Era: Start as a buyer

Luo Yan and her husband Wang Ping are living a pretty good life now, both working, with two sons and a daughter.

After Luo Cheng and Luo Yan met, they chatted briefly in the communication room, saying that he had been to Hong Kong for many years, not because he didn't want to come back, but because he couldn't come back.

It was not convenient to chat more in the guard communication room, so Luo Yan asked for leave and went to the kitchen to tell her husband Wang Ping that his second brother Luo Cheng was back. And he came back from Hong Kong, and asked him to go home at noon, and his second brother Luo Cheng would take them to a restaurant.

After Luo Yan asked for leave, Luo Cheng first took her back to the hotel and let her see Hong Xiu and the child he had with Hong Xiu.

Hong Xiu guessed that Luo Cheng was going to leave, and she didn't tell anyone else when she followed Luo Cheng. However, Hong Xiu's sudden disappearance was on the night when Luo Cheng met Zhao Qian and the child.

Zhao Qian and Luo Yan also guessed that Hong Xiu would not escape with Luo Cheng, mainly because the time was too coincidental. Now Luo Yan saw the appearance of Zhang Hongxiu, which also confirmed the guess of the year.

It was just a little awkward. No matter what, Luo Yan would stand on his brother Luo Cheng's side. Since Luo Cheng and Hong Xiu were together, they could only call each other sister-in-law.

Zhang Hongxiu heard Luo Yan call her sister-in-law, even if she added a small word in front, she also recognized her relationship with Luo Cheng. She immediately talked with Luo Yan enthusiastically, and suddenly returned to the good sister relationship when they lived in the same room and slept in the same bed.

"Yanzi, why don't you bring your husband and children and go to Hong Kong with me. Your brother has many houses in Hong Kong, you can live in any of them, and we have many industries in Hong Kong, you don't have to be a warehouse keeper in the machinery factory at all."

"This~~, sister-in-law Hongxiu, I can't make the decision on this matter. The child is still young, and Wang Ping and I both have jobs in the machinery factory. If I really want to go, I have to discuss it with my family."

Hearing Hongxiu's invitation, it is impossible for Luo Yan to say that she is not moved. Not to mention that her second brother Luo Cheng and Hong Xiu are living well in Hong Kong, even if they are just average, if her second brother really invites her, she will be moved.

In the past, Luo Yan relied on her brother Luo Cheng. Even though she hadn't seen him for more than ten years, her inner dependence immediately reappeared as soon as Luo Cheng appeared.

But now she is not alone, she has a husband and children, so let alone Hong Xiu's invitation, even if Luo Cheng wants her to go to Hong Kong. She has to get the consent of her husband Wang Ping and the children.

Luo Cheng and Hong Xiu's children all enthusiastically called Luo Yan aunt. This is the first time they met, and Luo Yan didn't have any good gifts for her nephews.

Although Luo Yan is living a good life now, she just doesn't have to worry about food and drink. After all, two people earn money, but two sons and one daughter are all growing boys, and they don't have to spend money on food, clothing and daily necessities. Not having to worry about food and drink is considered good in the current country.

There is a little savings, not much, usually prepared for emergency use.

Luo Yan has nothing to give to her nephews and nieces, but Luo Cheng can give Luo Yan's children gifts. After staying in the hotel for a while, the group followed Luo Yan to where she lives now.

When Luo Cheng came back this time, he actually brought some electronic watches and other things. These things are not valuable in Hong Kong. But they are rare goods in China. As for watches, he also brought some, but watches are not good for children who are too young.

When he arrived at Luo Yan's place, the living environment was also tight. It was a brick house in a small alley. Luo Yan's two sons slept in one room, and her daughter slept in a room with Luo Yan and Wang Ping, which was also simply partitioned.

Luo Yan's children were also well-educated, especially the eldest son Wang Bo, who turned out to be a good student. Luo Cheng had already learned about the four children born by Zhao Qian at the street office. They were educated, but not particularly promising.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng was good at sowing seeds. With more children, there would always be one or two outstanding children. The son born to him by Hong Xiu was doing well in Hong Kong, and he would have face if he told others about it.

I just don't know how the son and daughter born to him by Zheng Ke are. Did they inherit his father who has little education, or his mother who is a spoiled girl by heaven, Zheng Ke.

Luo Cheng gave each of Luo Yan's children an electronic watch, and Luo Cheng gave Luo Yan and her husband two expensive watches. Luo Yan has a watch, which Luo Cheng gave her back then. She takes good care of it, and if it doesn't work, it can be repaired and used again. In this era, it is normal to wear a watch for decades.

When they came to Luo Yan, Luo Cheng and Hong Xiu's children finally had playmates. It was winter now, and it was not fun in the countryside. But there were still some fun things in the city.

