As the Spring Festival is approaching, the Chinese New Year atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and it is once again a joyful time of the year.
The world's second largest economy has fallen into a rare economic shutdown crisis. Countless factories have stopped production, all stock exchanges have stopped trading, and only a small number of stores providing daily necessities are open. Business is in a depression!
Hundreds of millions of people have fled cities, creating the largest population migration in the world.
Its scale is so grand that it is equivalent to moving the entire population of Africa, Europe, America, and Oceania at once, which is jaw-dropping and dumbfounding.
Every household welcomes the festival by posting eye-catching slogans at the door, and even worse, using fireworks, firecrackers and other explosives. The streets and alleys are filled with the smoke left by the explosives.
A large number of people with nothing to do poured into the streets, formed gangs, drank and played cards all day long, and did not do their jobs properly.
It is really shocking and makes people sigh.
The above is the Spring Festival, a large-scale social movement that is staged every year in China. This social movement also has a tendency to spread overseas, with similar plots being staged in Chinese gathering places around the world.
The reason behind it is thought-provoking. Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature? It is worthy of reflection (funny).
It can be said to be a classic chant.
As a large number of people returned to their hometowns for the New Year, the streets in Gu Town, which were not spacious to begin with, suddenly became congested and made it difficult to walk.
Among the busy streets, two Rolls-Royces with Shanghai license plates are particularly eye-catching, becoming the most beautiful scenery on the street and attracting everyone's attention.
Even if you are in a crowded street, there will be a vacuum area around you. Many fellow villagers are afraid to avoid it, and they look at these two big cars from time to time, with envy in their eyes.
"Damn it, which boss (boss) has made a fortune outside? Isn't it too inhumane to drive two big cars home during the Chinese New Year?"
"Hupai, could it be that the CEO of Morning Light is back?"
"Are you ignorant? CEO Chenguang hasn't been home for the New Year for many years. These two cars should be the cars of Zhou Dongsheng, the new richest man in our town!"
"Two years ago, I was still selling sexy underwear in the town, but now I have become a billionaire. If I had known better, I should have hugged my thighs earlier. If I hang around with such a boss, I won't be hungry even for a mouthful of soup, right?"
"The situation has become smaller. If I were to be reborn, the first thing I would do would be to take Zhou Dongsheng as my younger brother and let him work for me to earn money. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?"
For a time, the streets inside and outside were filled with happy air.
After all, you are free when you are stuck in a traffic jam, and chatting during the Chinese New Year is not the only thing to do. At the same time, many people took out their mobile phones and shot Douyin short videos, uploading the news of Zhou Dongsheng's return to his hometown for the New Year to the Internet.
Relevant news quickly spread throughout the city, triggering quite a heated discussion.
After all, returning home in rich clothes, like honoring one's ancestors, is enough to rank as one of the most beautiful things in life that most people can only dream of in their lives.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng, who had already expected this, was not in the car, but adopted the tactic of separating people and cars, and had already returned home one step ahead.
At this moment, already in his own Feitianxiashanhu, the old god is having tea with his old mother, exchanging many harvests and interesting things throughout the year.
"Your business is getting bigger and bigger now. Even in my hometown, I can hear your movements every day. My ears are almost ringing with noise..."
Although Liu Huaiying said this, her lips almost reached the corners of her head, which undoubtedly betrayed her duplicity.
It is said that a man will remain a boy until he dies, but women are not the same.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and said nothing while drinking tea, but there was an extraordinarily full happiness in his heart. Guangzong Yaozu was nothing to Zhou Dongsheng...
But being able to make his old mother proud is undoubtedly a worthwhile life goal. Now it seems that he has exceeded this goal by too much.
Looking around this new house, which was built only three or two years ago, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but said: "Mom, do you think this house is a bit small..."
Xiashanhu is a relatively small house among Chaoshan folk houses. The courtyard upon entering has only one patio and two rooms, which is only about a hundred square meters in total.
In the past, when the population was booming, a family was often very cramped, let alone spreading out and having three generations living under one roof.
In comparison, the higher-level SiDianJin, the second courtyard, which is equivalent to the area of two tigers descending from the mountain, is undoubtedly much more impressive. The front yard is also for entertaining guests, and the back yard is mainly for living, so the spatial pattern is naturally a higher level.
building.
