There is a lack of entertainment in the countryside, and the most joyful atmosphere during the New Year is often at the dinner table.

The night outside the half-hidden gate was hazy, and the village finally calmed down after half an afternoon of hustle and bustle when Li Laoqi went home, but the liveliness in Lao Li's house did not decrease at all.

The square table is full of dishes with all kinds of colors and flavors, and the highlight is a charcoal stove in the middle, in which the golden soup is boiled "suddenly". The big herring caught in the afternoon was stewed with a fresh radish pulled from the vegetable garden, without too many other condiments, and it was just as fragrant and mouth-watering.

"Tsk...... Xiaodong, don't say it, this good wine is good wine, the entrance is soft, don't punch or say, it's sweet. Zhang Chunxi didn't plan to go back to the county tonight anyway, and he was not polite, he carried Feitian Moutai as water to drink, knowing that if he missed this village, there would be no such shop.

"If it's good to drink, you can accompany my two brothers, I'm not bad anymore, and the amount of alcohol has regressed a lot. Li Yadong held Li Erbao in his arms, the little guy finally didn't recognize life this year, and he was holding a toy car in his arms, laughing happily.

It's not that he can't drink, it's that he doesn't want to drink, and he actually drinks too much outside. Before going home, I drank several times, but I didn't slow down.

Yan Weixian sat next to him, and on the left was Hu Xiuying.

"Come, girl, eat more. You came back too suddenly, the family is not prepared, wait until tomorrow to go to the town to buy some delicious food, Auntie will show you both hands. Hu Xiuying said, sandwiching a large piece of herring meat from the charcoal stove and putting it in her bowl.

She deliberately slowed down the speed of her speech, Yan Weixian couldn't understand it all, but at least she could understand the general meaning.

"Auntie, you are too polite, there are already a lot of dishes. You eat too. Yan Weixian said, and also picked up a pinch of pig ears from the plate in front of her and put it into her bowl.

"Eh, ...... well" Hu Xiuying was eating, her eyes did not take away from her handsome face, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became, this is to let her have a round house with her youngest son at night, directly cook raw rice and mature rice, and leave this good girl who is one in a hundred miles to Lao Li's house.

"By the way, Tingting, how are you reading in Hong Kong?" Li Yamin asked as he looked at his daughter.

"Of course. Li Tingting said proudly: "Even the teacher said that I will definitely be a big star in the future." I started one semester later than all my classmates, but now I can be ranked in the top 10 of my class in my major, whether it is dance, vocal music, or acting. My goal for next semester is to be in the top three of my class!"

"My family Tingting is out of breath. Li Yajun laughed.

"Come, third uncle, I'll toast you. Li Tingting held up a glass of orange juice.

"Haha...... Okay, come on. ”

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Yamin asked again: "And Xiaodong, what about you." You should be graduating in the first half of the year, right?"

Li Yadong knew that this stubble could not be avoided by death, but fortunately he had the foresight to go home and go to the University of Hong Kong to get his graduation certificate.

smiled, didn't answer, went back to the room and groped for a while, and soon walked out and handed over a red book with gilded characters to the eldest brother.

"What is this?" the eyes of the room were instantly captivated.

"A diploma, of course. Zhang Chunxi smiled, and a trace of imperceptible envy flashed in his eyes.

Hearing him say this, several members of the old Li family didn't care about eating, so they stood up one after another, came to Li Yamin's side, and looked at him solemnly opening the red book, their eyes bright.

"Boss, hurry up, hurry up and read. Hu Xiuying was illiterate, and urged excitedly.

"It is hereby certified that during his studies in our university, Li Yadong has completed the undergraduate study plan of economics major, has graduated, and has been awarded a bachelor's degree in economics after being reviewed to meet the "Hong Kong Academic Degrees Ordinance". The University of Hong Kong. Principal ......"

Hu Xiuying carefully took the graduation certificate from her eldest son's hand, held it in her hand and touched it again, her eyes were full of tears, for fear of dripping it and staining the graduation certificate, so she quickly wiped it with her sleeve, and said with emotion: "I finally graduated, I finally finished studying, the old Li family finally came up with a university questioner, and I am worthy of the ancestors of the old Li family!"

"Mother, it's not as exaggerated as you say, this is just graduating from college, as the so-called endless sea of learning, I think the shore is still far away. Li Yadong smiled and stepped forward to pull his mother to sit down.

"Huh?" Hu Xiuying asked with a glare, "Haven't reached the shore yet?"

"Well, it's early. Li Yadong explained with a smile, "This is a bachelor's degree, and there are master's degrees and doctorates on it...... If you really want to read it, you can read it for a lifetime. ”

"This ......" Hu Xiuying suddenly felt a sense of white joy, thinking: Why is there no end to reading, and asked: "Then do you still want to read?"

