Chapter 16: The Family's Surprise
Compared with other graduates who have entered the company, Lu Wenbin, who is also a graduate, is undoubtedly a freelancer. Knowing that something happened at home, Lu Wenbin felt that he should go back and see if it was reasonable, and it was time to report back to his family.
Although the situation of his parents is a bit similar to the layoff of dual-income workers in his previous life. But Lu Wenbin knows that for his parents, their best years have been contributed to the farm. Now that he has been suddenly laid off, where to go is also a big question!
Listening to his sister's voice with a hint of crying, Lu Wenbin still said very calmly: "Xiaohan, don't worry! I'll come back tomorrow, and I'll talk about everything when I come back." There's a brother here, don't be afraid!"
Saying these words from the heart means that Lu Wenbin has accepted this identity physically and mentally, and has also accepted these people who are the most important to him in this life. After all, in his previous life, he had also looked forward to having a home countless times!
If it were the same as before, if you learned such sudden news, I was afraid that the host would only be in a hurry. can be replaced by Lu Wenbin at this moment, even if his parents don't work, with his current income, he is fully capable of supporting his family.
Thinking that in the past, I used to take a train home from the imperial capital to Minchang County, where my hometown is located, and it took at least two or three days on the road. Lu Wenbin, who was not short of money for the time being, finally chose to book a direct ticket from the imperial capital to his hometown and Khotan.
In that case, he might be able to get home tomorrow evening. Returning home early can also give your family peace of mind sooner!
After booking the ticket, Lu Wenbin saved all the chapters that need to be uploaded to the background to set the release time. After packing some luggage, I rested and waited for the dawn to come.
Because he is a freelancer, Lu Wenbin's itinerary is completely free. In addition, he didn't have many friends in the imperial capital, and Lu Wenbin, who went home, didn't tell anyone, and dragged a suitcase on the way home the next day.
When the plane landed at Khotan airport, looking at this dual-use airport, it seemed that there were not many flights taking off and landing every day. It's just that Khotanese jade is very famous, so the passenger flow of this airport is generally not bad.
In his previous life, Lu Wenbin, who also knew that the jade here was famous, knew that there were not many jade resources that could be mined in Khotan today. Even after the spate of illegal mining in previous years, the state government finally issued a ban on private mining.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Lu Wenbin, and Khotanese jade, which is tens of thousands or even more expensive, is not something that ordinary people can consume at all. Coming out of the airport, Lu Wenbin directly stopped a taxi.
Talking about the place to go, the taxi driver seemed happy. The reason is that Minchang, where Lu Wenbin's hometown is located, is still a little far from the airport. Therefore, it is also a long journey, which is undoubtedly a good job for taxi drivers.
After negotiating the price, Lu Wenbin looked at the scenery outside the car window all the way, recalling some things about the host's family and hometown. And Lu Wenbin's family is also the descendants of immigrants who moved from the Central Plains in response to the call of the empire in the early years of Beiyi.
When it comes to Lu Wenbin's generation, he should be called a third-generation shifter. His grandfather was an officer in the Tuntian army stationed in Khotan in his early years, and after the end of the war, he was transferred from the military to the civilian Tuntian Beiyi and Khotan, and finally gave birth to Lu Wenbin's father.
And Lu Wenbin's father, as a child born on a military reclamation farm, also joined the army in his early years. After retiring, he also went to work on the farm. As for Lu Wenbin's mother, she is also a descendant of immigrants from the military reclamation farm.
It's just that as the shadow of the war dissipated, the military reclamation farm was no longer thriving in its early years. Especially in recent years, this kind of farm, which still has the color of collectivization, has been unable to adapt to the changes in the market economic situation, and it is normal for bankruptcy protection to be declared eventually.
Recalling these past events stored in the host's memory, Lu Wenbin was somewhat surprised to find that the Taklamakan Desert, which was supposed to exist in his previous life, although this time and space still exists, the area seems to be much less.
To be precise, the Yanhuang Empire in this time and space is indeed doing better than another time and space in terms of desertification control and environmental protection. Perhaps because of this, Lu Wenbin, who was in the imperial capital, had no chance to continue to taste the breath of haze.
The place where Lu Wenbin's hometown is located is not unfamiliar to many people in Khotan. Unity Farm, a name that Lu Wenbin sounds like and feels a little kind. Almost all of the residents of the farm are descendants of immigrants who migrated to Beiyi in the early years.
