It is said that the son's father is the patriarch of a wealthy family

After the battle of Zhongyuan Festival, Yuan Bao became famous in the first battle. Now not only all the children of the Zhang family know his existence, but they are all registered with the adults. Moreover, the fame of Xiao Yuanbao is not due to Zhang Yi This patriarch, Lao Tzu, relies on his own ability.

A fight in ethnology earned him the respect of all the children on the island. In the competition with children outside the island on the beach during the Ghost Festival, he not only crushed all the other children and won the victory of the island faction. , also showed amazing observation and calculation skills in this matter, which surprised everyone, so his name spread like wildfire in the Zhang family, no matter Zhang who has seen him or not Everyone in the family knew of his existence.

Especially after knowing that he is the son of the patriarch, each of them has different thoughts, so the seemingly peaceful Zhang family has countless undercurrents surging underground.

For these, Yuan Bao doesn't know at all, because he has a good father.

Zhang Yi had protected Yuan Bao tightly when he was just emerging. Moreover, Yuan Bao was still young, and he now lives on the island. It is simply impossible for ordinary people to go to the island without Zhang Yi's permission. Didn't you see that his cousin was thrown to the Middle East to suffer after trespassing on the island without authorization? He even called it: exercise!

Shit exercise is hair distribution. Don't you know what the Middle East looks like?As for the wind and sand, as for the heat wave, people who are used to enjoying the blessings in the country really can't stand it, so now the Zhang family will change their faces whenever they talk about the Middle East, because there are board secretaries who have done wrong things, Zhao Zhi, and others. Zhang Houxin and others, yes, those Zhang family children who designed Zhao Zhi before were also thrown by the patriarch, and they were not allowed to come back even for such a major event as worshiping ancestors on the Ghost Festival. It can be seen that such a punishment How heavy.

The well-protected Yuan Bao played carefree every day, and the people who followed him were not simple, so these hidden things did not affect him.

With the end of the Ghost Festival, the Zhang family's big day is also over.

The direct branches of the Zhang family who did not live on the island began to leave the island one after another, some returned to their villas in downtown Qingdao, and some returned to the former headquarters of the Zhang family overseas.

The former mansion of the overseas Zhang family did not give up after Zhang Yi returned to China with his heirs. As a base camp that has been in business for hundreds of years, its status is equally important. Because of the new base camp, it is now changed to After leaving the branch, some Zhang family members who have developed overseas still live there.

Zhang Jing, the second elder brother of Zhang Yi, is now stationed in the overseas branch. Zhang Jingsheng has two sons and a daughter. Although he is stationed overseas, he also owns a villa on the island of Qingdao. Now he lives in this villa. It was his eldest son, Zhang Houchu.

Zhang Houchu single biography, only one son, that is Zhang Hongxun.

Ever since Yuan Bao successfully won the gang of Zhang's children outside the island, Zhang Hongxun followed with all his heart. Although he was still young, he didn't know what to choose or not, but he felt that he was not as smart as Yuan Bao, so he liked to follow the others. Playing behind his back is not only him, but all the children on the island are like this. Since then, Yuan Bao has become a representative of the island faction, or the king of children.

From then on, Yuan Bao lived an extremely happy life.

Dong Hanwu is accompanied by security personnel on the left, Niu Niu and Xiao Shitou are on the right, and behind him are the leaders of the three major children on the island. .

However, this kind of life will not be long, and the ethnology school will open after August [-]th. At that time, they will not have so much freedom. It is estimated that they will be in the ethnology school for a day, but they are still young, and they will not be suppressed. Most of what they learn is playing, and they learn certain knowledge while playing.

The enlightenment of Zhang clan studies is not taught according to some ancient tradition.

Instead, try to keep the children's nature and develop their thinking ability in play and learning. Children not only need to learn these formal knowledge, but also need to learn some small boxing skills to keep fit.

In any age, a good body can lead to a longer life, and in this way, more wealth can be created for the family and the family.

Yuan Bao lives so freely every day, but Li Mu is not so at ease.

