Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

My mom and aunt usually have a drink or two, and today is a small family gathering, so of course they should have a couple of drinks.

Slurp! Niu Dazhuang downed a cup in one gulp: "After trying so many, this is still the best!" He then smacked his lips on a piece of pig's head, feeling satisfied...

After half the food and drinks had been consumed, Niu Dazhuang finally spoke up: "Stop foolishly learning technical skills from your master, try other jobs too!"

"The transportation company in Fengtai isn't owned by our family, and my mom has retired now. Where am I supposed to find a job?"

"Come to headquarters! No, it should be called the Hong Kong-invested joint venture transportation company now. I'll make the arrangements for you."

"Didn't Bai Hongyan also retire?" Su Wan knew a little about it, but she didn't know that the boss behind it was Niu Dazhuang.

"It's true that she took early retirement, but I can still speak up for her."

"Oh, you don't have any shares in this, do you?" Su Wan guessed something.

Niu Dazhuang didn't intend to hide anything: "It's not that I own shares, this Hong Kong-funded company is mine. Zhang Bingqian and her sister are also my people."

Su Chengyan shook his head vigorously: "I'm not going to work for my stepmother. What if she gets upset one day and she'll kill me?"

"Now that this matter is in your hands, can you manage it?"

Su Chengyan continued to shake his head: "I've only just finished my apprenticeship, I can't manage such a huge mess."

"At least you have some self-awareness. Since you can't manage it, why don't you hurry up and come and learn more?" Niu Dazhuang was quite frustrated. How did the joint venture transportation company become a hot potato? He couldn't even send it away. First, the boss Niu Chengqun refused to take it, and now Cheng Yan is refusing to take it either.

What the hell is this?!

These older guys seem to have an unspoken agreement to avoid interacting with their stepmothers. They even seem to be avoiding them.

Niu Dazhuang continued his deception: "Don't look down on how little money we're making now. If I were in a taxi company in two years..."

"Taxi? Dad, are you trying to use a car as a taxi? Even if you can afford a car, ordinary people can't afford it. These days, tricycles are so cheap; two yuan can get you a ride around the East District."

"Buying an imported car is definitely not a good idea now. Let's wait another two years. They're currently negotiating a partnership with the Japanese in Tianjin, and they'll release a reasonably priced model in the future… The taxi industry will likely become a semi-monopolistic sector in the future."

At least this semi-monopoly can last for twenty or thirty years! The transportation company is also good; it could be developed into a large logistics park in the future…”

Niu Dazhuang wasn't exactly making empty promises; he was describing a future trend based on a certain vision.

"Sis, you said Dad isn't even drunk yet, why is he talking in his sleep?"

"Xiao Yan, you haven't been back for a while. I went to Hong Kong with them..." Qin Ling recounted what he had seen and heard in Hong Kong.

"Wow! I never knew Dad was so rich! I'm totally at a disadvantage, Dad, am I still your son?"

"What mischief are you up to now, you little rascal?"

"They all went to Hong Kong Island, why won't you let me go too!"

"You can go on a trip if you want. After you and your partner get married, I'll send you on a trip to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. You can stay for a year or two."

"real?"

"Can't be faked?"

"Can I exchange it for cash?"

"Get lost. A destination wedding is fine, but that's impossible now."

"I don't care, but I don't know if Xiaofang would like it."

"Whether you like it or not depends on your own abilities! You can even come up with a way to hang me on the wall, is there any other way you can't think of?"

"It's over, why are you bringing it up again?"

Niu Dazhuang, not one to mince words, retorted, "Hey kid, what if, after you get married, you suddenly call me 'Dad' when you see me? Won't that scare your wife to death?"

Su Chengyan nodded seriously: "What you said is really true. Let's marry her first."

"Haha, your shamelessness is just like mine back in the day. If all those guys were like you, what would I have to worry about!"

"You're such a grown-up, why don't you teach your child something good? What kind of word is 'shameless'!" Su Wan couldn't stand it anymore.

The father and son exchanged a knowing glance and then dropped the subject.

The conversation that followed was quite heartwarming. Su Wan and Su Ting, slightly tipsy, went back to their rooms to sleep.

"Dad, I'm going to sleep in the neighbor's yard." Su Chengyan was also helpless. Whenever the boss came, there was never a peaceful time at home. Finally, his mother and aunt had quieted down, but then his sister took over.

"Yes, I already heated the kang (heated brick bed) on the east side of the main house in the front yard during the day. Don't sleep in any other room." Qin Ling got up and saw the person out of the house, casually reminding them.

"Okay, sis."

After a period of hiatus, I started drinking milk tea again tonight...

Next, we'll be busy with the eldest son's wedding.

Niu Dazhuang arrived at the courtyard carrying a bag of pig's head meat, a bottle of Erguotou liquor, and a bag of Daqianmen cigarettes with filters.

"Where's your silly Zhu?" This generation's silly Zhu is not as good as the previous one. It seems that silly Zhu's fate was predetermined.

In his previous life, he was schemed against by Qin Huairu and almost lost his family line. At least he managed to have one son.

In this life, Liang Ladi came with three sons and a daughter. After marrying Sha Zhu, she had another son and a daughter, making a total of six children.

Fortunately, Liang Ladi has a job, and the couple manages to raise six children, which is quite an achievement.

In the past two years, the children have grown up, and Da Mao, Er Mao, and San Mao have all started working, which has finally improved the family's situation.

"Dazhuang, come in and sit down." Liang Ladi wiped his hands on his apron and welcomed him in.

When Sha Zhu, who was lying on the kang, heard someone coming, he took his hat off his face and saw that it was Niu Dazhuang, who was carrying some things.

He immediately perked up, quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), and asked with a silly grin, "Old Niu, what wind blew you here?"

Niu Dazhuang put the pig's head he was carrying on the table and said without ceremony, "Get the wine cups, let's have a couple of drinks first."

"I'll get you another dish!" Liang Ladi said as he walked out.

"No need, I have something to do later."

After taking out the wine cup, Sha Zhu took out half a plate of peanuts from the cupboard.

After the two drank three cups one-on-one, Niu Dazhuang handed Sha Zhu a cigarette and lit one for himself.

Sha Zhu knew that something was about to happen.

"My eldest son is getting married this National Day holiday..."

"Understood, I'll take on the role of head chef." Sha Zhu was a straightforward person, and he took over the role before Niu Dazhuang could finish speaking.

"Hey, you're a real man! Let's have another one. What's the going rate these days? I'll double it. I have a lot of family!"

"I know you have a large family, and I definitely can't manage alone. I'll need to bring people to help."

"You decide how many people to bring."

"How many tables should we set up? What's the standard?"

"Let's prepare fifteen tables first. The standard is eight tables per table!"
