A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 320: Your family is so rich, why don’t you donate it to the country?
Compared with the joyful life in the Li family compound in Qinjiazhuang, Li Zhiguo's life here was a bit difficult.

The junior sister's birthday party was not held in the compound where they lived, but was going to Haizili, Mr. Qiao's residence.

Mr. Qiao, even during those ten years of ups and downs, was not greatly affected and held a high position.

With a gun in one hand and a pickaxe in the other, the scenery in Nanniwan is beautiful, and the Gobi desert in Western Xinjiang has been transformed into fertile land, which has made great contributions to the country.

He is the old man's confidant, the only one who is allowed to meet with him with a gun!

He is also the pioneer general who has been re-opened now.

All the children born in Qiao’s family are sons, and most of the children in the next generation will be grandchildren. The second son Qiao Xing’s family gave birth to a precious daughter,

Celebrating my granddaughter’s birthday every year is a small special privilege.

How could Li Zhiguo know about this? He was still holding his hand-drawn Chengtianmen drawing paper in his hand. He was riding in the Qiao family's car and followed Qiao Yue's parents all the way into Haizi.

Qiao Yue went up last night and specifically told her parents that when Li Zhiguo comes today, she will definitely bring him with her...

Looking at the upright Li Zhiguo, Qiao Xing and his wife Liu Yuan smiled at each other.

Families like theirs have a much more lenient upbringing for their children, and they don't think this is love, but a pure friendship between children.

Maybe more than friendship, but there is no need to regard it as a scourge.

What's more, they already know Li Zhiguo's family background very clearly.

Several elderly people have long been more optimistic about Qin Daxue, especially Mr. Cao.

When Mr. Cao's tearful words "Such a thing will never happen again, I will definitely protect you" came out, it made many children from aristocratic families almost go blind with red eyes.

But no one can be jealous, because just after saying this, Qin Daxue worked solidly in the countryside for three more years!
He led the commune farmers to build greenhouses, grow vegetables and fennel, and build a vegetable basket project in a pool of stagnant water. It was a great success!
What kind of family background can compare with this?

If it hadn't been for finding a... strange man who held him back somewhat, his future would have been limitless!
Even now, the momentum of soaring into the sky is still unstoppable.

They are happy to see Qiao Yue make friends with such friends.

However, it could be seen that the child was a little silent and introverted, so the couple did not tease him much. They asked a few questions in a normal manner, and after a while of greeting the old man, the car passed the customs and drove into Haizi...

"Zhi Guo, have you been here before?"

After getting off the car, they still had to walk a while. Liu Yuan liked this handsome and outrageous boy very much, so she held his hand and asked.

Although he was not used to it, it was difficult for Li Zhiguo to break away. He nodded and said, "Yes. I came here on New Year's Day to attend the dance with my parents."

Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Oh, that day, it's a pity that I had something to do and couldn't come that day, otherwise I could meet your parents..."

Qiao Xing also smiled and said: "The old people praised your mother enough that day. Your mother is amazing."

What else could Li Zhiguo say? He could only say: "Thank you, Uncle Qiao and Aunt Liu."

The couple laughed and arrived at Qiao's old residence in a blink of an eye. They saw Qiao Yue in the yard with one hand on her hips and one hand pointing at several boys of about the same age and scolding: "You are so annoying!"

"Little Moon!"

Liu Yuan drank with some displeasure.

Qiao Yue looked over, her eyes suddenly lit up, she ran over with a colorful cotton skirt, spun around in front of Li Zhiguo, and said proudly: "Does it look good?"

Li Zhiguo nodded with some difficulty and said, "You look good."

Forget about the skirt, it's too vulgar.

But this sentence was more lethal than complimenting the dress. Qiao Xing felt that his daughter's face was shining, and she said happily: "Really?!"

Qiao Xing felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't like Li Zhiguo. This boy... there are still some problems in his family education.

Seeing that her husband's expression was not good, Liu Yuan secretly laughed in her heart, coughed twice, and reminded Qiao Yue: "Xiaoyue, haven't you seen your parents?"

Qiao Yue was very smart. She stepped forward to hold Liu Yuan's hand, and took Li Zhiguo's hand from her free hand. She said happily: "How could you not see it? It's my son's birthday, my mother's Good Friday, Mom, I I missed you so much last night!”

Liu Yuan was satisfied. As for Qiao Xing... let him do whatever he wanted.

