A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 317 Guilty
"The lanterns have just come on, and the night is still young. Singing, dancing, and shengxiao, beside the ancient road."

When Li Yuan and Qin Daxue took their son out of the ancient palace, fine snowflakes started to fall from the sky.

On a night like this, with my family, this scene is so beautiful that it makes people feel intoxicated.

Chang'an Street was brightly lit, and a Volga car stopped next to Li Yuan and the others. Song Yun got out of the car and complained: "I said I would prepare a car for you, but when I turned around I couldn't find anyone. It was Dr. Li again." idea."

Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Sister Yun, Director Zhao has contributed a lot to tonight's lantern story. You should sit in this car. We can't do it. We will get no reward for no merit."

Song Yun rolled her eyes at the onmyoji, but she was already somewhat immune to his teasing and teasing. She said to Qin Daxue: "Daxue, let us send another car to take you home. It's already snowing lightly." She smiled as she said that stand up.

Send heavy snow on light snow days.

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "I have only walked a few steps, and it is not far to walk back. Sister Yun, please go home quickly. It is getting late and you are not in good health."

Song Yun complained: "It's all Dr. Li's fault for passing on that aloof and sour energy to you. Forget it, I don't care about you anymore, I'll leave first!"

After Song Yun left in the car with her three children, Li Yuan asked Li Zhiguo, "How do you feel tonight?"

Li Zhiguo thought for a while and said: "It is completely different from what was reported in newspapers and TV in Hong Kong Island. Even the people here are mostly ordinary people. It is not like what is described in Hong Kong Island, where there are delicacies from the mountains and sea, wine pools and meat forests. There are just some juices, tea, melon seeds, and peanuts. The conditions in kindergartens on Hong Kong Island are better than these. Dad, is this always the case?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "In terms of ethics, the people here are much better than most officials in the world, at least for now."

Li Zhiguo said: "That's really admirable."

Qin Daxue looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "You feel very happy today?"

Li Yuan hesitated and said, "Really?"

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "There is a feeling that... my whole body becomes relaxed and relaxed."

Li Yuan said affectionately: "Maybe it's because I heard that so many big guys admire you and are willing to endorse you, I feel relieved. You know, I have always been worried about you."

Qin Daxue was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear and said angrily: "Don't come here!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes a little sticky...

But in the end, I was worried about my son's presence, so I stopped at a glance.

Li Yuan put his hands behind his back, looked at the snow falling in the capital, and said with a smile: "But then again, it does feel a lot easier."

From 25 to today, it has been [-] years.

For 25 years, I have been fearful and cautious in my words and deeds, fearing that I would take a wrong step or say a wrong sentence, which would lead to unpredictable consequences.

Even seven decades later, there is still the risk of instability.

until today.

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "There are many people who feel the same as you, but they are different from you. You just feel relaxed, but you will not indulge. Those people not only feel relaxed, but also start to indulge."

Li Yuandao: "There are a lot of indulgent people in those ten years. Didn't I just kill a lot of young people, and the forgetful things they did are amazing. The two brothers of that family, the general, were sentenced to death, right? Good guy, 140 Many women, they are really brave. These things were inevitable in the past, are inevitable now, and will be inevitable in the future. If you find out, just arrest them and knock their heads off. Generally speaking, the general direction is always good."

Qin Daxue nodded and said: "At least we can let go and develop the economy. By the way, will Mei Changning tell Xiaoyu's parents about you?"

Li Yuan was not afraid: "What can I tell you? Xiaoyu and I didn't get the certificate in Hong Kong Island. I already told you that Xiaoyu has a good relationship with my ex-wives. What can they do to me?"

Qin Daxue smiled and scolded: "How shameless!" and then said: "If China Resources wants to intervene in Datang Pharmaceuticals, how are you going to refuse?"

Li Yuan chuckled: "Then they are overthinking it. Mr. Cao has already said that I am a person with low consciousness. I have my own patriotic way, and their thoughts cannot be imposed on me."

Qin Daxue nodded and said: "Yes! Don't give in from the beginning. If you take a step back, these people will push forward. Their appetites will not be satisfied."

Li Yuandao said: "It's thanks to you that I hugged the big thick legs, otherwise I would have really made a fool of myself." He also mentioned his son: "Look, this is the importance of marrying a good wife!"

Li Zhiguo nodded with deep understanding.

Qin Daxue was in a happy mood and burst into laughter on the snowy night.

She wouldn't be modest about this. With Mr. Cao as a big tree, Li Yuan really wasn't afraid of those things like flies and dogs!
Li Yuan smiled and said: "However, I think this person is not that kind of person."

Li Zhiguo looked up at his father and said, "Dad, what if an old comrade comes to talk to you?"

