Chapter 472: Chatting at home
...Although my mother's life is very difficult, compared to rural women who are exposed to the sun and rain, as a teacher, because she spends more time in the classroom and office, she does not suffer too much from the wind and frost. Although she does not have much maintenance,
But it’s not as old as I thought.△
"Yes, Mom! Put it on quickly and let me see it!" Liu Fei said happily beside her.
Encouraged by her children, Song Xiangmei actually liked this dark red coat and quickly put it on.
"Mom, once you put on this dress, you look at least ten years younger!" Liu Dong did not hesitate to praise his mother.
"Just to make Mom happy, your Mom is already fifty-two this year!" Although she said this, the smile on her mother's face was brighter than ever.
"Brother, where is my gift? Where is my gift?" Liu Fei hugged Liu Dong's arm and asked softly.
"Don't worry, no one can forget my precious sister!" As he said that, Liu Dong also took out a pink Hermès coat and the latest CD player and handed them to Liu Fei.
"Brother, is this a CD?" Liu Fei said happily, flipping through the round machine that was about the same size as a disk in her hand.
She had seen one of her classmates holding one before, and the sound quality was several times better than that of a tape recorder. She was once very envious and wanted to own one! Now she finally got her wish!
"Well, it's a CD! There are also these!" Liu Dong took out another pile of disks!
"Wow, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and my favorite Richard Clayderman. All are commemorative collector's editions!" Liu Fei exclaimed.
Perhaps she was influenced by her parents since childhood. Liu Fei has a strong interest and extraordinary talent in piano and musical instruments. She is especially obsessed with piano, and her current level has long surpassed that of her mother!
Therefore, in order to fulfill his sister's wish, Liu Dong spent a lot of time collecting these precious piano soundtracks. Now seeing his sister's surprise, all the hard work is worth it!
"Like it?"
"I like it, thank you brother!" Liu Fei said in surprise.
"Haha, just like it! By the way. My brother bought the latest Steinway Grand Triangle in Quancheng and wanted to give it to you. Unfortunately, it's too heavy and inconvenient to carry. There's no place to put it at home, so I just kept it.
I’m in Quancheng. When you have a holiday in the future, you can go over and play as you like!"
"Really?" Liu Fei said in surprise. Anyone who loves piano doesn't like the Steinway Grand Triangle! This is the real 'King of Pianos'!
"Of course, brother won't lie to you!"
"Brother, you are so kind, you are really my brother!" As she said this, Liu Fei put down the CD and disk in her hand and jumped onto Liu Dong's back!
"Come on down, you crazy girl, you're so old and you're not even ready yet!" Liu's mother scolded her quickly and pulled her daughter off Liu Dong's body.
Next, in addition to the coat just now, Liu Dong also brought back some warm cashmere sweaters, shirts for his father, cosmetics for his mother, shoes for his sister, school bags and a lot of other supplies.
Finally, Liu Dong walked in holding a large rectangular flat box.
"Brother, is there a TV inside?" Liu Fei looked at the decoration outside the box and said in surprise.
In the past, when Liu Dong was still at home, one of the things he and his sister looked forward to most was to have a TV at home, even if it was just the smallest screen, even if it was black and white. Unfortunately, until Liu Dong left home, he
This wish was not realized, so when he came back this time, he went to the largest department store in Quancheng and bought a 35-inch LCD TV from Skyworth.
Of course, the LCD at this time was not as thin as it would be in the future, and even the image effects were not as good as later, but if it were placed in Liu Dong's hometown, it would definitely be what ordinary people call a 'diorama'!
Because there was no extra table at home, Liu Dong had to ask his mother to dismantle the sewing machine and put the TV on it.
"Wow, what a big screen, much bigger than what Huo Jingjing and her family have at home!" Liu Fei touched the LCD TV that Liu Dong had just moved out with her little hands and exclaimed.
"Feifei, don't touch it, your hands are so dirty!" Liu's mother scolded.
"Mom, my hands are clean!" After pouting and resisting, he quickly turned his head and asked, "Brother, can I watch TV?"
"Haha, of course it can! But we have to put up the antenna first!" Liu Dong is actually more like closing the circuit, so that he can receive more stations and be clearer, but this will take time. So now he can only ask for help
to the antenna.
Finally, Liu's father dug out a tree trunk about five meters long from home, then asked Liu Dong to tie the inserted antenna to it, bury it underneath and fix it, and then began to debug the TV.
However, after searching for a long time, except for CCTV, the other TV stations that could be seen clearly were basically provincial TV stations, and the total number was less than twenty, which made Liu Dong very bored.
However, these dozen or so channels alone made my parents and younger sister unable to take their eyes off the show.
"Xiaodong, what kind of TV is this? Why is it so clear?"
"Mom, this is LCD!"
"LCD?" Song Xiangmei obviously didn't understand this.
"Mom and Dad, you guys watch TV first, I'll go cook!" Liu Dong took off his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and said.
