1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 220 Taking Advantage of Sister-in-law
Minako was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and quickly shook the child gently: "Be good, call me mom again."

Mengmeng turned to Xu Yuexin.

"dad……"

This time, her pronunciation was clearer, and her watery eyes stared at Xu Yuexin.

Xu Yuexin was so happy that he almost took off on the spot and quickly pulled her little hand.

"Be good, I'm the daddy, she's the mommy, and you're Mengmeng."

Xu Yuexin smiled and moved closer to his daughter's face.

The daughter nodded, not quite understanding.

Then, he tilted his head and fell asleep.

"Congratulations, she learned to talk so quickly, she must be a smart baby."

Huizi congratulated Xu Yuexin and Minako.

Xu Yuexin smiled with his facial features relaxed, and he put his hands on his hips in joy: "Of course, if you inherit my genes, how can you not be smart?"

Well, my daughter could speak when she was three months old.

At this moment, Xu Yuexin was really a little bit overwhelmed.

Minako also smiled, and at the same time, water flowed down her face.

"I won't go back today."

Minako instructed the bodyguard beside her, "Cancel the flight ticket. I want to stay here for two more days."

Today was one of the happiest days of her life, second only to when her daughter was born.

Minako had to spend more time with her daughter no matter what.

"Hi."

The female bodyguard obeyed and trotted towards the airport window.

Since Minako wanted to stay with her daughter longer, Mengmeng was taken to the Shinbashi Hotel by her this time.

Correspondingly, it was Xu Yuexin who ran to the Xinqiao Hotel instead of Minako running to Shen Qingru's house.

"This is called a water cup, and this is called a table..."

That afternoon, in the hotel, Xu Yuexin patiently pointed out objects to his daughter, trying to teach her more words.

Minako looked at her daughter tenderly, her eyes full of her.

At this time, Huizi took the milk she had just made and walked to the adults and children.

Mengmeng immediately shifted her gaze away from Xu Yuexin and Minako and stared at the bottle.

"It's time to drink milk."

Huizi reminded quietly.

Xu Yuexin carefully handed the baby to Huizi, and watched her feed with Minako.

Mengmeng held the bottle tightly in both hands and drank the milk in small sips without even blinking.

After his daughter finished drinking milk, Xu Yuexin wanted to hold her and talk to her for a while.

"belch……"

At this time, my daughter burped, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Xu Yuexin and Minako both laughed.

Wouldn't it be nice to give this kid more opportunities to communicate?

Huizi carefully put Mengmeng on the bed and covered her with a small quilt.

Xu Yuexin and Minako watched her fall asleep, whispered to each other, and then went to the balcony.

"The child is growing up really well."

Xu Yuexin said with emotion, "Maybe, she will walk faster than other children later."

"Well, it should be."

Minako said with a smile in her eyes.

At this time, they both turned their gaze to the balcony.

There were many construction sites outside, and even at night, all the lights were on and people were working.

"Your capital has started a major construction, right?"

Minako asked in fascination.

"Yes, now we need to not only build houses for the young people who return to the city, but also build factories and shopping malls to provide them with jobs."

"Also, population mobility has been relaxed, and farmers have started to move to the city to work."

"Oh... the weather is very good."

Minako said, her eyes fixed on the distance, as if she was lost in thought.

Xu Yuexin also looked into the distance.

At present, there are still many vacant lots and farmlands within the Third Ring Road of Beijing.

But soon, this place will be filled with more and more high-rise buildings.

For the country, this is an economic take-off.

And for individuals like him, it means opportunities for wealth.

The same is true for Minako, who controls the consortium.

As long as she is willing to enter, the mainland market will provide her with an amazing rate of return.

"Why, are you interested in investing?"

Xu Yuexin asked Minako.

"Well, I want to try it."

Minako was quite excited and said, "I just took over the group, and I need to show results to convince those old people."

"If it is true as you said, that the mainland is opening up to the outside world more and more, then I will seize this opportunity."

"Come on, I welcome you on my own behalf."

Xu Yuexin said with a smile, "That way you will have more opportunities to meet your children."

