Chapter 046: Go home on a blind date
This moment passed, Han Xiaofeng agreed to his parents to go home for a blind date, so he had to ask the boss for leave.
On this trip, he was also forced to be helpless, in fact, he also wanted to take this opportunity to go back to visit his parents in the countryside, since the last time his father was discharged from the hospital, he has not been home.
It's a bit of a pity, a little bit of a pity, the competition in the city is so fierce that there is no chance to breathe.
Blind date is just a form for him, whether he likes it or not, he can deal with it casually, and it is also because he obeys his parents' arrangement, so he will do what he says.
Han Xiaofeng simply dressed himself and dressed plainly, which is also for a reason, unlike some people who work outside and have some money, he deliberately dresses up beautifully, handsome and handsome to go back to the countryside to pretend.
Today's society is different, the most feared thing is that others know that you have money, and someone will borrow money from you, and it is very painful to borrow money like borrowing friends.
If you get it back, you are a friend and a brother. Can't get it back, it's nothing. If you don't get it right, you turn against each other, and there are many examples in life.
So, try to be as low-key as possible.
Han Xiaofeng took the high-speed train home, feeling the speed of China, in recent years, China's development is too fast, admirable.
It took just over three hours to get back to the town in the countryside, which was nearly half the time.
But there were still about five kilometers from the town to the village, so he had to call his father to come out on a motorcycle.
Standing on the streets of the town and waiting, the waiting time is always long, time passes by second, and when I see my father coming on the motorcycle that has been more than ten years old, I am extremely excited.
I was so excited that I wanted to cry......
"Dad, let me drive, you take the car. Han Xiaofeng said, as if he wanted to share his father's worries.
"It's okay Xiaofeng, you're tired all the way back, let's take the car, Dad, this old bone, you can drive for a few years." Han Xiaofeng's father said.
As parents, we are always thinking about our children, and what do we have to complain about not honoring our parents.
Han Xiaofeng sat behind his father, and saw the white hair on his father's head so closely, and there was a large patch.
At this moment, his heart was heavy, and there seemed to be something indescribable in his eyes.
When I got back to the house, my mother heard the sound of the motorcycle and greeted her with a smile.
This kind of long-lost smile is rare for Han Xiaofeng, and it is really refreshing for people to be happy at happy events.
"Xiaofeng, you're finally back, the girl your mother helped you find, you must like it, she is honest and beautiful. Han Xiaofeng's mother said with a smile.
Looks like she really likes that girl.
"Got it, Mom. Han Xiaofeng responded.
"Ouch, you kid, what do you know, and if you know, do you still worry your parents?"
"Mom, I'm not still young, I'll find a wife, you can rest assured. Han Xiaofeng said that he felt that his parents were redundant to help him go on a blind date.
"Are you still young? you are 24 years old this year, the second dog next door is the same age as you, you see that everyone is married and has children, and the life is happy and happy, how enviable, my mother is old, and I want to hug my grandson. Han Xiaofeng's mother said, her tone was full of envy and jealousy.
even compared him with the second dog, Han Xiaofeng was also embarrassed.
In fact, it is not surprising that the common concept of rural people now is that marriage is greater, no matter how good your life is, no matter how much money you have, if you are not married, you will always be looked down upon.
When a man reaches a certain age and does not have a girlfriend or is not married, he will naturally become a topic of conversation and joke in the mouths of the villagers all day long.
Especially people like Han Xiaofeng, their appearance is not bad, and they have also entered the army, and they can't even take a girlfriend home, and they are even looked down upon.
"Don't I also want to make more money and live a better life?" Han Xiaofeng said.
"Money, never enough money, isn't our family a glorious military household, the national policy is good, now our family has a living allowance of a few hundred yuan every month, our two old provinces are basically enough to spend, thanks to the party and the country, so you don't have to worry about your parents, earn enough to spend yourself, find a wife to live a good life, we can rest assured." Han Xiaofeng's mother vented what she wanted to say in her heart.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, let alone not?
"That's right, Xiaofeng, you have to take advantage of the opportunity this time, I think that girl is not bad, so I discussed it with your mother before I gave the gift money, and we also showed her your photos, and she was also very satisfied. After Han Xiaofeng's father finished speaking, he took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath, and a hall of about thirty square meters was filled with the strong smell of cigarettes.
