Chapter 469: 100th Anniversary (10,000 Words, Monthly Votes Requested!)

In April, poplar catkins are flying in the capital, like snowflakes.

The songs played in the streets and alleys are not the music of Jay Chou, the king of Chinese pop music, but Ah Du.

In alleys, there are people singing "I should be under the car, not in the car" heartbreakingly.

In the evening, at the entrance of Dongsi San Tiao Hutong on Chaonei Street, several white-haired old men sat on stools under a Chinese scholar tree, looking at the old palace gate decorated with lights not far away with envy.

The two majestic stone lions in front of the gate were also hung with red silk. These two lions are very famous because this pair of stone lions is said to be bigger than the stone lions in front of Chengtian Gate...

"Second Master, did you see that? The old lady in the Ninth Master's Mansion is going to celebrate her 100th birthday! What did you say at the beginning? A peasant with little luck will suffer misfortune if he can't control it? Look, is she still unlucky now?"

An old man asked another old man with a bald head and one missing front tooth with a smile.

Several old men laughed, and one sighed, "A hundredth birthday, anyway, I dare not think about it in this life, I don't have that blessing."

Another old man was more interesting and said, "Second Master, last time you scolded her for being unlucky and not worthy of living in your Manchu palace, and she lost her front teeth that night. Otherwise, you can say a few more words today and see if there will be a surprise?"

Fuck your grandma!

You call this a surprise?

The old man was so angry that his remaining teeth were almost loose. However, the fall last time was indeed strange, and he could fall on the flat ground. He believed in these things, so he did not curse the Li family anymore, but started to talk about the old almanac: "You tell me, is that the palace of our Manchus? It was the old Prince Yi's Palace during the Yongzheng Dynasty. Later, the Prince Yi's branch was stripped of his title and passed it to the ninth son of the Daoguang family, becoming the Ninth Prince's Palace in the old Beijing. Am I wrong? This is the most well-regulated old palace in the city. Can ordinary people afford to live there?" The old man who spoke first smiled and said, "They are going to celebrate their 100th birthday. My son told me that some of this family The situation, wow, the bed is full of hu, there are two provincial governors, and the number of departments and bureaus below is too many to count. There are not many people in the whole city who can compare with his family. Can't he live in the palace? "The old man knew that the old man's family was not ordinary people, and his son worked in a ministry. Hearing this, he hesitated and said, "That's even more inappropriate. Which cadre dares to live in such a yard?" The old man laughed and said, "If they dare to live there, it means they have the confidence to live there." As he spoke, he saw a row of Hongqi cars slowly passing the entrance of the alley. They did not stop at the small square at the main entrance, nor did they go to the underground garage, but drove in from the fire escape at the corner gate. Looking at the special license plates at the rear of the car, the old men were speechless for a moment...

We had guessed that this family was wealthy, but we didn't expect it to be this wealthy...

...

"Sister Lin, on your 100th birthday, we sincerely wish you good health and good luck. May your life be as lush as a pine tree, as long as a crane, and peaceful and auspicious every year."

Mr. Sui was as cheerful as ever, holding Mother Li's hand and laughing.

He hadn't completely retired, but he seemed to be in better spirits.

Mother Li smiled a little nervously and said, "I am just an old woman from the countryside, how could I have alarmed you?"

Everyone in the room laughed, and Old Hong also came and said with a smile, "I just looked around, elder sister, you have nurtured so many elite talents for us, you have educated them well. Generation after generation, they have now taken up important positions and are also making down-to-earth contributions to the country, the motherland, and the people. You have made great contributions!"

Old Hong retired five years ago, and after he was no longer in office, he stopped dyeing his hair, so his silver hair was more dazzling.

Old Zhai also arrived, and continued with a smile: "Let's not talk about other things. Just training a doctor Li, the elder sister is a national hero."

Mother Li said modestly: "I didn't train him. He studied and worked on his own. He didn't like to study when he was young. When he grew up, he didn't want to work in the production team to earn work points, so he started to study. He went to Qin Laosi's house, took out his father's medical books to read and recite, went to the city to find a teacher, and was admitted to a technical secondary school. We are farmers, we don't know anything, and we can't teach him anything."

