Chapter Eleven Homecoming

At around 7 o'clock on August 8, six people including Zhang Jiancheng, Liu Lihua, Professor Fang, Teacher Qin, Hu Chunxiang and Guo Aijia took a bus back to Yinhai City.

The bus drove directly into the campus of Fudan University and stopped in the faculty and staff dormitory area. Liu Lihua, Zhang Jiancheng, Professor Fang, Teacher Qin, Hu Chunxiang and Guo Aijia got off the bus together. Zhang Jiancheng helped Hu Chunxiang get off the 20-pound jade wool purchased by Hu Chunxiang in Tengchong.

"Lihua, Jiancheng, tomorrow, you must come to my house for dinner." Hu Chunxiang said with a smile.

"Aunt Hu, just buy more vegetables. I won't eat tomorrow morning and noon. I will leave my empty stomach to have a big meal at your house." Zhang Jiancheng said after laughing.

"OK!"

Liu Lihua smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's talk about this first."

Liu Lihua and Zhang Jiancheng and his son got on the bus again and asked the driver to drive the bus to a small villa three kilometers away, which is Zhang Jiancheng's grandfather's house.

The bus stopped at the entrance of the yard. As soon as he got off the bus, Zhang Jiancheng's grandmother greeted her with a smile and said, "Lihua, Jiancheng, you are finally back. Everyone is waiting for you to have supper." After a meal, he said, "Let the two drivers come and have dinner together."

"Master You, Master Ding, come down and have a meal together. I will find you a place to live later." Zhang Jiancheng said in a sensible way, "Yinhai is my territory. You can play here for two days, and food and accommodation are mine."

"Today's food and accommodation are yours. We must rush back until tomorrow, otherwise the leader will scold you."

The bus back to Yinhai was contacted by Professor Fang. Professor Fang had a student who was a leader of Kunming Bus Company. When Professor Fang was in Tengchong, he called and did not bother him. The student immediately agreed to help, and the fee charged was very low.

Zhang Guoqing knew that his wife and son were coming back tonight, and he was back in a bus, so he also came to his father's house to welcome his wife and son.

Because there were two drivers, Master You and Master Ding, there were not some words on the dining table. After eating for half an hour, everyone was full.

After dinner, Master You and Master Ding took a few sips of tea. Master You said, "It's getting late, so we won't bother you."

Zhang Jiancheng stood up and said with a smile: "Two masters, I'll take you to the hotel to rest."

"National Day, it's tiring to build these days. Don't let him run around. You can arrange for a rest in the hotel near Master You and Master Ding, and don't let the two masters spend money."

After Fang Youcai finished speaking to Zhang Guoqing, he smiled and said to the two drivers: "Two masters, come to my house for breakfast tomorrow morning, so that you can taste the special breakfast of Yinhai."

Master You was slightly stunned, glanced at Master Ding, nodded with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhang."

Master Ding said: "The jade wool material is still placed in the car, so move it down first."

"Haha, I almost forgot!" Zhang Jiancheng patted his forehead, "Let's go, move the jade out of the car first."

After 9:30, Zhang Guoqing arranged for two drivers to stay in the hotel and returned to his father's home. He saw two mahogany trays on the coffee table, with more than a dozen jade bracelets in it. In addition, he also saw his mother Yao Ying wearing a jade bracelet on her hand and her father holding two jade pendants on her hand.

After sitting down, Zhang Guoqing asked, "Jiancheng, are these things you bought in Tengchong and gave to grandparents?"

"On National Day, your son is still sensible. He knows to buy gifts for grandpa, and it is also an expensive gift." Zhang Liangcai joked.

Zhang Guoqing knew that his son had made some money in gambling stones in Tengchong, but he didn't know the specific amount. The raw materials of jade were placed in the box, and he didn't know what the value of the jade his son bought. He looked at the jade bracelets on the table, stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Zhang Jiancheng lying on the sofa.

"Jiancheng, you told me on the phone that you made a lot of money by betting on stones. These jade jewelry are not cheap, you made a lot of money, right?"

Before his son answered, Liu Huali said with a giggle: "Your son is now a millionaire."

"Millionaire?" Zhang Guoqing showed a surprised expression on his face, "You said you made a million yuan in Jiancheng?"

"To be precise, I made 4.68 million yuan. However, I almost spent more than 4 million yuan."

The muscles on Zhang Guoqing's face trembled for a few moments, and he was stunned for a long time. After coming to his senses, he laughed, stared at his son for a few glances, and asked, "Chancheng, those more than 20 boxes of jade wool have cost you a total of more than 4 million?"

"I spent 3.36 million yuan to sell jade wool materials, and in addition, I bought about 600,000 yuan of jade jewelry, and the remaining 600,000 yuan will be placed in my mother's place."

Zhang Liangcai and Yao Ying had just heard their grandson introduce them. At that time, they were also surprised. After being surprised, they began to be happy for their grandson. After all, the elders hoped that their younger generations would live a wealthy life.

