In 1979, under the guidance of the great men of the Southern Tour, China officially began reform and opening up, which gradually changed China's destiny and laid the foundation for the future international power.

However, in the early 80s, reform and opening up had just begun. At that time, society as a whole was still backward. Moreover, it was the era of the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises, and the economic level of every household was generally about the same, unlike China after the 21st century, where there was a pathological gap between the rich and the poor that shocked the world.

Therefore, the bastards of that era generally paid more attention to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and fought just for the sake of fighting and fighting, and they did not have a real underworld organization. But it doesn't mean that the era was peaceful, on the contrary, it was very chaotic.

Fortunately, Hua Chen's prophetic consciousness withdrew from the whirlpool of rivers and lakes in the eastern part of the city as soon as possible, and instead chose to go to the south to do business with his friend, Tang Jun's father, Tang Ran.

After several years of hard accumulation, it gradually formed a certain scale of wealth base and personal connections.

What's more, they escaped the 83-year crackdown. When they first arrived in southern Guangdong, Li Bin, Wei Dayong, Jiang Kun and other big bastards in the eastern district of our city had already been imprisoned. However, the calm turmoil was only temporary, by the end of the 80s, the beginning of the 90s. With the birth of Hua Yehong, Li Tianyang and others. It was also when Li Bin and other big bastards were released from prison, and from that time on, Nansu City was destined to no longer be peaceful...

In 1997, Li Bin turned 35 years old. invited Hua Chen, Wei Dayong, Jiang Kun, and Tang Ran to have dinner with their friends who were mixed with society when they were young.

"Come on! Today is my 35th birthday! Thank you brothers for your support! Let's start with this one! Li Bin raised his glass and drank nearly 2 taels of liquor in the cup in one go.

"Li Bin, when Tang Ran and I just came back from the south, your brothers were in prison. Now that the brothers have been released, what are your new plans for the future? Hua Chen asked.

"In the past few years, my brothers have also figured out that in this era, it will not work to rely on the fighting and killing when we were young. Look at me now, didn't I just open a mahjong file, and I also opened several game machine rooms. Li Bin continued. There is also Dayong who opened a restaurant, a pawnshop, and Jiang Kun opened a motorcycle repair shop and a teahouse. The era to come must be the era when whoever has the money has the final say. ”

In the late 90s, although the reform and opening up had made great progress, many people still did not realize the future direction of China and the importance of money, but Li Bin realized it.

"What I think is that Tang Ran and I have made a lot of money in the past few years in the south to pan for gold, and I also want to invest in some business in the South Sudan." Hua Chen said thoughtfully.

"Of course, Da Chen, we have been neighbors since childhood. Now your son and my son are also buddies, and we are world friends. Brother will not treat you badly, let me introduce you, my brother is Wu Hao, everyone calls him Director Wu. Li Bin solemnly introduced a seemingly silent, but quite imposing man beside him.

"Now he has a lot of business in his hands, and he has a large group of brothers under him, let's work together to ensure that we will make a lot of money in the future!" Li Bin introduced, and Director Wu also nodded to everyone.

Hua Chen and Tang Ran were thoughtful, they were different from pure mixed society bastards like Li Bin, both of them had a very high level of education, and their vision was also very far-sighted. In addition, due to the impact of the 83 years of crackdown, they no longer want to live a bloody life like when they were young, fighting all day long.

But because of the love of the brothers back then, Hua Chen thought for a while and said: "Li Bin, we are brothers, I can naturally trust you if you say a word." It's okay for us to work together, but we can't do it anymore like when we were younger. ”

"Haha, of course, that's decided! Let's have another drink! Li Bin picked up his glass. Come, Director Wu, a few of us brothers will toast you together! Hua Chen and Tang Ran also raised their wine glasses and said solemnly and politely to Director Wu.

"The brothers are Li Bin's brothers, and they will be my Wu Hao's brothers in the future, everyone will cooperate and earn money together." Director Wu said calmly, quite in the style of a big brother in the rivers and lakes.

That night, Hua Chen, Tang Jun and others completely filled the gap in our city's situation for many years when they went to the south to do business. It turned out that in recent years, with the release of Li Bin, Wei Dayong, Jiang Kun and others. They use the power in their hands, and the means of violence. Got a lot of business privileges.

For example, the game machine room in hand has a large number of slot machines and other early gambling tools. Ordinary bastards in the eastern part of the city want to install slot machines in the game machine room, and they have to get their consent. Mahjong stalls are full of business every day, and the restaurants opened, because of the fame of their youth, the people of the city's three religions and nine streams have come to support them for a long time.

There were also motorcycle repair shops, and those who could afford motorcycles at that time were rich people. And that "Director Wu" used the power in his hands to gradually become the "vegetable tyrant", "grain tyrant" and "city tyrant" in the eastern district of Nansu City by violent means. In the eastern part of the city, vegetable farms, rice shops, small supermarkets, teahouses, and Internet cafes and video parlors have to pay him a large amount of "protection fees" every month.

