Chapter 374 The British Old Woman Is Coming (10,000 Words, Please Give Me a Monthly Vote!)

"Every year goes by so fast. It feels like I just left yesterday and I'm back today."

After lunch, the elder sister-in-law said with a smile as she looked at Li Yuan who was sitting under the vines talking to Li's mother in the shade.

Nie Yu had already been sent to Nie's house by Datang's car. According to Zhiguo, Nie Yuanchao had not been feeling well these past two days.

Tsk, this Xiaoliu actually often visits Nie's house during the holidays.

Even Nie Yuanchao, a stubborn old man who had always been aloof and proud, actually took him to Longquan Mountain to attend Mr. Nie's family birthday banquet.

Li Yuan was amused when he heard this. He could not imagine how the old father-in-law introduced him at that time...

The second sister-in-law said with a smile: "Can you please hurry up? Look, you are better than me in governing the country! These batches of little ones have grown up, urging us to grow old!"

Li Chi has always been silent, but he was happy to say a few more words today. He looked at his youngest brother and said, "He is the youngest, and he still looks like a young man."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Brother, have you eaten the Ginseng Yangrong Pills? Don't be reluctant to eat it. Our generation has suffered so much and suffered so much in fear. Now we see that life is becoming more and more relaxed. When things get better, we can’t grow old so quickly.”

Li Chi nodded and responded with a smile: "Eating."

Third brother Li He smiled and said, "Youngest, did you take Jixiang and Ruyi out last year?"

Li Yuandao: "Well, I went to Western Xinjiang."

The Li family all laughed in surprise, and Li's mother also asked curiously: "My youngest, what is Xijiang like? Is it all sand and rocks?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Mom, there are oasis in Western Xinjiang, and there is the Tarim River. That place is huge and very beautiful. But you are right, there is also the Great Gobi Desert. As far as you can see, it is dry land with broken land on it. Shitouzi, nothing will grow. If the conditions are better in two years, let’s go there for a trip.”

Zhiguo said: "Dad, are you still carrying the fourth brother and the fifth brother on your back at night?" He knew that his father was carrying the third brother on his back like this.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Otherwise, we can't go back and forth in two months... What, you want to leave by yourself? Do you know how long the Long March lasted?" Looking at his son's expression, he guessed what he was thinking.

Zhiguo nodded and said: "Twelve months and seven days. However, that is a large army moving forward. We can go into battle lightly and we should be able to go much faster. In uninhabited places, you can run freely. I can't run." When the time comes, please help me carry me. Dad, I want to give it a try, okay?"

Li Yuan smiled and rubbed his son's head and said, "You have said so, what else can dad say?"

Zhiguo looked at his father, raised his chin slightly, and smiled intimately.

Li Yuan also smiled. In terms of appearance alone, this son looked more like him than Li Xing. More importantly, Zhi Guo's eyes looked like his mother's, and he was even prettier than Li Yuan.

Li Yuan saw the proud look on his eighth uncle's face and chuckled at the side: "Eighth uncle, you don't know how rare it is to govern the country in everyone's hearts now. Last year he celebrated his birthday at the Lou Mansion because Many friends came to bless him, but there was nothing he could do, and Sanlihe couldn't sit down. As a result, the girls from the top houses almost started fighting, and they all said that they were Zhiguo's best friends. Guess how Zhiguo resolved it. ? Hey, Uncle Eight, let me tell you, even you may not be better than your son!"

Li Yuan chuckled: "You know nothing! My son is better than me, that's what I am most proud of. What are you talking about? Come on, tell me."

Li Yuanle said: "Zhiguo told them that he will invite them to do meaningful things together every Sunday in the future. Whoever can persevere in the end will be the best friend. Guess where Zhiguo took them? "

Seeing his son looking at him, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Orphanage or nursing home?"

Zhiguo laughed and gave his father a thumbs up!

Li Yuan was even more happy and said: "Uncle Eighth, it has to be you! Sure enough, Jiang is still hot, no wonder you can marry... Wow!"

Before he finished speaking, a grain of dirt flew into his throat, and he almost fainted from nausea.

His father, Li Hai, laughed and said, "You deserve it!"

