Chapter 689: Poor Lady Left Behind
Chen Wen secretly thought: Fortunately, Lao Tzu lived in this kind of ghost place before he was 6 years old, and at that time he only knew how to play, and he didn't know how to distinguish between good and bad conditions!
Chen Wen remembered that after he was in elementary school, his mother often said that when he was a child, his clothes would be wet, dirty and smelly every day. Now he understands that it should be when he lived in the tube building before the age of 6, Chen Wen always crawled in the corridor!
That's right, it's just rolling on the dirty and greasy ground like the one in front of him, Chen Wen came here like this when he was a child. Walking in the corridor of Ou Kelan's tube, Chen Wendu began to feel that his childhood was a little unbearable.
After walking through 6 or 7 stoves, Su Qianqian knocked on a door, and Ou Kelan's house arrived. The sound of chopping meat came from inside.
Chen Wen sighed, after Ou Kelan's mother went abroad, even if he wanted to have a little ambiguity with Ou Kelan, he would never want to hug her in such a place!
"Shallow, Chen Wen, please come in!" Ou Kelan opened the door and welcomed the two of them in.
"Qianqian, this is your boyfriend Chen Wen! Welcome! Auntie will make dumplings for you to eat!" A woman who looked to be in her 50s was chopping meat filling.
This is Okolan's mother. Chen Wen knew that her age was younger than his own parents, but the age of the woman in front of him was much older than Chen's father and Chen's mother.
"Auntie, I'll help!" Su Qianqian ran over.
"Hello Auntie, I'm Chen Wen!" Chen Wen stood up and said hello, the room was not large, he really didn't know where he should go, there was no sofa, no back chair, there seemed to be two or three stools.
"Okay, good!" Ou Kelan's mother beckoned, "Kelan, quickly move a stool for Chen Wen to sit on!"
Ou Kelan brought a square stool, and Chen Wen sat down against the wall. Su Qianqian and Ou Kelan ran to help with the work.
Chen Wen looked at it, the room area was about 20 square meters, which was only equivalent to seventy percent of the total area of his and Su Qianqiancai's large and small nests.
"Chen Wen, Auntie's house is too small, too simple, and the conditions are not good, don't mind!" Ou Kelan's mother said.
"Why, Auntie, don't say that. Chen Wen smiled, "When I was a child, my family also lived in a tube building, and I lived there for more than ten years." Later, in 87, my parents divided a one-bedroom apartment. ”
Chen Wen told a white lie, and it was true to live in a tube building, but he changed the two-bedroom and one-bedroom living room in the back street of the railway into a one-bedroom apartment, so that he could lower the conditions of his own home and take care of Ou Kelan's mother's mood.
"Oh, this kid is so sensible!" Ou Kelan's mother is not stupid, and she can hear Chen Wen's kindness.
"Tell me,
Auntie, you agreed with our suggestion. Chen Wen said with a smile, "When you go to the United States in the future, you will live in a big house with Ou Kelan's father!"
"Oh, thank you so much for this!" said Ou Kelan's mother, "We really can't help it, her father is ...... now I've been alone over there for too long, and I'm not in good spirits. ”
"Mom, with Chen Wen and Qianqian's help, and me, Dad and your difficulties will definitely be overcome!" Ou Kelan has taken over the work of chopping meat.
Su Qianqian helped Ou Kelan's mother: "Auntie, you have been busy for a long time, sit down and rest." ”
As soon as Ou Kelan's mother sat down, she was about to stand up immediately: "Shallow, you sit." There are only two stools in the house, and I sit on the bed. ”
Chen Wen's heart tightened for a while, the conditions of Ou Kelan's family were indeed too bad. He looked around, and there was only one TV in the house, which was still black and white. There is no refrigerator washing machine, and after looking at it for a long time, I found an appliance, which is a rice cooker.
"Auntie, it's okay, the difficulties are temporary, and the days will be better in the future, I can guarantee this, Ou Kelan will be my employee in the future, and I will take her to make a lot of money. Chen Wen smiled.
"Oh, Chen Wen, my family Kelan knows you and Qianqian, it's really God's eyes!" Ou Kelan's mother stood up, "I forgot to pour water for you!"
