I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"After Chen Xueru's incident, people in the city once again began donating a large amount of money to host the Olympics. The donations from people in our compound basically exceeded 13 billion.

Our mother, Yourong and I donated 1.5 billion. Our mother donated 1 billion alone, Yourong donated 200 million, and I donated 300 million.

Jiajia, Yushui, Xu Damao and the others each received 2 billion, Liang Ladi and Qin Huairu received dividends, 500 million each, and those who did not receive dividends received between 100 million and 10 million.

"It's useless to keep the money, so it's good to donate more to build the city. No one dares to spend money recklessly."

"2008 is almost here, and there are still seven years to go by. By then, we will be able to watch a grand international sporting event at our doorstep.

You should buy more tickets when the time comes. In 2008, the children will be older. Ningning and Jingjing are already college students. They can watch the Olympics together in Beijing.

Time flies. It’s almost our 40th wedding anniversary. We now have five granddaughters and grandsons. If I had given birth to another child, we would have four children.

Now there will be more grandchildren." Song Xianxian is very confident about giving birth to two children at once.

"Don't think too much. Everything is fine now. Yangyang and Tingting have nine children. We can see their children. Let them have more." Cao Dongfang comforted.

"I'm afraid they won't have children. Yu Li's son is a doctor and he's almost 30 years old and still hasn't found a partner. Yu Li is very worried now. Qin Jingru's son also has this tendency.

Only Liu Guangqi's son is better. He doesn't want to have a second son. I guess all young people in the future will be like this." Song Xianxian's feeling is correct.

"You don't have to worry. Our grandchildren are different from others. A grandmaster should have more children." Cao Dongfang began to talk nonsense.

"Madam, grandpa, what is it like when grandma gives birth to a baby?" asked Jia Jia who was playing with Cao's mother.

"You were born by your mother. After your mother and your father got married, your two older brothers were born first..." Mom was answering Jia Jia's question.

"Madam, what is marriage?" Children have many questions.

“It’s the law if a man and a woman are going to live together…”

"Madam, what is the law?" Children have a lot of questions.

"The law is..." Mom answered Jia Jia carefully without any impatience.

"Madam, I understand." Jia Jia was very quiet. She sat on the chair playing with her mother and listening to her mother answer her questions.

A three-year-old child has a very similar personality to his mother, except when it comes to eating.

After more than a year of massage by Cao Dongfang, her physical fitness is the best among her three grandchildren of the same age.

But she never plays crazily. Most of the time she just stays with her mother. She is the first child who doesn't cling to Cao Dongfang. Her mother treats her like her own grandchild.

The purpose of hiring a nanny was to look after her, but it is basically unnecessary. My mother doesn't go out, and she can sit on a small stool and read comic books or play by herself.

The nanny mainly does housework. After the Chinese New Year, when Kuang Yourong went to work, she helped take care of the two younger children.

.......

"This time, the donations from Taiwan and other cities for hosting the Olympics have reached NT$300 billion, which makes me want to donate again." Ma Hua said with a smile at the gathering of four people.

"300 billion is enough for Beijing to host the Olympics and improve the city's appearance. You don't need to donate more, as if you have a lot of money."

"Old Fangzi, I still have a lot of small money. At least it won't be a problem for me to donate 10 billion yuan eight times or ten times. You must be envious, Old Fangzi."

MCA directly promoted Lu Fang two levels, from Junior Fangzi to Old Fangzi, and Lu Fang was helpless.

"Lao Fangzi, we have some money now. Dongfang only asks the three of us for 1 trillion a year, so we can basically keep 70 to 80 billion.

It has been more than three years, and Ma Hua still has some money in his hands. Dongfang, it seems that Hou Kui is very powerful now.

Being the richest man for three consecutive years makes me very envious. I want to find a way to become the richest man myself. "Ma Kangri is very persistent in becoming the richest man.

