After picking up Han Shu and his wife, Shen Guodong entered the house and saw Li Xuecai asking Brother Biao.
He smiled and said, "You'll know after you go there!"
After saying that, he motioned to Lao Biaozi and said: "Brother Biao said that even when you pee, your chickens will be frozen from the ground. After you pee, you will hit him with a stick."
"Hey hey hey~"
Li Xuecai also had that bad spirit when he was with them. Now he teased the old Biaozi and said, "Brother Biao, has that little chicken frozen?"
"What do you think?"
Lao Biaozi looked at him speechlessly and said: "Brother Guodong will do whatever you say. Hitting him with a stick is not knocking the chicken, but knocking the urine."
"oops--"
Ji Yuxiu came down from upstairs and walked into the restaurant to hear them talking about this. She really couldn't bear it.
She scolded Li Xuecai and said, "Can you learn something good?"
"Hey! Director Ji, you said it!"
Silly Zhu lit up the younger generation in the restaurant from the kitchen and said: "They are all captured here, there are no good people!"
"Hey! Who's the biggest here?!"
Lao Biaozi was leaning on the sofa and said to the kitchen: "If you want to be the one who leads the bad guys, you have to be the one!"
"Don't feel bad saying this!"
Silly Zhu curled his lips and said: "I am an honest person, get along well with others, and never do bad things."
"Um--"
Shen Guodong pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table. He let out a snort and said, "You are so shameless!"
"That's right!"
Li Xuewu laughed and said: "Brother Zhuzhu has eaten it before, and it only costs a few cents per pound!"
"Hey! More people bully less people, right?"
Silly Zhu laughed and said: "You guys are all working together. You really think I'm easy to bully, don't you?"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, pointed at a few people and said, "Are you coming one by one, or together?!"
"Oh~ha!"
Shen Guodong and Lao Biaozi looked at each other, and they could see the surprised look in each other's eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and said to Lao Biaozi: "Brother Biao, how many years has it been since I last saw you who dared to say this?"
"That's because you are ignorant!"
Silly Zhu hooked his hands at several people and said, "Come here!"
"Brother Zhu, don't you want to be lazy and stop cooking while you're being beaten?"
Lao Biaozi stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Wouldn't it be impolite for this New Year guy to keep you on the kang until you can't get off the floor for half a month?"
"Okay, don't be too light or too heavy."
Li Xuewu packed up the big carp in his hand and said to the two of them: "Just beat him until he lies on the kang for a week."
"Also, if you want to do it, you have to wait until the meal is done, otherwise I will have to cook."
"No! No need to persuade!"
Silly Zhu blocked the door of the kitchen and shouted: "You come one, I will knock down one of you, you come with a pair, I will knock down both!"
He arched his arms and said, "You don't want to ask anyone who ruled the world before Jiaodaokou."
"Hey! Today is really an eye-opener!"
Lao Biaozi pointed to the dining table and said: "Come on, gentlemen, the place is small and you have everything in your hands."
He stretched out his sleeves, sat down on the chair with a clear mind, shook his arms vigorously, and said: "Let us meet the old seniors at Jiaodaokou."
"Well - you have to call me Qianlang!"
Shen Guodong cheered on the side: "As the old saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front hit the beach."
"Brother Zhu, if they say that, I don't agree with it."
Li Xuewu put down the scissors in his hand, shook his head and said, "You are a famous wrestling expert in our hospital, how can you be afraid of him in terms of strength?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Zhu, be more energetic and don't lose your position."
Seeing Silly Zhu coming out of the kitchen with his arms swinging, he said angrily: "Good job!"
"You guys are really good at it!"
Li Xue also came down from upstairs, followed by three children, two older and one younger.
Dong Mengyuan, Zhang Xinmin, Li Shu.
Counting the two upstairs, as well as Wen San's son and Sha Zhu's son in the courtyard, how many children will be playing together from now on.
"Look, the children are watching. You are playing with the fire and you haven't even finished cooking yet!"
"I see, I see"
Li Shu didn't care what her little aunt was saying, she only knew that there was a lot of excitement here.
I bypassed the dining table and climbed onto the sofa, lying on the backrest and watching the adults chatting and laughing.
