Chapter 1478 Okay, Show Me Your Pride

"Yan Qingyou accompanied me. During his vacation, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and a father. He treated me better than other men treated their wives. He handed all his salary and allowances to me from the beginning, so that I didn't have to worry about money. He also took care of all the housework. Dad, Yan Qingyou is a good husband and a good father. Don't misunderstand him!"

After listening to Jiang Li, Jiang Boya said unhappily: "Just protect him!"

"I still spoil him!"

Jiang Li laughed.

"Okay, okay, if you want to spoil him, then spoil him. If you want to protect him, then protect him. I'm meddling in other people's business. I'll pretend to be deaf and dumb in the future. You can do whatever you want." Jiang Boya pretended to be unhappy. In Jiang Li's eyes, he looked like a child. She couldn't help laughing again: "Is Dad angry?" She asked deliberately.

"No."

Jiang Boya blurted out.

"Really?"

Jiang Li moved to sit next to Jiang Boya, took his arm and said: "I know you are doing this for my own good, but you know what Yan Qing is like, right, Dad?"

Jiang Boya snorted and turned his head away, indicating that he was not paying attention.

"You might as well think back, is Yan Qing particularly filial? Whether it is to you and grandfather, or to my parents, he has never been unfilial as long as he is with you for many years. In addition, you should have seen how Yan Qing pampers me, eaten the meals cooked by Yan Qing, and seen Yan Qing wash my clothes and clean the house at home, right?"

Jiang Li said with a smile. Hearing this, Jiang Boya glared at her: "You are coaxing a child!"

"No, no, absolutely not. Although you are in your seventies, you are still handsome and upright. In my eyes, you are a A strong and handsome uncle has nothing to do with children! "

With a smile in his eyes, Jiang Li said slowly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Boya looked at him and gritted his teeth: "You said you were not coaxing a child. Think about the tone you used when you spoke to me just now. If you continue to coax me, I am afraid I will really become the old child you are talking about in your heart."

Jiang Li held back his laughter and pretended to be serious: "Unfair! Dad, you really wronged me. I can swear that I have never said in my heart that you are an old child. Please believe me, my dearest and most beloved father!"

In fact, it was not only Jiang Li who was holding back his laughter at this time, but also Jiang Boya.

Luo Yanqing was also holding back his laughter.

Jiang Boya couldn't help laughing: "Just be funny!"

"Did I?"

Jiang Li looked innocent: "I'm telling the truth!"

Luo Yanqing assisted: "Dad, Xiao Li never lies, I believe what she says."

"You are a couple, you believe her, as for me, you have to think about it carefully to make sure if I am really the most beloved father in her mouth."

Jiang Boya stood up and said: "Okay, you go back to your room and get ready, I'll go to the study for a while."

"Okay."

Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing nodded at the same time, watching Jiang Boya leave, and the two walked towards the courtyard where they lived in the old house.

...

The seasons alternated, and two years passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Li handed JL to his youngest son Mingxiu a month ago, and handed over all the hotels under Yu's to Mingxiu for management.

And she was dedicated to accompanying Captain Jiang and his wife and Jiang Boya.

Because they were her closest relatives and elders who loved her.

Yu, with the mental state of the three people allowed, Jiang Li made a series of travel plans, and she arranged each plan thoughtfully and considerately, taking the three elders out for travel.

Of course, there are bodyguards, assistants, and family doctors accompanying them.

Don't worry about anything, there are special people to receive you wherever you go.

In this way, Jiang Li took Captain Jiang and his wife and Jiang Boya to visit famous tourist cities with pleasant climates abroad in three years, and also visited several famous scenic spots in China.

That day, after viewing the Guilin landscape, Jiang Li and his party returned to the hotel operated by Yu in this city. Before resting at night, Cai Xiufen said to Jiang Li: "Li Bao, your father wants to go back to his hometown to see and stay there for a while. Otherwise, we won't go to the next city you mentioned. What do you think?"

"Okay."

Jiang Li nodded happily.

Her purpose of taking the elders out for fun was nothing more than to make the three old people happy. Since her parents wanted to go back to their hometown, then let them go. I think Mr. Jiang Boya, her biological father, would not have any objections.

"Then it's settled. Go to bed early."

Cai Xiufen said, and returned to the luxurious guest room where she and Captain Jiang lived.

