A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 357: In this life, two mothers

Chapter 357: In this life, two mothers ([-] words update, please vote for me!)

The streets of Sijiu City in the winter of 1980 were much livelier than they were in the 70s and [-]s.

There are a lot more colors and a lot more expressions.

Bicycles are still precious, but to the people of Forty-Nine City, they are no longer a rare item. A mighty army of bicycles has taken shape on the streets.

However, the number of cars is still sparse. On the wide road, a few cars occasionally drive by, mostly Jiefang trucks from the factory and buses passing by.

The number of cars is rare, but what is interesting is that CITIC’s first foreign trade business was through borrowing money and bringing in [-] taxis from abroad, called Bairu Taxi.

But two hundred of them were sprinkled in Sijiu City, just like a handful of pebbles were sprinkled into the sea...

Nie Yu held Li Yuan's arm and walked forward. Not many men and women dared to do this in the street.

But even though this move attracted the attention of many people, Nie Yu didn't care at all.

Since she was a teenager, her dream has been to one day walk like this on the arm of the man next to her.

What's more, they are getting married today!
Small businesses and vendors have begun to appear on the streets, which would have been almost impossible a year ago.

After more than 20 years, it finally appears again...

It's interesting to say that these people, who are slovenly dressed and far less polished than cadres, workers and students, have sacrificed a lot of pride and almost had no other choice before doing this kind of "speculation". They have been spurned by the people for decades. Seriously, under tremendous pressure.

But even they themselves did not expect that "speculation" would be so profitable.

Those who make atomic bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs, and those who hold scalpels are not as good as those who hold razors. This is where it started.

The market economy, which has been idle for more than 20 years, has ushered in a recovery, and retaliatory consumption has quietly appeared. It is not difficult to understand why explosive profits can be made.

Of course, those high-level intellectuals who are working on atomic bombs and holding scalpels will indeed have to suffer for some years...

"what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly Nie Yu's voice came to his ears. Li Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Nie Yu who was looking at him suspiciously, and spoke softly: "I am immersed in the happiness at this moment."

Nie Yu immediately became happy and said: "Me too! Yuanzi, I have thought about this scene for many years! I didn't dare to think about it at first, but I didn't expect that it actually came true!"

Li Yuan held her hand tightly and said, "You have always been at the top of my heart, and I have always cared about you."

Nie Yu actually wanted to be moved, but couldn't hold it back. He chuckled and kicked the grandson with his foot.

Li Yuan secretly regretted that he had gone too far, but he still said stubbornly, "Really!"

Nie Yu gave him a blank look, hugged his arm tightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not jealous at all. Daxue is better looking than me, and her appearance is unmatched by those ladies and ladies in Hong Kong. And she's more capable than me. We are enjoying the blessings with you, but she has really become the successor of socialism as we sang when we were children. I am not angry at all if you favor her more and love her more."

If Li Yuan believes this, then all four of his wives are picked up. He hummed: "Why should I favor her? We came all the way home from Hong Kong Island, so the whole family is gathered at home, How lively and cordial. At this time, she threw the child at home and turned around to do her own business. Let me tell you, I was very dissatisfied! I already had a quarrel with her after receiving the certificate yesterday. , otherwise we wouldn’t have waited so long to come back!”

Nie Yu laughed again, then whispered through gritted teeth: "Have you changed your clothes after the quarrel?"

Li Yuan refused to admit it: "Really? I didn't even notice! I went back and changed my clothes... Oh, let's not talk about her. Today is a good day for the two of us. Let's go get the certificate first!"

Nie Yu said doubtfully: "We didn't even prepare the documents..."

Li Yuanqian laughed and said: "Daxue said hello to the comrades in the civil affairs unit, we will handle special matters."

Nie Yu was highly suspicious: "Could it be a fake for the two of us?"

Li Yuan laughed angrily and said: "Thank you for thinking of it! How can this thing be fake? Don't worry, it's genuine and stamped with the official seal. Otherwise, can you escape the eyes of Comrade Nie?"

Nie Yu was a little nervous and said: "My father...won't be angry?"

Li Yuan patted his chest and said, "I have them all! Can he beat me?"

"Hehe! Fuck you!"

Looking at his wife who looked like a girl, Li Yuan also smiled knowingly, and the two of them went to the place where he had just been yesterday.

……

"Comrade, congratulations to you."

The comrades in the office are easy to talk to, although they always look at Li Yuan a little strangely.

Li Yuan didn't mind either. He took out two white rabbits from his pocket and put them on the table. After shaking hands with the clerk, he walked out with Nie Yu, who was holding two marriage certificates.

Looking at his moved wife, Li Yuan glanced sideways and said, "You won't cry with joy, will you?"

Nie Yu glared and said, "No?"

Li Yuan said with a "ho ho" smile: "Now that you have the certificate, you have become more powerful?"

Nie Yu said proudly: "That's right! Do you accept it?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Tell me, with this marriage certificate, can we find a hotel to stay first?"

Nie Yu was frightened for a moment, her eyes full of shame and anger, and she spat: "You hate it!"

Even though she is the best at shouting, her fighting ability is definitely the lowest among the four. She has to ask Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu for help every time...

