Chapter 414 Certificate of Surrender

No. 11 Yongkang Hutong, four courtyards.

"Dad! This yard is too shabby!"

"Can't you hire someone to design it properly? Your family is not short of money, right?"

“There’s not even a place to take a shower!”

Coinciding with the college entrance examination, Wang Deming’s eldest daughter An Ning and several other older sons also came to Beijing to reunite with the family.

But the godmother Wang Shuqin was so happy that her eyes were dazzled. Especially when she learned that Wang Deming specifically gave the two children, Jinyue and Shegong, the surname Yan, and they never changed their surnames back to Wang in Hong Kong, she was even more delighted.

She immediately took off the gold bracelet on her hand and gave it to her two eldest grandsons.

Wang Deming stopped him with a smile.

Wang Deming now has a total of 12 children, three of whom are born to his four wives.

The eldest daughter is An Ning, born to Qin Huairu, the eldest son is Jin Yue, born to Zhang Shouchun, the son is Shegong, born to Jin Yuqing, and the fourth son is Alexander, born to Diana.

In the following year, two more sons and two daughters were born, ranked according to their names. In 65, there were also two sons and two daughters.

Including the three children Diana gave birth to, although they were recalled to Hong Kong by the Soviet Union to arrange work in the country after staying in Hong Kong for 10 years, the three children she gave birth to remained in Hong Kong and lived with Wang Deming.

According to Diana, children who live in the Soviet Union for a long time are likely to become spoiled.

As a senior figure who knew a lot about the Soviet internal affairs department, Diana knew too much about the internal corruption of the Soviet high-level officials.
Last year's Spring Festival, Wang Deming originally asked Mr. Huo to help bring the children to Beijing for a reunion, but after Sister Yin Mei told him about the above situation, he changed his mind.

It was not until August 77, when the dust had settled, that they were arranged to come to Beijing.

In China, money is not the most important thing. Many people in later generations did not realize this, but Wang Deming knew it very well.

After meeting privately with the leaders above him, he cleaned up the house in Yongkang Hutong and moved in again, otherwise the small factory would not have been able to accommodate so many children.

Even this has caused a group of spoiled children who grew up in Hong Kong to complain bitterly.

"You can go to Beijing Hotel to take a shower." Wang Deming took the children to the back room of the fourth floor. "Here are the clothes prepared for you to wear here."

The back room of the fourth courtyard has now been converted into a cloakroom. One of the rooms is filled with Type 65 green military uniforms or blue and green Zhongshan suits.

"Oh my God!"

Wang Anning covered her face with her hands. "Dad, I always thought you understood us. Why did you let us wear such ugly clothes?"

"I do not want!"

"Come on, follow me upstairs."

Wang Deming was not angry. He gathered all the children on the second floor of the back room and opened the window.

"I'm not forcing you to change into these clothes," Wang Deming said as he slowly swept his eyes over his children. "I want you to be able to study in China."

"This year is the first year that the country resumes the college entrance examination. As my children, you can all take it."

Seeing An Ning puffing up her cheeks and about to speak again, Wang Deming raised his hand to stop her and continued softly, "An Ning, I know that you three siblings are already studying at the University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, and are also preparing to continue your studies in the UK."

"There are two reasons why I want you to return to China to study." Wang Deming held up two fingers. "First, don't be misled by some newspapers in Hong Kong. Don't always think that you are from Hong Kong and have prejudices against the mainland. We are Chinese. This cannot be changed anywhere. You can't look down on your poor relatives psychologically just because you live in Hong Kong."

"Your father grew up here. If it weren't for your grandma's bowl of porridge, Dad would have died of hunger and cold on the roadside."

“Drink water and remember its source; fall leaves and return to their roots.”

"Secondly, you have all been living a life of luxury since childhood. Although you have seen it on TV or when you were shopping in Hong Kong, it is not a real experience after all, and I dare not let you experience it. So I hope that you can learn to live independently during the few years you study at university in Beijing."

"Never be a slave to money. I hope you can truly and slowly integrate into the daily life here. It will be more beneficial for your future if you can get in touch with the real world."

The children all fell into deep thought, especially An Ning, who was Wang Deming's first child. Wang Deming loved her more, especially a daughter. He had previously let An Ning, Jin Yue and She Gong, three sisters, intern in the company.

However, Hong Kong’s social environment was very bad in the 70s and 80s, especially for those who were called “Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers” from the south in Hong Kong. There were often disgusting shootings in downtown areas.

For the safety of his children, Wang Deming had to pay attention to one thing.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. His wealth has long been no secret among the top group of people in Hong Kong, and it might leak out at any time.

Although he had warned newspapers and television in advance, they dared not report his news.

But I'm afraid there are people who are thinking of them. Although Zhang Ziqiang and Ye Jihan only became famous in the 90s, there is no guarantee that there are no people who are thinking of them now.

So, after arranging for his children to live in Beijing for a few years, Wang Deming planned to arrange for them to go abroad.
First, each person is given a sum of money, and they can do whatever they want and enjoy themselves as long as they don't touch drugs; if they want to start a business, there is no problem either.

Hong Kong is a tiny place, and not a place where children can gain experience.

After thinking about it, the children nodded and went downstairs to change their clothes.

After a while, I heard some noisy chattering downstairs.

Wang Deming is good at talking, persuading people, and even better at educating children.
Because Wang Deming often told his children about the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War and the Korean battlefield, An Ning and her friends all chose the Type 65 military uniform.

When they put them on, with their red lips and white teeth, they really look like young generals.

"Let's go, let's take some family photos first!"

The Nikon camera that Wang Deming used when he pretended to be a reporter was still there. He asked someone to buy film from the Friendship Store and started taking pictures randomly.

Finally, someone took a family photo for the whole family.

In order to register his children, Wang Deming went to see Lu Qinghuan, a teacher at Beijing No. 5 Middle School, and Principal Zhang.

During the special period, Principal Zhang was sent to a cadre school to do hard labor, but Teacher Lu Qinghuan continued to work as a teacher in the school and also served as vice principal.

Now Teacher Lu Qinghuan is a People's Congress representative of Dongcheng District and also serves as the deputy director of the Dongcheng District Education Bureau.

Anyway, it's just a matter of having his name on the school register, and it can also improve the admission rate of No. 5 Middle School. Neither Lu Qinghuan nor Principal Zhang Tianyong have any objection. Instead, they are very happy.

However, when Teacher Lu and Principal Zhang asked about the backgrounds of these children, Wang Deming could only smile mysteriously, "They are the children of wealthy people in Hong Kong who are loyal to us."

"This is a token of allegiance. This is only the first batch."
