Christmas is a good day for family reunions for ordinary European and American people, and the importance that Christians who pay special attention to family attaches to Christmas is beyond the imagination of Chinese people.

For them, Christmas is like the Chinese New Year, the most important festival of the year, and it is also the day for them to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year.

The Xiao family has moved to the United States over the years, and although they still adhere to many Chinese traditions, they have gradually integrated into the life of the United States, and Christmas is also presentable.

When Xiao Feng returned home from the Christmas war, the Christmas tree lights in the 'Dream Manor' were shining, and the statue of Santa Claus and various decorations created a strong Christmas atmosphere, which felt good.

Because it was too late, the children were already asleep in the car, and Xiao Feng was complained by the old man at home, saying that he had to take the children to the court at such a late hour,......。

Don't look at Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's various affairs in the group, but their status in the family is not very high, and the old people can still clean them up.

Faced with the nagging of the two mothers, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao didn't dare to fight back, and silently carried the children to their room and settled down.

After some tossing, it was close to 12 o'clock in the morning when Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were idle in the room, Xiao Feng poured two glasses of 'dream wine', and stood in front of the windowsill with his wife to watch the snowflakes falling one after another.

Winters in Los Angeles rarely snow, and this is the first heavy snowfall the family has seen in the third year they moved here, which is also a surprise.

"Tomorrow the children will be happy!" Xu Mengyao said with a smile as she looked at the dreamlike snowflakes under the street lamp.

Forbes magazine announced the 2017 list of the world's richest people, and Xu Mengyao became the world's richest woman with a net worth of $12.8 billion, but this honor did not have much impact on Xu Mengyao's life.

She spends most of her time in the 'Dream Manor', there are many elderly people in the family, and she needs to worry about many things, after all, nannies and caregivers can't be so caring.

After returning from a vacation in China this time, Ping Ping'an, who has turned three years old, has also reached the age of going to kindergarten, and Xu Mengyao's life at home is even more leisurely.

Fortunately, there are more and more affairs of the 'Jinghu Group', and as the vice chairman of the board of directors of the group, she needs to deal with a lot of documents on behalf of Xiao Feng every day, so Xu Mengyao even opened a special office center in the 'Dream Manor' to handle official business.

Generally speaking, Xu Mengyao appears in the public and media vision, probably with Xiao Xiao, Wei Tingting, and many upper-class wives in Los Angeles shopping, SPA, fitness, etc., or the family spends leisure time in major parks and amusement places inside and outside Los Angeles.

No matter how the amount of wealth changes, the focus of Xu Mengyao's life is still in the 'Dream Manor' and the big family of the Xiao family.

Especially Xu Mengyao is now the daughter-in-law of the future patriarch Xiao Feng, and she needs to help Xiao Feng manage the entire Xiao family, including various family benefits, rewards and the operation of the entrepreneurship fund, and her life is quite fulfilling.

When she sees snow in Los Angeles, her first reaction is that the children's mood will get better.

"I'm resting tomorrow, so I can play with the kids!" Xiao Feng nodded and said, "It's rare to have a snowfall, and it is estimated that next year's wine will taste better!"

The Lakers' next game is to host the Rockets two days later, which is also a chance for the Lakers to spend Christmas at home, and Xiao Feng simply announced that the team will have a day off.

Although the Lakers' record this year has not made a breakthrough, Xiao Feng is also quite satisfied with the performance of the players, after all, the team is in a virtuous circle.

The usual training and competitions are too time-consuming, Xiao Feng still hopes to be able to accompany the children at home whenever he has the opportunity, after all, witnessing every step of the children's growth is the wish of every parent.

For example, during this time, Ping'an was learning French in kindergarten, Xiao Feng didn't want to miss the stage where the children were babbling, and now this snow came at the right time.

According to Xiao Feng's experience, the vineyard was covered with heavy snow in winter, and the wine grapes that were grown the following year not only increased yield, but also improved quality. Therefore, Xiao Feng also hopes that the wines produced by 'Château Dream' next year will be able to reach a higher level, and perhaps 'Dreamy 2018' will become a historical wine like '82 Lafite' in the future!

