Chapter 202: Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking at night in brocade clothes!
The three of them went downstairs and finally decided that Zhu Lin should ride the electric bike. It was mainly because Gong Xue's riding skills were really hard to trust.

Gong Xue rode Zhu Lin's ladies' bicycle. There was no crossbar in front of the bicycle, so even if it tilted, she could still support herself with both feet.

As for Li Changhe, he still rode his 28-inch bicycle.

After all, the bike is so big that it would be difficult for anyone except him, Zhu Lin and Gong Xue to ride it.

After the three of them discussed it, they got on their bicycles and headed towards Baiyi Road.

Zhu Lin, who had just started riding an electric bike, was particularly excited. He didn't need to pedal and his speed was not slow. He turned back and forth lightly, attracting the attention of people who were riding bicycles home from get off work on the road.

The distance of three kilometers is actually not far, especially if you go straight along Baiyi Road, which is a main road and smooth all the way.

When the three of them returned home, Li Lishan and Shen Yuxiu were already home.

"Where have you been in this hot weather?"

After entering the room, Shen Yuxiu saw several people with sweat on their faces and asked curiously.

When Zhu Lin heard her mother-in-law's question, she hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Changhe.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "Mom, I bought a house this afternoon!"

"Buy a house?"

“What house to buy?”

“Where did you buy the house?”

Shen Yuxiu was a little confused. Nowadays, all houses are public property. Where could he buy one?

"I bought one of the houses that the government had previously sold to overseas Chinese in Huayuan Village."

"I went to Hong Kong Island and transferred some foreign currency back. I bought it with foreign exchange certificates."

"By the way, there are also the gifts I bought for you in Hong Kong Island."

"Go and get it for our parents."

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.

Zhu Lin reacted immediately and went into the house immediately and took out the watch that Li Changhe bought.

"Dad, Mom, this is what Changhe bought for you."

Li Lishan looked at the watch on the table and his expression changed slightly.

“This watch is not cheap!”

"What brand is this? I've never seen it before, and our department store doesn't sell it either."

Shen Yuxiu was a little curious. There were some foreign brands of watches in the department store, such as Rolex and Roman watches, but she had never seen this brand before.

"This is a high-end foreign brand. A watch costs four thousand dollars!"

"When we went to the United States and visited the shopping mall there, the American tour guide showed it off to us."

Li Lishan said with emotion.

"Oh my god, four thousand dollars?"

"That would cost at least 6,000 or 7,000 yuan, right?"

At this time, the official exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar was 1.5 to 1, which was the moment when the RMB was most valuable.

"About the same. This watch is mainly accurate. I bought it from Hong Kong Island."

Li Changhe was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his father went to the United States and knew Patek Philippe.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Shen Yuxiu asked in surprise at this moment.

"I made money there. Don't worry. This is all legal and compliant. I have already reported it to the country. I brought these things back and paid taxes. They came in through Luohu Port normally."

"I bought this house from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office."

Li Changhe smiled and said to his mother comfortingly.

"We live well at home, why do we have to go out and buy a house? It would be better to save the money instead."

Shen Yuxiu said with some dissatisfaction at this time.

It would be such a nice thing to have my son and daughter-in-law living at home. Why do I have to go out and buy a house?

Seeing this, Li Changhe said with a smile: "Mom, you can't think like that."

"If we don't spend these foreign exchange coupons, how can we earn foreign exchange for the country?"

"The foreign exchange belongs to the country only if I spend it. That's why Director Liao of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office encouraged me to buy a house. It's a contribution to the country."

"I won't tell you anymore. I also bought watches for my sisters."

"And my parents. I'll ask Linlin to send them up later."

Li Changhe felt that the news of buying a house would take some time for the old couple to digest, so he prepared to leave.

"Just buy it for your parents, why are you buying it for your sister and her family?"

"Wait a minute, the watches you bought for your sisters aren't also this expensive, are they?"

Shen Yuxiu asked hurriedly at this time.

"No, this is the only one you have. I bought them Roman watches."

"The Roman watch is fine. Wait, a Roman watch?"

Roman watches are too expensive!

This wasteful thing!
Before Shen Yuxiu could continue preaching, Li Changhe had already walked out of the house.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving!"

After coming out, he packed some chocolates and candies, then rode his electric bike towards the courtyard.

Zhu Lin also smiled and said, "Mom, Xiaoxue and I will stay upstairs tonight, and I will also deliver the gifts that Changhe bought to my parents."

