Four years passed in the blink of an eye.
In June 1936, on the runway of Beitai Airport, a shiny silver twin-engine all-metal monocoque aircraft landed gracefully.
The Mercedes car that had been waiting aside for a long time quickly arrived.
Next to the plane, Chen Zikun and his eldest son Chen Bei jumped out of the car and looked at the propellers that were still whirring with interest.
"Two 900-horsepower Curtiss-Wright engines, with a speed of 160 miles per hour, can carry thirty passengers.
This is the world's most advanced Douglas DC3 passenger aircraft."
Xiaobei reported the details of the aircraft like a treasure trove, It seems that he is already familiar with it.
Xiaobei is only fifteen years old, and his height is already close to that of Chen Zikun.
It’s no wonder that since both his parents are tall, their children will naturally be taller as well.
However, he still doesn’t like to study.
He likes to dance with guns and sticks, especially flying airplanes.
He holds a pilot's license at a young age.
"This child will follow me."
Chen Zikun always said this.
His eldest son is his pride.
Like any father who hopes that his son will succeed, he has made a life plan for his son.
After he turns 18, he will go to study in the United States, regardless of whether he can get a degree. , first coat it with gold, and then let him become a pilot because his son likes to fly airplanes.
DC3 slowly stopped, the gangway was lowered, and Mu Yichen and his wife walked down.
"Old Chen, your mustache is quite impressive."
Mu Yichen adjusted his glasses and joked, "How about it?
I brought the plane back to you, how can you thank me?
You know, even American Airlines We can’t even get them in stock, the aircraft are in extremely short supply, and the Douglas aircraft manufacturer is working overtime to meet demand.”
Chen Zikun said: "The fact that I can get the spot is not due to you, but because the Pacino family in New York made a statement.
They had to sell it to old man Anthony to save face."
Xiao Bei couldn't wait to get on the plane to play.
Chen Zikun shrugged, lit a cigar, and continued chatting with Mu Yichen.
The two discussed the economic recovery of the United States, the effects of Roosevelt's New Deal, Keynesianism and the upcoming 1936 The Berlin Olympics finally talked about the situation in North China.
Rehe fell three years ago.
The 29th Army fought a battle with the Japanese at Xifengkou, which finally stopped the Japanese from going south.
The Ho-Mei Agreement was nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst.
Japan is eyeing it.
Sooner or later we will fight again.
"The situation in North China is tense.
As the saying goes, we are not afraid of being swallowed by whales, but of being cannibalized."
Chen Zikun sighed.
Mu Yichen said: "It seems that your fourth wife is teaching at Peking University.
Why don't you transfer her here?
There is also a university in Beitai."
Chen Zikun said: "Lin Wenjing's younger brother is studying at Peking University.
She also likes the atmosphere in Beijing.
It is always good for women to do some things.
It is not beautiful to get together to quarrel and bicker."
Mu Yichen said: "Speaking of this, I would like to ask you how you manage the four ladies.
My wife has a big head."
Che Qiuling came over with a smile and said, "What are you talking about?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
You are so excited."
Mu Yichen said hurriedly: "We are talking about legal currency.
By the way, Old Chen, the Ministry of Finance stipulates that only the four major banks can issue legal currency.
Wouldn't your Jiangdong Industrial Bank suffer a big loss?"
Chen Zikun said: "Of course I can't give in.
Fortunately, Ziwen helped and promised to accept Jiangdong bills in proportion.
Although it cannot issue banknotes, Jiangdong Industrial Bank is still the best commercial bank in the country.
The stock price is strong.
Do you want to buy some?
New shares will be issued next month, and I’ll save some for you.”
The two were chatting and laughing, and seemed to have endless things to say.
Che Qiuling looked at the Patek Philippe on her wrist and said angrily, "I'm already hungry if I don't leave yet."
Chen Zikun quickly got on the plane, grabbed his son off, opened the door and asked the guests to get in.
He sat in the passenger seat, and the motorcade headed straight to downtown Beitai.
Mu Yichen looked at the scenery outside the window.
The French plane trees on the road were lush and green, and there was a large camphor tree under the embankment.
The whole city was shrouded in misty green, and several unique red brick villas were looming, which was particularly elegant.
"After Beitai was upgraded to a city, urban construction has been better.
It almost gave me an illusion."
Mu Yichen said.
"It feels like you are on Xiafei Road in the French Concession, doesn't it?"
Chen Zikun said with a smile, "You are not the only one to say this.
In fact, the design of the city is based on the European urban style.
I have two people to thank here.
The designer is my wife Lin Wenjing. , the builder is Mayor Xiao.”
Mu Yichen said: "Xiao Lang has become the mayor.
It's not bad.
Technocrats are in short supply right now.
I will come to Jiangdong Province to be the mayor of your country sometime."
Chen Zikun smiled and said, "Okay."
The car was speeding, and the shadows of the trees were retreating rapidly.
As they were talking and laughing, they arrived at Jiangwan Villa.
A banquet had been held at home.
Che Qiuling took out the gifts brought from the United States and distributed them to everyone, one for each person.
No one could miss it.
Chen Zikun's Adopted son Chen Nan is six years old.
After a long period of diagnosis and treatment, his valgus feet have been corrected and his deafness has also improved.
After wearing a hearing aid, he can hear others talking.
The little guy is very introverted and quiet like a girl.
After eating, the children started making noises about going hunting.
Mu Yichen asked curiously: "Where can we go hunting?
Are there any hunting grounds near Beitai?"
Chen Zikun said: "Northern Thailand has developed industry, with mines and railways everywhere.
