Chapter 83

Tong Huaiyu was silent for a while, and Jian Qiu asked: "When are you leaving?"

Tong Huaiyu gave a bitter smile: "Are you looking forward to me leaving that much?"

Jian Qiu shook her head slightly: "Since you're back this time, do you want to invest in the country?"

Tong Huaiyu said: "Yes, I've made some money abroad and want to come back to invest. I won't say empty words like building the motherland, I just want to see if there are bigger opportunities."

Jian Qiu asked: "Have you thought about what to do?"

Tong Huaiyu said: "Mineral resources. Our country's rare earth reserves are the largest in the world, and rare earths are relatively scarce abroad. If we export them, we will definitely make money."

Jian Qiu asked again: "Are you not leaving in the future?"

"I'm leaving. Business abroad is the most important thing, but I have to wait until some things in the country are handled before I go back. After all, handling rare earth mining and export procedures is still quite troublesome."

Speaking of this, Tong Huaiyu gave a self-deprecating laugh, "I originally thought about taking you with me, but now it seems I thought too much."

Jian Qiu seemed not to have heard Tong Huaiyu's last sentence, stood up and said: "I should go back. It's New Year's Eve, you should go back early too."

Tong Huaiyu also stood up: "I'll see you off."

Jian Qiu wanted to refuse, but thought about it and agreed.

Out of the restaurant, they got into a Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the door, "Are you going to Courtyard No. 6?"

Jian Qiu nodded: "Yes!"

Courtyard No. 6, separated from the Forbidden City by a wall, with heavily armed guards standing at the entrance.

The Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of Courtyard No. 6, and Jian Qiu got out of the car: "Drive slowly!"

"Okay!" Tong Huaiyu waved his hand with a smile; "Hurry in, it's quite cold."

Watching Jian Qiu enter the door, Tong Huaiyu's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy. He picked up the cigarette from the glove box, lit it, and then leaned lazily against the back of the chair, looking up, staring at the car roof without blinking.

"Da da da..."

I don't know how long it had been, when suddenly someone knocked on the car window. Looking up, it was a guard.

Tong Huaiyu rolled down the car window: "What's the matter?"

The guard saluted: "Hello, comrade, you cannot park here for a long time, please move your car."

Anger flashed in Tong Huaiyu's eyes, but he held it back: "Okay, I'll move it now."

Zhou Anbin was scolded back by the old man, and then he added fuel to the fire when telling Zhao Guifen, making Zhao Guifen gnash her teeth in anger. If it weren't for the fact that her daughter-in-law was here, she would have gone to find trouble with Zhou Andong immediately.

"Remember this matter first, wait until your wife leaves, then go settle the score with Zhou Andong."

"Right!" Zhou Anlei was gnawing on a frozen autumn pear, "Zhou Andong is the worst. The meat was given to my grandma, so it's my grandma's. Why did he stop it?"

At this time, a girl with dark skin and a very slender figure came out of the room carrying a basin of peeled potatoes: "Auntie, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Guifen's face was immediately filled with a loving smile: "Just chatting. Juanzi, you don't need to do these things, go sit on the heated brick bed and watch TV."

Zhou Anbin took the potato basin diligently: "You hurry and stay in the room, I'm here, you don't need to do it."

Zhou Anbin pushed Juanzi into the room, then gave a quick kiss on Juanzi's face, turned around, and ran out.

Juanzi was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red instantly. She was too embarrassed to come out again and sat honestly on the heated brick bed watching TV.

Their family was having a harmonious time, but they had tossed Zhou Andong's family so much that there was no New Year atmosphere left.

Yuan Liying's face was gloomy, and she didn't say a word. Zhou Xiaoxin wanted to say something, but one was his wife and the other was his mother, and he didn't know what to say. Zhou Anbei didn't go to get the meat back, but stood on the ground and didn't get back on the kang.

Zhou Anqin was taking care of the fourth one eating, but it could be seen that this girl was also very angry.

"Oh!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "What are you doing? Because of one Zhou Anbin, we're not even going to celebrate the New Year? Come, come, Xiaobei, hurry up and get on the heated brick bed, pour wine for Grandpa."

"Exactly!" Zhou Anqin also had a smile on her face, "Come, raise your glasses, first wish Grandpa and Grandma good health in the new year, and then wish Dad a speedy recovery and Mom more and more beautiful."

The old lady sighed, probably still thinking about her eldest grandson Zhou Anbin in her heart.

The old man looked at the old lady with dissatisfaction, then laughed loudly: "My eldest granddaughter is the one who knows how to talk."

Zhou Xiaoxin also smiled: "Liying, I remember when we got married, you often had a drink with me, but since we had Xiaodong, you stopped. Today is New Year, you should have a drink too."

"Not drinking!" Yuan Liying's expression was still not very good, obviously still dissatisfied with the old lady in her heart.

Zhou Anqin smiled and took the Moutai: "Mom, this is filial piety from your eldest daughter-in-law, are you really not drinking?"

Yuan Liying's expression finally softened: "If Xiao Qiu were really my daughter-in-law, that would be great." After saying this, she glared fiercely at Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong was confused. I didn't provoke you, why are you glaring at me? Then he glared fiercely at Zhou Anqin. Now he was very sure that the fourth one calling Jian Qiu sister-in-law was instigated by this girl.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Dongzi is dating again?"

Just as Yuan Liying was about to say something, Zhou Anqin hurriedly said: "Yes, my sister-in-law is very beautiful. This wine and drinks, including that meat, were all brought by my sister-in-law."

The old man laughed happily: "My eldest grandson is capable. One left and another came. He has my style from back then."

The old lady glared: "What style?"

"Uh!" The old man was too happy and let slip what he shouldn't have said. He gave a dry laugh, picked up his wine glass and said: "Don't think about those unhappy things, come, let's toast again."

Zhou Andong really wanted to explain, but seeing the old man so happy, he closed his mouth: "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" The little girl also raised her drink. This was already the second can.

Although the reunion dinner was disturbed by Zhou Anbin, the atmosphere afterward was not bad.

Not long after the meal, Gao Zhen and a few friends he usually played with came over, and they played until the morning of the first day of the New Year. Zhou Andong won more than a hundred.

"Come, come, Happy New Year." Zhou Andong shook the money in his hand, "Ningning, hurry up and wish your brother a Happy New Year, there's a red envelope."

The little girl's eyes lit up: "Big brother, Happy New Year."

"Good!" Zhou Andong took out twenty yuan, "This is yours."

"Really giving money?" Zhou Anbei was happy, "Brother, Happy New Year."

Zhou Andong took out another thirty: "This is yours."

"Big brother!" Zhou Anqin said with a smile: "Happy New Year."

Zhou Andong gave the remaining sixty or seventy to Zhou Anqin: "Take it all."

Zhou Anbei said with dissatisfaction: "Brother, why does eldest sister have more money than me?"

Zhou Andong said: "Because she is older than you. Isn't your money also more than the fourth one's? Look, the fourth one is so content."

The little girl looked at the money in her hand and laughed quite happily. Zhou Anbei glanced at the fourth one and muttered: "She doesn't know how to count, she's happy just getting money."