I also have to tell her parents about buying a house. After all, it won’t be so easy for her to eat for free in the future.

"Go!"

His attitude towards his daughter-in-law Shen Yuxiu became much better. Then Zhu Lin led Gong Xue, took several boxes, and went upstairs.

After they all left, Shen Yuxiu looked at Li Lishan, only to see that Li Lishan was putting the watch on his wrist.

"What are you wearing? Why are you wearing such an expensive watch in school? I'll take it and put it away!"

After that, he snatched it away and put it in the watch box, saying angrily.

Li Lishan was speechless when he heard this: "He already bought it for us, what are we afraid of? Not many people know this watch."

"Mr. Sun from the Chemistry Department also wears a Rolex, which was also given to him by his daughter. He wears it every day."

"My son gave it to me, what are you afraid of?"

"Your son is about to move away, and you still have the mind to wear a watch!"

Shen Yuxiu was not angry that Li Lishan wore a watch, she was angry that Li Changhe and the others were moving away.

Li Lishan smiled and shook his head: "Just move away, they are willing to live outside, what's wrong with that?"

"I heard that the houses over there in the Overseas Chinese Apartments are well-built, much better than ours."

"Besides, now that he has moved out and the room is vacant, why don't you just ask Xiaojun and her daughter to move back in?"

"It saves me from renting Mr. Zhang's house and disturbing his peace."

Li Lishan said calmly.

Hearing Li Lishan's words, Shen Yuxiu paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "That's right, they went to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, so it's a good opportunity for Xiaojun and the others to come back and live there."

"Okay, you have some conscience and are still thinking about your daughter. Take it and take it."

Shen Yuxiu pushed the watch box back to Li Lishan.

Li Lishan was speechless. What did he mean by having a conscience and thinking about his daughter?
It was obvious that Li Changhe had vacated the house. The room was empty anyway, so he must have let his daughter and her family come back to live there.

On the other side, Li Changhe rode an electric bike and soon arrived at the gate of Zhang Shiqi's courtyard.

When he got here, Li Changhe found an inappropriate place for the electric car.

It is convenient to ride, but the bike is too heavy. It is difficult to move it into the courtyard because of the threshold.

If I had known this earlier, I would have come here by bike.

"Changhe, you're back?"

In the yard, Chen Aiguo came out of the kitchen and was surprised to see Li Changhe carrying an electric bike in.

They went to the family compound two days ago, and Li Changhe hadn't come back yet.

"uncle!"

At this time, Chen Tingting, who was playing in the yard, immediately ran over happily.

"Come, girl, see what delicious food your uncle brought you."

Li Changhe took out a piece of chocolate, opened it and placed it in front of Chen Tingting. Chen Tingting took a bite subconsciously, and then her eyes narrowed in happiness.

"Is it sweet?"

"sweet!"

At this time, Li Xiaojun, who heard the voices in the room, also came out.

"Changhe, when did you come back?"

"Last night, by the way, where is Mr. Zhang?"

"Inside the house. I just came back from a walk this afternoon."

"Here, these are gifts for you. I bought a watch for you and my brother-in-law, and some food for my daughter."

Li Changhe handed the cloth bag to Li Xiaojun.

"Why buy such an expensive watch?"

"Take it. You all have it. I bought it from everyone of our parents."

"If anyone asks you about it, just tell them I sent it to you!"

Li Changhe smiled and stuffed the cloth bag into Li Xiaojun's hand, then walked towards Zhang Shiqi's room.

Back in the house, Li Xiaojun opened the cloth bag and took out the watch box.

Looking at the logo above, his face was full of surprise.

"Xiaojun, what kind of watch is this? It doesn't look like a Magic City watch."

Chen Aiguo only knew about the Magic Watch. One of his colleagues at school wore one and wore it on his wrist every day. Others were not allowed to touch it.

"Roman watches are imported and much more expensive than Magic watches."

"imported?"

“It’ll cost several hundred dollars.”

Chen Aiguo asked in surprise.

So far, the couple has only saved a few hundred yuan.

This was all thanks to the money given by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. In fact, the money they had in the past year was barely enough for them to live on and they didn't save any money.

"Yes, imported, and a big brand!"

"Then this watch is so expensive, should we send it back to Changhe?"

Chen Aiguo said hesitantly at this time.

Li Xiaojun smiled and said, "Why give it to us? My brother gave it to us, so we just keep it."

"When we return to Northeast China in a few days, we will take this with us and transfer our household registration."

