Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 967: Fight When It's Time
After returning from the forest farm, Chu Xiangqian took Jingrong, Jingxing, Margaret, and Alyssa to visit all the most famous attractions in the capital in the next few days.

From the very beginning, the two little ones wanted to go out and play as soon as they got up early in the morning, and gradually they lost interest in attractions like ancient buildings.

As for children, if you explain to them how amazing the architecture of the Forbidden City is and how the antiques have historical and research value, they will definitely lose interest after hearing it too much.

Margaret and Alyssa were in a good mood these days.

But for Alyssa and Margaret, the winter in the capital is not only cold, but also very windy.

When the wind is strong, it is easy to dry people's faces, and Chu Xiangqian doesn't need to remind them.

Margaret herself noticed that her skin was not as good as before, and then she listened to what Jin Xiu, a half-baked Chinese medicine practitioner, had to say about the reason.

I immediately didn’t want to go out in the cold wind anymore.

She doesn't go out, and Alyssa also has to stay at home to take care of the children.

Chu Xiangqian then found an opportunity and used the excuse of delivering New Year's goods to the Xue family and other friends to get a day.

I went to Xue's house first, and then went to Maoer Hutong at around 11 o'clock in the morning to meet Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e.

Because of my love for the country and the people, I went to the courtyard in Shichahai a few days ago and had dinner with Chu Xiangqian's family.

Therefore, the neighbors in the Luoguxiang courtyard also knew that Chu Xiangqian and his family were returning to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e waited for four or five days, and it was almost the New Year.

Just then I saw Dahei appear outside the second-hand goods purchasing station.

The two women suppressed their excitement and said to the people at the purchasing station with a smile that they had a way to get some chestnuts and dried fish.

If you're lucky, you might even get some jerky.

But these things, although they don’t require tickets, are not cheap.

When the six colleagues heard this, they didn’t care about the price at all.

Meat tickets themselves can be sold for money. Since people don’t want the tickets, the price is naturally higher than normal.

Besides, it’s the end of the year now. If we can get some dried meat and dried fish, the whole family can have a good year.

As for cash, these days as long as there is a formal employee in the family, they can actually save some money.

In the TV series, the third uncle Yan Laokou, with a salary of 27.5, not only supported his four children and wife, but also had enough money to buy a bicycle.

It can be seen that Mr. Yan is very stingy and good at calculating, but it also shows that ordinary people basically have some spare money.

Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e now had a legitimate excuse and didn't want to stay at the purchasing station for a moment.

Just push the bike and go.

Following Dahei, we soon arrived at the courtyard in Maoer Hutong.

The titmouse followed the two women and watched them to make sure no one was following them.

Seeing the clothesline leaning against the inner wall of the yard, I knew Chu Xiangqian had really come.

Both women were breathing much heavier.

I hurriedly pushed my bike into the yard and smelled the faint aroma of cooking meat coming from the kitchen.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so Chu Xiangqian doesn't have so many concerns. He stews large chunks of beef tendon on a wood stove over a low fire.

However, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e hadn't seen him for two months, so they had no time to eat meat.

They all walked into the hall and were a little disappointed not to see Chu Xiangqian.

When I entered the bedroom and saw this guy sleeping on the fire pit, I felt relieved.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care whether Chu Xiangqian was really asleep or not. She walked to the bed in three or two steps, lifted the quilt and threw herself into Chu Xiangqian's arms.

Qin Huairu still blamed Xiao'e in her heart for not knowing how to cherish her own man.

But Chu Xiangqian was actually just focusing on the tit's sight to make sure no one was following him.

By the way, I closed my eyes and thought about whether I would take my family back to Hong Kong Island after the New Year?
I'd better stay in Beijing until May and see whether to stay or not.

Although Java had not sent anyone to Hong Kong Island to take revenge on him in the past two months, Chu Xiangqian had to suspect that it was not that they did not want to take revenge, but that they could not find the opportunity.

Or maybe he knows that he is difficult to deal with and wants to take revenge on his family.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiangqian had been prepared and his entire family returned to the capital.
-
Since Lou Xiao'e couldn't help wanting to sing, Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't let her down.

Soon, a chorus of voices could be heard in the room.

It took more than an hour for Chu Xiangqian to finally clear and extinguish the pent-up anger in the two women's hearts.

The three of us chatted sweetly about family matters for a while before getting up to wash up.

At noon, the cooked beef, dipped in soy sauce, is eaten with relish.

Together with the coconuts that Chu Xiangqian had taken out in advance, the two women each ate a plate of cooked beef and drank two coconuts before they put down their chopsticks in satisfaction.

Staying beside Chu Xiangqian, she continued chattering about what had happened around them in the past two months.

