After sending everyone away, he casually washed up and lay on the bed. Naturally, Wang Yulan and Duan Mei were there to clean up the kitchen. Moreover, Li Yan was also very sensible and had been helping to wash the dishes.
Lying on the bed in a daze, he could hear the cicadas chirping outside the window, and the frogs croaking in the fields. This symphony was really "harmonious", and he found a familiar feeling.
But the buzzing sound of the mosquitoes in the room made him irritated. The moonlight in front of the bed made the mosquitoes very arrogant. He kept slapping them, and before the first wave subsided, another wave came, and the bites were painful and itchy.
Was it good for his 1.7 meters tall body to be bitten on the sole of his foot? He guessed that it must be a short-sighted mosquito!
Suddenly, he slapped his face. His cheek was bitten by a mosquito, and he was really annoyed.
Did he not have enough pimples on his face?
He immediately sat up and turned the fan to the highest setting!
Although the mosquitoes still wanted to drink his blood, he wanted them to fly against the strong wind to drink it. He wanted them to die of exhaustion, and let them know that no effort, no return!
Furthermore, the concentration of alcohol in their blood was so high, and they would die from drinking it!
"How much trouble can it take to light a mosquito coil?" Li Zhaokun turned on the light and brought a plate of mosquito coil over.
"Put it there." Li He was sure that he was not drunk, but he felt that something was wrong. Was this the legendary fatherly love? "What's the matter?"
Li Zhaokun put down the mosquito coil, but he did not leave. He lit a cigarette and looked at the beams of the house.
Li He was puzzled.
Li Zhaokun had drunk a lot of alcohol, but he still looked very energetic. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and whether he could get some income from his son depended on what he said. He lowered his voice. "It's okay."
Although his voice was low, his eyes were shining with a light that was not usually seen.
This light was shouting eagerness, excitement, and a little pride. He did not know when he started to be proud of his son, whom he did not like before.
I am a man who does not care about anything, and I have such a son. What should I be afraid of?
He once had the hope of starting a business, but no matter what, he had to solve the urgent problem of eating and drinking. Even if he had the sincerity to earn money, he still worshipped the God of Fortune many times. However, there was nothing he could do. He spent his entire life wandering around, unable to control his own life. He was like a boat without a rudder, drifting in the Huai River.
He had once given a passionate speech in Li Village, saying that he must make a name for himself.
Even though his words were flowery, his heart was lacking in ambition. What he said and what he believed were two completely different things. He was lazy, but he knew that in his heart, living was supposed to be luxurious and comfortable, drinking and playing cards.
From a young age to an old age, he began to complain that the heavens and the earth didn't give him a chance.
Fortunately, his two sons did not disappoint him, so he could enjoy a few years of leisure.
After Old Li's family made their fortune, he began to have some style. He always felt that there was no one better than him in the entire Hongheqiao Commune. Even his good friend Mouse Wang, he faintly looked down on him.
Many of the friends he made were so-called "people of the scene." People like Mouse Wang used to be the "people of the scene" in his eyes. Whenever he played cards, drank, and fooled around with these people, he always thought that one or two of his friends would become successful, and then he would benefit from it.
When he was with these friends, his appearance and style of doing things would definitely be qualified, absolutely not shameful. He would try his best to blend in with some circles, even if he had to lower his head, he wouldn't mind drinking and gambling. These were all the needs of social interaction.
But now, he didn't think like that. When the commune secretary saw him, he had to give him a cigarette. Now, he even dared to visit the secretary of the county committee. How could people like Mouse Wang stand in his eyes?
If he had any regret in his heart, it would be that his son did not become an official. The style of his eldest daughter-in-law when she came back last year was still fresh in his memory. There was an endless stream of leaders who came to visit. According to his fourth daughter, these were all leaders of the City and County Education Commission.
Although he was honored, he would never bask in his wife's glory. This was something he absolutely wanted.
Then, if his son became an official, what would happen?
Wouldn't that mean that he would have more things to exhibit and elevate his status even more?
Of course, this was not wishful thinking. Deputy Mayor He Jun once told him that if his son wanted to become an official, he would be more powerful than the Deputy Mayor.
Even more powerful than the Deputy Mayor!
Being the Deputy Mayor's father, this was definitely possible!
"Really?" Li He felt that something was wrong.
For the first time, Li Zhaokun was concerned about his son's career. Before he finished smoking a cigarette, he lit a second cigarette and asked, "Don't you have any thoughts of improving?"
"What do you mean?" Li He couldn't understand his father's thoughts. He also sat on the bed, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.
Li Zhaokun cleared his throat and said, "Little Lan's mother is already an official. Why aren't you anything?"
"Why do you want to ask this?" Li He was spoiled. It was not easy for his father to raise the question to this level.
"Take Li Dong for example. He didn't even finish junior high, and he's still an officer at a grain station. He's so arrogant every day. I mean, as a university student, you should be better than him, right?" Li Zhaokun sincerely disliked this nephew of his. He had also met the County Mayor and County Mayor before, but they did not put on such airs!
"I'm running a business. It's the same as running a business. Otherwise, why would the family have such a large expenditure? Let's not talk about other things. Just the annual expenditure of Four and Five, do you know how much it is? "
"You're such a muddled brain!" Li Zhaokun was anxious. He wanted to remind his son that as an official, how could he be short of money? But when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he felt that it was inappropriate.
"Alright, I understand what you're trying to say." Li He stood up and took out 20,000 RMB from his bag and stuffed it into Li Zhaokun's hand. "Go to sleep. You've drunk so much, and you don't feel good."
"Then, do you want to reconsider?" Li Zhaokun felt that his son must be muddled for a moment. It was a pity that his son did not want to be an official when he could be one. He weighed the money in his hand and felt that his words were not in vain.
Li He bolted the door and opened the window to let in some fresh air. A lot of insects rushed in. There were moths, mosquitoes, and many unknown insects circling under the light bulb. These insects did not bite and were pests in the fields.
When Li He just fell asleep, he heard his parents arguing in their room. It should be Wang Yulan wanting to take over the 20,000 RMB from Li Zhaokun.
He got out of bed again, took out 50,000 RMB from his bag, and sent it to the old couple's room. "Mom, go to sleep. This is for you, and that's for Dad. Let him keep it for himself."
Wang Yulan said, "I don't want your money. I don't want your father's hard-earned money. "
In her eyes, her son had worked hard. The whole family was counting on her son. How could her son not be tired? It was good enough that he could take care of his younger brother and sister.
Now that his mother-in-law and brother-in-law were by her son's side, she was even more dissatisfied. Since they were insensible and wanted to drag her son down, she couldn't be a burden to her son. She couldn't help her son, but she had to reduce his burden.
Li He smiled and said, "I'm not tired. It's been easy to earn money these two years. Take it, I'm going to sleep. "
It wasn't that he didn't want to explain some work matters to his parents, but it was because he didn't understand.
