Break out of the courtyard

When she heard the words "No. 7, Houhai North Bank", Lou Xiao'e froze in place. This address was too familiar to her.

Because of that boy, she had memorized this address for more than ten years!

When she came to her senses, Zhang Heping and his family had already walked far away.

Just as Lou Xiaoe picked up her luggage bag and chased after her with her son, and was about to stop the other party at the airport exit to confirm their identity, she was shocked to find that the family wearing red down jackets got into three black cars and drove away. .

This situation made Lou Xiaoe stunned for a while, wondering if she had recognized the wrong person!

When did that boy from the Zhang family become so grand?

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but look around. Apart from a bus waiting for passengers, there were no other vehicles on the roadside. This shows that this capital is still that capital, and there are not many cars, let alone taxis.

"Are you two leaving?" The bus drove over slowly. The conductor on the bus leaned out half of his body and shouted to Lou Xiao'e and her son who were getting closer and closer: "If you don't come up, we'll leave!"

After hearing such vicious words, Lou Xiaoe once again confirmed that this was the capital in her memory.

After Lou Xiao'e got into the car with her son and sat down, her thoughts couldn't help but go back to the first time Zhang Heping went to her home more than ten years ago, and her father had to burn down the villa to avoid disaster because of an oil painting Zhang Heping casually drew. past events.

And, she and Zhang Heping’s first cousin, that ungrateful guy...

After Lou Xiao'e thought of her eldest son with Zhang Cuishan, she couldn't help but stretched out her right hand and touched her second son's head.

Since her father successfully fled Hong Kong Island with the Lou family before the stock market crash in 1973, they traveled to several countries and finally settled in the new island. The family started a hardware processing business.

The year before last, seeing signs of economic recovery, her father not only invested all his money in the factory, but also took out loans to expand the factory and add equipment.

However, fate played tricks on their family again!

After the outbreak of the second oil crisis, all orders previously signed by her factory were in default, and the price of coal and other raw materials rose sharply, which led to the closure of her factory.

Her father fell ill because of this and often lamented the injustice of God. He passed away from this world completely last month.

As for her third husband, Ashan, as early as 1973, her father regarded him as an abandoned son who guarded the factory and wasted time, and he lost news.

Lou Xiao'e has not remarried since then, not because she doesn't want to, but because she has been a social butterfly for so many years and has not met the right one.

Now, with the death of her father, the Lou family is completely broken up, and she is free.

When she returned to China this time, she first heard that the capital was returning the houses she had mistakenly occupied. She didn't have much savings, so she wanted to apply. If she could get back one or two of the Lou family's villas, she would have the capital to make a comeback.

Second, I heard that domestic business policies have been relaxed, attracting many foreign investors to invest in the country. This may be an opportunity for her to make a comeback.

In addition, she also wants to take her 11-year-old second son to meet his biological father.

……

"Aunt Wang, why don't you go up and sit for a while?" Before Zhang Heping got out of the car, he checked with Director Wang again in the passenger seat and tried to go upstairs to talk to her.

"No!" Director Wang looked sideways at Zhang Heping, "Remember to come back to work tomorrow."

Well, I mean we’ll talk about it tomorrow.

After watching the three black cars called by Director Wang drive away, Zhang Heping entered the Capital Hotel with his wife and children.

The hotel room was a suite that had been booked long ago. It was just over 1 square meters and had only two bedrooms. Fortunately, each bedroom had a double bed and two single beds.

Zhang Heping and his three sons sleep in one room, and his two wives and their four daughters sleep in the same room, which is barely enough sleep.

They also want to rent an extra apartment, but the rooms are tight. Recently, many foreigners have come to the capital for tourism and inspection.

For this reason, Zhang Heping reserved this suite for a year and booked the room next door.

After putting down their bags and suitcases, the two wives began to count the things they wanted to give away. A group of children took off their coats due to the heat and crowded near the window to look at the snowy scene outside.

"Humph! Fortunately, I bought 3 sets of down jackets for everyone, and the tags were not cut off." Tang Xin, the eldest wife, was dissatisfied and proud again, "Shu Ting and I gave 4 sets of down jackets to Mom, 2 Sister, eldest cousin, give dad a set of your down jackets, and the three brothers-in-law won’t care.”

"There are 2 nieces, 4 nephews, 1 niece, and 1 nephew, that's all!"

clap clap!

