Chapter 362: Chinese New Year (10,000 Words Updated, Please Give Me a Monthly Vote!)

After lunch, in the south room of the old house of the Li family.

This was the room where Li Yuan and Qin Daxue got married, and it was also the room where Li Yuan, the youngest of the Li family, lived.

After Er Lou and Nie Yu knew about it, they strongly requested to move in.

The three of them also specially decorated it. The portrait of the old man was put away, and the wall was replaced with a fat baby holding a carp New Year picture.

Red candles, red window paper and other things are naturally indispensable. The bed sheets were replaced with rough large flowered bed sheets, and the curtains were printed with bamboo pandas...

The three daughters-in-law all like it very much, and someone can't monopolize it!

"Geese, geese, geese..."

Lou Xiao'e told Lou Xiu and Nie Yu about today's interesting things, and laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe.

Now it's the sisters-in-law who are addicted to videotapes, and the nephews and wives have been driven to the side. The three of them don't want to squeeze to watch TV, so they rest and talk in the room.

Lou Xiu also laughed, looking at Li Yuan and said: "Did you really save half a box of instant noodle seasoning packets and send them back?"

Li Yuan lay on the kang and said, "Ang".

Nie Yu laughed so hard that it made a sound like a crow, slapped him and said, "You are too mean! At least give me some dry goods, even kelp will do."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know why kind people in this world are often easily hurt?"

Nie Yu lay beside him and said, "Why?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Because kind people always think that others are the same as them and will not hurt others for no reason. They always think that others are the same as them and will repay evil with kindness. In fact, it is not. Between people who are easily hurt and people who don't suffer losses, of course I choose the latter."

Nie Yu said happily, "Is the person in the courtyard very bad?"

After thinking carefully, Li Yuan shook his head and said, "It can't be said to be good or bad, it's just the multifaceted nature of human nature. Greed, jealousy, lust, laziness, anger, arrogance, treachery, cunning..."

Lou Xiu laughed and said, "This is not bad?"

Li Yuan yawned, and his hand was dishonestly stroking a peach, smiling He narrowed his eyes and said, "They haven't committed crimes yet, so they can't be called bad. Human nature is not so great and glorious. Everyone has some small private things. Otherwise, why do we say that lust is the root of all evil, and judging by deeds rather than hearts, there are few perfect people in the world? We can only say that they are not good people, but they are not bad people... Who hasn't made it yet?"

Lou Xiao'e said happily, "Why does it sound like... you are talking about yourself?"

Li Yuan said bitterly, "What did Qin Daxue tell you again?"

The three wives laughed so hard that Lou Xiu sighed, "It's amazing."

The four were chatting happily, and there was a knock on the door. Li Yuan asked, "Who?"

Jixiang's voice came in, saying, "Dad, Uncle Wu and the others asked you to go over for a drink!"

Li Yuan said unhappily, "Tell Uncle Wu that we can have fun after dark, so we should conserve our energy first."

The door opened quietly, and Jixiang was wearing a village-style cotton jacket, which he exchanged with Li Kun's son, his little nephew, with his new Hong Kong-style clothes.

Jixiang felt that this Northeastern-style flowered jacket was very much in line with his aesthetic taste. He felt that it was very servile to wear it like this, so he decided to bring it back to Hong Kong Island to show his classmates...

Jixiang laughed and said, "Dad, several uncles are sitting in the north room chatting, and they insisted that I come to call you."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Go quickly, we won't chat for a few days."

Lou Xiu scolded, "Don't you know how to wear clothes in the winter? Why are you wearing your arms open?"

If you are not a mother, you will never understand what it feels like to have two naughty boys in their teens.

No matter how gentle and virtuous a woman is, when she meets such a child, she will naturally reach for the most convenient thing around her after taking a look at him...

When the mother got angry, Li Yuan got up in a hurry and ran away with his son in a dejected manner.

After the father and son escaped, Nie Yu smiled and said, "Pangpang told me that every time he saw his father cooking at home and hiding from us, he was very touched."

Lou Xiu was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Nie Yu smiled and said, "She said that there is no such thing in the wealthy families in Hong Kong Island. The heads of the families are all masters. And outsiders also think that the women in our family will intrigue and curry favor. No one can imagine that our family will be so warm."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "He did that to make his own life comfortable! Other people's families are like that, so they only have wealthy families left, and there is no way to live. After a long time, even the feelings are gone, and there is only intrigue and calculation of property. What's the point of living then?"

