Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 265: Can’t afford to offend, can afford to hide

Watching Li Weidong leave, Ma Weidong knew that the simple relationship between him and Li Weidong as classmates was gone. As he got older, he all had things he wanted. I know you, and I just want to get something from you. His thoughts will become more and more serious. .

When Shen Yueying returned home, she told Li Chengwen about having dinner with the deputy county magistrate in the county. Li Chengwen was extremely envious, but when he heard that Lao Yutou had a higher rank than the county magistrate, he felt trembling in his heart.

Although he got along well with the old man and the old lady in Courtyard No. 3, there were times when they had quarrels, especially when Old Yutou spoke too harshly and directly, and the two of them occasionally quarreled.

Now that he knew that he was higher than the county magistrate, he quickly went to Li Weidong to confirm the matter, leaving Li Weidong baffled.

"He was the director before he retired. His rank is slightly higher than County Magistrate Zhu. Why do you ask about this?"

"Tell me, an official as big as theirs won't hold grudges. It is said in the play that the prime minister's belly can support a boat. Although he is not the prime minister, he is still an official, and his belly should be quite big, right?"

Li Weidong finally knew the reason. He wanted to laugh in his heart, but his face was very serious and he said: "What's the problem between you and him? Are you two stinking?"

Li Chengwen was shocked when he saw Li Weidong's expression, and said: "Don't he like to play chess, but no one wants to play with him, so he asked me to play with him, and I can't do it!"

"He said he was teaching me. After playing a few games, Lao Yu quit again and started to eliminate me. He also thought that I didn't play well. Don't you think this is bluffing? I don't want to learn, but he insists on letting me learn. Now you are attacking me again!"

"Of course I couldn't let him go, so the two of us started to quarrel, and he was so angry that he went home directly. When we came back, he hadn't shown up at the activity center for three days!"

Li Chengwen was very worried. If the old man had a grudge and resented him, it wouldn't matter if he dealt with him, but it would be bad if he did evil to his son.

Li Weidong thought to himself that there are not many people who are willing to play chess with Comrade Lao Yu. If they are willing to play chess with Li Chengwen, there is probably no other way. But Li Chengwen probably has limited skills, and he cannot play with Lao Yu. .

However, Li Weidong said seriously in line with his expression just now: "He is a big leader. We can't afford to offend him. How about we go abroad and go to Hong Kong Island. If we can't offend him, how can we hide away?"

Li Chengwen took a closer look at Li Weidong's face and felt something was wrong. He was so angry that he cursed: "Get out of here, you damn thing, even I dare to amuse myself. Are you tired of living?"

He is an old craftsman, and at least he still has some judgment. Judging from Li Weidong's expression, his son, who knows everything about it, can't say such a thing.

This time it was Li Weidong's turn to be stupid, and it was quite tragic. After being scolded, he didn't dare to say anything, let alone scold him back. Who would let this be his father?

Ding Yuan and Xie Ming, who were not far away, were holding back their laughter and did not dare to say anything. If someone scolded their boss like this, they would have slapped the boss in the morning. But now in this situation, they can't even listen and want to hide. Far away.

Li Weidong said helplessly: "Dad, let's use civilized language. If you scold me, aren't you scolding yourself? How bad is it for others to hear it?"

Li Chengwen stiffened his neck and said, "It's so uncivilized. I'm scolding my son for hurting someone!"

As soon as Li Weidong saw him walking away, he realized that this was his real father, but he just ignored the head office. This time he really agreed to what he said. If you can't afford to offend him, you can't afford to hide from him. We are not ordinary people.

In the evening, Li Weidong wanted to take a walk around the village director's house to talk about rebuilding the house next year. The flipping of the house also had to be reported. What's more, Li Weidong not only added new buildings, but also changed the layout. At least he also had to renovate the east and west side rooms.

Cover it.

On winter nights like this, no one wants to go out if there is nothing urgent. Even the children who have been having fun during the holidays stay at home.

Although the moon is not very bright at night, the snow in front of and behind the yard has not yet melted, making the night very bright. Li Weidong does not need to carry a flashlight and carry two bottles of wine to go out on foot.

I knocked on the door of the village director's house. The dog in the yard was barking. After a while, I heard the sound of beating the dog. Then the door opened. The person who opened the door was the village director's wife, a kind old lady.

"Weidong is here, come in quickly, it's cold outside, come in and warm yourself by the fire!"

Li Weidong carried two bottles of wine into the yard and asked: "Third grandma, have you had dinner? Is my third grandpa at home?"

The old lady closed the door and said, "We have eaten early. It's so cold today and we can't go out after the sun sets. Your third grandfather is at home and watching TV. The father of the child, Wei Dong, is here."

When Li Zongqi heard Li Weidong's voice, he stood up and walked out. He happened to meet the door and said, "What are you shouting for? We are coming out. Weidong is here. Come in quickly. It's so cold today!"

After entering the house, he saw Li Weidong carrying two bottles of wine and said unhappily: "Why are you bringing things here? What do you think of me? Take them back later!"

Li Weidong smiled and said: "If you ask me to take it back, I will take it back. Wouldn't it be very shameful for me?"

Li Zongqi was amused by Li Weidong's rogue words and said, "You, you, look like the guards of your second uncle's house now. Our ancestors did not have such a temper!"

The room was not big, with a small TV and a coal stove. Because the old lady added a shovelful of charcoal, the flames shot up to Lao Gao, which also drove away some of the cold air from Li Weidong's body.

The two of them sat around the stove, and a classic TV series was playing on the TV. The old lady poured tea without forgetting to take a look, and even performed rapping and singing, which established the status of the immortal goddess in the country.

Li Zongqi warmed his hands with the tea cup and said: "I heard that you are back, and I thought I would visit you when I have time. The road construction is finished, so I should tell you how much it cost anyway!"

Li Weidong waved his hand and said: "As long as the money is spent in the right place, I don't care about the rest. I came here today to ask about the renovation of my house!"

Li Zongqi asked in confusion: "Isn't your house just built two years ago? Why do you have to flip it again?"

"Well, the house at home is still a bit small. I have no place to live after I come back. I'm thinking of building a second floor and adding a storage room to store food and farm tools. This homestead is big enough so I don't need to replace it.

, but the area has changed, are there any procedures required?”

"College students are different. The county has this regulation, but after the construction is completed, our village will just report it. No other company has reported it in advance like you!"

"That's fine. My house and my grandpa's house will also be renovated. We plan to start construction in the spring next year. I'll trouble you about this!"

Nowadays, it is not as strict as later generations. Li Weidong remembers that there was a time when the requirements were very strict. Even if the yard was bigger, he had to pay for it. At that time, Li Weidong's house had a bigger pig pen, so he had to pay five yuan.

Li Weidong didn't want to cause trouble when it came to a little money, and the procedures for making up for it later were not done in advance to withstand inspection.

Li Zongqi said: "Okay, I know about this. You draw a rough size, and I will find someone to stamp it. No matter what the road construction account is, you have to take a look at it, otherwise how could we have done it?"

I don’t feel at ease personally!”

Seeing that everyone had said this, Li Weidong said, "What's wrong with this? I've been at home for the past two days. I'll take a look when I have time. That's all right!"
