The midsummer sun is hot and full of vitality, pouring unreservedly on everything it can shine on.☆→☆→, making the lush vegetation appear greener, making the lake water sparkle with golden light, and making the rockery
Zhenshi has a more resolute style that is not afraid of the scorching heat.
But the scorching heat did not dampen the interest of anglers on the lake.
Liu Dong, who was wearing white cotton and linen short-sleeves, trousers, and slippers for home dressing, straightened the straw hat on his head, glanced at the motionless fishing rod in front of him, crossed his legs, and had a look on his face.
laid back.
He has been accustomed to this leisurely pastoral life for so many years!
"Xiaodong, when does your Old Summer Palace Museum open?"
At this moment, Liu Jianqing, who was sitting next to Liu Dong and dressed in the same homely style as him, put down his fishing rod and asked.
"Next Monday! The invitations have been sent out!"
"That's good, this is a big deal, don't be careless!" Liu Jianqing nodded.
"Dad, why are you so concerned about this matter of mine? You never ask me about my work?" Liu Dong asked curiously.
"I don't understand anything about your work, so asking is in vain! However, museums are different. Now the Yuanmingyuan Museum has a great reputation in the world, so we must not screw it up! Otherwise, we will really be sorry for our efforts over the years.
!" Ever since he joined the painting and calligraphy department of the museum at his son's request, Liu Jianqing has been particularly attentive to the construction work of the Old Summer Palace Museum.
"You, a father, are just worrying. After all these years, when did you see Xiaodong acting out of order?" Liu Changqing, who had white hair and beard, straightened the fishing rod in his hand and said.
Although he is over a hundred years old, Liu Changqing's body is still strong with the support of Liu Dong's relic Yuan Guang and the elixir.
"Aren't I worried?"
"You'd better worry less! Wouldn't it be nice to spend more time playing with your grandchild?" Liu Changqing said.
"It's very good, but this bastard has too many seeds, and it won't be enough to break me apart!" Although he said this, there was no bitter look on Liu Jianqing's face.
"Haha, Xiaodong is good at this. Having more children and grandchildren means longevity. Our old Liu family is finally spreading its branches with you this time!" After a pause, the old man turned to look at Liu Dong and said, "Xiaodong
Ah, if you can have hundreds of sons like the ancient sage Wen Wang Jichang, then grandpa will be really happy that our old Liu family has descendants like you!"
"Prince Wen Baizi?"
Liu Dong was stunned, then smiled bitterly, the old man was really treating him like a stallion!
However, Liu Dong does have the qualifications to be a stallion. In the ten years since he entered the realm of Bao Dan, more than a dozen confidantes, including Wang Qiang and Lin Ling, have given birth to more than thirty children for him. On average,
There are three children per person, and the most, Ivanka Trump and Helen Wittgenstein, each gave birth to four. Even the least, Kim Tae Hee and Son Ye Jin, also had two children with him.
"Grandpa, I'll fight for it!" Liu Dong could only say this.
"Grandpa is optimistic about you!" the old man said with a smile.
Liu Dong nodded. The reason why he has so many children is not only because of the large number of confidantes, but also because of the traditional concepts in Liu Dong's mind, which is the so-called concept of having more children, more grandchildren, and more longevity.
Of course, Liu Dong also had another thought in his mind. Just like the ancient emperors, if they have more sons, the chance of an outstanding one among them will be greater. In the future, they can inherit the power of the Liu family and the Hanhua Consortium, and bring the family and business closer.
Good things are passed down.
"You just focus on giving birth to the baby yourself, but you are exhausting your grandma and your mother to death! Every time you give birth, you are always worried for fear of an accident, and after the birth, you have to take care of the baby for you!"
"Look what's wrong with the child? Don't you think your mother and daughter-in-law are willing to do it themselves? I want you to worry!" Before Liu Dong could speak, the old man had already scolded him.
Faced with his father's prestige, Liu Jianqing certainly did not dare to say anything.
In response, Liu Dong smiled and said nothing more.
In fact, there are not many things that mothers and grandmothers really need to worry about. The Liu family is rich and powerful, and they have enough servants to look after their children. But the only thing that gives Liu Dong a headache is that he has really cultivated a lot of strong female beauties over the years.
Confidants. Forget about Wang Qiang, Lin Ling, and Ivanka, they are already elites in the workplace.
Who would have thought that after Meixue took over the leadership of the Manchester United Football Club and the New York Knicks Basketball Team, she actually developed a strong interest in sports. Recently, she was planning to acquire a well-known American Football League player from the Glazer family, which was in financial crisis.
Team 'Tampa Bay Buccaneers'! For this reason, he flew to the United States without even having time to take care of his newly born third child.
If it was understandable that Mei Xue, who originally studied business administration, was interested in business, then Yan Qingqing, who studied oil painting, was even more surprising to Liu Dong.
