At 9 a.m. on January 24, 1977, after everyone had breakfast at home, my mother came to her office to talk to me, Aunt Wen and Sister Wen Juan.

The mother said, "Ah Cai! In December last year, Aunt Wen and Wen Juan returned to Yongcheng from the capital, they are used to living overseas, the southwest region belongs to the border area, and at the same time, the economic and cultural development is relatively lagging behind, so they are not used to work and life! Look, can you arrange a job for the two of them there?! ”

I said, "Yes! We are preparing to build a liaison office under the direct management of the secret service headquarters in Yangcheng, if Aunt Wen is willing, she can go to work in the Yangcheng Liaison Office, and Aunt Wen can help me manage the finances and housekeeping of the Yangcheng Liaison Office! In Gangcheng, I have Haolong Port Company, as well as Hualong Industrial Development Company, if Sister Wenjuan is willing, she can go to Gangcheng with me to develop! ”

Aunt Wen smiled and said, "Okay! Ahh I have a very good feeling about the city of Yangcheng! Also, when I was working overseas, I was in charge of the finances and housekeeping of the workstation! This time, when you return, I'll go to Yangcheng with you to work! ”

Sister Wen Juan smiled and said, "Great! I love being with Brother Ah Cai the most! I got a bachelor's degree in international trade and business management from an overseas university! I can help you do international trade business and management in Hualong Industrial Company! I know that business is the most profitable! ”

The mother smiled and said, "Yes! Fenghua, Wenjuan, your matter is settled like this! I believe that Ah will help you arrange your future work and life! In the future, you will follow Ah Cai to do a good job, and it will be good for everyone to do things together as a family! ”

After Aunt Wen and Sister Wen Juan happily left their mother's office, my mother called Brother Jingtian, Sister-in-law Meixin, and Cai Jinghua to talk to me.

The mother said, "Alas! Jingtian and Meixin have been soldiers for almost 8 years, and Anbang is more than three years old! Respect to God! Mei Xin! Neither of you has a good family composition! Therefore, it is difficult for people like you to be reused in the army, and recently, I am about to retire, so you had better transfer to Yongcheng to work before I retire! In this way, I can also use my old face to help you contact a good local employment unit! In this way, you can not only take care of your own small family and our people, but also develop your own future in the local area! ”

I said, "Yes! Brother! Sister-in-law! You are a garrison, and if you say that you will be pulled out, you will be pulled out! Now, relations between China and Vietnam are starting to become tense! If the two countries continue to quarrel like this, it is inevitable that they will fight! Therefore, you have to hurry up and deal with the matter of changing jobs! ”

Brother Jingtian said: "Yes! Ah Cai is overseas, he has received more news than us, and he understands it better than us! Mei Xin! After the Spring Festival, let's apply for a job change to our superiors immediately! ”

My sister-in-law nodded to my brother with tears in her eyes!

The mother said, "All right! This time, you go back to your unit and take some gifts to give to the people who help you with your errands! Local receiving unit, I'll help you get in touch! If, there really is no good unit willing to accept you! You can use your family's money to do business, or start a company and start a business! Now, I also figured it out, what is it like to be an official if you learn and excel? ! Be a man! Sooner or later, you'll have to rely on yourself! Sooner or later, you will starve to death by relying on others! ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Mother Bai! So, this time, Ah Cai and they returned to Hong Kong City, should I go with them?! I want to be with Ah Cai as soon as possible and learn from Ah Cai the knowledge and experience of doing business and managing a business! In the future, when I earn money, I will definitely come back to honor your elders! ”

Mother smiled and said, "Jinghua! You're a smart good boy! I've been helping Ah Cai since I was a child, this time, you and Ah Cai will go overseas! ”

Cai Jinghua nodded to her mother with tears in her eyes!

Meixin's sister-in-law smiled and said, "Brother Jinghua! Although you are one year older than Ah Cai, Ah Cai's talent is better than yours! When you arrive in Hong Kong City, listen to Ah Cai, don't make your own opinions! You have to help Ah Cai do a good job in the company's affairs and learn more skills! ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Okay! Mom, brother-in-law, sister! You can rest assured, I have memorized all your teachings! In the future, I will definitely be able to become Acai's right-hand man! I won't disgrace the Cai family! ”

Everyone laughed happily!

After Jingtiange's family left, my mother called Jingdi and Lilan to talk to me.

Lilan smiled and said, "Mom! You're too eccentric! In order to talk to Brother Ah Cai, Brother Jing Di and I have been waiting to doze off! ”

The mother smiled and said, "Alas! Lilan, you are mother's baby! I'm sure I'll save it for the end! The two of you are just as talented as Ah Cai! Therefore, this time, the main task of you and Ah Cai going overseas is to study! Do you understand? ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Mom! I want to be a doctor and a scientist! What major should I study? ”

The mother said, "Lilan, then you should study medicine and bioengineering!" After reading a Ph.D. and having scientific research results, you are a scientist! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Okay! Mom! That's what I'm going to do! In the future, I will let you elders live a long life! ”

Everyone laughed!

