Chapter 110

It snowed heavily during the Chinese New Year, and many telephone lines were down. Moreover, it was difficult to make phone calls these days. Sometimes I had to start making calls in the morning and only get through to the right person in the evening.

Zhen Zhen didn't know how the sales of the three brands of Naoqingsong performed after the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast.

But judging from the feedback from people around me, at least the people in the entire Xinyao County City can recite the slogans of these three brands, and it seems that the situation is similar in other places.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the telephone line was finally connected, and Zhen Zhen received many calls from agents announcing the good news.

Zhenxin instant noodles were sold out, Naoqingsong instant noodles were sold out, and the Focus women's clothing was even more outrageous. There were queues in front of the 50 chain stores early in the morning on the first day of the Chinese New Year.

It is said that people have to queue for one or two hours every day to get into the store.

Even so, you may not be able to buy clothes.

The same red dress, sweater and suit as the female host have been sold out long ago. It is impossible to buy them, let alone place an order.

Zhen Zhen went back to Batou Village. Under the command of Song Xiaohong, the seamstresses only went back for a meal during the New Year and continued to work as soon as they came back. Even so, they could not keep up with the speed at which they demanded goods.

"We can only focus on the hot-selling styles and put the other styles aside," said Song Xiaohong.

Zhen Zhen nodded, "Make more of the same style as the female host."

This year, every family in Batou Village is worth ten thousand yuan, and they all celebrated the New Year in their luxurious homes. People from other villages are so excited that they wish they could be a part of Batou Village.

It is worth mentioning that the female workers were busy working overtime and had no time to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner and serve the men and children! This year, the New Year's Eve dinner of many families in Batou Village was prepared by men.

"My husband has never been in the kitchen in his life. Hey, guess what? He can actually cook a few dishes when I'm not at home."

"My husband also bought some pork head and other cold dishes from Zhou Shufen, and cut some salted duck eggs and bacon to make a few cold dishes. My father-in-law also went to the kitchen to cook a few hot dishes. Our New Year's Eve dinner was quite sumptuous."

"It's great for women to be able to make money. It will raise their status in the family."

"These old men are just used to it. They are lazy as hell and can live well even if no one helps them with the work."

"We women still have to think about ourselves."

"If I had money when I was young, I would never marry this bastard! He is lazy and does nothing, and he is not considerate. He has no merits at all!"

A woman who has made money stands up straight and knows how to be picky about men.

Zhen Zhen laughed, "Women have a say only when they have economic power."

"Guizhi is right. No one in this world can't live without another," sighed Gou Zi's sister-in-law. "If we die one day, they will have to marry another wife before the seventh day. For women, health is the most important thing."

That's true. Nothing is more important than your body.

Zhen Zhen took out a pair of frameless glasses from his pocket, opened the account book given by Song Xiaohong, and began to check the account. Zhang Cuihua came over and asked, "Why are you wearing glasses?"

"I have presbyopia and can't see clearly. Do I have to wear glasses?"

"I have presbyopia too, but I can live with it," Zhang Cuihua observed Zhen Zhen wearing glasses and found it very strange, "If she is beautiful, she will look good with glasses, unlike Meng Yi, the bespectacled guy, who looks like a fool when he wears glasses."

Zhen Zhen has experienced presbyopia, relaxation, and menopause, but fortunately she has gotten used to it and there is nothing unacceptable about it.

Zhang Cuihua knew that Su Xiu was going to Beijing, so she brought some chili sauce and dried radishes for Su Xiu, fearing that she would not be able to get used to the food after going to school.

"You are willing to let such a young lady go away."

"Why not? I'd be willing to leave Beijing, let alone go abroad."

"You are so open-minded."

Su Xiu has been reviewing her academic subjects, but her learning is not systematic. She still needs to go to Beijing to receive training from a professional teacher, and maybe learn sketching as well.

Zhen Zhen thought that since she was still young, there was nothing wrong in learning more skills.

"Study hard, and if your school offers opportunities to study abroad, tell me."

Su Xiu was stunned for a moment, her face full of shock. It would cost a lot of money to go abroad. Although Zhen Guizhi was generous to her, she didn't think Zhen Guizhi was really willing to spend money to train her.

Su Xiu never thought about it this way.