But when she saw Uncle Biao and Uncle Zhu wrestling with each other, she thought they were starting to fight. Her eyes widened with excitement, and she was afraid of missing the exciting details.
"beat!"
When she saw that the two men were just competing with each other without taking action, she became anxious and jumped up and shouted that she wanted to fight.
After being teased by Silly Zhu and Lao Biaozi, they no longer have the energy to fight with each other.
"She has to be my daughter."
Li Xuewu smiled and praised: "I love peace so much that I am afraid that uncles and uncles will fight."
Li Shu blinked, not understanding what her father was talking about. Did she mean that?
In the end, Silly Zhu, who was wielding a large spoon, had better wrist strength, and seemed to be proud of something.
"I don't want anything from you either!"
He lit Lao Biaozi and said, "When it's served later, you'll have to punish yourself with three drinks, and I'll count you as having passed."
After speaking, he pointed at Shen Guodong and asked: "What about you, do you want to try it? You were so arrogant just now."
"I'm afraid of you?"
Shen Guodong did not lose the battle even if he lost the opponent. He hid behind his body, but his words were not forgiving.
"I'm just worried that you'll be injured and won't be able to swing a large spoon for a while. After we've eaten and drank enough, we'll dry it outside."
"Hey, man, you said this!"
Silly Zhu nodded at him and said, "We need something."
"Whatever you say, I will follow!"
Shen Guodong said: "As long as you don't make money, it's up to you!"
"Look at your potential!"
Silly Zhu curled his lips and said: "I'm not a man anymore. I don't take any money with me when I go out. Yan Zi is too strict with you!"
"Brother Zhu~"
Xiaoyan heard it from outside the door, walked in and asked angrily: "How much will my sister-in-law leave you every month?"
"Hey! Look at what you asked!"
Silly Zhu patted his chest and said, "Do you know the status of the head of the family? Do you know what a man who makes money is?"
"No nonsense!"
Seeing him cover up, Shen Guodong asked funnyly: "I don't believe you have more than me!"
"I don't care how much"
Silly Zhu walked to the kitchen casually, hesitating as he walked: "I don't care about money, I don't like money, I have no interest in money..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I said yes!"
Shen Guodong raised his eyebrows and said, "Your face is cleaner than your pocket, so you have the nerve to talk about me!"
He patted his trouser pocket and said boldly: "What the hell, we still have five or eight yuan in our pocket to squeeze my waist."
"Well, quite a few"
Li Xuewen suddenly interjected: "It's more than my pocket money."
"Hahaha!"
The men working in the house compared each other with how strict their wives or partners were, how clean their pockets were, and how miserable and wronged they were, which made everyone laugh.
Li Xuecai looked at them funny and looked back at Ji Yuxiu.
Ji Yuxiu wrinkled her nose and gave him an expression that you should do in the future.
Just now, Li Xuecai looked like he was watching the fun, but now he suddenly became unhappy.
We are all downgraded people at the end of the world. After laughing at others, we laugh at ourselves.
------------------
Li Xuewu didn't know how many dishes he planned to cook today. He only knew that Qin Jingru asked Han Jiankun to move out a lot of inventory.
They were all given by others years ago, or brought back by Li Xuewu.
There are only a few people in the family, and even Han Jiankun and his wife are eating here and can't finish it.
Chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep, pigs, seafood and specialty products are now civilized outside and cannot be stored in the cellar.
So when there are too many people, eat these things quickly. Not wasting them is also a kind of frugality.
Li Xuewu picked up three big carp alone, Li Xuewen picked up a chicken, and Lao Biaozi picked up a duck.
Things like seafood were already frozen in the lump of ice. Han Jiankun had taken them out and melted them before Xiaoyan and Ji Yuxiu came in to clean them up together.
Li Xue was not idle either, her three children were chirping, and it looked like she wanted to work in the kitchen more than take care of the children.
Li Xuecai got his wish, he kept watching the fire, and all three stoves in the house were used.
Not only that, he also takes care of the heating boiler and the firewood in the fireplace.
There was a lot of busy work inside and outside, carrying firewood and lighting the fire.
