Chen Jixing looked at her with a smile and whispered, "Don't tell anyone, or I'll fine you one thousand yuan."
"Who are you telling this to?" Chen Xingling pouted, "Stop showing off. I will definitely be richer than you guys in the future!"
Chen Jixing laughed and put his arms around her neck.
"Tuo, Fourth Brother is waiting for you to make a fortune, and then come to show off in front of me."
Chen Xingling snuggled in his arms and whispered, "Fourth Brother, if you really don't have any plans, why don't you listen to me? I'll help you plan."
"Sure!" Chen Jixing laughed excitedly, "I'm sure you're the right person to come to me! You said you can go to college and do business at the same time. When you came back at the beginning of the year, you needed help from your brothers. Now it's not the end of the year yet, and they all have to come to you to make money and rely on you to take care of them. I'll ask you for advice and keep it safe!"
Chen Xingling lowered his voice and said, "First of all, my sister-in-law is a returned overseas Chinese. Chongqing has many preferential policies for overseas Chinese. We must understand them clearly and then make use of these policies to invest."
"Investment...what?" Chen Jixing asked tentatively.
Chen Xingling replied: "In my opinion, Yucheng's land resources are the most worthy of investment, and the other is the foreign trade market."
"Land? Foreign trade?" Chen Jixing smiled bitterly: "Our company's ships are all used to transport goods to the sea, but the company is a large enterprise in the province. How can we, a small minority, invest in it?"
Chen Xingling blinked and whispered, "You have worked there for more than ten years. You have connections everywhere. This is also one of your assets. Don't waste it. We can't invest, but can we sell our products through your company? And sister-in-law is the most critical person."
Chen Jixing was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Xingling pointed outward and explained, "The owner of our construction site is an old overseas Chinese who returned to China. He was able to buy land and build here mainly because of the preferential policies for overseas Chinese. Every time he comes, Dali and I will chat with him. He said that the Chongqing government encourages overseas Chinese to return to their hometowns to invest and encourages them to serve as a bridge for foreign trade, and provides many conveniences."
"Oh." Chen Jixing couldn't help but ask, "What exactly does he know?"
Chen Xingling replied, "These are not difficult. We will know soon after we ask. Old Liao said that if he were not too old, he would be able to dominate the business world in no time if the policy was changed. He told his descendants abroad to come back and invest when they have time, and one or two of them agreed. In fact, he did not want to live in such a large garden, but built it so magnificently and beautifully so that his descendants would have a good environment when they return to China to start a business in the future."
"Oh." Chen Jixing asked again: "Then what should we do now?"
Chen Xingling replied: "No hurry, I'll take you to consult first. By the way, you need to find time to apply for your Overseas Chinese Certificate. Don't miss any place you need to go, and try to get it done as soon as possible."
"......." Chen Jixing nodded hesitantly.
Chen Xingling pulled him up and said, "Don't think too much about it. I'll take you to see a professional for consultation."
"Oh? Yeah!" Chen Jixing took out the car keys and asked, "Will it delay your work?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "It's okay for the time being. My partner is over there, the workers can go to him if they have any problems. Wait, I'll talk to him."
Then she explained to Ma Dali that she had to go out for a while and might be back at noon.
Ma Dali also recognized Chen Jixing and nodded in greeting.
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
Chen Jixing and his sister got on their motorcycles and set off in a hurry.
In the next few days, Chen Xingling took his fourth brother running in and out, and they ran around almost all of Yucheng, even along the river and the coast. Both of them got a lot of tan.
On the first day of winter, according to the old tradition in Chongqing, every household eats rice and stewed meat to prepare for fattening up for the coming winter.
Chen Xingling carried a large pile of meat out from the super space, and gave one piece each to Zhao Xiaoxing and Ma Dali, and two large pig's trotters to his mother's family. His family prepared a free-range chicken, which they planned to stew in the evening.
"Mom, what are these little red things?" Little Tiger squatted aside and asked curiously.
Chen Xingling replied: "These are tonics - wolfberries. Add them to the pot and stew with the chicken. It will take about two hours to cook."
