Chapter Twenty-Nine: Parents Are Here, Don't Travel Far, You Must Have a Way
On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Su Fa took his eldest son Ah Jun and father Su Bingren to travel to Hangzhou.
The traffic during the long holiday is embarrassing, going out at ten o'clock, and not leaving the city at twelve o'clock, the blame is only for the three of them getting up too late.
Su Bingren was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't figure out how such a wide road would be squeezed into a pot of porridge.
When you come to Shanghai, you always have to take some scenery and take it back to show off to the old guys in the village.
The person the old guys are most sympathetic to at the moment is Lao Sun Tou.
The son of Lao Sun Tou is the first college student in the village, who has studied well all the way to the capital since he was a child, and worked in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital on the outskirts of Beijing, married a daughter-in-law in Beijing, and has taken root in the imperial city.
The old couple has worked hard for so many years, and the first few years have been beautiful, and everyone in the village is envious.
The turning point began when the son married a wife and had children, and the old couple went to live for a few days in the name of watching their grandson, but they were disgusted and dirty by their daughter-in-law in the city, and they were driven back to their hometown directly. Since then, the son's family has never interacted with the old family again.
The old guys in the village began to make fun of him from there, saying that he had cultivated the son of a college student, it was better to cultivate a junior high school mixed agricultural society, at least quarrel with his daughter-in-law, and he could go home as soon as he raised his buttocks, unlike the old grandson, who was scolded by his daughter-in-law, and could only stand on the road outside the sixth ring road of Dajing City to pour the northwest wind.
Su Bingren has never dared to come to his son's place, a big reason is that he is afraid that he will also be scolded by his son and daughter-in-law and cut off his relationship.
This time, I finally stumbled and stumbled for 2 months.
But to say that everything is going well is really talking nonsense with wide eyes.
Don't talk about the daughter-in-law, there must be no daughter in the family, so you can't say it easily.
The grandson couldn't easily say it.
The most important thing is that this son, Su Fa, always sings against himself.
Su Bingren saw that since his son went to college, he went home twice a year during the winter and summer vacations, and sometimes he didn't come back during the Spring Festival after graduation and work, and after his son got married, he went back to his hometown even rarely. Although there are all reasons, such as the daughter-in-law is pregnant, for example, the eldest grandson is sick, for example, the daughter-in-law is pregnant again.
After calculating, Su Fa went back once when he got married, and he went back during the Spring Festival of the year after marriage. Seven or eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and my son has not returned, and neither has my grandson.
Thinking of this, Su Bingren had to wonder if Su Fa had no feelings for his family.
The most important thing is that every time his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, this son always stands on his daughter-in-law's side and rarely helps his mother speak.
The son is really getting more and more unfamiliar, and if he continues like this, it is not impossible for him to develop into an enemy.
Therefore, this Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Bingren has to go back no matter what, he doesn't want to take care of endless housework here, and he is still angry with his son.
Su Bingren actually doesn't like to travel very much, too tired.
Su Bingren's favorite thing is to return to his hometown by himself and sit at the mahjong table for a night.
Therefore, this tour is purely for the purpose of taking videos and taking them back to show off.
As a result, not long after leaving the city, Su Bingren found that the video could not be filmed.
Su Bingren still wanted to take pictures of the scenery on the road, so he hurriedly asked Su Fa to find a place to stop and show himself what was going on.
Su Fa finally got on the highway, and he didn't want to go down for a mobile phone at all, so he argued with his father for a while.
As a result, it didn't take long for the car to stop completely, and it turned out that the front was too congested and was already motionless.
Su Fa took his father's mobile phone and looked at it, it turned out that the space was full, and Su Fa hurriedly deleted the programs that he didn't know how to install and had been useless, as well as the caches everywhere.
The one that occupies the most space is the watermelon video.
"Dad, watch less watermelon videos, there is too much garbage content on it. ”
"I watch well, I can watch dramas, I can watch the news, why is it rubbish. Su Bingren disagreed.
Su Fa was also helpless, remembering that his father often sat on the sofa and watched videos endlessly, and sometimes asked Ah Fu to watch it together, and his head was big for a while, "Dad, then pay attention to protect your eyes, don't watch it at night, it hurts."
Su Fa thought to himself, the old man held a mobile phone and looked at it for a night, which can be regarded as a new atmosphere in the new era. This mobile phone will poison the three generations of the old, middle and young sooner or later.
After all the hard work to get to Hangzhou, take a turn around the West Lake, take a ride around the tide of the Qiantang River, and before I took a closer look, Su Bingren took a small video and shouted that it was okay.
Su Fa asked his father to sit there and appreciate it, and Su Bingren said, "It's nothing to see", and denied all the beautiful scenery.
Su Fa pulled his father to go boating on the West Lake, and Su Bingren said bluntly that it was boring.
When staying overnight in Hangzhou, three generations of grandparents lived in the same house.
Su Bingren told Ah Jun that "my parents are here, and I don't travel far". Then he said to Su Fa, you know this.
Su Fa said that of course he knows, which means that when his parents are alive, the children should stay with their parents more and go out for many months, so the best thing is not to leave home too far.
Su Bingren sighed, his current sons are all 108,000 miles away, and it is almost the same if he has a son or not.
That sad look is very unbearable.
"Grandpa, now there are subways, cars, high-speed rail, and airplanes, and you can go anywhere quickly, which is ancient times, but not in modern times. Ah Jun rushed to renew his grandfather's thinking.
Su Fa didn't follow his father's train of thought, Dad, there is still the second half of this sentence, and the complete sentence should be "Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to travel". It means that if my son has a proper and clear direction and goal, he can also go out and struggle, and we can reach this distance in just a few hours.
Su Bingren was made by his son again, and learned from his wife Liu Zhaodi's old words, "Well, yes, when I go back, I will die a long time ago." ”
Su Fa knew that this was a famous quote from her mother Liu Zhaodi, she was the most taboo to talk about life and death, and in her heart, she would not be hurt by those at all, so she smiled back, "What, and with my mother's wise sayings, she likes to say some ridiculous things." ”
In the end, Su Fa said again, Dad, I will take Ah Jun Ah Fu back to see you when I am free, I want to go back several times, but my mother said that she would not let me go back. You let my mother go back and take care of her, you see how she has lost weight for more than a year, she is reluctant to eat and drink here, you go back and take her to eat noodles every day, so as to raise her body back.
Su Bingren nodded, the food at home is still delicious, and he is not used to eating here at all.
The atmosphere of the conversation was finally barely maintained, and did not collapse.
The third day of the holiday, the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Chen Xiaohe's family had no intention of celebrating the holiday, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law set to go home on this day.
