Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

He can handle anyone, but he can't handle his own brother-in-law.

Over the years, how has my brother-in-law treated my sister and their family? Let alone his own family.

Everyone in the village can see it; even if they don't say it, they're all incredibly envious.

This business deal was arranged entirely by his brother-in-law, who also found someone to protect him throughout the trip.

Without that 'special approval' slip, without Ma Kun following him, and without Brother Huo from the deep ground helping to source the goods, he wouldn't be able to make a penny.

Not to mention, the initial investment was all provided by my brother-in-law...

Li Aimin wasn't some ungrateful fool; he knew his brother-in-law was doing it for his own good.

In other words, the brother-in-law truly loves his older sister and treats him like a brother.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't bother telling you these unpleasant but honest pieces of advice.

Just praise me as much as you want, since no one has lost anything, why say things that will annoy people?

"Well, it's good that you're listening." Seeing his serious expression, Yang Jianguo nodded with satisfaction, realizing he had truly taken it to heart.

They also acknowledged that Li Aimin was a reliable and capable person, and that they could entrust him with the tasks that followed.

As for safety issues, Yang Jianguo also raised them with the higher-ups.

In a few days, another person will come to cooperate with Ma Kun to escort Li Aimin back and forth between the two countries.

It's too early to talk about airplanes and cannons now.

Let's start by looking at the basics; Russia's heavy industry is truly top-notch!

Even if it's just the basics, bringing them back would be a good thing for the country and its people.

A towering building rises from the ground; without a good foundation, no matter how high or fast it is built, it is just a mirage with rotten inside.

It was blown away by a gust of wind.

We need to lay a solid foundation.

Just as Yang Jianguo remembers, towering skyscrapers rose from the ground, soaring into the sky and shocking the world.

"Blueprints? Technology? No problem, bro, leave it to me."

After listening to Yang Jianguo's explanation of Dongxi, Li Aimin thumped his chest loudly.

Previously, some people had offered to trade the Dongxi he possessed for food.

When asked for a bag of potatoes, Li Aimin was worried that there might be a scam and didn't dare to accept it.

Now that my brother-in-law has said so, he definitely won't do it again.

If we run into it again next time, let Brother Kun investigate. If it's pretty much a done deal, we'll replace it.

The Mao family is really suffering. I don't know how the eldest brother is doing. It seems like he's going downhill the more he tries to make ends meet.

On his next trip, Li Aimin planned to bring more food, as well as down jackets and large shoes lined with fur.

Don't underestimate these unassuming items; they sell really well at Da Mao's place.

"When we announced that this down jacket was worn by athletes who climbed Mount Everest, people went crazy."

Li Aimin stood up, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his right arm, and turned his head to say, "Just like that, they stuffed the money into my hand, as if they were afraid that if I was too slow, I wouldn't be able to buy anything."

“I sell each item for over two hundred yuan. The price I get makes my liver tremble, but people buy them without hesitation.”

"Damn it, this big brother is really rich, he's got money to burn."

Yang Jianguo smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was filled with emotion, thinking, 'He has money to burn; how could he not have money after saving for so many years?'

Li Aimin's actions are nothing compared to what he would do if he dared to take even more risks.

Don't go this way. Go to the Far East and get two pool tables, 50 yuan each.

That's what you call getting something for nothing; the money comes in faster than printing it.

If you want to bring the money back, nine out of ten will get stuck halfway.

You might earn the money, but not live to spend it!

Chapter 352 The Car, Yang Jinyu

Whether the public ownership system of the Mao family is good or bad, right or wrong, is none of our business.

Poor and lower-middle peasants worry about whether the landlords are eating well, whether they have enough, and whether their family fortune will be ruined.

He must have some serious illness to be so foolish.

When the family split up, some people took advantage of the situation and interfered.

Yang Jianguo had nothing to feel guilty about; he would just take better care of Er Mao from now on.

Even if he doesn't take action then, plenty of others will.

Although we've had a falling out with Da Mao, we're still comrades in the same trench when it comes to the bigger picture.

In any case, it's better than letting the Western class enemies benefit.

Three days later, the people sent by the top leader arrived.

He was tall and big, with long arms. When he saluted, his hands were so close to his knees that they almost touched the outside of his thighs.

Its five fingers, when spread out, resemble a large, thick palm-leaf fan.

That slap would make even the toughest man cry.

"Instructor?" Ma Kun was dumbfounded. What was the instructor doing here?

"Little Ma, you haven't fallen behind in your kung fu, have you?" As soon as the fan-wielding man spoke, Ma Kunren stood up straight.

With his feet together, hands pressed tightly against the outside of his thighs, he raised his head and puffed out his chest, saying, "Instructor, I didn't fall behind."

"Really? Let's practice sometime later." Before the fan-wielder could finish speaking, Ma Kun's face fell.

To fight him would be nothing short of one-sided torture!

