Chapter 294: A Stubborn Donkey Doesn't Know the Taste of Soft Rice

The National Day of 1983 was not much different from 1982 for Li Ye.

Every unit hung up banners of "Celebrating National Day," some even hung two lanterns, brushed slogans, etc., which was quite festive.

Li Ye was not interested in slogans, only in the National Day ceremony, but he could only watch from afar last year, and he could only watch from afar this year.

As for the area closest to the square, let alone Li Ye, even if his grandfather Li Li Zhongfa came, he didn't know if he could get close.

"Can you see it? I can't see it."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu stood beside Li Ye, tiptoeing hard to look into the distance, her eyes also full of curiosity and yearning.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu was not a curious baby-like woman, which showed the status of the National Day ceremony in the hearts of the people at this time.

Seeing several parents carrying children on their shoulders not far away, Li Ye pulled Wen Watching Wen Leyu, and the little girl obediently leaned her head over. The crowd was noisy, and she couldn't hear what was being said without leaning over.

Li Ye whispered, "You can see it if you ride on me."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu slowly turned her small face, squinting her eyes and glancing at Li Ye with a smile that was not a smile.

【Girl, don't think crookedly!】

Wen Watching Wen Leyu curled her lips: "You are a big man, being ridden by a woman, and you don't feel ashamed."

Li Ye couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "It's definitely not okay for others to ride me, but I'm willing to let you ride me."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu said very unhappily: "Get lost, I'd feel ashamed if I were you!"

In later generations, girls riding on their boyfriends' heads was nothing, and they could even make scissor hands while laughing, but at this time, a big girl riding on a boy's head was more eye-catching than playing with a monkey.

"Also, if you treat me like a child again, I'll bite you."

Wen Watching Wen Leyu warned Li Ye fiercely with her eyes and kicked his calf lightly, quite like a big cat that was annoyed by being stroked, kicking its legs to express dissatisfaction.

Li Ye often rubbed Wen Watching Wen Leyu's hair, so she had protested many times that she couldn't be treated like a child, and now he wanted to carry her on his neck to play?

Sigh, the girls of 1983, they don't understand anything.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu tiptoed for a long time and couldn't see anything, so she simply said: "Can't see, let's go, there's someone selling candied haws over there, I'll treat you to eat."

Li Ye followed slowly, looking at Wen Watching Wen Leyu, who took out her wallet and walked generously toward the candied haw vendor, and couldn't help but smile.

Although she didn't allow Li Ye to treat her like a child, what was the difference between those light and joyful steps and the green girls in his memories?

Wen Watching Wen Leyu bought two candied haws, put them together to compare, and decisively gave the slightly smaller one to Li Ye.

"This one is bigger, you eat it."

Li Ye didn't expose her, took it, and took a bite.

The candied haw in October was fresh hawthorn, sour and sweet, exactly the same taste as the one he had longed for in his dreams.

In the afternoon, Li Ye and Wen Watching Wen Leyu carried meat and vegetables and strolled back to Zaojunmiao like a young couple.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford to eat at a restaurant, but mainly because Li Ye had been busy with teammates and Li Yang Huaisheng and others for the past few days, and hadn't fed Wen Watching Wen Leyu for a long time, fearing she would lose weight if he didn't feed her again.

They had just finished a warm dinner when they heard the sound of a car outside. Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and Pei Pei Wencong also entered the courtyard with a bag of vegetables.

Wen Watching Wen Leyu had already eaten and drunk enough and was about to return to school, so Li Ye asked Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng to drive her back.

And Pei Pei Wencong entered the kitchen and began to cook skillfully.

Li Ye asked with a smile, "Why? Don't the Cantonese restaurants in the capital suit your taste, Boss Pei? You have to do it yourself?"

Pei Pei Wencong shook his head and said, "I haven't had a stable meal in these days. I have to drink three meals a day. I didn't eat at noon today, and I was almost blocked by people from the film studio at night. It was not easy to be brought here by Brother Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng to hide, of course I have to fill my stomach first."

"Fine, I'll help you."

