Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 326, House

In July 1972, a primary school entrance examination was underway on the campus of a primary school in Beijing.

Sisters Zhao Jingrou and Zhao Juntao both had two small braids. They sat upright at their respective desks, holding the pen in their small hands, answering calmly and writing down their answers on the test paper.

The two sisters are already used to such exams as they have experienced them countless times, so they are calm at this moment. Their minds are only thinking about how to solve the questions, and they don't feel nervous or have any other emotions.

After finishing the questions smoothly, they did not hand in the paper early. Instead, they followed the teacher's instructions, rested for a few minutes, and then checked the test paper.

After confirming that everything is correct, you can submit the paper or wait until the exam is over to submit it.

But both little guys handed in their papers.

There is no point in staying in the examination room. The test paper has been checked and there is no problem.

Their names, candidate numbers, etc. are also written on the test papers and they can hand them in.

"father!"

After the two children walked out of the school gate, they saw their father and mother.

But they seemed to ignore Lin Wan and only had eyes for their father.

It was obvious that there were two people who came to pick them up, but they only called their father. Lin Wan immediately got angry.

She was jealous.

The family was laughing and joking. Zhao Mancang drove the car and brought the two children home. Now they just had to eat and drink well and didn't have to worry about anything else.

The entrance exam from primary school to junior high school doesn’t take long and can be completed in one day.

By now, the question of where Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi will study should have been determined.

The two sisters naturally wanted to study in Hong Kong, but Zhao Mancang didn't think so. He wanted to keep the two children in Beijing.

But at present, except for Jiaolong School, other schools in Beijing are not very good.

Jiaolong School is only allowed to enroll students from rural areas, and does not accept students from urban areas.

There is no doubt that both Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi do not meet the admission standards for rural areas. After all, Zhao Mancang is a leader and Lin Wan is also a city dweller. How could their family be a rural family?

Since Jiaolong School doesn't work, Zhao Mancang has no other choice but to send the child to Hong Kong Island.

But if Zhao Jingrou and Zhao Juntao are really sent to Hong Kong Island, who will take care of them?
"How about asking my mother to go over there and take care of the three sisters?"

Lin Wanru suggested this, but Zhao Mancang shook his head and refused.

Asking his mother-in-law to go to Hong Kong Island was not something he could do.

After all, you can't let his father-in-law and mother-in-law live apart all the time, right?

"How about this? Let the two sisters go to Hong Kong Island to study. I will visit them every now and then while they are in school. If you have time, you can also take the time to visit them."

Zhao Mancang pondered and said:

"They are not young anymore, they should be allowed to be independent. As parents, we can't keep an eye on them all the time."

"I will make arrangements in Hong Kong Island. Also, during the summer and winter holidays, we must keep them with us. If they go astray or learn something bad, we will be able to correct them in time."

Hearing this, Lin Wan said with a worried look on her face that if that was the case, it would be better to stay in the capital.

Haha, staying in the capital at this time is not a good choice.

In any case, Zhao Mancang was not very willing to let his children stay in Beijing to attend junior high school.

"Let's arrange it this way. Let them go to middle school and high school in Hong Kong Island, and then let them come back to Beijing to attend university."

"University? Are you saying that in six years, universities in the mainland will become better?"

Lin Wan asked in surprise when she heard this.

Zhao Mancang nodded slowly:
"That's for sure. You should have read in the newspaper that Project 43 has already begun and will be completed within the next few years."

"Chemical equipment costs us so much foreign exchange. If we don't make a profit, it will definitely not work. At the same time, we also need to cultivate our own talents, so we will definitely gradually open up in the future."

"Little Baozi and the others are really not suitable for middle and high school in Beijing right now because they won't learn much. Moreover, they will need to go abroad in the future. It would be a good idea to let them go to Hong Kong Island in advance to adapt and learn another language."

It is now 1972, and six years later it will be 1978. By that time, everything will be different.

Seeing Zhao Mancang say this, Lin Wan had no choice but to nod.

Soon, Zhao Mancang and Xiao Baozi announced their decision. The two sisters jumped up with joy, hugged their parents and kissed them, thanking them non-stop.

Of course they were very happy because they had always wanted to study in Hong Kong Island.

Only when they go to Hong Kong Island can they wear beautiful clothes, just like their older sister, who can wear different clothes and eat different food every day.

