Song Yuanchao returned to Huhai a few days in advance, and there was already a strong New Year's flavor outside the New Year, with red lanterns hanging everywhere, and everyone's faces were also full of joy.

On the streets, people dress very differently than they did a few years ago, and the most distinctive thing is the change in color.

Compared with the monotonous blue, gray and black before, everyone now wears a lot more colors, and in the early years, everyone's clothes and pants were patched less, and the New Year is coming soon, many people are wearing new clothes, which looks particularly spiritual.

brought gifts to his wife and children from Jinling, and Yangyang was very happy to see his father, because every time his father came back, he would bring him gifts.

The gift I brought back this time was the match box, also known as the matchbox car, which had just entered the mainland market and attracted the love of many people as soon as it was listed.

Those who are born in the 70s and 80s should still remember this kind of toy, and the colorful and realistic cars don't know how many people can't put it down.

Not to mention children, even many adults like it, and some adults even spend a lot of money and time to collect various types of styles and put them at home for self-appreciation.

Song Yuanchao brought back the latest match box, and when the beautiful car graphics on the big cardboard box were revealed, Yang Yang jumped and jumped happily, laughing so much that his eyes couldn't see.

"This thing is really good, where did it come from?" Watching with a smile as Song Yuanchao helped Yangyang open the box, took out the car from it to teach the child how to play, Yangyang clapped his little hands excitedly while playing, and Lin Yan on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Let Zhengguo buy it from Xiangjiang, and now it is also available in Shanghai, don't look at the small things, they are very exquisite, and the modeling proportions are exactly the same as the real thing. The ordinary one is not expensive, only a few yuan, and the one for Yangyang can run by itself is a little more expensive, but it is not too expensive. Song Yuanchao said with a smile, Lin Yan curiously took the outer packaging and looked at it carefully, this thing is really exquisite, and the price is not as she imagined.

"I think this thing will definitely sell well in the future, especially if the boy likes it."

"Hehe, that's for sure, boys like mechanical things like cars, you see how happy Yang Yang is."

Match Box has been very popular after entering China, especially its price is indeed not expensive, of course, this is not expensive means that compared with other products, because of mass manufacturing and industrialization, the actual cost is very low, but it can't resist its realistic and trendy shape, as soon as it appears, it has attracted the attention of adults and children.

This kind of toy is the memory of the post-70s and post-80s, and until the 21st century, many people still buy and collect it.

In 1989, after the "Transformers" cartoon was released in China, similar toys also entered the Chinese market overwhelmingly.

Compared with match box, the price of Transformers toys is much more expensive, ordinary dozens of yuan, good hundreds, if you want to engage in a set of Hercules, the price is nearly 1,000, you must know that people's salary income at that time was much higher than that in the early days of reform and opening up, but even the average salary in Shanghai is only more than 100 yuan, a set of toys nearly 1,000, is the income of ordinary people for more than half a year, but there are still many people rushing to buy.

Thinking of this, Song Yuanchao said to Lin Yan that there are two best businesses in the world, one is women's business, and the other is children's business.

Hearing Song Yuanchao say this, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh, because she knew that Song Yuanchao didn't make clothes before she was in the women's business? Isn't it also a child's idea to engage in food now?

After lunch, Lin Yan took Yangyang to take a nap, Lin Yan was more sleepy after pregnancy, Yangyang was a little tired after playing with Song Yuanchao for a few hours in the morning, and carried the little guy to the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Gently helping them close the door, Song Yuanchao returned to the living room and found the gifts with Xiao Haozi and Xiao Pingping, he was going to go to Zhang Jianguo's side, and by the way, he brought the things for the child.

Zhang Jianguo is not far from Song Yuanchao's side, Zhang Jianguo bought a house before, and it is only about ten minutes to walk there.

When I arrived at the place, I knocked on the door, and it was Zhang Hao who opened the door, and I was very happy to see Song Yuanchao.

"Brother Yuanchao, why are you here?" Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Hao's height is very high, and he is no longer what he was when Song Yuanchao first returned to Shanghai.

Now Zhang Hao is already a half-old young man, especially the conditions of the Zhang family have improved a lot in recent years, and the children's nutrition has also kept up.

In particular, this kid has some black fluffy beard on his lips, and he usually likes to exercise, and his body is very strong.

"You kid, I haven't seen you in a few months, and you're a little taller." Song Yuanchao stretched out his hand and gestured, the last time he saw Zhang Hao to his chin, now he is almost up to his lips, and the eldest child in his teenage years is growing fast.

"Hey......." Zhang Hao scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and then remembered to let Song Yuanchao enter the door.

"What about your parents and your sister? And A-Niang is not at home? Entering the door, Song Yuanchao looked into the room and asked.