In Xiao Feng's view, the so-called various wealth valuations and stock price evaluations are actually just numbers on paper, which can make the Xiao family go back to a long time, and the important element of the country's perpetuation is the bottles of top wine!

No matter what happens in the future, the 10,000 bottles of 'Dream Wine' and the 200,000 bottles of 'Xiao Wine' that are stored every year are actually an important cornerstone for the future comeback of the Xiao family. Of course, Xiao Feng hopes that after a hundred years, his children and grandchildren will not need to sell these treasured wines to make a living, after all, that means that the Xiao family has fallen into a stage of exhaustion.

At this point, the Xiao family needs to learn from old families such as Morgan and Rockefeller, don't look at the assets of these families on the surface, but they hide more wealth in real estate, art, farms and pastures, minerals and the equity of various high-quality enterprises, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the huge wealth in their hands and control.

In contrast, today's Xiao family is still a little thin, and Xiao Feng, as the patriarch, naturally wants to think in the long term and gradually hide the wealth in his hands, which is a smart move.

After all, the tree is big, and the rafters that come out are rotten first, and Xiao Feng doesn't want the Xiao family to become the target of public criticism in a few years.

Perhaps, in a few decades, it will be difficult for people to see the names of the members of the Xiao family from the list of the richest people, but the Xiao family can still have great influence in the world and have a certain say in the high-level of the Chinese and American governments.

Being a 'predator' behind the scenes is the future direction of Xiao Feng and the Xiao family!

In fact, this is also an important reason why the 'Jinghu Group' implements the 'American Strategy', the domestic political climate in China does not allow the survival of the family consortium at all, Xiao Feng wants to make the 'Jinghu Group' and the Xiao family still have enough strength after a hundred years, it is very necessary to cultivate both inside and outside.

Since having children and Xiao Feng participating in the NBA, Xiao Feng and his wife have rarely been alone, and on this snowy Christmas Eve, the couple talked about wine and night, which is also a kind of fun!

…………

Xiao Feng, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and his body seemed to be pressed against a mountain, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and open his eyes.

At this time, he found that Yu'er was sitting on his chest, pinching his own and giggling, and Nini next to him pressed against him,......。

The 4 little guys simply treated Xiao Feng as a toy and were ravaging to their heart's content, and they were not afraid to see Xiao Feng wake up, shouting for Xiao Feng to get up early and take them to build a snowman!

Xiao Feng got up and opened the curtain to see that the snow outside was at least 20 centimeters, maybe this snow was only insignificant for Montana, but for Los Angeles with a warm winter, it was extremely rare!

"You go downstairs first and wait for Dad to have breakfast together, and then Dad and Mom will take you to build a snowman and have a snowball fight!" Xiao Feng pulled a few elves one by one, rubbed their pink sales with the freshly grown scum, and then kicked them out of the room amid their exclamations.

When they came downstairs, several children complained to their grandmothers, saying that their father's beard was prickly, which made Xue Lihua laugh and scold, they were all fathers of four children, and they were like children.

For Xue Lihua, retiring early and coming to the United States to take care of her children is not an easy thing, and sometimes she even feels more tired than in school.

She doesn't have to worry too much about life at home, after all, she doesn't have to worry about money, many housework are done by housekeepers and maids, and what makes Xue Lihua spend more time and energy is the education of several children.

In the past, when she was teaching in school, Xue Lihua was more about imparting all kinds of exam-oriented education, but now with her own grandchildren, she pays more attention to it.

For example, the children are learning English, French and other languages, and Xue Lihua has no choice but to take the old man to various training classes, so she can't keep up with the rhythm of the children at home, right? In addition, Xue Lihua also learns a little music theory, natural science knowledge, and so on, so as not to know when the children have questions.

In a sense, Xue Lihua's hard work in the past few years is comparable to that of the title exam of the year, but this is also a sweet burden, because being able to grow up with the children also makes the children closer to the elderly.

