Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 815: Learning to be a good person

The grandson raised his head and looked at his grandfather seriously, "Grandpa, I have a name now, you have to call me by it."

Old man Li laughed loudly, took the pipe and said as he filled it with tobacco: "Okay, I'll call you by your full name. Your name is Li Muen, what a good name!"

"Of course, this is the name given to me by the teacher in the school. Master, don't worry, I will study hard and have a bright future, so that you can enjoy the happiness."

The tobacco that Old Man Li smoked was not good quality tobacco, but the tobacco foam sold by a small vendor near the construction site. This stuff was very small and strong, suitable for people who do hard work.

Li Muen was lighting a match. Old man Li came over and took two puffs. Then he used his thumb to press down the expanding cigarette foam. His hands were covered with calluses, so he was not afraid of the burn.

After exhaling a puff of pungent and slightly blue smoke, Old Man Li coughed twice, then smiled and said, "Great, my grandson will learn to read and write, and he will be able to hold a high position and ride a fine horse in the future. Grandpa will benefit from you and enjoy the happiness."

Li Muen ate a few more pieces of meat, looked at the plate, and saw that there was about half of it left. He pushed the plate towards his grandfather, "I've had enough of my portion, Grandpa, you should eat too. Don't just drink, you should also eat meat. Grandpa, studying is not for becoming an official, nor is becoming an official to make a fortune. Young people like us have to transform the world in the future, so that everyone can read, everyone has work to do, and everyone has food to eat. In this way, everyone can enjoy happiness. Even if you are an official, you have to work for the people and serve the people!"

Old man Li answered subconsciously: "I don't like eating meat, I don't like..."

Then he was stunned again, obviously stunned by his grandson's "profound remarks".

"Sun, what are you talking about? If an official has to work for the people, what's the point of being an official?"

"Sir, this job doesn't really require you to dig the ground. It's for the consideration of the people and to do things for them."

Old man Li laughed in silence, "Sun, you have always worked for higher-ranking officials, but who will work for the common people?"

Li Muen's face was tense. "Master, let me ask you, did Lin Dongjia do something for us? We had no place to live, so he built a shack for us. I heard that brick houses were being built in the west, and we could live there in the future! We had nothing to eat, so he made us work, gave us money and food. We were young and had no books to read, so he sent Mr. Zhou to build a school and hired teachers. Did he do something for us?"

"Hey, hey, Master Lin is a good man..."

"So we have to learn to be good people too!"

Old man Li was stunned, as if he was struck by lightning.

He had never thought about this question before, but after hearing what his grandson said today, it was as if the door to a new world had opened for him.

The grandson was now in high spirits, and seemed to want to tell everyone what he had learned.

"Master, think about it. We were starving to death in our hometown, but did anyone care about us? Did anyone give us a grain of food? But now, Lin Dongjia not only gives us food, he even considers whether the workers need to take a bath, whether the workers are sick, and whether the workers need to rest once a week. Why? He treats us as human beings! But this world does not treat us as human beings. The landlords, the evil gentry, the reactionary warlords, and the devils!"

Old man Li was terrified and quickly covered his grandson's mouth. "I don't know what kind of books you have read, but you can't say such things. It will bring disaster to Master Lin!"

The grandson pushed his hand away and smiled slyly, "I know, the teacher has taught us. Grandpa, I am here to protect you today. I will definitely not say anything outside."

"You can't tell me even if you're guarding me!"

Old man Li did not do any special job or have an extraordinary sense of confidentiality, but his troubled life made him develop a cautious style.

He pushed the pork head meat to his grandson again, "Okay, after talking for so long, hurry up and eat. I don't like meat. If you can't finish it, I'll fry it for you in the evening. I'll buy two sesame cakes outside and you can eat it with them when the time comes, okay?"

Li Muen drooled when he heard it, "Master, we need to add some chili..."

Old man Li laughed. That's right. At a young age, it's time to indulge in food and drink. Why think about those great principles?

As the grandparents and grandchildren were talking, there was a noise outside.

"The boss is here to see us! The boss is here to see us!"

Li Muen rushed out, and Old Man Li hurried out to see.

Lin Ze did come to the construction site accommodation area, but he didn't come to distribute benefits. There were tens of thousands of people, and it was impossible to distribute them all one by one.

However, Lin Ze still has to visit some key households, which can be regarded as a visit and condolences before the festival.

But everyone has never seen this!

Today, Lin Ze was not arrogant or ostentatious. He even changed the bearskin coat he used to wear when going out into a tweed coat, paired with a uniform and military boots. Well, for him, this was considered a simple and frugal life.

People came out to see what was happening. They saw Uncle Lin walking on the road to the accommodation area. There was water splashed by someone nearby, which had frozen into ice after being frozen all night.

Everyone felt very embarrassed. If they had known the boss was coming, they would have stayed up all night yesterday to clean the road. If not just paving it with stone slabs, they would have at least covered it with sand!

Lin Ze greeted everyone with a smile. When he passed by Li Muen, he touched his head twice and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Li Muen, who was talking incessantly just now, was dumbfounded!

“Eat…eat! Mr. Lin, it’s really you!”

"Well, you've never seen me before? Today I saw me alive!"

Everyone laughed and felt warm in their hearts. Who had ever spoken to them like this before?

The boss gave them a way to make a living, but he never acted superior to them. Now, everyone is not afraid of Master Lin, but respects and supports him from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Muen stood at attention, tears welling up in his eyes, "Boss! Without you, my grandfather and I would have starved to death on the road. You gave me books to read, and I will definitely study hard to serve the boss, the country, and the people..."

Lin Ze patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good, you have great ambition!"

Looking around, someone naturally came up to explain the situation.

It turned out that this guy was one of the refugees who robbed the grain truck. Now this group of people are considered the "veterans" of the construction site.

Lin Ze took out a fountain pen he carried with him and handed it to Li Muen. "I've remembered what you said. This is for you. Study hard and exercise more. In two years, I'll let you come to work for me. Okay?"

Everyone's eyes on Li Muen changed instantly!

My goodness, what kind of status does Master Lin have, what kind of ability does he have, and what kind of financial resources does he have. If this kid catches Master Lin's eye, he will definitely be very successful in the future!

Old man Li was shaking with excitement in the back.

Smoke is coming out of my Li family’s ancestral grave!