Zhen Zhen was not joking. In this era, information asymmetry is very important. Years ago, the Naoqingsong factory began to be built. Zhen Zhen set his sights on several plots of land near Naoqingsong, thinking that if he had the chance in the future, he could buy more land and stockpile it.

China had just started to develop, and there was a lot of experience from other countries that was worth learning from. There were only advantages and no disadvantages for Su Xiu to go abroad.

"Don't worry about the money. I'm fair to everyone. Whatever your brother has, you will have too. As long as you have the ability to go abroad, I will pay for all your expenses."

Su Xiu felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She was such a good mother. It was hard to imagine how happy it would be to live with her forever.

Su Xiu thought she wouldn't feel any reluctance, but she found out she was wrong, she couldn't bear to leave Zhen Guizhi.

She finally understood the lesson of "separation" in life.

After Su Xiu left, several financial officers came over to settle accounts with Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen looked through the accounts for this month and was shocked by the traffic during the Chinese New Year. A pack of Zhenxin instant noodles cost only a few cents, but the sales volume exceeded 3 million!

The unit price of Naoqingsong is high, 15-20 yuan per box, and it sold more than 12 million!

Focus women's clothing was also not left behind, thanks to the same style as the hosts and the promotion before the Spring Festival, it sold more than 1.2 million!

In other words, in the month around the Chinese New Year alone, Zhen Zhen alone earned more than 8 million!

Meng Daguo was puzzled, Meng Eryong also thought he was dreaming, and Tao Aihong was even more stunned by the money. She slapped herself several times before she came to.

More than 8 million! Her mother-in-law made more than 8 million right away? ?

Yes, Nao Qingsong has nothing to do with them. It was all created by grandma-in-law alone. But grandma-in-law’s business will be left to them in the future. Isn’t it too much for them to think about it?

Tao Aihong calculated that she would at least get a share of several million in the family property!

In other words, the third and fifth children are both millionaires!

Oh my God, how can we spend so much money! Others can't even take out 200 yuan, but they have tens of millions, no, 20 to 30 million yuan in assets!

After this year's Spring Festival Gala, Naoqingsong, Zhenxin and Focus women's clothing brands have become completely famous. Will their sales be bad next year?

Not to mention that Meng Daguo's pig farm also earned more than 200,000 this year.

Zhen Zhen gave each of them 200,000 yuan, and kept the rest of the money for investment.

Tao Aihong and Jiao Huilan had no objection. Jiao Huilan mentioned giving money to Su Xiu, and Zhen Zhen nodded and said:

"I will give her some money from my easy-headed account."

Tao Aihong was not happy, but she did not dare to disobey her mother-in-law. Life at home was so good now. If she dared to force her, and her mother-in-law kicked her out, she would be doomed!

At night, Meng Eryong lay on his bed, so excited that he didn't know what to do. He had thought many times before about how to spend his money.

"Aihong, are you afraid that I will become bad if I have money?"

Tao Aihong rolled her eyes. "How bad can you be?"

"What if I find another woman outside?"

"Another woman? Who is so miserable? With your three-legged cat skills, you can finish it in the time it takes to pour a glass of water. Any woman who follows you will be unlucky!"

Meng Eryong: “…”

Meng Eryong was not convinced. Although he was old, too busy with work recently, and not paying attention to his diet, so he was not as brave and powerful as when he was young, he couldn't be so bad as to pour a glass of water, right? Tao Aihong was too bullying!

Provoked by Tao Aihong, Meng Eryong took some dried ginseng slices and wolfberries from Zhen Zhen's room and soaked them in water to drink. He also stewed the sea cucumber that someone gave to Zhen Zhen, intending to nourish his body and let Tao Aihong know how powerful he is.

Tao Aihong was too lazy to pay attention to him because the user experience was really bad. Even with Meng Eryong's quick shooter, he still had to wash up after finishing. Why bother!

She would rather sleep.

Tao Aihong was thinking about other things. Her mother came to her again a few days ago to ask for money. Tao Jiang and his sister-in-law also often forced her to take money home.

Tao Aihong is not a smart person, but she knows what to do and what not to do.

She has more than 200,000 yuan in hand, and now that she has the money she wants to support her parents' family, so it would be better for her to spend it.

Tao Aihong thought about depositing all the money in the bank, which could earn tens of thousands of yuan in interest a year, so she wouldn't have to worry about food, clothing and other necessities, and her children would be able to buy a house with the money in the future.