"Oh, son! It's such a cold day, why did you take off your clothes!...Why are you only wearing a shirt? What should I do if I'm freezing?" As she said this, Liu Dong's mother not only gave him the clothes that Liu Dong had just taken off.
Put it on, it looks like we need to find a few more thick cotton-padded jackets for him.
"Mom...Mom!" Liu Dong quickly grabbed his mother who was rushing into the room to find clothes. Liu Dong comforted her, "Mom, you know I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. This temperature is nothing!"
"It's nonsense. No matter how great your kung fu is, you are still a human being. How can you not be afraid of the cold?" After saying this, Mother Liu turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Seeing this, Liu Dong shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew that no matter how much he explained, it would not work with his mother.
Sure enough, after a while, the mother came out with a black men's down jacket that looked like it had never been worn before. She put it on Liu Dong without saying anything, "This was given to your dad by the school last time. I keep it all the time."
I didn’t wear it yet, so I thought of giving it to you!”
"Then let my dad wear it. I have a lot of thick clothes!" Liu Dong said with a warm feeling in his heart and a little moisture in the corners of his eyes.
"Put it on. Your mother left this specially for you. I originally wanted to send it to you, but it's a pity that you didn't tell us where you live!" Liu Jianqing said with a smile.
After listening to his father's words, Liu Dong no longer resisted his mother's action of dressing him. Even if he couldn't wear it, just to reassure his mother, he had to do it.
Next, seeing that Liu Dong didn't wear much clothes on his legs, Liu Dong's mother wanted to get him a pair of cotton pants, but Liu Dong's suggestion of cooking first, in the name of being hungry, finally moved Liu Dong's mother.
Afterwards, the family, which had not been reunited for more than three years, happily prepared a reunion dinner.
The family picked vegetables, chopped meat, and stir-fried. The family was busy for more than an hour, and finally the table was filled. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when the meal was finished.
After a brief tidying up, Liu Dong briefly talked about his experiences abroad for more than three years when asked by his parents. Of course, Liu Dong didn't talk about the most painful part in order to avoid making his parents sad.
Moreover, Liu Dong also deliberately omitted most of the things about his business. But despite this, he could still hear his mother crying uncontrollably, which comforted Liu Dong for a while. In the end, he was even more surprised that his son was now rich.
.
"Brother, so you are now a multimillionaire?" Liu Fei said happily.
"Well, that's right!" Liu Dong nodded.
"Brother, you are amazing!" Looking at his sister's admiring eyes, Liu Dong smiled. For him, becoming a multimillionaire has long been a thing of the past. However, in order not to surprise his parents too much or even find it difficult to accept, Liu Dong
I still think it’s better to start as a multi-millionaire.
After all, his rise was too short. It is easy for his parents to have bad associations.
"Mom and Dad, the money your son is making now is enough to support you! So why don't you just quit your job and go to the city with me?" Liu Dong revealed his plan again.
"Let your mother go with you first. Your mother's health is not very good, and she should retire in three years. It's better to retire early now!" Liu Jianxing looked at his wife and said.
Liu Dong knew that his mother was in poor health, and she suffered from it when he was born. So when he came back this time, in addition to wanting to bring his parents to live with him in the city, he also hoped to use acupuncture to treat them.
Parents should treat their teachers’ occupational diseases, such as pharyngitis, lumbar muscle strain, etc.!
"What about you, dad?" Liu Dong asked.
"I still have to wait!"
Seeing her son's frowning face, Song Xiangmei explained with a smile: "Your dad is currently teaching the second grade of junior high school. He must want to send this class of students away before he considers retirement!"
Regarding her husband's mentality, Song Xiangmei, who has been married for decades, knows best.
"Haha!" Liu Jianxing smiled and nodded, "Everything must have a beginning and an end. Since I am the class teacher, I have to be responsible for the students! I can't give up halfway!"
After listening to his father's words, Liu Dong knew that this time, his idea of taking his parents with him and settling in Quancheng would definitely come to nothing.
Sure enough, just after Liu's father finished speaking, Song Xiangmei said: "Xiaodong, my parents know that you are filial, but your father and I still have to be teachers for a few more years!"
"Hey, why don't you just go with your child?" Liu Jianxing said.
Hearing this, Song Xiangmei rolled her eyes at her husband and said angrily: "If I leave, you will be alone, you can't cook, and you can't wash your clothes. How will you live your life?"
Hearing that his wife had no scruples in exposing herself in front of her children made Liu's father feel very embarrassed. "Isn't there a canteen in the school? It's just about washing clothes. Just learn how to do it!"
"Huh, forget it! I don't know you yet!"
The mother's disdain made Liu Dong and his sister laugh.
Later, after Liu Dong tried to persuade his parents to no avail, he stopped talking. Anyway, now that his hometown has been connected to a highway, he has his own car, and coming back is not as troublesome as before. At most, he feels homesick. , just run more errands.