Nie Yu lay on the kang and said with a smile, "Yuanzi is so lucky to meet such a well-educated and good woman like us!"

"That's it!"

"That's it!"

The three of them laughed together again.

…

“Dad, big brother…”

After Li Yuan arrived at the main room in the north house, he saw his old father and big brother there and said, “Why don’t you take a break? You still need to take a break at noon to keep healthy.”

Li Gui looked at his youngest son and sighed, “You can’t overfeed him, youngest son. You look younger than Li Kun.”

There was a burst of laughter from below. Li Gui and the eldest son Li Chi sat on two chairs in the north, and the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh sat on six chairs. The remaining twenty-odd adults of the third generation could only sit on the old elm stools.

Fifth brother Li Hai laughed and said, “Not only Li Kun, but none of those who work look as young as their eighth uncle.”

Li Yuan said: "Wait two or three years and you will see that they are getting old faster. In the oil system, life has been so comfortable in the past few years. It is tiring, but you don't have to worry too much. There are always ways to make money technically, so basically everything is smooth. When they get to the local area, they will know what it means to be a good cook without rice, and what it means to cry to the sky and the earth for help but no one will respond. The conditions are dirty, messy and poor. If you want to develop, you need money everywhere, but there is no money everywhere. In a few years, your hair will turn white with worry."

Hearing what he said so scary, everyone in the room couldn't laugh.

It's the New Year's Day, I asked you to come over to chat, not to scare you.

Isn't it just disturbing your lunch break with your three wives? Is it necessary to be so cruel?

Several older brothers shook their heads helplessly...

Seeing that they were skeptical, Li Yuan asked Li Kun: "You are from a county under Jianghan City, Hubei Province. Have you been there?"

Li Kun nodded solemnly, and Li Yuan smiled and said: "Is the road easy to walk on?"

Li Kun's face became even uglier, and he shook his head heavily.

Li Yuan said: "So, even if you can dig out gold, it's useless if you can't transport it out. If you want to build a road, you need money. But the government can't allocate a penny, and the province has no money. What can you do?"

Li Kun said slowly: "Uncle Eight, Yangxing County does not have any good roads, but it's not bad. It's close to the Yangtze River and there is a section of the Yangtze River waterway that can be used. However, the county is mostly mountainous and hilly, and the plains are very narrow. The primary industry is agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, which has no competitiveness, and natural disasters continue all year round... I really can't find the direction of development."

Li Yuan looked at Li Cheng and asked: "What do you think?"

Li Cheng pondered for a while and said slowly: "My eldest brother and I discussed the development prospects of Yangxing. Yangxing actually still has advantages. The reserves of minerals such as gold, copper, coal, cement and limestone are among the best in Hubei Province..."

Li Qingqi, the seventh son of the Li family, said: "With so many good things, why is it so difficult to develop?"

Li Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Seven, the things are good, but Yangxing County is mountainous. , it rains for half a year, the roads are not good, mining is difficult, and the cost is high. The railway is not open, the highway is not good, and the road is not well built. These resources are not easy to mine in the short term, and there is no money to mine. "

Li Yuan said: "If you were in your elder brother's position, what would you do?"

Li Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "I have discussed with my elder brother. Don't even think about the provincial road. Even the municipal highway can't be built. We can only rely on waterways, so building the road to the dock and building the dock is the only way. Don't think about fiscal appropriations. There is only so much, and you can't grab it. We still have to rely on the old man's way, mobilize the people, and follow the mass line. "

Li Kun sighed and said: "That also requires money."

The sixth brother Li Zeng said: "In the end, it still depends on the villagers to do the levy. "

When Li Yuan heard this, he suddenly remembered that in the TV series "In the Name of the People" in his previous life, when Li Dakang was the county magistrate, he built roads and levied levies, and forced the farmers to death.

Li Dakang is not a corrupt official, but a capable official and a capable general. He is very capable and dedicated to development. However, the peasants are really suffering and cannot afford to give...

Hearing Li Zeng's words, Li Kun and Li Cheng both shook their heads.

Li Kun reminded Li Zeng: "Sixth Brother, when you don't have absolute initiative in the team, don't even think about this proposal, and you must not speak up, otherwise you will be blamed."