Zhang Liangcai put the green Guanyin jade pendant in the tray and held the red jade pendant and said to his grandson: "I still like this red one. After it is built, I will give this green Guanyin to your grandfather."

"Okay. In a few days, I will go to Huzhou and send gifts to my grandparents."

"Caring, who have you prepared gifts for?" Zhang Guoqing asked curiously.

"Grandpa and grandma, grandma's gifts are a little more expensive. Aunt, cousin, aunt, and two aunts have gifts, each of them has a bracelet."

Zhang Liangcai and Yao Ying have three children, one daughter and two sons, namely Zhang Aihua, Zhang Guoqing and Zhang Jianjun. Zhang Aihua was born during the liberation of Shanghai in 1949. Zhang Guoqing was born on the National Day in 1953 and Zhang Jianjun was born on the August 1st Army Day in 1955. In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Zhang Jianjun became one of the millions of dead martyrs.

Zhang Jiancheng's uncle Liu Yueshan and his uncle Zhang Jianjun's comrades-in-arms had a good relationship. Before the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began, Zhang Guoqing and Liu Lihua were destined to be married after their introduction.

Zhang Liangcai was very guilty of his son Zhang Jianjun's death. It was all his thoughts of educating his son to serve the country since childhood. Otherwise, his son would not have joined the army. After his youngest son passed away, Zhang Liangcai, who was originally good at talking, became unspeakable, and did not even mention the story of his revolution and underground party work in front of his grandson.

Although Zhang Liangcai was young and putting life and death on the other place to make a revolution, in his later years, he felt that peace was a blessing, and he did not want to guide his grandson to have the idea of ​​joining the army and serving the country since he was a child.

After getting married and having children, Zhang Guoqing and Liu Lihua participated in the national unified college entrance examination for 80 years and became students of Fudan University. After graduating from university, they both stayed at school to teach. However, Zhang Guoqing taught for two years and entered the government department to work, step by step to reach his current status.

Jiancheng's grandparents have four children, two sons and two daughters. Zhang Jiancheng's aunt is named Liu Fenju, who is two years older than his mother Liu Lihua. His two uncles are both younger than his mother. Liu Yueshan is the eldest uncle and his second uncle is named Liu Zeshui.

Zhang Jiancheng asked Zhang Guoqing with a smile: "Dad, what gift do you want?"

"I, I'll just forget it."

"Dad, I originally planned to buy you a jade pendant, but I think you are a civil servant, and appearing in front of the public wearing jade pendant will have an impact on the impact. Otherwise, I will buy you a watch, it doesn't have to be too expensive. It's almost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. In addition, buy a brand-name suit, leather shoes, tie, and belt as well..."

"Haha, really no need." Zhang Guoqing smiled happily, "You kid, you can't spend money indiscriminately. A watch worth 10,000 or 20,000 is not too expensive... You said there are still about 600,000 now. If you spend it like this, you won't be able to spend it all in a short time."

"Dad, I don't agree with your idea." Zhang Jiancheng deliberately pretended to be very serious. "The purpose of making money is to spend money. You should spend it when you have money. Of course, I don't advocate extravagance and waste. I have more than four million in my hands, and the amount of this money is not low. If I spend it slowly, I may not be short of money in my life and have no motivation to make money. Then I will not study hard or find a job. This is no different from eating and waiting to die. If I spend more than four million now, I will feel good about spending and losing money, I will think of ways to make money."

"Building, this time you are lucky. Do you think you can make money by gambling stones next time? Don't be too naive." Zhang Guoqing said seriously, "Next time, you are not allowed to be gambling stones again. If you make money this time, you can't develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing."

Zhang Jiancheng smiled slightly and said, "Dad, please rest assured. I will definitely not think that pies will fall from the sky. However, please believe in my ability. In the future, you will definitely be proud of having such a smart and capable son."

"Jiancheng, why do I feel that you are a little too confident and proud? This time I went to Yunnan. After I came back, I found that you have changed a lot."

"I also feel like I don't understand this son anymore." Liu Lihua smiled. "When I was in Tengchong, I felt like a successful businessman, and he was very polite when he spoke."

"Haha, maybe my baby grandson has a talent for business." Zhang Liangcai said.

Yao Ying said: "Jiancheng, you have bought gifts for your grandfather and grandfather, and some ladies, so don't look down on your male compatriots. I think, just buy each person a watch worth two or three thousand yuan."

"Grandma, I understand!" Zhang Jiancheng responded, stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "Dad, do you still have to go to work tomorrow? Are you going to sleep with grandpa, or go back to sleep?"

"It's getting late, I'm going back." Zhang Guoqing stood up.

Liu Lihua also stood up and said, "Dad, mom, it's getting late, National Day and I will go back first."

Zhang Guoqing asked, "Jiancheng, won't you go back together?"

"I won't go back today, let me spend the night with my grandparents."

"It's okay. I've been taking the car for so long. You can rest early and don't play too late."