"Um……"

Minako agreed, turning to look at Meng Meng who was sleeping in the room.

……

Time flies, and even though Minako decided to stay for two more days, the day of departure soon arrived.

Xu Yuexin sent Minako to the international airport and waved goodbye to her.

Because it was windy today, they didn't bring Mengmeng here.

Of course there was another reason, which was that she was afraid that Minako would be reluctant to leave after seeing the child.

"Make sure you take good care of the children."

Before leaving, Minako held Xu Yuexin's hands with both hands and said, "She is my life."

"Don't worry, she's my life too."

Xu Yuexin said, placing his other big hand on Minako's hand.

After leaving the airport, Xu Yuexin returned home, took out 50,000 yuan and went to Xicheng District, knocking on the door of Shen Qingru's house.

After entering the room, Xu Yuexin teased Mengmeng, then asked Huizi to take the child back to the room, and took out 50,000 yuan from his backpack.

"What are you doing?"

When Aunt Shen saw so much money piled on the table, she looked at Xu Yuexin in surprise.

"The child will have to stay in your home for a while, and there will be a lot of expenses during this period."

"Of course, mainly to thank you for your kindness."

"No, it's nice to have a child at home."

Aunt Shen pushed the bundles of banknotes towards Xu Yuexin and refused in a soft voice.

Xu Yuexin was happy to see this.

"You like this kid too?"

"I'll tell you, Mengmeng is so smart and pretty, you will definitely like her."

"At least she's not so lonely."

Aunt Shen thought for a moment and said.

"To be honest, I plan to leave the child with you for a long time."

"So you should take the money."

Xu Yuexin persuaded.

Just now at the airport, Minako also expressed that she would reward Aunt Shen handsomely.

But if she told Shen Qingru now, she would definitely refuse, so Minako never mentioned it again after the first time.

"No need. The one you gave me before hasn't been touched much."

"Besides, the supplies are all yours. She won't cost me much."

"Then you have to keep it too."

Xu Yuexin said, "This is the money I paid on behalf of Minako."

"After all, she is a big conglomerate in Japan. If she leaves her child with someone else, she won't be able to raise the child. If the news gets out, she will be laughed at."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bedroom: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to see my daughter."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Aunt Shen called out hurriedly.

She really had no idea what to do with the money on the table.

Xu Yuexin didn't respond to her. He walked straight into the bedroom, closed the door, and started teasing his daughter.

"What is this called?"

Xu Yuexin picked up the music box on the bedside table and shook it towards his daughter who was lying in the rocking bed.

"dad!"

The daughter's eyes were clear and her tone was firm.

Xu Yuexin and Huizi laughed.

The child now only knows how to call dad and mom, so when he sees something, he either calls dad or mom.

"It's called a music box, not daddy."

Xu Yuexin corrected his daughter with a smile.

"dad……"

My daughter still didn't correct herself and kept muttering to herself.

It doesn’t matter if he can’t call out, because he’s learned to call mom and dad early enough anyway.

The rest can be learned slowly.

Xu Yuexin thought to himself.

He has a Buddhist attitude towards his children's growth and will not deliberately raise their standards too early.

He is very satisfied with his daughter's current situation.

……

A few days later, in the Duke's Mansion.

After visiting his daughter again, Xu Yuexin returned home and tidied the flowers and plants in the front yard.

These days, in addition to being a nanny to Shen Qingru's house, he also met with Soviet trade personnel twice.

During the meeting, the other party again proposed to him the demand for barter trade. After Xu Yuexin negotiated with them, he issued an order to Hong Kong to provide another batch of TV chips to the Soviet Union.

The profits from this trade were even greater than the previous one, conservatively estimated at $720 million.

If the goods provided by the Soviets could be sold at a normal price, the profit would be higher.

Xu Yuexin also planned how to use the money.

No action was taken at all and all the money was put into chip research and development.

The R&D investment provided by Xu Yuexin last time has already yielded results. The company's 28-micron chip has been successfully taped out and is about to be put into production.