After the Hungry Ghost Festival is over, he has confirmed the position of the patriarch's wife. However, after the Hungry Ghost Festival is over, it does not mean that the Zhang family has no other affairs for him to take care of. There are many things like this. For example, all the affairs of the inner house are managed by the patriarch's wife, and it is not limited to these. In addition to managing internal affairs, there are also things that intersect with the outside. For example: a certain uncle of the Zhang family is old and retired Age, you should consider how to provide for the elderly and where to provide for the elderly.

At this time, the patriarch and the patriarch's wife need to cooperate in the use of rights. Zhang Yi redistributes the resource ratio of the other family according to the contribution of the uncle's life, whether the real estate given by the clan needs to be taken back, whether the other party needs the assistance of the clan to separate the family, etc. Wait, after these matters are settled, Li Mu's cooperation is needed for the arrangement of Tang uncle's pension and how the descendants of Tang uncle's family will live in the future.

This is still a major incident within the Zhang family, and there are more minor matters that need to be dealt with by Li Mu. For example, a man from the Zhang family found a mistress outside. Zhang's daughter-in-law can handle the matter of finding a mistress. What should the son do if he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan? This needs to be handled by the patriarch's wife.

Therefore, Li Mu is likely to participate in all major and minor matters within the Zhang family. The scope of his management is much larger than that of ordinary companies. Fortunately, he still has a few helpers. Fair ladies and gentlemen, I guess he'd be bored to death.

As his position in the Zhang family became more stable, Zhang Yi also arranged for him some manpower, which could be used reasonably while protecting his safety. He uses whatever he is capable of.

For example, Sun Jie is not only Li Mu's guard captain, but also his helper. In addition to Sun Jie, there is also a person named Shi Qing who also follows him. He is his right-hand man. This Shi Qing is Yuan Bao's friend Shi Chen My father, so, sometimes choosing a person may be just a little chance.

And Shi Qing took advantage of his son.

Shi Qing is an honest and stable person with abilities, but he just lacks a little opportunity. He has been working in the Zhang Group before, but he has not made much achievements. The main reason is that there are too many talents in the Zhang Group. People inside the Zhang family, as well as talents from outside, among so many talents, those who are not very good at speaking lack a little opportunity.

Shi Qing's father is an old man of Zhang Yi's father's generation. He is a very courageous and capable person. Because of Mr. Shi's achievements, his family can live on the island, and now he chooses to follow Yuan Bao because of his son, so, Only then can he get a chance to stand out.

Opportunity and success always go hand in hand.

In addition to Sun Jie and Shi Qing, Li Mu also took in two young assistants in the Zhang family. They are both juniors of the family. Although they are not mature enough, they have enough drive. It is a small company, and the young people and their families are grateful for such an opportunity to exercise.

Invisibly, Li Mu also bought a lot of hearts in the Zhang family.

Originally, after the Ghost Festival was over, Zhang Yi was going to upload the family tree to Li Mu. However, he had to go abroad to attend a meeting on a big overseas project and wait until he came back.

After Zhang Yi went abroad, it happened to be Saturday, and it was Zhou Ping's turn to rest. Li Mu thought of the director of the orphanage he met a few days ago, so he planned to take this opportunity to visit the children in the orphanage, and Wu Yue also came. So the three packed up and went to the suburbs of Qingdao.

This time Li Mu did not take Yuan Bao out. Since the old dean passed away, he has not been back. One reason is that there are no familiar people in the courtyard, and the other is that Yuan Bao is still young and cannot live without people, so it is inconvenient for him take the kids.

Even after he opened a homestay and lived well, he didn't bring Yuanbao there because he didn't want Yuanbao to be exposed to these things when he was young. Although he himself came out of an orphanage, he still wanted to wait until the child was older and fully He will take the child back with his outlook on life, but he is worried about the child when he leaves Yuanbao alone. Therefore, it is the first time for the old director to return to the orphanage after so many years of his death.

