Mixed in 1980

Chapter 226 Xu Jinqiu's Action

In the living room, the whole family was there. Chen Musheng sat in the main seat with a serious look on his face. He swept his eyes over everyone and said, "I called you here to tell you about our ancestors."

Xu Jinqiu, Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan looked at each other. What about their ancestors? The situation of Lao Chen's family was not very simple. They were just a working class family.

Chen Fan's grandfather was a carpenter, and his father was also a carpenter. This changed in Chen Fan's generation.

Chen Fan knew about this as he had experienced it in his previous life, but it was only in the late 1980s, after he had achieved success in his career, that his father mentioned it.

My grandfather is from southern Fujian!
When I was young, I went out to work and encountered a local defense corps that was recruiting men. From then on, I fought against the Japanese everywhere. Often, my team was broken up, and I became a defeated soldier, and then I joined a new team...

He went back and forth, running around everywhere, and finally became a refugee. He fled to the capital, and because of his carpentry skills, he was arranged to work in a furniture factory after liberation.

Grandpa never told anyone about these experiences except Dad. He only said that his hometown had suffered a disaster and he had to beg and wander around. Even Chen Fan’s grandmother didn’t know about it.

It was only before his death that the old man told his son to bring his ashes back to his hometown for burial when he had the chance and then have his son included in the family tree.

In his previous life, the reason why Chen Musheng waited until the late 1990s to speak out was mainly because of inconvenient transportation, and secondly because he followed the principle of "don't visit relatives when you are poor".

If the poor relative suddenly comes back, he might have to experience the fickleness of human nature. It’s hard to say whether he can bury the old man’s ashes properly.

But the relatives in my hometown are pretty good.

Chen Fan's great uncle and great aunt are still alive. After they recognized each other in the previous life, the families have been in frequent contact. I can't say that their relationship is very good, but they get along very happily and there are no bad things.

After his father finished explaining the whole story, Chen Fan spoke up: "Dad, how about arranging a summer vacation? Qiu'er and I will graduate by then, so we will have more time."

"Okay, let's arrange it during the summer vacation. Later, you can send someone to inquire about the situation in your hometown. I don't know if there are any relatives there. Your grandfather said that he has a younger brother and a younger sister."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it."

Chen Fan was quite familiar with his hometown, which was a village of neither big nor small. He remembered all the names of the people and would arrange for someone from the foundation to make a trip and pass on the message.

"Is Chen Jianye from southern Fujian?"

Zeng Ali used to work at Peking University and was familiar with Chen Fan's roommates: "How about sending a telegram to Chen Jianye and asking him to come over?"

"It's far away, and he doesn't have a car. It might take two or three days to travel back and forth by bus. It's almost the New Year so we won't bother him."

Southern Fujian was very poor in the 1980s.

The roads from the county seat to the town and then to the mountain village are all muddy. There are many mountains over there, and the roads are all winding. It often takes most of the day to get from the county seat to the countryside.

But my hometown in southern Fujian is really interesting. There are many people and they are very enthusiastic. The concept of family is very strong. There are often only one or two surnames in a village, and they are very united no matter what they do.

In a village or a family, if someone accomplishes something, he will pull his friends to do it together.

That kind of atmosphere of unity cannot be experienced in the city. They are even united when fighting, and it is common for villages to fight against each other.

In the 1990s, Chen Fan went back and had the honor of seeing it once. The scene was more lively than the sound of gongs and drums.

I heard that some villages do not intermarry because of this.

In addition, Chen Fan likes the worship culture there the most. Every New Year and festival, they would pray “dong dong dong”, creating a festive atmosphere.

Anyway, Chen Fan likes that kind of culture very much. Perhaps it is because of this kind of cultural influence that southern Fujian was able to rise rapidly after the reform and opening up.

Chen Fan thought for a while and looked at Xu Jinqiu: "Qiu'er, after the Chinese New Year, let the people from the foundation go to my hometown to collect data. It will be a good time to go back and build a school during the summer vacation."

Xu Jinqiu nodded.

She was still a little confused about her hometown that suddenly appeared in her mind. After returning to Dongkuayuan, Xu Jinqiu was still wondering what the scene would be like when she went to meet her relatives.

But it’s still early, and everyone has a lot of things to do before summer vacation arrives.

In addition to the foundation's affairs, Xu Jinqiu has already started to conceive her graduation thesis. She is not as lucky as Chen Fan, who can go to university with the help of a teacher.

Taking out a pen and paper, she began to think about the topic of the paper. Suddenly, a pair of big hands were placed on her shoulders, and a breath of hot air blew into her ears. Xu Jinqiu couldn't help but blush: "Don't make trouble yet, I'm busy."

"Wife, it's getting dark!"

Hearing this, Xu Jinqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You think about those shitty things when it's dark? It's like there's no light in the house. Comrade Chen Fan, please be normal."

Chen Fan teased, "What else can we do? There is no entertainment at night, what else can we do besides making little people? Otherwise, the birth rate will rise rapidly in recent years."

Xu Jinqiu scolded, "You just have a lot of crooked ideas. Where are you going?"

Chen Fan was slightly stunned. He really hadn't thought it through.

Xu Jinqiu narrowed her eyes and teased, "Going to Big Sister shouldn't be a big problem. She'll be willing to pamper you once in a while, but it's hard to say about Yuanyuan."

Chen Fan agreed with this. The young wife was not easy to mess with, but it was interesting only when she was difficult. He pulled Xu Jinqiu and went straight to the west wing.

