Chapter 218 Anticipation of Returning to My Hometown



In Li Huai's view, Li Wei lacked all the qualities of a businessman.

A person with vision, courage, and intelligence, if given some luck and opportunity, can make a lot of money.

If a person possesses even one or two of these qualities, they can become wealthy.

Even if none of these are available, hard work and perseverance will at least prevent one from starving to death.

But what about Li Wei? Is he the kind of person who can endure hardship and is content to just do small business to earn enough to make a living?

People are greedy and lack the ability to make money. Unless they are the son of God, Li Huai thinks that expecting them to make a lot of money is like the sun rising in the west.

Since he doesn't think it's going to work, he naturally won't interfere. He'll just wait and see how it turns out and how ridiculous it will be.

Li Zhenhua is busy with work every day and doesn't like going home, so he really has no idea what his wife and children are up to.

Li Huai told his wife about it as a joke.

Zhao Qinglan had never met Li Wei, but she trusted her husband.

If Li Wei is really the kind of person her husband describes, unless she gets lucky and makes a fortune through lottery tickets or stocks, she really won't amount to much in business.

When this was mentioned, she also thought of stocks.

In what year were the earliest stocks issued in China?

She only remembered hearing people discussing that the earliest stocks, no matter which one she bought, were guaranteed to make a profit.

However, back then, stocks were a new thing, and many people didn't believe in them, so they couldn't sell their shares.

When everyone later discovered that this stuff was profitable and flocked to it, the stock market began to plummet.

However, stocks probably haven't been introduced yet, since the reform and opening up had only just begun. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Qinglan stopped thinking about it.

She thought that if she had the chance, she could buy a few stocks in the future; otherwise, it would be fine.

She's not good at this; it's more cost-effective for her to stock up on houses and shops.

During the National Day holiday in October, the entire regiment was under martial law.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and various activities are being held to celebrate.

Despite the martial law being in effect, there were still celebratory activities within the unit.

Zhao Qinglan and other military spouses and their families also participated.

What celebration would be complete without entertainment?

There were choral performances, recitations, and dances by girls from a performing arts troupe.

Everyone, adults and children alike, was very happy; it was a joyous holiday.

The National Day celebrations are much more lively in the capital.

When Sun Yat-sen called home, he recounted how the streets of Beijing were packed with people, all celebrating.

The meeting last year corrected past mistakes and gave many people hope for the future.

As people see their lives getting better and better, they are genuinely happy.

The festive spirit lingered for several days after the National Day holiday.

Because he was concerned about the progress of Li Wei's business, Zhang Yu had been paying more attention to Huimin and her son lately.

Upon closer inspection, he also noticed something strange.

“It’s true, it seems like someone has been following them.”

Could it be that Yu Huimin and her son have become enemies at some unknown time?

After thinking for a while, Li Huai gave his instructions.

"Just pretend you know nothing." Who knows what kind of wicked things that mother and son have done this time? It's their own fault for being targeted and retaliated against. He'd be happy about it, so why would he remind them?

Actually, Zhang Yu was just casually talking to him and didn't intend to get involved.

Li Huai had previously taken his wife's advice and mentioned to Zhang Yu that if he was really interested in doing business, he would have to quit his job sooner or later.

Anyway, I'll definitely have to choose one of the two.

Zhang Yu still prefers to do business with more freedom, and these days he has also experienced the joy of making money.

However, his family naturally hoped that he would develop his career in politics.

He's still struggling with this because he hasn't confronted his family about the situation yet.

However, there's one thing Zhang Yu isn't bothered by at all.

Previously, Li Huai had asked him to help him buy a house for his wife.

Zhang Yu made money, but because he was careful about the impact and couldn't let his family know too much, he couldn't spend it extravagantly. So, seeing Li Huai buying a house, he thought it was a good idea and bought one too.

He had been quite envious of Li Huai's own little courtyard.

This time, he also bought a place, and after it was cleaned up, it became his secret base outside.

He doesn't want to go home anymore. Sometimes he tells his mother that he lives at his workplace, but in reality, he goes to his own little courtyard to enjoy himself.

Li Huai mentioned that he might come back for the Chinese New Year, and Zhang Yu was extremely looking forward to it.

He really wanted to sit down and have a good talk with his friend.

Because Li Huai didn't want to tell Zhang Yu about some things concerning his wife, he always told Zhang Yu what he thought of himself.

Zhang Yu felt that his friend had a good eye for business and some unique perspectives, so he really wanted to have a deeper conversation with him.

With her daughter's help, Ms. Sun now knows quite a few commonly used characters.

While encouraging his younger sister to continue her studies, Sun Guangming also sent her a letter.

The thought of being able to correspond with her brother herself fueled Sun's enthusiasm for studying even more.

When her daughter wasn't around, she would directly ask her older sister and younger sister for advice, without feeling ashamed at all for asking children.

However, after reading the contents of her brother's new letter, she became somewhat worried.

When problems arise, Mrs. Sun actually prefers to communicate with her eldest daughter because she feels that her eldest daughter can always understand her.

Actually, she didn't know that Zhao Qinglan herself lived to be sixty years old in her previous life, which was older than Sun Shi's current age.

When Zhao Qinglan returned from get off work, after dinner, Sun pulled her daughter aside and started talking.

It turned out that Sun Guangming wanted to visit his parents' graves.

Having been away from home for so many years, he felt he owed his parents a great deal. Now that they were gone, he couldn't make up for it, but he couldn't just leave them without even paying their respects.

Actually, Sun also wanted to go to their parents' graves with her brother and have a good talk, at least to let their parents know that her brother had been found.

But her parents' graves are in her hometown, and the thought of going back there makes her feel terrified.

"Mom, what are you afraid of? You're going back with my uncle, not by yourself. Why don't you talk to my uncle and wait until winter vacation to go back? We can go back to our hometown together first, and then go to Beijing."

The thought that not only her brother but also her daughter would accompany her back home immediately calmed Sun down.

"Okay, I'll talk to your uncle."

Actually, it wasn't really necessary for Zhao Qinglan to go back to her hometown, but her mother was afraid, so she was willing to go with her.

Consider it a glorious return to one's hometown, bringing honor to one's ancestors.

At least let the people back home know that her uncle is still alive and doing quite well.

Even if they don't live in their hometown, they still instill a sense of fear in the locals, reminding them not to think they are easy to bully.

Especially the Zhao family. Although they saw that their eldest son, Zhao, had repented, who knows if the rest of the Zhao family will cause trouble in the future? The uncle's trip back was a good opportunity to let the Zhao family see that their mother still has family.

If she goes back, she can also visit Sui Wenjing's family.

Thinking about it this way, she actually started to look forward to going back to her hometown.