I have to mention Shazhu’s craftsmanship and ability here. He used three woks, stew pots and steamers on three heating boilers at the same time, with ease and ease.
Maybe this is the basic skill of a chef, his eyesight is clear and his hands and feet are nimble.
Xiaoyan's knife skills are still good, and with Ji Yuxiu's help, she can fully meet his needs.
If there is a need for special knife skills, he can pick up a kitchen knife and prepare the dishes with a few swipes.
While he was cooking, several people who had finished their work put on their coats and stood outside the hall smoking cigarettes.
There are too many restrictions in this house, there are many children, and they are very small. He might still smoke one when he is at home alone.
But there are so many people smoking, so we don’t dare to smoke in the house.
Even though Gu Ning was physically inconvenient, when he moved downstairs to live, the smell of cigarette smoke left by the old lady's smoking still lingered in the house.
The smell of cigarettes is more overwhelming than the smell of farts.
If you don't believe me, just be honest. If someone smokes, you can smell it upstairs and downstairs, but farting may not have such a far-reaching effect.
Secondly, as long as there are often people smoking in a space, the smell will linger for a long time.
But I have never heard that farts in the bedroom always stink.
Secondhand smoke is not just the white smoke emitted when smoking, but also includes the smell that can be emitted eight or nine meters away, and also includes the smell that lingers for a long time.
Therefore, Li Xuewu must have a longer memory from now on. He cannot smoke in front of his children, let alone the smell of cigarettes that affects his children.
It doesn't matter to adults, there are children who are affected by the smell of smoke and have slow intellectual development.
Of course, you have to say that in the past, the old ladies at home each had a big pipe, and there was no fool in the family. This Li Xuewu will not be stubborn with you.
To flaunt your doubts about science as an individual is in itself a kind of ignorance.
Advising people to quit smoking is like killing them. He also insists that someone got lung cancer or something after quitting smoking. He can't see those people whose health improved after quitting smoking.
Why?
Because smokers are the toughest smokers. They clearly know that this is a matter of probability, but they look to the paranoid side of their hearts.
Li Xuewu consumes a lot of cigarettes, but he doesn't smoke them, but takes them loose.
He is still young, has no addiction to smoking, and controls it well. He basically does not smoke except for meetings or social occasions.
Of course, intentional ones don't count.
If he is being mischievous, he can smoke continuously without reaching his mouth. When he smokes, he sprays, and when he smokes, he sprays, just like a smoke bomb.
The only ones standing at the door puffing away smoke were the three brothers, Li Xuewu, Li Wenbiao and Shen Guodong.
I smoked by the way, but the main thing was to talk about Steel City.
On weekdays, we have radio or secret message contacts, and there is no need to elaborate on key business matters.
In particular, Li Xuewu appointed Lao Biaozi as the supervisor of developing business in Northeast China, and would not restrict him in terms of specific business.
Micro-management has proven to be a failed management method. Li Xuewu does not have the talent and strategy of the captain, let alone do his willful things.
The brothers are still talking about strategic issues.
“I went to Fengcheng a few years ago and made some connections, mainly to train agents.”
Lao Biaozi took a puff of cigarette, shook his head slightly and said: "There are many cowards and few serious ones."
"normal"
Shen Guodong stood at the foot of the steps, looked at Lao Biaozi and said: "There are only a few serious people who dare to speculate these days."
He looked around and said: "Perhaps those who live and work in peace and contentment will not risk their lives for the sake of three melons and two dates."
"One more"
Shen Guodong hesitated for a moment and said: "You have to be more careful yourself. You must not have the intention of harming others and be on guard against others. The Northeast is much more barbaric than the capital."
"Well, I have experienced it"
Lao Biaozi pointed to his forehead, then gestured with his big female fingers and said with a smile: "If you hit me with such a thick hunting tube, it will cost you five thousand yuan."
"What the hell, what he said makes me want to do this. It's so profitable."
"Whose relationship?"
Li Xuewu frowned slightly. He had not heard about this matter. If he had known about it, he would not have let Lao Biaozi do such a dangerous thing.
