Lin Shanshan wasn't exaggerating; she had seen it in short videos while she was in the underworld.
There was a very poor country that, after receiving tens of millions of dollars in donations, did not strive to improve itself and use the resources to build up its country; instead, it became even poorer.
The people there even think that as long as they remain poor, people will keep donating, and they can just lie back and relax.
Li Duomei understood immediately. Indeed, as the saying goes, "a small favor is appreciated, but a large favor is resented." If you give too much, they will not only not be grateful, but will also want more.
“My wife is right.” Gu Yiye came to pick up Lin Shanshan from get off work and happened to hear what she said.
"The villagers themselves find ways to pay the teachers' salaries or provide them with food. Only when they make sacrifices will they cherish the children's learning opportunities and urge the children to study hard."
Gu Yiye has been studying with the professor for some time now, and he can now speak eloquently and logically.
Lin Shanshan handed over her cup and said gently, "Aye, have some hot tea."
"Okay." Gu Yiye took his wife's cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Pregnant women shouldn't drink tea, so Lin Shanshan brewed fruit tea without sugar, using spring water that was sweet but not cloying, which Gu Yiye really liked.
It was time to leave work. Zhang Wei pulled Li Duomei aside and said goodbye to Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan: "Old platoon leader, sister-in-law, I'm taking Duomei home for dinner, so I'll be leaving now."
"Yes, it's snowing, the roads are slippery, drive slowly," Gu Yiye instructed.
Okay.
After Zhang Wei left, Gu Yiye hugged Lin Shanshan, kissed her smooth and full forehead, and said, "Wife, Grandpa gave me a few knife fish. I'll make you Jade Shattered Three Elixir to eat."
The knife fish, shad, and pufferfish are known as the "Three Delicacies of the Yangtze River." Lin Shanshan often has the opportunity to eat shad, but knife fish is rare, so it must have been specially arranged by her grandfather.
Lin Shanshan looked up at Gu Yiye: "Did you thank Grandpa?"
Gu Yiye gently pinched Lin Shanshan's small nose and said, "No need to thank me, we're family. Grandpa is just getting something good for his granddaughter-in-law, no need to thank me."
"Honey, we haven't seen Mom and Dad for almost half a month. How about we go to their house for dinner today? I'll cook, and Mom and Dad both say my cooking is delicious."
Lin Shanshan looked at Gu Yiye seriously and asked, "Honey, is there something you want to tell me?"
Gu Yiye didn't speak. He did have something to say, but he didn't know how to bring it up. He wondered how his wife knew.
Lin Shanshan said, "If there's nothing wrong, you know I like to eat fish, especially ribbonfish and shad, so you would definitely cook it for me in the dorm so I can eat it quickly. Today, you went to all this way. Is there something you're worried about? Are you afraid that if you tell me, I won't agree, and you'll ask my parents to persuade me?"
Gu Yiye nodded, then quickly shook his head: "No, it's not that I want Mom and Dad to persuade you, it's that I want them to take better care of you."
Lin Shanshan said, "Since Gan Haixiu was discharged from the hospital safely last month, there have been many people waiting to have my dad's heart transplant surgery. Some of them are relatives of foreign heads of state. My mom, as the head nurse of the hospital, is also very busy. How can she have time to take care of me?"
Not only did Mr. and Mrs. Lin not have time, but Professor Tong and the professors from the Department of Bioengineering have also been working non-stop for several days.
Fortunately, Professor Tong developed a substitute for the spiritual spring water. The professors in their bioengineering department, including Professor Tong himself, take one every day. Otherwise, Lin Shanshan was really afraid that they would die suddenly from the high intensity of their work.
Lin Shanshan said, "I'm not going to my parents' place today. They're too busy and probably haven't gotten off work yet. Even if they have, I want them to get some rest."
Gu Yiye hesitated, then Lin Shanshan asked, "Besides having my parents take care of me, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Gu Yiye nodded, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He simply couldn't bring himself to tell his pregnant wife the truth!
