Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 345: Full of descendants, long life and long life

Liu Xiangting is very generous. She is not averse to having children, and she also has a strong traditional idea of ​​having more children and more blessings. "You can't rely on me for this. Your brother is unwilling and said that he must run the company well first!"

"You don't have children when you run a company. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are in charge of a company. Why don't you have children? This Weimin is really ignorant!" When Shen Yueying heard that her son was unwilling, her confusion was relieved. However, even her own son cannot stop her desire to have more children.

"Mom, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are college students. We didn't go to school after graduating from junior high school. They can't compare!" Liu Xiangting knew that her husband's eldest brother provided the money to start the company. Naturally, I have to say a few words of compliment.

"I don't have that ability. I just go there and order my hair every day. It's the same with or without me in the company. I think it would be better without me!" Liu Jinhui shook his head and smiled.

What she said is true. She has not been here these days, and the company's business is still going very well without any turmoil.

After playing with his children for a while, Li Weidong shouted, took the things he bought, and went to his grandfather Li Zongxun's house. The whole family was so grand.

What is important in rural areas is this kind of noodles. It is a good sign to have descendants and long life. Li Zongxun is only over 70 this year, but he already has four generations living under the same roof. There are already four great-grandchildren, and two more are still alive. No one was born in the belly!

From time to time, I greeted acquaintances on the road and walked slowly towards the northern end of the village. The houses in the northern end of the village are getting older and older, and the people are getting older. There are more and more new houses in the southern end.

Although the house is old, the cement road in the village has no leakage at the door of every house. Especially the relatives within Li Weidong's fifth server are given special care. There are even rumors that the village director wants to curry favor with Li Weidong when he sees that his family has become prosperous. There’s one!

After entering the courtyard, Li Zongxun and his wife heard the noise and had already walked to the door. Seeing so many people coming, they couldn't even pour a glass of water and couldn't greet them at all.

"Weidong is back, where is the child?" Grandma asked first.

"Here it is!" Li Weidong led Li Qian to his grandma. The child was very energetic and not afraid of strangers, so he held hands with the old lady.

Li Weidong looked at the three low tile houses. The walls inside were still made of mud bricks and were very old. There were still many houses like this in rural areas in these days, but in the following few years, everyone became rich. The old house has almost disappeared.

Li Zongxun didn't have much ability in his life. He had spent half his life trying to find wives for his two sons. As for his own house, he probably didn't have much ideas.

Liu Jinhui was talking to the old lady. Although she was over seventy years old, her eyes were clear and she knew clearly in her heart that she did not favor one over the other just because Li Weidong's family did not come back often.

He gave each of the adults and children a portion of his collection of candies. This old-fashioned honey three-knife was so sweet that Li Weidong liked it. He ate several pieces in a row before he dared not continue eating because he was afraid of getting fat.

"Grandpa, are you planning to rebuild this old house? I see that the ground in the east room is damp. Living in such a place for a long time will easily lead to arthritis!" Li Weidong said as he walked around the house.

"Whatever you build, how many days can you live? Maybe one day you will see the King of Hell as soon as you step on your feet. If you don't build it, you are wasting money!" Li Zongxun smoked a cigarette and shook his head.

"Seventy-three, eighty-four, if the King of Hell doesn't ask me to go, I'm already seventy-two, and I still have a few years to live. If I can't pass this threshold, won't the house I built be in vain?"

"Which one of your father and your second uncle is interested in this house? If I leave in two years, this house will slowly collapse like the others behind it. We can't waste money!"

Li Weidong felt a sore nose when he heard what the old man said. His grandfather was old and he really didn't have many years left to live, but he had to live well even if he only lived for one day.

"You can't say that. Now that the medical level has improved, you can live a long life. You are only over 70 this year, and you still have decades to live. You can't think like that!"

"Look at Li Tai running all over the place, and Li Qian is over a year old. I'm sure I can see them marrying wives. If you work hard, living under the same roof for five generations is not a dream!" Li Weidong pointed at the two children and said.

Li Zongxun looked at several children running around and said with a smile: "That's nonsense. I really want to live to be a hundred. Look at how they marry wives and have children. I can also see them having grandchildren!"

"What's the use of just thinking about it, you have to have that life. Look at who in our village can seriously live past ninety. None of our ancestors live long. If I can wait for the soldiers to get married, I can close my eyes!"

Li Weidong thought for a while and said: "Who said no? The second master in front of me, the old couple are almost ninety now, and they are still alive and well. Look at their posture, they won't be finished until they live to a hundred!"

Li Weidong remembered the two longest-lived people in his village. The most amazing thing was the couple. The woman lived to be ninety-nine and the man lived to be one hundred and three. If his son's sudden death hadn't been such a shock, he would have lived even longer.

How long.

