To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

In September of 1946, Li Wenting returned to China. This time, Li Wenting only told Li Fugui that he wanted to go out and buy some property to leave to his descendants. Li Fugui then told Li Wenting to buy more land, which was the fundamental thing.

Li Wenting went out quietly this time, stuffed some money into the Blue Party, and quietly went to Hong Kong first. He got a new identity in the name of Li Wenting, and then went to the Eagle Sauce.

Li Wenting is now extremely careful. In order to avoid being unable to explain himself in the future, it would be best if he could leave no record of leaving the country.

Li Wenting actually bought several plots of land in Hong Kong. He showed the land deeds to Li Fugui, and Li Fugui's eyes lit up.

Li Fugui said, "Wenting is becoming more and more reliable in his work, and this matter has been handled steadily."

Li Fugui asked Liu Guilan to go to a Shandong restaurant and order some local dishes so that she and her son could have a drink together in the evening.

Feng Aizhen is now mainly teaching her son at home. She can hardly do her job at school because the salary she is paid is not even enough to buy a bag of noodles.

Feng Aizhen knew that her family didn't need this, so she simply quit her job to stay at home to take care of the children and help run the family business.

The Li family's business is just enough to cover their expenses now, so they can't save any money. The money they earn has to be spent immediately. If you want to exchange it for dollars or knives, that's impossible. It's most cost-effective to spend it at a fixed price on the same day.

100 French francs could buy two eggs in the first half of the year, but only one egg in the second half.

Li Fugui's business was exhausting, and he couldn't even save any money. Fortunately, gold and silver were hard currencies. No one in China used fiat currency for large-scale transactions these days; they were all settled in dollars and gold bars.

The battle between the red and blue parties has reached a fever pitch, and with the blue party's boasting, it seems that they are about to dominate the world.

The Magic City is still full of decadent music, and Li Wenting has already decided where to settle down.

Li Wenting and Li Fugui discussed: "There is no war in Dahei Province anymore. The Red Party has taken root there. The black soil can produce oil if you grab a handful. Aizhen and I will find some work there and you and my mother will stay at home to look after the children. The houses there are not expensive. You can buy a house with a yard of two acres of land. You can plant whatever you want. Do you like it?"

Li Fugui's eyes lit up, "Wenting, can you buy more land? Just a few hundred acres will do. Land is the foundation"!

Li Wenting felt like he was about to break apart. His father's obsession with the land was engraved in his bones, so he broke it apart and explained the Red Party's policies and land reform to Li Fugui.

Li Fugui was unhappy for two days, wavering between going to Heilongjiang and Hong Kong. It was Liu Guilan who made the final decision: don't make Wen Ting feel awkward. Let's just draw lots and see whichever way fate takes us.

Li Fugui agreed with this idea and asked his grandson to draw lots. As a result, his grandson drew the lot for Heilongjiang Province.

There is nothing much to say. Li Fugui started selling his house. It happened that the house prices in Shanghai were rising at the end of the year, so the Li family sold their house for a good price of twelve thousand dollars.

The Li family moved quickly and bought train tickets to Heilongjiang Province. Along the way, they saw the rare tranquility before the war.

Li Wenting bought a second-class carriage with a sleeper berth in a room with four berths on two levels, bedding, and an electric fan. Of course, the price was twice as much as the hard seat.

After rattling along the way, Li Wenting and his family arrived at Ice City. At that time, Ice City was no worse than Shanghai. Central Street and Gogol Street were full of small Western-style buildings. 21 countries had consulates in Ice City. It was an international metropolis that was not inferior to Shanghai at that time.

Li Fugui immediately fell in love with the climate of the Ice City. In Shanghai, the autumn heat is still very fierce, humid and hot, making it almost breathless, while the autumn in the Ice City is cool and the air is dry.

Li Fugui: "No wonder they say black soil can nourish people, this climate is just right for me."

Liu Guilan, "I also think this place is no worse than my hometown."

Feng Aizhen, who had been baptized by the fiery Jinling, felt even more comfortable. The children also thought this place was cool and had plenty of food.

The Li family of five took a rickshaw to the Liangyou Hotel on Gogol Street. The daily accommodation fee was 10,000 yuan in Northeast China currency notes (the term 10,000 yuan in currency notes here was likely equivalent to one yuan in the future).

Li Wenting quickly bought a house near the Normal University near Dazhi Street in Nangang. At that time, the university was far smaller than it is today. The house that Li Wenting liked was very close to the surrounding rural areas and had a large yard of more than one acre.

There are five Russian-style brick and tile houses. This is the courtyard where a Russian railway engineer lived. The engineer was going back to his country, so he sold the houses and bought them for five hundred dollars.

In this way, Li Wenting settled down in Bingcheng.

Now that Bingcheng had just been liberated, talents were needed everywhere. Li Wenting quickly found an editor job in a magazine, and Feng Aizhen also applied for a job as a primary school teacher.

Little Li Zhengxing also went to the primary school where Feng Aizhen taught, and was assigned to the same class as Feng Aizhen.

Li Fugui and Liu Guilan pulled out all the flowers and plants planted by Maozi in the yard. In Li Fugui's words, they were not worth eating or drinking. We farmers don't have the luxury of doing that!

Li Fugui and Liu Guilan, who can't sit still, grow vegetables at home and sell the leftovers in the market.

Li Wenting began to live a low-key life. He would read books and write articles to celebrate his new life. In his spare time, he would go fishing and spend time with his parents growing vegetables. His life was quite comfortable.

Li Fugui and Liu Guilan were in good health, and Li Wenting had already used genetic modification fluid on the entire family. Feng Aizhen became pregnant again while their son was in junior high school. Li Wenting felt he was unlucky with a daughter, and his wife gave birth to another boy. Li Fugui named him Li Zhengwen, following the family tree.

Li Fugui and Liu Guilan were quite happy. With two grandsons in the next generation, the family finally grew a little.

The Li family has long adapted to the climate and diet of the Ice City. There are many delicious foods in the vast Heilongjiang Province. Various berries, black truffles, caviar, matsutake mushrooms, and foie gras, which are highly recommended by tire shops, are really common in Heilongjiang Province.

Heilongjiang Province currently has no wildlife protection law. Roe deer are beaten with sticks, fish are scooped up with ladles, and pheasants fly into the rice pot. The rice is crystal clear, soft, chewy, and fragrant, but Feng Aizhen, a Jiangnan girl who grew up eating rice, no longer likes it.

Li Wenting stayed in Bingcheng until it opened up, and then returned to his hometown with his parents, wife and children.

Li Fugui couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as he watched the courtyard of his former home become the village office. His long-cherished hometown had returned, but it was only a return; everything was different.

Li Wenting spent money to buy back the village office house and renovated it. As a wish of returning to their hometown, the old couple would live there for one or two months every year and chat with the elderly in the village.

Li Wenting's investment in Eagle Sauce Hong Kong paid off handsomely, turning it into a large group company, with revenues increasing from $20 million to billions.

Li Wenting lived to be over ninety in this world, and after seeing off his parents and his wife, Feng Aizhen, he passed away. Li Zhengxing and Li Zhengwen, now big-name CEOs, wept bitterly with their children and grandchildren. (Should the next story be about palace fighting or confiscation of property? Any suggestions?)
