Bai Ye's arrival added so much vitality to the village.
Even the bosses of many companies in the province came here to meet Bai Ye.
The government has organized a powerful targeted poverty alleviation work.
We brought rice flour and oil to people’s homes and sent the warmth of the year before.
The Bai family built an ancestral temple in Xishi Village. After all, the Bai family is now extremely prosperous, and some of their descendants are very good.
Currently, due to the special nature of Bai Ye Research Institute, none of Bai Ye's relatives are in Bai Ye Research Institute.
Several older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters are either studying abroad now, or they have already found a job in the plains.
This is not because Bai Ye refused to help, but because the elders of the Bai family actively requested it.
After coming back, Bai Donglin and others exchanged polite greetings with many big shots, then declined and left, making an appointment to go to Pingyuan City for a detailed discussion tomorrow.
And tonight, it's a reunion dinner for the Bai family.
We didn't go out to eat, but the family worked together to prepare a large table of dishes. They were all home-cooked dishes, not delicacies from mountains and seas, but what was put on the table was more like the smell of hometown.
Because there were so many people now, there was no room to sit at one table, so we simply put together three Eight Immortals tables, and finally accommodated the large family of more than 20 people.
Bai Xiangli looked at everyone sitting down, stood up and said, "This year, after a lot of hard work, our family is gathered together again. It's good, I'm happy."
"Now that the family has grown up, you young people have also grown up. You are all running around, which is not easy. Today we are gathered together. Let's not forget about tea and wine. Let's have a drink first to pay tribute to our ancestors of the Bai family."
Bai Xiangli is still the eldest in the family. As the big brother, he is indeed very decent and helps everyone a lot. He manages the whole family well.
The ancestral temple in my hometown was also built by Baixiang Li. In addition to the ancestral temple, there is also an ancestral house, which was also renovated. It is now a five-story building with many rooms. Even one room can be accommodated per person.
The place where everyone is staying today is the ancestral house. It is very well decorated and has complete modern facilities. If you want to build such a house, you can't build it without millions.
Logically speaking, the richest person in the Bai family is Bai Donglin, but Bai Xiangli refused to say hello.
When Bai Donglin wanted to send money to Bai Xiangli, Bai Xiangli scolded him.
"What's wrong? Fourth child? How much money is there? Are you looking down on your boss? Or what?"
Bai Donglin also smiled awkwardly at that time. Lao Bai's parents left early, and Bai Xiangli had been working at the brick kiln construction site since he was a child. He had done all the work, including moving bricks, carrying cement, building walls, and painting walls. He had to help his younger brothers and sisters grow up.
A college student was also offered, namely Bai Zhixin.
So for Bai Xiangli, these younger brothers and sisters basically treat him as half a father.
Originally, the idea of eldest brother being the father was very serious in rural areas, so even though Bai Donglin is rich now, he is still a young man who was born under the stick of Bai Xiangli.
Bai Xiangli is no longer young this year, and is over sixty years old. He found baldness ugly and awkward, so he simply shaved his head. His tall and strong body still scares people who are not familiar with him in the circle.
But it is true. After Bai Xiangli worked hard, he naturally had an aura about him.
Unlike Bai Donglin and Bai Zhixin, he is not bookish.
Otherwise, I would not have grown from a small worker moving bricks into a well-known construction company in Jinnan City today, even if it was inseparable from the help of everyone.
Therefore, Bai Xiangli is still the one who speaks at home.
After a cup of tea and wine, Bai Xiang looked at Bai Ye and his expression softened: "Actually, when I was building the ancestral tomb this year, I found a puff of green smoke. Haha, it is not easy for our Lao Bai family to produce a Bai Ye.
Our family, including me, Zhixin, and you brothers-in-law, cannot be where we are today without Xiao Ye’s overt and covert support."
"Dong Lin, you bastard, don't laugh. Others are nibbling on their father. It's better for you to nibble on your son, and you're still smiling so happily! I get angry just looking at you."
When everyone heard what Bai Xiangli said, they also became happy.
Bai Donglin was laughing from ear to ear, and Hu Caiyun was also laughing without grace.
