: "Arranged at the Royal Banquet Building."

The secretary nodded: "It's arranged."

But it was still early for dinner, so I had to ask people to sit down first to see what was going on.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the town had also set up a development zone to attract investment.

This matter! Lin Yutong is really in a dilemma. The only investment value in that place is the land. It is not far from the provincial capital. Sooner or later, it will be included in the provincial capital in 20 or 30 years. The land price is definitely very cheap now, but sometimes

I really feel that if I invest the money there and invest in another industry, the interest compounded over the past 20 to 30 years will not generate much profit. It is really not a very good place. I don’t think it is wise to invest money in it.

Mayor Li talked endlessly about various investment policies. At five o'clock, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master said, "Let's go to dinner first and talk while eating."

In fact, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong are quite cautious when dealing with people in the official circles. On the way to dinner, Fourth Master called a few people and got to know Mayor Li's situation.

There is nothing behind him, but the age of the town secretary is about to reach the limit. If he does not show some political achievements, his path to the top will be blocked. And this person is not without talents. I heard that this person

After years of work, I led the people to re-pave the roads in the town. It was also like this. Local people who went out to do business took the initiative to come to do work, invest in and sell land to ask for donations, but all they did was legitimate.

thing.

As soon as Fourth Master told Lin Yutong about the matter, Lin Yutong sighed.

If you don’t want to invest, don’t invest. The two of them donated money. They are willing to build new buildings for primary and secondary schools in the town, including kindergartens, and improve the teaching environment.

How much does it cost to build a two-story teaching building today?

The mayor was inexplicably surprised at that time. He took the fourth master's hand and held it tightly. While eating, the fourth master gave him an idea. It is close to the provincial capital and can be used as a base for vegetables and flowers.

Efficiencies of scale will come naturally.

Lin Yutong cannot refuse this kind of donation, otherwise his reputation will be ruined. Businessmen should also have a sense of social responsibility.

This is also the reason why wealth disperses and people gather together.

If you are willing to give up money, you will find that your relatives are easier to get along with, your friends will become more loyal, and even the folks in the village will become more harmonious.

Lin Yutong thought it was because someone knew about his reputation, so he came to visit her. However, a few days later, Mrs. Lin came to her home in a prosperous manner: "...do you know how much money you have spent in vain?"

Why did you waste your money?

Sister-in-law Lin was as distressed as if she had spent her family's money. When she said it, Lin Yutong understood. Originally, she didn't want to find Lin Yutong (?). Of course, Lin Yutong had doubts about this. The other party was afraid of her own power.

It’s hard to deal with someone who is too big, and then you lose face. It’s not that they don’t look for you, they just didn’t look for the right time to look for them. Is they looking for me to donate money for investment, or to recommend people like Jiang Youwei and Hu Hai?

This is hard to explain. Giving money actually prevents any requests for referrals. But obviously, when the news spread and reached Sister Lin’s ears, she didn’t think so. Not only did she not think so, she also went back to her hometown specifically

Went to inquire.

"It's all Zhou Tao'er!" Sister-in-law Lin gritted her teeth. When she was sitting on the sofa and yelling angrily, she also raised her buttocks as if to use her strength: "His son took the college entrance examination last year and also took an online course.

, but I didn’t think the school I was admitted to was good, so I didn’t go there. I repeated my studies for a year, and my test scores this year were better than last year. Which university in Shanghai did I get into? I heard it was a famous school..."

Lin Yutong nodded. No matter what university he was in, he had done well in the exam and was going to study in a big city. She understood what he meant.

Sister-in-law Lin then said: "But where are the tuition fees and living expenses? Zhou Taoer went to the town, saying that she was asking the leader for help, whether it was a loan or something else. You can't just watch your child pass the exam and no one will care about it. Huh! Who?

When her children ran out of money to go to school, she went to the town leaders to find a solution? She heard that many talented people from outside the town were invited to come back when they were building roads... I don’t know what they said. Anyway, she heard that the town

Poverty alleviation also rewards talents who are good at learning. They gave a reward of 5,000 yuan, which covers a year's tuition. But only two days after this happened, you donated money to build the school. Tell me, did she sell you out?

"The better people in the village even said that Zhou Taoer sold meat in exchange for two cents. Now, she didn't sell the meat, but she sold our father's daughter! Do you think my father knows about this?" After that, he asked more

Angry: "Dad also went to your brother and said that everything is expensive now, and three hundred a month is not enough. He asked us to increase the living expenses, and each family had to pay two hundred a month. The total of these three families is six hundred! Go!

