January 20, 1966, was Chinese New Year's Eve.

All parts of the country have entered the moment of celebration, whether it is rural or urban, the flavor of the New Year has reached the strongest moment.

The Xu family in Beihe Hutong is also very lively.

A dozen or twenty little kids, chasing and playing in the yard, from outside the house to inside the house, did not stop throughout the day.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is more hearty and delicious than in previous years.

The main thing is that it is full of color and flavor.

Because Xu Qianqian has already been out of the school, he can burn a big stove.

The profession of chef is divided into large stove, medium stove and small stove, there is no doubt that the big stove is a big pot of rice, and the technical requirements are not high.

But in the case of small stoves, the requirements are much higher.

And Xu Qianqian is now a big stove, and it is not a teacher.

But after all, he has a hard background, and his mother-in-law Tan Fuying often helps to open a small stove for him.

So, even if he only burns a big stove now, his cooking skills in a small stove are already very good.

Others go from apprentice to teacher, and they will never be able to do it in seven or eight years.

But it only takes more than four years for a thousand years.

After all, he didn't have long to do chores such as serving vegetables and cutting vegetables, and he didn't need to boil up these hours.

In addition, Feng Zeyuan does not need to stay for thousands of years this year, so he can go home directly to become a chef.

With him as the chef, Zhou Hongmei and the others could only abdicate and make way for Xian, and they helped out on the side.

There is not a lot of work in the kitchen.

However, after all, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of a family of thirty or forty people, relying only on Xu Qian's own words, it will definitely not work.

By this year, the population of Lao Xu's family has broken through

The old family has five sisters and brothers, Xu Xiaoqian, Xu Xiaoman, Xu Yuanzhong and Xu Yuancheng, a total of seven people.

The second family is Xu Weidong, Xu Weibing and Xu Yisu, three brothers and sisters, a total of five people.

Yao Chunxi gave birth to a total of two children, Xu Luwan, Xu Boqiu and Xu Yuanjun, a total of three children, and a family of five.

Lou Xiao'e gave birth to three children, Xu Xiahao and Xu Paner are daughters, and the third child was born at the end of December 65, and she is still a daughter, so she directly uses the name Xu Yilian.

When she had a second child before, she still thought that it would be good to have a son in her third child.

As a result, it did not come to fruition, and it could only continue to regenerate.

Anyway, her family is not afraid of having many children, even if they give birth to five or six, the family can afford to raise them.

What's more, now that Xu Qianqian has also graduated from school, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to raise children.

She feels guilty about Xu Qianqian, mainly because Xu Qianqian is so good to her, but her belly is always unhappy, and her three children are daughters in a row.

is almost a copy of her sister-in-law Hu Meifeng, who always can't give birth to a son.

For many years, the family is a family of eight, so Lao Xu and his family are already thirty-three.

And Xu Simei's family is a family of six, and Jiang Xiuer's four sisters and brothers are all there, but her father Jiang Dongyang is not on the side of Beihe Hutong.

Because Jiang Dongyang also has to accompany his mother to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year.

Who made his mother go too far, causing Xu Simei to refuse to forgive her mother-in-law.

Therefore, now there are a total of 38 people on this side of Beihe Hutong.

There are more than 20 children alone, so it's not very lively.

"It's open!"

At 4:45 p.m., accompanied by a shout from Xu Qianqian, Xiaodoubao and their children all shouted excitedly.

In the yard, there is a strong smell everywhere, as well as the smell of firecrackers.

Xu Weidong, a half-sized boy, took the incense and began to light firecrackers.

It is also a family tradition to fire guns before cooking.

If it weren't for the ancestors, they would all be on the southern side, and they wouldn't be able to worship.

According to southern tradition, on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve and the morning of the first day of the new year, it is necessary to carry sacrifices to worship ancestors.

Now in the capital, everything is simple, just light a firecracker, and it will be counted.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, four tables were divided to sit down.

The living room was not spacious enough, and I was forced to clean up the warehouse on the left.

Rao is so, and it is quite crowded and narrow.

