A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 177 Worship
"Oh, they're all back!"

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

At their age, what they fear most is loneliness.

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

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

"Grandpa, grandma!"

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

Even though he is small, he is smart.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What has my father-in-law been doing these past two months?

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

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

Li Yuan said: "How to say?"

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

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

Lou Zhentao laughed and said, "How could they believe it? The Japanese and the Americans have inspected Daqing one after another, saying that there is no oil, and concluded that the mainland is an oil-poor country. After our announcement, everyone outside laughed and laughed at us. Talking big, living in the world of lies fabricated by oneself, deceiving oneself and deceiving oneself and others. In fact, many of us are uncertain and don’t believe it..."

Li Yuan said happily: "Just less than two kilometers away from the small Japanese exploration well, a super-large oil field was dug. With the development of Daqing, China will no longer need to import oil for a long time. Tsk, it seems that some people will be disappointed gone."

Lou Zhentao was also happy when he heard the words, and said: "At the meeting just held this year, many powerful measures were proposed, such as the necessary shutdown and transformation of the industrial front, and the reduction of state-owned industrial enterprises this year on the basis of the reduction in 8000. More than 850. From January to August this year, 1000 million workers were streamlined, and the urban population was reduced by [-] million.

It's amazing, it's amazing.Not everyone possesses the courage of a strong man to break his wrist.China is still an agricultural country through and through. The people are too poor to sell their industrial products, so why support so many non-agricultural people?

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

The old man lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his excitement, and said: "The higher authorities have also severely criticized some comrades for ignoring the united front work in recent years, fostering arrogance and self-sufficiency, and rejecting comrades from outsiders, saying that this is not good for the same comrades as outsiders. The solidarity and cooperation of people is very detrimental to the cause of socialism, and must be resolutely corrected. On the second day after the meeting, someone came to see me, hoping that I could provide some suggestions for related work..."

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

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

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

Lou Zhentao sighed and said: "The change is too fast, how dare you talk nonsense? I just said that I have been away from the front-line work for many years, so I dare not talk about it. This is not in line with the old man's seeking truth from facts. I am old and my health is not good. , but I am willing to donate my family property to support the country and tide over the difficulties together."

Li Yuan said happily: "They don't dare to accept this stall. They are about to unite."

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

After saying something meaningful, he looked at Li Yuan and said, "Seeing what you mean, you're not optimistic about this turn?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I have nothing to look forward to or not. Ordinary people can't stand it. But as Dad said just now, the changes are too fast. If you really want to go out, you might as well wait for a year, and you can't wait to see it again." It’s too late. You’re already at this age, so there’s no need to take risks. Let those who want to make big profits come first, and you should wait and see what happens.”

Lou Zhentao didn't say a word for a long time when he heard that, although his expression didn't change much, the hesitation in his eyes was obvious.

Compared with when he held great power and dispatched massive resources in his hands, he is no different from being in prison now...

How could he not be tempted by the chance to come out again?
It was originally planned that if the higher-ups could visit the thatched cottage three times, he would start working again, which would be a good story.

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

If you donate part of your family property and submit it as a certificate, the benefits you will get will be ten times and a hundred times as much.

Don't you see Tongrentang Lejia?

Even Lejia's old house has been donated, but now in the industrial and commercial circles of Forty-Nine City, who has the reputation of Lejia?
But Li Yuan's words were not unreasonable, it changed too fast, if there was another turning point, he would fall into it...

Lou Xiu, who had been silent all this time, said softly, "Father, have you forgotten what we said about Lejia before? Lejia must be defeated."

Li Yuan looked at his aunt in amazement, because he had watched "The Mansion Gate" and knew some history of Lejia, so he knew that Lejia would definitely end.

But who doesn't envy Lejia among the merchants in Forty-Nine City?

The previous conjectures were just conjectures, and Lou Xiuneng believed it, which shows his intelligence.

Lou Zhentao was also taken aback, then nodded slowly and said: "Okay, since you all said so, then I will pretend to be sick for another two years, and the family will be safe and sound."

Tan Yuemei said to Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, your second brother sent a letter from Guangdong Province, saying that he followed your advice and went to Guangdong Province to see Mr. Zhong Yuchi for his stomach problems. He really healed a lot! With prejudice, Chinese medicine is indeed scientific and effective, let me say sorry to you.

Ouch, I really hope that the country will get better, and the family will be reunited again by then, it would be great. "

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, definitely!"

The decisive tone made Tan Yuemei laugh happily.

Knowing that her husband and uncle had something to say, she called her two daughters and grandson upstairs.

Sure enough, after they went upstairs, Lou Zhentao asked Li Yuan, "Yuanzi, this time you are going to the Northeast, confiscating some old ginseng, tiger bones and so on?"

