A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 469: th Birthday (Update of words, please vote for me!)
In the capital city in April, poplar catkins are flying like flying snow.

The song played in the streets and alleys is not the music of the Chinese king Jay Chou, but the music of Adu.

There are people everywhere in alleys singing "I should be under the car, not in the car" heart-rendingly. Tsk.

In the evening, at the entrance of the Sisanjiao alley east of Chaonei Street, several old men with white hair sat on horses under the locust tree, looking enviously at the gate of the old prince's palace not far away, which was decorated with lights.

The two majestic stone lions in front of the gate are also hung with red silk. These two lions are extremely famous because this pair of stone lions is said to be larger than the stone lions in front of Chengtian Gate...

"Then Second Master, have you seen it? The old lady in Master Jiu's house is going to celebrate her 100th birthday! What did you say at the beginning? If you have weak legs, you will be in trouble? Look, I Are you still lucky now?"

An old man smiled and asked another old man who was bald and missing a front tooth.

Several old people nearby laughed one after another, and one of them sighed: "Happy 100th birthday. Anyway, I don't dare to think about it in this life. I won't be so lucky."

Another old man was even more interesting and said: "Second Master, last time you scolded me for being a poor man and not worthy of living in your Manchu palace. As a result, you lost your front teeth that night. How about you stop talking about it today?" Let’s see if there will be any surprises?”

Damn it, grandma!

You call this a surprise?

The old man was so angry that his remaining teeth were about to move. However, the fall last time was really bad. He could even fall on the flat ground. He believed this, so he didn't scold the Li family anymore, but started talking about Lao Huang's history. : "Just tell me, is that the royal palace of our Manchus, right? Zheng'erba passed through the palace of Prince Yi of the Yongzheng Dynasty. Later, Prince Yi's branch was deprived of the title, and then it was transferred to Lao Jiu of the Daoguang family. It’s the Nine Prince’s Mansion that people in the old capital call it. Am I wrong? This is the most well-regulated Old Prince’s Mansion in Sijiu City. Can ordinary people afford it?”

The old man who spoke first smiled and said: "This family is about to celebrate its 100th birthday. My son told me about some of this family's situation. Tsk tsk, the bed is full of toilets. There are two in the province, and there are two at the department and division level below. I can’t count them, but if I count them all, there aren’t many that can compare to his family. Can’t they live in a royal palace?”

The old man knew that this old man's family was not ordinary, and his son worked in a ministry. He hesitated and said, "That's even more inappropriate. Whose cadre dares to live in such a courtyard?"

The old man chuckled and said, "If someone dares to live here, it means they have the confidence to live here."

While talking, I saw a row of Hongqi cars driving slowly through the alley. They did not park in the small square at the front entrance or go to the underground garage. Instead, they drove in through the fire escape at the corner door.

Looking at the special license plates on the rear of the car, the old people were speechless for a moment...

I had already guessed how wealthy this family would be, but I didn’t expect it to be so wealthy...

……

"Sister Lin, on the occasion of your 100th birthday, we sincerely wish you longevity, health and good luck. May your life be as lush as a pine, as long as a crane, safe and blessed every year."

Mr. Sui was as cheerful as ever, holding Mother Li's hand and smiling broadly.

He hasn't completely retreated yet, but his energy seems to be better.

Mother Li smiled a little uneasily and said, "I am just an old woman from the countryside, why did I alert you?"

Everyone in the room laughed, and Mr. Hong also came and said with a smile: "I just took a look, elder sister, you have raised so many elite talents for us, and you have done a good job in educating them. Generation after generation, now they are all on the path to a better future." In an important position, you are also working hard to contribute to the motherland and the people. You always take the greatest credit!"

Mr. Hong came down early for five years and stopped dyeing his hair after he was no longer in office, so his silver hair is more dazzling.

Mr. Zhai also arrived and continued with a smile: "Not to mention anything else, if you train Dr. Li alone, I will be a hero of the country."