There was a boy who was about the same height as Qiao Yue. He got a general's coat from somewhere and put it on. He also had his hair parted in the middle. His face looked ugly now.

However, no matter how stupid the child is, he is still polite to his elders, and he and four or five other boys say hello to Qiao Xing and Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan started to teach her a lesson: "Liu Weihong, be honest. Why are you doing this in this place?"

This is her maternal cousin, and her background is not low, but compared with the Qiao family, she is several levels behind.

Liu Weihong responded honestly, but still pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Auntie, this classmate is... We don't seem to have such a relative in our family, right?" Her tone was friendly.

Without Liu Yuan opening her mouth, Qiao Yue said, "His name is Li Zhiguo. He is our neighbor. We both go to Huangchenggen Primary School."

Liu Weihong stepped forward with a smile and extended her hand, pretending to be mature and said: "Hello, my name is Liu Weihong. I am in the first grade of junior high school this year. I am from Yuying Middle School."

Li Zhiguo felt the strength in his hand, and did not tighten it in the same way. Instead, he smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Li Zhiguo. I am in the third grade this year. I am from Huangchenggen Primary School."

"Oh!"

The false smile on Liu Weihong's face disappeared and was replaced by a happy smile that could not be concealed. He felt that he had misunderstood, and suddenly became enthusiastic and said: "Oh, it turns out to be a primary school student... little brother. Let's go, let's go , go play with your brothers."

Qiao Yue opened his hand and said angrily: "What are you doing? Who is your brother?"

Li Zhiguo smoothed things over and gave the painting in his hand to Qiao Yue, saying: "Sister Xiaoyue, this is a birthday gift for you. I painted it myself."

Hearing this, Qiao Yue instantly turned from anger to joy, and everyone else also looked over.

After Qiao Yue carefully took the rolled up drawing paper, she asked Li Zhiguo: "Did I open it?"

Li Zhiguo nodded, and Qiao Yue opened the drawing paper happily. When she saw the familiar city gate tower, her eyes froze. She turned around and asked Li Zhiguo carefully: "Did you take it by mistake?"

Liu Weihong and several boys around him burst into wild laughter like a drake: "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"

Qiao Xing also chuckled, and Liu Yuan helped set up a step and asked: "Zhi Guo, why did you paint Chengtian Gate?"

Li Zhiguo said calmly and calmly: "Because this is the most solemn and sacred place I have ever seen."

"Gah!"

Liu Weihong's laughter stopped suddenly, and she glanced at Qiao Yue, who still had a disappointed look on her face, and said quickly: "Primary school student, your reason is too far-fetched. Isn't this the Chengtian Sect? You can meet whenever you want, no matter what month you don't meet. Come back, what's the matter..."

"To shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yuan scolded: "Think before you speak. If you don't know what to say, just shut up!"

Liu Weihong's face turned red, and her eyes towards Li Zhiguo began to look evil again.

Qiao Yue suddenly figured it out, looked at Li Zhiguo and said, "This is your first time meeting Chengtianmen this year, isn't it?"

Li Zhiguo shook his head and said: "When I first met my father when I was two years old, he took me to see him once and took photos. Then when I came back this time, I saw him again. I was...missing my mother outside. When I visit, I will also think of Chengtianmen.”

Qiao Yue was so moved that she held the scroll carefully, looked at Li Zhiguo and said, "Zhiguo, this is the most precious birthday gift I have ever received."

Someone inside urged: "What are you doing outside? The old man is urging me! Xiaoyue, come in quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Liu Yuan said hurriedly: "Come on, come on! Sister-in-law, come in right now."

Qiao Yue took Li Zhiguo's hand and said, "Let's go in and see our grandparents!"

Li Zhiguo could only follow Qiao Yue in. The room was warm and the heating was on. Many people saw Qiao Yue coming in holding hands with a beautiful little boy. They were surprised to see Qiao Xing and Liu Yuan. Kouzi came in with a smile, just thinking he was a child from some family.

Qiao Yue took Li Zhiguo all the way to the end and shouted happily: "Grandpa, grandma, my good friends are here to celebrate my birthday!"

The two white-haired people who were talking looked over together. Li Zhiguo followed Liu Yuan's instructions before, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Hello, Grandpa Qiao, hello Grandma Liu. I am a friend of Sister Qiao Yue. My name is Li Zhiguo." .”

