A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 302 The Covenant
"I knew you weren't asleep yet..."

It was already four o'clock in the morning. After Erlou and Nie Yuchen fell asleep, Li Yuan rinsed briefly and went to the baby room to take a look. After opening the door, he saw Qin Daxue sitting by the bed, looking at the sleeping baby. son.

Li Yuan stepped forward and hugged her from the side, saying: "In just four years, he will return to the mainland to study. By then, won't mother and son be reunited?"

Qin Daxue said softly: "I just feel that I owe my children so much that I feel ashamed to be a mother."

Li Yuan laughed dumbly and said: "Then you should be lucky to have me as a good husband, who can make up for all the love you have for your son. They have always talked about me, saying that you are the one who cares about me. They are right, You are the pinnacle of my heart. I won’t deny it in front of them."

If Li Yuan had said it himself, Qin Daxue would not be fooled because of his intelligence.

But because of Lou Xiao'e's previous foreshadowing, she naturally believed it. She raised her face and looked at Li Yuan. The bright moonlight outside the window spilled into the window, reflecting on her beautiful and unparalleled eyes. Her eyes were as thick as mercury and she looked at Li Yuan. She loved him. It penetrates to the bone.

Li Yuan lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and whispered: "If you can't sleep, why don't you go for a walk?"

Hearing this, Qin Daxue hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

The two held hands and went out. After quietly closing the door, they left the villa and walked towards the seaside plank road.

Looking at the moonlit sea not far away, Qin Daxue smiled and said, "You are so good at enjoying it."

Li Yuan hugged her from behind, listening to the gentle sound of the waves together, and said, "As long as you are willing to stay, I will give you the best enjoyment."

After Qin Daxue was silent for a while, he shook his head and said, "You can't tempt me anymore..."

Li Yuan smiled, kissed her gently on the ear, and said, "Okay, I still support you in doing the great cause in your mind."

Qin Daxue looked towards the direction of the factory and saw that the lights were still bright, and asked, "Is there production there at night?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "The phase three clinical trials of the drug have basically ended, and it is only one step away from being launched. With the strong support of the Lancaster family, the Comoli family and Glaxo Company, it is just a matter of time to pass the Drug Administration. It’s a matter of time. Fortunately, it’s winter now and the flu is prevalent. It’s foreseeable that sales will be good, so we have to prepare in advance.”

Walking to a pavilion on the plank road, the two of them took a nap, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the prosperous scene of Kowloon Hong Kong Island in the distance like a city that never sleeps. Li Yuan asked: "When you were studying in Shenghai, Dashenghai was ten miles away. Isn’t this the same scene in the foreign market?”

Qin Daxue shook his head and smiled: "How can it be so good... People in Shenghai actually live a very hard life. They are responsible for one-sixth of the country's finances, but they hand over almost all the money. Compared with the four In Jiucheng, their life is much more difficult. The narrow alleys are sleepy, dark and damp. In this way, some people who have been working formally for more than ten years cannot get a house.

I remember when I was in college, I used to work on projects with my professor and classmates from several colleges. Along the Bund, along the Suzhou River, and all the way to People's Park, there were all people in love.The scariest thing is... they are not just in love, they are actually having sex in People's Park, with their marriage certificates, and they are not afraid of being caught.I remember that our Professor Lin, who was only 37 years old at the time, was a female scholar. She was tired of walking and found a chair to sit down on. Then she found a couple next to her, who seemed to be alone... She was shocked at the time and asked them. Why do people do this?Don't you have any sense of shame?People said that they were a couple and they had their marriage certificates with them, but they still had no house. What could they do?

After returning that time, Professor Lin told us that if China does not develop its economy as soon as possible, it will be a dead end! "

Li Yuan said slowly: "Well said!"

"..."

Qin Daxue looked at him speechlessly and said with disgust: "Ah? What are you doing?"

Li Yuan stopped pretending, hugged her into his arms, and lifted up her nightgown...

……

Four 10 minutes later.

Qin Daxue gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Those three didn't kill you?"

Li Yuan felt refreshed and said: "It's far worse!"

Qin Daxue squinted: "How many more are there?"

Of course Li Yuan knew what was going on: "It's such a big difference, I'll have to grind it up until it's wet, and it won't be bad at all!"

