Chapter 216 Spreading Flowers
"He was indeed afraid of his wife, because Yu Hua was a son-in-law."
Shi Luo looked at the person who spoke, his mind full of question marks, "You are."
"My name is Gu Lian, and I major in classical literature."
Shi Luo: "Oh, my brother's deskmate when he was taking classes, when did you start sitting here?"
Jiang Hao smiled helplessly, "Just when you were engrossed in watching the excitement."
Shi Luo nodded and looked at Gu Lian. "What do you know about their family affairs? Can you tell me?"
Gu Lian smiled and said, "There's nothing to hide. There are many people in the local area who don't know about Yu Hua's family.
Yu Hua's family was quite simple. They were just an ordinary family in the brigade where I went to the countryside. There were five sons and three daughters in the family. Yu Hua was the third child, neither up nor down, and was not valued at home.
His wife, Qi Xuehua, was different. The Qi family was a wealthy family in the commune. They had seven sons, and Qi Xuehua was the eighth. She was the only daughter in the family and was raised by the whole family. Qi Xuehua's father was a famous butcher in the commune, and her mother used to work in the logistics department of the slaughterhouse.
The Qi family's sons, the eldest, second, and third, all served in the army in their early years. After they were discharged, they were all arranged to work. The eldest son is now the deputy director of the sales department of their county slaughterhouse, the second son is the captain of the criminal investigation team of their county public security bureau, and the third son was arranged to work in the food factory in Jing City after he was discharged. Before I came to college, I heard that he should be a deputy director now.
The fourth and fifth sons of the Qi family went to the countryside and passed the college entrance examination after it was reinstated. I heard they both went on to junior college. The sixth and seventh sons were sent to the army when the army was recruited a few years ago. When Qi Xuehua turned sixteen, she took over her father's job as a butcher.
Shi Luo's eyes widened in shock. "Butcher, why would she take over her father's job when she doesn't want to take over her mother's? This job is not easy."
Gu Lian: "I heard that it was arranged by his father. None of the sons of the Qi family were willing to learn the skills of the butcher Qi. The father of the Qi family was afraid that the skills would be lost.
It just so happened that Qi Xuehua had a talent for this, was very strong, and was willing to learn, so the old man passed on the skills to his daughter. Later, when she was old and unemployed and had to go to the countryside, the old man let his daughter take over.
Shi Luo: "How did Yu Hua marry into the Qi family? The Qi family has no shortage of sons, so why would they let their daughters marry into the family?"
Gu Lian said, "The Qi family loves their daughters very much. After Qi Xuehua started working, they began to plan to find a son-in-law for her. Qi Xuehua looked at no less than fifty men and finally fell in love with Yu Hua, a man from the countryside. Yu Hua's biggest advantage is that he has a good face, a sweet mouth and is good at dealing with people.
Yu Hua was a smart person. After marrying into the Qi family, he didn't have a job at first, so he didn't have to worry about making money. He just did housework at home and studied when he had nothing to do. In three years, he earned his junior high school and high school diplomas, and eventually got a job at a slaughterhouse. Later, when the college entrance examination was resumed, he was admitted to university.
Shi Luo felt that the story of Yu Hua and Qi Xuehua could be written into a novel, and the title would be, After Marrying into the Favored Female Butcher's Family, I Got into University.
Gu Lian finished his meal and picked up his lunch box. "I have classes soon, so I'll be leaving now. You guys can chat slowly."
Jiang Hao looked at Shi Luo who was lost in thought and waved his hand in front of him. "It's time for us to go. We've already made an appointment to look at houses. If we don't leave now, we'll be late."
Shi Luo: "Brother, Yu Hua is actually very hardworking. His life experience is worth considering. If he writes a novel with a designated readership, it will be much more appealing."
Shi Luo didn't dare to talk about his other achievements in the past few years in college, but he wrote a lot of novels and bought a lot of houses, even two courtyard houses.
After Jiang Hao and Shi Luo looked at the house, they went to handle the paperwork before returning home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Jiang Jianshe holding a fishing rod and talking to Feng Lai who was sitting next to him.
Shi Luo looked at Feng Lai who was also holding a fishing rod and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
Feng Lai was very happy to see his son back. "I'm taking a break. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll come see your godfather later. We've made an appointment to go fishing."
Jiang Jianguo came to Beijing half a year after Jiang Hao went to college. Originally, Jiang Jianguo really wanted to come here as soon as he retired, but he was always busy with the brigade's affairs, so after retirement, he helped the newly appointed brigade leader to sort out everything before leaving the brigade.
Feng Lai met Shi Luo during the summer vacation of his sophomore year.
Feng Lai is Jiang Hai's immediate superior, but he had retired before he met Shi Luo.
