Jia Lei originally wanted to buy an airplane in Tatarstan and come back, but there will always be accidents in this world. When Jia Lei was waiting for news, he was called back to China by a phone call from A Fei from Mingzhu City.

May 20, 1991 at the gate of Pearl City Prison

"Hong Chen was released from prison ahead of schedule today, I just called you to inform you, I didn't expect you to rush back from abroad. Ah Fei said gratefully with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Why do you think I won't come back? No matter how important things are outside, how important is it compared to brothers!" Jia Lei replied without hesitation.

"But if I call you back, will it delay your big event?" Ah Fei asked embarrassedly.

"No, even if you don't call me back, I'm going to come back in the next few days. Jia Lei said, because tomorrow is a special day for Jia Lei.

"Mom, I don't know how my brother is now? I didn't visit the prison last month. Hong Chen's sister lowered her head and shrunk her shoulders and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, your brother is fine. He's coming out soon! With him in the future, others won't dare to bully you anymore. Aunt Yang took her daughter's hand and whispered comforting her.

"Sister Xia, what's wrong? I haven't seen her for two months, why has she lost so much weight?" Jia Lei asked in a low voice.

"Last month, Feng Jun's kid got married to someone else, and Hong Xia cried for a day after hearing about it. I didn't know what I was thinking in a trance for a month, and my food was not delicious and I was getting thinner and thinner. Ah Fei sighed and said.

"Feng Jun, where do I seem to have heard of this name?" Jia Lei asked confusedly.

"Feng Jun is the former fiancé of Sister Xia, the one who worked as a carpenter in a furniture factory. Little Jew reminded Jia Lei.

"Oh, when you say that, I think about it! But since he is Sister Xia's fiancé, why did he marry someone else?" Jia Lei asked.

"After Hong Chen's accident the year before last, Feng Jun's family began to dislike our family Hong Xia has an older brother who is in prison, and Feng Jun's attitude towards our family Hong Xia is getting worse and worse. Later, he met the daughter of a small leader of their furniture factory, and broke up with our family Hong Xia and divorced. Aunt Yang looked at her daughter distressedly and said.

"Mom, don't say it, it's my own fault. The composition of our family is not good, but I am not worthy of Feng Jun. He should marry the leader's daughter!" Hong Xia lowered her head and whispered.

"What's wrong with you? It's obvious that Feng Jun's kid is greedy for money, lustful, and ungrateful! Don't say good things for him anymore. Dasha said angrily that when he knew about it, he immediately went to beat Feng Jun hard.

"The ingredients are not good! Is there anyone who still pays attention to this now?" Jia Lei asked in disbelief.

"Hey! No one has said anything about this old man for a long time, Feng Jun's family is just disgusted with our family and a prisoner in prison, and dislikes our family Hong Xia to embarrass him. There are a lot of such people now, and even people in Hong Xia's unit often joke about Hong Chen's squatting in prison. Our Hongxia used to be a cheerful child, and in the past two years, she has been wronged a lot because of his brother's affairs!" Aunt Yang said with red eyes.

"Mom, don't talk about my brother like that, it's nothing to do with him. I'm stupid, I can't quarrel with others to talk about them. Hong Xia whispered.

In the early 90s, it was a shame that there was a prisoner in the family!

"Dasha, Hongxia is your cousin, you won't just watch her and let others bully you, right?" Jia Lei asked.

"Of course not, whoever dares to speak ill of my cousin, I will beat him! That Feng Jun's family has been beaten by me several times, and they don't dare to speak ill of Sister Xia anymore when they are beaten by me. Dasha clenched his fists and said.

"You're doing the right thing! This kind of person should be beaten! Originally, I thought he wasn't a good thing, and if Hong Chen hadn't made a fortune by pouring treasury bills with us, he wouldn't have been engaged to Hong Xia! It's a pity that I was still in prison when he got out of the marriage, and if I had been outside at the time, I would have had to discount his leg. Ah Fei said angrily.

"And then? did you break Feng Jun's leg and go to the prison to be Hong Chen's companion again? And then you were in prison with Hong Chen as your companion and lived a chic life?" Jia Lei asked with hatred.

