Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 117 Liu Meng: I'm going to get busy
in the afternoon.

He Wenhui and her friends continued to travel around, while Liu Hongchang rode his bike to look for Liu Meng.

After Liu Meng's brother Liu Cheng retired from the army, he was not satisfied with the job he was assigned, and now works as a transport team leader in Liu Hongchang's food factory.

Liu Hongchang's car driver is Liu Cheng's comrade-in-arms. He is a young man with strong professional ability and honesty.

Normally, Liu Hongchang rarely uses his car except for work and necessary social activities.

This thing is glamorous, but it also attracts jealousy and envy. There will always be people who hate the rich in any era.

The place where Liu Meng lives now is also a courtyard house with two entrances and one width. The area is not small, but not very large either. She feels quiet and comfortable living here alone.

Especially since Liu Meng likes to grow flowers and plants, the cross-yard is just the right place to use them.

In the small garden, it was calm and peaceful. Liu Hongchang sat on a recliner with a peaceful mind. He lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

Liu Meng cleaned up, came over to get a blanket and covered Liu Hongchang with it, her face flushed as she said, "You're right, there's a big conflict between my dad and my brother."

"My father is used to educating students. He always looks condescending and gives orders."

"My brother lost many opportunities because of his low education, and he already had complaints, so we could never communicate well."

"My dad despises my brother for not living up to his expectations, and my brother complains that my dad doesn't help him, and even if he says he will help him, it's only lip service."

"If you hadn't helped him when he was discharged from the army, he might still be unemployed now."

Liu Hongchang exhaled a puff of smoke, shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't help much. After all, the factory has to provide some jobs for retired soldiers every year."

"You can't say that. It may be a piece of cake for you, but it's a great help to my brother." Liu Meng said gratefully.

Liu Hongchang said with a smile: "Isn't it my duty to help my brother-in-law?"

"Hehe..." Liu Meng smiled, stood up and sat on his lap, lying in his arms, her face full of happiness.

"A few days ago, my dad asked me to join his R&D team to learn. Starting next year, I will start to be busy."

Liu Hongchang raised his hand to play with her milky white snow-white nipples, and said with a smile: "There is always time to rest. I don't believe that you will stay in the laboratory all year round."

"That's not the case, it's just that the rest time was not as regular as it is now." Liu Meng smiled.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "Study hard, and when you can lead a team independently, I will pay you to do research and development, how about that?"

Liu Meng chuckled and said, "I'm willing to do that, but I'm afraid my dad won't agree. He has put a lot of thought into training me to be his assistant. But it's a little early to say that now. We'll see how things go later!"

As they were talking, the phone in the next yard rang. They could hear it from far away. Liu Meng stood up and said, "I'll be right back."

After a while, she answered the phone and trotted over, saying with a resentful look, "I have several female classmates coming over to play, and I can't refuse them no matter how hard I try. I'm afraid I can't keep you here today."

"Okay, we have a long way to go!" Liu Hongchang stood up and said with a smile, walked up to her, kissed her, and walked away.

……

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, people became busy again, and Liu Hongchang was no exception.

His career in China will develop in leaps and bounds next year, and many preparations require his final approval.

To this end, he also went on many business trips to other places to negotiate and sign with cooperative units. Because he had done a lot of work in advance, when Liu Hongchang showed up, basically all the links had been opened up, and it was very smooth. Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the winter in the lunar calendar. The weather was gray and heavy snow was falling from the sky.

It is said that it is easy to live in luxury but difficult to live in frugality. The winter was cold, and even though Liu Hongchang had a car, he gave up his bicycle.

Every day when I get home from get off work, before my car leaves, there will be a group of children watching.

A few days ago, a kid, who was jealous of the rich, kicked the car body twice. Although no harm was caused, the driver caught him red-handed.

Wang Cuilan was very angry about this, so she twisted the child's ear and scolded him in front of his parents.

The other party's parents were also very scared. If such an expensive car was damaged in the slightest, an ordinary family would not be able to afford the compensation.

So they had a mixed doubles fight on the spot, and immediately admitted their mistakes, almost falling to their knees.

Wang Cuilan didn't really want to do anything to the other party. After she calmed down, she learned that Liu Hongchang had bought many courtyard houses, so she discussed with him to move to another place.

In fact, now that we have more children at home, we have been talking about this for a long time, but we just couldn’t make up our mind.

Wang Cuilan said to everyone: "In the past, I always felt that I had lived in this courtyard for decades and had developed feelings for it. Even if I died here, I would not want to move. But Hong Chang's status has changed, and many people are short-sighted. They always say that Hong Chang is lucky to have earned such a large fortune."

"They don't even think about why Hongchang can get ahead when they are still just workers, and some are even sweeping the streets. They are just dog meat buns - not presentable. We have helped them so much in vain over the years."

Liu Hongchang comforted her, "Mom, don't be angry. It won't be difficult to move anyway. I'll arrange for someone to move tomorrow."

He Wenhui, holding her child in her arms, agreed, "We don't have to move too far. Hong Chang has taken me to that yard before. It has three entrances and two bays. It's already been renovated and ready for us to move in at any time. There's also a garage reserved for us. We won't run into this kind of shit again."

Wang Cuilan's expression eased a little, and she said to Liu Hongchang with guilt, "If I had known that you would do so well, I shouldn't have asked you to move back. It would have been much better to just move in one step and live in a separate yard."

"When we move tomorrow, I'll go with you. Your eldest brother and his family will stay here. Even though we're a family, we often hang out together, and it won't be the same after a while."

This matter is actually quite specific. Liu Hongchang's family has a high standard of living, and they have good food, clothing and housing.

So sometimes I had to consider Liu Yunchang and others. If there was something good at home, I would always give them a share.

Although it was nothing to Liu Hongchang and his men, Liu Yunchang was concerned about his reputation and always felt uncomfortable receiving help from Liu Hongchang.

But he couldn't completely refuse his brother's help. After all, they were brothers and they had to show some courtesy. If he was too polite, even if Wang Cuilan didn't say anything, outsiders would think that they were not getting along.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay. But will sister-in-law accuse you of being partial? That you only take care of our children?"

"Oh, you say you'll treat everyone equally, but how can you really do that?" Wang Cuilan said with a chuckle.

"Don't worry too much about this. I'll be the one to decide who to be with, right?"

After everything was discussed, Liu Hongchang and his family moved the next day.

The new place was not too far away, still on Hongxing Street, only separated by two alleys, but in the same alley as Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru was happy for a long time because of this. She already knew Wang Cuilan and He Wenhui. They lived in the same alley and often met each other. As a result, the two families visited each other frequently.

Even the children of both sides became friends and often played together.
