Chapter 121

"By the way, here are two more down jackets, one for you and one for my aunt. They are very warm. You can try them and see which one you like?" Li Chengye took out the two down jackets from the box. , the box was immediately empty - partially.

Country Y has a lot of cold winters, so down jackets are indispensable. The down jacket he bought is of good quality. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bring it back, he would definitely buy one for everyone.

"It's not like we don't have down jackets here, why did you buy them?" Mother Li blamed Li Chengye, but her hand touched the clothes.

Both down jackets are mid-length, and both are red, but there are some subtle differences. Mother Li and my eldest aunt have similar figures and are both quite standard, so the sizes of the two clothes are the same.

"This is of good quality. You don't need to wear a thick sweater to wear it." Li Chengye put the clothes on the bed and let her take a closer look.

"Really." After complaining, Mother Li watched carefully.

"This dress is so beautiful! It has a waisted waist and is much prettier than the ones we have here."

Although there are down jackets now, the tailoring is actually very simple, almost straight up and down, and the whole thing looks like a bucket. I brought it back from Li Chengye somewhere. The sleeves have ruffles and a belt that can be contracted. There are small details everywhere.

The most favorite thing is that he is actually wearing a hat. The fluffy edges of the hat are really comfortable to touch.

"You didn't bring one for your grandpa. He is older and needs these things even more."

The clothes are definitely good clothes. They are warm to the touch and are more suitable for my old man. He suffered many injuries when he was young and lacked clothes at that time. If he eats too little, almost all his body suffers from ailments, and he is very afraid of the cold.

"Hey, yes, yes, how could I forget grandpa." Li Chengye quickly opened another suitcase, that one was black. Considering Mr. Xu's position, Li Chengye deliberately chose a suitcase that looked more ordinary. .

"Hey, you still have good taste! The code is also right." After reading it carefully, Mother Li finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Hehe."

"By the way, you go to your grandpa's house tomorrow and pick up your aunt and grandpa for a meal. Your aunt and others have helped a lot during your absence."

Although we only met halfway . They are familiar relatives, but neither of them cares about each other, and they are all sincere. Mother Li thought that she had always eaten at Xu's house before, and her sister-in-law was mainly busy. This time, she might as well treat her to dinner at her own place.

"Mom, why don't you just invite us out for dinner?"

There are many people in the Xu family. I heard that my uncle has been transferred back. In the Li family, only mother Li knows how to cook. It's really hard work.

"What are you going to eat outside? It's so insincere to go out when your family is eating together!" Mother Li glared at him, this kid really doesn't understand the ways of the world.

"It's too hard at home!"

"What's hard is just cooking a few dishes. Okay, if you have nothing to do, go and have a rest early. When you get up tomorrow, go pick up your grandpa and the others. By the way, don't forget Xu Liu and the others. " Yes."

"Okay, I understand." Unable to resist Li's mother, Li Chengye agreed.

The Xu family has also developed very well in the past two years. Their family has experienced war. At that time, Mr. Xu was the only person left in the Xu family, and the wife he later married was similar to him. In addition, Mr. Xu is very strict with Xiao Bei at home, so there is no stubbornness like other families. Mr. Xu's life was also very easy.

Li Chengye was worried that he would not meet Mr. Xu and the others when he went there, so he called in advance to inform them the night before. He wanted to take a ride there by himself, but he didn't expect Mr. Xu to have someone drive over to pick him up, so Li Chengye went there with the gifts for the Xu family.

Everyone in the Xu family was very happy to see Li Chengye, especially Mr. Xu. He took Li Chengye and chatted in the study for a long time, without giving anyone else time to talk to him.

"I heard that you have done a lot of things abroad?" Mr. Xu was very happy to see Li Chengye. Although Li Chengye went abroad, he would still ask about Li Chengye's news from time to time.

"I haven't done much. The main thing is that I haven't been embarrassed. All the tasks that need to be completed have been completed."

"You only did a few things. I heard that you got a doctorate and earned a lot of money abroad. "Qian, that professor at your school doesn't want to let you go yet!" Mr. Xu smiled and shook his head. In his position, he didn't have to ask many things he wanted to know, and someone would naturally take the initiative to pass on the news.

You must know that the news that Li Chengye is his grandson has not been hidden. For such a big thing, people will naturally say in front of him, no, Li Chengye has already had someone come on him before he returned to the country. The money and silk are touching people's hearts. Li Chengye got it back to the country. That's super--big money.