If the tiger that descends from the mountain upon entering the hospital is a reflection of the family's relatively limited financial resources, then the four golden points upon entering the hospital on the second day is undoubtedly a reflection of the strength of the family's relatively substantial financial resources. Rounded up, it is equivalent to today's well-off level.
However, regardless of whether you enter the first or second courtyard, it basically belongs to ordinary people. On this basis, the horse trailer that has been further expanded is not only a symbol of wealth or wealth, but also the most well-known luxury house type.
The courtyard has three entrances and three exits. In addition to the owner's family living in the inner house in the middle, the front and back are guarded to protect the main house. These two areas are mainly used for nannies and servants.
As for going one step further, top-level apartments such as "Hundred Birds Chasing the Phoenix" can accommodate an entire prosperous family, which fully reflects the cohesion of the clan.
However, with the development of the times, this type of house type has basically become the swan song of the times. The existing house types can basically be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which is more than a hundred years ago.
For example, the famous former residence of Chen Cihong, the largest mansion in Chaoshan, covers an area of more than 540,000 square meters and has more than 500 houses. It was built from the Xuantong period to 1930 and was never completed.
Whether in that era or in today's prosperous era, a mansion of this size is definitely second to none in luxury.
Among them, perhaps the most interesting description of Chen Cihong’s former residence is that there is a servant who is responsible for opening and closing the windows. He starts opening the windows before dawn. After opening them one by one, he starts to close them one by one again. After closing, it is just dawn.
black.
From this unremarkable description, it is not difficult to see that wealthy people in every era generally live the same simple and boring happy life.
And to this day, the Feitianxiashanhu that was originally built is more than enough for the mother and son to live in, but if you include the nanny, bodyguard, and others, it is undoubtedly not enough.
After all, even if Zhou Dongsheng doesn't go home often, there is always an empty room for him here.
"It's a bit too small, especially since this person is old and his legs and feet are not strong enough. It is even more difficult to go up and down the stairs... The most important thing is that such a big place will not be enough for my fat grandson to play in the future..."
When the old mother changes the topic, she can always change the topic to something she likes to hear and see from an unexpected angle.
Even Zhou Dongsheng, who was now used to seeing strong winds and waves, was almost hurt by this sudden arousal.
"Mom, you are truly true to your original aspiration! Your son is only in his early twenties. How can you marry young in your prime years?"
Zhou Dongsheng said dumbfounded.
"What's the matter? You shouldn't plan this kind of thing early. While my legs and feet are still strong and I can take care of my grandson, hurry up. Three years is not too much for two. If you can give me a twin, then you
Mom can wake up laughing even in her dreams..."
Liu Huaiying babbled, Zhou Dongsheng was not bothered by it. After reading all the sails and washing all the fine work, in the end, it was still for this little thing.
Especially for Zhou Dongsheng who had to live his life again, he was even more happy.
It was only after listening that Zhou Dongsheng realized, my dear, why didn't you just show that your legs and feet were not strong enough? When it comes to your grandson, these legs and feet are just as good as yours?
What a medical miracle!
"Okay, okay, how about I marry you two more daughters-in-law? How about we get it right in one step, get nine out of three, and stage a "nine sons seizing the legitimate children" script for you in one go?"
Zhou Dongsheng joked with a playful smile.
"Okay, if you really have this ability, can my mother still stop you? Now that your wings are strong, I can't control you anymore. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings... It's just that my mother is getting old, so I'm afraid I can't see you anymore.
Arrived!"
This was too hard, so the old mother flexibly changed her tactics and changed to a soft one. She used both soft and hard tactics, and she showed her true qualities as a heroine.
"Why don't you find one for me? You also know that your son is dazzling with flowers outside now. He is dazzled by the choices. It is really difficult to make a choice..."
"They say the matchmaker's words are the orders of the parents. How about you always make the decision for me?"
Not to be outdone, Zhou Dongsheng made a move to retreat in order to advance.
"I can't be your master, as long as you like it, I won't pick on your mother anyway..."
Liu Huaiying said with a smile and did not accept the move at all, otherwise he would be more mature than he is old.
"You're making it difficult for me..." Zhou Dongsheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
Fortunately, this mahogany tea table actually weighs a hundred pounds. Otherwise, as soon as these words came out, I would have to lift the table up and down to add to the fun.