"It's almost there. Your 'Daqin Online Shopping' was launched last year. If you develop it for three years, you will also gain something. Mahua's bearing factory and precision manufacturing, as well as drones are not bad either.

You don’t need to keep an eye on others. Just do your own thing and it’s not difficult to make 500 billion yuan in net income a year.”

"That's fine too. If all my companies are listed, I'll be a trillionaire. That's awesome!" Ma Kangri felt good about himself.

“You’d better stop dreaming. It’s impossible for all your companies to be listed. Some companies will never be listed. I understand that.

Dongfang, you guys take that place back, there won’t be any major damage, right?” Lu Fang was very clear about some things.

"No, the integrity is over 90%, and there is no major urban warfare."

"Dongfang, you can go down in history for just this one thing. I admire you very much, brother."

“It should be done.”

"You are still modest. How is the truce going there?"

“It’s still the same now, and it won’t be possible to achieve anything great in a short time, it hasn’t gotten any better.

It is estimated that the reconstruction work will be resumed within the next few months, but it will be a little difficult.

"I hope they rebuild more slowly. I can still make tens of billions every year there. This money comes quickly," said Ma Hua, who likes the smuggling trade.

"Do you make a lot of money there?" Lu Fang didn't know.

"The key to a net income of 30 to 40 billion per year is low cost. My cost is at most 3 billion. A 10-fold profit is a good business."

The key is that I prepare the materials and Dongfang does everything. Mu Ren is making money without doing anything. I like it. "Ma Hua smiled.

"It seems like you are good at making money by lying in bed. Dongfang, are you really planning to retire in 2003?" asked Lu Fang.

"Who said that? It's so true. If nothing unexpected happens, I do plan to retire in March 2003." Cao Dongfang did not hide anything.

"We all know that you want to retire after serving as minister for 30 years, but I don't think your chances are great. You'd better serve for 50 years."

"Who said that? He deserves a beating. There's nothing serious happening right now, so it's not good to keep staring at me all the time." Cao Dongfang had long thought about the difficulties he would have in retiring.

"I don't know who said it, but you should be prepared to work for at least another 20 years." Lu Fang said with a smile.

"I've thought about the possibility of not being able to retire, but it's no problem. I just want to spend more time with my family. I can work for another 200 years." Cao Dongfang is mentally prepared.

"I really envy you for being able to live. Apart from that thing, other people really can't compare to you. After I die, bring a few bottles of wine to see me every year." Ma Kangri envied Cao Dongfang's longevity.

"Anti-Japanese, can you tell me what 'that thing' is?" Cao Dongfang asked quietly.

"This is not important. Remember to bring a few more bottles of good wine to see me." Ma Kangri avoided the main point.

"Why don't we drink more now? Why wait until later? There's no point in drinking when no one is around."

"I won't drink with you." Ma Kangri's attitude was very firm.

........

In the three consecutive months of October, November and December, Xie Shu, Wang Shu and Bao Shu died one after another.

The three people, aged between eighty-three and eighty-nine, reached old age. Fortunately, they died of old age without any serious illness or suffering from any pain.

It is hard to say whether Guan Shu and the other three are sad because of Bao Shu's death. They have been fighting together since they were seventeen or eighteen years old. It would be false if they were not sad about their friendship of almost seventy years.

Uncle Guan and Uncle Yu were about the same age as Uncle Bao, and they had aged a lot. Their eyes had become cloudy, and they looked very old.

It's a pity that he won't be alive for too long.

Not only them, in January of 2002, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai passed away within a week.

They were all satisfied with their lives and left the world with a smile on their faces.

An aunt who had left Yi Zhonghai long ago went to Baozi City and adopted a child. She passed away in 1994, having lived ten years longer. The adopted child was very filial and she lived a good life in her later years.

It's just that I have less money, and I don't know whether it is good or bad to leave the Siheyuan.

The person is no longer here, so it seems meaningless to say these things
