Chapter 262: Guest
March 15, 1970.
Sunday.
Early in the morning, when most of the rich people living in the middle of the mountain were still in a deep sleep, Li Yuan had already gotten up, stood with his two sons for a while, and then took the two to the Central market at the bottom of the mountain.
The Central Market is probably the most famous and longest-standing wet market on Hong Kong Island, dating back to 1842......
It was only half past five in the morning, and the market was already full of people.
There are many kinds of seafood in the vegetable market, and it is inevitable that the ground will be dirty.
Add to that a spring rain last night, which made the roads even muddy......
Li Xing is okay, when he was a child in Sijiu City, he often went to Qinjiazhuang to play, and there were many times when he rolled in the dirt.
Since Li Sicai was born, he has not had much muddy smell, not to mention the sewage mixed with the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
Along the way, the little face turned miserable white......
Li Yuan didn't know it, picked fresh dishes and seafood from various stalls, and only left the Central Market with Li Xing and the dying Li Si after more than half an hour.
Out of the market, Li Si was stimulated by the fresh air, but he couldn't help but spit it out.
Li Xing patted his back on the side, and when he saw his father, he felt sorry for his younger brother, and said, "Dad, there are also vegetables sold in the department store, why are we here?" ”
Li Yuan said: "Broaden your horizons. I was also influenced by Xiao Si to bring you here. ”
"Huh?!"
Li Si's tone has changed, influenced by him?
Li Yuan smiled: "Xiao Si said that many of the children in their kindergarten think that the citizens who live in the squatter area are not human. Even ordinary citizens, those who work hard but still can't make money, are waste. These false words can only say one thing, these people and their families have shrunk their world by more than half. Because the vast majority of people in the world are still ordinary people, and most of them are poor. If you consciously reject being the same kind as these people, it is equivalent to cutting your world into a small corner and appreciating yourself. Such a person will be defeated sooner or later. Also, life will lose many, many colors of richness. I don't want you to be stupid like that. ”
Li Si screamed: "Dad, but these are their opinions, not mine." ”
Li Yuan smiled: "So, I'll just bring you here once in a while." If your brother thinks the same way, then I will take you to the vegetable market every day. ”
Even Li Xing couldn't laugh anymore, the smell inside was really ...... Terror.
If you come every day, it will be miserable......
After the two of them said again and again that they would never be so inhuman, Li Yuan drove the two of them home with a smile.
In fact, it is not only him who teaches his son many truths so early, Li Cucumber's son will be taken to the company every weekend to watch him have meetings and quarrels with the people in the company, and then he or the senior management of the company will explain the business principles to the two gherkins after the meeting.
This kind of education method is nothing new in the wealthy family.
The world is so real and cruel that later the elites promoted happy education in society while strengthening the education of their children.
Because if the children of the lower social groups are not allowed to go to school with ease and happiness, their children will have more and more difficult management in the future......
Perhaps, this can be regarded as a kind of deep love for children......
Li Yuan is powerless to change this kind of social law, and can only fulfill the responsibility of a father.
……
"Wow, seafood porridge this morning?"
At eight o'clock in the morning, Erlou came to the restaurant with her three children, and after smelling the fragrance, they all smiled with peach blossoms on their faces.
Both of them love seafood porridge, and the faint fishy smell is the right thing to do......
After being satisfied with the crab roe bun and eating breakfast, Lou Xiao'e asked, "Are the classmates of Tangyuan coming to the house as guests today?" ”
Li Yuan nodded, and Li Xing smiled.
Lou Xiao'e and Bai Li Yuan glanced at it and said: "Children are messing around, and adults are also messing around?" ”
Li Yuan said with a smile: "The friendship of children is not really anything. No matter how big it is, it is estimated that they will all go out to study abroad, and they will not see each other once in a few years. Childhood friendships are the most precious and should be cared for. ”
Lou Xiu also said: "It should be so." ”
Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips, rubbed her son's hair vigorously, and said, "When I heard it, I think you are just good friends, not girlfriends, don't mess up this relationship yourself and hurt other girls." ”
Li Xing was just happy, and then ran out with his younger brother to play.
Li Yuan continued to work in the kitchen, while Erlou began to take care of the children while tidying up himself.
There are guests arriving today, and they are not dressed too casually, and they have lost their manners......
At about half past ten, He Pingshi's mother, Ms. Lan Qiongying, was sent by the driver to Li's house, and almost at the same time, it was Cao Wenjin's boat Wang's car, and Cao Yongshan's mother Feng Meihui also arrived with her daughter.
Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu pushed the stroller to greet them at the door, and Lan Qiongying and Feng Meihui were embarrassed to see each other: "Oh, it's really disturbing!" ”
Lou Xiao'e smiled brightly and said, "What's the bother, it's more lively to come to the guest's house." ”
Lan Qiongying was originally from the mainland, and after coming to Hong Kong Island with her family in 49, her family ran a mid-range silk shop.
And then...... At the age of fourteen, she married He Gambling Wang, and at the age of nineteen, she gave birth to He Pingshi.
Therefore, she is four years younger than Lou Xiao'e, and she is only twenty-six or seventeen years old this year.
He is very observant and very, very intelligent.
Feng Meihui was born in the Feng family on Hong Kong Island, and she is an old and wealthy family, and she looks much simpler.
In short, the host family is warm, and the guests are well-educated, and they are easy and happy to get along with.
Li Yuan set up a long table on the garden lawn, covered it with a white tablecloth, and prepared milk, drinks and red wine.
Then he took Li Xing and his two classmates to bring out a plate of fragrant delicacies.
"Dr. Li, I don't know if there are nine turns of the large intestine today? After eating at your house that day, I thought about it for a long time! ”
Lan Qiongying looked at Li Yuan and asked with a smile, she stared at Li Yuan and felt pleasing to the eye.
He Gambling Wang's appearance is already one of the best among the tycoons on Hong Kong Island, but compared with Li Yuan, it is still a big difference.
He Pingshi was embarrassed, and said angrily: "Mommy~"
Lan Qiongying encouraged her: "Fatty, you have to eat more for a while, you know?" Uncle Li's cooking is really the best dish Mommy has ever eaten, I told your father that he still doesn't believe it, whatever he wants, he won't have a chance to eat it anyway. ”
Everyone around laughed, and Li Si even circled around this beautiful doll-like sister, and called tentatively: "Chubby? He thought he had misheard.
He Pingshi's face turned red, and then she crossed her waist and glared at Li Si and said, "Xiao Si, be polite!" ”
Li Yuan didn't hold back, and laughed.
Good guy, is this the style of holding up the sister-in-law?
It's so much fun to be a little kid......
But who would have thought that a few decades later, this little girl with the same childish face as Barbie, after her father's death, would use a series of super-tough means to subdue the broken tooth foal who once pointed the gun at He Gambling King, let him obediently be a cultural propaganda ambassador, and use the mainland's foreign aid to bombard the invincible Huahua into powder with one palm, and never turn over!
completely subdued the four rooms of the He family, which was the most in the limelight, and made the four wives who opened their teeth and claws honestly bow their heads.
As a lonely woman, she is in charge of the 500 billion family business left by He Gambling King.
Looking at the second generation of Hong Kong and Kowloon giants, there is no second person with such a demeanor.
Tut!
But what kind of character does Li Si have, he just glanced at this eldest brother's girlfriend with slanted eyes, grinned and ran away.
Sometimes he doesn't even accept his eldest brother, let alone a little sister-in-law?
Li Yuan continued the preface: "The first one is the nine-turn large intestine, the essence of Lu cuisine, I ate it last time, so I won't say much." The first one is roasted sea cucumber with green onions, and I also ate it last time......"
Lan Qiongying praised: "Dr. Li's roasted sea cucumber with green onions is also a must!" The sea cucumber is soft and delicious, and the green onion is fragrant and delicious! Then he turned his head and praised Er Lou: "Dr. Li has such great ability, and he cares for his family so much, what a good man!" ”
Erlou smiled and nodded, Feng Meihui looked at the complexion and beauty of the two sisters, their faces were radiant, and they were both puzzled and a little envious.
Not to mention wealthy families on Hong Kong Island, ordinary citizens who have a 400-square-foot house at home dare to marry two wives.
But to be honest, the life of marrying two wives is really not so easy, a man and a wife will quarrel, not to mention a man and two wives, it is a common phenomenon to live a chicken feather.
There are very few people like the Li family who have a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.
What she was puzzled about was that there really was such a generous woman......
What I envy is that the relationship between monogamy and bigamy is so good.
She is the daughter-in-law of the head of the Cao family, although the man is the son of the Cao family, he has no interest in the family business, he studied architectural design in the United States alone, and is addicted to this industry, and he does not want to return to Hong Kong Island to take over the family business.
Marrying such a second coercion made Feng Meihui feel very hurt......
