Chapter 179 No such person found
The Su family knew that they would be returning to the mainland to experience life in a few days, so they were all imagining the hardships of life in the mainland. Suning's four children were no longer as cheerful as usual, and even Axia's father had lost his temper.

In fact, Axia's father was also very regretful. He realized that he should not have used words to provoke his son-in-law Suning. Originally, it would have been enough to go to the eldest brother Su Hang, but now a family of six has to go back to the mainland.

Although Suning rarely interferes in trivial matters at home, everyone in the Su family knows that things decided by Suning are generally difficult to be changed by others, not even Axia.

"Master, there are two people outside who call themselves Michelle and Susan, and they are here to visit you, Master and Madam."

"Oh? Please invite them in!" Suning and Axia looked at each other in confusion, and quickly stood up and went out with Axia to greet them.

"Haha, Fatty Su, Susan and I are here to see you!"

"Michelle, Susan, you two are rare guests!"

Soon, the four children of the Su family greeted Michelle and his wife, and then went back to their rooms to rest. After some greetings, Su Ning and Michelle talked about their respective work.

"Suning, I really should thank you!

If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of doing business with Mr. Huo."

"Haha, from what you said, it seems that you and Mr. Huo have a very good relationship?"

"Of course!
Mr. Huo’s influence in the mainland is no exaggeration!
Although grain prices are relatively low, transactions with the mainland are all large-scale grain transactions, and everything is going smoothly!

Now even the David brothers in the United States are full of praise for Mr. Huo and the mainland. "

"Yeah! That's good!

That’s right, Michelle!

I remember that the American David brothers seemed to have some connection with the US military's logistics department, right?"

"Huh? Yeah! What's wrong?"

"Since Brother David has some connections with the U.S. Army Logistics Department, why don't you and your company sell the strategic reserve materials that are close to expiration?"

"Uh? What? Is this okay?"

"Why not!
Michelle, think about it.

Food in the strategic material reserves, such as chicken, pork, beef, and various canned foods, all have a time limit!

Expired items will cost a lot to dispose of.

Why can't we sell it cheaply to the mainland when it's nearing expiration date?"

"Suning, this is a good business!"

“Haha, of course it’s good business!
It's a peaceful time now, there are no major wars at all, so the strategic reserves need to be updated!

As long as the food quality is good and the price is cheap, there will be no problem selling it in the mainland.

Coupled with Mr. Huo's connections in the mainland, your company will definitely make a lot of money."

"Suning, it's such a good business, why don't you do it yourself?" Michelle was a little tempted, but still looked at Suning hesitantly.

“Michelle, it doesn’t matter because I’m in the United States!
Otherwise, he would not have become a German citizen.

Besides, I don’t have as much business as Mr. Huo in the mainland.

So I can’t do a lot of good business.”

"Yeah! That's true!
Doing business without relationships is troublesome!"

"Michelle, if you think this logistical supplies deal is feasible, you can discuss it with Mr. Huo first.

Let Mr. Huo go to the mainland first to see if the mainland is willing to take these processed strategic materials.

However, I believe that as long as the price and quality are acceptable, mainland China will definitely agree to purchase it."

"Yes! That's it!
Suning, I have nothing to say about how you treat your brothers!
It seems that the greatest luck in my life is to have met a good brother like you."

“Haha, Michelle, you are exaggerating!
The main thing is that some things are just so helpless!

I know it is very profitable, but I just can't do it because I don't have any connections.

It would be great if your company could make this money!"

In fact, when Suning first invested in Michelle's grain and oil company, it had already thought about buying and selling frozen and stored food.

However, because he was too lazy to explain the misunderstanding, others still thought he had gained a lot of benefits from it, so he simply withdrew his shares and left Michelle's company.

But after meeting Michelle and Susan today, Suning couldn't help but bring up this matter.

There is a shortage of supplies in the mainland now, so it would be great if there were some cheap and high-quality frozen foods.

As for Michelle's proposal for Suning, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and then his heart felt like a cat's paw and he could no longer sit still.

Before long, Michelle took Susan away from the Su family and went straight to Mr. Huo's mansion.

Michelle is a cunning guy, but not very cunning, so he can't hide any important things in his heart, and he just wants to solve and get it done as soon as possible.

