Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1121: The End of the Alley People.

On July 1997, 7, the tenth day after Hong Kong's return to China, another major event took place in the courtyard.

After years of hard work, Xiang Pengfei bought two houses in the most expensive community in Suzhou, one for himself and one for his parents to live in after they retire.

According to the prices of these two houses, Xiang Pengfei could actually buy them directly in Shanghai. The main reason was that Zhuang Hualin's lifelong wish was to return to Suzhou. For her, Suzhou was the place that carried all her childhood memories. No matter how developed or good other places were, they were not home.

Xiang Pengfei only invited two families from the courtyard to his housewarming party. According to Xiang Pengfei, only these people would be sincerely happy for him. The others said congratulations but secretly wanted to stab him in the back.

"Pengfei, this house is great, with great lighting, ventilation, and nice decoration. It's much better than ours." Huang Ling looked around and was even more excited than Zhuang Tunan when he bought the house.

Xiang Pengfei smiled and said, "Aunt, if you like it, this house is for you."

"What nonsense is this kid talking about? You are already in your twenties and you have a house to marry in. Hurry up and find a girlfriend and get married. This way, Hualin will have to worry less."

"My mother is nagging you again?"

"Don't think Hualin is nagging. She is doing this for your own good."

Xiang Pengfei lowered his voice and said, "Aunt, I actually have a partner."

"When did it happen? Why didn't Hualin ever tell me about it?" Huang Ling's face was full of surprise.

"I haven't told my mother either. Only Brother Hao and my aunt know about this." Xiang Pengfei scratched his head embarrassedly.

Huang Ling asked, "Is she a local girl from Suzhou?"

"Well, her family conditions are quite good, much better than ours..."

Huang Ling then found out that the parents of the girlfriend Xiang Pengfei was dating were leaders of government agencies. At first, he felt a little inferior and didn't dare to contact the girl. Later, Qin Hao encouraged him to pursue her boldly, and he just met the girl's parents recently.

"How do her parents feel about you?"

"It's OK. He told me to arrange to see my parents as soon as possible."

"This is a double happiness." Huang Ling was genuinely happy for him. She had long treated Xiang Pengfei as her own child.

A week later, the parents of both sides met, and Xiang Pengfei and Zhou Xiaoli held their wedding on August 15, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed. After entering the 21st century, the Zhuang family's life became even more difficult to sustain. Grandpa Zhuang suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, requiring a large amount of medical expenses. Zhuang Chaoying's salary and the couple's pension were basically all spent on it.

Zhuang Ganmei's family is not much better off. Ever since the two brothers Zhuang Zhendong and Zhuang Zhenbei were laid off, they have been hanging out with some shady street thugs. Although they were lucky enough not to be sentenced, their reputation was ruined. They were idle and did not work every day. How could the girls from good families look down on these two brothers?

As they were about to turn 30, Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang Ganmei emptied their family savings to arrange a marriage for the two brothers, but the girls required that they have a house.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang Ganmei gritted their teeth and drove Grandpa and Grandma Zhuang out.

Zhuang Chaoying couldn't stand it anymore, so he argued with Zhuang Ganmei. As a result, the two brothers started fighting. Zhuang Chaoying was no match for Zhuang Ganmei and was beaten without any chance to fight back. In the end, the police arrived and pulled Zhuang Ganmei apart.

It was only then that Zhuang Chaoying realized that his parents' house had long been transferred to Zhuang Ganmei.

Legally speaking, Zhuang Ganmei is the owner of the house.

"You damned bastard, you deserve a horrible death. How could you use such despicable means to deal with your biological parents?" Grandma Zhuang crawled on the ground, crying and making a fuss.

Zhuang Ganmei said nonchalantly, "Mom, I learned all these tricks from you. You used the same method to deal with my eldest brother's family, but my eldest sister-in-law didn't let you succeed."

"What a sin! How could we give birth to such a heartless thing like you..." Grandma Zhuang burst into tears. Grandpa Zhuang had a stroke and was paralyzed on one side of his body, but his dark face was enough to show how angry he was.

"Old lady, please stop calling us beasts. We are doing this for our children. Aren't Zhendong and Zhenbei your good grandchildren? If you make sacrifices for them, it will also help the family continue to be prosperous."

