Chapter 19 Family Banquet

To be precise, He Tianran is really not the second generation of rich, because since his grandfather's generation, their family has been rich for four generations.

Of course, the hundred years during this period are inevitably ups and downs, if according to the historical emperor, to He Panshan here, he can only be regarded as a "master of Zhongxing", far less than the heyday of his own court, but if it is not for him, "rich but three generations" This old saying, that is really to be fulfilled in the old He family.

Nanshan Jiadi is not the most expensive land boundary in the port city, it is said to be Nanshan, but it is actually a small dirt slope, which is surprising because of the historical reasons here.

In the early 90s of the last century, the port city as a coastal city developed rapidly, for the expansion and planning of the city also came out of full energy, originally wanted to open up a piece of land in the center of the city similar to New York's Central Park, in order to avoid the upcoming noisy and chaotic urban life, but the project was carried out less than a year ago, was stopped for various reasons.

The planned city center gradually developed to the northwest, and the central park became a summer suburb in the southeast corner.

The symbolism here is far greater than the actual use, just like every city there are always a few products that have been influenced by history, such as the Peace Hotel in Shanghai, the Concord Villa in BJ, and the Nanshan Jiadi in Hong Kong City, although the history is still short, but in the hearts of the locals, if you can live here, you must be a big person.

He Panshan relied on this land to achieve a turnaround in his life, and in the first twenty-five years of his life, according to his words, it was tens of thousands of times more absurd than He Tianran, so when he came to his son, he would rather let his son live a more difficult life than let him repeat the mistakes of the past.

The idea is good, but as far as He Tianran's previous personality is concerned, it is obviously too strong.

Forty minutes of driving, the taxi finally arrived at the Nanshan Jiadi single-family villa where the He family is located, the two bronze lions standing at the door are solemn and solemn, the driver's brother waited for He Tianran to get out of the car and opened the window, looking at the two five-meter-high Jiangshan copper doors automatically opened, and saw the young man stepping on the pedestal of the three-story Sumeru seat into the door, he was reluctant to step on the accelerator and leave.

This villa, with an area of 1280 square meters, 7 bedrooms, 9 living rooms and 9 bathrooms, three floors above ground and one floor underground, He Tianran entered the door, bypassing the inner shadow wall of the top ink marble, and he bumped into the housekeeper Wang Ma who came to pick him up.

"Little Nature, you're back!"

"Wang Ma!"

He Tianran called out affectionately, this woman who was over fifty years old, and could be regarded as his relatives, pinched his face dotingly, and then touched his arms from his shoulders with both hands, and said with relief:

"You didn't suffer outside, did you?"

He Tianran shook his head and smiled: "Hunger can't die." ”

Wang's mother was unhappy on her face, "Bah, what nonsense!" ”

She took He Tianran's hand, and the two said as they walked: "Xiao Tianran, it's good to be back, it's good to be back, I'll go and tell your dad to tell you not to go out to live, in this world, how can there be a reason for a child to have a home and not be able to go back?" ”

"Mom Wang, I'm used to living outside, and it's too far away from the school, so let's wait until I finish the college entrance examination."

He Tianran pushed it, Wang Ma has been in this house for nearly thirty years, and she can't hide any thoughts from her eyes, she knows the contradictions that arise after He Tianran and his father organized a new family, so she can only hold his hand tightly without saying anything, for fear that he will turn around and leave again like before.

The two chatted a lot along the way, walked through the verandah, and finally came to the Shanshui Hall where the family banquet was held.

This small hall is a Chinese-style structure, nearly eight meters under the top of the mountain, a golden silk nanmu tiger skin pattern of the eight immortals table is neatly placed in the center, here was He Tianran's grandfather's favorite place, in his spare time, often invite friends to come here for a drink, drink and sing, tune the piano and chant the scriptures.

A burst of white smoke rose on the Nanmu table, the soup in the copper pot had already boiled and rolled, He Panshan sat in the main seat, his long hair tied behind his head, in front of his family, this master has never had the consciousness of a rich man, and when he saw He Tianran coming, he just used chopsticks to point to the opposite seat, and then soaked a piece of good mutton, dipped it in sesame sauce, and put it in his mouth.

On his right hand sat a dignified and elegant woman, whose visual age seemed to be only in her thirties, she was He Yuanchong's mother, He Panshan's current wife, Tao Wei.

"Aunt Tao."

The boy sat down and greeted him naturally, and he called a housekeeper "Mom" and a stepmother "Auntie", and the strangeness was self-evident.

Tao Wei nodded and asked, "What about your brother?" ”

He Tianran picked up the chopsticks and replied, "Didn't he come back with Uncle Hu?" ”

The woman's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, but she didn't speak.

He Panshan chewed the meat in his mouth, and then said, "Then, wait a little longer." ”

So, the eldest son of the family put down the chopsticks.

He Tianran looked at the ingredients in the pot, Tao Wei closed his eyes and took a rest, only He Panshan was still eating happily.

Mo Yo waited for ten minutes, and He Yuanchong walked in with the delicate girl he had just seen.

"Yeon-yeon is here too." Tao smiled slightly.

"Uncle and aunt...... Brother He, hello. ”

The girl said hello, it seemed that it was not the first time she had seen He Panshan and his wife, but when she arrived at He Tianran, she was obviously a little uncomfortable.