Li Yuan quickly adjusted himself, his face remained as usual, as if nothing had happened, and he said seriously: "Uncle Eighth, you are a wise man! Why don't you just take us to those two places! Go to the orphanage first. You also know that usually Those who were sent in were either girls or the sick or disabled. The atmosphere inside was... very dull. How could those wealthy ladies do the job of taking care of people? Four out of ten left in anger and went to a nursing home. , Hey, that tastes really bad... ugh!”

Another piece of rubbish flew into his mouth.

The old man in this big yard, the bastard dislikes the smell of the old man.

The fifth sister-in-law yelled angrily: "That's right!! Why did you give birth to such a heartless thing!"

Zhiguo looked at his eighteenth brother in surprise. He was not usually at this level.

Li Yuan said to Zhiguo with a mournful face: "Brother Thirty-Eighth, you don't know how much pressure we brothers are under when facing Uncle Eighth. We are different from you..."

Zhiguo laughed angrily, rubbed his face and said, "Brother Eighteen, I can't save you."

Is this saying that my father is good to his own son but bad to his nephew?

Li Yuan suddenly woke up and said the wrong thing again. He jumped up and said, "Uncle Eighth, I mean we have not behaved well in governing the country! If you don't believe me, ask Fourth Brother, he said so!"

Li Yuan smiled half-heartedly and said: "It seems that your eighth aunt has been busy away from the capital this year. She has not had much impact on the governance of the country, but it has had a great impact on you. Haven't you always wanted to do something down there? I will make it happen for you. Look back. Go to Gansu Province and become the director of the Archives Bureau.”

When Li Yuan heard that it was a sunny day, a loud thunder suddenly exploded in his ears, and everyone swayed...

What did he hear...

Li Cheng, who strode in from outside, laughed loudly and said, "Eighteenth, go to the Archives Bureau to be the director? Uncle Eighth, you have a good idea."

Li Yuan sat there, turned his face, looked at Li Cheng who came to him with a clean and refreshing breath, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said with a smile: "My aura has changed. Is this a promotion?"

Li Cheng met with his family, took the little Ma Zha sent by Zhi Guo, patted Zhi Guo on the shoulder, then sat down next to Li Yuan, nodded and said: "I was promoted, and I took advantage of vigorously promoting young cadres. Thanks to Uncle Eight who drank cold water and sent us to school, which laid the foundation for us.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Cheluluzi has been saying this over and over again for so many years, don't say it anymore. No, Shiba just complained that I treat the country differently than I treat you..."

Li Cheng's face suddenly sank when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at Shiba who was trembling a little.

Mother Li tried to dissuade the fight: "Shiba is not evil, I'm just joking..."

Seeing that Li Cheng had stood up, Zhiguo stopped in the middle and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, dad is joking with you, and he is also teasing Brother Eighteenth."

Li Yuan was almost in tears and said: "Fourth brother, I am so wronged. I just said that governing the country is different from our brothers. He has great talent!"

Li Cheng ignored him, sat down again and looked at Li Yuan. One test confirmed that Li Yuan was not crazy.

Li Yuan warned: "Fourth brother, don't be careless. You are the only one in Beijing. When your eighth aunt is not here, you must keep an eye on the eighteenth and the others. Don't let them cause trouble, especially regarding the relationship between men and women." Wrong. The names of several people have been mentioned in the Hong Kong newspapers, and they are all top-notch children. They say that their lifestyle is going to explode sooner or later. You must watch how hard you, eighth uncle, have worked for this family. Ten years, I don’t ask you for anything in return, but you can’t let us white-haired people send away a black-haired person first, right? That would be your biggest unfilial duty, remember?”

The Li family were all shocked. They originally thought that the youngest was displeased with Shiba, a laity, and was fixing the problem, but they didn't expect that there was such a risk behind it.

Li Cheng nodded first, then took a breath and said, "Did this appear in the Hong Kong newspaper? Uncle Eight..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Mei Changning didn't even press the button and asked me for help. I didn't care, and indeed I couldn't care about it. Hong Kong Island is not here. If Shiba has provoked several girlfriends at the same time, You don’t have to tell me, I’m afraid I can’t help but slap him to death, just tell your eighth aunt later.”

Li Yuan's face turned a little pale, and he felt guilty and did not dare to raise his head.

