Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

"Oh, Doctor Li, are these all your family members?"

When the motorcade entered the manor and stopped at the entrance of the villa, Sister Qi exclaimed when she saw the dark little heads on both sides of the queue.

Gu Yu smiled enviously and said, "One hundred people will definitely not be able to defeat him!"

The staff laid out the platform and slowly pushed the ancient wheelchair down.

"Hello Grandpa Gu!"

Li Annuo held a large bouquet of carnations, decorated with redbuds, the city flower of Hong Kong Island, and gave them to the elderly.

Gu Gu was a bit difficult, but still responded with a smile: "Okay, thank you."

With trembling hands, he also touched the head of Li Yi, a three-year-old boy who was following Annuo. Li Yi is the son of Li Si and Atlanna. In terms of appearance alone, he is among the best in this generation. .

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Is this your little duke?"

Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Yes, the territory is similar to Qinjiazhuang."

Everyone laughed.

After greeting the children, they dispersed to play on the lawn.

A manor of several hundred acres, with so many children spread out, finally gained a lot of popularity.

The ancient spirit is surprisingly good. Sitting in a wheelchair, his pure eyes have been looking at the sky, mountains, forests, lakes, streams, grassland and children in Hong Kong Island.

Qin Daxue, who was standing next to Gu Yu, saw this scene and said firmly: "Gu Yu, there are only a few hours left, and this land will come back! It will come back forever and will never be cut off again!"

Gu Gu was much more calm, smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on Qin Daxue's face, and said: "Okay."

Sister Qi wiped the corner of her eyes and said to Li Yuan: "The old man has high hopes for Comrade Qin Xue."

Li Yuan laughed happily and said: "I don't understand much about this. She likes to do things, so just do them. Whenever she gets tired and can't do it anymore, she just goes home."

"Ouch!"

Sister Qi exclaimed: "Xiao Li, it makes sense for you to have so many confidantes."

"Pfft!"

Gu Yu almost died laughing.

Qin Daxue rolled his eyes at him with soft eyes.

After entering the villa, Gu Yu said with a smile: "It is said that this place is built like a palace. The tea cups are all used by Qianlong. The clothes for sleeping are all made of Jinling cloud brocade. I think they are very ordinary." "

Lou Xiao'e laughed at the side and said: "How can we live a comfortable life at home? What do we need these for? We knew that Gu Gu was coming. Li Xing and his wife asked us if we should replace everything with new ones and better ones. They were prepared I have a complete set of British royal bone china. There are also some messy expensive furniture, lamps, murals, etc., but Yuanzi rejected them. She said don’t mess around, the more homely the better.”

Sister Qi smiled and said: "Yes, yes, what I want is this homely taste. We all like to use half-old ones at home. By the way, I heard that Dr. Li's mother, brother and sister-in-law are also here. Why are you missing? Did we disturb you?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "No. My mother-in-law and the others came here two days in advance. They stayed at the beachfront hotel on Lamma Island, my own hotel. They played for two days and came back later in the evening to watch the ceremony at the Convention and Exhibition Center."

Sister Qi said: "Just don't disturb them."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "What are you disturbing me for? They are all the dearest people."

Oops!

This sentence made Sister Qi, Gu Yu, Gu Liu and other Gu family members look at each other sideways.

Being able to secure a position in the Li family's big house is indeed not just about "lucky".

Take the internal elevator to the third floor. The first floor is full of guest rooms of the ancient family, overlooking the distant sea view.

After Li Yuan performed acupuncture on Gu Gu again, Gu Gu didn't want to stay in the house for a long time and still wanted to go outside to take a look.

Lin Rui, Gu's secretary and director of the Gu office, pushed him downstairs and out of the manor to visit the pharmaceutical factory in front.

Lin Rui has been Gu's secretary since 1952. After so many years of ups and downs, he is not a father and son, but more like a father and son.

Lin Rui knew the ancient habits well.

Just watching him slightly raise his chin to a cart worker not far away, Lin Rui smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Doctor Li, can you invite that employee to come and have a chat? Gu Gu can tell that he seems to have something to do with us. The aura of a soldier.”

Li Yuan glanced at him in surprise, did Gu Gu say that?

