【1105】 Christmas snow fun

Christmas is a good day for ordinary European and American people to reunite with their families. Christians who pay special attention to their family attach great importance to Christmas is beyond the imagination of Chinese people.

For them, Christmas is like the Spring Festival in China, it is the most important festival of the year, and it is also the day for them to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new and celebrate the New Year.

The Xiao family has moved to America over the years. Although they still adhere to many Chinese traditions, they have gradually integrated into American life and have a good Christmas.

When Xiao Feng returned home after the Christmas battle, the Christmas tree lights in the ‘Dream Manor’ shining, and Santa’s statue and various decorations created a strong Christmas atmosphere, which felt pretty good.

Because it was too late, the children had already slept in the car. Xiao Feng was complained by the elderly at home, saying that he had to take the children to the stadium so late...

Although Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao are the same in the group, their status at home is not very high, and the elderly can still deal with them.

Faced with the nagging of the two mothers, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao did not dare to say anything, and silently carried the children to their room and settled down.

After some trouble, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao were free in the room and it was almost 12 a.m. Xiao Feng poured two glasses of "dream wine" and stood in front of the windowsill with his wife watching the falling snowflakes.

There is very little snow in winter in Los Angeles. This is also the first heavy snow that Xiao Feng and his family saw in the third year of moving here, and it is also an unexpected surprise.

"The children will be very happy tomorrow!" Xu Mengyao said with a smile as she looked at the snowflakes like a dream under the street lights.

Forbes magazine released the 2017 global rich list. Xu Mengyao won the world's No. 1 female rich man with a net worth of US$12.8 billion, but such an honor did not have much impact on Xu Mengyao's life.

She spends most of her time in the ‘Dream Manor’, and there are many elderly people in her family, and she needs to worry about many things. After all, nannies and nursing staff cannot be so considerate.

After returning from a vacation in China this time, Ping Ping Anan, who was already three years old, also reached the age of kindergarten, and Xu Mengyao's life at home became even more leisurely.

Fortunately, there are more and more affairs in Jinghu Group. As the vice chairman of the group's board of directors, she has to handle many documents on behalf of Xiao Feng every day. For this reason, Xu Mengyao even opened an office center in "Dream Manor" to handle official business.

Generally speaking, Xu Mengyao appears in the public and media perspective, probably with Xiao Xiao, Wei Tingting, and many upper-class wives in America, shopping, spa, fitness, etc., or the family spends leisure time in major parks and amusement places inside and outside Los Angeles.

No matter how the number of wealth changes, Xu Mengyao's life is still focused on the "Dream Manor" and the big family of the Xiao family.

Especially Xu Mengyao is now the wife of the future patriarch Xiao Feng. She needs to help Xiao Feng manage the entire Xiao family, including various family benefits, rewards and entrepreneurial funds, and her life is quite fulfilling.

When she saw snow in Los Angeles, her first reaction was that the children would be in a better mood.

"I'll take a break tomorrow and I can take the kids to play!" Xiao Feng nodded and said, "It's rare to snow. I guess the wine tastes better next year!"

The Lakers' next game is to face the Rockets at home two days later, which also gives the Lakers the opportunity to spend Christmas at home. Xiao Feng simply announced that the team will have a day off.

Although the Lakers' record has not made any breakthrough this year, Xiao Feng is also quite satisfied with the performance of the players. After all, the team is in a virtuous cycle.

It takes too much time to train and compete in daily life. Xiao Feng still hopes to be able to spend time with his children at home when he has the opportunity. After all, witnessing every step of his children's growth is the wish of every parent.

For example, Pingping Anan was learning French in kindergarten during this period, and Xiao Feng didn't want to miss the stage of children babbling. Now this snow is coming at the right time.

According to Xiao Feng's experience, the vineyards are covered with heavy snow in winter, and the wine grapes grown in the coming year will not only increase their yields, but also have higher quality. Therefore, Xiao Feng also hopes that the wines brewed by "Dream Winery" will be further improved next year. Perhaps in the future, "Dream 2018" will become a historical famous wine like "82 Lafite"!

