Chapter 272: Relocation of Graves
The day after Xu Hexiao arrived home, the couple went to school to see the children and brought them a lot of delicious food. The three children were in different schools, and it took them a whole day to visit all three schools.
Fortunately, Xu Zhaoyuan bought pagers for the three children, so they would not be lost.
"Dad, what is it like abroad?" All three children asked this question.
Xu Hexiao was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Compared with foreign countries, we still have a long way to go."
The three children felt heavy-hearted after hearing this, but they soon regained their fighting spirit, "Dad, we are confident that we can catch up."
Xu Hexiao patted the three children on the shoulders and said, "Dad believes in you. At the end of the year, Dad and Mom will go abroad. If you are free and your superiors allow it, you can go with Dad."
The three children's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"
Xu Hexiao smiled, "You'll have to ask your instructor. If he agrees, then there will be no problem."
After returning to China, Xu Hexiao was still very busy, but no matter how busy he was, he would try his best to go home every day. Sometimes when he needed to go on business trips, he would control the time to within three days.
One month after Xu Hexiao returned to China, the wines from his brewery began to appear in several department stores owned by Xu Zhaoyuan. Xu Zhaoyuan advertised for them for free, and the first thing anyone who entered the department store saw was a huge advertisement at the door: Linxu Winery opened today, and all products were 20% off for the first three days.
In addition to the advertisements here, Xu's Department Store had also posted advertisements a long time ago, telling everyone that they had opened a store specializing in selling alcohol in the department store.
"Boss, you don't even have enough wine to sell, why did you open a branch?" The customer didn't understand.
"We opened a brewery," Zhao Shu explained patiently. "The brewery has a high output, but the taste of the wine is not as good as the one sold in the store before, but it's not bad either."
"What kind of wine is sold in that store? We don't want to drink bad wine!" the customer was anxious.
"The previous wines were classified as high-end wines by us, and the new wines are mid-range wines. The prices of the previous wines remain unchanged, and the new wines are cheaper than the high-end wines. The number of high-end wines is limited, so you can try the mid-range wines, and you will definitely not be disappointed." Zhao Shu said with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other, "How about trying a mid-range wine?"
"The quality of the goods in Qizai Department Store is excellent, and I believe the mid-range wines should not be bad either. And mid-range wines are cheap, so you can buy more."
"I plan to try mid-range wines. High-end wines are often sold out and unavailable."
"Compared to the taste and mouthfeel, I care more about the therapeutic effects of wine. Drinking this wine will give me a fever, relieve fatigue, and help me sleep. Does mid-range wine have this effect?"
"Yes, but the effect is relatively weaker."
"Boss, can we buy mid-range wine now?"
"Yes, we have it now."
"I'll have two pounds first."
“…”
On the day the store opened, many people came to support Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao.
The three of Lao Yi brought more than ten colleagues, Lao Mu and Lao Weng also brought colleagues, and Mu Qian and his wife brought several children. In addition, the Chu family also came, bringing more than twenty relatives. To Xu Hexiao's surprise, more than twenty colleagues from the machinery factory also came.
When these colleagues saw Xu Hexiao, they sighed.
"I didn't expect that after leaving the machinery factory, you have become so successful, setting up factories and companies. You are amazing."
"Just his Seven Tsai Department Store alone makes a fortune every day. Who among us is as rich as he is now?"
"I can't see how much money they make. I only see their beauty. It's been ten years, how come you haven't changed at all!"
"Tell me the truth, how much did you spend on maintenance?"
"Xu Hexiao, your wife looks younger than my daughter."
“…”
Various voices of envy and jealousy arose one after another.
On the first day of opening, all the wine in the store was sold out, not a single bottle was left.
"The production capacity of your brewery is not enough!" Lao Yi sighed in a pretentious manner.
Xu Hexiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Hand over the 500 kilograms of wine you bought."
Old Yi choked and pointed at Old Fu and Old Bi, "They also bought 500 kilograms."
"Then hand them all over, just keep ten kilograms." Xu Hexiao's tone did not allow for refusal.
“…”
"In fact, many people also bought a lot of wine, why do you only let us pay!" Old Fu muttered.
Xu Hexiao turned a deaf ear.
Linxu Wine Company soon became famous throughout the capital, and its reputation spread rapidly to various cities at a speed that spread like wildfire. Along with it, Linxu Employment Company opened stores in various cities. The speed of expansion far surpassed its competitors. What was even more surprising was that Linxu Wine Company's wine was often sold out.
You know, their wine is not cheap, especially the high-end wine, which can be called one of the most expensive wines in China. It is out of stock all year round and in various cities.
Is Linxu Winery’s wine really that good?
Because they couldn’t buy it, everyone became more curious, and every time the product arrived in the store, there was a long line outside.
At the end of the year, Xu Hexiao and Lin Qi took their three children on a plane to travel overseas, and Xu Zhaoyuan also went with them.