"It's just a fight! I just beat an ordinary person like him, and he really dares to sue me? Lao Tzu has not been a gangster for so many years, I have done a lot of things like beating people, and few people have dared to sue me for so many years. Ah Fei said indifferently.

"Why don't they dare sue you?" asked Jia Lei.

"Because they are afraid that after I get out of prison for two months, I will seek revenge on them. Ah Fei said skillfully, Jia Lei was half angry with his words.

"Ah Fei, I didn't say you! You are now a successful entrepreneur with a net worth of millions, can't you take away the street gangster temper in you?" Jia Lei said with a frown.

"I have a natural temper, and I can't take it anymore! I have been on the street for more than ten years, and this bastard's temper has long been deeply rooted in my bones. Ah Fei said with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Squeak-", as the large iron door creaked open, a group of shaved prisoners lined up in a neat line, carrying their luggage.

"Be good people when you go out, and don't come back!" said the prison guard who sent them out to the crowd.

"Yes!" replied the group in unison.

"Brother!", "Son!".

Hong Chen's parents and brothers shouted excitedly to surround him, and Hong Xia, the only sister, rushed into Hong Chen's arms and cried.

"Brother, I want to kill you! You finally came out, and you've lost a lot of weight in just two years. Hong Xia hugged Hong Chen's waist and cried distressedly.

"Don't cry, don't I'm coming out. Your brother and I are not thin, I am strong. You don't know that your brother and I are now full of muscles, which I have cultivated every day by building roads and moving stones. Hong Chen smiled and touched his sister's head and said.

"Oh, my son is thin, he's really thin! Let's stop talking nonsense here, let's go home." Ah Chen, your mother stewed braised pork and soybean pork feet for you at home. Let's go home and make up for it!" said Hong Chen's father, patting his son on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's go home......" Hong Chen said this, looking at his parents, whose hair was much whiter than before, and finally couldn't help crying.

"Son, let's not cry! Let's go home, you go home with your mother. Aunt Yang took Hong Chen's hand and said.

"Whew! It's so touching! My eyes are sore. Jia Lei rubbed his eyes and said.

"I don't know why, I listened to what they said, and my eyes were a little uncomfortable. Ah Fei raised his head and looked at the sky and said, he was afraid that tears would fall as soon as he lowered his head.

"I think it's superfluous for a few of us to be here! At a time like this for family reunions, we should leave space for Aunt Yang and her family. Outsiders like us shouldn't disturb their family reunion!" said the little Jew, who threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it vigorously, feeling that he was superfluous.

"What are you guys talking about there? Hong Chen suddenly turned around and said with a smile at Ah Fei.

"Hong Chen, it's great that you're here! Dasha was the first to walk over, hugged Hong Chen fiercely and said.

"yes! I'm going to kill you guys in there. Hong Chen also hugged Dasha and said.

"Since you think of me so much, I will reluctantly let you hug me. The little Jew walked over and hugged him with open arms.

Unexpectedly, Ah Fei took the first step and hugged Hong Chen's other side, and the little Jew couldn't stop but hugging half of Dasha's body, but his other hand was empty.

"Great! It's been two years...... , our brothers are finally together again!" Ah Fei said excitedly, patting Hong Chen's back.

"Yes, it's been two years, and our brothers are finally reunited again!" Hong Chen also said with emotion.

"It's a pity that Hua Kai is not here, otherwise we would really be reunited. In the past, when we were in a group, the five of us happened to be in a circle, but unfortunately now Hua Kai is gone......!

As soon as the name Huakai came out, the atmosphere suddenly fell into embarrassment!

"You dead boy, you know you can't speak, and you still have a lot of mouths!" Ms. Jin said angrily and kicked her son in the ass.

"I'm sorry, did I say the wrong thing again?" Dasha immediately reacted and asked.

"No, ......I know you're unintentional. Hong Chen said helplessly.

"Forget it, seeing that you are so pitiful, I'll help you make up the number. Jia Lei walked up to them, stood on tiptoe vigorously, put his right hand on the shoulder of the little Jew, and put his left hand on Ah Fei's shoulder, and said casually.