"Hey~~"

Old Sui smiled and said: "These are secondary. The most important thing is that Doctor Li has a loyal, filial and benevolent heart, which is the most simple and pure. You and Secretary Li taught him how to be a man and how to be a Chinese. We all see this and admire it very much!"

Several people took turns to praise Li's mother, and she couldn't help laughing.

Li Jiang, Li He and others had never met the big guys so closely, and they just grinned and laughed.

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Sui Lao, you guys take your time to praise, we will praise while eating. Hey, I was still worried about how to let the old lady have a different 100th birthday. I have given her all the good things before. Well, you have solved my problem today. This card is stable today!"

"Hahaha!"

The sedan chair is carried by people, and the big guys are not machines that don't care about the world. They also like to hear nice words.

The key is who is talking.

Obviously, Li Yuan is the person who is suitable for making such jokes.

After sitting down, Li's mother didn't say much, and she preferred to watch Li Yuan chatting with several big guys.

After discovering this, Sui Lao and others became more relaxed and casual.

Mr. Sui ate the food and praised: "Dr. Li made this dish himself, right? It's much better than the state banquet! Even if Dr. Li is not a doctor, he is still a top chef as a chef."

Li Yuanle said: "That's right, you can make a fortune silently."

After a burst of laughter, Mr. Hong asked Li Yuan: "The construction of Lan Country is progressing very quickly. Water conservancy, electricity, roads, railways... are all in full bloom. To be honest, I envy you."

Li Yuan said happily: "What are you envious of?"

Hong Laodao: "The mainland is also working on big projects. The four major projects of the Western Development Project are unprecedented. However, we borrowed debt to start construction, and we will have to pay it back in the future. Lan Guo also 'borrowed debt', from the stock market and foreign exchange market. "Borrowing" in the futures market, but you don't have to pay it back. The wealth earned by the Nasdaq war is comparable to the foreign exchange earned by the whole country's hard work. How can people not envy it?

Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "The nature of speculation is too heavy, and it happens once and twice. What the mainland is doing now seems to be taking the slow road in a stupid way, but it is actually the smartest way."

It is true that foreign businessmen grabbed most of the profits, but the workers benefited. After the preferential period of tax reduction and exemption, the taxes collected by the government offices increased.

Furthermore, the construction of supporting infrastructure such as factories will be a benefit to the country as long as it is built on Chinese land.

It doesn't seem like there is much benefit, but in fact it will get better and better if you work slowly and carefully.

Mr. Zhai looked at the two "young people" at the dinner table, Li Kun and Li Cheng, and asked Li Cheng: "The construction of Lan State is an absolutely rare benefit for us. With such a huge capital investment, how can we We must seize this opportunity. Qilu's industrial system is a national priority. There are 41 major industrial categories in the world. Qilu now has 28, but it will definitely not stop at 28. The demand for construction will be extremely beneficial in promoting the construction of all categories in Qilu.”

Hearing this, Li Cheng slowly smiled and said: "Because of my relationship with Eighth Uncle, some comrades have some opinions on this. They think that there is capital interference. But, I also think about it. Between being an official and doing things , do things first. Why not use it if you can? Just for my clean resume? I would rather spend five to ten years building Qilu, and I will have a clear conscience. I also want to understand, go all out to do something, and when the time comes, I will go to Lan Country. Uncle Eight has sacrificed so much for us nephews, and we have barely given anything in return. I hope that after repaying Chen and the motherland, Use the rest of your life to repay Uncle Eight for his upbringing and education."

Mr. Sui obviously didn't like hearing such words. He glanced at Qin Daxue, who was sitting on the side laughing and saying nothing, and said seriously: "This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable. Although Lan State and the mainland belong to two countries, they have the same culture and the same race. Even the citizens are immigrants from the mainland. To put it bluntly, they are closer blood brothers than the Gulf. From a strategic point of view, the two countries are horns of each other, and the development of the mainland is very important. It is good for Lan State. If Lan State develops, it will also be good for the mainland. But fundamentally speaking, if the mainland develops and grows, it will be more beneficial to Lan State. This can be regarded as repaying your eighth uncle's kindness. , isn’t it biased?”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's more fair."

