Wei Zhuo wanted to talk to his wife Liu about Jipo's family affairs early in the morning, and a family affair that had been scheduled before was in Huangmaoling, and Jipo was sent as a gift every year during the New Year's holidays to show the good relationship between the two families. However, due to business matters, he has been entrusted again and again, and Jipo still has not completed his marriage. Wei Zhuo made up his mind that he couldn't delay Jipo's marriage this year no matter what, and saved some money to handle Jipo's marriage. was thinking about it in his heart, but he saw his wife Liu coming, so he told his wife Liu what he was thinking. His wife Liu heard Wei Zhuo's words, and said: "If you don't mention this matter, I will keep it in mind, but now I am a little short of money, and I am short of money to use turnover, and it is not good to go out to borrow a foreign debt to complete the marriage for Jipo, so I have to wait until the second half of the year when the situation of the paper mill improves and the business gradually improves, and there is money to do things." Wei Zhuo listened to the words of his wife Liu, and it was very appropriate. So he said: "There is really no way to wait for this matter to be solved in the second half of the year, according to what you said, no matter how difficult it is, you have to take this matter to heart, and worry about it day and night!" Wei Zhuo listened to the words of his wife Liu, and the two fell into deep contemplation, and said: "The dilemma is also for the sake of the descendants of the Zhou family, there is no other way." ”

Even though his son's marriage was imminent, Wei Zhuo did not stop buying the bamboo forest mountain land. Zhou Xian could see the opportunity, and saw that the liberation of the country was imminent, so he sold the mountains and forests significantly, and Zhou Weizhuo was a good buyer. Seeing that it was so cheap, Wei Zhuo was also dizzy for a while, and did not take into account the possibility of changing the political system to turn all private property into public ownership. Due to the fact that some landlords who knew the general direction changed careers and left, the yellow paper industry became smaller and more competitors for a while, so business was much better. Due to the general trend, it was not that Wei Zhuo would run the business, nor was it that Wei Zhuo was extraordinary, and the business at this time suddenly became like a fish in water and improved. In addition, Wei Zhuo is hardworking, and has a sweet mouth, and he is eloquent. At this time, Weizhuo was very popular in the industry. Four or five paper mills under his command have successively produced and processed, and more than a dozen people operate sales. Operate yellow paper everywhere, and send it to stone troughs, flood ping, Longyan and other places. It has strengthened the circulation of commodities and promoted economic development.

Wei Zhuo has traveled all over the year round, seen the local customs, and is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people. I remember the time I went to Longyan, when I went, the wind was beautiful, the ground was dry, and when I arrived, it rained lightly, Wei Zhuo was worried, the paper was wet, it would be a big deal, not to mention that it was not easy to sell, and it had to fold a lot of capital. Fortunately, it was not long before I arrived at the owner's residence. The owner who sold yellow paper was not at home, this owner was the dealer that Wei Zhuo had negotiated earlier, and the business was big, with several shops, dealing in various goods, and he was a big owner, and Wei Zhuo valued his character and his strong strength. During the negotiation with him, the two agreed to agree, and the conversation was very speculative, so Wei Zhuo decided to put the yellow paper here for distribution. It was Weidros who thought about it before deciding. In order to be cautious, I paid a part of the deposit first, and the owner also agreed. Wezo, of course, is glad that the matter has been negotiated and has great hopes for the sale of yellow paper. At this time, Wei Zhuo's physical condition was much better, and he often talked about business everywhere, but he was old enough to work hard. The original thought of helping Jipo marry a family member was also delayed. Due to his busy schedule, he had to wait until the second half of the year to manage it.

