February 16, 1931 was the Spring Festival of that year.

According to the custom, Qin Zhaoji, who is over eighty years old, gathers all his children and grandchildren to hold a family banquet.

The eldest Qin Hanliang's three sons and three daughters are all married and have children.

The whole family gathered together, almost forty people, and a total of five tables were set up for a banquet.

In addition to the old man Qin Zhaoji, the main table is Qin Hanliang, Qin Hancheng, Qin Hanxu of the second generation, as well as Qin Di of the third generation and three cousins.

It stands to reason that Zhu Wan can also go to the main table, but she is a woman who seems very abrupt, and she is unwilling to drink, so she sits at another table with Qin Yue, Yan Xue, Huizi and others.

Qin Zhaoji looked at the whole family, and said with a lot of emotion in his heart: "I think that at the beginning, I left my hometown in Ningbo at the age of 23 and came to the magic capital. Later, I made a desperate bet and borrowed 3,000 oceans from my family to co-operate a yarn factory. After seven or eight years in the business and accumulating a sum of money, just in time for my partner to quit, I took down the yarn factory and finally had my own business.

I didn't expect that after many years, I would be able to have such a big family.

And you are also competitive, since I retired twenty years ago, my family's business has become bigger and bigger, and the Qin family's reputation in the magic capital has become more and more famous, I feel very satisfied when I think about it, even if I die, I have no regrets. ”

Qin Hanliang hurriedly said: "Dad, on a happy day, how can you say such a thing!"

Qin Zhaoji said: "I am eighty-eight years old, how many years can I live? Remember, after I die, bury me back to Ningbo, where there is the ancestral tomb of the Qin family, located on the edge of the Seven Pagoda Temple." ”

Qin Hanliang hurriedly said: "Dad, I already knew! Uncle's spirit card is still in the Seven Pagoda Temple!"

He was the eldest son in the family, inherited most of the shares of "Mingzhou Home Textiles", and as the years passed, he was also in his sixties, and gradually handed over the factory to his son.

After graduating from middle school, Qin Mu, the eldest grandson of the Qin family, worked in the Quartermaster Department with his third uncle Qin Hanxu for several years, knew some people, broadened his horizons, increased his knowledge, and came back to work with his father.

The second Qin Jian, with the funding of Qin Hanliang, opened a flour mill. He has an innate advantage in opening a flour mill, because his second uncle Qin Han is in charge of the "Qin's Grain Bank", which continuously imports grain from abroad, and the price is low, and the flour mill is very profitable. Qin Hancheng felt that Qin Jian was his nephew, and he was too lazy to compete with him, which gave him a lot of benefits.

The third Qin Bo is two years older than Qin Di and is the only one who has gone to college. He graduated from the "Modu Commercial University" and was appreciated by his grandfather Qin Zhaoji, and became a director of the "Siming Bank" on behalf of the Qin family.

Siming Bank was founded in 1908 by Ningbo businessmen Yuan Lianqing, Zhu Peizhen, Fang Shunnian, Yu Qiaqing, etc., with a capital of only 500,000 taels of silver at the beginning of its establishment, but then more than 20 years of capital expansion rapidly, and "Commerce Bank", "Industrial Bank", "Domestic Bank" and called "Four Small Banks of the Republic of China".

The Qin family deposited half of the funds of "Mingzhou Home Textiles" in Siming Bank, and for the sake of insurance, they simply invested another sum of money to take 7% of the shares of Siming Bank and let Qin Bo become a director.

Overall, Qin Di's three cousins are quite capable, so the old man Qin Zhaoji is very satisfied.

But not for the next generation.

Qin Mu had a wife and a concubine, and gave birth to four sons. The eldest son, Qin Yuansi, was twenty years old and had a barely good character; the second son, Qin Yuankong, was eighteen years old, and he neither wanted to study nor work, so he spent his days fooling around; the third son, Qin Yuanjian, was thirteen years old; and the fourth son, Qin Yuanguan, was only nine years old. Combined, these four brothers have a homonym of "commonplace". These names were all taken by Qin Mu.

And the names of Qin Mu, Qin Jian, Qin Bo and Qin Di were taken by the old man. It can be seen that the Qin family is not as good as the next generation, and even the name has become tacky.

Qin Jian did not restrain himself, married a wife and three concubines, and gave birth to five sons. The eldest son, Qin Yuanlong, started to pick up girls when he was only sixteen years old, and often went in and out of major dance halls. The second son, Qin Yuanhu, is thirteen years old, and he is also unsuccessful.

Qin Bo only has one wife, and his son is only seven years old, so he can't see good or bad for the time being.

Because they all live outside and rarely go back to the Qin family's old house, the old man Qin Zhaoji doesn't know what kind of people his children and grandchildren are, and he thinks that all of them are very good.

As the saying goes, there are no more than three generations of wealth, and once people are arrogant and lascivious, they lack self-motivation, and they can easily become degenerate.

Qin Mu is a businessman, busy managing a huge factory every day, and has no heart to supervise his son's daily life; Qin Jian is a bit greedy, with many wives and concubines, and compares with each other, so it is not easy to educate the next generation; Qin Bo has gone to college anyway, and his wife is also educated, so he strengthens the discipline of his children, and may be able to make a difference in the future.

Compared with the eldest Qin Hanliang, who has many children and grandchildren, the second Qin Hancheng is a little pitiful, only Qin Di has one son, and he is not married until now!

So whenever the Qin family held a family banquet, the room was bustling, and the eldest aunt Hu Ying seemed very happy.

She smiled smugly, her eyebrows fluttering, and looked at Zhu Wan and Keiko.

Although Zhu Wan is a great scientist, what about a great scientist? He doesn't even have a grandson!

Zhu Wan didn't care, as the president of the "Ci'an Higher Medical College" and the "honorary president" of the National Research Institute, how could she have the heart to compete with a housewife? Besides, she believed in Catholicism and had already handed over the future of her children and grandchildren to the Lord, everything was destined by God, and there was nothing to worry about!

Keiko lowered her head and picked up the vegetables, not saying a word.

Her daughter Qin Zhan is eighteen years old, and she is not bad-looking, with a different kind of gentleness.

Qin Zhan knew about his mother's heart disease, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Qin Di sat at the main table, turned his head to look around, and saw everyone's expressions in his eyes.

When he saw Qin Zhan, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart: "My sister has also grown up, I want to spend some time helping her." ”

Qin Zhan, this kid is very peculiar, and he doesn't know whose talent he inherited, so he actually went to the Department of Mathematics of Jiaotong University!

A girl who actually majored in mathematics was unconventional in this era.

Qin Di was not a mathematician, so he could not give guidance professionally. Qin Zhan is the only daughter in the family, and she is also not short of money. Qin Hanxu hired bodyguards and followed his daughter, and there was no problem with safety. So if Qin Di wants to help her, she has to find a suitable opportunity.

Qin Di looked at the nephews at the other table, and there were a few of them, clearly with a squirrel.

Qin Di didn't take this to heart. He was a reincarnated immortal, and except for his parents, sisters, and a few elders, everyone else was like an ant in front of him.

Of course, if these young people took the initiative to curry favor, Qin Di would not turn them away.

But these little guys are fledgling and unwinded, and obviously don't care much about him as an "uncle".

In fact, this is also related to Qin Di's low-key, he is not visible on weekdays, young people don't know how powerful he is, how can they respect him?
