On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, it was time for the whole family to have a reunion dinner.

From the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month to the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Xu Wenqing, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liao family, does not need to do anything at all, the things in the kitchen, mainly the second daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Kaixiu is old, the food he cooks is not very delicious, and he usually cooks okay, but it is difficult to make a reunion dinner, this is not that Xu Wenqing wants to be lazy, she originally wanted to go to the kitchen to do it, but as long as she took a step in the direction of the kitchen, she was immediately blocked by Sun Kaixiu.

The atmosphere at home is very good, and it is completely different from last year.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liao Zebing lit firecrackers.

Liao Tiangui still gave red envelopes to his grandchildren, including Liao Zexi, Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing, all of whom took out red envelopes, but Liao Fanmin no longer had red envelopes and New Year's money, because he was already a college student and was already regarded as an adult by his family.

Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing's red envelopes to Liao Fanyao were all 1,000 yuan, Liao Tiangui gave 500 yuan, and Liao Zexi's New Year's money to Liao Fanyao was 2,000 yuan.

This is also the first time that Liao Fanyao has received the most New Year's money from the family.

Liao Fanmin no longer needs to give Liao Fanyao money, the total amount of money and red envelopes that Liao Fanyao got during the Chinese New Year this year is tens of thousands of yuan, most of the money is kept by Liao Fanyao himself, and none of the red envelopes that Liao Fanmin got were left, all of them were handed over to his mother Xu Wenqing.

Liao Zexi doesn't need to give much money to his brothers in his hometown, Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing's monthly salary is 2,000 yuan, and at the end of the year, everyone got a bonus of 60,000 yuan, and they have become the most wealthy households in the village.

Both families killed two pigs this year, and each family prepared two pig's trotters, as well as some other pork, and after baking, let Xu Wenqing take it home, after all, it was a home-fed pig, and it was more comfortable to eat.

At the reunion dinner, Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing both expressed their stance in front of Liao Fanyao, this time they were admitted to the university, they each took out 5,000 yuan to congratulate, of course the second daughter-in-law and the old daughter-in-law will not object, they know very well that the great change in the family's situation is completely due to the uncle's family.

After the New Year's dinner, the second daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law cleaned up, Xu Wenqing held the child of the eldest daughter-in-law, took Liao Fanyao and two nieces and nieces, and walked around outside for a while, Liao Tiangui, Liao Zexi, Liao Zetian, Liao Zebing and Liao Fanmin went to the next room to roast the fire.

After picking up the teacup, Liao Tiangui looked at Liao Zexi and spoke.

"The eldest and the second and the eldest came back this time, and said their thoughts, after the house was built, they planned to take their lovers and children to Nanhua City, the two children of the second child, seeing that they were about to go to school, they were always at home, the primary school in the village was not good, the teacher did not care, and they could not learn much things, so they delayed the children, if they went to school in the city, no one greeted them, and they did not work, they felt that we were old, and they helped to take three children, and they could not bear it, and the old man was also ready to have a child, so that he could not greet him, what do you see。 ”

Liao Fanmin looked at his father Liao Zexi, from the bottom of his heart, he thought that the second uncle and the second uncle were right, if the second aunt and the second aunt had been staying in the countryside, they would become left-behind women, but judging from the current situation, all of them went to Nanhua City, and there were still difficulties in life, so it was best to wait for about a year to two years, and after saving some money, follow them to Nanhua City, so that it was feasible.

Sure enough, Liao Zexi spoke.

"Dad, the idea of the second and the youngest is feasible, but it is not suitable at present, the two have not been in Nanhua City for a long time, and they are not necessarily completely familiar with the situation in Nanhua City, and now the wife and children are in Nanhua City, the expenses must have increased significantly, and there is not much money to save every month, or wait for a year to two years or so, and wait until the child is a little older, you can consider Nanhua City to study, the educational conditions in Nanhua City must be better, and then the second and the eldest child's lover and children will all go to Nanhua City, and parents can live more in the city, and occasionally come back to see it。 ”

Liao Fanmin secretly gave a thumbs up to his father.

Liao Zexi glared at Liao Fanmin.

After listening to Liao Zexi's words, Liao Tiangui nodded again and again.

"I think the same way, now to Nanhua City, it's still not suitable, after fifteen years to build a house, build such a big house, completely empty, it's definitely not cost-effective, how to live for a while, and the second and the youngest, can't always work outside, they still have to come home in the future... ”

Liao Zetian and Liao Zebing did not speak, apparently they acquiesced.

After the discussion, Liao Zexi took Liao Fanmin and still went out for a walk, and at this time, others would not bother.