But he didn't ask any more questions, and Li Rui next to him ran to invite someone.

Li Xing, who has a lot of titles on his head, is now talking to Mr. Sui and other comrades at the Central Convention and Exhibition Center as a local "country squire".

Datang's position in Hong Kong Island is too important now. It is indeed inappropriate for him not to show up.

After the workers were invited over, Lin Rui asked: "Comrade, looking at your pace, there are hints of the army."

The worker was very excited when he saw Gu Gu, but when he heard the question, he looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Just answer truthfully."

The worker nodded in response: "Yes! Ancient, I am Zhao Jianguo, a soldier of the , Chief, it’s not that I forgot about the organization’s training and became a deserter, it’s just that I really have no choice. I have to treat my mother and let my daughter go to school!”

Looking at Zhao Jianguo, whose face turned red with excitement and looked pained, Lin Rui pursed his lips and said, "Comrade Zhao Jianguo, you are not a deserter. You have not let down the motherland. It is the country that has sorry for you."

With that said, he saluted Zhao Jianguo with a snap, and then said in a deep voice: "You are not considered a deserter, because this is also China's land. Datang Group is also a national enterprise of China and the pride of the country and nation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jianguo straightened his chest and said, "Yes! Datang Group is the pride of our country and nation!"

Gu Gu opened his mouth and seemed to say something. Zhao Jianguo looked confused and a little anxious. Fortunately, Lin Rui understood and said warmly: "Gu Gu wants to ask you, have the difficulties in life been solved now? Are your mother and daughter okay? ?”

Zhao Jianguo said excitedly: "Thank you for your concern. It has been settled a long time ago. I worked in a pharmaceutical factory for a month instead of working at home for more than a year. Later, the salary became higher and higher, and we were even divided into apartments. My mother's illness was also diagnosed by Dr. Li personally. He was cured. Even though he has passed away, he is considered to have died. My daughter is now studying in a school in Datang and living a very good life! There are many people like me in Datang! Dr. Li is our savior. They are reborn parents!”

"Definitely!"

Li Yuan laughed and scolded: "What nonsense. You have done the work, and you have been paid for your labor. It is only natural and reasonable. I treat your mother to see a doctor, but also to reassure you and let you work well for me. Okay, okay. Come on, go to work. If you delay for a while longer, your wages will be deducted! You really don’t regard me as a capitalist?"

Zhao Jianguo grinned and didn't take it to heart, knowing that his boss was a good person. After giving another solemn salute to Gu Gu, Lin Rui and others, he turned around and pushed the cart away in a stride.

Li Yuan saw that there was a gloomy look on Gu Gu's face, and he was obviously remorseful for the country's meritorious officials falling into this state. He said with relief: "There are fewer and fewer people who can't survive. I believe it won't take more than a few years." , it will be completely eliminated. In ancient times, others said that I am a madman who is proud of the public in white. In fact, they are right. With my temperament, I don’t like to deal with official people. But there are two people who I always find Respect from the bottom of my heart.

One is an old man who created the world. I have survived the dark days, and I know how dark and painful those years were. Looking at modern history, which page is not stained with blood and tears, and which page is not covered with bones? Humiliation! I think it is no exaggeration to say that it was the old man who saved China.

There is another one, that is you. In front of you, I won’t boast. Facts speak louder than words, and history will definitely have a fair evaluation.

So, I have something to say. If we persist in opening up, the country will definitely get better and better. "

Gu Gu looked at Li Yuan, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay."

Lin Rui helped translate: "Dr. Li, the old man is thanking you. Doctor Li, the old man also hopes that you can continue on this steady path. Be the pride of the country and the nation!"

…

Hong Kong Island Convention and Exhibition Centre.

In the lounge on the second floor, Mr. Sui asked Director Jing, "Gu has arrived, right?"

Director Jing smiled and said, "We're here. We're already at Dr. Li's house now."