Li Yuan did not answer the question directly. He smiled and said: "In life, you are always making choices. Different choices mean completely different directions. But if a person wants to stick to his heart, no matter what he faces, he will The choice will not change."

Qin Daxue said: "Please tell your son more specifically."

Li Yuan nodded, looked at Li Zhiguo and said: "Choosing what you should choose is called bravery. Choosing what you shouldn't choose is called helplessness. Giving up what you shouldn't give up is called cowardice. Giving up what you should give up is called wisdom. Old comrades come to talk to me. , let me choose what I shouldn’t choose and give up what I shouldn’t give up. Do I have to compromise? Of course not.

I am doing my best and contributing to my motherland.I have done what I should do, and if they ask me to make sacrifices again, then they are ignorant.How could I compromise because of their ignorance? "

Li Zhiguo said in confusion: "Then who will judge whether it should be done or not?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Of course it's us! Why should others decide our own life choices?"

Seeing his son's eyes light up, Qin Daxue added: "The premise is that you must be strong enough. If dad relies on others to succeed, then he cannot be independent."

Li Yuan then added: "Or, your parents are strong enough."

Qin Daxue rolled her eyes at him, and Li Yuan smiled and said: "You must tell him the truth about this world..."

Qin Daxue continued: "Son, my parents are working hard, and of course they want to do more for the country and nation. Otherwise, with our family's current conditions, our whole family can live a relaxed and comfortable life, but we don't.

But it is undeniable that we also have some selfish motives, that is, we want you, brothers and sisters, to be able to make your own choices in the future, instead of being forced by others in any name. We will not let you be punished just because you say "carry forward your style". Wronged.

When it comes to governing the country, your parents can't give you a luxurious life. Even if your father has the ability, I won't let him.

What we can give you is the freedom to make your own life choices and the right to say no. "

Li Yuan sighed: "When you grow up, you will know how valuable this freedom is.

This has a lot to do with more money and less power, but it is not inevitable.

Because although some people live a life of prosperity and wealth, those things also cover their eyes that could look at the stars, making them obsessed with life, and their life is fleeting.

This is also the reason why mom doesn’t want to give you too rich a material life.

And this freedom of choice will allow you to truly perceive the world, experience the world, and live a good life. "

Although Li Zhiguo still didn't quite understand what he said, he was deeply moved and happy.

I am lucky to have such parents, and I am also lucky to be able to receive such teachings.

...Li Yuan guessed that this person would come to the door soon, but he didn't expect that he would come so quickly.

The next day, when Qin Daxue went to work, Li Zhiguo went to school, and Li Yuan was still wearing an apron and washing the dishes, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a fat man like Maitreya outside.

Not bad, very polite. I have a bag of apples in my hand, two bottles of Maotai...

"Yuanzi, we are the same age, so it doesn't matter who is the brother or who is the brother. You can just call me Aning."

Mei Changning said with a cheerful smile.

Li Yuan also laughed: "You can call me patriotic."

Mei Changning burst out laughing, gave a thumbs up and said, "You are still taller!"

After following Li Yuan into the house, he looked at the furnishings and nodded secretly.

After sitting down, Li Yuan poured a cup of tea and said, "You guys just want to investigate some important things. Why are you investigating my boss? I'm not a bad person."

Seeing his casual tone, Mei Changning also twitched his lips and said, "Do you think we are willing to meddle in other people's business? Your family has made such a big fuss on Hong Kong Island. If we continue to turn a blind eye, , is it fair to say? Yuanzi, you can single-handedly open up the situation in Hong Kong Island, and you can also use your true talents and knowledge to establish Datang Pharmaceuticals, and launch two blockbuster drugs. I specifically asked the medical experts here, and they were all shocked. , praising you as a national treasure-level expert and scholar who has accomplished almost impossible things. You are really good at it... Genzi, is there an opportunity for us to cooperate?"

Li Yuan thought about it seriously and asked, "For the sake of the country?"

After Mei Changning laughed for a while, he nodded and said: "Yes, for the sake of the country!"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and then shook his head and said: "Forget it about Hong Kong Island. I have my own plans behind my stall. It is not suitable to introduce partners at the moment. We can cooperate with the mainland, all-round cooperation. Datang will provide technology and some For funds and advanced management, China Resources is responsible for coordinating relationships and providing part of the funds.”

Mei Changning said speechlessly: "You don't even have management? Then isn't China Resources suffering a big loss?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Company settlement can be done on Hong Kong Island. China Resources pays in RMB and Datang pays in US dollars."

Mei Changning's eyes suddenly lit up, like light bulbs, and said: "Really?"

Does the country have money?

There is money, but most of it is in RMB.

However, the RMB is not recognized outside. If you want to buy equipment and resources outside, you need US dollars.

