The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

January 18, 1990, Yanjiagang Airport in Harbin.

A passenger plane flying from Beijing landed smoothly on the runway.

After slowing down and taxiing, we soon arrived at a helipad.

This is a private helipad for private jets, and Wang Duoyu always takes off and lands here when he returns to Harbin.

He no longer goes to the waiting hall or passenger entrances; instead, he boards or disembarks directly here.

Some people can exercise privileges, and Wang Duoyu's identity itself means that he needs to have such privileges.

Otherwise, it would be bad if he showed up in the airport terminal.

After all, his current status is completely different, and his security protection is much stricter.

"Dad, we're finally back! We'll see Mom soon!"

As Wang Yifei stepped off the plane, she was cheering and jumping for joy, overjoyed.

Even when her father tried to carry her, the little girl refused; she wanted to walk on her own.

"Yes, we'll see Mommy soon. Slow down, don't run."

This child is not even two and a half years old. He can run, but he is very prone to falling.

So Wang Duoyu was quite afraid that the little guy would fall and get hurt. If he did, he and Liu Xiaoli would be heartbroken.

"Dad, I know."

The little kid, on the other hand, wasn't very obedient. She said she knew, but she didn't actually know.

There's a saying that goes, "When we have someone we want to protect, we feel that whatever she does is dangerous."

Wang Duoyu really wanted to protect his daughter and his three sons.

For example, Wang Junhong, the boss, wants to become a pilot. Isn't Wang Duoyu worried?
Of course he was very worried, so sometimes he was quite afraid that it wasn't Wang Junhong calling, but the flight unit.

At this moment, Wang Yifei, this little kid, slowly stepped off the plane with her short legs.

However, Wang Duoyu quickly picked her up.

Yuan Zuliang and the others were ahead and wanted to help, but they weren't as quick as Wang Duoyu.

After getting into the car, the little girl proudly made a face at her father, "Hehehe, Dad, you're such a stubborn old man. I told you I'm fine, right? You didn't believe me, hehe."

"Who taught you that? Do you think I'm some kind of old fogey? Watch me tickle you."

"Hehe, you can't scratch me, haha, Daddy, don't!"

The lively and joyful time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the car had returned to the island in the middle of the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Liu Xiaoli and her family had already received the news. Liu Xiaoli was even on the phone with her daughter, Wang Yifei, who was constantly reporting the car's location.

When she encounters something she doesn't understand or a road sign she can't read, she will ask her father.

So when the car stopped, Wang Junhong and the others all gathered around it.

"Dad (Uncle)!"

A group of kids surrounded the car, cheering excitedly.

Especially the two brothers, Wang Junkang and Wang Junan, had eyes filled with resentment and envy.

To be honest, if they hadn't caught a cold back then, they would have had the chance to go to the capital with them.

We agreed that I would only stay in Beijing for a week, but I only came back today, and it's been almost half a month.

This business trip was really long.

"The gift is in the car behind. Go get it yourself, but don't break it."

After Wang Duoyu got off the bus, he said something with a smile, and then the kids all rushed to the back.

Actually, the children weren't particularly craving those gifts, since they had plenty of them at home.

Each child has their own room, which is filled with toys.

Not only do Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli buy gifts regularly, but the two sisters, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe, also frequently buy gifts for birthdays and holidays every year.

The two sisters always buy gifts in large quantities.

Why did they leave their children to be raised at their ninth brother's house?

Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, and the other children all have their own rooms at Wang Duoyu's house.

The villas on the island in the lake have enough rooms to comfortably provide one room for each child.

Since they weren't short of gifts, Wang Jun'an and the other children shouldn't have run to the car behind them immediately after hearing the word "gift."

They were just there for the fun of it, nothing more.

Sure enough, Wang Yifei, who had just been hugged by her mother, quickly got down from her mother's arms and hurriedly ran to join her older brothers and sisters in the fun.

Not far away, two little ones were standing nearby, crying.

They can understand what adults say, but they can't speak yet. They want to join in the fun with their older brothers and sisters, but their legs are too short to walk fast.

Because they were born in March 1988, they will be two years old in two months.

Now she was crying loudly in distress, pointing at Li Rongrong and Wang Jun'an not far away and constantly uttering 'baby talk', as if she was accusing her older brother and sister.