Where can we find prey?
The hunting grounds are in the Daqingshan area to the west of Nantai.

There are deep mountains and old forests.
There are many pheasants, rabbits and foxes.
If you are lucky, you can even encounter tigers."
Mu Yichen suddenly became interested: "Really, I'll go too."
In the early days of Daqingshan, bandits were raging, and ordinary people would not dare to go hunting in the mountains.
Now South Thailand is peaceful and prosperous, and bandits have long become history.
There are abundant wild animals in the mountains, and there are endless prey.
Chen Zikun and his party drove from Northern Thailand.
Set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
The Chen family has always maintained the tradition of weekly target shooting, but it has been upgraded from fixed targets to live targets, so that every member of the family is a sharpshooter, even Yan'er is no exception.
Chen Zikun customized a pink gun for her The .22 caliber sporting rifle carried by the support has minimal recoil and high accuracy, which is more than enough for hunting wild rabbits and the like.
The adults used imported Winchester double-barreled shotguns, the children used small-caliber sporting rifles, and the guards were equipped with automatic rifles to deal with possible ferocious beasts.
It is said to be hunting, but in fact it is just nonsense.
The women wear hunting clothes, boots, and peaked caps.
They are dressed very professionally, but they can only hunt cans by the river.
They would never dare to go into the mountains to hunt wild rabbits.
Even Xia Xiaoqing She has no such interest.
She has been practicing concealed weapons since she was a child.
She doesn’t need to be taught how to play guns.
She says she will shoot you in the left eye but not in the right eye.
Since she entered the Chen family, she has always been a champion in target shooting.
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing also lost their lives.
Positivity.
Only Chen Zikun and his son really came here for hunting.
Hunting pheasants in the forest could no longer satisfy their interest.
They found a few mountain people from nearby villages who often went into the mountains to cut firewood and collect herbs as guides.
The father and son brought a few pheasants with them.
With a guard and dry food and ammunition, we need to go into the mountains to hunt tigers.
The Daqing Mountain stretches for dozens of miles and is the largest mountain range in Jiangdong Province.
There are no large wild animals in areas close to densely populated areas.
At most, there are only a few hares, which cannot satisfy the father and son's ambition to hunt tigers.
A group of hunters were guided by the guide.
Following the guidance, we headed straight into the mountains.
After walking for two hours, the trees gradually became denser.
Under the shade of the trees that blocked out the sun were thick humus soil and various wild fungi.
Suddenly, Chen Zikun raised his hand and everyone stopped.
Xiao Bei's sharp eyes saw a fiery red fox in the distance poking its head.
He raised his gun and shot without hesitation.
The Winchester shotgun was loaded with ten.
The No. 2 shotgun rained down, and the fox jumped suddenly, swung its tail and ran away.
Xiaobei quickly ran over to check.
There was blood on the ground.
He shouted excitedly: "It's hit, you can't run far."
"Chasing" Chen Zikun said, the fox's fur is very good, and it is perfect for pleasing the ladies.
The father and son were full of fighting spirit and followed the traces left by the injured fox.

They chased after the injured fox.
The mountain people looked at it for a moment and were stunned.
Shuangxi said: "This is nothing.
Our generals have crawled through the old forests in Guandong."
Chen Zikun and Xiaobei left the team behind and chased them out of a hill.
The fox's blood stains suddenly disappeared.
They were wondering when they suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar that made the leaves rustle.
A huge black bear appeared in front of him.
It was a beast more ferocious than a tiger in the mountain forest.
Chen Zikun suddenly felt chills all over his body.
It was enough that he was in danger alone.
There was also his son beside him.
He blocked Xiaobei with a single step.
In front of you: "Run quickly" Xiaobei, however, was not afraid at all.
Instead, he was eager to try.
He raised his hand and shot the bear.
The shotgun had no effect on the bear, but instead angered him.
He roared and rushed towards the father and son.
At such a close distance, it was too late to reload.
At the critical moment, a gunshot was heard, and the black bear was hit by a bullet in the back.
Being attacked from both sides, it roared and turned around, and a steel fork was stabbed in the chest, piercing the heart.
The black bear whined and fell to the ground.
A sturdy middle-aged hunter stood in front of Chen Zikun and his son, carrying a gun on his back and bare feet, but without looking at them, he pulled out the steel fork on the bear and said: "This is There is a female bear and her cub is nearby.
She is so fierce because she is afraid that you will hurt her cub."
Chen Zikun said: "Thank you so much for saving me.
I didn't ask for your name."
The man said: "My name is Cheng Shi and I am a hunter in the mountains.
You are..."
Xiao Bei said: "We went into the mountains to hunt tigers."
Chen Zikun added: "My surname is Chen, Chen Zikun.
This is Chen Bei, the dog son.
We come from Beitai."
Cheng Shi showed a surprised expression: "People in the city also hunt, why are you short of meat?"
Chen Zikun said: "It's just for fun."
Cheng Shi looked up and down at the father and son, wearing peaked caps, canvas hunting jackets, and cowhide belts filled with bullets.
The Winchester double-barreled shotgun with a walnut stock was glowing blue.
"Show me the shotgun."
Cheng Shi stared at the shotgun.
Chen Zikun handed over the shotgun: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Cheng Shi played with it fondly and handed it back: "A gentleman never takes away what others love."
Chen Zikun was surprised at how this hunter in the mountains could speak so clearly when he suddenly heard a child's voice: "Dad, we caught a bear cub."
A teenage boy came over holding a small black bear.
Cheng Shi said: "This is my son, Shuanzhu
