After the Lantern Festival in the first month of the lunar year, it was the day when Zhang Guoqing and his family set off.
Unlike previous years, this time Zhang's mother saw them off with a smile on her face. In her words, it is not advisable to shed tears in the first month of the lunar year, as it will bring bad luck.
Whether she was superstitious or had become accustomed to separations, Zhang Guoqing felt much better knowing that his mother said goodbye to him with a smile.
Waving goodbye to his parents and brothers who saw him off to the car, Zhang Guoqing knew that in a few years he would not be able to return, but fortunately his parents were in good health.
On the day we arrived in the capital, Aunt Chen prepared a sumptuous dinner.
The table was filled with pork rib soup, stir-fried lung slices, braised pork, etc. She wanted to cook all the supplies during this period.
Maybe it was because he had been trapped in Beijing for too long, but when Zhang Guoqing got off the train and stepped onto this land, he actually felt a sense of relief as if he was finally home.
He glanced at his three sons, and sure enough, he wasn't the only one with this misconception. His three Ping'an brothers were clearly smiling.
Oh, it’s not easy for his second son to smile in public, and it also shows how happy the child is.
Now that they were back, they naturally had to visit that naughty old man, Dr. Hu, the old naughty boy, before going to work tomorrow.
The next day, after the couple went back to work, the aftereffects of the long vacation began to set in.
Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao were too busy with work to take their three sons to school. They were lazy for a while and felt a little uncomfortable at first.
But life must go on, and we have to live our lives as usual.
After Zhou Xiaozheng finished his visit and returned home with his wife, he still saw them busy, but as it did not interfere with their normal rest, he did not remind them too much because he was even busier.
During this period, Miao Tianming, who was abroad, sent several letters one after another. The letters were nothing more than ordinary greetings. Seeing that he did not mention investment matters, Zhou Jiao felt a lot more at ease.
From an investment perspective, it would be wrong to keep such a large sum of money in a bank. But Zhou Jiao thought about it a lot and decided to wait a little longer.
Firstly, with the foreign financial information sent by Miao Tianming, many major events that she had overlooked began to become clearer, and she had to think more about them.
Secondly, it takes time. Only over time can a person's bottom line be tested. If possible, she would even go abroad.
Before meeting the head of the Miao family, even if Zhou Jiao believed in Miao Tianming, she didn't dare to trust anyone in the Miao family.
For a big family, for the Miao family who can survive well abroad, she does not believe that interests are more important than family affection. Besides, how can there be any family affection between her and the Miao family?
Tens of millions wouldn't be tempting, but what about tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions?
Now that the Miao family was keeping goodwill towards her, Zhou Jiao didn't dare to act rashly. She just wanted to stay put and wait for the Miao family's reaction.
She waited and waited for more than half a year, until New Year's Day in 1982, when she finally saw Miao Tianming, with whom she had an appointment to return to China the following year.
"Sister, I can finally see you."
Time is truly the best witness!
Zhou Jiao looked at Miao Tianming who was still treating her the same as before, and suddenly burst into joyful laughter. Miao Tianming, whose eyes were red in front of her, also smiled foolishly.
"Sister, you are still the same."
"Silly boy, you might as well say your sister has become a witch?" Zhou Jiao looked him up and down. "Yes, you can tell at first glance that you've transformed into a real man."
Miao Tianming, who was jokingly called "unmoved by pressure" by his family abroad, rubbed the back of his head shyly. "Really? I still have a lot to learn."
Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile, then took over and pulled him to sit on the sofa. "How long can you stay this time?"
"I have to leave in a week." Miao Tianming looked at her with regret, "Sister, this is also the New Year abroad, so I can only come back once."
Zhou Jiao knew he had no official business when he heard this, so she smiled at him reassuringly, "When there's a chance, you can come back to invest in China in the future. You won't have to worry about not having time."
"Oh? So, the situation in China will get better and better in the future?"
Zhou Jiao glanced at him sideways. "You've become quite clever. Just wait and see. Our country will only get better and better. Are you used to living abroad now?"
"It's much better than just now." Miao Tianming nodded and smiled. "If my dad had been with me and my brothers had been dragging me around, I would have almost bought a ticket back home..."
Listening to him begin to talk about his daily life when he first went abroad, it seemed more vivid than the few words in the letter. Even though he only reported good news and not bad news, Zhou Jiao could understand how difficult it was for him.
The status of Chinese people abroad, especially in developed and powerful countries, is that even if they are naturalized, they are still second-class citizens. No matter how rich they are, even a poor nobleman is worth a lot of money.
Zhou Jiao accompanied him quietly, listening to his story about his study in a foreign country, and then listening to his situation in recent years. She soon discovered that this boy actually didn't have a partner!
After finally waiting for him to finish his rambling, Zhou Jiao offered him a glass of water and asked, "Are you too busy to find a partner?"
With a "Puff", Miao Tianming quickly turned his head and spit out a mouthful of water. After cleaning it with a handkerchief, he looked at Zhou Jiao with amusement, "Sister, it's been several years, and you haven't forgotten to find a wife for me?"
"Don't you see that you are already an old bachelor?"
Miao Tianming's mouth twitched when he heard this. Could he really say he was a bachelor abroad? He could take off that hat as soon as he opened his mouth!
"What does your father think? You're the only one heir, and if you don't start a family soon, he doesn't want to be a grandfather? Does he have an illegitimate child outside?"
Miao Tianming burst into laughter. Seeing that she was about to explode, he quickly stopped laughing and replied, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely get married next year."
Zhou Jiao looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"
"I'm not lying! My dad said it doesn't matter who I marry, as long as they're Chinese. Think about it, isn't that easy? Seeing how old he is, it's not going to be easy, so I decided to listen to him."
Zhou Jiao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. That's right!
After talking about all this, the two of them finally got to the point.
Miao Tianming is still obsessed with the funds in his hands. What will happen to them?
Zhou Jiao had just heard that apart from the three uncles and Miao Tianming, the eldest grandson of the Miao family, including Miao Tiancheng, who now controls the assets of the first house, did not know her.
Moreover, from the very beginning, all of her funds were handled by Miao Tianming himself. Not to mention her funds, even the family wealth of his own family had long been divided with the other two families, which did remove some of her hesitations about the Miao family.
She no longer believed in the Miao family, but she believed in Miao Tianming in front of her.
Come to think of it, since the family business has been divided, who would let others interfere in their own business? Especially since Uncle Miao only has one son, it is impossible for him not to be on guard against his nephews.
