor.

Gao Weihong, who came back a step ahead, was sitting next to her, holding a cute baby in one hand.

She wanted to take action, but the three children of Fugui, Jixiang, and Ruyi were too energetic and rushed to do all the work. She had no chance at all, so she had to help take care of the baby.

Fortunately, the two twins, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, are so beautiful and lovable that Gao Weihong likes them very much.

Seeing so many people coming back, Gao Weihong stood up and made way for Zhang Dongya to sit down.

Zhang Dongya refused to accept the offer, so Li Si went to get a deck chair and invited the master to enjoy it.

Li Xing took the initiative to take over his father's position. After studying for so many years, although the baked food is still not as delicious, it is not much different.

Li Yuan sat down next to Zhang Dongya and said with a smile: "Master, where did you go shopping today?"

Zhang Dongya smiled and said: "My second disciple, Sun Xiaoshun, took me to a nightclub to meet him."

"puff!"

He Pingshi, who was drinking water, turned her head and sprayed it to the side without swallowing it. After cleaning up her mess, she looked at Li Si angrily and shouted, "Xiao Si?"

She couldn't even imagine Li Si arranging two hot girls for Zhang Dongya.

After He Pingshi was three years old, she spent almost one-third to half of her time in the Li family every year, and she no longer regarded herself as an outsider.

It was this sincere feeling that made Lou Xiao'e love her so much, and also made Li Yuan recognize his daughter-in-law even though he disliked King He Gambling so much.

Cao Yongshan hurriedly comforted her: "Xiao Si has grown up, and he must have his own ideas and won't mess around."

Li Sili said confidently: "That's right! I took my master and aunt to my nightclub to watch boxing, so I just stopped and took a rest. With aunt here, do I dare to do anything wrong?"

If there were only Master and Zhang Guoqing, he might be able to make arrangements.

Liu Xuefang's serious face made the children at home somewhat frightened, especially when her father Li Yuandu respected her very much.

Zhang Dongya smiled and said: "After resting, I went to Kowloon Walled City again. Tsk, tsk, it's an eye-opener."

Zhang Guoqing nodded with emotion and said: "It is really a decadent and degenerate capitalist society. It is in dire straits and dire straits. But the food stalls are delicious, but they are a bit expensive. Twenty yuan, tsk tsk!"

He Pingshi's anger that had just subsided started to rise again, and she said angrily: "You asked me to ask Master and the others to eat at a food stall for 20 yuan after asking me for 100,000 yuan?!"

Zhang Guoqing almost fell to his knees, ten...one hundred thousand yuan?

Do you want to eat dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder?

Li Si hurriedly took a step back and explained: "Sister-in-law, it's not my fault. It's Master and Brother Guoqing who want to see what life is like for the people at the bottom. I originally wanted to invite Master and Auntie at noon. I wanted to have a seafood buffet on the top floor of the Miramar Hotel, but they refused and wouldn't even let me in. I had no choice but to go to the food stalls on the street. But it's not just a one-time treat, I'm going to Ocean Park to see sea lions tomorrow. Well. It may not be enough..."

He Pingshi laughed angrily and said: "Buying sea lions is enough! If I ask for a box lunch tomorrow, you will be dead!"

Li Si is going to the United States soon, and this money is considered as a year's pocket money from her.

Seeing the benefit of 100,000 yuan, Li Si raised his hands above his head, cupped his fists and saluted.

In any case, he has already felt the benefits of having two sisters-in-law.

How could he have obtained such a large sum of pocket money from He Pingshi before?

After having an extra sister-in-law, this sister-in-law obviously feels the pressure...

Li Si was secretly happy, thinking that if he could introduce another one to his eldest brother...but then he quickly shook his head and threw this whimsical idea away.

If his elder brother had such fancy ideas, there would be no need for his help.

Besides, three sisters-in-law might be like three monks, not to mention one hundred thousand yuan, not even one thousand yuan.

Zhang Dongya smiled and said: "It was our idea. We wanted to see if capitalism is really that good."

If capitalism is really so good, then why did they shed their blood and sacrifices back then?

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Master, what do you think after reading it?"

Zhang Dongya said: "I went to the Kowloon Walled City... let's not talk about that place. It's a mess and not a place for good people. Later I went to the squatter area and found out that there are so many poor people in Hong Kong Island."

If it hadn't been for a round of shopping today, the old man's Taoist heart would have been broken.

Not to mention Li Yuan's family, they lived in a palace and the food was better than the royal meal.

Even in the canteen of the factory in front, the food is very rich, with fish and meat for every meal, and everyone's salary is higher than that of an eighth-level worker.