So cool!
Children like Xiao Shitou, Xiao Pangdun, and Xiao Siyu immediately looked at their parents eagerly, hugging their thighs. They also wanted to go to study in Hong Kong Island.

"No, you are still in elementary school and can't go there."

"Also, let me tell you, whether you're in Beijing or in Hong Kong, you need to study harder and observe more. Don't just play around all the time. If your grades drop, you know what the family rules are, right?"

Zhao Mancang said seriously, and although the children were reluctant, they could only nod.

They dared not disobey because their father would really punish them.

Standing in the corner seems simple enough, but what if it means standing in a small dark room?

I can't do anything I want to do, it's extremely boring, it's scary, and no one can hear me when I speak.

Although they had only experienced standing in the corner for an hour, they were all afraid of it.

The next day, Zhao Mancang took the children, Lin Wan, his mother-in-law and father-in-law, and set off for Hong Kong Island.

After arriving at Hong Kong Island, Zhao Mancang said mysteriously to Lin Wan and the others:
"I'll take you to a place later. You'll definitely be very happy when you see it."

Where?

Everyone was very curious, especially Zhao Huijun, who had lived in Hong Kong Island for eight years and knew the place very well.

"You'll know when we get there."

So the family got in a Mercedes-Benz and headed straight to Deep Water Bay.

When crossing Pok Fu Lam Road, Zhao Huijun acted as a tour guide, introducing everyone to the surrounding scenery and roads. She would say a few words about every detail.

Who made her live here for eight years, passing by these places every day?

Of course, Xiao Baozi and the others also know these places, but they definitely can’t say them if asked.

So at this time they looked at their eldest sister with great envy. Their eldest sister was so confident and beautiful.

Zhao Huijun was born in 1954 and is exactly 18 years old this year. She is a graceful young lady and is at the most beautiful age. She is confident and beautiful, and of course she is the envy of her younger brothers and sisters.

"Dad, this is Deep Water Bay. What are we doing here?"

When they were almost at their destination, Zhao Huijun took a look and immediately asked curiously.

She wanted to go forward and hug her father's arm, but was stopped by Zhao Mancang. At the same time, Lin Wan on the side glared at the little girl.

"How old are you? Still clinging to your father like this? Don't you have any shame!"

Lin Wan was just jealous.

Although Zhao Huijun is her daughter and she raised her since childhood, in fact, she has no blood relationship with Lin Wan and Zhao Mancang.

Although Zhao Mancang would not do those things, the child is already so old, and some intimate actions must not be allowed.

Zhao Huijun just made a face, then ran to the other side and hugged her father's arm, but Zhao Mancang warned her to be careful.

"Oh, I get it. Dad, you're just an old-fashioned person. You're always like this. I hate you so much."

She said she hated her father, but in fact, she loved her father to death.

She didn't have any other thoughts. She just respected Zhao Mancang very much and treated her father as just a father, nothing else.

At this time, Zhao Mancang pointed at the Deepwater Bay Villa No. 66 in front of him and said:
"Do you remember this place?"

Lin Wan and the others nodded, but Zhang Dongyue and the old couple Lin Guohua were very confused. After all, it was their first time here and of course they didn't know where it was.

"I've bought this place. I've been talking to my friend about it for years, and finally at the beginning of this year, he was willing to sell it to me. I then arranged for someone to do some simple tidying up, and now it's ready to move in. From now on, this will be our new home on Hong Kong Island."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Huijun, Xiao Baozi, Xiao Taozi and other children cheered instantly.

Isn't this great?

Such a beautiful big house is their new home, which is of course a very good thing for the children.

Especially for Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi, they are about to come to Hong Kong Island to study, and it is a great surprise for them to live in such a big house immediately.

Zhang Dongyue and Lin Guohua, the elderly couple, didn't quite understand, but looking at the luxurious lawn in front of them, which was more beautiful than any park in Beijing, their lips couldn't help but tremble:

"Isn't this the royal garden?"

Lin Wan grabbed Zhao Mancang's arm and whispered, "Mancang, stop talking nonsense. Where did you get so much money? This villa must be worth tens of millions, right? You're kidding me!"

Upon hearing this, the latter took her hand and said cheerfully:

"I'm not kidding. I really bought this house. Don't worry, I got the money from it. It's absolutely clean, and the higher-ups know about it."

This money was a "reward" given to Zhao Mancang by his superiors. It would be unacceptable for him not to take it.

When he brought the gold back from Mindanao to China, the leaders of Lingjing Hutong Compound did not say anything and the rewards given were mostly honors.