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Let's go to Wangfujing and buy something for my father-in-law?"

Nie Yu was thinking when he heard this, and happened to see a mother walking by with her daughter talking and laughing by the roadside. The smile on her face suddenly solidified, and she slowly looked at Li Yuan and said, "You didn't bring Xiao Qi with you?!"

Li Yuan also scratched his head a little and said: "I won't take it with me this time. Next time, I have to give my father-in-law a buffer time."

Nie Yu felt justified and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! That's it! You convinced me..." She actually promised Xiao Qi last night that she would take her back to her grandma's house today.

After the two of them looked at each other guiltily, they decided not to buy anything and just go straight to the door.

……

On the east side of Jingshan, there is Sanyanjing Hutong.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, you can see the highest point of Jingshan Park, Wanchun Pavilion.

That is the highest point on the central axis of Sijiu City, and it is also the place where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself...

Hey!
"Boom, boom, boom."

There was a knock on the door, and Li Yuan looked at the courtyard in front of him. The door was not visible, and it looked like a small door and a small house. But he knew that as long as it was a courtyard with a single house, there was something going on inside.

After knocking a few more times, Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said to the nervous Nie Yu, "Here comes someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

A female voice, but not Li Cuiyun's voice, should be younger than Li Cuiyun.

Li Yuan looked at Nie Yu. Nie Yu shook his head, indicating that she couldn't hear it, and answered: "It's me, Nie Yu."

There was a pause inside, and then there were shouts of surprise: "Ah! Navy! Navy! Go tell grandparents, aunt is back! Aunt is back!!"

Then the courtyard door opened, revealing a middle-aged woman in military uniform with a smile on her face. She was about to speak, but the first thing she saw was Li Yuan, and her smile froze.

Li Yuan almost didn't laugh. Nie Yu smiled beside him and said, "Are you the third sister-in-law? When my mother went to Hong Kong Island, she showed me your photo. This is my husband, Li Yuan."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Hello, third sister-in-law."

He also remembered that this was indeed the wife of Nie Weiguo, Nie Yu's third brother.

The woman nodded repeatedly: "Oh, okay, okay! Oops! Xiaoyu is married?! Hey, that Li Yuan...is that Li Yuan, right?"

Obviously, he didn’t know everything, he still understood some of the situation.

Li Yuan nodded and looked behind him. He saw a boy in his teens leading a pair of old people out. If it wasn't Nie Yuanchao and Li Cuiyun, who could it be?

Seeing Nie Yu at the door, Li Cuiyun covered her mouth with excitement and started crying.

This is my own flesh and blood, finally back!
Nie Yu's eyes were also red, and he walked around the third sister-in-law, walked in and shouted: "Mom, I'm back!"

She left the capital early, and came back once in the middle of Lu's third year. As of today, it has been 17 years.

Fortunately, Li Cuiyun has been to Hong Kong Island once, but I haven't seen him in a few years.

But Nie Yuanchao has not seen his daughter for 17 years.

The Nie family has three sons and one daughter, and the one he loves most is this little cotton-padded jacket.

I have never asked for a favor in my life, and the only time I spoke was for this little cotton-padded jacket.

Looking at his daughter hugging his mother, even though Nie Yuanchao always paid attention to dignity and status, he couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment, until he... saw Li Yuan.

First he was stunned, then he was confused, and then his face turned ugly and angry...

The third sister-in-law probably knew something, so she walked up and whispered, "Dad, just now Xiaoyu said that this is her husband... the new uncle is coming to the door, we have to let people in first, right? It's in the alley."

Nie Yuanchao snorted, and then two red books appeared in front of him: "Dad, what do you think these are?"

Nie Yu was hugging her mother, but she was actually quietly aware of her old father's movements. Now she realized that her anger could still be controlled, so she decided to take a risk and directly show off her cards!

When Nie Yuanchao saw this, his face slowly turned red. He looked at Li Yuan with sharp eyes and said, "How dare you lie to my daughter? Are you not a husband and wife of someone like a dragon and a phoenix? Where did you get this fake certificate?!"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Deputy Director Nie, your news is not very clear. Department Qin and I have divorced. Besides, you should also know about my situation. When Qin Xue and I got married, She is still a cadre of the commune township. If I were really a good person, I would not have declined Xiaoyu's kindness and followed her to Hong Kong Island. You spent a lot of effort to arrange two places." The last sentence Accent added.

Nie Yuanchao: "..."

The old face is a little red, he arranged a hammer daddy back then.

Moreover, just because of his clever arrangements, his daughter was almost left alone.

The problem is, Lao Nie still knows about Li Yuan's situation. He has been paying attention to it for a while, and I heard that he already has children in groups!
It's not like he hadn't heard of the rumors about his little cotton-padded jacket and this bastard. He wanted to be out of sight and out of mind. As long as his daughter was happy in Hong Kong Island, he never thought that he would bring her home.

This makes him really embarrassed...

Li Cuiyun didn't know what her husband was thinking, so she hurriedly said: "Old Nie, see clearly, it's a serious marriage certificate! Xiao Li and Qin Bu have divorced, and now he is Xiao Yu's husband, the son-in-law of our Nie family! Old Nie , Xiaoyu is 39 this year!!” The last sentence was shouted so loudly!

