Chapter 16: Return to Home
It took less than 8 hours to drive from Hanwu to Shandong, which made Ma Xiaofan not only feel that it is really convenient to have a car, before taking the train home, almost a day and a night, now 10 hours to Antai, and this way still want to go and stop if you want to, at the same time, it is also more and more satisfied with the domestic Great Wall H9, except for a slightly higher fuel consumption, other aspects can be called perfect.
After stopping in the last service area of your grandmother's house, Ma Xiaofan. After thinking about it for a long time before continuing to set off, he found himself a perfect reason to go home. If you don't think about everything, you will freak out your parents when you suddenly go home, or drive such an expensive car back without them knowing, although he usually has little contact with his parents, but he knows that he is all the hope of his parents, and he is also a few college students who have gone out in the village, if they don't have a good reason to go home this time, it is difficult to convince their parents.
In the service area, Ma Xiaofan rested for a while, and thought of a seamless reason for himself to come back, and then wanted to tease Xiaobai when he found that Xiaobai was snoozing again, since he ate a wisdom fruit in Shennongjia, Xiaobai would sleep at least half of the time every day, which once made Ma Xiaofan think that this was a pig reincarnated dog, and thought of the effect of the wisdom fruit "Maybe Xiaobai is growing brains, if you eat the fruit is growing brains, you should sleep more" Wang Xiaofan thought that he wanted to put Xiaobai into the creation of the world, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Xiaobai would not be adaptable, and he really needed a companion, so he kept Xiaobai by his side, although there were many inconveniences.
After waiting for a while for dawn, Ma Xiaofan washed up in the service area, and then drove on the road energetically and drove to his home.
Before 8:00 in the morning, Ma Xiaofan arrived in his hometown town and watched year after year. There is no change in the town, Ma Xiaofan sighed a lot, and then thought of the mission on his shoulders that the old man told him, Ma Xiaofan felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
"Third master, have you been working in the slope so early?" "Second aunt, hasn't the second uncle come back from his part-time job?" As soon as he entered the village, Ma Xiaofan kept saying hello to the familiar villagers he met.
"This is Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan is really good, he has driven such a big car" "Xiao Fan is capable now, is it too early to go home this time?" As Ma Xiaofan greeted the villagers, they also asked Ma Xiaofan enthusiastically, and they were so simple and sincere between the lines.
Getting closer and closer to home, the more apprehensive he was in his heart, Ma Xiaofan looked at the old mansion in front of him, he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited, anyway, an indescribable emotion filled his chest, making him have an urge to shout loudly, he had been in Hanwu for a few years, and the time he spent with his parents was very little, and even calling his parents was only once or twice a month, and now he suddenly went home, looking at his door, his heart was full of indescribable guilt, and finally Ma Xiaofan sorted out his emotions, raised his hand and firmly pushed open the doorใ
"Mom and Dad, I'm back" The door was pushed open with a slight push, there was no lock to indicate that the parents were at home, and they did not go to work in the fields, Ma Xiaofan also sincerely hoped that his parents could no longer work in the fields, after all, they were already old, and it was time to enjoy their old age, waiting for themselves not to be angry, and they could only watch their parents get up early and work in the fields with their backs to the loess.
"Xiaofan, why are you back now, why don't you call back and ask them to say something before you come back?" I'm ready to get you something delicious" As soon as they met, their mother kept nagging, and between the lines was her concern for Ma Xiaofan, which made Ma Xiaofan's heart very warm.
"How did you come back? It's been so far, let's go back to the house and rest," his father still was. There are still so few words, but a word from the parents shows the wordless fatherly love for themselves.
"Dad, I'm driving back, come over to help me take the handle, and unload the things in the car to the house" Ma Xiaofan suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and quickly greeted his father, he also bought a gift for the second elder in the car, if he took it himself, he really couldn't take it, so he called his father and went to the car to carry it home.
"Xiaofan, where did you borrow the car? Don't drive it badly" Ma Xiaofan's father saw Ma Xiaofan holding the key, pressed it, and the white beautiful and atmospheric off-road vehicle at the door of his house flashed the light twice, knowing that it was driven by Ma Xiaofan, he thought it was someone else's car borrowed by Ma Xiaofan, and specially instructed.
"Dad, this is the car I bought with my own money outside, not someone else's, when I have time, I will pull you and my mother around, you can take the things in the car home with me now" Listening to his father's words, Ma Xiaofan smiled bitterly, it seemed that he had to spend a lot of saliva to explain clearly, so he hurriedly started to carry things down from the car.
