"That's what I say, but I just don't feel comfortable with it."
Whether you're comfortable or not is none of anyone else's business! Haven't you noticed? Ever since your eldest son's two grandsons got married, they've been spending less and less time talking to you.
"I'm just thinking that it's not easy for my child to get married, so I have to dress up properly."
"Yes, the outfit is fine, but didn't you consider the family's financial situation? Isn't it still the eldest son and his wife who are paying for it?"
"What's the point of talking about this now? It's all in the past."
Besides, it wasn't done according to my wishes in the first place! It was just a simple wedding ceremony.
"If things really go as you say, I'm afraid the boss won't be far from going in, you know?"
"I didn't know before? Now I do."
"Now that you know, don't interfere in your child's future marriages, or our Shen family will be targeted."
Now that the eldest son is nearing retirement, it seems that for the next ten years or so, the third and fourth sons will be in charge of making decisions about the family affairs.
No one in the Shen family is insignificant in Beijing, but we are no less than ordinary people.
Since his injury, his eldest grandson Zhengze has been teaching at a military academy. He can only be a teacher and won't be able to play a significant role.
Although the eldest son's two grandsons also work in the military, among the children of this generation who are capable and can support the Shen family, Junde is probably the only one.
If you truly care about all your grandchildren, then you should stop interfering with them.
"But with their parents' situation, when will the remaining children be able to get married?"
"We can only ask a few questions from time to time, but we can't make decisions on our own, or arrange for the girl you like to be given to that grandson directly. You know, sometimes that can backfire."
"I understand. I won't get involved in these things anymore. I'd rather spend my time taking care of my great-grandson."
"OK"
However, you can probably only watch; they probably won't agree to take care of the child, for fear that you'll spoil them.
"Chairman Li, this is all the relevant information available so far!"
"Okay, put it here! I'll take a closer look later!"
"yes"
Looking at the stacks of documents on the table, there were quite a lot.
Fortunately, I own shares in the security company, so I should be able to use the dividends from those shares to ask them to investigate each of us.
However, it's best to do this one region at a time, and we need to be careful.
The subsidy is not available to everyone; it is only for those who are struggling financially.
However, it's good to learn more about that era; after all, we should do more for future generations.
Life is not just about making money; you can also do more meaningful things.
And now that I have the ability, why not do it?
In my previous life, I wanted to learn more about this situation, but I had no money or status back then. Now that I have everything, I might as well do it.
As for other matters, it's not that we're completely ignoring them now; it's just that the focus is different.
Money can never be fully earned, so why spend your whole life on it?
Another thought is that I'm hoping to have the chance to return to my hometown from my previous life.
I wonder if my parents from my past life are there. If they are, I should at least take care of them and restore the bond between my parents.
If not, then let's pretend nothing happened. But I remember that place was very underdeveloped, so if there's an opportunity, I might invest in it; I should at least offer some assistance.
People have many things they want to do in their lives. But they can only do a few successfully.
Just keep striving, do as much as you can.
"Mr. Li, it's getting late. Would you like to leave work? I'll call your driver."
Let's go!
"yes"
"Old man, what time is it? Why aren't they all back yet?"
"It's only 9 o'clock, what's the rush? Don't you know that young people's nightlife is just beginning?"
Besides, the third brother's unit is currently very busy, and his family's charity work has just begun; they're all still figuring things out slowly, so there's no time to relax!
"Aren't there professionals here?"
"Are professionals really trustworthy? Besides, how can you know where the money is going if you don't do it yourself? You have to understand that the money invested in your child is not a small amount."
We should do our best to ensure quality control. Besides, being able to help them is a kind of happiness.
It's difficult to do good deeds, and even more difficult to do good deeds your whole life!
"I know, that's the kind of thing it is! To be honest, I'm afraid it'll be a thankless task!"
"What can we do? People are all driven by desires and wants. Besides, it's impossible to please everyone. Just do what you think is right, why care about what others think?"
If they really cared about what others thought, would the third son's family have built such a large business?
"She really doesn't care, otherwise she wouldn't be so heartless. I'm one of them..."
"Alright, let's not bring up the past anymore. Otherwise, not only will you feel resentful, but the child will also feel uncomfortable."
"snort"
"Tell me, you old woman, how come you seem to get more and more energetic as you get older?"
Why are you throwing a tantrum over a mere disagreement? We haven't even said anything yet! Why are you getting angry? We really don't dare offend you!
"Why are you only getting back now? Have you eaten?"
"You've eaten. What about you? Are you alright coming back so late? Don't you have to work this morning?"
"No need. Things have been going on lately, and besides, I can't just keep thinking about being busy. I need to rest a bit."
"That's true. By the way, I actually have something I wanted to tell you!"
"you say?"
“I plan to go and see those people in person to see what they specifically need. We need to make a new plan; it’s not enough to just provide material assistance. I recently read a report about post-traumatic stress disorder, and I’d like to learn more about that.”
"I know a bit about what you're talking about. There are veterans like that in some military retirement homes. They don't remember anything except some things from their work!"
"I think if there are many veterans like this, and their families really can't take care of them, I want to make a special plan to take care of them together."
“Okay, after all, our country is limited in this area, so it’s good to have someone specifically take care of them.”
By the way, when are you leaving, and where will you start?
"Recently, I'll go back and make some arrangements first, and then start from Beijing and gradually expand outwards. After all, this is just the beginning, and we're still figuring things out as we go."