Qiao Xing smiled and explained to his father: "Comrade Qin Daxue's child goes to and from school together with Xiaoyue every day. The two siblings have a very good relationship."

Mr. Qiao suddenly realized, "Oh" and said with a smile, "This little guy is really beautiful!"

Grandma Liu smiled and said: "It's so beautiful, she is really good at giving birth!"

Qiao Yue Xianbao: "Grandpa, grandma, you see, this is a painting painted by Zhiguo himself. It was a birthday gift he gave me. Zhiguo didn't meet his father until he was two years old, and then left the capital. He came back this year and saw Cheng again. Tianmen, he said, this is the most sacred and solemn place in his heart!"

Mr. Qiao smiled meaningfully and asked: "Children in governance, what do you think of Forty-Nine City compared with Hong Kong Island?" Obviously, he not only knew Qin Daxue's name, but also knew something about her personal resume.

Li Zhiguo thought about it seriously and said: "Hong Kong Island is prosperous and impetuous, while Forty-Nine City is poor and heavy."

A group of adults had astonishment in their eyes. Is this what a primary school student can say?
Mr. Qiao laughed and said: "Comrade Daxue has a good family background. No, it should be that Dr. Li, who has a good way of educating his children."

Qiao Xing smiled and said: "His eldest brother has been performing very well recently. At the age of 19, he won the position of Hang Seng Bank, which is the second largest listed bank in Hong Kong after HSBC. I will join CITIC in Hong Kong after the year. You will have to say hello to him from now on. Hey, this is a step down." Qiao Xing's eldest brother Qiao Zheng said: "What do you mean?"

Qiao Xing smiled and said: "This little guy's family background is not as complicated as usual. He is a sixth brother at home and has five brothers. The first three were born to Dr. Li and his ex-wife, and the eldest is named Li Xing. Dr. Li He has been working in the laboratory on Hong Kong Island and produced two blockbuster drugs that are amazingly effective and sell well in the West. The rest of the Li family's business is managed by his ex-wife, his ex-wife's sister, and... ahem , the girl from the Nie family, let’s take care of it together..."

"Nie family? Which Nie family?"

Everyone present was stunned.

Qiao Xing seemed to be deliberately testing Li Zhiguo, and said: "Little guy, do you introduce it yourself or should I do it? What I said may not be accurate. Don't blame me if word gets out."

Li Zhiguo said: "Uncle Qiao, let me tell you. Mother Yu is my godmother. She is the daughter of the deputy director of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. She met Xiao'e's mother when she was very young. Later we met again on Hong Kong Island. They became good friends. Mother Yu liked me very much and accepted me as her godson."

Qiao Xing chuckled and said: "Not bad, there is a little difference in understanding from me, but not much."

Mr. Qiao praised: "At such a young age, he speaks clearly and methodically, which is good."

Qiao Xing smiled and said: "I know more about the External Relations Department, and his eldest brother is even more amazing. Under the age of 19, he forced George Sassoon, the man behind HSBC Bank, to fail in Hong Kong Island. He united with the major wealthy families in Hong Kong Island. , Shengsheng picked out a big piece of fat from the mouth of the British-owned HSBC consortium. The Rong family member told me that he was shocked when he found out. Now the name of the prince is spread all over Hong Kong Island. This Dr. Li is really Dare you let his eldest son take over the family business at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and he will be the boss and live happily..."

Li Zhiguo thought for a while and corrected him: "Uncle Qiao, my dad is not lazy. He does experiments in the laboratory every day. My dad said that although China's industry is backward, it has at least laid a comprehensive foundation. And Chinese medicine The industry does not even have a basic foundation. All the generic drugs are not even [-]% as effective as the original drugs. On the contrary, they have a lot of nephrotoxicity. Every year, the number of children who become deaf and mute because of taking crude generic drugs is ten. My father is not interested in making money. He only makes money to do scientific research and make his own contribution to the Chinese pharmaceutical industry. My father is the most respected person by my eldest brother and our whole family."

Qiao Xing felt very uncomfortable for a moment, telling the truth, fearing that the child would be too young to bear it.

Don't talk about it, I feel very depressed.

Mr. Qiao looked at his third son, Qiao Wei, who was the most highly educated person in the family. He would lead a team to develop China's first electronic computer in the future and would be quite successful.