"Dad, this is what I brought back to you is your favorite drink Beijing Erguotou, this box is Huanglong, it is the boutique in Beijing Erguotou, this is the two clothes bought for you, it is about to fall, it is just right to wear it now, this is a pair of shoes bought for you, it is very comfortable, especially soft, and you don't cover your feet, you can wear it now, and this is the two clothes bought for your mother, as well as shoes, and some messy things here, let's take it to the house first." Ma Xiaofan pointed to the boxes of things he moved down from the trunk, which was also a loss. The trunk of the Great Wall H9 is huge, otherwise it really can't pull so many things.
"My mother came over to help, the child brought it back, there are too many things, the two of us can't take it at a trip, you come and take a look at the things, my father and I will take it home" Ma Xiaofan's father didn't say anything more, so he summoned Ma Xiaofan's mother, looked at the things in the car at the door, and he and Ma Xiaofan began to move home one by one.
"Xiaofan, you came back so suddenly this time and didn't say a word to your family, and you said that you bought such a big car, is there something wrong? It can be seen in the caring eyes, and he also wants to know why Ma Xiaofan came back this time?
"Mom and Dad didn't I learn modern agricultural planting when I went to school, and then I learned sales after working, but in the process of work, I got acquainted with a boss who did seed cultivation, by chance, I helped him a big favor to cultivate a new variety, because this variety is very popular in the market, so I got some dividends accordingly, so I bought this car for convenience, and I went home this time to engage in agricultural planting, with some scientific and new technology to plant modern agricultureMa Xiaofan knew that his parents would definitely ask the reason, so he told the second elder what he had thought of when he was in the service area.
"Xiaofan, you haven't done anything illegal" Ma Xiaofan's parents heard Ma Xiaofan say this, they didn't ask anything else, the first thing they considered was whether their son had broken the law, which made Ma Xiaofan feel his parents' love for him so strongly for the first time.
"I didn't break the law, I just helped them put forward a feasible opinion when the seeds were cultivated, that's all" Anyway, Ma Xiaofan hurriedly explained to his parents.
"It's good that you didn't break the law, you said you were going to go home to farm? We finally went to college and stayed in the big city, how can you remember to go back to the countryside to farm? Isn't this more and more regressive?" Ma Xiaofan's father still didn't speak, but his brows furrowed more and more, and Ma Xiaofan's mother couldn't help but ask as if she understood what Ma Xiaofan's father meant.
"I also want to stay in the city, but staying in the city, I can only get a fixed five or six thousand yuan a month, besides, what I studied in college is modern agricultural planting, but what I do in the city is a sales job and my major in college does not match at all, I feel that staying in the city and the knowledge I have worked hard to learn in college is not of any use, only in the countryside, I can give full play to my ability, so as not to bury my hard work. The knowledge and skills learned in college" Speaking of the problem of staying at home, Ma Xiaofan hurriedly said to his parents
"Didn't I know a boss who did seed cultivation in the city, with him as a technical support, my income in the countryside must be much higher than the income in the big city, I have worked in Hanwu for so many years, and I can only maintain my own living expenses, I helped him with seed cultivation, I have bought a car for only a year, or such a good car, don't you think that doing agriculture is not the same as we thought before?" didn't wait for the second elder to speak, Ma Xiaofan hurriedly used his income and his own profession to persuade the second elder.
"Okay, since Xiao Fan has decided, then let it stay at home, anyway, there is land in the house, take out some land, and let Xiao Fan toss it himself." Ma Xiaofan's father didn't continue to say anything after hearing Ma Xiaofan, because he knew that Ma Xiaofan must have made a decision after careful consideration, although he didn't know why Ma Xiaofan had such an idea, but he knew that what he needed to do most now was to support Ma Xiaofan unconditionally, let Ma Xiaofan try it himself, if it really didn't work, he would find a way to return to the city to work in the future.
"Dad, thank you for your support, don't worry, I will not disappoint you and your mother" Ma Xiaofan understood what his father meant, and he also didn't say anything, looking at his parents, Ma Xiaofan said sincerely.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for a while, Mom and Dad, take a look at what good things I brought to you, and buy a mobile phone for your second elder, so that it will be convenient for us to contact each other in the future, and you don't have to talk to others" Ma Xiaofan took out the two mobile phones he had prepared for his parents and handed them over.
