A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 321
"Youngest, Zhiguo has only been back for a few days, so let him go out on his own and stop being bullied..."

In Qinjiazhuang, Mother Li said worriedly as she sat on the Kang beside the big wooden table of the Li family.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Mom, the man who governs the country is almost as tall as you, are you still worried about him? Don't worry, Xiaoliu looks silent and speechless, and he understands in his heart that his brothers are making trouble for him at home. You can't suffer any loss... Eat food, eat food, the chef I found used to cook Tan's cuisine, but I didn't expect that the older I get, the more skilled he is in his craftsmanship."

Looking at the three uncles at the big round table who were obviously a little embarrassed, the eldest sister-in-law smiled and said: "Youngest, please say a few words to the juniors and give them some peace of mind. Look, you scared Zhao Ning and the others..."

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled: "My uncle is a distinguished guest in front of the hall. What should I do to scare them? I have to respect them, pour them wine, coax them, and beg them to treat our girl well when they go back. When we quarrel, Don't do anything..."

The faces of the three aunts of the Li family were almost pale. Later, Li Mei stood up and said with an angry smile: "Uncle Eighth! If you keep doing this, we might as well get a divorce!"

The elder sister-in-law and others quickly scolded and scolded Li Yuan, adding fuel to the fire. He tapped his fingers and said: "Look, look, you are not living up to expectations! I won't let you say anything, and I won't let you say good things. Oh, it's really A married girl is a spoiler. But you have to say it even if you don't want to. Who makes our daughter the most precious in our family?"

Wu Zhaoning couldn't sit still anymore. He picked up the wine glass and stood up and said: "Uncle Eighth, although this is the second time I see you, Xiaomei has talked about you countless times in our house. Once you talk, you cry once." …”

Li Yuan was surprised and said: "This is wrong. I have never bullied Xiaomei. I only punished Kun'er and the others. You must have made me cry. Did you take action?"

After the whole family laughed, the elder sister-in-law said angrily: "Listen carefully, the junior is talking."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Tell me about it...although I usually only look at what people do."

Wu Zhaoning's face turned red. The eighth uncle of the Yue family was really powerful. His mouth was as piercing as a knife...

He said: "Uncle Eighth, let me make a long story short. I promise you that Xiaomei will never suffer any grievance at home. I am lying if I say I won't let her suffer. The child has a headache and a fever. It's very hard for her. Sometimes when I'm on a business trip, it's even harder for her after I encounter something. However, I will never let her give birth to something that I regret."

Seeing Li Mei's tears later, Li Yuan was so angry that he didn't even dare to think about whether he would smash the bastard with his Ba Gua Zhang when Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu came back in the future. Already...

In a bad mood, Li Yuan stretched out his hand to let Wu Zhaoning sit down, and said with a smile: "How can we live a life without bumps and bumps? Our family is not that overbearing. It would be outrageous to ask you to compromise in everything. To live a life, we still have to discuss it. , let’s discuss it. Just like me and your eighth aunt, she is so busy that she can’t even take care of her family, let alone her own son.

I had some objections at first and dealt with them several times.In the end, she cried and said, how about she quit working and go home to cook and take care of the children..."

Before he finished speaking, most of the people at the three tables fell down laughing.

Mother Li stopped looking at her youngest son and scolded her with a smile: "I asked you to talk properly, why are you bragging?"

Li Yuan threw the blame away: "It's all Xiaomei's fault. Zhao Ning said a few words and she was so moved that she burst into tears. I refused to let her cry, I just let her laugh! It's useless and irritating!"

Li Mei came over and hugged Li Yuan's arm and said coquettishly: "Uncle Eighth, you are the best, I know you love me the most!"

"Go, go, go!"

Li Yuan said unappreciatively: "Aren't you afraid that I will clean up your Wu Zhaoning family again? Take it here, take it here, they are not used to sitting here and it is an eyesore to me. Holding the daughter who has been raised well in her hands, she is being coaxed like this. What's the matter with leaving...

There's nothing to say now. Let's wait until the Chinese New Year...forget it, wait until next year when the whole family gets together for the Chinese New Year. "

Li Mei said in surprise: "Really? Uncle Eight, Aunt Xiao'e and Brother Tangyuan will all come back to celebrate the New Year next year?!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, we will all come back next year. Even the three troops will be called back. I will find a way to have a happy reunion!"