Mother Li said modestly: "I didn't train him. He studied and worked by himself. He didn't like studying when he was a child. When he grew up, he didn't want to work in the production team to earn work points, so he started studying and found Qin Laosi's home. He took out his father's medical books and memorized them. He went to the city to find a teacher and was admitted to a technical secondary school. We are farmers and don't know anything, so we can't teach him anything."

"Eh~~"

Mr. Sui smiled and said: "These are all secondary. The most important thing is that Dr. Li has a heart of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, the simplest and purest. What you and Party Secretary Li taught him is how to behave and how to be a good person." Chinese. We all see this and admire it very much!”

Several people took turns to praise her, and Mrs. Li couldn't even praise her anymore. She could only smile uncontrollably.

Li Jiang, Li He and others had never had such close contact with the boss, and they all just grinned.

Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Mr. Sui, you guys praise me slowly, let's praise you while eating. Hey, I was worried before about how to let the old lady live a different 100th birthday. What good things have been done before? I've given it away, okay, now you have solved my big problem. This card is safe today!"

"Hahaha!"

People carry people in sedan chairs, and the bosses are not machines that can't eat fireworks from the world, and they also like to listen to nice words.

The key is who speaks.

Obviously, Li Yuan is suitable for making such jokes.

After sitting down, Mother Li didn't talk much, preferring to watch Li Yuan chatting with several big shots.

After discovering this, Mr. Sui and the others became more relaxed and casual.

Mr. Sui ate the food and praised: "Dr. Li made this dish himself, right? It's much better than the state banquet! Even if Dr. Li is not a doctor, he is still a top chef as a chef."

Li Yuanle said: "That's right, you can make a fortune silently."

After a burst of laughter, Mr. Hong asked Li Yuan: "The construction of Lan Country is progressing very quickly. Water conservancy, electricity, roads, railways... are all in full bloom. To be honest, I envy you."

Li Yuan said happily: "What are you envious of?"

Hong Laodao: "The mainland is also working on big projects. The four major projects of the Western Development Project are unprecedented. However, we borrowed debt to start construction, and we will have to pay it back in the future. Lan Guo also 'borrowed debt', from the stock market and foreign exchange market. "Borrowing" in the futures market, but you don't have to pay it back. The wealth earned by the Nasdaq war is comparable to the foreign exchange earned by the whole country's hard work. How can people not envy it?

Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "The nature of speculation is too heavy, and it happens once and never twice. What the mainland is doing now seems to be taking the slow road in a stupid way, but it is actually the smartest way."

Foreign businessmen did capture most of the profits, but the workers benefited. After the preferential period of tax reduction and exemption, the taxes collected by the government offices increased.

Furthermore, the construction of supporting infrastructure such as factories will be a benefit to the country as long as it is built on Chinese soil.

It doesn't seem like there is much benefit, but in fact it will get better and better if you work slowly and carefully.

Mr. Zhai looked at the two "young people" at the dinner table, Li Kun and Li Cheng, and asked Li Cheng: "The construction of Lan State is an absolutely rare benefit for us. With such a huge capital investment, how can we We must seize this opportunity. Qilu's industrial system is a national priority. There are 41 major industrial categories in the world. Qilu now has 28, but it will definitely not stop at 28. The demand for construction will be extremely beneficial in promoting the construction of all categories in Qilu.”

Hearing this, Li Cheng slowly smiled and said: "Because of my relationship with Eighth Uncle, some comrades have some opinions on this. They think that there is capital interference. But, I also think about it. Between being an official and doing things , do things first. Why not use it if you can? Just for my clean resume? I would rather spend five to ten years building Qilu, and I will have a clear conscience. I also want to understand, go all out to do something, and when the time comes, I will go to Lan Country. Uncle Eight has sacrificed so much for us nephews, and we have barely given anything in return. I hope that after repaying Chen and the motherland, Use the rest of your life to repay Uncle Eight for his upbringing and education."

