Chapter 130: The Price of Growth
In August 22, the Li family compound successively scattered eight eaglets, this batch of eight children, has touched the hearts of men and women, and in August of the second year, the second batch of six children were also released, this time, everything that can be scattered is released, leaving only four sons who are less than ten years old. From 18 children to 10 children, and finally to 4, this change is so huge, even the staff in the compound feel unaccustomed, for the first time there is a phenomenon that there are more children of the staff than the children of the main family, and several security guards who usually pick up and drop off children also seem to have lost their energy, and there will no longer be a large number of children around them "Uncle, uncle......" screaming, which makes many people unable to accept it at once! At this time, what is more worrying is the mothers, whether they are their own or not, they are all the same uneasy, these children, which one has not been hugged by them, which one has not been teased by them, the first seven mothers, which child has not eaten their NAI water, so yes, women, whether they have a job or not, have these children in their hearts. Everyone wants to see them, cook for them, tuck the quilt for them, worry about their living habits, whether they are bullied, and no one does not complain about their cruel father! Li Mengze is also reluctant to children, although he doesn't like to hold children, but the obedient appearance of the little ones is really cute, not to mention that these are all his children, more than a dozen children of all sizes, and they feel comfortable to watch. But he must scatter the children, and if they do not go through the wind and rain, they will not be able to grow into big trees, and they will not be able to become talents without going through tribulations; The ordeal may be less, but the wind and rain must be felt by them...... These children have lived together since childhood, the family conditions are too superior, this family is not a normal family, it is completely different from most families in society, and the home is too warm, so that they do not know the life of ordinary people, and they are even more unaware of the sinister society. As soon as these children are born, they are determined to be extraordinary, they are a variety of combinations of the second generation of a huge family, not everyone can be engaged in the management of the family's property, and everyone has their own work, but once the family needs, everyone must contribute to the continuation of the family. Now they can live in harmony, brothers and sisters are humble, but there is no guarantee that it will always be like this, they must be allowed to appreciate the multifaceted nature of society, so that each of them has his own favorite things, so that it is possible to avoid possible family disputes and even infighting! They are a new generation that must have their own friends, playmates, lovers, and a life of their own, which will form an effective support for the family, and only old friends in the younger age are more reliable. "Since ancient times, kings have been lonely", that is because he has no friends, and no one has really gotten along with him since he was a child; "No more than three generations of wealth" is because the family is not prepared to endure hardships, forgetting the hardships they have suffered, and not conducting comprehensive training for the descendants of the family. Li Mengze does not believe in evil, he is very selfish, and will never allow his industrial empire to be easily destroyed, so despite the opposition of the women, he resolutely sent the children out of the house; They can make mistakes, they can go astray, they can fail, but they have to grow up, and even if some children end up doing nothing, they will not hesitate to do so! Children can make mistakes and suffer a lot, but as long as they can return to the compound intact, then they will not regret it for the rest of their lives!
Since the children left the house, whether it was a woman or Li Mengze, they were all nervous, and they didn't know if the children could get used to it. At first, the children were obviously not used to it, they were already used to living in groups, and they were living together with many of their peers, but now they suddenly have to live alone, they have to cook their own meals, they have to do their own laundry, they have to lock the door when they leave the house, they have to go to class alone, and all aspects of life are completely different from before, especially when they live alone, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, especially in the dead of night, they feel especially lonely and lonely.
"Mom, I miss you, the food you cook is not delicious at all. The rice is mushy, and the vegetables are salty to death......"
"Put less salt in the next stir-fry......"
"Mom, do you miss me, I miss you, is Dad at home, brothers......"
"Silly boy, of course mom wants to baby......"
"Mom, the teacher doesn't understand the lecture ......"
"Take your time......"
"Mom, when are you coming to see me, I can't sleep at night......"
……
"Mom, I'm fighting again...... But don't worry, I'm fine......"
"Mom, I've fallen in love with a girl......"
"Mom, you won't blame me, do you, I ......"