If it weren't for his personal force, Lan Guo wouldn't even be able to deal with neighboring Java, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

In the eyes of most people, Li Yuan is already sixty-five years old. How long can he remain at his peak?

Before he declines, or before he dies of old age, if the mainland can develop into a powerful country, it will definitely be beneficial to Lan Country.

Even if we don't consider the issue of life and death, the development of the mainland and the huge market of more than one billion people will still be of great benefit to Lan Guo.

Not to mention anything else, the current tourism industry is booming because of tourists from several cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen that have developed earlier.

Don’t doubt that if some people get rich first, those people will become rich beyond imagination.

Not to mention, Lan Guo has not yet officially issued its own currency and is still using RMB and US dollars...

Language and currency issues are no problem at all. It is simply a vacation paradise for wealthy Chinese.

Hearing Li Yuan's approval, Mr. Sui became even more happy and said to Li Cheng and Li Kun: "So, the pattern must be opened. Director Qin's insistence on leaving has already made us very heartbroken. But considering Director Qin's personal issues, She has paid too much for our organization. All three children left her at a young age and focused on their work. In addition, considering that Lan Guo really needs someone with experience and knowledge. Talented people will be in charge..."

Qin Daxue laughed and said: "I've passed it, Mr. Sui, at most he has some work experience."

Mr. Sui smiled and said: "You don't have to be modest and dare not say that it is unprecedented, but it is unlikely that there will be a second Comrade Qin Xue who is resolute and decisive in China for at least fifty years. If you don't leave, you will be in charge of the disciplinary work across the country. , who else would you want to be? Look, after you went to Lan State, the originally chaotic Caotai team quickly became more formalized. Overall, the system is more rigorous and is in line with the actual situation of Lan State. of."

Seeing Mr. Sui looking at him, Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, give her a merit and make her a virtuous concubine."

Qin Daxue said angrily: "In short, he is the kind who is not favored."

Everyone in the room laughed loudly, Lou Xiao'e said: "Come on, you have been a top star all your life, and you are still not satisfied!"

Li Yuan reminded the two old women: "Is this the occasion to say these words?"

Qin Daxue didn't care: "We've almost retired, and it's time to eat the fireworks of the world. Besides, I'm not embarrassed, so what are you afraid of?"

Li Yuan sighed: "I am also a victim of the times."

"Hahaha!"

Now everyone really laughed.

Mr. Sui asked Li Yuan, "Doctor Li, how long do you think America will stay in the Middle East?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "America is now invincible in the world and is attacking Afghanistan in order to occupy this important strategic location. Unless America begins to decline, it will not withdraw easily. Not only will it not withdraw, but it will taste the sweetness. The Ansa people also started a second war."

Mr. Hong frowned and said, "Iraq?"

Accusing Iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction is not something that happens in a day or two. It has been laid for a long time.

Although Saddam publicly denied it and the United Nations sent a team of experts to investigate, the investigation showed that Saddam did not have those things.

However, America refused to admit it and directly bypassed the United Nations and attacked Iraq.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Mr. Hong said solemnly: "Iraq is different from Afghanistan. Afghanistan does not have much oil, but Iraq is a major oil-producing country. The last war between Iran and Iraq lasted for eight years, and the global oil crisis greatly affected the world economy. Now there is another war. The sharp rise in oil prices has had a great impact on us.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's useless. The more this happens, the more America will launch a war and then make huge profits. However, the oil problem should not be too big. Although the oil reserves of Lan are not as good as those of Iraq, they are There is no problem with emergency response in a short period of time. Moreover, it is much closer, not to mention natural gas. LNG ships are shipped directly to the South China Sea and directly to the mainland. Coal, iron ore, grain, and palm oil are not a problem. ”

In the next two decades, Java will always be China's largest supplier of imported coal, and more than 90% of the mining volume comes from Kalimantan, which is now Tang Island.