If Hong Kong Island were like this, then Zhang Dongya would really... his lifelong heart of red glory would be shaken.

Li Yuan laughed and said: "If you go to Sham Shui Po again and see the living conditions of the caged residents, you will feel that the ordinary people in our mainland, at least the comrades workers, still live with dignity."

Zhang Dongya asked: "What is a cage dweller?"

Li Yuan gestured and said: "A place the size of a single bed is caged with wires, just like a dog cage. There is a home inside. Twenty iron cages can be squeezed into one room."

Zhang Dongya was surprised and said: "Is there such a thing?"

In Sijiu City, no matter which street leader dares to let the people in his jurisdiction live in iron cages, they will end up in bad luck every minute.

Even if the mainland is so eager for foreign investment in the next few years that it will not hesitate to return some private houses confiscated in the past, the prerequisite is that tenants are not allowed to be forced to move out. They can only leave when they have a house and they are willing to leave.

Wang Shixiang’s Fangjiayuan courtyard was not able to be taken back until his death because of this...

Regardless of whether it is justified or not, there is no other country in the world that can be like China when it comes to protecting the survival rights of the people at the lowest level.

Zhang Guoqing wondered: "Godfather, the wages in Hong Kong are so high. An ordinary worker's monthly salary is higher than the annual salary of an eighth-level worker at home. Can you afford to rent a house even if you can't afford it?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "The population of Hong Kong Island is now five million, but the total number of workers is only about 500,000. If all the other messy jobs are added up, it would be good to have 800,000. Those who have jobs can probably support them." The population of more than three million to less than four million has been reduced. There are still more than one million old, weak, sick, disabled, or unlucky people who can neither find a job nor have anyone to support them. Hong Kong Island is not like the mainland. With so much land, you can still go to the countryside if you don't have a job in the city. Although there are rural areas on Hong Kong Island, they are all owned by owners and cannot be used to eat in a big pot.

Therefore, there is no paradise anywhere. Even in countries with highly developed economies, there are still poor people.

In Hong Kong Island, young people as old as National Day, if they don't study hard and go to college, will most likely join a club in order to find a parking job or a job as a waiter in a teahouse and restaurant. "

Zhang Guoqing laughed sheepishly, he had never gone to college.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "After tomorrow, we will have people come to our house as guests. Master and Sister Xuefang will take a look at it and decide which one they like. The house and car are ready..."

"Genko."

Liu Xuefang shook her head and said: "First find him a dormitory and give him a job. For such an old man, if he wants a house and a car, he can earn it by himself."

Zhang Dongya also nodded and said: "Don't waste it."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Then let's lend him money and buy it first. The price of the house will only get higher and higher in the future, and it will become more and more unaffordable. It's not worth it. Don't think that I will give you everything." The platform provided by him is high, and the requirements are naturally high. Ordinary young people are considered excellent if they can buy a house and a car on their own, but if you look at Tangyuan, he doesn’t need to consider a RV, and he will soon become a little old man from exhaustion. One day At night, he is busier than me. The starting point is high, and the pressure is greater."

Liu Xuefang said distressedly: "You still have the nerve to say that you can't blame Tangyuan for everything. He is not yet twenty years old."

Li Xing handed a handful of cooked grilled squid to Cao Yongshan and asked her to take it to Zhang Dongya and other elders. He smiled and said: "Auntie, please don't think like this. In fact, my father has done all the big things. In the end, He did all the hard work, and I just sat back and enjoyed the results, doing some ordinary things step by step... Actually, I can't even talk about this, I'm still learning.

Some time ago, many people praised me for being smart and capable, and I almost took it seriously. As a result, when something happens, all the secrets are exposed and nothing is revealed. People who once spoke highly of me would not even meet me and could not borrow a penny. When dad comes back, everything will be solved within one day.

If I still rely on dad for everything, I will be worse than Adou. "

Zhang Dongya looked at Li Xingle with appreciation and said with a smile: "People, the most rare thing is to recognize yourself clearly. It is difficult to have self-knowledge. Tangyuan, you understand better than many adults. But don't compare with your father, who is like him?" Can you compare with him? Just like those heroes with special merits on the battlefield in the north, most of them are unreasonably strong. There are many children who are not even older than you, and they have established themselves as soon as they enter the battlefield. Many people who have been fighting for a lifetime are not. Achieving great military exploits. How can this be justified?

But the victory on the northern battlefield was ultimately won by the charge of thousands of warriors who were not afraid of death. Just be yourself.

