Wang Yulan sighed and said, "It's good to go out and make money, but there's no one at home. It's empty. In a few years, when we're all gone, there won't even be a ghost left in this village."
One thing was very clear in her heart. Her sons and grandsons all had houses, cars, and careers in the city. They could have settled down. The reason why they were willing to return to their hometown was because of the old people like them. But if they left, the countryside would decline.
Pan Guangcai's mother said disapprovingly, "We're all gone. There's food and drink outside. It's much better than at home. Why would I come back? At most, I'll ask them to burn more paper money during the New Year. I'm going to run ahead of you. After this trip to the hospital, the doctor said I'm fine, but I don't feel well. I can't eat or sleep well. "
"Live one day at a time." Wang Yulan continued, "I'm going to stay with my second son for a few days. Help me look after the house. Put the key in the window sill. You can see it when you open the window. Feed the pigs twice a day, and change the water for the chickens and ducks in the cages frequently."
"Yes." Pan Guangcai's mother agreed without hesitation.
On the day of departure, they drove a Hummer. It was impossible for Li Zhaokun to take a sedan.
In recent years, Li Zhaokun had not been so timid. He didn't need to take a big truck when he went out, but there was only one requirement. It had to be a big, black, and safe car. He could use an SUV for short trips, but it had to be a Hummer for long trips. Otherwise, he wouldn't go out even if he was beaten to death.
This Hummer was bought by Li He just for the convenience of going to the provincial capital to see a doctor. For this purpose, he had specially assigned a driver. Needless to say, it was impossible for Li Zhaokun to pay for the gas and driver's expenses. It was impossible for him to pay for it in this lifetime.
However, most of the time, it was Li Long who drove. Li Zhaokun went out less and less now.
When they arrived at the airport, Qiu Liang and Song Gu were already waiting at the door.
The two of them had been roaming around Provincial City under the guise of bodyguards. If Li He had not summoned them, they would have thought that Li He had forgotten about them.
Over the years, Li He was used to chartering planes. The planes belonged to his Delta Air Lines.
In 2002, Delta Air Lines officially embarked on the road of mergers and acquisitions. First, it acquired the United Kingdom's easyJet, then in 2008, it acquired LOT Polish Airlines and Kenya Airways. In terms of passenger capacity and fleet size, it was the largest airline in Europe. In terms of passenger capacity, it was the fifth largest airline in the world.
Headquartered in London, its core business is operating scheduled European and international passenger and cargo flights. Its flight network covers more than 450 air destinations around the world. So far, it has a total of more than 230 aircraft, operated by "Air Giant" A380 and "Air Queen" B747-800. It is one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the industry, with an average age of only
Six months.
This was the result of Li He's unintentional efforts. He did not expect that Delta Air Lines could develop to such a scale.
Delta Air Lines did not have domestic flights in major provincial capitals. Generally, they flew overseas routes. However, for his convenience, they specially opened domestic charter routes.
On the surface, Delta Air Lines was an international consortium invested by Belarus' Buffo Group, Japan's SoftBank Group, America's Sanofi Real Estate, Italy's Omnitel Telecom Group, Finland's Nokia, and the United Kingdom's ARM. However, in reality, it was an airline giant that Elder Li had 100% private ownership of.
Therefore, it could not be considered as an abuse of power. After all, it was his own company that was serving him.
As soon as they got off the plane, Wang Yulan put a jacket on the stubborn Li Zhaokun. "Don't freeze to death."
"You're such a troublemaker." Li Zhaokun did not want to wear such thick clothes, even though he felt a little cold.
"If you get sick later, you'll hurt me again." Wang Yulan did not care if Li Zhaokun was angry or not. She just told the truth. "You're sick, and you don't know how to handle it."
Her health had always been better than Li Zhaokun's. Other than the occasional cold, there were no major problems.
"Get in the car." The old couple quarreled. Li He could not be bothered. Perhaps they treated it as a hobby.
Five, Li Yan, and the others were waiting at the door. When they saw the old couple get out of the car, they went to greet them.
"You're not airsick, are you?" Li Yan took the bag from Wang Yulan.
Wang Yulan said, "I peeled two oranges to eat when I got on the plane. I didn't vomit much. Unlike before, when I was suffering."
She turned around and looked at her daughter. She asked worriedly, "Why are you so thin?"
Five said, "I'm still thin. I'm so fat that I don't even like it. I'm trying to lose weight."
Li He wanted to make tea, but he could not find his teapot.
He Fang took it out from the drawer.
"Why did you put it in there?" The mouth of the teapot was facing down. Under the light, it was very dirty.
He Fang pouted at the little girl who was jumping around on the sofa. "With that little ancestor here, how can we put things everywhere? No matter what it is, it can be cleaned up."
Li Zhaokun was playing with the little girl. Seeing that the little girl had no intention of getting close to him, he felt bored and went into the room to sleep.
"Just wash it casually." After passing the teapot to He Fang, Li He walked to the little girl and said with a straight face, "Come down and sit down. If you continue to be naughty, Uncle will beat you."
"Will it hurt?" The little girl asked crisply, but she had no intention of getting off the sofa.
Li He raised his hand. "Do you want to try it first?"
"Okay." The little girl was about to jump off the sofa. Li He was afraid that she would dodge, so he quickly picked her up. "You're so naughty. Who did you learn it from?"
Five said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you for free."
"Thank you, but I can't wait on this living ancestor." Li He waved his hand and then asked Li Kuo, who was beside him, "Where's that little ancestor of yours?"
Li Kuo said, "School started yesterday. This child doesn't pay attention to her studies at all. She's addicted to games. She's not allowed to play at home, but she dares to go to an internet cafe. She's only 12 years old and she's already so difficult to manage. I wonder what she'll be like in a few years. "
Peng Yue said, "I saw that there's a school that specializes in treating internet addiction. We'll talk about sending her there. If she continues to play, she'll really become a cripple."
Li He teased Li Kuo, "What about when you didn't have the internet? Do you remember when you were young, Third Aunt wouldn't let you watch TV, saying that it would affect your studies? So you secretly watched it.
Your grades were always bad. Third Aunt even said that it was all because of the TV. "
Li Kuo said embarrassedly, "It's different now. When I was young, I didn't know much. TV was nothing more than movies and dramas. Now, it's the same if I don't watch it. When I get bored, I won't watch TV for ten days to half a month."