Mr. Sui obviously didn't like hearing such words. He glanced at Qin Daxue, who was sitting on the side laughing and saying nothing, and said seriously: "This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable. Although Lan State and the mainland belong to two countries, they have the same culture and the same race. Even the citizens are immigrants from the mainland. To put it bluntly, the two countries are closer to each other than the Gulf. It is good for Lan State. If Lan State develops, it will also be good for mainland China. But fundamentally speaking, if mainland China develops and grows, it will be more beneficial for Lan State. This can be considered as repaying your eighth uncle's kindness. , Isn’t it biased?”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's more fair."

If it were not for his personal force, Lan Guo would not even be able to deal with neighboring Java, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

In the eyes of most people, Li Yuan is already sixty-five years old. How long can he remain at his peak?
Before he declines, or before he dies of old age, if the mainland can develop into a powerful country, it will definitely be beneficial to Lan Country.

Even if the issue of life and death is not considered, the development of the mainland and the huge market of more than one billion people will still be of great benefit to Lan Guo.

Not to mention anything else, the current tourism industry is booming because of tourists from several cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen that have developed earlier.

Don’t doubt that if some people get rich first, those people will become rich beyond imagination.

Not to mention, Lan Guo has not yet officially issued its own currency and is still using RMB and US dollars...

Language and currency issues are no problem at all. It is simply a vacation paradise for wealthy Chinese.

Hearing Li Yuan's approval, Mr. Sui became even more happy and said to Li Cheng and Li Kun: "So, the pattern must be opened up. Director Qin's insistence on leaving has already made us very heartbroken. But considering Director Qin's personal issues, She has paid too much for our organization. All three children left her at a young age and focused on their work. In addition, considering that Lan Guo really needs someone with experience and knowledge. Talented people will be in charge..."

Qin Daxue laughed and said: "I've passed it, Mr. Sui, at most he has some work experience."

Mr. Sui smiled and said: "You don't have to be modest and dare not say that it is unprecedented, but it is unlikely that there will be another Comrade Qin Xue who is resolute and decisive in China for at least fifty years. If you don't leave, you will be in charge of the disciplinary work across the country. , who else would you want to be? Look, after you went to Lan State, the originally chaotic Caotai team quickly became more formalized. Overall, the system is more rigorous and is in line with the actual situation of Lan State. of."

Seeing Mr. Sui looking at him, Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, give her a merit and make her a virtuous concubine."

Qin Daxue said angrily: "In short, he is the kind who is not favored."

Everyone in the room laughed loudly, Lou Xiao'e said: "Come on, you have been a top star all your life, and you are still not satisfied!"

Li Yuan reminded the two old women: "Is this the occasion to say these words?"

Qin Daxue didn't care: "We've almost retired, and it's time to eat the fireworks of the world. Besides, I'm not embarrassed, so what are you afraid of?"

Li Yuan sighed: "I am also a victim of the times."

"Hahaha!"

Now everyone really laughed.

Mr. Sui asked Li Yuan, "Doctor Li, how long do you think America will stay in the Middle East?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "America is now invincible in the world and is attacking Afghanistan in order to occupy this important strategic location. Unless America begins to decline, it will not withdraw easily. Not only will it not withdraw, but it will taste the sweetness. The Ansa people also started a second war. "

Mr. Hong frowned and said, "Iraq?"

Accusing Iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction is not something that happens in a day or two. It has been laid for a long time.

Although Saddam publicly denied it and the United Nations sent a team of experts to investigate, the investigation showed that Saddam did not have those things.

However, America refused to admit it and directly bypassed the United Nations and attacked Iraq.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Mr. Hong said solemnly: "Iraq is different from Afghanistan. Afghanistan does not have much oil, but Iraq is a major oil-producing country. The last war between Iran and Iraq lasted for eight years, and the global oil crisis greatly affected the world economy. Now there is another war. The sharp rise in oil prices has had a great impact on us.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's useless. The more this happens, the more America will launch a war and then make huge profits. However, the oil problem should not be too big. Although the oil reserves of Lan are not as good as those of Iraq, they are There is no problem with emergency response in a short period of time. Moreover, it is much closer, not to mention natural gas. LNG ships are shipped directly to the South China Sea and directly to the mainland. Coal, iron ore, grain, and palm oil are not a problem. ”

In the next two decades, Java will always be China's largest supplier of imported coal, and more than 90% of the mining volume comes from Kalimantan, which is now Tang Island.