However, starting next year, it is estimated that you will not be able to eat Chinese New Year's Eve like this.

So this year is about the last year, and it will take 80 years or later to eat such a reunion dinner again.

It's just that by that time, the fourth generation of the family is estimated to have come out, right?

Xu Weidong was born in 1955, and by 1980, he would be 25 years old.

At the age of twenty-five, you must be married.

Besides, Xu Xiaoqian was born in 1949, and by the time she was 80, she was 31 years old.

Even if she really went to live on Hong Kong Island, at the age of thirty-one, she should get married and have children.

He obviously cares more about his children than his nephews and nieces.

used to love Xu Xiaoqian's three little ones, but now, the attention is more on Xiaodoubao and their six children.

Eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I sighed for many years, and immediately devoted myself to enjoying the food.

Happy times always fly by.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner passed, and the first day of the new year came, but soon it passed again.

In the second year of junior high school, the six children were sent to their grandparents' house for many years, and in the third year of junior high school, they were sent directly to the stone temple.

Almost every year, during the Chinese New Year, the children are sent to the stone temple for a while.

Usually they occasionally send them to the stone temple, and their grandfather and grandfather are rare for their children.

Now, many years have been interning in the hospital for several years, and his master doesn't have much to teach him.

Therefore, he sent Xiaodoubao and his children to his master Zhang Mingde, who didn't know how happy he was.

In the past few years, Xiaodoubao and their sisters have learned a lot of medicinal and herbal knowledge, as well as some basic aspects of medicine.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still too young, Zhang Mingde would probably be ready to start teaching acupuncture.

The children were not at home, so they took Qin Huairu to the vicinity of the capital for many years, and they were addicted to the world of two people.

It's true that people are social animals, and at a time like the Chinese New Year, they should have a family reunion.

But for many years and Qin Huairu, almost every day is a reunion.

On the contrary, there is very little time left for the two of them to get along in the world.

Therefore, it will be like this for many years, taking Qin Huairu around.

In the area around the capital, there are not many interesting places, and you can't go too far, after all, you need a letter of introduction or something.

Fortunately, they went to the wilderness, but there was no chaos.

After returning to the capital, the year has passed.

The children are still in the mountains, and they haven't picked them up for many years, because Zhang Mingde had said before that they should stay for a while longer.

Anyway, on the side of the stone temple, there is no way to expand on the top of the mountain, but the farm at the foot of the mountain has re-expanded a lot of houses.

There are a lot of poultry such as vegetable gardens and chickens, ducks and geese.

So there is no need to worry about the children not being able to eat well in the mountains, not being warm or anything.

In normal times, I have also helped for many years, going to chop wood and the like.

Among those houses, there were three rooms, and they were full of firewood, enough for Xiao Doubao and their children to be Huo Huo for a long time.

Qin Huairu went to work, and it was the same for many years.

In the evening of that day, many years after getting off work, he had dinner at home, and then went to Lou's house with his fourth brother and sister-in-law.

Coming here today, he is preparing to persuade Lou Bancheng to leave the capital.

Xiaomei is ready, and when the beginning of February comes, he will personally send her to Hong Kong Island.

During the Spring Festival, Lou Xiao'e had been told for many years, so there was today's conversation.

After arriving at the place, I looked at the luxurious villa in front of me for many years, and I was not envious at all.

Living in such a luxurious villa at this time is simply a big light bulb in the dark night, which can be attacked at any time.

It stands to reason that the Beihe Hutong where he lives is actually luxurious enough.

But the decoration of Beihe Hutong is like that.

Except for the addition of living facilities such as toilets, other aspects are lackluster, and there is not much difference from the neighbors.

The only difference is that many years of delicious dishes are often passed out from the house.

However, his family is rich, and there are thousands of such chefs in the family, which is nothing new.

At most, the neighbors will say a few sour words, but they will not go to the street office or other places to complain.

After all, many years of salary, the origin is very clear and transparent.