Qin Huairu didn't have much to do, except that he beat Bang Geng again, his life was relatively peaceful.

It has been three or four months since Lou's father and mother went to Hong Kong Island. Last month, the aunt and uncle who stayed with the Lou family also packed up their things.

According to Lou's father's wishes, the shares of Lou's steel rolling mill were given to the higher-ups free of charge.

Not only did the Lou family receive extremely high praise, but it also became very smooth for the Lou family branch to go to Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, the fur business of Lou Xiao'e's two half-brothers, as well as Lou's father and mother, also got on track after more than two months of operation.

With Chu Xiangqian secretly taking care of it, it would be hard for this business to fail.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian has no shortage of furs, and in fact he is the one who makes the most money.

But Chu Xiangqian really doesn't care about this little money now. All the income from furs is kept in an account in Hang Seng Bank.

I plan to give it to Lou Xiao'e in the future, so that this silly girl won't feel that I am biased.

Lou Xiao'e owned 25% of the shares of Loujia Fur Company, but she was unwilling to leave the capital, so she gave them to her mother to hold on her behalf.

When the three members of the Lou family, including the father and his sons, and Lou's mother signed the contract, it was the famous lawyer Huang Weixin who asked his apprentice to handle it personally.

Lou's mother only held the shares on behalf of her. Not only were the real shares in Lou Xiao'e's name, but even the dividends from the fur company were actually in Lou Xiao'e's account.

At first, Mr. and Mrs. Lou could never have imagined that the man who had been entangled with their woman for several years was Chu Xiangqian.

But this guy Huang Weixin is a bit too enthusiastic.

When the agreement on dividing the shares of the Lou family was signed, he also showed up to meet Lou Xiao'e's two brothers.

But Huang Weixin's real purpose was to show up in front of Lou's father and mother and leave a good impression.

It's no secret that our boss is lustful.

But Chu Xiangqian just doesn't like socializing, and the wives in his family are basically from the mainland.

Suddenly an old man and an old woman appeared. Huang Weixin was not stupid, even if they were not the boss's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

At least they were good friends. And Lou's father was a big businessman who built a steel plant in the old society.

Although he was in charge of everything in the capital, he had no chance to show his abilities.

Huang Weixin was so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but feel suspicious and resentful.

After a few months in Hong Kong Island, Chu Xiangqian became so famous, and the incident in Java was reported in major newspapers.

After a little inquiry, I learned that Chu Xiangqian was from the mainland and it only took him five or six years to make his fortune.

Father Lou realized that the man his woman was following was most likely Chu Xiangqian.

Then she asked her younger sister, who was still in Beijing at the time and lived very close to Lou Xiao'e, to go to the courtyard in Luoguxiang to look for Lou Xiao'e under the pretext of going there. It was easy for her to find out that the family with the largest population in the courtyard was the Chu family.

After the eldest son of the Chu family got married, he moved out of the courtyard house and often went on business trips, not coming back for two or three months.

Although she didn't know why her eldest brother was asking about Chu Xiangqian, when Lou Xiao'e's aunt heard that Chu Xiangqian was married and had children, she just thought that her eldest brother wanted to ask Chu Xiangqian for a favor.

After telling Lou's father, he knew that it must be correct.

However, apart from talking to Lou's mother, he didn't even mention a word to his two sons.

By the time Aunt Lou Xiao'e came to Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Island's reports on Java were already out of date.

When Lou's mother found out, she was surprised at first, and then she became very excited.

If Xiao'e's father guessed correctly, then she is the mother-in-law of a billionaire.

Even if you are not married, being a mistress is countless times better than marrying an ordinary person.

Lou's mother was a person who came from the old society, and she herself was the second wife of the Lou family, so she was very receptive to this aspect.

Not to mention, one can take a concubine in Hong Kong. If it weren't for Lou's father's repeated instructions and even warnings, she would have wanted to send a telegram back to the capital.

He insisted that Lou Xiao'e come to Hong Kong Island and get a certificate with Chu Xiangqian, and he didn't care whether his daughter returned to Beijing or stayed in Hong Kong Island.

Lou Xiao'e's parents and relatives have all passed away recently, and Chu Xiangqian has not returned for two months.

While feeling lonely in my heart, I naturally became closer to Qin Huairu.

After get off work, I didn't go back to the courtyard on Shatan Street, but went to live in the house in the backyard of the courtyard in Luoguxiang.

He is usually close to the Qin family, and like Qin Huairu, he tries every means to get closer to his second aunt, Jingru, and Yushui.

Fortunately, Jingru is Qin Huairu's cousin. With this relationship, no one will doubt their purpose.

Moreover, the neighbors in the courtyard had received so many benefits from Chu Xiangqian, so they also tried to curry favor with the second and third branches of the family.

