After Chen's father and Chen's mother came out, they worked on the construction site because they had no education. Xiaoxi heard her father say that her mother was very able to endure hardships at that time, and it was effortless to push a cart of sand and put a bag of cement on it. Working on the construction site, women are men's servants and men are donkeys.

On this day, Chen's father took advantage of the rest to go to Jiangmen City to get some documents.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Chen's mother sent Chen's father out, "Slow down on the road, pay attention to safety, and come back early when you are done." ”

Chen's father carried the hundred yuan in his pocket and hurried to the long-distance bus station. Chen's mother sent Chen's father away, went back to the house to brush the pots and pans, and then began to wash the dirty laundry accumulated in the past few days.

When he arrived at the bus station, Chen's father spent 12 yuan to Jiangmen City. got out of the car, came to the place, asked someone to get the documents (at that time, it was fashionable to do fake documents), it was already more than eleven o'clock when I came out, and Chen's father planned to find a restaurant to eat and then go back.

After walking two streets, I found a fast food restaurant, the price was very cheap, Chen's father walked in and greeted the waiter, because the dishes were fried and placed in the glass cabinet, and directly ordered a spicy chicken and a pot meat.

Sitting behind the dining table, while waiting for the meal, Chen's father took out the money in his trouser pocket and planned to pay directly later. But he put his hand in his trouser pocket, no, and touched the other pockets again, and Chen's father realized that the remaining dozens of dollars were lost.

Seeing that the waiter hasn't come out yet, I don't want to have no money to pay the bill after eating, so I quickly slip away.

Chen's father, who slipped out, saw that he had no money and couldn't get in the car, so he hurried back.

After walking for three or four hours, I was really hungry and pressed my chest against my back, so I climbed over the grid of the highway, intending to go to the field to find two cucumbers to nibble.

As a result, when I arrived at the vegetable field, I saw that there were still cucumbers, and the cucumber vines were gone, and when I saw two cabbage stalks next to them, I pulled them up and took two bites. I saw a few vegetable heads next to me, they were very hard, and the skin couldn't be gnawed off, so Chen's father picked it up and threw it on the stone on the side, which broke in a few clicks, and the meat inside was also eaten.

Solving the problem of hunger, Dad Chen moved on again. At this time, a long-distance bus from Jiangmen to Foshan came on the highway, and Chen's father was really tired, so he hurriedly waved the driver to stop and wanted to get in the car.

After getting into the car, he said to the driver: "Master, I'm going to Beifang, can you call me when you get there?"

The driver saw that he was walking on the highway alone, sweating profusely, covered in ashes, and estimated that he was walking a lot, so he nodded without saying anything, closed the car door and continued to drive.

After waiting in Beifang, Chen's father saw that the driver didn't open his mouth, and he pretended not to see it, and when he almost arrived at the bus station in Foshan City, he walked to the driver's side and said, "Master, I said it all, I'm going to Beifang, what are you pulling me here for?"

The driver was stunned and said frankly: "I know that you part-time workers have no money, so hurry up and go down." He looked at Chen's father with a knowing look and opened the car door.

Dad Chen saw that he didn't have to bother talking anymore, so he rubbed the car for free, thanked him and got out of the car quickly.

When it was dark, Chen's father left Foshan City exhausted and was about to arrive at the toll station in Guangzhou. He looked at the passing cars, and then at the sky, and knew that he didn't know when he would be able to go on like this.

After thinking about it, he decided to take a taxi back. Having made up his mind, Chen's father stood on the side of the highway and waved to stop a motorcycle.

"Hello, master, are you going to Guangzhou?" asked Chen's father.

"Of course you go if you have money to make, where are you going?"

"Tianhe District. ”

"Yes. The master nodded in agreement.

Of course, you have to ask the price in advance, "How much does it cost to get there?"

"It's okay to get there for ten yuan, but you have to charge at the toll booth, and you can just give fifty for this time and again." The master didn't want to pay the toll in vain, so he spread it out to Chen's father one by one.

Father Chen plucked out his ears and asked rhetorically: "What? Fifty, you can grab it, at most ten yuan, you want to lie to me, no way." After that, he walked in the direction of the toll booth.

Turning over the elevated net and bypassing the toll station, Chen's father went directly to stop a motorcycle master, "Master, go to Tianhe District, ten yuan, do you want to go?"

Seeing that business came to the door, the master hurriedly said, "Go, you get in the car." ”

It was almost twelve o'clock when I got home, Chen's father got out of the car and said to the motorcycle master: "Master, I don't have any money with me, you wait for me to get some money, I'll come right away." ”

When the master saw where he lived, he knew that he was a migrant worker, and it was not easy for everyone to earn a hard money outside, so he forgave and said, "Okay, you go, I'll wait for you here." ”

Good man, this has to be put on hold in modern times, who believes it.

When he arrived at the door, Chen's father thought about it, this big night, his daughter-in-law should have slept, she wanted to know that she had lost her money, and she had to make a disturbance again. So he turned around and went to his brother's house.

"Knock knock knock", Chen Wenxue got up from the bed with a somersault, lowered his voice and asked cautiously: "Who?"

Seeing that it was dark all around, Father Chen also lowered his voice and replied, "It's me." ”

"Brother?" Chen Wenxue was very surprised, it was his eldest brother, he quickly turned on the light, opened the door and let Chen's father in, "Brother, why did you come back so late, I heard my sister-in-law say that you went to Jiangmen early in the morning, so you should have come back early?"