They are all open-pit coal mines. With the continuous development of large-scale infrastructure, mining costs have become increasingly lower, causing Tangdao's coal exports to continue to skyrocket.

Coal is the fundamental energy source related to the electric power, steel industry and other industries.

Right now, China's coal industry is experiencing its golden decade, and it has become an absolutely hugely profitable industry.

Mr. Zhai said with emotion: "From this aspect alone, Dr. Li, you can be said to have made great contributions to the Chinese nation for generations to come!"

Li Yuan raised his glass: "Thank you, I think so too."

Li Xing smiled brightly at the table next to him. Hong Kong Island itself had few resources to speak of. Even fresh water and river sand for building houses depended on the mainland.

But now, he has begun to experience the joy of a resource-rich country.

Just by selling oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, and virgin wood pulp to the mainland, he can cover a large part of Lan Guo's construction fund, greatly reducing his pressure.

It was difficult for him to understand why Java had left such a treasure land undeveloped before.
It may be that the resources on Java and Sumatra are already very abundant and they cannot afford to make the mistake.

Or maybe they don’t have tens of millions of hard-working and disciplined workers and farmers who are willing to immerse themselves in hard work, and they are motivated but powerless.

In any case, the Li family can take advantage of this island...

……

Mr. Sui and others did not stay for long, only about two hours before they left.

After they left, the atmosphere relaxed.

For a family of civil servants, facing a big boss of this level, it would be an exaggeration to say that they only dare to take half a breath, but they are cautious in everything.

After a few old men left, he was only half alive again. Because of what happened before, the younger generation had a lot more respect for Li Yuan.

The elders of Li Jiang's generation stood one by one to toast Mother Li's birthday. The old lady drank peach juice very happily.

In Li Kun's generation, every family knelt down and kowtowed to their ancestors to celebrate their birthdays, and the atmosphere of a 100th birthday suddenly arose.

When it comes to Li Feng's generation, it is really a great ceremony to pray three times and nine times, wishing the ancestors long live.

Don't doubt it, they really think so.

The reason is very simple. When the old lady is here, everyone is a family and close relatives.

The old lady is gone, but the older generation is still considered a relative. By their generation, the Eighth Grandpa cannot even recognize her, and can only be regarded as a relative.

They haven't had a good time yet, but they can't bear to end it so soon, so the congratulatory message contains a lot of words about loving each other and being a family forever...

The heartfelt blessings from such a prosperous family made Mother Li particularly happy today.

However, she did not repeat the words "we will always be a family" as some people wanted.

For her, it seems that Yao'er's lightness is more important than the longevity of the family.

……

"Dad, why don't you agree with our Shan State plan?"

In the courtyard of Wangfu West Road, Xiao Jiu looked like a college student, with a simple ponytail, a pair of black-framed flat glasses, a plaid shirt, and no accessories, but what he said was anything but simple.

She and Li Yuan could not appear in Lan Country at the same time, but there was still no problem in the mainland.

Before Li Yuan could answer, Xiaoba, who was happily eating durian, rarely cared about family matters: "What is the Shan State Plan?"

He was startled when everyone looked at him, and his wife Amei helped explain: "Zhenbang is planning to go to Yangon to sketch."

Fugui grinned and said: "Conquer Burma! Xiaoba, it's up to you to take the lead this time!"

The durian in Xiaoba's mouth was frightened.

Xiaoqi felt sorry for her younger brother and blamed Fugui: "Third brother~"

Fugui just laughed.

Xiao Jiu became more serious, looked at Li Yuan and said: "Dad, America bypasses the United Nations and attacks Iraq. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. It is unlikely to happen again. We have also been operating in Shan State for fifteen years. , with strong troops and strong horses, it is time to attack Yangon. Dad, the significance of taking Burma is no less than that of Tang Dao, and it is even more significant."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I know. But Old David doesn't think this is a good idea."

"?"

Xiaojiu was puzzled.

