Chapter 6 Father Zheng and Father Tang return home

"Old Zheng, do you see if we take the time to take our children back to our hometown in Shanghai together? We resigned from our unit together and went into business, but we were all scolded in front of our relatives and friends. We always felt that we were not doing our jobs and were tempted by money, especially in front of the old man, we would almost be expelled from the house. If we had no choice during the holidays, we would not dare to go back at all. This time, the child of some relatives and colleagues also took the college entrance examination this year. Let them see that not only can I make money than them, but the sons I gave birth to are also better than the children they gave birth to." Tang Hao's father outlined a picture in his mind. All the relatives and friends in the family said compliments around him and praised his son. Thinking of this, he wanted to fly back immediately.

Before Zheng Yan's father could speak, Tang Hao poured a basin of cold water on his father, "I didn't give birth to you," he saw his father glaring at him, and quickly added, "It was, I was born to my mother."

Although Zheng Yan was used to Tang Hao's words, he still couldn't help but laughed.

"Boy, what are you talking about?" Tang Hao's mother patted Tang Hao's head with a little embarrassed look.

"It's time to go back. Our situation is similar. I'm a little better than you. At least my second brother is still working in the workplace now. You are the only man in your family. Although your elder sister works steadily, your old man feels that since his daughter is married, he can't be considered a member of your Tang family. Your only son is unwilling to inherit his father's business, so the old man is inevitably a little difficult to accept. I think this is true! There's nothing wrong with my company in recent days. If it doesn't work, we'll just go back tomorrow. The main thing is to go back to comfort the old man's heart. As for what those relatives and friends say, it's not that important to us at all."

"Okay, I'll ask the company's people to book air tickets for us first. After booking the air ticket, I quickly call my home." As he said that, Tang Hao's father took out the big brother in his bag and called the company's people.

After lunch, the two families went to the mall together to buy some gifts they were going to bring back.

Early the next morning, Zheng Yan's father asked the company's driver to drive a small passenger car that usually picks up and drops off customers. After packing the things, he went directly to the airport.

After leaving the airport in Shanghai, Zheng Yan's second uncle Zheng Xiancheng was already waiting at the exit, "Brother, what about this?"

"Brother Tang, I know you are back with my elder brother. I asked Xiao Wang, the driver of the unit, to drive over and ask him to send you back. I will drive them back directly with my elder brother." Zheng Xiancheng said to Tang Hao's father.

Since he was originally a family friend, Tang Hao's father was not polite.

Although the Shanghai Stock Exchange has not yet become a world-famous international metropolis like later generations, it is still much more prosperous than the Shenzhen City, which is in ruins.

Zheng Yan thought that from the early 1990s, there will be auctions of some state-owned assets one after another. If you have the opportunity, you must participate, especially some state-owned stores, etc., which will be auctioned together with buildings, and you will buy one or two buildings at will. Just keep them for more than ten years, and you can become a billionaire based on this alone.

Although it is a little early to think about this now, you can also include it in your future development plan first.

Just as Zheng Yan was wandering around the world, the group had already returned to the old house at home.

"Dad, I'll take my elder brother and sister-in-law back." Uncle Zheng Yan said to Zheng Yan's grandfather.

The old man of the Zheng family has retired now, but as the first batch of state civil servants since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he still believes that contributing to socialist construction is what a Chinese should do. Therefore, he has always been upset about Zheng Yan's father's behavior of going into business.

"Xiao Yan is back," the old man glanced at Zheng Yan's father and said to Zheng Yan, "It's been so long for summer vacation, and I don't know how to come back to see grandpa. By the way, how are you taking the college entrance examination?"

Zheng Yan's father saw that his chance to perform had come, and before Zheng Yan could speak, "Dad, Xiaoyan was the top scorer in science in Guangzhou this time. Didn't I bring him back to report you good news?"

Although the old man was already very happy when he heard his son say this, he was unforgivable, "My grandson was the top scorer in the exam. That's because my grandson has the ability. What has it to do with you? Why are you blind here?"

"Xiao Yan, it's not bad. It's better than your father. Your father is still a party member. He doesn't do a good job in national civil servants and is all focused on money." Although the old man of the Zheng family was very dissatisfied with Zheng Yan's father, he still loved his grandson very much. "I can't learn from your father in the future, go to college and study hard, and contribute to socialist modernization in the future."

"Grandpa, don't be angry with my dad. Isn't our national leaders promoting reform and opening up just to develop the country's economy? What we advocate now is to lead wealth to wealth later, which means that a group of knowledgeable and courageous people need to start their own businesses in advance. My dad is also responding to the call of national policies."

In fact, the old man of the Zheng family also knew in his heart that when he heard people around him occasionally, he always felt that Zheng Yan's father had embarrassed him. Although he never let his eldest son go, he actually didn't care much about it. It was just that the old man had a little stubborn temper and refused to give in.

In the next few days, Zheng Yan's father and Tang Hao's father invited relatives and friends around him to have a meal. Listening to the people around him praise his son, the two people who were full of scruples were proud.

Zheng Yan's grandfather even asked Zheng Yan to accompany him out for a walk every day. When facing his old friends and colleagues, he finally stopped hearing the words of choreographing his son. Seeing everyone keep praising his grandson, in a sentence from later generations, this feeling is very pleasant.

Originally, Tang Hao made an appointment with Zheng Yan and came back during this holiday to get together with his former classmates and friends. Later, the two found out that most of them had already started working. At that time, most of them did not choose to go to high school, but the same choice as most people nowadays. After graduating from junior high school, they directly took the technical secondary school entrance exam and then started working. Even if they were willing to come out for a gathering, most of them couldn't find time. After all, there was no summer vacation after joining the work.

The other part of the people who took the college entrance examination basically had poor grades. After learning about the results of Zheng Yan and Tang Hao, although they wanted to get together, they were a little indifferent.

"We are now alone." Tang Hao said to Zheng Yan.

"Actually, it's normal. When the gap between people grows, it's time to say goodbye. It's like getting on the same train. There are always people getting off first, but there will be people getting on the train again." Zheng Yan also sighed.