Looking at Michelle's sudden visit, Mr. Huo felt very surprised. Then after hearing Michelle's explanation, he realized that this "money-grubber" in front of him had fallen into the trap of money again.

"Michelle, your suggestion is quite good!

It’s just that the mainland’s foreign exchange is tight, so it’s impossible to buy frozen food in bulk!”

"Mr. Huo, our company can accept mainland currency settlement!

What’s more, the frozen food is of good quality and cheap, which is absolutely good value for money.

If the mainland is interested in purchasing, I will ask Brother David from the United States to help contact them."

“Well! Michelle, you make sense!

I will ask the mainland leaders for their opinions on this matter!"

"Haha, then I'll wait for your good news!"

"Oh right! Michelle, why did you suddenly think of frozen food?"

"Huh? I've had this idea for a long time!

It’s just that recently our grain and oil company has completed several large-scale business deals with the mainland and has established a certain level of trust.

That's why I decided to bring this up." Michelle certainly wouldn't bring up Suning in front of Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo, who was old and experienced, knew that Michelle was unwilling to tell the real reason, so he stopped arguing with the matter and instead laughed it off.

After Michelle left, Mr. Huo looked at the housekeeper next to him and said, "Old Lin, do you know where Michelle came from?"

"My Lord, it seems like it came from Mr. Su's villa."

"Oh? So it's another trick Fatty Su used on Michelle!"

“Master, you said such a good grain and oil business.

Why is Fatty Su unwilling to do it with Michelle?

Is there something hidden here that we don’t know about?”

"Haha, Lao Lin, you just think too much!

I guess it’s because Fatty Su has a big business and doesn’t care about the troubles of the grain and oil business.

But then again, if the mainland agrees to purchase frozen food, and the price and quality are fair, it would be a win-win situation for everyone."

Archives room of a police station in Qingdao, Shandong, mainland China.

"Captain Chen, haven't you found that person's information yet?"

At this time, the middle-aged man who was buried in the vast archives uttered an extremely tired voice, "There is no such person!"

"Captain Chen! I think you should stop working!
But I heard that no information about this person could be found in Beijing.

Now I think this person is definitely not from Qingdao, Shandong!"

“That’s hard to say!

The superior unit said that this person appeared in Hong Kong Island in 1949.

It's very likely that due to the war, there is no information at all." "Then what should we do?
Isn’t this as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack?”

"Oh! What else can I do?
I will review the population of people with the surname Su in Qingdao again tonight.

If there is still no result, we can only report to the higher-ups that this person does not exist."

"Okay! I guess this is the only way!"

The mainland police checked Suning's information because Suning suddenly asked to return to the mainland. For some special reasons, the mainland police of course needed to check Suning's information.

But what is puzzling is that Suning seems to have appeared out of thin air. There is no information about Suning either in Beijing or Qingdao, Shandong.

The police visited many places in Qingdao and checked many files, but ultimately came to the conclusion that such a person did not exist.

A three-entry courtyard house near Beihai Park in the mainland, Beijing.

"Dad, I'm almost ready!

Can you buy us some toilets?"

"No! If you want to use the bathroom, go to the public toilet outside and queue up!"

"Dad, you are really our dear dad!

No one would torture their own son like you do!"

"Hey, little bastard!
I've only been in the capital for a few days, and I've already learned the art of being a stinking poor fellow!"

At this time, Su Hang no longer cared about the bickering with his father Su Ning, because he saw his younger brothers Su Yuan and Su Hai running out of the courtyard with their backs lowered. Needless to say, they were going to queue up in the public toilet, so he quickly ran out as well.

"Su Yuan, Su Hai, you two wait for me!"

"Little bastards!"

Looking at his three sons who ran out to go to the toilet, Suning smiled with satisfaction. It was absolutely right to bring them back to the mainland this time.

Not only did they get rid of their bad habits, they also learned the culture and dialect of the capital very well, and gradually began to be proud of their Chinese identity. This may be the most successful patriotic education.

Axia was very happy to see that the relationship between father and son had become much closer, because Suning had been busy with business in Hong Kong Island and rarely asked about family matters.

Now I can take time out to accompany my family back to the mainland to experience life. It is a rare and happy time for our family.

Su Hang ran out of the courtyard as fast as he could, and then came to the public toilet in the alley. Seeing his two younger brothers queuing there anxiously, he quickly ran up and stood in line behind them.

