I'm back in 1990

Chapter 461: A House Full of Children and Grandchildren

When they saw Lao Huang return, his family members all stood up to greet him.

"dad!"

"Dad, you're back!"

"dad!"

Zeng Lijuan was a little annoyed with Lao Huang for being late: "Why were you gone for so long? Couldn't you have come back sooner? If I hadn't asked Xiao Chuan to call you, you don't know when you would have been back!"

Knowing he was indeed a bit late, Lao Huang chuckled and said, "I wasn't paying attention to the time while we were chatting. Dinner hasn't even started yet. I timed it perfectly."

In front of her son and daughter-in-law, Zeng Lijuan didn't argue with Lao Huang, but just glared at him with dissatisfaction.

Seeing that no one answered his previous question, Old Huang asked again, "What were you doing just now?"

At this moment, Jiang Rong showed the envelope that Huang Xiaochuan had given her to Lao Huang.

"Dad! Xiaochuan gave Mianmian 10,000 shares of stock."

Huang Erhe quickly added, "I also gave it to my little Maowa."

Upon learning that his youngest son had given gifts to his two nephews, Old Huang nodded. Although his youngest son was the youngest, he was very capable in both dealing with people and business.

"Really! That's great! Since it was given to you by Xiaochuan, you should accept it without worry."

Once everyone had arrived, Zeng Lijuan instructed the family's nanny, "Dongmei, dinner is ready!"

"Okay, Sister Zeng!"

Today is the most complete gathering of the Huang family ever; apart from Huang Dahai, three generations of the family are all gathered in this old villa.

Looking at his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter, Old Huang felt incredibly satisfied and happy.

He asked his second and youngest sons, "Erhe and Xiaochuan, would you two like to have a drink with me tonight?"

At this moment, Zeng Lijuan mocked Lao Huang: "Have a drink? Don't you know how much you can drink?"

Old Huang's face darkened slightly: "It's rare for the whole family to be here today, I'm happy, what's wrong with having a few drinks to liven things up? Let me tell you, I know my own limits, I don't need you to remind me."

As the couple gets older, Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan often bicker, which Huang Xiaochuan has long been used to.

He stood up to smooth things over: "It's alright, it's alright, Dad's right. We're happy today, so we have to have a little. Besides, my dad's alcohol tolerance is much better than before. But Dad, Mom isn't against you drinking, she's just worried about your health. Alright, today's a happy day, we have to have some good wine. Dad, what kind of wine do you want to drink tonight? I'll go get it!"

Knowing that his youngest son didn't drink baijiu, Old Huang said, "We should drink something good. There's an 80-year-old Wuliangye in the basement. That'll be it tonight. Bring two bottles up."

"Okay! 80-year-old Wuliangye it is." Huang Xiaochuan quickly got up and went to the basement.

The houses on Sinan Road don't have basements, so most of the wine was stored in the basement of this old villa. Huang Xiaochuan only took a small portion with him.

Seeing Huang Xiaochuan stand up, Huang Erhe also stood up: "I'll go with you!"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Come on! I'll show you the way. You can get whatever you want to drink while you're staying here."

As soon as the basement door opened, a strong smell of alcohol wafted out.

Once inside the basement, Huang Erhe's eyes couldn't take it all in. Good heavens, this isn't a basement at all! It's a huge wine cellar!

The basement, which is over 100 square meters, is divided into three spaces by the walls, but none of them have doors. You can see the contents of the rooms clearly. The largest room is filled with cases of Moutai and Wuliangye liquor, and the smallest room is also filled with cases of liquor. There are many brands, but they are all famous domestic liquors.

The last room had rows of shelves reaching the ceiling, neatly arranged with various famous wines according to their brands.

Upon closer inspection, Huang Erhe noticed labels on the shelf indicating the vintage of the wine.

Seeing Huang Erhe looking at the labels, Huang Xiaochuan told him, "This was done by our dad. You know he likes to collect wine."

After calming himself down, Huang Erhe nodded, then exclaimed, "I never expected you to have so much good wine at home!"

Huang Xiaochuan found the place where Wuliangye was displayed with ease, and took two bottles of 80 Wuliangye from it according to the label, and then checked the production date.

Then he called to Huang Erhe, "Go upstairs first! You'll be staying here for a while, so you have plenty of time to look around and see what kind of wine you like. You can take a few cases with you when you go back."

"Isn't this Dad's wine? If we take his wine without telling him, he might get angry." Huang Erhe knew how much his father treasured these wines.