Director Wu, Li Bin, Jiang Kun and others relied on the money to expand the scale of their mahjong stalls, restaurants, and repair shops. The way the money rolls in has made them richer and richer in recent years. It can be said that their primitive wealth at that time was really a "bloody accumulation".

At that time, although the social order was much better than in the 80s, after all, the general awareness of the legal system among the citizens was not too strong, and they still stayed in the impression of the era when they were afraid of hooligan gangs, so most people dared not speak out. In the three years 1996-1998. Several major bloody cases in Baixia District, Qinhuai District, and Jianye District were all related to the gang of "Director Wu" Li Bin.

It was not until the Huaining Bridge shooting case that shocked the city in March 1998 that this gang with the nature of the underworld was destroyed. It was after that case that Brilliance decided to go to Suzhou City to develop, which is a later story.

……

After this drinking game. Hua Chen, Li Bin, and Tang Ran had a conversation in private. Specifically, it is their son.

"Da Chen, come back this time, I'm happy to be reunited with your son, how many years have you not seen your son?" Li Bin, who had already drunk too much, asked.

"It's been three years, and this kid is now in the third grade of elementary school. But it's still very close to his dad. When his son Hua Yehong was mentioned, Hua Chen's face was full of relief and pride.

"Binzi, how are you doing now? Are you still beating your son? It is said that this kid Tianyang is terrible now, he is only 10 years old in the third grade of elementary school, and he is already half a little bully in the school. Tang Ran asked Li Bin.

"Haha! I've drunk too much and still do it! Let him be beaten a little more! Exercise more to improve his fighting ability! Li Bin said drunkly.

If Li Bin's words are published, they will definitely be condemned by people from all walks of life, how many parents can educate and treat their sons like this? Exercise your son's ability to fight and brawl by beating and scolding him?

But Li Tianyang at that time did grow up in such a violent and sick family environment. led to the distortion of Li Tianyang's mind, and excessive admiration of violence, as well as bandit-like morbid values. Let him later go further and further on the road of delinquent juveniles, and even the road of crime.

"I said Binzi, I think the child is too old to fight anymore. If you continue like this, it will definitely not be good for his growth in the future. Tang Ran said earnestly.

"Tang Ran is right, Binzi, listen to us. Don't treat Tianyang like that in the future, you see me and Tang Ran, never beat children. Brilliance said.

Hua Chen and Tang Ran are very similar in this regard, although Hua Chen did not give Hua Yehong a complete family. But since childhood, he has established a correct and authoritative father image in front of him. Every time I make a mistake, I never use my hands to criticize and learn lessons, and they are all reasonable. Not only did it work, but it also convinced Hua Yehong.

It is for this reason that when Hua Yehong, who later became an adult, had several conflicts with Hua Chen, he was always able to calm down and communicate correctly with his father, so that the relationship between father and son was always very good.

Hua Chen's virtue convinces Hua Yehong, source: When Hua Chen was a child, Hua Chen was a famous big thorn since he was a child. And Hua Chen's father, Hua Yehong's grandfather, in middle age, was due to the fact that he had been on the battlefield and was a veteran of the People's Liberation Army.

Brilliance deeply understands the harm and disadvantages of that kind of violent education, so he never beats Hua Yehong. It is worth mentioning that Hua Yehong's grandfather has changed his temperament greatly in his old age, and he has become very gentle, and he loves his grandson Hua Yehong very much.

"It's okay! That's it! Beat my son until he went to junior high school and stopped fighting! I don't care about him in the future! Li Bin said disapprovingly.

Hua Chen was speechless and didn't say anything more. Regarding this, Hua Yehong, Li Tianyang, Tang Jun, including Yang Luyao's father, they all have a common characteristic: they are very capable, but they are very conceited.

However, it was the mistakes and misunderstandings of their education methods and the lack of care for their children that led to their children gradually taking detours later, which made them regret it, especially Li Tianyang and Yang Luyao, and even gradually embarked on a road of no return! That's an afterword.

"By the way, Da Chen, Tang Ran, what do you think of your son?" Li Bin lit a Chinese cigarette and asked.

"My son's current student path, I don't care too much, I follow his development. Everything he does in college or after college, I promise to be able to arrange it for him, and I don't need him to worry about it! Hua Chen said confidently.

"Me too, I'm relatively wealthy now, and there's no problem in getting rich in the future. That kid doesn't want him to toss as much as he wants, but I think about it, I will let him suffer more poverty in the future, and after junior high school, I will no longer give him so much pocket money. Tang Ran also said confidently.

"I said brothers, you can't be bitter about anything, you can't be bitter about the child, your way can't be too extreme!" Li Bin said drunkenly.

