Chapter 167: Coming Home
Funing is a small city, with a population of less than 500,000 and an economy that is not very developed.
However, in recent years, urban construction has been carried out, although housing prices have soared, the appearance of the city has changed a lot compared with before, and it finally has the appearance of a modern city.
After the train arrived in Funing, Han Ye and Zhou Weicheng got off the train and prepared to go back to their respective homes and find their mothers.
However, what Han Ye didn't expect was that Song Chunjia also got off the bus in Funing.
When he asked, he found out that Song Chunjia was also from Funing, and he came back this time for work and to see his parents.
Not only that, Song Chunjia's parents' community is not far from Han Ye's house, only two stops away, which is a coincidence.
Zhou Weicheng took the car and left first because he was on a different road from Han Ye, and Han Ye took a taxi with Song Chunjia to return home.
Han Ye's family lives in the old house of the city government, which was bought by Han Ye's father when he worked in the city government, a six-story small building built in the nineties, because it is located in the government compound, the environment is quite quiet, but the appearance of the building is relatively simple.
When Han Ye came home, it happened to be Sunday, and his parents were resting at home.
Seeing that their son, who hadn't seen them for a few months, finally returned home, Han Ye's parents were overjoyed, and hurriedly asked him to put down his luggage and welcomed him into the house.
Especially Han Ye's mother, who was making tea and peeling fruits, and finally looked at Han Ye carefully, and was so distressed that she kept saying that her son had lost weight, he must have had a hard time at school, and he had to make up for it when he came back.
"Your mother has missed you for a long time, and she is always afraid that you will not have a good time in the provincial capital, so she has dragged me to the provincial capital to see you several times, but I didn't agree. Father patted Han Ye's back affectionately and nodded with satisfaction, "I'm a little thinner than before, but I feel stronger and more calm." ”
The mother was very dissatisfied and blamed her father: "You are hard-hearted, you don't care about your son's life or death, for a few months, you don't go to see your son, anyway, it's all in the province, and it's not very far. ”
"Han Ye is already a man, he should be outside a little bit, even if he suffers a little and suffers a little setback, you are like a nanny to take care of him, how can he grow up?" Han Ye's father shook his head disapprovingly,
"Besides, he is studying at school, and his brother and daughter-in-law are taking care of him, even if he suffers, where can he suffer? What do you say, Xiao Ye?"
Han Ye smiled and said, "I'm doing well, Mom, if you go, I'm afraid I'm not so free." So don't keep talking about my dad. ”
The mother said with some dissatisfaction: "He doesn't care about you at all, and you still help him talk, I really don't know what to do." ”
My father smiled: "You are concerned about life, and I care from a longer-term perspective, the essence is the same, but the angle is different." ”
"Dad, don't give me an official tone, say so much, in fact, you are too far away, the fare is too expensive, and you are too lazy to run this trip. Han Ye smiled and joked with his father.
"By the way, when I just came by car, I saw a real estate in front of me, next to the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and advertised the family building of the Cultural Affairs Bureau. ”
As soon as he said this, the joyful and warm atmosphere in the room suddenly decreased a lot.
The father fell silent, and the mother's face became unpleasant.
"What the hell is going on, why do I think something is wrong with the atmosphere?" Han Ye asked with some confusion.
After a long while, my father said, "That piece of land originally belonged to the Cultural Affairs Bureau, so it is indeed cheaper for the staff of the Cultural Affairs Bureau to buy a house there than outside."
However, I work in the library, and although I am a direct unit, the establishment is not in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, so I can't enjoy that kind of discount. ”
The mother said a little angrily: "Why can't you enjoy it? Not to mention other cultural units, even your library, there are many people who have received preferential conditions, but you don't have it, it's obvious that you are deliberately manipulating you!"
The father waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, our house can't live in it, it's a little older, after all, this is a government compound, and the environment is better than many communities."
After Xiao Ye finishes college, decides where to work, and buys him a house, we will slowly save money and change it for a new set, not necessarily now. ”
The mother said indignantly: "Then Zheng Tao first kicked you from the city government to the library, cut off your career, and now he is making things difficult for you in every way, I just can't swallow this breath!"
Zheng Tao is now the director of the Funing Cultural Bureau and Han Ye's father's immediate boss.
When he and Han Ye's father were working in the city government together, Han Ye's father offended him fiercely because of his upright personality, and he was framed by him, ruining his good future, and kicked him to the library for retirement.
Later, Zheng Tao relied on his ability to observe words and feelings, and was promoted to the director of the Cultural Bureau step by step, and became the top boss of Han Ye's father, and the suppression of Han Ye's father intensified.
Han Ye himself also knew about this black history, and as soon as he heard his mother say it, he probably understood what was going on.