At this time, the status of RMB in the international market was no different from that of Q coins in later generations. It could only be used in specific game halls...

But there is really nothing good in China at the moment, and the good things are all outside.

Of course, Li Yuan does not suffer a loss by using U.S. dollars for settlement, because the production materials are real, such as Chinese herbal medicines. If you buy them in U.S. dollars and sell them, you can still exchange them for U.S. dollars, which has almost no impact on him.

However, so much domestic investment requires a lot of RMB.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Am I doing this for the sake of subjugating the country?"

Mei Changning gave a thumbs up and laughed: "Yes, yes, you call it patriotism, of course you love the country!" After laughing, he laughed at himself: "I'm not afraid of brothers' jokes. We people who work externally are really poor and crazy. Now the country's foreign exchange I’m so nervous that even one dollar turned into two dollars isn’t enough. There are so many things outside that I can’t move away from, it’s embarrassing.”

Li Yuandao: "It will only take two years to develop. But don't worry. Although oseltamivir sold well last year, Glaxo was very evil and set the marketing cost too high, so it didn't make any sales." I don’t have many dollars on hand. This year will be better, and I’ll probably have more money in the second half of the year.”

Mei Changning was not picky and said with a smile: "Sure! It's fine if you have it. It's better to have it late than never! I heard that you are good at cooking. Let's cook a couple of dishes and chat while drinking? There are many heroes in Sijiu City, but like This is the first time you are like this."

Li Yuan said: "Forget it today, I have something to do with someone I've made an appointment with, so I won't join in the fun. In a few days, I'll kill the New Year pig in the countryside, get some pig meat and have a good meal. Leave your phone number and I'll call you." "

After Mei Changning laughed for a while, he left a phone number and stood up to leave. When he heard that Li Yuan was going to Peking University, he happily said, "What a coincidence, I'm about to go there too."

Seeing Li Yuan's suspicion and disbelief, he clicked his tongue and said, "I'm going to ask Mr. Ji Xianlin for some advice. Mr. Ji Xianlin is proficient in twelve languages. We who work externally often ask him for help."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Let's go."

"Why are you going to Peking University?"

"Meet an old friend."

……

After seeing Li Yuan's old friend on the Peking University campus, Mei Changning was truly convinced by his grandson.

Gao Weihong was wearing a woolen coat and a scarf, with an intellectual and gentle beauty on her thin face. Her eyes flashed when she looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's face was a little dark. He looked at Gao Weihong and said softly: "Sister Weihong, I just learned some news. I haven't heard from you all these years. How are you doing?"

Gao Weihong's husband died of illness due to overwork.

This news was told to him by Li Yuan, the know-it-all of the old Li family, two days ago...

Gao Weihong turned pale, nodded and smiled: "It's okay. Yuanzi, how have you been these past few years? I've been trying to find out about you, but I can only see your name in the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook"."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I'm fine." Then he introduced to Mei Changning: "This is Gao Weihong, a sister I met when I went to Daqing to support the battle. She is the daughter of the former president Gao of Harbin Institute of Technology. Aning, you have to go and do it first. I'll chat with Sister Wei Hong for a while."

After Mei Changning left, Li Yuan and Gao Weihong started walking on the Peking University campus, talking about the ups and downs of the past ten years.

The most ruthless thing in this world is time. The cheerful and enthusiastic young woman back then has now become a middle-aged woman who has lost her lover.

What remains unchanged is the touching concern, tenderness and attentiveness.

The two chatted for an hour and a half, then came to the Weiming Lake and looked at the Boya Tower not far away. Li Yuan invited: "Sister Wei Hong, come to Hong Kong Island and help me."

He could feel the melancholy and sadness in this sister's heart. If things continued like this, it would easily destroy her body.

Li Yuan had no disrespectful thoughts towards this old friend. She was the hero's wife.

He simply believed that such a woman should live a good life.

He is also a good friend that he likes very much.

Without giving her a chance to refuse, Li Yuan told her everything he had done, and finally said: "The laboratory needs an absolutely trustworthy person to be the laboratory management director, but I can't find such a person now. Wei Hong Sister, you are a top student at Peking University and majored in biology, so you are very suitable. If you don’t come to help me, it will be too difficult for me!"

Gao Weihong looked at his lively friend with his brows and eyes dancing, and said with a smile: "You are still the same as before, and the things you do are still so unexpected and thrilling. I will think about it and discuss it with my family. How is your living situation now? ? I remember that your son should be... nineteen this year, right? Your family of three must live a happy life on Hong Kong Island. "

Li Yuan couldn't stop laughing. In front of this sister he had always liked and respected, and facing her pure eyes, he actually felt a little ashamed and guilty?

Damn it, I haven’t felt this cramped in years...

"Sister Wei Hong, this matter... it's a long story!"
