Chapter 275: The Joy of Returning Home
For many young people in economically underdeveloped areas, it has become the norm to return home for the Chinese New Year and leave home in a hurry after the Chinese New Year. In many rural areas where living conditions are relatively poor, you can only see the elderly and children.
In order to support his family, he had to leave his hometown to work in a foreign country to earn money, and then send the money back. If you don't go out, with only the income of a few acres of thin land at home, I am afraid that life will be more miserable.
When Zhuang Haiyang took his girlfriend and began to enjoy the rare world of two people on Nanshan Island, those comrades-in-arms who were invited to come also embarked on the way home one after another. Unlike previous years, this year's comrades-in-arms are full of confidence.
In the past, every year is the most uncomfortable time for these comrades-in-arms. The reason is that I couldn't make any money after working hard outside for a year. When they return home, they will also feel deeply guilty in the expectant eyes of their families.
Unlike Qian Yunpeng and Wang Yanming, who accompanied his girlfriend and his wife and daughter to travel around the mountains and rivers, Lin Zitao, whose hometown is located in the mountainous area of Yunnan Province, also took a plane back to the capital of Yunnan Province for the first time in his life, and then transferred to a train and a car.
Arriving in the town where his hometown is located, Lin Zitao also truly realized how big the gap between his hometown and the outside world is. Thinking of his parents and younger siblings at home, Lin Zitao did not go home directly, but first purchased things in the town.
Originally, he still wanted to buy a car, but Lin Zitao knew very well that he didn't have much time to use the car at home. Thinking that his father would rub other people's cars every time he went to the street, Lin Zitao thought for a while and said, "Let's buy a tricycle!"
Although it is more face-saving to buy a car and go home, Lin Zitao still feels that it is completely unnecessary to spend money for the sake of face. Finally, at the car dealer in the town, I picked a three-wheeled motorcycle that is more common in the village, which can carry both people and goods.
After spending less than 10,000 yuan to buy a good car, Lin Zitao began to purchase some things. Even if there is still a period of time before the Chinese New Year, he still knows that his own food has not been very good, and his parents who have been diligent and thrifty all their lives are saving money for their children.
Thinking of his younger siblings who are still in school at home, Lin Zitao also smiled and said, "When you have time, take them out to buy clothes!"
Although Lin Zitao was the third batch of comrades-in-arms, in just about half a year, he still earned nearly one million. Such a sum of money may not be much if it is placed in an economically developed area. Here, it's a huge amount of money!
Riding the three newly bought motorcycles, Lin Zitao arrived at the cottage where he was located like an arrow. Many children playing in the village also seemed a little surprised to see Lin Zitao, as if they didn't know the young man riding a motorcycle in front of them.
On the contrary, some elderly villagers were also surprised when they saw Lin Zitao: "Zitao, when did you come back?"
"Just came back, are my parents at home?"
"Are you coming back so early for the New Year?"
"Well, the company gave me an early annual leave, so I came back early. ”
After chatting with the villagers and handing over a few cigarettes, Lin Zitao didn't stop long, and rode a motorcycle straight to the mountainside where his house was. Benefiting from the country's poverty alleviation policy, their village has finally ended the history of Huangni Road.
Although the cement road was not directly repaired to Lin Zitao's house, there was still no problem with riding a motorcycle. Because the villagers lived relatively scattered, the Lin family, who was resting at home, heard the movement and walked out.
"Brother, Dad, Mom, it's the eldest brother who is back!"
Lin Zitao, who heard this, also smiled and said, "Eldest sister, why are you at home?
"I just came back yesterday, brother, why did you come back so early this year?"
Facing his sister's inquiry, Lin Zitao also smiled and said: "The company has a holiday in advance, so I will naturally come back early if I have nothing to do." What about the younger brother and the younger sister? Haven't they had a holiday yet?"
"Let's go! This time, we should play in the village!"
As the parents also walked out of the house one by one, looking at the motorcycle that their son was riding, the father was also surprised and said, "Whose car are you riding?"
"Dad, I bought this in town! I wanted to buy a car, but I have to go to work in the company in the next year, and it is useless to buy a car. You just happen to be able to ride this car, and I'll put it at home for you to ride in the future. Wouldn't it be more convenient to go down the street or something?"
After listening to Lin Zitao's account of the process of buying a car, my father was happy and couldn't help complaining: "It's expensive! Someone in our village buys it, and it's 200 yuan cheaper than you!"
"Dad, people have sent a lot of things, and the fuel tank has also been filled with gas, so it's more expensive!"
All the things purchased from the town will be moved into their own yards. Looking at these things that his son bought, his father was also very surprised: "Zitao, you don't smoke, what are you doing with so many cigarettes?
"Dad, this cigarette is for someone to smoke! It just happened that the holiday was early this year, and I wanted to build a new house next to it. The eldest sister and the younger brother are not young anymore, and it is somewhat inconvenient to let them rest together. Besides, our house is also old.
