Chapter 593 North and South

After the lunch party, Yang Ying gave holiday red envelopes to all the servants in the house and gave them half a day off.

As soon as Xiaoya got home, she went straight to her room to lie down and rest. However, before she had laid down for a while, her mother, who had just returned from the market, pulled her up.

"Let me ask you, have you been working hard during this period? Have you been thinking of any evil ideas?"

Xiaoya straightened her collar that was pulled crooked by her mother, "What are you talking about? What crooked ideas can I have?"

"Don't play dumb with me, and hide your evil intentions from me.

I asked Sister Mei to send you to work, and I helped you take the blame last time.

If you have any evil thoughts again, I will beat you to death."

Xiaoya looked impatient and said, "Oh, okay, please stop talking about it. You keep nagging about things that happened a few months ago.

If I had known I would have to listen to your scolding, I would not have come back. "

Xiaoya's mother hated her for not living up to her expectations and kept thinking about what happened before.

Children are a debt to their parents. I don’t know who Xiaoya takes after, but she has high aspirations and dares to do anything.

For some money, you can make dew that replaces the one used by the master to make medicine.

If Sister Mei hadn't discovered it in advance and prevented a disaster, their whole family would have had to go to jail.

The young master of the Zhong family let Xiaoya go and did not pursue the matter.

He just asked her to make the dinner she prepared for the Yang family a little saltier for two days in a row.

Xiaoya’s mother is the cook in the Yang family’s old house and has worked in the Yang family for more than twenty years.

In order to avoid being noticed, the dishes prepared during those two days were all heavily-flavored stews with fruit juice and cold drinks.

Xiaoya's mother didn't know what the young master of the Zhong family meant, but she agreed because he just asked her to add more salt and nothing would happen.

Although it happened several months ago, she still felt that it was not that simple.

Oh... I hope everything is okay.

After Christmas, it also marks the end of the year.

Time passed quickly and it was January 1979.

The Hong Kong stock market was in turmoil, the economy was booming, and a large number of personnel in various departments and offices were replaced, and some even fled early with their families.

With 7X2K's transformation taking the lead.

The other two major local gangs also began to transform, and various industries such as funeral industry, real estate development, film and entertainment, etc. flourished.

What attracts the most attention is the rise of erotic films.

You can buy tickets to watch it at any major cinema.

Lin Yiyi used to not understand why erotic films with excessive language and little material were so popular in the 70s and 80s.

Or maybe it's a gunfight, fighting, and martial arts movie.

Who are the bosses of film companies and investors?

What's your identity background?

It would be strange not to make these films.

Citizens watch for excitement, but in fact it is a memoir of life shot by people who earn a lot of money and kill time.

...

The situation in Hong Kong is on the eve of a bright future, and the north is also experiencing earth-shaking changes.

Far away in the northwest, Lin Jie and his wife Shu Yuqing are working hard to get rid of the bad reputation.

I got the approval document and returned to Beijing before the New Year.

The two-story western-style building that had been sealed off was also returned to Lin Jie, but it had been emptied and nothing was left.

Even though they were penniless, the couple cried tears of joy.

Shu Yuqing leaned on her husband's shoulder and cried loudly, with mixed feelings in her heart, "Lao Lin, we have finally waited for this day, finally waited for it."

"Yes, we have waited for it, we have waited for it..."

Lin Jie patted his wife's back. Even though men don't shed tears easily, he couldn't help it at this moment.

The old couple cried heartily, crying out for all the hardships they had endured over the years.

There was no time to clean up the house, so Lin Jie took his wife to an old friend's house that day.

Xu's mother knew that Lin Jie and his wife had returned to Beijing, but she didn't expect them to come to their house so soon.

She didn't want to open the door, but someone kept shouting outside the yard and she was embarrassed to pretend not to hear.

It's noon now, and it would be embarrassing to be seen by neighbors and relatives when people come and go outside.

Xu's mother walked into the yard and opened the gate, with a smile on her face, "Hey, look who is this?

I said that a magpie coming to your door early in the morning means good things are coming. Professor Lin and Yuqing, please come in."

Although she said that, Xu's mother did not move a step and stood by the gate blocking the way into the yard.

Lin Jie and his wife have been accustomed to the ways of the world over the years and don't care at all whether she is being insincere or fake.

"No need, we are here to find Xu Jianchang and ask him about something. We will leave after a few words."

"If you have anything to say, let's talk inside. It will only attract criticism if you stand outside and talk.

The weather is cold and Jianchang hasn't finished work yet. He won't be back for a while."

What an annoying person who comes to bother her son again. Xu's mother's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Mrs. Zhang is old and a little hard of hearing. I was upstairs and far away so I didn't hear anything. Please don't worry."

As they were talking, a young man on a bicycle approached from a distance.

Xu Jianchang saw two people standing at the door of his house from a distance, but he was not sure who they were.

When he arrived at the gate, he looked around carefully before calling out, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Shu, you guys are back in Beijing.

Please come in, it's freezing outside, let's talk inside."

He greeted people while pushing his bicycle inside.

Xu Jianchang was genuinely happy for the two elders.

Even though Xu's mother did not welcome the two of them, she had to put on a good face. She couldn't continue to block her son's way now that he had returned.

Besides, times are different now.

Now that the Lin family has regained their status and jobs, we will see them every day.

You still have to save face.

She gave a fake smile and called out, "Professor Lin, Yuqing, please come in, don't stand at the door."

After repeated invitations, Lin Jie and his wife could no longer postpone.

He followed her into the yard, then walked up the stairs and into the Xu family's hall.

The Xu family's house and the Lin family's house are both old two-story red brick buildings. The former scholar faction hired architects who had studied abroad to design them.

Solid wood furniture, wooden floors, flush toilets and bathtubs are all available.

The Xu family seemed to be welcoming, but they had no intention of entertaining guests. Lin Jie directly stated his purpose, "Jianchang, I came here to ask you to take the photo and two other things that Yi Yi left with you. Thank you for taking care of them."

Xu Jianchang glanced at Xu's mother and didn't hear his mother asking Zhang Ma to pour tea, so he looked a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Lin, you're too polite. I'll go get it for you. Please wait for me."

Xu Jianchang quickly found the letter that Lin Yiyi had mailed to him, and after making sure that the contents were still there, he quickly went downstairs.

Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Lin Jie took the letter and left with his wife.

The winter sun doesn't have much warmth, and it's eye-catching when it shines on the snow on the roadside.

The old couple returned home, opened the envelope and saw a family photo and two land deeds inside.

It made me sad again.

They left Baiyun Farm and returned to Beijing.

But my daughter's family is thousands of miles away in the south.

I don’t know how Yi Yi’s two little grandchildren, whom she has yet to meet, are doing.

...

Southern port city.

The toy room on the first floor became a small classroom, where Youyou and Mozi learned to read by biting the tip of a pen.

I have studied the three words "Heaven, Earth and Man" for a long time but still don't recognize them.

The eraser and pencil tips are about to be bitten off.

The paper will also be torn to pieces.

Lin Yiyi, who was listening in, almost died of laughter and took out her camera to take several photos of the little one.

...
