Return To 1998

afternoon.

Just after one o’clock in the afternoon, Xujiacun’s firecrackers sounded from time to time, indicating that someone has already started eating New Year’s Eve dinner.

Xu Tongdao was not surprised at all when he heard it.

He has seen it in Yuan Shikong. As everyone’s small days get better, more and more people gamble on money in the village. On days like New Year’s Eve, some people who want to go out to gamble early in the afternoon will eat early New Year’s Eve dinner. , And then, at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, some people gathered around and went to the gambling table.

For these people who love to gamble, today is a good day.

If you have money, you usually want to go out to gamble. The women at home and your parents usually scold them, but no one scolds them during the Chinese New Year today.

And, on this day, it’s especially easy to call others to join the table, and there is basically no such thing as missing one.

Of course, in such days, there are always people with poor self-control. They will lose their pants and make a good New Year the worst of their lives. People who run at night will often hear about it.

His father Xu Weixi used to be such a person.

But since Xu Weixi's death, no one in his family has a hobby of gambling.

No matter it was him, his younger brother, or younger sister, because he had seen the disadvantages of his father's gambling, the three of their brothers and sisters never gambling.

It was more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Their New Year's Eve dinner has also begun.

This year is the busiest and most crowded New Year's Eve dinner in their family.

Not only the whole family is here, but there are also Tong Wen, Zheng Meng, Sun Aizi, Ran Jing, Wang Xiaomin and others.

Because of the large number of people, two tables were specially prepared.

Fortunately, the lobby of this new house is large enough for two tables, which is still more than enough.

Unlike the previous two years, during the New Year’s Eve dinner this year, Xu Tongdao did not mention the marriage of his sister Ge Yuzhu.

Ge Yuzhu still has no targets.

But Xu Tongdao didn't mention this tonight.

One is because there are outsiders present, he wants to save face for his sister.

Secondly... he doesn't like nagging. He knows what he mentioned in the past two years. This year he suddenly didn't mention it, and his sister might be interested instead.

Besides, my sister is not too young, and he believes she should have a sense of urgency in her heart.

There is no need for him, who is the eldest brother, to nag every year.

pity……

Xu Tongdao didn't mention it, his mother Ge Xiaozhu never let go of Ge Yuzhu, and specifically mentioned it during the New Year's Eve dinner.

Then others rushed to do Ge Yuzhu's ideological work.

Xu Tongdao cast a helpless look at his younger sister, he could only let himself not mention it, and could not care about others, but that was what she deserved!

What do you say?

If you are short, you must admit it, and you must stand firm when you are beaten.

Who made her not have a partner till now! If she doesn't have this "weakness", even if others want to talk about her, they can't find such a reason.

So take it!

He himself is very busy tonight.

Calls and text messages to him for New Year's greetings ring from time to time.

There are relatives, friends, and business acquaintances. There are also calls and text messages from official leaders in Tianyun City, Shuiniao City, and Shazhou County.

Although he had already handed over his two mobile phones to Tong Wen to take care of, many people knew his new phone number.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Xu Tongdao was bored with the endless phone calls and text messages, so he simply walked out of the gate and walked in the yard while dialing the phone numbers of a dozen important people one by one. He took the initiative to call them to call for New Year’s greetings.

After making these calls, he temporarily silenced his cell phone.

Anyway, he has finished making important calls himself, and other people's calls and text messages are just casual.

When you are in the mood when you look back, give them a reply.

If you're not in the mood, it's just that.

Sometimes he is a very ego person.

He has his own logic.

For example, when he was living alone, the room was dirty. He only cleaned when he was in a mood. When he was not in that mood, he never forced himself to clean.

He feels that the house is to make himself comfortable, rather than to serve the house every day.

Another example: On New Year's Eve like today, he is unwilling to call this New Year's greetings and that New Year's greetings on the phone. He hopes to cover everything and make everyone he knows comfortable.

His thought is: I have worked hard for so many years, so that I and my family can live a happy life and live the life I want. Otherwise, what is the point of working hard for so many years?

He is unwilling to be a slave to life.

Mute the phone and throw it to Tong Wen.

He felt much more relaxed in his heart, watching the two children running around in the yard, watching his wife chase after her daughter to feed, watching the fireworks and firecrackers set off in the village from time to time and rushing into the night sky... and so on.

He felt very comfortable with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Boss, An An is so lively. If you train well in the future, she should be able to become a talent. Maybe she can inherit your career in the future!"

Tong Wen, who did not know when she came to Xu Tongdao, looked at Xu Anan, who was running so fast in the yard that Wei Chunlan could not catch up, and talked with Xu Tongdao with a smile.

Xu Tongdao glanced at her, laughed slightly, and shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether she can inherit my career, as long as she can be happy in this life."

Tong Wen was a little surprised, and looked at him, "Boss, you... plan to only let Lele be your successor? Can Lele take care of your big business alone?"

Lele, Xu Le.

The son of Xu Tongdao.

Xu Tongdao looked at Xu Le, who was running after her sister, smiled and shook his head, "You want to make a difference, their brother and sister, I only hope that they will be happy in this life, whether they can be my successor, it all depends on Will they have that interest and ability at that time?

If they are interested but not capable, I will try to dispel the idea that they want to take over~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If they are capable, not interested, or neither, let them please themselves, and do whatever they like. "

Tong Wen was even more surprised, frowned, her eyes filled with confusion, "Boss, what you said is true? Then, what about your career?"

Xu Tongdao put his hands in his pockets and shrugged slightly, "It is not a wise choice to find an heir among his own children. For one thing, it is difficult to cultivate a qualified heir. Secondly, even if this generation has cultivated a qualified heir, the next generation What about the next generation? There is always a time when a qualified heir cannot be cultivated? At that time, no matter how big the family business is, it will be defeated. Our country has so many dynasties in the past, but in the end they are so broken. A family business?"

Tong Wen: "..."

Frowning for a while, Tong Wen hesitated and asked: "Then whom do you plan to give to such a big business in the future? Are you willing to pass it on to others?"

Xu Tongdao's tone is casual: "You can find a professional manager to take care of it, and you can also set up a family trust fund. There are many ways. Let's talk about it then! It is too early to talk about this issue."
