Chapter 19: Wang Chao returns home
After a while, I remembered the sound of the car outside the door, from far to near, stopped in front of the door, and then remembered the child's cry outside the door: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm Ding Ding, I'm coming to see you, have you made me something to eat?"
"Hey, my child, just push the door and come in, it's all your grandfather's fault, what are the rules", said the old lady and walked out of the kitchen with an apron.
After the door opened, there were three people standing outside, a couple of about 40 years old Zhongnan couple, the man combed his back hair, his face was somewhat similar to Yu Lao, the woman's demeanor was graceful, and the maintenance was like a 30-year-old, and there was a 7 or 8-year-old boy standing in front of them, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, white teeth and red lips, which was endearing, it was the old man's second son's family.
Called them in, Yu Lao also walked out of the room, saw the little grandson with a smile on his face and said: "Little Ding Ding, come and let grandpa see, yo has grown taller again, let grandpa hug him", after saying that, he picked up the boy and put it directly on his shoulder, and then turned around in the courtyard, making the child giggle and giggle.
The middle-aged man saw that the old man was happy today, and his expression gradually eased, and then said, "Ding Ding, come down, don't let grandpa get tired."
"I want you to take care of it, this is my grandson, I'm tired and happy", Yu Lao shouted to the second child dissatisfied.
"You old man, the children come to see you, look at your energy, you won't come in the future, you still have to be scared" The old lady said to the second daughter-in-law, "Huiying, you come in quickly, don't stand in the yard."
The two of them glanced at each other, shook their heads, and smiled bitterly.
When I entered the room, the second daughter-in-law saw that she was making dumplings, washed her hands and hurried to help, and the second daughter asked: "Mom, you have been in good health recently, why is my dad so angry today."
"We are nothing, the body is very tough, it is your father, today I met a young man named Wang Chao, I like it very much, it is said that they have a genius in the Xingyi Gate, there is no master, your father wants to pass on the art on behalf of the teacher, but unfortunately people practice it as a hobby, and do not take learning martial arts seriously at all, your father does not give up, persuaded for a long time, and is ready to take him to see you Uncle Li, I estimate it is difficult."
"Ah, it's rare to be able to make my dad appreciate, how good a person can be in my dad's eyes, how old is mom?"
"I'm not young, I guess it's 30."
"Can you still develop much if you practice martial arts at this age?"
"That person is also better than you, and it's not a little bit of a star", the old man came into the room and interjected: "People are talented, not by hard work can be learned, that move is stronger than me, alas, it's a pity"
"Okay old man, don't think about this, you've practiced all your life, and I haven't seen how good you are, and now in this society, people who know martial arts can't eat it. Besides, it's a pleasure for the children to come today, don't make a face all day long, no one owes you money."
"Money money, money, I see that now the society has changed, everyone looks to money, the good things left by the ancestors have been exchanged for money, look at the taekwondo gym carried out by South Korea in our country, this thing originally originated from our country's martial arts, and then spread to ancient North Korea, the establishment of the Tang Hand Society, and later changed to call Hualang Dao, and later changed to what taekwondo by the Koreans, the carving insect skills have now become all shijie are practicing, and our authentic national arts, but obscure, What a shame on the ancestors."
"Dad, now our country is still very weak, when we are strong, all the things that should be ours will come back sooner or later", the second child hurriedly comforted the old man.
"Well, maybe, but I guess I won't see that day," the old man was a little depressed.
Seeing that the old man's mood was a little low, the second child quickly changed the topic: "Dad, what is that Wang Chao you are talking about?" What did he practice? ”。
"He said I don't have a job right now and I'm ready to do something on my own. If you want to talk about martial arts, he practices the three-seven-step three-body pile handed down by Guo Yunshen's ancestor in our Xingyi Gate, and the one that beats the five elements is called a beautiful, at first glance, it is actually a real battle, there is no bit of work at all, and I can't compare, that is called real martial arts, and it is the real ability to defend oneself and kill people."
The second child not only paid attention when he heard this, but thought: I must meet this young man when I have the opportunity in the future, it is really rare to be so appreciated by the old man, but this is also a dangerous character, those who really practice martial arts are forbidden by martial arts, but fortunately, he is practicing as a hobby, and he is not really included in the door strong.
……
Wang Chao returned home and saw that the time was already 11 o'clock, so he drove straight to the hotel.
I went to the hotel and found a private room. Since Wang Chao has money, although he still comes to the original restaurant, he no longer eats in the lobby, and always asks for a private room every time, so that it is convenient to talk.
After ordering the food, let the restaurant serve the food at 12:20, and then wait for the arrival of the second child.
Just at 12:10, the second child rushed over, entered the private room, took off his coat and shouted to Wang Chao: "Second child, have you ordered good food, I still have to go to Jinling on a business trip at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and I will come back in about a week, and then you kid will have to send me."