Li Cheng said: "Even if you have control of the team, you can't speak up for this proposal. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the local cadres will knock you down in one go. Don't think that you are going to move down from the city or from the oil system, and think that they are asking Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and ask the masters to save them. In fact, they are eager for you to get out. The strong dragon can't suppress the local snake. The more grassroots the work, the more complicated and difficult it is. A half step wrong will ruin your reputation."

Seventh Brother Li Fang laughed: "The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not serve in prefectures and counties, nor did they apply for the province, so there were many famous prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty. Those who have worked through the levels below are all smart people."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Fourth Brother, you will also go down in a few years, right?"

Li Cheng nodded, and Li Kun smiled: "If Li Cheng goes down, It's directly at the city level, so it's easier to do something. "

Li Cheng shook his head and said, "In the era of great changes, heroes can emerge in large numbers, but it's also a great wave that eliminates the majority of people who are mediocre. After all, only a few can survive."

Old Nine Li Bu sighed, "Yes, it's an unprecedented great change. Moreover, it's all a mess. Now even at the county level, there are many people who make trouble in the team, and they are all good at fighting. Even the three types of people have not been cleared out. "

Li Cheng said in a deep voice, "In the face of turbulent seas, the true nature of heroes can be revealed! When it's time to take action, you must not hesitate, especially for the three things that are named by the above to be cleared. "

Li Kun nodded and said, "After arriving at the position, take their heads first to sacrifice the flag and establish prestige. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. This can't be said outside, but you must know it in your heart. The three fires after taking office must be burned vigorously, otherwise you can't control the situation at all. "

All of them are close relatives, and some words have been almost open.

Li Cheng said: "Go and observe for a while, a week is more appropriate, and then beat them hard, get to the bottom of it, borrow the reputation of Mr. Dong, settle the old scores, and clean up the house! But we must fight quickly and decisively, and stop after the fight. There must be no chaos, and we must not make the superiors too dissatisfied. After all, stability is paramount at all times.

But from my observation, there are still some problems in this world. The policy changed too quickly and too fiercely. It had been strict for twenty years, but once it was relaxed, all kinds of pigs and dogs came out. The chaotic local gangsters also jumped out one by one. Last year, the Eighth Aunt killed a large number and sent a large number to Western Xinjiang. It was considered that the general suppressed the signs of Sijiu City. But I see that not long after Aunt Eight was transferred, chaos began again after the new group of educated youths came back. Even the capital is like this, let alone other places?

I predict that if this chaos continues, there will definitely be another crackdown within two or three years, and we will not be able to escape.

So when you go down, don’t be impatient. Beat up a group of the three types of bad guys first, then accept them as soon as they are good, and let your superiors know that you are sensible.

If you wait another two or three years, some of the hidden bad things will definitely come out, and your position will be more stable. After you have done enough work, the next wave of killings will be more targeted.

I read a lot of files in the organizational unit, and also consulted with my eighth aunt and some elders of the Cheng family, and I came to this conclusion: When working in the local area, you must not be impatient, you must be patient, you must look for opportunities, wait for opportunities, and seize opportunities. If you don't take action, that's it. If you take action, you'll kill it with one strike! "

Li Yuan smiled at his father and brothers and said: "Xiao Si is very good. What is home education? This is home education. No one except close relatives will teach this kind of experience to foreigners. Some selfish people, even close relatives and brothers. I don’t know how to teach, I just teach my son.”

Li Cheng smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Eighth Uncle, Brother and his friends may still need your help."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "You kid... tell me, how can I help?"

Li Chengdao: "Even if we mobilize the masses to build roads, we still have to find funds. If the roads and docks in the county are combined, there is no one million that cannot be built."

One million in 1980 was already a huge number.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I gave him a loan of one million. Do you believe that he could take away 800,000 from the market? 800,000 is not enough. The reason why I kept 200,000 is to let him borrow another 2 million." , preferably five million.”

Li Jiang cursed: "What kind of bastard is this? A bandit?"

Li Cheng hesitated when he heard the words, and sighed with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect this... Yes, it is possible. We must pay attention to organizational principles and promote style..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You haven't been exposed to these in your current position. Besides, with your eighth aunt and the Cheng family watching, most people won't embarrass you. But when you go down in the future, you will definitely This will happen. Don't talk about you. Most of the serious second generation people will be disgraced after they go down. So, you must not be arrogant in the eyes of those old fritters. Here, you are just a young melon egg who doesn’t understand anything! Anyone who thinks they are great is just like a joke!”