Compared with 40-micron chips, 28-micron chips can be used in higher-end TV models and are more expensive.

The current market price of a 40-micron chip is $30, while the market price of a 28-micron chip is $80.

After deducting R&D and production costs, the improvement in process technology can enable Xu Yuexin to earn an extra $40 per chip, quadrupling the factory's annual profit.

Excluding the barter trade with the Soviet Union, the Kwai Chung factory will be able to earn 1200 million Hong Kong dollars every year in the future.

Xu Yuexin currently has no plans to expand the production scale of Huaguang chips because the company's chip manufacturing process will continue to improve in the future.

And every progress means the replacement and redoing of the assembly line.

Expanding the scale too much prematurely will actually increase the cost of replacing the assembly line.

The most important thing is to seize the technological high ground first.

Xu Yuexin told Chen Yixue everything about the development of the chip company.

"1200 million Hong Kong dollars a year? That's a lot."

In the house in Tuanjiehu, after playing the piano, the aunt said to Xu Yuexin, "Do you want to visit Xiangjiang more often?"

"So that I can understand the company's situation?"

"I do plan to go there."

Xu Yuexin said, "The time has not been set yet."

"Oh……"

The sister-in-law nodded and said, "I also want to go to Hong Kong, how about coming together?"

"Okay, when is convenient for you?"

Xu Yuexin naturally welcomed the invitation from his sister-in-law.

"Maybe in another week."

The sister-in-law said.

"I bought the plane ticket in advance."

"Well, I should stay in Hong Kong longer this time."

"how long?"

"I don't know. I want to set up a record company. I will come back when I have completed the establishment of the company."

My sister-in-law is also going to Hong Kong to set up a company?

Xu Yuexin's heart moved and some ideas emerged in his mind.

Otherwise, why not let her join his and Lin Qingxia’s company and become a shareholder?

Xu Yuexin pondered.

"You have already set up an entertainment company?"

When Xu Yuexin told his sister-in-law about his idea, she said in surprise.

"Of course not. I have long been planning to develop across industries."

Xu Yuexin raised his eyebrows slightly and put on a very handsome expression.

The sister-in-law hesitated.

My sister-in-law knows that it is not easy to venture into the Hong Kong music industry alone.

But if he wanted to join Xu Yuexin's company, he was afraid that he would control him even more severely.

Forget it. Hasn’t he controlled me enough in the past?
The sister-in-law thought about it and finally gritted her teeth and said.

"I don't want to take your shares for nothing."

After a long while, the eldest sister-in-law said, "I will invest money in the company."

"Hey, what are you thinking? I never intended to let you take the dry shares."

Xu Yuexin said with a smile.

The sister-in-law blushed at what he said: It turned out that she was just being too sentimental.

Xu Yuexin saw his sister-in-law's embarrassment and calmly explained to her.

"If I were the only shareholder of the company, I would certainly give you dry shares."

"But now Lin Qingxia still has shares in the company, and I have to take her feelings into consideration."

"I see."

The embarrassment on my sister-in-law's face faded a little, and she nodded and said, "How much is one share of your company currently?"

"Well, we haven't developed into a joint-stock company yet, so there is no such thing as a certain price per share."

"When we go to Hong Kong later, I will tell you the price of 1% of the shares based on the company's development situation."

Xu Yuexin said, "By the way, have you been practicing the piano a lot recently?"

"A lot of practice, why?"

"I want to listen for a while longer. Can you play a few of your favorite songs?"

Xu Yuexin asked.

"Then play Für Elise first, then Autumn Whispers."

After saying this, my sister-in-law sat down in front of the piano and put her hands on the keys.

As the melodious and clear piano music sounded, Xu Yuexin closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa behind his sister-in-law.

Compared to before, my sister-in-law's piano skills have improved a lot.

According to Xu Yuexin's intuition, her current piano level is among the higher ones even among professional performers. The piano sound flows slowly in the living room like a stream, and Xu Yuexin quietly appreciates it until the end of the song.

"If you were still in the art troupe, you could be promoted to a senior professor just for your piano skills."