However, Jiao Huilan thinks that saving money in the bank is not a good thing, because her mother-in-law rarely saves money in the bank, and uses it all to buy antiques and invest in gold.

Jiao Huilan went to Zhen Zhen's room to ask her mother-in-law how to spend money correctly.

Zhen Zhen is not an expert either, but houses in Beijing are cheap right now. Commercial housing has not yet been put on the market, but shops and courtyard houses can be bought.

A courtyard house costs only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and a more expensive one is only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. With this money, Jiao Huilan can buy four or five courtyard houses.

Jiao Huilan's eyes widened. "What's the point of buying a courtyard house?"

"There are more and more wealthy people in China. These are rare assets and will become more and more valuable in the future. Besides, you have three daughters, so you should prepare some dowries for them, right?"

Jiao Huilan learned her lesson. That's right. She has three daughters-in-law, each of whom has a courtyard house. She and Meng Daguo also want to keep one for their old age, so they need to prepare four courtyard houses.

In case Meng Xi fails to win the world championship and returns home to live off her parents, she has a house and doesn't have to worry about other people's opinions.

"Mom, is it really possible to buy a courtyard house? This is two hundred thousand! If I spend it all, I will have no money left."

"Don't worry, the courtyard house will be very valuable in the future. You can buy it for your daughter as a dowry!" Zhen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "If you have money, you can also buy some paving, gold, jewelry and so on. Remember, these things will become more and more expensive in the future."

When Jiao Huilan saw Tao Aihong's passbook, she also envied Tao Aihong's annual interest of tens of thousands of yuan.

But she knew her mother-in-law was knowledgeable, so she was right to listen to her mother-in-law. What was ten thousand yuan? If it was true as her mother-in-law said, the courtyard houses, antiques and jewelry would become more and more valuable in the future, and the dowry she prepared for her daughter would be worth a lot of money in the future!

Jiao Huilan gritted her teeth and prepared to go to Beijing to buy a courtyard house.

She didn't dare tell Tan Wenyin, for fear that Tan Wenyin would have an opinion if her mother-in-law didn't give Meng Hua any dividends.

Jiao Huilan and Meng Daguo found a local introducer named Jin Dahai, who specialized in house rental, sales, and exchange. Although people from Beijing had good conditions, locals did not like to live in courtyard houses, as they felt that it was inconvenient to go to the toilet in such houses and they were not as comfortable as buildings.

Besides, people have just escaped poverty these days, so how can they have so much spare money to invest in real estate?

As soon as Jin Dahai saw Jiao Huilan buying a courtyard house, he felt that he had been cheated and wanted to put her on the table and burn incense to worship her.

"Please follow me, this is the best courtyard house I have. It has a good location, right by the Houhai Lake. You can go out for a walk right after you open the door, and you can even go swimming in the river in the summer."

Jiao Huilan was also quite experienced. "How much is this set?"

"Less than twenty thousand."

"Anything else?"

"There are two more units. The location is also very good. The yard is spacious and adjacent to the old palace."

"What's the price?"

"13,000 per set."

Jiao Huilan asked Jin Dahai to take them to visit two other courtyard houses. Jiao Huilan liked all three houses, but she never buys things without bargaining, and she was afraid that she would make a loss.

Jin Dahai helped her bargain again and again, and he managed to get a lower price for the unit near Houhai, but he couldn't get the price of the two units near the Forbidden City down no matter what.

Jiao Huilan had no choice but to pay for all three sets.

Jin Dahai thought he had misheard, "What did you say? You want to buy all three sets?"

Jiao Huilan nodded, "Yes, I want all three. In addition, I want to buy another one near the Forbidden City."

Jin Dahai didn't quite understand, "Why do you need so many houses?"

Jiao Huilan smiled and said, "I have three daughters, and I want to buy them as dowries. But I am afraid that if I buy them in different places, the daughters will think I am biased. So I am thinking of buying them together and letting them draw lots to decide who wants which set."

Jin Dahai really admired her. She made so much money at such a young age and prepared courtyard houses for her three daughters as dowries! If this matter were to get out, it would be a great story.

"How old is your daughter?"

Jiao Huilan smiled and said, "Junior high school and elementary school."

"Oh, if I weren't so old, I would really like to have you as my mother-in-law."