The little ones can talk for half an hour on the phone, and they don't hang up the phone, and the trivial things are passed on to the family, so that the mothers are distressed and funny, and sometimes some of the questions they ask make them unexpected, and some problems that are not problems have become their big problems. However, as time goes on, these childish questions become less and less, the phone calls are less and less, and each call is getting shorter and shorter, which makes the mothers feel a little lost and some comfort. The women were worried about their children, and a few mothers who did not have a job visited them in private, passed on their years of life experience, cooked a meal for them, folded quilts for them, saw what was missing in their cupboards, and bought them a few clothes...... These away children attract a lot of attention from moms. Of course, their fathers are not easy, not only worrying about the safety of the children, but also "convincing" the masters to guide them one by one before they realize that the family is sheltering them...... The exchange of ideas between the Li family compound and the children is a very important aspect, and each child is required to report what happened to the important things, which is the most concerned issue for adults.
Every child will encounter different problems, such as living alone from home at a young age, lack of social experience, comfortable large family life when they are young, and innate arrogance, which makes them repeatedly have problems in their interactions with their peers; and wealthy, generous, and easy-going, which make the servants around them like clouds, and become the target of girls; Good academic performance and unusual skills make them the center of attention. Every child, almost every semester to report several major "incidents" to the family, such as fights, love, lovelorn and other problems, by the time of 24 years, the first batch of children who left the compound has three people stole the fruit, they slowly explained to their parents the problems they encountered, almost all of them were reported a few days after the incident, which made their mothers cry and laugh, while serious family style, while persuading step by step, saying that they were going to punish the former and the after. Overall, the children's performance was quite satisfactory, similar to the information they received from the side; And the transformation of children's thinking is the most important. They are all aware of the difference between their current life and their original life, and realize that there are all kinds of people in society, including good people, bad people, rich people, poor people, good people and ugly people...... They have also suffered many things, and they are not immune because they are children of the Li family, such as being cheated, stolen, and having disputes with classmates, and more importantly, they have met many new classmates in the city where they live, made some friends, and are familiar with the characteristic living habits of many places!
Sima Yikang is one of the more representative brothers, he has fought, lost love, and was almost taken away from his virginity, and the change in his thinking is a portrayal of the brothers, which is the most satisfying place for mothers and fathers. Since the first summer vacation, most of these children have not stayed at home, but have traveled abroad, or traveled to the mountains and rivers, increased their knowledge, or visited famous mountains and ancient places, increased social knowledge, and fully completed the tasks assigned by their parents. They are gradually getting used to living alone, and they are no longer homesick, which makes adults happy and disappointed! Through the children's mouths, they learned how the society perceived the Li family and what they thought of the fairy and its industry...... The children are also gradually differentiated, and their hobbies are different, some like philosophy, some like physics, some like electronics, and some like medicine...... By June 25, the college entrance examination was completed, and 6 of the eight children applied for the school were in Beijing, one was in Shanghai, and the other applied for a university in Anhui, which can be said to be both centralized and decentralized.
According to the plan, the eldest Renkang went to Zhengzhou, as the eldest son, Li Mengze hopes that he can live in his hometown for a while, after all, Zhengzhou is the provincial capital of his hometown; The second child, Yikang, went to the northeastern port city of Dalian, hoping that he could learn something from this coastal city; Lao San Likang was also sent to the coastal city, and Qingdao should also have the Li family's children; Lao Si Zhikang was sent to the mountain city of Chongqing, the most important city in the southwest, and has always been one of the areas with relatively small fairy influence, such a big place, they should pay attention to it; Lao Wu Dekang was also sent to the Northeast, which was too cold, so he compromised and went to Shenyang; Nanjing, the hometown of the Six Dynasties, under the Stone City, didn't know what it could bring to the Li family, so he put Wenkang Liu here; Shanghai has always been an undesirable place for them, but in such an important place, how could they give up with their broad-mindedness, and put the old seven filial piety into it in order; Lao Ba Xiankang was placed in the spring city of Kunming, the capital city of the southwesternmost province in China. The principle of "exile" is that two children cannot be in the same city, try to go to more important cities, there are many big cities in China, and there are many more important ones, and some places place "exiles", no, Lao Jiuyuzhu was placed in Wuhan, and Lao Shi Xuemei went to Gzhou, why should they be placed in these two cities, it is entirely because of someone's selfish problems; The eleventh Junkang went to Changsha, and the twin brother Xiukang went to Xi'an; The old thirteen Jiakang was in Shenzhen, and the old fourteen was accidentally selected in Jinan; This is all planned, although Li Mengze is lazy, but he still attaches great importance to this matter, the place where the four sons who have not yet entered junior high school will go has already been decided, Zikang will go to Chengdu in the future, Bokang will go to Lanzhou, * will go to Taiyuan when he grows up, Shikang will definitely go to Nanchang to live for a period of time, of course, the parties do not know at all.