They are all open-pit coal mines. With the continuous development of large-scale infrastructure, mining costs have become increasingly lower, causing the export volume of Tangdao coal to continue to skyrocket.

Coal is the fundamental energy source related to the electric power, steel industry and other industries.

Right now, China's coal industry is experiencing its golden decade, and it has become an absolutely hugely profitable industry.

Mr. Zhai said with emotion: "From this aspect alone, Dr. Li, you can be said to have made great contributions to the Chinese nation for generations to come!"

Li Yuan raised his glass: "Thank you, I think so too."

Li Xing smiled brightly at the table next to him. Hong Kong Island itself had few resources to speak of. Even fresh water and river sand for building houses depended on the mainland.

But now, he has begun to experience the joy of a resource-rich country.

Just by selling oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, and virgin wood pulp to the mainland, he can cover a large part of Lan Guo's construction fund, greatly reducing his pressure.

It was difficult for him to understand why Java had left such a treasure land undeveloped before.

It may be that the resources on Java and Sumatra are already very abundant and they cannot afford to do this.

Or maybe they don’t have tens of millions of hardworking and disciplined workers and farmers who are willing to immerse themselves in hard work, and they are motivated but powerless.

In any case, the Li family can take advantage of this island...

…

Mr. Sui and others did not stay for long, only about two hours before they left.

After they left, the atmosphere relaxed.

For a family of civil servants, facing a big boss of this level, it would be an exaggeration to say that they only dare to take half a breath, but they are cautious in everything.

After a few old men left, he was only half alive again. Because of what happened before, the younger generation had a lot more respect for Li Yuan.

The elders of Li Jiang's generation stood one by one to toast Mother Li's birthday. The old lady drank peach juice very happily.

In Li Kun's generation, every family knelt down to kowtow to their ancestors to celebrate their birthdays, and the atmosphere of a 100th birthday suddenly arose.

When it comes to Li Feng's generation, it is really a great ceremony to pray three times and nine times to wish the ancestors long live.

Don't doubt it, they really think so.

The reason is very simple. When the old lady is here, everyone is a family and close relatives.

The old lady is no longer here, but the older generation is still considered a relative. By their generation, the Eighth Grandpa cannot even recognize her, and can only be regarded as a relative.

They haven't had a good time yet, but they can't bear to end it so soon, so the congratulatory message contains a lot of words about loving each other and being a family forever...

The heartfelt blessings from such a prosperous family made Mother Li particularly happy today.

However, she did not repeat the words "we will always be a family" as some people wanted.

For her, it seems that Yao'er's lightness is more important than the longevity of the family.

…

“Dad, why don’t you agree with our Shan State plan?”

In the courtyard of Wangfu West Road, Xiao Jiu looked like a college student, with a simple ponytail, a pair of black-framed flat glasses, a plaid shirt, and no accessories, but what he said was anything but simple.

She and Li Yuan could not appear in Lan Country at the same time, but there was still no problem in the mainland.

Before Li Yuan could answer, Xiaoba, who was happily eating durian, rarely cared about family matters: "What is the Shan State Plan?"

He was startled when everyone looked at him, and his wife Amei helped explain: "Zhenbang is planning to go to Yangon to sketch."

Fugui grinned and said: "Conquer Burma! Xiaoba, it's up to you to take the lead this time!"

The durian in Xiaoba's mouth was so frightened that it came out.

Xiaoqi felt sorry for her younger brother and blamed Fugui: "Third brother~"

Fugui just laughed.

Xiaojiu became more serious, looked at Li Yuan and said: "Dad, America bypasses the United Nations and attacks Iraq. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. It is unlikely to happen again. We have also been operating in Shan State for fifteen years. , with strong troops and strong horses, it is time to attack Yangon. Dad, the significance of taking Burma is no less than that of Tang Dao, and it is even more important."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I know. But Old David doesn't think this is a good idea."

"?"

Xiaojiu was puzzled.