After laughing, Bai Xiangli continued: "However, we have to be lucky. There are five people in our family, and you are called Uncle Donglin. After serving as a soldier, the coal mine contracting happened to catch up with the coal price boom. Just now
A few days after I went bankrupt, I followed Xiaoye and got a rich man to work for me."
Everyone laughed again.
There are five brothers and sisters in Bai Donglin's generation in the Bai family. When the next generation comes, that is, Bai Ye's generation, every family has two people. There are ten brothers and sisters in this generation. Bai Ye is neither too old nor too young.
in the middle.
"But, no matter what, your uncle Donglin treats us brothers and sisters very well. We have to treat each other equally. We should keep it in our hearts. We can't forget our origins. We are together today. Let's not say goodbye."
Yes, it’s just to have dinner together and have a meal.”
After Bai Xiangli finished speaking, the family started to eat.
There is nothing new about the people at the table. Although we don’t really see each other often, but there is a matter of love. If there is true love, the blood will be the same. No matter how long we have been separated, we will feel warm when we meet.
If you don't kiss, the blood will taste bad, and you won't be happy even though you are working hard.
Bai Ye is already in his thirties, and the second generation of the Bai family is also very old and has reached the stage of career development.
During the banquet, Bai Donglin also looked at everyone and said: "We are all a family. I also openly said that if you need help from me and Xiaoye, don't be polite. If you need to say hello to anyone, don't do it."
Seeing others, just keep in touch in the future. Everything will be fine if the family is harmonious. Our Bai family is not a famous family, but we still need to have some affection."
"No matter what, Xiaoye has some connections now. If you need help when you are away from home, just call him. He can help more or less. If you want to go out, do it this time.
After packing up, we will leave around the seventh day of the new year, and I will go back to the United States directly."
"Zhixin, how is the relationship between your two girls studying abroad? Can I ask Xiaoye to say hello?" Bai Donglin suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask Bai Zhixin.
Bai Zhixin has a son and a daughter, both of whom are a few years younger than Bai Ling. They got married relatively late and their two children took the college entrance examination this year.
But obviously you can’t go to a prestigious school in China.
Bai Zhixin was a little hesitant after hearing this, but his wife hesitated for a moment and said directly: "Let's not beat around the bush. Both children's grades are very average, and they can only get an ordinary undergraduate degree in China. Zhixin and I are thinking about letting the children go out. After all,
My family's income is pretty good now, but there are no good schools in the United States, so uncle, you still have to help me."
The two children also looked at Bai Donglin with a little expectation. They were young and didn't know much about the future, but Bai Zhixin was very strict with his children's education.
Bai Zhixin has always used Bai Ye as a role model to educate his children.
Therefore, the two children have some desire and even yearning for Bai Ye.
Bai Ye thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, what do you want Jingjing and Yue Yue to learn?"
Bai Zhixin has two children, one named Bai Jing and the other named Bai Yue.
Bai Jing said herself: "I want to study music and become a star, but I don't want to go to school..."
One sentence stunned everyone.
Bai Zhixin even had a dark face.
"Cousin, I don't want to study abroad. I just want to stay at home with my parents. I want to sing and be a star. Do you know the director..."
Bai Ye smiled. He had no discrimination against majors. He didn't think that studying medicine was good but studying art was bad.
Bai Ye shook his head: "I don't know the director."
It's true that he doesn't know many directors, but he does know the bosses of some companies, such as Warner, Huayi, etc.
When I went to Hong Kong last time, I got to know too many celebrities and bosses.
But what Bai Ye is worried about is not this, but Bai Jing's age. It will not be of any benefit to her to debut at the age of seventeen or eighteen. At this age, she is still in the fastest learning period.
Although Bai Zhixin has a dark face, he has to admit Bai Jing's musical talent. This is also the reason why her academic performance is not very good. She has many hobbies and spends some time practicing piano every day.
Seeing this, Bai Xiangli hurriedly said: "Well, Zhixin, children should have their own pursuits and hobbies. No matter what age they are, they can't be forced. Besides, Xiaojing works so hard, so we should give the child a chance."
After Bai Ye thought for a moment, he said, "Well, uncle, I know a professor at the Curtis Institute of Music who can give Xiaojing an interview opportunity, but whether she can be admitted or not depends on Xiaojing herself.
