The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 457 Sheng Mien, Dou Mi Chou

The parent officer mentioned it, and Li Weimin also agreed, so he couldn't break his promise. Li Weidong pondered for a while and said: "After the year, I will arrange it!"

"I'll listen to you!" Li Weimin replied. What he was most afraid of was that Li Weidong talked for a long time and didn't give face. Now that Li Weidong agreed, he was already happy enough.

"Wait a minute!" Li Weidong turned around and went upstairs, and came down with a black plastic bag in his hand after a while, and he could tell by his body shape that it contained cash.

"You will go to the village committee later and help me send this money over!"

"What money, for those five-guarantee households?" Li Weimin said blankly.

Li Weidong nodded!

"Giving it every year, it's because of their habit!" Li Weimin muttered in a low voice.

"What a lot of nonsense!"

"Brother, you didn't want to say it before, and you always sent them in the name of the village, but now everyone knows that if you give it in the future, you have to keep giving it!"

"How to say that word, what is it called Sheng, what is it called Dou..." Li Weimin scratched his head and couldn't think of it.

"Sheng Mien, Dou Michou!" Li Weidong reminded.

"That's right, that's the word. If you get used to it, they all think you should give it!" Li Weimin said suddenly.

"Tell me, among the five-guarantee households in our village, except for the two childless ones, which one of them didn't idle around when they were young and couldn't marry a wife!"

"The fifth old man in Xitou, when he was young, he drank and gambled. He couldn't earn any work points. He finally married a daughter-in-law and ran away hungry. Doesn't he deserve it?"

"It's good now. I have become a five-guarantee household. I receive 3000 yuan a year. I have fish and meat every day, and I can drink two glasses. It is better than those who live a normal life!"

"Let's not talk about it far away, just talk about the house in the front yard. What kind of life does their family live in, they are not willing to eat two dishes, so they can see some meat when they are tired from farming!"

Li Weimin was filled with righteous indignation when he said it, and looked up at his brother who did not speak, and his voice gradually became smaller, "You build bridges and roads in the village, dig wells and canals, everyone likes you, but you give those five-guarantee households such A lot of money, a lot of sarcastic remarks!"

Li Weidong took out a cigarette, threw one to Li Weimin, lit one himself, and smoked without saying a word.

The first time I gave money to a five-guarantee household, it was because he passed by the door of a five-guarantee household that winter, and it was a bit unbearable to see his tattered clothes.

I didn't expect that the one who couldn't bear it at the beginning showed a little kindness, and it caused such a bad influence on him. How much money was given?

"Burn it with money!" Li Chengwen came out of the room and said angrily.

When Li Weidong heard his father's words, he knew even more that although his behavior made some people feel comfortable, there were also many people who felt uncomfortable.

"If you give this money to the village, you can say that it is to buy some New Year's goods, rice, flour, grain and oil for the needy households and the elderly in the village!" Li Weidong said after a moment of hesitation.

Then he sighed and added: "Five Guarantee households will pay more, don't pay directly!"

What he did before did indeed disrupt the balance of the village, he did bad things with good intentions, and to a certain extent contributed to a sense of prestige and evil.

This little money was nothing to him, but he didn't want him to become a topic of discussion behind the villagers' backs because of this little money.

He would come back every year to celebrate the New Year, if he came back once in a while, it doesn't matter if you give more or less, it's all one-time anyway.

It's just that these days, if you have money, it's the original sin. If you don't take care of everyone, it's like a crime not to share with everyone.

This kind of brain circuit is very strange, the key is that you have no way to correct it, otherwise public opinion will make you a typical example of rich and unkind.

Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a tradition of returning home with rich clothes and throwing money when entering the village, and Li Weidong is no exception.

"It's about a hundred thousand, how much do I have to buy?" Li Weimin muttered in a low voice, but he still listened to his brother and left the house with a pile of money.

Today is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and you have to hurry up to buy new year's goods, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with the new year!
"Don't come back during the Chinese New Year in the future, it will make the teachers mobilize the crowd, and the family will not live in peace!" Li Chengwen said with a sigh.

"This is his home, where can he go if he doesn't come back?" Shen Yueying also came out and chimed in.

"Where will I go if I don't come back, why don't we all celebrate the New Year in Qizhou?"

Although Li Weidong disagreed with his father's words, he felt that there was some truth in it. Since he came home, there has been no family breakup.