Li Gui looked at Li Yuan and said, "Is it time to marry Shiba?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "He can handle this matter by himself. If he wants to live in style for another two years, he can live in style for two more years, as long as he acts a little more responsible." Seeing Datang's car coming back again, he stood up and said, "Dad, Mom , I have to go to the city, I still have some things to talk about, I will come back tomorrow."

The whole family stood up. Li Yuan bent down and looked at his old mother and said with a smile: "Mom, I will come back tomorrow and stay at home for two days, ah?"

Mother Li said with some reluctance: "Okay, okay..."

Li Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, I almost forgot to take it out. I brought some videos back this time. They are all new and good TV series. Do you want to watch them?"

Mother Li's originally disappointed face began to shine, like the golden mountain in the capital...

…

"Dad, just ask the driver to take me, fourth brother, and eighteenth brother to Dongzhimen Street. We will go to Datang Restaurant to discuss something with the third son of the Hong family. You can go home first."

Zhiguo said after getting in the car.

Li Yuan wondered: "Who is the third child of the Hong family?"

Li Cheng said: "That's the Hong family, the Hong family's grandson."

Li Yuan immediately knew who it was. He really said that Cao Cao came to Cao Cao. When he first ordered Li Yuan, he said that among the people reported in the newspaper, he had the highest reputation. He asked curiously: "What are you talking about with this person? What's going on? Eat based on your face?”

Li Yuan said worriedly: "This person doesn't make a living based on his face, he arranges jobs based on his face. He just graduated from the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University a year ago, and he has arranged eight people to the Datang Restaurant! The key is that the people arranged are unreliable, one by one Not only did Da Da not work, but they also used the restaurant as their home. Of course, the manager was not happy with it and resigned. Let’s talk about things today.”

Li Yuandao: "How are you going to deal with it?"

Li Yuan said: "Let's talk first. If we can't agree, I'll beat him up! I thought he was so prosperous back then, but they..."

"Shut up!"

Li Cheng couldn't stand listening anymore and cursed: "You can't speak beyond your head?"

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Isn't this just my family? I am very respectful when we meet, and I am polite to everyone."

Li Cheng didn't bother to look at him anymore and said to Li Yuan: "Uncle Eighth, no matter which unit you work in, there are always some idle people. Do you think we can just pay them some wages so that they don't have to work? Of course, only these few people can work." No more. You won’t suffer any loss. This man is very good at opening a branch in Jinmen. He can save a lot of trouble.”

This is a mature view.

Not to mention Datang, in fact, in the future, whether it is foreign investment or Hong Kong investment, let alone mainland Chinese enterprises, they will inevitably face the Cypriots.

But this cannot be said to be a Chinese characteristic, because the old American giants like employees with their own backgrounds the most, especially the public relations department, which likes to recruit such people.

Li Cheng's ideas are both advanced and realistic.

Li Yuan was still noncommittal and asked about governance: "What do you think?"

Zhi Guodao: "Dad didn't say anything about the Hong Kong newspaper before. Our family could still think that he was helping unemployed female educated youths find jobs. But now it seems that it is simply a matter of lifestyle. Datang Restaurant cannot harbor filth. There is no room for compromise in this dirty place, let him leave.”

Li Cheng smiled and said, "I know this man. He is very good-looking, very favored, and very proud. What if he turns against him?"

Zhi Guodao: "Then I will tell him that I will go to Haizi to explain the matter to their old lady. Datang Restaurant is a place where Hong Kong businessmen and foreign businessmen often go, and there is no place for messy people. People like them are the best at old people. He pretends to be nice and doesn't dare to make things clear."

Li Cheng reminded: "In governing a country, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Such scoundrels are very vindictive. After all, they are the Hong family..."

Zhiguo chuckled, looked at his father and Li Cheng and said, "What Brother Shiba just said is actually right. Now is not the past. I don't even need to use the banner of Grandma Cao and my mother. The 200 million US dollars donated by my father alone is not enough." It's enough to make the Li family stand up straight and look at this generation of yamen. The reason for warning him to go to his old lady is not to fear conflict with him, but to respect the deceased Mr. Hong. "

…

Two hours later, Sanli River.

Qin Daxue looked at Li Yuan who was carefully massaging her and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you so happy?"

