Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

In the study, Li Zihang coaxed Lou Xiao'e like he was coaxing a child. He even felt that their ages should be changed.

Lou Xiao'e: "Xiaohang, can I go into the bird house and play for a bit?"

Li Zihang: "You can go. But don't mess with the bigger starling or the biggest cockatoo."

Lou Xiao'e asked in confusion: "Why? Those two birds can catch people?"

Li Zihang: "The big starling will curse if you provoke a stranger. The big parrot won't curse, but if you provoke it and it's unhappy, it will bite you."

"By the way, watch your step when you go in. Don't step on my rooster to death."

When Lou Xiao'e heard that she was allowed to go in, she opened the glass door of the bird house directly. When she reached the wire mesh door, she carefully opened the door and went in, fearing that the birds would fly out.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the rockery and fish pond in the house, the small bridge and cobblestone road. Various potted trees, a small bamboo forest. The ornamental fish in the fish pond, the birds on the roof beams. There were also the flocks of birds flying around because she disturbed them. The shrike chickens running around on the ground. She was stunned by this scene. She didn't feel anything when she looked at it from the outside. But she felt something else when she came in. There really is something mysterious inside.

Lou Xiao'e followed the winding cobblestone path and came to a corner of the bird house. There was a small round stone table in the middle and a rocking chair next to it. There were neatly trimmed low bushes all around.

Sitting in a rocking chair, looking at the potted ornamental trees around and the bamboo forest planted by the wall, listening to the various bird calls, and the sunlight shining through the two large skylights, through the grove, and into the bird house, it feels like being in a park.

From time to time, birds and pheasants would come to her.

At this time, the starling who only knew how to curse stood on the branch. He looked at the strange Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Little girl, who are you?"

Lou Xiao'e was startled by the sudden voice and looked up to see the starling. She also stood up and looked at the starling curiously.

Myna: "The girl is talking about you! Who are you?"

Lou Xiao'e said happily, "I am your master's sister."

Myna: “Liar, liar”

Lou Xiao'e continued, "I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, go ask."

Myna: "Girl, smile for me. Let me see."

When Lou Xiao'e heard what the starling said, she almost laughed to death.

The starling looked at Lou Xiao'e who was laughing non-stop and said directly: "Silly girl, silly girl"

At this time, the largest cockatoo also flew over and said, "Silly girl, silly girl"

Li Zihang looked at Lou Xiao'e, who was having fun in the bird house, and ignored her. He started to study the painting he had taken out from the underground palace.

About an hour later, he went to the kitchen and served some fruit to the old man. The weather in September was really hot.

Li Zihang took a bunch of grapes from the refrigerator and cut up the frozen watermelon. He put them in a fruit plate and sent it to the old man.

These were supposed to be the work of Aunt Qi. But since she was assigned to work by the old man, everyone at home has been doing their own things. Grandma took Yu Shui out to the People's Shopping Mall.

In the north room study, Li Zihang knocked on the door.

Old man: “Come in.”

Li Zihang came in with a fruit plate and said, "Grandpa, Uncle Lou, it's hot, I'll bring you some fruit."

Lou Zhenhua: "Xiaohang is really sensible and well-behaved."

Old man: "Did your sister Xiao'e entertain you well?"

Li Zihang: "Sister Xiao'e is playing with the mynah parrot in the birdhouse. I'll go and bring the fruit over later."

The old man said to Lou Zhenhua again: "I'm sorry that no one is at home today."

Lou Zhenhua: "Old man, you are too polite."

After Li Zihang put the fruit plate away, he closed the door and went out.

On the other side, when he brought the fruit plate into the study and asked Lou Xiao'e to come out to eat the fruit, she also excitedly brought out the starling that was perched on her shoulder.

Li Zihang: "Sister Xiao'e, why did you bring it out?"

Lou Xiao'e said as if she hadn't had enough fun yet: "Xiaohang, this starling is so interesting. Can you lend it to me to play with for a few days?"

Li Zihang: "You have to ask the starling for its consent. Otherwise, even if you force it to go back, it will scold you. It might even sneak back."

At this time, the mynah bird also flew from Lou Xiao'e's shoulder to Li Zihang's desk.

The starling said to Li Zihang: "Eat watermelon, eat watermelon."

