Chapter 343: The Glorious Past
"Grandpa, what did you say? - Cancellation of ...... The family's marriage policy??! β
Song Meiyuan was stunned for a while, and saw that her grandfather was still smiling calmly, not as if he was joking, so she finally exclaimed.
"Hmm." Old Ghost Song nodded slowly, the doting look in his eyes became more and more obvious, "When did Grandpa ever joke?" - Hehe, I'm serious this time. β
"Grandpa......"
Song Meiyuan is not a stupid girl, such a big girl, she grew up by her grandfather's side since she was a child, it is impossible not to know her grandfather's temper.
Old man Song, old ghost Song, Song Jiang.
A generation of ghost males in the capital.
is a character who never speaks, although he is not a gentleman, but there is no joke.
Relying on "marriage" to make a fortune is really a bit disagreeable. When Mr. Song gradually stepped into success, he also suffered the infamy of the outside world. But later, his unique style of doing things and his style of writing a thousand words made him a big man admired by everyone in the wealthy circles in Beijing.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the capital again.
As mentioned before, among the four heavenly kings of the capital, there are the current head of the Pan family, "King Pan", and the current head of the Xu family, "Xu Qianqian", and the third "Shang King" of the Han family, Han Zhennan.
And the third is the old man Song of the Song family.
Old man Song became famous late, after all, the family tradition and implementation policy of marriage is a long-term planned investment, and the results are relatively late, so when he was fifty years old, he officially entered the top wealthy circle in Beijing, and then it took a few years to use his huge interpersonal relationships, as well as his unique vision and style of doing things, to gradually emerge in the top wealthy circle with many talents, and then make everyone stunned.
coincided with that time, it was the era of the strong rise of King Pan, Xu Qianqian, and Han Laosan.
So, in the ranks of the "Four Heavenly Kings", Old Man Song was naturally put in.
Note that the last mention of the old man Song Song Jiang does not mean that he is the end of the four heavenly kings. -- but in the first place!
The head of the Four Heavenly Kings, Song Jiang.
The heirs of wealthy families born and raised in Beijing are known to everyone and no one knows.
Although the other three were on the wrong side of him, no one used it to ridicule him.
In other words, Old Man Song is an inspirational model of the Chinese country.
Few people in the world know what Old Man Song did when he was young.
He was born in the war-torn years when both his parents died, and it is said that his ancestral home is in Foshan, a place where heroes are born. Later, he was lonely, dragging his skinny body, and moved north to the Central Plains, when he was only a teenager, to say an unceremonious word, adhering to the belief in saving the country and saving the people in his heart, his thin body, holding a tattered porcelain bowl picked up in a garbage heap, begging for food all the way to Nanjing.
With bad luck, he caught up with the cruel Nanjing Massacre, and he was alone, holding a pig-killing knife from the butcher's house at the head of the village, and slaughtered more than 20 little devils in his sleep overnight. Then, when the enemy's reinforcements did not arrive, he fled from the dilapidated village that was being swept away with less than three families in a village that had been killed.
He was too small and too thin, and the combat troops did not dare to accept him, so he made a handful of trolls and followed the peasant guards from Nanjing, all the way to the north.
In this way, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was excited for several days and nights without sleeping.
However, what followed came problems in life.
So he picked up the broken porcelain bowl again and began to beg for food. It wasn't until he arrived in the capital that he began to work as coolies.
From the age of 20 to 30, he did everything, as a dock hauler, a stevedore, a textile factory worker, a yarn factory security guard, and even shaved tree bark to eat during natural disasters, and later went to dig up dung.
Later, he finally found a stable job as a workshop worker in a machinery factory in Beijing. There, he met the very important woman in his life, that is, his wife later, Song Meiyuan, and Song Zhihan's grandmother.
After getting married, Song Jiang finally came to work, he followed a friend he met on the factory floor, went to the south to do business, where dragons and snakes were mixed, and a few years later, he returned to the capital with hundreds of thousands of assets. It's a pity that the friend who went to the south with him to go to the sea was killed by a group of robbers. And Song Jiang almost gave his life to the south, and the shocking scar on his back from the opening of the iron hook is still lying quietly on his back, forever telling the chaotic era of madness and surprises.
The so-called catastrophe does not die, and there will be blessings.
Song Jiang, who was in the prime of life, used his hundreds of thousands of assets to start his struggle for a wealthy family in the capital......
And after that, it was smooth sailing, unlike the native Beijing wealthy, Song Jiang killed devils, dealt with death, and had a male blood belonging to the Chinese nation in his bones, with his momentum, and that innate unique vision, the scenery occupied a place in the upper class society of the capital.