Jin Dahai made a joke. Knowing that Jiao Huilan and Meng Daguo could not stay for a few days, he asked around for a house and finally found one the day before they left Beijing.

"It's very close to the other two houses, and the area is about the same. The house was sold by an elderly man. He was going abroad with his children, and he didn't need the house in Beijing, so he wanted to sell it."

"How about the price?" Jiao Huilan took a look around. The layouts of the courtyard houses nearby were similar. There were no trees in this courtyard, so it looked more spacious.

"He wants 15,000, but I'll bargain it down to 13,000 for you."

Jiao Huilan is not a fool. She knows that this is probably Jin Dahai's excuse to show how capable he is as an agent.

However, Jiao Huilan came here to buy a house. As long as she could buy the house she liked and complete the formalities, spending a little more money would not be a big deal.

Jiao Huilan bought four houses and went to the Housing Authority with Jin Dahai to complete the transfer procedures.

Buying four houses at once made Jiao Huilan feel a little unreal. She only had one feeling: how great it is to be rich!

Life is worth living when you have money!

The couple lay in the hotel. Meng Daguo held Jiao Huilan in his arms and felt that his life was happier than ever before. "Wife, I have you and three daughters in my life. I have no regrets."

Jiao Huilan joked, "Son doesn't want it anymore?"

Meng Daguo shook his head. He used to be obsessed with his son, but with his mother's guidance, he gradually let go of his obsession with his son.

All his children are his children. As their father, Meng Daguo should raise them well.

He wants to be a good father.

"Tell Meng Hua to bring us some more gold and jewelry as dowry for the three girls."

Jiao Huilan smiled: "The girls are so happy."

Meng Daguo suddenly turned his head and looked at her seriously, "Are you happy?"

He had a high nose, thin lips and a determined look in his eyes. Jiao Huilan felt her heart burning as she was stared at by him with such a real gaze.

Before getting married, she liked Meng Daguo very much, and she was happy to marry him.

A few years ago, she was so depressed that she would rather take pills to change her pregnancy in order to have a son. With the guidance of her mother-in-law, she gradually realized that there was something wrong with her mentality.

Over the years, she has seen the world, started her own women's clothing brand, worked hard with her husband, her daughter is sensible and cute, and her life is harmonious and beautiful. She has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Jiao Huilan blushed and nodded, "I am very happy."

"Where is the happiness?" Meng Daguo put his hand into her clothes but did not let her go.

Jiao Huilan felt a little uncomfortable. Meng Daguo was good in every way except that he was very persistent about this matter. He would spend at least half an hour on her every day, and would often spend an hour on her. And he would not stop until she was happy every time.

When she is not busy at work, Jiao Huilan can handle it, after all, she is used to doing farm work in the countryside.

But when she gets busy with work, she doesn't have so much time to think about it. But Meng Daguo thinks that only when a woman is happy in bed can the couple be happy.

Jiao Huilan finally understood what sweet troubles were.

"I'm happy, but I'm too tired today. How about we do it tomorrow?" Jiao Huilan wished she could do it today.

Meng Daguo didn't listen. They had just taken a shower and were clean. There were no children to disturb them. He got into the quilt and let Jiao Huilan have her pleasure first before he slowly began to have fun with her.

Jiao Huilan's face gradually turned red. She felt happy and could no longer say no.

The next day, the two were going back to their hometown. They remembered that they passed by a temple last time but did not have time to go in. It happened that the temple was not far from here, so they got up early and planned to go to the temple to worship Buddha.

Meng Daguo also imitated other young lovers and held Jiao Huilan's hand.

Jiao Huilan's legs were so sore that she said angrily:

"You are old, but you still compare yourself to young people! In a few years, our Meng Nan will go to college, why don't you admit your age?"

Meng Daguo whispered:

"You are my wife. I must not only make sure you have enough food and warm clothes, but also make sure you are in good spirits."

"Is this what your mother taught you?"

"I realized this myself," Meng Daguo said after being away for a few days. He was a little homesick for his mother and children. "Let's get a lucky charm for Mom later."

The two came to the big tree in front of the temple. The tree has a long history and many blessing lots are hung on it.

Just as Jiao Huilan was about to burn incense, an old man called her, "Donor, tell me your fortune! One dollar for each fortune!"

Jiao Huilan became more superstitious than before. She always felt that the past few years were like a dream. Life at home had inexplicably improved, and money was accumulating at an incredible speed.