Nie Yu: "..."

The third sister-in-law also advised her: "Dad, Xiaoyu's lifelong happiness is important. You have thought about your daughter for so many years, and you smoke alone every day... It doesn't matter what others say!"

When Nie Yuanchao heard this, his expression changed continuously.

Li Yuan could actually understand that the people in Forty-Nine City were all good-looking. A person like Nie Yuanchao, who lost his father and mother in his early years, supported the family by himself, and never even opened his mouth to get an official position even with his uncle, had such a strong self-esteem. , one can imagine.

Otherwise, given the fact that the old Nie family has not been defeated in the past ten years, how could he be the deputy director of a steel rolling mill all year round?

But precisely because of this, they took him more and more seriously, and made good arrangements for his three sons without him having to say anything.

However, Nie Yuanchao was even more enthusiastic. Now that his son had been arranged, he withdrew from the position he occupied.

Nowadays, the old comrades are constantly criticizing and need to be relocated. He can voluntarily vacate the position, which can be regarded as a good reputation for the Nie family's high integrity.

It is indeed difficult for such a strong person to bow his head.

If I hadn’t seen my daughter for 17 years...

Nie Yuanchao looked at Li Yuan coldly and asked, "How many years have you and Xiaoyu been together?" He also specifically warned, "If you want to lie to others, please get out immediately!"

Li Yuan said calmly: "It has been nine years, 140 and five days, and today is the 430th day. If you want to ask how many years have you known Xiaoyu, I was 15 years old. It has been 560 three days since today. Every day, I remember it all vividly.”

The three women present were greatly moved, and Nie Yu was even more surprised and moved. Then she looked at Nie Yuanchao firmly and said: "Dad, I love Yuanzi, and I have loved Yuanzi for nine thousand five hundred and sixty three days, never less than one day!" "

Nie Yuanchao looked up to the sky and sighed. He gave birth to a daughter with melon skin. What he could do was to say: "Well, since you are willing, what can I say? For the happiness of my daughter... I admit it."

Who told him that he was not good at math, so he couldn't figure out whether what this kid said was right or wrong?

Naturally, he doesn't understand how arrogant the people with calculators in space are...

But the pain on Nie Yuanchao's face made him feel as if he had accepted a yellow-haired traitor riding a Japanese sidecar as his son-in-law.

Fortunately, Li Yuan was generous and didn't feel much negative emotion in his mind. Knowing that the old man was just stubborn for the sake of face, he smiled kindly and said: "Father-in-law, thank you."

The words "father-in-law" made both Li Cuiyun and Nie Yu smile. Li Cuiyun naturally became more and more satisfied with his uncle, and said helpfully: "Old Nie, I have given you the gift a long time ago! You accepted it all..."

Nie Yuanchao categorically denied: "Nonsense! When did I receive his betrothal gift?"

Li Cuiyun smiled and said: "Old Nie, have you forgotten? The "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" has given you many commendations! This is all the result of Xiao Li's hard work after traveling to three mountains and five mountains! When Xiao Yu was critically ill, I went When he was looking for Xiao Li, he was still treating people in the rural areas of western Guangdong! Wasn't it because he was compiling the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual"? For such a big contribution, he didn't give it to that bad guy Li Huaide, but quietly asked Sun Da to tell him You, let me get this gong. If Xiao Li hadn’t done it for Xiao Yu, would he have done this?"

When Nie Yu heard this, his eyes were so gentle that they almost turned into water.

Li Yuan smiled casually and said, "Mom, it's all in the past. Besides, in my heart, we have always been a family. It's just that I felt unworthy and couldn't delay Xiao Yu. I also understand how much you and your father-in-law love your daughter. , whatever you do is right.”

Men, be generous.My daughter has already taken it off, so what’s the point of talking about it...

Nie Yuanchao really liked this kind of words, and sighed: "The matter is over, I have nothing more to say, you can live well."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I'm not coming here empty-handed. I've brought a gift. I'm sure you'll like it."

The disgust on Nie Yuanchao's face was beyond words. Was he someone who expected to marry his daughter and receive a bride price?
But the negative emotions in Li Yuan's mind dropped by half again, reaching single digits...

Li Cuiyun tried to smooth things over by saying, "Let's talk in the house, let's talk in the house. What should we say in front of the screen wall?"

After that, he introduced to Li Yuan and Nie Yu: "This is your third sister-in-law, named Cheng Xia, and she is Mr. Cheng's granddaughter. Xiao Li, you have a nephew who is married to a girl from the Cheng family, right?"

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, fourth brother Li Cheng, the wife's name seems to be Cheng Qian, right? I just arrived yesterday and I haven't recognized her yet. There are quite a few nephews and wives..."

Cheng Xia laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I know this. The Li family is such a big family! It's called Cheng Qian, and that's my niece, the baby of the old Cheng family. But your family, Li Cheng, is also really nice. Our family They all like it, and the old man appreciates it very much. Unexpectedly, after going around, they all became a family!"

After a pause, Cheng Xia asked: "Xiaoyu, you and Yuanzi have been together for so many years, do you want any children?"

