The story of the boss after retirement

Everything went smoothly. During the last few days in Taiwan, Li's parents' schedule became to accompany Li Wei to look at houses. They were worried about Li Wei looking at houses by herself. After all, they had a few more years of living and had more experience. Even though Li Wei was already 27 years old, in their hearts, she was still a child. The world is dangerous, and they had to keep a close eye on Li Wei.

"Sister, you are so awesome. Now you have enough money to buy a house in full." Li Lin has been very comfortable staying in Taiwan these days. He is a typical otaku. When he comes out to play on vacation, except for asking Gu Xiao to accompany him to the otaku street to buy figures, he stays in the hotel all the time. If it weren't for Li's mother asking them to go out together, he would just want to stay in the hotel and play games.

It is so nice to play games in the hotel, with 24-hour air conditioning and order takeout when you are hungry. He brought his computer with him this time, otherwise it would be so boring. He has no great interest in those tourist attractions. As long as the food is delicious, he can do whatever is convenient. Of course, Li Lin still took a few photos and posted them on WeChat Moments, which received a lot of likes and satisfied his vanity a little.

This time when Li Lin went to Taiwan, Gu Xiao bought him the latest game console, and all the action figures that Gu Xiao liked, Gu Xiao also bought them. Li Lin has decided that he is his brother-in-law. When they were in the Otaku Street, Li Lin kept calling him brother-in-law, and Gu Xiao felt happy to hear that. Whenever Li Lin looked at him a few more times, Gu Xiao would swipe his card, and his swiping posture was so handsome.

"You can too. You make games, and your games sell well, so you must have received a lot of bonuses, right?" Li Lin is the original artist of a game development company. The company's games were very popular after they were released, and their team received a lot of bonuses.

"Sister, my business is just a small one. Housing prices are so expensive. I'm nothing like you. You earn millions or tens of millions from a novel. My money is for my wife!"

The wife that Li Lin refers to is the action figures of his favorite game characters. His room is basically filled with action figures, but this is his personal hobby and his family members will not interfere too much. Only Li's mother would occasionally nag him, asking why he still buys toys like he did when he was a child and whether he has grown up yet.

"You have enough wives, so buy fewer. Your company's games will continue to be developed, and your original painting team will get bonuses. Just save for three to five years, and you'll have the money." Li Wei and Li Lin were chatting and arguing, so Gu Xiao didn't participate in this battle between the siblings. Although he stood on Li Wei's side, he couldn't offend his brother-in-law, so it was better for him to keep quiet.

Mr. Li has not retired yet and receives a monthly salary. Mrs. Li has retired and receives a monthly pension. The family has two houses. Since Li Wei became financially independent, she first gave Mrs. Li a sum of money. She also gives Mr. and Mrs. Li three thousand yuan every month, and tens of thousands of yuan during festivals.

Li Lin doesn't need to give any household expenses. His monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan. The bulk of the money comes from project completion bonuses, performance bonuses, and year-end bonuses. The company provides food and accommodation, so he can save at least 100,000 yuan a year. However, 50,000 yuan of this 100,000 yuan is spent on his "wife". Li Wei is a little helpless.

In fact, Li's mother never asked Li Wei and Li Lin for household expenses, but Li Wei felt that she was able to give it, and the money was just a small amount. Li's mother had urged Li Wei to work before, one reason was to give Li Wei a stable job so that she could enter the blind date market, and the other was that the family was going to build a house in their hometown at that time, and Li Wei's younger brother had not graduated yet, so there was a lot of financial pressure.

Because she noticed that Li's mother cared about money, Li Wei gave her "pocket money" every month, just like she had pocket money since she was a child. When Li's mother received the money from Li Wei, she did not spend it, but opened a passbook and saved it. Her daughter gave her money because she loved her, and she saved the money because she loved her daughter. The emotions were mutual.

"Host, money is really important to humans." 7788 muttered as he watched the brothers falling out over money on the TV screen.

Li Wei has been staying in the hotel with her mother these days, leaving Wei Yu and 7788 at home. They all sit on the sofa and watch TV. The TV programs cover a wide range of topics, including melodrama, entertainment, suspense, documentaries, etc.

When Li Wei was not around, 7788 spoke directly with the ragdoll cat's body. Although it was not as good as direct message exchange, it seemed very interesting. It was also nice to occasionally return to this form of expressing language using the body. 7788 had been in this world for a long time, and it also liked the feeling of being on vacation. It was so relaxing and nice.

"Humans believe that money can buy daily necessities, including food, houses, cars, etc. Money is the embodiment of human desires. It can be said that money is indispensable to human life, because food, clothing, housing and transportation all require exchange, and money is a symbol of transaction." Wei Yu said lightly.

"But money just exists. Everyone has a different view of it. In fact, the more people value money, the less they have it."

"Why? Isn't it true that the more people value money, the richer they are?" 7788 was puzzled.

“The more people lack something, the more they care about it. People who lack money have less money, and people who lack love have less love. Because of the lack, they desire it, but this desire makes people even poorer. Money flows to those who have enough money, and people who have enough love are surrounded by love.”

Wei Yu recalled the many worlds he had experienced. In fact, life is just a game, or a book, a script. The whole world is a makeshift team, very rough. It is just a soul that has been washed away of spirituality, blinded by this illusion, and deeply trapped in it, wasting a lifetime for these seemingly desired things but in fact boring things.

People live in the world, and they pursue a meaning in everything they do. If there is no meaning in existence, there is no point in doing anything. So why do we still do this? Some people pursue profit, some pursue love, some love power, and some just want to find out the truth of life and return to the perfect origin of life.

