Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1168 Double Happiness
One day in mid-July, Qin Hao was still at work when he suddenly received a call from He Jiawen.

"The fourth child's acceptance letter has arrived, and Dad is going to give it a good party."

After many years, the He family had another college student. He Changsheng was extremely happy and held his head high wherever he went. The Liu family next door was also very happy as they also had two college students. Zhang Qiulin, like He Jiahuan, was admitted to Hefei University of Technology.

Originally, Ouyang Bao wanted to take the opportunity to show off by treating everyone to a meal at Jin Man Lou, but Qin Hao told him to give up the idea as soon as he heard it.

"First of all, you and the third brother haven't gotten married yet, so you shouldn't be asked to spend money on this. Secondly, it's not good to have it too grand. Jin Man Lou is of such a high standard, how much red envelope should you ask people to give? Too little will be embarrassing, and too much will make you feel bad. Besides, our family has set a precedent, so how will other families prepare wedding banquets? If it's bad, it will be embarrassing, but if it's good, it will be a burden. It's better to hold it at home."

He Changsheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, they all belong to our neighbors, there is no need to be so extravagant."

Ouyang Bao scratched his head. He didn't expect that treating someone to a dinner involves so many details.

He Jiayi took the opportunity to teach him a lesson: "Don't always act like a nouveau riche in the future. Learn more from your second brother-in-law."

"Oh, I should study hard."

Seeing Ouyang Bao's obedient look, He Changsheng nodded with satisfaction. At least Qin Hao was right about one thing, the third son-in-law really had nothing to say about the third brother. Now he was a little worried that the third brother would bully his son-in-law.

"Jia Huan, this is the gift your sister and I picked for you. See if you like it."

He Jiahuan took the gift box and kept thanking him before even opening it.

"You haven't opened it yet, how do you know if you like it? Lao Si, I'll help you open it."

Just as Liu Xiaoling was about to reach out her hand, He Jiahuan slapped her away: "You are the one who called me the Fourth Sister. Besides, this is a gift from my Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law. Why are you the one who opens it?"

"You are so stingy. See what happened." Liu Xiaoling muttered while rubbing the back of her red hand.

After He Jiahuan opened the gift box, he exclaimed.

"Wow, it's a Walkman, and it's a Sony. Brother-in-law, this must have cost a lot of money, right?"

He Jiawen smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

He Jiaxi was so jealous that he whispered to Liu Xiaoling, "Du Qianqian in our class also has this brand of Walkman. It costs more than a thousand yuan."

"More than a thousand yuan? So expensive?"

Liu Xiaoling lost control and screamed, which caused a sensation in the whole family.

Liu Meixin took it in surprise and said, "Such a small thing is sold for more than a thousand yuan? Isn't it just a smaller Sanyo?"

"Mom, what do you know? This is called a Walkman. You can carry it with you and play tapes. It's very fashionable. Who carries a Sanyo around everywhere now?" He Jiahuan snatched it back and held it carefully in his arms, afraid that someone would snatch it away again.

He Changsheng frowned: "Haozi, this is almost half a year's salary for you..."

"Dad, it's okay. We promised to give our fourth daughter a special gift to encourage her to get into a good university. Besides, Haozi just made some extra money recently, so he has enough money to buy her a Walkman."

After hearing what He Jiawen said, He Jia said happily: "Then second sister, second brother-in-law, I won't be polite."

He Changsheng shook his head and said, "You have all spoiled this girl."

He Jiali and Zhang Jianguo looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Haozi's gift makes our gifts look shabby."

"Sister, brother-in-law, have you prepared gifts for me too? Show them to me quickly. I'm a greedy person. I like all gifts." He Jiahuan took He Jiali's arm and acted coquettishly.

He Jiali took out a rectangular gift box, and He Jiahuan opened it and saw a red woolen coat.

"Wow, this dress is so beautiful, I love it so much, thank you, sister, thank you, brother-in-law."

He Jiali touched He Jiahuan's head and said half-jokingly, "When the fourth child was young, she was very quiet. I was afraid that she would be too withdrawn, but I didn't expect that she would become more and more lively in recent years."

After hearing what He Jiali said, He Changsheng subconsciously looked at Qin Hao. Over the years, the person who had the greatest influence on the fourth child was not him, the father, but Qin Hao. Every summer vacation, He Jiahuan would listen to Qin Hao's tutoring next door, so it was hard to say that he was not influenced by him in some subtle way.

