A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 259 The children of the Li family...

The canteen of the battle headquarters is very simple, with portraits of elderly people hanging and many slogans posted.

Before eating, people will take out their precious books and read a quotation.

"Uncle Wang, these ten or so little ones in our family have caused you a lot of trouble, haven't they? I heard that grandma and aunt often ask them to go home for dinner, and grandma is angry when they give them food stamps at home. They are all big eaters, and they are If you eat too much, won’t this make you exhausted?”

Li Yuan ate the home-cooked food in the workers' cafeteria, which consisted of steamed buns with noodles, fried cabbage and a plate of shredded potato slices. It was very delicious. Seeing Wang Jinxi looking at him and smiling, he also said with a smile.

Wang Jinxi smiled and said: "In recent years, the efficiency of the oil fields has become better and better. The Prime Minister specifically told me to improve the living standards of oil field workers. Doing such heavy work and poor food will tire out a skilled oil worker." It is a loss for the country. It is necessary to live in hardship and simplicity, but we must also learn to settle big accounts. After hearing this, I discussed with the old general and decided to eat these now. Every meal has oily stars and some meat flavor. My son. My personal salary has also improved a lot, and it is enough to support my family. It is enough for them to eat. Besides, I don’t go every day, only once a month.”

Li Yuan looked at Li Chang and said: "Xiao Liu, public is public and private is private. I have a good relationship with Uncle Wang's family because I never ask Uncle Wang to do business or go through the back door. Grandma asked you to come over for dinner because she loves you, but You must know it yourself. When you encounter difficulties, you must work hard to solve them yourself. Don't go to Uncle Wang. He is now responsible for the production of the entire Daqing oil field. The country's economy is so difficult. To a certain extent, Daqing is responsible for the economic power of the entire country. If you feel it's too painful, just report back, if it doesn't work, just go home and farm, and don't bother Uncle Wang."

Li Chang stood up and said: "Uncle Eighth, I have never asked Commander Wang to use the back door. You have warned him many times in your letter. We dare not do that and we will not do that."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Sit down and eat."

Wang Jinxi looked at the pair of uncle and nephew with satisfaction, and said to Li Yuan: "Your children are all good children. They are really good. They are smart, easy to learn, and they are no worse than others in enduring hardship."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "What hardships can they endure? When they came to Daqing, the conditions in Daqing were much better. During the most difficult three years when they were young, the whole family lived frugally and first provided them with food, clothing and education. They were sent away I came to Daqing just to let them learn the Iron Man spirit. Uncle Wang, I heard that there are people making trouble here, are our children not involved in it?"

Wang Jinxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, everything is fine. At first, the old people in the oil field were worried that these young cadres who came from the Fourth Nine City to study would jump around. It was true that some people jumped around and wanted to knock me down or pull me back. Go fight. It was your fourth son Li Cheng, the sixth son Li Chang, and the seventh son Li Yu who helped me.

Good guy, Li Cheng is the thesis writer. He memorizes and talks about quotations to a group of them by himself. No one can compare with him.

In terms of martial arts, your boss led a group of young men who really dared to take action. They were so united that seven or eight brothers worked against dozens of educated youths without suffering any loss. They suppressed the gang and saved me. out.

When the prime minister and the old general learned about this, they both praised them and said that they were truly good young people!
The oil fields in the future will be managed by the army, which will make things more secure...

So it’s not them asking me to help them go through the back door, it’s me asking them to help them go through the back door! "

After hearing the silence for a while, Li Yuan asked, "Uncle Wang, they don't usually make noises, right? Young people tend to get carried away easily. After tasting the sweetness of showing off their power, will they feel uneasy about their jobs?"

Wang Jinxi smiled and said: "You should believe them. These babies are very good... no, there are also some bad things and they have caused some trouble."

Li Yuan chuckled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Uncle Wang, please tell me."

Li Chang chuckled at the side and said, "Uncle Eighth, there is no me anyway."

Wang Jinxi laughed loudly and said, "Do you think you can run away?" He said to Li Yuan: "Your children are really outstanding. They are knowledgeable and capable. They can withstand hardships at critical times and endure hardships... That's right. , your children are all very handsome! They have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they are not short either. They come from Sijiu City. They are polite when speaking and treating others. Tell me, can they not miss you? They are all touched in Daqing. Before they even arrived, people from Harbin City came to see them and ask for a blind date! Especially your Li Cheng, hey, he even filed a lawsuit against me!"

