Wear it before fleeing, hang it up and make a fortune

Chapter 360 Grandma and Grandpa and the Past

After meeting his grandparents, Old Xinxiao handed in their test items. While waiting, they chatted and the elderly, of course, reminisced about the past.

I learned from my grandparents that their era was an era of fighting.

Other countries have already invaded our territory. They started by using artillery and dropping bombs from planes.

After the explosion, it came up from the sea.

Of course our people had to stop them, because the country was poor and not everyone had weapons. Some even had sticks, those ancient weapons.

Even the guys working in the fields, can they compare with artillery shells, armored aircraft, and bombs dropped from airplanes?

In this process, not only were many houses destroyed, but casualties were inevitable during the confrontation.

We have a lot of people on our side, and they are all good swimmers. When they come in from the sea, we can attack them quietly. Although there will be many casualties, we can still kill some of them.

Lao Xinxiao was originally a student, a new generation of students. They were in middle school at that time and were in the midst of a fierce battle.

In addition to marching, these students used their fearless spirit to confront those people.

The two were classmates and they had been through a lot together.

At that time, the whole nation was in resistance, and the military and civilians were already one family.

At that time, when we had just started to fight against foreign enemies, there were many soldiers led by different people.

The two were merely organized by the school and later joined the party.

One of them is a rich girl, and the other is an ordinary farmer.

At that time, those who could go to school were generally young masters and young ladies from wealthy families, and only boys from ordinary families could go to school.

When the whole nation was fighting against the enemy and dealing with certain individuals, some people were unlucky enough to be caught.

The two of them had also been arrested, but the rich lady was dressed as a man and was arrested with the other people. At that time, they were arrested and not released.

They would both be tortured and rescued.

After many, many dangerous times, I was almost caught.

Later, when they grew up and had children, the rich girl still got married without telling her family.

However, at this time, many wealthy people began to flee by water.

When the fighting was intense, many people fled to places that were not targeted by the enemy.

Although this place is only a few dozen kilometers away from some mountainous county towns and some other places.

There were people resisting in front, so the areas behind were not destroyed by those people.

Many people voted in other cities or counties.

The old lady's family wanted to flee to Jinshan, and of course they needed some guards if they had a boat.

At first their ship was just an ordinary medium-sized ship and could not go too far.

The first thing they thought of was to flee to Hong Kong.

The old lady did not tell her family that she had married and had a child. Her family asked her to go back, but she did not dare to let them know and could only entrust the child to someone at home to take care of him.

As a husband, he was of course worried. If his wife left, he was afraid that she would not agree and break them up.

So they concealed their identities again and met the old lady's family, who wanted to take her somewhere else.

They are now husband and wife and revolutionary comrades, and they don't want to leave, don't want to leave their hometown, and don't want to leave their children.

The old lady's family couldn't care less. They had money to donate, but they didn't want their daughter to do such a dangerous thing. So they left again, and of course they took their daughter with them.

Later, the couple had no choice but to think of a solution. They asked someone to send a letter back, and the old lady treated the old grandfather as her own attendant.

So I followed my family to Hong Kong.

In that era of war, Hong Kong was not safe either. They had no choice but to go further away.

But when they left, they took money and gold with them.

Of course, we encountered dangers during the escape.

People like them who are well-off and well-dressed with their whole family are definitely fat sheep.

They will be targeted wherever they go, but they have not only money but also weapons.

There was an escort group of people.

Finally they bought boat tickets to Jinshan and a large number of people boarded the boat.

Of course, we encountered pirates on the way to Jinshan, but they also had weapons in their hands.

After arriving in Jinshan, the old lady told her family that they were already husband and wife.

Of course, I was also punished by my family.

There was also the idea of ​​breaking them up.

The old lady refused to accept their punishment and refused to marry anyone else.

When they first arrive in a place, even if they have money, they still have to buy a house and make a living in order to maintain long-term wealth.

They are all good at doing business in China. Even if they go abroad and encounter some setbacks in an unfamiliar environment, they will be able to gain a foothold gradually if they have money in their hands.

