At this time, a thought popped up in the already somewhat wooden brain, "Tell Mom and Dad to make them happy." ”

He was still a little confused just now, and he suddenly became excited, and Xu Xincheng said to himself: "Yes, I want to report the good news to my parents!"

He looked at the time, at this time his parents' work should not be too busy, and he could spare some time to call, so, as usual, he @ his parents in the family WeChat group he created separately with his parents, saying that he had a very big news to tell them, asking them if they had time and whether it was convenient to call.

This is his habit, every time there is good news, he will tell his parents as soon as possible to make them happy. And in his hometown, if there is any good news, his parents will also tell him as soon as possible. Although he is far away from his hometown and has a very large distance in the physical space, his and his parents' hearts are always connected, and the emotions between them have passed through the physical space and have always been tightly connected.

Only about 10 seconds later, both of them replied "convenient" and made an appointment to call in five minutes.

Xu Xincheng leaned on the back of the chair and looked up at the ceiling, he wanted to take advantage of the three or five minutes to think about how to talk to them.

He calls his parents two or three times a week to talk about the current situation and about work, but in the past week, he hasn't talked to them about the promotion in the last three calls.

He had already learned the news from Lucy last Sunday, and he had confirmed it from General Manager Li last Monday. However, he will not tell his parents anything that is not 100% certain, it is his habit, and it is better not to report the good news too soon before it actually happens.

Just now, I got the official appointment letter and signed a new contract, and this matter is 100% confirmed, and at this time, it is time to inform my parents.

However, this promotion was different from the last time, and it was really not easy to explain, and he thought to himself: "How can I explain to them that my salary has risen so much this time? Moreover, I told them about a month ago that I had been promoted and raised my salary once, can they understand why he was promoted and raised so quickly?"

Five minutes passed quickly, and he still didn't come up with a particularly good rhetoric, and at this time, the ringtone of the WeChat voice call had already sounded.

As usual, every time I made an appointment with him to make a call, my father would go to my mother, who was the administrator of the school library, and she had a small office, although it was only about 8 square meters, but it was a separate brick-walled cubicle, very quiet, and I could say something more private, and every time my parents called him at school, he would call there. At this moment, the father should have been there, so the mother called.

Xu Xincheng still hadn't fully figured out his words, but he couldn't let his parents wait too long on the other end of the phone, so he answered the phone.

He spent about 10 minutes talking to his parents about what happened, and then he emphasized: "Sino-US Xinfei is a Sino-US joint venture company, and it is a large company with super strength, and my responsibilities are much greater now than before. ”

The mother smiled and said to the father, "Our Xin'er is now promising!"

The father smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's a big deal!"

After only a short while, the mother's laughter on the other end of the phone slowly turned into a choked voice. He knew that his mother was crying with joy, and thinking about his mother's tears, his own tears couldn't help but flow down.

Because the signal in his mother's office is not good, he won't turn on the video every time he makes a WeChat call, but fortunately there is no video call, otherwise, when he sees him crying, his mother will shed more tears.

Xu Xincheng quickly wiped away his tears, took more than a dozen deep breaths in a row, and after a full minute, he adjusted his emotions, and the mother on the other end of the phone also calmed down under the comfort of his father.

He tried hard to control his emotions, tried hard to control his tone, and said in a flat voice: "Mom, Dad, and besides, this time's salary has risen a lot, much more than the previous one." "He felt the need to give them a primer first.

"That's a lot, how much is that?"

"Uh...... , added 6,700 ......," he said with some hesitation.

"6,700? You just said six thousand seven hundred?" the parents couldn't believe the number they had just heard, and asked twice in succession.

He repeated: "Yes, six thousand seven hundred." ”

The laughter of the parents came from the other end of the phone.

There was originally a monetary unit behind that number, and he originally wanted to say "6,700 US dollars", but listening to the laughter of his parents on the other end of the phone, which had been raised to the maximum volume, he thought to himself, it is better not to make it clear to them for the time being, otherwise, there is a high probability that the parents will not be able to react, and it will scare the two of them into problems. Just now, his own soul was so frightened by that number that it floated outside his body for a while, even for him, let alone his parents.

However, he didn't lie to his parents, in fact, it did rise by 6,700, but he didn't tell his parents that it was not RMB but US dollars.

This is too complicated to explain, and the next time I go back to my hometown, I will talk to my parents and explain it slowly! He said to himself, "Yes, that's it, that's the right thing to do." ”

Thinking of this, Xu Xincheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and at the same time, he had an idea in his heart, he said happily: "Mom, Dad, from this month onwards, grandma, all the expenses will be taken care of by me." After the last salary increase, he mentioned this to his parents, but his parents did not agree, and he felt that he should take this opportunity to try again.

The father said, "Xin'er, we know that you are filial, but you really don't need it, as before, 2,500 per month is enough." ”

"No, you're under too much pressure. Or, from this month, I'll be in charge of 3500. ”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then the parents discussed a few words in a low voice, and after about half a minute, the father said, "Well, I will discuss it with your second uncle and sister-in-law tonight." Our plan is that from this month onwards, they will not have to pay the original 1000 per month, and in the future, all the expenses will be borne by our family. After all, their children's expenses are getting bigger and bigger. Look, is that going to work?"

"Okay!"

"Good. Your grandmother will be very happy and proud of you when she finds out about this. ”

Xu Xincheng's eyes were hot again, he hurriedly took a deep breath to control his emotions, and at this time, another idea was born in his heart, and he said happily: "Also, next month, I will send a sum of money back." I think we need to renovate the house, the floor tiles in the house are rotten several times, it's time to renovate, and the wires, lights, and walls are ......."

The mother said: "Xin'er, no, everything in the house is fine, we have lived in it for more than 20 years, we have long been used to it, but after the renovation, we will not be used to it." You still have to save the money yourself and use it to buy a house in Guangzhou in the future. ”

The father followed and said, "Xin'er, you really don't need it, listen to your mother, don't spend your money in these places, you still have to save the money yourself." Ahh

Hearing this, Xu Xincheng couldn't hold back any longer, and two tears flowed down.

He knew that he couldn't convince his parents, at least not on the phone, so he should wait until the next time he returned to his hometown and discuss it with them.

"Okay, then I'll save the money. To reassure his parents, he could only say this.

At this moment, he was full of thoughts, thinking: "I must do this job well, get promoted as soon as possible, and get more quarterly bonuses and year-end bonuses." Also, if I don't renovate the house, it will be a bit troublesome, and I will just buy a new house. Yes, I want to buy my parents a big new house in my hometown as soon as possible, and buy a five-story single-family residential building. No, it's not good, grandma's waist and legs are not good, it's too inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, and there are few people in the family, and it's not good if the house is too big. Yes, I want to buy the best apartment in the best real estate in my hometown, in the elevator apartment building there, with a usable area of about 150 square meters, and then decorate it well, equipped with the best furniture and appliances. ”

"Yes!" he made a big determination in his heart: "Yes! This is my goal, and I must achieve it in two years." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and finally, the father said earnestly: "Xin'er, it's rare for the company and the boss to value you so much, you must work hard, and you must not live up to the trust and trust of the company and the boss." ”

He said firmly: "Dad, Mom, I know! I will definitely work hard!

After ending the call, Xu Xincheng immediately cleaned up his mood and adjusted his state, he wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to his work and devote himself to his work with greater enthusiasm.

He said to himself: "My father is right, I can't live up to the company, and I can't live up to Lucy's trust and trust in me. ”