But Lao Biaozi shook his head and said: "In the past, when I went out to do business, there was no smooth sailing. I wanted to make money, and I couldn't be reckless."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He waved his hand and said: "I know, if I tell you, it can be settled easily, but what about the future?"
"We can't use our relationships and status to pressure people every time, right?"
Lao Biaozi took a puff of his cigarette and said: "There are rules on the road. If I want to make this money, I have to abide by these rules of the game."
He knew that Li Xuewu was concerned about his safety, and reminded him with a smile: "You taught me this."
"I didn't teach you to risk your life."
Li Xuewu glanced at him, then took a puff of cigarette and said: "Hurry up and coordinate local relations, both on the surface and behind the scenes."
"Well, it's already being done."
Lao Biaozi nodded and reported: "Everything is easy to deal with. If you have connections, you can always find someone."
"As for the following, I'm still sifting through it."
He shook his head slightly and said: "The plan to get rich you told me about, I still want to be on the safe side and add another layer of insurance."
With that said, he explained to Li Xuewu that he wanted to establish an agency mechanism and a model of separating money, goods and accounts.
Even in terms of the way of processing, we choose to handle it off-site and convert everything to business-to-business, leaving no future trouble.
Of course, if you ask where so many male-to-male relationships come from, it’s actually quite simple.
A company's relationship with a factory is also called public-to-public, a commune's relationship with a company is also called public-to-public, and a cooperative's relationship with a factory can also be called public-to-public.
There is no electronic system verification these days. As long as you do it covertly, no one will know what you are doing.
Unless we catch the financial staff on your line and get your account books.
Otherwise, there was a time in later generations when auditors were desperately trying to grab the account books while performing their tasks.
Of course it was no longer necessary later. As long as all operations are within the country, there will always be system verification and retrieval, and there will always be something you can’t match.
Especially the invoice, it will directly block you.
Don't believe what various channels tell you about whether you need to pay the bill. If you don't check, you'll be fine. If you are found, no one can protect you.
Of course the person selling the tickets will tell you that it's fine. If I were selling you something, I would also say that my stuff is fine, okay, that's fine.
“Maybe I’m thinking too complicatedly.”
Lao Biaozi squatted on the ground, smoking a cigarette and said: "But there is still time, and you can always find great wisdom if you search slowly."
"Don't let the snake bite you"
Shen Guodong reminded: "Don't just think that you are the only smart person in the world, others may treat you like a fat pig."
"It's normal to be playful."
Lao Biaozi looked back at Li Xuewu and said, "Brother Wu, when will the first batch of electrical appliances be released?"
"At the end of the year"
Li Xuewu flicked the ashes from his cigarette, looked at Lao Biaozi and said: "You still have time to ship bulk goods, at least until the middle of next year."
"But the shipbuilding speed in Yingcheng is so fast, it's like making dumplings."
He reminded: "Shipbuilding equipment is already being installed, glass fiber reinforced plastic equipment has also begun to be installed, and supporting industries are rushing to meet the deadline. It is basically guaranteed to complete installation and commissioning before the end of June."
"Your factory is really awesome, you risk your life and time."
Lao Biaozi shook his head and said with emotion: "It will take half a year to put the equipment in place, and it must have production capacity. Many factories dare not think of it."
“After all, technology and equipment have a lead time limit.”
Li Xuewu explained to him: "Furthermore, a professional team of engineers is responsible for the installation and debugging of the equipment."
It should also be said here that Li Xuewu clearly avoided the pitfall when creating the contract.
The installation of the equipment is completely left to you, but you must ask the other party to provide installation instructions.
And the installation time and production quality directly determine the subsequent production rate.
Produce the day earlier and make money the day earlier. The power of capital is huge. You can see how anxious foreign businessmen are by seeing the equipment and engineers arriving at Yingcheng Port one after another.
"The sacrifice of manpower and material resources is not worth mentioning on the premise that the mechanical equipment has been installed and produced."
Li Xuewu flicked his cigarette butt away and said: "The simplest example is that it is impossible for fiberglass to be produced according to the usage of the shipyard. It must exceed the standard."
"Why?"
He raised his eyebrows and said: "As long as the steel rolling mill wants to sell, there will be units that need it. This is a necessity for technological leadership."
