Chapter 172: After the Tribulation 1

"Ah Hui, our family is different from other people's families, you will know it slowly. In my father's view, work is not a very important thing, he asks us not to work for the sake of work, but to work for the sake of life, and everyone in our family must focus on the overall situation. He doesn't want us to be too focused on our work, and the greater the hope, the more hurt we will suffer if it is shattered, you know. For us, even if a company is gone, as long as the people are still there! It's been more than a year since we both came to India, it's time to go back and see, the country has changed a lot, and I can't say you, so it's just like this! Guokang couldn't hide from it, so he had to explain in detail.

"But that's not necessary, I can't listen to what you say, like a calculating person." Liu Huifeng was still a little angry, feeling that he had been deceived.

"Otherwise, can you go back? You, according to Dad, are a workaholic like Gigi's mother, once you get to work, you don't care about anything. Guokang said with a smile.

"Then why don't you wait, I guess it'll be over in a few months, and we'll wait here for another two months, just two months, okay?" Liu Huifeng tried to convince her husband that she was not sure of changing Beijing's intentions, so she had to find a breakthrough from him.

"I can't be the master of this, my father will definitely not agree, life here is too hard, and everyone is not at ease." Guokang completely dispelled his wife's intentions, in their family, although the father listened to the mothers, everyone knew that the mothers were really obedient to the father.

The couple finally said goodbye to their relatives in India, took a flight from Mumbai to Beijing in mid-November 38, transferred to Bangkok, and returned to Beijing. I couldn't see the changes in society on the plane, but when I got off the plane, the two still felt the difference in atmosphere. Although the aviation industry has not yet fully recovered, and passengers and flights are still scarce, leaving the airport, especially close to the suburbs, you can feel a clear difference from India. Although the weather in the north has been very cold, but the streets have more vehicles, many hotels and shops along the street have been opened, a busy atmosphere has gradually risen, although there are still few customers, but since it has been opened, it means that the economy has begun to recover, and consumption has gradually improved. "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet", and the sensitivity of businessmen to business opportunities is also very direct, as soon as there is a wind and grass, they are the first to know! Of course, no matter how you look at it, today's street markets are not as good as before, and there are still many that can be closed, and from time to time you see hotels that are closed, and some buildings are still dim and unlit......

For these businesses that have not yet opened, generally speaking, there are two explanations, one is that they are still waiting, and the other is that they are closed down or unable to open their doors, waiting for the opportunity to make a move, and the intention of saving funds is to make a comeback! Ten hotels, at least five have not yet opened, ten shops, and at least two or three are closed, TV news said that the country has entered a period of economic recovery, this year's rise is still relatively large, but Guokang and the two are still a little unconvinced. Of course, they know that Beijing and New Delhi are not the same as the capitals. That can be regarded as an economic recovery, but at least this shows that the economic crisis has not yet passed, and the society has not completely come out of the shadow of the economic crisis. The West Garden is relatively different from the rest of Beijing, except for the occasional silence in the villas along the road, most of them have a lot of life, and the Li family compound is even more vibrant.

Guokang has not been home for nearly two years, and has been away from home for a long time before, but it is in China, and he does not feel homesick; Now, he really wanted to see his parents and other brothers, he wanted to hear his mother's kind care, and he wanted to hear some serious reprimands from his father...... But when I saw them, I couldn't speak, and I had a thousand words in my heart, all of which turned into a sentence of "Dad"! Dad is obviously old, and moms are no longer young, and for a moment, they can't say a word, just call "Dad... Mom", she couldn't speak, her eyes were moist, and her voice was a little choked...... For more than twenty years, he never knew he thought of them that way!

"It's such a big person, and I'm still crying. You're about to become a father, aren't you afraid that your nephews will laugh at you? Seeing his son's appearance, Li Mengze's heart was also churning, every son and daughter-in-law came back from India, he had similar feelings, these were his descendants, and they were the pride of his life, but he always couldn't help but frustrate them, "Huifeng, don't blame me!" India is good, but you can't ignore your family! ”

It's a pity that Li Mengze's words were interrupted before he finished speaking, there are not many people who can have such great ability in the Li family compound, but there are really a lot, someone has to stay aside, it's okay, it's all over. He and his wife have a very clear division of labor, often he sings blackface, and several ladies pretend to be red-faced, and always appear after he has finished black-faced, and only appears to play red-faced. We all know that dad often says something wrong, makes a request, and then the moms solve the problem for them, who accidentally cuts his finger, a mother will immediately lead it to bandage, who fights with someone, the mother will lead it to apologize to others, it is difficult to please in front of the father, but can always be coquettish in front of the mother.