If it’s unsafe, you can ask for more protection.

The old grandfather became the son-in-law and started to learn how to do business.

Later, I gradually started my own business, which was different from my mother's family's business.

The old man followed his father-in-law's family in the beginning, and of course there were people who were displeased and looked down upon him when he was doing things.

Considered a gigolo.

But I didn't expect that the old man also had a talent for business.

With the background of my mother's family, I started my own business with the first pot of gold, starting small and gradually expanding.

But he founded a company.

By that time the country had been liberated and many people who had gone abroad returned.

But some people didn't go back.

In the 1960s and 1970s, people living abroad simply didn’t dare to return.

Those who have relatives overseas dare not tell others and keep it secret.

The old man hadn't communicated with his family for many years, and at first he couldn't send any information back.

Later, I didn’t dare to spread it.

When the reform and opening up came, people were still afraid that the situation was unstable and that writing letters back home would bring trouble to their families.

It was not until the 1980s that I began to write letters tentatively.

But it's just correspondence with family members.

There was no money sent or anything like that. In the 90s, many people were able to return to China to do business.

In fact, many people returned to China to do business in the 80s.

The old man also wants to bring his business back to his country.

However, he had other children at this time. If he wanted to return to China to do business, he would not be able to manage the business of both countries.

Just choose to send money back.

I want to know how my eldest son is doing.

They cannot participate in their children’s marriage and childbirth, nor can they participate in their children’s entrepreneurship.

But he sent a lot of money back home, all because his younger brother wrote a letter, his children started a business, etc. He also said that his grandchildren were studying and he was relatively poor.

At this time, grandpa's company had become quite big, and grandma was no longer the one who relied on her mother's family.

Since coming abroad, she started learning to paint, as she had a natural talent for it.

She was a rich lady who didn't need to use his words to support her family. Gradually, her fame spread, her paintings could be sold, and she could take in apprentices.

I will go to certain schools to hold a nominal position.

……

According to Lao Xinxiao's original account, his grandparents sent a lot of money to support his grandfather, including money for his father to start a business and money for his brothers and sisters to go to school.

She hated it. How much would this cost?
No wonder they started a business. My second uncle also started a business and said that it was supported by my second aunt’s family. They did not take out any loans.

According to my parents, when they wanted to start a business, the government offered preferential treatment, but if they wanted to get a loan, they had to have an account at a certain bank or something to get the loan.

From the dark history of these loans, it is not just about the interest, but also about giving red envelopes to others.

It's like a loan at high interest rates, where a loan of 12 yuan includes a red envelope of 12 yuan, a repayment of yuan, and a high interest rate.

They have been working to repay loans these years, and although they have made some money, it is money for others.

Their family also paid off the loan.

Old Xinxiao even wondered if his brothers and sisters would be better off if their family didn't have to repay so many loans?
Is it possible to continue studying instead of dropping out early and going out to work?

I remember that when they were studying, they had to help their family with work.

Think about how my parents worked from dawn to dusk but never accumulated any wealth.

If they had that kind of money, would they live like rich ladies?
If you have that kind of money and are not friendly, can you turn a small textile factory into a big enterprise?

With that money, won’t their brothers and sisters not have to worry about their studies?
If she had that money, she wouldn't have been so miserable in her previous life.

As my family's business grew bigger, I was able to go to school for a few more years and didn't have to work in other people's factories. There was no subsequent incident of being framed.

Old Xinxiao's eyes turned red with anger, and the sufferings of his past life came to his mind vividly.

Their family had a hard life, and she had a hard life too, because of not only the frame-up by their enemies, but also the bad things done by their adoptive grandfather's family.

Old Xinxiao angrily told his grandparents what had happened in their family over the years.

They never saw a penny of the money I sent them, but instead I had to give them money as holiday gifts and on my grandparents’ birthdays every year.

There was also monthly food rations, and he said that they were the eldest sons in their family and that they should be approached for help if there was anything.

He also noticed that his grandparents treated their family differently from other uncles and aunts.