"Hey, what are Qizheng and Xiaowu doing here? Isn't their mother always with them? Look how anxious the kids are, they're almost about to yell at each other."

Wang Duoyu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the two little ones.

Children around two years old are the most fun and the cutest.

Li Qizheng and Lu Chengwu are different from Wang Yifei.

Wang Yifei was already talking when she was less than two years old, and now that she is less than two and a half, she speaks quite fluently.

It's simply because Wang Yifei is very expressive and optimistic, and both Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli are good listeners, so the child naturally enjoys talking a lot.

Liu Xiaoli smiled, shook her head, and stepped forward to pick up the two little ones.

"Did your older siblings go out to play without taking you with them? Come on, come on, your aunt will take you there."

Wang Duoyu was about to step forward when Liu Deben, Lü Gongliang, Han Jue, and Fang Guangchao appeared not far away.

The news of his return could not be kept secret from Liu Deben and the other leaders of Harbin Institute of Technology.

A few minutes later, the sofas in the reception area of ​​the villa's study were full of people.

"Duoyu, did the Southern Heavenly Gate Plan succeed this time?"

After exchanging a few polite words, Lü Gongliang couldn't wait to ask.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Duoyu expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer.

Fang Lihe visited Wang Duoyu last September or October, after which the Nantianmen plan was shelved.

Liu Deben and his team were quite disappointed by this.

When Wang Duoyu presented the Nantianmen Project last March, Harbin Institute of Technology was immediately abuzz with excitement.

If Harbin Institute of Technology were to lead such a project, the benefits to the entire university would be enormous.

Even Kang Yumin, the top official in Harbin, was very pleased when he learned of the plan.

Although most of the projects under the Nantianmen Project are unlikely to be located in Harbin.

But things can be accomplished by human effort, and besides, Wang Duoyu is in Harbin, and Yuanchang's large-scale laboratory and other research institutions are also located in Harbin.

And Harbin Institute of Technology, a behemoth in the scientific community, as well as the Harbin Institute of Advanced Study, a global center for mathematics.

With so many advantages, Harbin is definitely able to get a large share of the pie from the Nantianmen Project.

The Nantianmen Project is not just a project; it involves an annual investment of 20 billion RMB. The significance of this statement far exceeds expectations.

Therefore, everyone is eagerly anticipating the smooth implementation of the Nantianmen Project.

"Yes, it's been approved. I will personally serve as the leader of the South Heavenly Gate Project Launch Team, with leaders such as Fang Lihe serving as deputy leaders or members, and professors such as Kong Xiangyan, Zhang Jieqian, and Chu Guibai serving as members."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

Before he could even finish speaking, Liu Deben and the others were already clapping and praising him excitedly.

Wang Duoyu could understand this feeling of joy.

"Old Liu, Old Lü, Old Han, the Nantianmen plan has been finalized, but the tasks ahead will be very heavy, so we need to prepare most of the work before the Spring Festival."

The conversation abruptly shifted, Wang Duoyu's expression immediately turned serious, and his tone became much more forceful:

"The Nantianmen Project will be fully launched after the Spring Festival. In my plan, all projects should be successfully implemented in about three years."

"This project is completely different from any previous research project."

"Therefore, even in the initial stage, we must take it seriously and give it our all."

Liu Deben and the others immediately became solemn and nodded heavily.

After a brief discussion about the Nantianmen Project, Liu Deben took the opportunity to talk about the achievements of companies under Harbin Institute of Technology.

The year-end summary meeting of Harbin Institute of Technology's subsidiaries was originally scheduled for January 10.

Wang Duoyu should have been able to return to Harbin to participate at that time, but it was delayed again and again.

Then a large meeting was held at the Twelfth National Congress, which was the first time Wang Duoyu had missed such a meeting.

"Compared to the year before last, companies such as Dolphin Group, Excellence Technology, and Huashun Company have seen a significant increase in their total revenue in the domestic market, reaching 4.2 billion RMB."

Upon hearing Liu Deben's words, Wang Duoyu nodded slightly.

He recalled that in 1988, the domestic revenue was 2.9 billion RMB.