"Yo, why do you have to go on a business trip now, I remember that you rarely go out before."
"This time I went to meet a foreign businessman, a Japanese person, and was going to talk about a project, and if it was successful, that guy would come to Yanjing to invest. By the way, what's going on with you kid today! ”。
"Then I wish you success in advance. I don't have anything else to do, I want to consult with you about registering a company, I want to register a company, do cultural relics and antiques."
"Okay, anyway, your kid is rich now, so it's okay to register a company. Well, it's easy to register a company now, generally as long as you have a registered capital of more than 2 million, and then hire a staff member who has obtained a professional jishu position in cultural relics and museums above the intermediate level, and has the place, facilities and jishu conditions to retain cultural relics. When the second child arrives, you have to take me to make money together, you can't make a fortune alone."
"Second brother, this is a must, how many years have our brothers paid the money, I can't forget you."
"This is a good brother, so let's do it, when I come back from a business trip, I'll help you run these procedures, I'm familiar with them."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."
So the two brothers opened the cup and changed the lamp and drank, but in the afternoon the second child was going on a business trip, and Wang Chao drank averagely, and he didn't drink much, and then Wang Chao drove the second child to the airport, but he didn't expect a little female secretary to wait for him, it turned out that he was not on a business trip alone, Wang Chao cast an ambiguous look at him, and the second child replied to him seriously: "I'm leaving, you go back, remember to pick me up when I come back", after speaking, ignoring Wang Chao's eyes that could kill him, turned around and boarded the plane with the female secretary.
Wang Chao returned home and thought about it: I now have a certain amount of capital, and the company's affairs will be talked about when the second child comes back, so I will go back to my hometown first, and if my parents are willing, I will take them over, and after a lifetime of hard work, I can finally rest and rest.
Wang Chao's hometown is in the East Hebei Plain, a place rich in Lao Bai dry wine, people here have lived in this land for generations, rarely out of the nobles, not much rich people, basically based on agricultural income, so the environment is very good, there is not so much haze, there is not so much exhaust gas and industrial wastewater, waste gas, there is the largest wetland in North China: Hengzhong Lake.
Hengzhong Lake has been formed more than 4,000 years ago and has a long history, with as many as 11 names alone.
In the "Historical Records", they are called "Yang Xuan" and "Guang Aze".
"Hanshu" contains: "Xindu County has Jiangshui, called Xindu Jiang".
Zhao Xuan, the assassin of the Sui Dynasty, once built a canal to irrigate farmland with drinking water at Ge Rongpi, and people also called it "Zhao Xuan Canal"
The Ming version of "True Determination" cloud: "Hengzhong Lake is named Jiheng Dawa".
In the Qing Dynasty's "Wu Rulun Diary": "It is the former Ge Rongpi also".
He Tao of the Qing Dynasty called it "Hengzhongwa".
In the Republic of China, they are called "Boguang Pond", "Beimarsh" and "Haizi".
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Gao Jingtao took the lead, petitioned the official to send people, convened friends to help survey the size of its area, and learned that the total area was more than 97,000 acres, nearly 1,000 hectares, so it was named "Qianqing Wa", and then it was used until the end of the 20th century, and then it was changed to "Hengzhong Lake" by the local government.
Hengzhong Lake has sufficient water source, it is currently the largest freshwater lake in North China, the water quality here is excellent, the tidal flats, swamps, meadows, reeds and woodlands constitute a natural wetland ecosystem, there are more than 300 kinds of birds that inhabit each year, there are red-crowned cranes, white cranes, black owls and other national first-class and second-class protected animals, and there are common wild ducks, pheasants, etc., people and birds coexist in the lake,
"Come to the fisherman's house as a guest, and return to the drunken autumn wind. The sound of falling geese is the sunset, and the source of the cooking smoke is Yunxia" is the most haode portrayal of the scenery of Hengzhong Lake.
It's a pity that although this is the place of the earth spirit, but there are no outstanding people, the local people do not have much happiness, the people here have lived on agriculture for generations, their ancestors have been born in the soil for generations, buried in the ground, although there is a good day, but there is no intention to watch.
Wang Chao's home is about 5 miles away from Hengzhong Lake in a small village, there are less than 600 people in the village, most of them are surnamed Wang, good neighbors and friendly people, the road is not forgotten, and quarrels rarely occur. In recent years, the cement road has been repaired, the road is easy to walk, but it is a little narrow, along the way to let the car almost rub off the reflector, "it seems that the future will come back either to the evening, when there are few cars on the road, or to buy a small noodle, good wrong car".
