In the living room, Shen Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't mention it. It really feels like I'm not as good as being in the field army. There are too many messy things. I might as well be fighting around with the brothers."
"You can't always hang out on the training ground. You're almost 50 years old. You can still keep climbing for a few more years. Uncle Shen is about to retire. You should change your mind and don't let Uncle Shen do it anymore." You worry."
"I know, that's why I agreed to be transferred here. Maybe it's because I haven't gotten used to it when I first came here. It should be fine after a while."
Shen Jun picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of water. Then he thought about what his father told him before going out. He swallowed the water and said: "By the way, Li Chu, before I came here, my dad asked me to tell you that if this thing succeeds, Okay, your merits will be remembered first."
"Uncle Shen needs to give special advice for such a big matter." Li Chu smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
"What on earth is going on?" Shen Jun still didn't understand, so he asked curiously, and quickly added: "If it's confidential, just pretend I didn't ask."
He knew that what his in-laws did every day was basically confidential and not something that outsiders could inquire about at will.
"What kind of secrets are involved? There aren't that many things that need to be kept secret. It's just that a foreigner came to see me for medical treatment. But this foreigner's identity is the president of a large company in the beautiful country. This time he may invest and build a factory in China."
"Hey, you can do it now. Your reputation has spread abroad." Shen Jun looked up and down at Li Chu in surprise.
"What kind of reputation? I just met a few foreigners when I was building the drug testing base there."
"Don't be self-effacing." Shen Jun waved his hand: "Not to mention anything else, our old man's body is just lying there. After your conditioning, he has become more energetic in the past two years than before. "
"As a Chinese medicine practitioner, this is what I do: prevention, conditioning, and treatment. In fact, as long as prevention and conditioning are done properly, there will be less need for treatment."
"You are now fully committed to cultivating Wenxuan to take over, right?"
"We can't talk about taking over. It depends on his own ability. I can't force him to take over." Li Chu shook his head: "I have already given him everything that should be handed over. How to integrate those things depends on His own efforts. If his level has reached that level, I don’t need to recommend him, the Health Bureau will take the initiative to find him."
"Don't put pressure on your child. I heard that he is now being treated alone. He is only in his early twenties and is already doing well."
"Is it really good?" Li Chu asked back, and said with a smile: "I never put any pressure on him. The pressure on him comes from the outside world. Xiaoyi should feel the same way."
Hearing this, Shen Jun also fell silent. How could he, a father, not know the pressure on his son? No, he has been transferred back. He will just go through the formalities when he comes back, and there will be no need to go out again.
What his son said when he talked to him before was that he had become a deserter.
But he didn't think so. He felt that coming back would be another challenge.
"Li Chu, Brother Chu, as a father, I can't help Xiaoyi much. I will still trouble you in the future."
"Where does all this nonsense come from? Xiaoyi is my son-in-law. He needs help. How could I stand by and watch without you saying anything?"
"By the way, Xiaoyi has been allocated a house in their family courtyard. Although it is an old house, it is actually less than ten years old. It looks pretty good. Can you give me an idea on how to clean it up? I think you seem to be very interested in this aspect. You know better."
"What do I know? I just find it comfortable and convenient. Let the two children decide for themselves. Then they will live in it, as long as they like it."
Shen Jun did not continue to dwell on this issue, but thought about it for a while, and then said more seriously: "Brother Chu, there is one more thing we need to discuss in advance."
"What's the matter?" Looking at his solemn expression, Li Chu couldn't help but sit up straight.
"This matter actually gives my dad a headache. It's the dowry you gave Hui Hui. You are setting up our family!"
"What are you talking about?" Li Chu relaxed again when he heard what he said.
"Why can't I give my daughter anything?"
"No one said no. What I mean is that on the wedding day, you don't need to give Hui Hui anything as a small gift. Our family really can't afford the equivalent gift."
Because of this issue of bride price, Shen Jun and his wife almost lost their hair at home.
Especially after the dividends came out two days ago, Mr. Shen told the couple after returning home, which made them even more worried.
The woman's family is too rich, and the man's family is under great pressure.
Shen Jun never thought that one day he would be unable to sleep because of the question of how much gift to give to the woman's family.
"You are worrying too much." Li Chu said with a smile: "Uncle Shen is the same, there is no need to worry about this matter.
Shen Jun, let me tell you this, the things I gave Wen Hui were not for showing off, but just so that the young couple could live a better life in the future, so that they would not have to think about everything for a little money.
After all, Xiaoyi is pursuing a career in politics. In the past few years of liberalization, many people's ideas seem to have begun to change. It seems that many things are measured by money. I don't want them to give up for five buckets of rice in the future."
Shen Jun nodded silently, and then he realized something was wrong, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, don't talk to me about whether you have these things or not. I just said that your dowry things cannot be given as gifts. Otherwise I would be so embarrassed!"
"No problem." Li Chu was a bit dumbfounded: "I'll just give her a few beds of cups, and then give her two boxes with quilts. That's enough."
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Chu! Okay, we've finished what we need to talk about, I'll go back."
"I'll ask Wenxuan to take you back."
"No, Xiaoyi and I went back for a walk. We, father and son, just happened to have a good chat."
…
After sending Shen Jun and his son outside to the road, Li Wenhui knelt down there as soon as they returned to the living room.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. It's all my fault today and I've made you embarrassed."
Li Wenxuan on the side helped his wife to sit on the sofa, and then he stood there without daring to say a word.
"Oh, Hui Hui, this is not a question of shame or shame, but a gift. When guests come to your home, we have agreed in advance. As the host, we have not prepared anything. What do you think the guests will think? If it were you, what would you think?
I won’t say much about you. It’s the fault of a son who doesn’t teach his father well. It’s because I didn’t educate you well. This time I will be punished with you. There are several books passed down by my master on the bookshelf in my study. Let’s take those few books each. Copy it once."