He Jiayi and Ouyang Bao also prepared a gift for He Jiahuan, which was a scarf.

"Don't be disgusted, Lao Si. This scarf cost me two months' salary."

"Thank you, Third Sister, and thank you, Third Brother-in-law."

"Why are you thanking him for the money I spent?"

"Haha~~~"

Everyone burst into laughter, and after lunch, they began to prepare for the evening banquet.

Since pork no longer requires meat tickets, organizing a banquet is no longer as difficult as before, where one no longer had to look for meat tickets everywhere. The He family has many girls, two sons-in-law, and one future son-in-law, so they basically don't need help from outsiders to organize a banquet.

However, around five o'clock, Qin Hao and Zhang Jianguo would be responsible for entertaining the guests. As the most prominent sons-in-law of the He family, He Changsheng would push them to the front no matter what kind of banquet it was.

Ouyang Bao was very envious of this: "One day, I will also make my father look at me with new eyes."

"Why are you being lazy? Hurry up and serve the dishes. They will be finished eating soon."

He Jiayi shouted, pulling Ouyang Bao out of his fantasy, and hurriedly went to serve the dishes.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and He Changsheng got drunk again as expected.

The guests had all left, leaving only the He family to clean up the mess.

Ouyang Bao was just about to take a break. Just as he was holding his waist and finding a place to squat, he was patted on the shoulder.

"Second brother-in-law, you scared me. I thought it was Jiayi."

When Ouyang Bao saw that it was Qin Hao, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Hao laughed: "You have been controlled by the third brother for your whole life."

"Hehe, others don't have this blessing yet." Ouyang Bao grinned foolishly.

This is true. Apart from anything else, the third brother’s appearance and figure are impeccable.

"Ouyang, are you still dealing in down feathers?"

Ouyang Bao answered honestly: "I'm still working on it. I can't do anything else."

"I have a business that I want to partner with you. I wonder if you are interested."

In recent years, it is true that dealing in down feathers can make money, but in a few years, Ouyang Bao will lose all his family fortune because of this. Qin Hao is preparing to help Ouyang Bao, and at the same time, he is also planning to support Ouyang Bao to become his own white glove.

After all, he is now pursuing a career in politics, and if he doesn't engage in corruption, his family will inevitably live a tight life.

"I'm so interested. Brother-in-law, please tell us about the business." Ouyang Bao looked impatient. Although he had never been to college, he knew that cadres like Qin Hao had access to much more information than ordinary people.

Qin Hao patted his shoulder, motioned him to sit down first, and then said seriously.

"For this business, I don't invest any money or put in any effort, but I want to take 30% of the net profit. You have to think it through."

Although the conditions seemed harsh, Ouyang Bao agreed immediately without saying a word.

"My second brother-in-law's way these days is money. I'll accept it even if it's 30%, not to mention 40%."

Qin Hao lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know about treasury bonds?"

"I know. My dad brought back a lot of them when I was a kid. I felt uncomfortable using them to wipe my butt... What do you mean, second brother-in-law?"

Qin Hao nodded. After all, he was a businessman, so his reaction was quite quick.

"Yes, I have a channel to exchange treasury bonds, but it is not convenient for me to show up, and I don't have that much capital..."

Before he could finish his words, Ouyang Bao's eyes lit up. Almost every household had a lot of treasury bonds, which were all allocated by their units in the early years. Most people thought that these were just a way to deduct wages in various ways, and never thought that treasury bonds could be exchanged for money.

"Brother-in-law, do you want me to collect treasury bonds and then exchange them for cash?" Ouyang Bao was so excited that his hands were shaking.

He couldn't even imagine how big the profit was.

"That's right, but we can't do it in a big way right now. We have to be secretive."

Qin Hao reminded that treasury bonds were not allowed to be listed and circulated until 1988. Before that, they were actually allowed to be exchanged, but if an individual exchanged too many, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, and no family could own so many treasury bonds.

However, if the exchange is made in the name of an organization, there won't be so many concerns. Of course, most people don't have such a relationship. But for Qin Hao, it's a piece of cake. With his current status, it's just a matter of a phone call.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Even if I'm caught, I won't betray you."

Seeing Ouyang Bao's fearless expression, Qin Hao laughed: "It's not as serious as you think. You just need to collect the treasury bonds and then exchange them. I will arrange the rest for you."

