The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 345 Full of children and grandchildren, longevity and longevity

Liu Xiangting is very generous. She is not disgusted with giving birth, and she also has a strong traditional idea of ​​more children and more blessings. "I can't blame me for this matter. Your brother is not willing, saying that the company must be run well first!"

"If you run a company, you won't have children. Your elder brother and sister-in-law are in charge of a company, so why don't you have children? This Weimin is really ignorant!" When Shen Yueying heard that her son didn't want to, she untied her thoughts. But even her own son can't stop her desire to have many children and grandchildren.

"Mom, my elder brother and sister-in-law are college students, and we won't be able to go to school after graduating from junior high school. That's incomparable!" Liu Xiangting knew that her husband's company was funded by her elder brother. It is natural to say a few words of compliment.

"I don't have that ability. I just go there every day to make a point. It's the same if I am in the company or not. I guess it will be better without me!" Liu Jinhui shook her head and laughed.

What she said was true. She didn't go these days, and the company's business was still going well without any turmoil.

After playing with the child for a while, Li Weidong yelled and took the bought things to his grandfather Li Zongxun's house. The whole family was magnificent.

What you want in the countryside is this kind of noodle, full of children and grandchildren, and a long life. What a good sign. Li Zongxun is only in his 70s this year, but he has already lived in the same family for four generations. There are already four great-grandchildren, and there are two more in his stomach. No one was born here!

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

Although the house is old, the cement roads in the village have not been missed at the door of every house, especially the relatives within Li Weidong's fifth service are given special care. There are even rumors that the village director saw that Li Weidong's branch has developed, so he wanted to curry favor with them. One too!

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

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

"Here!" Li Weidong led Li Qian to grandma, and the child was very strong, not afraid of strangers, and let the old lady hold hands.

Li Weidong looked at the three low tile-roofed houses. The walls inside were still made of mud bricks, which were very old. There are still many houses like this in the countryside these days, but after a few years, everyone became rich. The old house has almost disappeared.

Li Zongxun didn't have much ability in his life, and he had exhausted half his life's energy to marry his two sons. As for his own house, he probably had no idea.

Liu Jinhui was talking to the old lady. Although she was over 70, her eyes were clear and her ears were clear, and she knew it clearly in her heart. She didn't favor one person over another just because Li Weidong's family didn't come back often.

Every adult and child can share his collection of candies. This kind of old-fashioned honey three knives is so sweet that Li Weidong likes it. He ate several pieces in a row before he dared not continue eating because he was afraid of getting fat.

"Grandpa, don't you plan to rebuild this old house? I think the ground in the east room is damp. If you live in such a place for a long time, you will easily get arthritis!" Li Weidong said as he wandered around the room.

"Whatever you cover, you can still live for a few days. Maybe one day you will see the king of Hades as soon as you kick your feet. If you don't cover it, you're just wasting money!" Li Zongxun said, smoking a cigarette and shaking his head.

"73, 84 Hades doesn't tell me to go, I'm 72, and I still have a few years to live. If I can't pass this threshold, wouldn't the house I built be for nothing?"

"Your father or your second uncle, which one can take a fancy to this house? If I leave in two years, this house will slowly collapse like the others behind. You can't waste money!"

Hearing what the old man said, Li Weidong had a sore nose. His grandfather was old, and he really didn't have a few years to live, but even if he lived for a day, he had to live well.

"You can't say that. Now that the level of medical care is good, you can live a long life. You are only in your 70s this year, and you still have decades to live. You can't think like this!"

"Look, Li Tai can run all over the place, and Li Qian is over a year old. I'm sure we can see them marrying their wives. It's not a dream to work hard for five generations to live together!" Li Weidong said, pointing to the two children.

Li Zongxun looked at the children running around, and said with a smile: "It's nonsense, I want to live to a hundred, and see if they marry wives and have children, I can also see grandchildren!"

"What's the use of thinking about it, you have to have that life. Look at anyone in our village who has lived over ninety. Our ancestors didn't live long. I can close my eyes when I can wait for the soldiers to get married!"

