Chapter 1169 Tian Zao
Uncle Gui runs a small stall on the street, and usually sells stir-fried tripe and liver.

Sometimes when he really runs out of raw materials, he might make wontons or noodles.

As for Aunt Li, she is Uncle Gui’s daughter-in-law. Her daughter Li Xiulan is Tian Zao’s best friend. She is also very pretty. She is two years younger than Tian Zao and just turned 16 this year.

After introducing the two sides, Tian Zao said proudly:
"Uncle Gui, Aunt Li, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I'll tell you, I will definitely be able to invite Big Brother Lin over."

"Girl, you wander around the alleys all day long. I didn't expect that you, a wanderer in the alleys, would meet such a good person. This is a blessing from your previous life."

Boss Tong is the fourth oldest in the courtyard, and Suo Qian is the third, so Tian Zao calls them the third brother and the fourth brother.

"Fourth brother, what do you mean?" Tian Zao wrinkled her nose, pouted her lips, and said unhappily, "Who is the alley urchin?"

"Hey, this girl can do it herself, and she doesn't want anyone to say anything." Everyone laughed, and in an instant the whole yard was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Mr. Lin, please come in!" The servant made a gesture.

Of all the houses in the entire yard, only his living room could accommodate so many people.

Everyone was sitting around a big table, it was so crowded.

"Mr. Lin, I have Shanxi aged vinegar and Zhenjiang fragrant vinegar. Which one would you like?"

"Have some of each. They have their own flavor. Have a plate of each."

Soon, Aunt Li and Uncle Gui brought over the dumplings, several large bowls of them, with plenty of filling.

Beijing is in the north, and people here don’t like to eat dumplings. Most of them are dried or steamed directly.

People in the south like dumplings with soup, but both sides like to make fried dumplings. The difference is that they are called differently, one calls them fried dumplings and the other calls them pot stickers.

"Don't look at me, there are dumplings on my face. Pick up your chopsticks and eat!" Lin Hao said with a smile when he saw that the children were all looking at him.

From childhood to adulthood, after becoming orphans, today is the happiest moment for them.

Before my parents were killed by thugs and bullies, they were loved and were the treasure of the family.

After becoming orphans, they can only huddle together for warmth, otherwise they cannot survive. They only survived with the help of Sister Zaoer.

Of course they had eaten dumplings before, but they had never experienced the days when they could eat as much as they wanted like this.

Not to mention that Lin Hao not only gave them a job, but also gave them some cloth at a low price to make new clothes.

"Brother Lin, from now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to chase a dog, I will never kill a chicken." Che Gulu ate dumplings with tears in his eyes and said in a sobbing voice:

"Since I became an orphan, I would not have survived without Sister Zaozi and you."

He recalled the time when he first became an orphan, and it was simply horrible.

It was because Sister Zaozi took this group of kids with her to beg on the streets, cheat, and pick up garbage that they were able to survive.

Later, the Red Party army entered the city. He dared not do any sneaky things, and his life became worse than before. Fortunately, he met Lin Hao later.

Although the street vendors also gave them things and money to help them survive, only Lin Hao made them feel that they were living with more dignity.

Because they no longer have to do sneaky things, no longer have to be laughed at as beggars, they can do business honestly and live decent lives.

"Okay, stop doing all this nonsense. I'm not helping you because I want you to repay me. You just need to make progress, grow up well, and live a good life."

"It would be even better if I could become a useful person to society in the future. If I really don't have that ability, it would be good to just live my life wisely."

"Also, don't pee so much when you eat. Look, in just a short while, you've eaten two less than the others!"

After hearing Lin Hao's words, Che Gulu immediately became anxious when he saw the other people. He didn't even bother to feel touched and immediately sped up his eating.

But this time there was no need to fight for it. After all, the dumplings were quite large. There were 10 kilograms of meat alone, and with the other carrots, vermicelli, and cabbage, the filling mixed together weighed almost kilograms.

The filling alone weighs more than 30 kilograms, how many dumplings would that be?
Anyway, there is enough food. After eating today, you can still eat all day tomorrow. The New Year’s Eve dinner is not as sumptuous as this.

As for Lin Hao and other grown men, they would definitely not just eat dumplings, they would also have some wine.