1989 was a very different year, as everyone focused their development efforts on the domestic market.

This led to rapid growth in domestic revenue.

On the other hand, the rapid increase in domestic prices is also one of the reasons for the rapid revenue growth.

Overall, this is all a good thing.

"Global revenue from overseas markets totaled $81.26 billion, with profits reaching $18.3 billion. Compared to last year, revenue increased, but profits declined."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu frowned for a moment, then relaxed.

Compared to international giants like General Motors, companies like Dolphin Group, Excellence Technology, and Huaxin Company do indeed lag behind in terms of revenue.

However, it is still very competitive in terms of profit.

why?
Because the cost is low enough, and the number of employees worldwide is not that large.

Take Excellence Technology as an example; it only has over 8,000 employees worldwide, more than half of whom are based in China.

In other words, in terms of labor costs alone, Excellence Technology has significantly lower costs than tech companies like Apple.

In 1989, General Motors' total revenue was $125.2 billion, its profit was $2.92 billion, and it employed 784,000 people worldwide.

Furthermore, General Motors has an enormous number of employees in the United States.

Labor costs constitute a significant portion of a company's production and operation costs.

The backdrop of the great wave of economic globalization is not only that the United States developed a super currency like the US dollar, but also that costs have risen and the US financial instruments have been soaring.

The capital behind the scenes, in pursuit of profit, will naturally relocate the factory to other places with lower labor costs.

For example, previously the US moved to Japan, but now in the 1980s, both the US and Japan have moved to our country.

Therefore, it's not hard to understand why General Motors has revenues of hundreds of billions of dollars, but profits of less than three billion dollars.

Another important reason why companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology, such as Zhuoyue Technology, have such high profits is that they have developed new business tracks.

The Powerbook personal laptop contains a great deal of high technology.

The unit price is already high, so the profit is naturally high as well.

Huaxin's 2G mobile phones were also a dominant force in the high-end mobile phone market. They had low production costs but were not affordable, resulting in extremely high profits.

Even so, Wang Duoyu still frowned, because the profit of 18.3 billion US dollars was still much lower than the 20 billion US dollars profit in 1988.

After Liu Deben explained, Wang Duoyu finally understood.

He hasn't forgotten what happened in the middle of last year.

Motorola and other giants want to acquire Excellence Technology's market share in the United States and put all its assets into their own pockets.

Wang Duoyu naturally remembered this incident, but he did not expect that even with prior preparation, it would still cause such a significant drop in the profits of companies like Zhuoyue Technology.

After all, logically speaking, if total revenue increased from US$72.65 billion in 1988 to US$81.26 billion in 1989, then total profit should have increased as well.

Not only did it not increase, but profits actually declined.

But that's all in the past now; the next 1990s are the most important time.

We continued chatting for quite a while, and half an hour had already passed.

Then there was a knock on the door. After Yuan Zuliang opened the door, Wang Duoyu and the others saw the little girl, Wang Yifei.

"Dad, it's been almost fifty minutes, you need to take a break."

Liu Deben and the others were immediately taken aback, but Wang Duoyu had already stood up.

"Old Liu, I'm sorry, but from now on, we should try to shorten our meetings as much as possible, or we should split them up so that they don't last more than an hour continuously."

Upon hearing this, Lü Gongliang and the others felt as if they were hallucinating.

However, when they saw the serious expression on Wang Duoyu's face, they seemed to understand something.

Since they had already talked enough, Liu Deben and the others got up to say goodbye.

Wang Duoyu picked up the little guy, but before he could say anything, the little brat said smugly:
"Dad, look, the principal and the others have all left. Shouldn't you praise me?"

Seeing how cute she was, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but pat her little head.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli came over.

"Duoyu, just let her have her way. You're working, why is she bothering you?"

"Xiaoli, you don't know, this is a long story. Let me tell you."

Immediately, Wang Duoyu shared with Liu Xiaoli the amazing things Wang Yifei had done during their trip to Beijing.

She has truly seen the world.

There's a saying: all roads lead to Rome.

In a sense, Wang Yifei was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

After all, she is much happier than most children.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that she has no worries about food and clothing, and her parents dote on her very much, is something that some children don't have.

