Chapter 360 Grandma and the Past
After Lao Xinxiao met her grandma, they handed over the test items. While waiting, they chatted. The elderly people of course remembered the past.
I learned from my grandma that their era was an era of fighting.
Other countries have already invaded the territory. They used artillery and planes to drop explosive bombs at first.
After the explosion, come up from the sea.
Of course our people have to stop them, because the country is poor and not everyone has weapons. Some even carry sticks, those ancient weapons.
Even the guys farming in the fields, can these be compared to artillery shells, to armored aircraft, to dropping bombs from airplanes?
In this process, not only many houses were destroyed, but casualties were inevitable during the confrontation.
We have many people, all of whom are good swimmers. They come in from the sea and kill them quietly. Although there will be many casualties in this way, we can still kill some.
Old Xinxiao’s students turned out to be students, a new generation of students. They were in middle school at that time and were in the middle of a fierce battle.
In addition to marching, these students used their fearless spirit to confront those people.
The two are classmates and they have experienced a lot together.
At that time, the whole people were fighting against each other. At that time, the army and the people were already one family.
At that time, when the war against foreign enemies just began, there were many soldiers led by different people.
The two of them were just organized by the school and later joined the party.
One of them is the daughter of a wealthy family, and the other is an ordinary farmer.
At that time, those who could study were generally young masters and young ladies from wealthy families. In general, only boys could study.
When the whole people were fighting against certain people, some people were unlucky enough to be caught.
The two of them were also arrested, but the rich lady was arrested with other people while dressing up as a man. They were arrested at that time and were not released.
Both of them would be tortured and then saved.
After many times, many times in danger, almost got caught.
Until the two got older and they had children, the wealthy daughter still got married without telling her family.
But at this time, many wealthy people began to flee by water.
When the war was fierce, many people took refuge and fled to places where they were not targeted by the enemy.
Although this place is only a few dozen kilometers away from some mountainous county towns and other places.
There was resistance in the front, but the areas behind were not occupied by those people.
Many people voted for it in other cities or counties.
The old lady’s family is going to flee to Jinshan. Of course, they need some protection if they have a boat.
In the beginning, their ships were just ordinary medium-sized ships and could not go very far.
Their first thought was to flee to Xiangjiang.
The old woman did not tell her family that she was married and had a child. Her family asked her to go back, but she did not dare to let her family know, so she could only entrust the child to her family first.
As a husband, of course he is not at ease. His wife has left, and he is afraid that he will break up if he disagrees.
So they concealed their identity again and met her family at Lao Nai, who wanted to take her elsewhere.
They are now husband and wife, and they are revolutionary comrades, but they don’t want to leave, their hometown, or their children.
The old lady’s family can’t control that much. They have money to donate, but they don’t want their daughter to do such dangerous things. They left again, and of course they had to take their daughter with them.
Later, the couple had no choice but to find a way and asked someone to send the letter back. The old woman regarded the old grandfather as her follower.
I followed my family to Xiangjiang.
In that era of artillery fire, Xiangjiang was not safe either. They had no choice but to go further.
But they took money and gold with them when they left.
Of course, dangers were also encountered during the most escaping process.
They are the kind of people who take care of their whole family and are well-dressed. They are definitely fat sheep.
Wherever they go they will be watched, but in addition to money, they also have weapons.
A group of people escorted.
Finally they bought tickets to Jinshan, and a large number of people got on the boat.
On the way to Jinshan, of course I also encountered pirates, but they also had guys in their hands.
After arriving at Jinshan, the old lady told her family that they were already husband and wife.
Of course I was punished by my family.
There is also the idea of breaking them up.
The old lady will not be punished by them. She will live or die and will not marry anyone else.
When they first arrive in a place, even though they have money, they still need to buy a house and make a living in order to be rich and wealthy for a long time.
They are all good at doing business at home. Even if they go abroad, they will encounter some setbacks in an unfamiliar environment. If they have money in hand, money can make all the difference, and they will gradually be able to gain a firm foothold.
It’s not safe, you can ask more people to protect you.