Jiao Huilan wrote down the birth dates of both of them and their children, and the old man looked at them for a long time.

"You have two and a half daughters."

Jiao Huilan was stunned and didn't quite understand, "Two and a half daughters?"

"Yes, your second daughter is neither male nor female. She was supposed to be a girl, but you changed her fate and turned her into a hermaphrodite. Am I wrong?"

Jiao Huilan shook her head in a good-tempered manner, "Master, you calculated wrongly, my second daughter is very healthy."

"Healthy? Impossible! Logically speaking, you had a calamity in 1973. Your daughter ate something like a reincarnation pill and should have turned into a monster that was neither male nor female. In the future, the child will jump into the lake and die, and you will follow her because of your guilt. You and your wife will live a life of poverty and misery..."

Meng Daguo was obviously unhappy. "Who are you talking about? Our family lives a very good life. My daughter is also very healthy. How could she jump into the lake?"

No one likes others to say unlucky things.

Jiao Huilan was not too happy either, but she immediately remembered that in 1973, she should have listened to her mother-in-law and taken the pills to change her sex life, but her mother-in-law suddenly changed her temperament and stopped her.

Should she have taken the pill to change her sex life and given birth to Meng Xi, a girl who was neither male nor female, causing her daughter to live in pain for the rest of her life, and she should have committed suicide with her daughter out of guilt?

Jiao Huilan had a feeling that this should have been her life script, but her mother-in-law changed her fate and took her on another path.

Jiao Huilan quickly wrote down her mother-in-law's birth date. After the old man read it, he pinched his beard and said:

"As expected, the problem lies with your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law is a person with a peculiar fate. It is all thanks to her that you are in this situation."

Meng Daguo was now happier. "My mother is indeed very special. She has made our family rich and led everyone onto the right path."

"Your mother-in-law was destined to be a widow. She was mean, her son was foolishly filial, and she favored her youngest son. Her later years were miserable. But she had a calamity in her life. Once this calamity passed, she would understand her destiny and become another person. From now on, your family will be harmonious, your father will be kind and your son will be filial, and your wealth will be prosperous."

Jiao Huilan and Meng Daguo looked at each other and both thought that this old man was amazing.

"Old Immortal, can our family continue to be well?" Meng Daguo asked.

"Yes! Of course! The bad fate of your whole family has been changed because of your mother. If I am not mistaken, your family is getting better and better with each generation. You are a rare and beautiful family."

Meng Daguo was so happy that he took out ten yuan and stuffed it into the old immortal's pocket, and the old immortal took it calmly.

"In the future, you are going to be the richest man. Ten dollars is nothing! I dare to ask for a hundred dollars!"

Meng Daguo was stunned and actually took out a hundred yuan and gave it to him. The old immortal was not polite either. He took the money, packed up his stall and went home, saying that he wanted to buy some wine.

Meng Daguo and Jiao Huilan had a fruitful trip to Beijing. Not only did they buy a courtyard house, they also visited the Beijing branches of Zhenxin instant noodles and Focus women's clothing. Before leaving, the old immortal gave them auspicious words, and the couple were very happy.

When Tao Aihong saw their property deed, she felt a little sad. "Why buy a courtyard house? It's better to put it in the bank and earn interest."

Jiao Huilan looked at her mother-in-law with a smile, "I listen to my mother. I listen to whatever she says."

Tao Aihong rolled her eyes. Her mother-in-law wasn’t omnipotent. No matter how powerful she was, could she be as powerful as a bank?

The interest is 10,000 yuan per year!

Jiao Huilan is such a fool that she actually spent 60,000 yuan to buy four courtyard houses! If Jiao Huilan runs out of money one day, don't even think about borrowing money from her!

Tao Aihong thought she was very smart, so she told Meng Eryong about this while eating melon seeds. However, Meng Eryong thought Zhen Zhen's words made sense.

"When my eldest brother and I went to the island country, we heard that the houses there were extremely expensive. Our country will be like that in the future."

"An island country is an island country, and China is China. If there is a fight between landlords and those with more houses, the first one to be taken away and put in solitary confinement will be the first."

Meng Eryong thought that he should buy a few sets since they were not expensive anyway. However, Tao Aihong refused to pay for them, so Meng Eryong had to give up.