Not to mention Zhou Ping, who left the country as soon as he graduated from university. Even when Li Mu gave birth to the ingot, he didn't know about it, and he didn't come back, let alone when the old dean passed away. After that, he immediately joined Zhang's overseas group company after graduation. The chances of returning to China are limited. It was only when he accompanied Secretary Dong and Zhang Yi back to Qingdao at the beginning of this year that he took time to pay homage to the old home. long.

Today is also the first time he has returned to the orphanage in recent years.

The closer the car was to the orphanage, the words between Li Mu and Zhou Ping gradually became less and less. They remembered the little things in the orphanage, and it was because of this orphanage that they could grow up.

They are very grateful for the companionship and love of the old dean, which is why they haven't lost money every year for so many years.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Although the two of Li and Mu are still not up to the standard of 'reaching', when they are able, they still give back to this place that brought them peace in childhood and youth, because this is their home.

The convoy moved slowly through the city to the suburbs.

From the first tall and fashionable buildings to beautiful single-family houses, the vehicles have also entered the peaceful countryside from the bustling. The suburbs of Qingdao are beautiful and beautiful. It is the season of rice ripening in mid-August. It won’t be long before these grains It's ready to harvest.

The vehicle circled and walked up the mountain. The orphanage was built on the middle of the mountain. Looking out from the car window, the rice on both sides of the mountain was changing from green to yellow. In the mountain wind, there were waves after waves, high mountains, canyons, green Trees, flowers, all this makes people feel like living in a fairy tale world.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing. Although everyone was not talkative, the sudden silence made people a little uncomfortable, so Wu Yue said, "I didn't expect the suburbs of Qingdao to be so beautiful. The scenery here is very good." In fact, he knew that Li Mu and Zhou Ping didn't speak out because they were sad, but because they were too close to their hometown and didn't know what to say, so he entrusted this task to him, and he was responsible for enlivening the atmosphere.

"Yes, the scenery is pretty good. It was even better a few years ago. Now there are more and more houses on both sides of the road. When we were young, there were no houses around here. It was very empty. Even the villages were far away from the orphanage. And when we were young, we liked to sneak out of the orphanage at night to play in this fertile field, because there are fish and frogs in it, hehe..." Hearing Wu Yue's words, Zhou Ping couldn't help expressing his sigh.

The joyful tone instantly made Li Mu get rid of the little redundant thoughts in his mind, so he also said happily: "Return the frog! Senior, let me tell you, Zhou Ping was afraid of frogs when he was a child." Speaking of this, even more He couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the dull atmosphere in the car was swept away.

Zhou Ping looked at Li Mu's smiling face helplessly and connivingly, and smiled awkwardly.

"Afraid of frogs?" Wu Yue was surprised. Frogs are not considered disgusting, so why are there people afraid of frogs, so he asked.

Li Mu explained without hesitation: "When we were young, one night, the two of us sneaked out of the yard together with a few older children. We planned to go to the field to find some fish to roast, but we didn't expect to meet a frog. Zhou Ping was so frightened by the frog that he couldn't walk, if I hadn't been with him, he would have been able to lie on the ground for one night." Thinking of the embarrassing things he had done when he was a child, he couldn't help being happy.

"Why is this happening!" Wu Yue was even more surprised. In this day and age, it is possible to be afraid of spiders, snakes or insects, but there are still people who are afraid of frogs. How amazing.

Zhou Ping, who was exposed by Li Mu, blushed.

He simply argued: "I'm not afraid of frogs at all now. Wasn't I still young at that time, firstly, I had never seen what a frog looks like, and secondly, there were no children to teach us how to recognize it. Run out, besides, I can't see anything in the dark, it just jumped on my feet, it's cold, and it still has water, it doesn't scare me to death!"

"Yes, yes, it's all their fault, but if I hadn't helped you, I guess you'd have to lie down all night, and you'd have to cast a psychological shadow." Li Mu taunted while expressing his merits.

It looked like there was a story, Wu Yue couldn't hold back, and asked, "Tell me about it."