The old man became his son-in-law and started learning business from him.
Later, I gradually started my own business, which was different from my family’s business.
The old man followed his father-in-law’s family at first. When he was doing things, of course some people looked down upon him.
Think of him as a freeloader.
But I didn’t expect that the old grandfather also had a talent for business.
Having a family background, I started to get the first pot of gold in starting a business again. I started from a young age and gradually expanded.
It actually created a company for him.
At this time, the country had been liberated, and many people who had gone abroad had returned.
But some people didn't go back.
In the 1960s and 1970s, in this era, people abroad did not dare to return.
Those who have overseas relatives at home dare not spread the news and keep it secret.
My grandfather has not corresponded with his family for many years. At first, he could not send back the information.
Later I didn’t dare to pass it on.
When the time came for reform and opening up, I was still worried that the current situation would be unstable and writing letters back would harm my family.
It was only in the 1980s that I began to write letters tentatively.
But I just communicated with my family.
There was no such thing as sending money. In the 1990s, many people were able to return to China to do business.
In fact, many people returned to China to do business in the 1980s.
Grandpa also wants to do business back home.
However, other children were born at this time. If he wanted to return to China to do business, he would not be able to manage the business between the two countries.
Just choose to send money back.
I want to know how my eldest son is doing.
They cannot participate in the marriage and birth of their children, and they cannot participate in their children's entrepreneurship.
But he sent a lot of money back, all because his brother wrote a letter about his children starting a business and so on. He also said that his grandchildren are relatively poor when they are studying.
At this time, the grandpa’s company had grown quite large, and the grandma was no longer the one relying on her parents’ family.
Since coming abroad, she learned to paint, and she already had a talent for painting.
It is a certain wealthy lady who does not need to use his words to support her family. Gradually she becomes famous, her paintings can be sold, and she can recruit apprentices.
I will go to some schools to take official positions.
……
Lao Xinxiao’s original story was that her grandma sent her adoptive grandpa a lot of money, including money for her father to start a business and money for their brothers and sisters to study.
She hates it, how much does it cost?
No wonder they started a business, and the second uncle also started a business. He also said that it was the second aunt’s family who supported it, and they did not have a loan.
According to the parents' account, they wanted to start a business back then. Although the government provided entrepreneurial discounts, if they wanted to get a loan to start a business, someone had to be in a certain bank or something to get a loan.
From the dark history of loans and the like, it is not just about interest, but also giving red envelopes to others.
Like a loan shark, a loan of 120,000 will be given as a red envelope of 60,000, with a repayment of 120,000 and high interest.
All these years they just want to repay the loan. Although they have made some money, they are making money for others.
Their family also paid off their loan.
Lao Xinxiao was even thinking, if their family had to repay so many loans, would their brothers and sisters be better off?
Is it possible to study instead of dropping out of school early to work?
I remember that when they were studying, they had to help their families with work.
Think about your parents working from dawn to dusk and not accumulating much wealth.
If they had that amount of money, would they live like rich ladies?
If I had that kind of money, would I be able to turn a small textile factory into a large enterprise?
With that amount of money, will their brothers and sisters not have to worry about studying?
If she had that amount of money, she wouldn't be so miserable in her previous life.
If my family's business becomes bigger, I can go to school for a few more years, and I don't have to work in other people's factories, so I won't be framed in the future.
Old Xinxiao’s eyes were red with anger, and the suffering of his previous life was still vivid in his mind.
The hardships their family lived, and the hardships she lived, were not only framed by her enemies, but also the bad things done by her adoptive grandfather's family.
Old Xinxiao angrily told his grandparents what had happened to their family over the years.
They didn't see any of the money sent. Instead, they gave it as an annual gift, and every year they gave money to grandparents on their birthdays.
There is also monthly rations. He also said that he is the eldest son of his family and he has to go to them if anything happens.
And he noticed that his grandma treated their family differently from other uncles and aunts.
Lao Xiyang and his wife couldn't help crying.