Mr. Sui laughed, pointed at Li Xing, who was a few seats away, and smiled at everyone present: "As early as nearly thirty years ago, Xiao Li and Dr. Li went south from Sijiu City to collect medicines and treat diseases along the way. They happened to be When Sister Qi met, please go see Yuan Chang. As we all know, Dr. Li’s consultation fee is not cheap. Gu Gu had no money at that time, so he gave Xiao Li a red star that the Prime Minister had given him that year, and they became friends from then on! "

Amidst the exclamation, Li Xing smiled and said: "I must explain this. My father treats ordinary people for free, whether in the mainland or Hong Kong Island. We didn't know that it was an ancient family at the time. So dad didn’t accept the money. Perhaps it was because of this spirit that Gu Gu gave me the five-pointed red star.”

Everyone laughed.

Zhao Junxun smiled and said: "Tangyuan, this is your home court, please say a few more words."

Li Xing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Uncle Zhao, Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhuang and Mr. An are here. Please don't make me look embarrassed."

Zhao Junxun first called him by his nickname, so it was difficult for him to talk about his official title.

As for the three people he mentioned, there is no need to say more about Mr. Huo. There are few people in the country who don't know who they are.

Mr. Zhuang Shiping also made a huge contribution to the construction of the special zone. Even when the country was in the most difficult times, he still sent all four children back to the mainland. The eldest son made a living by driving a taxi and working as a bus driver, but he will spend his life making hundreds of billions. All property is donated to the state...

And An Zijie, An Lao, is also a famous patriot.

There are only three people in Hong Kong Island who have enjoyed a national funeral, and An Lao is the first.

Of course, this is all for later.

Huo Lao smiled and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. Xiao Li's achievements have far exceeded us."

Li Xing said seriously: "Mr. Huo, as for money, the Li family may have made a little more and made some contributions. But in terms of serving the country, you, Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. An will always be our seniors."

Sui Laoxiao asked: "Mr. Huo, have you ever dealt with Dr. Li?"

Mr. Huo shook his head and smiled: "There are very few people in Hong Kong who deal with Dr. Li, and there are not many opportunities to meet him. I have only met him a few times. This person is very interesting." Of course he knew what Mr. Sui was asking, and said: " In terms of personality, Dr. Li is much more straightforward and sharp. Director Li is as gentle as jade and is easier to deal with."

Li Xing did not want to talk more about his family affairs and said: "A few days ago, thirty-four British warships sailed to the offshore waters of our country with murderous intent. This is the largest fleet that has appeared in Asia since World War II. The British still do not give up. They I thought China was still the China of 1842, with ships and cannons capable of entering and exiting at will.

When they were being arrogant, the Yibin went to the meeting alone! One against thirty-four, not giving an inch! Although the tonnage and weapons are far inferior to the opponent's Broadsword-class frigate, when the opponent rushed over recklessly, the Yibin faced each other head-on. When the two ships were less than 200 meters apart, the Broadsword finally retreated and gave way.

The ghost guys are so arrogant that they have forgotten that as early as 103 years ago, Deng Shichang piloted the Zhiyuan ship and headed straight for Yoshino. How could he retreat now? "

After a burst of applause, Mr. Sui said with a smile: "When we discussed the handover issue before, we gave the report to Gu Gu, who approved it with two words: soft. Why? Because there is only a plan for peaceful handover, and there is no plan for taking it back by force. How can this be possible? Therefore, no matter what the British side has planned, it can never stop our determination to take back Hong Kong Island at 0:00 on July 1, 1997! The old saying: If they dare to play tricks, they will start The army will come and smash you to death with a hammer!"

Warm applause sounded again.

Li Xing smiled and looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

…

Central, Datang Building.

Top floor.

In front of the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the bright night view of Victoria Bay, Li Yuan smiled at Gu Gu: "Hong Kong Island can be so prosperous because of its reform and development. In the 1960s and 1970s, the richest Chinese businessmen on Hong Kong Island were several A net worth of one billion. After the reform, each one expanded rapidly. Li Jiacheng of CK Hutchison is already in charge of a listed company with a market value of over one trillion. Some Hong Kong people always think that the British brought them prosperity, haha."

Gu Gu smiled, and Lin Rui said: "Gu Gu said that there will always be some people who scold, and you can't stop others. Let them scold you, and you can't just listen to praise. When you make real achievements, the scolders will naturally not enough."