The rain kept falling, and Wei Zhuo had to arrange for the men to hide from the rain under the eaves of other people's houses, and the stomachs were hungry, and the men were overworked, freezing and starving. At this time, the owner has not returned, and he has to find a place to eat and rest, he can bear it, the guys are already wet, and they can't delay any longer. I had to find another merchant to find a way, Wei Zhuo was always cautious, asked the owner to ask the west, asked and asked, suffered a white face, got is a refusal, and finally found one, agreed to Wei Zhuo to rest and dust, bargained for a long time, and finally said the price, he went to the market to buy noodles and came back, everyone had a full meal, just about to finish, the owner came back. Wei Zhuo was displeased, but he couldn't show his face, so he said politely: "The owner has come back at the right time, waiting for your arrival." The proprietor nodded and smiled, "I just went out for something, but I didn't expect you to come so early." I've kept you waiting. Then he asked, "How much yellow paper do you bring?" Wei Zhuo pointed to the pile of yellow paper and said, "A total of fifteen quintals of yellow paper, which is exactly the amount agreed with you in advance." The proprietor smiled and said, "How much does it cost now?" Wei Zhuoshen pointed out four fingers and said, "Four dollars a load." The owner paused, and Zhengse said: "The price has risen so fast." Wei Zhuo shook his head and said, "No way, it's a bit far, and the cost is really so much." The proprietor was speechless, just nodded. The two talked for a long time, and then settled the price of fifteen quintals of paper, and the owner paid the deposit, wrote an IOU, and set a time limit for payment. With the deposit, Welter immediately gave the porter the money for the foot. At this time, everyone is about to rush back, do not want a downpour from the sky, see that the sky is going to get dark, go back or stay to stay, can not make up their minds for a while, the owner does not have so many bunks, and tomorrow there is tomorrow's thing, I have to rush back overnight, tired of a day is really uncomfortable, just where to spend a night, dozens of miles, but also to rush back, the road after the heavy rain is muddy everywhere, I have to go back with a deep foot and a shallow foot, all the way without words, when I arrived home it was the middle of the night. During the entrepreneurial period, such things were commonplace and not unusual.

Because the family has the ability of his wife Liu to make money and keep money, the family's fortune has improved, and the family has made money. The children follow the left and right, the warmth in the home is not yet there, the wife Liu has a violent personality, the small one opens his mouth and scolds, and the tongs guy throws it over. The children tasted the temper of their mother, Liu. They run around the business all year round, just looking at customers and customers. I don't care about the warmth and coldness of the family. The hard work of the past few years has not been in vain, and I see that the number of industries is successful, and the harvest is looking forward to it. Although he has saved up in the past few years, he has bought mountains and forests and bamboo land, and his subordinates have no money left over to spend their daily life. Just as Wezzo was still starting a business, a catastrophe hurt Wezzo's lifeline, so that Wezzo never had a chance to turn over, and the old Wezo was even more lonely and helpless. All efforts were in vain, which Wei Zhuo never expected. A sigh is worth a thousand words, and the past passes in an unbearable retrospective. Only through experience can we know the pain and hardship of life.

Speaking of: Early this morning, I heard the news that the Japanese devils had entered Xiaonanshan, and everyone fled into the deep ravine. Wei Zhuo's heart trembled, he had never been in danger of panic and war, and he didn't know how to know the danger of soldiers approaching the city. Seeing that Xian Neng Zishi fled in the direction of the provincial capital, he didn't care about his family property, rolled up the silver round and fled, and fled in a hurry. Wei Zhuo's family wealth is less than one-tenth of the first ability, the provincial city has no relatives, and there is no hope everywhere, so he has to quickly pack up his clothes and the like, lock the doors and windows, destroy his wife Liu, and lead his children to intervene and hope for grace to leave. Avoiding the protection of the family, the family on the top of the mountain did not dare to stay, the elders of the clan led everyone to hide under the rocky cliffs in the mountain, and the hungry lived with bamboo shoots, boiled in water, hungry and greedy, foraged for grass and wild vegetables, and the bark of the tree was fresh to relieve the stomach, and did not dare to squeak for more than ten days, and was fortunate to escape this catastrophe. At this time, I heard the wind a little, saw people moving, and the atmosphere of martial law gradually relaxed, and everyone dared to poke their heads out. Seeing that the rumors had passed, his wife Liu hurriedly ordered Wei Zhuo to go down to the river to find out. Wei Zhuo dared to go out of the mountain alone, so he had to wander around the mountain road and find a companion to accompany him, this wild and wild mountain, deserted and uninhabited, and terrifyingly quiet, and suddenly thinking about the habits of the soldiers and bandits, Wei Zhuo thought about it for a while: Is the yellow paper in the first warehouse still there? Are the shops along the road still safe and sound? The paper mill in the deep ravine should be fine! Everything will not change in a few days? My heart has been rumbling, and I can't make up my mind. I wanted to walk towards the river, but I was afraid in my heart and didn't dare to move forward, so I had to walk back and forth on the road.

