Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Let's go in quickly, the cook has already prepared the meal."

Han Xi took Yingzi's arm and said happily, "Can I call you Sister Yingzi?"

Yingzi gave her a gentle smile and said, "Given your age, it would be more appropriate for you to call me 'Auntie'."

Han Xi pouted and said coquettishly, "Wouldn't that make you sound old? It's better to call you 'sister'."

She mischievously pulled him inside, not giving him a chance to speak.

Yingzi turned around and gave Yang Jianguo a sideways laugh, clearly saying, "Look what you've done."

Yingzi understood this little girl's thoughts the moment she met her.

A man being too charming can sometimes be quite annoying.

Yang Jianguo just smiled and followed, while Xiao Duan carried the gifts and walked inside.

When visiting a Taoist's home, it's customary to bring something with you.

Two swimming pools (soft), two bottles of Moutai, and two gift boxes of southern specialty snacks.

It wasn't an ordinary gift, but it didn't seem particularly valuable when placed between them.

It's neither abrupt nor impolite, just right!

Upon entering, I was greeted by an elderly man with white hair standing in the entryway of the living room.

Yang Jianguo took two steps forward and took the initiative to reach out and shake the other person's hands: "Old Chief, I have long admired you!"

"Haha, I'm just an ordinary old man now, nothing to worry about."

"But I've heard your name, Comrade Yang Jianguo, so many times it's calloused, ah, hahaha..."

The old leader laughed heartily and led him to the living room. After they sat down, tea was served.

"Drink tea."

At the entrance, Han Xi had someone take the gifts that Xiao Duan was carrying and then led him to a side hall to rest.

He then took Yingzi's arm and said he would show her around the house.

Old Han has devoted a lot of time and effort to taking care of the garden behind this two-story building since he retired.

The women went to the backyard to admire the flowers and chat, while Yang Jianguo and Old Han probed each other in the living room.

They could easily recount each other's achievements and honors, and they would boast about them endlessly.

'This kid, how come he can brag even more than me?'

After more than 20 minutes, Old Han couldn't continue, exclaiming with a sigh, "These young people nowadays are really damn amazing."

"Jianguo, the main reason I invited you here is for the sake of this girl, Xixi."

Old Han got straight to the point, using his beloved granddaughter as a shield.

He summoned Yang Jianguo not for Han Xi, but for Han Xi's sake.

Upon learning that Yang Jianguo knew his granddaughter lived in Courtyard No. 2, Old Han worried that he might misunderstand.

Don't let this affect your granddaughter's job and cause a bad impact.

Secondly, Mr. Han also wanted to hear his views on the current situation.

I'd like to know what kind of person Yang Jianguo really is.

There are countless rumors and stories about him.

But Old Han only ever believed 3% of what those words said.

For the remaining 7 points, I'll just pretend I've never heard of them...

To understand someone and make a judgment, you have to interact with them personally.

Only then can one say that they have 'some understanding' and have the right to speak.

Speaking carelessly is unacceptable!

"Although Comrade Han Xi is young, he lacks work experience."

Yang Jianguo paused slightly and said, "But his work attitude is very good, which is what I appreciate most."

"Which new employee doesn't make mistakes? The key is whether they can learn from their mistakes and whether they have the confidence to actively correct them and improve."

"Han Xi did a great job. No wonder he was taught by the old commander."

Yang Jianguo casually offered a compliment, also specifically mentioning Han Xi's performance at work.

Lack of experience, making mistakes, but with the right attitude.

"Xi Xi is a very outstanding child."

"It's because we've been too protective of her, always rushing to solve her problems, that she's lacked experience."

Old Han doted on this granddaughter.

For someone to keep him by their side all the time, they must really like him.

Yang Jianguo smiled but didn't reply.

Old Han pondered for a moment and said, "Jianguo, you are in charge of the reform work. What are your thoughts on the current progress and policies of the reform?"

Seeing that he had finally gotten to the point, Yang Jianguo decided to speak freely with him.

The two of them couldn't stop talking until Han Xi was starving.

The kitchen staff asked her twice, saying that if the food was heated any further, it really wouldn't be edible.

Han Xi had no choice but to interrupt their conversation, "Grandpa, sir, shall we eat first and talk while we eat?"

Han Xi sat down next to her grandfather in a coquettish manner, shaking his arm and saying, "The dishes have all been heated up once, the chef wouldn't dare serve them to you if they were any hotter."