Li Yuan said helplessly: "If we capture Myanmar, it means that China has an outlet in the southwest and can directly enter and leave the Indian Ocean. What is the concept? The first island chain created by America will be directly destroyed. This kind of action, It will directly attract America's attention in the Middle East back to the Asia-Pacific and intercept us in all directions. There are tens of millions of people in Myanmar, and they will definitely start a war. Tang Island is just one of the first island chains. An isolated island is two different things from Myanmar.”

Lou Xiao'e was surprised and said: "Jiu'er, your ambition is getting bigger and bigger."

Lou Xiu was more direct and criticized: "I'll hit you on the head! Find me a partner quickly!"

This kind of thing can only be said by the eldest mother who raised her with her own hands in the world.

Of course Li Yuan can do it, but he doesn't know how.

The family members laughed. Xiaojiu looked helpless. After hugging Lou Xiu, he said to Li Yuan: "Quick victory, and he has been lurking for more than ten years. The veteran has long learned Burmese, so it is difficult to tell that he is Chinese."

Qin Daxue said leisurely: "It is a country with a population of tens of millions. Even if you attack it by force, it will be difficult to govern. It is impossible to immigrate tens of millions like Lan Guo. America will never do it. Allowed. That would ruin this great situation.”

Zhiguo looked at his sister and smiled and said, "Want to destroy the six kingdoms and become the First Emperor of Lan?"

Xiao Jiu looked at the way of governing the country expressionlessly: "Chinese people, especially Chinese farmers, are the most hard-working people in the world, right? Officials, businessmen, and workers who praise the Chinese people's ability to endure hardships and stand hard work, All inhumane.”

Zhiguo's face suddenly turned red, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to explain it.

Li Yuan clicked his tongue softly and said to Xiao Jiu: "Don't carry such a heavy thing on your body, Jiu'er, don't be anxious."

He knew that his daughter was not only responsible for the rise and fall of one corner of the Lan Kingdom, but also for the rejuvenation of the entire nation.

Such a vision is more grand and upright than the Jinluan Way of governing the country.

Qin Daxue also understood a lot now. He looked at Xiaojiu with a bright face and said proudly: "As expected of her, she is my girl."

Only Lou Xiu was unhappy and criticized: "How can I talk to my brother?"

Xiaojiu explained with a smile: "I'm not saying anything bad about my brother. He has been running for farmers and done many practical things. It's just a perception."

Lou Xiao'e reminded: "Now that I have a sister-in-law, please be careful."

Xiao Jiu glanced at Zeng Li, smiled and nodded.

She didn't say it was just appearances. As far as she knew, Zeng Li took good care of the life of governing the country, and he kept his duties and did not interfere in official affairs.

This is very, very important.

that's enough.

Zeng Li looked at Xiao Jiu and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you are a close relative so you are welcome."

Zhiguo rubbed his face, looked at Xiaojiu and said sincerely: "The population base is too large, there is nothing we can do. The country is too big, and it is not safe."

Li Yuan comforted the precious girl and said, "Believe me, dad, don't be anxious."

This is not to say that Jiuer's path is unworkable, but the variables are too great.

He tested David Rockefeller on this matter, and the Rockefeller family's attitude largely represented America's views on this matter.

Old David's answer is obvious, Noway, it's impossible.

From a global strategic perspective, Tang Dao is not even worthy of carrying shoes to Myanmar.

It is absolutely impossible for America to sit back and watch Myanmar be controlled by the mainland or Lanzhou. That is absolutely not allowed.

Very candid answer.

After Xiaojiu was silent for a while, he said softly: "Okay. In fact, for Lan Guo, it is more beneficial for the mainland to maintain the status quo. If the Shan State Plan is really implemented, from a strategic position, Tang Island's role on the mainland will be It will plummet. However, if we can win Myanmar... it will be very advantageous, and Myanmar has always been ruled by a military government, so the opportunity is really rare.”

Li Yuan looked at his precious daughter and said warmly: "I'm not asking you to give up. Although we don't interfere, we can still secretly support Shan State to continue to grow in strength and wait for the right time. You are busy with state affairs now and it is not convenient for you to come forward. I will make more trips. . Jiu'er, let's be more patient and strategic. Time is on our side, isn't it?"