Li Gui was a little excited and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Let Kun'er and the others come back too! Our family will have a good reunion year! At my age, I don't know how many more years I can live."

The family said that the old man should not have said that, and the old lady was not happy either: "You can leave if you want, I haven't lived enough yet."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "They say more children mean more blessings, so it's not bad for our family. My parents are both strong and have a good pulse. Don't worry, there are still plenty of opportunities to celebrate the New Year!"

The family members were all excited. Li Yuan, the 24th, said: "I will start preparing two months in advance for next year! I will buy the biggest fireworks and set off the firecrackers for three days and three nights! Good guy, my [-]th brother is coming back..."

This time even his father didn't scold him.

Looking at the long-awaited family, Li Yuan also smiled. In fact, there were not many opportunities for the Li family to celebrate the reunion year.

In [-], Mr. Dong proposed to promote thousands of young cadres. It was basically impossible for the Li family's children with academic qualifications, work experience and sufficient achievements to stay in the oil sector.

By the time they reach the department level, most of them have left front-line production and entered middle-level management.

There is a severe shortage of such educated young cadres across the country. The poorer the place, the greater the gap.

Moreover, the road Li Yuan paved for them was also very straight. Not a day was wasted in ten years. Their solid and dazzling achievements laid the foundation for their upcoming take-off.

Later, when they join teams at all levels, it will be even more difficult for them to have a large-scale reunion from all over the world.

It is almost a no-brainer that they will be assigned to the harsh conditions in the central and western regions.

What can be tempered by fire is true gold.

When it reaches a certain height, Li Yuan can no longer continue to feed resources. Firstly, there are not so many resources to fill in. Secondly, it is also taboo...

One or two is fine, but feeding a dozen is no different from seeking death. It will only lead to being misled by cleverness.

So it's better to keep a low profile.

Therefore, next year's reunion may be the only one...

……

While the Li family was eating, Li Yuan came out and went to the kitchen.

The two men, who were squatting on the firewood pile and eating with their mouths full of oil, were a little embarrassed when they saw Li Yuan coming in.

Li Yuan also sat down next to the firewood pile and said straight to the point: "Uncle He, I know a boss from Hong Kong. He will soon open a restaurant in Wangfujing and needs a head chef and a chef. Your cooking skills are not good. Say. How about you, are you interested in trying a career? The minimum salary is [-] and a month during the internship, [-] and a month after becoming a full-time employee, and there will be a bonus at the end of the year. At that time, the bonus is probably the bulk of the work. "

He Daqing's eyes widened. Five hundred a month was higher than Sha Zhu's salary for a year!

If he could earn all this money, why would he need to be scolded by his shrewish daughter-in-law and lose his face?
He Daqing swallowed his saliva and asked urgently: "What is an internship? It's just that it's not considered a regular job, right? How can I become a regular employee?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You have to bring out a team of chefs, and you have to be strict. If you manage well, then you will be considered a regular employee. You must not have the bad habit of cutting a chicken into two parts and bringing vegetables home privately. . There is a saying called high salary to support integrity. If you use 500 yuan of salary to buy chickens, you can eat one chicken a day from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Do you still need that trick? "

He Daqing's chest was thumped, and he stood up and promised: "Master, just watch it! Let alone tearing the chicken apart, as long as I'm here, they won't be able to get away with the smashed garlic foam!"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "The main thing is to cook well. Recruit people, how many cooks, how many assistant cooks, how many apprentices. You are an expert. You may have to get started at the beginning, and wait until you bring out the talents. , you can just give me some pointers. When you can’t do it anymore, let Brother Zhuzi come. If Brother Zhuzhu can’t do it anymore, He Dan will also grow up. I guarantee that your family will be prosperous. Brother Zhuzhu has been very helpful to me in these years. The level is good. Yuyu also kissed me and called me brother since I was a child, so I don't treat your family as an outsider. Just one thing, don't recruit other people in the courtyard. Don't let it out that I am the boss here. "

He Daqing laughed and said: "My boss, you are a sensible person! It's best for those of you to just be neighbors. If you get involved a little more, you won't be appointed!"