At this moment, someone came over and shouted, and Wei Zhuo's three souls and seven spirits dispersed, and his feet softened. Seeing that it was the youngest son, he came back to his senses and said, "I'm scared, it's you kid, you kid, you also ran so fast, and you followed." "It turned out that the wife Liu was not at ease, and specially sent the youngest son to accompany him down the mountain, this little son called the name: Ji Po, in his early twenties, looks like Wei Zhuo and his inner mind is like Liu Zheng'e, loyal and reliable, bold and stubborn, when running a business, especially when Baoqing transports medicinal materials, he relies on the power of this son, Wei Zhuo often takes him with him, there is a business voice beside him, there is a plan for everything, he can listen to the idea, Ji Po is still young, but he often plans for his father, and he leads the battle first. Because he is young and ignorant, Wei Zhuo is sometimes uneasy, and often repents not to be careless, and to act cautiously in everything, and must be restrained. Only Nai Jipo's personality is naturally like this, and he will be burned in a hurry and drive at will. Although he has many performances and is deeply loved by Wei Zhuo, he has a violent personality, straight-hearted, unable to tolerate things, easy to be teased by others, and has a heart of hatred and hatred. However, the listener has the intention, and the speaker has no intention. often offends others, and is not good at making friendships, and does not want to cling to the powerful. Although the relatives around him have good friends, they don't understand their thoughts, and they just blindly do their best, but they are thankless, aiming to help useless things. They are often looked down upon.

Wei Zhuo saw that his youngest son was coming, and his heart had returned, and he inquired along the road, and heard that the news was reliable, and the Japanese devils were indeed far away, so Wei Zhuo was half-convinced, and Jipo, and went down the river along the path, and gradually felt that there were more people, so he dared to stride forward, and he could see from afar that the smoke on both sides of the river was not exhausted, and the houses along the road were burned down, and the ruins were ruined. Wei Zhuo was in a panic and uneasy, his heart beat like thunder, and he did not intend to operate for half a year, but he had been burned, and all the entrepreneurship of his life disappeared in an instant, until the streets on both sides of the sixth room had turned into ashes, full of vicissitudes, and Wei Zhuo turned to his own warehouse, leaving only the top of the unburned wooden pillars and a pile of tiles. Every family stands in front of their own doors, wanting to cry without tears, natural and man-made disasters are inevitable. Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, and they were worried that all the opportunities would go down the drain. Wei Zhuo wanted to clean up the mess and do it again, the mountain and forestry industry is still there, the paper mill has not been moved, there are many people under him, and there is still a chance to start a business. The starting capital is still there, and the outside accounts have not been recovered. A series of things are in front of him, and the old hearts of the Weizhuo people are also old. Everything had to start from scratch, and Wei Zhuo had lost half of his family property, and for a moment his feet were like cotton, his mind was black, and he didn't know what to do.

However, the situation has quietly undergone great changes, the Japanese devil Yangxi collapsed in the first war, the Republic of China came, after the civil war, and then the founding of New China, everything was renewed, and it was rebuilt at the beginning. Superstition is shattered, and yellow paper is shaped like waste paper. The first who has seen the world can not intend to stay in the old house in the six rooms to operate, and the generation of business is still so, as the saying goes: "The dragon wants to leave the beach, and the tiger wants to leave the mountain." "Leaving the shallow water, it is the dragon that returns to the sea in order to function. First can be far-sighted and business-minded. Let go when it's time to let go, and the change in policy is that everything has to start from scratch. Yes, "a generation of emperors, a courtier" everything is changing, people's hearts are also changing, and when a new era comes, new things will be produced. First of all, you can leave your hometown and go away from home. What happened later was expected, and it proved right to go away to the city first.

Wei Zhuo only knows how to make money, but he doesn't know the changes in the situation, fate touches the lifeblood nerve of Xiaonan Mountain Valley, the government directly takes over the locality, strengthens local control, and reorganizes the old appearance of mountains and rivers. Wezo never had a chance to turn over again in his life. The caftans and satin waistcoats are out of reach. Things were worse than Veldra had thought. As soon as the foreign debt was unresolved and could not be recovered for a long time, a conspiracy was approaching, and the landlords and squires who knew the situation of the situation resold their property at a low price and fled to the distant city without interest. All the sins are pointed at Vidzo, who waits for Vidra to be brought to justice. There is no reason to plead, and there is no strength or courage to plead. The few remaining belongings of the thrift were taken one by one during the torture. All the bamboo forest mountain land was confiscated. The family members were not spared, and they were implicated, and there was a series of struggles. Liu was like a tigress at the beginning, but he knew that the wall fell down and everyone pushed him, and he went through several hardships and humiliations. But he had to lower his arrogant head, and he had nowhere to redress his grievances for a while, so he was driven by it. Wei Zhuo had no hope and all thoughts were lost. I just want to die, but fate doesn't arrange it like this.