"Dad, Mom, brother, I'm sorry, I'm late."

He Yuanchong took a girl named Yanyan and sat on the left with a restrained look.

"Yuan Chong, what's wrong with your face?" Tao Wei looked at his son and asked with concern.

"Ah, this is...... It's a little bit of a conflict at school, it doesn't matter. He Yuanchong explained.

Tao Wei's gaze shifted to the girl, and the little girl nodded vigorously, under the guise of "Yuan Chong was said two words, and the fight started, but fortunately, the teacher came." ”

Hearing this, Tao Wei did not doubt him, she moved her chopsticks, and this family banquet was officially opened.

At this time, He Panshan was almost full, he wiped his mouth and said, "Didn't I ask Brother Hu to pick you up, why did you arrive one after the other?" ”

He Tianran was silent, and He Yuanchong said embarrassedly: "Brother said that he doesn't like to swagger, I think it makes sense, I don't dare to sit if he doesn't sit, so it took some time to come back." ”

He Panshan said "um" in his mouth, noncommittal, Tao Wei ate the dishes as usual.

"Your kid has done well in the past month, and I heard that he has improved a lot, it seems that a broken love has made you grow a lot."

He Panshan's words were naturally said to his own son opposite.

"Brother, are you really in love? Is it the one I saw today? ”

The feminine young man was pleasantly surprised, even though he saw He Tianran's brows jump, he didn't stop talking.

"That's a friend." The boy explained clearly.

"Hey, why do you kid always like to poke people's scars? Didn't you hear me say 'broken love'? He Panshan patted He Yuanchong's head, the latter laughed dryly twice, and the girl next to him also covered her mouth and smiled.

The atmosphere is harmonious.

He Panshan lit a cigarette, and the servant who had been present immediately placed the ashtray, and he concluded:

"I've seen that girl, I like it a lot, it's just that your brother is a little bit hot, but the first love, the ending is probably like this."

"Uncle, we are also our first love! And aren't Uncle He and Aunt Tao also first love? ”

At this time, the girl who had been beside protested in a coquettish voice, He Panshan laughed, and asked:

"Yeonyan, do you really believe it?"

I don't know if he was referring to what he just said or He Yuanchong's emotional experience, the girl blushed.

"I forgot to introduce you, this is the daughter of Uncle Xie's family next door, named Xie Yanyan, who has been abroad before and has only recently returned to China."

The girl took the initiative to say hello again, and He Tianran just nodded and continued to rub the meat.

"Come on, you two are adults in the next month, and you are both adults in the spring, it's time to report to me what your future plans are, and I, as an old man, can help you plan in advance."

He Panshan went straight to the point and got to the point.

"Dad, I don't want to go abroad, I think the business school of Hong Kong City University is very good, and my mother also thinks that I don't need to run so far, don't waste time, I can't help you, not to mention that I can't pass the exam, I don't need to go to gold plating."

He Yuanchong took the lead in speaking, and He Panshan smiled: "I don't need your turn to help yet, if you don't want to, don't go, when you get to graduate school, there will be opportunities, anyway, the moon in foreign countries may not be round." ”

Tao Wei looked at the two fathers and sons, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What about you, do you want to go to business school too, you have an uncle who is a professor in a business school, and he came back from Harvard a few years ago to teach, and when the time comes, you two will follow the group of graduate students he brought to study more."

"Me? Maybe be a programmer like you. ”

He Tianran replied casually, and He Panshan laughed angrily.

"I warn you, it's okay to engage in technology, but don't condemn yourself to death, the technology industry will become an industry bull when it reaches the top, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to transfer to management, you see what Musk, Zuckerberg, and your father and me, all started with technology, but after the company grows, it will eventually have to fall into a macro position."

"It's all up to Dad."

"I have what I want to do."

The two brothers who are not related by blood also answer two extremes.

"Natural, what do you want to do?" At this time, Tao Wei suddenly asked.

In her impression, He Tianran, a child, has always been introverted and indecisive, even if he sometimes conflicts with He Panshan, but he has always been obedient in major life events, but when he saw it today, he always felt strange.

The whole family was waiting for He Tianran's answer, but this time the boy pondered for a moment, and then asked another question.

"Dad, if I don't do well in the college entrance examination and can only go to a similar university in the end, what will happen to you?"

He Panshan was stunned.

The scene was surprisingly quiet, with bone broth bubbling in a copper pot.

"It depends on what state you are."

Between father and son, he was outspoken.

"Am I going to be poor?"

He asked again.

He Panshan thought about it and smashed his mouth, and said, "As long as you are obedient, you will not starve to death, after all, it is my son." ”

He Tianran put down the dishes and chopsticks and sat upright.

"I've heard people say that I'm not going to be happy in the future, and I'm disgraced for an investment, and I'm thinking at the time, I have such a family, but my dad won't save me, so what a mistake I have to make."

"No, you're stunned, aren't you? What the hell are you trying to say? "He Panshan is really a little angry.

"I'll be an adult next month......"

He Tianran said calmly:

"I want to see if my future is like this."

"Why are you so naΓ―ve?"

He Panshan slapped the table and was angry.

Sure enough, it was the same as I had imagined when I came.

A family feast, each with his own thoughts.

This meal is not destined to be delicious.