"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Jing: "Xiao Jing, I don't know the director, but I know a lot of film and television record company owners. If you go well, you can graduate from the Curtis Institute of Music. I promise, when you graduate
, I can send you records, introduce directors, etc., I can even let your first-line superstars play supporting roles for you, provided that you have this ability, but before that, you must work hard. How about it?"
Bai Ye feels that music is an art and it is not too much to be called the language of God. He is currently cooperating with the Curtis Institute of Music.
Since Bai Ye discovered that music can cure diseases, he has been looking for an opportunity, and the Curtis Institute of Music came to Bai Ye to find a good partner.
The two parties have initially reached a cooperation agreement, but the specific cooperation regulations have not yet been elaborated.
It shouldn't be too much to introduce a student.
However, Bai Ye still hopes that Bai Jing can rely on his strength to get in. After all, the path of music is not that simple.
Others may not know much about the Curtis Institute of Music, but to Bai Jing’s ears, it’s like thunder!
It can be said to be the best music school in the world. It has trained batches of musicians. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the cradle of musicians.
Bai Jing's eyes widened: "Which Curtis College in Philadelphia is my cousin talking about?"
Bai Ye: "Is there a second one?"
Bai Jing suddenly said excitedly: "I will definitely prepare well!"
It is a palace of music, just like Harvard Medical School is a palace of medicine.
Seeing that Bai Jing got the ideal school, Bai Yue fell silent.
Bai Ye couldn't help but ask: "Bai Yue, what do you want?"
Bai Yue shook his head: "I don't know."
Bai Ye smiled, this should be what most people think, right?
I didn't seem to know what I wanted at the beginning.
At this stage of life, there are too few people who really know what they want. The Bai family is not a family of geniuses, and there cannot be so many geniuses.
"But I... like online games and I want to make games."
Bai Yue seemed to muster up his greatest courage and said these words in front of the whole table.
Even Bai Zhixin couldn't imagine that his son, who usually doesn't like to talk, would have such an idea.
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment: "I like it too, maybe we can cooperate."
When Bai Yue heard this: "Okay!"
Bai Ye didn't make too many promises to Bai Yue, but he felt that a person should still have some dreams of his own. Even if he failed, it didn't matter.
After dinner, the children all went to study and have a rest. Most of the men who had married families sat together and started chatting.
Bai Xiangli asked: "What are Xiaoye's plans for coming back this time?"
Bai Ye nodded: "Well, when I come back this time, I want to build my hometown."
Bai Xiangli chuckled and nodded: "That's right, kid, you haven't forgotten your roots."
Bai Ye started laughing.
Bai Ye continued: "I brought back many people to see if there are any better development companies at present, and then continue to develop the coal-to-oil-to-coal-to-gas industry."
"The country has been under construction for so long, but it has not been put into use due to cost reasons. It is a pity to waste this resource. Moreover, coal in the entire Shanxi Province is no longer good, and there is no way out without transformation of resources."
"When I came back this time, I wanted to set up a special group to study this industry, hoping to make some breakthroughs. Of course, I came here with this purpose in mind."
"There's no telling whether it will be successful or not."
Everyone nodded. It was so easy to convert coal to oil. Shanxi has long been different from what it is now. It couldn't be that simple.
Bai Xiangli nodded thoughtfully: "Take it easy, don't fall in."
Bai Ye said kindly: "Uncle, it's time for you to retire. Don't bother yourself at such an old age."
Bai Xiangli smiled: "I have spent my whole life and I can't stop. Just wait. I will retire when your brother Tang wakes up."
Everyone laughed.
Bai Xiangli's son is not young anymore, nearly forty, but he is in the design industry and is now a high-level designer at Xu Jiayin's Evergrande. Bai Xiangli has been counting on his son to come back and inherit the family business.
But things are much better now. After all, he is now a small figure in the industry. Bai Xiangli can only joke around at most.
But Bai Ye never knew that Brother Tang worked at Evergrande. Maybe he could find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Xu about this matter.
After all, Mr. Xu promised to build himself a staff dormitory.