Nie Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Comrade Yuan Chao, carefully observing his expression.

Nie Yuanchao sighed tiredly again and said nothing, but his ears obviously moved...

He was actually a little happy in his heart. His daughter was much livelier than when she came back, which meant that she had lived a good life these years.

He will soon be seventy. Seventy years are rare in life, and some things can be ignored...

The son has a good future. He has retired from his position and has received a lot of honors and good treatment. His only concern is his daughter.

As long as Nie Yu is doing well, why bother?

Will the troubled daughter be critically ill again like before?
Nie Yu didn't dare to say, but Li Yuan dared to say: "I have a daughter who is very cute and smart, just like her mother when she was a child. She is eight years old this year. Her name is Li Qing, and her nickname is Xiaoqi."

Li Cuiyun, who had never dared to say anything, said happily: "Oh! She is still a daughter, Lao Nie, we have a grandson!!"

Nie Yu: "..." My mother's acting skills are not outstanding. I can't tell that she already knew each other once in Hong Kong Island!

Nie Yuanchao was silent for a while and then asked: "Where is the person? Didn't you bring him back?"

Nie Yu chuckled and said: "I brought her back. I heard that grandpa is very dignified. I don't dare to come today. I will bring her back to see grandpa and grandma tomorrow!"

He quickly changed the subject, looked at the boy next to Cheng Xia who had been looking at them and said, "Sister-in-law, is this my nephew? His name is the Navy?"

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "Yes, when he was born, your third brother had just been transferred to the Navy... Navy, please call aunt and uncle!"

Nie Haijun shouted: "Hello, aunt, hello, uncle!"

The children of these aristocratic families usually behave very well in front of their elders.

Li Yuan was not stingy. He smiled and took out a palm-sized car from his pocket like a magic trick. It was very exquisite and said: "Take it and play with it."

When Nie Haijun saw that the tears almost stopped flowing, his hands trembled a little when he reached out to take it. The surprise and touch on his face made Cheng Xia blush a little.

Children in mainland China in this era, even those with the Nie family's conditions, would not be able to have such an exquisite toy racing car.

There is no domestic production conditions, foreign exchange is so precious, let alone spent on it...

It is easy for them to touch real guns and live ammunition, but they have never seen this kind of toy before, and it will take another two years before they want to play with it.

After Nie Yu saw it, he glanced at Li Yuan with some surprise. Li Cuiyun and Cheng Xia were also very satisfied. Nie Yuanchao sighed again and had won the title of San Tan Sanren.

After sitting down in the main hall, Cheng Xia went to prepare tea. Li Cuiyun said to Nie Yu: "Your third brother has been transferred back to the Naval Operations Department, and your third sister-in-law has come back with her children. She usually lives in the No. [-] compound, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. , come over and help tidy up."

Nie Yu smiled and said: "Third sister-in-law is very nice. Where are the eldest brother and the second brother now?"

Li Cuiyun groaned and said, "Isn't this a round-robin battle over at Lao Mountain? I'm so worried that I can't sleep because I'm worried all day long."

Nie Yu said "Ah", then pointed at Li Yuan and said comfortingly: "Mom, it's okay. When we were fighting Annan, he took Fugui... our youngest son, who was as big as the navy, and went to Annan to fight. ”

Li Cuiyun was startled, and Nie Yuanchao looked over. After all, the couple had retired and were getting older. News in this regard was lagging far behind, and they had not heard of Li Yuan's heroic deeds.Li Cuiyun asked anxiously: "What are you doing there, with a child?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I am a doctor, and I want to do my best. In addition, my children have been practicing martial arts with me since they were young. Their boxing skills are good. After I went there, I won the favor of General Niu, and he temporarily stayed at the headquarters as a guard. Member, I went to the battlefield and worked as a field doctor for more than half a month to contribute my small amount to the country."

Li Cuiyun simply couldn't understand what the idea was. Nie Yuanchao also snorted, feeling more and more that this yellow... this kid was unreliable!
Nie Yu explained helpfully: "We also donated a large batch of medicines. Mr. Niu said it was of great help. Moreover, Yuanzi is very good at martial arts. Mei Changning of the Mei family always asked him for help when he had something to do in Hong Kong Island. The two of them The relationship is very good. When we came, he even asked Yuanzi to visit his mother."

Nie Yuanchao and his wife were shocked again. Cheng Xia, who came to serve tea, also said "Yo" and said: "Mei Changning, that person is famous for his discernment. Last year, I heard that Zeng Jianyue was out of stock because he had no money." Being kicked out of Prince Gong’s Mansion..."

Nie Yuanchao clicked his tongue and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It used to be Prince Gong's Mansion, but now it is Mr. Mei's residence. They are not the same thing."

Cheng Xia smiled quickly and said, "Dad, I just listen to other people's nonsense."

Nie Yuanchao said "hmm" and said: "Be careful outside. People in our family cannot say such things. It will have a bad influence."

Nie Yu chuckled and said, "It's okay, Yuanzi and Mei Changning make all kinds of jokes."

