February 16, 1931 was the Spring Festival of this year.

According to convention, Qin Zhaoji, who was over 80 years old, convened all his descendants to hold a family banquet.

The eldest brother Qin and Hanliang have three sons and three daughters, all of whom have gotten married and had children.

Everyone in the whole family got together, with about forty people, and a total of five tables of banquets were set up.

In addition to the old man Qin Zhaoji, the second generation of Qin Hanliang, Qin Hancheng, Qin Hanxu, and the third generation of Qin Di and three cousins.

Logically speaking, Zhu Wan could also go to the main table, but she, a woman, seemed very abrupt, and she was unwilling to drink, so she sat down with Qin Yue, Yan Xue, Huizi and others.

Qin Zhaoji looked at a family member and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, saying, "I remember when I left my hometown in Ningbo at the age of 23 and came to the Magic City to struggle. I failed to open a hotel and opened a sewing shop. Later, I took a desperate bet and borrowed three thousand oceans from my family to open a sponge mill together. After seven or eight years of business, I accumulated a sum of money. Just as my partner wanted to quit, I bought the sponge mill and finally got my own career.

I didn't expect that many years later, I would have such a big family.

And you are also very successful. Since I retired twenty years ago, my family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and the Qin family's reputation in the Demon City has become more and more popular. I feel very satisfied when I think about it, and I have no regrets even if I die."

Qin Hanliang quickly said, "Dad, how can you say such words on a happy day!"

Qin Zhaoji said: "I am eighty-eight years old, how many years can I live? Remember, after I die, I will buried me back to Ningbo, where there is the Qin family's ancestral tomb, located next to Qita Temple."

Qin Hanliang hurriedly said, "Dad, I know it long ago! Uncle's spiritual card is still being paid in Qita Temple!"

He was the eldest son of the family and inherited most of the shares of "Mingzhou Home Textiles". As time went by, he was in his sixties and gradually handed over the factory to his son for management.

After graduating from middle school, Qin Mu, the Changsun of the Qin family, worked in the Military Control Bureau with his third uncle Qin Hanxu for several years. He met some people, broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge. When he came back and worked with his father, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now he is the main manager of "Mingzhou Home Textiles".

The second brother Qin Jian, who received the support of Qin Hanliang, opened a flour mill. He had inherent advantages in opening a flour mill because his second uncle Qin Hancheng was in charge of the "Qin Family Grain Business" and imported grain continuously from abroad at low prices, and the flour mill was very profitable. Qin Hancheng felt that Qin Jian was his nephew and was too lazy to compete with him, which gave him a lot of benefits.

The third son Qin Bo is two years older than Qin Di and is the only person who has been to college. He graduated from the "Magic City Business University" and was appreciated by his grandfather Qin Zhaoji. He represented the Qin family as a director of the "Siming Bank".

Siming Bank was established in 1908 by Ningbo merchants Yuan Lianqing, Zhu Peizhen, Fang Shunnian, Yu Qiaqing and others. At the beginning of its establishment, the capital was only 500,000 taels of silver, but its capital expansion was rapid for more than 20 years. It was known as the "Fourth Small Bank of the Republic of China" together with "Tongshang Bank", "Industrial Bank" and "State-Market Bank".

The Qin family placed half of the funds of "Mingzhou Home Textiles" in Siming Bank. In order to be on the safe side, they simply invested another sum of money and acquired 7% of Siming Bank's shares, allowing Qin Bo to be a director.

Overall, Qin Di’s three cousins ​​are quite capable, so the old man Qin Zhaoji is very satisfied.

But the next generation won't work.

Qin Mu had a wife and a concubine, and gave birth to four sons. The eldest son Qin Yuansi was twenty years old and had a barely matched character. The second son Qin Yuankong was eighteen, and he neither wanted to study nor work. He was wandering around all day long; the third son Qin Yuanjian was thirteen; the fourth son Qin Yuanguan was only nine years old. The four brothers together are homophonic to "Sikong Jianjian". These names were all chosen by Qin Mu.

The names of Qin Mu, Qin Jian, Qin Bo and Qin Di were asked by the old man. From this we can see that the Qin family is worse than the previous generation, and even the names have become vulgar.

Qin Jian did not restrain himself, married a wife and three concubines, and gave birth to five sons. The eldest son Qin Yuanlong started picking up girls at the age of sixteen and often went to major dance halls. The second son Qin Yuanhu was thirteen, and he was also ineffective.

Qin Bo has only one wife, and his son is only seven years old, so there is no way to tell whether it is good or bad for the time being.

Because they all live outside and rarely go back to the old Qin family house, the old man Qin Zhaoji doesn't know what kind of people his descendants are, and they think they are all excellent.

As the saying goes, wealth only lasts for three generations. Once a person is arrogant, extravagant, and lacks ambition, he will easily become degenerate.

Qin Mu is a businessman, busy managing huge factories every day and has no intention of supervising his son's daily life; Qin Jian is a little greedy, has many wives and concubines, and compares each other, making it difficult to educate the next generation; Qin Bo at least went to college and his wife was also educated, so he strengthened his discipline on his children and might have a future.

Compared with the eldest Qin Hanliang, the branch of Qin Hanliang, the second Qin Hancheng is a little pitiful. There is only Qin Di, and he has not been married yet! The third Qin Hanxu is even more miserable. He doesn’t even have a son, so the family seems pure!

So whenever the Qin family holds a family dinner, the room is bustling, and my aunt Hu Ying looks very happy.

She smiled proudly, looked at Zhu Wan and Huizi.

Although Zhu Wan is a great scientist, so what about a great scientist? She doesn’t even have a grandson!

Zhu Wan didn't care. As the principal of the "Chian Higher Medical College" and the "honorary dean" of the National Institute, she had no intention of competing with a housewife? Besides, she believed in Catholicism and had long given the future of her children and grandchildren to the Lord. Everything was destined by heaven, and there was nothing to worry about!

Huizi lowered her head and picked up food without saying a word.

Her daughter Qin Zhan is already eighteen years old, with a good appearance and a different kind of gentleness.

Qin Zhan knew about her mother's heart problems, but she was powerless.

Qin Di sat at the main table, turned around and looked at everyone's expression.

When he saw Qin Zhan, he couldn't help but feel moved: "My sister has grown up, I want to spend some time helping her."

Qin Zhan is a child who is very strange and doesn’t know whose talent he inherited, so he actually went to the Department of Mathematics of Jiaotong University!

A girl actually studied mathematics majoring, and in this era, she was considered innovative.

Qin Di is not a mathematician and cannot provide professional guidance. Qin Zhan is the only daughter in the family and is not short of money. Qin Hanxu hired a bodyguard and followed his daughter, so there was no problem with safety. So if Qin Di wanted to help her, he had to find the right opportunity.

Qin Di looked at the nephews at the other table, several of whom were clearly playing the dandy atmosphere.

Qin Di did not take this seriously. He was a reincarnated immortal. Except for his parents, sisters and several elders, others were like ants in front of him.

Of course, if these young people took the initiative to please, Qin Di would not turn them out.

But these little guys have never experienced any ups and downs, and obviously don't care much about him, his "uncle".

In fact, this is also related to Qin Di's low-key attitude. He is not showing off on weekdays and young people don't know how powerful he is, so how can they respect him?
