Fat Liu and Ji Lao are one of the few small vendors who have settled in Antique Street. Although they do not have shops here, they have their own houses.
No matter where they are, as long as they have real estate in Mo, they are rich. Even in this shabby antique street, a two-story building that looks inconspicuous is worth millions.
Ji Lao said earnestly: "You guys need to be more thoughtful. Even though he is your father, you can't give all of your salary to him. If I provide money to support your father in his old age, I won't say anything.
After all, filial piety must be fulfilled, but I don’t think it’s worth using your money to support your brother.”
Even Fat Liu couldn't stand it anymore and said: "In my opinion, your brother should be allowed to go home and farm. He is so ambitious that he cannot be down-to-earth and keeps his eyes on the top of his head. Such a person is even a college graduate."
If you lose your career, you won't be able to get ahead.
You are not young, and you usually make a lot of money, but your life is too bad, so you have to eat and drink, and you are poor only if you don't calculate. Your fat brother didn't tell you to be stingy in the future.
But it makes you feel confident."
"I understand, Fat Brother. After today, I will no longer be me. I will live for myself from now on." Han Peacock spoke to Fat Liu, but it was more like a promise to himself.
"That's good. Explain it clearly to your father. In the future, you will also buy a house and marry a wife. It won't work if you don't have money." Ji Lao stopped holding Han Kongque.
Han Peacock walked into the alley and was faced with a wooden gate. The door was open during the day. The yard was not very big because it had two small buildings. However, the small yard, which was only about 60 square meters, was full of plants.
Adding vegetables makes this small yard vibrant and full of vitality.
Han Kongque pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the steps of the main room in the north.
This is a typical small courtyard, facing south. In the square is a two-story building with five rooms on each side and three basements below. Han Jianguo is sitting on the steps leading to the basement.
The west side is facing the street. The house was originally quite large, but six facade rooms were built on the west side of the house, so the yard became a lot smaller.
"You don't know that I'm here to get money today? Give it to me quickly, your brother will have to wait impatiently." Seeing Han Peacock, Han Jianguo immediately asked for money.
"I have no money." Han Kongque said with a bitter smile.
This is really his biological father. He doesn’t even ask if he is doing well when he meets him. He just asks for money when he meets him!
Thinking about his decision and what Ji Lao and Fat Liu said just now, it was obvious to outsiders that he could never live a sweet dream life anymore.
"Aren't wages paid today? Boss, you are a bad person and you actually know how to hide your wages." Han Jianguo looked dissatisfied.
Hearing this, Han Kongque laughed: "I actually know how to hide my salary? I actually know how to hide my salary? Isn't this too ridiculous? I am already twenty-eight years old this year. I am twenty-nine years old. People in the village are like me.
I'm so old, my kids are running all over the place, and I've just learned how to hide my salary?
Am I too stupid? And let me tell you, Dad, I still sadly haven’t learned how to hide my salary. This is my salary for this month, but I only have two hundred yuan left."
"Two hundred yuan? Don't lie to me. Come up with it quickly. Your monthly salary is three thousand yuan, not a penny less. As for your bonus, I won't give it to you. Don't go too far." Han Jianguo said fiercely.
The way.
Han Kongque looked at this middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face. He would visit him on the 16th of every month and take away all his salary.
Throughout the year, he only saw him twelve times, so they should be very familiar with each other, after all, they were father and son.
But now when Han Kongque looked at him, he seemed a little strange. Their relationship was even worse than strangers.
"Dad, the third child has graduated, right? I said before that after he graduates, I will no longer give you money. Not only will I not give you money in the future, but when I marry a wife and build a house, you will also want to
Give me responsibility.
Although this makes people blush, I am not the only one who does this. Is my request not too much? Whose son in our village does not have a house built by his parents? Whose son does not have a daughter-in-law whose parents paid for it?
"
Suddenly Han Jianguo was speechless and speechless. When did his eldest son become so eloquent?
Han Kongque didn't think much about it. He continued: "I have been working in the fields with you since I was four years old. I didn't graduate from middle school at the age of fourteen, so I went out to work to earn money. It's been fourteen years now, and I haven't given you enough for thirty years."
Wan is already 200,000, right?
Is 200,000 enough for me to get a wife? After giving my family so much money, if I still can’t get a wife, it’s not that you are dissatisfied, but that I will be dissatisfied.”
Han Kongque is not a temperless person. This is his father. If he is an outsider, do you dare to speak to him loudly?
This is his father, who stepped on his scalp and shit, but now he can't let him go. From now on, he will not live for anyone anymore, he will live for himself.
"Why are you so anxious about getting a wife? Now give me last month's salary first. When the third child finds a job, I won't need your small money. You have the nerve to say that you only earned two or three hundred thousand in fourteen years. You
If my second brother works, he can earn your salary for more than ten years in one year. It's okay if you don't have the ability. But don't hold your second brother back. Hurry up, it's three thousand fast, and you can't miss a penny."