Han Xiaofeng sat on the sofa, bowing his head slightly, listening to their chatter.
He has never seen what this girl looks like, so that her parents can be tempted by her, and even pay a gift money, it seems that this family business is extremely important in their hearts.
"Xiaofeng, I discussed with your father, if this family business is done, you can quit your job and come back, don't be a security guard, now the village is engaged in land leveling, the policies in the village are much better than the city, join the rural cooperative, the income is much higher than your security guard, and the work is not tired, just invest a little capital, the couple have a baby and live happily, how good." Han Xiaofeng's mother said, with a kind smile on her face.
It seems that they have carefully planned a way out for their son a long time ago.
Han Xiaofeng also understood his parents' good intentions, but these did not move him and attract him.
He felt that city life was more suitable for him, and he just wanted to make a place in the city.
Besides, he promised Mr. Lu to work hard in the Lu Group, and when his father was sick, the 100,000 yuan he borrowed from Mr. Lu has not been returned, so he can't leave the city.
"Mom, Dad, now I'm not a security guard, I'm working for a real estate company. Han Xiaofeng said.
It was the first time he had mentioned it to them, so they were all a little surprised.
"What? Didn't you say that you were a security guard in the community? When did you go to work in a real estate company? You also went to work as a security guard at the entrance of the real estate, right?" Han Xiaofeng's mother hesitated.
Perhaps, in her eyes, Han Xiaofeng has always been the material for being a security guard, and because Han Xiaofeng only has a knowledge of Chinese, in addition to being competent for the profession of security guard, I am afraid that there will be no more suitable job for him.
"I'm not a security guard now, anyway, I'm working in an office, and I've just been in for a while, so I don't have to tell you. Han Xiaofeng said.
He didn't tell them in advance because he had his own reasons, and what he was most afraid of was that he would tell his identity, and they couldn't help but go to the village to brag about it again, and there would be a large group of people to borrow money, which seemed to have become a norm.
Perhaps, many people know what it's like to borrow money to go out.
"No matter what kind of job you have, you can get this family business done first, as long as you get married, parents can rest assured. Han Xiaofeng's father took a deep puff of cigarette and said.
"Yes, after all, our family has no power and power, and we don't have a few more money, so if we don't get married, it will be difficult to get married once we get old. Han Xiaofeng's mother took over.
Actually, what they said is right, think about the people in the village, you know that there are more than 100 households in a village, and those who have reached the age of marriage or are over forty years old and are not married, they can draw several tables of people at will, and almost every household has a light root.
Especially in this era of imbalance between men and women, it is even more difficult to find a wife, and besides, if there is no gold mine at home, girls don't even look at it.
In the city, it is no exception, when it comes to falling in love, the woman requires a car and a house, and a certain amount of savings, this society is too realistic.
When the son grows up, the parents are most worried about this problem, although getting married and having children is a necessary journey in life, but if the best opportunity is lost, life is not so perfect.
is like a cousin of Han Xiaofeng, who has been mixed up outside for decades, and only got married at the age of fifty, although he married an eighteen-year-old girl with his own ability, he has the feeling of an old cow eating tender grass, which is quite enviable.
Now he has two children, the eldest is ten years old, the younger is eight years old, and he is in his sixties, and he can only do what he can to support his family, and in a few years, the children will grow up to go to high school, college, and when they need money, and they are old and unable to work, for an ordinary family, it is very difficult and painful to rely on his wife to work to support the family, and it is difficult for such a family to maintain.
Therefore, parents often use them as an example, the marriage cannot be delayed for a long time, and once it is missed, it cannot be recovered.
Han Xiaofeng's mother had already called the matchmaker in advance and made an appointment to meet tomorrow at a bubble tea shop in the town.
Han Xiaofeng didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "Got it." ”
Now that he has returned home, it is better to meet him, whether it is successful or not is another matter, but he hopes that it will not be successful, he just goes home to deal with it, and does not want his parents to worry.
If it doesn't work, he'll have more reasons to convince them.
