A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 199 The Spring Festival of 78
Except for Nan Yi, Xu Damao, Yang Wu and Yang Li, no one else in the courtyard knew that He Yukai was going to open a restaurant.

But seeing that all the members of the He family have been out and about during this period of time, busying around, I’m also wondering what the He family is doing?
The young people were all at work, so Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui wanted to let their sons go and take a look, but their sons no longer cared about He Yukai losing his position as factory director.

The two old men could only shake their heads and smile bitterly, their children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and they couldn’t say anything more.

We must not tell them what the He family is going to do, otherwise public opinion will arise again, which will be extremely annoying. What's the point of telling these people?
Not only are they of no help at all, but they are also people with narrow vision. For them, working from nine to five and 996 are the most stable. They have no idea how society will develop in the future.

Those with vision have already taken action, but those without vision are different. Many people despise He Yukai's outrageous actions in their hearts.

In their eyes, resigning as deputy factory director is the stupidest act. This is something they want but cannot get. Only He Yukai would do this. In their eyes, He Yukai is extremely stupid.

Perhaps only Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui guessed that He Yukai would definitely make a big move, no worse than the deputy factory director, and even better given He Yukai's cleverness.

Even if Yi Zhonghai knew, no one would tell anyone, and now no one believes her.

Liu Haizhong's outrageous behavior when the child was young made Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu very dissatisfied for a while.

Although he corrected it later, his prestige was definitely greatly reduced and the children did not listen to him.

Yan Bugui couldn't persuade the children anymore. An old person in the family is like a treasure. These people have witnessed He Yukai's growth over the past twenty years and can be said to know He Yukai well enough. Unfortunately, they no longer have the power to make decisions.

Even if they tell it, the children at home won't believe it and will think He Yukai is stupid. What else can they do?

But don’t the children think that He Yukai and Cai Wenqing are idiots?
Definitely not. If he were a fool, he wouldn’t be living such a happy life till now.

"Old Liu, are you still thinking about the He family? If I were you, I'd say you shouldn't think about it anymore. It's useless to think about it."

The three former managers now get together every day to play chess. Their lives are pretty good, except for Yi Zhonghai who is living the worst.

The pension is very small, less than 40 yuan a month, and you have to cook for yourself. But Yi Zhonghai has let it go.

After scheming for a lifetime, in the end, this is what you can do?
Qin Huairu wanted to pay attention, but Yi Zhonghai always felt that Qin Huairu was eyeing his pension and house.

Yi Zhonghai has decided to leave the house and the little money he saved to Li after he dies. Although Li still ignores him, he feels guilty towards her after all.

Yi Zhonghai doesn't know about Qin Huairu's IUD yet. If he knew, he would probably go crazy. He Yukai hasn't let her go either. If this continues, He Yukai is going to let this old guy go.

Unfortunately, many things are not so easy to end. The eldest master of the Jia family has not returned yet. A big storm has gradually formed, but the dark clouds have not yet come over.

"Yes, Lao Yi, we are old now. The children have grown independent and can no longer speak. He Yukai is definitely planning something big. He wanted to let the children take advantage of him, but unfortunately no one listens to us anymore."

Yan Bugui sighed, lamenting that time flies, and that they can no longer have a say at home, so should he participate himself? He is unable to do so.

If it weren't for He Yukai's reminder, perhaps the children would have left long ago. Yan Bugui is well aware of He Yukai's keenness and control of the current situation.

Liu Haizhong also echoed the statement, saying that he had the same experience. He had followed He Yukai for so many years, so how could he not know how powerful the eldest son of the He family was? He also reminded him, but unfortunately no one listened. He felt that his children would definitely regret it.

"Yes, I have been scheming all my life, but I am still alone. I will live one day at a time, General."