An older sister Zhao Meilan knew was seriously ill and wanted to pawn a pair of jade bracelets. Zhao Meilan saw that the bracelets had good water content and told Zhen Zhen immediately.

Zhao Meilan is not interested in antiques and cultural relics. She is from the countryside and would rather keep her money in the bank.

Zhen Zhen is different. She comes from a wealthy family and is not on the same level as Zhao Meilan. People like her like to collect antiques and buy cultural relics.

Zhen Zhen went with Zhao Meilan. This elder sister didn't look like she came from a wealthy family.

She didn't even know that the bracelet was a good thing and actually sold the jadeite as jade.

Zhen Zhen said calmly: "How much do you want?"

The elder sister smiled and said, "Not much, 500 yuan!"

"Five hundred dollars?"

Zhen Zhen glanced at Zhao Meilan, who immediately said it was expensive and asked her elder sister to make it cheaper.

"Isn't your husband waiting for treatment? The disease cost him a hundred yuan. My sister likes the bracelet, but she doesn't have that much cash. You can give me a discount and we can pay and get the goods." Zhao Meilan said.

The eldest sister was obviously a little shaken. This bracelet was indeed not passed down from her ancestors. She took advantage of the chaos in the world a few years ago and stole it from the home of a couple of intellectuals who committed suicide. She felt guilty about stealing something and did not dare to use it.

Some time ago, her husband fell ill and always said that it was caused by this bracelet. He asked my elder sister to sell the bracelet so that he wouldn't be worried about it.

The eldest sister had no choice but to sell it.

There are few wealthy people in the county these days, and no one is willing to spend five hundred yuan to buy an inedible jade bracelet.

The elder sister was afraid that if she missed this opportunity, she would lose this shop. After thinking about it, she said:

"The lowest price is 480! Don't bully me because I don't know much. I asked someone before I came here. This bracelet has good water content and can be sold for at least 800 yuan."

Zhao Meilan glanced at Zhen Zhen and said, "How about less, four hundred and fifty?"

"Too low, at least four hundred and seventy."

"Four hundred and sixty, right? Let's make a deal. We'll take the money and the goods."

The eldest sister thought about it and felt that selling the stolen items for 470 yuan was not a big loss, so she agreed.

Zhen Zhen bought the bracelets and the more she looked at them, the more she thought they were good things. From her unprofessional point of view, this pair of bracelets could easily buy two courtyard houses.

As soon as she parked her bike, she saw Meng Li holding the candy cookies that Old Lady Meng had just made and waving at her, "Auntie, you're finally back."

The happiest person in the entire Meng family would be Meng Li.

Jiang Dongping made nearly two million by relying on his brain. The thing had low cost and almost all of it was profit.

Jiang Dongping brought the passbook home to show Meng Li, who couldn't believe it at all.

Two million? Oh my god! How did the money come so fast?

Meng Li has been afraid to go out recently for fear of being robbed.

She didn't dare go back to Batou Village, for fear that the people from Batou Village would come and extort money from her.

She didn't dare go to work in the factory, fearing that she would let the cat out of the bag and be reported, so she simply took two months of sick leave.

"Auntie, why do I feel this is so unreal?"

Meng Li felt uneasy and could only talk to Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "This little bit of money is not real? If I make 20 million in the future, that will be unbelievable!"

"Twenty million?" Meng Li would never dare to dream of such a big amount. "Oh my God, do rich people have to be so nervous?"

Now that she has money, Meng Li doesn't want to go to work anymore, but Zhen Zhen disagrees with her being a full-time housewife.

"Don't stay idle at home. The essence of marriage is the exchange of values. Don't blame your aunt for saying bad things. Although Jiang Dongping is a good person, you can't bet on a man's conscience. Only when your career develops well and you check and control each other, can your marriage last."

Meng Li took Zhen Zhen's words to heart and said, "Last time you suggested that I open a night school or a computer training class. I want to work hard in this direction."

"Don't worry, take your time to think about it."

Meng Daguo asked for a lucky charm for Zhen Zhen, and Zhen Zhen hung it on the window. Every time when she worked at her desk, she could look up and see the charm swaying gently in the wind.

Time passed by so easily, and in the blink of an eye it was 1987.

During the past four years, Meng Xi's diving performance has been outstanding. He was promoted from the city diving team to the provincial team, and was also spotted by the national team. He is preparing to participate in next year's Seoul Olympics.