Li Yuandao: "Mei Changning is not a person who values ​​his family background. He is a very romantic person. He has a certain understanding of the vastness of the world and a compassion for the green grass and trees. He is relatively pure and worth dating."

The faces of the Nie family were a little strange. Is this a human expression? Mei Changning was worthy of his relationship, and she seemed to recognize it...

Li Yuan didn't say anything, and he wasn't surprised. The water these people drank for decades has been soaked in official flavor, and it is inevitable that they view the world based on their logic.

He just took out a box from his coat pocket, opened it, put it on the table, and said to Nie Yuanchao: "This is a Qianlong jade seal. I received it when I was in Hong Kong Island. I give it to you. You can collect it and play with it yourself." Don't dedicate it to the Palace Museum first. The conditions there are very poor and it can be easily damaged if not properly maintained. This is the one that was snatched away by the Eight-Power Allied Forces when they burned the Old Summer Palace. It is relatively precious.

Of course, even if it is ten times more precious, it is still not as good as Xiao Yu’s chance.Given to you, I hope you like it. "

Nie Yuanchao glanced at it, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Over the years, he has been fond of this antique, and he has basically spent his retirement money on it...

However, he refrained from taking action at this moment. He looked at Li Yuan again, nodded and said slowly: "It seems that you have been tempered over the years, and you have a calm energy in you."

"..."

Li Yuan was silent for a moment and continued: "Yes, I have experienced a lot in these years, and now I am the father of several children... Father-in-law, if you and your mother-in-law have free time, why not go to Hong Kong Island to live for a while every year? The conditions are very good. Xiaoyu also has a company to make money. If you two go, she will definitely be happier. In recent years, family and friends around her have said that she is getting younger as she lives. If you two go to live for half a year every year, Xiaoyu can't guarantee it. It’s back to eighteen.”

Cheng Xia keenly discovered that what this person said was always revealing some great news, but it was soon covered up and diluted by more other news...

After saying such disgusting words, Nie Yuanchao and Li Cuiyun didn't feel uncomfortable. Even Nie Yuanchao looked at Nie Yu with a smile and said: "It doesn't look old at all."

A father's love for his daughter does not need to be concealed.

Li Cuiyun was even more satisfied with this uncle. She smiled and said: "We won't go. We are used to living at home. If you are interested, come back often every two or three years to visit."

Nie Yu suddenly remembered and said to Li Yuan, "I can come back for two months every year!"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, and then Nie Yu happily turned to Li Cuiyun and said, "Mom, Yuanzi will come back to see my mother-in-law for two or three months every year, so I can come back often in the future!"

Li Cuiyun was a little moved. She slapped the table and said, "When you saw us, did you remember that you could come back to see your mother?!"

Nie Yu shouted anxiously: "Li Cuiyun, I've been thinking about you all the time! Last time you came back, I prepared a lot of things for you, all of which I saved with my heart!"

Cheng Xia laughed on the side and asked Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, what are you doing over there on Hong Kong Island?"

Li Yuandao: "Do scientific research and drug testing."

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "I heard that your business is quite big."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "We have made two kinds of medicine and exported them to Europe and the United States."

Cheng Xia stayed away and asked, "Do you make a lot of money a year?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's quite a lot."

Nie Yuanchao said: "If you make money outside, you should serve the motherland. You learned all your skills in the steel rolling mill. It was the organization that trained you!"

Li Yuan did not refute, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Datang Group has been investing. Now there are Datang Restaurants, Chinese Medicine Centers, and some breeding farms. The scale will become bigger and bigger in the future, but I don't care These are all taken care of by my eldest son..."

Cheng Xia was surprised: "How old is your eldest son?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I will be 20 years old this year."

Nie Yu said: "Tangyuan is very powerful, Sister-in-law, you will know when you go home and ask. Hang Seng Bank, which Tangyuan acquired, is the only private bank among the twelve local banks in Hong Kong that is not subject to the supervision of foreign consortiums. Mr. Dong Very seriously."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I usually focus mainly on the laboratory. After I come out of the laboratory, I go home to cook and pick up my children."

After Cheng Xia finished sighing, she asked with a smile: "What does Xiaoyu do?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Just do what she wants to do. If she doesn't want to do anything, just sleep."

Cheng Xia was speechless. After her envy was over, she couldn't talk anymore for the day. If a woman lived like this, she would be like a god.

Nie Yuanchao didn't say anything. Just looking at his daughter's hands, he knew that they must have never been touched by spring water. At this point, he had nothing to say.

Li Cuiyun asked happily: "Where will I live now? The place is not ready yet, so I will stay at home first!"

Nie Yu smiled and said, "No, Mom, we live at home now, which is the former Lou Mansion. The people at Datang Restaurant have been renovating it for the past six months, and it is now our family's residence in Sijiu City."

Cheng Xia smiled and said: "We are so rich. Datang Restaurant is now the most popular restaurant in Sijiu City! Even foreigners come to eat there. In the beginning, Zhao Xiaojun from the Zhao family took people to eat there every day , His family seems to have a good relationship with your family? Later, he was sorted out and sent directly to the army."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "His misfortune has little to do with our family... Datang Restaurant was the first Hong Kong-invested enterprise. Countless Hong Kong businessmen were watching. However, it was almost eaten up within a month of opening. It was of a bad nature. , it was just sorted out.”

