Chapter 316 Parent Training Program
After the lunch party, Li Jingwen was about to rest. He planned to leave Jiangcheng in the afternoon and continue his journey to the central region. So when the lunch party ended, Liu Jinpeng said goodbye to Li Jingwen and wished him a smooth journey. Liu Jianguo didn't know how to speak, but when he said goodbye to Li Jingwen, he also wished him a smooth journey. Wu Wenli and Wan Qiwei had nothing to say, but at this time Wan Qiwei became very kind, and the two of them seized the time to say insincere words.
When Liu Jianguo and Wu Wenli got on the black star, the old couple was silent for a while. Liu Jinpeng thought they were both stimulated. Comrade Liu finally said to Liu Jinpeng: "Hey, it's not easy for you. They are not worthy of their family, that is, you can handle a few words."
This time, Liu Jianguo saw it clearly. Liu Jinpeng was indeed confident. He was not humble or arrogant when talking to Li Jingwen. Moreover, there were many changes in topics, so he could talk about anything. Unlike himself, speaking to His Majesty the Emperor was like a primary school student who saw the teacher's attitude and asked and answered questions. That was really uncomfortable.
Liu Jianguo then told his son: "Xiaopeng, I have thought about it. I really have to study hard. I have to learn until I am old. This is really true." It is really impossible not to learn. I have no intersection with the circle over there, and I can't even talk about it together. For the sake of the children, he has no choice.
Talk about topics is not important or important, but not having them is definitely two concepts. Talking skills are one aspect, but depth and breadth are also indispensable. If you have a wide range of contact, you will have more knowledge, and naturally there will be more content for chatting. What circles say, what you call a farmer farmer who says international trade is not very clear. This is not discrimination against farmers, but the depth and breadth of technology and knowledge are much greater than decades ago, and not everyone is proficient in a few knowledge.
Speaking of which, Liu Jinpeng is also considered a small town, but he was asked to farm. I'm afraid he couldn't even recognize the seeds. In the 20th century, a person could master several disciplines, physics, chemistry, etc., was no problem. But now, one subject is so complicated that it is not possible. If you want to conduct in-depth research, you can only choose one branch to go. You can't even think about the entire research.
This is the change of the times. Liu Jianguo used to think that they were more respectful in western Hubei. Being a teacher is considered to be a medium-sized person in the whole society, but he is not as good as the best. Therefore, his enterprising spirit has never been great. It is of course a good thing for his son to have a promising future, but the circles he came into contact with were a bit too complicated for Liu Jianguo, the older generation, and Old Liu couldn't handle it.
Wu Wenli had the same idea. The last time she went to Europe, she was really eye-opening. She had seen many things she had never seen or heard of before, and it was just a quick trip. Thinking about her son’s current life, how did he become like this? Wu Wenli suddenly felt that she cared too little about her son.
Liu Jinpeng’s idea is that his parents should gradually get used to their current life. It is best not to stay in a small town in western Hubei. It is not that there is not good, but that the small places are very suitable for elderly care, but not for broadening their horizons. When their parents are tired of life outside and want to return to western Hubei to elderly care, Liu Jinpeng must have agreed, but at this stage, they still have to slowly learn a new lifestyle.
It was like renting a small villa. Liu Jianguo was a little unhappy when he first came and thought it was a waste of money. Wu Wenli privately said that there were too many girls there and it was awkward to live together. The old man reluctantly agreed. And just like Zhang Yu imagined, Wu Wenli really planned to buy groceries and cook by herself. If Liu Jinpeng hadn't said that the chef had paid half a year at a time, maybe she would have to cook for Meishan Villa here.
These living habits are forever and are difficult to change for a while, so Liu Jinpeng does not intend to force the old man to change for the time being. He just hopes that they can have more contact with various circles. If they are used to it or not, it is mainly because he also hopes that his parents can have a wonderful old age. When a person has the ability to change, he should try to change. As more things learn, it means more choices. Isn’t the meaning of life lies in rich and colorful choices?
The main expectation at present is to prevent the two old people from worrying about money. Of course, the easiest way is to pile up a mountain of money for them to show. Liu Jinpeng can do this now, but such a simple and crude method is not suitable for his parents, so he can only find a way to subtly influence it.
Anyway, it was fine in the afternoon. Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen discussed and decided to apply for a joint card for the two old people. The current joint card of Jinlong Bank stipulates that both parties must be present to apply, but after the application is completed, you can swipe the card separately. The joint card has savings and credit functions. Liu Jinpeng felt that the two old people definitely don’t like the credit method, and that kind of repayment was also quite troublesome, so he still saved some money in the card.
Li Xiwen talked with the two old people, and when Liu Jinpeng came back, she secretly asked: "How is it? How many have you saved?"
Liu Jinpeng didn't know how much it was suitable, but according to the consumption level of the two old people, it should be similar. He said: "Saving one million should be enough."