Wang Duoyu still remembers his past life, in the 1980s or 90s, when he was a child and often went hungry.

Not having enough to eat was the norm, drinking porridge was the norm, and being able to eat meat once a month was considered very good.

He remembered his grandmother from his previous life saying that his grandfather always ate two large plates of stir-fried beef noodles whenever he went to the market.

It's called stir-fried beef noodles, but the meat inside isn't beef; it's actually pork.

Even so, his grandfather in his previous life also ate and drank like this often.

But where did Wang Duoyu eat this when he was a child in his previous life?

He remembers being around ten years old when he first ate it. It happened because he accidentally dropped the cleaver from the cutting board.

It landed directly on the soles of my bare feet, causing them to bleed profusely.

Wang Duoyu remembered that he received about twelve stitches at the hospital.

That was my first time being hospitalized. It was at the town's health center, and I only had stir-fried beef noodles that night.

He remembered this dish very well because he had heard his grandmother talk about it since he was a child.

However, in his previous life, Wang Duoyu could only eat stir-fried beef noodles after going through countless hardships.

Even back then, there were still many people who had never tasted it.

Or rather, many children have never eaten meat much since they were young.

But what about Wang Yifei?

Although she is not a picky eater, she has actually tried a lot of delicious food. She has eaten dishes like stir-fried beef noodles, but she doesn't seem to like them very much.

"Daughters are meant to be pampered. She's still so young; it's too early for her to learn the rules of this world. Of course, we should spoil her."

Wang Duoyu said happily:

"And it's not just me who spoils her, all the leaders spoil her too, otherwise why do you think I would do that?"

The idea of ​​enduring hardship without effort is something that could never happen to Wang Duoyu.

The little kid is still young and doesn't understand much. What Wang Duoyu can do is naturally to actively guide the child onto the right path.

As long as the child doesn't do anything bad, let her do whatever makes her happy.

Children at this age are so adorable; if you don't spoil them, they'll grow up so quickly.

Happy times fly by.

"Okay, okay, you're right, alright?"

Watching the little one struggle down from her father's arms and run off to play with her older siblings, Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him and then said:

"Today is the 18th, when are we going back to our hometown for the holiday?"

This year's Spring Festival is on January 26th, so there's not much time left.

Just as Wang Duoyu was about to speak, the phone rang.

I took out my phone and saw that it was Kang Yumin calling.

After answering the call, Wang Duoyu knew the other party's purpose.

Since that's the case, let's talk face to face.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu said to Liu Xiaoli:

"Let's go back the day after tomorrow. I still have some work to take care of tomorrow. We'll be flying back to our hometown the day after tomorrow. You can help me pack my luggage first, and remember to tell the children." "By the way, when are the eleventh and twelfth sisters coming back?"

These two younger sisters left their children at his house, and they were both pregnant.

After they are born, the two sisters will each have four children.

If we keep leaving all the kids at Wang Duoyu's house, hey, his house will become a daycare center.

"It'll be tomorrow. The two sisters are going back to their hometown. They won't be spending the Spring Festival there this year; they should be going back to Dahonggou Village."

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Wang Duoyu was speechless.

I simply stopped caring about the two sisters.

Anyway, it's fine if they go back early, but I don't understand why they didn't take their children back with them?
However, Lu Qingsong and Li Yuanchao, those two old guys, were indeed in a remote and inconvenient place to live.

Going there would probably take half your life.

Otherwise, Wang Meili and her sister wouldn't have left all their children at Harbin Institute of Technology.

After all, they were already heavily pregnant themselves, and the thought of taking care of so many children was terrifying.

Let alone two- or three-year-old children, even six- or seven-year-old children can be really horrible when they start crying.

When the children say they're tired and want an adult to carry them, the Wang Meili sisters will definitely explode.

If the child rolls to the ground at this time, well, it's best not to take the child with you.

Half an hour later, Kang Yumin, Zhao Guobin, and Lin Runzhe arrived together.

As soon as he sat down on the sofa in the villa's reception area, after exchanging only a few pleasantries, Zhao Guobin got straight to the point.

Wang Duoyu thought they were going to talk to him about the Nantianmen Project.

Unexpectedly, the conversation turned to the subway.

Is Harbin going to build a subway?
This is no joke, is it?

