"Just like my father, who resolutely left his family business and joined the anti-Japanese resistance, and finally drove the Japanese invaders out of our country, isn't it also for us, the descendants, to have a safe and stable country?"

So I deeply remembered my father's words, and worked harder in the future, my footsteps stepped on every mountain and river flat land in Beihu, deep mountains and forests, and I walked no less than ten pairs of bad shoes every year. ”

"Later, the country got better and better, some people began to get richer, some people even started mining companies, and private mining of mineral deposits rose. ”

"At that time, many large companies came to our survey team to hire people, they were heavy, high salaries, and even on the condition of housing allocation, hoping that people from the survey team could work in their company, and I was of course one of the targets they wooed. ”

"Tempted by high salaries and housing, some of our colleagues ended up leaving our ranks and going to private companies to work for the big bosses. ”

"But I didn't go, I remembered my father's words before he died, I must work hard and contribute to the construction of the motherland, and work for those capitalists for money, what is it?"

"I am still sticking to my post in the survey team, and this time it has been more than ten years. ”

"My little guy has also grown into a big guy, he took the college entrance examination, his grades were very good, he was admitted to a very good university, when the news came back, all the relatives and friends congratulated us. ”

But I couldn't be happy, because it was then that I realized that the family didn't have enough money to pay for my son's college expenses. ”

"The survey team's salary is rising every year, but it is barely enough to support the family's daily expenses. Of course, the bonus for finding the vein has also risen, from ten yuan at the beginning to two hundred now, a full twenty times. ”

What can he do with 200 yuan, he can go to a restaurant, he can buy a better clothes, he can buy a small household appliance and a half, but it is far from enough for college tuition. ”

In the end, my son's tuition was borrowed by my wife from her mother's family. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and pursed his lips, as if to calm his mood, and after a while, Chen Xiaoqiao continued.

"Even so, I've never regretted it. ”

"I don't regret turning down my mentor and not being able to stay in Yanjing. I don't regret joining the Beihu Geological Survey Team, I don't regret turning down the invitation of those big bosses, I don't regret not resigning to go to the sea, I don't regret it. ”

"As for the money borrowed, work hard in the future, save and save, and you will always be able to pay it off. ”

"Well, I don't regret it. Chen Xiaoqiao seemed to be emphasizing these words, nodding while talking, but suddenly, Zhang Kun found a little crystal floating down in the air, and looked up, but Chen Xiaoqiao, who said that he did not regret it, was already in tears at this time.

"Yes, I don't regret it, it was like that before that, until the first half of this year. ”

"My kid is about to be a junior, and we originally wanted to transfer it to him through bank transfer, but later, my unit sent me to Yanjing for a meeting, so I thought about bringing the money over and handing it over to my stinky boy. ”

"He didn't come home for a whole summer vacation, plus a few months of studying, I didn't see him for half a year, and when I wanted to give him money, I stopped by to see him. ”

"Of course, if I bring it in person, I can save more than a dozen yuan in transfer fees, although a dozen yuan is not much, but it can also make that kid have a good meal, anyway, by the way, isn't it." ”

"I came to the school and found the dormitory, the kid was not there, but fortunately one of his roommates was there, I explained my intention, the little guy was very enthusiastic, and pointed me to find my boy. ”

"According to the classmate's instructions, I came to a western restaurant outside the school gate, and I saw my boy. He was dressed in a waiter's suit, busy before and after, serving tea and pouring water, serving food and ordering, and cleaning up the leftovers. ”

And the people he served were all teenagers his age, perhaps students from nearby schools. ”

"I stood outside the door through the glass window for a long time, and my boy was so busy that he barely touched the ground, and he didn't notice it. ”

"I don't remember what I was thinking, I just know that my heart was so depressed, so boring. ”

"I don't know why, I didn't go in at that time, I just stood outside the window and watched silently. Later, at noon, the guy took off his waiter suit and left the restaurant in a hurry. ”

"When he came out, I hid behind a tree and I wanted to know where he was going. ”

I followed him and watched him buy a steamed bun on the side of the road, eat it as he walked, and then, coming to a Chinese restaurant, in the corner of the restaurant's kitchen, quickly putting on an apron, and then sitting by the pool and turning on the faucet. ”

The water was rushing and flowing, and then next to him, there were piles of high, many, many used bowls, chopsticks, and porcelain plates. ”

He pulled out a rag and washed the dishes quickly, almost in a few seconds, faster than his mother. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoqiao's voice trembled slightly: "However, when he was at home, since he washed the dishes once and smashed two, we never let him touch them again." Now, he can ...... faster than his mother. ”

Chen Xiaoqiao showed a smile on his face, and smiled softly, laughing while tears flowed.

"That afternoon, I didn't go to the conference hotel to report, I just stood so far away, watching my boy, washing the bowls all afternoon, until about six o'clock, when the dishes by the pool were empty, the little one took off his apron, washed his hands, and said hello to the kitchen foreman and left. ”

He went back to the direction of the school, and when he passed by the place at noon, he bought another steamed bun and strode back to the school while eating. ”

"In the evening, I came to the school again and walked into their dormitory, where the little one was reading a book. ”

"I didn't mention the daytime, but talked a few words, and then gave him the money. ”

"But when I was about to leave, I casually said, 'I heard your classmates, where do you seem to be working?'"

I said this, but the little guy reacted quickly, he was stunned that there was no discoloration, he just smiled and nodded, and replied to me, "Yes, work-study, experience life." ’”

I didn't say anything, nodded and left. ”

"Work-study is a good thing, it is a good thing to let these students who stay in the ivory tower experience the hardships of work, and it can be regarded as a good thing to get in touch with the society in advance and learn to treat people and things completely different from those in school. ”

"But...... Why!" Chen Xiaoqiao roared angrily at Zhang Kun, only to see that his face was red, his eyes were open with anger, and tears flowed down.
