The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 373 Volunteers
"You can really tell, a stone has been exposed to wind and sun for tens of millions of years, wouldn't it be more time-honored!"

This is just trying to raise the bar, Li Weidong absolutely can't accept this, otherwise it will be another happy night.

Li Weidong ran downstairs, helped Shen Yueying turn over the fish pieces, and talked about the house intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, Wei Guo gave birth and we didn't go back. Your aunt doesn't know how to arrange for me!" Shen Yueying thought of this first when she talked about family affairs.

It was originally agreed to go back, the air tickets were all booked, Li Weidong had arranged for someone to pick him up in Qizhou, and the car from Qizhou Airport to his hometown was also ready.

Everything was ready and I owed Dongfeng, but the typhoon came before Dongfeng came. At that time, there were more typhoons in July and August. The flight for that day was cancelled, and I couldn’t catch up with the train, so I had to end the trip.

"That can't be done. You didn't go back. Didn't Weimin give you 1000 yuan? It's the only one in our village. Even if your grandson was born, you didn't give that much!"

"That's right, not to mention the village, even the entire Qiushan didn't give so much. Hey, you said that you gave so much at the beginning, and it felt a little thoughtless. Do you have to be scolded?"

Shen Yueying arranged the last piece of fish, clapped her hands, and said with some concern, at that time, she thought that her brother's family would not be able to go back, so she was a little embarrassed.

And the ticket price is fully refunded, so just give more, this economic account is suitable no matter how you calculate it.

But when I thought about it later, it was wrong. This is not looking for scolding. Why do you show off when you have money?
"Mom, I'm sure not. Anyone who knows must say that you are open-minded. If you give 300 and two hundred, then you will be hated!"

Three or two hundred, there is a comparison, although it is difficult for everyone, but you can still get it if you work hard, if you give one thousand directly, the level is too high, the level is too high, and the comparison is stopped.

"That's true, it's fine if your aunt doesn't say anything!" Shen Yueying was right when she thought about it, she thought about the problem for several days, and asked her son to explain it clearly in one sentence, and she felt relieved.

"My second aunt certainly can't say that it's time for her to spend money. If you don't go back and return so much money, I can only thank you for your kindness!" Li Weidong continued to comfort.

"Although I gave it in the matter, I can't forget it when I go back. I can't meet empty-handed for the first time. I have to get some gifts!" Shen Yueying thought about spending money again. That's it.

Who asked his son to give his granddaughter a full moon wine, the hometown didn't notify anyone, otherwise the courtesy could be reciprocated, and a little bit could be taken back.

She didn't expect to notify people so far away, and they couldn't come. This is equivalent to asking for gift money from them. Li Weidong couldn't afford to lose this person.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, why don't you go back then?" Li Weidong asked tentatively.

"Let's go back, what are you going to do here?"

Of course Shen Yueying wanted to go back, but her granddaughter was still so young, and her daughter-in-law had already expressed her opinion many times. When she went back next spring, what could she do.

It's not like she hasn't thought about how the child will be affected without her. After much deliberation, she came to the conclusion that as long as her son and daughter-in-law work hard, it will be the same with her or without her!
Even so, she couldn't say something like letting her son stay at home to look after the children. After coming to Hong Kong Island for so long, she knew a little bit about some things, and knew how big her son's business was!

Is it plausible that a boss who is engaged in such a big business has nothing to do every day and takes care of the children at home!
After Li Weidong heard this, he knew that his old lady wanted to go back, but he was worried about him, and he knew it in his heart.

"You don't have to worry about it here, there are nanny and bodyguards, and I don't have to travel on business, and the child's mother doesn't go to work now!"

"That's not okay, your job is not fixed, you might leave at any time, leaving the mothers behind, you can rest assured, I'm still here!"

"What are you afraid of? You don't want to stay long when you go back. Come back after the new year. I'll send someone to pick you up then!" Li Weidong continued, basically he didn't need to travel.

"Then let's talk about it. When your father comes back, I will discuss it with him. The furniture factory can't leave people. There are more and more jobs. If it weren't for the recruitment of two workers, it would be too busy!"

Li Chengwen managed the furniture factory very well. Apart from various expenses, he earned tens of thousands of dollars every month. If conditions did not allow him, he would not even want to rest for a day.

There was no opportunity to make money before, but now there is such an opportunity to make money, if you don't work hard to make money, you will be punished by God, and you will be struck by lightning when you go out.

"You have to rest when you should rest. It's not bad to earn money these few days. Besides, it's fine to arrange it. If it's a big deal, work slowly. Besides, my father hasn't been back for a year. It's not good if he doesn't go back after the Chinese New Year!"

