Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang
Chapter 861: Who are those officials?
Dabao raised his head, his mind torn between his conscience and his desires. His own space and land could easily feed the entire nation, but how could he get the food without arousing suspicion?
Dabao didn't want to bring disaster to his family because of his chastity.
The old man's face turned serious and he said in a low voice,
"Dabao, I know you have some abilities that others don't have that can solve these problems, so you're in so much pain. But let me tell you, there are so many extraordinary people in this world, why didn't anyone stand up to save the people in the most dangerous times?
That’s because…” The old man’s voice became stern: “None of those who came out to save the people had a good ending! Because no matter who is in power, they will not allow others to threaten their status and life.
It can be said that half of those who were executed along with their entire clans in history were executed along with their entire clans on various charges because there were extraordinary people in their families.
Why do you have to kill all nine generations of your clan? It's to prevent your bloodline from continuing and threatening the position of those in power.
So Dabao, put away your sympathy. If you still want your family to survive, keep this in mind. Got it?"
Dabao was shocked. The old man's words hit his heart like a morning bell and an evening drum, making him sober up instantly. God let him be reborn not to bring him world peace, but to save his family's miserable life.
At this time, Niuniu ran down from the second floor and saw her brother jumping into his arms. Dabao hugged Niuniu and his eyes gradually became firm. The old man saw it and smiled with satisfaction.
"Oh, Dabao, there's one more thing. I have to go to the conference group tomorrow. I have to wait until after National Day to come out. But tomorrow is your grandfather Wang Weijian's 66th birthday.
Your uncle is also going to the meeting group of the ministry this time, so you have to go to this birthday celebration."
Dabao readily agreed.
"Grandpa Wang Weijian? Is he the retired deputy director of the General Armament Department?"
The old man nodded,
"I heard that old man is still quite superstitious and likes jade statues of Guanyin. Go find him a good one and give it to him. Tell him I'll visit him after the festival."
Dabao asked in surprise,
"Don't the authorities forbid the promotion of feudal superstition? He still believes in Buddhism? This old man is smoking a cigarette!"
The old man laughed out loud.
"Silly child, only those who truly believe in superstition are forbidden to promote feudal superstition. If everyone believes in superstition, who will believe in them?"
Dabao also laughed. After all, he wasn't an official. How could he have forgotten who, in later generations, lit the first incense stick at those prestigious temples on the first day of the new year? Crying thief, pretending to be a whore and building a memorial archway—aren't those people the best at it?
Think about it now. It has only been ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Those people who used to eat grass roots and wear straw sandals now abandon their wives and children, marry young wives, live in villas, and care about status and enjoyment. There are many such people. They always think that the country owes them and always feel wronged, but they don't think about it. Without the country, what are they?
Li Zicheng's rebellion swept across the country. Once he entered the capital, his men behaved in a disgraceful manner, looking like villains who had achieved success. Without them, foreign invaders would not have been able to invade for another hundred years.
History is fair and will not let these clowns be complacent for long! When the big storm comes, everything will be smashed to pieces. By then, husbands and wives will turn against each other, brothers will quarrel, and they will expose each other. The root of all this is greed.
"Dabao..."
"elder brother!"
The shouts of the old man and Niuniu brought Dabao back to reality. He smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go to Liulichang right away to find a good jade Guanyin."
Dabao carried Niuniu upstairs. Grandpa Lu looked at his grandson's back and frowned. This child was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. He seemed very kind on the surface, but he was extremely stubborn when encountering problems.
As the saying goes, the stronger the stronger, the easier it is to break. It seems that I have to pay more attention to my grandson in the future. When necessary, I have to show my fangs and let others see how powerful I am.
The old man walked to the table where the phone was placed and picked up the confidential phone.
"Hey, take me to the 40th Army Headquarters... Liye, I've thought about it. Your health has improved a lot now. I suggest you don't give up your position as the commander of the 1st Division.
As for the deputy commander, I think you should stop holding the position concurrently; an empty title is meaningless."
Lu Liye's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I understand, Dad. I won't be attending the National Day parade this time. After I finish typing the report, I'll go back to the division headquarters immediately. When you return to Fengtian, I'll bring Wenwen to see you."
The old man said quietly,
"Liye, our family will have to rely on you to protect us from now on. If you, the division commander, are not here, I'm afraid your eldest brother and Dabao will be in big trouble!"
Lu Liye raised his brows and said fiercely,
"Dad, don't worry, I will firmly control the First Division. Whoever wants to touch our Lu family will have to test their teeth!"
The old man nodded,
"You have to take care of yourself. Remember to take the tonic Dabao gave you and the medicine your mother prescribed for you. Also, take good care of my granddaughter. If I see Wenwen lose weight, I will not let you go!"
When Lu Liye heard his father swear, he knew that his father was extremely serious, and he quickly said,
"Don't worry, Dad. Wenwen is my apple of the eye. She's almost gone. She's grown a lot these past few days, and her studies are very tight. I'll send her back to the capital after the winter break. She's been missing her brother even in her dreams."
The old man hummed in satisfaction and hung up the phone.
……
Dabao didn't go to Liulichang, but went directly to Xiaoerduo's house in Tianqiao. The two of them got a braised lamb head and two pounds of Shaodaozi, and sat in the yard to drink with relish. Lian Hu held a Hu pancake as big as a human head in one hand, which was filled with braised lamb head meat. This is a good thing now, and it is rare. If Xiaoerduo hadn't run a black market, this good thing would never be available.
Xiao Erduo picked up the wedding wine pot and poured a cup of wine for Dabao. He smiled and said,
"What's up, brother? How come you have the time to come to my place today?"
Dabao picked up the wine glass with both hands, clinked it with Xiao Erduo's, and then drank it all in one gulp. This liquor was really pure. He felt a line of fire flowing down his throat and directly into his stomach. His internal organs suddenly started to burn.
Dabao smacked his lips, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and exclaimed, "Good wine!"
When Xiao Erduo heard this, he smiled and broke open the braised sheep's head. He took out a piece of greasy sheep's brain and handed it to Dabao.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on, this is good stuff,"
Dabao was not polite and took the sheep brain and put it into his mouth. It was indeed delicious.
"Brother, you never come to me. If you do, there must be something wrong! Tell me! No matter what it is, we will do it if we can do it, and we will find a way to do it if we can't do it! Just tell me..."
