Chapter 40: The Family and the Country (II)
"Not only rich, but probably much richer than we imagined, but Director Zhang, we are just talking about it in private. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Li Mo, I know. β
But I understand it, because the income gap is too large, most of these international students will not come back.
The chief designer also estimated that some people would run, and said a word, not afraid to run, a hundred people ran away from ten people, twenty people, and eighty people.
But it was worse than he thought.
By the beginning of the 21st century, 1.4 million students who had studied abroad at public and private expense had been counted, and only 400,000 had returned. It seems that the proportion is not small, but it is necessary to deduct some of the pure gold-plated, some of which cannot be mixed in foreign countries, and those who come back later when they see the country getting better and have more opportunities. If these three categories of people are deducted, how many people are left?
Especially in the past few years, many of those international students who have taken the country's pitiful foreign exchange and studied abroad at public expense have not returned. Of course, you can't kill them all with a stick, and there are still some people who have come back with the country in mind and have made a lot of contributions to the country.
"These people really don't come back, and their conscience is eaten by dogs, Mo'er, you can't learn from them in the future. β
"No, there is no country and no home, and one loyalty and two filial piety are the most basic standards of morality. Just like my parents, sometimes they beat me, do I hate them? Dogs don't think their families are poor, their sons don't think their mothers are ugly, and they have the grace to give birth to them. β
In particular, the gap between the two countries is so big that as long as they see it, some people will even think that China will not be able to catch up with the lighthouse country in a hundred years.
But with the awkward stinky and hard character of the Li family, it is really difficult to say that it is good, but it is really difficult to have a connection with the betrayal of the country.
Aunt Huang listened twice and asked, "Li Mo, does your father often beat you?"
"Hit," Li Shibu immediately testified.
That's back to the topic, he can't understand English, studying abroad, immigration, etc.
"It's often hit, but you also have to understand, the main thing is still a sentence, poor couples mourn everything. β
"What do you know about husband and wife," Aunt Huang couldn't help but smile again, laughing at the two small dimples, Li Mo praised her for her beauty, and her appearance was indeed very beautiful.
"Godmother, don't look at me as young, I understand, but this husband and wife are not husband and wife, but a family, and when the family is poor, there will be many contradictions. β
There are also two backgrounds, there are many children now, it is not uncommon, especially for rural people, domestic violence education is very normal. It's not Li Mo's family, many families have this situation, but the severity is different.
One is poor, two are more than three illiterate, which can be regarded as a product of the times.
The Li family moved to Lizhuang, which seemed to be close to the town, but the actual environment was bad, and they were a little angry from time to time, and their personalities were somewhat distorted...... There are many more reasons for this.
The marriage of parents is also a product of the times, and the injustice in my mother's heart when she was young is also one of the reasons for family disharmony. But Li Mo didn't say, you divorce, can you say such a thing as a child? Don't dare to say it, then you can't be beaten to death. Well, they quarrel until they get old, and their relationship gets better and better, but I don't know how many turbulent waves they live in as children. It's not that it's illiterate, and emotional intelligence is also a factor.
The unexpected arrival of my younger brother......
Li Mo is indeed talented in reading, think about it, he doesn't even have a textbook for most of the semester, and he can still take a 100-point test from time to time, most of the time he occupies the first sentence in the class, and his talent is almost the same? Because his father is illiterate, he often has more than enough heart but not enough strength to do in his life, and he can't blame his grandmother, who is a widow and a widow, it is not easy to pull them up. It's just like his younger brothers and sisters don't have the talent to read, if you have talent, Lao Tzu supports you to study, why don't you study hard? He never asked Li Mo what he was beaten up like when he was in school because of his young age, let alone the reason for Li Mo's declining grades. Anyway, as soon as it falls, it will be flattened. He thought he was strict.
Several reasons have finally formed a serious vicious circle, otherwise, with Li Mo's talent, I dare not say that Peking University and Tsinghua University, there is still no problem with general key universities.
Of course, my father also has a respectable side, hardworking, willing to endure hardships, and hardships to the point of unimaginable, with backbone...... But Li Mo still didn't want to quarrel at home, and he didn't want to be beaten from time to time.
Among these factors, poverty is the main cause. Therefore, Li Mo desperately wants to quickly make the family better, the family situation gradually improves, and most of the problems can be solved, otherwise he will continue to suffer from the pond fish.