Yi Zhonghai also sighed, shook his head helplessly, and continued playing chess.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui did not respond. The right and wrong of the matter were already very clear, and it was too late to figure it out now.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's eyes narrowed and revealed an envious look. Li came in with her son. The mother and son were talking and laughing. Is it time to get out of school?
If I hadn't done anything foolish in the first place, would I have adopted a child and lived a happy life?
Li's health is getting better and better, and she is smiling every day.

Li walked away without watching them play chess. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui looked at each other and sighed.

If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first thirty years. In the first thirty years, the son relied on the father, and in the second thirty years, it is unclear whether the father can pass the exam and the son can pass it. But the person who will accompany you as you grow old is your spouse. Although we still don't know the reason for Yi Zhonghai's divorce, it is ultimately true that Yi Zhonghai took the wrong path.

The He family is cleaning the house. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The New Year is coming, and today's New Year is particularly different. The colors on the streets are gradually becoming brighter. In the past, clothes were only of the same colors, but now you can see young girls wearing flowery clothes.

This year's cleaning was done by the younger generation. He Qian gave orders like a general, and the lively scene made others envious.

He Qian has a very high status among the younger generation of children in the He family. She is a veritable big sister. No younger brother dares to challenge her authority. He Yu, the favored girl, is He Qian's little follower and the most loyal follower. Who among the boys dares to act rashly?

When Qin Huairu saw this scene, she inevitably thought of her son and wondered where Bang Geng was.

I definitely won’t be able to come back for the Chinese New Year this year. If I were to come back, I should have arrived by now. I received a letter a few days ago, telling me that I had to go to Hong Kong Island.

She didn't know what her son was doing. He just said he made a lot of money, but he didn't send any back home, which made her worry.

Her son Bang Geng has been smart since he was young and will definitely make a lot of money and come back with glory. Qin Huairu has no doubt about this. He has gone to Hong Kong Island to make a lot of money at such a young age. He will have the same clothes as the women in the He family. The children of the He family just go to Hong Kong Island to play, but her son already knows how to make money.

Thinking of this, he looked at the He children with disdain and went home.

The invitation to Yi Zhonghai to celebrate the New Year together was rejected. This old man is now deliberately keeping his distance.

When I was cleaning the house, I remembered that I was angry when I invited Yi Zhonghai to spend the New Year with me but was rejected. You were not like this back then, you old dog. You wanted to climb into my bed every day.

Now that she had taken the initiative to invite someone, she was rejected. This made her feel unbelievable. How could this be possible?

Shouldn't she have invited Yi Zhonghai to come with meat and vegetables to add color to her family's New Year's Eve dinner?
But even if she was rejected by Yi Zhonghai, she couldn't turn against him.

She also wanted Yi Zhonghai's house. If she offended him, there would be no hope. What about Banggeng's wedding house? Yi Zhonghai's house was so big. Wouldn't it be great if she gave it to her Banggeng to get married?

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu without saying anything. She knew what Qin Huairu was planning, but she didn't dare to remind her.

Jia Zhang knew Yi Zhonghai too well. This man had his own purpose for everything he did. Qin Huairu's plan was probably useless.

No one in this compound knows who Yi Zhonghai is better than him. Old Jia had a very good relationship with Yi Zhonghai back then, and Old Jia's analysis is still vivid in his mind.

Lao Jia told him that Yi Zhonghai's eyes had no emotions at all, only naked interests. This man's biggest weakness was his good reputation, and as long as he grasped this point, he would be invincible.

The day when Yi Zhonghai puts aside his face and reputation and asks her to stay as far away from him as possible, Yi Zhonghai will be the most terrifying at this time. He will put aside all his scruples. If there is no deaf old lady in this compound, no one can defeat her.

Unfortunately, with the changes of the times, his small treasury is gone, and he can only rely on Qin Huairu to live. Things are different now. After Qin Huairu put aside his filial personality, he is no longer someone she can control.

What a stupid girl Xiaodang. She is just a private teacher, but she doesn't even come back from school and doesn't even buy herself some painkillers.

