At that time, a civil war broke out.

Although the Chiang district was in charge of the large number of fiat currency printed, prices skyrocketed. Subsequently, the authorities began to force the people to hand over gold and silver dollars to exchange for "gold yuan coupons". Even on August 19, 1948, the Nationalist Government issued a "Fiscal and Economic Emergency Order" and began to attack industrial and commercial giants.

But Hong Lucheng has an extraordinary mind and sensitivity in the business world, and he has been dealing with inflation since he noticed the signs of inflation. From suspending the sale of goods to stopping the sale of goods, he also exchanged a large amount of fiat currency in his hand for gold bars and silver dollars.

Subsequently, when ****** made a demonstration of "fighting tigers" and forcibly confiscated silver dollars and gold in the hands of merchants. He also realized that the domestic economy was about to collapse, and seized the loophole that the law did not confiscate foreign currency, and began to convert all the assets that could be exchanged into US dollars and Hong Kong dollars through the black market, and deposited them in batches with Citibank and HSBC.

As a result, through this method of exploiting loopholes and superhuman vision and brains, he successfully allowed Hong and Shou to avoid the losses caused by inflation caused by the indiscriminate issuance of paper money by banks. Avoid the fate of being hit hard by the economy and going bankrupt like other businesses.

Later, as the war situation gradually evolved, Hong Lucheng's eldest brother, Hong Fucheng, who had already taken up a high-ranking official in Chongqing, began to send people to him constantly to send secret reports, making him more and more sure that there was no hope of victory for the Chiang dynasty. As a result, we had to start replanning the future of the Hong family.

Seriously, although he doesn't look down on the Three People's Party at all. But the attributes of the Hong family itself doomed him to not believe how the Red Party, which stood on the opposite side of all the rich, would treat the Hong family well. So after careful consideration, he discussed with the Shou family and proposed that the two families move to Hong Kong together.

Regarding Hong Lucheng's worries, Shou Jingfang didn't think it was wrong, the two of them, the foreign currency deposits alone combined had two or three million, which was enough to ensure that they could live in an unfamiliar environment. It's just that the choice he made was that he still wanted to stay.

The reason for this is not only because of his homeland, but also because of his own profession. He thinks that he is working in traditional Chinese medicine, and if he goes overseas, he will become a waste. There is no Chinese medicine there, and no one recognizes Chinese medicine, which is destined for his world to be in this place where he was born and raised.

Therefore, the result agreed upon by the two families in the end was that the Hong family left alone, leaving the Shou family to stay in the capital. In this way, both ends can be taken into account, and it can be decided according to the situation in the future.

Moreover, the Hong family's cars and goods are easy to sell, but the houses and shops are not easy to get rid of for a while. In addition, Wang Yunlin was sick and bedridden at this time, and she couldn't go far for a while. Both of these things can be taken care of by Shou Jingfang first.

In this way, Hong Lucheng reserved the US dollars for the purchase of air tickets for his family, and he first got on the military plane transferred by Hong Fucheng, responsible for transporting the antique jade, calligraphy, painting, and literary toys that had been packed, as well as a box of gold bars that were cashed out later, and went to Hong Kong to meet his eldest brother.

Originally, according to the original plan, after New Year's Day in 1949, Hong Lucheng settled everything in Hong Kong, and let Wang Yunlin, who had recovered from illness, and his son Hong Yanzheng come to Hong Kong to get together.

Unexpectedly, Hong Lu was not long after he arrived in Hong Kong. However, the news on the radio suddenly came that the battle of Beijing and Tianjin had begun. This time, both sides were immediately in a hurry.

Shou Jingfang hurriedly thought of a way to arrange for the frail Wang Yunlin to take Hong Yanzheng to Nanyuan to get on the plane.

But the luck was really bad, they had already arrived at the airport, but when they were about to get on the plane, the airport was captured by the Red Party army.

This made the trip to Hong Kong a failure. Shou Jingfang then could only send Wang Yunlin's mother and son back to Beiping.

Subsequently, Beijing and Tianjin were completely surrounded into iron barrels. They were cut off from the outside world.

On the Hong Kong side, Hong Lucheng was naturally anxious and began to inquire about the news of Beiping through various channels. Fortunately, the postal road is still open, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Yunlin's letter to him to report his safety finally arrived. This gave him a little peace of mind.