What's more, Director Wang of the Street Office often went to his house for many years to chat, and he was the director of the security department for many years, so no one would say anything.

On the other hand, Lou Bancheng's family is completely different.

First, he was a capitalist himself, and before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was an oppressive and exploiting class.

Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, rolling mills and other enterprises, soon public-private partnerships.

But Lou Bancheng is still rich, and his family is too rich.

Second, although Lou Bancheng is low-key, it is very limited.

Neighbor, who doesn't know that he is a capitalist?

Unless Lou Bancheng donates all the money, otherwise, the three words of capitalist will never be able to get rid of.

Third, the villa area is not small, and it also has its own garden.

Different from the small world closed by the courtyard, the villa is a place where outsiders can see clearly at a glance what beautiful flowers and plants are in the garden, and they can also see some scenes in the villa through the window.

It is for this reason that the Lou family is a piece of meat in the eyes of many people.

"Old Five, what's wrong?"

Seeing that he had stood still for many years, Xu Qianqian cared.

Lou Xiao'e also cast a curious gaze, and Xu Xiahao, a little kid, also stared at it with wide eyes.

"It's okay, let's go inside."

Shaking his head, he didn't say anything for many years.

At the door of the villa, Lou Bancheng and Tan Fuying had been standing for a while, and there was a housekeeper and cooking aunt next to them.

Lou's family is so big, it definitely needs someone to help take care of it.

It can't be Lou Bancheng who takes care of it himself, right?

"Director Xu, welcome to your presence, it really makes the humble house shine."

Seeing a few people coming in for many years, Lou Bancheng was quite enthusiastic, but he ignored Xu Xiahao's granddaughter, and the little guy was suddenly unhappy.

There were children present, and everyone got along quite well.

After entering the villa, he looked at it quietly for many years, secretly surprised.

What's special is that these furniture are all imported sofas, and they don't cost one or two thousand yuan.

Sure enough, he is a capitalist, and he is really rich!

Even if it is replaced with golden silk nan wood furniture, it is stronger than these imported sofas.

He also said 'low-key'!!

For many years, I didn't know where the Lou family's low-key was.

Perhaps what they thought was low-key was the change from driving a Ferrari with one hand to driving an Audi A4L with both hands, which was low-key enough, right?

It's really speechless!

He didn't say anything, but continued to greet Lou Bancheng and his family.

After a while, Lou Bancheng invited many years to the study for a secret talk.

In the study, I haven't seen a lot of books for many years, and I'm interested for a while.

"Uncle Lou, you also like to read medical books?"

Looking at the medical books on the shelves, many years can be seen at a glance, some books, although well preserved, are obviously traces of flipping.

Lou Bancheng immediately smiled:

"Yes, I haven't had anything to do over the years, and I'm idle, so I like to read these books."

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Xu works in the general hospital, right? You can flip through it, and if you have a book you like, take it later."

Many years shook his head and said:

"Uncle Lou, I can't openly do things that violate discipline, if there is a book I like, I can buy it myself"

Who knows, Lou Bancheng said that many of these books were given by his old friends, and there are many books that have never been published.

You can't find it on the market!

In addition, some books are out of print, and it is estimated that these books in his hands are already the only ones.

Lou Bancheng was a capitalist before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and during the Republic of China, he also sponsored many people.

Moreover, he has a close relationship with many famous doctors in the capital.

After all, Lou Bancheng is also a person who is afraid of death.

Therefore, after the liberation of the capital, many doctors died and fled, but he was forced to stay because he was reluctant to roll mills and other enterprises.

Despite this, he left behind quite a few medical books.

In the years before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did not have time to look through these books.

It was only in the last few years that he had to immerse himself in reading books as a hobby to kill time.

Hearing what the other party said, many years immediately said:

"Since that's the case, then wait until I make a choice, and trouble Uncle Lou to arrange the printing, and I'll give Uncle Lou the money for printing at that time."

Lou Bancheng responded with a smile, planning in his heart, when the time comes, you can just send the book directly, and the money will be forgotten.

He was prepared to do it, but not for many years.