Lou Xiao'e was eating frozen watermelon while watching the starling. After hearing it say it wanted to eat watermelon, she cut some watermelon into pieces to feed the bird.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e really liked the starlings, Li Zihang said, "If you really want to keep one, there are a few newly hatched starlings in the birdhouse. When they grow up, I'll give you one."

Lou Xiao'e: "Really? Thank you in advance. But you still have to lend me this starling for a few days."

Li Zihang: "Okay. Wait until the rain comes back and let her talk to the bird, and it will follow you obediently." After saying that, he handed her a whistle.

"Sister Xiao'e, take this and wait until you take the starling out for a walk. As soon as it hears the whistle, it will fly back. Or you can go to the yard and play with it for a while first."

Lou Xiao'e took the whistle with some excitement, and without saying a word, she grabbed the starling next to her and went to the yard to let it go for a walk.

Li Zihang stood at the door, looking at Lou Xiao'e in the yard, laughing carefreely. Suddenly he became confused.

At this moment, he didn't know what to do in the future. He didn't have to worry about food and drink, and he didn't have to worry about anything. He had a good family background. Even in the turbulent period in the future, as long as he survived, he could get through it safely. However, he had no goals in life, no ideals. He didn't want to just eat and wait for death, and be a second-generation rich kid.

As the old saying goes, when you are hungry, you have only one worry. But when you are full, you have countless worries.

If the residents in the neighboring yard knew what he was thinking, they would definitely scold him for having too much of a good life.

Li Zihang shook his head and stopped thinking about those things. He looked at the time and found that it was almost eleven o'clock. Thinking that there might not be anyone to cook at noon, he walked to the restaurant, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and called his own restaurant to order food.

After the phone rang a few times, Li Zihang said directly: "Uncle De, it's me. Send some food to my house at noon."

"Let's have some beef with choy sum, squirrel fish with mandarin fish, boiled chicken, braised abalone with fish belly, blanched shrimp, and cold-mixed Chinese toon sprouts. And some seasonal vegetables. Oh, and rose water, iced. Okay, that's all. Got it. Just deliver it by 11:40."

After hanging up the phone, I thought about the public-private partnership. It might not be that easy to get food from my own restaurant.

I thought that the old man and Lou Bancheng were probably discussing the policy of joint venture. They were all big businesses, and it was not easy to make a deal. It was not like a small shop, where we could negotiate today and send someone to take over tomorrow.

The two companies have various industrial chains and employ more than 3 people across the country. It is not easy to reach an agreement with the government. He estimated that it would take at least a year to reach an agreement with the government and let the government take over.

Not to mention the distant ones, even our own foreign trade grain station is a big problem. The people who buy grain in Nanyang are our second and third uncles. They have been doing this for so many years for the sake of the old man.

If someone else were to take over, the second master or the third master would not necessarily respond. With the change of the person in charge, the work of purchasing grain, various meats, milk powder, and some light industrial machinery might not be done.

Besides, many of our industries are industrial chains, and none of them can do without the others. Public-private partnerships will separate our industries across the country. By then, it is estimated that many stores will not be able to operate for a long time.

The teahouses and tea shops in our own teahouses and tea gardens form an ecological chain. Huizhou's tea gardens supply dozens of teahouses and hundreds of tea shops of all sizes across the country at low cost. They all complement each other.

With this separate management, I don’t know how many shops will have to be closed in the future.

There is also a restaurant of its own. Meat and vegetables are all purchased from the farm at the purchase price. All costs are kept to the lowest. After the management is separated, who cares about who?

Such a big restaurant, when there is no business. Without any strength, the staff alone and the salary can overwhelm people. The account books of the past few years have been in the red for several consecutive years. If it weren't for the old man's rich family, it would have closed long ago.

As for the winery, 80 percent of the grain used for brewing is also purchased from grain stations.

If anything happens in Nanyang, the winery will be at a loss.

All of this is due to the relationship of the old man, so that those factories can continue to operate. If someone else were to take over, those industries would most likely have problems.

I dozed off for a while. I stopped thinking about these unchangeable things. I thought about my brothers Decai and Dewang. They have grown old recently and no one plays with them anymore. They are nowhere to be seen during the holidays.

They are not short of money, and they may not even see anyone when they have a meal.

When he was scolded by his uncle and aunt, he just laughed a few times and didn't say anything back. Except when he came back to sleep at night, he didn't see him all day.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e's voice came from outside: "Xiaohang, come out quickly."

Li Zihang heard the call and went out to see what was going on.