They didn’t know this situation yet, they just thought that the money they sent back was for their son to start a business and for their grandchildren to study, and they had fulfilled their responsibilities.
They also thought about realizing their dreams, reuniting the family, and wanted to bring them all over.
But I never thought that my younger brother was so bad, not spending a penny to his own son, and treating him badly.
Immigration does not have a share in the family of one’s own son or family.
To realize the dream and reunite the family.
How dare he have to kiss his younger brother?
Replace the name of your biological son with your own son, so that they will never see their son, grandson, or granddaughter for the rest of their lives.
If my brother succeeds, I will not only give them shares, but also let them live a good life in the future.
Thinking of this makes me angry.
The old woman was also angry. It wasn’t that she didn’t want her eldest son. He had also wanted to go back these years, but was afraid that he would never come back again.
I have been living more comfortably these past few years. With other children around me, my concern for my eldest son has faded.
Then there were career issues. She was very busy at home and in her career.
Whenever I have time, I will be busy with my own career.
Lao Xinxiao saw the two old men angry.
She was also very angry, and was afraid that the anger of the two old men would damage her health.
It is the comfort of tea words and tea talk.
“I raise my grandpa and my grandma. Although my father’s treatment of our family is different from that of other uncles and aunts, at least he didn’t starve his father and raised him up. We should be filial to them, but... …”
The topic that Lao Xinxiao didn’t talk about was that he had failed his grandparents’ love for their son and their brothers and sisters. They had not received any compensation at all.
Over the years, they have been able to repay their loans, although they are a little better than the ordinary old farmers who rely on farming to survive the sun and rain.
Hard-working old farmers can rest at home sometimes when it rains.
Those who work in factories can’t wait to be at work all day long.
Son, sometimes they have to go to the beach to pick up seafood and go to the mountains to find trees.
They are close to the beach, but far away from here. Sometimes they still pick up driftwood on the beach on heavy rainy days.
More people burn coal and spend money to buy coal.
Zhong Xiangrui, an outsider, was thinking a lot and felt angry. However, as an outsider, he couldn't talk about other people's family affairs. He could only be angry and listen silently.
The words spoken by Lao Xinxiao could not comfort a certain chairman and his wife.
I feel I owe my own sons, grandchildren, and granddaughters.
The old couple have already thought of allowing them to immigrate here as compensation, giving them more shares, their private money and real estate, and giving them more to compensate them.
Because they were angry, the couple was so cruel that no matter what the test results were, they would not talk about the immigration of their younger brother and his family.
Although they won’t get back the money they send back, they won’t be able to borrow so much money in the future.
It is impossible to give them company shares and real estate.
Because the test they take is expedited and can be detected in a few hours.
After six o'clock in the evening, the inspection report finally came out.
Looking at the documents, the hands of the old Xiyang couple trembled.
They were excited, and just as they thought in their hearts, the old Xinxiao was indeed their granddaughter.
Now that they know that Lao Xinxiao is their granddaughter, of course they have to take her home, and Zhong Xiangrui will also stay at their home as a guest.
The couple wanted to let their relatives immigrate before, but they would not let them live in their own home forever. The tree has big branches, but they already have enough real estate and land to build a house.
When they live in this city in the future, they don’t need to worry about houses and can use shops to do business.
It had been planned for them, but they had no other ideas at first, so they rented out the shops they bought for their families, or started a business.
It can make money for their future life as a guarantee.
Of course I also thought that since I didn’t study much in China, it would be impossible for me to hold some important positions in the company.
If the children at home cannot hold important positions, they will lose face. Some people have no face and would rather not work or live in old age.
Old Xinxiao followed his grandparents back to a certain manor.
Of course Zhong Xiangrui has to follow, like a bodyguard to a flower protector.
Old Xinxiao saw that it was already seven o'clock, and it took more than an hour to get here from that place. Such a large manor consisted of one large house and several small houses.
There is not only accommodation for the host family, but also accommodation for the workers.
There are greenhouses, swimming pools and entertainment facilities, gardens and the like.
The whole thing is like a rich man's castle.