The second batch of 6 children who left home were in a similar situation to their brothers, but the two girls got into trouble. As soon as they arrived at the place where they lived, they threatened to do whatever they did if someone did not visit them "immediately"; Originally, in order to facilitate care, the family put one of the two sisters in Wuhan and the other in Gzhou. And the reason why these two cities were chosen is because the Li family has considerable "power" in these two cities, which is convenient for taking care of them under special circumstances, and of course the girls know about these situations. Yuzhu is in Wuhan, everyone knows the great prestige of Donglin Group, if you want to find your grandfather Lin Mingtang, you can mix three meals a day, and Donglin Electronics is already a huge military electronics company, if she goes to report Gigi Lin's name, she can immediately attract the attention of security guards; Xuemei is not ambiguous, if you go to find her grandfather Chen Xiaochong, her grandmother will receive her warmly, not to mention that they also have an aunt in Gzhou. These two girls have been favored by their fathers since they were children, although seeing their fathers is still like a mouse seeing a cat, but they all know that this cat is not scary at all, as long as they don't do too much, they will be "fine". They think that it should be okay to make such a "not excessive" request, after all, "girls, a person is so afraid of being afraid", almost every day to complain to the mothers, so that the mothers were stunned to listen, no way, had to personally comfort and take care of them, a few idle mothers at home have to stay in the two daughters for half a month on average every year, this is how long, four mothers, that is, there are two months of time every year for tourists to accompany them, which can make several mothers tired, simply become a nanny. For this reason, during the winter vacation of the first year of high school, both of them were ashamed of the little brothers, because the little ones happened to be present when they were trained by their father; But this is also something that can't be helped, and in the end, the father who failed finally put his two daughters in a city, "be closer to home", so, from the second year of high school, Yuzhu and Xuemei sisters rented a house, but they didn't attend classes in the same school (this is someone's last bottom line). Relatively speaking, the two daughters are more worrying about the adults, which makes someone who was very fond of his daughter very uncomfortable, this is not the end, when it comes to the college entrance examination, the two of them want to go to B Beijing, fortunately, to the satisfaction of the father, the academic performance of the two people is still sloppy, although not as good as the brothers and brothers, but not much worse, one entered B Beijing Normal University, and the other also followed into B Beijing Normal University!
The rest of the children are quite peaceful, except for some things that make people cry and laugh and laugh, they are all okay, "I don't lose my face", this is someone's original words. Since the first batch of children left the compound, the hearts of the women in the compound have been scattered, and everyone is remembering the children who are far away from home, which Li Mengze knows best, from the eyes of the women, from the women's body movements. Seeing the appearance of the women, Li Mengze was very distressed, which mother did not love her children, but he threw them in the big dye vat of society for his own selfishness and for the so-called family interests, for this reason, he felt that he could not live with women, and treated them more warmly, as long as there was no big thing happening in the company, he tried to stay with everyone, accompany them shopping, send women to work, and he did everything a man could do! Women are constantly involved in children, but they do not ignore the caresses of men, in fact, they also know that the birds in the cage can not withstand the cold test of nature, the flowers in the greenhouse can not withstand the frequent blowing of wind and rain, and children can only really grow up by accepting the tempering of society. When the children stopped being homesick and stopped crying and wiping their tears, they finally let go. As long as they are willing to contact the society, as long as they can persevere in changing their living habits, then they have succeeded for the most part, and if this step is successful, they will be able to find their own place in their personal life in the future, and they will hope to become qualified successors of the family.
A person's growth cannot be smooth sailing, whether he or his parents and relatives, there is a price; No matter how much money you have, no matter how outstanding your talents, no matter how great your power is, you can't escape the arrangement of this life -- the arrangement of fate!