It is estimated that now that the news has spread, more people will come, and the key is that they are all from the village. If they don't see them, they will look down on them.

In Qizhou, he could do whatever he wanted, and even these people might not have the opportunity to meet Li Weidong, so they were dismissed.

"Your grandparents are here, does it make sense for me to go to Qizhou?" Li Chengwen waved his hand and said.

"That's it!" Li Weidong spread his hands helplessly. The reason is the same. Wherever Li Chengwen and his wife are, they have to go to celebrate the New Year.

In the afternoon, Li Weibing came back with his wife Wu Wei, which kind of lowered the temperature of Li Weidong's hot search.

After all, everyone has known about Li Weidong's wealth for a long time, and they are also familiar with Li Weidong, but Wu Wei is a newcomer for the first time, so the popularity is naturally higher.

Wu Wei is good-looking, well-educated, and a college student, causing quite a stir in the village as soon as she made her debut.

Compared with the fluctuation when Li Weidong married Liu Jinhui back then, after all, Liu Jinhui and Li Weidong were well-matched, both college students.

But Li Weibing is different. He dropped out of junior high school and is a typical example of disappointment in everyone's eyes. Now he is not only rich, but also married a daughter-in-law of a college student.

Suddenly became a typical toad, listening to it is very inspirational, very attractive, and it is only natural to cause a sensation!

Anyway, Li Weidong never stopped smiling when he saw his second aunt's face. She probably didn't expect that this disobedient little son gave her such a big face.

The speed of buying New Year's goods in the village was faster than expected. In the morning, Li Weimin sent the money over. At noon, the village came to thank Li Weidong. In the afternoon, the things were delivered to the village committee.

The news that everyone in the village was asked to receive things spread quickly, but various voices appeared, and most of them were naturally happy. After all, there are still a lot of new year's goods.

But the former five-guarantee households also have different opinions. The 3000 yuan is gone, and it has been replaced by a few hundred yuan for new year goods. Although it is a little more than others, the gap is too big.

Some people even said, "Why use our money to give everyone New Year's goods!"

Li Weidong was not at the scene, so naturally he didn't have first-hand information, but Li Weimin learned from him vividly, and he sighed in his heart, human nature is really unreliable.

"Why are you so happy?" Li Weidong looked at Li Weimin's expression and the way his hands and feet danced, and said angrily.

"I'm not happy, I just feel worthless. You can say such things about them. What kind of thing is this? If it weren't for the elders, I would definitely slap my mouth!"

"See what you can do. If you really dare to fight, I will really have someone to rely on in the second half!" Li Weidong became even more angry.

"The main reason is that what you said is too irritating, and it's appropriate for them to die!" Li Weimin said indignantly.

"Okay, that's it. Are you going to kill pigs and sheep tomorrow? Hurry up and get busy, don't be an eyesore here!" Li Weidong waved his hands, not wanting to hear any more.

He himself is not a very magnanimous person, and the magnanimity is only because he lived an extra life, saw more, and saw many things away.

Looking at it, it doesn't mean that he has no temper. Money doesn't matter to him. The money is not enough for him to wear clothes, but spending money to scold him makes people angry!

"I'm going right away!" Li Weimin knew from Li Weidong's expression that he was very angry, so he ran away quickly, he didn't want to keep hitting the gun.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for killing pigs. The pigs are bought in the village, so they can come here early tomorrow morning. The sheep will be delivered tonight, and he doesn’t have to do anything except eat!
But my brother said, Li Weimin has to pretend to be busy!
Butchering pigs is a skillful job, and it is also a courageous job. It is said that pig butchers have a murderous look on them, and children will be scared when they see it.

However, as far as the matter of killing pigs is concerned, it is extremely attractive to children. It may be very attractive to watch the pig-killing knife across the meat.

It is estimated that people have this kind of gene for holding a knife in their bones. If something goes wrong, they want to use a kitchen knife and make a splash!
On the night of New Year’s Eve, after the reunion dinner, as if a certain ceremony had ended, according to tradition, the villagers would gather together to play cards, play mahjong and chat.

After playing two rounds, Li Weidong became a little discouraged, and the fun of playing dropped a lot. The main reason was that the "card luck" was too good.

In the past few years, he could still lose a few games. In the past two years, everyone's pockets have bulged, and he has won more and more, so that Li Weidong can't find the fun of playing.

He doesn't know what level he is, it's too boring to deliberately release water!

