On the night of the National Day, a major event also happened in the Hong family that can be recorded in the family history.

That is, the old man of the Hong family officially announced at the dinner table that he was going to re-enter the business sea and open a business business.

Hearing this news, Hong Yanwu was overjoyed and very happy.

Quickly got up to toast his father and congratulated him.

I said sincerely, "You've finally made up your mind, but it's not easy." ”

The rest of the Hong family also hurriedly congratulated them, and stood up to toast the two old families together.

Even Hong Jun took Xiaoying and Hong Yi to pay tribute to his grandparents with the "Arctic Ocean".

The only unhappy person was Hong Yanzheng, whose face was drooping and about to fall.

The toast is listless and perfunctory.

So now I can send a handle to Hong Yanwu.

He began to pick on his eldest brother's eyes, saying that he was not like words, and he was not sincere even to toast his parents, and he had no rules.

I have to ask him to come over and have a good toast.

Unexpectedly, Hong Lucheng himself not only didn't care, but also stood in Hong Yanzheng's perspective and took credit for him.

"Third brother, don't deliberately trouble your eldest brother. He is a straight man, and he has all emotions on his face. It's true that he doesn't like me to do business, but he's a little bit better. Although we can't work together, we can work together. You were busy a while ago, but you haven't been seen recently, and I asked him to help me run for a lot of things. You see, even if he is not happy, he will help me get things done, and it will take a real effort. Can you still blame him?"

Saying this, Hong Yanwu quickly changed his attitude, and toasted his eldest brother with a sneer.

The road is hard, and it is said that the eldest brother has worked hard and made great achievements.

In everyone's laughter, Hong Yanzheng glanced at Hong Yanwu and drank a glass very reluctantly.

However, Hong Lucheng didn't go all out to the eldest son, so he still took the opportunity to say a few words to him.

"It's a struggle. Actually, I know why you're upset. It's just that I feel that I am a formal retired employee of the state, and I can't do business with a public pension. People think, is it because we can't get by, or are we going to get into the money? Isn't it? Why? You haven't turned around for so long?"

Hong Yanzheng did not deny it, and said it bluntly.

"Dad, I really can't figure it out. You see, you've been retired for several years, and you're in your sixties. How good is it to raise flowers, yo-yo birds, and visit the park? Our family is not short of money, so why do you have to go back to your old business? Not to mention that it doesn't look good in the eyes of outsiders. It will be misunderstood that we are not filial. said that we let the old family retire and go out to eat. It's just doing business, and I'm tired of panicking. Not only for the sake of face, but also for the sake of your body......"

But his expression full of filial piety still made Hong Lucheng shake his head.

"Boss, you are a real person, and you are also a good heart. But you look at people too simply. ”

"You know, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, what you think is good may not be applicable to everything. Your uncle loves to raise flowers and fish, and of course such days are good for him. But not with others. ”

"Don't talk about others, what do you think about Director Chang after he retires? He doesn't like what you say, and the fun becomes boring. When I first retired, I almost didn't like to go out of my house, nor did I like to see people, and I was almost isolated from the world. finally showed his face, and everyone was loose, looking as if he had just finished a serious illness. ”

In the end, fortunately, he found his heart in the used bookstall of Liulichang, and then he had the spirit again. You see now, he spends all day in the glaze factory, and when he goes home at night, he has to soak in the pile of ancient texts to clean up the stacks of calligraphy and articles. Do you feel tired of letting you do this? But people are just enjoying themselves. ”

"Me too. All my life has been focused on business. I don't love flowers, birds, fish and insects, but I am happy when I hear the sound of the abacus. What you think of as tiring and labor, for me, is a game full of joy and making everything orderly. ”

"And it's the same with life, you can't measure everything with a ruler, and not everything has an answer. ”

"Who said that trading is purely for the sake of making money, for personal gain? Look at the old knife sharpener in our alley, a kitchen knife, only a penny. The car repair master at the door of the non-staple food store on Xinxin Road brought a dime and a penny, and the valve core was a penny, and the gas was free. Shouldn't I be grateful to them for making everyone's lives easier? If it's just to make money, don't do it. ”

"Yan Zheng, you know best, I took over this deal at the invitation of Aunt Bian. Am I not for the convenience of everyone's life? Am I not solving practical problems for the public? Am I not contributing to socialism? This matter is upright to everyone. What do you have to be embarrassed about?"

"In the past, public-private partnerships were a social need, and now it is also a social need to encourage individuals to do business. Isn't the reason why the attitude of the state has changed so much because it has found that it is beneficial for society for individuals to do business?"

"Since the times are changing, people's thinking and concepts cannot remain the same. I believe that soon, people will return to an objective view of how individuals do business. When the time comes, you won't be awkward in your heart. ”

The old man's words undoubtedly made Hong Yanzheng speechless.

Regardless of whether he really understood it in his heart or not, he couldn't find any reason to refute it anyway.

It's just that the old man said that he was in the back, but he also brought a bit of a lesson, which affected the atmosphere of the banquet a little.

But fortunately, the more Hong Yanwu listened, the more curious he became, he really couldn't think of what his father wanted to do.

As soon as he couldn't bear to ask, he just rightly diverted the topic and resolved everyone's constraints.

"Dad, why am I confused? Why did Aunt Bian ask you to come out? What are you going to solve the actual problems of the street? It's not that they want you to set up a street factory? Aren't you going to run our old number?"