But in recent years, whether it was his suggestion to the higher-ups to produce movie-related products, or his last direct donation of 2 billion US dollars, it shocked the higher-ups.

In short, Zhao Mancang's financial skills and ability to make money were truly extraordinary. That's why his superiors directly briefed him on this and also rewarded him with $10 million.

Although this 10 million US dollars was part of the funds deducted from the 2 billion US dollars, compared with the huge amount of funds that Zhao Mancang brought back before, this 10 million US dollars is really not a lot.

Lin Wan didn't know this, and Zhao Mancang planned to talk to her about it this time.

Another point is that the reason why he allowed Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi to study in Hong Kong Island was actually because he had applied to the leaders of Lingjing Hutong compound.

After hearing this, the leader laughed out loud:
"You can send your children to study wherever you want. If you are loyal to your motherland, I believe your children will be loyal to you as well."

No one is a fool, let alone the leader?
In fact, Zhao Mancang didn't need to mention this matter to his leader. You know, if Zhao Mancang really wanted to leave the mainland, there was no need to work so hard for the mainland.

In fact, the leaders have already roughly guessed that Zhao Mancang definitely has close relationships with the four newly emerging giants in Hollywood, as well as the so-called Sam's Club such as Wanjia Supermarket.

Even Zhao Mancang is one of the shareholders of these companies. As for how Zhao Mancang became a shareholder of these companies, the leaders do not know.

In short, the products exported from Dongda, including dinosaur accessories, clothes sold in supermarkets, quilt covers, hardware, nail clippers, etc., can always be sold on the shelves of Wanjia Supermarket. This is the credit of Zhao Mancang.

Otherwise, the leaders would not let him move freely and would have to watch him go to Sam's every now and then and not return to China for several months or even half a year.

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Lin Wan looked at him suspiciously.

However, at this time, Zhao Mancang was pulled into the manor by the children. Inside the manor, the housekeeper had already seen Zhao Mancang and came forward to greet him with a group of people.

This situation made the adults including Lin Wan, Lin Guohua, and Zhang Dongyue very uncomfortable, and even the children including Zhao Huijun felt the same.

But the children were more excited. Although they were a little reserved, their eyes were looking around everywhere; this is our home, it’s so big!

Although they had been here seven or eight years ago, it had been such a long time that the place felt very unfamiliar to them now.

With the help of the housekeeper, Zhao Mancang, Lin Wan and others toured the entire house, taking in every detail, including the annex where the bodyguards, housekeepers, chefs and others lived.

After the visit, Lin Wan and the others were still in a dream, feeling very unreal.

The youngest, Zhao Siyu, suddenly thought of something. She ran to hug her father's thigh and said coquettishly:
"Dad, can I go to school here with my sisters?"

After she said this, Little Stone and Little Fatty also hurried over.

However, Zhao Mancang shook his head and refused. They could not come here to live before they reached junior high school.

Lin Wan was looking at it thoughtfully at this time. She suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for the whole family to move to Hong Kong Island to live.

But Zhao Mancang did not agree, perhaps he had his own considerations.

Of course he wouldn't agree, after all, the focus of his career is still in China.

No matter what his plans are in Sam, Africa and other places, the purpose of all this is actually for the land under his feet. Otherwise, he would have lived a miserable life long ago.

Although a bad life has always been his pursuit, people are so mean that once they have it, they will discard it like a worn-out shoe.

What's more, he also needs to find something for Moscow to do, create some chaos for them, and continue his revenge.

In addition, his current needs are more about self-worth, rather than ordinary material needs.

He needs to satisfy his inner pursuit of value by completing something that he thinks is very meaningful, such as watching our Southeast University achieve manned space flight ahead of schedule.

Last but not least, he doesn't want his children to become banana people with yellow skin and white heart in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish children’s three views when they are still young.

A heart must be red!
"Humph, I don't like you anymore!"

After acting like a spoiled child for a while, crying and making a fuss, Zhao Siyu became unhappy when she saw that her father still didn't give in, and snorted angrily.

Seeing how cute she was, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but laugh.

"Hurry up and divide the rooms. Each of you will have a room. Apart from the master bedroom, you can choose the other rooms yourself."

Zhao Mancang said this with a smile, and the little guys immediately scattered.

The children all ran to find the houses they liked, and Zhao Mancang looked at his mother-in-law and father-in-law and said:
"Mom and Dad, you should also choose a house."

