Chapter 819 The word filial piety discusses the heart
Erlu stared at his red eyes, with a strange emotion in them.
A little jealous, a little envious, and a little pitiful. Anyway, it was very complicated. Cai Gen couldn't see it clearly even if it was obscured by the wine.
Pushing the money over again, Erlu lowered his voice.
"Lao Gen, please don't be polite to me. My mother has told you that things have not been going well in the past few years since you came back.
I heard that your small restaurant has suffered a huge loss and owes a lot to the famine. Brothers, please stop pretending. ”
Is this Aunt Li from the CIA?
Are you a little expert at getting information?
This information is not only well-informed but also accurate. How can it be so right?
Cai Gen couldn't refute, but he still stood up, straightened his face, and pushed the money back.
"I lose and I make profit. I can't take this money. What kind of money is this? Are you helping me?"
No matter how much he drank, Erlu couldn't admit it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see each other in the future.
"Lao Gen, what are you talking about? I don't mean it, just accept it.
You don’t know, ever since I found out that my dad is sick, I can’t be around him anymore.
It's so heartwarming that you showed up to help in the first place.
If you accept the money, I will feel at ease. ”
After finishing speaking, Erlu felt that what he said was a bit confusing, so he quickly added.
"You can't say that I use money to buy peace of mind, nor do I spend money to show my filial piety, nor can I say that I spend money to buy peace of mind.
But now I have no choice!
The mortgage, the car loan, the children, everything weighed down on me and I didn’t dare to relax at all.
Let me pay a little, even if it means spending money, at least it is better than doing nothing, right?
To tell you the truth, Lao Gen, I haven’t slept for several nights, thinking that I am nothing.
As soon as you close your eyes, you heard what my mother said.
My dad was lying on the floor and I was lying on the phone.
What’s the use of raising me for so many years?
What's the use?
What’s the use?”
After repeated repetitions, Erlu finally pushed his emotions out of control. He raised the bottle and poured the remaining wine into his mouth.
Regardless of the other people in the room, Erlu cried bitterly while drinking.
Cai Gen sounds very distressing. What's the use?
Raising children to provide for old age meets an only child. In addition, the overall business situation in my hometown is not good. There are many reasons that have caused the current situation.
If you let your parents enjoy family happiness and let yourself fulfill your filial piety, it will be difficult to have a good job.
If you have a good job, you have to let your parents be empty nesters and you become a guest at home.
The competition in today's workplace is so fierce, and you have to devote yourself to it and still have to live or die.
If you have other worries and burdens, how can you compete with others?
Especially at this age, which is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. After the age of thirty-five, if you can't become a senior executive, you can only wait to be eliminated.
At this time, it is also a trivial matter for the family. There are seniors and young children at the most difficult time, and they cannot withstand the slightest storm.
Cai Gen understands this, Erlu understands it, and everyone who wanders in a foreign land understands it, but is there any way?
It’s not that I don’t care, it’s not that I have no conscience, it’s just that I am really helpless and powerless.
There is no room for the soul in a foreign country, and there is no room for the body in the hometown, so there is wandering and distance.
Cai Gen felt that his emotions were also stirred up by Erlu.
"Okay, okay, Erlu, I know it's difficult for you, it's difficult for you.
Don't worry, if anything happens to Aunt Li in the future, I will be there, so don't worry. ”
Can Erlu rest assured?
What can he do if he is worried?
This time, the pile of red tickets was firmly pressed into Cai Gen's hand.
"Lao Gen, you said, let me rest assured. If you take the money, I will rest assured. Isn't this considered the money I hired you for?
Fifty-two weeks a year, you go to my house once a week and help me with whatever you need, for two hundred yuan a time.
I pay annually, and you give me a discount and no change. ”
This kid didn't drink too much at all. This little guy settled the accounts faster than Cai Gen.
Well, two hundred dollars a week is suitable for both ends. Is this a win-win situation?
While Cai Gen was still hesitating, Erlu stood up.
"Then let's make an agreement, pay for one year in advance.
I won't drink with you anymore and will go back to the hospital. ”
With the money in his hand, before Cai Gen could react, Erlu had already left.
This, this, what do you mean by drinking with me?
I didn’t even take a sip.
I poured a glass of wine and you spilled it.
Looking at the two empty blue bottles, Cai Gen was furious. What is this?
These two donkeys have learned bad things and are too grandsons.
He drank all the wine he brought.
By the way, Duan Xiaohong also had a drink.
Xiaosun and the others just started to use their chopsticks at this time. They hadn't eaten just now and were just listening and talking to them.
As a result, the drinking was too fast. In less than half an hour, everyone finished drinking and left, leaving only the blinded Cai Gen alone and messy.
As a wine drinker, Duan Xiaohong knew Cai Gen relatively well. She took half a glass of Sanbai and placed it in front of Cai Gen.
"Hey, Caibangzi, take a sip quickly. I think you're in a hurry. Don't regret not drinking it. It has no taste and doesn't taste good."
This potato was very good at finishing wounds. Cai Gen glared at her and drank half the cup of Sanbai.
Now I am depressed, and only Sanbai can relieve it.
After drinking the white wine, Cai Gen felt it for a while and almost wanted to take another half glass. His mood was aroused by Erlu just now, and he even ran away.
Not to mention how uncomfortable it is for me to be neither good nor bad.
Just after taking the drink, Xiao Sun suddenly raised his head.
"Third uncle, this business is going well.
One family has ten thousand, and ten families have one hundred thousand.
There are so many empty-nesters in this city, and their children are all in other places. Isn’t it difficult to find a thousand of them?
That’s 10 million a year. In just eight years, it’s 80 million. ”
Shi Huozhu was also very interested and put forward his own opinions.
"Grandpa, what you are talking about is just door-to-door care. There are other convenient ways.
For example, washing and rinsing, doing hygiene, and delivering three meals a day, these are all profit points. ”
Cai Gen was too familiar with this small city, so he rejected it directly. People of his parents' generation lived such a meticulous life, how could they let it go?
"The old man is receiving labor insurance wages. Who can be willing to spend this money? Stop joking."
As a woman, Zhen Shuiyin’s perspective is different.
“It is the elderly who enjoy the service, and it is the children from other places who spend the money.
This fee is relatively high locally, but compared with the income from work outside the city, it is just a drop in the bucket. ”
Duan Xiaohong also wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say because she had drunk a little too much, so she could only speak out.
"I can't bear to pay $200 a month. If it's $200 a month, I'll pay for it."
Cai Gen still felt that something was wrong. It was not a question of how much money he spent.
"No, if you do this, isn't it just spending money to hire people to be filial to your parents for you?
Can this careless thing be exchanged for money? ”
Xiao Tmall didn't know where it got the theoretical basis from, and it began to be popularized by Cai Gen.
"Master, the word filial piety means that the heart does not care about things, and there will be no filial son in ten thousand years.
Didn’t your friends just say that?
As long as you have this filial piety, doing more is better than doing nothing, and doing more is better than less. ”