Although the neighbors were disgusted by the behavior of Zhuang Ganmei and his wife, no one wanted to stand up for them. On the one hand, they had a bad reputation for a long time, and on the other hand, Zhuang Ganmei's family was not easy to mess with. If a fight broke out between these two unruly street urchins, they would be the ones who would suffer.

In the end, Zhuang Chaoying could only find a cart and a house for Grandpa and Grandma Zhuang to live in, and they lived as a family of three again.

But this made life even more difficult for the three of them. Originally, Mr. Zhuang's stroke medicine was enough for them to live on, and now there was the additional cost of rent. Zhuang Chaoying could only swallow his pride and go to the street to sell tea eggs after get off work.

After Xiang Pengfei found out, he would ask someone to buy fifty tea eggs every day and bring them to the company to treat his subordinates.

His wife Zhou Xiaoli asked curiously: "Why do you do this secretly when you are helping others?"

"My uncle values ​​face the most in his life. If we give him money directly, he will just feel ashamed."

"But I heard that Aunt Huang and Uncle..."

"My uncle did do a lot to let my aunt down, but he never let me down. My second uncle and my grandparents refused to let me go back to Suzhou, but my uncle risked divorcing my aunt to take me home. My aunt fought against my uncle, and I had to side with her. Now they have divorced and my aunt has let it go. I have to repay my uncle for the favor."

However, Zhuang Chaoying soon noticed this "big customer". After some indirect questioning, he finally learned that it was Xiang Pengfei who bought his tea eggs behind his back. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

After that day, there was no longer a down-and-out middle-aged man pushing a cart selling tea eggs in the market.

Time flies, and it is already 2008.

On this day, Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting both received letters from Zhuang Chaoying. Only then did they learn that Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Zhuang had passed away in 2002 and 2005 respectively, and that he had stomach cancer and would soon die.

On the hospital bed, Zhuang Chaoying lay with his body as thin as a piece of firewood. Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting stood in front of the bed with mixed feelings.

"Tunan, Xiaoting, Daddy owes you a lot in this life, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. I just hope to see you one last time before I die, and that will be enough."

At Zhuang Chaoying's funeral, after Qin Hao presented Zhuang Chaoying with a wreath, he stood aside. Suddenly, a mechanical and cold voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding, the system has detected that the main storyline of the "Alley People" world has been completed. Do you want to load the next world? ]

"What world is next?"

[Next world: Nine-fold purple, do you want to load it? ]

"Loading."

When Qin Hao opened his eyes again, he was already in a magnificent residence. Under him was a large carved mahogany bed. The bed curtains were made of brocade woven in Shu, with exquisite embroidery, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects embroidered on them were vivid. On the low table beside the bed, a furnace of incense was burning slowly, and curls of green smoke rose up. A pure and elegant fragrance came to his face. Such high-quality spices were comparable to gold.

"It looks like a powerful family has been arranged for you this time?"

A memory surged out from the depths of Qin Hao's mind.

The good news is that this time the system has arranged an identity of a prince for him in the "Nine-Layer Purple World". The bad news is that this prince is not favored by the emperor and is regarded as a thorn in the side by Queen Wan.

The original owner was named Zhu Youhao, and was the product of an accidental union between the emperor and a palace maid. Until Qin Hao traveled through time, the original owner had seen the emperor less than five times in total.

Empress Wan was the most favored concubine in the harem. She was also ambitious and wanted to make her own son Zhu Youting the crown prince. Fortunately, the emperor had few children and only three sons survived, otherwise the original owner might have died one day.

Of course, the most important reason was that there was the prince as a target. In order to demonstrate her own grace and magnanimity, Queen Wan not only did not blame the original owner, but gave him many preferential treatments. This was also the reason why he, an unappreciated prince, could live in such a luxurious residence.

According to the original owner's memory, this is the eighth year of Chengping, and the original owner was born in the first year of Chengping, which means he is eight years old this year.

"An unpopular prince, interesting."

The emperor's health deteriorated after being poisoned by Queen Wan, the crown prince was a sharp-tongued fool with no means, and Prince Qing was ambitious but incompetent, and he messed up a good hand.

Qin Hao raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. This was forcing him to rebel.

No, it was clearly a rebellion to quell the rebellion. If a son rebelled against his father, can that be called rebellion?
"Your Majesty is here!"

A sharp voice came from outside the hall, with great penetrating power, and faintly giving a feeling of "tiger and leopard thunder sound". It was obvious that this person was a master who had practiced internal martial arts to the extreme.