And Sophora japonica, I buy everything at home by myself, so why would I need money? It's impossible.

Her hope now is her eldest grandson Banggeng. She will definitely live a good life after Banggeng comes back. She has loved her eldest grandson since he was a child. My eldest grandson! When will you come back?

After cleaning, He Jiang ran away and went to Zhengyangmen. Now He Jiang and Guan Lin have established a relationship and they are together every day.

Cai Wenqing is looking for someone to see if she can send Guan Lin to the film studio to learn acting. Through the conversation, Cai Wenqing finds that Guan Lin has a strong interest in acting. She feels that he is also a good person. He can't be just a vase, right?

Since you are interested in film and television, you should at least understand it. Apart from the art troupe and film studio, you can forget about joining the art troupe. If you can't pass the review, you can only see if you can enter the film studio.

Originally, He Yukai wanted to return to Hong Kong Island to study performing arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, but He Jiang was unwilling, so he had to give up.

He Yukai generally supports his children's decisions. Besides, He Yukai is reserved about Guan Lin entering the entertainment industry. It would be better for him to learn how to manage a company with Yu Shui.

The He family will definitely get better and better in the future, and it would be better if the main figures of the He family are not public figures.

He Qian no longer had any reaction to He Jiang's reaction. She would have made a few jokes and rolled her eyes afterwards, but now she was too lazy to even show any expression.

He Qian thinks that falling in love is simply a waste of time. She wants to become a financial queen in the future, so how could she waste time on falling in love?

He Qian has very high standards. She wants the partner she finds in the future to be at least not worse than her, otherwise she would rather not get married. Her ideas are still very avant-garde. Cai Wenqing opposed He Qian's ideas several times, but He Yukai did not say anything. She believed that there would always be someone who would make her daughter's heart beat faster in the future, so there was no point in being anxious now.

He Xiao and Xu Nuan have no other feelings when they are together. He Bing just wants to graduate from college quickly and accept He Yukai's arrangement to become his apprentice. His mind is not on these things. As for He Yu, he is simply thinking about what delicious food his father will make on New Year's Eve. You can't understand the world of foodies at all.

The next day, everyone in the He family was picked up by Cai Quanwu. This has remained the same for all these years and has never changed. Perhaps if Cai Quanwu didn't come to pick them up, everyone in the compound would be surprised!
For more than 20 years, the He family has not celebrated the New Year in the compound, and they have become accustomed to it.

"Tonight we celebrate the New Year, the children have grown up, and their lives will get better and better. Here I wish the children success in their studies and a prosperous family."

Cai Quanwu is obviously different this year from previous years, which makes me feel a little emotional.

After the toast, the children went to play by themselves, while He Yukai and the others talked about the future.

"Xiao Kai, how is the preparation for your restaurant going?" In the adult world, casual conversations are mostly about income, work, and expectations for the coming year.

Of course, when the younger generation is around, they can’t help asking questions about study, relationships, work, etc., which is very annoying.

Some elders like to ask these questions, but you can’t solve them, so why bother saying more?
"Almost done, uncle, we're going to open the business after the New Year."

"Think carefully. After all, this is the first one and it will definitely be the focus. If you need us, just let us know and we will all be there to help. We probably won't be able to handle it all on the first day."

He is the oldest in the He family now. Even though he knows that He Yukai has considered everything, he still can't help but remind him that this is the way the elders should be.

Remind not to interfere and get along happily.

"I understand, uncle. Just let the kids go over and help out someday. What do you think of the tavern?"

This pub is still a bit troublesome, just chatting! Even if I know what Xu Huizhen thinks, I can't help asking.

"Let's wait in the tavern. I'll probably have to return it to He Yongqiang when the time comes."