Although Suo Qian's clothes are covered with patches, he is indeed very particular. He can even taste the difference between Shanxi aged vinegar and Zhenjiang fragrant vinegar.

Mashed garlic has to be added to the vinegar, and a bottle of Erguotou makes him taste like Moutai, so it can be said that the authentic ones are those who are poor and particular.

"Master Lin, you are really generous. These seven children all have new clothes. Although they are all made of cotton, they cost a lot of money. Where did you make your fortune?"

After a few drinks, Suo Qian became bolder and started to inquire.

"It's the new China now. It's not customary to call anyone "Master". Just call me by my name. If you're not used to that, you can call me Mr. Lin or Comrade Lin!"

“Hehe!” Suo Qian laughed and said, “Okay then, I will shamelessly call you Mr. Lin!”

Lin Hao smiled and said indifferently:

"As for whether I made money or not, that was a shop owned by my friend. The products I bought for them were defective ones with misaligned prints. I paid them at cost price, so I didn't spend much."

Suo Qian was afraid that Lin Hao would misunderstand him as trying to find out about how to make money, so he quickly added:
"Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to find out how you made your fortune. I just want to buy some cheaper fabrics like them!"

"I'm not wearing it myself, so it doesn't matter to me as a grown man. But I want to buy one for Chun Xier, and I also need to buy some cotton-padded clothes for some of my relatives and friends in the winter. I wonder if you can get a discount on it!"

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Just go to Chen's Silk Shop on Qianmen Street and tell them my name. They will definitely give you a cost price."

In fact, Lin Hao really thought that Suo Qian wanted to ask him where to make money and wanted him to guide him.

However, the silk shop was run by Chen Xueru, so naturally she had no interest in investing in Suo Qian.

But if you just want to buy things cheaper, it’s simple, just a matter of words.

"From what you said, it seems that Chen Xueru from Qianmen Street is very close to you!" Suo Qian asked in surprise.

"Indeed, we have a good relationship!" Lin Hao nodded and replied with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved. This will definitely save me a lot of money!" Suo Qian said happily, "This will save me a lot of expenses!"

"These days, buying clothes is not cheap. For example, a cotton-padded jacket for winter, even one with patches, can be pawned as long as the cotton inside is in good condition, and it's not cheap at all." Therefore, buying some defective cloth at cost price and making cotton-padded jackets can indeed save Suo Qian a lot of money, especially when he has several sets.

The boss on the side also said at this time:

"I remember now. Chen Xueru was the most capable businessman on Qianmen Street. I remember that she even cooperated with the government office and the street office to lower the price of grain!"

"She is now the vice president of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. I didn't expect that the people you know, Mr. Lin, are all big shots!"

Lin Hao ate here for an hour, chatting with everyone and getting more familiar with the people around Tian Zao.

Just when Lin Hao and a few other grown men were drinking and eating dumplings, Tian Zao gathered with a few women and girls and asked everyone about their impressions of Lin Hao.

Although Tian Zao is not well educated and doesn't know whether she is accurate in judging people, she knows to collect other people's opinions.

In short, she looks silly, but she is actually a girl with a strong opinion.

Everyone admitted that they had a good impression of Lin Hao, but they all agreed that Tian Zaoxiang should be more cautious about being with Lin Hao.

Aunt Li, in particular, although she felt that Lin Hao was indeed a good person, she still hoped from the bottom of her heart that Tian Zao could be with Tiedan.

Firstly, the two of them have been childhood sweethearts and know each other well; secondly, Lin Hao is married after all, and if Tian Zao is with Lin Hao, she can only be a mistress.

When Tian Zao heard this, he felt a little conflicted, but after comparing the two of them in his mind, he still felt that Lin Hao was better.

Especially when she thought of Lin Hao, who was very handsome, tall and slender, with extraordinary temperament, and was always gentle and considerate of her in everything, she secretly made up her mind.

In the afternoon, under the persuasion of Tian Zao and everyone else, Lin Hao stayed for dinner.

However, Lin Hao did not want to add to their burden, so he took out a few dollars and gave them to Uncle Gui, asking him to buy some more braised food and meat dishes, as well as a roast duck from Bian Yi Fang, so that everyone could have a good meal.

By the time everyone left, Lin Hao was also a little tipsy. This was mainly because Lin Hao did not try to get rid of the alcohol, and he felt that alcohol was not intoxicating, so he got drunk on his own.

