Chapter 72: Do what you want to do

"Why can't you buy it?" Lu Yongguo didn't understand.

“Wouldn’t this make more money?”

"Are you making less money now?" Lu Wenqi was even more puzzled.

"Look around the village, who can make more money than you?"

"Why do you have to compare with people in the village? You haven't gone outside, you haven't seen those bosses in the south. They can do business worth millions. If I compare with them, what does my little money now mean?"

"Compared to those people, you are simply too ambitious.

You have just made some money, and you are thinking about buying a house and a car. Even if you want to buy a house, the family needs to live in it, but is it necessary to buy a car?

Oh, I spent 10,000 yuan to go out, my own salary is gone, and I pay wages to others. What if the business fails by then?

Keep this ten thousand yuan, it will be enough for you in this lifetime.

From my point of view, this sports car can make a living quickly, but it’s not like you used to have a stable job. Who knows when it will be gone?

You want to save some money while you can now, but if you spend it all, what will An An do in the future?

Besides, if you can really make money so much, why would I give you my car if I don’t want to drive it anymore?

Is it possible that pie can really fall from the sky?"

"After all, you still don't agree with what I did?" When Lu Yongguo said this, there was disappointment in his eyes.

"Do you think this is not an iron rice bowl? You were not optimistic about it from the beginning?"

Lu Yongguo stared at Lu Wenqi, but Lu Wenqi fell silent.

He took the wine glass at hand and took a sip.

"I……"

When he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

"I never understood what you were fussing over.

In the past, I wanted you to drive a sports car, but I wanted you to become a formal worker. I didn't think carefully about it and it didn't work out.

But later on, didn’t you become a security guard on your own?

What a great job…”

Lu Wenqi still feels regretful when he talks about it now.

"If you want to resign, fine, if you resign, I won't say anything to you.

But look, isn’t life good now? You have a house and children, but I don’t know what you are still struggling with?

People still have to keep their feet on the ground.

If you continue to think like this, every time you think about it, you will regret it after all the troubles you have now."

It turns out that what I did was just a thought in my father's eyes.

In one sentence, all his efforts over the years were negated.

There was silence for a long time.

After a long time, I heard Lu Yongguo's faint voice: "Okay, I understand."

Lu Yongguo said nothing. He took a sip of the wine at hand, got up and went upstairs. The rest of the people in the room were left in silence with their heads lowered.

Everyone knows Lu Yongguo. He has a dull temper, and neither great sadness nor joy will show on his face.

But it was obvious that he was really sad.

Wang Qiaoping pinched Lu Wenqi hard under the table.

Lu Wenqi: "What? What happened? What did I say wrong?"

Wang Qiaoping:……

There was nothing she could do against this pig teammate.

She just silently put out a bowl of sausage. After everyone had eaten, she silently went to the kitchen and ordered a bowl of noodles, putting the sausage on top.

At this time, Lu Yongguo had probably calmed down and was chopping firewood alone in the backyard.

Wang Qiaoping walked to the backyard with her noodles in hand.

"I just came back and started doing it again. Let's take a rest."

"After chopping this little bit, I don't know how many days I can stay at home. I have to leave as soon as I receive the job. Chopping the firewood will make it easier for you to use it."

"well……"

Wang Qiaoping sighed.

In this family, the eldest son is the most caring person.

Lu Yongguo has such a temper that he can't beat a fart with three sticks, but he can do more than anyone else.

Wang Qiaoping also knew that most of his son's temperament was due to Lu Wenqi.

He was the eldest in the family, and life was under great pressure at that time. He had to work and take care of three younger brothers, but Lu Wenqi was always like this, unable to say a good word.

Gradually, Lu Yongguo became dull.

"Eat the noodles." Wang Qiaoping put the noodles in Lu Yongguo's hands.

"so much?"

Lu Yongguo looked at a large bowl full of noodles and the meat on top.

"Forget it, I won't eat it. I'll save it for the kids at home."

He was like this, used to being humble, even if there was no shortage of food at home, he would habitually give up good things like flour and meat to others whenever he saw them.

"You are the strongest worker in the family, so it's your turn to eat." Wang Qiaoping couldn't help but put the noodles into Lu Yongguo's hands.

"You haven't even eaten two bites of dinner, and you have to do so much work. How can your body survive? If you collapse, what will happen to your family? What will happen to Yaqian and An An?"

Wang Qiaoping brought out his weaknesses.

Lu Yongguo didn't say anything. He held the noodles and sat on the stone mill nearby and began to eat.

That's how he eats, like a cow.

Wang Qiaoping looked at her son like this with a smile on her face.

"Don't blame your dad." He said.

Lu Yongguo looked up at his mother while eating.

"I don't blame him." He said.

"Mom knows you are not a grudge-bearing person."

Of course my son understands, has tolerance, and can bear the grievances. As a man, he is the eldest son in the family, so he swallows all the hardships and tiredness in his stomach.

He does the most things in the family, and he eats the worst in the family.

"Your father and I have never seen the world." Wang Qiaoping said.

"We, as a couple, have never left the village in our lives. We have been to the south and the outside world. We feel that having three meals a day is the best life.

Your father thought you were cool, so he went out to work and stood on the field bank, croaking for half an hour. Then he said that his son was promising and built a big house for his family and bought him a big front door.

In your father's eyes, Yongguo is extremely capable, and no one else can match him.

So he doesn't want you to change anymore.

The higher you go, the more scared he becomes.

I know what your father is thinking, if you go up there, he will be down there worrying about you."

Wang Qiaoping looked at the stars in the sky while talking.

She sighed.

"Yongguo, go ahead and do what you want."

When Lu Yongguo heard Wang Qiaoping's words, he paused in his eating of noodles.

"Mom...but dad..."

"Don't worry about your dad."

Wang Qiaoping frowned and interrupted Lu Yongguo's words.

"What does that old guy know? He can't do anything but only drags down his children and grandchildren.

Didn’t you say it? Now is the time of reform and opening up. If you want to make money, you have to make changes and catch up with the trend of the times.

Mom doesn't understand this, but you must have your reasons.

Then do it!

Your father is afraid, but your mother is not!

What's so scary? I still have one-third of an acre of land at home. At worst, I can just go back to farming. Is it possible that I could starve to death?

We didn’t starve to death before, can we still starve to death these days?”

Wang Qiaoping said and patted Lu Yongguo on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about your dad. If he says 'no' again, mom will kick him out."