I felt a little emotional, and there was an endless stream of negative emotions in my mind.

Probably because she wanted her sister-in-law Nie Yu to live a better life, but she didn't want it to be so good...

However, this is also human nature and is in line with human nature.

Nie Yuanchao probably heard about Lou Mansion and thought of Li Yuan's two Lou wives in Hong Kong Island. He asked for trouble: "That Qin boss has a bright future. Did he think you were not suitable, so he divorced you?"

Li Yuan said truthfully: "It's really not the case. I can't stand the arrogance of officials. What's so great about being an official? The old people have said that the people have raised you, so you must be fair to the people! Without the people, you are nothing. Those who are aloof and self-righteous are called public officials? Those who serve the people are called cadres!

Those who don’t have this consciousness are at best servants raised by the people.When he was in his position, he was shouting and dancing happily, but when he got down, people probably couldn't even remember what he looked like.

Of course, Minister Qin is still dedicated to serving the people.As for the reason for the divorce... because I told her that it was indeed Xiaoyu who had been waiting for many years and she had to give her an explanation. As for me, I do prefer Xiaoyu.

When she heard this, she told me to get out. "

Nie Yuanchao: "..."

I was speechless for a moment, because when he went out now, few people recognized him.

Is this referring to Sang and Huai?

Nie Yu was worried that her father and husband would get angry and lose all their previous efforts, so he said, "Mom and Dad, Yuanzi still has something to do. He will go and do some work first and come pick me up in the evening. We will bring Xiaoqi back tomorrow, so we can have a good chat then!"

Li Yuandao: "Yes, I have to prepare some ingredients and show off to my father-in-law and mother-in-law at home tomorrow. I never had the chance to fulfill my filial piety."

Giving enough face to your wife in your in-law's family is the wisdom of life.

Sure enough, Nie Yuanchao's face looked much better again, and he had almost mastered the art of changing his face today.

Li Yuan took the opportunity to leave, leaving some space for Nie Yu to have a good chat with his parents.

He is here, and the arrogant father-in-law cannot let him go...

……

The entrance to Black Sesame Alley.

I don’t know whether it’s because of the development of the times, or because the hutong has really become older with the baptism of time. The bricks that used to be neat in the corners began to break.

Li Yuan always felt that this alley had become dilapidated, and he wondered if he had exhausted his energy during those prosperous years...

However, before he could sigh for long, he heard curses coming from inside:
"Go back! This is none of your business! I don't believe you can do anything about these idiots!"

With Li Yuan's super memory, he quickly remembered whose voice it was. He quickened his steps and walked to the door of Sun's house in the alley. There were many people gathered there. Among them, Hong Zao was wearing an old coat and had his hands on his hips. , staring and scolding an old woman in her 60s or [-]s opposite.

Sun Jianguo, who is white and fat, can't even pull it in...

Sun Yuexiang and Sun Yueling were also there, but they did not stand on the side of their brother, but on the side of their sister-in-law, glaring at the woman opposite.

Sun Da and Zhao Yehong did not show up.

Li Yuan pushed through the crowd, walked in, patted Sun Jianguo on the forehead and said, "What are you talking about here?"

Sun Jianguo was stunned. He turned around and shouted in surprise: "Brother Yuanzi! You are back!"

Hong Zao looked back when he heard the sound, and immediately put down his hands on his waist. Instead of stepping on the ground with one foot, he used War Trample. He forced a smile and said: "Brother Yuanzi, you are back, uh..."

Sun Yuexiang and Sun Yueling also called people excitedly. Li Yuan nodded with a smile and asked, "What's going on?"

Sun Jianguo said sheepishly: "No...it's nothing."

Hong Zao said angrily: "What's wrong? Her family dumped garbage and coal ash at the door of her mother-in-law's house, and even poured the urinals here. Isn't it just because all five sons in the family have returned to the city? She still has face. I asked my family to borrow a house, and if I don’t lend it, I’ll do something bad, and I won’t believe it. Isn’t this what the king is doing?”

Li Yuan looked at Sun Jianguo in shock and said, "Really?"

Sun Jianguo said hurriedly: "Brother Yuanzi, I'm not afraid of her son. Her son won't stand out. When I went to find him, they said there was nothing they could do and they shed tears..."

Li Yuan slapped his forehead with his hand and cursed: "Don't you shed tears when they shed tears? Why did you become such a loser!"

Hongzao started to defend her husband again, saying: "Don't hit people, it's not Jianguo's fault. She has relatives who are officials in the street..."

Li Yuan became even more angry when he heard this. He hit his forehead again and said, "I might as well kick you to death!"

Sun Jianguo jumped to his feet anxiously and said, "I'm really not a coward. Her third child was my childhood sweetheart. He was ferocious. He broke his foot when he went to the countryside and became a cripple. He cries when he sees me. I can't help it!"