Xiaojiu was finally persuaded, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, looking at her father and tilting his face.

"Hey~~"

Several brothers started cheering together.

Now you know who the old man loves the most, right?

Who can instruct Li Yuan to run around now?

Even Li Xing wouldn't dare. Even if he dared to say it, he would probably get a big buck.

It’s only Xiaojiu.

The sisters-in-law also looked at this sister-in-law with a smile. They all knew who the family should not offend the most...

…

"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth, I only love you, YOU ARE MY SUPER STAR!"

The street song played on the loudspeakers in the streets and alleys became "super star" by S.H.E. The catchy lyrics and melody made this song sweep the entire Chinese-speaking world.

After a birthday banquet, the Li family dispersed.

Lou Xiao'e and others returned to Hong Kong Island, and then prepared to go to Lan Country again, which was too fun.

Xiaojiu and others returned directly to Lan Country. The vigorous construction did not stop for a moment, and they could not stop their work in all aspects.

Fugui prepared for national defense-related work, so that he would have a bit of his childhood honest look when facing his family, and at other times, he was the general style of Yue Zhiyuan.

Li Si and Atlanna have been carrying out foreign affairs. In addition to the mainland, Lan Country's largest trading partners are almost all Commonwealth countries.

The second daughter-in-law Atlanna has made an indelible contribution. The afterglow of the Lancaster Red Rose Dynasty has blessed Lan Country.

Jixiang and Ruyi are also very busy. After the Internet bubble, the Internet economy took off again and soared to the sky.

Datang Computer, Software, and Semiconductors are also in a period of rapid growth and fierce competition. Especially in the process of being involved in numerous lawsuits in America, they are still moving forward.

The mainland market has given Datang the greatest confidence.

And those difficulties have given Datang the best training for the twin brothers of the Li family.

The naughty child who was once chased and beaten by Lou Xiu with a feather duster has now become the godfather of the global Internet industry.

There is no need to mention Xiaoba. Amei takes care of life, and Zhang Manyu is responsible for artistic life. A painting costs millions or even tens of millions, and life is as happy as a fairy...

Xiaoqi will also marry Zhao Lin this year...

And Li Yuan will actually embark on a "journey"...

This year, it is the opportunity for the two granddaughters, Li Yunchu, 18, and Li Shuyi, 14, to go out and gain experience.

Li Yunchu is born to He Pingshi, and Li Shuyi is born to Zhou Huimin.

To be honest, there are not many opportunities to contact grandfather.

Still riding in the huge RV, after saying goodbye to Li's mother, we set off from Qinjiazhuang. The city is already restricted from entering due to height restrictions.

After leaving the capital, the first night was spent in the suburbs.

There were many mountains in the distance, and the sound of dogs barking could be heard faintly in the mountain village.

Li Yuan took a chair and put it next to the car, and directed his two granddaughters to pick up firewood and make a bonfire.

"Grandpa, my father and aunt all walked back then."

Li Yunchu's personality is similar to her mother's. She was born in Hong Kong Island... You can't call her a wealthy family, but a royal family in Hong Kong. Her maternal family is a wealthy gambling king, so it's not an exaggeration to call her a princess, both materially and spiritually.

Relatively speaking, Li Shuyi is also like her mother, and she is much more quiet.

But both of them have grown into tall and graceful young ladies, which is why Li Yuan chose to go out in an RV.

You can't camp outside in the middle of the night and let your two granddaughters poop in the wild with their butts naked, right?

The bonfire was lit, Li Shuyi took out some skewers and vegetables from the car refrigerator, and Li Yunchu set up a grill. These jobs are basic skills for the children of the Li family.

Hearing his granddaughter ask this, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Times have changed. Besides, isn't it easy for you to suffer? Starting tomorrow, I will drive away, and you will walk below."

Li Yunchu: "..."

Li Shuyi: "..."

Li Shuyi couldn't help laughing. This is indeed what a grandfather's character can do.