Gu Yu said with a smile: "Jingcheng, Shenghai, and Pengcheng have all developed well in recent years, very fast. But when you look out, the gap is still very big."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "It'll be a matter of time."

Gu Yu laughed and said: "You are more confident than us, so there must be hope."

Sister Qi looked at Li Xiaoba, who was standing in front of the drawing board, writing quickly, and smiled at Qin Daxue: "Your children are all becoming talented. This Xiaoba used to look silly, but he didn't expect to become a world-famous painter. .”

Qin Daxue smiled and said: "I can't take the credit for this, it's all taken care of here."

But I am not modest about the success of the Li family's children, because there is no need for it.

Even Li Si came back today. He accompanied Atlanna to meet Prince Charles at the Hong Kong Government.

Li Xing is at the Convention and Exhibition Center, and so is Zhi Guo, but Zhi Guo is now increasingly reticent within the system. Except for talking more with his family, he hardly speaks easily in public.

And he didn't follow him here, but waited in the audience to watch the ceremony with his cousins ​​such as Li Kun and Li Cheng.

This low-key style is very satisfying to a group of big guys.

In addition to these, there are also wealth, good fortune, and good luck.

Any one of them is worthy of being a dragon or a phoenix among men.

Xiaoqi, Xiaojiu and their grandchildren went with Lou Xiu, Nie Yu, Gao Weihong and others to accompany Li's mother and many relatives of the Li family.

Lijiadingkou is prosperous and full of talents, strong and united, so there is no need to be modest.

Qin Daxue looked at the time, it was half past nine in the evening.

She took a deep breath to calm down the growing excitement and even nervousness in her heart.

How could you not be excited?

…

Thailand, Bangkok.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Lou Zhize sat on the sofa with a calm and calm expression, watching the TV show that Anlei Weerawang announced his resignation. He was the only senior official in the Thai government who opposed the devaluation of the Thai baht.

He picked up a glass of water and sipped it in small sips.

Thailand's economy is in ruins.

Tens of millions of people have worked hard for twenty years and are about to be harvested.

Of course, he doesn't have much mercy, since he's also a sword-wielder.

If he doesn't hold a knife, everything will be easier for the ghost guy.

After several years of planning, house prices in Bangkok alone have soared by 400%, making huge profits.

Just a simple monetary figure can hardly arouse Lou Zhize's heart to beat violently now.

It's not that he is numb to money, but because he knows that what he eats will always be scraps...

Those people on Wall Street are really ruthless.

Other countries create wealth by exporting manufacturing, such as the Four Little Dragons and Four Little Tigers, which export industrial products and agricultural products to the West. The cheap goods provide a comfortable life for one billion people in Western developed countries, making them feel like they are living in paradise, which is the so-called of golden billion people.

Billions of other people provide them with cheap labor and various resources, working as cattle and horses for them.

Even the little wealth accumulated through such hard work will be harvested again by the West through financial means.

In comparison, Lou Zhize felt that the scraps Datang earned were insignificant.

But the more this happens, the more we have to fight for it!

After making a few phone calls and instructing him on his work arrangements for the next three days, Lou Zhize switched to TVB.

As a native of Hong Kong, Lou Zhize is not so excited about returning.

Since Li Yuan told him that horses will continue to run and dance for at least twenty years after Hong Kong's return, he should just face it with a normal heart.

Look at the time, it's already half past ten in the evening.

…

No. 79, Deep Water Bay.

"Dad, why are we going now?"

Li Zeju, wearing a suit and tie, asked with a smile as he watched Zhuang Yueming help his father tie his tie.

Li Jiacheng said calmly: "Our family is different from the Li family, the Huo family, and the Zhuang family in the Tang Dynasty, but unlike those families, our family is not hostile to the mainland, so we side with the British. We are just businessmen, and we don't need to be too flattering. , I don’t want to stand in line and offend, so it’s just right to go now.”

Li Zeju sighed: "Dad, after twelve o'clock, does Hong Kong Island belong to the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Jiacheng said: "Why do you say that?"

Li Zeju shrugged and said: "In the Hong Kong government era, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty could be so sharp and do whatever they wanted. Now that they have returned, with their family's background in the mainland..."

