After nightfall, in the small study of the Xu Mansion, the three generations of the Xu family and the Zhao Qingru brothers and sisters sat together and held a secret meeting. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, before the meeting, Zhao Qingru also performed a few minutes of so-called magic show, and took this opportunity to take out a lot of good things in stock.

Of course, most of it is food. It's not worth a lot of money, but for an era like seven or eight years when it was still in the period of planned economy, even in the metropolis of Magic City, it was still quite attractive. Especially fresh tropical fruits or something.

"Feelings, Ru'er also hides a lot of good things. Rao is as calm as a cousin of the sea, and it is inevitable that there will be something strange in his heart at this moment. It's really been a little girl's love for so many years.

"Hey, hey~" Zhao Qingru could only laugh on the side, "Isn't this a secret......"

"Hmph. Before Zhao Qingru's words were finished, he heard Cousin Wuhai unceremoniously make a "hum" sound there. Keep it secret or something, and fool outsiders. If it was really a secret, there would be no need for any secret family meeting tonight.

The Xu family's family meeting is not something that all the descendants of the Xu family can attend. In the third generation, only the future heirs, Cousin Dahai, Cousin Sihai, and Cousin Wuhai, are there. Erhai's cousin, who has successfully entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, doesn't know if he was really frightened by the blind date arrangement of the three aunts, and in May, he secretly got a foreign transfer order and became one of the long-term consuls in Oman. Anyway, it is impossible to return to China in the next few years.

Cousin Sanhai, because of the matter of the third cousin-in-law, he has been excluded from the core members of the Xu family. This kind of meeting, which is related to the future of the entire Xu family, is naturally not qualified to participate. Cousin Liuhai is still in college in another place, so he is not at home at this time. Cousin Nanami and Cousin Hachimi are not old enough. Not to mention Xiao Jiuhai, a milk doll who is still in swaddling clothes.

In this way, the second uncle of the Xu family is alone. No wonder the second uncle's face is as gray as the bottom of the pot, and he is so gloomy that he doesn't look like the handsome uncle in his impression.

"Ru'er, how big is your warehouse?" Cousin Wuhai played with the dragon eye in his hand, and looked at Zhao Qingru with a faint excitement in his eyes.

Fresh longan, Rao is the Xu family who has a solid family background and does not worry about eating and drinking, and Cousin Wuhai only tasted it once when he was very young. Most of the time, I eat dried longan that has been dried into dried fruits. Cousin Wuhai doesn't like sweets very much, and he really can't like it if he has a big core and less meat like dried longan.

But now that he tasted two fresh longans that were as fresh as if they had just been picked from the tree, and saw other fresh fruits such as mango and pineapple, Cousin Wuhai's mind began to come alive. You know, the fruits that can be eaten at this time, especially in winter, are nothing more than fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, and mandarins. Even in a metropolis like the magic capital, it is relatively rare. It's more about canned sugar water such as oranges and loquats, or rare gifts for relatives and friends.

Maybe...... Can you take advantage of the Chinese New Year to earn a vote?

Cousin Wuhai's eyes flickered, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this thing was feasible. Of course, Cousin Wuhai was not hot-headed by his whim, and he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. Cousin Wuhai clearly knows that it will not be so easy if this thing is thought of. The first thing that needs to be solved is the problem of travel. Without a letter of introduction, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch. Of course, the most important thing here is to get the cooperation of your cousin. Otherwise, even if you can get fruit, this long-distance transportation will be tossed all the way, and most of it will be lost.

Zhao Qingru has also lived in the Xu family for several months, and he has gotten along with several of his cousins day and night, looking at Wuhai's cousin, he can more or less guess what he is thinking. What's more, it was Grandpa Xu, who grew up watching Wuhai's cousin, and his three uncles.

"Little Five!" The third uncle, who sensed what his second boy was planning, glared at Cousin Wuhai and took the lead in opening his mouth.

"It's not very big, it can hold about fifty cubic meters. However, because there are other things installed, there are still 30 cubic meters left. Regarding the size of the secret warehouse, Zhao Qingru still has reservations. But even if it's only 30 cubic meters, it's not small, and there's almost a container of space.