Qiao Wei said: "I don't know much about it, but the general situation is almost the same. There is no way. If you want to provide medicine for one billion people, you have to consider the cost. Yes, it is better than nothing. The toxicity of medicine is better than that of viruses and germs The fatality is weak. The objective conditions are like this."

Mr. Qiao nodded slowly. Li Zhiguo remained silent. Qiao Yue pulled his hand and said, "Do you disagree with what Third Uncle said?"

Qiao Wei smiled casually and said: "The truth becomes clearer with each argument. My little friend, you can continue to say a few words for your father. If I am wrong, I will definitely admit it. Our family is very particular about seeking truth from facts."

Everyone around laughed, and Li Zhiguo shook his head and said: "I have no different opinions. My father also said that the pharmaceutical industry in the mainland is difficult to develop because the country is not yet strong and prosperous. This is the fundamental reason. At this stage, the country's total foreign exchange reserves are not The market value of a Western pharmaceutical company is high. For a long time in the future, the country will not be able to carry out real drug research and development. This means that hundreds of millions of people will have to endure poor drugs for many years.

What my father did was to develop as many original drugs as possible in exchange for the imitation rights and production processes of many drugs from Western pharmaceutical companies.My father said that as long as he can accomplish this one thing in his life, he will live up to the name of the Chinese. "

Mr. Qiao had a straightforward temper and laughed: "Kid, I really want to meet your dad now. Where is your dad?"

Li Zhiguo smiled sheepishly and said: "My father invited my grandfather, grandmother, seven uncles, aunts, and many cousins ​​to dinner today. I am coming to celebrate Sister Xiaoyue's birthday today, and he is still very unhappy. However, he said he respected my choice and supported me in being a man of my word."

Qiao Yue was extremely happy, and Qiao Xing was also overjoyed and said: "There are only eight brothers of Dr. Li. How many of this little guy's generation... are there?"

Li Zhiguo said: "I am 38, my brother is 39, and my sister is [-]."

Everyone in the hall laughed so hard, this was so hilarious!

Mr. Qiao and Grandma Liu laughed, and Mr. Qiao said: "How about you bring your father to see me next time? Just say that there is a Qiao Huzi who wants to see him."

After Li Zhiguo nodded in agreement, he said a little embarrassedly: "My father will definitely criticize me..."

Qiao Laoqi asked: "Why?"

Li Zhiguo said: "My father doesn't like to meet people. He is a bit shy. Except for doing experiments in the laboratory and treating patients, he doesn't want to interact with people outside. Most of our family's affairs are handled by my eldest brother."

Qiao Xing looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yes. Just like that, the Li family has almost become the first-tier wealthy family in Hong Kong. It's just a matter of time. Their two medicines are like money printing machines, and they can print money for 20 years." , all printed in U.S. dollars. Changning brought Maotai to the door two days ago, and he probably also wants to cooperate."

Liu Weihong listened for a long time, finally understood, and asked doubtfully: "Your family makes so much money, and it's still foreign exchange, why don't you donate it to the country?"

Many people in the hall changed their expressions, not because of Li Zhiguo, but because of Mr. Cao who was standing behind Qin Daxue.

Qiao Xing scolded in displeasure: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you attacking local tyrants and even going to Hong Kong Island?"

Liu Weihong probably had water in his head and muttered in a low voice: "I was so great just now, but in the end I became a capitalist..."

The man next to Liu Weihong was probably his father. He was so angry that he wanted to slap him. This bitch didn't even know what it meant to talk trouble out of his mouth.

There are still rumors circulating in the circle that Mr. Cao promised to protect Qin Daxue in tears and prevent her from making the same mistakes again. Whoever throws dirty water on Qin Daxue's family at this time is not seeking death?
Li Zhiguo remained calm and smiled: "My father told me this. He said, what's wrong with seeking profit? It's never a sin for ordinary people to pursue wealth, just like being poor is not an honor. A gentleman loves money, as long as he gets it. Dao, that is a glorious thing. He did not use his power to enjoy privileges or engage in corruption. He just became rich as an ordinary common person. Isn't reform and opening up just to let the common people pursue wealth?

Classmate Liu Weihong, the premise for you to ask others to do something is to do something yourself.

My brother once told me that regardless of the contribution my father's current career will make to the country, just because he compiled the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" and suggested the promotion of pressurized water wells during the three years, Saved thousands of people.

Also, the textbooks used by all college students in China were bought from the West by my father over the years, and he had them translated and verified to be correct.