A lot of gossip has been spread, and it seems that it was released intentionally just to see everyone's reaction.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if they don’t return it. After all, they can directly contract it from the government or buy it directly. It’s already a public-private partnership!
However, Xu Huizhen knows He Yongqiang. He will definitely come to her if she sees any profit to be made. She also doesn't want to take advantage of you. This was originally left for He Yongqiang by her and the old man. She has already divorced He Yongqiang.

"You can see for yourself, this place just carries the memories of many people. Can He Yongqiang hold on? Haha..."

I'm not joking, uncle. If He Yongqiang can't make it, he can take over the business and continue running the pub.

Whether it makes money or not is secondary. The main thing is that the old neighbors have a place to reminisce. Of course, this is a later story. There are more and more rumors now, and no one knows what will happen in detail. "

He Yukai knew the future direction, but he couldn't reveal it casually, otherwise the channel would become a problem.

"Yeah, I can't bear to do that either."

Xu Huizhen had thought about it. She knew He Yongqiang's ability. He was a servant with low emotional intelligence. The key was that he liked to use crooked means. He would definitely be able to dilute the wine with water. Then she could just spend money to buy him.

"No more talking. We have to start preparing. We need to plan ahead for the hotel. I heard that the policy is being discussed in the past two years and it is very likely that the policy will be released at any time."

“As long as the funds are not a problem, many buildings can be rented.”

"No, Auntie, just buy it if you can. I'll pay for the shares when the time comes. I'm confident you can run the business here. I have too many plans and will definitely not get stuck in a specific industry."

Just kidding, it would be best to buy it, and then hand over all the business to the children. Wouldn’t it be nice for them to just be idle?
Even if the children's business encounters problems, these properties can support them for several lifetimes. Isn't he struggling now just for the children?
"That's fine, but Xiaokai still needs to be cautious and not take too big a step."

Xu Huizhen also looked at He Yukai worriedly. The family members all felt He Yukai's anxiety. He Yukai shook his head and smiled. He really wasn't nervous at all.

It’s just that in many cases, we have to occupy the market as soon as possible. The liberalization will have to be at least in 1980, which means there are still two years left, and by then the situation will not be the same as it is now.

You have to spend the money you have as quickly as possible, but it still depends on the overall environment.

"It's okay, Auntie. I know what's going on. I just told your sister to find a place in advance. Once the policy allows, start right away. We still have enough funds. You can save a lot of money by buying it right away while the prices are low."

Cai Wenqing didn't say anything. Although He Yukai looked anxious, he actually knew what was going on.

They have communicated many times, and what He Yukai said makes sense. Houses are not very expensive now, and the Hong Kong dollars in He Yukai's hands can be exchanged for RMB at any time. By the time everyone starts to enter the industry, the investment cost will definitely be very high.

If you haven't been to Hong Kong Island to see the fast pace there, you will never know that many people are racing against time. He Yukai is worried that they don't take it seriously and wait until the policy comes out before looking for a place, which will lose some of the first-mover advantage.

Losing the initiative is likely to increase costs, especially in the capital.

There is no need to rush about these things. Just communicate more with your aunt.

Many issues were brought up, and Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu were asked to fill in the gaps. The discussion was very intense, and Cai Quanwu was able to bring up the key points in a timely manner in many cases.

When watching TV in his previous life, He Yukai felt that Cai Quanwu was a think tank-type figure. Without Cai Quanwu, Xu Huizhen might not have achieved such great success.

Through tonight's discussion, He Yukai became more certain that Xu Huizhen was fine with the specific matters, but Cai Quanwu still needed advice on the key points.

It’s just that Tsai Quanwu is the kind of person who hides behind the scenes. Perhaps Tsai Quanwu is the person who has thought most thoroughly about the word “hiding”.

Although Cai Quanwu doesn't talk much, he is very smart. No wonder Xu Huizhen didn't choose Teacher Xu or Fan Jinyou back then. Xu Huizhen has a good ability to judge people and has a good vision.