Li Yuan said helplessly: "If we capture Myanmar, it means that China has an outlet in the southwest and can directly enter and leave the Indian Ocean. What is the concept? The first island chain created by America will be directly destroyed. This kind of action, It will directly attract America's attention in the Middle East back to the Asia-Pacific and intercept us in all directions. There are tens of millions of people in Myanmar, and they will definitely start a war. Tang Island is just one of the first island chains. An isolated island is two different things from Myanmar.”

Lou Xiao'e was surprised and said: "Jiu'er, your ambition is getting bigger and bigger."

Lou Xiu was more direct and criticized: "I'll hit you on the head! Find me a partner quickly!"

This kind of thing can only be said by the eldest mother who raised her with her own hands in the world.

Of course Li Yuan can do it, but he doesn't know how.

The family members laughed. Xiaojiu looked helpless. After hugging Lou Xiu, he said to Li Yuan: "Quick victory, and he has been lurking for more than ten years. The veteran has long learned Burmese, so it is difficult to tell that he is Chinese."

Qin Daxue said leisurely: "It is a country with a population of tens of millions. Even if you attack it by force, it will be difficult to govern. It is impossible to immigrate tens of millions like Lan Guo. America will never do it. Allowed. That would ruin this great situation."

Zhiguo looked at his sister and said with a smile: "Want to destroy the six kingdoms and become the First Emperor of Lan?"

Xiaojiu looked at the way of governing the country with an expressionless face: "Chinese people, especially Chinese farmers, are the most hardworking people in the world, right? Officials, businessmen, and workers who praise the Chinese people's ability to endure hardships and stand hard work, All inhumane.”

Zhiguo's face suddenly turned red, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to explain it. Li Yuan clicked his tongue softly and said to Xiao Jiu: "Don't carry such a heavy thing on your body, Jiu'er, don't be anxious."

He knew that his daughter was not only responsible for the rise and fall of one corner of the Lan Kingdom, but also for the rejuvenation of the entire nation.

Such a vision is more grand and upright than the Jinluan Way of governing the country.

Qin Daxue now understands a lot more. She looks at Xiaojiu with a bright face and says proudly: "As expected of her, she is my girl."

Only Lou Xiu was unhappy and criticized: "How can I talk to my brother?"

Xiao Jiu smiled and explained: "I'm not saying anything bad about my brother. He has been running for farmers and done many practical things. It's just a perception."

Lou Xiao'e reminded: "Now that I have a sister-in-law, please be careful."

Xiao Jiu glanced at Zeng Li, smiled and nodded.

She didn't say it was just appearances. As far as she knew, Zeng Li took good care of the life of governing the country, and he kept his duties and did not interfere in official affairs.

This is very, very important.

that's enough.

Zeng Li looked at Xiao Jiu and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you are a close relative so you are welcome."

Zhiguo rubbed his face, looked at Xiaojiu and said sincerely: "The population base is too large, there is nothing we can do. The country is too big, and it is not safe."

Li Yuan comforted the precious girl and said, "Believe me, dad, don't be anxious."

That’s not to say that Jiuer’s path is unworkable, but the variables are too great.

He tested David Rockefeller on this matter, and the Rockefeller family's attitude largely represented America's views on this matter.

Old David's answer is obvious, Noway, it's impossible.

From a global strategic perspective, Tang Dao is not even worthy of carrying shoes to Myanmar.

It is absolutely impossible for America to sit back and watch Myanmar be controlled by the mainland or Lanzhou. That is absolutely not allowed.

Very candid answer.

After Xiaojiu was silent for a while, he said softly: "Okay. In fact, for Lan Guo, it is more beneficial for the mainland to maintain the status quo. If the Shan State Plan is really implemented, from a strategic position, Tang Island's role on the mainland will be It will plummet. However, if we can win Myanmar... it will be very advantageous, and Myanmar has always been ruled by a military government, so the opportunity is really rare.”

Li Yuan looked at his precious daughter and said warmly: "I'm not asking you to give up. Although we don't interfere, we can still secretly support Shan State to continue to grow in strength and wait for the right time. You are busy with state affairs now and it is not convenient for you to come forward. I will make more trips. . Jiu'er, let's be patient and strategic. Time is on our side, isn't it?"

