My courtyard shelter

"I said, why did you get into the TV station? You are obviously not professional!"

Xu Dong suddenly realized.

Zhang Chunhu looked complicated: "But having said that, if it hadn't been for the big flare, I wouldn't have been able to get to where I am now even with my college diploma. Maybe this is a blessing and a curse?"

"Don't say that. You were the squad leader in college, and your organizational skills are much better than the average person. I believe gold will shine wherever it goes." Xu Dong quickly agreed.

"It's not as good as you said. University and society are not the same thing at all..."

Zhang Chunhu shook his head gently.

"Try this." Xu Dong grabbed a handful of pistachios and put them in front of the other party, then changed the subject: "By the way, when did you get married? Do you have grandchildren now?"

"I got married relatively late. I didn't get married until I was in my thirties. Later I gave birth to a son and a daughter. My children are now married. I now have two granddaughters and one grandson."

"congratulations!"

"It's not bad. It's not like your family. I read online that you have five children?"

"That's right, the first baby gave birth to a pair of twin girls, and the second baby gave birth to triplets. If it weren't for my luck, even if I were sold, I wouldn't be able to support them."

"How many grandchildren do you have now?"

Zhang Chunhu said curiously.

Xu Dong picked up his phone and clicked on a family photo from the last Dragon Boat Festival.

"See for yourself!"

Zhang Chunhu took it and took a look, his eyes widened instantly: "Are these all?"

"Grandson, granddaughter, grandson and granddaughter, together there are eighteen people in total. The oldest is ten years old and the youngest is only one year old. They are known as the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation."

"Haha, it must be lively at home, right?"

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not just lively, it's simply too lively. I don't know if you can understand it. It's the feeling of living in a kindergarten. Especially the crying is hard to guard against."

"You feel pain and happiness!"

"Well, you are right to say that. Anyway, in my hands, our old Xu family has blossomed. It's a pity that my dad left early, otherwise he would definitely be the happiest."

Xu Dong said regretfully.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the old man to rush the ducks to the shelves, he wouldn’t have achieved what he has today. Although relying on foresight can ensure that the family has enough food and clothing, there is no doubt that it is far behind in other aspects.

Only after experiencing it can you understand the difference. The previous ideas were a bit too taken for granted.

In such a big era, there is no room for the small rich to live in peace.

The ups and downs of Beijing are the best proof that there is no comfort zone in life.

Zhang Chunhu couldn't help but sigh: "The older generation likes to have more children and be blessed. Unlike today's young people, giving birth to a child is like killing him."

"Aren't your sons and daughters planning to have another baby?"

"I don't want to give birth anymore. The past two years have not been as difficult as the previous years. The official incentives are not very attractive anymore. I'd better make changes as soon as possible."

"How to change it? Do you want to give birth to a baby and get a house?"

"Just giving away a house is not enough. Unlike when we were young, there are too many vacant houses in the city." Zhang Chunhu shook his head, "It is most practical to give out money. If you give birth to a child, you will receive a reward of 300,000 yuan. I don't believe there is no life."

"It's too far off topic. Children and grandchildren will be blessed by themselves. Let's just take care of ourselves. I would like to ask you a question, how did you recognize me?"

Xu Dong tried to ask.

"This is not simple. Firstly, they look alike, secondly, they have the same place of origin, and thirdly, I have been to your house before, and your family has indeed moved away, so I am 70% to 80% sure.

Just now, I had been standing guard at the gate just to confirm with you, so I called out your nickname tentatively, but I didn't expect it was really you. "

"Then why don't others believe it?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

Zhang Chunhu peeled a walnut and stuffed it into his mouth:

"The main reason is that your name is too popular, and your body has gained weight and the change has been too drastic. It is normal for everyone to be suspicious.

In addition, you are not the second generation and your academic performance is not very good. I really can’t believe that someone like you can actually become the richest man in the world. "

"Aren't you looking down on others?" Xu Dong said proudly, "When my memoirs are published in a few years, I will give each of you a copy. It contains the details of how I made my fortune, so that you can gain insights."

"Okay, let's talk about it first, I want the signed version."

Zhang Chunhu quickly cooperated.

"Haha... no problem!"

The two chatted for more than an hour.

Xu Dong glanced at his watch, stood up and stretched: "It's getting late, let's just say goodbye!"

"Want to have a drink at my place tonight?"

"I don't have time. I came back this time and donated a sum of money and eight libraries to the city. I will go to the city to sign a contract later. I will have a good drink next time I have the opportunity."

"Can you do it tomorrow?"

Zhang Chunhu was unwilling to give up.

"Tomorrow won't work either. I have to leave Luyang early in the morning. You also know that I am sensitive about my identity. They say whether the hometown is beautiful or not, and whether I can be close to the people in my hometown. There are some things that I really can't say no to, so it would be better to leave early."

Xu Dong explained patiently.

Zhang Chunhu couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity. I don't know if there will be a chance next time?"

"There must be. When the airport here in Luyang is repaired, I will come back often."

"Is that a deal?"

Xu Dong nodded: "Say hello to my old classmates for me. I'll try to be as low-key as possible next time I come over. Let's get together then."

"Didn't you join the class WeChat group? Go and tell everyone yourself. I think they will be surprised."

"Look at my memory. I can't help but admit that I'm old."

Xu Dong patted his head.

Zhang Chunhu smiled, and then personally sent his old classmate to the car.

...

Three days later, Xu Dong finally returned to Sydney.

As soon as he came back, he received good news that his "goddaughter" Mengmeng, Xiang Xin's daughter He Yun, was finally getting married.

The groom was none other than Zhang Tao.

Since Xiang Xin adopted Zhang Tao, He Yun and Zhang Tao became nominal siblings. It was precisely because of this that although the two had always had a good impression of each other, due to ethics, no one dared to speak first.

As a result, their marriage was delayed again and again.

Xiang Xin was almost worried to death.

In the end, it was Xu's mother who saw the clues and directly broke the window paper, which allowed the young couple to finally get married and not continue to waste time.

In the words of the old man.

This situation was common in their era. It was just a disguised form of child bride and child husband. There was no blood relationship. As long as the household registration was moved out separately, everything would be fine.

Speaking of which, it was also because Zhang Tao and He Yun were too honest. Both of them grew up in single-parent families and always attached great importance to family affection.

No one was willing to take the risk of losing their loved ones.

After all, once the confession failed, it would definitely affect the family relationship, and the consequences were unpredictable.