"Mayor Zhao, is it necessary for Harbin to build a subway now?"

Zhao Guobin said:

"It's like this, Professor Wang, you might not know, but Shanghai has already applied for the construction project of Metro Line 1, supposedly because Shanghai's population has now exceeded 13 million."

"It's too crowded; the bus routes simply aren't enough, so we have to start using the subway to alleviate the pressure on surface traffic."

"Professor Wang, do you know how many people live in our Harbin? As of September last year, according to our statistics, the city's permanent resident population exceeded 16 million."

"Even excluding the suburban population, the permanent resident population in the city exceeds ten million."

"A few years ago, this campus of Harbin Institute of Technology would have been considered the suburbs, but now it's in the city center."

Upon hearing Zhao Guobin refer to the area around the Weizigou campus as part of the city, Wang Duoyu's eyes widened instantly.

Goodness, isn't this the suburbs?
A few years ago, when the Weizigou campus was designated as the new campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, it was a very desolate village and wasteland.

Is this actually the city center?
The Weizigou campus was designated as a new campus in 1984.

It's only been a little over six years so far.

But they actually call it the city center?
But on second thought, it doesn't seem so surprising.

Because the area around the Weizigou campus is indeed very prosperous and bustling at this time.

The food streets near the front and back gates of the campus are always packed with people, even on weekdays.

Not to mention there are two five-star hotels, several other star-rated hotels, and numerous guesthouses near the school.

Hotels and restaurants are almost always common amenities near schools.

There are shopping malls, and even three large supermarkets: two at the front entrance and one at the back entrance.

The commercial center formed around the Weizigou campus is indeed quite large.

Moreover, there are several high-tech enterprises nearby.

Not far from the Weizigou campus, Want Want Group's subsidiary, Walsin Technology, has built another 35-story office building.

In northern cities like Harbin, there is generally no need to build such tall buildings.

However, it is already under construction because there is not enough land and there are too many employees.

Wang Duoyu would definitely not be happy to move to the suburbs, since it would be such a long distance.

So they built a large building nearby and settled all the people in.

However, an office building can only accommodate a few thousand employees at most.

A factory or similar establishment can naturally employ more workers, but workers are different from ordinary white-collar employees.

Although everyone is supposed to be equal, there will indeed be differences in treatment and other aspects.

Therefore, in many ways, the Weizigou campus appears to be just a school.

Actually, that's not the case; this place has already attracted a large number of people.

This results in a dense population here, and the area within a three-kilometer radius of the campus is actually the area influenced by Harbin Institute of Technology.

According to the original timeline, the entire Ice City was actually part of Harbin Institute of Technology.

But this spacetime is somewhat different.

Because in other regions, there are countless foreign companies such as Apple, Nintendo, and Motorola.

There is also the automotive industrial city formed by Daimler-Benz, BMW, and Audi, which has attracted hundreds of thousands of people and whose population is still growing rapidly.

After Zhao Guobin finished speaking, Wang Duoyu nodded silently.

It seems he hasn't paid attention to this kind of information, so he doesn't know about these situations.

However, the permanent population of Harbin actually exceeds that of Shanghai by more than three million.

It's a bit weird.

However, Harbin's economy is much larger than Shanghai's, which seems quite normal from this perspective.

"Sure, if you think we need to build a subway, then let's build a subway."

After figuring it out, Wang Duoyu stopped dwelling on the matter.

Because he is more concerned with scientific research, he pays less attention to these aspects of people's livelihood.

Moreover, he paid even less attention to the public transportation sector.

"Well, we only have some initial ideas right now, and we'd like to ask if Want Want Group and Harbin Institute of Technology have any plans to invest?"

Hearing Zhao Guobin's words, Wang Duoyu looked at him with a half-smile and said:

"Mayor Zhao, are you short of money or lacking something else?"

In terms of funding, Wang Duoyu believes that Harbin should not lack it.

why?
Because Harbin has two financial institutions, Harbin Bank and Jianghai Securities, which previously made a lot of money.

Investing in a subway project may seem like it would cost a lot of money, but for Harbin, the amount of money required should not be too much.

The most important point is that subway construction cannot be completed in just one or two years.

