However, the next moment, Wen Tama hesitated again.
Those who run gold mines have money in their hands. If something happens to the father and son, what will they do?
What's more, the boss just got married not long ago.
On the other side, Zhu Kaishan frowned and said bluntly.
"You little kid, you don't understand anything, why are you just joining in the fun?"
Zhu Kaishan knew very well how chaotic and dangerous the gold mine was.
Especially Lao Jingou, Lao Jingou is a famous rich mine. Although this gold mine is temporarily owned by the Qing government, both Maozi and the Japanese are keeping an eye on Lao Jingou.
Not only that, the officials and the bandits in the green forest, as long as they had some strength in their hands, all of them were eyeing Lao Jingou and trying their best to bite off a piece of meat from it.
Therefore, Zhu Kaishan would not let his children go on adventures with him.
Li Jie said "arrogantly": "I can go to Lushun City, but I can't go to Laojingou?"
Hearing the boss say the words "Lao Jingou", Zhu Kaishan was obviously stunned and looked at Li Jie in surprise.
Where did you hear about this kid?
Did the kid say that?
Zhu Kaishan thought for a while and immediately rejected this conjecture. From last night to now, Wen's mother has been with him and has no time to tell the boss.
If the child didn't say that, how did the boss know?
Seeing Zhu Kaishan's surprised look, Li Jie smiled slightly and took the initiative to explain.
"What's so hard to guess?"
"Can there be a bigger gold mine than Lao Jingou in the Northeast?"
"Also, yesterday, there were people recruiting workers outside the station, and the place they went to was Laojingou."
Laojingou, located in Mohe, Heilongjiang Province, is the gold mine with the largest area, highest output, and highest gold content in Northeast China. It was officially established in 1889 and produced 20,000 taels of gold in its first year.
Six years later, in 1895, the output reached as high as 50,000 taels, directly surpassing the "Golden Tianfu" Zhaoyuan.
And this is only the officially recorded output, and the actual output is even higher. After all, the Qing Dynasty has already shown signs of national collapse. As the saying goes, when a country is about to collapse, there must be evildoers. How can there be no reason not to be corrupt when guarding this rich mine?
According to later literature records, Laojingou produced more than 200,000 taels of gold a year, which was not a problem.
Therefore, Li Jie has long been eyeing this rich mine.
Lao Jingou was the first pot of gold he prepared.
By taking over this mine, he will no longer be troubled by lack of funds in the next few years.
When you have money, you have guns, and when you have cannons, when you have guns, you don't have to worry about recruiting people.
However, even if Zhu Kaishan wanted to break his head, he could not imagine that Li Jie would dare to attack Lao Jingou. If he knew Li Jie's true thoughts, he would probably think that the boss was crazy.
"No, you can't go!"
Li Jie didn't answer, but looked at Zhu Kaishan "stubbornly". Although he didn't speak, his expression and movements showed that he had to go.
Obviously, Zhu Kaishan also understood what Li Jie meant. Seeing the boss's appearance, he just felt a 'headache'.
He has a long life, so even if something happens to him, there is nothing to regret.
Furthermore, even if he is gone, he can go there with peace of mind as his eldest brother is at home.
If the eldest brother goes with him, what will the family do if something happens?
For the next time, neither of them spoke. They just glared at each other and fought for a long time. In the end, Zhu Kaishan was the first to 'defeat' and left the scene directly.

…
…
…
In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.
In recent days, there has been heavy snowfall, and there has been such a thick layer of snow on the road that no one can go out.
Although they can't go out, Lao Zhu's family is having a good time this New Year. A few days ago, Xia Yuanzhang asked someone to deliver a small cart of new year's goods. They were flying in the sky, running on the ground, and in the water, as long as they were on the market.
Xia Yuanzhang sent all the New Year's goods that he could buy.
Crackling!
It’s the Chinese New Year, and the entire Fangniugou is full of New Year flavor, and the sound of crackling firecrackers can be heard from time to time.
After a while, the sound of firecrackers also sounded in the Zhu family yard.
The two brothers Chuanwu and Chuanjie looked at the rising smoke and thought about the delicacies they would eat later, and they danced happily.
"New Year's Eve!"
"New Year's Eve!"
After setting off the firecrackers, everyone returned to the main room. Before dinner, Zhu Kaishan led the family to pay homage to the genealogy on the table.
"Father, mother, I kowtow to you, the second elder."
After leading everyone to worship their ancestors, Zhu Kaishan waved his hand.
"Get on the Kang, let's have a feast!"
Chuanwu and Chuanjie had been waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner since the morning. As soon as they heard Zhu Kaishan's order, they immediately ran to the kang.
Seeing the joyful expressions of the second and third children, the corners of Zhu Kaishan's mouth unconsciously raised.
However, when he looked at the boss, his face darkened again.
It's been several days, but the boss still hasn't changed his attitude and still insists on going to Laojingou with him.
Is Laojingou so easy to get to?
Eat people without spitting out the bones, that's what they say!
The boss insisted again and again. Although Zhu Kaishan was very moved, the more moved he was, the less he wanted to take the boss with him.
No one can guarantee what will happen if you go there.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
If something happens, you will regret it later.
'well.'
'If it doesn't work, I'll hide it from the boss and go secretly.'
'This kid can't possibly stare at me all day long, can he?'
So far, only Li Jie and Zhu Kaishan and his wife know about going to the gold mine. Chuanwu, Chuanjie and Xian'er know nothing about it.
However, although they did not know about this, they were not unaware of the abnormality in the atmosphere at home. After all, Li Jie and Zhu Kaishan had been having a cold war during this period, and anyone who was not blind could see it.
On the other side, Mother Wen deliberately lagged half a step behind, walked to Li Jie, pulled the corner of his clothes, and whispered.
"Boss, today is the Chinese New Year. Give your father some face and be happy."
Seeing this scene happening next to him, Zhu Kaishan suddenly stopped, pricked up his ears and began to listen.
Li Jieruo glanced towards him intentionally or unintentionally, and when their eyes met, Zhu Kaishan quickly turned his head away, pretending to be nonchalant, and continued walking forward.
Seeing her husband's embarrassment, Mrs. Wen immediately pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
This old boy obviously cares, but he has to pretend not to care.
Even at such an old age, I don’t know how to let the boss behave like a child.
"Okay, it's settled. There's no barrier between father and son. I'll toast your father with a glass of wine later during dinner."
Li Jie 'hesitated' for a long time, and then nodded 'reluctantly'.
Seeing this, Wen's mother nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go and eat. I'll leave the rest to my mother."
