Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

After Li Tianyou and Wang Defa discussed the matter of antiques, they returned to the courtyard with Gao Meiyu and the other two girls.

In the main hall of the east courtyard, Zheng Yanran finally couldn't help but say, "Brother Tianyou, this inland area is simply full of gold! No wonder so many foreigners come to the inland area, it turns out they are all here to pick up money!"

Gao Meiyu frowned when she heard this and asked, "Zheng Yanran, what do you mean?"

Zheng Yanran smiled beautifully and said, "Sister Yu'er, didn't you notice? These antiques and calligraphy and paintings are like they were picked up for free."

Li Tianyou nodded and said, "The painting by Mr. Qi Baishi that I picked up today will be worth tens of millions in a few decades. It is only worth 25 yuan now."

After hearing what Li Tianyou said, Gao Meiyu exclaimed: "Brother Tianyou, are you lying?"

Zheng Yanran said: "No, it's definitely not a lie. Even now, those calligraphy works by Wang Xizhi are priced at a sky-high price. How much do they cost in the city of Beijing?"

Li Tianyou directly said: "Yanran, you have only seen the tip of the iceberg, there are still many things you don't know."

Zheng Yanran looked at Li Tianyou and said seriously: "I believe what you said even more now, Brother Tianyou."

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "I have said that the inland is vast and rich in resources. There are many things that you can discover if you observe carefully."

Gao Meiyu listened to the conversation between the two, half-understanding it, and sighed, saying, "You two are talking like two capitalists plundering state property."

Upon hearing that, Zheng Yanran looked at Gao Meiyu and smiled. Her smile was very sweet, but her eyes were as if she was looking at a fool.

Gao Meiyu noticed Zheng Yanran's gaze and angrily said, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Zheng Yanran smiled and said, "If we don't accept it, will those foreigners take it away and take it abroad? Will you be happy if that happens?"

Li Tianyou also said: "Yuer, I will set up a museum in my own name for these things in the future. These things are still in our own country."

Zheng Yanran also frowned after hearing what Li Tianyou said: "Brother Tianyou, these things are ours after we bought them, why are you still doing this?"

Gao Meiyu felt better after hearing what Li Tianyou said.

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "There are many ways to make money. I won't do this kind of thing of reselling cultural relics. It can be regarded as leaving some protection for my descendants."

Gao Meiyu said: "Brother Tianyou, I really want to ask you something."

Li Tianyou looked at Gao Meiyu and smiled: "Yu'er, if you have anything to say, just ask directly."

Zheng Yanran still can't understand why Li Tianyou did this. Why would he go to a museum for such a good reason?

Gao Meiyu said: "Brother Tianyou, after we go to Hong Kong, do we live there permanently when we return to the mainland, or do we just invest and still live in Hong Kong?"

After hearing what Gao Meiyu asked Li Tianyou, Zheng Yanran looked at Li Tianyou with great curiosity.

Because Zheng Yanran wanted to live in Hong Kong permanently and didn't really want to live in the mainland.

Li Tianyou sighed in his heart and said: "Yuer, Hong Kong is also an inseparable part of our country. In the near future, Hong Kong will return to the embrace of the motherland, so we don't need to deliberately care about where we live."

By saying this, Li Tianyou had actually already answered Gao Meiyu, that they would live in Hong Kong permanently in the future, and even if they came back from the mainland, it would only be for investment and they would not live here permanently.

Zheng Yanran was delighted when she heard what Li Tianyou said, because she had always wanted to live in Hong Kong and didn't want to move to the mainland in the future.

Gao Meiyu also understood, but still asked: "Brother Tianyou, are you really not planning to move back to Sijiu City?"

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Yu'er, the future layout of Sijiu City is very important, so I can't answer you now, but we will really settle in Hong Kong, and we will have our home in Sijiu City in the future. I can guarantee you this."

Zheng Yanran also said: "Sister Yu'er, you have to understand that there is no polygamy policy in the mainland, so we usually have to live in Hong Kong. Besides, it's not impossible to come back. Brother Tianyou is going to build a museum in the city, so of course he will come back often."

Gao Meiyu nodded, sighed and said, "Okay."

Although these were just two simple words, it seemed as if Gao Meiyu had used up all of her strength.

Li Tianyou walked to Gao Meiyu, hugged her in his arms and said softly: "Yu'er, Tianyou promises you that we will have a home of our own in Sijiu City in the future."

In fact, Li Tianyou said these words, seemingly to comfort Gao Meiyu, but only Li Tianyou himself understood that in the future, he, Li Tianyou, would definitely get a big share of the real estate in Sijiu City, so how could he not have his own house?

So men’s words are lies.

Gao Meiyu didn't know that Li Tianyou had a hidden meaning in his words, and said with emotion: "Brother Tianyou, thank you."

Gao Meiyu was still touched that Li Tianyou was willing to have a home with her in Sijiu City. In fact, what he thought and what Li Tianyou said were completely different things.

Zheng Yanran looked at Li Tianyou and Gao Meiyu and shook her head helplessly, thinking, isn't it just a place to live? Hong Kong is a hundred times better than the inland. I don't understand why these two people are so sad.

Time quickly came to the afternoon when the steel rolling mill got off work. Qin Huairu did not go to the East Courtyard but went straight home.

