59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"Dad, there are so many delicious dishes, and you only took a bottle of wine?" Zhou Jing looked at the old man speechlessly. He had been coveting the bottle of Xinghua Village wine that had been stored for ten years for a long time!

"Jianjun and his friends rarely come here a few times a year. When they don't come, we drink Erguotou. When they come, we still drink Erguotou. It's like they came for nothing!"

"Ha ha!"

Several children couldn't help laughing.

Chen Li even imitated: "I didn't come to eat meat, I came to eat more meat!"

"Stupid, this is also Xinghua Village, and it's added with deer blood and ginseng. You've been drinking for so many years and you can't smell it!"

Grandpa cursed angrily and took out a bottle of health wine that the old man had sent him.

This was placed in a jar, and then he used an inverted triangle funnel to pour the wine into the Erguotou bottle.

The purpose is to control the consumption each time!

If you take out the jar, Zhou Jing can drink it all day long!

"I haven't had it many times, so how can I tell? If it's Erguotou, I'll tell you right away!"

Zhou Jing took the bottle with a smile and poured wine for the old man and Chen Jianjun, not forgetting Chen Feng and Zhang Haixing.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Hua, would you like some to warm you up?"

Chen Feng shook his head. If you can eat, don’t drink alcohol, even if it is health-preserving wine.

Zhang Haixiong likes to have a drink or two, but she still has to pretend in front of them.

"Thank you, no, I'll just have a soda."

"Uncle, is this wine delicious?" Chen Li came again!

The little guy only remembers eating and not being beaten!

She always felt that the wine adults drank was different from her own.

Otherwise, why were they drinking so happily?

"Chen Li——!" Zhou Qing hugged Chen Xing and glared at his little daughter.

"Mom, I'm just asking!"

Chen Li said this insincerely.

"There are so many dishes, comparable to the feast we had at Yingbinlou last time, except for the meat..."

Zhou Dinghai stopped talking.

He was drinking and laughing when his father looked at him, which made him feel numb.

It’s over, I let it slip!

"A grand dinner at the Yingbin Building? The last time you went to Forty-Nine City?"

Zhou Dinghai lowered his head and dared not answer.

"Brother, it's nothing. Chen Feng was just greedy, so he took them to the Yingbin Building for breakfast!" Chen Jianjun said quickly.

"No, even breakfast there is horribly expensive!"

Zhou Jing has sold many rare and good goods there, so he knows the prices there very well!

It’s true that one or two plates of food are worth more than ten days of hard work!

"Uncle, it's not my cousin who's going, it's Fatty Brother!"

Chen Li knows how to pass the buck.

I can't throw it to the two cousins present. If I throw it to them, they will definitely get beaten afterwards.

It's not a good idea to throw it to herself and her second brother. She had finally managed to appease her mother and she didn't want to get spanked.

It’s even worse to put the blame on others!

Give it to Brother Bayi, Brother Bayi is not greedy!

Fatty, it’s you!

Anyway, your uncle and mother won’t beat you!

Chen Feng smiled and touched the puppy's head, you are such a coward!

have a future!

"That's too extravagant. How much will it cost?" Zhou Jing glared at his two sons angrily.

Grandpa said angrily: "Just drink. You have no ability, but you don't allow Xiaofeng to have any ability?"

“It’s not like we eat it every day!”

Bloodline suppression successful!

Faced with his father's harsh criticism, Zhou Jing felt like he was stabbed in the chest and drank alcohol in depression.

I don’t have the ability, so don’t say it!

"Come on, come on, let's lift it up and take a walk!"

Chen Li likes this kind of program the most.

"Grandpa, I wish you a long life of a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years, and grandma, may you become more and more beautiful as you grow older!"

"Hahaha!"

The two old men laughed.

The little guy is getting better and better at being funny. He probably learned this from Fatty Wang, as only he can say such shameless and funny flattery.

Chen Hao is still a little bit short!

"cheers!"

Everyone stood up together, took a sip from their small bowls.

The Zhou family didn't have enough ceramic cups, so they had to use small bowls instead. Little Chen and Xing happily drank from the bottle, which contained milk mixed with juice.

I used goat milk powder soaked in warm well water!

After the first drink, the meal officially began. The kids stopped making noises and lowered their heads to eat attentively.

When the adults said this, Chen Jianjun was not good at talking much, but now he used his years of experience in the bar to select intelligence (gossip) from the city of Beijing.

He was completely oblivious to the four children eavesdropping.

The work of the security department may be ordinary, but it is very powerful in collecting gossip. Many employees often write anonymous letters of complaint to report their department heads for corruption, bribery, excessive eating and drinking, and hooliganism.