When his sister-in-law stopped, Xu Yuexin immediately opened his eyes and started to flatter her.

"I like to hear that."

The eldest sister-in-law smiled and turned to look at him and said, "But there is only one senior position for an instrument in the entire cultural troupe, so it shouldn't be my turn."

"Is there anyone in the art troupe who can play better than you?"

Xu Yuexin pretended to be surprised.

"Of course. Our art troupe selects the best talents from across the country, and we have no shortage of experts in any field."

When talking about her past unit, my sister-in-law turned around and raised her face slightly, speaking like a proud peacock.

"You are really amazing. You got in at such a young age."

Xu Yuexin quickly continued to praise.

Since being with him, my sister-in-law has fallen into depression several times.

It’s rare to see my sister-in-law so happy today, I have to hurry up and coax her.

"Yes. That year, the children's group of the cultural troupe only had one spot in the entire city. Many families wanted to send their children there."

"Ugh……"

Having said that, my sister-in-law sighed again.

"Why, this is a happy thing, why are you sighing again?"

Xu Yuexin asked with concern.

The sister-in-law shook her head, walked over to the sofa next to him and sat down, looking up at the ceiling, as if reminiscing about the past.

When Xu Yuexin saw his sister-in-law's appearance, he roughly guessed something.

According to the time calculation, when my sister-in-law joined the art troupe, her parents were just being sent down to the countryside.

My sister-in-law was selected from thousands of candidates to join the art troupe. She then worked hard at a young age. Her goal was definitely to support her parents and sister and support the family.

Who would have known that after she helped her family through the most difficult times, her mother would turn against her for money.

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will feel sad when thinking about it.

Xu Yuexin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart, and gently hugged the shoulders of his sister-in-law beside him.

"Think about what we need to do when we go to Hong Kong later."

Xu Yuexin did not comfort her directly, but distracted his sister-in-law and said, "Even if I agree to your investment, you have to ask Lin Qingxia for her opinion at that time."

"Ok, I know."

The sister-in-law took a deep breath and leaned on Xu Yuexin's shoulder.

Since the trip to Dongyang, Xu Yuexin has fulfilled his promise to his sister-in-law and visits her from time to time.

Whenever my sister-in-law's mood was up or down, she would get his timely comfort.

Therefore, unknowingly, her dependence on Xu Yuexin gradually increased, and she also got used to confiding her thoughts to Xu Yuexin.

"I think if I lived in a normal family, I would be able to get along well with my parents."

The sister-in-law murmured to herself on Xu Yuexin's shoulder.

"Of course. If anyone has a daughter like you, they will wake up laughing in their dreams."

Xu Yuexin said.

"Um……"

The sister-in-law left Xu Yuexin's shoulder, looked at him solemnly and said, "I haven't told you this before."

"In fact, my mother contacted me recently and wanted to shake hands and make peace with me."

Zhou Zhifeng seeks reconciliation with her sister-in-law?
Xu Yuexin was shocked when he heard this.

If I reconcile with her, won't my sister-in-law have a bottomless pit by her side in the future?
With Zhou Zhifeng's personality, even if it was a mountain of gold and silver, she could swallow it in one gulp without spitting it out.

"Oh? What do you think about this?"

Xu Yuexin looked at his sister-in-law seriously.

The sister-in-law chuckled.

"Look how nervous you are."

"I definitely won't agree to that."

"I just yearn for that kind of warm family, but I'm not stupid enough to imagine that she can give me that kind of atmosphere."

The sister-in-law put her face on Xu Yuexin's chest, closed her eyes and said with a somewhat relieved tone, "Anyway, in today's society, one can live well alone, right?"

"No, there's Qiaoqiao, and there's me."

Xu Yuexin put his arms around her shoulders and said.

"Qiaoqiao can have it, but you can forget about it."

The sister-in-law snorted.

"You really think so?"

Xu Yuexin pretended to be angry and then slapped his sister-in-law hard on her peach butt.

"Don't make a scene."

The eldest sister-in-law quickly got up from Xu Yuexin's arms, looked at him with a red face and said, "I have to go pack my luggage."

