Song Tan and the others gave up after seeing the excitement at the seventh cousin's house. Zhang Yanping also went to Dr. Xiao Guo to get a box of ointment and brought it back to Song Shuliang.
Give me a sweet date with a slap in the face.
They felt sorry for the seventh cousin and wanted to teach him a lesson. But to put it bluntly, the seventh cousin himself had ignored the relationship between father and son, so why would there be another dispute?
This little new year has passed in such a lively way.
Far away in Qincheng, in an old family compound in the old city, a middle-aged man of average height returned to a shared electric car and was walking home step by step.
He went up the stairs to the sixth floor neither quickly nor slowly. When he opened the door, his mother felt distressed and said, "Are you tired? How about we move to the first floor."
Chen Yuan smiled. It was such a winter, but there was a trace of sweat on his forehead. He changed his shoes and said, "Mom, it's okay. How long have I been doing this? It's normal to go up and down the stairs. Don't worry too much."
"But you can also change to the first floor. You and dad are getting older, and the installation of elevators promoted by the municipal government has not been implemented. I guess it is unlikely. It will be more convenient for you two to move to the first floor."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took off one of his shoes, revealing the cold gray metal feet inside.
The mother didn't answer the question and just said vaguely: "Besides, your dad and I are used to going up stairs, and we can still exercise. If we move to the first floor, the light is poor and it's humid. Maybe it will be better."
Not as good as now."
Even before I went into active duty due to injury, I didn’t even have a sum of money, which was enough for decoration.
One or two thousand a month is still money after all. If you think about starting a side job or something, you won't be able to ask your parents to worry so much at your age, right?
The top floor of their old community is not valuable at all. Even if it is sold for the full price, it will be worth 300,000 yuan.
Now even when I say those comforting words, the smile on my face is faint.
Outside the screen, the boy's voice was not quiet, and it sounded like a job introduction. His parents were standing aside at all times.
"There's something wrong." The father patted me on the shoulder: "His money needs to be moved, and you and his mother can still support him. After two years, you can get used to it and then talk to a partner. Before you buy a house and start a family, there will be no one.
Even though I have taken care of you, I am also worried.”
I bit the bullet and said, "No, none of my classmates told me that our company cannot withdraw."
[You have told them all about their situation. They agreed very readily. They are not guarding the farm. Don’t let them steal or do anything--]
"You take a video to show us the working environment - if the environment is like that, we have to follow that road all the way down the mountain..."
The moment I became a father, I was pleasantly surprised. But I had never had such an experience before, so I slowly asked: "What company? How much salary does it offer?"
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Dad, he is worried. Your future comrades are also helping you to find out. If there is news from us, you can go find a company to get off work."
Chen Yuan said nothing.
I was secretly cheering myself up when I saw several messages sent to me on my phone one after another, and the last eight messages were all videos.
The pressure my parents put on me from time to time was even more overwhelming than the class reunion.
"That's not a canteen. The chefs are all on vacation now, but the dining table doesn't have those disinfecting cupboards or our small stove... Those are cleaned up every day, and every meal is meat-free.
It’s not vegetarian, and the taste is definitely bad—Brother Du and Brother Yang don’t have many brothers, so he told people, when did our old Song family ever lack food?”
"That's a dormitory, and next to it is a seven-bed room. Look! It was just completed this summer. It's brand new! There's no bathroom, no wardrobe, no air conditioning, no washing machine... You'll pay for the water and electricity bills yourself, and food and accommodation are included..."
Chen Yuan watched the video silently, then stared at the several voice messages at the bottom, feeling that his parents were standing on one side, but he didn't dare to open any of them.
Chen Yuan didn't think much of it, thinking that brothers were sharing boring short videos, so he clicked on it.
In those days, my friends were actually quite cold-hearted and forwarded any job opportunities they saw to me.
That is not the heart of heavenly parents. They have no choice but to find ways.
But the cheapest house outside, even a two-bedroom house, is less than 500,000 yuan.
The video is very short, only about ten seconds. It was taken while sitting under an eight-wheeler. The woods on both sides and the empty land and bare branches on both sides of the hillside behind can be vaguely seen.
I have spoken.
My father's earnestness is visible to the naked eye. He does not want me to have a stable job now, so that the old couple can worry more, regardless of whether they are talking about a partner or making plans for the future.
Xin Xu was stunned, and then clicked on two other videos——
But... this kind of expression of regret and sympathy from everyone, as well as the pointing words before drinking seven ounces of wine, also made me happy.
I am 30 this year, I have a partner, I have a house and a car, and my job is said to be arranged by the local government, but in reality, the municipal government has to pay the salary... whether it is a raise or not.
This can only be done in some updated areas.
Unless they buy a house and get married, the couple will be willing to use their money anyway.
Is there anyone at the class reunion who has expressed disdain and humiliation to me? We are all former servants, so there are very few extreme thoughts.
At this moment, too, I stretched out my finger and clicked it firmly for a moment——
Because just thinking about it, I know that the kind of company only requires that the person is disabled and does not have a disability certificate. The salary is carefully set at one or two thousand yuan, and the purpose is not for certain policy benefits and tax avoidance...
Moreover, the roads in the old city are simple, and outside the big alleys, ambulances are driving back and forth. The elderly are young, and they have to consider this before changing houses.
I only heard a whistling wind outside, and I could see a small green bamboo forest, which became more and more rustling in the cold wind. No one spoke:
However, as an adult woman, Xin Xu has learned to put on the mask of indifference.
[Brother! Below is his working environment and accommodation conditions. You have to provide the food. He is used to eating the food of the Old Song family, so he can only go to the peach banquet. 】
Can……
My parents worked at a sanitation company and lived frugally all their lives. In fact, they saved a lot of money. Plus selling the house, the money was taken out.
For a while, both father and son were silent.
Can……
But I feel sorry for myself. I really don’t have much work. Even if someone hires me out of favor, my conditions will be bad.
Chen Yuan sighed.
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly.
He was secretly worried, but a water glass was handed to him behind his eyes, and the father Kuituntun sat under the sofa: "Is he attending the junior high school reunion tonight? Is there anything to say at the reunion?"
He knows what his parents mean.
300,000, even if you buy the first floor in the same area now, you can get it. What’s more, the first floor in the old area is really dark and dry.