Ninety-nine percent of it is bullshit!

Don’t think that workers are kind. In an era where letters of denunciation are flying around and spreading rumors is free, they would rather waste a piece of paper than let a scoundrel go!

If the report is successful, you can stand up and receive the reward!

It doesn’t matter if you fail. It’s just a piece of paper and a little bit of your own idea that didn’t work. Try harder next time and defeat the workshop director. There will always be a day when you will be in power!

However, if someone reports it, the Security Department will be responsible for the investigation.

The several security departments are basically doing these things, and guarding the gate is just a side job!

In short, the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill does not keep any lazy people!

"Haha, that's pretty much the same as our village and our commune!"

Zhou Jing laughed and said, "It's the same here. I heard that other villages reported us for extravagant eating and drinking. Even I was reported. They said that since I was paid so little and could smoke good cigarettes, I must have embezzled the warehouse supplies!"

Chen Jianjun smiled and said, "It's like that all the time. We receive hundreds of letters reporting on the factory director and deputy director every year."

For a large company with tens of thousands of employees, a few hundred emails a year is not a lot!

"Then what?" Zhou Jing was very curious. The commune would usually just take a look at this kind of letter of complaint. If there was no actual evidence, they would ignore it. It was almost the same as Xinfangban in later generations!

Of course, some places are even worse than Jinghai City, and I won’t even read a single letter from them.

Only Huang Yao's mother, with her long hair and short knowledge, would be so foolish as to mail the recorder to the post office, causing great hardship to Li Xiang and the others. How could Gao Qiqiang live a good life eating fish later!

It is better to trust other departments than them. Most of the people in this department are spies, and they are afraid that the ignorant and unruly people will complain.

Write the letter and arrive at the door right away!

If you really want to file a complaint, make hundreds of copies and send them to more departments. You will always meet some young people with firm beliefs, or ambitious young people who want to show off their political achievements and work hard to make progress. They will definitely make a big deal out of it!

"Most of them are just hearsay. They don't even leave their names. There are no witnesses, and there is no physical evidence. We have no way to verify it."

Chen Jianjun explained earnestly, "Usually, as long as the argument makes sense, we'll send someone to check it out. Those that are completely confusing and illogical will naturally be filed in the archives."

"You guys have quite a lot to do then." Zhou Jing contrasted, "The commune basically doesn't care. It's pointless to write it down. At most, the director will bring it up and joke about it while we're having dinner."

"That's a warning to you!" Grandpa added.

"Dad, what kind of warning is that? If they really wanted to give a warning, they would have just held a meeting and announced an investigation!" Zhou Jing said disdainfully, "No one took it seriously!"

"Before, many people reported the village leader next door for his nonsense, saying that increasing per-acre yields would cause people to starve to death."

“No one read these letters at the time!”

"It was only last year that the investigation team took it away as evidence for the trial!"

Chen Jianjun asked, "How many were executed?"

Zhou Jing said with great joy, "Most of them were executed. If anyone falsely reports a village where people have starved to death, the person responsible will either be shot or sentenced to life imprisonment!"

"Fortunately, our village firmly disagreed and reported only as much grain as we produced. That fool who got beaten up, what's his name, couldn't do anything to us. Now I heard he's been sent to Northeast China to work in a labor camp growing sorghum!"

Zhou Jing was stunned and said, "Are there still people starving to death on your beach?"

Zhou Jing cursed angrily, "That's right, isn't it ridiculous? It's because those idiots borrowed money to eat and drink lavishly, and when they couldn't pay back the loan, they sold the fish they caught at a low price to make up for the bank's debt."

"Many people only eat one or two cents a day. How can they sustain that?"

"For the sake of his hat, he even disregarded human life!"

"You deserve to be shot!"

Chen Jianjun was speechless for a moment.

People, even the lowest village officials, cannot resist temptation!

Moreover, the lower the level, the less supervision there is on power, and the easier it is to act recklessly!

"Your city is still better. At least they'll read the report, check it, and investigate it." Grandpa sighed, "If the countryside had done the same, those people might not have dared to act recklessly."

Chen Jianjun and Zhou Jing looked at each other and disagreed.

Even if there is a letter of complaint, things will still be as chaotic as before!

As we all know, the reason why the Republic of China was so corrupt was because of the bald man who led the way!

After lunch, the children went out to play.

They are not like other children who wear big fur coats and are not afraid of the cold at all, but they are afraid of being bored!

"no!"

Zhou Qing disagreed: "Everyone go to your room and take a nap."

"We have to go back in the afternoon, I can sleep in the car!" Chen Li said with a pout.

