Peiping became Beijing, and the Republic of China became the People's Republic of China. The country is still this country, and the home is still this home, but the old social pattern has been broken, and people's lifestyles have changed. Wang Yunqing's hundreds of acres of land in Fenghuangling were distributed to local farmers, and the Wang family had no rich land rent to eat, and they had to live frugally. So the Wang family dismissed the servants, and Mrs. Wang and Gui Fang were in charge of the housework, Wang Yunqing was arranged by the government to work as a cultural and historical researcher in a cultural and historical museum, and Wang Shuzhen, Wang Hongxing and others found stable jobs in society. In Gui Fang's mother's house, Gui Xiang married the veterinarian on the other side of the alley, and the two of them went to Chengde to open a veterinary station, leaving the old Zhao alone in the Zhao family.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the government launched measures to support capitalist industry and commerce, the private entrepreneurs, who were afraid of the government's confiscation of property, were quite confident in establishing and developing various industries. Lao Zhao closed his photo studio and wanted to open a printing house, because of various reasons always stumbled and failed, the shrewd Lao Zhao saw hope in the government's support policies, he didn't want to let go of this good opportunity, to open a printing house more willingly.

The main reason why Lao Zhao couldn't open a washing factory before was the problem of funds, and now the government can provide some low-interest loans to private business owners, and he has some personal funds, leaving a large gap in funds, and Lao Zhao wants to let his son-in-law out.

Since Gui Fang married into the Wang family, Gui Fang seems to have changed as a person, she saw that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were broad-minded and kind-hearted, and she was amiable to herself, regardless of previous suspicions, compared with her father and her own actions, she felt ashamed. Although Gui Fang loves to play tricks and has a unforgiving mouth, she has a smooth and reasonable side, so once she decides that her in-laws are good to her, she will wholeheartedly be the virtuous and filial daughter-in-law of the Wang family and live a good life in the Wang family.

Lao Zhao asked Gui Fang to find a way to get some money from the Wang family several times, but Gui Fang always dragged it absent-mindedly. When Lao Zhao saw Wang Hongxing, he also mentioned that he was in a hurry to find some money, and Wang Hongxing also perfunctory him like Gui Fang. Later, Wang Hongxing was a little impatient when he was entangled by Lao Zhao. He truthfully told Lao Zhao that the financial power of the Wang family was in the hands of his mother, and his mother had to discuss with his father any big expenses, and he and Gui Fang did not have the economic power, so they really couldn't get the funds to help Lao Zhao start a factory. Wang Hongxing's words were frowned upon.

Lao Zhao wants to open a factory but lacks funds, which has become a piece of his heart, so he has a sad face all day long, he can't eat and sleep well, and the whole person is like grass wilted by the sun. One day, Lao Zhao asked someone to bring a letter to Gui Fang saying that he was sick, Gui Fang hurriedly returned home to visit his father, but as soon as Gui Fang entered the door, he saw Lao Zhao frowning and sitting on the Taishi chair smoking! The room was filled with the pungent smell of smoke. Gui Fang asked strangely, "Dad." Aren't you sick? ”

"Gui Fang, my father has a heart disease, and his illness is not shallow! Alas! Lao Zhao saw his daughter coming, pointed to his chest and sighed.

Gui Fang knew his thoughts, so he said, "You are old and sick, and I know it even if you don't say it." ”

"Good girl, then you can cure my heart disease." Lao Zhao showed a pitiful look on his face.

"Dad, it's different now than before, the Wang family's hundreds of acres of land are gone. Now the whole family is eating their money, and even my father-in-law has gone out to work. Don't fight our Wang family's idea in the future! ”

Lao Zhao was unhappy when he heard Gui Fang say this, and he pouted: "What's the matter?" Are you the Wang family now? Your surname is Zhao, and you are my daughter! You forgot about Ben just a few days after you got married! ”

Gui Fang was not willing to be down, and said: "We women marry chickens and dogs. When I entered the Wang's house, I was the Wang's family. ”

"Then you really spilled the water from the girl who got married? I don't have any relatives around me now, so don't you care about your father? Did I raise you for nothing? Lao Zhao looked aggrieved and spoke with a crying tone.

When Gui Fang saw that his father was sad, she comforted him and said, "Dad." Who said it doesn't matter to you, no, as soon as I heard that you were sick. I'm going home in a hurry. You can rest assured, Gui Fang, I will definitely give you a pension! ”

When Lao Zhao heard Gui Fang say this, his face immediately turned cloudy, but he was still embarrassed by the lack of funds to set up a factory. "Gui Fang, I'm looking for you to go home today, or I want you to find me some funds to set up a factory! You have a lot of ideas, there must be a way to get some money from the Wang family, I'll point to you! He couldn't stop begging Gui Fang to help him find a way.