"Haha, it's mainly because I'm lucky." Huaguo people's humility.

"Hey, this is not luck. It's luck once and twice. If you can win more and lose less, it depends on your strength." Mr. Xu smiled and shook his head.

"By the way, do you have any plans for such a big sum of money? There are many people who are jealous now!" After sighing, Mr. Xu felt very helpless. He didn't blame these people. Everyone is generally poor now. Development in all aspects requires money. The country's plate is too big, and there are many places where nothing can be done.

You must know that many factories have closed down in recent years, and finances in various places are also very tight.

Now his second son is the mayor of the capital. Although the capital has the greatest support from all aspects, he can't bear the fact that there are too many things that need to be done. Xu Jintu didn't say anything in front of the old man at home, but he has been getting busier and busier recently. Various inspections, various meetings, and various policies are all so complicated that it is difficult to take time off.

Li Chengye was silent. He did have money, but it was too little compared to a country. Now that he has entered the system again and taken over the investment department, he probably has no idea of ​​doing business in the country.

Seeing that Li Chengye remained silent, Mr. Xu continued: "Ordinarily, this money is your personal property and is sacred and inviolable, but you also know that the current situation in our country, especially in the southwest, is really very unfair. Stable, the soldiers are very short of supplies..."

At this point, Mr. Xu stopped, covered his face, and sighed deeply. It was full of decadence...

The neighboring countries are still determined to harm me, and they also occupy geographical advantages. Advantage, using women and children to set up ambushes, how many young soldiers died there, those cold numbers are all living lives. Wouldn't it be better if they had more weapons and more advanced equipment?

Li Chengye was once a soldier and had experienced war. Naturally, he felt the same and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, our flower country is still too poor, and the army is also poor..." Another deep sigh!

This is asking him to donate money!

At this moment, Li Chengye had already heard what Mr. Xu really meant. Was he asking him to donate money to the army?

After gathering his thoughts, Li Chengye said helplessly: "Grandpa, tell me! What should I do?"

Come on, let him do it first - fall in love with the businessman. Anyway, there is no precedent in the past, and there are still many people in the hands of his descendants. He has an IOU that funded the Flower Country's army decades ago! Anyway, he has enough money on hand, and he believes that he can make more money in the future. Of course, that's making money within the rules.

"Hey, my grandson is happy. There is a shortage of a lot of medicines in the southwest. The effects of our domestic medicines are not that good. See if you can find a way to get a batch of painkillers and other healing medicines from abroad."

I'm afraid that people will regret it . , Mr. Xu said quickly.

"Okay." Li Chengye agreed without hesitation. Because of his talent in securities, he had met many famous business people, and his personal connections were also very sufficient. As long as it was not a prohibited item, it would be very easy to get it back.

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Xu was very happy.

"Hey, but this money...?"

"It's not money. I donate it to the army, right? I'll try to get as much as possible." This was a matter of life and death, and Li Chengye didn't hesitate.

"Hehe, okay, I will ask the military department to give you a medal when the time comes! I know that your boy is still very patriotic." Mr. Xu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. Normally, the country We attach great importance to the southwest, but the shortage of supplies is really a very troublesome problem.

"I can't help it. Who told me that I'm from Huaguo!"

"Grandpa, it's almost time. Let's go to my house first! My mother is waiting for me to pick you up!" I originally planned to pick up people and go over there. It's already getting late.

"Okay, okay, it just so happens that Liu Liu and the others are here, let's go there now." The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Mr. Xu stood up happily.

Li Chengye saw Mr. Xu who was shaking slightly and hurried over to help him up. He was already over seventy this year and was much weaker than the previous two years.

When Mr. Xu saw Li Chengye's action, he didn't mean to refuse, so he stood up with his own strength.

"Hey, Mr. Luo, from now on, I might not be able to move anywhere, and I won't even be able to eat in my mouth." After sighing, Mr. Xu laughed to himself.

Beauties are afraid of old age, and heroes are naturally afraid of it. No matter how powerful you are or what great deeds you have done, you cannot escape old age and frailty. Most of the old guys who fought with him have passed away. Those who are still alive also have many problems, and some people directly call the hospital their home.

"How could it be? As long as you take better care of yourself, you will definitely not be in such a bad situation." Li Chengye was also secretly shocked. In fact, it has been rare since ancient times. Although the average life span of people has increased a lot now, more than seventy is indeed —A very dangerous age.
