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

Li Zihang looked at a group of thin puppies that had just been weaned at his feet and selected a pure white one and a pure black one. Both had long ear hairs that fluttered and moved when they ran.

Anna was trying to sell her pet to Li Zihang. "Do you want a peacock? If you want one, it'll be the same as those big roosters. I'll give you some eggs."

She was afraid that Li Zihang would think she was stingy, so she quickly explained.

"Those big roosters can only be raised from a young age. Otherwise they will bite strangers."

"Last time, my servant went into the chicken coop and was pecked by the big roosters. A piece of flesh was bitten off his arm. He bled a lot."

"Those big roosters and peacocks only recognize the people who raised them since they were young. If strangers provoke them, they will attack people."

"That's why I gave you some eggs. But don't worry, those eggs are alive. You can just find a hen to hatch them. They are easy to raise."

"You can feed them some grains and vegetable leaves on a daily basis. If you want them to look good, just catch some bugs and feed them from time to time. This way their feathers will become very beautiful."

I chatted with Anna about my experience of raising pets. Time passed unknowingly. After having a meal of authentic Mao Zedong cuisine at Anna's house, the grandparents and grandchildren went home.

On the way back, in the car!

"My grandson, you brought me two more tiny puppies. Our home has really become a zoo. What do those eggs mean?"

"Grandpa, these pets I have are just the beginning. Anna's backyard is the zoo."

"Those eggs were given to me by Anna. Two of them are white peacock eggs. The other ten are Burning Sky Chicken eggs."

The old man asked doubtfully, "Burning Sky Chicken?"

Li Zihang explained: "It's the Americans who crossbred the Shanghai Jiujinhuang chicken with the Menglajia chicken."

"You have no idea how big the chicken is. When it stands up, it reaches my nose. A full-grown rooster can weigh more than 20 kilograms. And each one is more beautiful than the other."

"I plan to hatch these chickens and put them in our backyard as guardian animals."

The old man tried his best to satisfy Li Zihang's material needs, but he was very strict and serious about his education and training.

"Grandson, you don't even consider the time. If it were the Republic of China, if you wanted to raise a tiger, I could get one for you. But now is not the right time, you can't stand out too much."

As the old man kept talking, the two dogs in the car started barking. Li Zihang picked up the thin white dog and put it directly in the old man's arms. Then he picked up the other one in his arms.

The old man was at a loss as to what to do. After a while, he started playing with the dog with Li Zihang.

Back home, Li Zihang went back to study his pets. Grandma had not returned from visiting some old friends.

In the study, Shou Shan reported some things to the old man.

"Master, these are the money those people spit out. Please take a look."

The old man took dozens of bank deposit slips and looked through them. His face became more and more gloomy.

"They are a bunch of traitors. It's really a bargain for them."

The old man said after throwing the deposit slip on the table.

"A dozen people embezzled 720 million. They are drinking my blood. A bunch of bastards."

"I was a little reluctant to deal with them at first. Now it seems that it was too easy for them."

"720 million is enough to buy hundreds of shops in downtown Tianjin. And it comes with both house and land."

"I'm so mad~"

When Shoushan saw the old man like that, he hurried over to serve tea and water to help the old man calm down.

"Master, do you want to go back~"

The old man looked at Shou Shan and said, "Those bastards don't care about loyalty, but I can't ignore human feelings."

"I've already been punished. Do I have to slap myself in the face and settle the score?"

"How will the six disloyal governments be dealt with? Is there any follow-up?"

"Master, the one who turned himself in was honest, evasive, and had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes. He handed over most of his property. The government decided to show leniency to him and sentenced him to 15 years in prison."

"Of the other five, two received death sentences. Three received prison sentences ranging from 2 to 10 years."

"By the way, Wang Pengfei shot himself at home this morning."

After thinking for a while, the old man gave Shoushan a letter he had written when he came back, sealed it with sealing wax.

"You keep this letter. Wait until one month after I leave. Give it to Zakkis, the consul general, at the consulate."

"Remember, give the letter to him in front of him. Don't worry about anything else!"

Shou Shan took the letter. "Master, this letter is..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was so frightened by the old man's look that he dared not to continue.

"You haven't learned any of your father's strengths."

"Curiosity kills the cat. The more you know, the more dangerous it is. Don't you understand?"

"Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. One thing concerns the life and death of tens of thousands of people. If you think something goes wrong, I can protect you."

