He was not against fooling around with his friends in school, but this did not mean that he would openly support it like his parents, or even encourage it!
Li Zhaokun's face fell. "In my time, a child of his age would be able to crawl on the ground."
"That's right, that's right." Wang Yulan echoed. "When I gave birth to your eldest sister, I was not that old."
"How can it be the same now? Go back in time, a bag of sorghum noodles could be exchanged for a wife.
Now?
Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp. He's not good at studying, and he's a good-for-nothing. How can he find a good wife? " Although the reality Li He was talking about didn't have much to do with the Li Family, as long as he was around, Yang Huai would still be able to find a wife. But, this didn't stop him from using his words to scare the old couple.
"That's right, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, Galaha looking for a scumbag." No matter how shameless Li Zhaokun was, he had no intention of asking his uncle to help his nephew find a wife. He only said, "Then we'll plan first. It's not too late to talk about it after we get a good one and get into a university."
It was not that he did not improve over the years. At least he realized the importance of studying. For example, his Li family was the best proof! There were at least three university students in one subject!
Including his daughter-in-law, that would be four!
He himself had failed his whole life and achieved nothing. The lessons of failure were more than the experiences of success. He was a lazy man, and his son was even more of a lazy man. However, just because the lazy man had more education than him, he was richer than him. This already explained the problem.
Now that he was back in his hometown, he would spit on those parents who easily asked their children to drop out of school. If they didn't want to study, they should just stay at home and farm for the rest of their lives!
It was said that farmers had feelings for the land. In fact, most people had no other way out other than farming. There was no other way to support their families!
Many people were forced to farm at home …
Their hands and feet were covered with calluses, and they worked themselves to death. After removing the pesticides, seeds, fertilizers, and withdrawing money, how much would they be left with?
They would know if their children had tuition fees when school started.
If there was a good job, most people would choose to go out to work. Whether it was setting up stalls, doing business, working in factories, or even picking up trash, it was better than farming at home!
Everyone had a sense of belonging and a sense of security towards their land and hometown. The land was just their last resort and last resort.
Just like him and Wang Yulan, even if they were no longer in their hometown and didn't farm anymore, they still couldn't lose the land!
If he really couldn't survive in the city one day, he would really have nothing to eat when he returned home!
He no longer had the boldness he had when he was young. He was very timid and began to be overcautious. He began to consider his livelihood and began to pay attention to his daily necessities.
Occasionally, he would help Wang Yulan clean up the garden and feed the animals. These were things that he would not have been willing to do when he was younger.
However, in his opinion, there was no need for him to work so hard. There was no need for him to wake up early and work late. If he wanted to be busy, he could do it. If he didn't want to be busy, he could just leave it there. It was more of a hobby or a way to kill time.
"Did you hear what your grandpa said?" Wang Yulan always adhered to the principle that whatever her man said was right.
"I heard him." Seeing that no one had any intention of complaining to his father, Yang Huai heaved a sigh of relief.
Li He asked, "Your sister is going to the summer camp. What about you guys? Going back to your hometown?"
Yang Huai and Li Pei looked at each other, speechless. Actually, the expressions on their faces showed that neither of them was willing to go back to their hometown.
Li Pei said, "I want to join the swimming class."
"What? You have to spend money to learn swimming? " After living in Hong Kong for so many years, Wang Yulan still couldn't keep up. She was most afraid of hearing children say that they wanted to join this "class" or that "class," such as harmonica class or calligraphy class, which meant that they had to spend money.
Now, learning dog paddle also required money, which was even more incomprehensible to her.
Seeing that Li He was looking at him, Yang Huai quickly said, "I'm signing up for vocal music. The class is starting soon."
"So, neither of you wants to go back?"
A few years ago, when these two children didn't want to go back, the adults could still force them. However, as they slowly grew up, they couldn't force them anymore.
From a children's perspective, Li He understood them. Growing up in a cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong, although they could still tell the difference between wheat and chives, it was difficult for them to identify with the countryside, and it was difficult for them to integrate into the rural environment.
Was it fortunate or unfortunate?
Li He couldn't tell himself.
Yang Huai asked tentatively, "Why don't you tell my dad not to pick me up?"
What could he do at home?
He didn't even know.
In his hometown, other than his parents, he had no friends or classmates. He didn't even know many of his relatives, let alone playmates.
Moreover, in the countryside, there was basically no entertainment. Even the television programs were different from those in Hong Kong. After the sky turned dark, there was nothing else to do but sleep with the lights off.
His family had a house in the county, and his parents would bring him to stay there for a few days to show their consideration. However, to him, there was not much difference between the county and the countryside. There were just a few more billiard rooms and video arcades, and these were all forms of entertainment that were restricted by his parents.
Wang Yulan said, "Your dad will be so touched."
Yang Huai lowered his head and didn't say anything.
"Swimming can train my body." Li Pei argued a little.
"How about this, I'll give you a discount. You can stay there for half a month, then come back." Li He tried to find a compromise.
"Can you agree to that?" Yang Huai asked hopefully. He knew that it was impossible for him not to go back. No matter how many excuses he had, his father would definitely say that he could learn vocal music anywhere. Then, he would eagerly sign him up for a vocal music class in the county.
"I'll ask for you. It's up to your luck." Li He didn't intend to make the decision for Yang Xuewen and Li Long. In the end, it was still up to them to decide.
The two children were helpless. They could only resign themselves to fate.
After lunch, he prepared to take an afternoon nap. After all, he had been too excited last night, slept late, and started early. He had just laid down when Li Ke knocked on his door. "Uncle, you have a guest."
Li Ke smiled and said, "A beauty!"
"Where did you learn that from? You're so glib." Li He casually patted her head and went downstairs. It was indeed a beauty.
"Little Li, did I become prettier and you can't recognize me?" The first person to greet him was a beauty.
"Zhao Qing? Why are you here? "Li He almost thought he had mistaken her for someone else.
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "No, I called Boss He for a chat. She said you were in Hong Kong, so I dropped by to see you."