If there's no shortage of funds, then the shortage must be of technology and talent?
"Actually, we don't lack anything. We just hope that Harbin Institute of Technology or Professor Wang can join us. This way, our project approval process can be accelerated."

Zhao Guobin stated bluntly.

They practically said they needed to use Wang Duoyu's spot to get the approval.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu was utterly astonished:
"Hmm? Could it be that people in Beijing can't see what's happening in Harbin? If I remember correctly, the Shanghai Metro should have received approval, right? There's no reason why yours shouldn't have."

At this moment, Kang Yu-min spoke.

"Duoyu, you don't know, our Bingcheng does have money, but how to use the funds isn't something we can do as we please. Every project needs to be applied for and approved by higher authorities."

"You know the current situation better than we do. The higher-ups are short of money!"

Why are we short of money?
The fact that the Nantianmen project was forced to be temporarily shelved last September also gives us a clue.

The Three Gorges Dam, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the West-to-East Power Transmission Project, the Songliao Canal, and the Mach 5 fighter jet are all massive money-devouring projects.

Now, the Nantianmen (South Heaven Gate) project has been added.

Kang Yumin and his colleagues did not know how much the state was funding the Nantianmen Project, but the project required 20 billion RMB to be allocated every year, which was no small sum.

The national fiscal revenue was only around 300 billion yuan per year, and it was not until after 1992 that it reached 350 billion yuan.

Therefore, the income is not high, but there are many places where money needs to be spent.

Projects like the Three Gorges Dam and the Mach 5 fighter jet are all well-known national engineering projects. There are many more projects that cannot be disclosed.

Besides, there are also projects related to people's livelihoods.

What about other programs such as education?

So, while 300 billion RMB seems like a lot, if it's divided up here and there, your wallet will be empty.

Even so, it doesn't really have much to do with Ice City, does it?

Wang Duoyu frowned, and Kang Yumin said helplessly:

"Ice City still needs to support other parts of the province; it can't just focus on itself. In short, it's going to be very difficult!"

"Even if we can cut back on funding, it will be very difficult to get approval for the subway project, given our high latitude."

High latitude means year-round ice and snow.

Every year there is a winter that lasts for half a year, with the freezing period lasting more than four months.

This is a very long winter, which is certainly not a favorable factor for economic development.

"Fine, I don't really understand these rules and regulations, and I'm too lazy to bother with them."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"Go ahead and use my name if you want. I agree to it. The smooth progress of the subway project will be very beneficial to the economic development of Harbin."

"But are you sure you have enough funds? Don't you need help from Want Want Group and Harbin Institute of Technology?"

Zhao Guobin nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, yes! We just hope you can contribute some money so the approval process can be faster."

Wang Duoyu smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you like it."

The subway project has finally come to an end.

Kang Yumin then asked about the Nantianmen Project.

What he wanted to know was how many projects could be established in Harbin, and what Harbin could offer.
"Secretary Kang, there's no rush, and it can't be rushed!" Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

"I'm currently the leader of this launch team. I'll have someone notify you if any subsequent projects are located in Harbin."

"Anyway, this project will officially start after the Spring Festival, and all the projects in the entire plan will be fully confirmed within three years."

Since that's the case, there's no rush. We can talk about it after the holiday.

Kang Yumin and his group stayed for a while longer before getting up to say goodbye.

The next day, Wang Duoyu took some time to handle some work, and the following day, the 20th, he returned to Dahonggou Village with Liu Xiaoli and the children.

His two younger sisters just returned from out of town yesterday. They were a bit tired after arriving at Harbin Institute of Technology.

So they didn't fly back with them, but returned the next day.

Li Rongrong and the other children went back to Dahonggou Village first.

After returning to their hometown, Wang Yifei and the other children ran around everywhere.

Actually, it's freezing cold outside. Although it's not snowing, the outdoor temperature is very low, and everyone is hibernating.

But this didn't stop Wang Yifei and the other kids from going around chatting with their friends.

For children, happiness is the most important thing.

The day after Wang Duoyu returned to Dahonggou Village, Zheng Baoyin and the others also returned.

With the return of young people who had been working elsewhere, the entire Dahonggou Village has become increasingly lively.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

Crackling!

