Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 463 Unrest
June 6, Dragon Boat Festival

Early in the morning, Zhang Hao took his whole family to his brother-in-law's house. Today happened to be the wedding day for his brother-in-law's housewarming.

After looking at houses for more than half a month, Yang Haoxuan finally bought three houses of more than 90 square meters near Nanshan Park, spending a total of [-] million.

"Dong dong dong..."

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Susanna quickly invited everyone into the living room:

"Aunt, eldest sister, brother-in-law, you are here."

Zhang Guoxin took the lead and rushed to send blessings: "Uncle and aunt, congratulations on moving into your new home. I wish you good luck and wealth from now on, a happy life, everything goes well, peace and joy."

Not to be outdone, Little Fatty Tiger and others sent blessings one after another.

Yang Huaqing took the gift from his youngest son:

"Nana, I originally wanted to give you something practical, but your brother-in-law said that you are in need of everything here. In the end, after much selection, I chose this Lucky Cat. Your brother-in-law specially found someone to make it custom-made."

"Thank you, eldest sister and brother-in-law. Our family has really invested heavily in buying a house this time, and the Lucky Cat is just right."

After Susanna finished speaking, she stretched out her hands.

Yang Huaqing handed the "lucky cat" to the other party, and at the same time did not forget to remind:

"It's a bit heavy, be careful."

Susanna took the "Lucky Cat" and suddenly felt her hand heavy. She couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Oh, it's really heavy. Is it made of metal?"

Zhang Guoxin answered helpfully: "Auntie, you guessed it right. This lucky cat is made of gold. Although it is not big, it weighs twelve kilograms."

"Gold?" Susanna couldn't help being surprised, "It's too valuable and our family can't accept it."

In the past two months, due to the sharp devaluation of legal currency, the price of gold has skyrocketed. It is believed that in a few days, the price of gold per ounce will exceed the 50 yuan mark, which is more than 30 times higher than before the Yellowstone volcano erupted.

The twelve-pound golden lucky cat costs nearly [-] million, which is really astonishing.

Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, accept it! This gold was passed down from Guoguo's grandfather. The price of gold was very cheap at that time, so it didn't cost much."

In fact, these are compensations for my brother-in-law's family.

Because he couldn't tell the other party about the "demonetization", he could only give such a big gift until the "demonetization" policy was introduced, so that the other party would be more or less protected.

"Auntie, I paid for all the gold bars, so you don't have to be polite to my dad." Zhang Guoxin took the opportunity to agree.

Grandpa’s collection was all left to her.

Even if the company is gone, she is still a rich woman and the richest person in the family.

Yang Haoxuan came over and said carelessly: "Okay, since it's from Guoguo, just accept it! At worst, when the little girl gets married, we can make up for another similar red envelope."

"Same." Susanna smiled and accepted the gift.

Hearing this, Zhang Guoxin couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Uncle, what age are we in now? I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my dad, my mom, and my grandma all my life."

"Nonsense, what can a girl do if she doesn't get married? What will you do when you get old? Who will help you take care of yourself in old age?"

Li Dajuan laughed and cursed.

Zhang Guoxin said plausibly: "I have more than a dozen nephews and nieces. Am I still afraid that no one will take care of me in old age?"

"Sister-in-law, I will help you take care of yourself when you grow up."

Several little dolls immediately cheered.

In daily life, my sister-in-law is very kind to them, and she always thinks of them when she has delicious food and fun things to do.

"Hey, grandma, did you see this?" Zhang Guoxin said sarcastically.

Yang Huaqing glared at her little daughter and said angrily: "Don't be childish. It's okay if you don't want to get married, but no matter what, you must have a child." "Got it." Zhang Guoxin waved her hand impatiently, then turned around. Looking at her aunt: "Aunt, I heard that cousin Beth is back. I haven't seen her for a long time. I want to play with her for a while."

"She and Yueyue are cleaning in another house. I'll let Pipi take you there."