Li Yuan looked at the group of nephews who had fallen silent and continued: "We haven't completely let go yet, not only in terms of policy, but mainly in people's ideological concepts. What Li Cheng just said is right. After you go down, the first thing to do is , it is to clean up the team first, and then win over the good people. It is not easy to do this.

Under the current circumstances, I don’t think the higher authorities expect you to be able to show your ability to develop the economy immediately. The hinterland must be stabilized first. If you don't do this well, everything else is nonsense.

It would be good to get this thing done in one or two years, but it could be possible in three to five years.

After finishing this matter, I will think of another way. "

After a pause, Li Yuan simply took the strong medicine and said more bluntly: "If the superiors really expected you to develop the economy quickly, they would not transfer you to inland provinces.

The country's resources are limited, so we must concentrate on developing some places that are easy to develop first, and allow some people to get rich first. This place will only be a coastal city, not your place.

Therefore, you must be self-aware, and do not think that what was said when you were mobilized is so nice, that the common people will be in trouble if you are not able to survive. In fact, you must be clear about your positioning. "

When the third generation sons and brothers of the Li family heard this, their faces turned really ugly.

When the organization talked to them before, they really praised them to the sky.

It seems that without them, reform and opening up would not be successful...

That's why they are all high-spirited and have great ambitions in their hearts.

Everyone has their own calculations. With such a rich eighth uncle standing behind them, they inherently have a lot more political resources than others.

Each of them is only in his thirties, and if he works for ten years and reaches a higher level, his future is simply unlimited.

But now I am being poured cold water on by Li Yuan...

Pull out the cold and pull out the cold, the back of the spine is cold.

Li Gui, who had been silent until now, suddenly scolded: "Look at all of you, you all look like bears! What's wrong, you are not satisfied with being a county magistrate, and you all want to be a prime minister? Don't forget, you are all farmers' children. , how many people can’t get through this in their lifetime. Ask yourselves, how much better are you than others?”

The others did not dare to say anything, but Li Cheng chuckled and said, "It's great to have such an eighth uncle."

The other third generation children all laughed again, but their laughter was a little bitter.

Fortunately, everyone is sober now.

Li Kun rubbed his face vigorously with both hands and said: "Thank you for inviting Uncle Eighth to come over and say this, otherwise... I will be in trouble. Only now do I understand that those people in the original organizational unit, It’s because we are afraid that we will not move away from oil.”

Li Cheng smiled and said: "Of course. Where in the country is it not difficult now? The petroleum unit has the richest oil and water. After Gu Gu went to the Northeast, buildings were started to be built in Daqing, and oil workers were allotted buildings. Sijiu City was better. The units are still working in the courtyard.”

A few cursed in a low voice...

It's not that I'm afraid of hardship, but it feels really uncomfortable to be cheated.

Li Yuan looked so happy and laughed.

A group of nephews: "..."

His scalp was numb when he was looked at by a group of resentful eyes. Li Yuan coughed dryly and said: "It's not impossible if I force you to push you up. But if you do this, you will not be reused in the future. You will rely on capital to push you up." Who will be able to make great use of it? But if you work it out on your own, that would be called real talent. It may be difficult for Datang itself to participate in the development under your rule, but if you can really make a difference, I can. I recommend some Hong Kong businessmen to invest there. So, in the end, it still depends on you.

Don't think that Kun'er is the boss. Si'er is developing well now. I will definitely recommend these two in the future. I'm overthinking it. Those who arrive early may not succeed, and those who arrive late may not fail. Throughout history, most successful people have been late bloomers. When Liu Bang first started to compete with Xiang Yu, he was a loser. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't compare with Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang at first. But it was they who had the last laugh.

So don’t be depressed. Besides, your current starting point is already ridiculously high. I hope you will seize the opportunities in life and face the difficulties head-on. "

Li Kun nodded, looked at Li Yuan and said, "Uncle Eighth, we understand what you mean. It's just that after we get there, besides arresting the team, we have to do something, right?"