Li Jiacheng interrupted: "Did Datang rely on its background to make its fortune? The backgrounds of China Resources and CITIC are no worse than Datang."

After Li Zeju was silent for a while, he slowly said: "Dad, this is why I have no choice but to remain unconvinced. Medicine, semiconductors, steel, electronics, ports, energy, shipbuilding, shipping, finance... In addition to real estate, Datang has done everything it can." They have made all the industries they are doing. If Datang goes public, wouldn't it be number one in Asia?"

Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "The foundation of Japan's six major consortiums is not comparable to that of Datang. In terms of technology, except for semiconductors, they are not the most advanced. If there is no huge market in mainland China to undertake their backward products, Datang could not reach this step. But they have also reached a bottleneck. They have invested so much in high technology and it is difficult to realize the technology. The mainland market is not enough to carry high-end products. But..."

Seeing that his father was hesitant to speak, Li Zeju asked curiously: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Li Jiacheng smiled bitterly and said: "Every step that Datang has taken to reach this point is incredible. So I don't know exactly where they will go. Victor, don't pay too much attention to Datang. They are taking a dangerous road. , a difficult road. Different from Changhe, what we do is the road to make money, which is more secure. Moreover, our relationship in the mainland is not bad. From 1992 to this year, we invested hundreds of billions in the mainland in five years. And we will continue to increase investment, and our relationship is very good. So, there is no need to worry about what Datang will do to us.

There is a saying in "The Peach Blossom Fan": I watched him build a Zhulou, watched him entertain guests, and watched his tower collapse. Victor, just be ourselves. "

Li Zeju nodded in agreement, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "Dad, it's almost time, let's go."

"good."

…

The Central Convention and Exhibition Center looks like a turtle lying in Victoria Bay.

Take advantage of Xiangjiang Feng Shui.

Auditorium on the fifth floor of the new wing.

The lights are bright.

It is already half past eleven, and the handover ceremony will officially begin in twelve minutes.

All 6,500 spectators went through security checks and were all seated.

The atmosphere is half fresh, uneasy, and exciting, and many young people among them are fun-loving people...

Half of them are sad, lost, unwilling, and full of resentment...

As time passed, most people became nervous and serious.

Mr. Sui was still talking and laughing, and said to the people on Hong Kong Island: "That Fat Peng always causes trouble from time to time. He is almost here and told us that the People's Liberation Army can only enter Hong Kong Island at 0:00 on July 1st. , I hope we abide by the sanctity of the treaty. I said fine, at 0:00 on July 1st, no British soldiers are allowed to appear on the land of Hong Kong Island, not even one! He was dumbfounded and never mentioned it again. Now it is ...It’s thirty-nine minutes, the handover of defense has begun, right?”

Mr. Wang was wearing a military uniform, looked at his watch and said: "Not yet, the defense handover will be at fifty-three minutes, at Tamar Barracks."

Mr. Sui smiled and said, "If they want to persist until the end, let them persist." Then he turned to look at Li Xing and asked, "Xiao Li, have you made arrangements over there in Gu Gu?"

Li Xing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Sui, my father will be with you, there won't be any problems."

Hearing his confident tone, Mr. Sui laughed and said, "Okay!"

…

"On behalf of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison, I take over the military camp!"

"You can be laid off, and we'll be put on the job!"

"I wish you a safe journey!"

Tamar Barracks, fifty-three minutes, the defense handover begins. Commander Tan Shanai's domineering voice shows the demeanor of a king's division!

Among the cheering crowds around, Li Yuan, Fugui, and Xiaojiu, a family of three, protected an old man in a wheelchair with the word "pin" in the character "pin".

Compared with Prince Charles's nagging speech at the Convention and Exhibition Center, it was obvious that the handover here was more to the old man's liking.

"Ancient, we should go."

In less than six minutes, he had to go to the Convention and Exhibition Center to witness the falling of the Union Jack flag and the raising of the five-star red flag. Li Yuan bent down and said something.

The itinerary has already been arranged.

The ancient smile nodded.

