Chapter 560: The Bottom-to-Last Scientist
Wang Weidong returned to Fushan, and now there is less than half a month before the Spring Festival, and the factory is about to shut down for a holiday.
In addition to the 200 workers who assisted Kyushu Co., Ltd. in building a purification workshop, the other 5,000 or so workers had to go home on vacation.
When Wang Weidong returned home, his father Wang Haifu and father-in-law Lao Chen Touer had already returned.
The eldest brother Wang Xianjin and sister-in-law Qu Xiaomei also rushed to the south for the New Year, and they would stay until after the beginning of spring before going to Ussuriysk to farm.
Seeing his son come back, Li Yufeng complained: "Look at your eldest brother, he earned more than 100,000 yuan from farming this year, although he didn't make as much money as you, but he also bought several sets of good clothes, and he wore them neatly on his body!" You're such a big boss, why don't you get a few good clothes? ”
Wang Haifu was sitting and playing chess face-to-face with his in-laws, Chen Tou'er, he took a leisurely puff of cigarette and said: "In these years, those who have money think about how to hide all day long, and those who don't have money think about how to pretend all day long!" ”
Wang Weidong walked up to the two old men and asked while watching the game of chess: "You two old comrades are gone, who is watching the abandoned factory now?" Since you two old comrades are not working, then I can't pay the salary! ”
"Don't worry, there are people who are willing to do that job! There are several old workers in Xiangyang Chemical Factory who have taken their wives and children, and Hebei is always warmer than Hei Province, right? They are there for the New Year, and we both give them no salary! Wang Haifu said.
Before Wang Weidong could interject, Lao Chen Tou added: "The two of us have to go back after the New Year, and the iron-clad gold Tibetan mastiff is still there, so I really don't worry!" What's the point of living here? If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, Lao Wang and I wouldn't have come back! ”
The three-year-old was so happy to see his father come back that he took out his ice cream from the refrigerator and gave it to Wang Weidong.
Now that the whole family is gathered in Fushan, the house is suddenly much more lively.
At dinner in the evening, Chen Jiwu and his wife were specially found at home, and more than a dozen people had a lively meal.
Because of his happiness, Wang Weidong drank a lot of wine and went to bed after eating.
He woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and went out of the bedroom to find water, only to see his mother busy cooking in the kitchen.
"Everyone is sleeping so late, who are you cooking for?" Wang Weidong asked puzzled.
"Give it to my grandson, my grandson is hungry!" Li Yufeng replied.
"Didn't he eat at night? Besides, now that I'm sleeping, why do I still toss you to get up and cook? Wang Weidong said angrily.
"My grandson loves science now! It's been freezing outside for hours, what's wrong with me cooking him something to eat? Li Yufang said disapprerovingly.
Wang Weidong hurriedly walked to the window and looked into the courtyard, and by the light in the house, Wang Weidong saw a man from Momo Lake sitting in the courtyard, and there was a cannon barrel-shaped thing in front of him pointing obliquely to the sky.
"The guy out there right now is Xiaolong? What's that cannon barrel? Wang Weidong asked in surprise.
"My grandson has a passion for science, and he wants to be a scientist when he grows up! He likes to look at the stars now, so I spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy him an astronomical telescope. Li Yufeng said as a matter of course.
"If he asks you to buy it, you will buy it for him? That's more than 3,000 dollars! Wang Weidong asked.
"I paid for my own money, and I didn't spend yours!" Li Yufeng said confidently.
"Didn't spend my money? Your old lady only has a pension of about 200 yuan a month, even if you don't eat or drink, you don't have 3,000 yuan a year! Wang Weidong retorted.
"It's a good thing that kids love science! I bought it for him, mother, what can you do with me? Li Yufeng raised his voice and shouted.
In front of his mother, Wang Weidong had no way to get angry, he pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
The two of them were arguing loudly just now, but Xiaolong didn't hear anything, his eyes were still on the astronomical telescope, and he was engrossed in observing the stars.
It's January and the temperature at night is below ten degrees. It's also cold to be outside for a few hours all the time.
Wang Weidong couldn't help but admire his son's perseverance.
"Get out of the way! Let me see it too! Wang Weidong said.
Xiaolong was startled by the sudden sound and turned his head to see his father, who hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.
After Wang Weidong sat down, he adjusted the telescope to aim at half a moon in the sky.
"My grass, it's so big!" Wang Weidong said while watching.
"What was your final exam?" Wang Weidong asked.
"Thirty-seventh." Xiaolong replied honestly.
"There are 38 people in the class, you are the thirty-seventh, or the second-to-last!" Wang Weidong said dissatisfiedly.
"In the past two months, two more students have come to the class." Xiaolong corrected.
"So you're fourth from the bottom, and you're making rapid progress!" Wang Weidong said mockingly.
At this moment, Li Yufeng also walked out, she hugged her grandson with both hands and walked into the house.
"The noodles are ready, hurry up and eat them while they're hot! Don't listen to your dad, he was naughty when he was a child, how can you be so promising! Li Yufeng said.
Because the quarrel between Wang Weidong and Li Yufeng's mother and son was too loud, Wang Xinjian, who was still watching TV in the bedroom on the third floor, heard it.
He rolled around the bed laughing and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Our mom can really fix it! If you fail a door like Xiaolong, you can still be a scientist! Wang Xianjin said.
Daughter Xiaoya is sensible and obedient, and her academic performance is also very good, which is the pride of Wang Xianqu Xiaomei and his wife.
In the competition with his brother, only Xiaoya can still do it.
Qu Xiaomei sighed and said: "The children of rich families are different, what do you want, our mother didn't blink when she bought the astronomical telescope for more than 3,000 yuan!" ”
"What's the use of making that much money? In the future, if the son is not angry, he will not be able to keep the family business at all! Wang Xianjin said.
"Don't gloat, he's your brother! Without Weidong, how could our Xiaoya have such good conditions to study? Qu Xiaomei said.
Wang Weidong returned to the kitchen to serve himself a bowl of noodle soup to drink.
He sat across from his son and asked, "Aren't you cold for a few hours outside?" ”
"When I lived in the village, I used to go sheep herding with my classmates in winter, and it was often windy and snowy." Xiaolong said disapprerovingly.
Li Yufeng touched Xiaolong's head and said: "My grandson has a good heart and eyes, can endure hardships, and will definitely be successful when he grows up!" ”
Wang Weidong lamented in his heart, people who can endure hardships are easy to be satisfied with the status quo, how can people with good hearts make money?
He is now starting to give up on his son, and it would be good to be able to live a peaceful life when he grows up.
In the following days, Wang Weidong saw Xiaolong in the courtyard every night observing the stars in the sky with an astronomical telescope, and in the second half of the night every day, even Wang Weidong began to admire his son's perseverance.