Li Yuan raised his face and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Do it, of course you have to do it. Those who eat the imperial grain should relax and find ways to help the farmers take a breather first. Why in history, in the era of inaction, the lives of ordinary people were easier? Since the objective conditions do not allow it for the time being, don't mess around with it for a while. You have done a lot of work and still claim to be paying tuition. All you have to pay is the blood of farmers.

If you really want to do something, you should first lead people to repair water conservancy, find ways to help farmers get more fertilizers, etc., and open classes to teach Mandarin during the slack time. Datang will invest in several labor-intensive factories on the mainland in the next two years to work with you and accept a group of farmers.

This can be done in the form of a collective, so that half of the salary is given to the farmers, and half is retained by the county and saved for road construction. Workers on Hong Kong Island now earn more than 2,000 a month, while workers on the mainland can earn 200 a month, which is higher than level eight workers. Leave half of it, one person per month is one hundred, and one thousand people is one hundred thousand. Once the money is received, we will start building the road, and it won’t get stuck. In one year, won’t the road be built? "

Don't think it's shady. The county can actually dispatch some workers to work outside, and their wages will still be paid. However, the wages for working outside are more than double their original wages.

With the original salary, the county can retain more.

So it is better to let the farmers come out. Even if they only keep half of the land a month, it will still be more than what they will lose after planting it for a year.

It would be another four years, after ID cards began to be distributed, that I would be able to work on my own...

The eyes of Li Fang, Li Bu, Li Chang and others almost popped out of their heads. They all lost their official appearance and manners and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Uncle Eighth! Don't forget us for such a good thing!!"

This method does not involve capital transactions, does not require higher-level finance, and can also demonstrate capabilities. Who wouldn’t want to get involved?

Seeing a group of people yelling, Li Yuan laughed.

Li Chi scolded: "Without your eighth uncle, you can't be an official? If you can't do it, just go home and farm!"

Even though the fourth generation of the Li family has come out, the eldest brother Li's preference for the youngest has not changed much.

The group of people quieted down. Li Yuan smiled at Li Chi and said: "Brother, it's okay. Let me invest in it. Neither I nor they may be able to benefit. Inland transportation is so poor that it is almost impossible to develop within ten years. But , I can still do it by letting them participate in the development wave in the south and get a share of the dividends. The advantage of this is that it will not violate any taboos and can also give them a push." ​​Then he said to Li Kun and the others. You are all half-time monks and have become officials in the yamen system, so you must be stable. Don't let me get in trouble if you get impatient."

A group of local people nodded and remembered, Li Bu smiled and said: "Uncle Eighth, I just heard those words of yours, and my heart was really cold. I won't tell lies in front of you. I just wanted to go back to the oil system." But I know that if I take this step back, I will be ruined and this will be the case for the rest of my life. When you said this, I felt confident and hopeful. Ten years of journey!”

Li Kun and others scratched their heads and rubbed their faces. Li Cheng said happily: "We still have to rely on Uncle Eight. This will save us many detours and falls!"

Nineteenth-year-old Li Chang looked at it with hot eyes and said, "Uncle Eighth, what about us? We will graduate next year, what are the regulations?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It will be easy for you. The ministries and commissions will rob you of everything after you come out. I will go back to your eighth aunt and fourth brother for advice on how to go in the future. Your road will be much easier."

Li He smiled at Li Gui, Li Chi, Li Jiang and other fathers and brothers: "If there is no youngest in this family, how can we understand these things? With the youngest here, it will be much easier for them."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not easy. They worked hard to build the road. When they were ready for development, they were transferred to other difficult places in all likelihood. Their generation is destined to be responsible for the mission of opening up wasteland. The more capable you are, the harder it will be in the future and the more effort you will put in. Whoever can bear it will get the job. On the other hand, those who are lazy will not suffer much, but they will not enjoy less blessings. How many."

Li Kun and others immediately began to curse, and those who were close to him started to move their hands and feet.

Li Yuan said unjustly: "I hid it well, why did you bring me out and clean it up?"

The younger ones laughed loudly, and Li Chang shouted: "Uncle Eighth, how come all the good things belong to Brother Eighteen?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Do you have the ability of eighteen to get along with people from all walks of life?"

Li Chang stopped talking, and Li Tang laughed and scolded: "Not to mention, this scoundrel is really good at getting around. Someone in our army knows about him and asked me if I have a younger brother named Li Yuan."

Everyone laughed!