Little Tiger swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Mom, hurry up! I can't wait any longer!"
"Yes!" Chen Xingling said with a smile, "Turn up the heat a bit, and we'll be able to eat in an hour and a half."
Little Tiger clapped happily.
At this time, Gu Qi came out.
In winter, Chongqing is a little chilly in the morning and evening. Gu Qi occasionally wears a thin long-sleeved shirt, but most of the time he still wears a short-sleeved shirt and military-colored trousers.
He smiled and explained, "We're going to have stewed meat tonight, so let's have something light for dinner. The porridge is already cooked, do you want to stir-fry a dish?"
"No." Chen Xingling shook his head tiredly: "Let's have some pickles or salted duck eggs, so we don't have to wash the vegetables and pots after cooking."
Gu Qi laughed softly: "Well, let me wash some salted duck eggs and cook them."
My mother-in-law raises a lot of ducks, and the ducks lay a lot of eggs. Every year, the family pickles several large jars of salted duck eggs. The old lady is experienced, and the pickled duck eggs are oily and especially fragrant.
Each of the brothers in the family got a jar, and they also got one. He and Xiao Huzi liked to eat it very much, and they would cook a few every two or three days.
Chen Xingling leaned against the tree trunk and watched him wash the duck eggs lazily.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Xingling narrowed his eyes and answered with a grin, "Look at your hands. They are white, slender, with distinct joints, and you work elegantly and methodically."
Gu Qi's ears turned slightly red.
Little Tiger, who was playing on the grass nearby, raised his round little head and said loudly: "Every time Dad works, Mom always praises him in different ways. After being praised, Dad works harder. Look! Now my dad is doing all the housework!"
Chen Xingling laughed loudly: "Boy! How dare you expose your mother's tricks! Are you tired of living? Come! Watch me kill you!"
After saying this, she attacked her son's "straight" waist with both hands, tickling it in various ways.
Little Tiger was forced to laugh out loud.
Gu Qi looked at his wife and children playing on the grass, a smile unconsciously spread across his brows, and his heart was filled with sweetness and warmth.
Such days are plain but not beautiful, quiet but not fulfilling.
——Really!
"Dad!" Little Tiger ran over happily and asked, "We need to eat stewed chicken in winter. What about grandma and aunt?"
Gu Qi replied calmly: "Your grandmother should be able to prepare it."
My mother loves meat the most. Since she moved to the shipyard, she has been eating fatty food every day. I saw her from a distance a few days ago and found that she has gained a lot of weight recently.
The elderly cannot be too fat, otherwise it is bad for their health. I have advised her before, but she didn't listen at all, and she said that if she didn't eat meat, her hands and legs would be weak and she would have no strength to work.
She now runs around and plays mahjong every day. I don’t know how she has time to work or what kind of work she does.
Chen Xingling ruffled his son's hair and said, "Don't worry about grandma and the others. When our chicken is cooked, ask your dad to bring some food to them."
Gu Qi smiled slightly and whispered, "Yes, we can send some to Guodong."
After saying this, he picked up the washed duck eggs and went back to the kitchen.
"Oh my!" Little Tiger said crisply, "Grandma will definitely be very happy. However, Aunt Xuan can have it, but Aunt Miao probably can't."
Forehead?
Chen Xingling asked curiously: "Why?"
Little Tiger replied: "This morning when I was looking for my dad after school, I saw Aunt Miao running out of our previous home with a snakeskin bag in her hand. I called her and she looked at me as if she wanted to talk. Then that scoundrel came by on his bicycle and took her away in a hurry."
"Dead?" Chen Xingling suddenly felt something was wrong.
Little Tiger nodded, "Towards the shipyard's main gate, not the north gate."
Chen Xingling squatted down and asked, "What's in her snakeskin bag? Did you see it clearly?"
"It looks like clothes." Little Tiger replied, "Er Liuzi told my aunt to hurry up, otherwise the boat would leave. My aunt is late on the boat and won't be able to eat stewed meat in the evening."
Chen Xingling frowned secretly and shouted quickly: "Aqi! Aqi!"