"Actually, I also thought about moving the fruits from the island to the magic capital, or even Yanjing, to make a little difference. It's not just the fruits, but the good things on the other side of the Pearl River. It's just that...... Now is not the time. Zhao Qingru looked at Cousin Wuhai with a smile, "Didn't the meeting just start a few days ago, and the special economic zones planned to be set up at the meeting have not yet been established." ”

"Ru'er, you ...... I won't ......" Zhao Qingshan's eyes widened, although he knew that his precious sister's courage was not small, but he didn't expect it to be so big. On the other side of the Pearl River, isn't it the Xiangjiang River? Xiangjiang is surnamed Zi and is under the control of the British Commonwealth. The most important point is that there is a villain named Zhou Liren in Xiangjiang who has not been caught.

Zhao Qingru waved his hand at his eldest brother, signaling Zhao Qingshan not to tell Zhou Liren about it, which only made him worried.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingshan could only put aside the worries in his heart for the time being.

"So, Ru'er, are you in favor of reform and opening up and the establishment of special economic zones?" When chatting about the current situation a few times before, the conservative second uncle was not optimistic about the so-called reform and opening up. The concept of eating a big pot of rice and common prosperity has been deeply rooted in the concept of the second uncle, and the so-called reform and opening up has too many problems in the second uncle's view, which is easy to breed accidents.

"I can't imagine that Ru'er will also be in favor of reform and opening up. The third uncle smiled.

The third uncle, as the youngest son in the family, is actually used to being "lazy". When I was a child, I listened to Lao Tzu Xu's grandfather, and when I grew up, I still listened to Lao Tzu Xu's grandfather, and of course, there was an extra one who listened to my eldest brother. The third uncle followed behind his father and eldest brother, so that the east would never go west, and the dog would never chase the cat.

Therefore, the third uncle didn't feel that it was good for reform and opening up or something, and of course he didn't think there was anything bad. Anyway, in the third uncle's heart, there is only one thought, that is, he is following his father and eldest brother closely, so he is too lazy not to bother with other thoughts.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. Originally, it was the general trend, Zhao Qingru silently added in his heart, then paused slightly, and continued, "If you can really implement the household contract responsibility system in the countryside, and hand over enough to the state to keep the collective, the rest is all your own." Whether it is the country or the collective, in fact, it has not suffered a loss, and it is not much different from the original. The only difference is how much those who contract the land can get in the end. I want to divide the production to the household, in order not to go hungry, everyone can have a little more, and they will carefully take care of those responsible fields. ”

"Yes. As the old saying goes, this land is the foundation of the vast number of peasants. When the peasant has enough to eat and has food in his hands, he will sell the surplus grain to the city. The uncle, who had been studying seriously for several days, patted his thigh and said eloquently, "In addition to grain, there are other agricultural and sideline products. There are so many of these things that I don't need to supply them in limited quantities with tickets anymore. ”

Although the magic capital does not need to buy those necessities of life with tickets, there are many people who come to the magic capital every day to sweep the goods, so a lot of time has to queue up in advance, and it is still a queue for several hours. If you are not careful, it is very likely that you will not buy it because the thing is sold out.

The reason why this is the case, to put it bluntly, is not because of the lack of materials, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"So, Ru'er, you plan to go into business after graduating from college?" Unconsciously, the topic seemed to be crooked. If you want to say that cousin of the sea is still powerful, in a word, he twisted back the topic that he originally wanted to discuss tonight, and hit the bull's-eye directly.

"How is it possible to do business?" Cousin Sihai, who had not spoken much, couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise, "Ru'er was finally admitted to Yenching University this year. The country has cultivated talents for four years, and in the end it ......"

"Did you become a businessman willingly?" Zhao Qingru interrupted Cousin Sihai to continue, turned his head to look at his grandfather, and said with a smile, "I can't imagine that Cousin Sihai looks down on businessmen so much, and feels that 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', businessmen belong to the lower ninth class? Cousin Sihai, don't you forget, grandpa and grandfather are all businessmen." Cousin, you also have the blood of a merchant in you. ”

"Uh......" Cousin Sihai was silent for a while, and his face inevitably showed some sneer.

"Grandpa, three uncles, and cousins, I really want to do business. After the situation is better, we plan to sell the goods from the south to the north, and the goods from the north to the south. Not for the side, even if it's for your own family. ”

What does it mean to be a member of your own family?

Grandpa Xu and Cousin Dahai suddenly understood what their cousin meant, and Cousin Wuhai also vaguely guessed, only Cousin Sihai and his second uncle were still puzzled.

