Early the next morning, Chu Xiangqian got up early to practice boxing, and by the way, he tested and tested how the basic skills of patriotism, love for the people and love Lin were in the past two months.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the practice of boxing, Aiqiu, the little girl, got up and came out to find herself.

Seeing Chu Qianqian, the child's face was happy, he opened his little short legs, pounced on Chu Xiangqian's side, and hugged his legs.

Chu Xiangqian was helpless, so he could only bow his head and pick up the little thing that was only 6 years old, and he heard Aiqiu smile and say, "Big brother, I want to eat last night's meatloaf." ”

Yesterday, Chu Xiangqian returned to the courtyard, went out in the afternoon, first went to the grain store to buy 50 catties of white noodles, and then took out three catties of beef from the novice village.

In the evening, the family made beef pancakes, and the younger brothers and sisters who ate them were full of oil.

Three catties of beef and 1 catty of noodles made of meatloaf, Chu Xiangqian and Ehime didn't eat much, but the three teenage boys of Aiguo, Aimin, and Ailin were the time when the amount of food was the largest.

In addition, the second aunt and Aiqiu are also oily and watery, if they hadn't cooked millet porridge, the meatloaf might not be enough to eat.

However, this is also the most comfortable meal that the second aunt and patriot have eaten in the past two months.

"Okay, okay, my eldest brother will go out and buy you sesame baked cakes in a while, and then get some cooked beef head slices, and make you baked cakes and meat."

As soon as he heard that there was really meat to eat, Aiqiu happily hugged Chu Xiangqian and kissed him on the face.

Chu Xiangqian, who provoked him, laughed out loud.

In his eyes, the 6-year-old sister is actually not much different from his daughter.

And the little girl is so cute and beautiful that it's hard to like it.

However, this cuteness is only in front of Chu Xiangqian, and on weekdays, Aiqiu cries children of the same age in the yard.

The patriotic, the people and the Aiqiu, who were practicing martial arts, listened to the conversation between Chu Xiangqian and Aiqiu, and their faces also showed happy expressions.

Although Chu Xiangqian's grain book was handed over to the second aunt early, the family could have an extra 44 catties of grain every month.

When I left the capital two months ago, I left a lot of food stamps and money, and I won't be hungry.

But if you want to eat meat, it's basically impossible.

Every day Wowotou millet porridge with stir-fried shredded radish and cabbage, everyone will feel tired of eating.

But even so, the Chu family's food in the courtyard, and even in the vicinity of the courtyard, is considered to be excellent.

The three masters on the other side of the door are just 10,000 millet porridge like clear soup on weekdays, plus two small nests for one person, not to mention that they are full, that is, they will not die of hunger.

Chu Xiangqian looked at the three boys, who were distracted, and smiled and glanced at Aiqiu in his arms.

Xiao Nizi was very clever and immediately understood what Chu Xiangqian meant.

After shaking her calf a few times, Chu Xiangqian casually put her on the ground, and saw Aiqiu running to the corner of the wall on the side, taking a small bamboo stick, lifting it above her head and sending it to Chu Xiangqian.

Seeing this, Aiguo couldn't help but shudder.

The eldest brother really started beating people, and a stick was pumped on the legs and buttocks, which was called a pain.

Hurriedly tightened his mind, and while tightening his steps, he also reminded Aimin and Ailin.

The two boys retracted their minds and didn't give Chu Xiangqian a chance to beat them with a stick.

Aiqiu pouted regretfully on the side, and the three patriots who provoked her all stared at her dissatisfied.

The little thing became scared at this time, reached out and grabbed Chu Xiangqian's sleeve and pulled it, and when Chu Xiangqian picked her up again, he began to be proud again.

After practicing, Chu Xiangqian was satisfied with the performance of his three younger brothers, and he knew that in the past two months, the three of them had not been lazy.

It's right to think about it, if one person practices the exercises, 99 out of 100 will slack off.

However, if the three of them practice together, and if one person is lazy, there will be other people to remind them, and the enthusiasm for practicing will naturally be much stronger.

Telling the three brothers to rest, Chu Xiangqian simply took Aiqiu to buy breakfast.

All the way to the mouth of the alley, the state-run bun shop on the street.

Seeing that there were really meat buns for sale in the steamed bun shop, Chu Xiangqian didn't bother with any other effort, so he simply bought 10 big meat buns and went back.

After breakfast, I rode a bicycle to Xue Jinglan's side.

When I got to the vicinity of the compound, the bicycle turned a corner, and in a place where no one was, I took out two bamboo baskets.

Put a lot of chestnuts, dried red dates, dried bayberry, dried lychees, 4 big boxes of 5 catties, peach crisp, wife cakes, butter cookies and sesame peanut glutinous rice balls bought on Hong Kong Island.

