Chapter 5: Dinner at the Lou family, night talk in the study
Time passed slowly as several people chatted happily. As they understood the actual situation, the Lou family, especially Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e, became more and more admired and pitied Duan Hongxuan. They could not help but feel maternal love overflowing, insisting that he should often do it in the future.
Come to the house for dinner. Duan Hongxuan refused repeatedly, so he had to promise to come as soon as possible when he was free, and then he was reluctantly let go!
When I learned that Duan Hongxuan had graduated from high school at the age of 15 this year, I was surprised and admired! I deeply regretted that I was not lucky enough to get to know Duan's father and Duan's mother earlier. I lamented that I don't know what kind of outstanding people can cultivate such outstanding children.
!
Duan Hongxuan's conversation and knowledge also opened everyone's eyes. Father Lou secretly decided that he must make good friends with Duan Hongxuan in the future. He will definitely be the best among people in the future. He couldn't help but think more highly of Duan Hongxuan in his tone. He would no longer treat Duan Hongxuan as a junior.
Treat it! This is exactly the effect Duan Hongxuan wants. Otherwise, how can an underage kid have the right to speak in the face of a heroic figure, and others will not take it seriously at all!
Father Lou was engaged in business in the cannibalistic era of the old society before liberation, and he made his name in half the city of Lou. He definitely had no shortage of scheming means, and even ruthless means. Otherwise, he would have been eaten up by others in those days.
Erased! This kind of heroic figure has absolute confidence in himself, it is difficult to listen to what others say, he only believes in himself!
Duan Hongxuan wants to change this situation of Lou's father, so that he will value himself step by step and even finally obey his words! This will not only save himself and his family, but also play a key role in Duan Hongxuan's future development plan!
In this way, with one party's deliberate guidance and one party's intention to make good friends, everyone's conversation was at a fever pitch. Unknowingly, it was dinner time, and the servant came to report that dinner was ready!
Everyone moves to the restaurant and prepares to eat.
The Lou family is worthy of being a big capitalist. Although everyone is in difficulty now, the food on the table still seems a bit luxurious. You must know that this is a difficult period for the country, which makes it even more luxurious!
"Uncle, this is too rich!" Duan Hongxuan deliberately expressed surprise in his expression and tone!
"Haha, it's nothing to get to know such an outstanding person as my little friend today. I'm afraid that your little friend will feel shabby!" Father Lou said with a hint of pride.
"No, this richness is unimaginable! Although my father's friend is in a high position, he only eats whole grains for three meals a day. Just to replenish my body, it is only a little bit meaty and hard to get.
Eggs! Just explain to others that it is a luxury to replenish the health of your friends, the orphans of martyrs who have died, for fear of what others will think!
My uncle told me that even the Supreme Being is diligent and frugal, trying to save as much as possible for the country. The country is in a very difficult situation now, and extravagance and waste is a crime! Haha, I didn’t expect that my uncle’s family banquet was so sumptuous, I was flattered!
"Duan Hongxuan deliberately said something.
Father Lou was proud at first, but soon he realized something was wrong. His heart skipped a beat and he looked at Duan Hongxuan. When Duan Hongxuan also cast a meaningful look, Father Lou became more and more convinced that there was something in Duan Hongxuan's words!
Everyone started to eat, but Duan Hongxuan excused himself because he was still young and had just recovered, so he didn’t drink any alcohol!
"Uncle, I see there is a car in your yard. Sitting outside will definitely attract everyone's attention. Everyone is envious of it. Uncle is really wealthy.
My father's good friend, oh, the senior official who I now call uncle, always travels by bicycle. Although there are cars provided by the state, my uncle still insists on using bicycles to travel as much as possible, saying that he is trying to save fuel for the country. I do all the housework such as washing and cleaning by myself. My uncle travels in a small car and has a helper at home. My uncle is simply incomparable! They know how to fight and dance with guns and cannons. How are they like my uncle?
You can make money this way!
However, political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and it is precisely because of the sacrifice and dedication of their generation that the new Yanhuang political power has emerged!"