Wei Zhuo no longer had the money to pay the wages, so he had to send the yellow paper to the workers as a work line, Wei Zhuo said calmly: "Guys, hello everyone, because my foreign debts have not been recovered, please forgive me, there is no way, I have to take the yellow paper of the paper factory to offset the wages, everyone see how to do it, send it to everyone at a low price, and agree to go to the paper factory." "Some of the workers happily went to the paper mill to carry paper, and a small number of people still stood there. Usually the workers are very obedient, but today the workers say loudly: "We need money to support our families." Wei Zhuo suddenly burst into tears, there was nothing to say, he didn't expect the workers to hurt his heart, and at the same time Wei Zhuo also hurt the hearts of the workers, yes, people's hearts are flesh and blood, which doesn't need money, this matter is not over, at this time Wei Zhuo has become a landlord and confiscated all the family property. In this way, Weizhuo lives a life of ideological transformation every day. There's really no room for manoeuvre.

At that time, Wei Zhuo only thought about things, but he didn't expect that the workers didn't want paper, they wanted money, and the workers pointed their heads at Wei Zhuo. deepened Vidro's sins, and one thing was not finished, and one thing was started again. Vedra hadn't recovered his senses yet to catch his breath. The workers brought down the papers, and the original reason was to deduct the workers' wages. It's not over yet. What I didn't expect was that the rest of the paper mill owners attacked Wei Zhuo together, wanting to bring down Wei Zhuo and eradicate Wei Zhuo, these things deepened Wei Zhuo's crimes, and the paper mill owners in order to alleviate their own sins, avoided the government's attention, and pushed Wei Zhuo to the edge of the wind and fire, Wei Zhuo never expected this day. I have been cautious all my life, and I have never offended anyone, but I didn't expect to suffer this disaster when I was old, I was really wronged. Wei Zhuo also wanted to report them in turn, but he was already powerless.

Wei Zhuo was hopeless in his old age, and everything happened suddenly, and as a result, he couldn't afford to get sick. Wei Zhuo fell, and his wife Liu supported the family, but fortunately, the children were all grown up and were good laborers, so none of them had idle meals, but in this era of big pot rice, they still couldn't get enough to eat.

His wife, Liu, takes care of the family at home all the year round, helping to live three meals a day, and the rest of the children go to work in the mountains, braving the scorching sun, cold and heat, and living an extremely difficult life.

Jipo is just young, and he has to shoulder all the heavy work and tiring work. The young man in his twenties originally had a yearning for a better life, but the successive changes made his energetic personality cold for a while. Originally, a marriage was planned, but the woman's family saw the direction of the wind and saw that the Jipo family had been divided into landlords, so she couldn't wait to withdraw from the marriage. At that time, Jipo was shocked, and he was a little unwilling to watch his intended person leave his hands forcefully. Seeing that this is the case, I am afraid that there may be no hope of marrying in this life. At night, Jipo lies in bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling. The heavy labor during the day could not force Jipo to fall asleep early. When people grow up, their responsibilities are heavy. Now the family situation is very poor, if we talk about family affairs, where will we get the money for the engagement bride price? It seems that I have to spend my life alone, and there is no hope of marrying a relative.

Just when all thoughts were extinguished, Li Jiaping's eldest sister came back to visit relatives. Ji Po was so happy that he looked back and said that his marriage had not yet been settled. The eldest sister looks at her younger brother in his twenties, and if he doesn't have a family affair, he is likely to be single for the rest of his life. The eldest sister is a homesick person, and she loves this younger brother very much. The kind words calmed Jipo's heart and taught him to do things well at home, and he will definitely be able to help Jipo find a family business. Jipo listened to the eldest sister's words and immediately settled down. In fact, the eldest sister Ruiyun had already helped Jipo plan to find out where there was a suitable girl. It's a pity that there are too many family locks and I can't get out, so it's delayed until today. On this day, Ruiyun heard that there was a good girl in the Jingquanya Wanke family, but there were too many matchmakers. It sounds like the threshold of Wanke's house has been stepped on. Those who come to seek matchmaking, in terms of family situation and character, are one out of ten. Wanke was kind enough to confess and did not agree. Although there is no hope, it is better to always say it than to stay at home quietly, and because for a while, the matchmaker does not know what kind of medicine Wanke gourd sells. That's all there are in the world, no matter how good your daughter looks, you have to get married! Therefore, Ruiyun also went out to inquire again, which is better than indifferent.