Ouyang Bao's action ability was much stronger than Qin Hao had imagined. After only one week, he obtained treasury bonds with a face value of more than 30,000 yuan. He bought all these treasury bonds at a 70% discount on the bargain price.

"Second brother-in-law, you don't know that when I went to collect the treasury bonds, people stared at me as if I were a fool, fearing that I would not accept them."

Including interest, the total value of more than 30,000 treasury bonds is more than 40,000, and the cost is only more than 10,000, and this is only one week's profit.

"This is easier than picking up money."

Ouyang Bao was completely convinced, and privately told He Jiayi: "When we have a child in the future, we must let him study and work in a government department after graduating from university."

"Who wants to have a baby with you? Stop being so conceited."

Although He Jiayi said this, she still held her wedding with Ouyang Bao in October. This time it was Ouyang Bao's turn to make the decision. Plus, he had just made a lot of money, so he arranged the wedding banquet at Jin Man Lou. It was so lavish that all the guests were stunned.

At the banquet, He Jiawen suddenly started to dry heave. He Jiali, who was standing nearby, was immediately surprised and called Qin Hao, who was still helping to entertain the guests, over.

Qin Hao held He Jiawen's wrist and said, "You are really pregnant."

"Honey, we're going to have a baby."

He Jiayi and Ouyang Bao also rushed over after hearing this.

"Brother-in-law, this is a double blessing."

He Jiayi touched He Jiawen's still very flat belly: "Second sister, how do you feel?"

"You'll know when you get pregnant." He Jiawen said with a smile.

……

Time flies, and it was summer 1985 in a blink of an eye.

In the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Municipal Hospital, He Changsheng paced back and forth anxiously at the door of the delivery room.

"Can you please stop turning around? You're making me dizzy." Liu Meixin complained.

He Changsheng was restless: "It's been so long since I went in, why is there still no news? Nothing has happened, right?"

"Bah~~~ Bad things don't work, but good things do."

Grandma He also said to He Changsheng: "Changsheng, just calm down for a while. You are so old, but you are not as steady as the second uncle."

He Changsheng looked at Qin Hao who was standing at the door of the delivery room and said with a wry smile: "Haozi is indeed a cadre. I am just a rough guy and cannot compare with him."

"Dad, I'm actually quite nervous too."

He had to be nervous. The level of medical care in China in the 80s really made him worried, otherwise he would not have gone so far to go to the city hospital to give birth.

As they were talking, the door of the delivery room opened.

Qin Hongqi and Zhou Guilan, an elderly couple, immediately rushed forward until the nurse called out, "Is He Jiawen's family here? Both mother and child are safe."

"Mother and child are safe, it's a boy."

"Oh, thank God, may Buddha bless you."

Since it was a normal birth, He Jiawen was taken home to recuperate three days later. Not only was she taken care of by her mother-in-law Zhou Guilan, but He Sheungsheng and Liu Meixin, who lived next door, also often came to help.

Qin Hao named the child "Qin Ming". When the child was one month old, his unit allocated him a three-bedroom house in the city.

According to Qin Hongqi and Zhou Guilan, the child came at the right time, otherwise if there was no child, they would only be able to get a two-bedroom apartment.

It was also in this summer that Liu Xiaoling graduated, and He Changsheng arranged a job for her at the handicraft factory.

"Look at you, you're still laughing foolishly. What's so good about working in a crappy factory? Look at your third sister, she's now a formal employee of the township government."

He Jiaxi was naturally not really standing up for Liu Xiaoling, but he saw his own future in Liu Xiaoling.

"What can I do? My dad doesn't want me to trouble my second brother-in-law." Liu Xiaoling didn't care at all. As long as she could have a formal job so that she wouldn't be embarrassed in front of her classmates and friends, it would be enough.

He Jiaxi curled his lips and said, "It sounds like my second brother-in-law is happy to take care of us."

"I can see that my second brother-in-law is very nice to my eldest sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister, but he treats us like they were raised by a stepmother and doesn't want to pay any attention to us at all."

Liu Xiaoling was a little unhappy when she heard this: "Yes, now that my third sister is married and my fourth sister is in college, my second brother-in-law comes home less often than before."

In fact, it was mainly because he was allocated a house that He Jiawen felt it was more convenient to live in the city, so he naturally came back less often when he had nothing to do.

"No, I have to think of a way. I can't let my dad just give me a factory quota."

After much thought, He Jiaxi could only confide in Liu Meixin. She realized that Liu Meixin was the only one in the family who fell for her tricks.