"Hao'er, I heard that you have been ill recently and have not been to Wenhua Hall for ten days. How are you recovering now?"

A middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe stepped into the hall, his tone revealing displeasure.

Qin Hao then remembered that the original owner was an unlearned dandy who especially disliked literary skills. After being punished by Mr. Liu from the Wenhua Palace once, he simply claimed to be sick and didn't go. Unexpectedly, he was caught by his cheap father today.

"Father, the child is actually not sick."

The emperor was obviously stunned, then frowned: "You are so brave."

"Father, on the contrary, I am too timid. That's why I dare not go to Wenhua Palace without claiming to be sick." Qin Hao pretended to answer cautiously.

The emperor frowned and said, "This is ridiculous. If you don't explain the reason today, I will punish you severely."

"Father, I heard that before me, I had seven brothers. Why are there only two left now?"

The emperor's face suddenly turned as dark as ink, his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, and his voice was low and majestic, as if it was wrapped in rolling thunder: "You are so young, don't talk nonsense here and make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the court!"

"Don't you think it's strange, father? Only 50% of ordinary children die young. Your father is the richest man in the world. He has famous doctors, medicinal herbs, and the maids, eunuchs, and nannies who serve him are all experts in their fields. How could the princes die so frequently?"

The emperor's eyes flashed with shock and anger, and his clenched fists trembled slightly: "You are so bold and rebellious. How dare you slander the queen? Do you know your crime?"

"Father, I have never mentioned the Empress, please don't accuse me wrongly." Qin Hao pretended to be terrified, but he made the emperor laugh.

"So, it's still my fault?"

The emperor did not intend to pursue this question any further, but changed the subject: "So you don't go to Wenhua Hall to take classes because you are afraid of revealing your talent and causing a disaster?"

Qin Hao was about to answer when the emperor glared at him and said, "If you continue to flatter me, I will punish you severely."

Helpless, Qin Hao had to hold his head high and said confidently: "Reporting to the emperor, it is indeed so."

"Oh? So I was wrong about you?"

"Children don't dare."

"Hmph, please prepare your pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to see what amazing talent you have that you have hidden here."

Qin Hao slowly stood up, walked steadily to the desk, reached out and steadily picked up the brush, and dipped it into the inkstone. He held his breath, gently turned his wrist, and the tip of the brush moved like a dragon and a snake on the white rice paper.

"I am an old man, but I am still as wild as a young man. I hold Huang on my left and Cang on my right. I wear a brocade hat and a sable coat, and ride with a thousand riders on the plain. I draw a bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf in the sky."

"Good poem. Every time I read Su Shi's poem, I have new insights. As for these characters..." The emperor originally wanted to find some flaws to dampen the boy's enthusiasm, but the exquisite Yan style calligraphy made it impossible for him to find any flaws.

"It's a good handwriting, and it doesn't disgrace this beautiful poem. It's just that I remember your usual handwriting..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Hao held the pen in his left hand and deliberately wrote a few very sloppy words.

"Slippery."

The more the emperor read, the more he thought the words were beautiful, but he still kept a straight face: "Humph, don't be fooled by evil words in the future. You are a prince, and you are in the imperial city, the safest place in the world. If you still worry about your own safety, isn't it ridiculous?"

"From today on, you must study harder and not slack off any more." The emperor looked serious and looked at Qin Hao with sharp eyes. "If you deceive me again, I will not forgive you easily!"

"I obey your command." Qin Hao pretended to be helpless.

The emperor thought for a moment and said to the eunuch Wang beside him, "The results of this imperial examination will be announced soon. Let's choose a teacher for Hao'er who is both virtuous and talented."

"Father, can I choose my own teacher?"

The emperor was so angry that he said, "How can father harm you?"

"Father, I have the Crown Prince who is kind and generous, and I have Prince Qing who is talented and brilliant. I just want to live a stable life, so it's better not to stand out. If you choose a teacher for your child, it's better to avoid those who have passed the imperial examinations and just choose someone who is average." Qin Hao pretended to be "I'm a coward".

"Humph, you're always good at playing tricks. You should find a teacher to help you cure your self-righteousness!"

"Farewell to my father."

Looking at the cheap old man's departing back, Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly. He thought that this should leave a deep impression on this cheap old man, right?