In Xiao Feng's view, the so-called various wealth valuations and stock price evaluations are actually just numbers on paper, which can make the Xiao family have a long history and a permanent foundation are the bottles of top wine!

No matter what happens in the future, the 10,000 bottles of "Dream Wine" and 200,000 bottles of "Xiao Family" stored every year are actually important cornerstones for the Xiao Family's future comeback. Of course, Xiao Feng hopes that in a hundred years, his descendants will not need to sell these precious wines to maintain their lives. After all, that means that the Xiao Family is at the end of its reach.

At this point, the Xiao family needs to learn from old families such as Morgan and Rockefeller. Although these families have not had high assets on the surface, they hide more wealth in real estate, art, farms, minerals and the equity of various high-quality enterprises. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the huge wealth they have mastered and controlled.

In contrast, the Xiao family is still a little thin today. As the patriarch, Xiao Feng naturally had to make plans and gradually hide the wealth in his hands. This is a clever move.

After all, a big tree attracts wind, and the rafters that stand out will rot first. Xiao Feng does not want the Xiao family to become the target of public criticism within a few years.

Perhaps, in a few decades, it will be difficult for people to see the names of members of the Xiao family on the list of rich people, but the Xiao family can still have a huge influence around the world and have a certain voice among the top leaders of the Chinese and American governments.

Being the "big crocodile" behind the scenes is the future direction of Xiao Feng and Xiao family!

In fact, this is also an important reason why the Jinghu Group implemented the "American Strategy". The political climate in China does not allow the survival of family groups at all. If Xiao Feng wants the Jinghu Group and the Xiao family to have sufficient strength after a hundred years, it is very necessary to cultivate both inside and outside.

Since having children and Xiao Feng participated in the NBA, Xiao Feng and his wife have rarely been alone. On this snowy Christmas Eve, the couple talked about drinking and nights, which was also a kind of fun!

…………

Xiao Feng, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt difficulty breathing. He seemed to be pressed onto a mountain. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and open his eyes.

At this time, he found that Yu'er was sitting on his chest, holding his own and laughing more than him, Nini next to him pressed on her body...

The four little guys simply regarded Xiao Feng as a toy and were ravaging him to the fullest. They were not afraid when they woke up, and they shouted that Xiao Feng would get up early to take them to build a snowman!

Xiao Feng got up and opened the curtains and saw that the snow outside was at least 20 cm. Perhaps this little snow was insignificant for Montana, but it was extremely rare for Los Angeles, which had a warm winter!

"You go downstairs and wait for dad to have breakfast together. Dad and mom take you to build snowmen and have snowball fights!" Xiao Feng pulled a few elves one by one, rubbed their pink sales with the newly grown stubble, and then drove them out of the room with their screams.

When they arrived downstairs, several children complained to their grandmother, saying that their father had a thorny beard, which made Xue Lihua laugh and scolded. They were all the fathers of four children, and they were still like a child.

For Xue Lihua, it is not an easy thing to retire early to come to America to take care of her children, and sometimes she even feels much more tired than at school.

She doesn't have to worry too much about life at home, after all, she doesn't have to worry about money. Many housework are done by housekeepers and servants. What makes Xue Lihua spend more time and energy is the education of several children.

When he was teaching in school, Xue Lihua taught more about various exam-oriented education knowledge, but now with her own grandson, there are more things to pay attention to.

For example, when the children are learning English, French and other languages, Xue Lihua has to take the old man to various training classes. She can't keep up with the children's rhythm at home, right? In addition, Xue Lihua also learns some music theory, natural science knowledge, etc., so as not to ask questions when the children have problems.

In a sense, Xue Lihua's hard work in recent years is comparable to the professional title exams of that year, but this is also a sweet burden, because being able to grow up with the children has also made the children closer to the elderly.