"Of course, these products must be limited to meet the needs of the rolling mill's own industry."
Li Xuewu explained: "Including shipbuilding, cars, motorcycles, equipment and packaging, etc., this is a future material."
"I told you to prepare early. Colleagues who are building yachts, Yingcheng Shipyard is about to launch a speedboat project."
He emphasized: "When the time comes, we will first open up channels and relationships, and then start with small commodities. We cannot start dumping home appliances right away."
"You want to save face, right? Hehe"
Lao Biaozi chuckled and said, "That's true of me. We just cooperated to build a factory, and then we cheated others. It's really unethical."
"If you want to save face, how can you still be benevolent and righteous when doing business?"
Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "We couldn't do electrical appliance dumping at the beginning because there was no market for this category of electrical appliances."
He explained to the confused two people: "You can't wait until foreign businessmen have cultivated the market, and let the people on the other side think that this kind of thing is profitable before they cooperate with you. Otherwise, can you make money?"
"Oh, high! It's really high!"
------------------
"Let me mention one!"
Silly Zhu stood on one side of the dining table, holding a wine glass, and said to everyone at the table: "Those who are married and have children are considered adults when they come to the dining table."
After speaking, he glanced at Li Xuecai and Shen Guodong, smiled and said: "The rest can go to the children's table."
"Hahaha!"
Except for Gu Ning, who was in confinement upstairs, Zhao Yafang, who was taking care of the child, and Mai Qinglan, who was pregnant, who ate in the small living room on the second floor, everyone else came down to the restaurant.
The old lady and the eldest grandma sat on the main seats, Ding Fengxia and Liu Yin sat next to the old lady, and Li Shun sat next to the eldest grandma.
Han Shu, Ji Yuxiu, Xiaoyan and Li Xue sat at one end, and the men sat at the other end.
The children set up another table on the coffee table in the restaurant, including the ones upstairs. The dishes on the three tables were the same, but the portion sizes were different.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This gathering is regarded as a Chinese New Year and a celebration of the successors in this small circle.
Ding Fengxia has rarely come into contact with such people from the city, but she can see a different youthfulness and freedom in their jokes and liveliness.
Although they are all ordinary people, their eyes are full of hope and energy for life.
A man who has a career and a man who loves his family have different temperaments.
Especially in conversations and exchanges, there is some unique elegance in the vulgarity, making him appear arrogant and independent.
Even He Yuzhu, a chef, has a different level of confidence and high spirits.
Being a worker, having special skills, having a harmonious family, getting married and having children, for the younger generation who grew up in the hutong, this is considered the pinnacle of life, and the hutongs are the best.
In Li Xuewu's family, he may not be the best, but he must be the happiest one.
Happiness does not depend on how much you have, but on how much you see.
Some people say how big my circle is, how wide my connections are, and who I know.
Useless!
A man from Sijiucheng would dare to be related to the man above even if he said in a roundabout way that he knew him.
You have to tell me what you do!
Oh, you said that there are elder brothers in our circle who are cadres, younger brothers in our circle who are doing business, and there are also scientists in our circle.
Ask yourself, I am working at home.
Then you are not a member of this circle. Even if you get into this circle, you are still a vassal and foil of this circle.
Circle culture has existed since ancient times, and the more advanced one was in the Song Dynasty, where there were power struggles, Wang Anshi and his ilk, and there are many people who have left their names in history.
The more ordinary one wrote "Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang". He was a poor boy, but he had a reputation for talent. He was listed as one of the "Three Masters of Poetry and Prose in the Early Ming Dynasty" along with Liu Ji and Gao Qi.
Do you think this is the end?
No, he is a model of grassroots counterattack. The long circulation of this article is related to his identity.
Together with Liu Ji and Fang Xiaoru, he is known as the "Three Masters of Prose in the Early Ming Dynasty", and he is also Fang Xiaoru's teacher.
You may not know who Liu Ji is, but you must have heard of his name, Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man.
Where is Fang Xiaoru?
When Zhu Yuanzhang, a great thinker, died, he was transferred to Beijing to be Zhu Yunwen's teacher.
Just think about it, Song Lian can train a student as famous as himself, and can be as famous as Liu Bowen in history, how difficult it is for a poor child.