But he couldn't refuse, or he would be 'timid and guilty', and then it wouldn't be just a casual encounter with him anymore.

A brutal beating won't get you anywhere; you'll die.

The two got to know each other without Yang Jianguo having to introduce them. After arranging a time to meet Aimin, he left first.

The apprentice and master haven't seen each other for a long time, what is he meddling in here for?

The next day in the courtyard, Yang Jianguo introduced the fan-wielding man to Li Aimin, saying, "Master, I'll be working with you two from now on."

Master chef, that's the title of the fan-wielder.

As for his real name, the master chef said he had forgotten it.

Presumably it was inconvenient to disclose, as people in the underworld are bound to have their own grudges and affections, and Yang Jianguo had no interest in digging into the details.

"Master chef, please be lenient and take care of me in the future," Li Aimin greeted him politely.

Before he came, his brother-in-law mentioned on the phone that this person was sent by his superiors to be specifically responsible for his safety.

Then look at this person's body, and that hand is bigger than his own head.

Li Aimin felt as if a big slap would make his head spin three times before it rolled off the ground.

After introducing the people, Yang Jianguo let them make their own arrangements and also sent a letter to Shao Dong.

The factory has good equipment and technology, and the experienced workers learn very quickly. We guarantee that the task can be completed in three months.

With Xiang Shaodong's assurance, Yang Jianguo felt completely at ease.

His previous efforts are finally about to bear fruit.

However, Loongson also needs to hurry.

If Louji Electric in Jiangdao wants to grow bigger and stronger, then Loongson Technology should be even bigger and stronger.

It's not about competing with Loujidian, but about proving that Loongson has found its own path.

No longer following in Louji Electric's footsteps and copying others' ideas.

Achieving this is a long and arduous task!

Since being transferred to the Ministry of Works, Yang Jianguo seems to be doing things haphazardly and incoherently.

In reality, they are all laying the foundation for the future.

When the building was being constructed, I saw it rising higher and higher, floor by floor.

Wow, amazing, beautiful!

But nobody seems to think about when the foundation was laid, or how solid it must be to support such a tall building.

It's like people can only see the glamour on stage, but they can't see how many people support that glamour from behind the scenes.

In early May, Li Aimin left again.

This time he didn't go to the deep south; the goods were shipped directly.

After receiving the goods here, we boarded a special train that passed through Manzhouli and headed straight for the Russians.

Unlike last time, the note in Li Aimin's hand has become an ID card, and there are now two people beside him instead of one.

The master chef placed his hands on his thighs.

People coming from the south and going from the north would take a second look, feeling a sense of dread.

The calluses on them look like a hard shell; they're probably impenetrable even to knives and spears.

With the master chef's expertise as a guarantee, Li Aimin felt much more at ease, and his family felt more at ease as well.

Upon returning home, Li Aimin confronted his family about the truth.

Although he almost got hit by his dad's shoe, at least things were cleared up and he could do it openly and honestly.

As for his father's concerns, Li Aimin understood them and didn't say anything boastful to him.

In short, it all boils down to this: "Dad, times have changed."

As a trendsetter at the forefront of the times, Li Aimin has boarded the train of the times.

They left with great fanfare, and in just half a year, their household was completely transformed, from a small arsenal to a large arsenal.

I'm currently looking for a place to get a car.

It's not that we don't have the money; it's just that that stuff is now only available for public use.

Private sources say they can buy, but production can't keep up. They have orders from both sides, but can they tell whether to give them to the government or to private entities?

Those who can see things clearly, and those who can't, have all gone home to grow vegetables.

So, after all that effort, Li Aimin still couldn't find a single wheel.

He didn't ask his brother-in-law for help with this. Firstly, it would be shameful to ask his brother-in-law for everything; that would be disgraceful.

If it were him, and someone came to him for a kiss every few days, he would give them a second glance.

Secondly, he knew that his brother-in-law would definitely not support his idea.

Yang Jianguo is a down-to-earth, steady, and low-key person.

He's been a leader for a while now, and he hasn't even accepted the company car he was offered. He just rides his own old-fashioned bicycle every day.

Would he agree to let Li Aimin buy a car in his private name?

But the news still reached Yang Jianguo's ears.

For no other reason than that he had many eyes and ears and was well-informed in Beijing.

Having come this far, I dare not say anything else.

Within their own system, supply and marketing cooperatives, police stations, and related units.

Yang Jianguo has won over a large number of people, and it's not fair to say that every single one of them is counting on him.

They might exchange messages from time to time, maintain social connections, and certainly have the intention to build good relationships.

And sure enough, the person Li Aimin found happened to know him.

When people learned that he wanted to resell a car in his own name, they felt that this was too high-profile.

Thinking about how close Yang Jianguo was to his maternal family, she picked up the phone and told him, "I happened to run into Aimin... He said he wanted to buy a car. That kid's doing pretty well these days!"
