Zhao Liming is 34 years old and Yan Haixia is 30 years old. They already have four children.
The last time Lian Xiaomin saw them was in June 1974, when she brought Zhang Yuan back with her.
At that time, they had only two sons, one was less than two years old and the other was only a few months old, both were chubby and very cute.
Six years have passed, and this time I saw them, there were two more children, both lovely little girls.
The third child is called Tiantian, she is three years old, and the fourth child is called Nuannuan, she is one year old.
I brought my two sons and two daughters here today and had them play with Yan Ruogu and Sun Wenhui’s two sons. The house was full of children.
Lian Xiaomin and Lu Guanjie looked at this and that, and they both concluded that the Yan family had very good genes, and they were all "handsome men and beautiful women" with extremely high looks.
Yan Haixia said, "Xiaomin, didn't you two take a look in the mirror? Who has the better appearance?"
"...Haha, your children will definitely be extremely beautiful babies! How about it, how many will you have?"
Lian Xiaomin covered her mouth and smiled: "Haixia, thank you for your flattery. To be honest, your flattery was in vain... We don't even have a baby yet!"
Everyone was stunned and Zhao Liming gave a thumbs up.
He just asked Lawrence Lu’s age. He was one year older than him, 35, although you couldn’t tell.
In reality, he definitely looks like Yan Ruogu, about 27 or 28 years old.
"Brother Lu, you are four kids behind me. It will be very difficult for you to catch up, haha."
Lian Xiaomin was holding three-year-old Tiantian and pinching her apple-like little face. When she heard this, she looked at Zhao Liming.
"Hey, Brother Limin, who was responsible for your marrying a fairy? I can't quite remember, can you remind me?"
Zhao Liming laughed and patted Lu Guanjie on the shoulder.
"It's my dear friend Lian Xiaomin, your wife, Lian Xiaomin, the Lian Xiaomin that our family put up on a piece of wood and wanted to worship!"
"...My benefactor, are you satisfied if I kowtow to you?"
Everyone was so happy that Lian Xiaomin even raised her chin.
"Of course. Without me, would you have these four children? And you can't get married, too."
"...It's very likely that you don't have a baby yet, just like us, so don't compare yourself to others."
Everyone laughed and continued to talk about what had happened in the past few years, especially how their family moved back to Shanghai, which was not easy.
Li Shuxian took the little ones who were running around in the living room upstairs and asked them to play with building blocks, with the older ones leading the younger ones to play together.
The eight-year-old Xiaobao became the little brother and took care of the youngest.
Yan Haixia made tea for everyone, but Lian Xiaomin didn't drink it. She didn't tell anyone that she was pregnant.
She took out several bottles of red wine that she brought for everyone, as well as some Coke, orange juice and other drinks.
This time I brought a lot of things from Hong Kong, including gifts for people, so I brought Liang Yulan, Xiao He and Achao with me to help carry the things.
Today, Xiao He drove the two of them here and then went back to the Oriental Hotel in Shanghai.
Lian Xiaomin told the three of them to wander around today and just come to pick someone up around eight o'clock in the evening.
Lawrence Lu knew that Amin couldn’t drink tea, so he poured her a glass of orange juice.
I poured some red wine for other friends and myself, and we all tasted it together.
"Brother Limin, Haixia, do you live far from here?"
Yan Haixia said: "It's not far. Ruogu's previous job was transferred to me. I changed my position and became a warehouse manager."
"Zhao Limin was in the Shanghai Transport Team, so we lived in the staff quarters of his unit, which were about the same size as the ones we had in Jianye County before."
The earliest commercial housing in China appeared in Shanghai and Guangzhou. 1979 was the beginning, and the commercial housing policy was officially introduced in 1980.
Moreover, the price increases very quickly.
It may be around 200 yuan per square meter at the beginning of the year, and it will more than double by the end of the year.
Lian Xiaomin remembered that she had another friend, Tan Rushong, so she gave him some money and asked him to return to Shanghai to buy a house, but she didn't know whether he bought it.
"Haixia, do you know that there are commercial houses now? The kind that can be bought and sold?"
When Zhao Limin heard this, he rushed to say, "Xiaomin, you are indeed from Hong Kong. You have a good vision. We also have this plan, but it is too expensive. Let's wait a few years before we decide."
"The children are too young now, and it's not easy for us, both of us working, to raise these four little ones."
After all, he came to Shanghai from a small county in the northeast. The environment had changed completely and he no longer had the connections and background he had in the past. His life was actually very stressful.
Although Yan Cheng'an has resumed work, he is an upright and honest person. Apart from transferring his son-in-law's job so that the family can be reunited, he does not have any special ability to make money.
Especially since we have a son and two little grandsons, and Yan Ruogu is in college, it is not easy for the family to lose a salary.
For the sake of Yan Haixia, Zhao Liming gave up everything in Jianye County and came to Shanghai, a place he was unfamiliar with. This actually took a lot of courage.
Lian Xiaomin naturally knew his difficulties.
However, with a Hong Kong tycoon like me around, are these problems a problem?
"Brother Limin, Haixia, we have nothing to do today, and you all have asked for leave, so how about we go check out the house after lunch?"
Lu Guanjie smiled. His wife loved buying houses. She loved them so much that she wanted to buy one in Shanghai.
Yan Haixia has always been Xiaomin's most loyal soldier. She agrees to whatever she says. Let's eat first and talk about it. We can go wherever she wants.
It was time for lunch. The six children were taken care of by the six adults in their family. The meal was prepared by Li Shuxian and her daughter-in-law. There were eight dishes that were delicious and tasty.
Yan Ruogu's wife Sun Wenhui is not only gentle and lovely, but also has top-notch cooking skills. With this chef around, Yan Haixia had no chance to show her talents today.
But there are plenty of opportunities. She has taken three days off and will continue to cook for Xiaomin next meal!
Lian Xiaomin asked Sun Wenhui where she worked. She looked like an educated woman and it was impossible for her to just stay at home to take care of the children.
Sun Wenhui smiled. She is 25 years old and has also been admitted to university. She took the college entrance examination just after giving birth to her second child last year. Now she is a freshman at Shanghai University.
No wonder, he is full of bookishness~
Lian Xiaomin really admires the college students of this generation. Even after having children, they can still study so hard to get into college and change their own destiny. It is not easy.
Ahui and Yan Ruogu both cherish the opportunity to study very much, and they are also grateful to their parents for taking turns to take care of their two young children.