So what is the role and significance of a circle to a person?
According to Li Xuewu's analysis of the circle and his cultural definition of this kind of friendship, everyone should have their own merits and make progress together.
To put it simply, each must have a career and motivation to improve, as well as a love and interest in life.
Lao Biaozi is a man who laughs and laughs, and has no serious moments at all.
But when he does things, he is more motivated than anyone else and is more serious than anyone else.
I know that running a recycling bin in Northeast China is not a flattering job, and requires a lot of work and responsibilities.
But when Li Xuewu asked, he took the initiative and took his wife there without hesitation.
The Northeast at this time was still different from that of later generations. Some customs were more dangerous, and due to survival and other reasons, the remote low-end areas or some corners where the sun did not shine were full of instability.
Of course, if we follow this standard, it will be the same across the country, and there will be such dark corners everywhere.
But as Lao Biaozi himself said, when you go out to do business, there is no such thing as smooth sailing.
This place seems dangerous, that place seems troublesome, so do we still want to do business?
To take responsibility and dare to take responsibility is the most common cognition in this small circle.
Even Shen Guodong, who has a lazy temperament and is not easy to compete with, will show a ruthless side at work.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, everyone has a handful of bitter tears, goes out, stands up, and bears the pressure given by the times and family.
When we get together again, everyone has achieved something and tells each other about their hard work, it's a different feeling.
Li Xuewu wished everyone well and wished everyone well. When he picked up the wine glasses and clinked them together, he was very emotional.
The happiest thing in a person's life is to be loved, loved by others, and dare to love others.
Whether they are biological brothers or little brothers, if they can get together, work on a common cause, and have a common goal in life, a glass of wine will not be enough.
Silly Zhu cheered loudly, drank a lot, and refused to accept anyone who came. He drank until the wine was dry, laughed loudly, and was free and easy.
If he goes to someone else's house, he may have to be reserved and take care of his own image.
But here, the only thing you don't have to worry about is your image. If you still stretch your arms in front of your friends, your life will be very boring.
He and Lao Biaozi were about the same amount of drinkers. When they were together in the past, they could drink together.
The eldest grandma and the second master also drink, but they drink slowly, which is better than the taste.
Silly Zhu and Lao Biaozi, on the other hand, are addicted to food. They peck each other, they compete for momentum, and they will definitely fall down after drinking.
The dining table at Li Xuewu's house is very large, and only one end is used for eating on weekdays.
I didn't think about changing to a small table at first, but moving it out was too laborious.
Neither he nor Han Jiankun could lift the large solid wood table.
It was actually used for gatherings at the moment, and there was no crowding at all when a dozen or so people sat at one table.
All the dishes in the house were used, and there were still dishes that were not put in. In the end, they were only served in pots.
Slowly, the table grew up, and everyone was chatting and laughing, drinking and eating, and talking about a year of separation.
Even a person like Li Xuewen who liked peace and quiet held a glass of wine and drank silently with everyone.
Li Xuecai was curious about everything. He was not as calm as his elder brother. He drank like Silly Zhu and the others while holding a wine glass.
The wine at his second brother's house was all good, and he drank it comfortably, but his face turned red and his head felt dizzy without realizing it. Ji Yuxiu, who was sitting on the other side, just stared at him.
The children worshiped their parents and imitated them. Each child held a small cup with soda in it, and imitated the adults in cheering.
The adults' table was lively, and they were more lively than the adults.
Li Shu was very happy today. A brother and an uncle came to her house to play and chattered non-stop.
She was still too young, and she would get into knots in her mouth when she said things were not good and when she said things were fast.
Just listen to what she said. Dong Mengyuan and Zhang Xinmin couldn't understand what she said, and she couldn't understand it either.
Li Shu seemed anxious, holding the wine glass and finally shouted.
"Don't shout, don't shout."
The old Biaozi, who was blushing after drinking, turned around with a smile, took a wine glass and taught Li Shu: "My dear daughter, use a glass for drinking and blowing for conversation. Let's do it together."
"Do it~"
When Li Shu saw someone responding to her, it was even more beautiful. She took her own small cup and drank one with Uncle Biao seriously.
