Chapter 263 Girls should be raised in wealth
When Li Ye drove back to Qingshui County, it was just getting dark.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I found two more cars parked, one was the familiar Beijing 130, and the other was a Volga with a Beijing license plate.
When Li Yue saw Volga, he smiled and asked Li Ye: "Is this someone from your sister Wen's house?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "No, it should belong to Jin Peng. He was busy listing the car the day I left, and he drove it back today for Ergou's wedding."
"Jin Peng has boarded the Volga?"
The eldest sister jumped out of the car and walked around the brand new Volga twice. The more she looked at it, the more envious, the more jealous, and the more resentful she felt.
Only after entering the house did Li Yue reluctantly say, "Xiao Ye, if I had resigned last year and followed you to Beijing, oh~"
Li Yue's sigh made Li Ye feel a little at a loss.
This elder sister had been very kind to him since he was a child. She washed his clothes and brushed his shoes, carried him across the river on her back in the winter, and caught shrimps together in the summer. They relied on each other and got through the most difficult years.
After joining the work, Li Yue only had a small salary and gave Li Ye five yuan every month. Although Li Ye had a bad temper and would throw a basin at the slightest disagreement, the blood relationship could never be severed.
When Li Ye gave the No. 26 Phoenix to Li Juan, Li Yue was very unhappy. Now all the good things have fallen to Jin Peng. It would be strange if she didn't feel resentful.
But she was just resentful, not complaining. Jin Peng was able to drive the Volga because Jin Peng helped Li Ye. Wasn't she the one who didn't have foresight and was the first to be blamed?
So Li Ye quickly promised Li Yue: "It's not too late for you to go to Beijing now. I will get you a Volga by next year at the latest."
"A promise is a promise, go back on your word, little dog!"
The resentful Li Yue seemed to have been waiting for Li Ye to say this, and answered almost immediately.
In Li Yue's heart, Jin Peng, that junior high school student, has only been younger than his younger brother for two years. If I, Li Yue, a high school student, cannot catch up with him in one year, my life would have been in vain!
But just as Li Yue finished speaking, he saw Li Kaijian coming out of the main room, standing on the steps of the main room and staring.
Li Kaijian started yelling at Li Ye: "Why don't you buy her a plane? Wouldn't it be better to let her fly directly into the sky?"
Apparently, the conversation between the brother and sister at the door was overheard by Li Kaijian in the main room.
Li Yue raised her eyebrows and glared at her father without fear. Even though Li Ye had been beaten on the buttocks by Li Kaijian since she was a child, she, as an eldest daughter, was not afraid of her father.
But Li Yue was only tough for a few seconds before he lost his temper because his grandmother Wu Juying also came out from the main room.
Wu Juying looked at Li Yue coldly: "What's the matter? You haven't even left the house yet! You dare to glare at your father? If you were given four wheels, would you really fly out and not recognize your father?"
Li Yue quickly lowered her head and said, "No, grandma, I didn't glare!"
Wu Juying sneered, "You haven't glared yet? Did I see those two light bulbs wrong? In my opinion, you should not go out. Just stay at home! If you go out, you will only cause trouble for Xiaoye."
Li Yue lowered his head, completely defeated.
If the usually kind grandma gets angry, even grandpa Li Zhongfa has to give in.
Li Yue glared at his father, but Li Kaijian didn't care. But when Li Yue glared at his grandmother's son, his grandmother was unhappy.
Li Ye quickly tried to smooth things over, "No, grandma, don't you know what my sister was like when she was little? She's not without sense of propriety."
"I haven't talked about you yet!" Wu Juying didn't wait for Li Ye to finish, she turned around and yelled at Li Ye: "Why do you give a girl a car? Look around Qingshui County, is there anyone more arrogant than your sister?
She changes her clothes every three days, and her shoes are almost filling up the bottom of her bed. She doesn't like this one and doesn't like that one. Our family has been poor for three generations, so are we going to have a bourgeois lady?"
“.”
Li Ye's head was full of black lines.
Since Pengcheng Factory No. 7 has the support of a design studio in Hong Kong, new clothing styles are produced every month. As long as Li Ye thinks it is suitable, he will arrange it for everyone in the family.
But actually there aren't many, each person only has five or six in total. Sister Li Yue has a little more, but only about eight or ten.
Even so, my grandmother, stepmother, and sister also let clothes gather dust in the closet most of the time. It really proves the saying "It doesn't matter if I wear it or not, as long as I have it."
Only her elder sister Li Yue changes her style from time to time, making the most of her regretless youth.
But now that it has fallen into Wu Juying's mouth, it has been taken to the extreme.
Li Ye felt that he should correct their backward ideas.
"Grandma, in fact, as long as the family is capable, it is better for girls to be raised in wealth. Being knowledgeable and experienced is not limited to men.
It is good for girls to have more experience. They will not be greedy for anything and will not be fooled by those bad boys with a few tricks.
For example, you and grandpa have accumulated a lifetime of insight into people. Can't you tell whether a child is a bad kid or a good kid at a glance? Then you have to teach us these skills too."
"Your sister is as smart as a monkey. Who can fool her with such a small trick?"
Wu Juying's eyes softened a little after receiving Li Ye's compliment, but she still asked in confusion, "Girls should be raised in wealth? Why didn't you say that girls should be raised in wealth when your sister was staring at you while you were scrambling to eat meat?"
"She has only had a few days of full meals! She is already thinking of abusing her power. If you give her a car today, will you give her a maid tomorrow?"
“.”