After Xiao Feng went downstairs, breakfast began. Although it was Christmas, the dining table was still mainly Chinese breakfast. The chefs at home had figured out everyone's appetite and nutritional needs, and made a delicious and nutritious exquisite breakfast.

The children still have a Western-style breakfast of milk, eggs, ham slices, vegetable salads and bread. Occasionally, they also like to eat Chinese breakfasts such as noodles, but milk is indispensable.

As for adults, they are more accustomed to eating steamed buns, porridge or noodles, which also makes the chefs' Chinese food skills soar, making the Xiao family quite satisfied.

Before Xiao Feng finished his breakfast, several little people were already dressed and waiting in the entrance hall, constantly urging Xiao Feng to get faster. He had to stuff the steamed buns into his mouth in a few seconds and end his breakfast.

Opening the main building door, there was a silver-covered view in front of you. The downtown Los Angeles in the upper and lower areas have also become a silver world, looking like a fairy tale world!

A few little people dressed like stupid bears, clumsyly moving in the snow, and accidentally fell into the snow, making everyone laugh.

In the manor, William was taking servants to clear the snow tracks, and the employees of the "Dream Restaurant" and "Dream Winery" also walked out of the collective dormitory and swept the snow with tools. The whole manor was in full swing.

Everyone also knows that the young masters and ladies want to play with the snow, so they consciously sent the clean snow to the small square in front of the door, piled up into small hills, making the children overjoyed.

For Ping Ping Anan, who is only three years old, snow is a very strange memory. After all, they have never experienced it before. Just listening to their sister and brother talking about their experience of playing snow in Montana ranch, they found it quite interesting.

Look, when my father rolled a super large snowball with a diameter of more than two meters in the small square, the two little babies were so excited that they learned to roll a snowball.

Under Xiao Feng's guidance, the dolls rolled up snowballs of different sizes and then folded them to make snowmen. Nini also took her younger brother and sister back to the storage room at home to find a lot of things to dress up the snowmen.

Brooms, washbasins, carrots, charcoal,..., in a short while, all kinds of snowmen were freshly prepared, and the children also named the snowmen, saying that they were made according to the people at home.

The tallest one is father. Next to his father, the snowman with lipstick is mother, the few little snowmen are just them, the one with beard is grandfather, and the one with a hat is grandfather,...

After a while, there were more than a dozen snowmen in the small square, and whenever the children thought of anyone in the family, they would ask Xiao Feng to make another snowman, which turned into a snowman concentration camp.

Xiao Feng, who was rare to spend the day with his children, naturally had no objection. Under the guidance of the children, he worked hard and made dozens of snowmen.

The employees of the manor knew that the boss was being directed by several children, and they were happy to see it. They sent the snow to the small square, making Xiao Feng lazy.

Seeing the hippie look of these employees, Xiao Feng deliberately looked stern and said that he wanted to deduct the year-end bonus of these people. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his words!

In fact, Xiao Feng has a very high prestige within the group. After all, Xiao Feng's core strategy for the establishment and subsequent development of the entire group were all handled by Xiao Feng. However, because Xiao Feng's easy-going personality makes him not very far from his employees, outside of the business, employees are not afraid of Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng’s so-called “threat” really can’t intimidate people in front of familiar employees. Not only did they not restrain themselves, they instead became more and more demands to Xiao Feng.

The two Xiao Duliang brothers watching the children play next to him. Seeing Xiao Feng getting along with the employees and even being "bullied" by the employees, there was no sign of turning against each other. There was no need to say the relief in his heart.

In the affairs of the group, Xiao Feng was able to do everything he had because he had enough prestige and wise decision-making. This was the foundation for the prosperity and development of the Xiao family; but in life, Xiao Feng did not lose his innocent heart because of his huge wealth, which was the greatest gain!

If the Xiao family wants to continue, an excellent clan leader is essential. From this point of view, Xiao Feng is fully qualified to take charge of the family and lead the clan members to a more glorious tomorrow! (To be continued.)