While the mother and son were chatting about household chores, Li Jiana and the others finally hurried back home. In addition to two large trucks, there were also two indispensable cars of New Year's goods.
"Aunt Liu, I wish you a happy birthday~" Li Jiana said in a brisk tone.
At this time, she had already changed her previous sexy and charming dressing style, and instead put on a slightly plain brown sweater with a black long skirt, plus a beige long coat, with her black hair falling down, and even more
Add a bit of elegance and pleasantness.
Coupled with her beautiful face that resembles Zhu Zhu, she really has the air of a good wife and loving mother like "Ma Suqin".
"Hey, Nana is here?" Liu Huaiying said with a smile.
Since becoming Zhou Dongsheng's assistant, Li Jiana has dealt with Liu's mother many times.
After going back and forth, the two women naturally became familiar with each other, and even their titles became extremely familiar.
After all, both parties know very well that one is the most important woman to Zhou Dongsheng, and the other is probably the woman who stays with Zhou Dongsheng the longest all year round...
"We are celebrating the New Year with Aunt Liu this year. Aunt Liu won't welcome us, right?" Li Jiana held her mother Liu's arm in a particularly familiar manner and said with a sweet smile.
"It's better to be lively. I just like liveliness. I just told Dongsheng that it's a bit deserted..."
Mother Liu patted the back of Li Jiana's hand and said with a smile.
Although Li Jiana understood what Liu's mother was saying, she was very sensible and did not respond, let alone follow the stick.
After all... after all, she is Zhou Dongsheng's assistant.
Even if she has some little thoughts of her own, she naturally knows what should not be exceeded.
So Li Jiana instead asked Mother Liu to change the subject, "Aunt Liu, let's take a look at these new year's goods first. These are all carefully prepared by the chairman, and he also wants to give you a surprise..."
"Oh? It's rare that this kid is so thoughtful..." Mother Liu smiled broadly and began to count the New Year's goods under the leadership of Li Jiana.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but secretly give Li Jiana a thumbs up.
Naturally, the motorcade is indispensable for its drivers. In addition to Lao Qin and Xiao Zhang, five additional bodyguards have been dispatched to prepare for emergencies.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng has now become a well-deserved top VIP customer of this security company, and he naturally makes no concessions in terms of service.
"Everyone has worked hard on the road. I'm sorry to ask you to spend the New Year with me this year..."
Zhou Dongsheng is an ordinary person, so even if he paid three times the price for it, he is not naturally arrogant.
The so-called winning people's hearts really depends on these small details.
Money alone is not enough to make people sacrifice their lives. The number one male gunner in a certain island server has proved this with practical actions.
The human heart is the most unpredictable, so you still need to have the most basic sense of awe.
Seeing how elegant and easy-going Zhou Dongsheng was, all the bodyguards couldn't help but smile from the bottom of their hearts.
The leader quickly said: "What did the boss say? This is our honor. We have followed the old captain for many years. We will definitely fulfill our duties, abide by our duties, and protect you and your family..."
Lao Qin also promised: "Boss, you can rest assured, I can guarantee the soldiers I brought out..."
"Okay, I believe in Lao Qin's vision. From now on, we will all be our brothers, so be patient!"
Zhou Dongsheng said cheerfully.
Several people responded in unison, and then began to disperse under Lao Qin's arrangement. It was naturally essential to familiarize themselves with the environment first.
………
At the same time, Zhou Desheng returned to Gu Town empty-handed after wandering for a year.
Feeling the strong Spring Festival atmosphere permeating the town, every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the whole family looks happy.
Zhou Desheng, who has been wandering for half his life and is still alone, can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
But... unlike others, he has an exceptionally promising son.
After the last unhappy breakup, it turned out that Zhou Desheng had made up his mind not to be rejected again.
But he never expected that Zhou Dongsheng would soar into the sky and reach such heights.
Even though he has never fulfilled the responsibility of being a father, abandoning his wife and children to care about his own happiness...
But seeing his own kind succeeding does not stop him from being proud of it.
Obviously, this kind of person cannot be viewed with normal people's thinking, otherwise it would not be possible for him to do so many outrageous things.
"Hey, if you come to visit me during the Chinese New Year, you won't punch and kick me, right? Brat, you're still too young to fight with me..."
Zhou Desheng was still thinking about his little thoughts.