The more Father Lou listened, the more displeased he became. He wanted to finish eating quickly so that he could drag Duan Hongxuan to the study! The dinner ended with Father Lou restless and indifferent, and the others in high spirits!
Everyone left the dining table and returned to the living room. Aunt Liu served tea and after a few sips, Lou's father invited Duan Hongxuan to the study. Now Lou Xiao'e quit, "Dad, I haven't had a good talk with brother Xiaoxuan yet!"
”
"Ezi, be good. Dad has something important to discuss with Hongxuan. You will have plenty of time later. We have a long time to come!"
Lou Xiao'e was not an unreasonable and delicate young lady. She reluctantly ran to Lou's mother and put her arms around Lou's mother to seek comfort. Duan Hongxuan apologized to Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e, and then walked in step with Lou's father.
Enter the study!
Aunt Liu came in again to serve tea, then exited the study and closed the door.
The two people in the study were drinking tea and chatting wordlessly. Lou's father was not in a hurry to get to the point, and Duan Hongxuan was not in a hurry either. It was up to him who could hold back first! In the end, Lou's father surrendered and gave up.<
/p>
"I really admire your efforts in cultivating Qi, little friend Hongxuan! I have some questions here. I wonder if you can clarify them?"
"Uncle, just ask if you have any questions, but I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
"My little friend, if you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Lou."
"If you dare to disdain me, then I will go up to you, Uncle Lou! Uncle Lou, just call me Hongxuan or Xiaoxuan!"
"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaoxuan! Xiaoxuan, when we were eating just now, you seemed to have something to say, I wonder...?"
"Uncle Lou, even though we met for the first time, I had some superficial and rude words. But my aunt and sister Xiao'e saved my life! My master and father taught me again and again before they were alive that you don't need to repay kindness, but you don't need to repay kindness.
A person's kindness should be repaid with a spring of water! I still remember it in my heart! So for the sake of Auntie and Sister Xiao'e, I have to take the liberty. Please forgive Uncle Lou for any offensive words!"
"Xiaoxuan, don't be polite, just say what you have to say. I'm here to ask you for advice today, so why not blame it? It's not too late for me to thank you!"
"Uncle Lou, let me tell you the truth! Please forgive me for any inappropriateness! I heard from Sister Xiao'e that Uncle Lou is a patriotic capitalist!"
"Yes, when the Japanese invaded my homeland, even though the Eighth Route Army was short of food, clothing, and weapons and ammunition, they still fought bravely to kill the enemy and did not harm ordinary people. Sometimes they would rather go hungry than We must help the people as much as possible! In order to protect the people from the murderous hands and cover the evacuation of the people, we will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives!
I came from the warlord era, and also experienced the Republic of China government. Since ancient times, soldiers have been as good as bandits, and even worse than bandits. How have I ever seen an army like this!
I admire this kind of army from the bottom of my heart, so I use my connections and connections to give them some help, that is, secretly buying some weapons and ammunition, food and cloth, and occasionally some medicine, and sending them to them! I do These are nothing compared to their sacrifices!
In that chaotic era, it was not easy to live, not to mention that I had to do business! If I didn’t have some means, my family would have been ruined long ago!
Uncle Lou won't hide it from you. Sometimes, Uncle Lou will be ruthless. But firstly, this is the method everyone adopted in that era. It depends on who is more ruthless. Secondly, Uncle Lou still has some bottom lines and never takes the initiative to do so. When dealing with others, unless the other party wants to take action against me, then I have to be more ruthless than him. The first is to protect myself, and the second is to shock. These are the ways to survive in that era!
But everyone has a conscience. Uncle Lou couldn’t help but feel moved when he saw such an army! So he did what he could to help them!
After the establishment of the new political power, Uncle Lou was also happy! Later, when the public-private partnership was established, Uncle Lou and I took the initiative to hand over most of the shares of the steel rolling mill and the management rights of the factory, and became a small shareholder who did nothing. The annual dividends were also You can put down your burdens, relax and live a leisurely life! It can also be considered as making your own contribution to this new country!
The country also remembered my contribution, so it gave me the title of patriotic capitalist, which is really unworthy of me!" Father Lou said with a hint of pride, and glanced at Duan Hongxuan!