Wei Yu has been through so many worlds, and she has experienced that feeling of perfection, but she didn't stay there for long, because she still has this worldly heart. If she has obsessions, she will eliminate them. Wei Yu's obsession is herself. Wei Yu wants to help herself break free from the cage, live out her style, and be happy. Isn't the purpose of life to be happy? Who is reborn to suffer?

There are many spiritual people in the quick-travel bureau. Once many people become gods, they break free from their constraints and are no longer in this position. Those who are obsessed stay. Demigods are the most powerful, because being a god is a state. God will not define good and bad. You can give it to him if you want. Good and bad are defined by people.

Wei Yu and 7788 were watching TV and chatting aimlessly, while Li Wei booked a house in just a few days. Wei Yu had also seen this house. It was a 160-square-meter flat with three bedrooms, a study, a gym, a large kitchen and a living room. It had a convenient location and the surrounding greenery was also nice. It was worth buying.

Li Wei doesn't often use the gym, so she can transform it into a physiotherapy room for her mother. Some simple physiotherapy equipment can be installed. She can do moxibustion at home. Her mother knows where the common acupoints are. This is what it means to become a doctor through long-term illness.

These days, Gu Xiao was busy running around, and Li's mother was very satisfied seeing it. Li Lin's vacation was over, and Li Wei would go home in a few days because of the house purchase, and then she would pick up Li's mother to come to Taiwan for treatment. Li's mother and Gu Xiao said goodbye to each other at the airport.

"Xiao Gu, you and Weiwei should go back first. Li Lin is here. You've worked hard these past few days. You look thinner."

"Auntie, it's okay. I'll stay with you for a while. I haven't lost weight and I haven't been tired these days. But you should take care of yourself. When we are in Taiwan, I will accompany you wherever you want to go." Gu Xiao was overjoyed when he got the affirmation from Li's mother. He was so happy that his mother-in-law had no objection.

Li Wei saw the scene of loving mother and filial son and said she couldn't bear to watch it. She hadn't thought about getting married yet. From the look of her mother, it seemed that she had already decided on her son-in-law. Li Wei didn't realize that her thoughts had changed. What she was thinking about now was that it was not time to get married, not that she didn't want to get married.

A frog in boiling water will eventually be cooked no matter how slow it is. Time passed quickly. Li Ma went to Taiwan for treatment, and Gu Xiao flew from Singapore to Taiwan every week. As the two of them came into contact more, Li Ma completely recognized Gu Xiao's character. She urged Li Wei not to miss the opportunity. However, Li Ma's words almost backfired and made Li Wei give up the idea of ​​getting married.

Fortunately, Mother Li only lived in Taiwan for half a year. As soon as the half year was up, she couldn't wait to go back to Hexian. The dragon bed is not as good as the doghouse. She still felt that the county town where she grew up was comfortable. Gu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He could also feel the influence of Mother Li on Li Wei. The mother-in-law is important, but the wife is the one who will accompany you for a lifetime.

While Li's mother was receiving treatment in Taiwan, Gu Xiao's parents also flew over specially. Everyone met each other. Li's mother was very satisfied with Gu Xiao's parents. Such a family, such appearance and character were really top-notch. Li's mother also started nagging Li Wei, saying that she was 28 years old and should consider getting married, and that the sooner she had a baby, the sooner she would recover. The idea of ​​having a baby made Li Wei not want to get married for a while.

"Mom is finally home." Li Wei lay on the sofa, lazily and comfortably. When her mother Li was at home, if she did anything out of the ordinary, she would be reminded by her mother. When there was hair on the floor, her mother would remind her to pick it up. Li Wei has not lived a carefree life in the past six months.

"Weiwei, you have worked hard. Kiss." Gu Xiao also lay down, turned around and kissed Li Wei on the cheek. With his mother-in-law here, he hasn't had much meat in the past six months. Every time Li's mother talked about getting married and having children when you are older, Li Wei's face didn't look very good. Gu Xiao knew that this was Li Wei's sore spot. He watched from the side with fear, but since this was his mother-in-law, he couldn't say anything. He could only wait until Li's mother left before he could appease Li Wei and prevent her from being angry with his mother-in-law and leaving him.

"Do you think you must have children after getting married?" Li Wei asked suddenly. She looked at Gu Xiao. She just wanted to know what Gu Xiao thought.

As soon as Gu Xiao saw Li Wei's eyes, he knew that when his mother-in-law returned, Wei Wei would start to settle accounts. It was clearly his mother-in-law's fault, but he had to bear it. Sigh~

Gu Xiao sat up and thought for less than a minute before he said, "Weiwei, I want to marry you because I want to be with you for the rest of my life. In my opinion, marriage is the guarantee for us to be together. As for children, if you want to have them, we will have them. If you don't want to, that's fine too, because our life belongs to the two of us. Having children is just an extra experience. Without children, we will still be very sweet. There is no necessary connection between marriage and having children."

Gu Xiao knew that Li Wei was afraid of pain and did not dare to have children. There was no throne to inherit in his family. The matter of offspring depended on personal wishes and fate, and there was no need to force it.

Li Wei looked at Gu Xiao steadily. She knew that Gu Xiao was serious. Satisfied, Li Wei stretched out her arms and said coquettishly, "Hold me."

Gu Xiao picked up Li Wei obediently, "Then Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Do something happy." Li Wei gently bit Gu Xiao's ear.

"Don't be so excited! Don't use so much force. I have a dinner date with Wei Yu tomorrow."

"If you push it, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"Gu Xiao!"