Li Xiwen didn't know if it was enough, but she thought that if there was a large amount of money, the two old people would definitely not say anything, so she said, "It should be almost done. I will add another million, what do you think?"
Liu Jinpeng laughed and pinched her hand and said, "What? Are you starting to please your in-laws now?"
Knowing that Li Xiwen's face was tender and seeing that she was about to turn against her, Liu Jinpeng quickly said, "Okay, go, get the card back after getting it done, and I can't go there."
Next, Liu Jinpeng introduced the method of using a joint card to the two old men, and at the request of Wu Wenli, he carefully talked about how to report the loss. The old man was always worried about something that was not there, and he was always worried about something that happened without any accident. In order to consolidate the knowledge taught just now, Liu Jinpeng specially took Liu Jianguo and Wu Wenli to Zhongbai Supermarket on the roadside to buy things. This supermarket is a local chain supermarket in Jiangcheng City. The varieties are not very complete, but the prices are still a bit competitive.
Although there are a lot of things in the freezer at home, according to Liu Mei's habit, she always has to buy things from foreign supermarkets such as Jin Fu, because there are many choices there, and the price is not very cheap. However, this time she was with her parents to buy things, so she naturally couldn't think about it. Anyway, she had to unpack the things when she bought them, and Liu Mei would definitely not recognize them.
The fresh food department of Zhongbai Supermarket is not very big, and the waiter is lazy and not very enthusiastic. Wu Wenli chose a few pig hands after a long time, saying that she would show off her hands when she went back and make a honey pig hands for her son to try. Liu Jinpeng liked to eat pig hands when he was in western Hubei. At that time, the family was not very rich, and she couldn't eat it once a week. Wu Wenli still remembered this.
Li Xiwen was wandering around the beef and mutton counter. She pulled Liu Jinpeng and asked, "Do you think the braised beef here is new? I'm afraid that Liu Liu will find it if you buy it back. Why don't you buy some and eat it yourself?"
Hey, are you so afraid of Liu Mei? Liu Jinpeng didn't dare to ask, because he was afraid that Li Xiwen would get angry, so he said vaguely: "Buy less, beef is so expensive now, it's just a few dozen yuan, and I'll finish it in two bites."
Liu Jianguo went to carry two bottles of wine, but he was really good at turning around. He actually found two bottles of Honghu yellow wine in the corner. After Liu Mei went to Honghu last time, she regretted not buying the yellow wine recipe. Liu Jianguo actually heard Ye Ling say it once, so he thought about it. This time he happened to see it, so he took it back and tasted it.
Liu Jinpeng took a few more bags of snacks, which were brought to Meiling and Meihua, so they went to swipe the card to check out. Liu Jianguo and Wu Wenli lined up at two exits with the cards, and Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen followed them to guide each other. Swiping the card is actually very simple, just pay attention to it when entering the password.
After swiping the card, Liu Jianguo must take the pass, saying that he would study it and see if he had charged more money. Wu Wenli had already studied the pass, and her arithmetic is very good now. She can tell that it is roughly the same after just a glance. He got into the car with a bunch of things in his arms, and Liu Jianguo began to mutter: "It costs almost a hundred yuan for such a small amount of things. The current price is really bad. If it were western Hubei, it wouldn't be so much."
Before Liu Jinpeng could speak, Wu Wenli said, "Hey, what I said to you just now was in vain? You said you are a dead old man, your son asked you to spend the money, and you were muttering. It would be fine if there were no outsiders here, but if you let outsiders hear it, you should not be embarrassed to throw it outside."
Liu Jianguo thought it was true, now it was not the past, so he had to get used to it, and this was what his son said just now. Liu Jinpeng smiled bitterly and said, "You get used to it slowly. The prices in Jiangcheng are not very expensive. You are going to places like New York, Paris, Tokyo, etc., which is expensive."
Liu Jianguo stopped talking. Judging from his son's intention, he planned to ask himself to walk around and take a look. Now he doesn't object. However, it is not very convenient for him to take leave now. He said he would take the last class and graduate at least two months. He wanted to take the class to retire before completing the class. Of course, Wu Wenli knew what her old man thought, but she had no students to take now, so she could come out and play in front of the station first.
Liu Jinpeng’s plan is to let his parents travel around the world. On the one hand, he should be relaxed after working hard all his life, and on the other hand, he can also take this opportunity to consider his future direction. He knows that his parents have been working in the education industry for a lifetime, and it may be difficult for him to leave this industry, so he also has the idea of investing in letting the two old men come forward to run a private school.
He had exchanged views with Li Xiwen about this idea, and Li Xiwen agreed very much. Education is an industry encouraged by any country, and there are some things that are hard to say. For example, these sisters will definitely have their own children in the future, so it is always more at ease to go to school in their own schools. Thinking of this, Liu Jinpeng even had the idea of running from kindergarten to university. (To be continued.)