As he spoke, Wang Jinxi lowered his voice and said, "Old Liu from the Black Provincial Committee, do you know that Liu?"

Li Yuan nodded, his face became solemn and he said: "I know, I paid attention to the children at home after they came here."

Wang Jin said happily: "It's very popular. Their family spread word that Li Cheng has been chosen. After their family spread the news, many other people left. Do you agree or not?"

Li Yuan said solemnly: "Of course I don't agree. If you want to climb a high tree, it's your turn to be little bastards like them? As for workers, just do your work down-to-earth, and find a partner either with workers or farmers. My current wife is a farmer cadre!"

Wang Jinxi said happily: "Okay, okay! Yuanzi, you haven't changed, not at all!" But then again: "But don't worry too much, whether it's a worker or a farmer, the soldier is not bad either. No? It happened that the old general had a granddaughter who was studying medicine. She met Li Cheng and the two children got along very well. Yuanzi, I can vouch for you about the family tradition of the old general’s family. There is absolutely no problem. I I also asked Li Cheng, and he meant this, but he also said that he can't make the decision on this matter, and he has to listen to you, the eighth uncle. Yuanzi, you are not very old, why should everyone else do it? Where is Pai? You are not the eldest among your brothers."

Li Chang was having fun on the sidelines, looking at his eighth uncle...

Li Yuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Aren't you worried that they will take a detour? But in my personal opinion, it is best to find a worker's family or a farmer's family. It's not that I can't trust the old general's family tradition, but that he is a man and a big man. If he wants to achieve success, he must work hard on his own. . What a wonderful era the old man has created. As long as you have the ability, you will definitely be able to get ahead. Why do you have to climb high?"

Li Chang lowered his head and did not dare to speak, feeling sad and worried.

Not only Li Cheng, he also had a good chat with a girl from a cadre family. Although the layer of paper has not been opened yet, the meaning of both sides is clear.

But if his eighth uncle doesn't agree, then it's useless no matter how much he likes it.

Humans are not beasts. They all see and remember how much Uncle Eighth has sacrificed for his family. They all understand how much effort he has put into them.

Without Uncle Eight, they would not be what they are today.

Moreover, if the Eighth Uncle does not agree, it means that all the elders in the family do not agree, so the marriage cannot be concluded unless he is ruthless and cuts off the entire family.

The children of the Li family have never thought of such a thing.

He was worried that Commander Wang couldn't explain Uncle Eighth...

Wang Jinxi was not happy after hearing this and said: "Yuanzi, what you said is wrong. How can you become a high-ranking partner when you have a good relationship with me? Let alone the grandson-in-law, he doesn't care about the old general's daughter or son." However, I can testify that the family tradition is quite upright. Why, you don’t believe what I say?”

"no……"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, and said after a while: "It's not that I'm pedantic, but it's just a big family after all. Even if you don't take advantage of it, you will inevitably be taken care of. But is there any benefit in the world that doesn't pay the price?

My idea is that the Li family comes from a poor peasant family and is not equal to others.After marriage, children will inevitably suffer.

The Li family has never thought about taking advantage of anyone else, and I have never thought about it. I worked so hard to surrender my child just because I wanted my child to work and live an upright life, and be less angry and aggrieved.

So climbing high branches is not necessary for our children!
Uncle Wang, this is what I mean. "

After hearing this, Li Chang was greatly shaken, his nose became sore, and tears flowed down.

It turned out that he had misunderstood Uncle Eighth, who was just afraid that his children would be wronged.

Wang Jinxi smiled happily and said: "I know you mean it. Who doesn't hope to get a good marriage and get the glory? You have the backbone, and you also want your nephews to be strong, which is a good thing. But you also think about it. , what if two children fall in love with each other and want to form revolutionary partners?
Oh, just because you are worried that your children will be upset, so you have to break them up?Too doting on the child!

The children in your family are not young anymore. They have worked for several years and have become cadres.

Why don't you let go and take care of everything?