Li Yuan nodded repeatedly and said: "We are talking about it with gusto! We enjoy it more than anything else!"

Seeing that he was smiling a little evilly, Qin Daxue reacted, then raised his foot and kicked him lightly, saying: "You are really... Oops!"

After being attacked, Qin Daxue quickly apologized and said, "I can't help it anymore. I have to go to the flower hall soon."

Li Yuan then let go and talked about running the country. Finally he smiled and said: "Daxue, I really want to thank you for giving me such a good son."

After hearing the ins and outs of this matter, Qin Daxue gently pinched his brows and said: "After we let go, there are too many messy things. Needless to say, these Hong Laosan are so unscrupulous. There is still chaos in society. There was a crackdown the year before, but things got better. After they relaxed a bit last year, they started again. This year, gangs have appeared in various places, and they are arrogant and domineering, and some people are lawless in the name of entrepreneurs. It’s really bad. I originally wanted to protect them and let them develop their businesses and do well. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a golden ticket for the bad elements.”

Li Yuan listened and laughed and said: "There must be loopholes that allow them to make a fortune in this way. I guess it's a headache for you."

Qin Daxue said: "Don't say it's me, they are all in a state of distress. Because of the messes below, there are many people shouting to recycle them. However, it is impossible to recycle them anyway."

After Li Yuan finished the massage and acupuncture, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them dressed up and went to the flower hall together.

…

"Xiao Li, after the British victory in the Falklands, they acted very tough and tried their best to exchange control for the whole. They also decided to come to China for negotiations in September. She showed great confidence in the media."

In the flower hall, Mr. Cao looked at Li Yuan and said.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Mr. Cao, do you hope Datang can do something?"

Cao Laodao: "The Central Committee has already made predictions for the worst-case scenario. It's no big deal. China is not Argentina, and Hong Kong Island is not the Falklands. However, a smooth handover is the best choice. So I hope you can be on Hong Kong Island Stay calm and make some contributions.”

Li Yuan said frankly: "Mr. Cao, the departure of a large number of elites is completely foreseeable and unavoidable. They are afraid of this place. This is the result of long-term exaggeration in newspapers for many years. It will definitely not be reversed in the short term. . Falling house prices, falling stock prices, and the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar are all unavoidable. What can a small Tang Dynasty do?

Cao Laodao: "I hope you will acquire more Hong Kong Island infrastructure at the right time, such as piers, bus companies, ferry companies, etc. As long as these facilities related to people's daily life are stable, Hong Kong Island will not be in chaos."

Looking forward, it seems that acquiring these companies will bring huge profits, but at the moment, it is no exaggeration to describe the situation as panic-stricken.

The British sent the Royal Navy to conquer just a Falkland Island, let alone Hong Kong Island, the Pearl of the Orient?

Many people are worried that a war will break out and Hong Kong Island will be destroyed. They are also worried that if Hong Kong Island is taken back by the mainland in advance, all properties will be confiscated.

Are these unfounded worries?

of course not!

It has only been thirty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has only been a few years since the turmoil subsided. Which Hong Kong people are not afraid of the tragic and terrifying scenes?

At this time, let Li Yuan, a big capitalist, acquire infrastructure... Once the two parties cannot reach an agreement and start fighting, regardless of success or failure, all these investments will be wiped out.

Because after the mainland has successfully recovered through war, it will never be possible for private individuals to control these industries.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Cao, you are asking me to bet all my wealth on Hong Kong Island's future."

Mr. Cao said: "Then do you dare?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "We have come to this point. Do you dare to take a gamble? But Mr. Cao, it is up to Datang to decide when it will end. To be honest, the longer it is delayed, the greater the benefits to Datang will be. . The sooner you take action, the more money will be taken away by the elites who leave Hong Kong Island and the consortium that moves out of Hong Kong Island. "

Mr. Cao nodded and said: "Okay. But don't be too late. Chaos on Hong Kong Island will not be good for anyone, right?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That's true."

…

"In fact, at the beginning, some comrades hoped to borrow a large amount of foreign exchange from Hang Seng Bank, and have the mainland purchase those facilities, and then lease them to you. The rent will repay the loan and be recovered after maturity."