Old Xiyang and his wife couldn't help but shed tears.

They were not aware of this situation yet and just thought that the money they sent back was for their son's business and their grandchildren's education, and that they had fulfilled their responsibilities.

They also wanted to fulfill their dream of reuniting as a family, so they thought about bringing them all over.

But he never thought that his younger brother was so bad that he didn't spend a penny on his own son and was not kind to him.

Immigrants have no share in their own son’s family.

To realize the dream and reunite the family.

How dare he do that when he is also my own brother?
They use their own son's name instead of their biological son's name, so that they will never see their son, grandson, or granddaughter in their entire lives.

If my younger brothers succeed, I will not only give them shares, but also let them live a good life in the future.

The thought of this makes me angry.

The old grandmother was also angry. It wasn't that she missed her eldest son. He had wanted to go back over the years, but she was afraid that if he went back, he would never be able to come out again.

I have been living a more comfortable life these years. With other children around me, I am less concerned about my eldest son.

Later, there were career issues. She was very busy at home and in her career.

I am busy with my career whenever I have free time.

Old Xinxiao saw that the two old people were angry.

She was also very angry, but was afraid that the two old people would get sick from being angry.

It is the comfort of tea and conversation.

"I raised grandpa and grandma. Although my father treated our family differently from other uncles and aunts, at least he didn't starve. I raised him, so it's our duty to be filial to them, but..."

The topic that Old Xinxiao didn't talk about was that he had let down his grandparents who loved their son and them, and they hadn't received any of the compensation that belonged to them.

In recent years, they have been paying off their loans, although they are a little better off than the old farmers who rely on farming in the sun and rain and work hard.

The hard-working old farmers can sometimes rest at home when it rains.

Those who work in factories would like to spend the whole day at work.

Son, sometimes they also have to go to the beach to pick up seafood and go to the mountains to look for trees.

They are close to the sea, yet far from here, and sometimes they pick up driftwood on the beach even when it rains heavily.

It's more about burning coal and spending money to buy coal.

As an outsider, Zhong Xiangrui had a lot of things in his mind and felt angry, but as an outsider he could not talk about other people's family affairs. He could only be angry silently and listen silently.

What Lao Xinxiao said could not comfort a certain chairman and his wife.

I feel like I owe it to my own sons, grandsons and granddaughters.

The old couple has already thought of letting them immigrate here as compensation, giving them more shares, and more of their private money and real estate as compensation.

Because they were angry, the couple made up their minds that no matter what the test results were, there would be no immigration for their younger brother's family.

Although they won’t be able to take back the money they sent back, they will not be able to borrow as much money in the future.

It is even more impossible to give them company shares and real estate.

Because the test they took was expedited, it could detect the result in a few hours.

After six o'clock in the evening, the inspection report finally came out.

Looking at the documents, the old couple's hands trembled.

They were excited, and just as they had imagined, the old Xinxiao was indeed their granddaughter.

Since they already knew that Lao Xinxiao was their granddaughter, of course they would take her home, and Zhong Xiangrui would also stay in their home as a guest.

The couple had wanted to have their relatives immigrate before, but they would not let them live in their home forever. However, they already had enough property and land to build a house.

In the future, when they live in this city, they won’t have to worry about housing and can use their shops to do business.

It was already planned for them, but they had no other idea at first, just rent out the shops they bought for their families, or start a business.

It can provide them with money to secure their future life.

Of course, I also thought that without much education in China, it would be impossible for me to hold some important positions in the company.

If children in the family cannot hold important positions, they will lose face. Some people, because of this loss of face, would rather not do the job and depend on their parents for support.

Old Xinxiao followed his grandparents back to a manor.

Of course Zhong Xiangrui also had to follow, following like a bodyguard or a flower protector.

Old Xinxiao saw that it was already seven o'clock. It took more than an hour to get here from that place. Such a large manor had a big house and several small houses.

It is not only the host's accommodation, but also the workers' accommodation.

There are greenhouses, swimming pools, entertainment facilities, gardens and so on.

The whole thing looks like a rich man's castle.