"Pooh!"

Qin Daxue spat, leaned into Li Yuan's arms, feeling the coolness brought by the sea breeze, and said softly: "When the country becomes rich and powerful, and the younger generation gets up, even if I am not old enough to retire, I will retire to find you."

Li Yuan laughed angrily and said: "Just give me a picture! I don't know about people like you? When will China really catch up with the Premier League and surpass the United States, you will probably truly recognize the country's prosperity. If you don't be the first , will you recognize it?"

Qin Daxue smiled sheepishly and said, "No, until one day they can no longer bully us."

Li Yuan smiled and said nothing more.

As long as China is making progress, the countries in front of it will definitely not stop suppressing it. This is inevitable.

There are only so many development resources and space, and the cake is being "eaten" bit by bit. How can they not be in a hurry?

Therefore, the closer China gets to them, the harder they will suppress them and the more unscrupulous they will be.

However, no matter how difficult it is, there will always be people who keep moving forward.

A coward like Li Yuan will do his best if he can. He will definitely not be able to carry the banner.

Just look at the gap between him and Qin Daxue and you will know what an ordinary person is and what a revolutionary warrior is.

Li Yuan may have done a lot of credit for what he did, but he really never thought about carrying a nation forward.

In his self-awareness, he doesn't think he can do such awesome things, and his consciousness is not very good...

In the two lifetimes combined, he has just the character of an ordinary person. It would be too difficult for him to carry such a big banner, and it would crush him to death.

But Qin Daxue is different. She has a fearless perseverance and courage to be the first in the world.

In this aspect, she resembles Mr. Cao very much.

The situation that Mr. Cao faced back then was much crueler and more difficult than that of Qin Daxue. The call to build a new China at that time was far more illusory than the call to build a modern China now.

At that time, Mrs. Cao's importance was no less important than that of the prime minister and the elderly, or even higher. She was the housekeeper of the entire core, handling matters within her duties in an orderly manner, and gained the trust and respect of many parties.

That's why she gritted her teeth and made up her mind to abort the child and reform her wholeheartedly.

Just one sentence: for New China.

One of Li Yuan's biggest gains after traveling through this prosperous era was that he was sure that there really were such great people in this world.

They are really willing to sacrifice themselves for the rise of the nation and push the Chinese nation forward and forward!
Decades later, if a woman made such a sacrifice and said she was doing it for the country and the people, most of the Internet would probably laugh at her.

What the hell, is China going to perish without you?

why?
Because it was an era of lack of faith, the public examination was just for an iron rice bowl, nothing more.

But now, it is an era where faith is shining brightly.

Li Yuan couldn't do it, so he respected her, supported her, and loved her as if she were his heart.

Under the beautiful moonlight, the two of them hugged each other and seemed to blend into one...

……

Early the next morning, Lou Xiao'e announced today's itinerary: the whole family would go to Ocean Park for a fun day!
We were greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the children.

On New Year's Day this year, Ocean Park Hong Kong officially opened at 180 Wong Chuk Hang Road, causing a sensation.

Although Li Xing, He Pingshi, Li Si and his celebrity secretary had already been there, now that the family portrait was being held, they were naturally willing to go together.

"Sister Xiu, you, Sister Tian, ​​and Sister Lin take Xiaoba and Xiaojiu with you in dad's car. Daxue takes the subway with us. She also came here to inspect the situation on Hong Kong Island. She can't see anything in the nanny car. clear."

Lou Xiao'e arranged.

Lou Xiu was naturally noncommittal, as she just didn't like the noisy environment outside.

Sister-in-law Tian and Sister-in-law Lin are the wives of employees at home, and they happen to be breastfeeding. However, there are other women in their family who have given birth at the same time, and they are able to breastfeed their children, so they are invited to come and get a high salary.

The wet nurse does not always have milk, but only for a period of time after giving birth.

The Li family is a relatively kind family. The prerequisite for finding someone is that the wet nurse has someone who can breastfeed her own child.

In the past, no one in a wealthy family cared about the condition of a wet nurse. However, in order to earn money for milk, some poor families would force a woman who had just given birth to work as a wet nurse in a wealthy family. She would feed her children some rice soup and live as long as they could. .

