Chapter 211 Don't bully the poor young!
After working hard for several days, Li Quanwang and the others sent out all the invitations to their friends and relatives in Baiyun City.
The remaining dozen invitations are from relatives in my hometown in the countryside.
"It's my mother's 70th birthday in three days. Let's send these invitations out together then."
In the villa, Huang Jijiao worked hard inside and outside for a long time, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Li Changjian.
Li Changjian nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Li Quanwang heard this and proudly took out 10,000 yuan from his schoolbag. His eyebrows were raised and he said with high spirits: "Mom, this is for you. Let's buy some gifts for grandma."
According to Maslow's needs theory, from the bottom of the hierarchy upward, the levels of human needs are physiological, safety, social needs, esteem and self-actualization.
The so-called respect is actually just showing off.
It can be seen that showing off is a very high-end and classy thing, and it is also the first driving force for human progress.
At this moment, Li Quanwang, who had been poor for a long time but suddenly became rich, had no shortage of material comforts. Naturally, he wanted to break away from human vulgar tastes and began to have spiritual needs.
He longs for recognition and even respect from his relatives.
The same goes for Li Changjian and Huang Jijiao.
If Li Quanwang suddenly took out 10,000 yuan in the past, Li Changjian and his wife would have thought that Li Quanwang had done something bad.
But now that there is a villa as a basis, the ten thousand yuan is not too shocking.
Huang Ji tenderly refused: "No, just keep the money. Mom has money here. Wangzai, although you have made money with Mingzai, don't develop the habit of spending money lavishly. You will get married in the future.
I have to have children, and the place where I spend my money is still alive.”
But Li Quanwang still insisted: "Mom, if I give it to you, just take it. From now on, I will follow Mingzi to make a lot of money, a lot of money. What's ten thousand yuan? Besides, I go back every year for the New Year.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if it’s my grandpa’s or grandma’s birthday, but those relatives keep telling us that the gifts we bring are shabby, and I can’t stand this anger. This year I will get the biggest red envelope and buy the most gifts!”
"this……"
Huang Jijiao was still hesitating, but Li Changjian snorted and made the final decision: "Just do what Wangzi said! This year we will send out invitations when we go back! We can't let them look down on us anymore. They say that we can't make any money selling vegetables all our lives.
Now my son has made a lot of money! Which of them has the ability to come to Baiyun City and buy such a big house?"
Li Quanwang also said unhappily: "That is, when my grandma was sick and hospitalized two years ago, our family spent all our savings. Who of them paid for it? My grandma's sons didn't contribute, but my dad and his son-in-law paid for everything.
Do they still have the nerve to talk about the medical expenses? This time I want to show them that in the past thirty years in Hedong, don’t bully young people into poverty!”
The most annoying thing is the shortcomings between parents. Li Changjian suffered a lot from his parents' family, and even Li Quanwang couldn't stand it. At this moment, the father and son worked together and wanted to take this opportunity to regain their face.
Huang Jijiao wanted to say something at first, but when she thought of what had happened over the years, she sighed softly, and then took the heavy 10,000 yuan from her son's hand.
"Then let's come back early tomorrow after selling vegetables, pack up, and then go shopping."
At this moment, Li Changjian finally felt relieved and raised his eyebrows. He felt that his future life could be regarded as having hope and would no longer be a hardship.
Li Quanwang thought for a while and then suggested to his parents: "You should stop selling vegetables in the future. You won't make much money even if you get up early every day and work late at night."
After hearing this, Huang Jijiao was quite dissatisfied and snorted: "We don't work and you support us?"
Li Quanwang smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll support you."
Li Changjian reprimanded him with a straight face: "You will get the best of me after you make some money. Hurry up and study. If you don't get into college, I'll spank you!"
After speaking, he raised the broom in his hand, which frightened Li Quanwang.
Two days later, the family of three took the bus back to their hometown.