Li Yuan said: "Go away, I feel sorry for him. He gave your house to him, and you and your family can live on the road. Jianguo, you are old. I will give you face in the end, so you can clean up for me quickly. Otherwise, I will come back later." Let our family come over and see if he recognizes your crippled little boy. If you continue to disturb my master's peace, do you believe that I will let them cripple their family? You also go back to northern Shaanxi. Hongzao will stay in Sijiu City with her children. That's enough. I'm so angry just looking at you, why do you deal with such a useless junior brother like you! Get out of here."

After that, he raised his feet and went inside.

Sun Jianguo's face turned as red as a monkey's butt. He pointed at a man wearing glasses standing in the crowd and cursed: "Sun Zeier, you won't help your sister back, will you? For San'er's sake, I’m really a shame to your family! If you can keep your job as a street clerk, I will take your surname from now on! I’m really shameless, fuck you!”

After scolding, he turned around and walked out, shaking with anger.

Hey, people are so mean. When Sun Jianguo was all good-natured, others were doing this and that, saying they couldn't do anything.

At this moment, Sun Jianguo was really anxious and turned against him. The middle-aged man wearing glasses was frightened. He yelled at the woman first: "How many times have I told you to pay attention to the unity of the neighbors? Don't you understand?" What's the matter? Do you still think that you can give houses to rich families like before? Quickly pack up these things and clean them with water, otherwise your family will have nothing to do with me in the future! Neither will your five children. Call me cousin, I don’t have that many relatives!”

After yelling, he ran after Sun Jianguo and said: "Jianguo, Jianguo, oh, it's all my fault. I'm sorry, brother! Don't worry, if this happens again in the future, you will just spit in my face..."

……

When I entered the hospital, I couldn't hear clearly the commotion outside.

Li Yuan said earnestly: "Come to Hong Kong Island with me. I really miss home. I promise to send you back to stay for a while every year. I will also come back and come back to stay with my mother. If she is not too old, she is afraid of something unexpected happening outside. , I said no matter what, take your parents over there. But you are still young, at least you can live for 50 to [-] years. Can you just do me a favor? Help me to sit in the Longhu Hall and lead a group of students... …”

Zhao Yehong couldn't help but laugh and said: "After four or fifty years, won't we all become old goblins? I won't go, I won't go, I'll be quiet here, don't be so nagging."

Li Yuan closed his eyes and sighed, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is my master? His body is still weak and he has about ten years to live. Where is he now?"

Sun Da smiled and said: "After your master got your cart of golden nanmu material, he ran back to Qinghe. He didn't know where to go to the mountains to see Feng Shui, and to climb caves to find famous places. Yuanzi, we lived in Sijiu City. For the rest of my life, it’s no longer as noisy and scary as it used to be. Why go out at this time? Besides, don’t you have to come back every year?”

Li Yuandao: "Let's go out and have a look. The climate there is better. In these forty-nine cities, which year doesn't have sandstorms in winter and spring? It doesn't support people."

Zhao Yehong ignored this and asked, "Is the whole family back this time?"

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "They are all back. After they have gotten to know each other for two days, they will all be brought here to kowtow to you."

Zhao Yehong glanced at him and said, "Don't do this to me!" His face softened again and he said, "Set up a date and make preparations at home."

Sunda laughed and said: "Then we have to prepare a big table! Nine children, right?"

Li Yuan said with shame: "There are also two girlfriends of the eldest brother, who are about to get married. There is also a partner of the second son who has a child..."

"puff!"

Sun Da spit out a mouthful of tea and started coughing.

Sun Yuexiang and Sun Yueling couldn't help laughing when they came in. Sun Yuexiang joked: "Yuanzi, you are going to be a grandpa in a blink of an eye? How can there be such a young and handsome grandpa?"

Li Yuan touched his face and said, "Stop talking, I'm worried too... Oops!"

He smiled and stepped aside, and when he saw Zhao Yehong couldn't hold back his smile, with a medical book rolled up in his hand, and pretending to fight, he laughed and said: "I'm really not trying to trick anyone, you will know when I come here in two days. You don't need to Whatever you want to prepare, I'll prepare it. Ouch, Gang Ke made me so angry. Did we treat Jianguo too hard and turned him into a waste? Why can't he stand up now? "

Hongzao'er came in from behind, followed by a four-year-old girl who just didn't look at her.

Hong Zaoer smiled and said: "Brother Yuanzi, you really misunderstood. Jianguo values ​​​​love, and his childhood was really miserable. If the mother-in-law in that family hadn't been so bad, I wouldn't have cursed her."

The accent has changed to Mandarin. It seems that it was also a strategy just now...

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Who is more important than his old father and mother? There is no distinction between inside and outside!"

Sun Yueling made an expression to Zhao Yehong and said with a smile: "Brother Gang Yuanzi almost made Jianguo Xiong cry!"

Sun Yuexiang said with a smile: "Yuanzi scolded Jianguo a lot, saying that if he couldn't handle it, he would ask the eighteenth son of Yuanzi's family to handle it. Then Jianguo became anxious, scolded the whole family, and wanted to find someone to abolish Wang Qiang's work. Wang Qiang was frightened and quickly said something nice, promising not to do it again in the future."

Li Yuandao: "Our family doesn't use power to bully others, but we can't let others bully us at the door. What kind of tricks are you fooling around with?"