Li Weidong thought for a while and said: "Who said no, the second grandpa in front, the old couple are almost ninety now, and they are still alive and well. It doesn't matter if they don't live to a hundred!"

Li Weidong remembers the two longest-lived people in their village. The most amazing thing is the couple. The woman lived to 99, and the man lived to [-]. If the sudden death of his son hadn't hit him, he might have lived longer. .

After living for such a long time, he survived his son and daughter, and was able to support himself in the last two years, which is a miracle of longevity in their village.

"That's different. He didn't make great efforts when he was young. He belongs to the poorest family. Your uncle grew up eating a lot of food. Who would have thought that he is still alive and kicking in his nineties now!"

Li Zongxun popularized the experience of the old man when he was young to Li Weidong. Li Weidong really didn't know that the old man had such a good experience when he was young.

Now looking at the old man with a big white beard and a fairy-tale personality, I didn't expect that he was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling when he was young.

Starting to live at the age of five or sixty, people can be considered to have lived a whole life again. How many people can't live past fifty or sixty.

"Grandpa, people can live to more than 90, why can't we, I think your house should be rebuilt!" Li Weidong still brought the topic to the house.

In his previous life, his grandfather lived for more than 80 years before he passed away, so there are still more than ten years left. If he takes care of himself well in this life, he may live for a few more years.

"Don't be afraid of wasting money, or I'll pay you the money!" Li Weidong said excitedly.

"I'm afraid I won't survive at ninety. How can I ask for your money to build a house? Even if I have no money, I still have your father and uncle. What's the matter with asking for your money?" The old man shook his head and said.

But the meaning in the words has been loosened. The older you are, the more you are afraid of death. Saying that you are not afraid of death is to give yourself courage. If you can live to ninety or one hundred, who would not like it?
But it’s not okay to use your grandson’s money. This is the rule. Raise a son to guard against old age. I have never heard of raising a grandson to guard against old age. It is normal for a son to respect his father.

The old man has his own insistence, and Li Weidong can't talk about using his own money anymore, but it's okay to use his father's money, as long as the house is rebuilt.

As for letting the old couple move to their son's house to live with the child, that would definitely not work, not to mention what the two sons thought, even the old man and the old lady couldn't stand it.

When you get old, you still have to look at other people's faces to live your life, it's so aggrieved, it's better to live comfortably by yourself.

"That's fine, you can ask my father for it, he can earn money now, hundreds of dollars a day, if he can't show filial piety in front of you, he can get some money, and he should share his money!"

When Li Weidong heard the old man say that he was going to build a house, he quickly blocked it with words, but there is no phone in the village, so if he wants to contact Li Chengwen, he has to go to the county to make an international call, otherwise he will kill this matter now, saving money What will be repeated in the future.

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

"Earn hundreds of dollars, why do you earn hundreds of dollars?" Li Zongxun's tone was raised eight degrees. As for whether his son should take the money, it was no longer the focus of attention.

Li Weidong's words startled Li Zongxun. He really didn't dare to think about what it would be like to earn hundreds of dollars a day. He also felt that earning a few hundred dollars a month was not low.

"Isn't my father good at carpentry? He set up a carpenter's shop on Hong Kong Island, took in a few apprentices, and made some tables, chairs and benches. The work is not bad, and people in Hong Kong Island like it!"

"The price over there is also high. For a chair like yours, don't use old elm, just ordinary acacia wood. It's easy to sell for a few hundred yuan!"

Li Chengwen's craftsmanship is quite good, most of them are handmade, and the shape is also good-looking. There are still some markets in Hong Kong Island, and the main reason is to pursue the original ecology of pure handmade.

And in order to avoid being fined by the Environmental Protection Agency, the furniture he makes is all solid wood furniture, with only one layer of varnish on it, 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, these solid wood furniture can reflect the texture effect of the wood itself, and it looks more like a log furniture visual effect, which has adapted to a group of customers.