Xiaojiu was finally persuaded, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, looking at her father and tilting his face.

"Hey~~"

Several brothers started cheering together.

Now you know who the old man loves the most, right?

Who can instruct Li Yuan to run around now?
Even Li Xing wouldn't dare. Even if he dared to say it, he would probably get a big buck.

It’s only Xiaojiu.

The sisters-in-law also looked at this sister-in-law with a smile. They all knew who the family should not offend the most...

……

"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth, I only love you, YOU ARE MY SUPER STAR!"

The street song played from the loudspeakers in the streets and alleys became this song "Super Star" by S·H·E. The catchy lyrics and melody made this song sweep across the entire Chinese-speaking world.

After a birthday feast, everyone in the Li family dispersed.

Lou Xiao'e and others returned to Hong Kong Island, and then prepared to go to Lan Country. It was so fun there.

Xiaojiu and others returned directly to Lan Country. The vigorous construction did not stop for a moment, and their work in all aspects could not stop.

Fugui prepares for national defense-related work, so that in addition to facing his family, he still has a bit of the simple and honest look of his childhood. At other times, he has the general demeanor of Yue Zhi Yuanting.

Li Si and Atlanna have been engaged in external affairs. Except for the mainland, almost all of Lan's largest trading partners are Commonwealth countries.

The second daughter-in-law Atlanna played an important role in this. The afterglow of the Red Rose Dynasty of Lancaster allowed her to bless Lan Guo.

Jixiang and Ruyi are also very busy. After the Internet bubble, the Internet economy took off rapidly again and soared into the sky.

Datang's computers, software, and semiconductors are also experiencing rapid growth and facing fierce competition. Especially when America is involved in numerous lawsuits, it is still moving forward.

The mainland market gave Datang the greatest confidence.

Those difficulties gave the twin brothers of the Li family of Tang Dynasty the best training.

The naughty child who was once chased and beaten by Lou Xiu with a feather duster has now become a godfather-level presence in the global Internet industry.

Needless to mention Xiaoba, Amei takes care of life, and Zhang Manyu is responsible for art life. A painting is worth millions or even tens of millions, and life is as happy as a god...

Xiaoqi will also marry Zhao Lin this year...

And Li Yuan actually has to embark on a "journey"...

This year is an opportunity for the two granddaughters, Li Yunchu, 18, and Li Shuyi, 14, to go out and experience.

Li Yunchu was written by He Pingshi, and Li Shuyi was written by Zhou Huimin.

To be honest, there are not many opportunities to interact with my grandfather.

Still riding in the huge RV, after bidding farewell to Mother Li, we set off from Qinjiazhuang. There was already a height limit in Sijiu City and no one was allowed to enter.

After leaving the capital, I spent the first night in the suburbs.

There are mountains in the distance, and the faint sound of dogs barking can be heard in the mountain village.

Li Yuan took a chair and put it next to the car, and directed his two granddaughters to collect firewood and light a bonfire.

"Grandpa, my father and aunt used to walk."

Li Yunchu has a mother-like personality, and was born in Hong Kong Island...can't be called a wealthy family, Hong Kong royal family, and her mother-in-law is a wealthy gambling king, so whether it is material or spiritual, it is not an exaggeration to call her a princess.

Relatively speaking, Li Shuyi is also like a mother, and is much quieter.

But both of them have grown into tall and graceful girls, which is why Li Yuan chose to travel in an RV.

You can't camp out at night and let your two granddaughters poop naked in the wild, right?
The bonfire was lit, Li Shuyi took out some meat skewers and vegetables from the car refrigerator, and Li Yunchu set up the oven. These tasks are all basic skills for the Li family's children.

Hearing his granddaughter's question, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Times have changed. Besides, is it not easy for you to endure hardship? I will drive away from tomorrow and you will walk below."

Li Yunchu: "..."

Li Shuyi: "..."