"Who says it's not, your grandpa, grandma, your grandma and grandpa are all old, and they didn't feel like being at home every day before, but now they can't see each other, so I miss them!"

"That's it. Wei Hong will also be on vacation in a few days. If you want to go back, I will go back with you, stay in my hometown for a few days, and come back before school starts!"

"What kind of school are you talking about here? There is no holiday during the Chinese New Year, so it is still an annual holiday, and you have to go back to school for the New Year. Didn't you start school after the [-]th?"

"This is Hong Kong Island, which is different from ours!" Although Li Weidong couldn't accept it, in his impression, the winter vacation is the annual vacation, but school cannot start on the [-]th.

Although he made a few complaints, the matter is probably settled like this, and Li Chengwen's opinion is not important. If there is any idea, Shen Yueying has a way to solve it.

No need for anything else, just nagging every day is unbearable, maybe sometimes it's not because I'm afraid of my daughter-in-law, but because I can't stand the compromise of the nagging.

In the evening, Li Weidong told Liu Jinhui about this, so that she would be prepared, but don't have any other thoughts, otherwise it would be another factor for the unstable relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Wei Hong is going back too? Last time I heard that she made an appointment with her classmates to participate in some volunteer activities?"

Liu Jinhui has no objection to her father-in-law and mother-in-law going back, after all, she is considered a contemporary high-level intellectual.

High-level intellectuals don't easily quarrel, and if they quarrel, they will have a hard time. This is different from rural women comrades, who will be fine after a few days.

"What are you going to do, be a voluntary propagandist on the street or be an environmental protection volunteer picking up trash?"

Li Weidong must have misunderstood the volunteers!
"Being a volunteer is very good. Not only can you give love back to the society, but you can also broaden your social experience, which is good for your future work and life. It's not as bad as you said!"

"When a volunteer picks up garbage, it's better to go back to my hometown to plow the land and support the farmers. I know what it means to work hard!" Li Weidong said disdainfully.

"It's a holiday, go home and help your parents cook, wash and clean. It's more meaningful than being a volunteer. If you want to repay the society, you must first repay your parents and repay your family!"

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm just messing around, I'll give you the child, you can hold it!" Liu Jinhui was a little annoyed after hearing this, and said, putting the child in Li Weidong's arms.

Li Weidong cares about the comfort of his mouth, but what he said is not polite at all. Now that Liu Jinhui is angry, this is a big deal, not just because he is afraid of Liu Jinhui's anger.

The main reason is that the child's mother will be angry, and the child's ration output will be reduced. The quantity is not much, and the quality is not sure if it is good. If it is less, it will not be enough.

"I just said it casually, you see you are still angry, you can't be angry now, it's easy to reflux!"

"I said that your mind is full of children now, and you still say no, now it's exposed!" Liu Jinhui became even angrier after hearing this.

Li Weidong hugged Li Rui carefully, and then looked at Liu Jinhui. This is a sign of postpartum depression!

After the birth of a child, the family's care target instantly changes from the pregnant woman to the baby. This gap is too obvious, which shocks the mother's heart too much. Of course, this is also the opinion of the family.

Knowing the cause of the disease, there will naturally be a solution. There is nothing between husband and wife that cannot be solved by plowing. If there is, it means that either the plow is bad or the cattle are bad.

No matter how rich Li Weidong is, he still has to sacrifice his appearance for his daughter in exchange for a delicious meal. Thinking about his life, he will be happy.

Sure enough, Li Weihong was somewhat resistant to going home. She had been studying at Island University of Hong Kong for a few months. She was a young person with many common topics, and she had already integrated into her classmates.

Moreover, Li Weihong is an international student from the Mainland. Many people are curious about the Mainland. Li Weihong has opened a window for them to understand the Mainland.

Although Li Weihong did not deliberately show off, and sometimes even tried to keep a low profile as much as possible, but he was transferred from the mainland, how can he be an ordinary person.

Therefore, her classmates will try a few words intentionally or unconsciously, and do mental calculations or unintentional calculations. Although Li Weihong's background has not been found out, they also know that he has a rich brother.

Knowing that there is such a big money, many students are naturally willing to make friends with her, and Li Weihong also wants to integrate into this environment as soon as possible, so it is natural that they hit it off.

So her classmates have increased, and some things will naturally call her, such as the volunteer work this time, there must be a rich man in it, so it must be less difficult.

"I still want to participate in volunteer activities, as a volunteer, in the future I will apply for scholarships, apply for dormitories, etc. Many of them need a volunteer certificate!"

Li Weihong talked about the significance of the work she was going to do, and hoped to get the support of her parents and brother. Only the support of her sister-in-law was not enough.