The arrival of Jia Lei made up for the position that the five-person group habitually vacated.

＊＊＊＊

"Mom, why didn't Feng Jun come over for dinner today?" Hong Chen walked out and asked after taking a shower and changing clothes.

"Ahh......h

"What's wrong, shouldn't something have happened to him?" Hong Chen looked at his mother's flustered eyes and immediately asked worriedly.

"Ah, nothing happened to Feng Jun! I'll tell you some things later, you take this dish out and put it on the table first, Ah Fei and they are all waiting for you outside, you go talk to them first." We'll talk about the rest tomorrow!" Aunt Yang said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Today is the big day for her son to be released from prison, and she doesn't want her son to know about these unhappy things. The Feng family withdrew from the marriage because of Hong Chen's imprisonment, but everyone has always hidden it from Hong Chen.

"Is there really nothing wrong with Feng Jun?" Hong Chen asked with some suspicion as he held the plate.

"Brother, you go outside and chat with Brother Dasha, Feng Jun, he really didn't have any major incidents, but there was something trivial between the two of us!" Hong Xia finished speaking and pushed Hong Chen out of the kitchen.

"Can any of you tell me what happened to our family in the two years I've been away?" asked Hong Chen, putting the dishes on the table.

"This ......? Nothing really happened to you in your house? Look at it, your house has been renovated, and you have bought a new color TV and a washing machine. Life is much better than before you went in, what can happen?" said the little Jew.

"I'm not asking about money, I'm asking about other things?" Hong Chen looked at Ah Fei and asked, and Ah Fei immediately turned his head weakly.

"Dasha......" Hong Chen turned his head to look at his stupid cousin.

"Hmm...... I know! I'll shut up!" Dasha rarely stirred up his spirit, and covered his mouth without being reminded by others.

"Oh, I haven't been in China for the past two years, and I only came back yesterday......" Jia Lei immediately said in a fake manner.

Everyone else in the room also began to look left and right to avoid Hong Chen's gaze, and everyone began to talk about other topics together.

"Oh Jia Lei, you don't know, in the two months since you left, my Yanzhong Industrial stock has fallen to 200 yuan......" The little Jew grabbed Jia Lei and said distressedly.

"Yanzhong Industrial, why haven't you sold this stock yet? I remember that I had already reminded you when I left, so that you could sell it quickly?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

"Didn't I give up for a while! Although you warned me, I always wanted to wait for it to rise back to 380 yuan before selling it! But who would have thought that all the stocks in the market were rising. Only in the eyes of the industry has fallen!" said the little Jew with special regret.

"Forget it, just go down, you haven't lost any money right now. I remember that your purchase price was 200 yuan, right?" asked Jia Lei.

"I really didn't lose anything, maybe I didn't make any money! The day before yesterday, I couldn't bear it, so I threw away all the shares of Yanzhong Industrial. Little Jew said.

The stock price has fallen to this point, you shouldn't be in a hurry. Maybe the stock price will improve in two days?" Jia Lei said with a frown.

You must know that the Pearl stock market is about to usher in a big bull market, and the little Jew sold the stock at this time, but it was a big loss.

"Even if the stock market improves, I don't dare to keep it anymore! You don't know, Yanzhong Industrial fell to an ultra-low price of 174 yuan on the summer solstice on May 5, and I had the heart to jump off the building at that time. Fortunately, it has risen back in the past few days, and as soon as I saw that the stock of Yanzhong Industrial had returned to the cost price when I bought it, I quickly threw away Yanzhong Industrial. The little Jew said with a wry smile.

"...... for no reason" Jia Lei stared at Hong Chen's movements while casually talking to the little Jew.

Hong Chen had already pushed Hong Xia's room open at this time, looking at the room that was exactly the same as before his accident, Hong Chen couldn't help frowning.

“…… How could Yanzhong Industrial's stock fall so much?" Jia Lei asked.