The boys played with homemade slingshots, and the girls jumped rubber bands. Spinning tops, playing with sandbags, and even used tires of bicycles were all toys in everyone's hands.

There was one thing in particular that boys of this era loved to play, which was rolling iron rings. Get a U-shaped iron hook and a round iron ring the size of a bicycle tire, and you can go crazy outside for a day.

To be honest, for Luo Yan's children, they were all thirteen or fourteen years old, and some things they didn't like to play with anymore. Playing with slingshots was okay, but Luo Cheng's children had never played rolling iron rings.

Anyway, there was someone to accompany them, setting off firecrackers and playing with some homemade toys, which Luo Cheng's children also found very interesting. For example, rolling hoops may seem childish, but when you play, the fun can only be felt.

Soon it was noon, Wang Ping finished cooking at the machinery factory, said hello to other masters, and left in advance to rush home.

As soon as Wang Ping came back, Luo Cheng took everyone to a big restaurant for dinner. This time, Luo Cheng was not deliberately showing off. In fact, regardless of the size of the restaurant, the chefs who can work in the restaurant these days are all good.

Not only that small restaurants only accept money and food coupons, but large restaurants can use foreign exchange coupons.

Although Wang Ping, Luo Yan, and their children have lived in Changcheng for so many years, this is the first time they have entered such a big restaurant.

When ordering dishes, Hong Xiu asked for such a specialty dish, and didn't care about the price at all. While waiting for the dishes, Hong Xiu asked Luo Yan's family if they wanted to go to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, Hong Xiu also knew some wealthy friends. But there may be only one or two close friends. It is lucky to have a friend who knows everything without any suspicion.

So Hong Xiu is particularly eager for Luo Yan to go to Hong Kong, so that she can have a companion wherever she goes.

This topic was raised again, and the one who really made the choice was Wang Ping. But let alone going abroad, Wang Ping, who has never left Ganzhou in his life, is really difficult to choose if he wants to leave his hometown. More than ten years ago, when Luo Cheng was still the section chief in the factory, he was very capable. After more than ten years of disappearance, the clothes and momentum of Luo Cheng's family are now.

Without thinking too much, everyone can see that Luo Cheng and his family are very rich now. If they are willing to invite them to Hong Kong, they will definitely not treat them badly. But this hometown sentiment, and there are many relatives here, it is really difficult to choose.

"Hongxiu, there is no need to mention this matter. If they want to go to Hong Kong in the future, or if the nephew and niece want to go to Hong Kong, just take them there when the time comes. In Changcheng, Yan Zi and her brother-in-law will work temporarily. Isn't the brother-in-law now a chef in the factory cafeteria? When the time comes, open a big hotel in Changcheng. Yan Zi, you will come with Wang Ping when the time comes. I will give you half of the hotel's income when the time comes."

Luo Cheng has seen that Wang Ping is not very willing to go to Hong Kong, and he may agree to go to Hong Kong because of Luo Yan. But Luo Cheng thinks it is unnecessary. People of their generation have a little feeling of being reluctant to leave their hometown.

So there is no need to force Wang Ping and Luo Yan, but if their children have any ideas in the future, he, as an uncle, will definitely help them.

Luo Yan's children are still young, and the oldest is only 14 years old. When they heard what their uncle Luo Cheng said, they didn't have any scheming to rely on Luo Cheng to get rich. But when they heard that they could go to Hong Kong, they wanted to see it and have fun in Hong Kong.

Luo Cheng didn't want to say too much about Luo Yan's care at the moment, because there is a long time in the future.

When the dishes were served, Luo Cheng asked about the specific situation of Zhao Qian's family. After hearing Luo Cheng's question, Luo Yan realized that Luo Cheng had not yet found Zhao Qian's sister-in-law.

Seeing Luo Yan's surprised expression, Luo Cheng also confessed with some embarrassment that it was not Hong Xiu's side, but also Hong Xiu's children. And not only Hong Xiu's side, he also told Luo Yan directly that when he didn't escape, he was also with a woman in Jiangcheng, and there were two children there.

Now I'm looking for Luo Yan first, just to let her find Zhao Qian first and let her find out the bottom. Trying to joke about the fact that Hongxiu and Luo Cheng are together, and that there is also a woman and a child in another city. Then we'll see how Zhao Qian reacts. In fact, even if she finds it hard to accept, Luo Yan's presence will provide a buffer.

In fact, if Luo Yan is not around, Luo Cheng will go to Zhao Qian first. It is impossible that he will not meet Zhao Qian and her children just because he has more women and children.