Hey, this old six!

Li Yuan was amused in his heart, and said with regret on his face: "No, I have no free time all day, I have been seeing a doctor."

Lou Zhentao looked regretful, and said: "There are many mountains and forests, many tigers, and many wild ginseng. It's a pity to confiscate some."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "In fact, there are not so many. There was a survey in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there were about 400 Siberian tigers. By [-] years, the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences had conducted in-depth investigations in forest areas, and the stock of Siberian tigers was already insufficient. Two hundred. In the past few years, the beatings have been more fierce, probably less."

Who would have thought that by the time of the re-investigation in [-], it would have reached single digits.

By [-], the international investigation team had been in the Northeast for more than two months, and found five Siberian tigers in total...

Ordinary people can't and can't use tiger bones, and the big shots let go if they need them.

This is not only the case in China, but also in Lao Maozi's side.

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

Li Yuan asked someone to collect tiger bones, and Li Huaide and Lou Zhentao collected a total of seven or eight sets. He took another three sets in the Northeast, and he even killed a big cat.

If this goes on, I don't know if he will become the person who collects the most wild tiger bones in the future.

……

"The eldest daughter followed?"

After watching his daughter and son-in-law leave, Lou Zhentao always felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked his wife.

Tan Yuemei said: "Tangyuan has been sleeping with my aunt for the past two years. Xiao'e is a big fool. She brought the child out of bed once and lifted her foot. Xiuxiu won't let her take it anymore."

Lou Zhentao said: "It doesn't seem like it's going on like this."

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

Tan Yuemei said: "Xiuxiu lives very well in Xiao'e's house. She likes her nephew Tangyuan very much. What did she look like two years ago? She was so skinny and depressed all day long. After bringing Tangyuan, she got better and better. If you really call her back, if you feel sad again, what should you do?"

Lou Zhentao said softly: "Why do you think I want to go out of the mountain? Don't I know that things change too fast and it's easy to repeat? The Wanjia is now jumping up and down very well, even when he's old, he went to the Yamen and said that he would devote himself to everything. After death, to develop the economy for socialism.

If he really takes the position, his revenge on us will be fierce. 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, Wanjia was stronger than ours before liberation.Later, the secret agents blew up their power plant, and his three sons failed to live up to expectations, so he became depressed.But if he really makes a comeback again, then... Wan Xiaonian died outside, and he will definitely remember this hatred on our family. "

Tan Yuemei was taken aback, and said, "Oh, what should we do? Wan Xiaonian is actually dead... If he dies, he should die, and he deserves it! Old Lou, have you told Yuanzi about this? You have to Find someone to discuss with, now it’s not the same as before.”

Lou Zhentao nodded and said: "Can I not say it? I want to call Xiuxiu back, but I am worried that the Wan family will take their anger on Yuanzi and Xiao'e. Wan Dehai was notoriously black-hearted back then. A group of people. Although the power plant was torn apart after the bombing, there are still a few who can be used. Our family has it, and the Wan family may not have it. How can I not remind Yuanzi?"

Tan Yuemei said, "What did Yuanzi say?"

Lou Zhentao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "He said, he knew."

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

Lou Zhentao nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "That's it. Tell me, a young doctor has a taller posture than me."

Tan Yuemei said: "Do you think Yuanzi didn't understand what was going on? He thought Wan Dehai's revenge was the same thing as arguing with their courtyard neighbors, so he wasn't afraid?"

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

……

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

After returning home, after Li Yuan told about how he met Gao Weihong and Lu Duoduo in the Northeast, Lou Xiaoe exclaimed.

Lou Xiu smiled and said: "That is a real scholarly family. Both brothers graduated from Yenching University. One is the dean and the other is the principal. The Gao family is also great, the principal of Harbin Institute of Technology. Yuanzi, your nephews also Don’t just go to a technical secondary school, it’s better to go to a university. Most of the technical secondary schools have to go to factories, and graduates can directly enter the central ministries.”

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

More than outrageous, that is the way to death.

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

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

Lou Xiao'e was puzzled and said, "Why do you respect her?"

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

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

Lou Xiu was also speechless to this younger sister. If she came to ask, she would ask, "You also have a lustful heart. If it's not this Gao Weihong, where are you?"
It's not like Lou Xiao'e. Before the man even swore the curse, he felt extremely distressed and even protected her.

But she can't say this, otherwise it will become troublesome, she said: "Will that Lu Duoduo come to the house for treatment?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "No, I'll go there. Well, let's all go to Tsinghua Garden on weekends, take our son to see and see, and get smoked in advance..."

Lou Xiu smiled and said, "Go to Tsinghua University in the future?"

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

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

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

He turned his head and looked at Li Yuan again, it was very good.
