Chapter 41: Filial piety
The listeners are often praised in addition to envy, and after the speaker has obtained psychological satisfaction, they do not forget to catch their naughty children and teach them a lesson.
"Dead child, you know how to play all day long, and you don't study well, look at your third aunt's house, your old cousin is promising, you are a college student, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future!"
Naturally, there are envy people, there are envy people, and some people who suffer from pink eye will pout, look disapproving, and come to the previous paragraph coldly.
"What's so rare? Look at Guo Zhongyi, and Yangpu, what kind of graduate students did they study, one left his father and old man in his rural hometown, lived in a small dilapidated house, and no one cared about him when he was sick, and he didn't take a penny home. The other simply ran back to get married, but the next day he rolled up all the gift money and left, leaving all the debts to the old father and mother. ”
Guo Zhongyi is the first "Xiucai" in Banbei New Village, and after graduating from university, he went to graduate school directly, and he studied steel, and it is said that he will become a scientist in the future. In order to provide for his education, his father was fifty or sixty years old, and he went to the mountains to collect sheepskins and sell them everywhere.
After graduating, Guo Zhongyi was assigned to the university as a lecturer, because he married a woman in the city, he left his old father alone in the countryside, and his old father was sick and went to Tuocheng to find him, but his wife disliked the old man, saying that the old man had nothing to do all day on the balcony to turn lice, and did not wash clothes or bathe, which was extremely embarrassing.
The old man was very angry when he heard this, and went home overnight, and was unwilling to go to Tuocheng again.
Guo Zhongyi wanted to give money to his father, but his wife disagreed, and pestered him to cry and make trouble for several days and nights, until Guo Zhongyi repeatedly promised not to give money privately.
During the New Year's holidays, because his wife was reluctant to go back to his hometown in the countryside, he thought his house was dirty, and as a result, Guo Zhongyi was not able to go home for the New Year for several years.
In his previous life, Li Bayi heard that Guo Zhongyi had received a reward of one million from the provincial government for an invention. Unfortunately, at that time, his father had been dead for many years, and the grass on the grave was half waist deep.
The other Yangpu, from Menglian Village, worked at the Institute of Ethnic Studies after graduating from university, and later studied as a graduate student. When I got married, I ran back to my hometown to get married, and the marriage was arranged by my parents with a loan, and the next day after the marriage, the two of them swept away all the gift money, leaving behind a messy ground, a green shed, undispersed guests and tens of thousands of debts.
These two people are the most famous scholars within a radius of dozens of miles, but they have done things that are incomprehensible to simple ordinary people.
At that time, it had only been a few years since the household contract responsibility system was realized in the rural areas, and many ordinary people were trying to solve the problem of eating, and most of them were unwilling to let their children go to school, but helped their parents to work.
At that time, many people couldn't even graduate from elementary school, just like Xiaomei's mother Wang Guangzhen, who was called home early to work. No matter how good the study is, and if you want to read it again, your parents don't read it, thinking that the old farmer @ the people, as long as you know a few words and can calculate simple accounts.
This is what the saying goes, "What big future does the old farmer want"?
Only a very small number of enlightened parents, or discerning people, will let their children read all the way forward when they can read and learn well.
Li Yuanfang is because the six brothers and sisters have studied for a few days, and all of them have become city people, only he is illiterate, and he can only suffer in the countryside with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky. So he is determined to let the children study hard and jump out of the "farm gate".
Since childhood, his parents have been very strict with Li Bayi's brothers and sisters, as long as they see Li Bayi playing, they will be called to work, and as long as Li Bayi is studying and doing homework, no matter how busy he is, he will not shout for help, for fear of delaying Li Bayi's study.
When Li Bayi was young, he was not very good at reading, and he was very playful, but because he could not bear the heavy work in the countryside and the hardships of life, he had to study hard, and his academic performance gradually got better and better from junior high school, and he was even finally admitted to university.
The behavior of Guo Zhongyi and Yang Pu not only had a great impact on the people in the village who did not attach importance to education, but even Li Bayi's parents were affected, for fear that they would follow in the footsteps of their parents and confess a white-eyed wolf in vain. So he often nagged in Li Bayi's ear.
At that time, Li Bayi secretly swore in his heart that he must earn a lot of money and let his parents live a good life. Let the neighbors see that not everyone who goes to college is wolf-hearted, does not know how to be grateful, and will not be filial to their parents.
It's a pity that in his previous life, Li Bayi struggled all his life, still had nothing, still ran around all day long for survival, failed to fulfill his filial piety, and didn't dare to go home during the New Year's holidays, and even his mother passed away.
In this life, Li Bayi finally changed his fate, not only to get back the lost 8,000 yuan, but also to earn tens of millions of wealth in a short period of time, he already has the capital to honor his parents, and he also has the ability to change the fate of relatives and friends around him.
Li Yuanfang is extremely strong, he believes that the reason why he returned to the countryside to farm is because he has not read and is illiterate, and he does not want his children to be farmers like himself, working tiring and harder than others, but eating worse than others.
He and his wife get up early and work hard to earn money for their three children to study, just to change the fate of the children, so that they can also become city people, serve iron rice bowls, eat public meals, and ensure income in drought and flood.
Of course, there is another point, that is, he does not admit defeat, wants to fight for his group of brothers and sisters living in the city, and wants to show his old mother who has always looked down on him, although he is a farmer and he is illiterate, he can still raise his children to become the most promising people in the Li family.
Whether it is Li Yuanfang or Wang Yingqin, in fact, they don't have much desire for material things, as long as their sons are angry, they can earn some face, they can support them well when they are old, and they can have money to treat them when they are sick, this is their greatest wish in life.
"Why did you change back to Han again? I'm about to change your brother to Yi as well! ”
After holding it for a few days, Li Yuanfang couldn't help it, so he asked about his son. If it weren't for the fact that his son had become much more mature and stable since he went to college, and he was still very disciplined, that day, he would have said that he would not agree with his son to change the Yi nationality back to the Han nationality.
The Yi nationality has extra points, Li Bayi enjoyed this treatment when he took the college entrance examination and went to university, and now not only has he changed it back, but he is not allowed to change Li Gang's.
The junior Li Gang is in the first year of junior high school, if he is of the Yi nationality, it will be very beneficial to him in the future high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, and even use it in the future work.
