Chapter 1705 Satisfaction
New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer.
This year's New Year's Eve is a little different from the past.
In the past, no matter how successful Li Dong was, if he was not married, his parents' home was his only home.
But in 2009, Li Dong got married and had a son, and now he has his own small family.
At this time, some things changed.
In the past, Li Dong would choose to go to Wanyuan to celebrate the New Year, because his parents were there, and he was a bachelor, so where else could he go if he didn't go to his parents.
And there, he was not the head of the family.
Now, something has changed.
This year's New Year's Eve was spent in Dongyuan.
Parents will come to East Garden. Although it seems that the place is just changed, it is actually a manifestation of recognition.
In the past, parents would not agree to go to Li Dong's place for the New Year, even if his house was bigger.
Now, Li Dong mentioned something, and his parents didn't have any objections, so they readily agreed.
In the eyes of parents, the sign of maturity is getting married and having children. No matter how famous Li Dong was, he was still immature and not qualified to take on the responsibility of being the head of the family.
...
In a blink of an eye, time entered February.
East Park.
As New Year's Eve approaches, Li Dong has less time to go to the company recently.
And the parents also came to Dongyuan in advance to help Li Dong and Shen Qian prepare for the new year.
The atmosphere in the East Garden gradually became lively.
Parents came, Xiaoshitou and Xiaoyu were on vacation, and Li Dong spent more and more time in Dongyuan. At this time, Dongyuan was no longer deserted as before.
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Jing brought Li Lan to the East Garden.
After Uncle Li Dong passed away, Li Chengyuan took good care of Li Lan.
Li Dong himself, in fact, doesn't have too deep feelings for them,
In other words, there is almost not much affection, after all, the two parties probably have not met more than twenty times.
But my father felt that he needed to take care of it. For Li Dong today, this is a trivial matter, as long as Li Chengyuan is satisfied.
His own father rarely asks him to do anything, and even now he is self-reliant.
Taking care of the blood of the Li family a little will make his father happy, and Li Dong thinks it's no big deal.
Of course, the premise is that Li Nanming is not so unreliable.
But now Li Nanming has no way to be unreliable. Li Nanming, who was stuffed into the army by Li Dong, will not be able to come back this year for the Chinese New Year.
As soon as Li Lan's mother and daughter arrived, the popularity of Dongyuan became even stronger.
Not long after, Cao Feng's family, including Cao Yu, also came to East Garden.
In the past few years, everyone has changed a lot.
When Li Dong went to the station to pick up Cao Feng and Cao Yu, anyone who looked at them knew that the two must have come from a small place, and Cao Yu still had big braids back then.
But now, when I look at it again, I can't see the previous appearance at all.
Cao Feng has matured a lot, got married and had children, and experienced a few years in a distant place. Not long ago, Cao Feng took his savings for so many years and Li Dong's support, he gritted his teeth and resigned from a distant place.
After resigning, Cao Feng started his own small company.
It may not be appropriate to say that it is a company.
Cao Feng knew that he was not a high-tech material, and he didn't have the capital. Although the IT industry is booming, he is not capable of doing it.
He knows what he is capable of.
Even if he is far away, he has to rely on Li Dong to live.
After all, I have spent a lot of time in Yuanfang. Recently, Yuanfang Retail is making business adjustments, and the fresh food business is getting stronger and stronger.
Cao Feng was originally from the mountains, so he was no stranger to this area.
The company I opened this time is not actually a company, but it has contracted a lot of land in the suburbs, including the Nanhu area, and has become a farmer.
And the main object of supply is the distant place.
Now there is a great demand for this in Yuanfang, and there is no problem in sales. As long as the business is done properly, it is not difficult to earn some money, not to mention the rich.
With Li Dong as a backer, Yuan Fang would naturally give priority to his goods under the same circumstances.
As far as the distance is concerned, Cao Feng's small agricultural base is not enough for a day's sales in the Pingchuan area.
As long as the quality is not too bad, there is no problem in eating it. In fact, Yuanfang himself is now supporting some farmers to develop fresh food bases.
Including schools such as Jiang University and Agricultural University, Yuanfang is also promoting this project and preparing to build more fresh food bases.
Leaving a distant place and starting his own business, Li Dong actually supported this.
This is a good thing, Cao Feng is not highly educated, even if he stays far away, his prospects are limited.
Instead, it would be easier to leave with Li Dong's support.
