Dad also wants to show off, so take it out and show it to your two uncles. I obediently opened the painting bucket and took out the rice paper. Because the painting was too big, I had no choice but to fold it twice in the middle. Dad quickly cleared the things on the big conference table, and then spread the paintings on it. The three people present were all bright-eyed when they saw it. My father said,"The painting is not bad." My uncle said,"This is not good at all. This is a bit like a master." When Xiaobei had time, he also painted a picture for his uncle's office. I heard that you also wrote the calligraphy for your father's office. It's really good. You, a medical student, actually managed to achieve both calligraphy and painting. I responded with a smile,"Uncle, just laugh at me. You want to say that I am not serious about my career."

Dad put away the painting, and I will find someone to frame it tomorrow. Dad took a look at the gold watch I bought for him on his wrist. It’s time to get off work. Let’s go home. Your mother made it a point to get off work early today. She said I'm making something delicious for you.

My old man in our family, like all parents in the world, loves to show off how good his children are.

I said goodbye to my two uncles and went home with my dad. Dad looked very happy all the way and told me, did you see your Uncle Liu’s face just now (Uncle Liu is the one who drank with Dad).

Dad said, your stupid son, Uncle Liu, has been in the hospital for almost a year and can't stay in any department for long. Even now he can't see a doctor independently. He always makes mistakes when asked to go to the pharmacy to get medicine. He doesn't know how to study in medical school. He still can't understand what you could do when you were five years old. I think if it doesn't work, I can ask him to go to the logistics department. I think he has no chance of becoming a doctor. I'm just listening. I'd better not interfere in matters between adults.

When I got home, my mother had already bought the vegetables and was busy in the kitchen. I went into the house and changed my shoes, took off my coat and went into the kitchen to help. As soon as my mother saw me entering the kitchen, she coaxed me out,"Come out quickly, I can do it myself, don't get covered in oil fumes." I smiled and said, Mom, I'll help you. I'm not afraid of oily fumes. I just need to go back and wash it after getting it on.

Seeing that I really wanted to help, my mother gave me a bag of vegetables, picked them out, and washed them. My mother and I were chatting while we were busy. After changing clothes, my father came into the house and saw me helping in the kitchen. He was still happy because his son was becoming more and more sensible. My mother made four dishes and one soup, all of which are her specialties. When we sat down to eat, my mother and father said,"You see my son is getting more and more sensible. He cut all the dishes today, so I fried them."

Dad said, Xiaobei, if it’s hard to live outside, just move back here. Now Dad is thinking about it. You should pursue your dreams when you are young. Just do whatever you want. If you have any difficulties, tell your parents and we will help you if we can. Mom looked at you with a smile, that means you are happy, your dad can understand you now.

After dinner, I rushed to wash the bowls and sat down to eat some fruit and drink a cup of tea with my parents. Dad said, I have applied for patent protection for the prescription you gave me last time. I contacted several of your uncles who own pharmaceutical factories. They all think it can be produced and they are all good medicines. I told my dad that I have a few ancient prescriptions that are inspired by Qi Xue. I will write them to you later. If possible, apply for these patents in your name, dad, which will be more authoritative. If I can save more people, I have done my best as a medical student. Dad nodded and said yes, Dad understands.

I happily returned to the store. The three of them had already finished dinner. Lao Hu was still waiting for me. The two of them had gone back to their rooms.

Because it is almost the end of the year, the winter in Beijing is not very cold at this time. Fortunately, the radiator was installed when the house was renovated. When winter comes, a lot of coal is brought in and piled up in the backyard. After winter, all the work of burning the boiler in the yard is done by the fat man. The old fat man and I even laughed and said that at the end of the year, I should give the fat man more bonuses. It’s the end of the year and all major units are settling their accounts. I also took stock of the accounts in my store. It’s actually very simple, because we own the house, we don’t hire anyone, we don’t spend much, and I own most of the items. Yes, there is really nothing to calculate. We just divided the money from selling the things we got from going to the fields. Li Chunlai also bought more than half of the box of things. Calculated to be over one million, we can just divide the money directly without deducting any costs. It is a no-cost business....

I went to the bank, withdrew 750,000 in cash, and found the three of them. Two hundred and fifty thousand were divided between each person. My money came from Li Chunlai’s recent sale of the box of things. It’s the end of the year and you have a lot of expenses. Let’s divide this first so that you can celebrate the New Year. The fat man said with a smile, this is another income. I told Fatty that there should be a certain amount of money spent. When you have extra money, buy more houses and gold. Don’t wait until you get old and live in vain.

Lao Hu said, don't worry, I manage most of his money for him, and we also have investments. See you have been buying houses. We also bought some and rented them out. Now all we spend every month is rent.

The little brother who got the money pushed it back to me. You can take care of mine, and I can ask for it from you. I smiled and said yes, I will take care of it for you. If you need it, just ask me for it.

I withdrew the money in the morning and deposited it back to the bank in the afternoon. The bank manager said,"You go out with your left hand and go in with your right hand." I replied that I have several partners in my store, and it’s the end of the year, so the accounts are divided.

Ms. Yang called us and asked when we planned to go to Yunnan. I told her that we decided to go in March after the New Year. She said she understood and she would come after the New Year.

It was the New Year in February, and many of the people we interacted with sent New Year gifts. Jin Beile gave us cigarettes and alcohol directly, Manager Zhao gave us gas coupons, and the bank manager also gave us rice and noodles. Since we didn't open fire either, I just took them home. Lao Hu and Fatty didn't have any objections, because they divided the cigarettes and alcohol between them.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon and everyone is busy. We saw that the room was also being tidied up. I asked how to do it. Old Hu and Fatty were both silent, and the little brother was even more silent. I had no choice but to find four idle aunties on the street and gave them ten or forty yuan to clean it up.

I went home during the Chinese New Year. After dinner, I carried a lot of red paper and gold powder home. My father gave me the task of writing couplets. When Lao Hu saw the amount of red paper I brought back, he asked in surprise,"Is your father going to do wholesale?" I said with a sad face, this is what my father promised to others. There are so many. I have to write until when. Fortunately, they have ordered everything I want to write. Otherwise, if I think about so many couplets, my head will break out. Smokey. While I was lying on the sofa sighing, Lao Hu also took out the cut red paper and wrote a few pictures for me, and I took it home. Now I want to die. If Lao Hu can't do it, I'll teach you how to write. You can write it yourself in the future. Lao Hu shook his head and said no. There are already people who don't need it. I won't do it myself. I'm thinking now, it's good that the fat man has no family, and neither does the little brother, otherwise I would have to write a lot more.

There is no way, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, and I have to finish writing everything before the New Year and send it out, so I can only write it resignedly. This job is more tiring than tomb robbing, and there is no money to be made.