"What are you two doing here?" Zhao Yuanyuan looked suspicious.

Chen Fan hummed, "We need to discuss something. The bed in the main room collapsed, so I thought I'd come over and stay here for the night."

Zhao Yuanyuan was disdainful and sneered: "Chen Fan, can you be a little more accurate? How can a big mahogany bed collapse? How about demonstrating it once?" "Okay, let's start!" Chen Fan chuckled.

Zhao Yuanyuan was startled and quickly stepped back, cursing, "Chen Fan, stop messing around and go and make trouble with Xu Jinqiu. I don't have the time for that."

"And Xu Jinqiu, you've been bad since you were little. You're willing to play along with him, so why are you looking for me? Go find your elder sister, don't try to trick me. If that doesn't work, just find someone else outside to make up the numbers."

"Chen Fan, go away, don't touch me!"

Zhao Yuanyuan cursed and retreated, but the room was so small that she had no choice but to surrender and quickly got lost.

It's been a long time!
Zhao Yuanyuan stared at the ceiling in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. After a while, her pretty face turned red, and she pulled the quilt to cover her head, feeling very ashamed.

But the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

We had agreed to date first, but when the relationship didn't work out, he took advantage of her. It hasn't been long since then and she's doing such a shameful thing again.

When Zhao Yuanyuan got angry, she jumped up, started to put on her clothes, pulled out the suitcase from the closet, and started to pack her clothes.

"You bastard, you only know how to bully me."

"I don't want to live with you anymore. I can't live like this for even one more day. If we meet again, don't tell anyone that I know you..."

Hearing this, Xu Jinqiu pushed Chen Fan, her stubborn temper flared up, and she quickly coaxed him to go.

Chen Fan quickly put on his clothes and tried to stop them, but was pulled away, punched, kicked, and cursed: "Get lost, this life is unbearable."

The suitcase is open!

Chen Fan walked over and helped to clean up, saying, "My dear wife, I was wrong. How can I feel at ease if you go back alone?"

After packing the clothes, she brought a few more pieces and said, "You went back to the next yard alone. People who didn't know would think that you three sisters were having a quarrel."

He said this but his hands didn't stop.

Zhao Yuanyuan was stunned. What did this mean? She reached out to stop him, but Chen Fan pushed her away. She could only watch him continue to clean up.

"If you go back like this, my mother will beat me to death. If you turn around, maybe my three fathers-in-law will come over and beat me up..."

Then he picked up another piece of clothing and said, "Oh, I took the wrong one. This one is mine."

Is this the way to keep people?
This is to chase her away. Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't stand it anymore. She kicked Chen Fan away and rushed over: "You bastard, I'm going to fight you!"

Seeing the two of them fighting, Xu Jinqiu almost died of laughter. What a hypocritical performance? Unexpectedly, Chen Fan actually took control of Zhao Yuanyuan.

However, Zhao Yuanyuan has a bad temper. Even if she calms down now, she will make trouble again tomorrow. It is estimated that she will not be nice to Chen Fan for a long time.

This is indeed the case. Until New Year's Eve, Zhao Yuanyuan never gave Chen Fan a good look.

You can go to the west wing, but you won’t be in a good mood!
When she got angry, Zhao Yuanyuan would curse: "Comrade Chen Fan, recognize your position. You are just a tool for sleeping with me now."

After a lively Chinese New Year, Zhao Yuanyuan returned to normal and flew to Hong Kong with Zeng Ali. A lot of things had accumulated at the company.

Lululemon is developing very well, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner as planned, and it has opened many branches in some major cities in Japan and South Korea.

Local capital, smelling the scent of money, has already come to discuss financing.

Zeng Ali has always adhered to a principle, which is to set up agency companies in various countries and allow investors to invest in the agency companies. Similarly, in addition to money, it also depends on the resources that the other party can bring.

As for capital wanting to invest in the brand, Zeng Ali rejected them all without exception. Even if the development was slower, she did not want capital to get involved.

Besides, the brand development is not slow.

The goal this year is very clear, which is to make a breakthrough in the European and American markets. There is no need to expand in a hurry, and the key is to manage the reputation well.

Xu Jinqiu also started working at the foundation. In addition to arranging people to go to southern Fujian to collect data, the focus of his work was on project management and the supervision department.

We strive to put the funds into practical use, as that is our own money, not raised through donations.

Liu Qing has already started working at the foundation. Xu Jinqiu did not assign her a position but gave her a month to familiarize herself with the operations of the foundation.

It will be of great use in the future.

Ability is one thing, but trustworthiness is more important than anything else.

In addition to Liu Qing, there is another newcomer in the foundation, Yan Danqing. The girl is still very young, but she has a refreshing spirit and is a capable person.

When she is free, Xu Jinqiu likes to chat with Yan Danqing. On the one hand, it is because of the relationship between the two families. On the other hand, it is Chen Fan’s instruction to teach Yan Danchen the art of controlling her husband!

Sun Shaojie came to show off his young wife. Isn't this a disguised way of saying that he is old? Xu Jinqiu, who has always been treacherous, can't stand it. Not only must this be done, but it must be done well.

PS: The first update is here, there will be three updates today, please support me by voting at the beginning of the month!
Let me tell you a joke. When I woke up in the morning, I turned over to pick up my phone and sprained my tendons. My left shoulder and neck couldn't move. It was more painful than a stiff neck.