It was Guan Lin’s first time to celebrate the Spring Festival in China and he felt an atmosphere that was different from that in Hong Kong Island. Perhaps this is the true meaning of the Spring Festival, with the whole family getting together to celebrate the New Year. I heard that there will be a lot of excitement tomorrow, including the Tianqiao Temple Fair. I am both curious and looking forward to all of this.

He looked at He Jiang with particular satisfaction. He had been in Shenzhou for such a long time, and the people here were all very nice to him. The care in all aspects made Guan Lin feel the warmth of home. When he was in Hong Kong Island, only his grandmother was kind to him.

Now so many people care about her, understand her feelings, and fully respect her opinions on future plans. Perhaps this is the feeling of home!

He Jiang could feel her number. There was no intrigue here. Although there were no tall buildings like those in Hong Kong Island, she found that the people here were in good spirits.

How should I put it? They have full confidence in the future and the country. It is not like in Hong Kong Island, where foreigners are superior to others. Even if they do the same job and have the same experience, foreigners get paid more than Chinese.

She likes this place more and more. It has a strong human touch.

He Yukai and the others came out to watch the children set off firecrackers. He Qian was shouting and screaming there. No matter what time it was, He Qian seemed to be the happiest.

It’s hard to imagine that a girl like this could cause such a stir in Hong Kong Island.

After the He family left, He Qian's story had already spread within a small circle in Hong Kong Island. Many experts specifically interpreted it and were full of expectations for He Qian's future achievements in the financial field.

Hong Kong Island
He Yushui and Zhao Jianguo were also celebrating the New Year. During this period, He Yushui was the one who changed the fastest. His clothing and other aspects had changed a lot. Zhao Jianguo directly became He Yushui's full-time driver.

"Jianguo, I wonder how my brother and the others are doing now."

Every festive season brings homesickness, and Chinese New Year is the time when we miss home the most, and no one is immune to this.

Even the most heinous criminals will miss their loved ones during the Chinese New Year. Reunion during the Chinese New Year has been ingrained in their bones for thousands of years.

"Don't worry, we will definitely spend the New Year at my uncle's place. Didn't my eldest brother tell us to study hard here and develop Longteng Entertainment? The policies there will get better soon, and we can go back anytime then."

Zhao Jianguo has been in Hong Kong Island for some time. He is He Yushui's driver, bodyguard and husband. Only in this way can He Yukai feel at ease. The situation in Hong Kong Island is still very complicated.

"We've been celebrating the New Year together for so many years, so I'm a little uncomfortable today. It's okay. Jianguo, have you brought Gao Ling's specialty?"

"It was taken by Gao Ling's father."

"Gao Ling is very busy, we need to pay more attention to her"

He Yushui always remembered what his eldest brother told him, that Gao Ling must be taken good care of, as this person could be of great value, mainly in terms of caring about her life. The bonus was well deserved, and caring about her life could make people feel a sense of belonging.

Although the bond of interests is the most solid relationship, for individuals, isn’t the bond of interests more unbreakable?

The benefits you give to others may cause them to change jobs as long as someone offers more. But it is different when it comes to emotions. In many cases, it is an important factor to consider.

Capital
"Understood, let's eat."

He Yuzhu was also thinking about his sister. She had to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner every year. Even if she was married, she would prepare the meal and ask Jianguo to bring it over on New Year's Eve. So how did she celebrate the New Year this year?
"Zhu Zi, what's wrong?"

"Moth, I don't know how the rainy year passed."

"Yeah, but Jianguo is gone, so it should be fine. My husband and children are by my side, so I won't feel lonely at all. But I might miss the food you cooked for me."

"That's right. I cook the New Year's Eve dinner every year. It would be strange if you can get used to it."

He Yuzhu became proud when talking about cooking. Perhaps his cooking skills were what made him most proud in his life. Lou Xiao'e rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu.

I was feeling disappointed just now, but I immediately became proud when I talked about the delicious food he cooked. What kind of person is he?

During the Spring Festival, life is different in all its aspects.