"Haha, you little rascal~" Old Han, whose conversation had been interrupted, burst into hearty laughter after being coaxed by her two words.

Looking at Yang Jianguo, Old Han stood up and raised his hand, saying, "Then let's take our seats first, don't make things difficult for my cook."

"Then I'll try the chef's cooking here, it's so delicious I'll come here often for a free meal from now on."

"Okay, come every day then, haha..."

Yingzi accompanied him, and with a calm smile, they entered the restaurant together.

The small square table is just the right size for four people to sit facing each other.

Yang Jianguo sat facing Han Lao, with Yingzi and Han Xi naturally beside him.

As soon as we sat down, the dishes started coming out one after another.

Authentic Shandong cuisine features a very heavy soy sauce color.

However, with special cooking methods, it can appear to have the crystal-clear luster of amber.

It made people's mouths water and they couldn't wait to try it.

"Xixi, open a bottle of Moutai that Jianguo brought. We'll drink this today."

When Old Master Han spoke, Han Xi responded with some confusion and went to open the wine.

Why open this gift that was just brought in front of the host? Isn't that a bit impolite?

But she didn't understand that what Old Han wanted was precisely this 'closeness' hidden beneath the impoliteness.

I don't treat you like an outsider!

The old man's unspoken message was an expression of goodwill and closeness towards Yang Jianguo.

Yang Jianguo chimed in, "If you like it, old commander, I'll bring you a couple more bottles later."

Nowadays, Moutai's production has increased.

I'm not as nervous as before, and it's not too difficult to get some.

Given Han Lao's status, he naturally has no shortage of quotas.

But as the old saying goes, what you have is yours, and what I give is mine.

This gift is a reciprocal gesture; it's unacceptable to have too little or too few.

After Han Xi brought the wine and opened it, he poured it for everyone.

The meal officially began, with Old Han starting with the first toast: "Today, we've met such a like-minded young friend as Jianguo. In Old Li's words, we should drink a big toast!"

"Xixi, you must learn a lot from this good leader!" With that meaningful remark, Old Han tilted his head back and downed his drink.

Yang Jianguo, with his smile unchanged, raised his glass and downed it, while the two women seemed lost in thought.

I'm pondering the meaning behind the old leader's words.

Actually, Old Han didn't mean anything by it.

It was nothing more than a polite way of praising Yang Jianguo, and also a way for him to use his own words to get closer to his granddaughter.

How could a grandfather not see through his granddaughter's little scheme?

However, what Yang Jianguo is more famous for than his abilities is his relationship with his daughter-in-law.

That's something everyone knows and understands.

It's truly a contemporary love legend.

I can't speak for other places, but in Beijing, he's a household name.

We have to thank those matchmakers; they always bring up a couple of people to promote them.

One common saying is, "Wouldn't you want to find someone like Master Yang and the Li family's daughter, with their kind of love?"

They've been saying the same thing over and over again for over ten years.

It's hard not to know!

It's good for her to experience some setbacks. She's been used to things going smoothly since she was a child, and she should learn a lesson.

What is frustration?

In this world, everything has to be done according to someone else's wishes.

Old Han chuckled as he picked up some food and started talking to Yang Jianguo about work again.

The progress of the reform, the system, the difficulties encountered, and the attitude of the local authorities.

The balance of various factors, as well as the main objectives and results of the reform.

Talking a thousand times is not as convincing as showing real results.

Chang'an, the textile city.

Today, the various products produced are well-known domestically, and their export rate and foreign exchange earnings are significant.

This reached a record high, and the matter was even featured in a special report on CCTV's evening news channel.

From introduction to summary, the camera was shown for 7 minutes.

What does 7 minutes mean? In this day and age, let's put it in the simplest terms.

As everyone knows, domestic orders have surged by 137%.

This number continues to rise, and for a time, the products produced in Chang'an Textile City...

It became a highly sought-after "premium product," and no other product on the market could compete with it.

Even if the quality is no worse than it, or even better.

Despite the current craze, the five characters "Chang'an Textile City" truly represent its prestigious reputation.

In the market, anyone who can get their hands on products from 'Chang'an Textile City' is highly sought after.

Pick up the sack, and you'll find money!

Chapter 462 External Beauty, Adjusting Goals

The success of Chang'an Textile City is something everyone wants to see.

Since we can't change the general trend of reform, can we take advantage of this favorable wind to do something good?

Improve the lives of employees, even former employees.

Let them live well, live a life that others envy, and they can gain great honor for themselves and the entire group.