Thinking about what the eldest brother Li Rui has experienced over the years, they are still good.

But to be honest, they like to be treated like this.

Not masochists, because as they grow older, they have long seen that the reason why their grandfather is so "harsh" to Li Rui is because he values ​​him, right?

Just look at the envious look in the eyes of the second brother Li Zhi and others every time when the grandfather joked with Li Rui...

Li Yunchu was naturally an understanding person. She bravely said: "Okay, no problem!" After a pause, she said: "Grandpa, why doesn't Sister An Nuo take such a hiking trip?"

Li Yuan looked at his second granddaughter with a smile and said: "Do you want to be the crown prince?"

This straightforwardness caught Li Yunchu off guard. After a little panic, she nodded frankly and said: "Of course. Grandpa, that's the crown princess!"

An Nuo, except for being the eldest granddaughter of the Li family, nothing can compare to her.

Even an illegitimate daughter...

Of course, these thoughts can only be criticized in the heart. If she dares to make trouble like this in public, her own mother He Pingshi will beat her to death.

Of course, Li Yuan could understand. He would not accept it either. He smiled softly, "You can't do anything if you want to be the princess. This is fate. Unless you have the ability to change your fate and be born before An Nuo, otherwise, just give up on this idea."

Li Shuyi almost laughed like a pig. Well, grandfather really knows how to comfort people.

Li Yunchu also laughed and felt that his ears were starting to smoke, but he still begged, "Grandpa, can't I be the princess for three years? With this title, your identity is very different."

Li Yuan said disdainfully, "Look at your superficial thoughts!"

Li Shuyi giggled non-stop and helped Grandpa turn the tomato slices on the grill.

Li Yunchu rolled her eyes and said, "It's a deal. You will become a princess in the future, okay."

Li Shuyi said more seriously: "Second sister, the princess of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty is already very important." Then she changed the subject and looked at Li Yuan and said: "Of course, it would be better if Grandpa could let us take turns to be the crown princess, hehe!"

Li Yuan felt relieved after hearing this. It's good that she's not a tea girl, it's good that she's not a tea girl. He waved his hand and said: "Give up this idea." He also scolded the two silly granddaughters: "Look at your father. Back then, Yunchu, your father once proposed that the nine brothers and sisters take turns to be the president of the Tang Dynasty. You can't say that he is the eldest and take advantage. What was the result? He forced your second uncle and your second uncle to go to America because the second brother didn't want to compete with his brother. The following brothers were the same, and they all stayed away. The president of the Tang Dynasty is not an empty title, but the brothers and sisters have never fought for that thing once. . What is family affection, do you know? Look at you, there are only a few girls in the family, and you are still fighting. Eh~~ so embarrassing! "

Li Yunchu jumped and shouted: "I didn't! ! We just wanted to go out and show off our reputation, since it's fake anyway! Grandpa, we are super good with sister An Nuo!"

Li Shuyi also nodded repeatedly and said: "My brothers are very annoying, and it is sister An Nuo who protects us."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That's good. Your sister An Nuo not only protects you, but when your eighth uncle was pursued by girls in school, he ran to the elementary school and asked An Nuo to help him, and followed An Nuo to show off his power. "

"Puff!"

"Ah?"

The two granddaughters were stunned, and Li Yunchu said: "Really, grandpa?"

Li Yuan smiled and said : "In the previous generation, it was your father who took care of eight brothers and sisters, and he took good care of them. In your generation, your eldest sister has been taking care of you since you were young. So when she became the crown prince, even Li Rui and Li Zhi were just heartbroken, but not dissatisfied. But if you were the crown prince, it would be a lot of fun. I don't know about other families, but in the Li family, any gain is not without reason, and it is not that whoever is born earlier can get everything."

Li Yunchu said happily: "Oh, grandpa, don't be so serious, we just want to get a little help, not really want to be the crown prince. Grandpa, but you treat Li Rui differently. Isn't it because he is the eldest?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "You underestimate Li Rui. There are a few fools in the mainland who have been imprisoned. Do you know?"