"Don't read it. Li Yadong waved his hand and said: "Just read it almost, and then read it above, unless I plan to do a lifetime of learning in the future, that is not my ambition." ”

"Oh. Hu Xiuying has no objection to the youngest son's idea. If you really want your son to read a book for the rest of his life, and he pounces on books every day, it's scary to think about.

Even Li Yamin nodded and said, "Well, having a college diploma is already considered a high level of culture." If you read it later, it depends on your personal aspirations, and your family forces you to read it, and it is estimated that you will also read it well, and you can make your own decisions in this regard. By the way, you'll graduate in the middle of the year, so what are you doing next year?

"Why do you want to work in Hong Kong?" Before Li Yadong could reply, Hu Xiuying said: "You should return to China, with such a cultural level, can the country arrange an official?"

She hopes that her son will study hard and become a big official in the future. This idea has been buried deep in Li Yadong's heart since the year she was admitted to university.

"Yes, Xiaodong, my mother has a point. Can you arrange an official position in Hong Kong? If you are sure that you will have to come back, as far as you, a college student who has returned from studying abroad, can the country still assign a good job?" Li Yajun also supported his mother's idea.

Although the others did not speak, it was not difficult to see from their expressions that they all thought the same way. Only Li Tingting and Yan Weixian, who knew some of Li Yadong's details, subconsciously looked at him, speculating in their hearts how he would answer.

Li Yadong looked at the two, then at his mother and several brothers and sisters-in-law, thinking that it was probably time to tell them about himself.

In the past, I hid it from my family because what I was doing conflicted with studying, and they had high hopes for themselves on the way to study.

Now it's different, he's graduated.

It's time.

Stop playing, I'm in a showdown.

"That's right, in fact, my future path has been planned for a long time, and I have to say something next, but you have to breathe a sigh of relief first, it may be a little scary. Li Yadong sneered.

"What's the matter, can it still be scary?" Before the people of the old Li family could speak, Zhang Chunxi first stared at the beads of his eyes and asked, "Xiaodong, you shouldn't have done anything out of the ordinary, right?"

"yes. Hu Xiuying chuckled in her heart, patted Li Yadong, and said repeatedly: "You kid, what did you do, you are about to die, don't hurry up." ”

"Mother, it's not a bad thing, don't get excited, listen to me tell you slowly. Li Yadong couldn't wait to glance at Zhang Chunxi with a glance, and originally planned to make his family a little psychologically prepared, for fear that suddenly saying things would scare them, but he didn't want to do the opposite.

"Didn't you do anything illegal?" Li Yamin asked with a frown.

"How is that possible?" Li Yadong smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay, don't guess, just listen to me." ”

"As for me, I set up a company in Hong Kong, and the scale is ...... Not small. At present, there are three industries under it, one is engaged in finance, which is in line with my major. One is for entertainment, that is, for making movies or something. The other is to engage in commercial real estate, which is mainly to rent out offices. ”

"What's that?" the eyes of the few people present widened when they heard this.

"I said Xiaodong, you don't mention what kind of finance you are engaged in, and you also said that you are professionally compatible. What's the deal with making movies and renting out offices? Especially when making movies, that stuff is something that ordinary people can play with? You've done it?" Zhang Chunxi said in surprise.

"Of course it's done, if it's not done, what am I talking about here?" Li Yadong glared at him angrily, and suddenly realized that it was a wrong decision to leave this guy for dinner tonight.

Of course, he didn't stay. This guy also specified that he could not go.

"No...... Li Yajun scratched his head and asked, "Xiaodong, how can you have time to do so many things?"

"I don't have to do it, I ask someone to do it. ”

"Uncle. Liu Jinju's eyes were hot, and he asked with a smile, "You have to ask a lot of money for doing so many things, right?"

Her words are on point, in fact, even if Li Yadong tells them about these industries, they can't think of a flower, and the key is money - in this regard, Li Yadong is entangled in how to speak.

He really doesn't brag, he's afraid of scaring his family.

Think about it, in this era when 10,000 households can alarm the entire county, his wealth ......

"It's a lot of money. Li Yadong nodded, his eyes swept over everyone, especially his mother, and subconsciously reached out to support her, "The assets of this Hong Kong company should be worth billions of yuan at present." ”

Quiet!

The hall was silent for more than ten seconds.

The first to come to his senses was Zhang Chunxi, a pair of squinting eyes could stare like copper bells, and asked with a dull face, "How much?"

"Billions of yuan, I didn't calculate it, most of the main assets are valued in Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Poof!"

A fat man of more than 200 pounds, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, the movement is really not small, and the whole building seems to tremble.

But at this moment, no one could notice him, and the group of people in the old Li family were still immersed in that number that could not be reached by thought.

After a long time, it wasn't until Zhang Chunxi got up from the concrete floor like a nobody that they finally came back to their senses.