"My mom accompanied my grandma to do her hair, and my dad is a person, you know, he must be busy at work at this time. My sister went to her schoolmate in the morning and didn't come back until dinner. ”

No wonder Zhang Hao is alone at home, Aunt Sun Xia's business has been doing well in recent years, although the profit of clothing is not as high as before, but because of Shenghua Company as her backing, the supply and price are not comparable to ordinary people.

Moreover, after Daniel Zhang left, those shops on Maiyang Road were managed by his trusted friends, and the people in charge of them certainly knew the relationship between Sun Xia and Daniel Zhang, and they also took care of them on weekdays.

The family conditions are good, the son has bought a bungalow, and the grandchildren have gradually grown up.

Before, the Zhang family said that she was not used to living in the house here, and she still liked to live in the previous place. Later, Song Yuanchao persuaded him, since he bought a good house, it is the filial piety of the juniors, if she does not go to live, Zhang Jianguo and his wife will definitely not live, so that Zhang Hao and Xiao Pingping The two children will not be able to live in the big house, and it is really inconvenient for the family to still crowd in the old house.

Especially Zhang Hao and Xiao Pingping have grown up, even if it is a brother and sister who continue to live in the same house like this, it is always inconvenient, and Song Yuanchao's home is nearby, and it is convenient for the Zhang family to move around when they move in, isn't it?

In this way, the Zhang family's aunt was persuaded by Song Yuanchao and moved over with her son and daughter-in-law's family. I usually go to Song Yuanchao's side to help take care of Yangyang, and Song Yuanchao's family also left a room for the elderly, and sometimes it is very convenient for the old man to live in Song Yuanchao's side.

As for the old house, Zhang Jianguo and Lin Yan will also take the Zhang family and their aunt back to live for a day or two when they have time, and meet and chat with the old neighbors.

The family conditions are better, the life is superior, the children are out, and the mood is getting better day by day, so this body is naturally fine.

Just like now, Sun Xia took the Zhang family to perm her hair, in the past, the Zhang family was absolutely unwilling, it costs a lot of money to perm the hair, and the Zhang family is reluctant to spend this money after saving a lifetime. But now this money is nothing to the Zhang family, and the old man has gradually thought about it, and with the development of society, the traditional concept has also changed.

"Why didn't you kid go out? Don't feel bored at home alone? ”

"It's not fun to go out, it's better to do your own thing at home." Zhang Hao replied casually, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the gift brought by Song Yuanchao.

Song Yuanchao handed him the thing with a smile: "This is for your sister, the girl's thing, this is for you." ”

“match box？” Zhang Hao's eyes lit up, and he took the box containing the toy and blurted out.

"You know this?"

"Of course you know, don't forget that I'm a member of the model airplane team of the Children's Palace!" Zhang Hao said proudly, as soon as he said this, Song Yuanchao remembered this, when Zhang Hao entered the Children's Palace, he still helped to pull the strings, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye, I heard that this kid is very beautiful in the model aircraft team.

"I almost forgot about it, by the way, I haven't asked you, I heard your dad say last year that you participated in the competition and won a prize?"

"Well, the first prize in the district and the second prize in the city." Zhang Hao nodded, and at the same time said with some regret: "If I hadn't participated late and didn't catch up with the last National Games, otherwise I would have been able to go to the National Games to get a medal." But Mr. Xie said, let me not be impetuous, prepare well, and let me participate in the National Games the year after tomorrow, and when you look at it, I will definitely come back with a championship! ”

"Ambitious!" Song Yuanchao praised that in the seventies and eighties, the model aircraft competition was one of the projects of the National Games, and this period was also the fastest and fastest period for the development of model aircraft in China.

At that time, China's model aircraft level was the top in the world, and many events set world records, but unfortunately for some reasons, the National Games later canceled the model aircraft competition at the end of the nineties, resulting in a full 24-year hiatus of this project, until 2017 to resume.

At first, Zhang Hao was clamoring to play model airplanes, but Zhang Jianguo was against it, but under the persuasion of Song Yuanchao, he still agreed to let Zhang Hao give it a try.

Song Yuanchao told him that boys should always have some hobbies, especially in science, so that they can cultivate their interest in science. Playing model airplanes is not only about playing, but more importantly, about understanding the relevant knowledge of model airplanes, which can also make Zhang Hao interested in learning.

It was precisely because of Song Yuanchao that Zhang Jianguo reluctantly agreed to Zhang Hao's request, but at the same time, he also agreed with him in three chapters, telling him that if he hindered his studies and caused his grades to drop, then there was no need to mention this matter.

But it turned out that Song Yuanchao's suggestion was right. Since Zhang Hao went to the Children's Palace, with the study and study of model aircraft, his interest in science has become much stronger. Because the process of manufacturing model aircraft requires a lot of knowledge in mathematics, physics and even other aspects, coupled with the guidance of Mr. Xie Ke, Zhang Hao gradually matured from a child who only knew how to play, and his learning was much more serious than before, and his grades were constantly improving with his efforts.
