Chapter 243: Filial Piety or Face

After the family had breakfast, his mother asked Li Yan to take Yurong around the local area. He had not been back for many years and needed to go out to find out the situation. (www.26dd.Cn)

Li Yan is also happy to take orders, but he can't stay at home all the time. There is no entertainment at home, so Yu Rong will probably have to take out his laptop to do things again.

After coming out of home, Li Yan didn't know where to go for a while. Everything was unfamiliar to him. He probably had to hire a taxi to act as a guide and become a tourist.

Yu Rong had rested well. Although she still felt cold when she came out, she still felt very happy when she looked at the snow on the ground. She suggested: "Where is the middle school you studied in before? Is it far from here? Why don't you take me there?

Check it out!"

Her understanding of Li Yan's past is really limited. The things that happened in middle school were because when she told the story of Qiao Huanban before, she talked about what happened when they were in middle school. They also talked about it last night, so they had a better impression.

.

Li Yan hesitated and said, "Okay. It's not very far. You can walk there."

He was "kidnapped" when he came back from evening self-study. He had been away for more than ten years. Now that he is back, in addition to home, what he misses more is the school he used to have.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Yurong used to have to drive when going out, but now that the destination can be reached on foot, she still feels quite excited.

Although the changes were quite big, a school couldn't be moved casually. It had its place at home, and he could still remember the route he had taken to school countless times before, so he didn't worry about not finding it.

As Li Yan led him forward, Yurong brought up the question about the agency that arrived when he came back from the Internet yesterday. "After we go to school, let's go find a real estate agency and see if there is a good one with fine decoration."

house."

Li Yan fell silent. He had already kept his situation last night, and also expressed that he wanted to buy a house or something. He had full spending power. But what he was thinking about now was not just about the house.

When having breakfast just now, he briefly asked about the current situation of his parents and learned that they had no regular jobs for a long time. They had not been able to get into a high-quality state-owned enterprise in their early years. At this age, it was naturally impossible for them to have any good jobs.

Now the two of them, Li Tang is working as a janitor in a unit, and Wang Suzhen is selling freshly ground soy milk. Now that they are back, the mother Wang Suzhen does not have to go out to set up a stall, but Li Tang still has to go to work.

Over the years, he has been sending money home, and it is definitely enough for them. But you can guess with your toes that his parents have not used a penny. They have all been saved for him. Even when he is old, he still supports himself.

Compared with Zhang Tianyi and his wife, who are about the same age, they are cultivating at home and being cared for by others, which makes Li Yan feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was speechless, Yurong turned around and looked over. Seeing his expression, she immediately guessed what he was thinking and comforted her: "Is it because your parents have to work so hard and you feel sorry?"

Li Yan forced a smile: "They have lived frugally for half their lives, so they don't have any savings, but when they get old, they are still reluctant to spend money. They are just worried about me, worried that I will have no money to find a wife or buy a house. If I am like

If others are in front of them, they can support their own family, and they don't have to work so hard."

"Well, then let's buy them a house and spend some money so that they don't have to work." Yurong followed his wishes. But the conversation changed: "But do you think this is really good for them?

Okay?"

Li Yan was startled: "What do you mean?"

"I don't know if situations like theirs are common here. But I feel that whether dad goes to work or mom sets up a stall, in addition to the hardships of life, they also have a share of fun. This is their

Their jobs have their value, their interpersonal relationships, and their sense of existence. Would it be too arbitrary to simply give them money and ask them not to work? Would it be depriving them of their jobs?

A sense of social participation?”

Hearing Yu Rong's analysis, Li Yan was also stunned. Yes, if they were told not to go out to work, what would the old couple do every day? Stay at home day and night? Go for a walk in the park? From what he knew about his parents,

Days like this really make them uncomfortable.

Afraid that he would misunderstand, Yu Rong continued: "For many people, work is just for an income. But if you have income but no job, you will realize that work is actually more than just an income. Just like

If my dad wants money, he has already earned enough. If he wants a career, he can let me take it.

It would be more comfortable to take a back seat, or appoint someone else to manage it. But before his body collapsed, he still managed it by himself, which was also a process of enjoying the work. Of course, I don’t mean that we don’t want to take care of it, but that we should not take care of it.

