Chapter 139 Raising children for old age

Most tourist attractions are well marketed, which can be seen from this vote.

The employees of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. have selected some tourist attractions that are highly praised online.

Luo Fan had no travel experience in his previous life. He only went out with the company, and the tourist attractions chosen by the company were actually the ones that were better marketed.

As a Shanxi native, and his hometown is not far from Pingyao, Luo Fan has passed by the ancient city of Pingyao countless times, and he has been there 7 or 8 times.

When Luo Fan went to Pingyao Ancient City as a child, he felt very shocked, as if he had returned to a scene in a TV series.

But as I grew up, it gradually became boring.

To be fair, Luo Fan really felt that Pingyao Ancient City was not as fun as the Qiao Family Courtyard.

By the same token, Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. decided to go to Yunnan this time.

Yunnan is one of the few scenic spots that Luo Fan has been to. Regarding this scenic spot, Luo Fan feels that it is over-marketed and does not live up to its name.

(ps: I won’t go into details here. In short, I recommend it. If you travel during the holidays, XZ is your first choice in China. It is really a place that can cleanse your soul. Guilin is your second choice.)

However, the employees have all decided, and Luo Fan won't say anything more. The benefits are distributed anyway! Employees' happiness is more important than anything else. What they fear most is that after the money is spent and the benefits are paid, no one is satisfied.

Luo Fan then called Li Jingyi and told her that he was going back to his hometown on September 25 and asked her if she wanted to come with him.

Li Jingyi asked Luo Fan what he was doing when he went back.

Luo Fan didn't hide it and told her everything.

Li Jingyi was shocked when she heard that Luo Fan actually received an invitation from No. 1 Middle School.

She knew about the 50th anniversary of No. 1 Middle School earlier than Luo Fan, because her grandfather had received an invitation from No. 1 Middle School, but not as an outstanding graduate, but as a special guest.

According to her grandfather, the outstanding graduates invited by No. 1 Middle School this time are not simple. Except for the top students who graduated in the past two years and passed the Qingbei examination, the rest are all "big figures" from all walks of life.

Including but not limited to, big bosses with a net worth of billions, tycoons in academia, and leaders in high positions...

With such a lineup, it is really surprising that Luo Fan was invited as an outstanding graduate. After all, Luo Fan did not go to Qingbei. This means that he was not invited because he was a top student who graduated in the past two years, but because of business.

Achievements, these are completely two concepts.

Thinking of this, Li Jingyi said: "Then I'll go back as well. After all, I graduated from No. 1 Middle School and joined in the fun."

Luo Fan nodded and said nothing more.

Unconsciously, more than half a month passed, and the time came to September 25. Luo Fan drove Li Jingyi and Zhang Shuai home together.

"Fat brother, I heard that your cousin is getting married?" Li Jingyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked.

"Well, my cousin has been in the army for 8 years and has returned home at the age of 26. He has to get married quickly."

"26? So your cousin joined the army after the college entrance examination?" Luo Fan asked.

"No, he was in his senior year of high school and didn't even take the college entrance examination."

"For being able to stay in the army for 8 years, your cousin is quite capable."

"Well, this time he changed his job and returned home. The army even arranged a job for him, and he went to our city's police station to become a small leader."

Luo Fan was a little surprised when he heard this. He was given a job after he changed his job. This was not in his 1990s. Being treated like this meant that Zhang Shuai's cousin must have done well in the army.

"My mother told me after she found out that my cousin was assigned a job. She wanted me to go back to my hometown and take the civil service exam. Then I could borrow my cousin's salary and make ends meet. But I refused.

I think I have a better future with you than taking the public examination." Zhang Shuai said with a smile.

Hearing this, Luo Fan suddenly realized that in his previous life, Zhang Shuai was so determined to return to his hometown to take the public exam after graduating from college.

Men and women generally care about different things.

Luo Fan was concerned about Zhang Shuai's cousin's work, while Li Jingyi was concerned about his marriage partner.

"Fat brother, how did your cousin and his fiancée meet?" Li Jingyi asked.

"It was a blind date! How else could we have known each other? My cousin changed his career and came back. His family arranged a blind date for a month and met more than a dozen girls."

"The pressure at home is so tight!"

"The older generation is like this, and so are we. After graduating from college, it's time to get married, and after getting married, it's time to have children," Luo Fan said.

"These parents are really weird. When you were in school, they told you that studying is important and not to fall in love prematurely. But as soon as you graduate, they want you to get married, and after a little delay, they arrange a blind date. It's really drunk." Li Jingyi complained.

"Haha! It's actually normal. Elderly people just hope that their children will succeed in school, get married, have children, and start a family."

"I heard that DINK families and platonic love are popular in foreign countries. Wouldn't this cause a huge commotion in China?" Li Jingyi curled her lips and said.

"Not necessarily! And it's hard for a DINK family to persist." Luo Fan said with a smile.

In his previous life, Luo Fan had a leader who was 34 years old and had no children. He and his wife insisted on having a DINK family.

But one day, the community here in the Imperial City called on company employees to volunteer and help clean nursing homes. Luo Fan and the others responded to the call and went.

That day, Luo Fan's leader saw an old lady in the orphanage. Not only was this old lady being ostracized by other elderly people, but the nursing staff also bullied her.

Luo Fan's leader couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over to scold him and chatted with the old lady.

Then Luo Fan's leadership worldview collapsed.

At first, Luo Fan's leader thought that the old lady was being bullied because she was too poor. He planned to donate some money to the old lady. Who knew that the old lady was not poor? She was a demolished household and had three apartments.

Millions of deposits.

But the old lady is alone now, and her wife is gone.

The old lady is not a DINK, but her son was in a car accident when he was young and could not be saved, and her daughter studied abroad and got married there, so it became what it is now.

People in the nursing home couldn't see the old lady's children, and felt that the old lady had no one to take care of her, so they ostracized her and the nursing staff treated her badly.

Luo Fan's leader seemed to have seen him being sent to a nursing home when he was seventy or eighty years old, his wife taking the first step, and he was helpless and bullied.

Luo Fan's leader was afraid, so he had a showdown with his wife when he returned home, and the next year he had his own child.

It is said that raising children helps prevent old age, and this is probably the reason for the prevention.