Finally, bring 10 catties of salted beef, 10 catties of salted mutton, 4 dried fish of about 5 catties and a whole deer leg.

Not only is the number of etiquette sufficient, but even the main dishes and snacks of the Xue family's banquet are enough.

Passing by the gate of the compound, seeing that the doorman he knew was on duty again, Chu Xiangqian stopped the car, took out the bag from his pocket and threw it to the other party.

Then I said hello and rode my bike inside.

The other party took the cigarette and didn't stop saying anything, just let it go.

Seeing this, the other two guards standing guard with guns couldn't help but be curious.

You must know that your captain is notoriously iron-faced and selfless, not to mention smoking other people's cigarettes, even if you know someone, you have to stop to see what you bring.

When Chu Xiangqian was riding a bicycle, he glanced around a few times all the way, so as not to be recognized by Zhang Haiyang and a few boys in this courtyard.

Otherwise, they will definitely have to stop them again, and try their best to beg themselves to get them something to eat.

Of course, Zhang Haiyang and the others still understand the rules, although they are greedy, they also know how to exchange things.

It's not annoying.

However, if Chu Xiangqian said that he would invite guests to dinner, this group of boys would not be polite.

You have to eat a round belly, and it is difficult to walk before you are willing to walk.

When he arrived outside the Xue family's small building, as soon as he stopped the bicycle, Xue Jianguo opened the door from the inside and walked over quickly to help move the two bamboo baskets off the bicycles.

When Chu Qian walked in with a bamboo basket, Xiao Lan'er was already standing at the door with a bright smile on her face.

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly put down the bamboo basket and walked to his future daughter-in-law, "Lan Lan, I'm back." ”

A simple sentence made Xue Jinglan's eyes red with joy.

Holding back tears, he nodded busily, pulled Chu forward and walked into the house.

The two bamboo baskets could only be moved by Xue Jianguo.

When they entered the door, not only the old man, the old lady, uncles and aunts were there, but even Xue Hongmei and his wife were waiting for Chu Xiangqian to come to the door.

After some politeness, it was officially decided that the wedding would be held in five days.

lest the third child of the Xue family and the eldest grandson Xue Jianrong, who worked in the south, not be able to come back.

After the marriage was confirmed, Xue Jinglan's ears and neck were red, but the smile on her face remained undiminished.

The morning passed in a flash, and when I was eating at Xue's house at noon, there was actually a large plate of Erhe noodle steamed buns on the table.

The old man, Xue Xiaomin, said with a smile, "Thanks to the fact that you got a lot of grain from outside, otherwise you would have come back with Erhe noodles steamed buns, and it would have been good to have wowotou and boiled sweet potatoes to eat." ”

Although the capital is the capital, no matter how short of food there is, there will be no real food shortage.

But if you want to be full, even a family like the Xue family could only receive 8% of the share when they received food every month before.

Now, first of all, Chu Xiangqian bought 50,000 tons of corn kernels and 35,000 tons of rice from Luzon.

A few days ago, another 126,000 tons of wheat arrived in Tianjin from Hong Kong Island, and the first batch of 50,000 tons of wheat was also smoothly transported into the warehouse in Beijing yesterday.

The remaining 76,000 tonnes of wheat were shipped to the affected areas.

In this way, not only is there an emergency, but there is no need to transfer food from areas that have not been affected.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this, anyway, he collected the money, and there was no financial loss. helped the Celestial Empire again, and was comforted psychologically and spiritually.

For him, having done so much, there will be no psychological disturbance in the future.

After the change, as long as he doesn't mess around, basically the credit of the past is a talisman.

But after thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian had the advantage of a large amount of money, and the Celestial Empire would also welcome him.

The old lady, Tan Youli, Xue Hongmei and Xue Jinglan, although they didn't know how much food Chu Xiangqian got back from outside, Xue Xiaomin all showed gratitude to Chu Xiangqian, and the amount would definitely not be less.

However, the old lady and others only thought in their hearts that at most it was hundreds of thousands of catties, but they didn't know that the two batches were more than 200,000 tons.

If it is converted into catties, there are more than 400 million catties.

It is enough for people in the capital and surrounding cities to eat for ten days and half a month.

After lunch, Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin took Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jianguo to the study as usual.

Seeing this, Xue Hongmei shook her head helplessly. But my uncle Qiu Xicheng looked very open as always.

Although I didn't participate in this kind of family secret talk, I didn't have a lot of worries.

For people who are very self-motivated, it is naturally painful.

But in these years, it's actually a good thing.

After entering the study, Xue Jianguo took the initiative to rush to make tea, and then talked about whether to take Xue Jinglan to Hong Kong Island after getting married, or let Xiao Lan'er continue to stay in the capital.

Old man Xue actually hoped that his granddaughter would stay, not only because he was reluctant, but also because Chu Xiangqian had no parents.

