Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

"I did some organizational work during this trip to the port city. I can't go into the specifics of what I did, but I can say that I made a small contribution."

"There are confidentiality requirements for this job, so please don't ask any more questions."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

Upon hearing his words, the others naturally began asking about other things.

For example, what's it like in the port city? Is it chaotic? Are there many foreigners there?

Are the people in the port city able to afford food? Is there meat to eat? Are there many cars over there?

Chen Jianye said a few words briefly, without revealing too much.

If he told everyone in the compound that the port city's economy was doing well and that ordinary people could afford rice and meat, many people would probably be taken aback.

They will also report him for spreading harmful information.

So he simply didn't say anything, only some trivial things.

Chen Jianye carried Chen Zhongguo home.

Lying back in the chair, he lowered his head and kissed Chen Zhongguo, his heart filled with peace and happiness.

It's better to go home.

Working away from home is never as comfortable as being with family.

"You haven't shaved properly, don't prick him."

Ran Qiuye reminded.

"It's okay to prick him once. I'll just give him to you once he's awake."

Chen Jianye, supporting Chen Zhongguo, chuckled.

Ran Qiuye asked about Chen Jianye's affairs in Gangcheng.

When facing his family, Chen Jianye didn't hide anything and talked about his work in the port city.

He accompanied staff from the Ministry of Foreign Trade to the port city to select new distributors for electric kettles. Including the round trip, he stayed there for a full three weeks.

There is indeed a lot to say.

Moreover, Chen Jianye did not hide the true state of life in Hong Kong from Ran Qiuye and her daughter.

Ran Qiuye and Lü Qiang were astonished to hear that ordinary people in the port city could eat rice and meat.

"There are many cars in the port city, and countless bicycles. You don't need tickets to buy things there."

"Meat, cigarettes, and alcohol are all clearly priced, and there's a small shop every few hundred meters; you can buy them with money."

"The wages there are higher. You can earn seven or eight yuan a day unloading cargo at the dock. Several colleagues from the Foreign Trade Department spend their free time unloading cargo at the dock to earn money."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

"The port city's economy is so good! It sounds like paradise to you."

Lü Qiang was amazed.

"Yes, everyone can afford to eat meat. Is there such a wonderful place in the world?"

Ran Qiuye was also surprised.

Even though she knew Chen Jianye wouldn't lie to her, it still felt unreal.

"The port city's economy is indeed good. That place has a natural harbor and its commerce is very developed."

"You must not tell anyone what I'm telling you, or you'll be reported for promoting capitalist strategies."

Chen Jianye offered a reminder.

"Of course, I won't talk nonsense."

Lü Qiang quickly replied.

"Oh, by the way, I made some money in Hong Kong and brought you some gifts."

Chen Jianye handed Chen Zhongguo to Lü Qiang, opened his own bag, and took out a box of mooncakes and a box of peach shortbread.

"Jianye, this is all money you worked hard to earn, right? You're already working so hard on official business, and you're still doing manual labor to make money."

Lü Qiang felt sorry for her son-in-law.

“Mom, I’m different from my other colleagues. They go to the docks to unload cargo and earn money, but I provide equipment guidance to small factories in the port city and earn money.”

“I would go to a small factory workshop, tell them how to improve, and the boss would give me thirty yuan.”

"My colleagues all envy how fast I make money."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

"That's not bad. Wow, you can earn thirty yuan per job? Is it that easy to make money in Hong Kong?"

Lü Qiang was amazed.

"That's because I can make money easily; I have technical skills."

"It's still very difficult for ordinary people to make money; doing manual labor or working a regular job is not easy."

"Although the economy in the port city is good, there is a big gap between the rich and the poor. The rich have millions in assets, while the poor live worse than us and can only do odd jobs to make money."

"To be honest, I still think it's better in China, at least there are no capitalists who dare to bully ordinary people."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

He opened the mooncake box, took out a mooncake, and handed it to Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye took it, broke it in half, and gave half to Lü Qiang.

"Jianye, you should try some too."

Lü Qiang smiled and took the half mooncake. Smelling its sweet aroma, she was so happy that her eyes almost closed.

These are mooncakes her son-in-law brought from Hong Kong; you can't buy them on the mainland.

"I've had some in the port city, and they were even better than this mooncake."

"After we arrived in the port city, my colleague took me to meet a big boss in the port city. He was an agent for hot water dispensers and made a lot of money."

"He originally planned to treat us to a meal, but organizational discipline didn't allow it, so he gave us a box of mooncakes instead."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

The three of them sat inside chatting happily for more than two hours.

Chen Jianye concealed the fact that he had acquired the company and taken on underlings.

He told Ran Qiuye and Lü Qiang about everything else.

"The port city is really great; the food they make here is delicious."

Lü Qiang tasted the mooncakes and peach shortbread and praised them highly.

"Mom, take some back for Dad so he can try some too."

"You should rest at home for the next few days. Jianye is back, and with him here, you can finally catch your breath."

Ran Qiuye said considerately.

"Hey, I'm not busy here, and I can even see my darling grandson."

“I miss Zhongguo if I don’t see him for a day.”

Lu Qiang stretched out her finger and gently stroked Chen Zhongguo's cheek, her face full of affection.

Despite saying that, Lü Qiang still took a mooncake and two peach shortbreads back with her.

If I enjoy something delicious, I should also share it with my spouse.

Moreover, she had been staying with Ran Qiuye for the past twenty days or so, helping to take care of the child, and she was indeed tired.

Mei Yubo's wife would also come over to help take care of the children, but she wouldn't stay overnight at the Li family's house; it was mainly Lü Qiang who was helping out.

After Lü Qiang left, Chen Jianye closed the door and hugged Ran Qiuye.

"It's still daytime."

Ran Qiuye sensed Chen Jianye's longing and eagerness, and said shyly.

"It's daytime, I miss you so much."

Chen Jianye said in a low voice.

Suddenly, Chen Zhongguo burst into tears.

"What's wrong with the little one?"

Chen Jianye quickly picked up his son.

"You're hungry, I'll feed you."

Ran Qiuye lifted her clothes.

She lay on the bed, Chen Zhongguo nestled in her arms, his little mouth opening and closing as he swallowed large gulps of milk.

Chen Jianye looked at his wife and children with a faint smile on his face.

Chen Zhongguo was full, his little face was still sleepy, and he quickly fell asleep again.

Chen Jianye and Ran Qiuye began to handle the matter.

As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Both of them longed for each other, their hearts burning with passion, and they embraced tightly.

In the afternoon, Chen Jianye and Ran Qiuye finished their meal and then took their stroller out.

He needed to go to Uncle Mei's house to let him know he was back and to talk to Uncle Mei about the work situation in Gangcheng.

There's another matter; Chen Jianye wants to visit You Fengxia.

"come back earlier."

Ran Qiuye stood at the door and gave her instructions.

"Don't worry, you won't be staying for long."

Chen Jianye waved and pushed his bicycle out the door.