In fact, Cao Feng is the same as Meng Qiping, and he is also the kind of wise and foolish. Li Dong knew a long time ago that his cousin looks honest, but in fact he is more clear in many cases.
He is not worried about his cousin, his cousin Lin Meng is also a shrewd person, and the couple are living a happy life now.
It was mainly on Cao Yu's side. Li Dong was too busy before, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until this time that Cao Fang pulled Li Dong and muttered a few words, that Li Dong turned his attention to Cao Yu.
...
in the living room.
After being urged by his mother for a while, Li Dong took a moment to sit opposite Cao Yu.
Seeing his cousin looking at him curiously, Li Dong felt that he could really be a matchmaker now.
After brewing for a while, Li Dong finally said, "Cousin, after the Chinese New Year, you will be 29, right?"
It is generally not welcome to raise the age with a woman.
Even if the other party was Li Dong, Cao Yu felt a little depressed when she heard this, and argued, "I'm only 28 years old after the Chinese New Year..."
Li Dong couldn't help laughing, Cao Yu was not considered pretty, she looked like a man.
Of course, life is better now, plus there is no shortage of money, beautiful clothes, a little makeup, women are still very biologically plastic.
For example, Cao Yu is completely different from a few years ago. In the eyes of many people, Cao Yu is probably a first-class beauty.
Discussing age is not Li Dong's purpose, and he didn't care how she reduced her age, Li Dong continued: "Uncle and aunt are very anxious, look at cousin, how old are the children.
My mother is also anxious, at this age, it's time to think about getting married.
I heard from my mother that you seem to have a boyfriend, when will you bring me over to meet him? "
Hearing Li Dong mention this matter, Cao Yu blushed a little, and said awkwardly: "I haven't written my horoscope yet, Auntie is really, I will tell you about this..."
Li Dong said with a smile: "I heard that we have talked for quite a long time, is it okay to meet up?"
Cao Yu was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I was afraid that you would scare him.
I don't dare to tell you about this, you have high eyesight, you definitely don't like him..."
Li Dong smiled and said: "How come, you just like it yourself, tell me, what does the other party do?"
"It's just an ordinary office worker working as a technician in a factory.
She's average in length, but she's very honest..."
Cao Yu briefly said for a while that he was an ordinary person with no special features, and he knew Cao Yu when he was having dinner in Yuzhuang.
Cao Yu is now helping the cashier in Yuzhuang, and she doesn't think too much about it. Unlike others, she still has a little bit of self-motivated thinking.
Cao Yu feels that life is pretty good now, and the work of cash register is also easy, and the restaurant is still opened by aunt and uncle, so it is even easier.
And she also has a house in Pingchuan, although it is not big, but a woman with a house and easy work, plus Cao Fang taking care of her in private, money is not an obstacle, such a life is enough for Cao Yu.
She didn't think too much about picking a boyfriend, she just had to be down-to-earth anyway.
The other party was honest and dull, Cao Yu thought it was quite good.
But the other party's income is not high, and the person is not very good. Cao Yu has never dared to bring it to Cao Fang and Li Dong.
From Cao Yu's point of view, his cousin's vision must be scary.
The last time Li Qing's boyfriend was from the bank, he was much better than his own boyfriend, but when he saw Li Dong, he was terrified, and Li Dong didn't show any admiration.
Her boyfriend is worse than Li Qing's current husband, Cao Yu thinks that if she brings her back, maybe her cousin and aunt will think her boyfriend is too bad.
If they feel bad, Cao Yu doesn't know what to do.
Li Dong listened to her talk, and smiled after a while: "It's pretty good."
"It's good?" Cao Yu was confused, and you didn't see it, so you said it was good?
In fact, what Li Dong was talking about was not Cao Yu's boyfriend, but Cao Yu himself.
To be honest, as Li Dong's relatives, after Li Dong became more and more prosperous, there are very few people who can still maintain their original intentions.
Even if he has a slight relationship with Li Dong, his eyesight is scary at this time.
Not to mention, as Li Dong's cousin, Cao Fang is also very kind to this niece. At this time, Cao Yu's eyes and posture are higher, there is no problem.
But Cao Yu didn't seem to have these thoughts, which even Lin Meng couldn't compare to.
Lin Meng also often thought about establishing a relationship with Li Dong, asking her husband to please Li Dong, or to please Cao Fang and his wife more deliberately.