Zhang Heping clapped his hands twice and said to the children: "I'm going to Houhai to meet my grandparents. Put on your coats, scarves, and hats. And again, who is my mother?"

"Cousin." The children replied in unison.

"Who is dad's father?"

"secretary."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heping held his youngest daughter Zhang Nuo in his left hand and dragged a large suitcase in his right hand. He led the children out of the room and went downstairs to wait for the two beautiful wives who still needed to touch up their makeup.

The snow outside the door of the Capital Hotel was swept to both sides. Six children piled a few snowballs on the side, and then their mother called them away without saying anything.

Then, I saw this family stepping on the squeaking snow, looking around and pointing all the way to Houhai.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhang Heping and his party dragged themselves outside their home, their mother, Ma Xiuzhen, who had received the news in advance, was chatting at the door with a red-sleeved aunt with her hands in her sleeves.

"Yo! Which family is this from? They are all dressed in red." Aunt Hongxiu was surprised, and then she was shocked to find Ma Xiuzhen next to her quickly approaching.

"grandmother!"

A group of grandchildren and granddaughters shouted one after another, making Ma Xiuzhen smile from ear to ear.

"Mom, this is Secretary Chen, don't make a mistake." Zhang Heping reminded him and walked towards Courtyard No. 7 first.

"Are you Zhang Heping?" Aunt Hongxiu gradually came back to her senses and recognized the face under the red hat.

Zhang Heping responded with a smile, "Aunt Liu, long time no see!"

When the red-sleeved aunt named Liu saw Zhang Heping going straight back to the house, she immediately gossiped and asked Ma Xiuzhen, who was leading her grandson and granddaughter, eagerly:

"Xiuzhen, which one of these is your daughter-in-law? When did Director Zhang get married? You guys are not kind. Director Zhang didn't even say a word when he got married, which made the matchmakers in the neighborhood always come to your house."

"Ouch! One, two, three...are these seven children all Director Zhang's? These two little ones look exactly the same, they must be twins! This daughter-in-law of yours is so capable of giving birth!"

"Sister Liu, I'll go back and get busy first. I'll talk to you another day." Ma Xiuzhen didn't have the time to explain to outsiders right now, so she quickly took her grandson and granddaughter back to the house, for fear of freezing them.

"Look, this is the mural that my father painted when he was a child!" After his eldest son Zhang Bei walked into the doorway, he began to introduce it to his younger siblings, "This is the Feiyu Seizing of Luding Bridge."

"I know, they are going to climb snow-capped mountains and cross grasslands!" Xiaowu Zhanglong said loudly.

Zhang Bei pointed at the snow-capped mountains and said with a smile: "This is the Battle of Changjin Lake, and grandpa is also on it; here are the five heroes of Langya Mountain, and this is Dong Cunrui's bombed bunker..."

After Zhang Heping greeted his father Zhang Bing and several nephews, he went under the kitchen. They hadn't had lunch yet.

That Aunt Liu didn't get what she wanted, but she shamelessly followed her to the hospital. She was obviously obsessed with gossip and vowed not to go home unless she got some inside information.

Zhang Heping didn't care that the news of his marriage and childbirth was leaked. According to Director Wang, he no longer had to worry about his identity.

In addition, the Kowloon Tong robbery was a big deal, and Director Wang and others were also worried about the safety of Zhang Heping and his family.

A few days ago, Director Wang gave Zhang Heping two suggestions on the phone.

One is to send bodyguards from China to join the umbrella company, and the other is to let Zhang Heping's wife and children return to China.

In response, Zhang Heping did not rush to reply.

If he accepts domestic bodyguards, he will not be able to act happily in the future.

As for letting his wife and children return to China, it is estimated that someone in China wants to provide some ideological education to Zhang Heping's children, so as to completely tie Zhang Heping down.

In recent years, if Zhang Heping hadn't been worried about the safety of his wife and children, he wouldn't have acted so cautiously, let alone spent 1 million yuan to merge with the Tang family's mercenary company.

You know, there are no more than 5 Tang family bodyguards who are familiar with him. You don't need to care about the life and death of other bodyguards, because that is the Tang family's business.

That evening, thanks to Aunt Liu's efforts, people in the nearby alleys had something to talk about after dinner.

"Have you heard? Zhang Heping from Courtyard No. 7 is already married and has seven children!"

"No one knows Zhang Heping?"

"It's Deputy Director Zhang from the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office, the guy who used to give fish to the families of military martyrs."