"You're leaving next week, why rush?"

Xu Yuexin followed behind her and said.

"That also needs to be prepared in advance."

The eldest sister-in-law said, and then she hugged her arms in front of the full and firm peaks, "Okay, don't follow me in, I want to clean up by myself."

"Why, you don't feel at ease when I'm around?"

"You are too easily distracted then."

Xu Yuexin said jokingly on purpose.

"Oh, don't think I don't know what you want to do."

After saying this, my sister-in-law turned around, walked quickly into the bedroom, and locked the door.

Xu Yuexin was neither pleased nor disappointed by his sister-in-law's behavior.

Originally, when his sister-in-law leaned on Xu Yuexin's shoulder, he felt very itchy.

But now she closed the door and isolated herself.

This is really difficult to deal with.

Xu Yuexin thought gloomily.

He decided to play some tricks on his sister-in-law.

"I am not yet willing to enter your room."

Xu Yuexin pretended to be indifferent and stood up and walked to the door.

"I am leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yuexin opened the door handle and slammed the door shut.

Of course, he did not go out, but tiptoed back into the house and leaned on the balcony.

In the bedroom, the sister-in-law heard Xu Yuexin's movements and felt relieved.

She was afraid that Xu Yuexin would do something bad to her.

Now that Xu Yuexin has left, she can finally go out.

With a "creak", my sister-in-law pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the living room happily and easily, intending to play two more piano pieces.

However, at this time, the sister-in-law found that Xu Yuexin was leaning comfortably on the balcony, looking at her with a mocking expression.

be cheated……

The sister-in-law thought depressedly and turned around to go back to the bedroom.

But Xu Yuexin was prepared. He walked quickly forward and put his arms around his sister-in-law's shoulders, preventing her from moving forward.

"What do you want to do?"

The sister-in-law tried to break free and asked unhappily.

"Why, your luggage is packed as soon as I leave?"

Xu Yuexin asked in his sister-in-law's ear.

The sister-in-law was speechless for a while.

"As long as you don't do anything rash, I won't lie to you."

After a moment's silence, she spoke seriously.

Seeing his sister-in-law's somewhat depressed expression, the heat that had originally surged in Xu Yuexin's body subsided a little.

Ever since he came back last time, Xu Yuexin found that his sister-in-law was in a depressed mood. He was afraid that something might happen to her, so he had been refraining from being intimate with her.

Even when the two of them lived in a farmhouse in Dongyang, they each had a bed.

Xu Yuexin originally wanted to test his sister-in-law today to see if she had recovered mentally.

As a result, my sister-in-law only looked cheerful on the surface, but she would still have a depression attack when it came to being intimate.

Xu Yuexin was a little scared.

"You...are you feeling okay now?"

He let go of his sister-in-law and asked carefully.

"Fortunately, it's not as sad as it was before."

The sister-in-law walked towards the balcony, holding the edge of the balcony and muttering to herself, "As long as... you don't irritate me."

Stimulate?

This specifically refers to...

Many ideas emerged in Xu Yuexin's mind.

First of all, be careful when it comes to Chen Qiaoqiao and never make your sister-in-law feel guilty.

Also, the two of them should not be intimate for now, otherwise the sister-in-law might become upset.

Xu Yuexin analyzed in his mind and returned to the balcony to look into the distance with his sister-in-law.

But Xu Yuexin is still a little strange.

Just now when he patted his sister-in-law's peachy buttocks, his sister-in-law clearly blushed.

Why do you start to feel unhappy afterwards?

Xu Yuexin wondered and asked this question to his sister-in-law.

"I don't know... Anyway, I definitely don't hate you."

After spending so much time with Xu Yuexin, the sister-in-law was able to open up to him, so she said truthfully, "But whenever I calm down and think about Qiaoqiao, I feel very sorry for her."

"I will feel sad."

It turns out to be the same old problem...

After hearing this, Xu Yuexin let out a long sigh.

It seems that this problem is not so easy to solve.

"You don't have to feel that you are at fault. It's all my fault."