As soon as he got home, Guokang was a little stunned, he was not afraid of his father, nor was he worried about his sisters-in-law dealing with him, what made him afraid was those nephews, nieces and nephews, good guys, a few would run around immediately, "Uncle Fourteen, Uncle Fourteen" pulled his clothes and shouted, some of them climbed up along his trouser legs, so panicked that he hurriedly hugged them one by one, kissed them twice, and worked hard for a long time before he broke free. Most of the younger generations of the Li family are more afraid of their fathers, and they don't provoke their uncles much, but this time, they have been separated for too long, and the tiger has not been powerful for a long time. There are a few movements that are very large, poor Guokang, one by one, those sisters-in-law at home, seeing that he has no intention of asking for help, deliberately turn a blind eye, and even the maids stand aside and do not help; Liu Huifeng was a little distressed, but she was pulled by her sisters-in-law to ask for warmth, and she couldn't get out of her concern, which made her feel weak and powerless. Before they lived in Beijing for two days, Li Mengze drove them back to Nanjing, he was very fond of these favors, and it should be said that his in-laws missed the children more than them, after all, they were their daughters!

It is true that the domestic economy is recovering much faster than India, which is evident from their travel experiences. The two take the high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai, generally speaking, traveling by train is something that the Li family is accustomed to, and the means of transportation for long-distance travel are trains, planes and cars, as long as the time is not tight, as long as it is more convenient to take the train, they are used to taking the train, for this, the agreed explanation is "more people". Unlike India, the domestic transport industry is operating relatively well, and although there are significantly fewer passengers than before, there are still a lot of passengers due to the large population base. At the same time, due to the relatively abundant reserve funds of the government, although the losses of the transportation industry are also relatively large, it is easier to do things with more money, and under the guidance of the principle that "the development of the economy should give priority to doing a good job in transportation," the railways and highways, especially the railway system, have been injected on a large scale, and the state-owned railway companies have been operating vigorously. The number of passengers is the best reflection of the current state of the economy, no money in hand or precarious, who is in the mood to travel far! Therefore, the couple strongly felt the difference between China and India. The train passed through countless cities and towns along the way, although these towns have not yet recovered, the vitality has been revealed, even if it is just a flash of sightseeing, the mood of the two is gradually happy; But after passing Xuzhou, especially after entering southern Jiangsu, Liu Huifeng's mood began to become nervous, and a nameless pressure made her a little uneasy...... Gently stroking the woman's shoulder, Guokang silently comforted the woman who was more timid in her hometown!

Nanjing Liu also knew that his daughter and son-in-law had returned from India, and knew that they would soon return to Nanjing. At this time, Liu Huashan can be said to have mixed feelings, more than a year, no, it should be said that more than three years, he has lost the glory of the past, the sudden arrival of the economic crisis, so that the Liu's real estate that has been hard to support for more than 20 years disappeared in an instant, although the failure has long been premonited, but it is really to the time when there is nothing, but still can't accept it. Liu's real estate disappeared in an instant, and he became a victim of the economic crisis, which made him lose the company he was comfortable with, the mansion they lived in, and the relatives and friends he had been friends for many years...... In the past, although Liu's real estate was difficult, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and no one despised Liu's, the entire Nanjing City, that is, in the Yangtze River Delta region, and even Shanghai, where wealthy businessmen gathered, people still regarded Liu Huashan as a figure and flattered him in person. In any case, he feels that he is still a character, and he is still the number one in the real estate world; Relatives and friends revolve around him, which also makes him happy, everyone still knows Liu, everyone looks up to Liu! However, as soon as the Liu family collapsed, as soon as the Liu family's real estate left, people immediately left, and even the mansion was requisitioned by the bank to pay off the debt, and the family had nowhere to live. Finally settled down, but relatives and friends didn't even say a greeting, he Liuhuashan hasn't left yet, why is the tea cold, in case one day, his old bones are gone, is it that the descendants of the Liu family don't even have a look. There is nothing to do, he has been depressed, this world has really chilled him, even a few friends who took the initiative to form a family have disappeared all of a sudden, it seems that the Liu family is really finished, it is really forgotten! Sometimes, he also comforts himself, the crisis is so serious, everyone is having a hard time, and self-protection is not necessarily good, not to mention that he has also moved, maybe relatives and friends don't know, right? But after waiting for a long time, no one paid attention to them, and after trying to make one or two phone calls, my heart was completely cold; But just when he was disheartened, the Li family broke into the life of the Liu family again!

Hua Shan naturally knows the wealth of the fairy, and also knows that the West Star Company has a lot of money, and he has been in the mall for a long time, so he is still familiar with these two companies. In China, people engaged in real estate will not be unaware of Xixing, no matter from which point of view, Xixing is the No. 1 big company; And if you care about Xixing, you can't help but pay attention to the fairy. In the real estate industry, all those who do not consider Xixing and fairies together have no good end, when Donglin Group was suppressed by Xixing, Donglin Electronics was eaten by fairies, and Yunshan Group was also bullied by fairies while being suppressed by Xixing; And large real estate companies such as Huangpu and Oriental have forgotten about fairies and have been severely humiliated, which has become a well-known thing in the industry. Of course, people who care about fairies also pay attention to Xixing, which also has a precedent and lesson! People also know how powerful and rich the Li family behind the fairy and Xixing is, so Liu Huashan once had some kind of fantasy about Guokang, the fourteenth son of the Li family. When Li Guokang came to Liu's new home, Liu Huashan couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, as if fate favored them again!

