"Mom, that medicine worked. I slept well last night and my cold is gone." Xu Jianguo made a gesture that he thought was very stylish, but in the eyes of Old Lady Xu, it was actually stupid: "Behave yourself. You're a grandfather, and you're still so unreliable."

Xu Jianguo stood up straight and said, "Mom, did the doctor prescribe the wrong medicine?"

Old Mrs. Xu: "You read that right, it's kidney medicine. You can't take that medicine."

…

May 1982.

Chenchen used the money he earned to buy a house worth five thousand in Kyoto and a two-acre piece of land nearby.

Xiao Yiyi has made a lot of money from investing in the past few years. She knew that following her big brother would not be wrong, so she also bought a house and land.

Another four.

I also have money, but not as much as the other two. I only bought a house, not land.

Xu Jianguo saw these children spending thousands of yuan at once and sighed, "No, no, no, some people are born in Rome, and some are born as cattle and horses.

I am the ox and horse."

Old Mrs. Xu kicked him out and said, "At that time, the poorer you were, the more glorious you were. Being rich was considered a sin. Even if people were rich, they didn't dare to show it and they lived frugally.

If you can’t speak, seal it up with a needle to avoid any trouble.”

Xu Jianguo jumped up and screamed, "Mom, stop accusing me. I've been in Kyoto for so many years and have never said anything wrong outside.

I am so casual at home because everyone around me is my family.

You don't think I really don't know anything, do you?

Mom, Jia Jia said that you can't look down on anyone, but you can't look down on me!"

Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was gasping for breath. Forget it, it was her own child, so she had to bear it!

Little Yiyi ran over and saw that Old Lady Xu looked unhappy. She looked up at Xu Jianguo and said in a baby voice, "Master, have you made Grandma angry again?"

Xu Jianguo firmly denied it: "No, I am such a filial person, how could I possibly make your grandfather angry!"

Little Yiyi tilted her head, not quite believing it, but she was a sensible little baby. Even if she didn't believe it, she wouldn't question her elders. She said "oh", took Old Lady Xu's hand, and rocked it gently: "Grandma, don't be angry. When you grow up, Xiao Yiyi will raise you."

Old Mrs. Xu was amused by the little girl and laughed: "Okay, okay, Grandpa will wait for Xiao Yiyi to raise her."

…

Spring 1983.

Xu Jiajia's three cousins each bought a house in Shenzhen.

They are honest and hardworking.

I can basically get more than a thousand yuan a month.

In a year, it’s more than ten thousand.

Haiyan is three times as big as the three of them.

She used the money she earned to buy a three-acre piece of land.

She plans to build her own house.

The first floor is used as a storefront.

The rest are rented out.

When she is old and can no longer work, lying in bed, she will still make money.

"What? Three acres of land, and you built all of it?" He Tao was shocked. One acre is more than 600 square meters, and three acres is almost 2,000 square meters. How big a house would it take to build that?

Haiyan nodded: "Well, Pengcheng will develop better and better, and more and more people will come here to work. With more people, there will be many people looking to rent houses, and then we can rent them out.

It's so nice to lie in bed and count money."

The three brothers were very moved when they heard this.

The eldest, He Tao, exchanged glances with the other two, then found time to call Xu Jiajia: "Hello, I'm He Tao."

It was Old Lady Xu who answered the phone: "Ah, Taozi, are you looking for your grandma? She's at the factory and isn't here right now. Can you call back in the evening?"

He Tao explained: "I'm not looking for grandma, I'm looking for Jia Jia, is she at home?"

"She's not here either. She won't be back until tomorrow. What do you want to see her about?"

He Tao thought that the old lady had been with Xu Jiajia for so long, she must have heard what she said, so he said, "It's like this, the three of us brothers want to sell the old house we bought and build a new one. Do you think it's necessary?"

Mrs. Xu asked, "How big is that house?"

"It's over 200 square meters, with a yard and a vegetable patch, so it's 300 square meters in total."

“Let’s push it forward and build six floors. We can rent it out later. Did you buy the property on the roadside?

If it is on the side of the road, it can be used as a storefront.

Jiajia also bought some land there, and she plans to build a house there.”

He Tao felt more relieved after hearing this: "Okay, then I'll talk to the second and third brothers."

"Are you short of money? If you need money, I'll talk to your grandma. If you do anything, she will definitely lend it to you."

He Tao shook his head: "No, I still have money saved up."

Even if it's less.

There is money coming in every month, so there is nothing to worry about.

Hang up the phone.

He Tao returned home and told his second and third sons what the old lady had said.

He Xi slapped his thigh and said, "Then push it back and build it again."

He Jie followed the boss and said, "I'll push too."

…

afternoon.

Old Mrs. Xu told Grandma He about He Tao’s phone call.

After listening to this, she smiled and said, "Seeing that they are doing so well, I feel relieved."

Old Mrs. Xu thought of something and chuckled, "Your situation is exactly the same as mine. Your three sons are not cut out for business, and my third son is the same. Fortunately, he has me and Jiajia, otherwise he wouldn't have such good conditions!"

Grandma He also laughed: "Yes, the eldest son can't do it, but his three sons can. The second and third sons can't do it, but their wives can.

"To earn over 2,000 yuan a month is a high salary."

Xu Jiajia's two aunts came to Kyoto in September 1981.

He Zhiyong, the second son of my third aunt, took several attempts and was finally admitted to university.

However, it is not a university in Kyoto, but a university in the province.

The third child, He Zhixing, applied to Kyoto University.

Since all the children in the family passed the exam, my two aunts naturally came to Kyoto to develop their careers.

…

September 1983.

This day.

Eight-year-old Yiyi came out of the bathroom.

A middle school boy looked at Yiyi in a rude manner and said, "Little boy, take out all the money you have."

Yiyi stared at the boy, somewhat incredulous: "You don't know me?"

Among the six of them, who are so famous in school, there are still people who don’t know her.

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I know you? Little girl, I'm asking you for money. Be smart and hand it over, otherwise, I'll beat you up."

The boy pretended to be fierce, trying to scare Yiyi.

However.

How could he know that Yiyi had been practicing military boxing with Shen Yuebai since she was a child, and dealing with one or two people was as easy as drinking water for her.

She took a step closer to the boy, stepped on his collar, and patted his face like a little gangster: "Boy, before you rob me, go ask who I am!"