The two immediately said that they had no choice but to stay in the guest bedroom.

This is not possible!

Looking at Lin Guohua with white hair, Zhao Mancang suddenly said:

"Dad, how about you apply for early retirement? Then in September you and Mom can come here to live together and help look after the kids for us, what do you think?"

Lin Wan was about to go see the children, but when she heard this, she suddenly stopped.

The couple had already discussed it before and decided not to disturb the mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mancang suddenly changed his mind and asked her father to retire early.

You know, Lin Guohua still attaches great importance to his job as an elementary school teacher.

Besides, Lin Guohua is only in his fifties now, not yet sixty. What's the point of early retirement?

"This"

Lin Guohua hesitated for a moment, but Zhang Dongyue nudged him with her elbow and then said to Zhao Mancang:

"Mancang, there must be nothing wrong with your father. We are both old and have never been able to help you. Instead, you have helped us a lot."

What Zhang Dongyue said was not entirely correct. She still helped Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan a lot.

When Lin Wan was in confinement, especially after giving birth to Xiao Shitou, in addition to Zhao Huijun, there were also Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi, two one-year-old babies in the family. It was really busy at that time.

If it weren't for Zhang Dongyue's help, Lin Wan alone would not be able to take care of so many children.

Of course, at that time, every household had little to eat, except Zhao Mancang's family, which had no worries about food and drink.

At that time, Zhao Mancang did ask Zhang Dongyue to bring food and drinks to his father-in-law's house many times.

According to Zhang Dongyue, she is very willing to come to Hong Kong Island to help take care of the children.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang smiled and nodded, and the matter was settled.

With Lin Guohua and Zhang Dongyue here, Zhao Mancang is not afraid that the three sisters Zhao Huijun, Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi will rebel.

For the next week, Zhao Mancang stayed in Hong Kong Island and did not go anywhere, accompanying the little kids every day.

After moving into Villa No. 66 in Deep Water Bay, Zhao Huijun and the other children were happier than each other.

The villa is quite large, covering an area of ​​nearly nine acres. For the children, it is indeed the largest house they have ever lived in.

So they didn't feel bored at all even after staying in the villa and having fun for several days in a row.

It wasn't until a week later that they thought about going out.

But the cars we take when we go out now have become very different.

Causeway Bay Motors Group launched a new luxury car this year, priced at two million Hong Kong dollars, which is extremely luxurious from the inside out.

If you look closely, you will see that this car is actually the Rolls-Royce of later generations.

The little golden man in front of the car was replaced with the twelve zodiac animals. There are a total of three such cars in Zhao Mancang’s garage, currently including the dragon, tiger and rat.

The car logo of the twelve zodiac animals is also a first in the automotive industry. It has just been launched on the market and 100 units have already been pre-ordered.

After all, it is a car worth two million Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed very luxurious in today's era.

Little Baozi and his friends were so happy to go out in such a car.

"Dad, it's so quiet in the car."

Zhao Siyu, who was in the same car with Zhao Mancang, said with a smile.

"Well, do you want to listen to some music? If you do, you can play the tape."

Zhao Mancang smiled.

This car, which took nearly five years to build by Causeway Bay Automobile Group, uses the world's most advanced technology in everything from engine design to vehicle design, as well as other aspects such as leather seats, car tapes, shock absorbers, and braking systems.

Just in terms of sound insulation materials, the entire car has increased in weight by at least 300 kilograms, which is much heavier than a Rolls-Royce.

This sound insulation material is manufactured using the most advanced technology and is designed and installed according to the technology for the best sound insulation effect.

Therefore, in terms of sealing and sound insulation, this car has achieved the current ultimate level.

"miss you!"

The little girl answered crisply immediately, and of course Zhao Mancang played a song for her right away.

Soon, beautiful singing was heard in the car.

Their destination this time is Central, where they come to shop.

After arriving at the place, Zhao Mancang strolled with the children and saw the game room that had appeared on the street, and he immediately smiled.

The game console products launched by Robot Computer Company have begun to be promoted around the world.

This is a new form of entertainment. It is very novel to the whole world and has great appeal.

At this time, Zhao Mancang had already thought of VCD, DVD and other devices.

If such equipment is produced, perhaps the way of entertainment will change even more, and the film market will also usher in new development opportunities.

But at this time, Zhao Mancang thought of the film market in Hong Kong Island. After all, this is the Hollywood of the East.