After coming out of Haizi, the two walked along Chang'an Street, Qin Daxue said with a smile.

Li Yuan cursed on this long street, which had witnessed countless histories and witnessed countless turbulent times, but seemed so quiet at the moment: "Fuck me!"

Qin Daxue laughed and said: "This proposal was rejected by Gu Gu, and he criticized the comrade and told him that he could no longer hold on to the old ideas of the past."

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "It's not bad. In fact, it's already been considered progress. You didn't even ask me to contribute everything."

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "Yes, there is still a little progress. Yuanzi, when are you going to take action? The British people are planning to make it impossible. No one on our side dares to take this step. Who can Dare to be Li Hongzhang? War is even more impossible. The British don't dare to fight. Laoshan is just for them and the polar bears. Although the weapons are a bit backward, with our current firepower, the British don't dare to touch them.

Moreover, in order to win us over to resist the old Maozi, the Western world will not form a new coalition with Britain. So, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. They also know that if we really can't reach an agreement, as long as they are not honest, we can go there that afternoon and receive it completely. Mr. Li, what will you do then? "

Li Yuan smiled helplessly: "What else can we do? We can only go to Singapore. Otherwise, my four wives will be dragged out and shot?"

"Hahaha!"

After laughing for a while, Qin Daxue took Li Yuan's arm and said with a warm smile: "Don't worry, I am quite confident in the negotiations. The process may be tortuous and long, but the mainland needs the window of Hong Kong Island so much. , so in addition to the final bottom line, we will make concessions in many aspects of interests, and we will eventually reach an agreement." He paused and said, "Did you know that the mainland is about to implement family planning?"

Li Yuan sighed, nodded and said: "The Hong Kong newspaper has already reported it. Alas, I have always wanted to wait for you to be free, and we will have another baby. In this way, the two of us will have four children, perfect. Who knows Will you come here?"

Qin Daxue was so amused by this guy's shameless words again. Two people and four children are perfect. Listen, is this human talk?

She smiled and said: "Nine is good. I have two grandsons and two granddaughters. If we make people laugh again...ah, we can govern the country at home!"

Looking up at the window on the third floor, Qin Daxue said in surprise.

The couple held hands and went upstairs together. After opening the door, the smell of rice filled their nostrils, and they saw Zhiguo walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron and said happily: "Mom and dad are back!"

This scene moved both of them. Li Yuan gave a thumbs up and said, "My son is good at cooking."

Three dishes were already placed on the dining table. Zhiguo smiled and said, "Dad, you and mom go wash your hands. You'll be fine soon."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Okay."

Qin Daxue also praised: "Good son!"

The two of them went to wash their hands and came back. There were four plates of side dishes on the table: vinegar musu, squirrel fish, soft fried shrimps and kung pao chicken.

There is also a pot of seaweed and egg drop soup.

Three bowls of rice and chopsticks were set out.

Zhiguo smiled at Qin Daxue and said: "My father and I are still incomparable in our craftsmanship. When I was in Hong Kong Island, every day after school, the food my father cooked was so fragrant that our brothers were drooling. It took two pots to cook the rice. Otherwise, it’s not enough to eat. There’s a stew pot open all year round, and it’s very fragrant.”

Li Yuan said happily: "I just said that my son is like me. He is exactly the same as me in taking care of the family life! Daxue, look at how happy you are to marry me!"

Qin Daxue rolled her eyes at him, looked at Zhiguo and smiled: "Having a good son is the real happiness!"

Zhi Guo smiled, and then told everything about today's Datang Restaurant: "Hong Jiahua probably regarded me as the stupid son of a wealthy and landlord family. He first tried to establish friendship and get close to me. They are all that kind of society... very unscrupulous. Sociable. Maybe he thinks he’s very stylish.”

Qin Daxue sneered: "Isn't this what the Eight Banners disciples did back then? They ate hard-core crops, deliberately dressed in tatters, tied a yellow belt, ate rotten meat noodles, and drank high-quality drinks. It's not decent."

Zhiguo said with a smile: "You want to borrow money from me, preferably in U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars. All kinds of nice things are said to me for free. When he sees that I don't have enough money to get close to him, he won't be able to show it off. They became sarcastic, saying that our family was clinging to Grandma Cao, and they started to get rich, forgetting their family's achievements, and showing off the achievements of the older generation. "

Li Yuandao: "What did you say?"