In addition to some office furniture originally customized by several companies under the name of Li Weidong, Li Chengwen also took on a lot of jobs that value this craftsmanship, and the business is 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's craftsmanship is good, and he has received the true teaching of his master. The hardships of those years were not in vain!"

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

This second Yang is Li Chengwen's carpenter, about the same age as Li Zongxun, and he must be seventy now. The old man attaches great importance to his master's succession, and Li Chengwen always visits him during the New Year and holidays.

"That's not because you didn't come back because you made money. The carpenter's shop is too busy. If you can't make what people want, isn't it just a breach of trust? How can you do business after being dishonest?"

Li Weidong maintained Li Chengwen's face, and he couldn't let the old man have the impression that his father would not come back just to make money. Although it was still to make money, but when he mentioned integrity, he exaggerated the problem.

"That's what it should be. If someone pays someone to work for him, he has to follow his 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 to make money, but the supply and marketing cooperatives later messed up these thousands of years of rules.

After playing all afternoon, it was getting late, the children were tired, and those who went out should come back, and they should go back, Shen Yueying took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to the old lady.

"What is this for? We have money ourselves, let's talk about how much money we can spend, so hurry up and take it back!" The old lady is a strong person, and she is not willing to accept the money from Shen Yueying.

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

Shen Yueying insisted on putting the money into the hands of the old lady. If she said how much she wanted to give money to her mother-in-law, it would be wrong, but she had to make a show, and there were two daughters-in-law standing beside her!
She has to tell them with actions that you have to learn from me in the future, and you have to honor your parents, mother-in-law is also a mother.

However, Shen Yueying was extremely proud in her heart. Who could give out 1000 yuan so generously to her mother-in-law as pocket money? It would be great if her sister-in-law was here at this time.

Shen Yueying looked at Liu Xiangting and Liu Jinhui in a daze beside them, and probably didn't understand her painstaking efforts, and felt that the 1000 yuan didn't even make a splash.

"Father and mother, you can take this money. Your son can earn money now. Last month he earned [-] to [-] yuan. This amount of 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 pay attention, so Shen Yueying put the money in the old lady's pocket.

A group of people headed home in a mighty way, and Li Weidong still didn't forget to say, "Grandpa, pack up your things, and move to my father's place for a few days, and there is no one at home!"

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

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

"You young people get together, what's the matter with 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 came back from working in the fields, shouting and greeting at the top of their voices along the way, and the atmosphere of life in the village is very strong.

Like an old hen leading a chick, Shen Yueying leads a group of people behind her, and she has to say hello to everyone, enjoying the lack of words from the old sisters in the village.

Of course, these compliments are not necessarily aimed at her, many of them are compliments to the group of brats behind, which makes her happier than complimenting her on being well dressed and being young again.

She is only in her 50s, has four grandchildren, and has no worries about food and clothing. This blessing is envied by many villagers.

When she got home, the smile on her face never stopped. People have a sense of honor regardless of size. Shen Yueying's feeling now is the same as Gao Haiyan's feeling when he won a certificate in preschool.

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

Years later, they registered a company in the county seat. With the help of some connections, they received a small project with a red brick structure. The construction was not difficult, and it was a battle to test the waters.

"Brother, why don't you visit us when you pass by the county? My brother-in-law and I have discussed it. We will have extra lunch at the construction site at noon!" Li Weimin stopped the car, jumped down and said.

"It's you who want to add a meal. Look at how fat you are!" Looking back at her brother-in-law who also came down, she said in surprise: "My brother-in-law's face is so dark and he feels thinner. What's wrong?"

"The two 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 my brother-in-law is getting 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 didn't have any other diseases.

"Listen to his nonsense, when did I gain weight? A few days ago, I had gastroenteritis again, and I still had diarrhea. A good person can't survive three times of diarrhea. Now I'm all right!" Gao Anbang said heartily.

"That's good. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital for an examination, and don't drag out any serious problems!" Li Weidong was relieved after hearing this.

His brother-in-law's gastrointestinal problems have not been a day or two, and the root cause of the disease, which was caused by poor conditions when he was a child, will probably be with him for the rest of his life.