Han Jianguo had already promised his second son to send the money before noon today. Unexpectedly, the eldest son, who was usually very easy to coax, actually refused to send the money today.
Han Peacock is really angry, he has no ability?
Indeed, his current monthly salary of only three thousand yuan is not much, but it is not too little either. These salaries are not what ordinary students who have just graduated from college can earn, right?
What can a third-rate university graduate like his second brother do to earn two to three hundred thousand a year?
Even if he sells his kidneys, he won't be able to earn that. I really don't know what drugs his father took to believe such a lie. But considering the second brother's sweet words, it's not difficult to deceive his father.
But Han Kongque would never let his second brother get his wish again. It turned out that he didn't care about it, but now he had to care about it. If this continues, his second brother will go to heaven.
So Han Peacock said directly: "Aren't you in a hurry to get a wife? Dad, I am the eldest son of the family. Excuse me, have you prepared a new house for me now? Well, the new house is my extravagant wish. You will always give me the old house.
Can you spare a room for me? Can you spare a shabby house for me to get married?"
Han Peacock looked at his father sadly, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
Han Jianguo was stunned by Han Peacock's question. The custom in the village is that fathers build houses for their sons. Some filial children will give the money they earn after working to their families to help them build a house for themselves.
Some selfish people, however, use their little salary and do not give any part of it to their parents, and let their parents bear all the money for building a house and marrying a wife. They are a genuine group of people who chew on their elders.
It's not that he didn't know what Han Kongque said. The children of the young men in the village who were about the same age as his eldest son were all five or six years old. They were married in accordance with national laws. Those who married young had their sons in middle school.
In his family, Han Kongque is the eldest, with two brothers and two sisters. Since he has two sons in school, he even earns the tuition fees for the two boys, not to mention building a house.
Usually, the money Han Jianguo earns from tending the orchard at home is used for living expenses for his two sons. Now, his family really can't spare a room for the eldest son to get married.
His family is a typical rural courtyard house. The main room is used as the main square for the elderly care of Han Kongque's grandparents. Han Jianguo has three brothers. Their parents take turns to support them. It is his turn to take care of them every two months.
All the elderly must live in the main house.
There are three rooms in the east room, which are the residence of Han Jianguo and his wife, the west room is the room of his two daughters, and the south room is where his two sons who go to school go home during the holidays, but his eldest son has no place to stand at home.
Han Kongque knew the situation at home very well. Since he left home at the age of fourteen, he has never gone home to stay for a night. It has been more than ten years since he left home. It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but that he has no place to go back.
live.
Even if it is an empty house, people are not willing to let his eldest son stay for one night, because it is owned by an owner. Han Jianguo treasures his two younger sons, their things, and the room. Naturally, Han Peacock cannot occupy it.
As for Han Kongque's two girls' boudoir, Han Kongque naturally had no shame to live in it. Of course, he didn't have to think about his grandparents' house.
If he goes home, he can only live with his parents, but since he started helping the family at the age of four, his parents have not allowed him to get close to him. Sometimes Han Peacock wonders if he is the biological child of his parents.
.
"I'm tired. Dad, if you want to take a rest, come in and sit for a while. If you don't want to sit, I won't let you stay." Han Peacock really didn't have the energy to deal with his relatives.
Even if he didn't have a family, he didn't even look like his relatives now. Han Kongque felt a chill in his heart, which kept rising and couldn't be stopped no matter how hard he tried.
"Why are you so anxious about getting a wife? Don't let this word get out. If it gets out, people will think that our Han family has a daughter-in-law fan!" Han Jianguo held it in for a while and then said this.
Han Kongque almost laughed angrily, and said: "I'm not in a hurry, so from now on, I won't give you any more money. I'll get married when I save enough money."
Don’t be afraid that I won’t take care of you in the future. When you and your mother can no longer work together and need our support, it may be better for the three of us brothers to contribute together or to live in three families in turns. Even if you two elders will follow me from now on.
Live, I have no objection either.
But from now on, I can no longer give you my salary. I will start from now on, and with the level you have trained me in the past few years, I can save my monthly salary.
In this way, there are still 36,000 yuan per year. It only takes five years to save enough for a wife. Then you can go back to the countryside and marry a housewife. Isn’t it too urgent to marry a wife at the age of thirty-three? It’s not too early, right? You
The old man definitely doesn’t want me to take a wife at the age of 43, right?”
"Brother, we haven't separated our families yet, right? What? Are you starting to think about saving money for your wife and building a small treasury now? Even if you marry a wife in the future, you have to get your father's consent. Isn't it too early to save money now?" No.
At some point, a young man dressed in white walked into the yard.
This is Han Guangrong, the second younger brother of Han Kongque. He is 1.78 meters tall and has fair skin. He is dressed in white casual clothes and white sneakers, which makes the young man look even more handsome.
Although he looks good, his words are harsh and sarcastic, which makes people angry.