The motorcade set off quickly and arrived at the Convention and Exhibition Center in only four minutes, arriving at the fifth floor of the Convention and Exhibition Center at fifty-nine minutes.

…

"On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and the people of the United Kingdom, I would like to express our gratitude, admiration, friendship and friendly wishes to all the citizens of Hong Kong Island."

"You have been our good friends for many generations. We will not forget you, and at the same time, we will cast our most concerned eyes on the new era that is about to open in your extraordinary history."

After finally hearing the end, Li Yuan looked at his watch. There was no doubt that this piece of shit had timed out, by twenty-eight seconds.

He deserves to be the longest prince in his life!

"The flag lowering and flag raising ceremony begins now, everyone please stand up!"

The honor guard of the three armed forces came forward and came to the flagpole holding a bright national flag.

"Now, lower the United Kingdom flag and the Hong Kong Island flag."

"Raise the national flag of the People's Republic of China and the regional flag of Hong Kong Island!"

Amid the low British music, the Union Jack flag and the Hong Kong flag were lowered. Then, the national anthem was played, and the five-star red flag and the Hong Kong Island Special Operations District flag were slowly raised amidst the sound of the national anthem.

The stuck point happens to be, July 1, 1997, at 0:00:00!

Starting from August 29, 1842, more than 150 years of separation have finally come to an end! !

"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves!"

During the viewing ceremony, suddenly the children of the Li family sang the national anthem under the leadership of Li Annuo.

A total of one hundred and forty-eight fourth-generation descendants of the Li family came, and their loud and powerful singing sounded throughout the auditorium.

Soon, more and more people joined.

By the time it reaches the end, it has already become a mighty song!

"We are united and brave the enemy's fire

go ahead

Braving enemy fire

go ahead

go ahead

Forward forward! "

Thunderous applause! !

After the warm applause lasted for a long time, Governor Tung, as the first Governor of Hong Kong Island, came to the stage to speak. His first sentence was: "Now, let us welcome the ancients to speak for us with warm applause!"

Except for a few people, most people and the media at home and abroad don't know that ancient times can appear today.

He has not been seen for a long time, and his health has been subject to various speculations from the outside world.

They never expected that Gu Gu would attend this global live broadcast ceremony today.

I didn’t expect that I would also give a speech!

Huge surprise!

There was a commotion everywhere in the auditorium, and countless eyes were exploring the figure of the old man.

"Dr. Li, in order to prevent accidents from happening, please join me in pushing the old age forward."

Lin Rui pleaded.

Sister Qi said from the side: "Xiaoxue, let's go up together." Qin Daxue nodded.

Li Yuan did not refuse. He took out a large mask from his pocket and put it on, then said with a smile: "No problem."

The three of them pushed Gu Gu around in a big circle from behind and onto the rostrum.

Gu Gu was tortured by illness and his face was very old, but his silver hair was neatly combed and he had a peaceful smile on his face.

The applause gradually sounded...

After Chief Dong shook hands with him warmly, lowered the microphone and pointed it at the old man, he said again: "Now, please speak for us!"

Gu Gu slowly raised his right hand, faced the silent audience, and said with difficulty and firmness:

"Oh, I'm here today to take you home!"

"Wow!!"

At this moment, the applause almost broke through the roof of the convention and exhibition center!

I don’t know how many people shed tears at this moment!

Not only the thousands of people in the Convention and Exhibition Center, but also hundreds of millions of overseas Chinese were all moved to tears at this moment.

This great old man, in the last stage of his life, still came to Hong Kong Island personally to pick up the wanderers who had been away from home for a hundred years!

Even Li Yuan had tears in his eyes at this moment. Seeing countless people in the audience applauding desperately, he could feel Gu Gu holding back the pain and insisting on sitting up straight, and his heart became more and more respectful.

Amazing, amazing!

If it weren't for his love for this land and his love for the people on the land, how could the old man's frail body endure such painful torture and come to take the children home?

He calmed down his emotions, bent down and said to Gu Gu, "Gu Gu, I don't know if it's a psychological feeling. Why do I feel more at ease standing on this land?"

Gu Gu smiled more kindly, nodded, and waved slowly to the audience. Lin Rui pushed his wheelchair off the stage and left the venue through the special passage.