I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, although the West Star Company is strong and domineering, and has provoked many tough opponents, it has almost never provoked Liu's Real Estate, whether the other party disdains to play with himself, or does not want to take advantage of others' danger, to speak from the heart, he is still very grateful to the West Star Company, because the West Star Company can completely eat the Liu family, and squeeze and share the Liu family little by little, in that way, it may not be able to support the economic crisis. Therefore, although the major merchants were dissatisfied with the Li family, he was still very willing to be kind to the other party, but the Li family refused without hesitation, which made him completely cold. More than a year ago, Li Mengze refused to invest in Liu's real estate, extincting all the thoughts of Liuhuashan's comeback, when one ten-thousandth of hope is shattered, can a person not despair? Speaking from the heart, if they hadn't met Li Guokang and didn't ask for Li's, then they wouldn't mind if Li's investment was not invested, but their daughter went to ask for it in person, but was categorically refused, so that the family couldn't help but hate Li, and even resented Li Guokang. They also know that it shouldn't be like this, but people's psychology is so subtle, so they have Liu Fengyuan and Li Guokang's moves.

To the old man's surprise, his daughter really fell in love with the Li family's son, her sadness, her haggardness, and all subsequent manifestations made him surprised, worried, and worried. From the bottom of his heart, he still likes this young man very much, no matter whether he is suspicious or angry, this young man is indeed very good, easy-going, polite, elegant in conversation, there is no problem with a gentleman at all, not at all like the young master of a rich and noble family, such a young man, especially a young man of noble birth, is very rare. Of course, the reason why he was worried was also because he knew that this young man was not easy to provoke, and when he was angry, even his long-standing self shuddered, and that kind of resolute bearing made people can't help but feel cold; But when his daughter really dated him, Liu Huashan felt angry again.

Li Guokang and Liu Huifeng fell in love, although it was not publicized, but it still spread in a small area, although the news did not spread quickly, but when the two of them left Shanghai, especially after the two went to India together, many people in Nanjing City knew. Liu Huashan's relatives and friends in the past all called to inquire, all of them looked concerned, and they couldn't stop giving them ideas, what "rare opportunity", "the Li family is rich", and "Don't be deceived, you have been played by rich people"...... There are all kinds of concerns, and sometimes, even Liu Huashan himself is a little nervous! His sister, who has not been in contact with him for a long time, came to the "Liu's new home" in person and carefully told her younger brother, "Our girl is small and ignorant, don't let the rich be deceived, the rich are bad, especially the Li family, who is very lustful." Hui'er is something I've watched since I was a child, so we can't afford to suffer", Mrs. Liu was worried, and kept urging her husband and son to make up her mind, but there was no way, Liu Fengyuan had to download the personal life information of the young man of the Li family on the Internet, and only when the family did not find a person with a bad record of private life could he settle down. But since then, Liu's new home has quickly become lively, relatives and friends who have not moved for a long time have called to inquire, and even come to the door in person to care about the life of old friends, invite old friends to drink morning tea, and even enthusiastically introduce work to Liu Fengyuan; Especially when everyone confirmed Liu Huifeng's marriage, there was an endless stream of visits, but no one introduced a job to Master Liu anymore, which made Liu Fengyuan, who urgently needed to earn money to support his family, angry and wanted to scold!

The living expenses of Liu Huashan's family are now all supported by Mrs. Liu's savings, because all the family property was requisitioned by the bank to pay off the debt, except for some "dowry" that Mrs. Liu "brought over", nothing was left, and even the house where she lives now is rented, and because there is no income, life is quite poor, and she can't even put up a shelf, let alone a car and other means of transportation. It can be said that in addition to being invited to a few free meals, they did not get any exact benefits from the Li family, when Liu Huifeng married Li Guokang, Li Mengze personally called to ask if there were any difficulties in the life of his in-laws, but Liu Huashan loved face, and insisted on saying "It's okay", since then, the Li family called again, and never mentioned economic matters, just informed Liu Huifeng of their situation in India and "politely" invited the Liu family to "live in Beijing", didn't mention the introduction of work for Liu Fengyuan. This made the Liu family hate and scold, and of course, they complained a lot. The people of the Liu family have died to their in-laws, and those relatives and friends have not moved when they see the Liu family, and there is no trace of "one person has attained the Tao, immortals and chickens and dogs", and over time, they no longer care about the Liu family, and even laugh at the Liu family while scolding the "unstoppable" Li family!