"Who will do two laps for me, I'll put some water!" Li Weidong touched the cigarette on the table, lit it, and walked out while talking.

As soon as Li Weidong went out, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Weidong, wait for me, you don't wear clothes when you come out, you think you are at home!"

"When I go to the toilet, I still need to wear a down jacket. I think a sweater can survive the winter!" Li Weidong recognized Li Wen's voice and responded with a smile.

"You thought it was when you were a child, we could stay up all night during Chinese New Year, but now it's a miracle to stay up until twelve o'clock!" Li Wen also recalled.

"Yes, it's different now than when I was a child!" Li Weidong took the down jacket and put it on, then sighed.

"Yeah, how innocent I was back then, I was happy for a long time picking up a dumb firecracker, but now I can only be happy for two minutes if I win 200 yuan!"

"We are not very old, so don't be a few days older than me, and don't be sentimental here. How is sister-in-law?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"It's still the same, the person picked it up, but I don't talk to my mother, I'm so worried!" Li Wen said depressedly, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Why don't they talk?" Li Weidong asked heuristically.

"It's not...!" Li Wen didn't continue after speaking halfway, he knew that Li Weidong could understand what he meant.

"If you want to have a son, the kind that must be born, then why are you hesitating, and look for it after you leave?" Li Weidong said thoughtfully.

"You said it lightly, so am I still human!" Li Wen rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Then he sighed again: "It's all fate. I've also seen Entering Science, and I know what's going on with tadpoles. It's not up to us to make decisions about having children!"

"Is there someone outside?" Li Weidong continued to ask.

"How can I be in that mood, how can this happen!" Li Wen said with a wry smile.

"This is not about the two of you. The relationship of this marriage is nothing more than internal and external. The internal part is the disagreement between you two!"

"It's not an internal problem, it's an external problem. As for the external problem, it can only be because of your mother. Don't deny it!" Li Weidong said again.

Li Wen glanced at Li Weidong, opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Listen to my brother's advice, live your own life, and don't let the old people interfere in your life, otherwise it will be bad!"

"Although depression is not a serious illness, it can kill people. Take my sister-in-law to the hospital. Qizhou is also fine, and Beijing is also fine. We all have people, and we will be cured after taking the medicine for a while!" Li Weidong patted Li Wen said over his shoulder.

Li Weidong went into the toilet to drain the water, and Li Wen was still standing there. Li Weidong didn't know how true his words were, whether it was true that he should not have a son, or whether he really believed in fate.

In short, Li Weidong feels that he should take some responsibility, because this is caused by the butterfly effect caused by him. In his previous life, Li Wen gave birth to a son in his first child.

After going back, Li Weidong stopped playing at the poker table, and stood on the sidelines watching others play, at least it was much more lively than playing in person.

On the evening of the third day of junior high school, Li Weidong received a call from Zhu Liping, saying that he would invite him to dinner. Li Weidong had been waiting for this call for several days.

"That's too polite. I haven't been at home for a long time, and it's hard to come back once. I should treat my parents to dinner!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"That won't work. Speaking of which, your current household registration is not here, and we are the landlords!" Zhu Liping heard the string song and knew the elegance.

She is not a parent officer now, and the parent officer in Li Weidong's words is not her.

"That can't be done, I have always regarded myself as a Qiushan person, I must be the one who invited me!"

"I'm sure it's me. I'll arrange it with Secretary Dong at Qiushan Hotel at noon tomorrow!" Zhu Liping finally decided.

"You are the leader, and I will follow the leader's arrangement!" Li Weidong complimented with a smile. The goal has been achieved, and it doesn't matter who invites you.

After hanging up the phone, Li Weidong went downstairs and saw Li Weimin playing game consoles with several children. It should be him playing, and the children were watching.

"At noon tomorrow, you will accompany me to the county and call your brother-in-law to come with you!"

"Okay!" Li Weimin was taken aback for a moment, and then overjoyed. He was afraid that his brother would forget, and wanted to remind him.

Zhu Liping is a smart person, she understood the meaning of Li Weidong's words, knew that Li Weidong meant to invite the county leaders, and didn't want to bypass her, so she had to arrange this matter.

She was given face, so she naturally had to be able to do things!

So she not only invited Secretary Dong, but also a few of Li Weidong's classmates. She wanted to make this banquet less formal and similar to a gathering of friends.