Father Chen hurriedly interrupted, "I'll talk about this later, give me ten yuan first, and I'll pay the fare." ”

This confuses Chen Wenxue, what's wrong with this, "Huh?

Seeing that the master had been waiting outside for a while, Father Chen said anxiously: "Oh, you give me ten yuan first, and I'll explain it to you later." ”

"That's fine. Then he took out a ten-yuan bill from his trouser pocket and gave it to Chen's father.

Quickly took it, Father Chen walked a few steps, handed the money to the master, smiled gratefully, and said, "Master, thank you so much for sending me back today, I originally wanted you to go in and sit, but this time is not too early, I am afraid that you will be delayed to go home." ”

The master waved his hand, "Where, where, this is what I should do." I've got you there, and I've got to hurry home. ”

"That's okay, you hurry home, then I won't delay you, pay attention to safety on the road. ”

After returning to the house, Chen Wenxue asked anxiously, "Brother, what's going on?"

Chen's father said casually: "It's not a big deal...... and then told his brother everything that happened today.

Sending his brother to the door, Chen Wenxue said: "That's okay, brother, go back quickly, go to bed early, there will be work tomorrow." ”

"Well, you go back to sleep too. Nodding, Father Chen waved his hand, "You go back quickly, I'll go back too." ”

Hearing the sound, Chen's mother quickly withdrew her ears that were attached to the door and returned to the bed lightly.

"Knock knock, Guihua, open the door. Afraid of disturbing the neighbors, Chen's father said very quietly, but there was no sound in the house for a long time, and Chen's father shouted again, "Guihua, open the door, I'm back." After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps.

"I'm back, let's go to sleep. Chen's mother calmly turned around and walked to the side of the bed and lay down.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law didn't ask anything, Chen's father quickly changed his clothes, turned off the light, lay down his tired body, and closed his eyes.

Listening to the snoring sound in her ears, Chen's mother opened her eyes and glared at Chen's father angrily and distressedly by the light outside.

Before dawn the next morning, Chen's father woke up and wanted to go to the bathroom.

This area is full of bungalows, inhabited by migrant workers, and there is only one public toilet. So many people share a toilet, so how can it be a "dirty mess", but everyone is used to it, the farmers have never done any dirty work, they have not seen it, and they don't care.

Usually Chen's father also goes to the public toilet, but when he got up this morning, I don't know if he hadn't woken up yet, or if he had walked too much yesterday and left sequelae, so he ran all the way to the back mountain.

When I got up and walked back, I seemed to see a colorful thing on the ground, because it was not yet dawn, and I didn't see it clearly, so I approached both sides and picked it up and saw that it was a roll of money. When it was opened, there were two twenty pieces on the outside, and fifty-two pieces on the inside, for a total of ninety-two dollars.

Dad Chen couldn't help but be happy, he lost money yesterday and picked up money today, this money has to be his own after all.

Chen's mother saw Chen's father coming in from outside the door with a happy face, and said with a bad face: "So happy, picked up the money?" Knowing that Chen's father lost the money yesterday, she deliberately said this.

As soon as Chen's father thought about it, he knew that his daughter-in-law knew that he had lost money, so he pretended to be surprised and asked, "How do you know, you secretly followed me to the toilet." ”

"Phew, whoever sneaked into the toilet with you, shameless. Ease your face, and ask again, "Did you really pick up the money?"

Father Chen sat down, "Of course, why lie to you." He took out the money in his pocket, and then explained everything he had just done.

Mother Chen's anger disappeared when she thought about it, and she was ruined to avoid disasters, and besides, this is not a ruin, but people have suffered a little, but none of them have suffered a little. pushed Chen's father, "Okay, hurry up and put it away, this time it should be a lesson, you have to tighten the money in the future, and you can't lose it again." Get up and eat, you have to go to work today. ”

Thinking that he had picked up the money in the morning, Chen's father got off work and bought pork leg meat and went home to let Chen's mother stew a big pot, and then called a group of fellow villagers and a few good people on the construction site to sit in a room full of people, drink wine and eat meat.

After they were full of wine and food, they all went home to wash, and a few fellow villagers said that they wanted to fry the golden flowers, so they continued to sell them again.

Dad Chen unveiled the cards in his hand, the straight flush was still the biggest, this shit luck, hurry up and bet.

After playing a few games, Dad Chen already had a thick stack of paper tickets in front of him, and he was very lucky this night.

In fact, the main reason is that Chen's father is bold, and the cards are also very good. His cards are small, and others have similar cards to him, but they are not as bold as him; when he has a good hand, he raises hard, and he overwhelms others in momentum.

"Oh, if you don't play, don't play, you lose everything, this Chen Wen's luck tonight is good, and he has been winning. He also peeked at the stack of money in front of Chen's father.

The rules on the card table, since someone doesn't play, then break up. Each of them took out the money on his body and began to calculate whether he won or lost.

"Hi, I lost quite a bit today. ”

"Me too. ”

"I also lost more than a hundred. ”

"Then, Chen Wenwen's family won tonight. ”

"How much to win?"

"Wait a minute, I'll count. He pinched the bills in his hand and began to count. Trying to suppress the joy in his heart, he raised the ticket in his hand, "A total of nine hundred and forty-five." ”

"That's right, that's it for tonight, go back. "When I heard so much money, my heart and liver hurt, so I hurried home to heal.