He has lived for such a long time, survived his son and daughter, and was able to support himself in the last two years. This is a miracle of longevity in their village.

"That's different. He didn't do much when he was young. He is the poorest in his family. Your uncle grew up eating food from hundreds of families. Who would have thought that he is still alive and kicking now that he is almost ninety!"

Li Zongxun shared with Li Weidong the old man's experiences when he was young. Li Weidong really didn't know that this old man had such awesome experiences when he was young.

Now I look at the old man with a long white beard and his celestial spirit. I never expected that when he was young, he was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. He lived happily when he was young, but he only had a definite character when he was fifty or sixty years old.

If you start living at the age of fifty or sixty, you can be considered to have lived your whole life again. How many people will not live past their fifties or sixties?

"Grandpa, people can live to be over ninety, why can't we? I think you should build this house again!" Li Weidong still brought the topic to the house.

In his last life, his grandfather lived for more than eighty years before passing away. Calculating, there were still more than ten years left. If he took good care of himself in this life, he might live a few more years.

"Don't be afraid of wasting money, otherwise I will pay you!" Li Weidong said excitedly.

"I'm afraid I won't survive. How can I ask for your money when I build a house? Even if I don't have any money myself, there are still your father and your uncle. What's the point of asking for your money?" the old man shook his head and said.

However, the meaning of the words has been loosened. The older you get, the more you fear death. If you say you are not afraid of death, it is just to embolden yourself. If you can live to ninety or one hundred, who wouldn't be happy?

But it’s not okay to use your own grandson’s money. This is the rule. Raise children to protect you in old age. I have never heard of raising grandchildren to protect you in old age. It is normal for a son to be filial to his father.

The old man has his own insistence, and Li Weidong can no longer talk about using his own money, but he can use his father's money, as long as he rebuilds the house.

As for letting the old couple move to their son's house to live with their children, that's definitely not possible. Not to mention what the two sons think, even the old man and the old lady can't stand it.

When you get old, you have to look at other people's faces to live your life. How frustrating it is. It's better to live a comfortable life by yourself.

"That's fine, you can ask my father for it. He can make money now, several hundred a day. If he can't show respect in front of you, he will have to pay some money. You should get a fair share of his money!"

When Li Weidong heard the old man saying that he wanted to build a house, he quickly blocked it with words. However, there was no telephone in the village. If he wanted to contact Li Chengwen, he had to go to the county to make an international long distance call. Otherwise, he would kill this matter now. Save the money

What will happen again in the future?

As for giving money, that's simple. The money given to someone is not money, and no one can tell clearly whose it belongs to.

"How can you earn hundreds if you can earn hundreds?" Li Zongxun's tone was raised an octave. As for whether he wanted his son to get money, it was no longer the focus.

Li Weidong's words shocked Li Zongxun. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to earn hundreds of dollars a day. He thought it was not low to earn hundreds of dollars a month.

"Isn't my dad good at carpentry? He opened a carpentry shop on Hong Kong Island and hired a few apprentices to make tables, chairs and benches. The work was pretty good, and people in Hong Kong liked it!"

"The prices over there are also high. The chair you are sitting on, don't use old elm wood, just ordinary acacia wood. You can easily sell it for a few hundred yuan if you make it!"

Li Chengwen's craftsmanship is quite good. Most of them are handmade and the shapes are good-looking. There are still some markets in Hong Kong Island. They mainly pursue the original ecology of pure handmade products.

And in order to avoid being fined by the Environmental Protection Agency, the furniture he makes are all solid wood furniture, with only a layer of varnish on them, and the amount of paint used is very small. First, it maintains the color of the original wood, and second, it reduces pollution.

On the contrary, this allows these solid wood furniture to reflect the texture effect of the wood itself, and looks more like a log furniture visual effect, which has successfully adapted to a group of customers.

In addition to some of the office furniture initially customized by several companies under Li Weidong's name, Li Chengwen also took on a lot of work that valued this craftsmanship, and his business was getting better day by day.

The old man pondered for a while, as if he was digesting Li Weidong's words, and then said: "Your father's carpenter skills are good. He has been passed down by his master. Those years of hard work were not in vain!"

"If I have time tomorrow, I have to buy something and go to Yang Laoer's house to sit there. I didn't expect this craft to be so profitable in Hong Kong Island. No wonder your father doesn't come back!"

This Yang Laoer is Li Chengwen's carpentry master. He is about the same age as Li Zongxun. He must be seventy now. The old man values ​​his apprenticeship very much, and Li Chengwen always visits him during the Chinese New Year and holidays.

"It's not because you make money that you don't come back. The carpenter's shop is too busy. If you can't make the things you want, doesn't that mean you're not trustworthy? How can you do business if you don't have integrity?"