Because Zhao Qingshan had communicated with his baby sister before, he also knew how Zhao Qingru thought about it. It's just that at that time, Zhao Qingshan was only joking when he was his own baby sister, and he didn't take it too seriously. So much so that after leaking Zhao Qingru's biggest hole card to Tang Yue Song, he couldn't understand that his baby sister was so calculating and not generous.

Until this moment, Zhao Qingshan really regretted what he had done before.

"Ru'er girl, you are the baby girl of the Xu family, and there are some things that you don't have to worry about as a little girl. Grandpa Xu said slowly, "If the Xu family wants to rely on your little girl to support it, it is better to disperse early." ”

"It seems that my grandfather really dislikes Ru'er as a girl and is unwilling to give Ru'er a piece of the pie. Zhao Qingru pouted, a little dissatisfied.

"You kid ......" The eldest uncle shook his head helplessly, looking at Zhao Qingru with infinite doting.

There is naturally a reason why the Xu family has been standing for nearly a hundred years. Strict governance is one point, and in addition, the military/government/business are closely linked. Money is indeed a good thing, and in troubled times, buying food and medicine can buy arms for self-defense. Even in times of peace, at least you can make your family's life worry-free. With plenty of money in your hands, it will not be so easy to be attacked in the face of those sugar-coated cannons/shells. Because there is none, it is easier to resist the temptation to reach out and take those things that should not be taken.

"Ru'er, even if your grandparents agree to your three uncles, I'm afraid that your old stubborn grandfather will ......" Before Grandpa Xu's words were finished, the phone in the study suddenly rang.

"Hey, this is the Xu Mansion, who are you looking for?" The cousin of the sea who was closest to the phone answered the phone easily. The phone in the small study is actually an extension, and the phone will be called to the living room first, and then transferred to the study. Most of the time, if there is no urgent matter, it is the living room that answers directly.

Because of this sudden phone call, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became a lot duller.

Could it be that something is wrong?

Zhao Qingru suddenly had a bad feeling, and when she looked up, she saw that her eldest brother was looking at her very nervously.

No...... It's true...... Something happened?!

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Cousin Haihai hung up the phone, his original breezy look was gone, and there was even a faint worry between his eyebrows.

"Eldest grandson, what's wrong?"

"Grandpa......" Cousin Dahai exhaled, turned his head sideways to look at the Zhao Qingru brothers and sisters, "The call just now came from the military department." said that his uncle was shot in the chest and is now being treated in the hospital. ”

What the?

When Zhao Qingru saw that Cousin Dahai rarely showed a gloomy expression, he actually vaguely felt that his cheap father Zhao's father had won the lottery. But when I heard my cousin say this, I still couldn't believe what I heard with my ears.

"This can't be!" Don't say that Zhao Qingru didn't believe it, even Zhao Qingshan flatly denied the news he heard, "I'm obviously ...... it."

"Ru'er, you told me, that clothes, that clothes can withstand bullets. How could Dad have been shot in the chest?! ”

"Brother, you calm down first!" Zhao Qingru was caught a little painfully by her eldest brother's hand, and her brows couldn't help frowning.

"Ru'er, you actually let me calm down at this time! Even if Dad ...... before"

"Zhao Qingshan!" The cousin of Wuhai, who was closest to Zhao Qingshan, slapped Zhao Qingshan as soon as he got his hand, "Things don't want to happen and they have already happened, is it useful for you to shout here?"

"Dahai, what do you say on the phone? Do you want Shanzi and Ru'er to hurry over? Or ......" Rao is the third uncle who rarely has troubles on weekdays, and he feels that his head is big at this time. A shot in the chest, which would have killed someone. If the operation is successful, it's fine, but if there is a ...... Isn't your baby sister going to be widowed at a young age?

Phew, Bah, Jiren has their own natural appearance!

My brother-in-law will be fine.

"Well, the phone said, let Shanzi and Ru'er hurry over...... Especially Ru'er...... The other end of the phone called him by name. ”

"Let me go by name?" Zhao Qingru pursed her lips and didn't hesitate for too long, "Okay, I'll go." Big cousin, are you flying?"

"Hmm. It is said that there is a special helicopter for the military region, and it will be responsible for picking you up and Shanzi. ”

"Got it. (To be continued.) )