Hua Chen and Tang Ran were speechless, and the authorities were confused. Li Bin reminded them not to go to extremes, but what about himself? Now the most wrong is him Li Bin.

"I said brothers, get together! How did I forget my brother!? Suddenly, a person walked into the private room of the hotel, and this person was Yang Luyao's father, Yang Min.

"Old Yang? Why are you here too? Brilliance said in surprise.

Yang Min's father and Hua Chen's father are old comrades-in-arms. So Hua Yehong and Yang Luyao, who are their grandchildren, have also become good friends.

"I just came back from Shanghai, and I heard from my neighbors that you were having dinner here, so I came to see it. What are you talking about? Yang Min asked.

"What else can we talk about? Talking about children? Tang Ran said.

"Hey, when it comes to children, my daughter is so worry-free! Although I became the class leader, as soon as I came back, I heard that the head teacher called me to come to school tomorrow. And I found her a stepmother, although she was not married, but the child worked against her stepmother all day long! I don't listen to what I say. Yang Min said helplessly.

"Lao Yang, I said that this is your mistake. Your daughter is not satisfied with your stepmother, who is her aunt, then there must be something that the woman has not done well. Look at me, the aunt I found for my son, which one dares to treat my son badly! Which one dares to bully him? Fuck off! ”

Hua Chen also drank a lot, and at this time, the wine was strong, and he spoke a lot louder. But what he said was true.

Yang Min was speechless by Hua Chen's words, and it really stabbed him in pain. Yang Min, compared to Hua Chen and Tang Ran, is indeed not good enough. Although Hua Chen divorced his wife, Hua Yehong had no mother for a long time. But at least, Brilliance has never let his son suffer from the anger of those "aunts", never.

"You have a point, I'll take care of it. I also don't want my daughter to get along unpleasantly with her aunt. Yang Min said lightly.

"That's it! Don't talk nonsense! Let's drink a few more! Li Bin shouted loudly.

However, today, Hua Chen, Li Bin, Tang Ran, and Yang Min didn't realize that today's conversation had invisibly planned the outline of their future education and guidance for their children. There are pros and cons in it, and they are not aware of the defects and misunderstandings in their children's education methods and care, which invisibly affect the future fate of their families!

……

And just like that, another year passed. By 1998. Director Wu and other underworld gangs are becoming more and more influential in Nansu City. It wasn't until March 98 that the shootout of Huaining Bridge, which shocked the city, completely announced the destruction of this gang. Since then, the security of Nansu City has been among the best in the country, and there have been no large-scale violent crimes for many years.

At that time, the owner of a teahouse in Huainingqiao was called Hei Laoqi. Hei Laoqi's gang just took shape in mid-1997 and opened a number of restaurants and teahouses in our city. He was very dissatisfied with Director Wu's gang's behavior of collecting protection money. Finally, one day, many thugs under his command injured Director Wu, Li Bin, and Wei Dayong's thugs.

Later, Director Wu sent someone to negotiate with Hei Laoqi, but the person sent was directly seriously injured by Hei Laoqi and thrown out. only dropped one sentence: "Our Brother Hei and Director Wu are incompatible, whoever dares to make trouble again will fight one by one." ”

Hei Laoqi's arrogance completely angered Director Wu, Li Bin, Wei Dayong and other old rivers and lakes. Although they no longer fight in person for many years, they are social people after all, and generally do not report crimes, but are accustomed to solving problems through negotiation or fighting.

On the same day, Director Wu sent someone to ride a motorcycle to the door of Hei Lao Qichangzi, directly injured two security guards and dropped a note, asking Huaining Bridge to "set up a scene" tomorrow night. That was the jargon of the people of Nansu City at that time. It refers to the situation that the negotiation is not appropriate, and the time and place are used to solve the problem in a group fight, and the losing party will listen to the conditions put forward by the winning party.

On the same day, one of the worst violent crimes of the 90s broke out in the city of Nansu. Director Wu's gang and the Black Lao Qi gang broke out in a fight, and dozens of people were injured in the fight, and the scene was very tragic.

Even in the end, Director Wu and others took out the three shotguns they had with them and brazenly shot and killed people, resulting in the death of two people, and many others were seriously injured in other fights. This case has attracted great attention from the Nansu City Public Security Bureau, and has been defined by the provincial department as a major case for supervision.

In the end, Director Wu, Jiang Kun and others were sentenced to death. Li Bin was also imprisoned again, and at that time, Hua Chen, Tang Ran and others were all in Suzhou, and they did not participate in the whole process of this gun fighting case, and they escaped again, but because of this incident, Hua Chen and Tang Ran became frightened birds, and they did not return to Nansu City for a long time, because they were afraid of being implicated.

From then on, Brilliance made a decision to use his social resources and network resources to develop in Taicang, Suzhou, and transfer his son to Taicang City!