After dinner, Luo Cheng was not in the mood to keep reminiscing with his sister Luo Yan. He asked Luo Yan to pack the remaining dishes into two portions, one for her family as dinner. For the other portion, he even ordered some fried cakes for the big meal, and asked Luo Yan to go to Xikou Hutong at noon.

As for his brother-in-law Wang Ping, Luo Cheng asked about the situation of Master He, the chef who taught him to cook. According to the domestic retirement age, Master He should have retired, but he has only been retired for a short time. If he is still strong, he can be invited to come to the hotel to be a master chef. In fact, Master He's level was not worse than the chef at the meal.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Luo Yan went to Xikou Hutong to find Zhao Qian's sister-in-law. Along the way, she thought of many things to say for her brother. Her brother Luo Cheng fled to Hong Kong. Even if he was not with Hong Xiu, a grown man who had not had a woman for more than ten years would be very depressed.

As for the women and children in Jiangcheng, Zhao Qian's sister-in-law should also think more open-mindedly. In the past ten years, many men returned to the city because of going to the countryside, and they still had wives and children in the countryside.

Although Luo Yan's words were very good, she was still uneasy. If her man Wang Ping dared to have a woman and children outside, she would never let Wang Ping go.

"Hello, auntie, mom, auntie is here."

"Oh, it's Yan Zi. At this time, Yan Zi, you are resting today."

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Zhong, look what good things auntie brought you. This is the food of our Changcheng Baolong Hotel. It tastes great."

"Baolong Hotel~~."

"Sister-in-law, can you come out for a while? I have something to tell you."

"Okay."

Bringing so many dishes from Baolong Restaurant, and it's so cold, and she still has to call her out to talk. Only Luo Yun and Luo Zhong were in the room. Zhao Qian was not stupid and felt that something was wrong with Luo Yan today.

After following Luo Yan out, Luo Yan stopped at the corner outside the kitchen. It was cold outside and there was no one in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you something about my brother Luo Cheng. He used to go on business trips to Jiangcheng frequently. It seems that he found a woman there and gave birth to two children for my brother."

"Yanzi, who did you hear this from? It shouldn't be just "seemingly". Did someone there find you? If it's really the woman your brother messed around with and the child is his, if life is difficult, I still have some money here, I can give them some."

"Sister-in-law, aren't you angry? It was my brother who messed around outside back then."

"What's the point of being angry? But if it's really your brother who messed around, it's also us who hurt him. If he's a woman raising a child, it's really not easy for him to do it all these years. As long as it's really your brother's child, just give some money to help him."

After hearing Luo Yan's words, Zhao Qian was silent for a while before responding. Zhao Qian knew Luo Yan, she wouldn't deliberately tell her this with something that didn't make sense.

Zhao Qian guessed that this should be the woman over there who brought the child here, and it's very likely that she couldn't support herself because of the difficult life. If life was good, there was no need to come here.

And Luo Cheng is gone. As long as it is really Luo Cheng's child, it's okay for her to take care of him.

"Sister-in-law, when Hongxiu disappeared, could it be that she ran away with her brother and lived with him?"

"Your brother has been gone for more than ten years. Even if Hongxiu left with your brother, I'm afraid she met with the same accident as your brother. I always believe in your brother. If he is alive, it is impossible for him not to come to see us for so many years. Even if he has other women outside and is cruel to not see me, there are still four children."

"Sister-in-law, do you think it is possible that my brother does not want to see you, but he fled directly abroad that year and was not in the country at all, so even if he wanted to come back, he couldn't come back."

Luo Yan's words shocked Zhao Qian's heart. For so many years, she really hadn't thought of such a possibility. Because many criminals in the country, if they escape, at most they will hide in remote places and deep mountains and forests.

Especially in the countryside, if someone fights, they will accidentally lose their hands or something. Those people are afraid of being caught. They want to escape in their hearts, but they don't know how to escape at all. Most of them hide in the mountains. Therefore, it is easy to catch criminals these days, but it will be very difficult to catch those who dare to escape to other cities.

Communications are not well developed, and people who escape to other provinces will find it difficult to catch them. People who escape to foreign countries may not dare to think about it, let alone people like Zhao Qian who are law-abiding.

Zhao Qian looked at Luo Yan. She didn't think of this, but her sister-in-law would think of it? Even if it was just a guess, if she had put forward such a guess earlier, she would not have completely lost the idea. In any case, at least there was an expectation.

"Sister-in-law, come with me, I will take you to a place."

Luo Yan felt that some things did not need to be said more, and felt that there should be no problem with her sister-in-law. Even if there were complaints, there would not be too intense reactions.

Zhao Qian followed Luo Yan, and she guessed something in her heart. She just followed her, and did not dare to ask what she guessed, for fear that Luo Yan would tell her something she didn't guess.
