Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 2228

After hearing this, Ah Chao secretly felt worried for him.

"Then you don't have any money around? Not at all?"

Master Li smiled awkwardly and whispered: "A thousand or so. These are the red envelopes my wife gave us during the Chinese New Year. I haven't spent them all yet. Usually food and accommodation are provided in Xinyuan, so I don't have to spend any money. I didn’t ask my son to come back.”

Ah Chao reminded again: "No matter what, you still have to save some money for backup."

"There's nothing we can do." Master Li said, "Some of my old brothers also advised me the same way, saying that no matter how filial their children are, there will be times when they can't take care of themselves. What's more, my son can't even take care of himself, so he still needs to be prepared. Just in case. But I can’t get my salary card back, and my son said that I just have enough time to pay off the mortgage, and there’s not much left every month.”

Ah Chao thought for a while and whispered: "In the past, there may not have been a chance, but this time you can go abroad with me, and the opportunity will come."

"What?" Master Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "What opportunity?"

Ah Chao explained: "The wages of all the staff in Xinyuan are arranged by my wife. After going abroad, remittances are not as easy as before. You can tell your wife that she will give you cash directly when you return. You don't need to pay for this period of time." hair."

"...Can it be done?" Master Li asked doubtfully.

Ah Chao nodded: "Madam, it's always best to discuss it. Anyway, whether it's remittance or cash, it's the same money. For madam, there is no difference at all. But for you old man, you may have tens of thousands of dollars at your disposal. It’s equivalent to life-saving money.”

"That's right." Master Li smiled and said, "Then I'll talk to my wife later."

Ah Chao gave him a "teachable" look and whispered: "Your son earns a salary, and your daughter-in-law also earns a salary. Originally, your grandson and them had to help pay for the house of your grandson, so how can you always let a young man earn a living?" The old man bears everything. You, you are not young anymore, you should feel sorry for yourself."

Master Li burst into tears, gave up and sighed.

"Who doesn't want to feel sorry for themselves...but I can't help it. My wife is gone a long time ago, and my son has no ability, so I can only take care of him as much as possible. When I can no longer carry it or do anything in the future, then it will really happen. They have to rely on themselves.”

Ah Chao didn't think so and asked instead: "Is it possible that you really want to live and work until you are old?"

"Most old people in the countryside do this." Master Li explained: "Many people around my age farmed or learned skills when they were young. But most companies or small units cannot buy insurance or social security, so they just Only when you can work until you can no longer do it, do you quit. If your children are filial, you can still live a better life. If your children are not filial, you can only sigh and wait for death."

Ah Chao secretly felt distressed and whispered: "Fortunately, you still have some pension."

"No." Master Li explained: "My son still took that card. He only told me that it would increase by a small amount every year, but he didn't even tell me the specific amount of money accumulated."

Ah Chao asked in disbelief: "Can't you just carry it by yourself? You have to hold your salary card and social security card by yourself!"

"I... don't know how to go to the bank to do it." Master Li explained awkwardly: "The bank is a big place, so I can ask more times, but they are impatient. Moreover, today's mobile phones are so complicated that I can easily make a mistake even when I make a call. Now Basically, people call me and I just listen. When I go out, I have to use my mobile phone to scan around. We old people don’t even know how to scan, let alone use it.”

Ah Chao smiled bitterly: "I can only study hard, there is no other way." "Alas..." Master Li sighed: "We are all a generation that has been eliminated by society. We have to use various cards and codes. Well, you won’t be able to use it even if you hold it.”

Ah Chao thought for a while and reminded: "No matter what, you must have private money. After all, the money an old man has around him is equivalent to life-saving money, so he cannot live without it."

"Okay, okay." Master Li nodded: "If that brat asks, I'll tell you that I spent time abroad."

Ah Chao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes! That's what you said! You have gone abroad several times in your life, so you have to cherish this opportunity, right? You should reward yourself."

"Of course." A chrysanthemum smile appeared on Master Li's wrinkled face: "This is the second time. Maybe... there will probably not be a third time."

Ah Chao shook his head and praised: "You are getting stronger and stronger, and your body is so strong. You will have a great chance to go abroad in the future."

"Haha!" Master Li just smiled and said nothing.

Ah Chao put down the large backpack next to him and carefully adjusted some of the instruments on his body.

Master Li was quiet for a moment and asked curiously: "Do you bring so many clothes? I heard that it is hot all year round there, so just bring a few short-sleeved shorts. I will bring three sets. My wife said that everything is available there. , just let me pack my clothes, there’s no need to bring anything else.”

Achao was busy and replied: "It's not clothes. The housekeeper over there is very capable and arranges everything in an orderly manner. There is indeed no shortage of anything. You will know when we arrive. Inside is my wife giving An'an Senior sister prepared some baby clothes and bedding. She is going to be a mother soon, so she will give some to the baby."

Master Li nodded in understanding.

Ah Chao smiled and said, "The dim sum you made is outstanding. The old ladies and gentlemen have been saying that they don't think about anything else but the dim sum you made."

"Haha!" Master Li sighed with emotion: "It's because they think highly of me. Thanks to my wife and family who don't dislike me, I was able to stay in Xinyuan for so many years. Man, when your income is unstable, you feel unsure and it's very uncomfortable. Since I started working at Xinyuan, I finally don’t have to worry about being fired from time to time, and I have lived peacefully for so many years. I am very grateful to their family."

Ah Chao chuckled: "Me too. By the way, Master Li, your snacks are so delicious, you should have many apprentices, right?"

"No more." Master Li sighed and shook his head: "I hired two or three of them when I was working in a restaurant, but they were impatient and couldn't bear the hardship, so they changed careers one after another. One later opened a bakery, and the other two didn't do much. connect."

A Chao asked: "Your son and daughter-in-law didn't learn from you?"

"My daughter-in-law only learns to cook." Master Li explained: "My son is stupid and doesn't like to learn. My grandchildren have all gone to school. My son thinks that he has no future in the kitchen, so he doesn't let his grandchildren learn."

Ah Chao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "With 360 jobs, he will be the top scholar. What's wrong with being a dim sum chef? A senior dim sum chef can earn tens of thousands a month! After graduating from college, he earns three to four thousand a month. You can earn a lot more, and some can earn more than 1 yuan in a lifetime. I don’t know how good it is to have a skill! They don’t know how to cherish your son at all!”

Master Li asked with a joking smile: "So good? How about I teach you! Free of charge!"