Seeing the senior was quite curious, so Li Mu said with Zhou Ping's acquiescence: "We were all very young back then, I was five years old, and Zhou Ping was only eight years old. It was night, there was nothing but a little moonlight, and the frog jumped suddenly. I came out and jumped over his feet. He was really frightened. He sat on the ground and couldn’t walk at all. The other children ran away for fear of taking responsibility. I definitely couldn’t leave him there alone, so I could only accompany him. It's not a problem for him to just stay, so he can only think of a way." Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing again.

Seeing this, Zhou Ping could only continue to add: "Senior, you don't know how cruel Xiao Mu was back then. He actually caught frogs and let me eat them. He knew that I was terrified, but he even caught several frogs to scare me. , not only scared me but also made me eat them all, and I actually ate them as he said!" After finishing speaking, he showed an incredible expression on his face.

I don't know whether it was Mimi who ate the frog himself or Mimi overcame his fear of frogs.

"Hehe, why did I scare you?" The more he listened, the more interesting it became. Wu Yue couldn't imagine that Li Mu had such a mischievous side when he was young, so he asked.

"At that time, Xiao Mu was only five years old, and he was a little older than the current Yuan Bao. It was dark at night, and there was no light, only a little moonlight. He was not afraid. He just squatted in the field and touched it. , five big frogs, and then picked up their hind legs and came back, fuck, I almost went crazy back then, you know, he put all the frogs on me, I was really scared to cry gone."

"Haha." Li Mu laughed loudly, and explained at the same time: "I'm not fighting poison with poison. Since you're so scared, then let you be more afraid. When you get too scared, forget about being afraid. Look, my method still works. Well, at least you are no longer afraid of frogs now, not only are you not afraid, but you also love to eat frogs, hehe..."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, but let alone, that method really worked back then. At that time, I was almost scared to death. Later, when I thought about it, I was so grateful to die like this, and it was so suffocating. Qu Ye was too ugly, so I didn't want to die, and I wasn't afraid anymore. After I thought about it, my body could move slowly, and I came back with such courage. At night, we were both cold and hungry, so we decided to let go. I found some firewood and roasted those few frogs and ate them. Since I finished eating the frogs, I am no longer afraid of frogs."

Hearing this, Wu Yue really found it unbelievable, and at the same time felt that these two children were really brave, so he asked: "It's so scary, it might scare people to death. Weren't you afraid of accidents at that time?"

"I don't expect so much, they are all children in orphanages, and they don't have much chance to learn. At that time, there were some weird TV shows or movies on TV. Everyone didn't know much, so they didn't have common sense. " Li Mu said with a sigh.

"You guys are really lucky." Wu Yue also sighed.

You know, the medical conditions were not that good at that time, and the two children were in the wild again. If they were really frightened, they might die, and they were blessed by their great ancestors.

"Haha, maybe it's a cheap life, but God won't accept it." Although Li Mu had a free and easy smile on his face, his expression was still a bit sad.

Every orphan has an attachment to his life experience, and not pursuing it does not mean relief.

Seeing Li Mu's expression was a little bit bad, Zhou Ping quickly held his hand and said, "Xiao Mu, don't think so much, look, how beautiful our life is now, having brothers, friends, and ingots, that's enough , let them regret going.”

"Yes, thinking about the lovely Yuan Bao, I think it's enough to have a continuation of life." Wu Yue also comforted, but he didn't reach out to shake Li Mu's hand. Since the other party had a family, he had to avoid suspicion, after all He is also a gay man.

Faced with the consolation from his good friend and brother, Li Mu smiled relievedly: "It's okay, I'm just a little upset, let me sigh, it's really okay."

The three of them looked at each other and then laughed.

In fact, everyone's life experience is the same, there is really nothing to compare, is it more miserable!

Not yet.

The vehicle went up the mountain road, and the relaxed topic resumed in the car. Several people were talking and laughing, but they arrived at the orphanage within ten minutes.

The plaque on the orphanage reads: 'Yunqi Orphanage'.