In this way, it is now in the blink of an eye.
Old Man Song is like a titan in the capital's wealthy families.
The head of the Four Heavenly Kings, for him who was born to beg for food, today's glory is so precious! Rare!
β¦β¦ About the story of grandpa, Song Meiyuan, I heard my grandfather tell it in person.
To tell the truth, there are no more than three people in the entire Song family, young and old, who know such a history of hard struggle of Old Man Song.
Therefore, for this grandfather of herself, Song Meiyuan, is the kind of respect and love that is almost looking up.
"Girl, grandpa knows that our family's marriage tradition is despised by many people. But it is this tradition that has allowed our family to expand rapidly from a small nouveau riche to today. From the first day my grandfather came to the capital, my grandfather knew that here, everything was about means. At that time, my grandfather was anxious to revitalize the family, so he chose such a crooked and evil way...... Hehe......" Speaking of this, Old Man Song shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly.
"Grandpa, Meiyuan understands you." Song Meiyuan looked at Old Man Song with a firm gaze, "If it weren't for this tradition set by Grandpa, our family would definitely not have the status it has today." β
"But...... Now, that tradition is changing. Speaking of this, Old Man Song stood up, turned around slightly, slowly paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the towering high-rise buildings outside, the face on his face seemed to be a little older, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes were faintly filled with a smile, "Back then, our Song family was not as good as now, as a nouveau riche, delusional to enter the upper circle of a wealthy family, it is undoubtedly like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats. -- Now it's different, we already have enough connections, although we can continue to expand, so that in a few decades or even hundreds of years, maybe our Song family will become the largest family in the whole of Huaxia. Grandpa thought that this was always what I wanted the most. But these days, Grandpa has figured out a lot of things, and Grandpa has found out ...... What Grandpa really wants, it's not these ......"
Song Meiyuan could hear it, although her grandfather was the most favored granddaughter, she rarely saw her grandfather show such a sentimental melancholy appearance, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask: "That...... Grandpa, what do you really want? β
Old Man Song suddenly smiled when he heard this, his eyes were full of love, he came back to his senses, slowly walked to Song Meiyuan's side and sat down again, and then gently stroked his precious granddaughter's head, melon seeds, and said kindly: "What Grandpa wants the most...... Of course, it's the smile of the baby girl. β
"Grandpa! - "Hearing this, Song Meiyuan suddenly choked in her throat, felt a warm current in her chest, and was caught off guard, tears flowed in her beautiful eyes, and then burst into tears.
Moved, she suddenly fell into her grandfather's arms, just like when she was a child, smelling the smell of old tobacco on her grandfather's body, and listening to her grandfather's memories of his eventful past. At this moment, Song Meiyuan is no longer the female robber Song Xiaoniu, but a weak girl.
Grandpa spoke, and the family wanted to change the tradition, just to make her granddaughter smile.
This kind of fatherly love that is as heavy as a mountain, Song Meiyuan clearly felt it from her grandfather. In fact, Song Meiyuan's father is not bad to his daughter, but her father is just a mediocre talent who follows the rules under the success of the old man Song Jiang and Song, and naturally, he does not have the courage and power of his grandfather. It is true that Song Meiyuan's father, not even the eldest son, is not a descendant, and he has no right to say anything like "abolishing the family marriage policy".
This is the foundation of the Song family, which was founded by Song Meiyuan's grandfather, Old Man Song, and if it is to be abolished, it must be done by himself through his hands.
"Now our family status is already very high, so there is no need to do such a compromised thing as marriage, grandpa has thought clearly, what grand ambitions are not as important as the happiness of the family." Old Man Song smiled and gently wiped away the tears on Song Meiyuan's face, "Little girl, such a big girl, what are you crying about, wipe it quickly, at today's dinner, grandpa is still counting on letting my beautiful baby granddaughter give our old Song family a face." β
"Grandpa, you said me again, your granddaughter is ugly and dead...... Hearing her grandfather's praise, Song Meiyuan burst into tears and laughed, but her expression was a little gloomy.
Old Man Song is a well-lived character, his eyes are sharp, and he can find the deep meaning in Song Meiyuan's eyes at a glance. ββThe girl showed this look, and it was clear that her heart belonged......
"Oh?" Old Man Song smiled, "Girl, tell me, how is that young man?" β
"Uh-huh???" Song Meiyuan was stunned when she heard this, a trace of shyness flashed on her face, Hongxia flew up her cheeks, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa~~ What did you say?" ~~β