"Envy them to death."

In recent years, his cousin Liu Mantang has helped Chen Aiguo to transfer his household registration to Beijing. From now on, Chen Aiguo no longer has to work as a temporary worker at the Beijing Institute of Technology, but instead goes to work as a driver in a unit under the Beijing Military Region.

Yes, Liu Mantang not only solved Chen Aiguo’s commercial grain household registration problem, but also arranged a good job for him.

Now we just have to wait for them to transfer their household registration. Once that’s done, we can go through the process of starting work.

Li Xiaojun and his friends plan to go back and transfer their household registration in a few days.

At this time, Li Changhe brought them a Roman watch, which was like a pillow for Li Xiaojun because she was sleepy.

It would be boring to just transfer your household registration. Take the Roman watch back with you and let Chen’s family envy you.

Anyway, this was bought by her younger brother, let those people see how capable her, Li Xiaojun's younger brother, is.

After hearing this, Chen Aiguo smiled innocently: "Then the eldest and the third brother must be so envious."

If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes. Chen Aiguo also wants to go back to save his face.

Everyone advised him not to marry Li Xiaojun back then, but now he wants to see who still has the nerve to say that.

Li Changhe was unaware of the conversation between Li Xiaojun and her husband. At this moment, Li Changhe had already arrived at Zhang Shiqi's room.

It was a hot day, and Zhang Shiqi was sitting on a recliner in the house with a teapot next to him.

"came back!"

After Li Changhe entered the room, Zhang Shiqi said slowly.

"You are so patient!"

Li Changhe said with a smile that the old man didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. The two brothers have their own destiny. There's no point in me being anxious."

"But seeing how relaxed you look, it's obvious that nothing happened to the two brothers. Otherwise, would you have the time to chat with your sister and her family outside?"

Zhang Shiqi said slowly.

Li Changhe was not vague and took out a letter from his pocket.

"A letter your boss wrote to you."

"When the two brothers first arrived there, they suffered a lot, and the eldest brother got a scar on his face."

"But now everything is stable. With the money you gave me, I introduced a business to them, and they are currently running it."

Li Changhe said to Zhang Shiqi with a smile.

Zhang Shiqi nodded and took the letter.

"It's okay to leave a scar, it's better than losing your life."

"As for the letter, it's just the same whether you read it or not. It always reports good news but not bad news."

Although Zhang Shiqi said this, he still opened the new envelope and looked at the contents inside.

After reading the reply letter for a while, Zhang Shiqi casually placed the letter on the table beside him, and then asked Li Changhe curiously.

“You asked them to do the paper recycling?”

"Yes, it is difficult to do business at the grassroots level in Hong Kong Island. There are too many social groups. Waste paper recycling is a relatively niche industry, which is just right for the two brothers."

“Well, it’s indeed a small category, but it has good prospects.”

"By the way, did you bring back any foreign currency from Hong Kong Island this time?"

At this time, Zhang Shiqi asked Li Changhe again.

"I brought it. Do you want to use it?"

"I don't need it, but someone else does."

"Didn't I say before that I would help you find some good stuff? Now I have another chance."

"Another old friend of yours?"

Li Changhe asked with a smile.

Zhang Shiqi waved his hands and sighed.

"It's their child."

"Although this old fellow is dead, his reputation has been restored. Not only that, some of the things that were taken from him have also been returned."

"Now that his children have returned from the countryside, these things have become a source of trouble."

"The brothers and sisters are fighting over these items."

"Finally, the old sister-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, so she reached an agreement with the children to sell some of the old items that were returned, and invited a few of her old friends to be witnesses."

"If you buy these, you'll get into trouble. If you regret it later and bring up the past, it'll be disgusting."

Li Changhe said thoughtfully.

"No, these guys have already discussed it and will go abroad once they get the money."

“That’s why they don’t want RMB, but only foreign exchange certificates.”

"Once we leave the country, the brothers and sisters will be separated and live their own lives. We will never have any contact with each other again."

Zhang Shiqi shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that this family has overseas connections?"

Li Changhe said with a smile.

After the reform and opening up, the country relaxed the application for going abroad. As long as the family has overseas connections and is willing to go abroad, they can go abroad after review.

Many people who returned to Beijing began to frantically apply to leave after learning about this policy.

It is natural to deal with the assets in hand before leaving.

"I still have quite a few foreign exchange certificates. If that's the case, we can go take a look later."

If Zhang Shiqi says something good about it, then it must be a good thing.