One yard is one yard, not to mention that he is not short of money, so he can't do this.

After chatting about these idle things, it took many years to get straight to the point and talk to each other about some recent things.

Gao Bukun, Shen Youmin, Luo Xiongcai, Chen Boqi, Yin Zhilan, Lu Wentao and so on, Lou Bancheng should have heard of them.

Speaking of this, Lou Bancheng was immediately very surprised:

"Strange to say, I also have a few good friends, and they are all planning to leave the capital in the next month or two."

"Xiao Xu, after all, you are the director of the security department, have you received any rumors?"

Many years shook his head and said:

"I haven't heard anything about it, but in a few days, I'll send my sister to Hong Kong Island."

"Hong Kong Island?" Lou Bancheng glared, "Didn't you say that Hong Kong Island was very chaotic?" ”

"Chaos, too, relatively"

After a pause, many years continued:

"With Uncle Lou's assets and ability, I went to Hong Kong Island, hired a few bodyguards to protect him, and then invested in building a factory, not to mention becoming bigger and stronger, at least I can have no worries about food and clothing."

Hearing this for many years, Lou Bancheng's heart was suddenly moved.

If he can start a new business, the temptation for him is not small.

Although he is not young, after all, he has only just turned sixty years old, and his health is still very good, so he can live another year or two.

With such time, why not toss a thing or two?

Seeing that the other party was a little moved, he continued to say for many years:

"Uncle Lou should have heard my fourth sister-in-law say that I used to travel a lot, and almost every time I went on a business trip, I had to pass through Hong Kong Island."

"So, I'm quite familiar with Hong Kong Island, and it's not chaotic over there, as long as it's right."

Let's talk briefly about Hong Kong Island, and at the same time, for many years, I talked about the entrepreneurship and employment environment there.

To be honest, the current business environment on Hong Kong Island is actually quite difficult.

But that's only relatively speaking, for people like Lou Bancheng, it's a good environment like a fish in water.

Without him!

Today's environment on Hong Kong Island, both inside and outside, is not the best environment for doing business.

However, no matter how bad it is, can it be compared to the Republic of China that was occupied by small days?

Under the background of that era, Lou Bancheng could be mixed with wind and water.

There is no reason why you can't mix it up on Hong Kong Island, where the environment is relatively secure.

After listening to it for many years, Lou Bancheng was even happier, and he probably had already made a decision in his heart.

From the capital to Hong Kong Island, he also thought about it before.

It's just that he is not familiar with Hong Kong Island, and his eyes are completely black.

In addition, they can't give up the family resources of the rolling mill, so it has become the current situation.

But now he has been a rich man for more than ten years, and he is about to have problems.

At the age of being old and strong, Lou Bancheng also wants to be Cao Cao, middle-aged and elderly entrepreneurs, and their ambitions are thousands of miles!

"Xiao Xu, do you have any channels to arrange for me to go to Hong Kong Island to investigate one or two?"

After hearing this for many years, he shook his head directly and said:

"Uncle Lou, it's not that I'm not willing to help you, but the current environment is not allowed!"

"The most important thing is that my position is actually not suitable for you to be too close!"

Lou Bancheng was suddenly startled and hesitated: "Then you come to me now, aren't you taking a big risk?" ”

Nonsense!

However, for many years, it was not explicitly stated.

His identity does not allow him to have a close relationship with Lou Bancheng, but it doesn't matter if he meets.

Then he changed his words and said:

"Actually, I still want my fourth brother to go to Hong Kong Island."

Yes, only Xu Qianqian also went to Hong Kong Island, and it was not completely relieved for many years.

It's just that Xiaomei is over there, how can he rest assured?

Although he would talk to Yu Guangyuan and ask them to help take care of Xiaomei.

But people have their own things, and it is impossible to stare at Xiaomei every day.

So, if there are thousands of years over there, then everything is well said.

can also explain why he came to Lou's side tonight.

After all, he had to persuade Lou Xiao'e to follow Xu Qianqian to Hong Kong Island.