…

Kai Tak Airport.

…

"Go back in ancient times?"

Late at night, Li Yuan returned to Qingyi Island Manor after seeing off his guests, and found that his mother was still awake. Seeing that he was in good spirits after returning home, he asked.

Li Yuan suppressed the sadness in his heart, nodded and said with a smile: "I'm back, I can't get used to living here...Mom, why aren't you asleep yet? Brother, aren't you sleepy?"

Mother Li smiled and said, "I can't sleep."

It's not that she couldn't sleep because she was so excited about the return of Hong Kong Island, but the old lady was a little excited when she saw her youngest son and daughter-in-law on stage.

Guangzong Yaozu wow!

Li Chi also sighed and said: "Oh, speaking of these national events, they are not important to us people, but seeing them with my own eyes, I am still so excited that I can't sleep. If dad lives to this moment, he will definitely not be able to sleep."

Mother Li smiled from ear to ear and said, "He is an old official and is stronger than us."

Li Yuan looked around and found a bunch of boys and girls sitting on the ground. He said to Li Rui, Li Zhi, Li Ying and other grandchildren: "Take your brothers to the room to rest. Each of you will have three thousand words of reflection. The day after tomorrow." give it to me."

A group of excited boys who couldn't sleep blinked their eyes one by one, like a basin of cold water... no, like being struck by thunder on the Tianling Cap.

Grandpa Eight is a bit cruel...

The adults all laughed and urged the hundreds of naughty boys to rest.

After the juniors left, a large area was cleared, and it finally seemed like it wasn't full of people.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Uncle Eighth, I still feel like I'm in a dream right now. It's probably still lively in Sijiu City right now."

Li Yuan said "Yeah" and said, "It's essential."

Ji Xiang said: "There are reports on the Internet that one hundred thousand people gathered at Chengtian Gate for a countdown to the carnival!"

Li Jiang said: "It will definitely be more lively than the Chinese New Year! Go home, go home tomorrow!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Second brother, isn't this home?"

Li Jiang scratched his head and laughed: "Yes, yes, I mean, go back to my hometown!"

The eldest sister-in-law also said: "Ezi, will you come back to Sijiu City with us to spend the summer? The weather here sounds like it's more than 20 or 30 degrees, which is not very high, but it's really hot and humid. Although Qinjiazhuang has 34 degrees It’s five degrees, but it’s cool under the trees, so turning on a fan makes it even cooler. The air conditioner is too cold and uncomfortable.”

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Sure! It just so happens that my mother has been talking about Sijiu City recently, and she probably wants to go back and live there for a while."

Li Yuan said: "Okay, I will send you back tomorrow. I will go back to celebrate the New Year this year."

Mother Li was very happy when she heard this and said, "I'm going to bed!"

The group of sisters-in-law all laughed, because they felt relieved when they heard that the youngest was going home to celebrate the New Year this year.

The same goes for Li Chi, Li Jiang and others. Hong Kong Island is a nice place to visit for a few days, but not so comfortable to live there all the time.

Northerners prefer a drier climate.

Everyone was happy to hear that they would be able to go home tomorrow!

After the older generation also went to rest, and the female relatives also went to rest or chat elsewhere, a group of eldest nephews clamored for food and drinks.

Li Yuan laughed and scolded: "You are used to being an official, aren't you? Come here to order some food and wine?"

Li Xing said: "Let the cafeteria in front make some? I really can't calm down to tinker with that right now."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "At this time, we need to be more down-to-earth. The return of Hong Kong Island is due to the Chinese people's ability to endure humiliation and work hard. Don't raise your tail."

Yes, more than 30 nephews and nephews took action together, quickly put wine and food in the living room, and started again.

Li Yuan just ate some cold dishes and drank some wine, watching his nephews making loud noises, and laughing from time to time.

“I’m so touched today, and so honored!”