Of course, all of this is extenuating.
But Cao Yu's personality hasn't changed too much over the years, and he doesn't look down on anyone or feel bad because Li Dong has developed.
The boyfriend I choose is, as always, chosen by my heart.
Class, hierarchy, family status... Although these concepts are now abandoned, they have actually always existed.
For someone else, I am afraid that at this time, more eyes will be placed on the elite class.
Cao Yu didn't need to worry that others would look down on her. She carried the identity of Li Dong's cousin, not to mention ordinary elites, even wealthy families could marry into her.
But Cao Yu didn't. Because of this, Li Dong felt that the Cao family might not be very capable, but their background was very good.
Whether it is Cao Feng or Cao Yu, they are actually much stronger than many people.
The most difficult thing for people is actually to see themselves clearly.
The brothers and sisters of the Cao family have a clearer understanding of this point. I have to say that this point is quite to Li Dong's appetite.
Is it really good to find an elite class?
The so-called elite class, in Li Dong's view, are all the same.
Instead, it's better to find someone you like, with a suitable level. In this way, even if Li Dong supports him a little, his life will not be too bad.
On the contrary, find someone at the elite level. What others look at is not necessarily your person, but your background.
There is not much common language between the two parties, and the man may choose to combine more for the benefit. Such a life may not necessarily lead to happiness.
In fact, Li Dong has seen many such situations.
Among some rich second generations in Jiangbei, the probability of this happening is very high.
If Cao Yu herself was an elite, that would be okay, but Cao Yu is not. Her character is such a mentality of getting rich and settling down. Finding an ambitious husband may not be a good thing.
Thinking about this in his heart, Li Dong didn't say it out loud, and said with a smile: "Let's find time to have a meal together later, at this age, it's time to get married."
Hearing what Li Dong said, Cao Yu immediately said happily, "Dongzi, you agree?"
Li Dong laughed and said: "You are looking for a husband, not to live with me, of course it is your wish.
Poverty and mediocrity are not scary.
If you are afraid, you are afraid, you are not willing to be ordinary, you are not willing to be mediocre, but you don't have the corresponding ability and commitment, don't go looking for this kind of person.
Many people shout what I want to do, but their actual actions are zero.
These people are longing for the pie to fall on their heads. There are so many good things waiting for them in the world.
And the other kind of people, although they are willing to be ordinary, may live an ordinary life warmly and extraordinary, this is their ability. "
Cao Yu may not have understood Li Dong's words, but Cao Yu was still very happy to get Li Dong's approval.
Seeing her happy, Li Dong also felt very happy.
Looking back, looking at the whole family, Li Dong became more and more happy.
Over the years, what I have pursued is now being realized step by step.
...
New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer.
This is Li Dong's sixth reunion night after his rebirth and return.
The taste of the New Year in Dongyuan is getting more and more full.
When the East Garden was hung with red lanterns everywhere, and Li Chengyuan and his wife gave out red envelopes to the security personnel and cleaning personnel, Li Dong knew that New Year's Eve was really coming.
From a family of three in the first year to now, there are more than a dozen people, big and small.
From the Dongping Dwelling in the first year to the present, the huge Dongyuan.
On the day of New Year's Eve, Li Dong's smile has never stopped since early in the morning.
Call Yuan Xue who is far away in Xiangjiang, call Hu Xiaorui who is also in Pingchuan, call Du Anmin and his wife who are still in Beijing, call the management of the company, call classmates and friends...
Except for Qin Yuhan, Li Dong made all the phone calls he could make.
This time of rebirth, Li Dong felt that he had obtained everything he deserved.
Wealth, family, affection, love...
Everything seems to be so perfect. Sometimes, Li Dong feels that there is no need to be too demanding. Everything now has met his expectations, and even far exceeded his expectations.
But sometimes, the girl with the ponytail still flashes in my mind.
From being quick-witted and lively at the beginning, to being taciturn later, to now being persistent and determined...
Many times, Li Dong was thinking that maybe when he was reborn, he shouldn't change some things, and let history follow the original track, maybe it would be better for Qin Yuhan now.
Without herself, she might live a better and happier life than she is now.
However, no ifs.
Li Dong was very skeptical, even if he did it again, would he really be able to let go?
Or, if he does it again, maybe he will go to the end with her?
All this is unknown, and Li Dong himself does not know.
