Chapter 55: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet and the Wind Does Not Stop 33
In the blink of an eye, summer began, and Li Wancai asked Li Qinglin to do a very special short-term worker - to take his son to do farm work.
Li Wancai was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty when he was young, and becoming an official was his dream. Since the Republic of China overthrew the Qing government and his dream was shattered, he focused on managing his family business. Although he had flocked mules and horses and countless gold and silver in his hands, he still felt regretful in his life.
Parents always hope that their children will realize their regrets. Fortunately, they have three sons, so their hope is placed on their three sons. Li Wancai named his son Li Liyan, Li Ligong and Li Lide according to the "Three Immortals in Life" in "Zuo Zhuan", and hopes that the three sons can continue to realize his wish that he cannot realize in this life.
Li Lide is Li Wancai's youngest son, but he was born to Li Wancai's eldest wife, so he is Li Wancai's legitimate son. Li Wancai likes him very much and has the greatest hope for him. Since Li Lide was six years old, Li Wancai has been studying for him, and he has invited the best teachers to go to the best schools.
Li Lide is indeed a material for studying. He has excellent academic disciplines since he started studying. He was admitted to Nankai University in Tianjin at the age of 18 last year. At this time, college students were rare, and Li Wancai was very proud of such a college student in the Li family.
But this summer, the school sent a letter, telling Li Wancai that Li Lide was tempted by red ideas during his school days, repeatedly participated in ** activities, made radical remarks, and did not accept the school discipline. At the end of the letter, the school told Li Wancai in a stern tone: "This summer, the parents of the student will be strictly controlled. If the student does not repent, the school will force the student to drop out of school in accordance with the article and paragraph of the Student Management Regulations!"
This "forced withdrawal from school" is actually a polite statement of expulsion. Li Wancai was so angry that he received the letter. He worked hard to pile up such a college student with money. He wanted him to shine his family and promote his family style, but in the end he was forced to expel him. This made Li Wancai, who had been proud all his life, feel so sorry for him!
After receiving the letter, Li Wancai immediately talked with Li Lide and advised him to turn back to the right and complete his studies. However, Li Lide used new words such as country, nation, ideals, and struggle to convince Li Wancai. Of course, the final result was that the two had a big quarrel and parted in a bad mood.
Even if the quarrel is quarrel, the matter has to be resolved. Li Wancai immediately convened a few wives to hold a family meeting to analyze the reasons and find a solution. The result of the family meeting was: 1. Li Lide was a child and was frugal and did not work hard. Therefore, he did not know how hard he worked, so he naturally did not cherish his current life. He should let him do farm work and suffer a little during the summer. 2. "Xiaoma loves to have fun, because he has no bridles." He immediately arranged a marriage for him during the summer. If a fiancée is behind him, he will also have responsibility and have more concerns. He will be more steady in his work and speak in the future.
Once the solution is found, everyone will naturally take action separately. With the wealth of the Li family and the identity of Li Lide as a college student, although Li Lide's engagement is not difficult, it also requires a slow search and a family that is of equal status. What you can do right now is to let Li Lide do farm work and suffer some hardships.
Someone needs to take care of farm work, but the Li family's long-term workers are definitely not the best candidates. Li Lide is the young master of the Li family. It is too late to curry favor with these long-term workers. Maybe all the farm work will be done by him, and Li Lide can't do anything. Naturally, Li Wancai would not go to the field to do farm work himself. After thinking about it, he finally found the best candidate - Li Qinglin.
Li Qinglin is not a parent-worker in Li's family and will not give Li Lide face; in addition, Li Qinglin has also been to school and can talk with Li Lide; Li Qinglin is already married, so he naturally has a sense of responsibility, and such a person is definitely the best candidate.
With Li Qinglin's words and deeds, Li Lide's behavior will definitely be restrained, and Li Wancai was very satisfied with his choice. So he asked someone to come and ask him to give him a task for the two-month summer vacation - to let Li Lide suffer.
"No matter what method you use, as long as you can make him suffer, the salary this summer will be doubled. If necessary, he will be able to work for your family. But if he doesn't suffer, you won't get a penny!" Li Wancai said to Li Qinglin at last.
Li Qinglin couldn't help but be happy. This old landlord had a good idea to educate his son in a difficult manner. Of course, it was very tiring to do farm work. If he hadn't settled in this rural family, he wouldn't like to do these dirty and tiring work. Now he has to give someone a free job to work for him, and he can't even welcome him. So Li Qinglin agreed and promised Li Wancai that he would let Li Lide do the dirtiest and tiring work himself.
Li Lide arrived at Dalizhuang early the next morning, and Li Qinglin was already waiting for him.
Li Lide is nineteen years old this year, about the same height as Li Qinglin, with a clean face on his face, and a student's head. Because he had never done much work, his body was slender like a bean sprout. Li Lide was wearing a student uniform, with a metal school sign "Nankai University" on his chest, a pen in his top pocket, and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet.
According to Li Wancai's brief introduction, Li Lide is a problem boy in Li Wancai's eyes and has a rebellious personality. How can such a young man use to change him?
Last night, Li Qinglin thought about the middle of the night and felt that some special schools in his previous life changed their educational methods for Internet-addicted teenagers who were able to learn from, so he formulated a two-step plan: first force him to change in appearance, clothing, and behavior, and first have a physical storm; then look for the reasons from his thoughts, smash some of his unrealistic ideas, and brainstorm him.
Brain storming needs to be carried out slowly later, and physical storming must be carried out immediately.
At this time, the long-term workers had already done a morning work in the field, and now they are all back to wait for breakfast. After breakfast, they go to the field to do morning work, so people come and go to the backyard. Li Qinglin said to Li Lide with a cold face in the yard: "Take off the clothes and shoes and wear the same clothes as me."
It is now summer. On the one hand, people cannot afford clothes at this time of poverty. On the other hand, for the convenience of work, in summer, the men in the farmhouses are barefoot, wearing big shorts, a big straw hat on their heads, and a large piece of white clay sweat towel to block the sun. Li Qinglin is also dressed in this way now.
Li Lide looked at Li Qinglin's outfit, then looked down at his clothes and shoes. He obviously didn't want to change it, so he stood there motionless.
"It's true that there's a bit of personality." Li Qinglin thought to himself.
"If you don't go by yourself, I'll change it for you!" The body storm must be carried out. If the first shot cannot be fired, the subsequent arrangements will not be carried out. So Li Qinglin walked up and prepared to let Li Lide change his clothes by himself.
Where there are crowds, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will naturally be flatterers. The Li family courtyard is no exception. Sure enough, a long-term worker came out, and he is Li Gousheng, a parent worker in the Li family.
Li Gousheng is twenty-three or four years old this year, tall and strong, with a dark and shiny reply. He scolded Li Qinglin: "Li Qinglin, isn't your tm a cart driver? Our Young Master Lide is a nobleman, is it your turn to shout at him?"
Li Qinglin just made a move to strip Li Lide's clothes, in fact, he was just pretending. He was hesitating whether he really wanted to take action. Now suddenly someone jumped out, giving Li Qinglin another chance. As long as he put down this person, the young master of the Li family would naturally change his clothes by himself when the situation was not good.
Li Qinglin deliberately looked at Li Gousheng with his eyes and said, "What are you doing? Are you not convinced?"
Li Gousheng was about to show his loyalty in front of the young master. Seeing that Li Qinglin was not so strong, he suddenly felt confident. He waved his big fist and slammed it over, and scolded: "I just don't accept you!"
