Jiang's old house!
When Li Yi and Jiang Xue came to the old house, the old man was enjoying the cool in the small pavilion in the yard, accompanied by several young soldiers.
Seeing his granddaughter and grandson-in-law coming with big and small bags, the old man immediately stood up, waved and said, "Here!"
Li Yi and Jiang Xue came to the small pavilion and immediately greeted the old man: "Grandpa!"
The old man looked at them, confirmed that they did not bring their children, and then asked: "Why are you two just there? Where is the child?"
Jiang Xue said with a smile: "Yun Jin is not feeling well today, so he left it to his grandma and aunts!"
"What's wrong baby, is it okay?"
"It's nothing. Maybe the child caught a cold because he didn't close the window when he went to bed last night!" Jiang Xue replied.
"You have to be more careful in the future. After all, she is a baby and can easily get sick!" the old man warned.
"I know, Grandpa!"
Then Jiang Xue asked again: "By the way, grandpa, where is my mother?"
"I'm making meat stew for you in the kitchen!"
At this time, the old man also saw the various things they were carrying in their hands, and immediately said: "Come here, what else are you bringing? Take it back when you leave!"
"Grandpa, are you sure?"
Then Jiang Xue said again: "There are several bottles of old wine that are more than 30 years old, and a bottle of foreign wine that is more than 50 years old. If you don't want it, then I will take it back and give it to my third brother!"
The old man's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Don't worry, your third brother knows how to taste wine. To him, Erguotou and Maotai taste the same. Giving him old wine is a waste of a good thing!"
Jiang Xue smiled and said: "When I met Third Brother that day, I told him that you always said that Third Brother's mountain pigs can't eat fine chaff!"
"Hahaha, you girl, why did you become so bad after just one trip to the south?"
Then the old man glanced at Li Yi, and then said: "They say that if you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be dark. It is probably your boy who taught you!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "In your eyes, am I the black-hearted boy?"
"I don't know if it's bad or not, but you are really bad. Look at how you tricked those gangsters. You obviously suffered a big loss. You even pinched your nose and apologized to us to compensate for the loss. I'm holding my breath just thinking about it!" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
"Then how do you think we did this? Is it good or not?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Okay, you did a really good job..."
Just as he was talking, Jiang Xue suddenly said: "Grandpa, you guys talk first, I'll put your things in the back room for you!"
"Let's go in together too!"
Then the old man said to Li Yi: "Come here and help me. The meal is not ready yet. Let's go to the study and sit for a while!"
"good!"
With that said, Li Yi immediately stepped forward and helped the old man walk towards the house!
............
Back in the study, the two sat down across a small round table.
The old man was getting older. Although he had not walked a few steps, he was still slightly out of breath.
After sitting on the sofa and relaxing for a while, he looked at Li Yi and said, "I know everything you did on Hong Kong Island, good boy, well done!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Without the cooperation of the country, I can't do anything, especially the navy, which helped a lot this time!"
"I'm not talking about dealing with those gang of ghosts. Taking care of a bunch of homeless dogs is really nothing to brag about. I'm talking about the fact that you brought back more than one billion in foreign exchange for the country!"
Then the old man said again: "Although we are a country as big as ours, there are countless talented people of all kinds. They can do any big project and do it well. But only people like you can get such a large amount of foreign exchange back." , but there are so few that even the old chief can’t help but praise you!”
"Is this the old chief you are always talking about?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"Chief No. 2!"
Although he was mentally prepared, Li Yi's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly when he heard the old man's words!
"Grandpa, why did the chief praise me so much?"
"The old chief said that you are a young man who is capable and understands the overall situation. He also said that you are the first person to truly attack the homeland of the Thieving Eagle. You have done what we have not been able to do!" the old man said.
Li Yi grinned and said: "The old chief has given me the reward. I'm not as good as he said. At best, I just used business rules to make hundreds of millions of dollars from the other party. It's not worth mentioning!"
"Haha, a humble attitude is good, but I think the old chief is right. You deserve such an evaluation!"
Then the old man continued: "What you brought back to the country is over a billion dollars. Don't say whether ordinary people have the ability. Even if they do, they may not have the courage to face such a large sum of money. Dedicated to the country.”
"But you did it, and even went as far as to offend the British Hong Kong government and put yourself in danger in order to send this money back to the country smoothly. This is even more commendable!"
Thinking of what the old chief said when he asked him to go to the Forbidden City for a talk, the old man couldn't help but feel a little excited. With this grandson-in-law here, the Jiang family could flourish for at least 50 more years.
Li Yi didn't know what the old man was thinking. He smiled and said: "Grandpa, the situation is actually not as dangerous as you always said. As you always said, the British Hong Kong government is a group of homeless dogs. Although they are thief and cowardly, , but he doesn’t have that strength.”
"They clearly know that I am from our side, but they don't dare to attack me openly. After all, they still care about the strength of our country. With the backing of the motherland, I can do what I do there with ease!"
The old man smiled, and then suddenly said: "You know, your second uncle has been promoted!"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Second uncle, who is he now..."
"The ministry is on duty!"
"The second uncle seems to be 51 years old this year. For such a young ministerial leader, the second uncle's future is limitless!" Li Yi said.
"Well, if you do well, you might be able to level up in ten years!"
Then the old man looked at Li Yi and said with a hint of gratitude: "Seriously, grandpa has to thank you for this!"
"Grandpa, what you always say is serious, I can't bear it!" Li Yi said hurriedly.
The old man sighed and said, "You don't know, since your eldest brother died on the front line, the entire Jiang family has been faced with the dilemma of having no successors, so grandpa has been a little worried, how long can the Jiang family last after my death?"
"How could it be possible? Not to mention the second generation of the Jiang family, there are also the second brother and Brother Long Ze among the third generation..."
Before Li Yi could finish speaking, the old man shook his head and said: "Your uncle and second uncle have limited qualifications. Although they are not too mediocre, they don't have much courage. Normally, the deputy ministerial level is their limit."
"As for your father-in-law, he has abilities and is not lacking in courage, but his condition was not very good before he found Xue'er. In addition, your mother-in-law's body was too distracting for him, and grandpa didn't hold him too much. Big hope.”
"Those among the three generations, Long Yin is pretty good, but he is too careful. Long Cheng...Forget it, let's not talk about him. As for Long Ze and the others, they are all too young. Before I died, they It’s basically impossible to grow up.”
"So grandpa has been worried in the past few years. If I leave, the Jiang family will almost inevitably decline given the current situation. Although it will not completely disappear, it will also become a third- and fourth-rate family and will no longer be the current one. Prosperity..."
Hearing this, Li Yi secretly admired him.
They say that the old is the hotter, and the old man’s vision is really accurate.
In the previous life, the Jiang family did decline rapidly after his death. In just a few years, the second generation of the Jiang family retired and only Jiang Shiying was left.
Among the three generations of the Jiang family, only Jiang Longyin was barely successful, and the remaining ones failed to grow in the end due to lack of resources.
As a result, the once famous Jiang family in the capital was completely reduced to a fourth-rate family. It was not until his father-in-law stood up with a sword in his hand and stepped on the heads of thousands of corrupt officials that the Jiang family regained its lintel.
But the situation has changed by then, and the Jiang family has missed the best period of development!
And at this moment, the old man's voice came to my ears again...