Li Weidong protected Li Chengwen's face and could not let the old man have the impression that his father would not come back just to make money. Although he still wanted to make money, the mention of integrity escalated the problem.

"That's what it should be. If you pay someone to work for someone else, you have to follow their rules!" Li Zongxun couldn't say that the customer is God, but this thought has long been flowing in his bones.

China has always paid attention to honest management, no deception, fair trade, and harmony makes money. However, later supply and marketing cooperatives messed up these thousands of years of rules.

After playing all afternoon, it was getting late, the children were tired, and it was time for those who had gone out to come back. Shen Yueying took out a pile of money from her pocket and handed it to the old lady.

"What are you doing? We have money ourselves, and no matter how much we can spend, take it back quickly!" The old lady is a strong person and is not willing to accept the money from Shen Yueying.

"Mom, Wei Dong's father asked me to give this money to you. He is busy there and can't come back. He asked me to bring some money back. You can buy whatever you want to eat!"

Shen Yueying insisted on putting the money into the old lady's hands. It would be wrong to say how much she wanted to give money to her mother-in-law, but she had to do something about it. There were two daughters-in-law standing next to her!

She has to tell them with actions, and you have to learn from me in the future, and you have to be filial to your parents, as your mother-in-law is also your mother.

However, Shen Yueying was also extremely proud. Who could be so generous with a thousand yuan as pocket money for her mother-in-law? It would be great if her sister-in-law was there at this time.

Shen Yueying looked at Liu Xiangting and Liu Jinhui acting stupidly next to them. She probably didn't understand her hard work, and she felt in her heart that the thousand yuan was not even a splash.

"Mom and dad, just take this money. Your son can make money now. He earned ten or twenty thousand last month. This little money is nothing!" Shen Yueying continued.

Li Zongxun had already heard Li Weidong mention it, but the old lady was so shocked that she didn't notice. Shen Yueying put the money in the old lady's pocket.

A group of people marched home in a mighty manner, and Li Weidong did not forget to say, "Grandpa, please pack your things and move to my father's house in the next few days. There is no one at home!"

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this!" The old man didn't refuse. His son and grandson are all capable, and he doesn't have to live a hard life by himself. Everyone likes a house with bright and clean windows.

"In the evening, you two should stop cooking and eat at home. Will Wei Guo and Wei Min come back?" Li Weidong asked again.

"You young people get together. What happened to me in the past? I won't join in the fun!" Li Zongxun said with a smile, but he was happy to see his grandchildren getting along harmoniously.

On the way back, I met many villagers and neighbors who had returned from working in the fields. They shouted and greeted each other at the top of their lungs. The atmosphere of life in the village was very strong.

Like an old hen leading her chickens, Shen Yueying led a group of people behind her. She had to say hello to everyone she met and enjoyed the words-poor praises of the old sisters in the village.

Of course, these compliments are not necessarily directed at her, many of them are compliments for the group of kids behind her, which makes her happier than complimenting her for being well-dressed and young.

She is only in her fifties, has four grandchildren, and still has enough food and clothing. This blessing is envied by many people in the village.

The smile on her face never stopped until she got home. People have a sense of honor no matter how big or small. Shen Yueying's feeling now is the same as Gao Haiyan's feeling when he received a certificate in preschool.

In the evening, Li Weimin and Gao Anbang drove a single-row minivan back from the county seat. The car drove directly to the door of Li Chengwen's house. His wife and children were all here, and no one went home.

Years later, they registered a company in the county town. With the help of some connections, they received a small project with a red brick structure. The construction was not difficult. It was considered a test of the waters.

"Brother, why don't you stop by our place when passing by the county town? My brother-in-law and I have discussed that we will have extra lunch at the construction site at noon!" Li Weimin stopped the car, jumped out and said.

"You want to eat extra food? Look how fat you have become!" Looking back, he saw his brother-in-law also coming down, and said in surprise: "My brother-in-law's face is so dark and he feels like he has lost weight. What's wrong?"

"Both of us are worried about money. My brother-in-law can't eat when he's worried, and we tend to eat more when we're worried. Look, I'm getting fatter and fatter, and my brother-in-law is getting thinner and thinner!"

Li Weimin said with a smile while taking things from the car.

"Didn't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" Li Weidong said worriedly. Apart from the accident in his previous life, he had no other illnesses.

"Listen to his nonsense. When did I gain weight? I had gastroenteritis again a few days ago, and I also had diarrhea. Even a good person can't survive three bouts of diarrhea. I'm fine now!" Gao Anbang said cheerfully!

"That's good. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital for a check-up. Don't cause serious problems!" Li Weidong felt relieved after hearing this.

His brother-in-law's gastrointestinal illness doesn't last a day or two. It was caused by poor living conditions when he was a child, and it is estimated that he will stay with him for the rest of his life.