Because they are all employees of the company, the salary is extremely generous. The two women are in a happy mood and are very attentive.Li Yuan told Li Xing: "Be careful. Do you want to arrange a few people to follow?"

Li Xing smiled and said, "Dad, no need."

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Li Si's mouth, and he could not hide his unruly air.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't stand it and complained to Li Yuan: "Look at him, look at him. If you haven't been at home for a year, he will almost become a sperm!"

Li Yuan looked over with puzzled eyes, and Li Si smiled quickly and said: "Dad, I'm laughing at those bad guys outside, how dare they provoke us? I'm here, there's... big brother is here, there are three, four, Five, six...forget it six, there are only five of us brothers here, who dares to mess with our family?"

Fugui cooperated very well and made an arrogant move like a king carrying the cauldron, but his mother slapped him on the head, knocking the cauldron over...

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to Kowloon Walled City for two black boxing fights the day after tomorrow to see if those desperadoes will take you seriously."

Li Si's expression changed slightly and he pursed his lips, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Xing became nervous and said, "Dad, in the ring there, people are really good at killing people."

Li Yuandao: "Have you ever seen it?"

Li Xing hesitated and said truthfully: "I went to see it once with Tan Cheng...and Xiao Shi. Someone from her family followed her."

Li Yuan asked: "Why do you associate with people from Hutchison?"

Li Xing told Annan Tsai's robbery of the Dragon Tiger Hall, and then he contacted Tan Cheng and Chen Shenzhi from Kowloon Walled City and asked them to take action to wipe out Annan Tsai in the refugee camp. Finally, he said: "Dad, there is no direct I went to Ananzi to settle the score, mainly because I was worried that they would jump over the wall or someone would implicate our family. I warned Tan Cheng and Chen Shenzhi not to expose our family. In the past year, the two of them have been assassinated several times, but they fought back It is also more ruthless. Now it has become a feud between Hutchison, Kowloon Walled City and Annan Tsai."

Qin Daxue looked sideways...

Li Yuan nodded. If someone really had strong ill will towards the Li family, he would know about it, so there is nothing to worry about.

Seeing that his father did not blame him, Li Xing breathed a sigh of relief, then looked back at Li Si to ask him to admit his mistake, but Li Si did not look at his eldest brother.

Just go, anyway, he doesn't believe that his father will watch him being beaten to death...

Until Fugui whispered: "Second brother, I will fight with you..."

Li Si was startled and glared: "Fugui, don't go to the walled city secretly. It's too chaotic there, it's life-threatening, and some people like to eat children!"

Li Fugui was not afraid and said boldly: "Second brother, together we are invincible!"

Li Siqian laughed and said: "My father is invincible. We are still a little bit close. If we go there, we will be surrounded and beaten to death..."

"what?"

Fugui was a little disappointed.

Qin Daxue asked Lou Xiao'e, who looked worried, "Where is the Kowloon Walled City?"

Lou Xiao'e said: "Hell on earth. A place where murderers, drug dealers, arms dealers, and people who are not so evil that they can't survive outside will not go there."

Qin Daxue frowned and looked at Li Yuan and said, "Where are you taking your children?"

Li Yuan had no choice but to gesture to Li Xing and Li Si with his chin, and said, "Ask these two, if I didn't take them there, wouldn't they have been there?"

Seeing Xue's mother looking over carefully, Li Xing felt a little oppressed and explained: "Xue's mother, these dark things have always existed. If our family were just ordinary citizens, then we would definitely stay far away. But at home, Business will inevitably intersect with Jianghu. If you don’t understand it, you may be caught off guard.”

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "Although you are excellent, you are still young after all. You can let dad handle these things first."

Li Xing chuckled when he heard this, glanced at his father, and said to Qin Daxue: "Dad doesn't care much about these things. The people outside are also afraid of him and don't want to see him. They would rather deal with me."

Li Si was more straightforward and said with great joy: "Mother Xue, if my father comes forward, those people will probably wet their pants in fear. People in the world say that the man from Longhu Hall is unreasonable at all and has no way of communicating at all. I can’t afford to offend you, I can’t afford to offend you, hahaha!”