Your father is so lazy, but you are so diligent and hardworking, sooner or later you will surpass him. "

Li Yuan laughed and said: "That's the best. In fact, what does it matter if it exceeds or not? As long as they live their own lives. Success in career sometimes does not mean happiness in life. I can I don’t expect my son to make Datang Group number one in the world. If he becomes number one but his life is not happy, what’s the point? As long as life is not wasted and he can look back on the past with a clear conscience when he grows old, that’s enough. Comparing past and present, It’s so vulgar.”

Cao Yongshan said with emotion: "Uncle, Victor and the others are so lucky to have a father like you."

He Pingshi nodded in agreement: "That's right, he's much better than my father. He always wants to be the first in everything and be the boss."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "What about you?"

He Pingshi was ashamed, hesitated, and admitted: "Me too."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Continuous self-improvement has always been the best character. Enjoying life is not inconsistent with working hard. As long as you do not harm others, benefit yourself, and do not harm others." He said to Zhang Dongya, Liu Xuefang, and Gao Weihong: "This girl's qualifications are no lower than Tangyuan. She and Angel are both strong and soft. They are the most precious gift God has given to Tangyuan, and they are also the luck of his life."

The three of them had no experience in this kind of thing and didn't know what to say, so they all smiled and nodded.

He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan were extremely moved. They were really lucky to meet such a good father-in-law.

Li Si felt sour in his heart. It would be great if his father could help him like this. Then he could find two second sisters-in-law for Fugui. No, three of them would not be a problem...

…

"The Lou family is not bad."

After Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu left Nie Yu's room, Li Cuiyun said with emotion.

With Erlou's mediation, Li Cuiyun, Nie Yu, and Li Qingniang were finally able to talk peacefully.

Nie Yu lives on the east side of the second floor and can see the sea view through the window.

Li Cuiyun is extremely satisfied with her daughter's living environment, which is almost like the princess's castle in children's stories.

Nie Yu sat on Simmons' big bed and hummed, "That's right, otherwise I wouldn't kiss my daughter."

There was a sneer on Xiao Qi's face. After all, he was his biological child. He looked like a child and said, "Who asked Big Mom to treat me the best?"

Li Cuiyun quickly stopped the rivalry between mother and daughter and said first in the middle: "Are you planning to continue like this for the rest of your life?"

Nie Yu was surprised and said, "It's too late for me to remarry now, right?"

Li Cuiyun said, "Bah, bah," and said, "I mean, you still have to have a status..."

Nie Yu shook her head repeatedly and said: "Mom, when you go back, tell your family that I will pursue celibacy in this life because I plan to dedicate my life to Chen..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. You don't deserve it."

After all, Li Cuiyun is the editor-in-chief of a children's publishing house, and at least he has a certain bottom line, so he scolded him unhappily.

Nie Yu said angrily: "Qin Daxue talks about her every day, why does everyone praise her? Do you believe what she says?"

Li Cuiyun seemed to have heard a joke and said amusedly: "Can you compare with her?"

Xiao Qi also laughed "ha" in amusement, her laughter seemed to be full of ridicule...

Nie Yu was really angry now. He slapped the bed and sat upright and said loudly and seriously: "Why can't I compete with her?"

Li Cuiyun saw that his girl was really anxious and began to reason: "Comrade Qin Xue has been working in the countryside for more than 20 years. During the three difficult years, he came back to the countryside from the Dasheng Haigong Office to lead the farmers to drill wells and solve the difficulties. , her work achievements are obvious to all. In the following 20 years, she was actually doing rural work, and she still achieved results in such a chaotic era. Who wouldn't praise her?

At the top, no matter which side, everyone loves her very much. Back then, the lady almost took her as her goddaughter, but Qin Xue resolutely refused. How noble and honorable was this at the time? Nowadays, it is also called noble ambition and pure nature. He is destined to be liked by others, and now Mr. Cao still loves and protects him.

Of course, now that she has become a pioneer in reform, the more conservative old people are not happy with it, but even so, no one has any doubts about her ability, talent, loyalty and dedication to Chen. You don't take Xiaoqi with you because you are afraid of choking on the milk and not being able to take it well. People don't take care of their children because they don't have to delay work. Tell yourself, is this comparable?

Don't imitate others randomly and make others laugh, and the old man will be unhappy. Because even the old man has a high opinion of this female cadre who does hard work.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for your messy things that delayed others, I don't know what heights they would have reached. How can you compare with them? "

Nie Yu was dejected. He couldn't compare to others in giving birth to children, and even his reputation was far inferior.

Li Cuiyun felt relieved when she saw this, and then said: "But as a mother, I really don't want you to be like her. Speaking of which, it's thanks to you guys who are here to guide her. Otherwise, tell me, what is her life like? How pitiful are her children? That is not a life that a woman should live in. It is so desolate and desolate. She does not even raise her children, and her heart is like a stone in ice water. You really want to be like this In that case, I might as well stop living.”