"If one person threatens the collective interests, even if the leader doesn't want to deal with you, the subordinates will spontaneously resolve the threat. At that time, I will just kill them all. What's the point? Can you come back from the dead?"

"Go ahead~ Just do what I asked you to do. Originally, this was the most suitable thing for Yu Fei to do. What a pity~"

The next morning, Li Zihang and his group headed back home and set off for Sijiu City.

After another 5 hours of traveling, everyone finally returned to No. 40 Li's Mansion in Nanluoguxiang.

Li Zihang was lying on his bed, looking at his home, feeling relaxed and comfortable everywhere. He couldn't help but roll over on the bed.

The seventh generation Tiger Clan, Master Jiu, and his grandmother arranged for an empty room in the backyard.

His youngest son, his family of three and his youngest daughter were arranged to stay in two guest rooms in the east wing.

After Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven moved out, let Li Zihang, Uncle Shibo (Li Xianju's youngest son) and Aunt Shilan (Li Xianju's youngest daughter) move to the backyard.

After lunch, the whole family sat in the restaurant drinking tea and chatting.

The old man: "Brother, do you want to live in the backyard or somewhere else."

"I won't talk about living in the backyard. I live somewhere else. I have a house nearby, more than 700 meters away from here."

"There is also the yard next door, which used to be integrated with my yard. The former kitchen and side yard over there collapsed."

"I had it renovated. It's a nice little courtyard. There are three west rooms, two west side rooms, one north room, and one south room. There are seven rooms in total. There's also a 20-square-meter courtyard. When the time comes, install a gate and it will be a house with good privacy."

Li Xianju glanced at Li Zihang and said, "You all know why I came here. It's not convenient to be far away. My wife and I live in the backyard."

The old man turned to Li Shibai and Li Shilan and said, "My little nephew and niece, what about you?"

After looking at each other, the brother and sister said in unison that they would live next door.

Li Zihang's grandmother rolled her eyes at the siblings and said nothing.

Li Shibai's wife was holding her 2-year-old son, and was standing aside happily without saying a word.

The old man said, "I'm sorry to bother you for a while. I'll arrange jobs for both of you in two days at most. I'll also transfer your household registration."

"You guys should take a rest for the next two days. Walk around and have a look."

After that, he took out three bank deposit slips and a stack of money from his pocket and handed them to several people.

"Brother, take these money and deposit certificates. If you need anything, just tell me."

He handed another stack of money to Li Shibai and Li Shilan respectively.

"This is for both of you. Take a couple of days off and go to the Sijiucheng Department Store. If you see something you like, just buy it. If you have any problems in the future, tell your aunt."

When Jiu Ye saw the money and the deposit certificate, he handed them to his wife without saying a word.

Li Shilan was shocked when she saw the money and deposit certificate in her hand, and said at a loss.

"Uncle, this is too much money~ I~ I~"

Li Shibai wanted to laugh at his sister, but when he looked down at the number on the deposit slip, he was also shocked.

Wow, it says on it that the deposit is 5,000 yuan in Bank of China.

With 2 yuan in cash in his hand, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

When Master Jiu saw his children who had never seen the world, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Okay, just take the money your uncle gave you. You all look like losers."

It’s not his brother and sister’s fault for being useless, it’s just that the old man gave them too much money.

In this era, the average monthly living expenses for a person in the city were less than 5 yuan, and the average monthly salary for an ordinary worker was only 18.5 to 27.5 yuan.

The monthly salary for higher-level employees is between 30 and 50 yuan at most.

Going up further, there are senior employees, who are usually between 50 and 80 at most.

Top technical staff are between 80 and 110.

If you are higher, you are a leading cadre, a top engineer or a researcher at the Academy of Sciences. Those people are another matter.

The wages in other places are even lower. For rural families who earn work points, it is a great achievement to save 20 yuan a year.

How could they not be excited when they suddenly received more than 5 yuan!

Although they were a wealthy family in their hometown of Gusu, they were still not able to get in touch with the family. So this amount of money was too much for them.

In this era, all documents are handwritten. To withdraw money from a bank, you only need to bring the deposit slip and you can directly withdraw the money. Then you just need to sign your name and stamp your seal. Then you can withdraw as much as you want and the remaining money. The staff will re-fill the remaining deposit, transaction time, and the name of the operating staff on the deposit slip.

No passwords, no machine printing. All handwritten.

Grandma: "If you are not tired in the afternoon, you can go out for a walk and buy some daily necessities. If you are tired, just rest at home. Tell me what you want to buy and I will make a list and ask someone to buy it for you."