Li Ye twisted his face and said with a wry smile: "Grandma, when I say raising someone in wealth, I don't mean spoiling them. You can't look down on others just because you have better conditions. We are all equal!
Moreover, as our horizons have been broadened, we need to strengthen our ideological education. Grandma, you and Grandpa are experts in education, and we will have to rely on you and Grandpa to take care of it in the future."
Li Yue: “.”
She wanted to kick Li Ye. He said such nice things at the beginning, why did he go back on his word later?
Given the noble consciousness of my grandparents, shouldn’t the ideological education have penetrated deeply into their bones?
Li Juan and Li Ying, who had been hiding aside and dared not look up like groundhogs, felt mixed emotions.
The good news is that I can probably take out a few of those beautiful new clothes in the closet and wear them.
What worries me is that grandma’s ideological education is really hard to bear! Even the grandfather with a red heart has a headache after hearing this, let alone these two step-granddaughters?
"Ahem~"
The grandfather in the main room coughed and walked out, followed by Jin Peng and Hao Jian.
Li Zhongfa said unhappily, "Jin Peng and his friends came to see you, but you left them at home and went out to hang out. What kind of talk is that?"
Li Ye chuckled and said, "I didn't go out for fun. I just saw the new car and felt itchy, so I went out for a spin."
Li Zhongfa stared at Li Ye and said, "Okay, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you two can chat now!"
"Hey~, let's go to Ergou's house and see if there's anything we can help with."
Li Ye agreed with a smile, called Jin Peng and Hao Jian and left the house again.
After going out, Jin Peng got into the driver's seat of the Crown and drove Li Ye and Hao Jian to Ergou's house, while the Beijing 130 followed behind.
After getting in the car, Hao Jian smiled and said to Li Ye: "You, Cuicui's godfather, said it very well. Girls really need to be raised in wealth.
Cuicui used to be reluctant to attend the Yuhong class because she was always looked down upon by others who thought she was rustic. Gradually, Cuicui realized that others were not that great either. Now, she is no longer afraid of strangers and has made several friends."
If there is someone in this era who "raises his daughter in wealth", Hao Jian is definitely one of them. Hao Cuicui is truly his sweetheart and he gives her whatever she wants.
However, Li Ye shook his head and said, "It's not just about material wealth. We must teach them some principles from a young age."
"I've seen many girls in Beijing being fascinated by the so-called 'romance', but girls with broad vision can remain unmoved.
That’s why I think girls should learn more and gain more knowledge, but they should never forget their roots or lose their kind nature.”
Hao Jian nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, girls need to have vision and more importantly, kindness. This kindness is very important."
Hao Jian and Li Ye discussed the issue of "little cotton-padded jacket" for a long time, but Jin Peng remained silent.
Li Ye felt a little strange and asked him if he was worried about something.
Jin Peng said sullenly, "Xiao Ye, the bad kid you just mentioned, who was fooled by a few trivial things, wasn't he talking about me?"
“.”
“Hahahahaha~”
Li Ye and Hao Jian both laughed out loud.
The reason why Jin Peng has his current wife is that he used his connections at the clothing factory to buy her a job and then got her married.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Jin Peng felt that he had become the "bad boy" in Li Ye's mouth.
Li Ye laughed for a long time before he suppressed his laughter and said, "You have to listen to both sides of this. Do you understand? Understand the specific meaning and figure it out yourself."
“Cough cough cough cough~”
Hao Jian was choked by the smoke and quickly opened the car window and threw the cigarette out.
Jin Peng also laughed to himself, rubbed his scalp embarrassedly, and then patted the steering wheel to change the subject: "This car is really nice, Lao Hao, are you really willing to give it to the Beijing office?"
Hao Jian sighed and said, "If you don't want it, I'll take it back. You can just drive your Volga."
"You wishful thinking," Jin Peng shook his head and laughed, "Plans are really not as fast as changes. I begged and pleaded in Beijing and finally got a Volga. I felt very proud of it, but you got two Crowns at once."
Hao Jian smiled and said, "I didn't intend to get two. Guo Donglun gave me one in March and I was already satisfied. But this time, we were given a quota for foreign trade. I thought you also needed a reputation in Beijing, so I bought it on my own initiative."
After saying this, Hao Jian looked at Li Ye carefully.
Guo Donglun kept his word. After meeting Li Ye in Beijing, he really gave Hao Jian a Crown.
So Hao Jian no longer had a shortage of cars to drive, but this time he couldn't help himself and spent money to buy this second Crown.
These were all purchased with foreign currency, so I feel bad about it, but I'm afraid Li Ye will say he's extravagant.
Li Ye waved his hand and said, "You don't have to look at me. I don't have the time to care about these trivial matters. I have extra money in my hand, so it's only right that I talk about face."
Hao Jian immediately said, "That's right, our export volume in the past few months has exceeded the quota again and again. The US dollars allocated to us alone are almost 1.7 million.
I was afraid that the foreign trader would go back on his word, but in the end, they kept their word and didn’t lose a cent from us.”
Li Ye nodded slowly: "The business environment in Pengcheng is very good, but once you get used to it, don't take it for granted that it's the same in other places. You should adapt to local customs and make adjustments according to local conditions."
"I understand. We have more than 30 outsourced processing factories. I know the difference between them. Special Zones are the places that get rich first. Later, other places will also get rich."
Hao Jian was deeply touched by Li Ye's words. The business environment in Pengcheng really made him feel comfortable.
But what he didn't know was that even decades later, this gap had not completely disappeared.
Many people who got rich outside wanted to come back to benefit their hometown, but eventually returned to Shenzhen due to various discomforts.