Eliminate their worries and leave them the choice without force."

"What?" "Haha, didn't you just stop? They are worried about you, worried that you can't find a flight and can't afford a house, so they help you save money, and the money you send also helps you save your money."

Rong Zhu suddenly stopped.

But Li Yan had already understood and said with a smile: "Now that I have a wife and a house, they shouldn't have anything to worry about. But my wife is so beautiful and excellent that they worry that one day I will be dumped;

The house was also bought by my wife's family. Once we separate, we can't live in it anymore, so they are still under pressure. Therefore, we have to show love so that they don't have to worry about getting divorced; and then we have to buy a house in their name or in my name.

House, that way their biggest worries are gone."

Although the part involving her is not very pleasant to listen to, it is the same truth, Yu Rongtou.

"In that case, no matter what job they do in the future, they will be less stressed. It is good to have an income, but they will not be nervous and worried if they lose their job."

"Well, then buying a house is imperative. Even if they don't want to leave the place where they have lived for many years, they can have psychological protection."

Yurong chuckled again: "However, there is one more problem."

"Well?"

"Would you feel embarrassed?"

Li Yan frowned, "What do you mean?"

Yu Rong asked sternly: "Besides that you want to fulfill your filial piety, do you have any other ideas about telling them not to go to work? You can make money and live a good life, but your parents still have to work hard, and your relatives, friends, and neighbors

What will they think of you? If you have such concerns, it’s because of your face problem!”

Li Yan was surprised. He had not considered this. But if he thought about it seriously, it was really possible. So what if he had billions? If his parents still go out to work, it would be unfilial and not good to his parents. So Ran went the other way.

, if his parents continue to work, it will make him lose face.

"I don't know, maybe! But after you said it, I figured it out. Then again, in today's social environment, after buying a house, you won't have such a view."

"Just think about it. I'm afraid that you are worried about others backing you for the sake of face, rather than forcing them to stop working. In that case, even if their material living conditions are better, they may not be happy. We do our best and give them the right to choose.

Bar!"

Li Yan stopped and stared at Yu Rong carefully.

"What for?" Yurong wrapped her face with a scarf and just looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"I don't understand, how come you, Sister Zhang, know the people better than me?" Li Yan asked jokingly.

Yu Rong rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not a commoner anymore? I've figured out the truth." "You are only interested in work, do you still have time to study the truth?"

"Okay, I admit, I noticed this, not because I am more careful, nor because I understand or have experience. It is because I have seen a famous movie, which talked about a son who went to the south to work.

Later, he started a business and started his own company. He bought a house in the south and asked his mother to take care of the children. She was not used to it and did not go. He also wanted to buy a new house for his mother in his hometown, but her mother insisted.

Living in the old house assigned to the family in the early years. The son was so excited that he said, "I am rich, but I still want you to live in the old house. What will the neighbors think of me?". Then the mother

, she just felt that the old house was quite good. She had been used to it for decades and was surrounded by familiar neighbors. Moving to a new house was not suitable for her at all. In the end, the son did not force her to buy a new house and asked her mother to move out. "

Li Yanyou gasped: "Perhaps many of us have kidnapped our parents' work pleasure with filial piety, but in fact it is for our own face."

Yu Rong then suggested: "How about buying a store, a supermarket or something for them? Just let them take care of it."

Li Yan laughed dumbly: "Forget it, that will make them more worried and tired."

While talking along the way, we had already reached the middle school where Li Yan used to attend.

"This is your school? Where were you targeted?" Yurong asked curiously.

Li Yan pointed around: "Everything has changed a lot. Only the location of the school has not changed. The school gate has also been expanded. I can't even figure out where it is."

He took Yu Rong and walked inside. It was already winter vacation and it was basically quiet, but there were still graduating students making up for classes. Looking at the unfamiliar campus, Li Yan felt like he was traveling through time, and things were different and people were different.

The feeling. Thinking back to those days, when he was young, he had fantasized about many futures, but he never imagined that he would embark on such a path of no return.

When I came to such a place, I thought that I had forgotten all the things from the past, but they clearly appeared in my mind. I didn't know how to cherish them at all back then. Now I look back, but more than ten years have passed. That youthful young man has forever become a