When Mr. He Daqing finished the rice in the bowl, Li Yuan made a gesture to give him money. He Daqing quickly waved his hand and said: "You are so ashamed of me! Boss, if you give Lao He's family a golden rice bowl, what else can I ask for to cook for your family?" Money? I'm going back first, looking for some old guys, and waiting for your letter from my boss."

After the two men left, Li Yuan returned to the north room and drank with a group of nephews.

Today he is going to give it all away, just to use his strength to tell them that if they don’t have the capacity to drink, they should drink less outside!

……

"Hey, Lao He is back?"

In the courtyard, Yanbu Guirong's face turned pale. When he saw He Daqing and He Dan's grandson returning, he greeted them with smiles and greetings as if they were relatives.

At this moment, He Daqing didn't have the same dejection and desolation as before. He put his hands behind his back and only raised his eyelids halfway. He glanced at Yan Bugui and said, "Xiao Yan, what's the matter?"

Yan Bugui was stunned, Xiao Yan? !

Where did this come from?

Seeing that he was silent, He Daqing snorted and raised his legs to leave.

Yan Bugui came to his senses and asked, without caring about anything else, "Brother He, I heard that Yuanzi found a job for you and me?"

Before He Daqing could speak, He Dan said proudly: "Uncle Yuanzi found a restaurant opened by people from Hong Kong in Wangfujing for my grandpa and I. My grandpa earns three to five hundred a month, and if he becomes a full-time employee, he will earn five hundred. I can't be much different." !”

Yan Bugui seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt. These two numbers almost caused his soul to leave his body!
This world!
This world is coming to an end! !
These two stinky cooks can actually make money that even a big bowl can't hold. And look at Yan Bugui, who has a noble and noble air, and can't even make a fraction of other people's wages in a month...

Oh my god~~~~
This is the vibrato of Yan Bugui’s soul!

He Daqing frowned and glanced at his grandson, and said: "Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile? Your mother also said that I didn't leave anything for you. This craftsmanship alone is a golden mountain. She is short-sighted, but with her When you regret it.”

"Who are you talking about? The old man!"

The last four words are very soft, probably only a few people can hear them, and they are in a state where they can deny it at any time.

But He Daqing was still startled. Looking at Zhao Jinyue coming out of the second door, he said dumbfounded: "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

"Pooh!"

Zhao Jinyue scolded: "This is the first time I see an old man who advises his son and his wife to divorce. I will not deviate. I will make you mad to death!"

"Mom! You really won't leave me? That's great!"

He Dan was so happy that he ran over and hugged Zhao Jinyue's arm and started crying.

Zhao Jinyue also softened her aura and said: "I can't worry about you two little bastards. Once I leave, your father's little bastard's money will be ruined by Yi Zhonghai and this old guy. You You and your sister will starve to death. Look at the unjust crime your aunt suffered back then! Then, I came back again. Hum hum, as expected, Yi Zhonghai was very disappointed when he heard about this. With me here, he wanted to That piece of shit your dad wants you to take care of him in his old age, so just dream!"

When He Dan was excited, he couldn't control his mouth and said to Zhao Jinyue: "Mom, Uncle Yuanzi found a job for Grandpa and me. Let us work as cooks for the restaurant opened by the big boss of Hong Kong in Wangfujing. Grandpa is the chef. Boss, three hundred and fifty a month, five hundred after becoming a full-time employee! Let grandpa recruit cooks and assistant cooks. If grandpa dies, my dad will come. If my dad dies, I will do it! Grandpa said, this is what Uncle Yuanzi gave us. The He family’s golden rice bowl!”

Zhao Jinyue "clicked" and froze there. After a while, he slowly asked: "Really?" He Dan nodded repeatedly: "Really! Mom, when did Uncle Yuanzi lie? Second Grandpa and the others I have always said that although Uncle Yuanzi is bad, he always means what he says."

"Oh, Jin Yue, look at you, what kind of official is Yuanzi's wife now? Does he still have the heart to tease you?"

Yan Bugui's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and he looked at He Daqing and said, "Brother He, are you still responsible for recruiting people? Ouch, do you want to kiss people from your hometown? Look at our two sons..."

