That Year the Flowers Bloomed 1981

Chapter 1029: You Want to Support Me? (Busy New Year, Next Chapter Will Be Updated in the Evening)

"Thank me? Thank me for what?"

Li Ye didn't take it seriously when he heard Qiao Dapeng suddenly thank him.

Because adults usually don't say thank you in public, because that would make people around think that you owed the other person a big favor, which would be embarrassing.

So sincere thanks are always done quietly, and only false courtesy is expressed publicly.

Qiao Dapeng was already a little drunk, looking at Li Ye seriously and said: "At the beginning, we were able to get three sponsorships for studying abroad, which was originally due to the influence of your Lone Army Literature Society.

Later, you gave up the opportunity to study abroad, and I became a regular team member from a substitute. If you stayed in Lijiapo to study abroad, you would definitely develop better than I am now."

"."

Everyone looked at Li Ye and Qiao Dapeng, and they were all a little surprised.

And Li Ye was also surprised, because he felt that Qiao Dapeng's thanks were sincere.

At this time, he remembered that when the Beijing University Debate Team arrived in Lion City, everyone was divided into several groups to visit everywhere. Qiao Dapeng, Li Ye and a foreign affairs staff member were in the same group and participated in the Pan-Asian Youth Literature Exchange.

So Qiao Dapeng knew that Wu Jinyuan "looked high" on Li Ye. If Li Ye stayed in Lijiapo to develop, he would most likely "rise to prominence" and fly higher.

"Hahaha, how do you know that I am worse off than you now?"

Li Ye laughed and said to Qiao Dapeng: "My child can now help with soy sauce, really help with soy sauce, she knows to give people a big bill, and they want to give her change. Where is your child?"

"."

Qiao Dapeng was speechless and stunned.

[Am I comparing this development with you? I'm talking about career and future.]

"Hahaha~"

The people around saw Qiao Dapeng stunned, and they all laughed, and then someone started to tease Li Ye.

"Look at Li Ye, he looks like a child who hasn't grown up yet, but his child is already a bystander, and his development speed is definitely ahead of Europe and the United States, and he is ahead of the world."

"It's hard to say whether he is ahead of the world, but it's true that he is ahead of us. Among our group, only the ninth and fifth have children, and they were born this year. We can't catch up, and we will never catch up in our lifetime."

"."

Qiao Dapeng was stunned for several seconds before muttering: "Li Ye, you have children? So fast?"

Li Ye proudly stretched out two fingers: "Twins, a boy and a girl, a boy and a girl, you are envious, right?"

Qiao Dapeng smiled and nodded and said: "Of course I envy, it's really hard to believe, Li Ye, you are still a child yourself? It's been a blink of an eye. Why are you so anxious? "

"You are almost there!"

Li Ye winked at Qiao Dapeng and asked with a smile: "When will you and your sister-in-law have the wedding?"

Qiao Dapeng laughed and said: "It has not been decided yet! My family has been urging me for a long time, so I came back to see my parents this time."

Li Ye nodded repeatedly: "It's right for your parents to urge you, hurry up, time is running out."

The parents of the flower-growing family all hope to hold their grandchildren one day earlier, not only because they are eager in their hearts, but also because if the grandchild is born too late, their physical condition will be much worse, and it will be very tiring and hard to take care of the child.

But just after Li Ye finished speaking, Qin Yongsheng beside him smiled and said: "Li Ye, you really have a childish temper. Old Qiao is not anxious yet! You are anxious for him. Can such a thing be anxious?"

"Why can't such a thing be anxious? Hiss, don't tell me, this matter can't be anxious, can't be anxious, a real man should still focus on his career, don't learn from me! I am a peasant thinking and like a wife and children warm bed."

Li Ye changed his words halfway because he saw Qin Yongsheng winking at him and secretly pouting at Qiao Dapeng's fiancée Lina.

Lina's face was originally so-so, and now she was obviously a little unhappy.

"Hahaha, a wife, children, and a warm bed. Li Ye, you have already achieved your life goals at such a young age. What motivation do you have for struggle in the future?"

"You are wrong. Having a son will give you more motivation for struggle. If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, then life will be boring."

A group of people started to discuss enthusiastically again. Obviously, these children who have just entered society for a few years have not realized how precious the life of a bachelor is. They still yearn for a wife and children.

But just as everyone was discussing more and more heatedly, Lina suddenly said to Li Ye: "You just misunderstood Dapeng's meaning. He actually wanted to say that if you still want to go out and take a look, we can sponsor you to apply for an opportunity to study abroad."

"."

"Sponsor me?"

The people around him were quiet again, and Li Ye looked at Qiao Dapeng in surprise.

Qiao Dapeng's expression was also quite unexpected. Obviously, he did not expect his fiancée to say such words openly.

The word sponsorship is applicable to the relationship between the strong and the weak, and it is easy to give people a sense of condescending charity.

If Li Ye is really pitiful, that's fine, but now he says he is doing well, and you want to support him in front of so many people. Who are you looking down on?

And Li Ye was a "little rich man" when he was in school, how could he tolerate such words?

So Qiao Dapeng hurriedly said: "Li Ye, Lina means that we can provide you with help in studying abroad. As long as you are still willing to go abroad, we will definitely help you do it."

Li Ye smiled and shook his head slightly, saying, "No, no matter before or now, I think the development prospects of the mainland are very good, so I won't go out."