That's not all. After finishing her drink and clinking glasses with Uncle Biao, she walked around from the edge of the sofa and held the wine glass to toast people one by one along the dining table. She had already learned to make circles at a young age.
"Hahaha~"
Li Shun and others couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when they saw their eldest granddaughter's boldness. Grandma Ding Fengxia had to hold her in her arms to prevent her from toasting.
When the toast arrived at Shen Guodong's place, he even picked up Li Shu, called his daughter, and taught her the words to toast word by word, and taught her the rules of drinking.
Liu Yin smiled distressedly and snatched Li Shu away, and even slapped Shen Guodong.
"We have never had a Jiu Mengzi in our family. If I ask you to teach one, I will fight you forever."
"Hahaha!"
Shen Guodong smiled and offered a toast to the staring Li Shu, teasing her: "Grow up quickly and drink with me."
Li Shu was in her grandma's arms, nodding in understanding, her little hand still swinging the empty wine glass and shouting: "Do it!"
"Hahaha!"
------------------
The reunion is always short-lived, and the separation is always hard to say.
The meal lasted for a long time, and everyone was reluctant to leave the table while sitting together with various reluctances.
Lao Biaozi, who came back from Steel City, knew that coming back this time might be the last time to relax before his busy work.
When Xilin handed over to him, she had already talked about what Li Xuewu had told her about his ideas and vision for the work of the Northeast Recycling Station.
Although Li Xuewu didn't tell him clearly this time, the pressure on him became even heavier.
Steel City, Beijing City, and Port City will serve as the three main support points for the trade-related economy of recycling stations in the future.
There is Northeast as the industrial production and sales base, Beijing as the operation and resale base, and Port City as the export and high-profit base.
Multiple places interact and connect, make progress together, and develop together. If any of the three legs develops slowly, it will affect each other.
Even though Li Xuewu repeatedly asked for steady progress, the development speed of the three places is still accelerating.
His return was to meet his brothers in the capital again and to say goodbye to the previous stage of his life.
He is no longer an old brat who hangs out in alleys with no pursuits, but a well-known brat in Steel City, Brother Biao.
Behind the success is sadness, and the trip back was not all satisfactory.
When Mai Qinglan became pregnant, she persuaded him to return to the capital and visit his family.
Not visiting Mai Qinglan’s parents, but his parents.
Lao Biaozi also told her about his family situation and his relationship with his parents.
But Mai Qinglan said, if one day your child asks where your grandparents are, how should you answer?
The few problems this old man encountered after going to Northeast China were very difficult.
Finally, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year and the opportunity to report back to Beijing, he still wanted to go home and have a look.
He didn't take Mai Qinglan with him because he didn't want her to be embarrassed by her parents' troubles.
And when he walked into the door of his former home, what he saw were brothers enjoying each other's knees and parents enjoying a happy family relationship.
I was just a little surprised, a little strange, and even embarrassed by his sudden return.
I didn't ask him how he was outside, nor did he ask how Mai Qinglan was doing. It seemed like a stranger had broken into the house.
The old father was silent, and it took a long time for the mother to ask where she was now.
Lao Biaozi did not answer, but looked at his younger brother, then at his somewhat cautious sister-in-law, put down two hundred yuan, told him to take care of himself, and left the house.
This time he was not disappointed or sad, it seemed like a relief.
I don't even know where he is, let alone his current life.
In other words, the recycling station is located in Nanluogu Lane, and they have never asked about him.
I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know if I’m alive or dead, and I don’t know where I’m going.
Therefore, he has no interest in sharing his success or experience with his parents and family, let alone showing off his life in front of them.
This is not a relief from hatred for me, but a kind of psychological trauma, which is not worth it.
The two hundred yuan was not what he wanted to give, it was what Mai Qinglan insisted that he must keep, no matter whether the situation of returning home this time was good or bad.
She only has one sentence: You can have bad parents, but you cannot have unfilial children.
If being together is a burden and you are tired of each other, then stop seeing each other, but don't complain in your heart.
This complaint punishes yourself and affects your children.