Nie Yu became even more depressed: "So, that person is the one who is the most popular."

Women are not fools, especially when it comes to emotions, how sensitive they are.

Li Yuan was good to each of them, but they couldn't tell which one he preferred.

Everyone just thinks that the man is pitiful, and they can't see him twice in a year. Let's just prefer him more.

After Li Cuiyun was speechless for a moment, he persuaded: "Forget it, it's really not easy for her. I went to the old man's place for New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, and I heard your uncles and others talking about this female general, saying that she has been leading people around recently to support her. Pig experience. And made a joke..."

After all, they are a family. Nie Yu's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Li Cuiyun smiled and said: "It's no big deal. It's just that at the city's year-end meeting, someone kept sneezing and said that there was a smell like a pig pen in the meeting room? But Qin Xue laughed and stood up and apologized, She said she was in a hurry and didn't have time to go home to take a shower and change clothes. Only then did everyone know that she and her team had gone round and round, inspecting pig pens and pig raising experts in many surrounding communes, calculating costs, summarizing experience, and... We plan to send pig raising experts from the Animal Husbandry Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to give lectures in various communes. They say that in the future, while using large pig farms to ensure the stability of the meat basket, we must also ensure the breeding interests of individual farmers.

After hearing this, the old man praised himself: He cares about the people, this is the true beauty of the Yangchun Baixue.

Tell me, who can say anything else? Even the gray-haired old comrades who had just returned could only applaud her. "

Those old comrades who have just returned to work are not easy to take care of. They have suffered so many years of grievances and the last and most powerful years of their lives were buried under the bullpen. Now they have finally come back. Even if they are not energetic enough to do their jobs, they can still find faults and find problems. Bar?

They have high qualifications, great achievements in the past, and special status, which has caused headaches for the heads of many units.

Nie Yu lay on the bed with his head up and said feebly: "Forget it, forget it. If you have a sharp heart, just be sharp. Who can do this..."

Speaking of this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Everyone thinks he is great, right? She has seen this person’s true form!

He has ideals, but he is also a temperamental person, meowing...

Li Cuiyun didn't want to keep mentioning others, looked at Xiao Qi and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that grandma would have such a precious grandson all of a sudden, so smart and beautiful!"

Xiao Qi giggled and said, "Thank you, grandma!"

Although she still feels strange, she is her biological mother after all, so she can still feel close to her in her heart.

Li Cuiyun pulled Xiao Qi with joy on his face, but what he said next made Xiao Qi feel that his Taoism was still too shallow. Li Cuiyun asked: "Xiao Yu, are you still alive?"

What is the difference between this and "Are you ready to have another son?"

Nie Yu glanced at her daughter, whose face suddenly fell, laughed three times heartily, and then said: "Why give birth? If I don't give birth, they say I favor sons over daughters. If I really give birth to a son, she won't be able to read it." For the rest of my life? Forget it, just let it be."

Li Cuiyun also noticed Xiao Qi's anger and hurriedly comforted him: "With a brother here, someone will make the decision if he is bullied in the future."

Xiao Qi was simply surprised: "Grandma, I have six brothers, and a younger brother, Xiao Ba. My father said that there are more than thirty cousins ​​in my hometown. Who dares to bully me?!"

Li Cuiyun was speechless for a moment...

Nie Yu reminded Xiaoqi: "You should talk to grandma properly." Then he said to Li Cuiyun: "Besides, Tangyuan has two girlfriends. Maybe she will give birth to a child one day. I will be a grandma, and I still have a relationship with Pangpang. It's embarrassing for them to get pregnant together. Forget it, let's not bother."

Just when Li Cuiyun was about to say something, she heard a burst of singing coming from outside the window. She was just wondering when Xiao Qi screamed with surprise on his face: "Ah! Dad and the others are going to sing!" After that, he ran away!

Nie Yu also stood up with a bang, pulled Li Cuiyun and said with a smile: "Mom, let's go for a walk, let's go out and play!"

Li Cuiyun said inexplicably: "You also sing and bring a trumpet... Are you so good at playing?"

Nie Yu laughed and said: "Of course!"

…

"We are swaying in the boat together, exchanging vows to celebrate the dawn of spring

The two hearts invite each other to take photos, willing to turn into seagulls and sing softly to please the mood.

Looking at each other with my sister under the bright sun, I hope that our white heads will never be separated..."

On the lakeside terrace, He Pingshi sang seriously with a microphone.

Ruyi was playing the electronic piano accompaniment.