It's strange for Wanke to find a son-in-law, he doesn't want to be a family, he just chooses that person's moral character. As long as you have good natural ability and are born in Peugeot, you can be born after being loyal and good. As soon as Wan Ke entered the door and saw a room full of women who were matchmakers, they all came with their eyes open, what kind of matchmaker would they be? Seeing that the eldest daughter Tingyu had passed a year after a year, she had not yet waited for the suitable Langjun who was wishful, and she was secretly anxious in her heart. This has a good nature, and it is difficult to pick one in a hundred miles, where to find it! Where is the son-in-law that Wanke is waiting for?

Wanke waited and waited, and finally had an eyebrow. It was raining heavily on this day, and Wan Ke and his eldest daughter were playing straw sandals at home. I saw a woman coming with an umbrella, and when I got closer, I saw that it was Ruiyun from Lijiaping. Wan Ke put down the work in his hand and was about to get up to get wine, when Ruiyun put down the umbrella and said, "Don't be too polite, I should come empty-handed, and I feel embarrassed." I want you to bring wine to entertain you, it's really gratifying. Tingyu just played straw shoes on the side, just nodded to Ruiyun with a smile and said hello. Dividing the guests and hosts, Ruiyun started and said: "I don't know how old your eldest daughter is this year, I want to marry your family this time, I don't know what to do." Wan Ke smiled and said, "I don't know which young master it is, how to call it?" Ruiyun said seriously: "It's my brother-in-law, who is twenty years old, and originally sold meat and made paper at home for a living. Now that the government has confiscated the family property, if it were not for this, the family would be no worse than ordinary people. Wan Ke lowered his head and didn't say anything, just said: "I, Wan Ke, don't look at the family situation first, we have to look at the people first! We only look at the people, not the family situation, as long as there are people, the family is very easy to do well." Ruiyun listened, and his heart relaxed for a while.

At that time, Wanke was the captain of a large team, and his family was quite a bit of cereals and grains, and he was not worried about food and clothing, but he could find a family affair, but it made Wanke so difficult, and he saw that he was disappointed one by one, and he saw that his daughter had grown up, and he had not yet seen a good home, and he was in a hurry. Today, Li Jiaping Ruiyun came, his heart was slightly wider, and he was immediately overjoyed, but he was not noticed for a while, so he instructed Ruiyun to choose a day and call his future son-in-law to come to the house to sit and talk, and also expressed Wanke's wish for a long-term blind date, I don't know if it can be matched, it depends on the will of God, Wanke just said Ruiyun listened, and did not make a sound, only asked: "How many children does Wei Zhuoke, who sells meat and paper in the sixth room by the river, do you want to propose, which young offspring is the one who proposes." Ruiyun replied truthfully and said: "Wei Zhuoke, who sells meat and paper in the sixth room by the river, has two sons and three daughters, and the eldest son is still studying in the school, but this younger son has not yet married a family, and when the family affairs are good, he has ordered a family business, and the relative saw that my family was gone, so he immediately withdrew from this family business, so he has not yet decided on a family business. When Wan Ke heard this, his face sank, and he said: "Your little brother only delayed a good family business because of the middle of the family, you see what my family wants, it can be said that the wind and rain are going to be rainy, and your little brother may not be able to count on it, how can such a family be worthy of my daughter." Ruiyun was happy at the beginning, but now Wanke has answered like this, teaching Ruiyun how to feel at ease. just said: "But with Captain Wanke's glance, he can see how he looks in the future, and then make plans, and there is no reason to complain if he doesn't agree." When Wan Ke heard Ruiyun's words, he also agreed rudely and said: "What about taking a look? You see that our Jingquan Cliff is full of barns every year, why worry about the disasters and famines in your six rooms by the river, how can we have food and clothing here without worry." When Ruiyun heard this, he only felt tears welling up, and he was secretly sad, and said: "Why worry that our little brother Jipo doesn't have a good life, and he can't get a good family." "Just when Ruiyun was hopeless. In the end, I only heard Wanke say: "I only promise you to take a look at it before talking about other things, if there is fate, maybe there will be a good story of marriage." Ruiyun repeatedly mentioned when we could see each other, and Wanke replied: "You can choose a good time to come, when will my family have a meal for you." Ruiyun looked forward to a glimmer of life, so he also turned around and went away happily.