Li Shuyi couldn't help but laugh. This was indeed something that her grandfather's character could do.

Thinking about what their eldest brother Li Rui has experienced over the years, they are pretty good.

But to be honest, they like to be treated like this.

They were not masochists, because as they grew older, they had already seen that the reason why their grandfather "tortured" Li Rui in this way was because he valued him.
Just look at the envious looks in the eyes of second brother Li Zhi and others every time his grandfather makes fun of Li Rui...

Li Yunchu was naturally an understanding person, and she said bravely: "Okay, no problem!" After a pause, she then said: "Grandpa, why doesn't Sister Annuo do this kind of hiking?"

Li Yuan glanced at his second granddaughter with a half-smile but said, "Want to be the crown prince too?"

Such straightforwardness caught Li Yunchu off guard. After panicking for a while, she nodded frankly and said, "Of course. Grandpa, that's the Queen Princess!"

An Nuo, apart from being the granddaughter of the Li family, nothing can compare with her.

Even an illegitimate daughter...

Of course, these thoughts can only be criticized in the heart. On the surface, if she dares to look for trouble like this, her own mother He Pingshi will beat her to death.

Of course, Li Yuan could understand. If it were him, he would be dissatisfied. He smiled warmly and said, "It's no big deal if you want to be. This is fate. Unless you have the ability to change your fate against the will of heaven and let yourself be born before Annuo, otherwise, just Give up on this idea."

Li Shuyi almost laughed like a pig, yes, her grandfather really knows how to comfort people.

Li Yunchu also laughed, feeling that his ears were starting to smoke, but he still begged: "Grandpa, can't one person be the leader for three years? With this title, the identity is very different."

Li Yuan said with disgust: "Look at your superficial thoughts!"

Li Shuyi couldn't stop giggling, and even helped her grandpa turn over the eggplant slices on the oven.

Li Yunchu rolled his eyes at her and said, "We've agreed, you will also become a princess in the future."

Li Shuyi said a little more solemnly: "Second sister, the princess of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty is already very important." The topic changed and she looked at Li Yuan again and said: "Of course, it would be better if grandpa can let us take turns being the crown prince. whee!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan felt relieved. It would be better if she wasn't a tea girl, just not a tea girl. He waved his hand and said: "You've all given up on this idea." He also scolded the two granddaughters of Guapi: "Look at your father, what did you do in Yunchu back then?" Dad once suggested that the nine brothers and sisters of the CEO of Datang should take turns to do the job. You can't say that he is the boss and takes advantage. What happened? Your second uncle was forced to go to America because the second brother didn't want to compete with his brother. The same goes for the following brothers, who all stayed away. The president of Datang was not a false prince, but the brothers and sisters had never fought over that thing. Do you understand? Look at you, there are only a few girls in the house, and you are so embarrassed!"

Li Yunchu jumped to his feet and shouted: "I didn't!! We just thought, it's just empty anyway, so we want to get a name and go out to show off! Grandpa, we and Sister Annuo are very good!"

Li Shuyi also nodded repeatedly and said: "Brother, they are very annoying. Sister Annuo protects us."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That's good. Your sister Annuo not only protects you. When your eighth uncle was pursued by girls at school and made things difficult for you, you always ran to the elementary school to find Annuo to stand up for him. Showing off his power behind Annuo."

"puff!"

"what?"

Both granddaughters were shocked. Li Yunchu said: "Really, Grandpa?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "In the previous generation, your father took care of eight brothers and sisters very well. In your generation, your eldest sister took care of you when you were young. So when she became the crown prince, even Li Rui and Li Zhi and the others are just heartbroken, but not dissatisfied. But if you come, it will be a lot of fun. I don't know what other people's families are like, but in the Li family, no gains are for no reason, let alone who is born early. You can get everything.”

Li Yunchu said happily: "Oh, grandpa, you don't have to be so serious. We just want to have a good time, and we don't really want to be a crown prince. Grandpa, but you treat Li Rui differently. Isn't it because he is the boss?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You underestimate Li Rui. There are a few idiots in mainland China who have been imprisoned. Do you know?"