You said you are so young, how come you are more spoiled than us old guys?
No wonder your children are so united. It turns out that your elders have set a good example. But Genko, you can't control it for the rest of your life, can you? "

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, I don't care, but since Uncle Wang is a lobbyist, you have to worry about it. People like the Liu family have jumped too high in these years, and they have no respect for the old comrades in the past." Our family is really beyond the reach of a family whose old comrades are ruthless. As for the others, they are indeed in their 20s and have been working for a few years. Let them judge for themselves...I am talking about men. Children, not girls. Our girls are too naive and can easily be deceived by people’s sweet talk.”

Wang Jinxi laughed loudly, pointed at Li Yuan and scolded: "I think you have feudal ideas!"

After finishing the family affairs, Li Yuan talked about official business and said: "Uncle Wang, the main reason for coming to Daqing this time is to purchase a batch of Fangfeng, Scutellaria baicalensis, Bupleurum, Licorice, Anemarrhena, Gorgon and Platycodon. We also need to go to Ji Province to collect some. Ginseng... I hope the War Department can help me rent a yard and send a car. This is a letter of introduction issued by the Metallurgical Department and the Health Unit. Please take a look."

Wang Jinxi smiled and said: "Don't read it, I still don't believe what you said? Our battle department will definitely support this matter. The "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" you wrote, the antifreeze and first aid chapters in it are very useful! This kind of thing is very useful! , we will definitely support you! Eat, eat, and go home first after eating. The New Year is not over yet, so go home to celebrate the New Year! Your grandma always loves to talk about you, and she must be very happy when she knows you are coming!"

Li Yuanle said: "My grandma's surname is Li, and we are from the same family, so we are naturally close to each other!"

Wang Jinxi was so happy that after finishing the meal in a few mouths, he took Li Yuan home.

Li Chang was sent back to work by Li Yuan. Absence from work these days is a must...

……

Five days later.

Li Yuan was rummaging through the collected medicinal materials in the rented yard when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the yard. He stood up with a smile, looked up, and the smile on his face instantly deepened.

"Uncle Eight!!"

A clear cry sounded, and Li He ran over first and hugged Li Yuan tightly.

Later, Li Lian, Li Mei, and Li Tao also ran in with laughter and surrounded Li Yuan.

There are nine young people behind, who are descendants of the Li family such as Li Cheng, Li Chang, Li Yu, and Li Zhi.

Everyone is full of energy, but also calm and capable.

"Uncle Eighth, happy New Year!"

Li Yuan nodded, then patted Li Mei on the back and said with a smile: "You are such a big girl, and you are still crying."

Li Mei then let go, her nose was blocked and she said, "Who is crying? I am Xue Shazi who has lost his sight."

Li Yuan said warmly: "Are you homesick? If you persist for two more years, I will transfer the four of you back."

Li Mei was surprised and said: "Really?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "You have reached your age, and you have to think about starting a family. It doesn't matter if the boys stay far away from home. They deserve to be angry and wronged. They will recognize the person they find..."

Several people looked at Li Cheng and laughed.

Li Cheng was speechless and smiled.I heard Li Yuan continue: "Girls are not good. They are easily bullied when they marry far away. No matter how powerful you are, you are the only outsider in a big family. If you are bullied, there is nothing you can do but cry. Go back to Sijiu City, close to home. Some, not aggrieved.”

Several girls blushed, but then everyone looked at Li Lian. The girl seemed a little at a loss...

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Cheng. Li Cheng answered straightforwardly: "Uncle Eighth is my eldest brother's colleague. His name is Chen Fang. He has good character. His family is from Harbin. It is said that they are a working class family and the conditions are not bad. Then The rebels wanted to fight against Commander Wang. We knew that Uncle Eighth respected Commander Wang very much, so the eldest brother took us to fight. The person who rushed to the front, besides our brothers, was Chen Fang. This time we fought My eldest brother went on a business trip to Yumen together, and we probably won’t be back until next month.”

Li Yuan pointed at him and said: "I don't know this person, and I don't understand what you said. But since you said that he has good character, you must be responsible. Your sister has been wronged, and you are the only one I ask. Still With Li Kun, you two can’t run away.”

The children of the Li family should be among the best in Li City in the future.

A bunch of Li family children were laughing around. Li Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only nod in agreement...