Li Yuan helped her heal: "Today I made three new dishes: fried double crispy and three shark fins, and a famous dish, the first dish of the Manchu and Han banquets, the four treasures of white steak." One cup per person, everyone tastes it. ”
Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, and she said to Lan Qiongying and Feng Meihui: "This is delicious, we don't usually eat much, but today we have a mouthful!" ”
After the guests sat down, Li Xing first whispered a few words to He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan, and then he stood up and said, "Dad has worked hard, thank you Dad for the delicious lunch." ”
He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan laughed together: "Uncle Li has worked hard, thank you Uncle Li for your delicious lunch." ”
Li Si tilted his head sideways to look at the goods, his eyes straightened......
Hit the street, what kind of thing is this?
The adults laughed and applauded, and thanked Li Yuan for his hard work.
Li Yuan smiled at the two little girls and said, "You're welcome, if you have a chance in the future, you are welcome to come to the house often." ”
He Pingshi said: "Uncle Li, I also want to invite your family to my house as a guest, but my father can't cook." ”
Li Yuan laughed and said, "It's okay, just let Mr. He cook some sugar water for us to drink." ”
He Pingshi chuckled, readily agreed, then sat down and began to taste the deliciousness.
After lunch, Li Xing got up and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, subconsciously felt that something was wrong, the little follower around him didn't move, looked at the second brother Li Si, and found that he was still sitting there with his eyes open.
Li Xing was puzzled, Li Si pouted to the side, and his meaning was: Call those two to do it together!
Li Xing: "......"
He shook his head, he didn't force anything, but seeing that he was doing it alone, Li Si muttered a few words, and got up to help......
He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan chatted for a while before they hurried to help.
They hadn't done any of these things for as long as they could remember.
Lan Qiongying saw it in her eyes, and then looked at Li Yuan, who was sitting on the side drinking tea and teasing her three younger sons, and sighed to Erlou: "Your family is really a good tutor!" ”
Hong Kong and Kowloon are so big, the circle of wealthy families is even smaller, and if something happens, everything you should know will be known in a few days.
How the Li family made a fortune and how many family backgrounds they have, Lan Qiongying naturally knows it clearly.
Wealthy families on Hong Kong Island have hired maids, and families like theirs use self-combing women.
With the current net worth of the Li family, they are completely self-combing, and they don't need to touch all the trivial chores, as long as they enjoy life.
But Li Yuan was cooking by himself, the two wives took care of the children's eating, drinking, and Lasa, and the two eldest sons cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks......
This is rarely seen in Hong Kong Island giants.
Lou Xiao'e smiled: "I can't talk about it, it's an ordinary family." ”
Lan Qiongying was very good at talking, and asked about the customs of the northern continent, and after the children packed up the dishes and chopsticks, the two families said goodbye and left.
After seeing off the guests, the family took a lunch break.
In the master bedroom, Lou Xiao'e asked Li Yuandao: "The second wife of the gambling king has never said it, please go and help her eldest wife see a doctor?" ”
Li Yuan smiled, that woman looked clever and very talkative, but she was definitely a ruthless character.
The three daughters and one son of the big house are dead and crazy, and it doesn't matter if you want to say that they are crazy...... It's hard to say anyway.
The death of Wang Dafang's son was still a mystery before he crossed over.
I only know that after the death of the eldest son of the gambling king, Lan Qiongying, who had been alone for nearly 30 years, took her son to Canada, and then had three and four rooms......
On the other side, Lou Xiu said softly: "You have always made the children in the family realize that they are just children of ordinary people, are you preventing them from fighting in the future?" ”
Li Yuan said with a smile: "They have nothing to fight for, one person and one industry, we provide financial and technical support, whether they can become a dragon or an adult, it all depends on themselves." Let them live more down-to-earth, that is, let them have a sober understanding of the world. ”
Lou Xiao'e grinned and said, "Then are we still alive?" That's six kids! ”
Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "It's almost enough, if you have a child, you won't have your own life for a few years, and if you keep giving birth, then you won't be able to do anything in your life." We don't live just to have children, we have to have our own lives, right? Besides, six is already a lot. ”
Lou Xiu smiled and said, "We are enough, Xiao'e three, I two, but there is only one in my hometown." ”
In all fairness, Lou Xiu has seen so many women, and Qin Daxue's spirit is still unmatched, including these women on Hong Kong Island.
So I have always had some worries in my heart......
Li Yuan patted her little round buttocks and said, "I wish there wouldn't be a single one over there, I can't take care of this one, and I will accept you as my mother next year." ”
Lou Xiu said with a smile: "The heroine among women is indeed extraordinary. Rule...... It is much more atmospheric than rich and auspicious. ”
Lou Xiao'e suddenly giggled and said proudly: "I think it's best to be rich!" ”
Thinking of his own fat three boys, he climbed fast every day, and Li Siwa, who was chasing, laughed at the family of three, and after a while, they fell asleep together......
