The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 266 The Meaning of Life

Hearing that Li Weidong agreed, the old man became happy. He has been the village director for so many years and he can't say how innocent he is, but at most he only takes bags of noodles and buckets of oil from the village, and the big money has never been touched.

If Li Weidong is not allowed to look at the account, he always feels uneasy, and always feels that he will be misunderstood and greedy for money. In fact, to put it bluntly, he wants to prove that he has the heart but not the guts.

Moreover, the village's income this year is much better than before, and I want to talk to Li Weidong, a capable person, that the village's enthusiasm for paying public grain payments is much better than in previous years.

Anyone with a labor force in the family can go to the gravel factory to earn some wages, and the rent in the village will naturally bring in a lot of money. It is the best year since the production contracted to the household.

A meeting in the village decided that this year's Spring Festival, every household will be given new year's goods. Flour and peanut oil are produced here, but for the self-sufficient people, rice is a foreign product, which is still quite rare!

He can hold his head up when he walks in the village, and the young and old in the village he meets always ask him politely what new year's goods he is giving out, and he can always say grandly: "I will know when the time comes, why worry?"

How many years has it been? Since the production contract has been distributed to households, which year will the village give out something to the people for the New Year? Now he feels that the distribution is less, should he give more?
Li Weidong has contributed to the gravel factory, and now some people in the village are working in the cement factory. No one knows that this is a factory run by Li Weidong's friend, and this affection has to be remembered by Li Weidong.

Li Zongqi and Li Weidong "reported" the situation in the village this year, about how much they earned, how much they spent, how much they had left over, and what they planned to do next year. The smiles on their faces never stopped.

Li Weidong, who is well versed in this way, naturally leaked admiration, and said when he arrived, "With a leader like you in the village, the day when our village can become well-off is not far away."

With Li Weidong's words, Li Zongqi seems to feel that he really has the ability to lead the villagers to become rich. According to the growth rate of the past two years, the per capita annual income will exceed [-] yuan in a few years, which is a piece of cake.

Li Weidong came out with the old man's warm welcome, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Why didn't he find that the old man could talk so much before? Could it be that he had no money before and was too depressed.

Feeling cold after leaving the house, Li Weidong wrapped his clothes and walked towards the house with a bag of walnuts. Li Weidong was carrying wine, and it was normal for someone to give a gift in return.

Moreover, they asked Li Weidong to take the wine back if they said they didn't accept it. If they really took it back, the nature would change. In desperation, Li Weidong had no choice but to accept it.

Halfway there, he saw a flickering bright spot in front of him. Anyone who smokes often knows that someone is smoking. Li Weidong stopped for a while and continued walking forward.

Fast forward to the bright spot, the man saw Li Weidong clearly, and said, "Just now I went to look for you at your house, and my aunt said that you went to the third grandfather's place. I didn't expect to meet you here. I knew I was waiting at your house!"

Li Weidong also saw clearly that the person who came was Li Sanyuan, and said, "Third brother, I'm not busy today, what do you want me to do?"

Li Sanyuan took out the cigarette case and handed one to Li Weidong, and said, "You are outrageous, we are all brothers, so we can't chat with you if we have nothing to do?"

Li Weidong lit a cigarette and didn't speak. If it's okay, anyone who goes out in this winter will be hot on the kang with his wife and children at home!

Li Sanyuan said frustratedly: "Well, what's the matter, no one believes me to tell the truth? I'm really fine. I just watched the gravel factory stop in the cold weather, and the gravel money to the south of the cement plant was also settled. Alright, shall we brothers have a meal?"

Li Sanyuan can't say it, because your brother has made a lot of money, so he wants to treat you to dinner, that seems extravagant.

Li Weidong said: "Third brother, you don't need to be so polite, business is mutually beneficial, and it is impossible for others to look at my face and lose money. Everyone has to earn this to continue and last long, so you Don't thank anyone!"

If Li Sanyuan didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that Li Weidong doesn't know. If he knows, he can't pretend to be confused. Moreover, Li Weidong can't be vague about such a sneaky person, he has to make his words clear.

Li Sanyuan said: "Okay, brother, thank you brother for your help, let's drink together at the end of the year!"

Li Weidong said yes, and the two said a few more polite words before Li Sanyuan left.

Li Weidong continued to walk home, but he also felt that something was different. Yin Ning Ma Weidong changed, Li Sanyuan changed, the village director changed, and everyone changed.

In his previous life, he didn't have this ability, but in this life, it feels different. They are all rushing to curry favor with him. It is estimated that fewer and fewer people will come back from this family in the future!
When I got home, it was past nine o'clock. Li Qian probably slept a lot during the day, but he was still very energetic now, and the one who rolled around on the bed just didn't sleep.

Shen Yueying was sitting in the west room, Li Weihong and Liu Jinhui were watching TV while watching Li Qian, his father Li Chengwen was leaning on the radiator in the main room and watching TV.

Li Chengwen turned his head and saw that it was Li Weidong who had come in, so he ignored it with disgust, and continued to watch TV. Now that Handong Satellite TV is on the satellite, they can also receive the signal in this mountain nest.

Now in the winter, watching TV has become a more fashionable activity in the countryside. Now most homes can have a [-]-inch TV, and better ones can have a [-]-inch TV. Don't talk about other people's homes.

Li Weidong was quite bored. In the west room, their mothers watched TV and chatted, sometimes the chats were more explicit. It would be a bit embarrassing for him to go, and now he can only be under the same roof as Li Chengwen.

After holding back for a long time, Li Chengwen finally asked, "What did the village say?"

Li Weidong said: "Just report it when it is built. You can see what kind of foundation it is, and draw a picture for the village to stamp!"

"I said no need to go, that's not the case when I went, and I also took two bottles of wine, where did they come to drink that wine, you are really free!"

"Didn't they give back a bag of walnuts? Walnuts are such a good thing. They nourish the brain. Besides, if someone in the village makes trouble, we have a reason and no one can say anything?"

Li Weidong said helplessly that there is no shortage of wine in his family, but Li Chengwen is not willing to give it away at all, especially if he thinks it should not be given away.

"How much are those walnuts worth, and how much are those two bottles of wine worth? No one can settle this account!" Although he said this, he also felt that his son had considered everything thoroughly.

Li Chengwen has lived comfortably in the past two years, he doesn't have to work hard like before to build houses and make furniture for others, and he doesn't have to envy other people's houses when he is working.

No matter how his son's nose is not his nose, his eyes are not his eyes, but he is proud of his daughters and daughters, each of whom has his own career and studies.

Apart from not listening to him very much, it seems that there is no such outstanding kid in the whole town.

Sometimes he thinks, what is the use of his life to the child? Maybe his full value has been fulfilled, and the full meaning of his life has been achieved. Aren't parents living hard for the child?
"Your mother said that you want to travel to Hong Kong Island for the New Year. Let me tell you about it. I definitely can't agree. I want to go with you. I'm not going anywhere. Is it reasonable to not be at home during the New Year?"

Li Weidong looked embarrassed, his mother agreed, but Li Chengwen, who liked new things, was stuck.

Li Chengwen took a big breath, and continued: "I won't go to celebrate the New Year, but traveling in the past is okay. Let's come back two days after the New Year. You don't need to pay for the travel expenses, but we have agreed that we have to go by plane. You can't take the train anymore!"

Before Li Weihong returned to his hometown, he told him that his brother promised him to travel to Hong Kong Island.