Zhiguo smiled and said: "I called Grandma Hong in Haizili in front of him and asked when I could visit her. Although the old lady was a little surprised, she still warmly welcomed me to visit her at any time. Hong Jiahua is not really stupid. , took the people away without saying a word."

Qin Daxue snorted, but still reminded his son: "Be careful on the way to and from school."

Zhiguo said: "Don't worry, Mom, by the time Dad and I come down this trip, they will all be just playing tricks."

Li Yuan said to Qin Daxue: "If I hadn't taken this trip, my son would have already stepped into the threshold of strength with one foot, and he would be able to cross it. After this trip, he is ready to ignite a prairie fire with a single spark." , this kid will definitely have no problem dealing with those bad guys if he uses his national luck, but I’m really worried, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing...”

Zhiguo looked at his father and smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, please trust me."

After the two men looked at each other for a while, Li Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, listen to my son."

Zhiguo grinned happily, which made Qin Daxue taste it: "Those people have made a mistake, what is the use of them looking for me? I can't convince you. They should look for Zhiguo, I want to see if you reject your son At that time. People say that you are a strict father and a loving mother. It’s good for you to do everything by your children.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "My child is sensible, why should I point and point? Eat, eat, and play cards after dinner!"

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "What cards are you playing? After dinner, go to Xiaoyu's house and have a look. If you really can't go there today, she will be angry with you for a year later."

Li Yuanle said: "Do you know that Nie Yuanchao took his son to Nie's house?"

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "Of course I know. Mr. Nie knows about our relationship, so he probably turned a blind eye and regarded it as a mark of the times..."

Li Yuan laughed loudly, Qin Daxue rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Maybe Xiaoyu's father mentioned me and Zhiguo. I took Zhiguo to the group greeting banquet, and also met Mr. Nie. It happened to be Mr. Nie's birthday, I wasn't at home, so Zhiguo went to Xiaoyu's house to deliver some sea food, so I was taken there."

Zhi Guo made a point: "I really didn't know that it was Mr. Nie's birthday that day, because the people from Datang Restaurant happened to come to deliver seafood that day. After I divided some and sent them to Mama Yu's house, I found that Grandpa Nie and grandma were going out. I put down my things and was about to leave, but my grandma held me back and insisted on taking me to eat cake. I always declined, but then Grandpa Nie said angrily: Is it so embarrassing to go out with me? ."

Li Yuan said with emotion: "My son is still kind. If it were for me, I would have given him a positive answer."

Qin Daxue angrily tried to throw chopsticks at him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "The biggest advantage of my son being so smart is that he knows what a joke is."

After finishing the meal, Li Yuan asked Zhi Guodao: "Do you want to go together?"

Zhiguo hesitated and said, "Dad, I can't live there."

Li Yuanle said: "What a coincidence, I can't live there either."

Qin Daxue said angrily: "Stop trying to commit suicide! The ones over there are getting the certificate now. Let's save some dignity for the Nie family."

After hearing this, Zhiguo immediately calmed down and said: "Dad, you can go, I won't go. There are some dried seafood at home, do you want to take them over? Dad, you can't go empty-handed, right?"

Li Yuan asked strangely: "Why are you empty-handed? Can't I go with full blessings? Comrade Gechu, please don't be so materialistic!"

"..."

Qin Daxue and Zhiguo burst into laughter, and Li Yuan waved his hands and walked away gracefully.

After Li Yuan went out, Zhiguo looked at his mother with a troubled face and said, "Mom, is this okay?"

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "Ignore him, dad can do whatever he wants. But you don't want to learn from dad in terms of running the country. Your dad has unpredictable skills. I don't know how he learned it, and I have never seen him. The second one is like him. Although you are very talented, you have chosen a different path from dad, so you can’t learn. Do you understand?”

Zhiguo nodded and said with a smile, "I just think dad is so kind."

…

"Mom, oh, I'm not late, am I?"

After Li Yuan entered the living room of the north room of the Nie family courtyard, he looked at Li Cuiyun and asked with concern.

"..."