After Susanna finished speaking, she called her son over.

Soon, Zhang Guoxin led a group of children out. There was another house in the same community, very close to it, only a 10-minute walk away.

……

After the children left, Li Dajuan took Yang Huaqing, Susanna and her granddaughter-in-law into the kitchen and started making rice dumplings.

Before coming, we specially prepared rice dumpling leaves and fresh rice, as well as some matching ingredients.

In the living room, Zhang Hao and others drank tea while chatting about current political news.

In recent times, the biggest news in the Federation is not economic reform. The enthusiasm for "public ownership transformation" has long passed. The hottest topic at the moment is that the president of Europa has announced his resignation, and the entire society is on the verge of collapse.

"Brother-in-law, Alexander is too incompetent. If he gives up his choice, Europa will probably be in chaos." Yang Haoxuan couldn't help but sigh.

"You can't blame him. Europa is now a big powder keg, and it will be useless to anyone else."

Zhang Hao waved his hands helplessly.

Zhang Guoxuan frowned: "Dad, it doesn't matter if Europa is in chaos. What matters is what about the oil fields in the Middle East? There is already a serious energy crisis. Isn't this going to make things even worse?"

"Don't worry. Immediately after the snow disaster, the military sent hundreds of thousands of troops to provide disaster relief. Together with the local garrison, it is enough to ensure the safety of the oil field area." Zhang Hao reassured.

In fact, the chaos in Europa was caused by Zhou Jiangyu, and it is impossible that there were no preventive measures.

Zhang Guodong took a sip of tea and then asked a very direct question: "Dad, looking at the current trend, is the Federation going to disintegrate?"

"Why do you care so much? Whether it is disintegrated or not, it has nothing to do with our family. Your father and I have retired. When you retire, you should have the consciousness to retire."

Zhang Hao paused and then reminded:
"I believe some of you have also noticed that something is not right with the limelight recently. Don't mess around if you have nothing to do. Just stay at home and let's talk about it in two years."

Upon hearing this, the three brothers Zhang Guoxuan nodded seriously. The old man has rich experience in business and politics, and he never tells lies.

Yang Haoxuan couldn't help but sigh: "Once Europa falls into complete chaos, I don't know how many people will die by then. It will really rain all night long if the house leaks."

"Uncle, in fact, apart from Europa, other major regions are not very stable. I heard someone say some time ago that many state-owned enterprises in the Americas are withdrawing back to their home countries. It doesn't look like the situation is good!"

Zhang Guoxuan sighed.

"Bah, Zhou Jiangyu is so cruel." Yang Haoxuan said angrily, "The good Federation was handed over to him, but it ended up falling into pieces. It's a shame that he had the nerve to talk so shamelessly in his inaugural speech, saying nonsense like never abandoning or giving up. It turns out they are all just deceiving..."

"Well, if he had a choice, Zhou Jiangyu wouldn't make such a move." Zhang Hao interrupted.

Seriously, he is the "culprit".

Zhang Guoliang looked at his father solemnly: "Dad, do you regret stepping down? I believe that if you were still in your position, you would definitely not act like Zhou Jiangyu."

As a vested interest, the various reform measures taken by Zhou Jiangyu since he came to power have caused serious damage to the old Zhang family. At the same time, they have also caused huge damage to the entire society and have far-reaching impacts.

"Your father, I have nothing to regret. Zhou Jiangyu is not as miserable as you think. The reason why he is so extreme is to save himself."

Zhang Hao said earnestly.

Zhang Guodong suddenly whispered: "Dad, if the situation in Europa continues to deteriorate, grandma will definitely insist on bringing my aunt back. How should we deal with it?"

Since the turmoil in Europa, the old lady watches the news every day and cannot hide it.

"It's only a day that I can hide it. I really can't pretend to move back to the capital, as long as I don't come to the Special Administrative Region." Zhang Hao didn't have a good idea.

"Okay! It seems that's all it can do."