He Daqing had nothing to do with this stupid grandson. He loved to show off, and he didn't know what to say when he got excited.

He hummed and said: "Nothing. Even if we recruit people, we will only hire people who are good at cooking. Otherwise, if they don't do well, I will be blamed."

"right!!!"

Zhao Jinyue's eyes widened in excitement. Although the He family was not yet developed, she no longer looked up to the third uncle. She stepped forward to support He Daqing and called out in a gentle and obedient tone: "Dad, this matter still needs to be done." You are smart! As long as your position is secure, our family has hope. No one can hold you back! Ignore those smelly toads and go home. I will cut some meat and make dumplings for you later!"

He Daqing felt uneasy in his heart. On the way back, he thought that after he made a lot of money, he would first find a wife, someone 20 years younger would be fine. It was really hard to find a wife, so he could make do with someone 30 years younger.

Then I will marry a good son, who can at least speak human language.

If you marry a grandson in two years, the Old He family will be prosperous.

But who would have thought that that worthless son of a bitch would not even be able to get divorced.

Now that I know this piece of dog-skin plaster, even thinking about divorce is just a dream.

What is this life called?

After the He family returned to the courtyard "happily", Yan Bugui, who looked like a toad in a worn-out woolen hat and glasses, stood lonely and lonely in the middle of the courtyard, refusing to enter the house despite the urging of his family.

A piece of dry wood fell to the ground for some reason. Yan Bugui looked up at the earthquake shed above. Oh, the piece of wood that stuck out was rough...

He bent down to pick it up, and suddenly he had a thought in his mind. At this moment, he was like a lonely old bird, picking up all the cold branches and refusing to rest...

Seeing the smile on the face of the second son Yan Jiefang, my heart became colder: Why did I have so many children in the first place?
In my mind, the erhu sound of "Two Springs Reflect the Moon" sounded sadly.

Yuanzi, you have failed your third uncle after all...

……

"Goodbye Uncle Qiao, goodbye Aunt Liu, and goodbye sister Xiaoyue."

In the capital compound, Li Zhiguo said goodbye to the three members of the Qiao family in front of the unit building.

After Qiao Yue made an appointment to call Li Zhiguo tomorrow morning, the car started to move, and after turning the corner, Li Zhiguo turned around and went home.

Liu Yuan said to Qiao Xing: "How do you think this child was raised? Why is he so mature and sensible?"

Qiao Xing sighed and said: "People are different. The first time I had such a feeling was when I met the Bai family's children. At that time, during the National Day, everyone went to the auditorium to eat. Although dad treats us brothers The three requirements are strict, but I still have new clothes and wear them during the New Year. The children of the Bai family...are all wearing old and patched clothes. But I found that the little guy of the Bai family is different from others , I guess he was about the same age as the boy Zhi Guo at that time. No matter what other people looked at him, he always looked calm and didn't feel there was anything embarrassing about it. You can't pretend to be that kind of calm. He was also steady when eating. Of course, it was neither fast nor slow. Let alone children of his age, even we were making a lot of noise at that time. At that time, I felt in my heart...there is really no comparison between this person and other people."

Liu Yuan asked curiously: "Which child is like this, or are all the children in the Bai family like this?"

Qiao Xing smiled and said: "That one, his brother is just like other children. If they are raised like this, what's the point?"

Liu Yuan said: "Didn't you say that he has an older brother who is even better at running the country?"

Qiao Xing said meaningfully: "The two brothers are on different paths. However, it's hard to say who will achieve higher and lower achievements in the future. Regardless of whether the Li family is still a rural family now, in the future, it will be great!"

……

"The son is back?"

Li Yuan was sitting in the living room reading a book wearing an apron. After Li Zhiguo entered the house, he asked with a smile: "How are you today?"

Li Zhiguo smiled and talked about today's events in general, skipping Liu Weihong's part, which was not worth mentioning, and finally said: "Grandpa Qiao said that you should go see him at your leisure and have a chat."

Without even thinking about it, Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's better to let your mother come forward for this kind of thing, or you can do it for me when you grow up."

Li Zhiguo asked strangely: "Dad, didn't you say that Sister Qiao Yue's grandfather was a respected elder? Don't you want to contact the Qiao family?"

