    ***************************************************  *******************

    Conflicts between husband and wife are inevitable. As long as the relationship does not break up, it can still be resolved.  To use an old Chinese proverb, it means fighting at the end of the bed and at the end of the bed.

    Meng Youtian believes that the relationship between Liu Feng and himself is still there. It can be seen from Liu Feng's performance that the beating is a beating, but the strike is measured; there is a struggle, but not decisive.  So he could push forward and bombard Liu Feng in all directions, from words to actions.

    Liu Feng bit Meng Youtian twice, pinched him a few times, and finally sighed helplessly, giving up the pursuit for the time being.  Under Meng Youtian's stubborn entanglement and affection, her body also reacted, and she slowly wrapped her arms around Meng Youtian's neck, murmuring passionately, and immersed in the joy after a long absence.

    Meng Youtian tried his best to turn the clouds and rains upside down, and the two of them reached the peak of happiness amidst the dripping sweat and lingering love, gasping and clinging to each other.

    "Feng'er, I'm really sorry." Meng Youtian hugged Liu Feng's delicate body and said apologetically in her ear: "Don't be angry. I swear, this will never happen again. If  Yes, there are five thunders from the sky"

    "Come on, it's so boring to swear." Liu Feng lazily moved his body, half-opening his eyes and half-closing his eyes. He stretched out his hand to pull out his sweat-wet hair from his forehead, and said angrily: "I've been thinking about my sister-in-law for a day or two.  Right? I finally took a chance and got it. He¡¯s quite capable!"

    "That's not the case. In fact, that -" Meng Youtian wanted to explain, but it was hard to explain.

    "She was in a hurry, does it have anything to do with you?" Liu Feng glanced at Meng Youtian, sighed, and said quietly: "I should have seen some signs a long time ago. This big girl doesn't want to find her husband's family. She also likes to be with her.  Brother-in-law and brother-in-law hang out together, and nothing happens to them after a long time. I'm afraid the stinky girl must have had this idea a long time ago, and it's not easy to endure it until this point."

    "It was when my legs were broken by the bastard named Hu." Meng Youtian did not excuse himself, caressing Liu Feng's face, and said with a bitter smile: "I wanted to deal with it perfunctorily, but she hasn't changed after a few years.  . It¡¯s my fault. It¡¯s because I¡¯m not strong-willed enough and can¡¯t withstand the temptation.¡±

    "Smelly men are all the same." Liu Feng grabbed Meng Youtian's hand bitterly, bit it again, and then said feebly: "The woman is rushing towards me, but she can still push out? Oh, what else can I do?  , who asked me to marry you, this scourge. And I have two children!"

    Meng Youtian felt speechless. There was really no way to explain feelings!  Gently holding Liu Feng in his arms, he sighed helplessly and said quietly: "The two stinky sons will also marry wives in the future. I hope they don't imitate me. Let's live well and see what they are like.  , look at what their children look like. When I am too old to walk, I will still expect you to hold me up!"

    "It's a beautiful idea. Who can help you? I'll live a good life with my sons and grandsons, and you can find your fourth wife." Liu Feng said harshly, but her face was pressed against Meng Youtian's chest.  , rubbing gently.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Liu Feng¡¯s emotions showed outwardly.  It looks powerful, but it's easy to deal with.  Zicuckoo neither beat nor scolded, but Meng Youtian spent more time and more words.  Only then did she relieve the depression in her heart.  Axiu is the easiest one to deal with, a model of husband singing and wife following.  In addition, Xiaoman is her sister, so having a home is a relief for her.

    Meng Youtian is important for this matter to be resolved, but the most important factor is that the thinking of Zijuan, Liu Feng and others is old-fashioned. They have seen many men with three wives and four concubines, and they are not psychologically like new women.  That kind of resistance is hard to change.  In addition, Xiaoman is very familiar with them and is usually very well-behaved, so it is relatively easy to accept her.

    With the family affairs settled, Meng Youtian turned his attention to the newly opened toy market.  It was not the sensational Barbie doll that enabled him to see huge economic benefits the fastest, but the hula hoop, which was simply made and had no technical content.

    When at an American football game, the charming female cheerleader twisted her waist and twirled her hula hoop like crazy, thousands of spectators cheered.  This three-foot hula hoop made of colorful polyethylene pipes has become a toy that is truly popular around the world. The speed of its spread fully proves that even a trivial thing in the cultural life of the American people has an impact on the rest of the world.  There will be a huge impact.

    Starting from March, Hua Xiu Toy Company hasHe placed orders with plastic factories all over Hong Kong and sold huge quantities of hula hoops to the American market.  By Labor Day in the United States in September, more than a dozen companies had copied the product and sold it under new trademarks. Hua Xiu Toy Company's hula hoops had also been sold all over the world.

    In 1947, if no one was playing with this kind of plastic ring that became popular in the United States anywhere in the world, it meant that the place had not yet "integrated with the world."  By the end of the year, total sales of hula hoops were estimated to be in the tens of millions, including all imitations.  So many people used it that European medical journals issued warnings to beware of damage to the body due to excessive intensity.

    With just one hula hoop, Hua Xiu Toy Company sold more than six million hula hoops and made a profit of nearly two million U.S. dollars.  In just over two years, Meng Youtian became a US dollar millionaire and a Hong Kong dollar multi-millionaire.  Even Meng Youtian couldn't believe it when he made money so quickly.

    Hula hoops are just a gust of wind. By next summer, many city garbage dumps will be filled with discarded hula hoops.  Hua Xiu Company stopped large-scale production of hula hoops in advance and only accepted orders instead of actively selling to the market.  In early 1948, the expanded Washoe Company began to focus on the development and production of Barbie dolls.  Almost at the same time, this year's three new sets of Barbie dolls were released, causing another sensation and rush.

    The Chinese Barbie princess doll wearing Tang suit and cheongsam has an exquisite appearance, full of the charming beauty of oriental women, and the cheongsam is embroidered with strange patterns.  Her radiant face, carefully styled hair, gold dangling earrings and dazzling crown created an authentic and mysterious royal look.  The other two sets of dolls are Barbie's younger sisters Maddie and Spot, each with their own highlights in appearance, hairstyle, and clothing, and they were also warmly welcomed.

    ??The Haisha Company, chaired by the Xiao brothers, also ushered in its largest expansion in history in March 1948, when a sand dredger ship ordered for more than one million Hong Kong dollars entered Hong Kong.  This machine ship has a carrying capacity of nearly 3,000 tons and can dig out 2,000 tons of sea sand every thirty minutes and automatically unload it into the cabin.  A new situation in sea sand excavation has finally opened up, and the rapid development of sea sand companies is something that can be expected.  (To be continued.)