Looking at Qin Huairu returning home, Yi Zhonghai's heart was filled with regret.

I thought to myself, if Qin Huairu was still as obedient as before, and if I let Qin Huairu get pregnant with my child and then marry Sha Zhu, it would not be as difficult as it is now.

Now Sha Zhu simply looked down on the person he introduced to him. He finally found a rural widow who agreed to his conditions, but Sha Zhu simply didn't like her.

Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai with a serious expression, and was thinking in his heart that Yi Zhonghai must be up to something bad.

An old lady looked at Yan Bugui and asked, "Old Yan, what are you looking at?"

Yan Bugui turned his head and looked at his wife and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Old Yi is becoming more and more strange now."

A lady heard this and whispered, "Old Yan, you don't know yet! Last time Yi Zhonghai introduced a girl to Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu kicked her out."

Yan Bugui curled his lips and said, "How could I not know this? Sha Zhu found a virgin girl, and Lao Yi brought back a rural widow for Sha Zhu. How could Sha Zhu not chase her away?"

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, the aunt smiled and said, "Old Yi, you must be anxious now."

Yan Bugui also laughed and said, "It's what he deserves. Without Yi Zhonghai's scheme, who knows how old Sha Zhu's child would be. Just think about it, Yi Zhonghai asked Sha Zhu to support Qin Huairu, and she got herself into trouble. In the end, Qin Huairu didn't listen to Yi Zhonghai and marry Sha Zhu."

After hearing this, the aunt looked around and whispered, "Boss, Qin Huairu is very close to Section Chief Li's family now!"

Yan Bugui also nodded and said: "Don't worry about these, we just need to stand on Tianyou's platform, don't ask or say anything else."

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, the aunt nodded.

After Qin Huairu got home, Bang Geng saw his mother coming back and said, "Mom, what are you going to cook for us today?"

Qin Huairu glanced at Bang Geng and said, "Hold on today. Tomorrow the factory will distribute New Year benefits. Mom can bring back a pound of meat and ten pounds of flour. I will use the benefits to make delicious food for you."

Xiao Dang said: "Mom, aren't you going to the East Courtyard today?"

Bang Geng said: "Xiao Dang, Section Chief Li is back, why is our mother still going to the East Courtyard?"

Huaihua said: "Mom, if we don't go to the East Courtyard, we won't have any delicious food at home."

Qin Huairu frowned and said, "You three are getting pickier and pickier now. You don't even want to eat two cups of noodles. Have you forgotten when you didn't have enough to eat before? It's only been a few days since you were able to eat enough. Are you starting to be picky now?"

Bang Geng said: "Mom, we just want to eat some meat."

Qin Huairu laughed angrily and said, "Eat meat every day? Who in this courtyard can eat meat every day?"

Bang Geng said: "Then how come Chief Li's family has meat every day? There is even extra meat for our family."

Qin Huairu frowned and said angrily, "Bang Geng, you are becoming more and more disobedient. Section Chief Li has meat at home because he is the head of the purchasing department and is in charge of purchasing. Moreover, Section Chief Li also purchased the unplanned materials based on his own ability. Why do you compare yourself with him? Don't always look at what Section Chief Li eats. You should look at what Section Chief Li has paid. This business trip has lasted for so many days, and you only saw how much he enjoyed. Why don't you look at what Section Chief Li has paid?"

Bang Geng was stunned by Qin Huairu's shouting and whispered: "I was just talking casually."

Qin Huairu straightened Bang Geng with both hands, looked at him sternly and said: "Remember, you are never allowed to say bad things about Section Chief Li. You have to know that Section Chief Li gave us the life we ​​have now. We should be grateful. We should not be jealous of others because they live better than us. Section Chief Li's family lives a good life because of their own efforts. Don't just complain about everything here like you do. If you don't work hard, even if others help you once or twice, it will be useless if you don't make progress. Do you understand?"

Bang Geng looked at Qin Huairu's cold eyes, lowered his head and said, "Mom, I know."

Qin Huairu took back her hands that were holding the stick and said, "Do your homework well. Mom will go cook for you."

At Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Haizhong came home from get off work and saw Liu Guangtian and said, "You little bastard, you still know how to go home."

Liu Guangtian glanced at Liu Haizhong and said impatiently: "Dad, are you planning to kick me out?"

Liu Haizhong snorted angrily: "You still know that I am your father! What have you been doing these days?"

Liu Guangtian sneered: "Dad, what I do has nothing to do with you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong stood up and said angrily, "What did you say, you little bastard?"

Zhao came over quickly and said, "Guangtian, how can you talk to your father like that? Apologize to your father now."

Liu Guangtian laughed out loud and said, "Mom, am I wrong? You two have loved my brother since he was young, but you beat me and my brother to death. Now you take it out on us. Parents are unkind and children are unfilial. Don't you know that?"

After hearing what Liu Guangtian said, Liu Haizhong said sternly: "Get out, you little bastard. I don't have a son like you. Don't stop me, old woman. I will beat him to death today."

Zhao pulled Liu Haizhong and said, "Guangtian, you can't talk to your father like that. Your father is doing this for your own good. Apologize to him now."

Liu Guangtian smiled crookedly when he heard this and walked out of the house.
