Chapter 553 The Penultimate Scientist
Author: Unstable Balance
Wang Weidong returned to Foshan. It is less than half a month before the Spring Festival, and the factory is about to close for the holiday.
In addition to the 200 workers who assisted Kyushu Co., Ltd. in building a purification workshop, the other 5,000 workers had to go home for the holidays.
When Wang Weidong returned home, his father Wang Haifu and father-in-law Lao Tou'er had already returned.
The eldest brother Wang Xianxian and his sister-in-law Qu Xiaomei also rushed south to celebrate the New Year. They will stay until spring before going to Ussuriysk to farm.
Seeing her son come back, Li Yufeng complained: "Look at your eldest brother, he earned more than 100,000 yuan from farming this year. Although he didn't earn as much as you, he also bought several sets of good clothes and wore them to make him look good."
That’s great! You’re such a big boss, why don’t you get a few sets of good clothes?”
Wang Haifu was sitting face to face with his in-laws, Mr. Chen, playing chess. He took a puff of cigarette leisurely and said: "These days, those who have money think about how to hide all day long, and those who have no money think about how to pretend all day long."
!”
Wang Weidong walked up to the two old men and asked while watching the chess game: "You two old comrades are gone, who is looking after the abandoned factory now? Since you two old comrades are not working, then my salary will be the same."
Can’t give it anymore!”
"Don't worry, there are plenty of people willing to do that work! There are several old workers in Xiangyang Chemical Plant who have taken their wives. Hebei is always warmer than Heilongjiang, right? They celebrate the New Year there, and both of us will be given free wages.
Them!" Wang Haifu said.
Before Wang Weidong could interrupt, Lao Chentou added: "The two of us have to go back after the Chinese New Year, and the iron-clad gold Tibetan mastiff is still there. I'm really worried! Besides, what's the point of living here? If it weren't for
During the Chinese New Year, Lao Wang and I will not come back!"
The three-year-old child was very happy to see his father back. He took out his own ice cream from the refrigerator and gave it to Wang Weidong.
Now the whole family is gathered in Fushan, and the house suddenly becomes more lively.
At dinner time in the evening, Chen Jiwu and his wife were specially brought to their home, and a dozen or so people had a lively meal.
Because he was happy, Wang Weidong drank a lot of wine and went to bed after dinner.
He woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and walked out of the bedroom to look for water, only to see his mother busy cooking in the kitchen.
"Everyone is asleep so late, who are you cooking for?" Wang Weidong asked in confusion.
"Give it to my grandson. My grandson is hungry!" Li Yufeng replied.
"Didn't he have dinner at night? Besides, he has gone to bed now, why did he bother you to get up and cook?" Wang Weidong said angrily.
"My grandson loves science now! He has been freezing outside for several hours. What's wrong with me cooking him some food?" Li Yufang said disapprovingly.
Wang Weidong hurriedly walked to the window and looked into the yard. Through the light in the room, Wang Weidong saw a vague man sitting in the yard, and in front of him there was a cannon-shaped thing pointing diagonally toward the sky.
"That person outside now is Xiaolong? What is that cannon barrel?" Wang Weidong asked in surprise.
"My grandson is promising and loves science. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up! He now likes to look at the stars, so I spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy him an astronomical telescope." Li Yufeng said matter-of-factly.
"You buy it for him when he asks you to buy it? That's more than three thousand yuan!" Wang Weidong asked.
"I spent my own money, and I didn't spend yours!" Li Yufeng said confidently.
"You didn't spend my money? You, an old lady, only have a pension of about 200 yuan a month. Even if you don't eat or drink, you won't have 3,000 yuan a year!" Wang Weidong retorted.
"It's a good thing that children like science! I bought it for him, what can you do to me?" Li Yufeng shouted, raising her voice.
Wang Weidong could not get angry in front of his mother, so he opened the door and walked into the yard.
The two people were arguing loudly just now, but Xiaolong didn't hear anything. His eyes were still on the astronomical telescope, concentrating on observing the stars.
It's January now, and the temperature at night is below ten degrees. It's very cold to stay outside for several hours.
Wang Weidong couldn't help but admire his son's perseverance.
"Get out of the way! Let me take a look too!" Wang Weidong said.
Xiaolong was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around and saw his father. He quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
After Wang Weidong sat down, he adjusted the astronomical telescope to focus on the missing half of the moon in the sky.
"Oh my god, it's so big!" Wang Weidong said while looking at it.
"Where did you get on the final exam?" Wang Weidong asked.
"Thirty-seventh." Xiaolong answered honestly.
"There are 38 people in the class, and you are still the 37th in the exam, but you are still the second to last!" Wang Weidong said dissatisfied.
"Two more classmates have come to the class in the past two months." Xiaolong corrected.
"So you are fourth from the bottom, and you are making great progress!" Wang Weidong said mockingly.
At this moment, Li Yufeng also walked out. She hugged her grandson with both hands and walked into the house.
"The noodles are already cooked, eat them while they're hot! Don't listen to your dad. He was naughty and mischievous when he was a kid. How can he be as promising as you!" Li Yufeng said.
Because the quarrel between the mother and son Wang Weidong and Li Yufeng was too loud, Wang Xianxian, who was still watching TV in the bedroom on the third floor, heard it.
He was laughing so much that he was rolling on the bed, tears streaming down his face.
"My mother is really good at it! A person like Xiaolong who failed in every field can still be a scientist!" Wang Xianxian said.
Daughter Xiaoya is sensible and obedient, and her academic performance is also very good. She is the pride of Wang Xian, Qu Xiaomei and his wife.
In the competition with his brothers, only Xiaoya can still compete with him.
Qu Xiaomei sighed and said, "Children from rich families are different. They get whatever they want. My mother didn't even blink when she bought an astronomical telescope worth more than 3,000 yuan!"
"What's the use of making so much money? If my son doesn't live up to expectations in the future, he won't be able to keep the family business!" Wang Xianxian said.
"Don't gloat, he is your brother! Without Wei Dong, how could our Xiaoya have such good conditions to study?" Qu Xiaomei said.
Wang Weidong returned to the kitchen and served himself a bowl of noodle soup.
He sat across from his son and asked, "Aren't you cold if you stay outside for a few hours?"
"When I lived in the village, I often went to herd sheep with my classmates in winter. Wind and snow were common." Xiaolong said disapprovingly.
Li Yufeng touched Xiaolong's head and said: "My grandson is kind-hearted and can endure hardships. He will definitely be successful when he grows up!"
Wang Weidong lamented in his heart, people who can endure hardship are easy to be content with the status quo, how can people with good intentions still make money?
He has now begun to give up on his son. It would be nice to live a peaceful life when he grows up.