Jiang Li came to the guest room where Jiang Boya lived.

"Do you have something to tell Dad?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Boya opened the door of the guest room and saw Jiang Li standing outside, and couldn't help asking.

"Yeah."

Jiang Li nodded.

Jiang Boya: "Come in and sit down."

Jiang Li said "Oh".

"Is there a change of plan?"

Closing the door of the guest room, Jiang Boya sat on the sofa, and his eyes full of warmth fell on Jiang Li.

"My parents want to go back to their hometown to have a look, and they plan to live there for a while."

Jiang Li stated the purpose of his coming.

"I'm not going to the next city that was originally planned."

Jiang Boya used a declarative sentence.

"Yeah."

Jiang Li nodded, and then asked Jiang Boya what he thought: "Dad, do you have any ideas?"

"Dad will go wherever you are, is there any need to ask?"

Jiang Boya shook his head and said, "I haven't been to Aoli Village for several years. It's time to go there to see it and live there for a while."

"Then we have to agree in advance that you must live with me and my parents, and you can't live in the villa where you and your grandfather lived." Hearing what Jiang Li said, Jiang Boya's expression didn't look strange. , he said: "I don't live in it, but the people around me must live in it. Don't forget to ask people to clean the villa and prepare all daily necessities."

"Don't worry, I will take care of these arrangements."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, and then said: "My hometown has developed faster than before in the past few years. Everywhere I go there are picturesque scenery. If you go to live there, you might not want to leave!"

"If you don't want to leave, just stay longer. It's not a big deal."

Jiang Boya said: "You have invested a lot of construction funds in your hometown over the years."

“But the rewards I get are just as great.”

Jiang Li responded with a smile.

"Compared to your devotion, it pales into insignificance."

Jiang Boya threw out a sentence.

"From the very beginning when I invested money, I never thought about how much I would get in return. I just hoped that the people in my hometown could live a better life and that I could do something practical for my hometown!"

Jiang Li's tone was indifferent. After hearing this, Jiang Boya said: "Dad knows that you have not forgotten your original intention and you have done a good job. Dad is very happy!" Under the influence of his precious daughter, he has also invested a lot of money in construction in China in recent years. , and do a lot of charity and public welfare.

As his old man often said when he was still alive, although the Jiang family is following a business path, they must not forget the principle of "taking from the people and using it for the people." Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Jiang Group to continue on its path.

During those years overseas, he once asked the old man if he ever regretted that he had donated a lot of family property to the country and the people. What he got was a sonorous and powerful answer from the old man: "No"!

What's there to regret?

If there is no national stability and no public consumption, where will their wealth come from?

When the country is in need, don’t donate part of it as a matter of course?

There is no doubt that the old man's heart is red.

Otherwise, I would not regret meeting someone like Mr. Xi and becoming a close friend who talks about everything.

Jiang Li was a little embarrassed by Jiang Boya's words. She moved the corner of her mouth and said, "I just did what I wanted to do and what I should do. This is just a small thing. Don't praise me, otherwise, I will be proud." !”

"Okay, show me how proud you are."

There was a hint of joking in Jiang Boya's eyes: "As early as when Dad and you met, Dad knew that you were a calm and elegant girl. I have never seen the slightest trace of pride in you."

"You didn't see that maybe I was pretending well."

Jiang Li laughed and laughed at himself.

"Really? Then you are so perfectly disguised!"

Jiang Boya smiled helplessly.

When Jiang Li saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.

The father and daughter chatted for another ten minutes before Jiang Li stood up to say goodbye and returned to her own guest room.

…

Aoli Village.

It's April now, and the spring flowers are blooming. Just as Jiang Li said, as soon as the car drove into the county where Jiang Li's hometown is located, every place he looked around was a beautiful scroll of flowers.

There are green mountains and green waters, blooming flowers, and the faint fragrance of flowers floats in the air. On the wide road, many of the vehicles passing by are from out of town. Some pedestrians on the roadside hold cameras in their hands, and some directly hold their mobile phones, stopping to take pictures from time to time. , it is not difficult to see that nine out of ten of them are tourists.

The peach blossom forest is like a sea of ​​pink. The breeze blows and the peach blossoms fall. Some tourists take pictures in the rain, some run and play, and bursts of laughter float out of the peach blossom forest in the wind.

Especially the children's laughter sounds full of innocence and childlike fun.