When Li Lian heard this, her eighth uncle didn't object strongly. Tears immediately flowed down her face. She pursed her lips and called "eighth uncle", then walked up to Li Yuan and hugged Li Yuan.

Li Yuan smiled and patted her back and said: "It's not that I have to interfere with your business, but I don't want you to be bullied and wronged. But if you insist on your choice, I won't object. Just remember one thing , at any time, you still have such a big family behind you. You can go home at any time. Your family is your source of strength. If the sky falls, your eighth uncle will be there to carry you."

These days, as long as the person you're talking to shows his face, it's basically the same as getting a certificate, otherwise it's a matter of lifestyle.

The wedding was just a few days away, and her mother's family couldn't come, so Li Yuan told the elders in advance what they should say.

It can be regarded as a characteristic of marriage in this era...

That night, Li Yuan chatted with his thirteen nephews and nieces for most of the night, and they had to return to their respective posts the next day.

Before leaving in the morning, Li Yuan gave each person an envelope containing 100 yuan, as well as some food stamps and industrial coupons.

Li Lian has more, it contains 300 yuan, and there are also more national food stamps and industrial coupons.

Without giving them a chance to refuse, Li Yuan said: "Work hard and don't take advantage of anything you shouldn't. However, don't be stingy when making friends. If you are short of money, just write home. As long as it's not The family will support lavish squandering and normal expenses. Especially for boys, Commander Wang said that after you arrived here, you quickly united a group of people to become good friends, which is a good thing. It’s just about making friends. When it’s time to be generous, Be more generous. When Song Yasi travels around the world, why do heroes in the world bow to him when they see him? Because he is timely. How is goodwill established? This is how it is established.

Of course, I'm not encouraging you to be generous and generous when time comes, but I'm just trying to figure out some of the principles in it and learn from them. "

In this era, people's hearts are still simple, and it is also the best time to make connections.

After the change, the interests among people will take up a larger proportion in the future. Without common interests, it is difficult for friendship to last long.

In this popular era, generally speaking, people's emotions are relatively pure.

Of course, except Li Yuan himself...

After watching a group of reluctant children leave, Li Yuan filled half his head with the selected high-quality herbal medicine, and packed the rest. The wagons arranged by the headquarters were sent directly to the Steel Rolling Mill Workers' Hospital and the Medical Department. The person will sign for it and send it to the pharmacy.

After the celebration, Li Yuan bid farewell to Wang Jinxi, went to Harbin without stopping too much, had a meal with Gao Weihong and Lu Duoduo, and then set off directly to Ji Province.

With Wang Jinxi's letter of introduction, Li Yuan's travels in Jilin Province were quite convenient. After Wang Jinxi was elected as a member of the 200-person committee last year, he accepted meetings and compliments from the elderly and the prime minister. His reputation in the three northeastern provinces is very loud.

After staying in Ji Province for a week, Li Yuan, who had gained a lot, finally boarded the train going south. After passing the capital, he quietly got off the train and returned to the village. After having sex with his wife who was very surprised, he never stopped again and walked along Beijing-Guangzhou. The line goes all the way south.

On February 25, I boarded the Snakehead ferry and crossed the sea back to Hong Kong Island...

……

"father!"

At the Kadoorie Family Pier, before Li Yuan got off the boat, he saw a tall figure beside him, his eldest son Li Xing waving and cheering.

At this time, the ferry was still 30 meters away from the pier. Li Yuan tapped his toes and jumped off the ferry amidst exclamations. However, what was surprising was that he did not sink directly into the sea, and only half of his legs were in the water. , and then rushed forward, only taking a few breaths to get to the dock.

Li Yuan lifted Li Xing high and laughed loudly: "Son, do you miss your father?"

Li Xingle's face blossomed and he said loudly: "I thought about it! Dad, it's great that you are back! Knowing that you are coming back today, I asked Uncle Harel to bring me here! My brother originally wanted to come, but my mother said that he acted No, I bullied many children in the kindergarten. He wants to be the double-flowered red stick in the kindergarten, so I punish him by not letting him come at home. My mother and eldest mother have to stay at home to look after the three little brothers. The brothers are now crawling all over the floor every day. , just let me do it myself.”

On the side, Harel hadn't recovered yet. He stared blankly at Li Yuan's trouser legs that were only half wet, then looked back at the waves in the sea, and finally looked at Li Yuan with an animal look...

