"Father, you are old."

"You are not young anymore. Alas, we have been apart for thirty or forty years. What a pity that your mother... alas!"

The old man felt very sad. He felt sorry for that woman.

But the old woman had booked the boat tickets back then. He was busy reselling the Chu family's property, so he really couldn't take it into consideration. However, he and the old woman repeatedly emphasized that they must book the tickets for the concubine, mother and son, but the old woman violated the rules and deliberately left out the concubine. , and said that tickets were too tight and could not be booked.

The old man originally wanted to think of another way, but the situation became more and more tense, with bad news every day, and it became more and more difficult to get a ticket. Even twenty gold bars could not get a ticket, so in the end he had to take it first. He went out with his eldest daughter-in-law, intending to come back to pick up the mother and son when the war subsided, but little did they know that they would be gone for decades, and seeing each other again would mean life and death.

"My mother died peacefully and didn't suffer much." Chu Yuanzhi said with sobs.

The old man sighed, and when he saw Yang Lingling, his expression changed slightly. Chu Dingxiang told him that his youngest son was married to a rich woman in Hong Kong City. She must be this woman. She looked quite outstanding and knew how to be polite.

"I'm Yang Lingling. I just got married to Yuanzhi." Yang Lingling introduced herself with a smile.

Chu Yuanzhi was a little embarrassed. After all, he had been married three times, so he was embarrassed.

"Sit down, I'm Chu Fanghai."

The old man's first impression of Yang Lingling was not bad. After sitting down, he said: "Yuanzhi, come back to Shanghai with me in a few days to pay homage to your mother."

"Why."

Chu Yuanzhi was naturally willing, and his eyes turned red again when he thought of his mother.

The old man looked at Yang Lingling and said, "You can go too."

After all, she is a daughter-in-law, so she must pay homage to her parents-in-law.

Yang Lingling refused, and said with a smile: "I have a very important project in two days. I really can't get away and can't accompany you. Let Yuanzhi accompany you. When I was in Shanghai, I had already paid homage to my mother. ”

The old man's expression changed. He didn't expect that Yang Lingling would reject him. He was the elder and the head of the family. He always followed his words and his actions had consequences. This woman actually didn't listen to his arrangements?

"What important project can be more important than paying homage to your mother-in-law?" The old man said in a bad tone.

He felt that Yang Lingling was trying to push the envelope, which was too rude.

"Father, Lingling's company's business is very busy." Chu Yuanzhi helped to speak. He also felt that there was no need to involve Yang Lingling. People have money every second. He just respected his mother in his heart. There was no need to be rigid. The form.

The old man glared angrily. He was talking to his daughter-in-law. Why did this kid interrupt?

At first glance, he looks like a weakling with no say at home, a worthless thing.

Yang Lingling said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I am indeed very busy at work, and I think my heart is the most important. It is enough to respect my mother-in-law in my heart. When I have time, I can go and worship her. My mother-in-law is a sensible person and will understand the younger generation. Just It’s like my mother-in-law understands that you won’t come back for decades, what do you think?”

The old man's face suddenly turned ugly and he was speechless. He did owe Yuanzhi's mother, but was this what a daughter-in-law could say?

Why did Yuanzhi, that brat, marry such a sharp-toothed wife?

Yang Lingling stood up and said softly: "I have something to do at my company, so I'll leave first. You just stay in this hotel and don't have to pay. It will be credited to my account."

Then he said to Chu Yuanzhi: "Have a good time chatting with your father. I will ask someone to book the ticket back to Shanghai. Don't go home too late at night."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Chu Yuanzhi was very obedient.

The old man looked sideways, angry, and his expression was very ugly. His wife's words were like an imperial edict. Did his son marry an old woman?

Yang Lingling smiled and left the hotel gracefully. As soon as she left, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "Why did you marry such a wife? You worthless thing!"

"Father, Lingling is a very nice person, don't say that."

Chu Yuanzhi was unhappy. He felt that Yang Lingling couldn't be better. Why would his father talk about his wife like this? Besides -

"You've been saying that I have no future since I was little, and now that I'm this old, you still say that I have no future anyway."

Chu Yuanzhi sounded a little aggrieved. Since he was said to be useless, why did he still ask him to do something promising?

Is not this contradictory?

The old man fell down in anger and glared at the unfilial son angrily. Chu Yuanzhi lowered his head in aggrieved manner. The emotion when the father and son met also faded and became a little embarrassed.

"Grandpa, uncle, when are you going to go back to Shanghai?" Chu Dingxiang broke the embarrassment. She hadn't given up yet and wanted to go back together. Maybe there would be a turn for the better.

"The sooner the better."

The old man wants to return to his hometown as soon as possible. He has missed Shanghai so much these years and wishes he could fly there now.

Chu Qiao's family has returned to Shanghai. When they got off the train station, they heard the familiar local accent, which was very friendly, and they also heard the cry, "Phoenix eggs, one for a dime."

"Give me two first."

Chu Qiao was greedy and bought two eggs. The hawker was a kind aunt who picked two eggs. Chu Qiao cracked open the eggs and sucked the soup. It was so delicious. She asked the aunt to sprinkle some salt on it and tasted it with relish. Start eating.

Gu Ye held Xinxin in his arms and let his wife enjoy it first. Xinxin kept screaming with greed and reached out to grab the egg in Chu Qiao's hand. She was so anxious.

"You can't eat, chew this."

Chu Qiao didn't give it to her. The old man said that phoenix eggs should not be given to children. She didn't know if there was any scientific basis for it, but she would rather believe it. She took out a teething stick from her bag and let Xinxin hold it and chew it.

[Phoenix eggs are happy eggs, also called living beads and hairy eggs]

She ate two eggs, Gu Ye ate three, and then the family went home. When people from the machine tool factory saw them, they all came over to say hello.

"Is it fun in the port city?"

"Is there really gold on the ground there?"

"Are all the people over there rich?"

"Do they all live in big houses and drive foreign cars?"

After a while, many people gathered around, all asking about Hong Kong City. They were all like curious babies, and the questions they asked were ridiculous.

Gu Ye answered one by one, "If there is no gold to pick up, you think it's Jinshan. The poor people there are so pitiful that they don't even have enough to eat. Their sleeping places are like coffin boards. Some people don't even have to sleep on coffin boards. At night Sleeping on the street.”

"There are people over there who don't have enough to eat?" Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Why not? There are poor people everywhere. There are many poor people in Hong Kong City. They are very pitiful. You will know when you go there to play in the future."

"How can we have a chance to play? It's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. You are so lucky, Chief Gu. You are traveling all over the world at such a young age and you have such a big heart that you have already traveled across the ocean."

Everyone was very envious and had never thought about going to Hong Kong City. It was too far away and not cheap to go there. They were reluctant to part with it. If they had money, they might as well buy more meat to eat.

After all these people had satisfied their curiosity, the family could escape and finally return to their own home. No one had lived in it for two months, but the home was still spotless with bright windows. Apparently Lin Yulan came to clean it often.

After taking a bath, the family of three slept together. They slept until dark before being woken up by the ringing of the phone. Chu Qiao went to answer the phone in a daze. It was the call from Assistant Yang Lingling, and her words made her wake up immediately.

"My grandpa is coming over? When?"
