Xiaohuzi smiled bitterly: "Then I...I can take the train."
"Train tickets are even harder to buy." Cheng Tianyuan said indifferently: "If you stay on the train for two days and two nights, do you think you can stand it?"
This kid has never suffered before. He kept yelling about it for an hour or two, let alone a dozen hours' drive.
Xiaohuzi was embarrassed and looked depressed.
Cheng Tianyuan showed no mercy and said in a deep voice: "Submit both the bank card and your dad's ID card."
Seeing that he was serious, Xiaohuzi didn't dare to resist, so he was unwilling to take out his wallet from the inner bag of his coat, drew three bank cards and handed it to Cheng Tianyuan.
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and took it and asked, "Is there any?"
"...It's gone." Xiaohuzi whispered.
Cheng Tianyuan didn't believe it at all and said, "Identity card."
Xiaohuzi had no choice but to take out his father's ID card.
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at him and put them all into his inner bag.
"Go to wash and dress, my car parked downstairs."
Xiaohuzi curled his lips, knowing that Cheng Tianyuan has always been serious and is not the object of his ability to act coquettishly, so he could only bear it for the time being and wash up.
Half an hour later, Cheng Tianyuan took him downstairs to check out.
The sun was rising high outside in mid-air. Cheng Tianyuan glanced and said, "It's almost noon, let's go for lunch."
Xiaohuzi couldn't help but whisper: "I haven't had breakfast yet!"
"Do you think you still need breakfast?" Cheng Tianyuan mocked: "You can't even get lunch!"
Xiaohuzi: "..."
After getting on the bus, Cheng Tianyuan drove straight to Dongfangyuan.
On the way, he received a call from Cheng Huanran.
——Dad, since you have found Xiaohuzi, then we will go to the show ourselves. Grandpa and Uncle Zhilan went out to meet old friends, grandma ate the rest of the morning meal, so we all ate outside.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help asking: "What do you want to eat?"
——The younger brother and sister want to go to our school to play, but we are all on the bus now. There is a lot of food next to the school and the price is cheap. I will take them to eat whatever they want to eat later.
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Aren't they all on holiday? Are there people in the school?"
——There are so many people! Many senior and graduate students have not returned. People who work in scientific research projects occasionally cannot live without people in the laboratory for several years, so they cannot take holidays at all. The faculty and staff in the school, who stay overnight during the winter vacation, are these people
I also have to eat and drink every day. Except for the New Year, the shops outside the school are similar to those of ordinary times. The school’s library is also open. In the afternoon, I took my younger brother and sister to read books and surf the Internet.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled: "Okay, then you guys go and have fun."
After speaking, he hung up the call and put down his cell phone.
Xiaohuzi, who was standing beside him, glanced at him with a look of depression.
"Uncle Ayuan, why are you so biased? Your own children can play, but I can't play! Being favored one and the other! It's so unfair!"
Cheng Tianyuan pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "They are going to go to the library of the 'Medical University' to read books and surf the Internet in a few afternoons. Are you going to read books? Hum?"
Forehead?!
Xiaohuzi felt dizzy when he heard "book", let alone reading.
While driving, Cheng Tianyuan said, "You are a student now, and the main task of the student is to study. Do you know? Your mother has a high reputation in the southern writers' circle and is also a member of the Chinese Writers Association."
"I know!" Xiaohuzi muttered: "There are photos hanging in her study!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said, "Study hard and learn more like your parents!"
"Ha!" Xiaohuzi sneered: "My mother's tunes are not suitable for me! My father didn't study at all when he was young, I just wanted to learn from my father! Although my father didn't study much, the money he earned was my mother's.
Millions of times as many scholars as scholars! My mother writes and writes, publishes a book in two or three years, and each time it costs thousands of royalties. If we had to rely on her, we would have starved to death. Uncle, I don’t think there is anything good about studying and studying
!Isn’t it just for money when studying and finding a job? I might as well do business and make enough money!”
Cheng Tianyuan calmly circled the steering wheel and asked: "Have you made money? Do you know that making money requires hard work?"
Xiaohuzi rolled his eyes and disagreed.
Cheng Tianyuan said indifferently: "If you don't talk about your dad, then let's talk about your dad directly. Your dad lost his father when he was a child, and it was your grandmother who worked hard to pull him up. I heard from the aunt.
After that, he didn't like to study when he was a child, but the aunt refused and forced him to go to school to study. In order to earn tuition, your grandmother got up at around 4 o'clock every day and rested on the first day of the first lunar month all year round. Your dad felt heartbroken
My mother worked hard, and finally studied hard and completed her studies smoothly. At that time, few people could afford to study, and fewer people were studying. The best treatment was to work in a factory or unit and have a stable income. Your grandma asked for a lot.
With someone helping you, you finally found a position for your dad in the transportation brigade, with a salary of twenty yuan a month."
"Twenty yuan?" Xiaohuzi couldn't help but laughed.
Cheng Tianyuan continued: "With this salary, and your father is helping with his work at home sooner or later, the family has finally survived the most difficult time. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the aunt fell seriously ill and almost died. The doctor said
I can only go to the provincial capital for surgery, but the cost is several hundred yuan. In order to treat my old mother, your father sold his brand new bicycle and sold half of the land at home, and finally got enough money to perform surgery on the aunt."
"How many hundred yuan?" Xiaohuzi asked: "If you have to sell bicycles and floors for a few hundred yuan? How do you know?"
"Of course I know." Cheng Tianyuan replied: "It was all bought by my wife. It was difficult to make money, and it was even more difficult to make so much money at once. In order to save my old mother, I had to sell real estate and the most expensive bicycle in my family. At that time, your father picked it up.
After the money, tears flashed in your eyes. You have to spend more than a thousand to sleep in a luxurious suite overnight, but do you know? Your dad was so helpless that he cried for a few hundred dollars."
Xiaohuzi was silent and his eyes dimmed.
Cheng Tianyuan continued: "Later we opened a small shopping mall, and your father's life was getting better and better day by day. My wife went to the county town to sell clothes from the imperial capital. Your father made a dime and finally saved a sum of money. Who knew
He met a bad woman who cheated on marriage and took away your father's money and house. Your father was running around for more than a month to find her, but finally fell in bed and fell ill. Your grandmother was sad and worried, and she fell ill all of a sudden.
It was my wife and I who took the money to the hospital. After a few days of waiting, we finally rescued the person. When we make money, we earn a penny, how much can we save in a few years? When we lose it, it is a moment!
The feelings are gone, the money is gone, and the people are almost gone."
Xiaohuzi dodged his eyes a few times and whispered: "We don't know these... we don't know."
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly, "Maybe your dad can't bear to let you know. Later, your dad and Lingling cooperated to open a wholesale clothing store in the provincial capital. Your dad stayed there for several years. He carried a box of one or two hundred kilograms.
, the customers who deal with all kinds of difficulties, took a piece of clothing and occasionally handed him less than a cent. Every morning, he got up at around 4 o'clock and closed the store in the evening. For a long time, he watched it alone.
There was no one else to help the store. After several years, he finally made a little economic foundation."
Xiaohuzi frowned when he heard this, and seemed a little embarrassed.
"It turns out that my dad used to make money...it was so difficult!"
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "At that time, the market economy had just begun, and there were not many opportunities to make money. It was much harder than it is now. Have you ever made money? It was probably more than ten or twenty times harder than it is now."
Xiaohuzi was half-believing and half-doubted, and was silent again.