"What should I do? They are still my parents, won't they be filial in the future? The same is true of the country, do you betray him because you are poor? And I believe that the country will get better and better, but it is just a slight detour. β
It may be possible to temporarily immigrate to the United States and live a relatively wealthy life, but no matter how rich you are, you will always be a person of color, and your status is not even as good as that of a black person!
Li Mo didn't want to be that angry bag.
The old lady asked, "Then why are you teaching yourself English?"
"Earn foreigners' money. β
"Ambitious. β
Several people thought that Li Mo was just ambitious......
Is foreigners' money so easy to make? And Li Mo is at most a very smart and precocious child, very smart and precocious is to describe, the child is the core, maybe a child to the point of Li Mo, it is rare to be rare, but it is a child after all.
It's good to be ambitious, so encourage it.
Li Mo is also willing, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, and he doesn't want to say more.
After eating, Director Zhang, on behalf of everyone on behalf of the commune, repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
With the help of the Vegetable Bureau, he is the godson of Section Chief Huang...... Finally inquired about the official position of the godmother, and the matter was done quickly, and even a car was transferred from the bureau to send several large bundles of agricultural film and eight generations of potash fertilizer, some pesticides and boron fertilizers to the long-distance bus station.
I have to toss a little bit at the bus station in County A, but Li Shibu has a lot of strength, six catties of young and strong, Li Qiang is also a worker, and he moved into the car to Cao Town. Not far from the Caozhen bus station is the main ditch for drainage, Li Shibu let six catties take care of these materials at the bus station, but it is not a lack of money, he and Li Qiang took Li Mo back in a hurry, the materials are a little too much, more than a thousand catties, you have to support the boat over, and load it back with the boat.
This has nothing to do with Li Mo anymore.
Li Mo found his parents who were working in the fields, took off his watch and said, "Dad, here you are." β
Last year, Li Guangping gritted his teeth and bought an alarm clock, Li Mo didn't go out, and it was enough to have an alarm clock at home.
But his father often went out at night to fish for blackfish and soft-shelled turtles, and he couldn't figure out the time, so he often didn't dare to sleep, so Li Mo handed over the watch to his father.
In the previous life, you gave me a watch, and in this life, I will give you a watch, I hope you don't quarrel in the future.
Maybe it's a handover, an end, a beginning.
Li Guangping was puzzled and strange at first, and then angry.
"Where did you get the watch?"
Li Guangping can't be blamed for this, Li Guangping's moral outlook is still very good, at least in this regard, he has given his children a good start.
How expensive are watches now?
At least in the past two years, Li Guangping didn't dare to think about it.
"Dad, do you remember that beautiful female aunt in the Vegetable Bureau in Stone Town?"
In Cao Town, people often call people younger than their fathers aunts, both men and women, and of course, they can also call uncles and aunts.
Therefore, Li Mo affixed a female character in front of it.
Only seven days have passed, how Li Guangping does not remember, he said: "Yes." β
Li Mo told what had happened and asked, "It doesn't matter if you recognize two godmothers, right?"
The so-called dry relatives, that is, two families are better, so that the children can marry each other. Then the two families will be closer to each other, and the relationship will be more intimate. There is also a superstitious saying in the countryside that children often get sick, and if they recognize a godfather, they will change their lives, so it is more prudent, such as the father's godson, and even the surname Shen has changed his surname to Li with his father. Moreover, Li Moruo went to Hegang Village to pay New Year's greetings, the first to worship his godfather and godmother, and then to worship his uncle's year.
In short, Li Mo, the new godmother, is a little out of line with the "procedures".
Li Guangping was also at a loss, there are many rural children who recognize their godsons, but none of them recognize two godparents, does it matter?
He asked his grandmother: "Mom, it's okay for Xiao Mozi to recognize the two godparents." β
"What does it matter, one is in the countryside, the other is in the city, and there are two provinces separated by it. Grandma said.
"To set up a bar. β
"Dad, this is a rural custom, people are not prosperous in the city, and it is not easy to put it out, you go to Stone Town to set up wine, or invite people to eat wine with us?"
"Yes, but this table ...... What do we have to give in return?" Li Guangping was embarrassed again, he didn't like to take advantage of others all his life, and it was a watch.
"The family situation is good, no less than my aunt's family, what do you use to return the gift? β
But Li Mo said in his heart, poor self-esteem, I don't know whether to talk about his father or his self in his previous life.