Although the second uncle and the third uncle are close, they are separated by one floor, and the two of them did not follow to Hong Kong Island.

If Xue Jinglan followed Chu Xiangqian to Hong Kong Island, then there was really only one relative and dependence on Chu Xiangqian.

On the contrary, Xue Xiaomin hesitated for a few seconds and said, "This marriage, naturally husband and wife live together, and don't you come back in two or three months!"

When the time comes, I will take Lan Lan back to live for ten days and half a month.

And this kid knows that there is no shortage of money when he looks at it, and I heard that there are many nannies and maids on Hong Kong Island.

When Lan Lan is pregnant with a child, ask two experienced nannies to take care of her. ”

Chu Xiangqian heard that the boss probably wanted Xiao Lan'er to stay in the capital.

Thinking about this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help frowning, but thinking about it carefully, if he left Hong Kong Island, he couldn't leave Xiao Lan'er alone in the hilltop villa.

When the time comes, the little girl will definitely be terrified.

But if you need to go to England or the United States, you can send Xiaolan'er back to the capital first.

When the things outside are done, I will go back to the capital to pick her up and return to Hong Kong Island.

Or send a private jet to the capital to take the old lady and her mother-in-law to Hong Kong Island to accompany Xiao Lan'er.

In three or five years, Xiao Lan'er will already have children, maybe there will be more than one.

By the time the storm came, he had already adapted to life on Hong Kong Island.

As soon as this idea was said, the three generations of the Xue family's father and son all nodded in agreement.

Then talked about the affairs of the rice country, and Chu Xiangqian naturally chose to say something about his experience in the rice country.

As for how to buy wheat, there is not a word.

The old man Xue and the old man could only scold the little fox in their hearts, but after thinking about it seriously, the father and son of the Xue family became proud again.

The people sent out to buy grain were stuck by the Mi people and were not allowed to buy it, but Chu Xiangqian was able to buy grain within 1 month and shipped it back to the Celestial Empire.

In such a comparison, it is needless to say who is more powerful.

The only trouble is that it is difficult to say what those who go out to buy food and the people behind it.

Fortunately, the two supercomputers that Chu Xiangqian brought back last time were not only verified at this time, but also greatly helped the Celestial Empire to improve its computing and scientific research capabilities.

It can be said that in terms of credit, Chu Xiangqian is no less than those scientists in the northwest.

The boss has long listed Chu Xiangqian's information as the most core secret.

Not to mention looking at his information, even the files are in the hands of the second elder.

After the drawings of the impeachment of the submarine have been verified, Chu Xiangqian's file will definitely be more confidential.

Then he talked about the 1,000 Garand rifles, a few hundred Colt pistols and bullets that Chu Xiangqian wanted.

"The upper authorities have mobilized 3,000 American small arms from the sealed warehouses to the south. But when you're outside, don't mess around, at least these weapons won't get into the hands of our enemies. ”

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes angrily, "If I am willing to spend money, let alone a regiment's old weapons of World War II, even if it is the newly researched Garand improved rifle of the United States, I can buy it by the pound."

Moreover, the Mi Guoyan has long been free of money, and has sent old weapons everywhere to potential allies in South Vietnam and South America.

I have 1,000 Garands, and people don't look down on them! But if I give it to some people, they will be more active in helping me get food.

By the way, make some money to make up for the additional losses of buying rice people and checkpoints when buying grain.

Otherwise, 100,000 tons of grain per month, in less than three or five months, I would have to go bankrupt. More money will also be spent on food at home.

Instead of the CIF price to the Celestial Empire, as it is now, the cost price of $1 per bushel on the side of the United States. ”

After speaking, Chu Qianqian pretended to be sorry and sighed, "If the grain is transported to Africa or Southeast Asia, this batch of wheat with a total value of more than 4.6 million US dollars, I can make 3 or 4 million US dollars."

Three or four million a month is 50 million dollars a year. In less than two or three years, maybe I will be ranked among the top 100 richest people in Southeast Asia. ”

Xue Xueli, Xue Xiaomin and Xue Jianguo were confused after hearing this, and the per capita income of the Celestial Empire in 59 years was less than 200 Celestial Dynasty coins.

In other words, the money Chu earned in the previous year was worth the money that 6 or 7 million ordinary people earned in a year.

Or let's say, half a year's salary for everyone in the capital.

This loss is not insignificant.

However, after sighing, in addition to Xue Jianguo, the father and son Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin quickly understood that Chu Xiangqian was crying poor.

In other words, deliberately tell the boss how much credit he has.

If Chu Xiangqian asks for merit and reward for this, it will naturally make people unhappy, and even get bored if there are too many times.

But he did not mention the reward, but regarded it as a normal transaction in which he sold grain and gave gold. Then one can't help but feel grateful.