After Xiao Feng went downstairs, breakfast began, although today is Christmas, but the dining table is still dominated by Chinese breakfast, the chef at home has figured out everyone's appetite and nutritional needs, and made a delicious, nutritious and exquisite breakfast.

The children still have a Western breakfast of milk, eggs, ham slices, vegetable salad and bread, and occasionally they like to eat noodles and other Chinese breakfasts, but milk is indispensable.

As for adults, they are more accustomed to eating steamed buns, porridge or noodles, which also makes the Chinese food skills of the chefs at home skyrocket, which makes the Xiao family quite satisfied.

Xiao Feng hadn't finished breakfast yet, and several villains were already dressed and waiting in the hallway, constantly urging Xiao Feng to hurry up, and he had to stuff the steamed buns into his mouth three times and divide them by two, ending his breakfast.

When you open the door of the main building, you will see a snow-covered scenery in front of you, and the downtown area of Los Angeles has also become a silver world, which looks like a fairy tale world!

A few little people dressed like stupid bears, moving clumsily in the snow, accidentally fell into the snow, causing everyone to laugh haha.

In the manor, the housekeeper William is cleaning the snow with his servants, and the employees of the 'Dream Restaurant' and the 'Dream Winery' are also coming out of the collective dormitory, holding tools to clear the snow, and the whole manor is in full swing.

Everyone also knew that the young masters and young ladies wanted to play in the snow, and they consciously sent the clean snow to the small square in front of the house, piling up into hills, which made the children overjoyed.

For the three-year-old Ping'an'an, snow is a very strange memory, after all, they have never experienced it before, and just listening to their sister and brother talk about the experience of playing in the snow at the Montana ranch already found it quite interesting.

No, when Dad rolled a super large snowball with a diameter of more than two meters in the small square, the two little dolls were suddenly excited, and they also learned to roll a snowball from Dad.

Under Xiao Feng's guidance, the dolls rolled snowballs of different sizes and folded them to make snowmen, and Nini also took her younger siblings back to the storage room at home and turned out a lot of things to decorate the snowman.

Broom, washbasin, carrot, charcoal、...... After a while, the snowmen in various costumes were freshly baked, and the children also named the snowmen, saying that they were made according to the people in the family.

The tallest one is Dad, next to Dad, the snowman with lipstick is Mom, a few of the little snowmen are them, the one with a beard is Grandpa, and the one with a hat is Grandpa,......。

After a while, there were more than a dozen snowmen in the small square, and every time the children thought of any one in the family, they would ask Xiao Feng to make another snowman, which simply became a snowman concentration camp.

Xiao Feng, who rarely accompanies the children for a day, naturally has no objections, and under the command of the children, he works hard and makes dozens of snowmen.

The employees of the manor knew that the boss was being commanded by a few children, and they were also happy to see it, and they sent the snow to the small square one after another, so that Xiao Feng had no chance to be lazy.

Seeing the hippie smiling faces of these employees, Xiao Feng deliberately kept a straight face, saying that he wanted to deduct the year-end bonuses of these people, but unfortunately no one paid attention to his words!

In fact, Xiao Feng has a very high prestige within the group, after all, the core strategy of the establishment of the entire group and subsequent development is handled by Xiao Feng. However, because of Xiao Feng's easy-going personality, there is not much distance between him and the employees, and outside of business, the employees are not afraid of Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng's so-called 'threat' in front of the familiar employees really can't bluff people, instead of reining in, they have intensified their efforts and put forward more requirements to Xiao Feng.

The Xiao Duliang brothers, who were watching the children playing on the side, saw Xiao Feng mingling with the employees, and even being 'bullied' by the employees, but there was still no sign of turning their faces, and the relief in their hearts was needless to say.

In the affairs of the group, Xiao Feng can do everything he can, it is because his prestige is enough, and he makes wise decisions, which is the foundation of the prosperity of the Xiao family;

If the Xiao family wants to continue, an excellent patriarch is indispensable, and from this point of view, Xiao Feng is fully qualified to take charge of the family and lead the clan to a more brilliant tomorrow! )