"Oops! I told you it was hard! Gui Fang bitterly persuaded his father not to always be interested in the Wang family, and forget it if he couldn't open the factory. Lao Zhao told Gui Fang that when he was young, he had an ideal in his heart, that is, to reshape the glory of the family in his own hands, even if he couldn't be a nobleman, he had to be a rich man. Now that I am old, it will be a lifelong regret not to start a factory as soon as possible. Lao Zhao shed tears as he spoke, and he said to Gui Fang: "Do you think this is for myself? Not exactly, I also want to fight for the honor of our family, and I want to make a name for myself, so that the family respects our Zhao family as much as the Wang family! Let the ancestors of the Zhao family be proud of their descendants! ”

After all, Gui Fang has a deep relationship with her father, and this time she was really moved by her father's heartfelt words. Gui Fang cried, she put her arms around her father's shoulders and said, "Dad, you are a stubborn old man, and you have made up your mind that nine cows can't be pulled back!" Don't be sad, my daughter will think of a way for you! ”

Lao Zhao turned sad to happy and asked, "Gui Fang, did you really promise to help your father?" ”

"Dad, I'll give it a try. But I want to ask you, can you really make a lot of money by opening a printing house? ”

"No problem! I'm sure I'll make a lot of money, and besides, your father's brain is not comparable to ordinary people, so don't worry about raising money for me! Lao Zhao laughed happily when he said this.

Gui Fang reminded Lao Zhao and said, "Dad, don't be happy too early, I just said to try." Listen to me at home these days. ”

Gui Fang said that she wanted to help her father find a way to raise funds, mainly to comfort him. In fact, where to raise money and how to raise money? Gui Fang's heart didn't have an accurate score, because asking her parents-in-law for money was not right or not, and she couldn't open her mouth, and Hongxing and herself couldn't come up with much money.

One night before going to bed, Gui Fang pretended to ask Wang Hongxing casually: "Hongxing, let me ask you, how much did our eldest sister take after breaking up with Ma Liangchen?" ”

Wang Hongxing said: "Strange! Why did you ask about my sister? ”

"What's so strange about that! She's my sister-in-law. It's all a family, I can't just ask? ”

"Hey! My eldest brother-in-law is a traitor and a spy, and he sold his family property long ago when he was about to be liberated. My sister didn't catch anything except some gold and silver jewelry, how much money do you think she can have now? Wang Hongxing asked rhetorically.

"I don't believe it, did you see the eldest sister wearing a glass jade ring on her hand? Her ring is worth a lot of money! ”

Wang Hongxing was a little unhappy, he said: "You always think that other people's things are good, and the gemstone ring that my mother gave you is a green opal!" ”

Gui Fang asked rhetorically: "I'm not red-eyed!" I am your Wang family, the eldest sister will marry another man sooner or later, do you say that our mother will keep the good jewelry for me or give it to the eldest sister? ”

Wang Hongxing hugged Gui Fang and said, "Fertilizer water does not flow into outsiders' fields." Of course, it's for my daughter-in-law! ”

Gui Fang turned a big corner and got to the point, she said to Wang Hongxing: "My dad has to open a printing factory, you also know this, now he has a little savings in his hand, the government can also borrow part of the money at low interest, and now there is still a part of the funding gap, I want to help him." ”

"Didn't you tell him that we can't come up with the money, how can you help him?" Wang Hongxing was a little absent-minded.

"Can you listen to me before you interject?" Gui Fang was a little unhappy. She continued: "I have an idea that I don't know if I can do it? ”

Wang Hongxing looked at Gui Fang with wide eyes and said, "Don't have bad ideas!" ”

"My dad is doing this favor, and the two of us have helped, and the Wang family can't get the money. We can get some money from your eldest sister. ”

"Huh?" Wang Hongxing had an incomprehensible expression on his face, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Gui Fang pressed a finger to his lips. "The eldest sister has been with Ma Liangchen for so many years, and has stayed in Beijing, Nanjing, Beidaihe, and Chengde for many years. In those years, Ma Liangchen shook the rake and held the money, and your eldest sister opened her pockets to hold the money. I guess she has a lot of private money, but she just hides it and doesn't reveal it. ”

Wang Hongxing couldn't help but say when he heard Gui Fang say this: "My eldest sister is rich, and it is also her pension money, and Ma Liangchen made her pregnant before he died, leaving a seed of evil, and their mothers are hard enough." I advise you not to beat her mind! ”

"Whoever hit her idea, I'm trying to find a way to help her. You're thinking crookedly! Hmph 1" Gui Fang glanced at Wang Hongxing.