It wasn't even New Year's Eve yet, and Wang Junhong, the big kid, was already leading Wang Junan and the other little ones outside to set off firecrackers.

It was around 2 p.m. on the 28th day of the Lunar New Year.

Wang Junkang, the child, ran home crying loudly.

His face was covered in cow dung, and his new clothes were also covered in cow dung.

When Liu Xiaoli saw this scene, she almost fainted.

Why is this child so naughty?
"Mom, it wasn't me. My little brother wanted to play with the cannonballs. My older brother and I warned him, but he can't run fast enough and he tripped and fell, so..."

"Hey, Wang Jun'an, who rushed back later, quickly explained."

Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, Wang Yifei, and the other children were all watching with smiles, but after Liu Xiaoli swept over with a murderous look, the little ones immediately stopped smiling.

Wang Duoyu, who was reading a book in the living room, shook his head and chuckled when he saw this scene.

The kids were having a blast, but the adults were really worried.

As long as Liu Xiaoli is around, Wang Duoyu doesn't need to worry about so much.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Duoyu naturally had different feelings when they saw the arrogant Lao San.

"Sisi, come here to Daddy. Don't go out to play, okay? Keep Daddy company and read a book for a while."

Wang Duoyu waved to the little guy.

But the little guy shook his head and refused.

"No, Dad, I want to go out and play!"

After saying that, she turned around gracefully, took Li Shumin and Lu Yuexin's hands, and left.

She rejected her father without hesitation.

What a heartless brat!
Wang Duoyu just smiled. When a child has companions, why would he stay with adults?
Not to mention accompanying her father to read, Wang Yifei would absolutely not stay for even a second longer.

She had already had enough of the experience when she was in the capital last time, and she didn't want to experience it again.

After all, she had no choice when she was in the capital, but now she has to make a choice.

As children happily prepare for the Lunar New Year, Lunar New Year's Eve is also fast approaching.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, Wang Duoshi, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly reappeared with his wife and children.

The entire village of Dahonggou was alarmed.

This is the most disappointing child in the Wang family, he actually came back?

They've been gone for so many years, they're finally back!

"Just come back, just come back!"

When Wang Shouchang, the eldest brother, saw Lao Shi return, he was moved to tears and extremely excited.

"Big brother, who is he?"

Holding her older brother in his arms, Wang Yifei blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

"He's our uncle, I don't think you've ever met him before."

Wang Junhong hasn't grown much taller, but he can still easily lift his younger sister.

Their location offered a good view; otherwise, he wouldn't mind lifting his sister onto his head and letting her ride on a big horse.

Wang Duoyu, who was standing next to him, remained silent.

The tenth brother has returned, but the older brother doesn't seem to feel anything.

Lao Shi came back once during the National Day holiday in 1987.

At the time, he heard that he was already married, but Wang Duoyu didn't know much about it and was too lazy to care.

It's Lunar New Year's Eve, a time for family reunions.

The tenth brother suddenly came back, and with his whole family. It seems he has truly matured.

It is said that once a man has a weakness, he is no longer scary.

In Wang Duoyu's previous life, he knew that many people were either single or ignored by others.

Although these people claim to be single, they are actually afraid of marriage due to high mortgage and car loan payments and the need to carry on the family line.

In reality, most people don't actively want to escape the three loans and be outside the five social insurances.

It was forced upon them!
Even so, the authorities still tried their best to get these single people to marry the "dog-unworthy" types.

Only in this way can society be stable.

"Ninth Brother, I'm back. I've caused you so much worry before. I won't be foolish again."

At this moment, Wang Duoshi, the tenth brother, came to his ninth brother and said sincerely.

Wang Duoyu looked at his younger brother, and after a while, patted him on the shoulder:

"Yes, you understand that yourself. Life has many beautiful things. Just stick to the direction you believe in and keep going."

"It's the Lunar New Year, so I won't say anything. Let's help out first."

In the Wang family, Wang Duoyu's words now carry the most weight.

Since he had said so, everyone got busy.

Preparing the New Year's Eve dinner requires the combined efforts of all the adults.

However, for Wang Yifei and the other kids, all they need to do is have fun.

Anyway, the adults will prepare the food, and they can just wait to eat.