This is an interlude in "The Ghost Story" released in 1974, and subsequently became a popular love song in Hong Kong for an era.

Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu in the audience cheered and waved to the melody.

After He Ping finished singing her poem, everyone applauded enthusiastically, even though her singing was mediocre.

He Pingshi invited Lou Xiao'e to sing: "Mommy, come sing a song!"

Lou Xiao'e naturally didn't have stage fright. She went up to the terrace and smiled at Ruyi: "Good son, "Smoke Again"!"

Ruyi is very talented at playing the piano, while Jixiang prefers to play the erhu.

Although the two brothers fight with Fugui all day long, they are actually very good at music.

Even though Fugui is not good at music, he is very good at calligraphy.

The children in the family each have their own hobbies.

When Lou Xiao'e sang Teresa Teng's song, Xiao Qi, Nie Yu, and Li Cuiyun came.

After the people below the stage introduced each other, they sat down to eat and listen to Lou Xiao'e singing.

She and He Pingshi are really mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They don’t have all the five notes, but they sang happily and everyone cheered enthusiastically.

Lou Xiao'e called her name: "Sister Xuefang, come sing a song!"

This almost cost Liu Xuefang her life. When had the people in the mainland ever played with this?

She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it, I really can't."

Seeing that her face was turning red, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Sister Xuefang doesn't know how to do it, forget it, sister Wei Hong will definitely know how to do it, let's have a sister Wei Hong."

Gao Weihong smiled and said: "I really don't know how to sing your songs. I know Ruyi but I can't play it."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "He can't play but I can."

Gao Weihong laughed in surprise: "Can you still do this?"

Lou Xiao'e laughed at the side and said: "Sister Wei Hong, Yuanzi has been playing like this in the courtyard for a long time. He led a group of people in the courtyard to sing, and the streets were shocked, and they came to praise him."

Gao Weihong smiled and said: "You still know how to play! Okay, I will sing a song..."Hymn to Heroes". Pay tribute to Mr. Zhang and sister Xuefang."

Liu Xuefang felt sad and a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't talk about me."

Li Cuiyun introduced the origin of this song to Xiao Qi...

Gao Weihong said to Li Yuan again: "You sing together, otherwise my voice will be too thin and I won't be able to sing as richly as it should."

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Sure."

"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! "

Although Li Yuan didn't use a microphone, his high-pitched male voice and Gao Weihong's female voice perfectly blended.

These two are the ones who really know how to sing, and their singing is simply lifelike.

Li Xing didn't even turn over the skewers. He looked solemnly and reverently at his father and aunt singing emotionally on the terrace. From the corner of his eye, he also noticed Zhang Dongya with tears in his eyes and Liu Xuefang and Zhang Guoqing wiping away tears...

Li Cuiyun opened her mouth and sang along, her face solemn and her eyes deep.

He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan looked at each other with somewhat moved expressions.

Of course they admit that they are Chinese. In fact, most people in Hong Kong now consider themselves Chinese, especially in the years when Bruce Lee's movies were sold out.

However, since the people of Hong Kong are also Chinese and Hong Kong Island is also China, then just love Hong Kong Island. Why should we love strangers in such a strange place?

He Pingshi also knew that Li Xing had gone to Kadoorie Farm to seek technical skills, and was also planning to send people overseas to purchase feed equipment, etc. All of these required Datang Group to pay a certain human price.

And if this continues, the price to be paid may become larger and larger in the future.

She didn't understand, why would she do this?

But at this moment, they seemed to suddenly understand something.

It turns out that the elders have such deep feelings for the poor, backward and even ignorant motherland and its people described in the newspaper! !

They love their country so much, love their nation so much, respect the heroes of the nation so much, and feel deeply proud of them.

If not, how could they sing such songs so affectionately?

"Holding the blasting tube tightly with both hands, eyes spitting out fire and blood gushing out.

Enemies rot and turn into soil, warriors turn into stars in glory

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! "

After singing the song, the applause erupted like thunder.

After Gao Weihong came down, he gave Liu Xuefang a hug. Only then did He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan remember that Liu Xuefang's husband was one of the heroes sung in this song.

The two eldest ladies from capitalist backgrounds also went up to hug Liu Xuefang, expressed their respect, and made Liu Xuefang cry...

Victory, victory!

Fugui was in charge of coaxing the guests, bringing good luck and good luck to the stage. Li Sidu was dragged up to play the suona.

Sure enough, when the tiger-headed Fugui roared out "The Big Sedan" wildly, even Liu Xuefang covered her mouth and started laughing...

The singing and laughter floated, mixed with the sound of the waves not far away, and spread into the distance.

Such a night, so charming...

…