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuan who was secretly proud and said: "Shiba, you are what I am most worried about. As long as your brothers are not mentally damaged, they will be dismissed from office and unemployed at most. You, our family is most likely to be dragged into target shooting." That one. You said you were going to be taken to target practice, what will the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law do..."

A group of third-generation people burst into laughter!

Li Yuan was about to cry and said: "Uncle Eighth, I really don't know how to do it. Aunt Eighth has been keeping an eye on me. If she goes to Shenghai, I can be more relaxed. I have bought all the fireworks and will wait for her." The old man went to Shenghai to relax in the evening. Who knew that the old man stayed in Sijiu City and went to the Planning Commission.

You don't know, there are Eight Aunt's spies everywhere in Sijiu City. If I have a drink, Eight Aunt will call me over in two days and make me stand for half a day. She didn't even say a word, so I had to write a 5,000-word review on the wall.

To be honest, I did write a report and wanted to go down and practice it. But my immediate boss said: Li Yuan, it’s not that I won’t let you go, it’s your eighth aunt who said hello to me, saying that with your little virtue, you’re only worthy of hanging around in Sijiu City. Uncle Eight, I can’t even run away! "

Li Kun and the others clapped their thighs, laughing almost to tears. Thinking about it, compared to the eighth uncle, the eighth aunt is now the big devil in the family!

If we really have to pack it up, even they can't handle it, let alone Li Yuan.

"Dad, grandma asked you to clear the table. We have half an hour to eat dumplings for the New Year!"

Li Si wore an apron and opened the door from outside and said.

He didn't come to hold a symposium. He was helping Zhao Yazhi roll out dumpling wrappers and making dumplings with a group of female elders.

Because Li Yuan said that the second oldest child in the family is the best at making dumpling wrappers.

Isn't it the best? He's perfect at concealed weapon training, so he can naturally use the rolling pin more smoothly.

A group of juniors continued to make fun of Li Yuan, while they started to move. Those who took the tabletop took the tabletop, and those who placed the legs of the table moved the legs.

In addition to the large round table, the Li family also prepared a dozen small round tables and benches for the fourth generation.

Li Yuan asked the younger brothers behind him to bring wine and juice, as well as some pastries and candies, which he had saved based on his ability.

Li Chi asked Li Yuan, "Are Tangyuan and Fugui coming back soon?"

Li Yuan looked at the watch on his wrist, nodded and said with a smile, "It should be soon."

…

Haizi, Languang Pavilion.

The working committee has organized old comrades to pay New Year greetings to each other here tonight.

Each family brought some children in. When the old man was here, except for the last year when Haizi set off firecrackers during the New Year, no firecrackers were set off.

This year it was extremely lively.

As a special guest, Li Xing was supposed to sit with the guests from Hong Kong and Macao, but he declined this arrangement and took his younger brothers and sisters to sit with Qin Daxue.

He was rich and noble, and was being held captive by Old General Niu. He was now sitting on the same table with a group of comrades in old military uniforms, holding a pig knuckle and gnawing the sweetness.

Li Xing was not at ease and kept looking over there, because the sound of the old generals drinking was really shocking.

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard singing from the other side: "I am a soldier, from the common people, defeated the Japanese invaders and wiped out the Chiang Kai-shek army!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, even Qin Daxue looked over and saw Fugui put down the pig knuckle, stood up and howled loudly at the top of his voice.

The loud voice even attracted the attention of the people at the front table.

General Niu was so proud that his children were not allowed to come over in Jinling, and he only had a close disciple beside him, but he gained a lot of face.

After the song was finished, General Niu laughed loudly and shouted: "You bastard, I keep my word, go ahead!"

Fugui grinned happily when he heard this, took the half-eaten pork knuckle and ran to Qin Daxue's table at the back.

There were so many old comrades today that Qin Daxue could only sit back and sit with Song Yun's family.

When Fugui ran to Qin Daxue and called "Mother Snow" happily, Qin Daxue took out the handkerchief, wiped his mouth and hands, and arranged for him to sit down.

Song Yun clicked her tongue at the sight, but at least she knew not to talk nonsense at this time. After turning her head and looking around, she said to Qin Daxue: "It's time to toast."

Qin Daxue looked around and saw that the children of each family were toasting their elders and then being brought to the front to show their faces. It was convenient for them to go directly to the front. Then he said to Li Xing and Fugui: "Hold my brother." younger sister."

