Chapter 79: Long Distance Calls
Chen Fan turned the small turntable, chopped pepper cold salad folded ear root, husband and wife lung slices, chopped pepper fish head, and drank the last small plate of pickles made by himself, which was simply delicious in the world.
The three of them ate and drank until the evening came, and the lights were on.
After the meal, Chen Fan also proposed to have some supper, karaoke or something, but the greasy brother Jiang Wen couldn't stop yelling, raised his hands to beg for mercy, and had to go back to the hotel to rest.
Chen Fan had no choice but to go to the hotel with Jiang Wen to rest.
Tonight, he drank half a catty of white with Jiang Wen alone, and he was indeed a little faint.
Thinking that the system prompted him to reduce his alcohol nicotine intake, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jiang, after having dinner with Chen Fan, was full of caution, and he was already thinking about it......
There was nothing to say all night, and in the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning.
Chen Fan invited Jiang Wen to eat some special breakfast before sending him to the car.
After returning to the hotel and checking out, Chen Fan decided to go to the bank first.
took out part of the money in the bank card, and then paid the county nursing home for this year's uncle's nursing fee.
There are still 280,000 yuan, Chen Fan looked at the balance on the card, found a quiet place, and dialed the familiar and unfamiliar number on the phone.
After a few dials, Chen Fan heard a murmur from the other end, and the voice of a slightly tired middle-aged woman.
"Xiaofan, why did you call your mother, is it not suitable for the job, how much do you want, tell your mother. ”
Chen Fan covered the phone with one hand, and tears almost rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
Even if he was reborn through a journey, but inherited the body and memory of this life, how could Chen Fan put aside these ties.
In the past, his parents thought that he was good at school, and as one of the few college students in the village, he had always been the pride of the second elder.
But in the past few years, as there are as many college students as dogs, and the son is not the kind of sleek and sophisticated character, there is no background at home, so how can he gain a foothold in the red dust.
Therefore, in the year since graduation, even if he knows that his son has graduated, every month, Chen Fan's mother Tian Ying will still give him a few hundred living expenses.
Chen Fan wiped the corners of his eyes, readjusted his mood, and then replied: "Mom, you and Dad are not busy, I want to go over and see your second elder." ”
"Ahem, what do you see, not busy, not busy, every day I go down to the river to catch fish, don't you know the climate here? The summer is cool, and in the autumn and winter, our regiment also has warmth, and it is not tired. ”
The mother never told about the hardships in her life, she just didn't want her son to worry about her.
No matter how ordinary this son is, no matter how promising he is, it is also the treasure in his heart and the hope of his family.
"It's okay, Mom, I have a job now, a high salary, just a week off, I'll come over in the next two days and play with you for two days. ”
"Really fake? Xiaofan, your tone and voice are not like you used to be!"
In the past, Chen Fan had low self-esteem and was introverted, speaking like a mosquito and fly, from childhood to adulthood, he was the kind of character who was beaten.
As a mother, Tian Ying felt that her son's spirit was refreshed in two sentences.
"Mom, who can't grow up, who doesn't have a Shibei to be impressed in three days!"
"As far as you kid talk a lot, your dad went down to the river to fish, and he hasn't come back yet, the water in Bosten Lake is good today, and I'm busy with your dad!"
"I'm busy, it's time to rest or rest, in this way, today you sell the fish, come to Dihua City, I will take you to travel for a few days." ”
After speaking, Chen Fan didn't care about his mother's refusal, and directly transferred 20,000 yuan first.
With the rest of the money, Chen Fan is ready to save tens of thousands of yuan by himself, and save the rest for his mother.
Some things can only be explained clearly by going to the scene and saying it in person.
For example, our parents, when you say that you are a professional gamer, what guild you have signed, and your annual salary is hundreds of thousands of dollars a year;
or as an anchor on a certain platform, with an annual salary of one million, who will believe it for a while.
And the reason why Chen Fan wanted to go to the Great Northwest was also because he had regrets in a similar time and space in his previous life.
In this time and space, in this life, he eagerly desires that the next mission is to cross the Gobi Desert, walk in the no-man's land, the wilderness, and come to a truly shocking wilderness to survive.
And Chen Fan's parents received a payment from Chen Fan, especially the first time they made a huge sum of more than 20,000 yuan.
In a family like theirs, if his former cowardly son didn't give an explanation to face, he was afraid that Chen Fan's father would not believe it and would be restless.
This is the second reason why he has to go to the Great Northwest to meet his parents.
"Well, okay, when you were in high school before, I told your father to come over to play during the summer vacation, but you didn't want to, but now, my Xiaofan has really grown up. ”
"Yes, your father and I will go into the county seat tonight to sell the fish, and tomorrow we will drive to Dihua City, and we will see you there." ”
"Yes, Mom. ”
Chen Fan hung up the phone, and the depression in his heart was released again.
Of course, he also felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was also a little more, but what was this!
I want to start a family in the future, and I want to give my family the best life.
It's nothing.
took 10,000 yuan and put it in his pocket, Chen Fan took a taxi, and went to Kelly City to find a job by himself, in a small alley not far from the talent market.
This is a well-known urban village in the local area, and many places on the edge have been painted with red paint with the word "demolition".
Families with this word are naturally happy, because they have demolition money and a house, which can be regarded as suddenly getting rich and living a good life.
At the same time, in urban villages, the demolition and relocation of some large old unit buildings, especially those of the nature of state-owned enterprise family homes in the past, is a long and arduous task.
These historical enterprises, which have long since collapsed and disappeared, have only the last bit of resources left.
Most of the workers who live in these places have already moved out, and the vacated ones are rented to Chen Fan, who is looking for jobs and mixing with the job-seeking groups at the bottom.
Thinking wildly, Chen Fan had already walked through the alley and arrived at the edge of the rented small attic.
Seeing that the door was open, Chen Fan was puzzled at first, he obviously went home after locking the door, could it be a thief?
To be on the safe side, he raised his voice and shouted, "Hey, anyone?"
"Ghost howl, I still know that when I come back, I thought that which rabbit cub had absconded in fear of crime, and slipped away without planning to pay the rent!"
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and an aunt with red hair who had been repaired by Master Tony at the entrance of the village stood up with red hair.
"Landlord, it turned out to be you, it just so happened that I was about to settle the rent with you!"
You have lived with me for more than three months, every day you are either instant noodles or steamed buns, you can't find a job, you still talk like a woman, even a poor man like you also think of work, forget it, I don't want you the rent, you go, let's go!"
"What's the situation? Landlord, you are so generous and mean-spoken, can you not ask for rent?"