I asked around to find out how many people in the city have an income of more than 500 yuan now. Those who go to the south to work in other factories only earn 400 yuan a month. He is alone in the countryside and has land to farm, and he is actually a

Three hundred a month is not enough, you have to ask for six hundred! Let me tell you first, I won’t give you this money. Just one hundred a month, do you want it?”

Lin Yutong didn't pay attention, and said to Mrs. Lin: "He didn't ask me for it either. How did I know that he didn't have enough money?"

Sister-in-law Lin slapped her mouth: "I shouldn't be so quick to talk! He only needs to have the nerve to come to your door! Just pretend that I didn't say anything about this."

There is nothing wrong with giving living expenses to the elderly. But I'm afraid Sister-in-law Lin is really telling the truth this time. There is indeed something wrong with Zhou Taoer's five thousand yuan. If she had to call Father Lin and then bring her son to the door, she would be honest.

Just say that the child is going to school and has no money to pay the tuition. I will borrow it from you and pay it back when the child is able. As long as he borrows and repays, Lin Yutong will not watch a child lose his future. But this man can do it.

After coming here for a while, she didn't want to think about it. She was given a reward this year, but what about next year? What about the year after? Where will your tuition come from? Next year her daughter will also take the college entrance examination, and from now on she will have two college students to support.

You can sell my business once, how many more times can I allow you to sell it?

If you have money, I can use it as a favor, but I can’t give you any advantages, right?

Lin Yutong said: "I'm going out with these three hundred by myself, just don't make any noise to the outside world."

Sister-in-law Lin was naturally happy. Lin Yuzhi didn't say anything. She understood what her sister meant. She didn't pay any more and just gave her two sets of clothes according to the season. The clothes could only be worn by Lin's father, and they were not particularly good clothes. It would be better to sell them.

It's not worth a lot of money. But if you don't give clothes but only money, Father Lin will still have to wear clothes from a few years ago. It's too late for Zhou Taoer to tighten her belt, so she won't be willing to buy clothes for Father Lin.

As for Sister-in-law Lin, she often goes to her hometown to collect vegetables. She doesn't let anyone gossip. Even when she goes back, she buys a meal from outside for Father Lin alone at a restaurant in the town, and then delivers it there with great fanfare.

He didn't even enter Zhou Taoer's door. He only called Father Lin outside and watched Father Lin eat.

Originally, it was not as cost-effective to buy ready-made food as to buy two kilograms of meat. But Mrs. Lin would rather waste it than let the food she bought go into the mouths of Zhou Taoer, mother and son.

Sister-in-law Lin even told people: "Our eldest sister is really willing to give up. Don't think you are doing anything to my dad. In fact, Tongtong even bought a villa for my dad and hired a nanny. Follow me.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law's villa is next to each other, and everyone has a share. They even hired a driver to fetch water from Laoertan every day. I heard that everyone in the village of Laoertan can live to be over ninety.

Less than half can live over 100. But what can my dad do if he doesn’t go? Tongtong said, I will give you one or two thousand pocket money a month, and you can just play mahjong and lose casually... My dad is not happy either, he has to

He can stay here without our children taking care of him, but he can't leave here... No, my eldest sister is angry and can't ignore it. Three hundred yuan a month is enough for him."

The people on the side said: "It is enough for one person to eat meat every day. There is also grain from the fields."

Sister-in-law Lin nodded hurriedly: "Tongtong also said that the gift was too little, but I stopped him and said not to give anymore. No matter how much you give, will the food go into dad's belly, or the drink will go into dad's belly?"

People on the side will know what it means, yes! No one’s money comes from the strong wind, so why should I raise a child for my stepmother?

Nowadays, when schools are built in the village, each family originally had to raise funds. Now that people donate money, it is equivalent to saving their own money. So we can't pick up the bowl to eat meat, put down the bowl to curse, and tear down other people's platforms.

What's more, it's not that Mr. Lin doesn't want to give it, it's that his brother and sister-in-law don't agree to give it. It doesn't make sense when you think about it, right?

Father Lin is not a talkative person. He can do whatever his daughter-in-law says and he won't defend her.