After that, Hong Lucheng began to try in many ways to plan to bring his wife and children to Hong Kong, but unfortunately it was not feasible. After a long period of suffering, coupled with sorrow and anxiety, the hope felt on both sides is getting slimmer and slimmer.

After the Dragon Boat Festival in 1949, Wang Yunlin sent the last letter to Hong Lucheng.

In this letter written with tears, she told Hong Lucheng that since her fate should be like this, she should not wait for their mother and son any longer. Now she only hopes that Hong Lucheng will make proper arrangements for his future life in Hong Kong, and she will not miss them. And she relies on the old shops of the Hong family that have not yet been sold, and her life will be generally safe in the future, and she will raise her son alone in Beijing.

It should be said that at this time, Wang Yunlin completely thought that it was hopeless to get together, and she had completely accepted her fate, and she was ready to face all future difficulties alone.

She never expected that after Hong Lucheng saw this letter, he actually proved that he was a qualified husband and a competent father with unexpected practical actions.

He is for her, for this family. gave birth to the courage to go into the tiger's den in Longtan alone, and did not hesitate to risk his life to leave Hong Kong and return home to Beijing.

In Hong Kong, Hong Lucheng first quarreled with his eldest brother Hong Fucheng, who was trying to stop him, and resolutely said that his wife and children would not be given up and he would never marry another. Then he left all his family fortunes behind and only went on the road.

Due to the suspension of all airplane flights to the inland at that time, Hong Lucheng spent the high price of ten gold bars to hire a ferry back to Huacheng.

After arriving in Huacheng, since the ships had been forcibly requisitioned by the government army, he could only bribe a mail truck driver to take the land route instead.

Along the way, the market is chaotic and the road is difficult. It wasn't until October that he made it to Liuzhou.

But locally, he encountered Bai Chongxi's rout again. Fortunately, although he was looted, his personal safety was not violated.

Then, after continuing to go through horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, trains, and trekking, in mid-November, he finally returned to his old house in the capital safely.

At this time, after going through ups and downs all the way, he not only had a lame leg, but also lost all the belongings he carried, only a bad body, and he was very depressed.

But although in the eyes of others, Hong Lucheng was as depressed as a flower, when the courtyard door opened, Wang Yunlin saw him, and couldn't suppress the surprise, emotion and relief, all from the bottom of his heart.

When the husband and wife say goodbye, it is like a lifetime apart.

Especially when he heard the son who chased him out afterwards call "Dad", it made Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin both shed tears.

Without a moment's hesitation, the couple couldn't help but hug their heads and cry together.

They want to express through tears the separation of nearly a year, the thoughts of nearly a year, and the sorrow of nearly a year.

At this time, in their hearts, except for the joy of reunion after the catastrophe and the happiness of a lifetime, everything else is not important.

What kind of gold, silver, jewelry, fame and fortune, that is all false! No matter how bitter and difficult the days to come, it will be sweet!

At this point, Shou Jingfang's words are over again.

But this time, Hong Yanwu didn't speak for a longer time.

It's not that he doesn't want to say. Rather, these past events that he did not know about the past have been made into mellow wine, with the color of time, and the taste is extremely mellow. He felt a lot more than what he wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say it clearly.

The most profound experience is that he just feels that he knows too little about his family.

His grandfather, his maternal grandmother, his parents, his uncle, and for the first time today, he had heard of the grandfather who was sitting on a fortune far away in Hong Kong.

These people of the older generation, these people who are related to him by blood, it seems that everyone carries an ordinary but extraordinary story in them.

And in these lives that seem to be separated from each other, there are many life truths that he has not understood or experienced.

In the past, he only had relatives, dependents, and shame for his family. But now that I know this, I can't help but be a little respectful of my parents and these relatives. Let him realize that he used to live a confused life, a sloppy life, and a muddy life.

And when he put such a past event in his mind, he couldn't help but start thinking about a question, that is, what kind of life do he want to live?

Yes, for the time being, he can't think that thoroughly. But one thing he was sure of was that.

That is to be worthy of the sincerity of these parents and relatives, worthy of these amazing experiences......

The road ahead was already dark, and I could faintly see the light in the distance. It was supposed to be the lights of the city.

When Hong Yanwu saw this scene, he suddenly felt that his body gained a kind of strength and an expectation for life, prompting him to speed up and pedal the car and catch up.

Unexpectedly, what was extremely out of tune with his mood was a dragging voice behind him.

"Third child, what are you doing? Take it easy! I don't want my bones to fall apart......