For this farm, Lu Wenbin's understanding is somewhat similar to the construction corps that also existed in this area in his previous life. In the early years, the farm was a military reclamation farm at the border of the soldiers, and after the war, the farm was converted from military to civilian, and it became what it is now.
When the taxi arrived at the gate of the farm, looking at the tall and sturdy farm wall, Lu Wenbin could also feel the existence of a military base. But he knew that many of these walls had now been demolished.
Walking into the farm with luggage, you can see residents entering and leaving the farm from time to time. It's just that Lu Wenbin didn't see any acquaintances. It's just that considering that there are tens of thousands of residents living in it, the probability of meeting neighbors is really not high.
It wasn't until he walked into the residential building where he was located and looked at the rows of old five-story buildings that Lu Wenbin suddenly felt that if he had the conditions, he might want to change the house for his family. As far back as he can remember, the building was older than his father's.
As soon as he stepped into the residential building, a middle-aged man who walked down the corridor said with a little surprise: "Wen Bin, why are you back?"
Looking at the middle-aged man's surprised expression, Lu Wenbin quickly found the memory of the other party in his mind, and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, go out! ”
'Didn't you graduate?'
'yes!' After graduating, it just happened to be nothing, so I thought I would go home and have a look. You're busy first, I'll go up first!'
'Okay, come back, you know about your family, right?'
'Got it, that's why I came back to see if I could help!'
After chatting with each other for a few words, Lu Wenbin came to the third floor where his house was located with his suitcase. From Uncle Chen's worried expression before, Lu Wenbin could somewhat guess that this time the farm declared bankruptcy and closure, I am afraid that many farm workers are a little overwhelmed!
After knocking on the door, the door was quickly opened, only to see Lu Wenbin standing at the door, the person who opened the door seemed to be surprised: "Xiaobin, why are you back?"
'Mom!' I just happened to be fine, so I'll come back and see. There's such a big thing going on at home, and you're still going to hide it from me? I've graduated, so I should share some of it for my family. Is Dad at home?'
It's okay, your dad and I are trying to find a job!"
For her son's sudden return, Lu's mother did seem a little surprised. In her opinion, if something like this happens at home, even if she tells her son, it is useless, but it will make her son worried.
When they are away from home, their children are accustomed to reporting good news to their distant family members rather than bad news. But the family is the same for their children who are far away, they like to carry everything by themselves, and they don't like to add any psychological burden to their children.
Compared with Lu's father and Lu's mother's surprise, her sister Lu Jinghan said happily: "Brother, why did you come back so soon?"
'Coming back by plane!, here's a gift for you, see if you like it?'
With a smile, he took out a music player he bought at the airport from his suitcase, and handed over an electronic product similar to an MP4 from his previous life. Seeing that Lu Wenbin also brought such an expensive gift to himself, Lu Jinghan naturally seemed very happy.
'Wow, it's Phantom 4!Great!Brother, thank you!'
"Study hard, and when you go to college, my brother will give you a notebook, how about it?"
'Okay!
As a dual-income farmer, the farm is not profitable, and the income of his parents is naturally not high. For himself to study music and go to college, and for a daughter to study. Lu's father and Lu's mother are undoubtedly thrifty people, and they can't wait to spend a penny as two cents.
Looking at Lu's father's slightly displeased expression, Lu Wenbin also said in a timely manner: "Dad, don't worry, I earned this money myself." This is a watch I bought for you, I don't know if you like it or not! Mom, this is a necklace bought for you, you try it quickly!"
took out a high-end men's watch and a fashionable gold necklace, and handed them to his parents one by one. Just when Lu's father was about to ask, Lu Wenbin said again: "Dad, there is such a big thing, you shouldn't hide it from me!"
'Okay, let's talk about it, where are these things?' I'm calling you, didn't you say you haven't found a job yet?'
I already have a good job, free time, and a good income. So, I'm not going to look for a job!'
Facing his suspicious father, Lu Wenbin took out ten stacks of 100 yuan bills from the inner layer of the suitcase, as well as two documents for selling songs, and handed them to the family members who were shocked again.
smiled and said: "Dad, this is the money I just earned after graduation, and I spent some money on renting a house in the imperial capital." There are another 100,000 yuan, all of which are stored in bank cards. If you need to, you can go to the bank and withdraw it later. ”
For Lu's father and mother, whose annual family income is less than 100,000 a year, the impact of 100,000 cash is indeed great. Knowing that this was only half of Lu Wenbin's earnings, his parents were undoubtedly even more surprised, and they began to wonder what kind of job was so profitable!