Li Yunchu stopped laughing and nodded and said: "Uncle Li Ba . "

Li Shuyi said: "There are also Uncle Li Lei, Uncle Li Yin, Uncle Li Qi..."

Li Yuan said: "They all deserved the punishment. They didn't have to go to jail. The higher-ups gave the Li family this face. However, I still asked your Uncle Kun to inform the organization and deal with them severely. Not only that, the family fund will also remove all of them, including their wives and children. "

Li Yunchu whispered: "My mommy said that Grandpa is killing the chicken to scare the monkey."

Li Shuyi also said: "Grandpa used thunderbolt methods, but he had a heart of bodhisattva."

Li Yuan said: "No matter what, I just did it. The effect is good, but the wives and children of Li Ba and his family suffered. The wives basically got divorced, and the children naturally fell to the bottom of the valley. This kind of life experience, for them, is more than just sour and refreshing?"

Li Yunchu and Li Shuyi were originally in a heavy mood, and they were both amused by these two words.

Li Yunchu whispered: "Grandpa, we went to the mainland to experience life every summer vacation, and Uncle Li Ba and his family were very good to us. ”

Li Yuan smiled without commenting, and said: “Li Rui did not tell us that he brought Li Zhi, Li Ying, and Li Ming here, and called Li Feng and Li Rui to visit Li Ba and his children one by one. Some of them taught them a lesson, some scolded them, and some helped them fight to vent their anger. Different situations were treated differently. But in the end, without exception, those unfortunate children no longer degenerate, but picked up their textbooks again and started to study hard. ”

“Wow~”

Sisters Li Yunchu and Li Shuyi exclaimed, saying: “We didn’t know anything.”

Li Yuan handed the two strings of potatoes that had passed the test to his two granddaughters, picked up the lamb chops and ate them happily, and did not forget to say: “If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight first. Most people will only passively accept the word “bear”, but capable people will take the initiative to take on problems to sharpen their shoulders and minds. Of course, I am not saying that Li Rui is so powerful. In general, your generation is much worse than your father’s generation. Tsk tsk, very useless. "

Li Yunchu put the stick aside and covered his face with his hands.

Li Shuyi did the same.

Oh my God, how did Brother Li Rui survive all these years?

...

Li Yuan took his two granddaughters with him, from east to west, from the capital to the border of Western Xinjiang. He drove and the two granddaughters walked, allowing them to truly experience the majesty of the motherland and the kindness of their grandfather.

On the way back to Chang'an from Western Xinjiang, the two granddaughters were almost as dark as African girls. If anyone disagrees, go to the Gobi Desert and try it.

Arrived in Chang'an , the two said goodbye to their kind grandfather and boarded the plane back to Hong Kong Island. They were already crying on the plane...

Li Yuan felt a little regretful that he didn't join the Jin.

But it is understandable. If everyone in this generation joins the Jin, then the Li family will be a bit too much...

Currently, Li Rui, Li Zhi, Li Ying, and the fourth brother Li Ming have joined the Jin. An Nuo joined the Jin first. As long as these five don't fight among themselves, they can basically carry the banner of this generation.

After sending off the two granddaughters, Li Yuan parked the RV at the Chang'an Datang Restaurant and traveled alone quietly.

I still have to do what Xiaojiu asked me to do.

But it’s nothing more than sending some silver paper, some medicinal herbs, and some… lethal force, such as eliminating some enemies and cleaning up some of our own people.

The pawns of Shan State will not be moved within 20 years, and we will talk about it 20 years later.

Let’s see what those little bastards in America will do when Taiwan returns to the vast land of China…

…

When I returned to Beijing from Shan State, the songs on the street changed again.

The first snow of 2002 sang throughout the city.

And the snow that was falling on this day was the snow of 2004…

After Li Yuan returned to Beijing, the first call he received was from Li Xing.

Li Xing told him in a heavy tone that Qin Sanzhu had passed away.

Another person also died on the same day, Li Jiacheng’s wife, Zhuang Yueming…

Li Yuan hesitated, but still flew back to Hong Kong Island…

After all, they are old friends.

…