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Li Kun said with a red face: "I graduated from technical secondary school at the age of 18 and went to work in the Daqing Oilfield in Heilongjiang Province. I am fifty-four years old and have been working for thirty-six years. Although my talent is not high and I cannot compare with the fourth child, I am also diligent and hardworking. I have endured hardships, suffered tiredness, swallowed a lot of grievances, and sometimes wavered. I thought that is enough. I am already over fifty, so I should relax and enjoy a few times. Damn it. I am self-aware, and I really can’t be as selfless for the country as my eighth aunt. But when I think about my eighth uncle staring at me from somewhere, I have to set an example for my brothers, so I have to give it a try. I worked hard on the ground, but to be honest, I still felt tired.

But today, it was worth it, I think it was really worth it! The country took back Hong Kong Island through strength, and at least I, Li Kun, had a share of the hard work! Uncle Eight, tell me, do I have it? "

It was rare that Li Yuan didn't make fun of his eldest nephew, so he raised a cup and touched it with him, saying: "Kun'er, you, the boss, have done a good job and have not embarrassed your grandfather and your father. Not only is it hard work, but it is also merit. "

Li Xing greeted: "Come, come, let's respect big brother! It's not been easy for big brother these years, and he has indeed set a good example for us."

The forty brothers laughed and clinked glasses with Li Kun one by one. Li Kun's eyes were almost red.

Li Cheng smiled and said: "Brother was so excited today that he cried in the convention and exhibition center. But it's not shameful, I also cried. Many people around were crying. Ancient, great man!"

Li Xing smiled and said: "Tomorrow, this sentence will be all over the world's front pages. It's very touching."

Li Si chuckled and said: "There may not be good things out there. In addition to military and financial hegemony, the ghosts also control the hegemony of public opinion. They have a hundred ways to make touching things scary."

After a group of people yelled and cursed for a while, they calmed down from their excitement.

Li Chengdao: "Tangyuan, Soros's Quantum Fund and Robertson's Tiger Fund are madly attacking the Thai baht. Thailand may not be able to hold on, and there may be big problems in Southeast Asia. If big problems occur in Southeast Asia, it may not have a direct impact on the country, but there will definitely be Indirect impact. Once the Thai baht and other Southeast Asian currencies depreciate significantly, our RMB will not be able to take the initiative to depreciate accordingly, and the impact on our export industry will be too great."

He was transferred back to Sijiucheng last year and served as the permanent deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, with a bright future.

Li Xing took a bite of food and sighed: "In fact, the mainland is just hunting rabbits, mainly to harvest Japan and Southeast Asian countries. However, the impact on the mainland will also be huge."

Li Yuan nodded secretly. In fact, large-scale layoffs did not only occur in 1998. After 1992, millions of workers became reemployed every year.

But because there are booming private enterprises taking over, the pain is not deep.

However, after 1997, various countries in Southeast Asia suffered a bloodbath.

The exchange rate has depreciated significantly, and the country has no choice but to continue to serve as a cheap labor force.

However, the RMB insists on not devaluing, exports have become difficult, structural overproduction has emerged, and a large number of private enterprises have collapsed...

There is a problem with the reservoir for laid-off workers, and the impact is naturally heavy.

Li Kun asked in confusion: "How come Japan has been harvested?"

Li Xing smiled and said: "Japanese capital has invested huge amounts in Southeast Asia in recent years. Speaking of which, the beautiful country is really cruel to the Japanese. They started harvesting in 1990 and the harvesting is not over yet. After the Japanese have finished harvesting in the mainland, they are targeting the Japanese again." Their overseas investments are a bit like eradicating the roots. Moreover, after the Southeast Asian countries were robbed and impoverished, they had to accept capital injections from Wall Street and serve as cheap labor to suck their blood from now on. This is the reality of this world. face."

As soon as these words came out, a group of people turned pale.

As a result, it will not only be more difficult to attract investment from Southeast Asia in the future, but also face competition from them.

In that case, the situation would be really bad.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Let's get through it, we will still have to live a few more years of hard life. If we get through it, we will win."

Today is the end of a great era, but it is also the beginning of a new era.

Let’s wait and wait for the storm to rise suddenly!

As for the catastrophic unemployment wave in China, for Datang, it may not be possible to turn disaster into blessing!

After drinking down the glass of wine, Li Yuan told a group of nephews not to be too late, and then went back upstairs to rest.

Let’s celebrate with a drink, but there is still a long way to go...