The appearance of 'Yunqi' is not bad, simple and elegant, it is still the same as when the old dean was alive, and it is also a place that Li Mu and Zhou Ping have been familiar with since they were young. As soon as they arrived at the door, they felt the friendly atmosphere.

This is an old yard. The yard is not very big, but it is not too small either. It covers an area of ​​over a thousand square meters. There is a big tree growing in the yard, and its huge canopy can be seen from the outside. Well, although this orphanage is not too small, due to its geographical location, unless it is developed into a resort, it is really worthless.

Today, Li Mu and the others did not notify Dean Jia in advance, because they were also impromptu, but even so, the gifts for the children in the orphanage are still prepared, food, play, clothes, school supplies, etc. For the Zhang family, it was just a matter that could be done in minutes, so even if they came here temporarily, they didn't appear to be in a hurry.

The vehicle finally stopped at the gate of the orphanage and did not drive in.

Li Mu was a little puzzled. He remembered that the gate was very big, and the vehicles that came to donate things to the orphanage used to drive directly inside. Why can't it be today.

Not long after he was puzzled, the driver turned around and explained: "Brother Li, there are several cars blocking the road ahead, and our car can't get in."

Although Li Mu is not very old, people in the Zhang family now either call him according to his seniority, or just call him "brother", because as a male patriarch's wife, he can't be called "Ms. Li". , I guess Li Mu has to beat someone up!

Hearing that there was a vehicle blocking the way, Li Mu nodded, and then said to Wu Yue and the others: "I guess it's a kind person who came to donate things. Since the vehicle can't get in for the time being, let's go in and have a look. I haven't seen it for many years." When I came back, I don’t know if there is any change inside.”

"Okay, let's go down for a walk and take a look at the children's current living conditions by the way. Although our life here is not very good, it is also because of the conditions, and the old dean tries to feed us as much as possible. Dress warmly and allow us to go to school. I am very grateful to him. If he hadn’t done this for us, his body wouldn’t have suffered so early. If he could wait a few more years, maybe we can be filial now. Respect his old man." Zhou Ping was a little sad as he spoke.

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and didn't say much, everyone was in the same mood.

"Okay, then let's go in and have a look." Wu Yue also got out of the car.

At this time, there was no one guarding the gate of the orphanage. Faced with such a situation, Li Mu and Zhou Ping frowned. It shouldn’t be. The orphanage was not like this in the past. No matter how difficult it was, there were guards. It's too unsafe now. There are not only older children in the yard, but also some younger children. Children don't know what danger is. If they walk out of this safe gate, although there are few vehicles on the road, they will not No, if something really happened, who would be responsible.

They didn't see Dean Jia, the person in charge of the orphanage, and Li Mu and the others couldn't say anything. They were shocked when they bypassed the vehicles blocking the gate and entered the yard. What's going on with the people in this yard? Not because there is no one, but because everyone is deadlocked.

As soon as they entered the door, they heard the faint choked cry of a child.

Hearing the crying, not only Zhou Ping couldn't help it, but Li Mu was full of anger.

The scene at this time is too worrying!

I saw several children in the back of a forklift truck, the oldest child was only eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was even smaller, probably about the size of Yuanbao. Those children were weeping softly in the back of the car, their voices were not loud, like kittens, which was the sequelae of crying for a long time.

In front of the forklift is a group of children, big and small. The oldest and tallest child stands in the front, and behind him are all the children. The children block the front of the forklift with their bodies. Don't let the other person move forward.

And behind them is a building, an old building on the first floor.

That building is also the building where Li Mu and the others lived since they were young, and there are memories of their childhood and youth in the building.

No one can bear this situation, even Wu Yue, an outsider, is so angry and inhumane, no matter what the reason is, can't they discuss it carefully, have to force it, or force a group of helpless people Powerful children?

Just a few seconds after Li Mu and the others entered the door, the forklift actually started, and it drove straight forward. There was a group of children in front of it. It was completely disregarding the lives of the children. About to hit the oldest child, all the children burst into tears.

"stop!"

Li Mu yelled violently, his lungs almost exploded.