Sun Da smiled and said: "It's really not easy for that family. The whole family is crippled and sick. The third child in their family has a good relationship with Jianguo. They grew up naked together, so I wanted to ask my family to borrow a house. Jianguo said I Mom, even I find it annoying. How can I lend my house to your family? I’m not happy. Mainly because I’m too pitiful and I’ve been my neighbor for decades, so I’m not too embarrassed to take action. Fortunately, Zao’er is here and warns them from time to time. Come on, today we bumped into each other and that’s why we started making trouble.”

Li Yuan said: "There are so many poor people, so you can't dump the urinal at the door of someone's house! Anyway, I feel sorry for my master. If the founding of the country is not successful, I will do it. If you can't survive in the city, then go down there and farm, no. Like words."

Zhao Yehong smiled gently and advised: "Okay, he is no longer a child, and his temper is getting louder and louder."

"father!"

The little girl suddenly called in the direction of the door. Sun Jianguo came in with a grin on his face and called out: "Brother Yuanzi, the matter is done..."

Li Yuan squinted and said, "I'm scolding you for being dissatisfied, aren't you? If you really care about feelings, lend some money to his family to buy two or three wheels. Several men go out to work every day and earn more than what they earn from work. There are so many more What's the matter? Tell me honestly, have you become a big boss in China Resources and just eat, drink and have fun without doing anything else? "

Sun Jianguo said hurriedly: "No, no! For your sake, I must have taken care of you, but I told the manager not to tell others about my relationship. The manager still laughed at me, who in the company doesn't care? But I can see Come out, he is very happy that I expressed my opinion like this. I am doing a good job in the company!"

Li Yuandao: "Jianguo, I am your junior brother, and I will not let you work for others all the time. You have to practice hard, and you will be your own boss in two years. Whether you work in the company or work for others, it always depends on others. If you start your own business and survive, Master will feel relieved, so I will be stricter with you."

Sun Jianguo smiled and said: "Brother Yuanzi, I know what's wrong! Don't I understand who are the people who enter China Resources? You arranged for me to go in, and it took a lot of kindness to appoint me."

Li Yuandao: "These are not your worries." Then he looked at Sun Yueling and said, "Where is your Liu Weiguo?"

Sun Yueling smiled and said: "Leave."

Li Yuan quickly turned back to look at Zhao Yehong, who said lightly: "I gave way."

Li Yuan looked at Sun Da again, and Sun Da sighed: "People's hearts are not good. Seeing that you arranged Jianguo to join China Resources, I also want to take advantage of it. If you can't get it, then you are talking about something wrong."

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Then Yue Ling will go to Hong Kong Island with me this time. I will make sure to arrange a suitable one for her and make you satisfied. The days are still long and she is still so young..."

Zhao Yehong sneered, but Sun Yueling had the courage to say: "Brother Yuanzi, I found another one myself. Although he is poor, he is very kind to me."

Li Yuandao: "What do you do?"

Sun Yueling whispered: "He is an educated youth who has returned to the city. He is very honest..."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "What do you do now?"

Sun Yueling's face turned red with embarrassment and said: "I'm... selling pancakes..."

After Sun Da glanced at his wife, he coughed dryly and said: "I asked someone to inquire about it. He is relatively calm and ambitious. When he went to the countryside, he was also very down-to-earth..."

Zhao Yehong sneered: "Can he be unsafe? Does he dare to be unsound?"

Li Yuandao: "What's going on...from a bad background?"

Zhao Yehong snorted and said: "The kind who can't even pass the college entrance examination! It's impossible for any unit to get it, and he will bake pancakes for the rest of his life?"

Sun Yueling wiped her tears sadly, and Sun Jianguo winked at Li Yuan and said: "That person's grandfather was a high official in the country, and his father came to seek refuge with him, but he was tortured to death in those years. His mother couldn't bear the torture and was hanged. Now. No one has any objections. He is a nice guy. He has always loved reading. He doesn’t talk much. He is a good-looking person and looks a bit like you, Brother Genzi..."

Sun Yueling lowered her head, and Li Yuan said: "Let's go and find out the situation. If it is indeed an unjust case, I will ask your sister-in-law to say hello and get through the trial first. If the person is really good, Master will not She was forced to stop her. Master didn't agree, not because she disliked the poor and loved the rich. What does other people's poverty or wealth have to do with Master? She just cares about you, Yue Ling, and is afraid that you will be deceived again and live a bad life. This must be in your heart Understand.”

Sun Yueling started to cry and sobbed: "I...I understand...Mom...I know."

Zhao Yehong also blushed and said to Li Yuan, "Isn't it troublesome?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You have loved peace and cleanliness all your life. When I entered the factory, I was like a beggar. When I came, I bumped into a man who dug out manure, and I smelled like manure. Everyone else in the department was like a beggar. If you don't want me, you accept me as your apprentice. Not only did you accept me as your apprentice, you also saved my life and changed my destiny. Later, when I got married and bought a house, it was all the money you took. Then If you don't think it's troublesome for me now, how can I think it's troublesome now? I have two mothers in my life, one is in Qinjiazhuang and the other is here. "

Zhao Yehong, who had always been cold and cold, burst into tears at this moment.
