I love being a "father" when I am eight years old. Click here if you like the slow pace. Counter attack + humor + sense of age + contrasting cuteness + group portrait. In 1991, something strange happened in Lijia Village on the edge of Beijing.
Li Shimin, a 45-year-old business tycoon, woke up and became the eight-year-old "uncle" in the village.
Facing a group of "grandnephews" who were decades older than him, he made calculations in a childlike voice:
"Now, I announce the start of the first economic development meeting of the Li clan."
Relying on the memory of past lives and the "clan rise system", an eight-year-old child takes charge of a clan.
From the woodware factory on the verge of bankruptcy to the pickle shop that is popular in the county;
From the stunning pottery in the first kiln to the quietly laid out industrial blueprint.
He used jelly beans as teaching aids, used crayons to draw drawings, and set "Li's standards" in the ancestral hall.
Li Ergou: "Eighth uncle, can stocks be stewed?"
Crouching dragon and phoenix chick almost turned the factory into a maze.
And when he built the entire family into a business empire,
Then I realized that the most important thing is not wealth,
It's that group of noisy tribesmen who always hold each other's hands.
And this golden age of fireworks and hope.

Can I ask, is Lao Ba still 8 years old now? Will he grow up?
The writing is good and warm, but the author remembered to change his age. He was 8 years old in 1991 and still 8 years old in 1993.
