Siheyuan starts a 100,000-acre farm

Li Aiguo looked at Li Youan seriously and said.

"Dad, what do you mean by this? Why do you want me to pick up mineral water bottles? Isn't that embarrassing? And I don't want to study. Studying is too boring. I just want to play games, watch TV and eat delicious food."

Li Youan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Youan, you don't understand. The competition in society is very fierce now. If you don't study hard, you won't be able to find a good job in the future and will have to live a hard life.

Look at those rich people, they all succeeded through their own efforts. If you don't study, you will be like those garbage collectors in the future, working hard every day but not making much money. So you must listen to me, study hard, don't just play around. "

Li Aiguo spoke to Li Youan earnestly.

"But Dad, I think studying is difficult. I don't understand a lot of the knowledge, and I don't want to listen to the teacher's lectures. And I think studying is boring and meaningless."

Li Youan said aggrievedly.

"Youan, studying is not easy, but as long as you study hard, you will be able to do well. You can ask the teacher more questions, read more books, and do more exercises, so that you can improve your grades. You have to believe in yourself, you can do it."

Li Aiguo encouraged.

"Okay, Dad, I'll give it a try. But I still want to play for a while and study later."

Li Youan said hesitantly.

"No, you have to start studying right away. Don't put it off any longer. Look at your classmates. They are all studying hard, but you are wasting time. If you don't work harder, you will be left far behind in the future."

Li Aiguo said sternly.

"Dad, don't be so mean. I know I was wrong. I will study hard starting tomorrow."

Li Aiguo naturally understood that tomorrow is always tomorrow, and there is no telling when the tomorrow Li Youan was talking about would be. He knew that Li Youan had only verbally agreed and had not really realized his mistake. This kid was always like this, always saying he would correct himself, but never actually taking action.

Li Aiguo frowned and looked at Li Youan, with a look of disappointment on his face. He was very disappointed and angry. Why didn't this child know how to cherish? He had good conditions to study, but he was addicted to games all day. He didn't know how to educate Li Youan and make him really understand the importance of learning.

Li Aiguo took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. He knew that Li Youan did not really realize the seriousness of the problem, but he could not just let it go. So he decided to teach Li Youan a lesson and let him know how hard it is to make money.

Li Aiguo came up with an idea, and he said to Li Youan:

"Since you think studying is unimportant, then go out and earn money. From today on, you have to go out and pick up mineral water bottles every day, and then sell them to the recycling station, and use the money you earn to pay for your living expenses. This way you can understand the hard work of your parents to make money."

Li Youan widened his eyes and looked at Li Aiguo in disbelief.

He didn't expect his father would really let him pick up trash to make money. Although he didn't spend money lavishly, he still had some resistance to picking up trash.

"Dad, I don't want to pick up trash! It's so embarrassing! And I don't know how to do it!" Li Youan protested.

Li Aiguo said seriously: "This is not a shameful thing, but an experience. If you don't want to be laughed at by others, then study hard and make a name for yourself in the future. Now that you have grown up, you should learn to live independently instead of relying on your parents."

Li Youan nodded helplessly, knowing that he had no other choice. He could only follow his father's arrangement and try to make money. Perhaps through this experience, he could truly understand his parents' hard work and dedication.

"Dad, don't worry. I will be self-reliant in the future. I will go pick up mineral water bottles and sell them for money. I will not only pick up mineral water bottles, but also cans. I guarantee that I will make a lot of money!"

Hearing Li Youan's words, Li Aiguo was stunned. What was that? Why was it different from what he imagined?

But then he thought, although Li Youan was a child raised in poverty, it depends on whose family he was raised in. In the home of Li Aiguo, the world's richest man, no matter how poor his child was, his living habits were there. Even if Li Youan didn't know the situation in his family, his food, clothing, housing and transportation were definitely not worse than those of ordinary children. Therefore, he naturally had no idea about suffering hardship.

"patriotic......."

Qin Jingru opened her mouth but didn't say anything. However, Li Aiguo already understood what Qin Jingru meant. She was just worried that Li Youan would be wronged.

After all, it is not an easy task for a child of a few years old to pick up rags. Although Qin Jingru said that she wanted to educate Li Youan and make him have a correct outlook on life and develop good habits from an early age,

But what Qin Jingru wanted to do was to provide an elite education, rather than simply raising the child as a poor child like Li Aiguo did.

"Jingru, I'm already unemployed and can no longer support the family. The children must learn to be independent. If they can't learn now, they will have endless hardships when they grow up. We must learn to endure hardships before we enjoy, and to suffer first and then enjoy!"

The next morning, Li Youan went out with a big bag. Following his father's instructions, he walked along the street looking for discarded mineral water bottles. At first, he felt embarrassed and always picked up the bottles secretly. But as time went by, he gradually overcame his inner obstacles and became more and more bold.

After a day of hard work, Li Youan finally picked up a bag full of mineral water bottles. He was exhausted and sweating, but he felt a sense of accomplishment. He sold the bottles to a waste recycling station and earned a small income.

What Li Youan didn't know was that although he was exhausted and sweating from picking up mineral water bottles that day, Li Aiguo and Qin Jingru were not having an easy time either. You know, they had been following Li Youan and watching him all day.

After returning home, Li Youan handed the money to his father and said, "Dad, I made some money today. Can I use it to buy snacks?"

Li Aiguo shook his head and said, "No, this amount of money is far from enough for your living expenses. You have to continue picking up bottles every day until you can fully support yourself."

Li Youan felt a little disappointed after hearing what his father said. He originally thought that as long as he earned enough money, he could buy the things he liked, but now it seems that this is just a luxury.