When he first saw Xu Hexiao, the Chinese youth couldn't help but come over and punch Xu Hexiao hard in the chest, laughing wildly, "Boss, our wine is completely popular."
Xu Hexiao also laughed, "Isn't this something that was expected?"
The Chinese youth gave Xu Hexiao a thumbs up and said, "You are far-sighted. They arranged for people to come and steal our secret recipe, take our wine for testing, and even poached a few of our winemakers. What was the result? Nothing!"
The boss told them to guard the orchard, so they bought more than a dozen dogs to patrol 24 hours a day. Now people outside don't know that the reason why their wine quality is unique is because their raw materials are also unique.
"The opponent is cunning, so you'd better be careful and cautious." Xu Hexiao warned.
The young man nodded. "By the way, Boss, I have already bought the orchard. It's half an hour's drive from our vineyard. Can you come and have a look when you are free?"
"Tomorrow." Xu Hexiao said, "We will also build a winery over there and make fruit wine."
"No problem, I'll contact the workers when I get home tonight."
Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao were busy with the orchard and winery, while the three children traveled around with Xu Zhaoyuan, Xu Zhaotu and Xu Zhaoyue, visiting many cities. They stayed abroad for more than 20 days, and when they came back, Xu Zhaotu and Xu Zhaoyue also came back with them.
When Xu Zhaotu and Xu Zhaoyue arrived at Lin Qi's house, they looked at the ebony floor and were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
After a long while, the two came back to their senses, "The imperial palace is not as luxurious as you."
There is no precious wood everywhere in the palace. How many years have these woods grown, hundreds or thousands of years?
Xu Zhaotu and Xu Zhaoyue both wanted to live in Lin Qi's house, but they failed. As soon as they opened their mouths, they were dragged away by their eldest brother.
He himself couldn't even move in, so how could his younger brother and sister have the right!
In February, Xu Hexiao brought Xu Zhaoyuan and his two siblings back to Anliang Brigade. Xu Hexiao bought a piece of land outside Beijing and planned to develop it into a cemetery. The approval has been passed and construction has started. It will be completed by the end of February.
This time, Xu Hexiao brought Xu Zhaoyuan and his two siblings back to Anliang Brigade. In addition to paying homage to Grandpa Xu, they also had another purpose - to move the grave.
A few years ago, Xu Hexiao took Xu Zhaoyuan there once, and they went there again a few years later. The distance was too far, and the father and son had long planned to move the grave, but they had never found a good cemetery.
As a last resort, Xu Hexiao could only develop a cemetery on his own. Fortunately, their wine sold well, otherwise they would not have the money to buy such a large piece of land.
Xu Hexiao drove a truck with a fully sealed cabin, and the others drove either SUVs or sedans. There were five cars in total. In addition to the four people from the Xu family, there were ten bodyguards.
Xu Zhaoyuan specially invited a Feng Shui master to calculate the date, down to a specific hour and time.
"The situation was not friendly at the time. We were afraid that grandpa would be disturbed, so Qiqi and I buried him deep in the mountains." Xu Hexiao explained, pointing to the orchard and animals below. "This place used to belong to me and Qiqi. Because of Qiqi, grandpa had plenty of food and clothing in the last two years of his life, and he was less tortured by illness. But his health was broken, and the doctor said it couldn't be cured, and Qiqi couldn't do anything."
Xu Zhaoyuan, Xu Zhaotu and Xu Zhaoyue knelt in silence in front of the tomb.
After a long time, Xu Hexiao looked at his watch and said, "It's time."
Xu Hexiao, Xu Zhaoyuan and his two siblings took shovels and without the help of bodyguards, the four of them carefully dug out the coffin.
The moment they saw the coffin, Xu Zhaoyuan and his two siblings could not help but be surprised. They thought it was just a simple coffin, but they did not expect it to be such a gorgeous coffin. Looking at the golden light on the coffin, they could not help but touch it. It must be golden nanmu, the same golden nanmu as the one in the home of his son (nephew) in the capital.
In that era, people were hungry and cold, so where did the golden nanmu come from?
How much wood is needed to make such a large coffin?
"In ancient times, only royal descendants and nobles could use golden nanmu. Ah He, thank you for letting your grandfather pass away so dignifiedly." Xu Zhaoyue's voice choked with sobs.
"Even now, I can't find so much golden nanmu." This thing can't be bought with money. Xu Zhaotu patted his nephew's shoulder and said, "You are better than us."
"It wasn't me." Xu Hexiao shook his head. "I was planning to use fir wood and make it myself. It was Qiqi who found the golden nanmu wood and made the coffin and the outer coffin."
"How could she, a little girl, get such heavy wood?" Xu Zhaoyuan was puzzled.
"I don't know." Xu Hexiao shook his head. "I must have traveled to many places. After all, this place is not suitable for the growth of golden nanmu trees. Father, uncle and aunt, without Qiqi, you might not be able to see me today. Those years were really too difficult——"