Li Xing hesitated and said: "Mother Xue, we don't need to go..."

He didn't want to embarrass Qin Daxue and have a bad influence on Qin Daxue.

He somewhat regretted his careless thinking before sitting at this table.

Qin Daxue smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Li Xing didn't dare to say anything more and hugged Xiaoba, Fugui picked up Xiaojiu with a grin, Zhiguo followed behind with a smile, and walked to the front with the adults.

Qin Daxue raised his glass and said to Mr. Cao: "Mother Cao, I will bring the children together to wish you great blessings, happiness and good health!"

This was the first time that she called Mr. Cao Cao's mother. After hearing this, Mr. Cao was startled for a moment, and then a smile bloomed on his face. He nodded and said: "Okay, okay! I also wish you a happy Spring Festival, good luck in your work, and children's study." progress."

He reached out and held Qin Daxue's hand, tightening it tightly.

Song Yun quit and said angrily: "Daxue, I won't let you do this. Didn't I say I wish my mother good health and all the best? Where did you get the new words?"

Some old people around laughed, Qin Daxue said speechlessly: "When did we discuss it?"

Song Yun said angrily: "I thought that's what you said!"

Li Xing and Li Zhiguo looked at each other later, with a smile flashing in their eyes.

This woman, if nothing else, has some tricks up her sleeve to win glory.

It's just that in this place, it's a little childish...

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "It's all good, all is well. You can also wish Gu Gu and the others a happy New Year."

This time, Qin Daxue and Song Yun said their congratulatory speeches together. Gu Gu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay!" But he still said a little more to Qin Daxue: "Comrade Qin Xue, you have made a great contribution, but Xin Daxue I'm afraid you still have to work harder and run harder! Before you make a decision, you must investigate clearly. We need you young and capable comrades to work hard! Use your talents! Matsushita Shinnosuke told me that if China wants to succeed in reform and opening up, it needs a group of Sun Wukongs, and they are young Sun Wukongs, without the curse!"

Qin Daxue joked: "It's such a coincidence that it's so old. In the past two years, many people have called me a monkey without a tight curse!"

A group of old people laughed loudly. Gu Gu said to a woman on the side with a smile: "Mr. Sun, this comrade, even though she is a lesbian, I say she is the number one pioneer in reform. I don't think anyone will disagree!"

Mr. Sun is also a great female gentleman. Her husband was a gravedigger in the late Qing Dynasty. The old man nodded and smiled and said: "I have heard of Comrade Qin Xue's name. It is amazing." He looked back and said: "This This is your child and a heroic mother!"

Qin Daxue smiled heartily and said, "Yes, they are all my sons."

Mr. Dong suddenly raised his glass, looked at Li Xing and said: "Xiao Li, Hang Seng Bank has done a great job. It has taken back the local Chinese banks in Hong Kong Island and survived. At such a young age, he has a lot of resilience. Keep up the good work.”

Li Xing hurriedly bowed and said: "I must remember Mr. Dong's teachings and live up to your expectations. I also wish Gu Gu, Mr. Dong, Grandma Cao and all the old comrades good health and a happy new year."

Mr. Sun was surprised and said: "Is this kid from Hong Kong Island?"

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "The relationships inside are complicated, and the complicated situation created by the times. I will explain it to you in detail later."

Mr. Liu next to him said with a smile: "This young man is not simple. He controls more assets and funds than the national foreign exchange. Xiao Li, when I come to you for alms in the future, you must support me."

Li Xing smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, it is your duty to do so!"

Old Liu laughed and said, "What a duty-bound person! Well done!" He stared at Fugui and said, "Little guy, when did you become General Niu's disciple?"

Fugui grinned, without any stage fright, and said: "When I beat Annan, I was a guard for the old general!"

Not far away, General Niu scolded: "What a fool! You know you are my disciple, but you still call me General!"

People around him burst into laughter, and the old man at the table also laughed and shook his head.

Qin Daxue said to Mr. Cao: "Mother Cao, I will send them back to spend the New Year with their grandparents first, and then go to the flower hall to accompany you."

Mr. Cao waved his hand and said, "I feel dizzy after drinking two drinks today. I just need to go back to sleep. Please don't come."

Qin Daxue nodded with a smile and said, "Then you have a good rest, and I will go to you tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings."

