Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three years have passed and it is 1991.
It was early summer and the children had just had their summer vacation.
Congcong was enjoying playing games on his Subor game console in the living room. Next to him, Anan, who was about to enter the first grade of elementary school, was looking down at some comic book.
Congcong is already fifteen years old this year. He is 1.8 meters tall and looks tall and handsome. If he goes out and fools people by saying that he is a college student, people will believe him.
An An was wearing a knee-length short-sleeved dress and a ponytail. You could tell from her eyes and eyebrows that she was a little beauty.
Unlike when she was a child and was always chubby, An An is now quite thin, but still within the healthy range.
Their house has air conditioning installed, so even though the temperature outside is over 30 degrees Celsius, it is not hot at all in the house.
The door was pushed open and Linglong walked in.
"Mom, you're back." An An put down the comic book.
Congcong was at the critical moment, and after just a "Mom" sound, he focused on the TV screen.
After glancing at her son playing games, Linglong stopped nagging and looked at her daughter.
"What are you having for lunch today?"
"Auntie said we should have noodles with soybean paste, cold noodles, smashed cucumber, and cold-mixed pork head. There's freshly made mung bean soup in the refrigerator." An An reported very quickly.
"Just listening to this makes me hungry." Linglong smiled and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Last year they tidied up their house a little, made some changes inside the house, and added more common appliances and furniture.
When their family first moved into this yard, although she had earned some money, she was not very rich at that time. Even if she had some daily necessities, she had not produced any products at that time, or she had no way to obtain them.
This time I am renovating my house, and many of the things are high-priced imported goods that are not available in China.
The purpose of making money is to make life more comfortable, and Linglong doesn't feel bad about the renovation.
Zhong Jiang is now a group, and its businesses are expanding rapidly.
Since 1988, prices of all kinds have skyrocketed. Later, the country set price barriers. Until this year, the momentum of price increases has not been completely curbed.
Similarly, in recent years, more and more people have gone into business, and a group of powerful entrepreneurs have emerged.
Linglong Zhong Jiang is very low-key.
Linglong knew that real estate was very profitable. Zhong Jiang also had a real estate subsidiary company. It had not only developed several housing projects, some of which had been completed and some were still under construction, but also large-scale commercial projects such as shopping malls and supermarkets.
With so much business, it's natural to make a lot of money.
No matter how low-key she is, people in Beijing circles know that she is worth a lot of money.
In addition to Zhong Jiang, her mother's Wei Group also gradually transferred a lot of business to her to handle.
Linglong is very busy while working for the Wei family.
So far, she has a dedicated team of personal assistants, company secretaries, drivers, and other miscellaneous staff.
With more helpers, she is not so busy. At least when there are no important projects, she can go to get off work and come home normally, and occasionally she can take a break and rest at home.
The two children, Congcong and Anan, have not caused Linglong too much worry in recent years.
Congcong has strong self-control and has plans for everything. She and her husband don't have to worry about her studies. She can arrange her own homework, reading, and relaxing when she gets home.
An An was quite naughty when she was in kindergarten, but that was within the normal range of naughtiness for a little girl. After she entered elementary school, she became much quieter.
With Congcong, their brother, taking care of An'an on a daily basis, Linglong and Zheng Tiansen don't have to worry about An'an's studies and homework.
The pager in her bag suddenly rang. Linglong took it out, looked at it, walked to the phone and picked it up.
In fact, some people already use mobile phones, but Linglong thinks that thing is too heavy and doesn't like to carry it with her. She has one too, but it is always thrown in the car or somewhere else.
On weekdays, she still likes to carry a pager with her, so that if someone wants to talk to her urgently, at least she can see it and not be delayed.
Maybe many bosses regard mobile phones as a status symbol. They feel proud when they take them out and do not mind that the mobile phones are large and bulky.
But Linglong no longer needs to show her status in this way.
She is standing there now, representing her identity.
In the past, Linglong was simply rich, but she didn't really understand how rich people enjoyed themselves, even though she had a lot of experience in film and television dramas.
But after being influenced by her mother Wei Qingyin for several years, she had already learned it.
In the past few years, she has followed her mother to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has gained a lot of knowledge about consumption, shopping, and beauty.
The capital has also developed rapidly in recent years, with high-end clubs and beauty salons now available.
Even though she is in Beijing, she can still enjoy many different services.
Following her mother, she learned what low-key luxury is, as well as what is the true heritage and bearing of a noble family.
Even if she were standing there in the most ordinary clothes, others would be able to tell at a glance that she was not an ordinary person, as her every move was different.
After finishing the call, Zheng Tiansen also opened the door.
"You have a sharp nose today and you even rushed back to eat." Linglong joked.
"Of course, what do we eat at home?"
"Let your daughter tell you." Linglong went to get something.
Congcong finished his game and put away his things.
Zheng Tiansen lived not far away, but he did not go home for dinner on time every day. If he did, he would eat in the cafeteria.
Linglong's family has tried all kinds of delicious food. Under the leadership of Wei Qingyin, they have eaten expensive ingredients from many countries. Now, their daily meals at home are just ordinary meals, which are at most slightly more sumptuous than those of ordinary families in Beijing.
That is, we only eat more grandly during festivals, or when someone treats us or there is something to celebrate.
By the time they all reached the dining room, the meal was already on the table.
"Eat quickly, the noodles have just been taken out. If you eat slowly, they will clump together."
The noodles are also served with side dishes such as shredded cucumber.
Everyone stirred the noodles in their own bowls, and soon the sound of slurping noodles could be heard.
Congcong now eats more than his father Zheng Tiansen.
Zheng Tiansen can eat two bowls of noodles with soybean paste, and Congcong can eat three bowls, and they don’t feel full at all after eating.
When eating, the family likes to communicate.
"Congcong, An'an, it's summer vacation now. Have you thought about where to go for fun?"
"No."
"Mom, can I go abroad to play?" An An's eyes immediately lit up.
"Going abroad?" Linglong hesitated and looked at her son. "Congcong, you're going to high school this year, so you can have fun during the summer vacation. But next year, when you're in your third year of high school, the vacation will be shorter, so you won't be able to travel far. You must be missing him."
An An knew that this time she would most likely have to follow her brother's opinion on where to go, so she kept winking at her brother.
Linglong and Zheng Tiansen both saw their daughter's little action and didn't say anything, but they were both laughing.
Congcong is hesitating whether to fulfill his sister's wish.
The phone at home rang.
Linglong let them think about it and went to answer the phone. After listening to a few words, her face became serious.