Li Yuan shook his head, patted the sofa next to him, and said, "Sit down and talk."

After Li Zhiguo sat down, Li Yuan said: "Dad's principle is: as a human being, happiness is the most important thing. People only have a short life, so don't live so heavy.

How can I be happy?Doing what you like, getting along with people you can easily get along with, and eating what you like is called happiness.

Of course I respect Mr. Qiao, and I respect every one of those old comrades.However, respect does not mean that you like to meet.The old man is highly respected and has great rules.It's easier to get in when you're young.If dad goes in for a visit, he has to go through a lot of inspections, fill out forms, take photos, sign all kinds of things... it's very troublesome.

Of course I understand, for safety reasons, but I still don’t want to be too troublesome.

But you are different from dad. Dad has no big ambitions. Apart from doing some medical things, he just wants to live a leisurely life, take good care of the lives of mothers and you children, and prevent you from being wronged. Other fame and wealth don't matter. .

You are more like your mother, you have your own ideas at a very young age.

This is also good. Doing what you want to do is also very happy and a happy choice, right? "

Li Zhiguo smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Dad, I understand."

Chatting with my father is always so relaxing.

It was a time when father and son were filial, and the door lock rang. Li Yuan said "hey" and said happily: "Mom is back!"

The two men stood up, and sure enough they saw Qin Daxue walking in the door covered in dust. Seeing the father and son, they laughed happily.

Li Zhiguo said happily: "Mom is back!"

Go pick up Qin Daxue's coat and put out slippers.

Li Yuan also said happily: "My wife is back, I'll give it to you!"

Qin Daxue felt that she was hopeless. She was led astray by this bastard in an instant. He told her this joke...

After her beautiful eyes rolled her eyes at him, she smiled again and cursed: "De Xing! Go quickly!"

……

Hong Kong Island, Tsing Yi Bridge.

He Pingshi drove the car and glanced at Li Xing in the passenger seat, who was reading a thick tome with a frown, and sighed with some distress.

The day after accepting He Shanheng, Li Xing began to study finance.

They originally studied business administration at the University of Hong Kong, and they already had a lot of homework. Adding finance as a subject added to it, the pressure was not as great as usual.

The car drove all the way to the Li Family Manor on Qingyi Island. Li Xing was still immersed in a book. He Pingshi couldn't bear to disturb him, so she sat quietly with him in the car.

The moonlight in the sky is charming, and you can see the moonscape on the sea in the distance. With your loved one, even if it's a little cold in the car, what does it matter?

It's a pity that the beautiful atmosphere was ruined by a nasty person...

"Sister-in-law, I really didn't come to disturb you on purpose. Mom is worried about you. If I have to call you, I dare not not come!"

Looking at his sister-in-law who was glaring at him angrily, Li Si explained with a wry smile.

He always felt that after this sister-in-law came in, his status in the family was instantly lowered.

But seeing He Pingshi taking care of her eldest brother so lovingly... Forget it, I can bear it...

Li Xing then raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shi, it turns out you're already home. You should have called me. It's so cold in the car, don't catch a cold... You go in first, and I'll get it for you." Make a cup of lemon honey black tea to get rid of the cold."

When He Pingshi heard this, she smiled like a flower and said sweetly: "Then I'll go see Mommy and the others first!"

Li Xing nodded and smiled: "Go ahead."

After He Pingshi left, Li Si saw his eldest brother carrying a stack of thick books from the car. He couldn't hide his exhaustion and said, "Brother, it's almost done. Why are you so tired?"

Li Xing smiled and said: "Don't be verbose, everyone has his own way of living. You just think I'm tired, but I feel that every time I learn a little more knowledge, I become stronger. Come on, go inside and massage my cervical spine. I feel a little bit tired." I’m stiff...I’ll stand still and read a book later.”

Li Si laughed angrily, took a few books from his eldest brother, and the two brothers entered the room together:

"Mom, we're back!"

Under the moonlight night, the entire world is shrouded in soft moonlight, and even the undulating outlines of distant mountains become softer.

The sea surface not far away seemed to be covered with a layer of shimmering silver gauze by the moonlight, and the crystals were like stars.

This month, this sea, this night, outlines a dreamlike night scene on earth...