Seeing the eldest brother Su Hang standing in line behind them in an orderly manner, the second brother Su Yuan complained, "Brother, it's all your fault!

Why were you so picky in the first place?

Otherwise, we wouldn't have to suffer this with you!"

"Su Yuan, are you blaming me now?
I remember you usually waste more food than me!
Don't pretend to be a good kid in front of me!"

"Everything we have now is caused by you!" Unable to argue with his eldest brother Su Hang, the second brother Su Yuan said in a rogue manner.

"Tsk! Su Yuan, you should all thank me!

If it weren't for me, would you be able to eat the food our father cooks?"

"Big brother, second brother, please stop arguing!
Thinking of the twice-cooked pork our dad made last night, I feel a little greedy! "At this time, the youngest Su Hai was missing the twice-cooked pork last night.

"Su Hai, let me tell you! Yesterday's steamed lion's head was delicious!"

At this time, Su Yuan was also aroused by his brother Su Hai's words, and his appetite was aroused. He drooled and recalled the past with fascination.

"Second brother, you ate all the lion's head yesterday!

I didn’t get to eat it!”

"Who told you to just stare at the twice-cooked pork?

Can you blame me for that?
My dad was the same. He was so frugal that he just made four lion heads.

There should be one for each person!" Su Yuan felt very aggrieved and complained to his father Su Ning.

"Su Yuan, do you dare to say that he is stingy in front of our dad?"

"I dare not!

Do you dare to ask our dad to make a few more lion heads?"

"Second brother, otherwise everyone would say you are stupid!

It's useless for any of us three to say anything!

Because our father loves the third child, Su Yu, the most, and whatever she says will be granted!"

The conversation between the three brothers was heard by the neighbors around them, and they couldn't help but drool.

An old man in the toilet queue in front of me complained angrily, "Whose child is this?
I actually wanted to eat next to a public toilet!

Does it taste good? "

“Who else could it be!
Aren’t they the Cantonese family that just moved into Beile Mansion a while ago? "

"Oh! So it's their house!

I told you! Who can eat so well these days?
It seems like they are from Guangdong!
What kind of work does their family do?

I haven't seen their men working either?"

“Who knows?

The street director knew about it, but he just didn’t tell us!

Their child is right here, if you want to know why not just ask!"

The old man, who initially disliked the taste of the public toilet door, heard the neighbor's instigation and really asked the three brothers of the Su family.

"Kid, where are you from?"

"Guangzhou!" Su Hang was nine years old after all, and he had received instructions from his father, so he answered directly.

"Hey! Guangzhou is a great place!
What do your parents do for a living?"

"I don't know! We kids don't know about grown-up matters!"

"Hey, this kid's accent sounds quite like our Beijing accent!"

"What's your last name? You know that, right?"

"Surname Su!"

"That"

"Sir, please don't ask!
Go to the toilet quickly!
It’s your turn!”

When the old man heard Su Hang's reminder, he hurriedly looked towards the public toilet and found that someone wanted to cut in line while he was talking to Su Hang.

"Hey, the five boys from the Han family!

Want to cut in line? No way!

If you want to go to the toilet, please queue up behind me!"

Su Hang had a hard time adapting to the chattering culture of Beijing at first, but after his father Suning took him and his four siblings to the Beijing Cultural Palace for a few tutoring classes, Su Hang and his siblings gradually got used to it.

Because of Suning's advance instructions, Su Hang seemed very adept at dealing with these enthusiastic Beijing uncles and aunts.

The neighbors in the streets around Beihai were all curious about the newly moved Suning family. Whether it was the former Qing Dynasty Beile Mansion they moved into or the fact that they had enough food and drink every meal, the neighbors in the street were extremely envious.

It was only because the street office and the police station had given advance notice that no one was allowed to interact with the Su family casually, so few people dared to harass the Su family. This led to the scene that the neighbors had just inquired about.

Su Hang and his friends had never experienced this kind of lively urban culture in Hong Kong Island. When they first returned to the capital of the mainland, Su Hang and his four siblings felt everything was new and fresh.

However, living in Beijing for many days not only refreshed their three views, but also made them see the difficulties of ordinary people's lives, and began to take life and food seriously.

This is the effect Suning wants to achieve. Words are not as good as actions. Only by letting them experience and go through it personally can they truly be patriotic.