Qiao Dapeng pursed his lips, his eyes full of apology. Although Li Ye's tone was indifferent, he knew that Li Ye was unhappy.

Li Ye believed that the development prospects of the mainland were very good, but he was stranded overseas and married an overseas wife. This was actually a case of forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit, but everyone in this era was like this, which covered up the fact of betrayal.

Qiao Dapeng smiled awkwardly and wanted to change the subject, but his fiancée said to Li Ye, "Do you really think the development prospects of the mainland are very good? Then why did his relatives want to study abroad through us these few days after Dapeng and I came back?"

"."

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became weird.

This Lina doesn't understand the social etiquette of the flower-growing family.

Although many people are eager to go abroad these days, and even those who did not get the study abroad plan at the beginning are still full of longing for the overseas world, it does not mean that you can talk to us with such a superior attitude.

Li Ye felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, as if waiting for him to give a sharp counterattack.

When Li Ye was in school, he had a quarrel with Naoto Nakamura, but he was a firm big flower planter.

Li Ye smiled lightly and said lightly: "Everyone has different perspectives, so of course the views are different. I admit that the mainland is now lagging behind the developed countries in the world,

but we will get better and better, and it won't be long before we will catch up with the world. At that time, everyone must remember to look back and see what kind of difficulties we have faced and what kind of people we are, working hard for our country and dreams."

"."

Silence lasted for at least ten seconds.

Li Ye is still the same Li Ye as before, speaking bluntly and sharply, and satirizing the two hosts at the scene.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Qin Yongsheng and Qiao Dapeng are both applying for overseas nationality, which is obviously not related to "some kind of people".

Someone raised a glass: "Come on, for our country, for our dreams, let's drink!"

"Cheers, cheers, no matter where we are, we are working hard for our dreams"

"Yes, yes, Lao Qiao and Lao Qin are ready to invest in the mainland, and they are also doing their best for the development of the motherland."

"."

The scene was a bit chaotic, some people were lamenting the value of their "screws", and some were busy smoothing things over for Qiao Dapeng and Qin Yongsheng.

Only then did Li Ye know that Qiao Dapeng and Qin Yongsheng had come back to "serve their hometown", but as representatives of overseas companies.

This is understandable, Fu Guiru is still a "patriotic overseas Chinese"!

However, at the following banquet, Li Ye didn't say much, just coldly watching Qin Yongsheng and Qiao Dapeng and his wife talking about relationships and connections with everyone, just like traders, exchanging what they have.

At a party, everyone drank for more than two hours, and almost everyone was drunk, and a few honest people with true temperament went to the toilet several times.

Li Ye also went to the toilet to soak water. When he turned around and came out, he saw Qiao Dapeng waiting for him.

Seeing Li Ye coming out, Qiao Dapeng immediately stuffed an envelope to Li Ye.

"Li Ye, don't listen to Lina's nonsense. Although she is also Chinese, she grew up in Lijiapo since she was a child. After all, she is different from us mainlanders. She can't understand the friendship between us."

Li Ye quickly pushed the envelope away and said in surprise: "Old Qiao, what are you doing? Are you trying to make me make a mistake?"

Qiao Dapeng opened his mouth and said helplessly: "Li Ye, don't get me wrong. This is really a little gift from me. It's the money I saved. If you have a chance, you really should go out and see. The gap between us and them will get bigger and bigger in the future."

"."

Li Ye looked at Qiao Dapeng, who was at a loss, and finally sighed.

Qiao Dapeng was a man of temperament. He felt that it was Li Ye who gave him the opportunity at the beginning, so he always felt indebted in his heart, so he had to give Li Ye another chance.

Lina's words to Li Ye just now probably showed her dissatisfaction with this "aid". After all, judging from the thickness of the envelope, this should not be a small amount of money.

Even the most generous wife cannot tolerate her husband using the family's money to help others. That's how bad friends come from.

Qiao Dapeng may not be the same as Li Ye, but at least he is a man.

"Old Qiao, I don't lack money. I just lack friends like you who speak frankly."

Li Ye pinched the envelope and firmly stuffed it back into Qiao Dapeng's pocket.

Then he said, "But the concept of gap should be analyzed from multiple angles. In some aspects, we are indeed struggling to catch up, but in some aspects, they will never be able to match us."

Qiao Dapeng: "."

Li Ye is not bragging. The gap depends on the level. In terms of high technology, it is indeed very hard and difficult for the mainland to catch up.

But now everyone envies the prosperity of overseas countries. Do they envy those high technologies?

No, everyone envies the wealthy life.

In this regard, the mainland is catching up very fast, so fast that even they can't believe it.

Decades later, an accident made Xiaohongshu popular, and also caused a debate between my nephew and a bunch of keyboard warriors.

My nephew said that those things were deliberately let you see.

Li Ye didn't dare to comment on this.

But I have not only read Xiaohongshu, but also "Happiness Knocks on the Door"!

In the movie, Will brought his little child and cried for three meals a day. He had to occupy the toilet for a bed. A chicken burger could make the father and son thank God.

So, who of the flower-growing men decades later still has a hut in their hometown? Homeless people don't sleep in the toilet, right?

And as long as they are not rotten into mud, who would worry about being hungry?

Sanhe God still works one day and rests for three days!