"Okay, I won't interject. I'd like to hear how you can help my eldest sister? ”

"If your eldest sister puts the money in her pocket, it is dead money, she can take out some money to invest in my father's factory, and the money will become alive, and in the future, this money will earn two, two will earn three, and three will earn six, and the more you will earn in the future, do you think I am helping the eldest sister?"

"I don't see it, you go on."

"If the eldest sister lends money to my dad, my dad gives her a high interest, and both parties write a note as proof, and then my dad makes money and even returns it to the eldest sister with interest, and the eldest sister will make a steady profit while sitting. If the eldest sister counts her money as an investment, the factory will give her shares in proportion to the shares, so that she can enjoy share dividends as a shareholder. It's not much better than the little salary she earns when she goes to work all day! Do you think I'm helping my eldest sister? After Gui Fang finished speaking, he tapped Wang Hongxing's head with his finger.

Wang Hongxing suddenly realized, he laughed, "Haha! Gui Fang, your brain can really wander, I really obey you! ”

"If you don't accept me, you can't do it!" Gui Fang said proudly.

"Oh, that's not right! You're talking about making money, so what if you lose money? The smile on Wang Hongxing's face immediately disappeared again.

Gui Fang said with a package ticket: "You can rest assured! As far as my dad's head is concerned, who can compare to ordinary people? If he runs a business and a factory, he is definitely a good hand! Let me tell you, my father's eyes are very poisonous, and he will definitely see that the printing industry can make a lot of money. And one of his friends really made a lot of money when he opened a printing shop, and now he is making a lot of money! My dad absolutely made a fortune opening a printing shop! ”

Wang Hongxing's eyes lit up when Gui Fang said, and he hurriedly asked: "Gui Fang, such a good thing, do we want to participate in it?" ”

"We have the money to participate in the shares, my idea is that we can't be busy in vain, let's find money for my father, he has to send us dry shares, and I have to ask him to give you an official like a factory director and director, this is called a father and daughter to settle accounts!"

Wang Hongxing asked embarrassedly: "Is this appropriate?" ”

Gui Fang looked at Wang Hongxing with disdain and said, "What's inappropriate?" When did you get thicker, and when did you get to do great things! My dad doesn't have a son, he's my dad, he's your father-in-law, and you're half of his son. In the future, we will have a child, and this child will be the descendant of the Wang family and the descendant of our Zhao family. He set up a factory to earn face for the Zhao family, and secondly, to pass it on to future generations. Wouldn't it be better for you to start a business with him! Besides, you are working as an errand for others now, and you are working hard to earn money for others, how spirited you should be when you become the director of our own factory in the future! ”

Wang Hongxing smiled and said: "But it's also, a son-in-law is half a son!" What's wrong with that. All right! I'm going to be a factory director, and that's a good thing! He happily slapped his thigh hard.

Gui Fang pushed him on the shoulder: "you, don't be happy too early!" I'm just saying, the money hasn't gotten in hand yet! ”

"I'm going to my sister."

Gui Fang said: "You have to go to this matter, others can't say it." ”

Wang Hongxing Hongxing prevaricated and said: "You are not going to go, I can't speak, I have to tell this matter yellow." No, you have to go on this errand. ”

Gui Fang pouted and slapped Hongxing, "You are a wreck, you can't leave your wife!" Forget it, let's go to the eldest sister together one day! ”

Wang Hong raised his eyes and rolled his eyes and said, "Gui Fang, I think we might as well invite the eldest sister to have a meal outside, saying it at the dinner table is better than saying it at home." My eldest sister is thin-skinned and soft-eared, as long as the two of us have good wine and good food at the dinner table, and say a lot of words that make her ears, we can bring the eldest sister's heart to life. Gui Fang, do you say? ”

When Wang Hongxing said this, she smiled at what Gui Fang said, she hugged Wang Hongxing's neck and said, "Ouch! My men are getting smarter!

Wang Hongxing played tricks and said: "Thank you for your wife's praise, this is not something I learned from your master!" ”

Gui Fang said very proudly: "This is that if there is a wife, there must be a husband, and the wife sings with the husband!" ”

Wang Hongxing hugged his daughter-in-law in his arms and said with a smile: "Gui Fang, if I talk to you about digging out my heart, with such a smart and capable daughter-in-law as you, I have saved a lot of worry, you are better than me, and I will recognize my wife and husband all my life!"
