Chapter 33: Change
After participating in the launch conference of "Love Apartment", Zhu Ziqing left Wuhan University and returned to his hometown. No way, Zhu's father and Zhu's mother call a day. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious, that is, he hoped that he would go back as soon as possible.
It has been more than half a month since the holiday, and Zhu Ziqing is not good at delaying. And he was really worried about Zhu's father and Zhu's mother, so after the matter was dealt with, he bought a ticket back.
Originally, he wanted to take a plane, but there was no direct ZZ flight from Wuhan, so he could only take the bullet train. What disappointed him was that Lin Baoer still couldn't get out, and he could only go back alone.
However, before leaving, he found Chen Guoli and told him clearly. Let the crew be honest and don't do something unclean at school. In fact, it is implying that Chen Guoli put away his dirty thoughts and don't hit Zhao Ziqi's idea.
But in Chen Guoli's opinion, Zhu Ziqing was afraid that his little lover would suffer in the crew and didn't dare to say it clearly, so he implied that he would protect her so vaguely. He patted his chest and said that he had handed it over to him, and he would definitely protect the students of Wuhan University and prevent them from losing a single hair. also gave Zhu Ziqing a look that I understand.
His obscene appearance made Zhu Ziqing very uneasy, but it was not good to continue to say anything. After thinking about it, he found Teacher Liang Xuewen and told him to be optimistic about the students and not to do things that disgrace the reputation of the school.
Under Mr. Liang's repeated assurances, he was a little relieved. After saying goodbye to Lin Bao'er, he boarded the train home.
His home is in the county seat, and there is no railway or airplane. If you want to go home, you have to go to the provincial capital and then take a four-hour bus ride to get home.
Zhu Ziqing remembers that a few years ago, there was only one dilapidated asphalt road that had been used for twenty or thirty years. It takes six or seven hours to travel to and from the provincial capital, and it can jolt people to death.
Fortunately, a few years ago, a highway passed by their county seat, and they were able to get out of that bumpy life. The time it takes to travel between the two places has also been cut by nearly half.
Even so, I set out at dawn in the morning and didn't return home until near dusk.
"Son. You're back. Come in, come in, come in. Mother Zhu opened the door and saw that it was Zhu Ziqing, and she was very happy.
"Tired or not...... Thirsty or not...... Hungry or not...... "Concerned words struck like a machine gun.
If it were replaced by other children of the same age, it is estimated that they would have been impatient for a long time. But his mental age is over thirty years old, and he has experienced a lot, and he only feels that these words are very warm. With a smile on his face, he listened quietly to Zhu's mother's nagging.
"Dad, haven't come back yet?" When Zhu's mother finally stopped, Zhu Ziqing asked emptyly.
"Now is the time when business is good, your dad is at the supermarket. I won't be back until ten o'clock. Zhu's mother replied.
"Oh. I know. Can he come over by himself? Or I'll go over and help him." Zhu Ziqing didn't say anything about the money in the family, he didn't care about the two jujubes, and asked Zhu's father to close the store early and come back.
Men cannot live without their own careers. This is true for young people, for middle-aged people, and even for some older people. Father Zhu is only in his forties, and he is in the golden stage of life, and he also has his own pursuits.
Although the son is very powerful, he earns enough money for them to spend several lifetimes. But that was the son's career, not his. He also has his own ideals.
Opening a supermarket is the ideal he has been fighting for for more than ten years, and now he is full of enthusiasm to realize his ideal.
"Tired. And you don't have to do it yourself. The store hired three or four people to do the work, and your dad just talked about it. You must be tired from running all the way back, so rest at home. Speaking of this, Zhu's mother said with palpitations: "Your current identity is not ordinary, if outsiders see that you are back, don't think about living in peace." ”
"Is it as exaggerated as you say?" said Zhu Ziqing with some disbelief.
"More exaggerated than I said. The secretary of the county magistrate, the director and the director, ran to our supermarket when they saw the sky, and your father had no common language with them, and now he has a headache when he sees them. That's it, anyone with a little background in the county who has a happy event at home will post to us regardless of whether they know each other or not.
It's not okay not to go. Last time, there was a director named Bai or something. His nephew got married and sent us a post. Your dad and I thought we wouldn't go if we didn't know each other. As a result, he personally drove to invite us, and you said what we could do. ”
Zhu's mother also complained with a stomach. The conversation box opened and talked endlessly.
"Our school is the same, you said that I teach junior high school geography, and it is already good to have an intermediate teacher title. The school has to apply for some senior title for me. With my level, I don't have that qualification. After a long time, the principal finally talked to me personally.
Later, I was promoted to be a leader, how could I do it. Dead and alive pushed him away. But the principal still didn't give up, and asked me to attend every school meeting. You say that people are in a hurry, but people are not in a hurry. ”
"And the old neighbors who look at us differently now. Speaking in front of us is called a fake. I saw them talking and laughing from a distance several times, and when I approached, I didn't say anything. Your mother, I can't even find anyone to talk to when I go out now. ”
"There are also those seven aunts and eight aunts, relatives and friends who are related to each other, just thinking about taking advantage of you. I don't want to think about how they treated us back then. Now that we're doing well, we want to pounce and suck blood, but there is no door. ”
Zhu Ziqing also heard Zhu's mother talk about the things back then. At that time, the family was very poor, not to mention that they had eaten the last meal or not, and it was just enough to satisfy their stomachs.
Once my grandmother was sick and needed money urgently, so Zhu's mother went to borrow money. As a result, a circle of relatives turned around, and only two or three families were willing to help one or two. The others made excuses and refused.
Zhu's father and Zhu's mother sold everything they could buy, but they still didn't have enough medical expenses. In the end, Zhu's father and Zhu Ziqing's uncle were forced to sell blood to barely scrape together enough medical expenses and save grandma.
This incident had a great impact on Zhu's mother, and she has not forgotten it until now. So except for the relatives who helped at the beginning, she never paid attention to the rest. It's as if there is no such relative.
In the past, the Zhu family was just an ordinary family, ignoring it, and those relatives who refused to help didn't care. But now it's different, the Zhu family is developed. Those so-called relatives began to come and deal with them cheekily, intending to get help.
"Well, people like that don't need to pay attention to them. They do whatever they like, and we don't see them at all. As long as we get along with the people who have helped us. ”
"I thought the same way, so I kicked these people out. ”
"Anything else?" asked Zhu Ziqing.
"Yes, since you've been on vacation, people have come every day to ask if you've come back. Say it's when you're back, you're going to name and eat. Here's the list, you look at it or not. Zhu's mother handed over a notepad and said. (To be continued.) )
PS: After writing the second update at 1:37 in the middle of the night, I couldn't open my sleepy eyes. Wake up at eight o'clock tomorrow and go to work. I can't live this day.
The recommendation ticket is so desolate, do you have an inexhaustible recommendation ticket to one?