Hong Lucheng was happy to hear it.

"Boss, I've thought about it, since I'll hand it over to you sooner or later, you look at it and have this ability. I'm not going to worry about that. ”

"As for what I'm going to do, it's a small business with five or six people in the sky, where is it as big as a street factory?"

"Let me tell you the truth, the tavern on Nanheng Street has closed down due to poor management, and the wine seat of the non-staple food store on Zixin Road has also been withdrawn. Nearby residents can't find a place to drink outside now. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, I want to open a 'big wine tank'. ”

Of course, Hong Yanwu was taken aback by these words, he never thought that his father, the head of the Hong family, would open a tavern.

"Dad, you...... Aren't you overkill? You said that you've waited so long that you finally made up your mind...... You, that's what you're going to do?"

"Why don't you take the time to help me go out and see what's going on, good yard...... Did Aunt Bian beg you personally, so that you couldn't wipe off your face?"

"Simply, I'll go to Director Li, let's pay for it, and let the street open another one by itself." You're playing with them. It's better to free up your hands and do a serious shop......"

Unexpectedly, he was the same as Hong Yanzheng just now, and this kindness also made his father pout.

"Hey, third child, dare you not be much better than the boss in this knowledge?"

"I've waited so long, what am I waiting for? I'm waiting for a good opportunity for a hired person. ”

"I can't provide an iron rice bowl like the public, and I don't have as many fox friends as you. If no one wants to work for me, what can I do?"

"To tell the truth, that is, when grain production has increased year after year, this year's grain stores have completely unlimited grain sales. Moreover, the autumn grain harvest was recently, and the newspaper really published the news of the difficulty in selling grain as I thought. Only then did I have the confidence to let Lao Li go back to his hometown and help me bring a few people over. Otherwise, hired labor is a ceiling. No matter how capable I am, I can't get out of the situation. ”

"You still think this business is small and look down on it, don't you? Let me tell you, the more profitable the transaction, the more capable you must be. Don't look at the boss outside, you really let you make a profit of this wine shop, you may not be able to do it without losing money. ”

"In these days, when it comes to doing business, everyone is staring at the business that makes money. But almost all of the huge profits come from the in-demand materials. Earning money that others cry about? Lack of morality! It will not last long! Only in the business that everyone thinks is bound to lose money, can you earn money that makes others laugh, this is interesting, and it is called ability. ”

"Third brother, didn't I tell your eldest brother just now? I'm not doing business for money. I am willing to do this because I feel that I have lived in Furu for decades and have been taken care of by my neighbors. I can't bear to see that the big guy is getting old, and he has no place to drink or chat. ”

"That's why. In my eyes, all the things you toss outside don't look like you make a lot of money. But I didn't make that 'day and night store' interesting and high-grade. ”

"I'm not talking about you. I originally thought that there was Shui Qing in charge of you, and your proximity to Zhu Zhechi could reassure me. Now I see, in the future, you still have to put a question mark on whether you can do a good job with the old number......"

Speaking of which, Hong Yanwu of the city wall of the cheeky race is actually easy to say. But Shui Qingxian couldn't bear it.

She couldn't help but defend Hong Yanwu, who was wronged.

"Dad, I'm afraid you misunderstood Xiao Wu. Actually, that......"

I didn't want to finish speaking, but I was stopped by Hong Yanwu himself.

"Don't say nice things for me. Dad's words really made me see this for a long time. ”

Then toast another glass of wine to Hong Lucheng.

"Dad, nothing else, you taught me another lesson. My son admires you, and I will learn from you in the future. You can talk to me about how much money you need, it doesn't matter if you pay it or not. Anyway, you can do whatever you want. As long as you're happy......"

Not only was the old man happy, but Wang Yunlin was also happy.

As a result, the whole family said that Hong Yanwu would be a sycophant, and everyone was happy again, and they all stood up and toasted together, which was very lively.

But in fact, everyone is almost misunderstood.

Hong Yanwu is definitely not insincere, what he said is all sincere.

Not to mention anything else, just rushing to other people's misfortunes to be able to stain this, he can't help but convince him of his old son.

Because whether it is from Chen Peisi, Mr. Shan, or Xiao Heping.

His own benefits are all random, uncontrollable at all, pure luck.

is commendable, at most, he knows how to kill two birds with one stone to save popularity, and his brain just needs to turn faster.

But the old man is not.

His father was able to think of the difficulty of selling grain from the increase in grain production, and when he saw the release of labor, this realm was completely different.

That was with clarity and foresight. I can understand the general trend of the whole world at a glance.

He thought about it carefully, although no one had ever mentioned this article when summing up the experience of reform.

But facts have proved that the tide of migrant workers, the tide of migrant workers, and the beginning of the Spring Festival just started from 84 or 85.

Think about the ancestor of the Hong family, Hong Xiangqi, who came to Beijing from his hometown in Fushan, Shandong during the Yongzheng period, and relied on the Yongzheng Emperor's paving to enjoy personal freedom and have the opportunity to start a business in Beijing.

Isn't this similar to the current scene?

This is how a historical era was opened, quietly and inadvertently.

But who else but his father could have made such a clear judgment?

History also always seems to repeat itself inadvertently.

But who else but him can feel it so really?