Lao Biaozi knew that Mai Qinglan was more concerned about the health of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and also wanted to provide for them in their old age.
He did not object. People must have family ties after all, otherwise they would become animals.
Perhaps neither the father-in-law nor the mother-in-law had ever received the two hundred yuan from Mai Qinglan, so insisting on giving it to his parents could be regarded as an explanation.
When I mention it to my children in the future, I can only say that I have a clear conscience and face it calmly.
After the meal, everyone found a place to sit and chat to sober up. The young brothers sat on the sofa in the restaurant, listening to the old Biaozi telling all this, and seeing him covering his face and crying, it was very uncomfortable.
Shen Guodong's parents died young, and his grandma lost her home as well. He felt deeply.
The second child is not here. When the second child talks about his parents, he can't even remember what they look like.
Wen San'er, after the death of his parents, he became a lowly wild dog, looking for a living and looked down upon.
Silly Zhu, my mother had died a long time ago, and my father's life is no different from his death. To him, it would be better to have died.
Li Xuewu had a family, and his parents loved and cared for him fully, but he just didn't understand it at the time.
Now I am sitting with my brothers, listening to Lao Biaozi crying in a low voice, and watching Silly Zhu wiping his tears as well.
Maybe men only have reason to show their cowardice or express their grievances after drinking.
Everyone advised each other, but there was only one thing that stood out the most, and that was to look forward.
Life cannot stand still, let alone live in the past and let sad things continue to torture you.
Mai Qinglan heard the commotion and came down from upstairs. She saw Lao Biaozi's eyes were red and silently walked to him and put her arms around his shoulders.
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
If someone else had bullied him, he might want to take revenge and vent his anger.
But for such parents, he could only suppress, endure, and let go.
Especially today, with his brothers reunited and his wife's comfort and relief, it further highlights the grievances he felt in the first half of his life.
In the end, Li Shun and Grandma came to the restaurant. They didn't give any big reasons or persuade him to relax. They just said that the compound is home, and all the children who walked out of the compound could go home.
The eldest grandma also nodded silently. For young people, the recycling bin is a harbor of soul and a place of emotional sustenance. For him, it is not a place that he can call home.
After sobering up, Shen Guodong drove the command vehicle to see people off one by one, while Li Xuewu saw them off again and again.
When bidding farewell to Mai Qinglan and Lao Biaozi, I patted my brother on the shoulder and told him to live a good life and show his life to the world.
Lao Biaozi hugged him, and then was pushed into the car by Shen Guodong. Si Zhu was also sick in the car. He was still crying, but no one knew how to comfort him.
If you tell him about his current situation to comfort him, such as getting married and having children, having a successful career, owning a car and a house, and having both parents "dead"...it seems that you can't live as comfortable a life as he did when he was young.
As for Shen Guodong, this kind of person can cry more and empty out the water in his brain, which will help him regain his health.
Before getting on the bus, Li Xuewu said to Mai Qinglan, be more considerate, understand more, and live a good life. People are strong but their hearts are weak.
Mai Qinglan also knew the meaning of his words and nodded seriously. How could she not be clear about the man she chose?
He chose her to get married in the first place simply because he liked her, and also because she was in a worse situation than Su Qing and needed his help more.
When she came back this time, she knew that Li Wenbiao wanted to see Su Qing, but she was sure that he didn't go.
Maybe because she was pregnant, maybe because she asked him to give all the 200 yuan she had saved to her parents-in-law.
Maybe the couple has forgiven each other, understood, and forgiven the life that the times have given them.
How can there be so many talented men and women in this world who are well-matched, but more often they are just a matter of luck and fate.
No matter how sweet the love is, it will leave a mess of feathers after marriage, and the two will be disgusted with each other, ruining the original beauty.
Meeting such a heartless man on the surface but kind and filial on the inside, she felt that it was a magical fruit compensated by fate for her.
The appearance is wrinkled, ugly and miserable, but the flesh is sweet and mellow, with endless aftertaste.
Li Xuewu said that giving her more care was an entrustment and a promise from his brother, and that he wanted to understand her more was a consolation and a wish.
Lovers will eventually get married. It is a matter of destiny that was decided in the previous life. Don’t miss your marriage.