Zhou Qing was stunned.

It’s true!

"I'll take them there. We'll just go for a walk. There's nothing fun to do outside right now. We'll just take a walk and come back."

Chen Feng led them out.

Zhang Haixiong was held by her grandmother's hand and asked how old she was and what was going on at home.

She could only introduce her false identity.

I heard that she is now the section chief, and the old woman’s smile has become even better!

It didn’t snow today, but the beach outside Zhoujiagou was frozen and hard!

The sea ice is very thin, only a few centimeters thick, and in the sunlight, it reflects light.

Chen Li happily dug stones and threw them into the sea. She was very happy when she saw the ice being broken.

It's almost a little while, but the beach is still very cold.

Only a few people came out to fish, the rest stayed at home.

The seaside is still better than the land. At least there is enough fish and meat reserves for a year, so you don’t have to shave ice and fish in the middle of winter to get some meat for your family.

"Puff puff!"

In the distance, a huge object suddenly rushed out of the sea and sprayed out a fountain.

"What a big fish!"

Chen Li stared at the whale in the distance with wide eyes.

Chen Feng looked over in confusion and felt that it looked familiar, but it was much larger!

"Uh-huh--"

The sound of a whale is a bit like that of a baby, and it can be heard from thousands of meters away.

The huge body leaped out of the water and kept calling out to Chen Feng and others on the shore.

"It's really you!" Chen Feng couldn't help laughing. A whale calf can gain about 100-200 kilograms a day, and the total weight gain during lactation can reach several tons.

However, this guy was safe and sound and was not caught by the large fishing boats nearby, so he was lucky.

It's the devil instead!

Ahaha, I won’t survive more than three days!

"Go to the East China Sea, idiot! This is human territory!"

Chen Feng waved his hand and told it to go away!

Just because you haven’t been caught now doesn’t mean you won’t be caught in the future.

The whole body of a whale is a treasure!

Fishermen don’t have tools, but the navy does!

However, it is hard to know whether the navy will take action. Not every military port base can let these large marine creatures go.

Chen Feng waved his hand, which obviously made the whale happy!

It suddenly dived into the water, and Chen Li looked at the sea surface in disappointment.

"Cauldron, it's gone?"

"It should have left. Big brother told it to go, and it has to listen to big brother!" Chen Hao was mysteriously confident.

The two cousins looked at the sea curiously.

In the eyes of fishermen, these super-large fish are messengers of the Dragon King and cannot be killed (in fact, it is because there are no large ships and tools, killing them will only lead to dangerous capsizing accidents, and the meat is not tasty, so ancient fishermen passed down various myths to prevent some foolish people from killing them in vain).

"Wow!"

"It's still there!" Chen Li shouted in surprise.

It came out again, and this time swam forward a distance.

Chen Feng was afraid that it would wash up on the beach and run aground.

Immediately take the children away from the beach and put an end to its thoughts.

Seeing Chen Feng leave, the whale happily dived into the water again and swam towards the open sea.

Just when Chen Feng and others were returning to the village, a large naval patrol boat broke through the ice. The ice, which was several centimeters thick, did not affect the performance of the ship.

It won’t work if it’s any thicker!

"Captain, it's that big guy again!" Xu Aijun, who had met Chen Feng once before, was looking at the big whale playing on the sea with a telescope.

Xu Guohua smiled and said, "This is a good thing!"

"Tell other fishing villages not to harm this whale. Whale meat is not tasty. Instead of wasting time, it's better to catch more Spanish mackerel and razorfish."

He was also afraid that fishermen would act recklessly and think that whales were too big and would want to kill them!

There are warships in the naval port, and the warships are equipped with large-caliber naval guns that can kill a whale with one shot.

However, as an old fisherman, he also believed that whales were the pets of the Dragon King and was unwilling to harm whales. He would rather expel them after discovering them.

This is his secret.

No one knew that Colonel Xu was actually the son of Prince Xinlong!

"Then Dad, do we still need to chase them and drive them away?" Xu Aijun asked.

There's no way, this thing is too big!

It thought it was playing and frolicking, but it ended up capsizing the fishing boat.

"Forget it. It's winter now and there are no boats on the sea. Let's just leave it here for a while."

Xu Guohua thought for a moment and said.

Because of the ice, all cargo ships have stopped transporting!

"I don't think this whale comes here to spend the winter. It keeps coming here, calling and breaking out of the water, as if it's looking for someone. Several times before, it just floated away, but this time it's so happy. Look, it's jumped out again. It must have seen someone on the shore."

Xu Guohua was stunned and couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the shore.

"This is Zhoujiagou, right?"

"Um!'