Xu Yuexin said to his sister-in-law seriously, "Without me, there wouldn't be so many things happening today."

"..."

The sister-in-law closed her beautiful eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then opened her eyes wide and shook her head fiercely, "No, I can't lie to myself with such words."

"I really can't lie to myself anymore..."

The sister-in-law's expression changed drastically when she spoke, which scared Xu Yuexin so much that he quickly hugged her.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you again."

Xu Yuexin immediately made a promise to the sister-in-law in his arms.

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, the most important thing at this time is to stabilize your sister-in-law.

But don't make her mentally abnormal, that would be a real sin.

The sister-in-law then calmed down a little and pushed Xu Yuexin away weakly.

"Can you take that seriously?"

She looked at Xu Yuexin in a daze. Her usually dignified and beautiful face now looked pitiful.

"I can take it seriously. I will do what I say."

"But you've lied to me many times."

"I will never lie to you again this time."

Xu Yuexin gritted his teeth, held his sister-in-law's shoulders and said, "If you lie to you again, I will leave you and Qiaoqiao myself."

The sister-in-law lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I believe you for the last time."

"Don't let me down again."

"Ah."

Xu Yuexin agreed softly.

The way things had turned out was a bit beyond Xu Yuexin's imagination.

He originally thought that with his own conditions and concern for his sister-in-law, he should be able to win her over easily.

Who knew that even though they got it, it was not stable.

The reason is that he underestimated the moral concepts of people of this era.

Xu Yuexin thought with a headache.

As the two were talking, dark clouds floated in the sky outside.

The wind also started to blow harder.

"Go back, don't be blown by the wind."

Xu Yuexin said to his sister-in-law, now he didn't even dare to hold her hand.

"You go back, I want to get some fresh air."

The sister-in-law closed her eyes and said towards the cool breeze blowing from the balcony.

The sky was overcast and the wind was strong; the only sound outside the window was the rustling of leaves.

My sister-in-law stood facing the wind with her eyes closed and a melancholy expression, her thick black hair was blown slightly messy.

Xu Yuexin didn't dare to go back alone, so he had to stay with his sister-in-law on the balcony.

"Ah che..."

Half a day later, my sister-in-law sneezed.

"Go back, you've caught a cold."

Xu Yuexin grabbed his sister-in-law's wrist and said.

"Um……"

The sister-in-law nodded and pulled her wrist out.

She wanted to relax in the cool breeze, but ended up catching a cold.

Back in the house, Xu Yuexin cooked dinner for the two of them.

It was about to rain heavily outside and he couldn't go out to buy vegetables, so he used the vegetables available at home to make two bowls of vegetable noodles for himself and his sister-in-law.

After making the noodles, Xu Yuexin brought two bowls to the table and started eating.

After eating half a bowl, he raised his head, only to find that his sister-in-law had not eaten two.

"Why don't you eat?"

"No appetite."

The sister-in-law shook her head slightly, looking lazy and with an unnatural blush on her face.

Xu Yuexin felt something was wrong and reached out to touch her forehead.

Sure enough, I had a fever.

Ultimately, it was the gust of wind that caused the trouble.

"You have a fever. Drink a cup of hot water and go back to your room and lie down."

Xu Yuexin put down his chopsticks and asked, "Do you have any antipyretic medicine at home?"

"No, I'll just go take a rest."

The sister-in-law said weakly, and stood up to go back to the bedroom.

As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and her body fell to the side uncontrollably.

Xu Yuexin was quick to act and quickly hugged his sister-in-law into his arms: "Just lie down and I'll go buy you some antipyretic medicine."

"Uh-huh……"

The sister-in-law murmured vaguely. At this time, she had a fever so severe that she could hardly speak.

"I'll be back in a minute."

Xu Yuexin helped his powerless sister-in-law into the bedroom and laid her down on the bed. Then he went downstairs, got on his motorcycle, and headed for a pharmacy in the distance.

"Rumble..."

Not long after, a loud thunder sounded in the sky.

Suddenly, it rained heavily and the sky was leaking.
