From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

"Okay, okay, you pack here and I'll watch, okay!" Li's mother threw away the things in her hands and stood by the door, but she had no intention of leaving. The weather was cold, and the two children had already been lying on the bed playing. She didn't have to watch the children, so she naturally had time to watch here.

Li Chengye wanted to ask her to rest, but seeing her like this, he knew she would definitely not listen to him, so he could only let her go. Put some unnecessary things back into the cabinet first, and stack the necessary things on the bed. Li Chengye poured out the things in the sack on the ground, and he felt funny in his heart. His mother actually prepared sacks for him to pack his luggage, as if he was moving.

Li Chengye took his suitcase from the cabinet and put a set of cotton-padded clothes, a sweater, and two other sets of clothes in it. Winter clothes are thick, and these few things filled Li Chengye's suitcase. Some other things were put into a handbag, including the notebook given by Mr. Zhou and others.

Seeing that he was about to finish packing so few things, Li's mother, who was standing quietly, couldn't help but said, "It's so cold, you should take some things with you, at least bring a set of cotton pants, and wear two pairs when it's cold." She said that she would take action to get cotton pants for Li Chengye.

Li Chengye hurriedly stopped him, "That's all. We are going to visit someone's factory, not to blow the cold wind in the wild. I won't be frozen. There is really no need to bring so many things."

"Bring more so that you don't have any later!"

"Mom, there is no place, it can't fit." Li Chengye really didn't want to bring so many things.

In the end, Li Chengye still succumbed to the female power of Li's mother and was forced to find a way to stuff the cotton pants into the box. It was already past eight o'clock when the two of them finished packing their things. However, Li's mother did not seem to leave immediately. Instead, she sat on Li Chengye's bed, looking like she was ready to chat.

Li Chengye knew that Li's mother was worried about him, so he naturally sat down and prepared to chat with her for a while.

Before Li Chengye could think of what to say, his mother spoke first, "Son, did your father tell you what our family did a long time ago?"

He asked a strange question, "Isn't my father an orphan?" Otherwise, his family wouldn't have lived so peacefully these years, and there wouldn't be any troubles.

"It was a long time ago, but who is born an orphan?" Li's mother rolled her eyes at him.

Li Chengye was really curious now. In his impression, both his father and mother were orphans, and he had never heard them talk about what happened before they became orphans. "Mom, could it be that my father was the young master of a big family?"

Li Chengye was just joking, after all, he was a young master before, but he found that Li's mother nodded at him seriously.

Li Chengye was really surprised, "He is really the eldest master, so what?"

Mother Li sighed softly, "It's a long story, but your Li family's ancestors were indeed one of the rich families in S City. They operated many factories more than 40 years ago, and they could be said to be a very wealthy family."

Li Chengye's heart moved. More than 40 years ago, the only Li family in S City that could be called a very wealthy family was the Li family he once belonged to. If what Mother Li said was true If so, then this means...

Li Chengye thought of this and rushed to his mother to confirm, "Mom, is the Li family you are talking about the one known as the King of Pharmaceutical Industry in S City?"