Li Yuan glanced at him and smiled.

But it is understandable. After returning home this time, I have better understood the balance between hardness and softness, and my progress has been a little faster.

It should be in an outbreak period, but Li Yuan also had a hunch that after this wave, it would probably reach a stagnation period.

After the age of 30, physical fitness actually begins to decline, which is why Harrell is so jealous...

"Li, haha, welcome back, I miss you so much!"

Michael Kadoorie's round face full of joy appeared, and he stepped forward and gave Li Yuan a big hug.

Li Yuanle said: "Mi Gao, you are not busy at home giving birth to a baby, what are you doing here?"

Mi Gao's eyes widened and he said: "Li, I really don't understand how you can marry three wives. God, I only have one wife, but every night when night falls, I see Betty, My legs started to tremble... I happened to know that you were coming back, so I and Harrell came to pick you up."

Li Yuan burst out laughing, Harrell twitched his lips expressionlessly, and Li Xing pretended not to understand...

Hong Kong Island has a developed salty culture, and the information that children have access to is much more developed and complex than on the mainland.

In fact, there is no need to treat it like a scourge, just give it correct guidance and treat it correctly.

Li Yuan actually talked to him. Even if he had a very good relationship with his two female classmates, He Pingshi and Cao Yongshan, he still had to maintain respect among friends...

After getting in the car, Mi Gao kept talking: "Li, you really should thank me. After you left, I mobilized three engineering teams to work on Qingyi Island for you day and night. Wow, now you If you go to the island and take a look, you will feel very grateful to me. Your house is so beautiful. Of course, you also spent a lot of money, it was [-]% more than the budget..."

Li Yuan said suspiciously: "Mi Gao, you won't hack my money, right?"

"Ow~~~"

Mi Gao trembled, covering his chest with his hand, and said: "Li, you hurt me..."

Li Xing couldn't hold it back and chuckled.

Li Yuan said seriously: "Because I exposed your true identity? The budget is already very high, plus [-]%, it's a lot of money. Mi Gao, the person who hacked my money has not even given birth to a son." …”

"OKOKOK..."

Mi Gao, who was familiar with Eastern culture, couldn't listen to the words until the end. He was completely convinced by this old man and said: "Li, your basement standard uses the same system as the underground vault of the Swiss Bank. Even though Qingyi Island was affected by the typhoon weather, If there is a flood, it will be safe there. It is also fire-proof, smoke-proof, and poison-proof. If there is no key, it will be difficult to open the door of the secret room even with a cannon. For such a difficult project, I also accelerated the construction period and charged more A little service fee is what you should pay, right?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That's right. Your work is comparable to my work. I should learn from you. Mi Gao, come to me for medical treatment next time..."

"OKOKOK..."

Mi Gao screamed: "Li, shut up, stop talking! Just pretend I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything!"

He also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pretended to say to Li Xing, who was overjoyed: "Your father can make more money, not even the Jews, not even the Jews!"

After Li Xing smiled, he asked Li Yuan: "Dad, has Mama Xue given birth to a baby? Is it a younger brother or a younger sister?"

What he hopes most is to have a younger sister in the family. That would be such a joy.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I disappoint you, I am still my younger brother, my name is Li Zhiguo."

Li Xing was disappointed, but he soon laughed again and said: "It doesn't sound as good as Fugui, Dad, brother Fugui is so lazy. He was born an hour earlier than Jixiang and Ruyi, but he climbs up one hour slower than Jixiang and Ruyi." Much bigger. He is also lazy when he turns over, but he loves to laugh. Brother Fugui likes to crawl with Xiaosi. He crawls wherever Xiaosi goes. He also follows Xiaosi when he goes to the bathroom. Xiaosi is going crazy, but every time he When I wanted to shout to my brother, Fugui would giggle with him, but Xiaosi couldn’t scream..."

Li Yuan's heart was full of ironing after hearing this, and he also hoped to get home soon.

Li Xing asked again: "Dad, when will brother Zhiguo come home?"

Michael and Harrell in the front row looked at each other and both smiled.

The word "go home" made them think more of Li Xing...

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Next year, the second half of next year."

Because after September, Qin Daxue will really take her steps and become very busy...