On the way, Li Quanwang thought that after graduating from high school, he would have to take a driver's license test and then buy a car. The smell of duck shit and sweat in this bus was too strong.
Li Quanwang's grandmother's house is located in Yuanqing City, a city at the junction of Guangdong Province and Hunan Province, which is a poor mountainous area.
The family got off the bus at the entrance of the village and had to walk two to three kilometers on a mountain road to get home.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained recently, so the mountain roads are relatively easy to walk. Otherwise, it would be a disaster if the roads were muddy and rugged.
In the early morning, the three people set out from Baiyun City, and it was not until 11 o'clock at noon that the three people entered the village.
Li Quanwang's grandmother's house is a two-story tiled house at the entrance of the village. At this time, two large stoves have been built with bricks and yellow mud on the cement floor at the entrance. Several neighbors in the village are helping to wash vegetables and light the fire. Li Quanwang's second uncle Huang Dongxiang
Holding the spoon, he was busy working in full swing.
Li Quanwang has four uncles. His eldest uncle Huang Dongcheng works at home as a farmer, his second uncle Huang Dongxiang works in a factory in the county town, his third uncle Huang Dongzhi works as a bricklayer in the village, and his fourth uncle Huang Dongheng is the youngest, about the same age as Huang Dongcheng's eldest son, and is the only college student in the family.
Back then, his whole family supported him so that he could complete his studies. Now he has entered a government agency and is holding an iron rice bowl.
Huang Jijiao is three years younger than Huang Dongxiang and two years older than Huang Dongzhi.
"Brother Jian is back."
"Jiaojiao."
When Li Quanwang and his family of three entered the yard, they were greeted by neighbors who were visiting them.
"Uncle Fourth is here, so early."
"Seventh Aunt."
After saying hello to a few people, the family of three went into the house to pay homage to Bai Sirong, the old birthday boy.
In the house, the old people gathered around an Eight Immortals table, drinking tea and chatting.
Huang Dongheng also came back this time and was chatting and drinking tea with the old people at this moment.
"Mom, happy birthday." Huang Jijiao put several gift boxes next to Bai Sirong, then put a big bulging red envelope into Bai Sirong's hand, smiling broadly: "I wish mom a long life."
Li Quanwang also put down the cake in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said respectfully: "Happy birthday, grandma."
Li Changjian presented a red jewelry box, which was a gold bracelet that the couple carefully selected yesterday and spent thousands of yuan on.
When Bai Sirong saw Li Quanwang's family coming back, she just glanced here, and then went to chat with Huang Dongheng. She directly put the gifts that Li Changjian and others gave Huang Jijiao aside, not even bothering to look at them.
Huang Dongheng glanced at Li Quanwang's family of three with some pride, and then deliberately raised his voice and said: "Mom, let me tell you good news. Our company has allocated a house to me! A house with two bedrooms and one living room of more than 70 square meters! Our leaders have said so
, he is very optimistic about me. As long as I work hard in the future, I will definitely have a bright future."
When he heard that Huang Dongheng had divided the house, Bai Sirong smiled from ear to ear and praised repeatedly: "You are the most promising person in our family. From now on, the glory of our ancestors will all depend on you."
Several old people around him also kept complimenting me.
"Hengzi is now on his way to success."
"It's great. I've become a high official."
"The more you study, the more promising you will be. They are all divided into houses."
Huang Dongheng was also full of arrogance and pride: "Of course, the more you study, the better. Some people are uneducated and have no future. Let alone the house, it is difficult to eat three meals a day."
He has always looked down on his sister Huang Jijiao and brother-in-law Li Changjian, and he has expressed the view more than once that Li Changjian has low academic qualifications and has no future.
Now in front of everyone, he dared to blatantly find fault with Li Changjian, without caring about Huang Jijiao's face.
When Li Quanwang saw Huang Dongheng's triumphant look, he suddenly felt angry and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Fourth uncle, are you feeling guilty for saying this? If the family hadn't ordered my mother not to study, she would have dropped out of junior high school.
