Chapter 1175 Daughter's Birth
With the promulgation of the new policy, people who were originally planning to leave stayed, and many factories that had been shut down resumed operations.

Many newly opened factories have also begun to recruit a large number of workers. Anyone who is not too lazy can easily find a job to make a living.

Even the security situation in the capital has greatly improved. Although there are still enemy agents causing sabotage, after the recent crackdown, the number of such incidents has been greatly reduced compared to before.

That day, staff from the military control commission found him and urged him to rent out the house in the courtyard.

As the steel rolling mill expanded, its production capacity increased and its scale expanded, which required more manpower.

So, based on the original two thousand workers, they suddenly recruited another two thousand, and with the addition of the garment factory opened by Lou Zhenhua, there were more than a thousand more.

In addition, a large number of new factories were established, which also recruited a large number of workers, many of whom came from rural areas.

Therefore, they had no place to stay in the city, and the factory provided a severe shortage of accommodation.

The military control committee members approached him because they had heard that his front yard was empty and wanted him to let them rent out the vacant rooms.

However, Lin Hao did not want to hand over the house. It wasn't that he cared about the house; with his wealth, he really didn't care about such a small thing.

Mainly, he wanted a peaceful life, didn't want outsiders interfering in his life, and didn't want his home to become a crowded tenement.

Therefore, no matter what the military control committee says, he will not rent it out again.

However, there are still seven or eight rooms in the front yard and the back room, and two main rooms in the back yard that are not inhabited. It is not good for them to remain empty.

So he called out to Tian Zao, "Zao'er, come here!"

"What's wrong, Brother Lin?" Tian Zao asked curiously as she approached Lin Hao and casually tossed him a piece of jujube cake.

"I have something to ask you!" Lin Hao said after taking a bite of the jujube cake.

“Okay, go ahead!” Tian Zao said with a smile.

"Your friends are all orphans, so where did they live before?" Lin Hao asked.

“We were living in a dilapidated courtyard house before, with two rooms that weren’t too badly run-down, just enough to live in!” After saying that, Tian Zao asked in confusion, “What happened?”

"I have a task for you. If you do it well, I'll reward you handsomely tonight!" Lin Hao said with a smile, half-jokingly.

Upon hearing about the reward, Tian Zao's eyes lit up with envy, but she quickly realized what was going on and playfully punched Lin Hao, saying, "You're so annoying!"

"Speak, what is it? As long as it's not illegal or against the law, I'm fine with it!"

"Haven't you done enough illegal and unethical things already?!" Lin Hao rolled his eyes and laughed irritably.

Upon hearing this, Tian Zao thought of what she had done with her younger siblings before, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

Seeing Tian Zao lower her head shyly, Lin Hao stopped joking and said solemnly:
"Several houses in our front yard are empty. People from the military control committee came to us and urged us to rent out the houses in the front yard!"

"But I don't want to rent it to outsiders. Rather than letting outsiders benefit from it, I'm thinking that since your younger siblings don't have a place to live, it would be better to let them move in, so they can keep you company!"

Hearing this, Tian Zao's eyes reddened, and she immediately grabbed Lin Hao's arm, saying, "No need, Brother Lin, you don't need to do this. I can let them stay in my old house, they~!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking so much. It's not like it's a gift for them!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Besides, the house can't be left uninhabited. Without people, the house will age quickly. Consider it as your younger siblings helping me take care of the house."

"Brother Lin~!" Tian Zao murmured, moved.

Lin Hao then arranged for Elena and Lilia to stay in two empty houses in the backyard.

Tian Zao then went to find the orphaned younger brothers and sisters and told them about moving into Lin Hao's front yard.

However, they were both eager and a little embarrassed to move in. After some persuasion from Lin Hao and Tian Zao, they finally agreed to move in.

However, when he saw them packing their things, he noticed that they were preparing to move all sorts of jars and pots into their home, so Lin Hao quickly stopped them.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Hao said:
You are all Zao'er's younger brothers and sisters, and from now on you will be my younger brothers and sisters, so you will be following me from now on.

You won't have to live such a hard life anymore. After you move in, I will buy you new clothes, new quilts, and new household items.

