Chapter 172: Li Jiandong

According to Village Chief Xu, Li Jiandong is also in his early thirties, if it weren't for the village chief next to him, Zheng Yan would not have associated the person who looked at least forty years old with Li Jiandong.

After Li Yan heard the words of the village chief, she also found her father who had come to work.

"Daddy!"

When Li Yan saw her father, she ran directly towards her father, and there was a younger brother with a small tail behind her.

When Li Jiandong saw his daughter and son, he changed his tired state, and looked at the child with a loving face, in addition to love, obviously with deep guilt.

"Jiandong, this is Manager Zheng in the factory, I just came to your house today to have a look, you can talk to Manager Zheng. ”

Although Zheng Yan didn't say that he came specifically for Li Jiandong, Village Chief Xu still deliberately created an opportunity for Li Jiandong.

"Hello, Manager Zheng. ”

"Don't call me Manager Zheng, my name is Zheng Yan, just call me by my name. You shouldn't be much older than me, so I'll call you Brother Dong. ”

"Yanyan, you go to the house and get a few benches to come out. That Zheng Yan is right, there is no place to put your feet in the house, if you don't mind, let's talk here. ”

Although Li Jiandong knew that this exchange with Zheng Yan might have an impact on whether he could go to work in the factory, which was very important to his family, he did not show any flattering expressions, it was a normal exchange and dialogue between the two.

Originally, through the village chief's narration, Zheng Yan's impression of Li Jiandong was very good, but now Li Jiandong's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance has added a lot of points to Zheng Yan's heart.

Not long after Yan Yan entered the house, she took the bench and came out. There was also a woman who came out, perhaps because she didn't work very hard, and looked younger, but her legs were obviously inconvenient, and she was on crutches. Zheng Yan knew that this was Yanyan's mother, Xu Na.

After Xu Na came out, she simply said hello to everyone, and then sat aside to listen to everyone's chat, without interjecting at all.

Zheng Yan was originally only interested in Li Yan, but now he is also curious about Li Jiandong.

"Brother Dong, I heard Village Chief Xu say that you were an educated youth who went to the countryside back then, and you don't know where your hometown is?"

When Zheng Yan mentioned the other party's hometown, Li Jiandong showed a contemplative expression, with some longing, some worries, and some guilt.

"My hometown is from Shanghai, but I haven't been back for many years. ”

To Zheng Yan's surprise, the hometowns of the two turned out to be Shanghai.

"I feel that Yanyan and I are related, it turns out that our hometown is the same place. However, two years ago, because I went to the capital to go to university, my family moved to the capital. By the way, Brother Dong, do you still have contact with your hometown?"

"A few years ago, there was still contact, and I thought that the children would be older and take them back to see it. But since the child's accident, there has been no contact. ”

The ancients said: Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. No matter who it is, they all hope to return to their hometown, so Li Jiandong's behavior is not difficult to understand.

"Speaking of which, I have to apologize to you, I met Yanyan this morning, because of some things, I have some misunderstandings about you. ”

When Li Jiandong heard Zheng Yan's words, he also felt a little strange. But after Zheng Yan explained, he also understood what was going on.

"Anyway, I'm really sorry for Yanyan. Yanyan has been very smart since she was a child and loves to go to school. But as her father, I can't even satisfy her this wish. ”

Speaking of Yanyan's schooling, the guilt on Li Jiandong's face deepened.

In Zheng Yan's view, Li Jiandong is at least a good father. According to Zheng Yan's knowledge, one of the conditions for the educated youths who went to the countryside to return to the city and rebel against the countryside was that they did not get married and have children in the local area.

Countless educated youths who have married and had children have returned to the city in order to escape from the mountains, abandoning their wives and children. There are very few people like Li Jiandong who are willing to stay for his wife and children.

"Brother Dong, you don't have to worry about Yanyan's schooling. In the future, the cost of Yanyan's school can be paid by the company for you, and I believe that with Yanyan's studiousness, you should be able to get a reduced place. ”

"Also, I want to know about my sister-in-law's health. I heard from the village chief that she broke off because of an accident, is there no possibility of a cure?"

Zheng Yan felt that he and Li Jiandong's family were indeed quite fateful, and couldn't help but want to help them.

"No, no, my leg doesn't need to be treated, and if you have money, you should leave it for my children to go to school." ”

Xu Na, who had not spoken since she came out, quickly interrupted when she heard that she was going to help herself with treatment.

Xu Na knows the most about the situation at home. Li Jiandong, as an educated youth who went to the mountains and went to the countryside, is not a high-level intellectual, but in this place, he is definitely literate, so Li Jiandong attaches great importance to the education of his children.

Now that Li Yan has dropped out of school, it can be seen how difficult it has been. Xu Na really didn't want to increase her husband's burden, and she didn't want to delay her children because of her own treatment.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. If your leg can be cured, I can help you solve the problem of money first, and when you have money later, you can pay me back. ”

"And if your leg can be healed, it can be done in the future, whether you are taking care of your children or going to work in the factory. Brother Dong doesn't need to worry about taking care of you and your children, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. ”

No matter what Li Jiandong's education is, just looking at the hardships he has experienced, and his attitude towards these hardships, Zheng Yan can be sure that as long as he cultivates well, he can definitely be entrusted with important tasks.

A person's ability can be cultivated, but it is difficult to change the character, and the character is even more difficult to change.

The reason why Zheng Yan let many companies take shares is because there is no one available. Now, Zheng Yan intends to train Li Jiandong to be his spokesperson in this company.

"Big brother, can my mother's leg be healed? Then I won't go to school, as long as I can heal my mother's leg. ”

When Li Yan said this, although there was some regret in her eyes, her tone was very firm. This shows how difficult it was for Li Yan to make the decision to give up going to school.

The people on the side were deeply moved by the innocence of this child, and Li Jiandong and his wife even held back the tears in their eyes to keep the tears from flowing.

"Yanyan, you don't have to worry, your mother's leg can be healed, and you can continue to go to school. And in the future, your brother can go to school as well. ”

"Really?"

After Li Yan heard Zheng Yan's words, her originally lost expression was full of brilliance again.

"Mom, the eldest brother said that your leg can be healed, and my brother and I can go to school, woo..."

After Li Yan received Zheng Yan's affirmative reply, she hugged Xu Na and cried.

Xu Na also comforted Li Yan while wiping her tears.