After that, he took Li Xing, Fugui, Zhiguo and left with Xiaoba and Xiaojiu.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at this scene, and I don't know how many people felt relieved, and some of them scolded her for being stupid.

Mr. Cao said helplessly to the others at the table: "Look, he is such a straight-tempered person. He doesn't want to hide it in any twists and turns. There is no way around it."

Mr. Dong smiled and said: "We who are harsh on others should be open-minded and honest with the organization."

Mr. Cao said distressedly: "You suffer the consequences if you are straight-tempered. You only focus on doing things and don't take anything else seriously."

Gu Gu smiled and said, "Sister Cao, don't worry, those are all trivial matters."

…

"Mother……"

Li Xing drove the Crown car on the way back to Qinjiazhuang. Fugui sat in the passenger seat. Qin Daxue held his daughter and Zhiguo, who held his brother, sat in the back seat together. Xiaojiu looked at her mother and suddenly called out softly.

Qin Daxue looked at her ridiculously beautiful daughter and smiled warmly: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jiu said: "Mom, I miss you very much."

Qin Daxue's heart trembled when he heard this. He looked at his daughter's eyes carefully and found that her eyes were full of smiles. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a bright smile on his face: "Little Jiu'er, be good, mommy misses you too. !”

Zhiguo looked at Qin Daxue and said, "Mom, my younger brothers and sisters can go home. I can take good care of them."

Hearing this, Qin Daxue found it difficult to open his mouth. Fugui in front of him suddenly turned around and said, "Okay, little Liu'er, you can run back to accompany Xue's mother. We have already spared you once. Do you still want to take over the eighth brother and the ninth sister?" Run away, you think so! I'll have a fight with you when I get home!"

Li Xing also laughed and said: "Governing the country is too much!"

Zhiguo also knew that he said the wrong thing, so he smiled quickly and said: "Okay, okay, I said it wrong. My brother and sister should stay on Hong Kong Island first and come back when they go to middle school."

Qin Daxue touched his son's head and said with a smile: "Wherever they are accustomed to be, that's where they are. Mom, I will try my best to see them as much as possible." After a pause, his nose was still sore and his eyes were a little red and he said: "It's mom, I'm sorry for you."

Zhiguo said hurriedly: "Mom! What did you say?"

Li Xing glanced at the co-pilot, and then said to Qin Daxue from the rearview mirror: "Mother Xue, please stop talking, look at the wealth, you will burst into tears!"

Fugui sobbed and denied: "I didn't! I just think that Mother Xue is too great!"

Qin Daxue laughed and reached out from behind the seat, rubbed Fugui's head, and praised: "Good son, so kind! Just like your mother."

Li Xing's eyes were full of smiles and he said: "Mother Xue, you are also our mother, and we are a family. Don't worry, your younger brothers and sisters will grow up very happily. Besides, they have to grow up quickly. , I’m going to be my uncle and my aunt soon.”

Qin Daxue laughed again, and looked down at the girl in his arms and his son who was scribbling on the leather seat with a pen on Zhiguo's lap, his eyes soft...

…

"It's back, it's back!"

"Get ready, get ready!"

At the entrance of the Li family compound, I watched the Crown car drive from a distance, auspiciously and wishfully greeting the nephews numbered 30 or 40 to line up.

As soon as the car door opened, they saw the two of them playing time and singing:

“Socialism is good Socialism is good

People in socialist countries have high status

The reactionaries were defeated

Imperialism ran away with its tail between its legs

Great unity of the people of the country

Launched a high dynasty of socialist construction

Build a high dynasty! "

Qin Daxue was smiling, and Zhiguo gently tugged on her sleeve. Qin Daxue followed his son's instructions and looked up, and saw a large family waiting at the door.

On the eighteenth day, Li Yuan lit a firework, and there was only a "bang" sound, and a little spark of fire jumped up into the night sky, and then bloomed.

It’s like the east wind blooming flowers on thousands of trees at night and blowing down stars like rain!

Qin Daxue hugged Xiaoba and Xiaojiu and strode inside to go home for the New Year.

Behind him, Fugui has joined the team of brothers and nephews, and they continue to sing at the top of their lungs:

“Socialism is good Socialism is good

People in socialist countries have high status

The reactionaries were defeated

Imperialism ran away with its tail between its legs

Great unity of the people of the country

…”
