Because of the surname "Li".
This gave the young Li Taihang the illusion that the world was in chaos and the princes were standing side by side, and that the old Li family was the orthodox one.
So I named my two sons "Jianye" and "Jianguo".
The meaning is concise and concise.
I just thought that after I achieved great things, one of my two sons would be successful in his career, and the other would be able to govern the country well.
What a pity.
Li Taixing has ideas, but is unable to put them into action.
I have lived for more than eighty years.
The time span spans almost two dynasties. Not only has he achieved nothing, but he has also been extremely persistent in being poor. From 1938 to now, he has been poor for more than eighty years. If he has to say that he has made any achievements, he probably only built what Li Mu remembers.
Three tile-roofed houses.
But poverty will lead to poverty.
Li Taihang is poor and very healthy.
Unlike many old people of his age who often get sick, his body has always been strong, and he can still fight off the occasional cold by relying on his physical fitness.
Such a poor method is worthy of the envy of many people.
After all, poverty is just a state of life, and health is a posture.
Without health, a wealthy existence has no meaning.
Having probably understood all this, Grandpa Li Mu has lived a very regular life for so many years. He goes to bed early and gets up early, never stays up late, and occasionally plays the erhu to cheer himself up.
I have no future.
So he placed his hopes on his two sons.
Li Mu heard from his father, Li Jianguo, that his grandfather had always asked him and Li Jianye to study hard and become officials in the future.
According to Li Mu’s guess.
His grandfather should have adopted a roundabout tactic.
Let the two sons infiltrate the other party first, and when the time is right, immediately take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to make a huge reversal, thereby achieving some goals that are not humane.
It’s just that Li Taixing never expected it.
He has no future.
The two sons I gave birth to have no future.
Not to mention becoming officials, the two brothers fell flat on their backs before they even entered college and came back early to inherit his impoverished family business.
It doesn’t matter if you insist on inheriting.
However, the eldest son's unpromising ability is far worse than that of Li Taixing, to the extent that he is better than his master.
He went out to work, and instead of getting a golden job, he actually got a soft job. He got together with a divorced woman who was three years older than him and had a child. The younger son's ability to make a living was a little less than that, but he and Li Taihang
When compared with this guy, I was still much better. After being knocked down by the stumbling block in the college entrance examination, I immediately lost confidence and did not dare to repeat the exam for another year.
The horn sounded when the tide hit the sea.
His youngest son also went to the sea, originally intending to honor his ancestors, but just encountered a small wind and waves, which immediately swept him back from the field.
After that, no matter what he said, he would not go out and just take root in Ningyang City, marry a wife and have children.
However, compared to the eldest son's lack of potential, the younger son's lack of potential is still within the acceptable range of Grandpa Li Mu.
The reason is simple.
Li Jianguo does not have a soft job, and the wife he married is not divorced and has children.
Compare the two.
The little son's well-behaved and sensible nature was immediately highlighted.
Naturally, Li Taixing's hatred of iron at the beginning gradually turned into love. Correspondingly, his dislike for his eldest son became more and more obvious.
So many years.
No matter how Li Jianye tried to persuade him, even if he knelt on the ground and begged, he would not stay at his house for a few days.
Probably in Li Taihang's eyes.
The eldest son only serves soft food. Although he is old, his teeth are still good and he cannot eat the soft food served by the eldest son.
Heard the conversation between his eldest son and his grandson.
Li Taihang, who was passing by with picked beans in his hand, paused, then turned and looked at Li Jianye.
The old man's hair is gray.
But his eyes are sharp and there is an indescribable majesty.
"Dad"
Li Jianye laughed twice and quickly explained, "Don't worry, I promise not to let your grandson become my son-in-law. If he dares to do it, I will break his legs immediately and never let him embarrass our old Li family."
Tell the truth.
Even though Li Jianye is already in his early sixties, he is still very afraid of me.
Maybe it’s not fear.
It should be more about the guilt caused by his father having a problem with him and not communicating with him much after so many years since he married Aunt Li Mu despite his family's objections.
Usually, if he doesn't call back, his father will never take the initiative to call his eldest son.
The old man is very stubborn.
She has always been worried about his marriage to Aunt Li Mu.
In fact, he has been working hard to repair the relationship with his father over the years, but once the old man becomes stubborn, time cannot change it.
"Great Grandpa"
Li Ran trotted up to Li Taihang, opened his basket and looked inside. Seeing only beans, he raised his head and asked, "Why didn't you pick peaches!?"
"Haha"
Li Taixing no longer looked at his eldest son's cold expression, and a kind smile instantly appeared on his face. He reached out and rubbed Ran Ran's head and said, "Let's go, Grandpa will take you to pick it now."
"And me"
Su Xiaoxiao took Xiao Siming and followed immediately.
"They all say that the younger son is the older grandson. This is true."
Li Jianye lit a cigarette and said depressedly, "Li Mu, your grandpa gave birth to me and your dad, but he only had your dad in his eyes. I gave birth to Li Ye, and your dad gave birth to you, but your grandpa loves you the most. Now
In the fourth generation, your grandpa still likes your son the most. Do you think your uncle is so unlikable!?"
Li Jianye touched his face with the fingers holding the cigarette and said, "No, in terms of appearance, I am much more handsome than your dad. Many people say that I look very similar to your grandpa when he was young."
Li Mu smiled and did not express any opinion.
It's normal for his grandfather not to like his uncle. As the eldest son of the family, instead of starting a family at home, he went out to marry a divorced woman with children. Especially in the 1980s and 1990s when the thinking was still relatively traditional, this was undoubtedly a blow to Li Mu's grandparents.
His face makes others mistakenly think that his family is so poor that even his son cannot get a first-marriage wife.
Don’t talk about that era.
Even now, Li Mu would not accept his only son doing such a thing.
If there is one more.
That's a different story.
He can do whatever he likes, whether he marries a wife or is married off by his wife, it doesn't matter.
After chatting with his uncle for a while, Li Mu and Teacher Zhou walked into the courtyard.
"Aunt"
Seeing Xu Wan who was busy, Li Mu called out quickly, and then introduced him to Teacher Zhou.
The main purpose today is to let Teacher Zhou get to know his relatives.
Correspondingly.
Teacher Zhou’s immediate family members were also allowed to get to know Li Mu, and the two families got together once to facilitate future interactions and to allow relatives on both sides to get to know their partners.
It is different from the rural woman image of Li Mu’s mother.
Aunt Li Mu looks very fashionable and well-maintained. She is in her sixties and looks younger than Xu Mei. She also has a good personality. She is not the kind of person who likes to put on airs. Knowing that relatives of Li Mu's wife are coming today,
So an hour and a half before Li Mu came back, he had already rushed back to help.
"Just now your grandma praised your daughter-in-law for being beautiful"
Xu Wan smiled and said, "Looking at it now, it is indeed very beautiful. Just this pelvis. If you two have another baby, it will definitely be a son."
"..."
For a while.
Li Mu and Teacher Zhou were embarrassed.
Look at the face first when looking at a person.
Then look at the pelvis.