After gradually becoming the CEO of Puhua Red Star Auction House, he used the wealthy financial support of Hanhua Group and the money from listing financing to acquire the famous French auction house Phillips and the British auction house Bonhams in one fell swoop, surpassing Dawei Deji
Auction, becoming the third largest auction house in the world after Christie's and Sotheby's!
With outstanding business talent, Yan Qingqing became one of the top 20 most powerful women in Forbes' final list of 2015!
Others like Jiang Tingting entered the political arena and were very busy all day long. Ivanka Trump is in charge of Matrix Media. Helen Wittgenstein is in Hanhua Telecom, and Neha Dalvi founded Harvey Energy with the support of Liu Dong.
Already one of the top three electricity suppliers in India.
Perhaps due to the influence of people like Liu Dong, Xia Yunshang, who was already preparing to support her husband and raise her children, also returned to the world and took over the leadership of Chenxiang Pavilion and Taiyi Pavilion.
The only ones who are close may be Son Ye-jin and Kim Tae-hee. Although Yebao Entertainment has developed well in South Korea, in comparison, it is still just a small effort!
As soon as the thought came to an end, Liu Dong's heart moved and a smile appeared on his face, "Come out, don't hide!"
"Xiaodong, who are you talking about?" Liu Jianqing asked curiously.
"Of course she is your precious granddaughter!" After a pause, Liu Dong said loudly, "Yaya!"
As Liu Dong finished speaking, he saw a man with a ponytail and a round face and big eyes peeking out from the hanging flower gate not far from where the three of their fathers were fishing. He was wearing a white embroidered sweater on the upper body and a light gray lower body.
A beautiful girl in a purple knee-length skirt.
After Xingyan glanced at the three of them, the little girl walked out from behind the hidden door with some reluctance.
"Damn dad!"
The teenage girl glanced at Liu Dong's back, muttered dissatisfiedly, and then walked towards the three of them.
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
The crisp sound echoed over the garden with beautiful scenery and full of Jiangnan garden style, adding a bit of worldly warmth.
"Haha, it's my great-great-granddaughter here. Come here quickly and sit next to your great-grandfather!" Liu Changqing waved to the little girl with a kind face.
"Um!"
The little girl nodded and quickly walked over, obediently sitting on the free pony next to Liu Changqing.
"Yaya, why didn't you go to school today?"
As a father, Liu Dong naturally does not want to pamper his daughter as he did when he was a child, and he still has to take care of what should be taken care of.
"Idiot dad, today is Saturday, school is on holiday!"
"I almost forgot, now the school has double classes every week!" Liu Dong shook his head.
"Yes, it's much easier for children now to go to school than it was back then!" Liu Jianqing, who has been a teacher all his life, said with a smile.
"Are times always changing? When I participated in the revolution, I was still studying in a private school!"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
"Haha, you will understand when you are older!" Liu Changqing said with a smile after reaching out and touching his great-granddaughter's little head.
Although Liu Dong gave him a lot of great-grandchildren, as his first great-granddaughter, Yaya definitely received the most love.
After nodding toward her great-grandfather, the little girl seemed to remember something and hurriedly said to Liu Dong: "Dad, grandma asked you to go to the front yard and living room. Someone is looking for you there!"
"Someone is looking for me? Who?"
"Grandma didn't say anything!"
"Okay, since someone is looking for you, go over there! Don't let your mother come looking for you again!" Liu Jianqing said.
"I know, Dad! I'll be there right away!"
After agreeing, Liu Dong stood up. But before he could pack up his fishing gear, his precious daughter had already taken the lead and sat on his seat, "I want to fish too!"
"You also want to fish? Okay, then you can go fishing!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Ah, Dad, why is your fishhook straight?" Yaya had just brought Liu Dong's fishing rod up and was about to change the bait again, when she thought that the fishhook was actually straight!
"Haha, daddy will call it 'Jiang Taigong fishes for those who wish to take the bait'!"
Compared with real fishing, the fun of 'fishing' itself is what Liu Dong enjoys the most. In fact, not only him, but also Liu Changqing and Liu Jianqing next to him have straight fishhook!
After patting his daughter's little head, Liu Dong said, "Listen to your great-grandfather and grandpa here and don't run around, you know?"
"knew!"
"Grandpa, Dad, I'll go over first!"
"Well! Go, go!" After the old man waved his hand, Liu Dong simply packed up his clothes and walked towards the front yard.
This manor villa located in Changping District, Beijing, was built by Liu Dong after slight modifications to the Wohu Mountain Villa in Quancheng. Compared with the villa in Wohu Mountain, this one is full of Jiangnan garden style, mixed with some northern styles.
The manor has a grand architectural style, covers a larger area, and is more ingenious.
Five years after the completion of the manor villa named "Taoyuan Villa" by Liu Dong, it quickly became the base camp of Liu Dong's family.
In addition to Liu Jianqing and Liu Dong's family, the old man Liu Changqing also moved here from Yuquan Mountain. With more people, this large manor will not be too unpopular. (To be continued.)