After a while, I arrived home, Wang Chao's home is in the east of the village, next to the road, the yard is spacious, but the house is an old house, and it is precisely because of this that there are not many people in their 30s who come to say goodbye, Wang Chao's father is preparing to build a new house for the New Year.
Wang Chao arrived home at noon, opened the car door, and parked the car directly, his father heard the voice and walked out of the house, "Ah, Chao, where did you come from this car, it's really magnificent"
"Dad, this is our own car, I have done some business with my friends now to make some money, bought a car, this time I came back to take you to Yanjing to live, I bought a three-bedroom house there", Wang Chao did not elaborate on his experience of making a fortune, just a pass.
"It's out of here.,When is this?,Why didn't you say it last time you called."
"Dad, this is what happened in the last two months, don't worry, your son is doing a legitimate business, and he won't do that trick and kidnapping", saying that the two walked into the house, Wang Chao's mother also walked out of the kitchen, followed into the main room and asked: "Chao, I haven't called for a month, what are you busy with, my mother can worry about you"
"Mother, I have been doing business with my friends recently, I have made some money, I have bought a house and a car, and I am going to take you to Yanjing to live."
"Really, why is trading so profitable? I don't go with your dad, I can't help you when I go, and I drag you to take care of it, we are very good at home, we do some work in the fields, and we are not sick when we are physically active, and we are afraid of staying sick when we go to you."
"Dump some antiques or something, I'm going to register my own company." Mother, go ahead, I have a big house there, three bedrooms, I'm going to buy a bigger house, you can go and help me see the house."
"Let's think about it, in addition to the two of us, there are cows, dogs, cats, and chickens in this house, and we can't just leave."
Wang Chao thought about it, not to mention that when people are old, they want to stay in their own homes, but they are not necessarily used to living in a building, so they are no longer reluctant, and the topic turns to the matter of flipping a new house: "Dad, mother, I have money now, if you want to flip this house at home, flip it, don't wait for next year, prepare things now."
"Don't worry, you can't spend it indiscriminately if you have money, it's not a small amount to build a house, and you can't get down without a hundred thousand yuan in the village now, how much can you have?"
"Dad, how much do I think, okay, I'll go to the city this afternoon to get 200,000 for you, you follow your own ideas, you can build whatever you want, don't save money, I have a lot of money in my hand, and I can get 1.8 million at any time", Wang Chao was afraid of scaring his parents, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise he would say that I had more than 200 million in my account, and I wouldn't scare the second elder stupid!.
Dad and my mother looked at each other, and then said to me seriously: "Chao, it's good that you have money, but don't be extravagant, the house is built, and you will have to face marrying a daughter-in-law in the future, and now it costs a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, anyway, it is difficult for you to stay at home all the time after you get married, and it is not good to build a house."
Knowing that they have been poor all their lives, they don't dare to spend money when they have money, so they don't persuade them much, and then the noodles cooked are also cooked, Wang Chao ate a reunion dinner with his parents at home, and he quickly felt very down-to-earth.
Wang Chao also has a younger sister, but she is already married, married to a neighboring county more than 200 miles away from here, the two know each other, and her sister is good.
Wang Chao went home and called his sister, and his sister said that she would come back tomorrow to see, and the brother and sister hadn't seen each other for almost a year, and they missed it very much.
In the afternoon, Wang Chao slept beautifully at home, and was asleep, when he suddenly felt a little itchy nose, he woke up with a sneeze, and when he opened his eyes, there was a young man with glasses sitting next to him, "Wang Zheng, you kid, don't wake me up when you come."
"Okay, Wang Chao, I'm rich, I won't say a word to my brother when I come back, hurry up and take me for a ride"
Wang Zheng is Wang Chao's hair small, the two have been playing together since childhood, from the first grade to high school graduation, the two are always in the same class, are real buddies, non-adulterated buddies, and later Wang Chao was admitted to the university, Wang Zheng was not admitted, began to enter the society to work hard, currently in the county to open a store by himself, mix well, often come to Wang Chao's house to play when he is fine, Wang Chao's family has a job he is on call, this is stronger than Wang Chao, Wang Chao's father said that this is another son, Wang Chao also came back to Wang Zheng's house to pay New Year's greetings to his parents.
At noon, Wang Chao went to bed after eating, Wang Chao's mother called Wang Zheng, and the kid came back from the city as soon as he slipped away.
"I was talking about looking for you at night, let's go, let's go to the city and find a place to have a drink."
"Pull it down, you just came back and went out, and you were still drinking and driving, my aunt didn't split me yet, I bought some ready-made from the city and gave it to my aunt, and now I'm doing it, I'm not drunk tonight, haha, I won't return if I'm drunk."
"Okay, let's have a drink tonight, let's go to the small river behind the village", I said hello to my parents, and Wang Zheng went out to the small river behind the village.