Jing Di said: "Mom! I've got it figured! The future is the era of science and technology! Therefore, I want to study Computer Science and Communications, as well as Finance and Business Management! In the future, I want to be a big entrepreneur! ”

The mother smiled and said, "Good! Both of you are very ambitious! When you arrive in Hong Kong City, let Ah Cai connect you with such an overseas university to study! ”

I said, "Okay! Now, I am a member of the American Cultural and Educational Exchange Association, and the president of our association, Dr. Ronier, once asked us to help him recommend international students to study in the United States, and now, the university near San Francisco on the west coast of North America is developing very well, and I want you to study and further your studies there! That way, in seven to eight years, you'll be the world's top tech and business talent! ”

Jing Di and Lilan applauded happily!

In this way, with the help of my mother, I talked with the family members and the arrangements for their future came to an end.

The mother smiled and said, "All right! Ahh Now, I'll go and buy a plane ticket for a few of you to Yangcheng tomorrow! Now, the three of you take Yanfang and Wenjuan to the river to take pictures and play! ”

Lilan said, "Mom! Why so quickly, you just let us go?! I felt so sudden! ”

Jing Di smiled and said, "Alas! Lilan go get the camera! In the future, we can go home more often! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Yes! How did I not think that airplanes are more convenient than walking?! ”

Everyone laughed!

Then, the three of us left Mom's office and we were in the room, bringing cameras and film, etc.

Then, we called Yanfang, Sister Wenjuan, Jinghua and Xiaoda in the living room, and everyone left the house together and went to the Yongjiang River to take pictures and play.

The weather on this day was very good, the wind was beautiful, and the sky was full of blue sky and white clouds!

Once we got to the river, we started taking pictures and playing!

Then, we talked as we walked.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai, Yanfang! Early in the morning, my father and Mr. Cen went to the river to fish! ”

Yanfang said, "Yes! We're in a hurry to do things like ghosts, and we're full of traps, whirlpools, and stormy waves! We live a cautious and fearful life every day! As a whole, plan and calculate all aspects of things! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Alas! Sister-in-law Yanfang, don't think about your things! I know, Mr. Cen they are fishing there! Let's go play with them! ”

So, Lilan trotted in front and took us to see Teacher Cen and them fishing.

After we turned a river bay, we saw Mr. Cen and Uncle Lan fishing silently and seriously under the shade of the trees by the river!

Lilan walked up to them lightly, picked up a rock and threw it at the surface of the water where they were fishing!

Suddenly, there was a "poof", and the calm river splashed!

Teacher Cen turned his face and smiled and said, "Lilan! You're messing with it again, aren't you?! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Teacher Cen! You're here to feed the fish before dawn, you're kind enough! ”

Uncle Lan smiled and said, "Little girl! It's not feeding the fish, it's fishing! Look how many we've lost?! At noon, we'll fry you fish to eat! ”

After looking at their fish baskets, Lilan smiled and said, "Oops! Just these few small fish, isn't it enough for you two elders to drink? Wait a minute, I'll ask Mama Wei to send you a few big, fat market fish! That fish is enjoyable to eat! ”

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Lilan! Fishing is fun, not for eating! It's philosophy, you don't understand! Go play on the side! ”

Everyone laughed!

In order not to affect Mr. Cen and Uncle Lan's fishing, we went to an open grass by the river to sit and chat!

Wen Juan said: "Alas! We said we left when we left, where is our home in this world?! ”

Yanfang said: "Alas! As long as people live with peace of mind and carefree, they can settle down anywhere! ”

Jinghua smiled and said, "Yes! Our ancestors of the Cai family are not from the southwest, but we have set up a home in the southwest for hundreds of thousands of years! Now, where is our hometown, the family tree is not clear! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Alas! At that time, your family tree should have been carved in stone! Stones don't rot as easily as paper! In this way, you can be sure that your Cai family must have emerged from Chaoge, Anyang, Henan, that honorable place! ”

Everyone laughed!

Jing Di smiled and said, "Lilan! Don't use the past to satirize the present! Our Cai family did immigrate from the Central Plains to settle in the southwest, we are not like you, you are the descendants of the Yue barbarians! Do you u

de

sta

d？！ ”

Everyone laughed again!

......

At noon, me, Yanfang, Xiaoda, Jinghua, Sister Wenjuan, Jingdi and Lilan returned home.

Mother, Jingtiange and Aunt Wen have already returned the documents for Jinghua, Sister Wenjuan, Jingdi and Lilan to go out, and Wei's mother, Meixin's sister-in-law and Anbang have also come back from shopping and grocery shopping.

Wei's mother and sister-in-law are cooking in the kitchen.

Mother and everyone are drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting in the living room.