The two worked together and finally made a few decent Cantonese dishes.

"Old Pei, your craftsmanship is not bad!"

"When I was young, my mother helped relatives run a stall, and I was a small helper, but later they became rich, and my mother and I lost our jobs."

"Heh, Old Pei, you are a person with a story."

"Story?" Pei Pei Wencong sighed and said, "If I become rich, a miserable life is a good story. If I am down and out, it's not a story, it's a joke!"

The food was on the table, Li Ye accompanied Pei Pei Wencong to eat a little, but halfway through, Pei Pei Wencong put down his rice bowl, raised his head, his eyes agitated.

"Mr. Li, today, I actually still want to drink a little wine."

"..."

"Why?"

Li Ye smiled and touched a bottle of Moutai that had been prepared before the meal, and poured a glass for Pei Pei Wencong.

"Because my whole life..."

Pei Pei Wencong pondered for a long time, drank a glass of wine, and said happily, "Because in my whole life, I have never been respected like this before, or rather..."

Pei Pei Wencong struggled for a long time before saying, "I didn't know what it felt like to be respected until today."

Li Ye poured another glass of wine for Pei Pei Wencong and asked with a smile, "Tell me in detail."

Pei Pei Wencong drank it again and said, "I followed the relevant personnel to participate in the National Day ceremony today. I had to go through several inspections on the way. Every time I accepted the inspection, the eyes of the masses nearby and the masses in the distance were enthusiastic and envious..."

"And I am very sure that the reason they envy me is not because I have money, because I didn't hang a sign saying 'I am a billionaire' on my body,"

"And all the personnel who inspected me would salute me afterwards. I have also seen police officers salute in Hong Kong, that is completely different,"

"And when I stood on that platform, looking at the people who had no edge..."

"I chatted with an old comrade beside me. Can you guess what his level is?"

I guess your sister, are you finished showing off? Only you can do it, right?

But Pei Pei Wencong obviously didn't realize it, and said excitedly: "He is about the same as the Governor of Hong Kong, managing millions of people, and after the people around knew I was from Hong Kong, they became gentle immediately. I can feel their closeness to me..."

"I paid so much tax to the Hong Kong British government, but I never felt this kind of closeness."

Li Ye poured another glass of wine for Pei Pei Wencong and asked, "Do you know why they are close to you?"

Pei Pei Wencong blinked twice and asked, "Why?"

Li Ye stretched out a finger and said, "First, they recognize that you are a Chinese. Don't mention any Hong Kong British passport to them, otherwise they will let you know what is called righteousness destroying relatives."

Li Ye stretched out two fingers: "Second, you came early."

Pei Pei Wencong asked suspiciously: "Came early? What do you mean?"

Li Ye said, "I won't explain this to you in detail, you will understand it yourself in the future, but I tell you, those who come early can eat meat, and those who come late can just lick the soup."

Pei Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye blankly, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

A poor boy who could be admitted to the University of Hong Kong, his IQ was definitely not low, and he had been struggling in Hong Kong for so many years, how could he not understand Li Ye's meaning?

"Mr. Li, how big is this meat?"

"You are really greedy." Li Ye smiled and said, "I don't know how big the meat is, but do you think that with the current closed class situation in Hong Kong, just relying on excellent vision and superb business means, can you catch up with Li Chaoren and the others?"

Pei Pei Wencong: "..."

Catch up with Li Chaoren?

Pei Pei Wencong didn't even have the guts to have such thoughts in his dreams.

Just over a year ago, his dream was to own a real "sea-view office."

How many sea-view offices does Li Chaoren have?

Pei Pei Wencong swallowed his saliva and asked, "Then what do I rely on?"

Li Ye said lightly, "Rely on the general trend. Unification is the general trend."

Pei Pei Wencong only hesitated for a second before asking again: "Then how much money do I need? To eat meat?"

Li Ye almost laughed, do you think the British Empire is donating titles? Do you know what pattern is?

But Li Ye still explained: "One yuan, earn two yuan, the more the better."

"100% profit?"

"More than that."

"Done." ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