"Why spend so much money on this, your father and I don't need it, you can buy some clothes for your girlfriend after keeping the money" Ma Xiaofan's parents saw that they took out two mobile phones at once, and said to Ma Xiaofan a little distressed.
"Why is it useless? After I buy a mobile phone, I will call you again, don't you have to call other people's houses to let others pass the word, besides, with a mobile phone, isn't it convenient for you to contact my sister?
"Okay, just take it if you buy it, Xiao Fan bought it back so far away, I can't let him go back and return it." At this time, Ma Xiaofan's father spoke, and he could clearly see the pride in his eyes for his child.
"I also bought a lot of things here, as well as clothes and toys for my nephew, as well as clothes and necklaces for my sister, and some miscellaneous things, Mom and Dad, you can share them all when you look at them" Seeing that his parents accepted the mobile phone he took home, Ma Xiaofan handed over everything else to his parents in one go.
"Xiaofan, we don't know how much money you make now, but no matter how much money is less, you can't be so extravagant" Ma Xiaofan's mother. Seeing that Ma Xiaofan had bought so many things for his family, he quickly said distressedly.
"Mom and Dad, you have raised me for so many years, I haven't done anything for the family, this is my filial piety to you, it should be, in the future, you can enjoy the happiness of the second elder at home, and now there is me at home" Obviously, seeing that his mother was distressed about spending money, Wang Xiaofan said sincerely.
"Xiaofan has grown up and has his own ideas, just let the child you" The father's words are still so few, but between the lines, Ma Xiaofan can feel a mountain-like father's love.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't embarrass you," Ma Xiaofan looked at his father who had worked hard for him all his life and said sincerely.
"Okay, why are you two staying there? Xiao Fan just came back and was tired all the way, and he hasn't had breakfast yet, right? I'll go and give Xiao Fan a bowl of noodles to drink, and let Xiao Fan quickly wash his hands and face and refresh himself" Ma Xiaofan's mother, you see it's almost 9 o'clock now, hurry up and go to give Ma Xiaofan noodles.
"Mom, no need, I already ate when I was on the road, and I'm not hungry now, or I'll teach you how to use your mobile phone now" Ma Xiaofan saw that his mother was about to get up and go to make a note for himself, so he quickly stopped.
"And his mother went to kill the rooster in the house and gave it to the child to eat at noon. Originally, it was kept for the New Year, but the big rooster was sent to the table by Ma Xiaofan's father with a word.
"Okay, I'll go get Xiaofan, if you don't have anything to do, teach your dad how to use the mobile phone first, and when your dad uses it, let your dad teach me again" Ma Xiaofan's mother didn't hesitate to get up and went to kill the chicken.
"Mom, you wait a while, I still have a puppy in the car, I will help you after I catch the puppy, it is still the same as before, you kill the chicken and I pluck the feather" Seeing her mother get up and catch the chicken Ma Xiaofan. Said after that.
"Aunt He, you go and clean up the East House for Xiao Fan, I'll kill the chickens, Xiao Fan should have driven all night, you don't have to help kill the chickens, you can rest for a while" That's it. Ma Xiaofan's father's words made Ma Xiaofan dispel the idea of plucking chicken feathers, and he could only hug Xiaobai around the yard.
"Where did you get a dog, it's so ugly, if you don't say it's a puppy, I thought you got a little lamb from somewhere, it looks weird and clean" Ma Xiaofan's mother saw that Ma Xiaofan was holding Xiaobai couldn't help but be amused by Xiaobai's appearance.
"This is what I picked up in the mountains when I was helping my friend, I called him Xiaobai's special human nature, seeing that he was lonely and miserable in the mountains, I adopted it" Wang Xiaofan is so ugly, how did he explain to his mother, and his mother asked directly after seeing Xiaobai.
"You must take care of him when you are at home, don't let him run around, now the countryside is not as good as before, don't let him eat indiscriminately, administer medicine to death. Mother didn't blame Ma Xiaofan for running around with the puppy, but told her carefully.
On this day, Ma Xiaofan's parents did not go to work in the fields and had lunch. The latter family of three chatted happily, listened to what his mother said, the parents in the village, and listened to his father talk about the government's policy on agriculture, Ma Xiaofan also selectively said some interesting things about his school and work in the city, so it was dark unconsciously.