So, he hurriedly comforted him: "Forget it, Mom, if you don't buy it, you don't buy it, Funing is a small place, it's not interesting to live here, and it's not a big deal if you don't buy it." You will go directly to Nanling to live in the future, I already have a house in Nanling, all of which have been renovated, just waiting for you to live in. ”
"You bought a house in Nanling?" the mother showed a surprised look on her face, "The house in Nanling is precious, where did you get so much money?"
"Didn't I tell you the last time I sent you money? I partnered with someone and started a small business and made a little money. Han Ye said vaguely.
He didn't dare to tell his mother the truth, with his mother's temperament, if he knew that he had curbed the type I virus, he would definitely have to publicize it, and he wished that the whole world would know that it was her son's credit.
As soon as Han Ye mentioned the matter of remitting money last time, Han Ye's mother suddenly remembered something, and asked with a nervous face: "By the way, when you say that, I remember it, last time you also remitted a lot of money home, what kind of business are you doing outside, how did you make so much money in just a few months? What's more, you are still in college! It can't be earned through some crooked way, right?"
Han Ye hurriedly assured: "It's definitely not a crooked way, it's a serious business, a very serious business." ”
"It's very difficult to do business now, what kind of business are you doing, so easy, so profitable? The mother stared at her son, as if she didn't plan to let her son be so perfunctory this time, and decided to break the casserole and ask the end.
Seeing his mother's serious face, Han Ye knew that he couldn't coax him this time, so he had to honestly confess: "I worshipped a very famous feng shui master in Nanling as a teacher, and followed him to learn the art of feng shui. ”
"The art of feng shui, to put it bluntly, is it to tell fortunes and look at people?" Han Ye's mother's voice suddenly rose several degrees, almost overturning the roof, "You were finally admitted to NTU, you are not good at studying, and you actually went to learn fortune-telling and reading from others?"
She was so angry that she stretched out her hand and went to twist her son's ear.
Han Ye hurriedly jumped to the side and shouted, "Oh, Mom, Mom, I'm such an adult, you pluck my ears at every turn, isn't it okay?"
The mother glared at her: "No matter how old you are, you are also my son! Why? After only flying out of the semester, your wings are stiff, and the punishment is terrible?"
"Absolutely, absolutely. You taught your son a lesson, and it was a matter of course. Han Ye hurried over and said with a smile, "However, your son is so filial and considerate, handsome and kind, can you be merciful and a little lighter?"
"It's all messy. ”
Han Ye's mother was amused by her son, she is such a precious son, how can she really be willing to be ruthless?
It's just that she pinned all her expectations on her son, but her son didn't study well and followed the Jianghu god stick to learn fortune-telling and look-reading, which really made her very angry.
Han Ye's father was very open-minded, and explained: "Thirty-six lines, the line is the champion." If he really likes it, and can do it well, there is nothing wrong with being a feng shui master, and the famous feng shui master in Hong Kong is also very respected.
You see, he at least earns a lot more than me, and my ten-year salary in the library is not worth the amount of money he earns in a semester. ”
Han Ye's mother glared at her husband: "You still support him, you really don't look like a father at all, just now you said that you were worried about his future, where is this worrying, it's just laissez-faire!"
Fortune tellers are all a group of charlatans, what social status can they have, and what can they do?"
Speaking of this, she turned her head to Han Ye again and said:
"I can't do this fortune-telling thing, and I will definitely not do it again in the future. I don't ask you how much money you earn now, you just give me a good study in school and find a decent job in the future, that's it. ”
Han Ye knew that his mother was out of the most sincere and selfless concern, so even if he didn't agree with it in his heart, his attitude of admitting his mistakes was extremely sincere, and his head was like a chicken pecking rice, which finally reassured his mother a little.
Seeing that her son had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Han Ye's mother was naturally happy, and immediately asked her husband to go out to buy some vegetables and come back, while she herself turned around and went down to the kitchen happily, planning to cook a table of good dishes at night, so that her son who had not seen her for several months could make up for it.
"Usually your mother and I eat simply, and if you are bare, we can open meat tonight. Han Ye's father stood up with a smile, took the eco-friendly bag, and prepared to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables.
Han Ye looked at his father's somewhat pale temples, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
His father is a librarian, his mother is an elementary school teacher, although he is stable, but his salary is indeed relatively meager, and his usual life is simple, even if he sends back the money, he is still reluctant to spend it, and it is still there for him to buy a house in the future.
When he comes back from vacation this time, he should improve the lives of his parents, reduce their burden, and let them not work so hard.
So, he snatched his father's eco-friendly bag and said, "Dad, you rest at home, I'm on vacation anyway, I'll go." ”
After saying that, I changed my shoes and went out.