Feng Lai didn't recognize Shi Luo before he came because his identity was too complicated and he was afraid that it would be discovered and implicate Shi Luo.
The Feng family is a famous entrepreneur in Hai City. Feng Lai is the youngest son of the Feng family. Because of a fortune teller's words when he was born, he has been living in a Taoist temple with his master.
Because of this, basically no one knew about the relationship between Feng Lai and the Feng family. It was not until his master passed away and Feng Lai joined the army that Feng Lai officially appeared in the Feng family. However, the situation was complicated at the time, and Feng's father wanted to leave a way out for the Feng family, so he did not disclose Feng Lai's identity to the public.
After Feng Lai and Shi Luo's mother fell in love, they brought their son home to meet their parents. They had originally agreed with Shi's mother to prepare for the wedding as soon as Shi's grandfather came back from away.
But later Feng Lai had a mission and left for a long time, so long that Shi Luo was born and Shi's mother died, and he still didn't come back.
Before Shi Luo was three years old, the people who sent things to the Shi family and came to see Shi Luo secretly were Feng Lai's parents, that is, Shi Luo's grandparents.
The supplies that Shi Luo received every month after he turned three were delivered by Feng Lai.
Feng Lai was extremely politically sensitive. Even before the policy came into effect to investigate and prosecute capitalists, he had already arranged for his parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law to fake their own deaths and take a boat to Hong Kong with the gold and silver. Later, he stayed in the mainland and worked even harder to earn merit and climb up the ladder.
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Feng Lai was seriously injured while completing a mission, and his companions who were on the mission with him sacrificed their lives to protect him.
After Feng Lai recovered from his injuries, the first thing he did was to visit the family of his deceased companion, Mrs. Yu.
Originally, they wanted to secretly ask the local leaders to take good care of them, but as luck would have it, when they went there, they happened to see someone bullying them, an orphan and a widow.
Feng Lai was furious and taught those guys who bullied the martyrs' families a lesson. He also left the address of his unit to Mrs. Yu before leaving.
Things would have ended just fine here, but not long after Feng Lai left, Yu's sister-in-law took the Yu siblings to Feng Lai's military district.
In front of everyone, she knelt and cried and begged Feng Lai to give her and her two daughters a way to survive.
Feng Lai was already worried, and then he was forced into a corner by his rivals. In addition, there were some people who did not wish him well and added fuel to the fire.
There was no other way but to reach an agreement with Sister Yu. He could marry her, but they would not interfere with each other after marriage, that is, they would live their own lives. Feng Lai would be responsible for raising Yu's siblings until they were eighteen years old, at which time Sister Yu would divorce Feng Lai.
Sister-in-law Yu had originally agreed, and she and Fenglai had indeed treated each other with respect in the past few years. But later, Sister-in-law Yu became more and more ambitious and wanted to turn the fake marriage into a real one.
Feng Lai is not stupid, and he doesn't like Sister Yu, so he can only stay away from her. Unless there is a special reason, he might meet Sister Yu once for show, and otherwise he will avoid her as much as possible.
Later, the college entrance examination was resumed, and reform and opening up took place. Those who were barefoot were no longer afraid of those who wore shoes. They forced Yu Saozi to successfully divorce. In addition, people no longer judged people by their class background. Only then did Feng Lai dare to recognize Shi Luo.
After graduation, Shi Luo chose to stay in school for internship and take the postgraduate entrance examination at the same time.
Jiang Hao was assigned to a cultural relic protection unit, and of course he was also preparing to follow Shi Luo's footsteps and continue to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.
During his four years in college, Shi Luo not only published many short articles but also published three novels.
In addition to his internship, Jiang Hao also set up a company with Xie Chen, and their current business scope includes hotels, real estate, clothing, and shopping malls.
After graduation, Xie Chen and Li Zhe focused on the company, preparing to expand the scale in all aspects and take the company to a higher level.
Jiang Hao's brothers have recently expanded their businesses to Beijing. Jiang He has set up a small furniture workshop, Liu Shan has opened a steamed bun shop, Jiang Lin has set up a transport team, and Jiang Sen and his wife have opened two restaurants.
Jiang Hao's sister, Jiang Lan, opened a clothing store and also took on clothing-making work, which was considered one of the earliest private custom-made services.
Jiang Jianguo often sighed that, except for his youngest son who was a little naughty and always provoked him so that he would chase him and beat him with the soles of his shoes, everything else was perfect.
Well, my children are filial and I have a successful career. I am really a successful father.
PS: Throwing flowers, spinning in circles, hahaha, so happy, hehe.
The main text ends here. In short, I am really grateful to all the readers for their company along the way.
