Chinese people are famous for joining in the fun. One of them is a town official, and the other two are young but have extraordinary temperament. This naturally makes many villagers curious.
It didn't take long for some people to gather around Li Jianhui and the other three. They each greeted Liu Wenjie warmly and did not forget to ask about Li Jianhui and Li Jianhui's situation.
When I learned that they were Li Minglin's son and daughter-in-law, I greeted them warmly and introduced myself to them.
Different from yesterday, Li Jianhui has a very high seniority in Shiqiao Village. Those who are the same age as him and those younger than him are basically his juniors. Only the middle-aged and elderly people in their forties and fifties and above have his peers and even elders.
Especially for the children who arrived, when Chen Xinyi took out the candies she brought back and distributed them to them, they shouted "aunt and grandmother" very smoothly.
It was past eleven o'clock and the weather was already quite hot. Li Xiuli and her husband had not come back yet, which made Li Jianhui very puzzled.
You must know that Liu Xiaojuan gave Li Xiuli a sum of money when she came back, and Li Jianhui gave her another 20,000 yuan when he came back from Xiangjiang last year.
To put it bluntly, Li Xiuli is wealthier than most people in the village, so how can she still work so hard on the farm?
Li Jianhui asked an old man who was nearly seventy years old: "Third uncle, has my second aunt's family always been like this?"
"Since the land was contracted to each household the year before last, everyone hopes to be able to plant more varieties, and everyone is working harder. But now that June has arrived, everyone will go home to rest when the sun is shining, so they must not have finished their work.
But he suffered from heat stroke.
The second sister's family is in relatively good conditions. Several of her children are city workers. In addition, after your mother came back the year before last, she gave her family some money to build this new house.
Last year, Ermei's family started to grow some vegetables, and the land was given to several brothers from the Zhou family.
I just don’t know what happened at the end of last year. This year, the two younger sisters took back their own land, and their daily work is even harder than the rest of us.”
One of the women, who was in her fifties, answered: "Third brother, what do you mean by not knowing what happened? Isn't it just those unfilial people?
Especially the family of Zhou Fenqiang, the eldest son of the second sister, knew that Jianhui had given the second sister a lot of money, so they lent the money in the name of doing business, and also brought the two sisters to the city, saying that they would provide for them in their old age.
As a result, the business didn't take off, and the second sister and the other two were looking down on her every day, so that bitch didn't return to the village, otherwise we wouldn't take care of him.
I used to think that Zhou Fenqiang was just ungrateful to other people, but I didn't expect that he would be the same to his own parents.
You have been living in Xiangjiang and you don’t know that Zhou Fengqiang was able to enter the No. 2 Silk Factory and become a city man because of your aunt. Later, when your aunt and uncle were criticized, he not only drew a clear line with your aunt and uncle,
And he danced the most fiercely.”
"Suhua, what are you talking about? This is a family matter. Why are you talking about this? It's already noon. My granddaughter will be out of school soon. Why don't you go back and cook."
"Li Mingjin, why are you yelling? Isn't what I said the truth? You asked me to cook for one day, but you didn't do it yourself."
Although I didn't quite agree with this aunt's character, I remembered what she said.
No wonder, no matter when chatting with Wu Qiongying in Yuzhou or Guocheng, this Wu Qiongying never mentioned the second aunt's family, and did not expect that there would be such a dispute.
Li Jianhui also heard how his aunt died. In that era, the life of intellectuals could be said to be miserable, especially those who were at the forefront. Those who could survive were those with extremely strong hearts.
, such as that uncle.
It seems that I will be more cautious in supporting my second aunt and even my uncle's family in the future. Although he is not short of money, he will never give money to ungrateful people.
He could fully imagine how many favors his aunt had to use to help Zhou Fenqiang enter the No. 2 Silk Factory in the 1950s. After all, it was extremely difficult to move from the countryside to the city and obtain an urban household registration at that time.
But even with such a great favor, since the other party still adds insult to injury, it is not an exaggeration to call him a beast.
Liu Wenjie on the side knew very well that the reason why Li Jianhui made a large amount of donations to his hometown was mainly because his ancestors grew up here and that family affection.
If Li Jianhui thinks that the people in his hometown are ungrateful people, it will be a big problem, and it will be difficult to get assistance from Li Jianhui.
He quickly spoke out: "Jianhui, Zhou Fenqiang is just an example. Most of our people in Shiqiao Village and even Taiping Commune are honest, and everyone is a person who knows how to repay kindness.
If you and Mrs. Li have time, you can go to these village schools and see that the children have not forgotten your help."
The people present also realized at this time that although Li Jianhui was from their tribe, he was also a wealthy man.
If nothing else, it is all thanks to Li Jianhui that my children or grandchildren can study in such a good classroom.
If Li Jianhui has a bad opinion of the village because of this, he is afraid that he will no longer take care of the village in the future.
At this time, everyone was not in the mood to watch the excitement before, and they all said nice things. Some thanked Li Jianhui for building a new school in the village, while others said that what Zhou Suhua said was just a rumor, and no one knew the facts.
"You don't have to be like this. Although I have not lived in the village since I was a child, my father, grandfather and even my ancestors are here. I will not affect my feelings for the village because of some individuals.
I am here to tell you some good news. I have communicated with the top officials in the region and will donate 200 million yuan to build a road from the urban area through the commune to our village. The minimum standard will be built according to the national highway. When the time comes, everyone will go to work or enter.
The city is much more convenient.
In addition, I will increase investment in village primary schools and build a school covering all grades of primary school so that all our school-age children can go to school in a timely manner.
In addition, the school has established a cafeteria so that children can eat at school at noon, and meat is provided at noon every day to ensure the nutrition of the children."
An old man with the highest seniority present said excitedly: "Jianhui, on behalf of all the villagers in our Shiqiao Village, I would like to thank you. We can't do more. Please rest assured that as long as our Shiqiao Li family is still here, your father's tomb will be preserved."
There won’t be anyone to take care of the memorial service.”
Other villagers also continued to express their gratitude to Li Jianhui. In this era, being able to eat meat every day is simply unimaginable for rural people.
Who doesn’t have children in school, and who doesn’t want their children to be well fed and clothed? However, with the current economy, it is already very difficult to keep children fed and clothed.
"You don't need to do this. It's just a little effort for me. I also sincerely hope that more and more capable people will emerge in our Shiqiao Village and build our Shiqiao Village into a nationally renowned village in the entire region and even the province."