After returning to his hometown to rest for two days, Jiang Li walked with Jiang Boya to the pink and white peach blossom forest.

Captain Jiang and his wife were not traveling together, and they had too many emotions when they returned to the village this time.

——It’s hard to see familiar faces.

Yes, there are few peers at their age in the village.

Even if everyone's life was better a few years ago, there may not be many who live to be eighty or ninety years old.

Well, even if there are people of the same age still living in this world, their mental state is really incomparable to Captain Jiang and his wife. They are either blind or deaf, or their legs and feet are not flexible, so how can they go out for a walk casually?

What I want to say is that Cui Daxiao is still alive and well, but she is about the same age as Cai Xiufen, but she is already a thin old lady who walks tremblingly.

Almost all the teeth in his mouth have fallen out, but his eyes and ears have not deteriorated to the point where he cannot see or hear. However, his speech has long been slurred and he can walk two steps fairly safely.

I heard from my grandchildren that Cai Xiufen had returned to the village, and they immediately came to chat with Cai Xiufen on crutches.

As for those who had been closely involved with Cui Daxiao in the village, such as Xu Chunxia's mother, Wang Chunhua, and Li Da Niu, they all passed away almost ten years ago.

Now that there was someone who could speak, Cui Dajiao was undoubtedly very excited.

But the moment she saw Cai Xiufen, she couldn't help but sigh. She felt that the two of them were really incomparable. She didn't even want to say a word. She just sat on the bamboo chair opposite Cai Xiufen and watched intently. other side.

She is about the same age, look at how she looks now, and look at her, even though her face is full of wrinkles and her hair is all white, but... she looks so energetic!

Her body looks much stronger than hers, and she doesn't even need crutches to walk. Her whole body is as tidy as before, and she looks like an old lady in the city.

And the white hair was permed in small curls.

So cool!

"How have you been at home these past few years? You don't have any serious health problems, right?"

Cui Daxiao didn't speak for a long time, and Cai Xiufen couldn't help but ask him a few questions.

"Just live like that! My body and bones are not as good as yours, but I should still be able to live for two years."

Strangely enough, although Cui Daxiao wears dentures on weekdays, her speech is not very clear. However, at this moment, when she spoke to Cai Xiufen, she sounded quite clear.

Cai Xiufen said with a smile: "You, you talk the same as you did when you were young!"

"You didn't treat me well when I was young, right?"

Cui Dadao still remembered the past. After listening to her words, Cai Xiufen said: "How come I don't know that I don't want to see you? At most, I have less contact with you."

She doesn't talk nonsense, so naturally she and Cui Daxiao are not the same people, so they inevitably don't move around much.

Cui Daxiao: "Huh! You can say whatever you want now. No one can stand up and expose you anyway." Cui Daxiao really responded to the word "old kid". She gave Cai Xiufen a roll of her eyes, and then her expression Somewhat stunned: "They are all dead! Li Danniu and Wang Chunhua left in the same year, and the Xu family left earlier than them. Are you afraid you don't know yet?"

Cai Xiufen was confused: "What?"

"The Xu family's girl Chun Xia also died long ago! I heard she died in some detention center in Beicheng. When the old Xu family received a call from Beicheng, no one went to collect the body of that girl Chun Xia. Isn't that pitiful?"

Cui Dajiao looked emotional.

"Poor people must have their hateful qualities. In my opinion, there is nothing to be pitiful about that girl Chunxia."

Cai Xiufen responded.

Xu Chunxia died in Beicheng Detention Center. Jiang Li accidentally learned about this from Xi Guobang and told Cai Xiufen. Therefore, Cai Xiufen naturally knew the reason for Xu Chunxia's death.

"That boy from the Zhou family died in the village three years ago. Fortunately, he and your Li Bao broke off their engagement that year. Otherwise, with his bad behavior, Li Bao might not know how life would go after he married him."

Cui Daxiao is talking about Zhou Weimin.

I ran to Beicheng to look for Suman, but couldn't find him, and I was worried about being targeted by debt collectors. I wandered around Beicheng for half a month, unable to find a job, let alone a place to live, and finally had to return to my hometown.

As a result, in the winter of that year, because no one knew about the high fever he had at night, he was burned to death on his own kang.

By the time he was discovered, his body had already become hard.

Then catch the bugs. . .
