Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Seeing Zhang Minghui coming, the old man's face was full of smiles. He stood up and wanted to welcome him, but Zhang Minghui was frightened.

He is so old, we can’t let him do anything to us.

He hurried over to Mr. Zheng and helped him to his seat.

"Minghui, you haven't been here for a long time. What's the matter? Is it because your father-in-law and mother-in-law have gone back and don't want to come to our village anymore? You are such a heartless person."

Zhang Minghui laughed heartily and greeted loudly.

"Grandpa, you can't just wrongly accuse people. I'm here today, right? There's been a lot going on at home lately, so I've been a bit busy. Today's a good time for me to rest."

"I have brought everyone here. I am ready to have a good look at you."

Mr. Zheng was so happy that all the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, and he quickly gave instructions to his second grandson.

"Duofu, I'll ask your wife to cook a few more dishes. I'm going to treat them well today."

After receiving the order, Zheng Duofu nodded quickly and agreed, then went out to make preparations.

On this day, Zhang Minghui and his family were warmly entertained in the village. Many representatives from the village also came and competed with several men from the Zhang family in drinking.

How else to say it.

The best place for Chinese people to discuss things is over a table. If things don't get done, it means you didn't entertain your guests well. If one session doesn't work, come back for the second one. You can definitely get anything done.

Zheng Duomo not only wanted to entertain the villagers warmly, but also wanted to find a way out for them. He didn't want the villagers to rely on farming for their livelihood.

The counterfeiting project in their farm has long been stagnant. In this period, real antiques are not selling well, let alone fake ones!

As for Zhang Minghui's alcohol tolerance, he has been exercising well now, so two or three kilograms of liquor is definitely not a problem for him. After all, his physical fitness is there!

But Murakami kept drinking and Zhang Minghui became dizzy.

While Zhang Minghui was drunk, Mr. Zheng solemnly asked Zhang Minghui to find a way out. The old man was cunning and he knew that Zhang Minghui was not a simple person.

His nephew told him everything.

Zhang Minghui is very capable in the city!

You can never go wrong by asking him for advice.

When Zhang Minghui was drunk, his mind was a little unclear. What he blurted out made Mr. Zheng and his son overjoyed.

"Hey, it's not that difficult. What's the best-selling thing in Sijiu City right now is the college entrance examination materials. Publishing houses are making a lot of money. If you have the channels, you can get some equipment."

"Then I can get a pirated copy of the book and sell it at a lower price. I will definitely make a fortune."

Mr. Zheng's son inherited his father's career and continued to serve as the village chief. After hearing Zhang Minghui's words, his eyes lit up and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

There was a lot of conversation at the table. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhang Minghui and his family went to sleep in a daze.

Zhang Minghui's unintentional words made Zhengjiazhuang prosperous. In the 80s, the whole village started the pirated business.

Pirated books, audio-visual products, tapes, and videotapes, as long as they are popular in the market, will be processed, becoming the largest piracy base in the north.

A large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan songs and audio-visual products were transmitted to the north. In the past, popular things were spread slowly from the south to the north.

Perhaps it would be many years before the North would be exposed to these things. But as Zhengjiazhuang's piracy business continued to grow, the North received information faster and faster.

It's almost the same as in the South.

Huge profits were made within a few years.

Unfortunately, piracy is both the cause of success and the cause of failure. It is useless to have superb skills without real strength.

Such a large market was targeted by several second-generation children, who used various means to check and balance the old Zheng family. Not only did they pay a huge fine, but they also sent people to jail.

In the end, Zhang Minghui came to the rescue out of respect for Mr. Zheng. Of course, this is a story for later.

...

The relaxation in Zhengjiazhuang had a significant effect. After returning, Xuewen and Weihong had obviously relieved their tension. In the following days, they did not compulsively read more materials.

December 7

The college entrance examination came, and on this day, Zhang Minghui and Cheng Lide did not accompany their children to the examination room. They had discussed it before and decided not to accompany them to the examination room, fearing that it would bring a lot of pressure to the two children.

The three consecutive days of college entrance examinations made Zhang Minghui's family anxious. Cheng Siying also brought his wife and children back to the hospital to stay for a few days.

A few years ago, the couple was sent to the Northeast for further studies.

It has been many years since we last met. As Cheng Siying and his wife were recently transferred back to the city, they hurriedly brought their children to visit Cheng Lide and his wife.

The children were so happy to see each other. Cheng Siying gave birth to three children, two boys and one girl, plus Zhang Minghui's four children.

My goodness, the sound of their screaming can be heard in the yard all day long. They are about to tear down the roof and the front and back yards are not enough for them to mess around.

After the college entrance examination, Zhang Minghui and others began to ask about Xuewen and Weihong's test results.

Seeing the two smiling and confident faces, everyone knew that they had done well in the exam.

night

Zhang Minghui saw that Cheng Siyu looked a little unhappy and couldn't help but ask.

"Siyu, what's wrong? I noticed that you looked a little strange just now. Everyone was very happy, so I didn't ask in detail. What happened?"

Cheng Siyu shook her head and spoke with a sob after a long while.

"I can't bear to leave you, head of the family. You said before that you would go to Hong Kong after Xuewen and Weihong finished their exams. I don't know when you will come back after this trip."

Hearing Cheng Siyu's words, Zhang Minghui felt warm in his heart. He walked up to her, took her hand, and spoke softly.

"Siyu, don't worry. I won't be gone for long, just one or two years. I have to send all my brothers over there and settle them down there."

"I'll be back once things are sorted out in Hong Kong Island."

The wealth that Zhang Minghui has accumulated now is enough for his family to live a worry-free life, so there is no need for him to go to Hong Kong.

But the reality is that when the black market was flourishing, it attracted too many people's attention. Zhang Minghui and his gang have been targeted.

Never underestimate the power of the country. If they really want to investigate you, they will definitely find out everything about you. Zhang Minghui didn't know if he had been exposed, but Li Guoyong and some of his brothers were definitely being targeted.

The courtyard where they live has been targeted by the police.

Zhang Minghui had his brothers surrounding the courtyard, so he could get the information first.