After Li Yuan glanced at his second son to shut up, he said to Qin Daxue: "I am mainly a red star facing the sun. I don't see evil and want to eradicate it when I see it, so people outside are afraid of me. However, some business at home It is inevitable that we have to deal with those people again. Forget it, let the boss come forward first. He is more gentle in his work, and everyone likes him. He knows more people in the Hong Kong government than I do. Wait until he graduates from college After that, you can basically leave everything at home to him. If you want to start any projects in the mainland, just call him directly."

Li Xing said: "Mother Xue, I am also Chinese."

Qin Daxue looked at Lou Xiao'e and said with a smile: "Seeing the glutinous rice balls grow to this point, it feels like we are getting old all of a sudden."

Lou Xiao'e said duplicity: "That's why I didn't like to see him, so I asked him to move out early."

Li Si quickly seized the opportunity and said: "Mommy, I should be the one you least like to see! Look, can I move out too... I'll live with my eldest brother!"

Lou Xiao'e explained seriously: "It's not that I dislike looking at you the least, I want to beat you the most! If I don't beat you for a day, I won't be in a good mood! Do you think I can let you move out?"

Amidst the roar of laughter, Li Si fell down.

Before he fell down, Fugui bared his fangs from behind and held on with all his strength, saying loudly: "Second brother, hold on!"

Li Si was so desperate that he hugged his brother and fell to the ground together...

……

In the Ocean Park, Li Zhiguo held his mother's hand, took the Ocean Train and the mountain cable car, and directly arrived at the Summit Paradise.

First, we went to the three-story large shark museum, where we had close contact with sharks and admired the beautiful luminous jellyfish.

There are more than 400 kinds of marine fish, which is a feast for Qin Daxue's eyes.

Li Yuan carried a camera and left many photos for his family.

Wearing a raincoat again, we went to the tropical forest and enjoyed the tropical green forest landscape with various parrots and frogs.

We also took a ride on the 27-meter high-altitude Ferris wheel, overlooking the entire Hong Kong Island scenery, including Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Lamma Island, and Hong Kong Island cityscape.

The mother and son played parent-child activities together, such as Antarctic Wonders, Ocean Adventures, Carousel, Ocean Sky Tower, etc.

We even rode a crazy roller coaster and a sky-rocking swing hammer.

After playing for a day, my legs are soft...

In the next few days, Li Zhiguo and Qin Daxue went to the place where he went to kindergarten and elementary school together, and treated his mother to his favorite Gan brand roast goose, chocolate egg waffles and pineapple oil. and fish eggs.

We wrote our winter vacation homework together and read the texts.

On my birthday on January [-]th, I invited a few good friends to my home and introduced my mother to them...

I blew out the birthday candles with my mom.

However, the good time always passes too fast, too fast.

On the night of the [-]th, until one o'clock at night, Li Zhiguo, who had always been sensible, still refused to close his eyes and sleep.

Even though Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu came over and coaxed her over and over again, they just looked at their mother with their eyes open...

Qin Daxue didn't rush him, and just sat beside his son's bed, humming his childhood songs over and over again...

In the end, Li Yuan had no choice but to say to Qin Daxue: "If that doesn't work, why don't you take him back with you? He's not young anymore. Let him live with Li Mei and the others."

Qin Daxue did not look back. She looked at her bright-eyed son with red eyes and said: "The chaos at home has not completely subsided, and there is no order in the school. The teachers are not interested in teaching, and the students are not interested in studying. Wait for mother to put these things in the district After the chaos is over, let your father take you home for two years at most, okay? I won’t wait until you go to junior high school. That’s too long, and my mother can’t wait any longer. You are here, and you should learn how to take care of yourself first. , learn to wash and cook, and once you learn it, that’s about it. Son, you didn’t let your mother down, and your mother won’t let you down either. This is our agreement, okay?"

Xiao Zhiguo still shed tears in his eyes. He nodded vigorously and said, "Mom, I will never let you down!"

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "Okay, mom believes you, go to sleep."

After Xiao Zhiguo responded, he slowly closed his eyes.

……

Early the next morning, Qin Daxue no longer showed any signs of weakness. He said goodbye to his family one by one, and after giving his son a final hug, he didn't even let Li Yuan see him off. He got into the car sent by the branch and left Qingyi Island. Return to the mainland!