After the three of them took a nap at noon, they had to play another game.

It was not until it had darkened that Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e packed up, pushed their bicycles, and returned to the purchasing station with two bamboo baskets of chestnuts, dried fish, and dried meat.

When the six colleagues saw the bamboo baskets of chestnuts and the bamboo baskets of dried meat and dried fish, the smiles on their faces brightened.

They were busy weighing and counting money until after 6 o'clock. Then they put on their backpacks, carried their things carefully, and went home briskly to report the good news.

In the evening, Lou Xiao'e had dinner directly at Qin's house.

Jia Zhang, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang looked at the large plate of sliced ​​beef on the table and kept drooling with greed.

In the past, Bang Geng and Jia Zhang might have been eager to steal a few pieces.

But Qin Huairu has followed Chu Xiangqian for five or six years, it would be strange if she was not influenced by him.

So his love for his children remained unchanged, but he became more and more strict in disciplining Banggeng and Xiaodang.

If Bang Geng was really naughty, he would be beaten by Qin Huairu many times.

When she first started beating Bang Geng, Qin Huairu felt distressed and even cried with regret when she went to sleep at night.

But Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but keep talking nonsense. He said that he was also very naughty when he was a child, but although his father was not as cruel as his second uncle, he would still beat him while reasoning with him.

The more powerful Chu Xiangqian became, the more Qin Huairu felt that he had to be beaten when it was time to beat him, because he would only remember it when it hurt.

In addition, Jia Zhang still has to rely on Qin Huairu to make money from the antique business, and the leadership of this family has long been firmly controlled by Qin Huairu.

In particular, if Jia Zhang was distressed, Qin Huairu would pull her aside and whisper that she was teaching Bang Geng according to Chu Xiangqian's instructions.

Jia Zhang was immediately speechless.

Even if this old woman was stupid, she knew that Chu Xiangqian was a real talent.

Think about the time when they practiced martial arts for the sake of patriotism and love for the people. Chu Xiangqian held a stick and beat the two brothers, making them jump in pain, but they didn't dare to have any opinion about Chu Xiangqian.

Now his work of loving his country and the people is going smoothly. He has married and had children, and even found a job for his wife.

Bang Geng is already ten years old. In a few years, he will not only have to consider work, but also find a wife.

If Chu Xiangqian is made unhappy, just ignore Bang Geng and rely on Qin Huairu alone, the work should not be difficult.

But it’s hard to marry a good wife.

Therefore, every time Jia Zhang saw Bang Geng being beaten, although she felt distressed, she could only endure it.

Without her grandmother's protection, Bang Geng learned his lesson after being beaten a few times.

Even though the beef on the table smelled delicious, Bang Geng was still patient. He waited until his mother and Xiao E came to the table before he grabbed the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

However, after eating a piece, this kid still remembered to pass it to Xiaodang, which means he is not completely ruined.
-
On New Year's Eve, my second uncle, second aunt, and third uncle and their families went to the courtyard in Shichahai early in the morning to help prepare food for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Chu Xiangqian brought Jingrong, Jingxing, 16-month-old Jingye, and 14-month-old Jingqi.

There are also Ailin, Aiqiu and Baoyi, who put up couplets and hung lanterns inside and outside the courtyard.

However, the main force behind the work is still Chu Xiangqian and Ailin.

Ai Qiu and Bao Yi, using the excuse of keeping an eye on the four little guys, ate snacks while stuffing a piece of preserved fruit or candy into the mouths of the four little guys, and directed Chu Xiangqian and Ai Lin with a smile.

Chu looked forward and saw Da Zhuang, Hong Niu, two greyhounds and two black dogs following them. He said unhappily to Ai Qiu and Bao Yi, "Go and help your sister-in-law and aunt wash the vegetables if you have nothing to do. Don't stay here and make people feel annoyed."

Baoyi shrank his neck. Keaiqiu was not afraid of his elder brother at all.

He retorted with a smile, "Brother, my mother dislikes my slowness in washing vegetables, and asked Baoyi and I to help you look after Xiaorongrong and the other four."

After that, she picked up Chu Jingxing and asked with a smile, "Jingxing, is aunt okay?"

Jingxing was eating Taopu in his mouth and nodded subconsciously. Ai Qiu immediately looked at Chu Xiangqian proudly.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes and simply ignored her.

After a busy morning, we finally hung up more than a dozen couplets and dozens of lanterns inside and outside the courtyard, and also connected the electricity.

As soon as the switch was turned on, the yard was filled with a festive faint red light.

The four little guys, Jingrong, Jingxing, Jingye and Jingqi, cheered when they saw this.

At noon, the little guys ate cooked meat and noodles for lunch, and their appetite was three times larger than usual.