Didn't my mother always say that she would wait for me to marry my daughter-in-law before building a new house? Although I don't have a daughter-in-law yet, I can build a house first, and our family can live brighter. Wait for the evening, you can invite the uncle and them over for dinner and discuss!"
As soon as these words came out, my father said with a suspicious face: "It's simple to start a new house, do you know how much it costs to build a new house?"
"Dad, don't worry about money. Didn't I send you 10,000 yuan every month? That money is really for you and your mother. In fact, my salary is very high now, and it is difficult to say how high it is. ”
"What the hell are you doing over there? Aren't you talking about fishing?"
Mother Lin, who was standing next to her, heard what her son said, and knew that her son must have made money. The problem is that the son has only been out for more than half a year. No matter how high the salary is, you can't earn the money you need to build a new house.
Looking at his closest family members around him, Lin Zitao thought for a while and said, "Dad, Mom, eldest sister, just listen to my work income, don't talk nonsense." If people knew that I was making money, they would definitely let me take someone to work.
But I don't recruit outsiders at all for the work I do, and even the boss has an explanation, don't tell others the specific income. What I can tell you is that my current monthly income is about 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. After half a year, how many do you count?"
"What kind of work, can you earn so much in a month?"
The eldest sister, who is already in high school, knows more or less what this income means. Just when her face was full of amazement, Lin Zitao said with a smile: "That's because the boss is my brother's comrade-in-arms, and other colleagues are also my brother's comrades-in-arms." ”
"Wow, your comrade-in-arms boss is such a nice guy!"
If Zhuang Haiyang knew that he was given a good person card, he would probably be very happy!
On the other hand, Lin Zitao also nodded with a smile and said, "Well, my comrade-in-arms is indeed a good person." In fact, I went quite late, and some of my comrades-in-arms went longer than me, and they earned more this year. But it's the boss who really makes money!
If you know that my boss can make millions a month, you won't think that I make tens of thousands of dollars a month. Even if the money to build a new house is still short, I believe I will be able to earn it back next year. So, this house has to be built!"
After a brief introduction to the job and income, the parents were also happy that their son could find such a lucrative job after he was discharged from the army. Earlier, when my son was serving in the army, many families wanted to marry their son.
But as his son came back from the army, those people felt that his son had lost his iron job, and he must have no benefit. Such a realistic approach made Lin Zitao's parents very angry. But now, they feel that their son is really promising.
As long as the new house is built, I believe that those who have school-age girls will come to visit their homes again. But in this matter, Lin Zitao insisted on saying: "Dad, Mom, let me do it myself!"
"Okay! You have such a job now, and finding a girl from the countryside is indeed a little wronged by you. ”
Listening to his father's words, Lin Zitao smiled bitterly: "Dad, I didn't mean that, I just think that I should make more money while I am still young." I don't dare to say that I can continue to do this job, maybe I won't be able to do it in a few years. ”
"Tao, isn't this work very hard?"
Specifically, the work is not hard, and it is even leisurely. It's just that I don't want to be distracted, I want to concentrate on my work. As long as our family becomes rich, are you still afraid that I won't find a good girl?"
In the process of chatting with the family, the younger siblings who were playing outside also ran back one by one. Seeing what the eldest brother bought, the younger siblings seemed very happy. Some people from the village also came to say hello, and Lin Zitao also received them warmly.
When the villagers asked about his work, Lin Zitao also smiled and said: "It's okay! The work is not very tiring, and the income is okay." Because the boss had something to do a year ago, he took a holiday in advance, and I came back early for the New Year. ”
Regarding income, Lin Zitao also remembered the advice of Wang Yanming and others, and did not tell too much about outsiders. Lin Zitao naturally knows this kind of thing. And the parents also understand their son's suffering.
What the people in the village didn't expect was that the next day they were surprised when they heard that Lin Zitao was going to build a new house, which was still the same as a villa in the city: "It seems that this kid has made money this year!"
If you don't have money, how dare you build such a good villa with a higher price?
It doesn't matter what the people in the village think, the most important thing is Lin Zitao's younger siblings, and they are all very excited when they see the pictures of the country villas specially printed out by Lin Zitao. The two younger sisters even said that they would share a room when the new house was built.
Seeing the full expectations of his parents and family, Lin Zitao also felt very happy. As the eldest son and eldest brother in the family, Lin Zitao also knows very well that he was indeed a little disappointed to his family because he could not continue to serve in the army.
The problem is that it is not at all up to Lin Zitao to decide whether he can continue to serve. Now that he has the ability to change his own situation, Lin Zitao also feels very happy. And he believes that maybe another piece of good news should have an answer this year!
Like other comrades-in-arms, they have all reached the age of marriage, how can they not have a favorite girl? In the past, they didn't dare to confess if they didn't feel worthy, but this year, with this job and income, they may dare to speak out!