"Where are his wines? I bought the rest. Take whichever one you like." Huang Xiaochuan pointed to a shelf of wines and then to the wines piled up in the largest room.

Huang Erhe smiled and said, "We'll see!"

Then she reached out her hand to Huang Xiaochuan and said, "Shall I get the wine?"

"Okay!" Huang Xiaochuan handed the two bottles of wine to Huang Erhe.

As they walked and talked, Xiao Chuan said, "I really didn't expect you to have changed so much!"

As they walked and talked, Xiao Chuan said, "I really didn't expect you to have changed so much!"

"Really? Well, I've had a few opportunities, I'll tell you about them when I have time."

When the two returned to the restaurant, the whole family was already seated. Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying were less than eight months old and were being fed milk from bottles in their cradles.

Huang Zemian is over three years old and has his own special seat, while Maowa is held on Zeng Lijuan's lap. After half a day of getting to know each other, Maowa has accepted this grandma.

Seeing how much Zeng Lijuan doted on Maowa, Fan Yingrong felt very pleased. Touching the envelope in her pocket, she felt even more certain that coming to Shanghai was the right decision.

Before the banquet even started, Zeng Lijuan gave another card to Fan Yingrong.

"Yingrong, this is what your father and I gave to Maowa. Mianmian, Xiaodong, and Xiaoduo each received 100,000 yuan, and this is Maowa's 100,000 yuan. Please keep it for him."

Fan Yingrong was stunned for a moment, then happily took the bank card from Zeng Lijuan. Fortunately, she didn't get too excited and didn't forget to thank Zeng Lijuan and Lao Huang!

"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!"

As he spoke, he nudged Huang Erhe gently with his elbow.

Huang Erhe immediately realized what was happening and thanked his parents, saying, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

At this moment, Zeng Lijuan urged, "Alright, hurry up and start eating, the food's getting cold!"

Looking at his large family of children and grandchildren, Old Huang was overjoyed. He even had an extra drink that night, and unsurprisingly, he got drunk again.

Seeing this, Zeng Lijuan complained a few times in displeasure.

"You can't drink, yet you insist on drinking. Don't you even know how old you are?"

Seeing their father pass out after just three cups of wine, Huang Xiaochuan and Huang Erhe suppressed their laughter and helped him onto the bed. Huang Xiaochuan then persuaded their elderly mother, who was preparing to take care of their father.

"Mom! Dad's in a good mood today, just let him be, he'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Zeng Lijuan rolled her eyes at her youngest son, annoyed: "You don't need to serve me tonight, do you?"

Well! His mother was about to lose her temper. Huang Xiaochuan smiled sheepishly and quickly pulled Huang Erhe downstairs with him.

Old Huang got drunk. After the women finished eating, they took their children and left the table to chat together, leaving only the two brothers at the table to continue drinking.

Huang Erhe then brought up the topic of getting the wine from the basement.

Huang Xiaochuan said succinctly, "The summer after I was admitted to university, I unintentionally helped my uncle close a foreign trade deal and earned some commission. Then, while helping my uncle contact foreign trade in Shanghai, I accidentally discovered that many people were speculating on stamps, so I followed suit and did it a few times, and I made money again."

Later, when I went to university, I studied economics. In class, the teacher asked us to learn about stocks. It just so happened that the Shanghai Stock Exchange was established that year, and at the beginning of the following year, I encountered stock subscription certificates. In just a few rounds, I made more money than most people could earn in several lifetimes.

Later, I met many more people and business partners, and then the economy boomed. Basically, everything I did made money. Coupled with inflation, my investments grew, creating a virtuous cycle, like a snowball rolling downhill, getting bigger and bigger.

Huang Erhe was listening to a storyteller. He had only heard his mother tell him about his younger brother's stock trading, but his mother, Zeng Lijuan, didn't know the specifics. He only learned the general situation after hearing his brother's story today. To be honest, Huang Erhe was quite envious of his brother; his luck was simply incredible.

If Huang Xiaochuan could read minds, he would definitely agree with Huang Erhe's idea. They've been reborn, isn't that incredible luck?

Fan Yingrong originally wanted to ask Huang Erhe what he had talked about with his brother-in-law that night, but Huang Erhe had drunk too much and fell asleep before he could say more than a few words. Fan Yingrong was so angry that she hit Huang Erhe a few times, but Huang Erhe didn't react at all and instead started snoring.