So you don't need to move these things over; if someone wants them, you can give them to them.

Not only that, here's my plan: I see you're all quite young, so I'm going to send you to school so you can become knowledgeable and cultured people, find good jobs, and then move out and live your own lives. What do you think?

The crowd looked at each other, and finally all turned to look at Tian Zao. It has to be said that Tian Zao's prestige was absolutely number one in their hearts.

After listening to Lin Hao's arrangement, Tian Zao also felt that it made sense, as Lin Hao had also arranged for her to go to school in the same way.

He nodded to a group of children, and then the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

In this era of being poorly clothed and starving, having a place to live and the opportunity to study was simply the best life imaginable.

Children from poor families, in particular, mature early. Having been away from home since childhood, they are well aware of the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and therefore are sincerely grateful to Ou Tianzao and Lin Hao for helping them.

Lin Hao then led them to Chen's Silk Shop in Qianmen.

Lin Hao invested in Chen Xueru, which provided her with substantial financial support, enabling her to embark on a large-scale expansion.

It must be said that although Chen Xueru has terrible judgment, she does have a good business sense.

She bought the shop next door and combined it with the original shop to open a clothing store next door.

On one hand, they run a silk shop, dealing in raw materials; on the other hand, they directly engage in deep processing, dealing in ready-made garments.

This means she has connected half of the supply chain, and her business has been booming since last year.

With the promulgation of the new government and the release of various favorable news, the business of silk shops and clothing stores became even more booming.

"Oh, what brings you here?" Chen Xueru, who was drawing a pattern for a new outfit, stood up in surprise and came to Lin Hao, supporting her back.

"What, can't I bring it to see you?" Lin Hao joked with a smile, then pointed to the children and said:

"Xueru, have the shop assistant pick out two sets of clothes for these guys, brand new from head to toe, inside and out!"

Chen Xueru, who was heavily pregnant, saw the children but didn't care. Instead, she glanced at Tian Zao in the crowd and then rolled her eyes at Lin Hao.

"You really are a romantic!" Chen Xueru said irritably. "Look at what you're saying!" Lin Hao pretended not to hear, but still offered a few words of explanation.

“These are all orphans. Their parents were bullied to death by those local thugs. It’s not easy for them to grow up like this. I just felt sorry for them and wanted to help them!”

"Don't try to fool me. You know what I'm talking about?" Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Lin Hao.

"Then why don't you move in here!" Lin Hao said irritably. "You're not moving in, but you're not letting anyone else move in either!"

"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?!"

"How could I dare? You're now using the emperor to command the nobles; I wouldn't dare offend you!" Lin Hao then said solemnly.

"But then again, are you really not considering moving in?"

Chen Xueru touched her belly, then smiled and said, "No, thank you. As long as you, the father, come often, that's fine!"

Chen Xueru has her own pride. It's true that she likes Lin Hao, but her career is also another part of her life.

Besides, she had her pride and didn't want to be preoccupied with matters in the backyard all day. She then smiled and said:

“Please, be a great philanthropist and give them the money. There are eight of them in total. From hats to shoes, from underwear to coats, even the best cotton fabrics, it would cost at least 200,000 yuan per person.”

"I'll say it's 200,000 per set, then 3 times 7 is 28, and 8 sets would be 1.6 million. Pay up." Chen Xueru stretched out her right hand.

"I really can't do anything with you." Lin Hao then counted out 160 million and placed it in Chen Xueru's palm. Only then was Chen Xueru satisfied and had someone hand the clothes to Lin Hao.

After leaving Chen Xueru's shop, Lin Hao took the group of children to a bathhouse and had the bath attendants give them a thorough cleaning, inside and out.

After they finished washing, Lin Hao let them change into new clothes. He didn't let them throw away their old clothes; instead, he told them to take them home, wash them, and wear them when they were working.

As Soho said, clothes make the man and gold make the Buddha. These little kids look quite good in their new clothes.

"Brother Lin, thank you!" Tian Zao said, moved.

Lin Hao said nonchalantly, "We're not strangers. You're my wife, so there's no need for special thanks. Like I said, your younger brother and sister-in-law are my younger brother and sister-in-law too."