"Xiaomin, what do you think of the second and youngest children's thoughts. ”

"I think it's very good, the family lives together, so as not to be separated for a long time, maybe the second uncle and the second uncle will live in Nanhua City in the future and will not come back. ”

Liao Zexi looked at Liao Fanmin for a while before speaking.

"Xiaomin, what you think is too simple, the second and youngest children's thoughts, I'm afraid they are the same as you, such an idea is not valid, they will eventually return to their hometown, they may live in the city to retire, but it is basically impossible to stay in Nanhua City. ”

"Dad, I think it's possible. ”

"There are a lot of things in the countryside you don't understand, although the second and the youngest do things in Nanhua City, but in the end they still work in the company, there can be no sense of belonging, they have lived in the countryside for many years, there is not much knowledge, no matter how high their current income is, how much money they can save, they can't integrate into the big city after all, because they have no foundation, no strength, can not get the recognition of the big city, food, clothing, housing, medical care, etc., any thing needs money, if in the local area, they can spend less or even no money, but not in Nanhua City, as long as they take a step, they need to use money, the most important thing is one point, they can't blend into the big city... ”

Liao Fanmin couldn't speak, because what his father Liao Zexi said was completely right.

After rural children are admitted to college, they are often called phoenix men in big cities, and this kind of phoenix men are often very good in their own abilities, and they can gain a foothold in any unit, make a career, and get a high salary, but their families have such and such problems, because they have too many responsibilities, they are the pride of the family, so they must do a lot of things that the family cannot do.

The second uncle and the second uncle have lived in the countryside for many years, because of the limitations of knowledge and knowledge, it is difficult to fully accept the ideas and breath of the big city, they are thrifty, never moonlight, they are simple, full of thoughts of the family and children, desperately earn money is to make the conditions of the family better, so that the wife and children can be fed and clothed, they have no ambition, and will not have the idea of starting a business, in the final analysis, they are not thinking about taking root in the big city, but thinking about letting the wife and children see the prosperity of the big city.

"Xiaomin, what do you think? ”

"It's nothing, I think Dad is completely right. ”

"Xiaomin, don't look at your second uncle and uncle, you are different from them, Yaoyao and the two of you, it is impossible to return to Xuanming City, your mother and I have long been prepared for this, you are destined to stay in the big city, and it is not okay to reluctantly let you return to Xuanming City, you are not suitable for life in a small city, in fact, your mother and I have long wanted to talk to you about these things, you study hard in college, and after graduating from college, go according to your own ideas, don't think about how your family is, your mother and I have salaries, and there is no problem with eating and dressing。 ”

"Dad, don't you want to go to the metropolis. ”

"What are you talking about, your mother and I both have jobs, if there is no job, what do we eat, we can't add to the burden on you, you and Yaoyao are just starting out, qualified to break through, we can't do it, follow the steps, work honestly." ”

Speaking of this, Liao Zexi's eyes looked into the distance.

"Actually, when I was transferred from the army, I was able to stay in the north, but your grandfather wanted me to go home, and your mother's job transfer was not easy to handle, so I gave up... ”

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the first lunar month, two o'clock in the afternoon.

The car from the city government office was already waiting in front of the village elementary school, and the driver was helping to carry things.

Liao Zebing carried the package on his back and followed Liao Fanmin's side.

"Xiaomin, the second child and I are leaving on the ninth day of the first lunar month, when will you go to Nanhua City. ”

"I can't say, maybe after the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

"Why is it so late, is there nothing going on in the company? ”

"I don't care about the company for the time being. ”

"Why, aren't you doing anything at New Century Company? ”

"No, I don't ask about the small things in the company, and I will only come to me when there are big things. ”

"So that's the case, it's best to do this, the second child a few years ago, I had dinner with Liao Fugui, Liao Fugui seems to be getting married this year, he said that when he gets married, he will definitely invite you, I really envy Liao Fugui, to be able to live and start a family in Nanhua City. ”

Liao Fanmin turned his head and looked at Liao Zebing.

"Uncle, in fact, life is the same everywhere, big cities have the benefits of big cities, and small places have the leisure of small places. ”

"I know, that is, think about it, it is impossible for the second child and me to live in Nanhua City, and it depends on how the children are in the future. ”

Hearing Liao Zebing say this, Liao Fanmin breathed a sigh of relief.

Liao Zebing's changes, Liao Fanmin sees it in his eyes, the clothes he wears are better, and the grade of smoking is also higher, not that these changes should not be, after all, he gets a salary, his income is higher, and his life should naturally change, otherwise making money will lose its meaning, but such a change, don't come too fast, let alone indulge in it.