The original domestic teaching materials are more than 30 years behind the international advanced level.

If we were to rank those who have made great contributions to the country in the past 30 years, my father would definitely be ranked within the top [-].

I don’t know who is among these 1 people, but I am certain that you are not there.

So, what qualifications do you have to criticize my father? "

The Qiao family and their relatives and friends all stared at the little boy who was being held by Qiao Yue.

In fact, it's not too small, it's 1.5 meters.

It's just that the boy who was originally thought to be very low-key and silent, turned out to be so dazzling and sharp at this moment!

But soon, after just a little reflection, everyone began to understand where this son's "wild talk" came from.

It is not only due to Mr. Cao, but also due to the fact that the Li family, as ordinary people, has been silently contributing to the country, even in those years.

The selfless dedication, coupled with the love and care that Mr. Cao and many other elders now have for Qin Daxue, gave this child the confidence to be neither humble nor overbearing at the Qiao family's family banquet!

It is foreseeable that from today on, after this birthday party, when people in the Four-Nine City circle talk about Li Yuan, it will not only be the man behind Qin Daxue...

He has his own merits and his own glory.

He is an upright and upright hero in the eyes of his children!

……

After Liu Weihong apologized to Li Zhiguo, his father took him away early.

Fortunately, after he apologized, Li Zhiguo said: "Classmate Liu Weihong, you have sincerely apologized. I won't tell my parents."

This sentence saved half his life, and also made the Qiao family's favorable impression of Li Zhiguo improve a lot.

Grandma Liu joked and praised: "Little comrade, you are quite good at uniting people." This made the whole room laugh.

While waiting for dinner, because Mr. Qiao liked it better, Li Zhiguo was brought to the main table as a foreign guest and placed next to Qiao Yue.

Qiao Xing also joked with Li Zhiguo: "The wild ginseng and sea food I ate in Hong Kong Island, will I be able to get used to the food in the Four-Nine Cities when I come back?"

Li Zhiguo shook his head and said: "My father cooks every day at home, and it's no different when I come back. My father's cooking skills are very good, and our children all like to eat the home-cooked food cooked by his father."

Qiao Yue testified: "Dad, Zhiguo is not picky about food at all when he eats at school. I give him all the cabbage and meatballs that I don't like!"

Qiao Xing was a little confused. He slapped the table and said, "You don't like cabbage and meatballs? You used to compete with me to eat them!"

A table full of people laughed.

Grandma Liu asked curiously: "Your father is so busy, but he still has time to cook for you every day?"

Li Zhiguo said seriously: "Grandma Liu, my father said that there are two important things that people should not neglect, eating and sleeping. Only by doing these two important things well can you do other things well. If you can't do these two things well, There is no other way to talk about it. Every child in our family has learned to cook from his father since childhood."

Qiao Yue's eyes were bright as she looked at Li Zhiguo and said, "Zhiguo, do you know how to cook?"

Li Zhiguo nodded.

Mr. Qiao chuckled and said, "Then what does your mother say? As far as I know, your mother has a desperate attitude when doing things."

Li Zhiguo smiled sheepishly and said, "My mother said that my father was just looking for an excuse to be a loser."

While everyone was laughing, Li Zhiguo added hurriedly: "But my mother also admits that only by eating and sleeping on time can you have a good body. Only with a good body can you do a good job."

Mr. Qiao looked a little emotional and nodded: "Yes, the old man persuaded me like this back then. But I was still young and vigorous at that time and didn't understand this truth. I worked in Xijiang without risking my life. I did it twice in two years. Gastrointestinal surgery. When I came back for a meeting, I met the old man. The old man asked me, Qiao Hu, why are you so thin? I said, you have a bad intestine. The old man smiled and said, you have a bad intestine, but you have a good heart."

Mr. Qiao was a little sentimental. After a few words of relief from Grandma Liu and the Qiao family, Mr. Qiao looked at the young people in the family with a calm expression and said: "So, you should learn from this. No matter how busy you are at work, you must first eat well and sleep well. Sleep. The father of the child who governs the country is very good at cooking. He cooks every day, which does not delay others from making such a big contribution. How can you still have the nerve to say that you are busy with work and have no time to eat? "

Qiao Yue applauded warmly: "Dad, you can also cook at home from now on!"

Qiao Xing: "..."

Why is it that the more I look at this boy from the Li family, the more dazzling I feel?