Su Qianqian had a life in her eyes, and hurriedly stopped Ou Kelan's mother, she found the cup and the boiling water bottle, poured a cup and handed it to Chen Wen.
The dumpling filling was adjusted, the noodles had woken up in advance, and the four of them began to make dumplings around the square table.
Making dumplings is the most suitable for chatting, and it is especially easy to get closer to each other when chatting.
Ou Kelan's mother told a lot about their family. Maybe it's because she's talking, maybe it's because no one has listened to her for too long, maybe it's because she's very grateful to Chen Wen and Su Qianqian, in short, she opened her heart and poured beans.
Ou Kelan's parents are two or three years younger than Chen Wen's parents and Su Qianqian's parents. The elder brothers and sisters in the family went to the countryside to cut the queue, so they didn't have to cut the queue, and stayed in Shanghai to get the opportunity to enter the factory.
Ou Kelan's parents got married in 1972 and gave birth to Ou Kelan in 73. In 79, the college entrance examination was resumed, and Ou Kelan's father was admitted to an undergraduate college in Shanghai, but Ou Kelan's mother was not admitted to the university and continued to work in the factory.
In the second half of 1981, Ou Kelan's father was admitted to the public international student and went to the United States in 1982. In 1984, her father graduated and didn't want to come back, and planned to struggle for 5 or 6 years to get a green card and take the mother and daughter to the United States. For some reason, the green card has never been successful.
Ou Kelan's father was a public international student, and the tuition and travel expenses were all paid
It was borne by the original unit, and he signed the agreement. Because he stayed in the United States illegally, he breached the contract and owed a large amount of money to the unit.
The unit could not go to the United States to find Ou Kelan's father to recover, so he could only find Ou's family and collect debts from Ou Kelan's mother. How can Ou Kelan's mother have so much money to pay off her debts, tens of thousands of dollars in the 80s, which is sky-high.
Ou Kelan's mother's attitude is very shameful: My husband went to the United States, and you said that he stayed illegally, who knows, if his life and death are unknown, will he be dead, you find the person first, and then we will file a lawsuit.
After coming and going, Ou Kelan's father was reported as a missing person. After a few years of disappearance, the domestic unit cancelled his household registration. This guy has neither a U.S. green card nor a Chinese household registration, just like he said to his wife on the phone at the beginning of this month, he has no Earth Globe registration.
When Ou Kelan's father went abroad, Ou Kelan was 9 years old. In the past ten years, Ou Kelan's mother has raised her daughter alone, endured all the hardships, and endured all the white eyes. She also has to be often subjected to some special interrogations, from relevant departments, because her husband stayed in the United States illegally.
Ou Kelan's parents are two or three years younger than Chen Wen and Su Qianqian's parents, but Ou Kelan's mother looks four or five years older, just because life is too hard.
If Ou Kelan's father hadn't gone abroad, then with the couple's gradually accumulated room points, they could get a better one-bedroom house around 1987 and be able to move out of the building.
But because of Ou Kelan's father's matter, more than half of the source of points was directly cut, which led to Ou Kelan's mother always being given a low score when grading. So every time the room is divided, it has nothing to do with Ou Kelan's mother.
The one-room room in which her family lives now was divided in 1975. This year is 1992 and I have lived there for 17 years.
Chen Wen knows the future history, if Ou Kelan's mother can't get a new house before 1998, then when their family participates in the housing reform in the future, there will be only such a room.
Ou Kelan's mother relied on her own single-worker salary to raise her daughter. She was not admitted to university or junior college after the resumption of the college entrance examination, her diploma is only junior high school, her professional title has not been evaluated, her salary is now only a fourth-level worker, and her treatment cannot go up, her living conditions are very poor, and she has only saved a few thousand yuan.
In the case of Ou Kelan's mother, she could not afford to go to the United States, let alone change the living conditions of her and her daughter in Shanghai. Her spiritual sustenance is looking forward to seeing her husband again one day.
However, at the beginning of this month, in a call at the post and telecommunications office, Ou Kelan's father revealed that he had mental problems and had suicidal thoughts. Ou Kelan's mother has been a widow for ten years, and her mental endurance is on the verge of limit.