Sister-in-law Lin started to complain about her grievances again: "My second sister bought me new clothes. Look at my dad, the clothes he is wearing are still from three or four years ago. I am hard-spoken but soft-hearted. Seeing such

I'm old, dark and thin, and I can't stand it anymore..." Then wouldn't it be better to buy the old man food from a restaurant when he comes back to improve his life?

Sister-in-law Lin always spoke with a loud voice. She spoke loudly in the alley and in front of Zhou Taoer's house, so the mother and son could not hear her.

Lin Dou could die of grievance: "Mom, why do you have to live like this?"

Lin Mai suddenly opened the curtain and came in: "Mom, I'll go ahead of time. After settling in, I'll go out to work and earn my own living expenses. You don't have to worry about next year's tuition."

Zhou Taoer was so distressed that she cried, but she still put her son on the train.

After Lin Dou arrived at school, she glared at Yin He fiercely. She was now in the same class as Yin He, and she stared at Yin He inexplicably.

The two of them have a friendly relationship in the class, and neither one talks to the other. But Lin Dou's interpersonal relationship is obviously not as good as Yin He. Yin He can get along well with both boys and girls. Generally speaking, long-term

Good-looking girls are generally less popular with girls. But this score shows that because they have a kind of honest and shy temperament, boys have no immunity to good-looking girls, and girls think that this kind of temperament is easy to be attracted by others.

Bullying, on the contrary, many girls with stronger personalities tried to get along with her as protectors. Yin Yi had no problem getting along with girls with strong personalities, because Yin Wei was just like that. How to get along with her sister is how she gets along with these classmates.

She is naturally tolerant and tolerant towards her sister. If she were like this towards her classmates, there would be fewer disputes. Therefore, even if her grades were just average, everyone would be happy to play with her. Besides, she always had delicious food.

Can be shared.

As for Lin Dou, she is the kind who is beautiful and looks weak. She is aloof in front of girls and weak in front of boys. Many boys are willing to help her. She said she was busy with early reading in the morning and didn't want to

Eat breakfast. Then someone brought her breakfast, which was not even a portion. She said she was full from lunch and didn’t really want to eat it. Anyway, there was leftover from the morning. Then someone must have brought her lunch, too.

Such a girl.

Before the start of the third year of high school, a parent-teacher meeting is held to mobilize parents and ask them to cooperate.

It was time to register the younger ones, and then hold a parent-teacher meeting for the older ones. Fourth Master and Lin Yutong went there in person.

Lin Yutong went to explain why. The tables in the classroom were all gathered together in two circles. In the inner circle, after the parents sat on their seats, the children sat in front of their parents on the floor. In the row behind, the parents sat down.

, the children stood against the wall behind their parents.

Lin Yutong happened to be in the inner circle. After she sat down, she sat directly on her mother's feet. Her mother was wearing a pair of white sneakers today. She sat up gently and it was just right. Lin Yutong didn't say anything to her.

Just look at her papers.

Why did the classmate next to me whisper: "Your mother?"

"Yeah!" She knew that her mother was beautiful and young, but sitting among the parents of so many classmates, she still looked particularly beautiful and young.

Lin Dou, who was opposite him, felt particularly unhappy. In fact, the relationship was not that far apart. Mr. Lin was still his cousin. But what about now? He is rich, so he pretends not to see his family. Look at those people who were originally

A classmate who was close to her also came over and chatted happily with Yin He, saying how her mother was doing. Lin Dou lowered his head and didn't want to talk.

She used to think her mother was pretty, but she just didn't have the money to dress up. But now, it's completely different. Why's mother, from her face and neck to her exposed arms and ankles, they are all the same color, white and pink.

. But what about my mother? Her face and neck are all red from the sun, especially her hands and arms. My mother is wearing her most decent clothes today, a white short-sleeved shirt and a black pleated skirt. The shirt is from a tailor

Made in a shop, the skirt was bought at the market, and was paired with a pair of silk stockings. The shoes were black sneakers. The legs exposed were white, but the tops of the feet were dark because of wearing slippers in summer.

She didn't look like one. And... my mother was plump, but she didn't have a suitable bra, and only had a loose vest underneath... This was very embarrassing. She felt a little ashamed.

Lin Yutong saw Zhou Taoer, but pretended not to see her. She talked to Yinhe's deskmate's parent next to her. This parent was also the child's mother, a doctor, and had a very good temperament. She was talking to Lin Yutong about which school and major the child would take in the future.
To be continued...