Li Cuiyun looked at the bear son-in-law with a speechless face. The faint coughing sound coming from the back room was probably stimulated.

Nie Yu quietly pinched Li Yuan's waist...

Li Yuan hurriedly picked up the small oil paper bag on his hand and said, "I'm talking about dinner! I traveled half of Forty-Nine City and finally found two taels of bird's nests. I'll stew them for you and take them for dinner at night!"

Li Cuiyun said angrily: "I have grandchildren, but they are still naughty! Look at your dad, you can catch a cold even in the summer."

Li Yuan followed his mother-in-law into the back room and saw Nie Yuanchao, dressed in straight clothes, sitting on a chair and reading Ma Lie.

well……

Li Yuan is willing to be defeated, but he can't pretend to be him.

Li Yuan observed carefully for a moment at the door and found that Lao Nie's face was burning red, his hands were trembling, and he could still read Ma Lie...

Li Cuiyun almost lost his temper. She pulled him in and said, "You two are really mad at me. How long have you been doing this?"

Nie Yu chuckled twice and then said worriedly to Li Yuan: "Dad caught a cold at noon yesterday. He feels very serious now. I went to the hospital and got an IV drip but it didn't work. Do I have to be hospitalized?"

Li Yuandao: "Which hospital are you going to... I just observed at the door, typical flu symptoms. So are you, how did our family make a living? Didn't I ask you to bring some oseltamivir back last time?"

Nie Yu suddenly remembered and hurriedly asked Li Cuiyun, "Mom, where is the medicine I brought back?"

Li Cuiyun regretted and said, "Sent him over there. The old man was ill earlier and he just took this medicine to get better."

Nie Yu said anxiously: "Then go and bring some back quickly."

Li Cuiyun said: "It was distributed a long time ago. At that time, there were still a few elderly people who were sick, so the old man sent the medicine over."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "This is not a coincidence. When he went out, Zhiguo took two boxes from home and asked me to bring them here, just in case you don't have them."

As he said this, he took out two boxes of medicine from his "pocket" with a smile.

Li Cuiyun was overjoyed and said, "Oh! Zhiguo is so nice. I like this good grandson so much! Come on, old Nie, eat it!"

After letting Nie Yuanchao take a pill and sending him back to the bedroom to rest, Li Cuiyun came out and said happily, "Thanks to Zhiguo!"

Nie Yu was jealous and said to Li Yuan, "I hate that Daxue is not her daughter. Now Zhiguo is her grandson."

Li Cuiyun whispered to Li Yuan, "The old man also likes Zhiguo very much. It won't hurt to let Zhiguo walk around more in the future."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, mom."

Li Cuiyun was even more satisfied and smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? We are all family. They were actually very dissatisfied at the beginning and called your father over and scolded him several times. Later, I don't know why they thought it through and now they look at you better. The method is getting better and better. He also said, when will you and Xiaoyu go together. I thought, why don’t you go tomorrow...”

Li Yuan said regretfully: “Oh, this is really unfortunate, I’m afraid it won’t work this time. I take a child out for a long hike every year. This year, I want to walk the Long March again and feel the hardships of my ancestors. I’m about to set off, and I have to make more preparations...”

Nie Yu looked at Li Yuan and helped explain: “Everyone praises the children at home, but in fact, he is the one who teaches them and has put in a lot of effort. Next summer, Xiaoqi will be there, and I don’t know where to go.”

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: “We had already planned it when we set out.”

Li Cuiyun sighed: “You young people are better... Okay, then look for opportunities later.”

…

Three days later.

Qinjiazhuang, Li Family Courtyard

Watching Li Yuan compress and fold a piece of canvas, tie it with a rope, and then put it into the bottom of the big backpack, and then put small things in one by one, Qin Daxue and Nie Yu laughed and said, "Is it reliable?"

Li Yuan said, "Why is it unreliable? Starting from the eldest brother, one, two, three, four, five, we have all come this way. You worry about nothing! Okay, I will fill two more pots of water later."

Qin Daxue looked at his watch and said, "I have to go to Jianghan for a meeting later, so I won't see you off. Son..."

Zhiguo looked at his mother, and Qin Daxue smiled and said, "You are my mother's pride!"