"Oh, you don't know, the Pengcheng stock market launched a rescue operation at the end of last year, and the stock price of Pengcheng was speculated again. The friends from Pengcheng who speculated with me on Yanzhong Industrial wanted to sell the shares of Yanzhong Industrial and go back to Pengcheng to speculate in stocks. Unexpectedly, it was they who began to follow the trend as soon as they threw those retail investors. In addition, there is no limit on the rise and fall of Yanzhong Industrial's stock, and it has fallen sharply within a day! Now there are even more people who follow the trend and throw it, and I was trapped before I could react. Little Jew said sadly.

"This can't be, right? Even if Yanzhong Industrial's stock price is a bit high, stocks are rare on the stock exchange now. How can it be that there is only selling but no one buying?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"Ordinary stockholders are all chasing the rise and killing the fall! The more the stock price falls, the more everyone rushes to sell, and no one dares to buy it at all! Besides, those who can open accounts on the stock exchange now are all old stockholders who have stocks in their hands. Everyone doesn't have to buy the stock of Yanzhong Industrial, and it just so happened that in April, the state issued a large number of Pudong Development State bonds. Because of the high interest rate of this bond, the people are rushing to buy it, and no one in Mingzhu City will come to buy this Yanzhong Industrial, which has been falling non-stop. Ah Fei explained to Jia Lei.

"That's not right, even if everyone goes to buy treasury bonds, won't there be anyone in the Pearl stock market to buy the bottom?" asked Jia Lei.

"Jia Lei, don't you forget the endless cycle of the stock market, right?" asked the little Jew with wide eyes.

"Hmm, what kind of loop?" Jia Lei asked confusedly.

"Is that the endless cycle of wanting to speculate in stocks, you must first open an account, and if you want to open an account, you must have stocks to open an account?" reminded Jia Lei.

"Oh, I remember! But isn't there a stock subscription warrant now? With this warrant, everyone can buy stocks and open an account? Those new shareholders are willing to spend thousands of yuan to buy even a stock subscription warrant? There is no reason why Yanzhong Industrial has such a cheap stock, but no one buys it?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"Hmm...... The securities company said that if there is no lottery or even a lottery for unlisted stocks, you can't open an account with its stock subscription warrant. After the stock is listed, the shareholders can only open an account to buy and sell the stock in the securities company after holding the subscription warrant and paying the subscription fee. The little Jew said speechlessly.

"Huh...... It turns out that it's another endless loop!" Jia Lei said helplessly.

"That's right! Now, in addition to the new shareholders brought by the six new stocks that have just been listed, there are still those old faces in the stock exchange of Mingzhu City! Most of the funds in the hands of these people have already been occupied by the old stocks, and the new shareholders have a thin foundation! Of course, the stock price of Yanzhong Industrial cannot be speculated. The little Jew said helplessly.

"Wait, I remember that there weren't seven stocks in the lottery? How did the listed stock become six?" Jia Lei asked in surprise.

"It is said that Pudong Johnson & Johnson is a concept stock, and there will be no stock listing until next year, so basically no one will ask for the call warrant of this stock, and the price is the lowest among all the stock subscription warrants. It is almost the same price as the stock subscription warrant of the second textile machine that has been used once. Little Jew explained.

"Violent heavenly things, really violent heavenly things! This group of people is too ignorant of goods, that's Pudong concept stocks......" Jia Lei patted his thigh in distress when he heard this.

"Huh, Jia Lei, why do you say that? Isn't it a tyrannical thing not to buy Pudong concept stocks? This stock doesn't even have a shadow yet, will it make a fortune?" Ah Fei asked puzzled, and others also asked.

"Mom? Let me ask you, why is Hong Xia still living at home? Before I went in, didn't Feng Jun and Hongxia already decide to get married in August of that year?"

"Smack!" Hearing this question, Hong Xia's hand shook, and she threw the glass she was pouring beer for Hong Chen on the ground.

The room immediately fell into a deathly silence, Jia Lei and the others didn't dare to speak, and they didn't even dare to breathe!

Everyone stared at Hong Chen, not knowing how to answer his question.

Everyone's attempt to change the subject failed!
