Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China
Chapter 35 Worry about the Future
At 7: the next morning, the old man took Li Zihang out to visit relatives and friends and clansmen.
Throughout the winter in Beijing, the temperature was around minus 10 degrees Celsius. Going out was really a torture. At least there were heated beds and stoves at home.
Li Zihang, who was sitting in the carriage under the roof, was freezing. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to the old man, "Grandpa! Logically speaking, with our family's wealth, even if we are not among the top few in the city, we are still ranked among the best."
"But! You either go out in a carriage or a bicycle. Why can't you get a car so that your grandson can enjoy the luxury?"
The old man, who was rubbing his hands from the cold, exhaled hot air and said, "Oh! Young Master Sun, you can't stand it anymore."
Li Zihang didn't want to argue with the old man: "Grandpa, I'm serious. Please don't joke."
The old man said: "What's wrong with riding a carriage? What's wrong with riding a bicycle? Grandson, look at the village outside the carriage. There are not many decent houses. Except for those landlords, every family lives in poverty."
"Besides, look at those government officials. Even high-ranking officials ride bicycles to get around. How many of them ride cars?
In the past few years, I have read various books and understood their thoughts.
I just realized it now. Considering the wind direction in recent years, I, your grandfather, was trembling with fear and treading on thin ice. Every step I took and every decision I made was made with great caution. "
"Don't be fooled by the people in the city who live in Western-style buildings and drive cars. Sooner or later, something bad will happen to them. They are still considered to be the demise of the country."
"They eat a lot of fish and meat every day and don't know how to restrain themselves. They still act like they used to. Look at the lives of ordinary people and government officials. Compare them with those guys who don't know how to restrain themselves. Doesn't this make people hate them?"
What was our government called in the past?
(Poor People's Party)
Think about the situation in our home. The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Li Zihang fell into deep thought after listening to his grandfather's words.
"Grandpa, my family has the blessing of my parents so we won't be left alone in that situation."
The old man said something meaningful.
"Who knows~ It's better to keep a low profile."
"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. The happier it jumps, the faster it dies."
The dog driving the cart had crystals on his eyebrows.
The grandfather and grandson were silent in the car, each thinking about their own things. After more than two hours of driving, the three finally arrived home.
Uncle Qi and Grandpa were tinkering around at home, lighting the stove and heating up the water.
Li Zihang, on the other hand, was in his own room, observing the flock of birds in the birdhouse.
Mynah bird, seeing Li Zihang, spoke directly to him: "Where have you been, where have you been?"
Li Zihang said to Mr. Ba angrily: "I don't need to tell you where I'm going."
Master Ba was in the bird house, jumping up and down. He fluttered and said, "I'm freezing to death. I'm freezing to death."
The other birds were not as active as usual. They all stayed in their nests. The two golden turtles had already hibernated in the sand.
Li Zihang cursed the mynah bird and said, "Freeze to death and eat your bird meat." Then he went to light the fireplace.
During this period, the people in the neighboring yard did not cause any trouble. Since the last photo-taking incident, Li Zihang has never been to the neighboring yard again. He always goes out through his own front door. Only Aunt Qi and Xiao Yushui go through the back door. Xiao Yushui goes back to sleep every night. Aunt Qi chats with the people in the yard whenever she wants, or takes care of Xiao Yushui.
It was almost noon and Li Zihang was a little hungry, so he went to ask the old man how to solve the problem of lunch.
In the main living room, the old man was chatting with the dog.
Li Zihang said to the two of them, "You two, how are we going to handle lunch this afternoon?"
Gouzi: "Let's go out and eat! What else can we do?"
The old man: "Let's go. The three of us are going to eat mutton hotpot."
Li Zihang asked tentatively: "Donglaishun?"
The old man looked at his grandson's behavior and said, "Why, you're not happy?"
Li Zihang: "Grandpa, it's so cold. You don't need to run four or five miles to eat some meat!"
Old man: "Too far?"
Li Zihang: "What you said is wrong. It's too cold. I, your grandson, don't want to ride a carriage or a bicycle anymore. I might as well go to the street corner to drink a bowl of mutton soup and eat a piece of fire cake!"
The old man said angrily, "You little brat, any kid would get excited when they hear there's meat to eat. But you think it's too far for such a short distance."
Li Zihang: "Does our family need a piece of meat? If not, we can go to our own restaurant. Why should we give it to others at a discount?"
Old man: "You know shit. There are a few old friends living in the Donglaishun area. And a few of my old friends are also in that area. It's a good opportunity to visit them after dinner."
"Stop talking nonsense. You have to go. You have to go whether you want to or not."
As he was about to go out, the old man stood at the door of his house again, stopping to look at the door.
Li Zihang was puzzled by the old man's behavior, so he asked, "Grandpa, what's there to see at the gate?"
The old man looked at his own front door and complained to himself, "The more I look at this hanging flower door as a front door, the more uncomfortable I feel."
Li Zihang was a little confused so he said, "Isn't our front door pretty nice? Grandpa, why are you so awkward?"
Gou Zi said to Li Zihang: "You don't understand. Beyond this hanging flower door is the inner door. This is like a girl wearing her inner clothes outside, which makes people laugh."
Li Zihang looked at the hanging flower gate in front of him and said, "Anyway, I think our gate is pretty good-looking."
The old man listened to his grandson and said, "You know nothing. I closed and replaced the door in the spring. I was just blinded by greed at the time and wanted to hide it with a big door. Don't stand there, let's go."
