Siheyuan: Since 51

As you enter the gate, on the right is the gatehouse.

Guard Guo Shuaijiang grinned and greeted through the window.

"Brother Lin, you're back. Xiao Qiao went out to buy some fish, chicken, and some fat meat. He said he was going to have a big dinner tonight."

Lin Zhiyuan chuckled and raised his eyebrows jokingly.

"Yes, didn't a family come this afternoon? The one among them, Ice Lump, will be your immediate superior from now on. Before he takes office, you and Xiao Qiao will get him drunk hard. You must knock him down."

"What?"

Guo Shuaijiang's eyes widened and he blurted out, "He is our leader?"

Lin Zhiyuan spread his hands and winked.

"Don't be afraid. Don't miss the opportunity. When he takes office, you and Xiao Qiao won't have a chance anymore."

Guo Shuaijiang pursed his lips and looked sullen.

"I was just questioning them. Do you think he would make things difficult for me?"

"Hahahaha, so we must seize the opportunity and knock him down."

Lin Zhiyuan laughed a few times and walked forward, leaving Guo Shuaijiang struggling.

Facing you is a screen wall. Turn left and you will arrive at the outer courtyard. On the south side is a house where three guards live.

On the north side, in the middle is the Chuihua Gate.

After crossing, you will come to the front yard.

I don’t know how other families distribute their space, but in Lin Zhiyuan’s house, there are three large round tables in the east wing, a square table in the west wing, and a tea table.

On both sides of the hall are guest rooms.

In the words of the brigade commander, from now on, after drinking too much, you can just take a rest.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't dare to refute this request, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Good fellow, if you have such an idea, what about the moon door on the north side of the wing?

It makes sense that our second uncle's house is located to the west and it would be convenient for us to have meals together.

You keep knocking on the Moon Gate and say you're not after my wine collection, but who would believe you?

After passing through the hall, you will reach the central courtyard.

The main house, Lin Zhiyuan and Qin Huairu's bedroom, living room, and study.

The east wing belongs to Lin Shufan and Lin Shuhan, who wants an independent room.

Lin Shuchen and Lin Shuhong, the two brothers in the West Wing, are always inseparable.

At this time, the living room.

Lin Jialiang and Hu Yi were drinking tea, smoking and chatting.

Wu Xia, Qin Huairu, and Bai Sha and her daughter were busy in the east room, which was also the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Zhiyuan started joking.

"Hey, Second Uncle, Xiao Hu can't even get a fart from you two, but you two are still chatting so lively."

Hearing this, Lin Jialiang smiled heartily.

"Xiao Hu doesn't talk much, but he's a good listener. I'll talk to him about the security team."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't ask any further questions, just walked straight forward and sat down.

"Xiao Hu, Xiao Wang is on duty tonight and cannot drink. Xiao Guo and Xiao Qiao, you have to have a good drink no matter what, because they will all be your soldiers in the future. Counting Second Uncle and me, the five of us will not leave until we are drunk."

Hu Yi had no expression on his face and spoke lightly.

"Brother Lin, I don't drink."

Lin Zhiyuan crossed his legs, curled his lips, and glanced at him sideways in annoyance.

"You wish. You must drink tonight. This is an order."

Hu Yi was startled, then reluctantly responded, "Yes."

It's past eight.

There are two tables in the east wing of the front yard.

The women took care of the children, drank Arctic Ocean, and chatted and laughed.

Five grown men were toasting each other, and it was quite lively.

Wu Xia, and even Lin Zhiyuan, wanted Wang Yu to eat with them.

Unexpectedly, the other person was very principled and refused to do so. He insisted on being on duty at the gatehouse, so the food could only be delivered to him separately.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The women had finished their meal and all stood up, ready to go to the living room to chat.

Before leaving, Baisha made a joke.

"Mr. Lin, it's rare for you to get together, so I'll leave Brother Hu to you tonight. It's okay if he doesn't come back."

Lin Zhiyuan laughed.

"Shasha, I wanted to call you that this afternoon, why did you change it back? From now on, just call me brother, do you hear me?"

"okay."

After the women left, the five men immediately lit up cigarettes.

While puffing away at the cigarette, Guo Shuaijiang finally made up his mind and picked up the wine glass.

"Brother Hu, I will follow you in the future. I will give you guidance. I toast you a glass."

Hu Yi frowned slightly, said nothing, clinked glasses, and drank it all.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Bao chuckled.

"Brother Hu, there is also me, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other."

Soon after, Guo Shuaijiang followed.

"Brother Hu, one cup for love, two cups for kindness, and three cups for good brothers."

……

The two of them cooperated well, and Hu Yi was completely knocked down, and experienced the guest room in the front yard of the Lin family.

From then on, Hu Yi became almost terrified at the mention of alcohol.

Two weeks passed in a flash.

Lin Zhiyuan was sitting in the office, reading the newspaper. Bai Sha came forward with a smile on her face.

"Brother Lin, apart from the potential risk of oil, we are basically self-sufficient in other raw materials. Our oil production is not enough and our separation technology is not perfect. Importing oil blindly is not a solution. If the United States blocks the sea route, the impact will be too great."

Lin Zhiyuan took a puff of cigarette and sighed deeply.

"It is indeed a problem. Right now we can only import in large quantities. Wait another two years and the problem will be solved by then. So, remember this for me and tell me again at the beginning of every month."

Baisha took notes and continued reporting.

"Fidel is very interested in meeting with you. He has already sent his brother Raul to leave a few days ago. Due to the delay in the telegram, it is estimated that he will reach Hong Kong Island in a day or two, and Beijing in three days at most."

Lin Zhiyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled.

"Great, you are really sincere. Fidel, who has been assassinated the most times, has already arranged for Raul to be his successor. If he can be sent here, I think this meeting will be smooth."

Baisha smiled.

"You also need to think about it. Yuanda can't spare any extra funds. We already have a lot of light industrial products at home. Purchasing large quantities of sugar and cotton will require a lot of money."

Lin Zhiyuan agreed and nodded. It was such a good plan, but he didn't expect to be short of money. That was really a mess.

"Yeah, I've been worried lately too. I had a good idea, but the brigade commander wasn't happy with it."

Baisha helped to fill the teacup with water and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Lin, there is nothing we can do about it. How could the brigade commander agree to sell you the equipment for the security department? Not to mention, the number of new equipment is not enough to replace all the personnel. We also need to make reserves if we are attacked from all sides."

Lin Zhiyuan tapped the table with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and smacked his lips.

"If the quantity is not enough, just let go and make as many as you can. Holding a bunch of International brand junk will not be a deterrent. So, when is the Security Department meeting soon? I want to attend and persuade them."

"Okay, I'll help you coordinate later."

Baisha smiled slightly, smoothed her hair beside her ear and suggested.

"In fact, we can learn from the principles of futures and communicate the order with Gallic Chicken in advance."

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but shook his head.

"Two years ago, we relied on this trick to establish our light industry. Now, the Russians and the Ukrainians are both at loggerheads with our family. Lucian may not dare to do that. It would not be a good thing for them to offend both parties at once."

After saying that, he leaned back, slowly closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead.

"We can't rely on the brigade commander to give in, so let's give it a try. Maybe it will work, right?"

Baisha raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then I will help you make an appointment with Lucian?"

Lin Zhiyuan raised his hand to block him, "No, it's not a good deal. Please help me to make an appointment with Solovykov. It just so happens that I still have some unfinished business with this Davari."
