Chapter 972 (Page 1/2)
Huo Li knew everything in his heart. He knew that there must be some unknown secrets between his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law. But since his grandson was unwilling to talk, he naturally did not ask any more questions.
Among his many grandchildren, this eldest grandson is undoubtedly the most promising one and also the most filial.
Seeing that his eldest grandson and his family lived a rich and happy life, Huo Li was naturally very happy.
Of course, he also hopes that his other grandchildren can live well. Compared with outsiders, their lives are pretty good.
As long as they don't cause any big problems, Huo Li usually won't easily step in to interfere in their lives.
However, he certainly could not sit idly by and watch Song Jingjing openly disobey her mother-in-law. He had to teach her a lesson.
Fortunately, he didn't need to personally deal with this matter, as his son Huo Junshan had already handled it.
"Qingci, tell me, what does your wife plan to do with this money? Is she going to buy a courtyard house again?" Huo Li asked curiously.
"Grandpa, if there's a suitable courtyard house, we can certainly buy it. But my wife plans to use the money for investment this time.
She wants to open a children's clothing factory and is also thinking of going to Hong Kong next year to see if there's any business she can do there. "Huo Qingci answered truthfully.
"Going to Hong Kong for business?"
"Well, the average salary here is 30 or 40 yuan a month, while over there it's 1,000 or 2,000. Bosses can easily make tens to millions, or even tens of millions, from a single business."
"Ah, so much? Is it really that easy to make money over there?"
Huo Qingci nodded and said, "I heard from Comrade Wei that people in Pengcheng took the risk of sneaking across the border on black ships in order to reach Gangcheng to pan for gold.
But who would have thought that some poor souls would die on the ship before even reaching their destination.”
He sighed deeply and continued, "If it weren't for the easy money in Hong Kong, how could those people be so desperate to get there even though they knew there were risks involved?
Those illegal immigrants who work as porters at the docks after arriving in the port city can easily earn seven or eight hundred yuan a month.
As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll definitely be able to make money there. If you're lucky, you might even be able to get a Hong Kong hukou."
Huo Li couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he heard this. Although he knew that China had lagged behind other countries for many years due to its closed borders, he had never expected the gap to be so huge.

After a moment's silence, he said to Huo Qingci, "Qingci, you two are in very good financial condition now. When you hear that they have been admitted to university, spend a little more money to send them abroad to study! That way they can see the outside world and broaden their horizons."
Huo Qingci was surprised. He didn't expect that his grandfather would support him in sending his child to study abroad.
"Grandpa, it would be great if the children could get into a prestigious foreign university. If they don't, there's no point in sending them abroad. It would be better for them to stay in China.
Whether they go to school in China or abroad, they have to rely on themselves, and we as parents can only support them financially."
"Ningning said she wants to go to military school, so she doesn't want to go abroad. An'an, Wenwen, and Xinxin want to study abroad. You should find a way to support them in the future. I don't know if I can wait until that day."
Huo Li frowned slightly and spoke with some concern.
Huo Qingci quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, you are in very good health. You can live to be a hundred years old without any problem. Not to mention seeing them study abroad, you can also see them get married and have children without any problem."
Huo Li himself knew that he was in better health than his peers. He could eat and sleep well and was very flexible. Not to mention living to be 100 years old, he could have no problem living to 90.
He smiled and shook his head. "When you get older, you tend to think more. I have no regrets in my life. I just hope to see my children have a good future.
Qingci, you're going back to Hai City soon. You won't be coming back for the New Year this year, right?"
Of course Huo Qingci wanted to stay at home for the New Year, but he had no choice because of work.
"Grandpa, I won't be coming back for the New Year this year. Manman is busy, and she won't be taking the children to Hai City for the New Year at the end of the year. She will stay home with you this year to celebrate the New Year."
Huo Li also knew his eldest grandson's difficulties, but thinking that he would be back next summer, he was not too anxious.
"Qingci, Qingyan and his wife have rented a house in the city. Will they go to the Song family to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"Grandpa, they will definitely come to spend the New Year with you on New Year's Eve and the first day, and will stay at the Song family on the second and third days.
But that's not certain. My sister-in-law has made some money from her clothing store, so maybe she'll invite all the Song family members to her house for the New Year."
Huo Qingci had some understanding of Song Jingjing's type of person. If she had to choose, she would definitely choose to spend the New Year with her family.