In fact, Lin Hao naturally knew about the conversation between Tian Zao and several women today. Originally, Lin Hao didn't think about being anxious, but looking at their attitude, it seemed that they were not disappointed with Li Tie.

So Lin Hao had to be a mean person, and when he saw that there were few people in the room, he said to Tian Zao in a drunken state:
"Zao'er, you are so beautiful!"

"Ah~!" Tian Zao's cheeks turned red when she heard that, and she looked at Lin Hao affectionately.

Then Tian Zao said in a barely audible voice: "Brother Lin, thank you!"

"Hmm?" Lin Hao was somewhat puzzled, so he asked drunkenly:

"Why are you thanking me all of a sudden? I've already said it before. I helped Xiaoyong and the others. I helped them because I saw that their lives were not easy, so I found them a decent job so that they could live like human beings."

"In fact, you may not know that I am not only helping them, but also helping the children whose hearts are not bad when I see them in other places!"

"You're not worried that I'm taking care of them and I have some improper thoughts about you, right? You know what, I, I really like you!"

"But don't worry, Zao'er. I, Lin Hao, am not the kind of person who would take advantage of others in distress." As he said that, Lin Hao reached out and touched Tian Zao's pretty face.

Looking drunk, Tian Zao threw himself into Lin Hao's arms and whispered, "That's not what I'm talking about!"

"what?"

Tian Zao raised his head, looked into Lin Hao's eyes and said, "I mean, thank you for avenging me!"

Lin Hao shook his head, trying to make himself more sober, then looked at Tian Zao in confusion.

At this time, Tian Zao said with tears in his eyes:
"I heard before that Han Qingkui was shot dead by the elite of the police station on the day the army entered the city."

"Later, I made inquiries from many sources and finally learned from Sister Li Hongying that the person who killed Han Qingkui was actually a temporary member of the police station named Lin Hao!"

Because Han Qingkui's death was reported through official reports, Tian Zao asked Hongying here and only then did he find out about Lin Hao's actions that day.

"Han Qingkui?" Lin Hao shook his head, then muttered to himself: Let me think, this name sounds familiar!

"By the way, on the day the army entered the city, I shot and killed a man who tried to sabotage the city. He was a bald fat man, right?"

"Yes, it's him!" Tian Zao leaned his head on Lin Hao's arms and murmured to himself, "You don't know how happy I was when I learned that he was beaten to death!"

"Later I thought that if I could find someone to help me get revenge, I would be willing to marry him or her!" After saying that, Tian Zao looked up at Lin Hao.

"Zao'er, from the beginning to the end I never thought about getting any reward, I just~!"

"Hmmmm~!" Before Lin Hao could finish his words, Tian Zao put her arms around Lin Hao's neck, tilted her head back and kissed him.

Even at this point, if Lin Hao still doesn't understand Tian Zao's feelings, he would be unmanly.

"Zao'er, I like you!" Lin Hao said emotionally, and then gently bent down!

"Me too!" Tian Zao murmured.

······
Three days later, Tian Zao was carried into the Lin family's home in a sedan chair and moved into the backyard.

When Li Tie learned that Tian Zao was Lin Hao's concubine, he was so jealous that he went crazy.

He really couldn't understand why someone who could obviously be his wife wanted to be Lin Hao's concubine.

For this reason, he even tried to stop Tian Zao and wanted to ask him clearly, but finally he stopped after being persuaded by Li Hongying.

In fact, she couldn't understand why Tian Zao, who had always been positive, would suddenly become someone's concubine.

So they began to investigate Lin Hao and Tian Zao. Since Lin Hao's missions or transactions with his superiors were top secret, they could not find out about the contributions made by Lin Hao.

However, through the intelligence on the surface, it was discovered that Lin Hao was actually a big capitalist. Not only did he own a large multinational bank, but he also frequently left the capital.

Li Hongying instinctively felt that something was wrong, so she called the Dongzhimen Police Station and found out that Lin Hao was actually one of the 108 generals trained by Huangni Village.

So he became more curious about Lin Hao, and then conducted a more in-depth investigation of Lin Hao.

At the same time, although Tian Zao moved into the Lin family, Lin Hao still asked her to continue attending night school to increase her knowledge reserves, not wanting her to continue to be illiterate.