Li Yunchu stopped smiling and nodded, "Uncle Li Ba."

Li Shuyi said: "There are also Uncle Li Lei, Uncle Li Yin, Uncle Li Qi..."

Li Yuandao: "They all deserve their punishment. They didn't have to go to jail. They gave the Li family this face. However, I still asked you, Uncle Kun, to tell the organization and deal with it strictly. Not only that, the family foundation also removed them all, including their wives." ,child."

Li Yunchu whispered: "My mommy said that grandpa is trying to scare the monkeys."

Li Shuyi also said: "Grandpa used thunderbolt methods, but he had the heart of a Bodhisattva."

Li Yuandao: "No matter what, I just played a nasty trick anyway. The effect was good, but Li Ba and his wife and children suffered. The wives basically got divorced, and the children naturally fell into the bottom of the valley. This kind of For them, life experiences can only be described in two words: "sour and joy".

Li Yunchu and Li Shuyi, who were already feeling a little heavy, were both amused by these two words.

Li Yunchu whispered: "Grandpa, we went to the mainland every summer to experience life. Uncle Li Ba and his friends were very good to us."

Li Yuan smiled noncommittally and said, "Li Rui didn't tell us that he brought Li Zhi, Li Ying, and Li Ming here, and called Li Feng and Li Rui to visit Li Ba's children one by one. Some taught them lessons, some scolded them, and some helped fight to vent their anger. Different situations gave different treatment, but in the end, without exception, those unlucky children no longer fell into trouble, but picked up their textbooks again and began to study hard. ”

"Wow~"

Sisters Li Yunchu and Li Shuyi exclaimed, "We don't know anything about it."

Li Yuan handed the two bunches of potatoes he had finished the exam to his two granddaughters. He picked up the lamb chops and ate them deliciously. He did not forget to say: "If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight. With the word "bear", most people will only be passive. But those who are capable will take the initiative to shoulder the problem to sharpen their shoulders and mind. Of course, I am not saying that Li Rui is more powerful than your father. It’s a lifetime’s failure. Tsk, tsk, it’s so useless.”

Li Yunchu put the sign aside and covered his face with his hands.

The same is true for Li Shuyi.

Oh my god, how did Brother Li Rui get here all these years?
……

Li Yuan took his two granddaughters from east to west, from the capital to the border of Western Xinjiang. He drove and the two granddaughters walked all the way, allowing them to truly experience the majesty of the motherland and the love of their grandfather.

On the way back to Chang'an from Western Xinjiang, the two granddaughters have almost turned into African girls. Who wants to go to the Gobi Desert and try it out?

When they arrived in Chang'an, they bid farewell to their kind grandfather and got on the plane back to Hong Kong Island. They both broke down in tears on the plane...

Li Yuan felt a little regretful and was not interested.

However, it is understandable that if everyone in this generation is enthusiastic, then the Li family would go too far...

At present, the four brothers Li Rui, Li Zhi, Li Ying, and Li Mingge are enthusiastic, and Annuo is the first to be enthusiastic. These five, as long as they don't fight among themselves, can basically carry the banner of this generation.

After seeing off his two granddaughters, Li Yuan parked the RV at Chang'an Datang Restaurant and traveled quietly alone.

We still have to do what Xiaojiu told us.

But it's nothing more than sending some silver paper, some medicinal materials, and... some lethality, such as getting rid of some enemies and purging some of your own people.

Shan State's chess pieces will not move for twenty years, and we will talk about them twenty years later.

Let's see what happens to those little brats in America when Wanwan returns to the vast land of China...

……

When I returned to the capital from Shan State, the songs on the streets changed again.

The first snowfall of 2002 made the entire Forty-Nine City sing.

And what is floating on this day is already the snow of 2004...

After Li Yuan returned to the capital, the first call he received was from Li Xing.

Li Xing told him in a serious tone that Qin Sanzhu had passed away.

Another person also died on the same day, Li Jiacheng's wife, Zhuang Yueming...

Li Yuan hesitated and flew back to Hong Kong Island...

They are old friends after all.