Zhiguo smiled brightly, and then looked at his sad mother Nie Yu who was sobbing silently in surprise.

Qin Daxue laughed and hugged this innocent and lovely "comrade", saying: "Xiao Qi is so cute, you should be content."

Li Yuan said to Qin Daxue: "I will drive you to the train station."

Qin Daxue said: "Forget it, there is a car waiting outside, you stay here and continue to pack. There is no harm in preparing more."

Li Yuan smiled: "With the ability of our father and son, it is actually okay not to bring anything. The world is vast and I can do whatever I want."

Nie Yu said: "You are all gone, then I will return to Hong Kong Island in advance."

Qin Daxue smiled: "You won't accompany your parents?"

Nie Yu sighed: "Don't see each other, I miss you so much. See each other, I will be annoyed after seeing you for two days. I will grumble for a long time even if I sleep in..."

Li Yuan smiled: "Go back if you want to, the later it is, the easier it will be to come back, just come back often."

After Qin Daxue said goodbye to Li's father and mother, the family still sent them away for a long time.

The next day, Li Yuan drove Nie Yu to the airport again and took the plane back to Hong Kong Island.

Then he took his son on a train southward to Ruijin in western Jiangxi, which was the beginning of that epoch-making journey.

The father and son used their legs to trek through eleven provinces, including Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet, Gansu, and Shaanxi, covering a total of 25,000 miles!

They went to pay tribute to the site of the most tragic Xiangjiang Battle, simulated the Wujiang River, replayed the miracle of the four crossings of the Chishui River, and finally swam across the Dadu River together.

They climbed the Dajin Mountain, which is so high that birds cannot fly over it and immortals cannot climb it, and the snow never melts all year round, and crossed the Songpan grassland, which is a forbidden zone for life.

It took three months, and finally completed the feat of retracing the Long March at the place where they met in Huining!

Seeing that the son who had changed from a nobleman to a son with a firm and sharp gaze, a body as straight as a pine tree, and a body as ragged as a beggar, the father and son laughed out loud!

…

September 23, 1982.

Li Yuan and Li Zhiguo, father and son, took the green train back to the city.

When the two arrived at Qinjiazhuang, Qin Dashan, who was walking towards them, was shocked when he recognized Li Yuan. He suspected that this capitalist had been dismissed and his house was confiscated in Hong Kong Island, and he fled back in a panic.

With long, messy hair, tattered clothes, and shoes that exposed his toes, they were just two stinky beggars!

"Old Eight, what's wrong with you?!"

Qin Dashan asked excitedly. He had always suspected that he had chosen the wrong name, otherwise why would he be suppressed by the Li family for his whole life.

Did it suddenly turn around?

Li Yuan exhaled lightly and said, "Uncle Dashan, I... made a fortune!"

"?"

Qin Dashan took a breath of cold air. This was not pleasant to hear. He looked suspicious and said, "What kind of fortune did you make to become like this?"

Li Yuan said excitedly: "Uncle Dashan, I dug a gold mountain!!"

"Hmph!!"

Qin Dashan was startled, and the sour water in his heart almost flowed from the corner of his mouth, but soon, he saw the two men opposite him secretly laughing, and then he realized that he was fooled.

Qin Dashan put his fingers together to form a sword, and slashed Li Yuan in the air, and said angrily: "Youngest, it has to be you!"

Li Yuan and Zhiguo laughed loudly, and the father and son said goodbye to Qin Dashan and strode towards the Li family.

After returning home, there was naturally another round of people and horses, and they were frightened again and again.

Fortunately, after the father and son took a bath and changed clothes, they became the same as before. No, they felt more energetic than three months ago!

Li Yuan said to his mother, "Mom, I won't talk much at home today. An old woman from England came here to quarrel with us Chinese. I'm going to join in the fun. Come back the day after tomorrow, and we'll kill chickens and sheep for fun, ah!"

Mother Li took out a biscuit with sugar and sesame seeds from her pocket with a smile, and said, "My son, are you hungry? Eat first and then go, don't be hungry."

Li Yuan took it with a smile, stuffed his mouth with a few bites, and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Delicious!!"

Zhiguo took a few biscuits sent by his aunt, biting them gently while looking at his father and smiling.

It's great that my father is also cared for by his elders.