The children couldn't speak, but they just smiled and looked at Lin Hao and Tian Zao, feeling that they were the best people in the world.

······
Time flies, and before they knew it, it was November. Only then did Lin Hao learn from Xu Yunnuo that Guan Baohui had given birth to a daughter a week earlier.

So Lin Hao specially asked Xu Yunnuo to take him to visit Guan Baohui at her home.

As soon as you enter, you see her holding a small baby in her arms.

It turned out to be a girl named Xiaotong, who took Guan Baohui's surname. Lin Hao had originally wanted to name her 117, but Guan Baohui strongly refused.

She had known about Lin Hao's bad habit for a long time: he always liked to use numbers to name his children.

Lin Hao looked at the child in Guan Baohui's arms. The child's eyes were pure and clear, black and round, big and round, and it was incredibly cute.

I originally wanted to take her hands directly, but Guan Baohui was still breastfeeding, so I waited until she finished feeding the baby before I took her hands to hold the girl.

Unexpectedly, the child wasn't afraid of him at all. Instead, he stretched out his little hand and waved it, then grinned and drool dripped out.

Human babies are truly amazing creatures. Such tiny things can be incredibly dangerous. No wonder there are so many online scams that try to persuade people to have daughters.

"Lin Hao, I see this child is so close to you, why don't you adopt her as your goddaughter?" Old Master Xu said from the side.

Actually, she had vaguely sensed before that Guan Baohui's gaze towards Lin Hao was strange, and Lin Hao's gaze towards Guan Baohui was also ambiguous.

However, Guan Baohui denied it, so he couldn't say anything. Therefore, after Lin Hao returned, he deliberately told him about it.

Sure enough, Lin Hao rushed over, saying he wanted to check on Guan Baohui, but with his experience, how could he not see Lin Hao's concern and excitement?

However, he felt that Guan Baohui following Lin Hao was actually a good choice, at least the mother and daughter would not have a bad life.

Lin Hao, of course, pretended not to understand, and immediately agreed when Xu Yunnuo made the suggestion:

“Great idea! Xiaotong is so cute, of course I’m willing. But I don’t know if Hui’er will agree?” Lin Hao looked at Guan Baohui.

Ultimately, it depends on Guan Baohui's wishes. If she's not willing, Lin Hao won't force her.

“Anyway, she doesn’t have a biological father, so having a godfather isn’t bad. At least when people call her a little bastard, she can say she has a father.” Guan Baohui glanced at Lin Hao.

Guan Baohui's words sounded sharp, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with Lin Hao's late arrival. However, Lin Hao had no choice; he had so many things to do and simply didn't have time to spend with her.

Not to mention Guan Baohui, even the women in Lin Hao's family don't get to see each other very often; he only comes back to visit them when he has free time.

"What you're saying clearly means you agree, but it just doesn't sound quite right," said Old Master Xu, his brow furrowing slightly.

“I’m just telling the truth, this child really doesn’t have a biological father.” Guan Baohui gave Lin Hao a look.

Lin Hao remained silent with a blank expression. This child's surname was Guan, not Lin, and Guan Baohui was not his wife or concubine, so he wouldn't indulge her.

Seeing that Lin Hao didn't respond, Guan Baohui felt a little disappointed for some reason, and finally gave up that lingering hope in her heart.

Fortunately, Kwan Po-wai is sensible and, since she didn't have high hopes to begin with, she wasn't too disappointed.

"Sigh, fine then!" Guan Baohui sighed helplessly.

"Since you want to be my child's godfather, you should at least give me a gift. You're just talking big and expecting my child to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. That's just too much!"

"You think you can outsmart me with just this little bit of skill?" Lin Hao said with a smile after Guan Baohui regained her composure.

"Who said I was just talking nonsense? I have a longevity lock here!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao took out a longevity lock from his pocket, picked up his daughter, and said with a smile:

"It was originally prepared for my future daughter, but since this child just happened to be born, I'll give her to you, my dear daughter!"

It's made of pure gold, but of course it's not solid.

If this were solid, it would weigh several kilograms; a child's neck couldn't possibly withstand it.

Therefore, it is hollow and weighs a total of 9.9 taels, which symbolizes longevity, and this is also the meaning of the longevity lock.