"You go back to our village and ask your third grandfather to stamp you with the seal of the village committee, saying that you helped the village clean the streets and pick up trash, isn't that different?"

Shen Yueying listened to Li Weihong's words, her face drooped, and she felt that this was a waste of people. A good college student would go to the streets to pick up garbage and clean up in the orphanage, so she was a little angry.

As soon as Li Weidong said this, he almost burst out laughing, but Liu Jinhui couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, seeing her mother-in-law's complexion, she quickly corrected her attitude.

"Mother, you don't understand, can our place be the same as the one here? People can recognize the seal of our village committee, brother, don't you think so?"

Li Weihong also almost lost her temper. She talked for a long time, and her mother just said such a sentence, and she talked about her feelings for a long time, but it was useless.

"Why is it different? They are all autonomous grassroots organizations. Why can't the stamps stamped by the community be the same as the stamps stamped on you by our village?"

Li Weidong also followed the nonsense. He felt that what Shen Yueying said was right. It would be good to go back to the village to clean the streets every day. Anyway, the cement road he sponsored in the village was easy to clean.

"Brother, how could you do this!!" Li Weihong's voice was resentful, as if he felt betrayed.

"Okay, if you want to go, you can take advantage of these few days to participate, and you don't have to work all the time. After a few days, our father has arranged the work in the factory, and then we will go back!"

Li Weidong was unmoved!
"We have made an appointment, how can we change it casually?"

Li Weihong still wanted to fight for it, and looked at Liu Jinhui pitifully, she knew that Li Weidong's decisions were usually not easy to change, and it was almost her sister-in-law who asked him to change.

Naturally, Liu Jinhui didn't get involved at this time. Brother-in-law and sister-in-law are the same. It's best not to get involved too much in their affairs, just watch.

"Okay, that's it, or you won't go, and I'm still counting on you to apply for a scholarship?"

Li Weidong made a final decision and said, "There is also the matter of applying for a dormitory, so don't worry about it!"

The dormitories in the school are seriously insufficient. If you want to live in a dormitory, you have to apply. As long as you apply, there are articles to do in it. The advantage of capitalism is a paradise for the rich.

Li Weihong sighed helplessly, and sat down on the sofa, leaning against the backrest, feeling weak.

She likes the temperature here, and she is willing to stay here. Of course, it doesn't mean that she doesn't like her hometown, but she really loves the winter in her hometown.

"It's good to go back and have a look. After you graduate and get married, it will be difficult even if you want to go back!" Li Weidong sighed and said softly when he saw her.

Since Li Weidong won the May [-]st Labor Medal, he has not returned to his hometown once.

Occasionally speaking with my younger brother and brother-in-law, I can hear something, and I can guess what it will be like when he returns to the county.

Although it is not impossible to go back, it will not be so easy to go back, and it will definitely mobilize people.

"Understood, you didn't say you'd go back. I thought I was celebrating the New Year here like last year, so I didn't care about the time. Now that you're doing it all of a sudden, the plan is completely messed up!"

Li Weidong rarely sat next to Li Weihong, pretending to listen, and waited for Li Weihong to finish speaking before he spoke.

"It's okay. If you participate in this kind of event, you will participate. If you don't participate, there is no big loss. If it is really for that certificate, I don't think you should waste this time!"

"If you have that time, it's better to do something meaningful, such as conducting a social survey to see what the living conditions of most people on Hong Kong Island are, and whether they are as good as you think!"

"After my own investigation and research, write a report and publish it in domestic newspapers and magazines, and give those who cannot afford to come to Hong Kong Island a chance to learn more about Hong Kong Island. This is better than picking up garbage and cleaning the orphanage. It makes more sense!"

Li Weihong sat up and suddenly became more interested in this proposal. Is there anything better than this to understand the living conditions of this society!

In the evening, Liu Jinhui suddenly asked, "You said that our children will study abroad when they grow up. Do you support it?"

"As long as he has the ability, he will be admitted to Harvard and Massachusetts, of course he is supported!"

Li Weidong said without thinking, even in 20 years, if you want to do something real in school, you still have to go to a world-renowned school.

"Then he also wants to do volunteer work, and you support it?"

"Of course I support it!"

"Then you are a double standard, why don't you support Wei Hong?"

"No, it's different from the environment in which she grew up. Wei Hong grew up in the countryside. Strictly speaking, her elementary school was actually part-time work-study!"

"When I was in elementary school, I helped my family with farm work, and I have a very clear understanding of labor. A considerable part of them are admitted to college because they are afraid of working!"

"Children in the city, if they can help mop the floor at home, they are good children. You said that when Li Qian and his generation grow up, how many of them will be able to recognize whether the crops are planted with sorghum or corn?"
