"Daddy!"

Lao Bao could sense the excitement in Bao Guowei's voice, and he looked at the young man in a gray cotton suit standing at the door of the small mansion.

In the faint morning light, Bao Guowei could be seen holding a letter in his right hand, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

Bao Guowei took a shower last night, and before he had time to apply oil to his hair this morning, a gust of wind blew, and his slightly long hair fluttered in the wind.

No matter how many times he watched it, Lao Bao always felt that Bao Guowei was a bit like himself when he was young.

"Huh!"

Lao Bao agreed.

"You quit that man's job!"

"Good!"

"What I said is true!"

Bao Guowei heard Lao Bao agree so happily, and he thought he was joking.

"What I said is also true!"

Lao Bao agreed loudly, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of the somewhat thin egg soup, only to feel a sore feeling welling up in his nose.

Although Lao Bao is not smart, not as good as Hu Da, he is by no means a fool.

When he saw Master Qin and Section Chief Gao at the banquet that day flattering Bao Guowei, he already knew in his heart that one day he could "break free" from the shackles that bound him for a lifetime.

I just didn't expect this day to come so suddenly and so quickly.

As Bao Guowei said: "Are there people in this world who are born to be cheap? ”

The fact that he is a subordinate has always been a thorn in Lao Bao's heart.

This thorn is not thick, but it pierces deeply, tormenting him every day since he was a child, teasing his nerves.

Recently, especially after Bao Guowei went to school, this thorn began to become thicker and thicker, and even made Lao Bao a little painful.

At night, Lao Bao often lies alone in bed, covered with a thin quilt, tossing and turning - unable to sleep.

Wait, wait, finally, finally—wait until this day.

Saying this, Lao Bao seemed to have unloaded the burden he had been carrying for decades, and the ubiquitous thorn seemed to be out of his body.

I just feel that all the fatigue, all the suffering, and everything in my body seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

Lao Bao wiped his eyes and looked at Bao Guowei, who was at the gate of the courtyard with his hands crossed on his waist, looking left and right in the courtyard, looking still a little excited.

He didn't know how much he hoped that Guowei Niang could see Bao Guowei like this now-this high-spirited young man's appearance, a glance is enough to make people feel excited!

Today's Bao Guowei is as if—as if—everything in this world can't help but make this son difficult.

In the past, it was the old Bao who sheltered Bao Guowei from the wind and rain, and today it is finally Bao Guowei's turn to become the pillar of this family.

"Guowei, Guowei...... Damn, Guowei has the ability now, do you see? Did you see that? If only I could ...... later."

Si people have passed away, there is no need to worry, Lao Bao often recited this sentence, and he always couldn't do it.

……

Bao Guowei took a leave of absence in the school, and today he has to deal with some "chores" with Lao Bao

To the west of the city, every inch of land is at a premium, and most of the powerful and wealthy businessmen live here - green trees and high-rise buildings.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Bao and his son walked all the way, and in addition to seeing all kinds of vendors, stock exchanges, restaurants, and many comic shops, book stores, dance halls, movie halls and other industries.

The entertainment industry has always been very profitable in the west of the city, so there are many stores, but this industry is almost extinct in the south of the city, where the only entertainment industry is the Qinglou, and perhaps a large smoke house will be added.

While passing by a high-end hotel, Bao Guowei finally stood still.

The hotel is called Tiandi Jinlou Hotel, which is located at the intersection of the central street in the west of the city - a traffic artery.

The restaurant is more than ten meters high, covers a vast area, and the outer layer is inlaid with blue glass, reflecting the bright sunlight, which is a landmark building.

"Tiandi Jinlou Hotel, it's near here."

Reading the signboard hanging on the top of the hotel, Bao Guowei looked around:

The traffic is busy and bustling, and the pedestrians on the road, both men and women, are very cleanly dressed.

Luxury rickshaw drivers pull customers, black classic cars slowly pass through the streets, and you can even see the guards managing the traffic on the roadside.

A newsboy in a black hat and clean clothes stood by the side of the crossroads, shouting with a stack of mimeographed newspapers in his hand.

As the newsboy's little hand shook, the gray newspaper rattled.

"Suzhou Daily! 3 cents a piece".

Every morning, when the newspaper office distributes newspapers, a group of children will rush in like locusts, scrambling to grab a first-hand newspaper and rush to the street to sell it, in order to make a small profit of four or five cents for a newspaper.

Even the poor must wear clean clothes here, otherwise they will not even be able to do business, and they will be driven away by the government soldiers.

In short, compared with the south of the city, the west of the city is simply a heaven and an underground.

……

The father and son walked more than 100 steps to the west, and on the second road on the west side of the central street in the north of the city, there was a stone-walled house, and a small building could be seen standing inside from the outside.

The red door of the house was closed, and the two ends were fastened with gold rings, and a trapezoidal lock was fastened on the gold ring.

Bao Guowei took out the key from his trouser pocket, inserted it into the big lock on it, and twisted it slightly.

"Click", the big lock opened.

Bao Guowei grabbed the golden ring and opened the door hard, only to feel that his eyes suddenly opened up.

There are no superfluous buildings in the courtyard, and there is a small western-style building standing alone, the main body is built with gray bricks and stones, and some red bricks and stones are embellished.

The door of the small western-style building is an arched door, the wooden door is painted with white paint, and the upper part is inlaid with transparent glass, and several white wooden horizontal bars divide the glass into several pieces, which looks extremely regular.

The house covers an area of about 150 square meters, and the small western-style building has a visual survey of nearly 100 square meters, with a total of two floors.

……

"Guowei, this house is really our family?"

Standing in front of the arch of the small western-style building, Lao Bao still felt like a dream - such a good-looking small western-style building will be his own from now on?

"Even the title deed will be available soon, even if it's our family, of course!"

Hearing the words of confirmation from Bao Guowei's mouth, Lao Bao finally confirmed that this house will be the Bao family in the future.

Although Lao Bao has no culture, he can't help but want to chant a poem in the face of this situation:

The house is really big! What a mansion! Once upon a time, I only saw the old man live! Finally arrived at my house this year!

The father and son were a little excited, and Bao Guowei opened the door and stepped into the small western-style building first.

When you open the door, you will find the main hall, where the walls and ceilings are painted with white plaster powder all over the place, which is extremely smooth.

The floor is a square marble, the specifications are very flat, and the patterns on it are also very natural.

There is a mahogany table against the wall of the living room, and there is a stove for heating, and the furniture in the various rooms has not yet been seen!

Lao Bao walked in after Bao Guowei, and was stunned when he saw the marble floor, and subconsciously looked up:

There is a palace lamp hanging from the ceiling, and several transparent glasses are hung on the palace lamp.

Seeing a white mechanism on the wall, Lao Bao was a little excited, and he walked over tremblingly.

A calloused hand was placed on the side of the mechanism and pressed it gently, as if afraid of breaking the switch.

"Smack!"

The switch made such a sound, and the golden light came on, emitting a brilliant golden light, illuminating the room.

Lao Bao recalled the embarrassment of fidgeting in the store when he accompanied Bao Guowei to buy glasses.

But now he is standing under this beautiful palace lamp, stepping on the exquisite marble under his feet.

Moreover, this will be the new home of the Bao family from now on!

Lao Bao didn't know what to say.