The mother smiled and said, "Alas! Aunt Wen went to Yangcheng, Jinghua, Sister Wen Juan, Jingdi and Lilan went overseas and other identity certificates and letters of introduction, I have opened them for you! The plane tickets for the eight of you to Yangcheng have also been booked for you! Tomorrow at 8 a.m., you're leaving home and going your separate ways! ”

Lilan said sadly: "Mom! Now, I don't want to leave the house again! What to do?! ”

The mother said, "Alas! Who wants to leave their home! However, people have to leave home when they grow up in order to have a better future! In the future, you will get married and have your own small family, but you will still do your business to support your family and realize your life dreams! Back then, when Ah Cai and Xiaoda left home, they were only nine years old! If they didn't leave at that time and stayed at home, now, the best result would be to be a boatman running a boat on the river! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Okay! I'm not feeling bad! We must brave the end of the world and be a superman who helps the world and saves the people! ”

Everyone laughed!

The mother said, "Alas! You already know what kind of work Ah Cai, Xiao Da and Yan Fang are overseas?! Their working environment is very harsh! Therefore, you must be clear when you go overseas, what can you say?! What can't be said?! What can be done?! What can't you do?! Otherwise, you will suffer disasters and cause trouble to everyone! ”

Sister Wen Juan said: "Mom is right! When we go overseas, we just have to follow Ah Cai's arrangement and do our own study and work! Don't care and inquire about Ah Cai's affairs! The CIA is a terrible cave! ”

Yanfang said, "Mom! We've got a plan for this! When our business and business stabilize, we will also gradually withdraw from the CIA! We also want to live a normal life and do what we want to do! As long as everyone lives well, it's better than anything else! ”

The mother said, "All right! I know, you are all smart and sensible children! I believe that you will be able to withstand the cruel trials of this world, overcome difficulties, and finally achieve complete merit! ”

......

After lunch, my mother called me and Aunt Wen to her office to talk.

Mother said, "O wind flower! The matter of your transfer to the Yangcheng Liaison Office has been agreed by the Secret Service Headquarters! Now, Ah Cai is the director of the Yangcheng Liaison Office, and his old partner Xian Jinhua in Hong Kong City, he is the deputy director of the office, specifically responsible for the daily management of the office, Fenghua! You are the head of the office's finance! In the future, all the funds for your office will be raised by Ah Cai! Ah Cai, do you find it difficult? ”

I said, "Mom! Please tell the headquarters, I have no difficulty! After arriving in Yangcheng, I immediately arranged Aunt Wen's work, and immediately started the preparation of the office, and then, I immediately returned to Gangcheng to raise funds for the operation of the office, and we will be able to ensure the long-term operation of the Yangcheng liaison office! ”

The mother said, "Very good! Headquarters instructed that after the funds of your office are implemented, Ah Cai! If you open an overseas branch in Yangcheng as an individual and encounter the problem of a large amount of capital transfer, you can ask Xian Jinhua to find a relationship to handle it! He must have a solution to the problem! ”

I said, "Got it!" Mom, what if, in the future, I want to transfer a lot of money to my family?! ”

The mother said, "To be on the safe side, it's better not to go through the bank!" Our shipping company has an office in Yangcheng, Zuxing and Lanfeng are responsible for the daily work of the office, we have a freight business there, you can let them transfer the cash back to their hometown! This should be the best way to do it right now! ”

I said, "When we go back to Yangcheng, will anyone pick us up?" ”

Mother said, "Xian Jinhua will answer you!" He will send you directly to the office of Sing Tao Villa, Sin Jinhua is an acquaintance and friend of me and your father, he is a very reliable comrade! ”

After we finished talking, Aunt Wen went to prepare her and Sister Wenjuan's luggage and belongings.

My mother and I continued to talk in the office.

My mother took my hand and wept and said, "Ah Cai! You're my good boy! Mom knows that you've suffered a lot outside all these years! You've won a lot of honor for your family! Mom keeps all the medals and certificates you won! When you return to China and settle down, your mother will hand it over to you! Now, you've come too far, kid, it's going to be very difficult for you to quit the secret service industry altogether! Therefore, you must not rush it! Boy! Take your time! You're still young, let time wash and change everything! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Mom! I know! As long as you can live a good life, I don't care what I do! Mom! Don't worry about me either! I know what I'm supposed to do! In the future, after Yanfang and I get married and start a family, we will definitely go home to visit you often! ”

The mother wiped her tears and said, "Alas! Yanfang is also a good girl! You also know how to get along with the Tao family! People's hearts are long, we have to talk about feelings! However, when we do things, we must distinguish between public and private! Do you understand?! ”

After I finished talking with my mother, I handed over the $700,000 in my backpack to my mother.

The mother said, "Alas! Ahh You gave all the money to your family, do you still have money to use on the road? ”

I said, "Mom! I have enough money for the road, and I still have 200,000 US dollars, more than 387,000 yuan! That's enough money for travel and office expenses! ”

The mother smiled and said, "Oops! Ahh You're so nice! I can make money, and I still think about my family everywhere! ”

After I finished talking with my mother, I went back to my room to rest.
