Chapter 003: The Past Is Unbearable
In the blink of an eye, Wang Can has been unemployed for more than half a month, but his new job has not been found.
Qingcheng is just a second-tier coastal city, not particularly large, and there are only a few food companies with a slight scale, and most of them quickly heard about Wang Can's beating of the deputy director into a eunuch, although everyone applauded him in private, but no company dared to use him.
After the incident, Wang Can and Lin Xiaojing quarreled and fought coldly for several days. The two finally communicated calmly last night. Lin Xiaojing accepted the fact that he was unemployed again, hoped that he would cheer up and start again, and took the initiative to live a long-lost married life with him, but because Wang Can was under too much pressure, the effect was very average.
This Saturday was the 70th birthday of Wang Can's father-in-law, the old man of the Lin family, and there were many people in and out of the house. Over the years, for various reasons, Wang Can has been living in the Lin family.
Coming out of the house, Wang Can found a place nearby to order a cake, which was something she specially explained after talking to Lin Xiaojing last night, and asked him to take the opportunity of the old man's birthday tomorrow to say something good to his eldest brother and sister-in-law and apologize, no matter what the reason, his impulsive behavior did have a great impact on the eldest brother's work.
After ordering the cake, Wang Can took the bus to Donghu Park, in recent years he often spent time in this park, which is a haven for him, he is very familiar with every grass and tree in the park, and several old men who often play chess in the park have become his chess friends.
At this time, the park is full of greenery and flowers, and there is a lot of life everywhere, and many young parents bring their children out to play. Sitting on a park bench, Wang Can looked at those happy families of three, and was very envious! He couldn't understand that he was almost 30 years old, why even such a simple life had become a luxury?
It has been 12 years since he came to Binhai University at the age of 18, when will he be able to live like a person? The bored Wang Can couldn't help but recall the road he has traveled over the years!
Wang Can was born in a remote mountain village in a neighboring province, his parents were farmers, and he was very old, and he had an older sister who was more than ten years older than him, but he was married when he was a teenager. It may be that the age difference between the two is too big, and she married early, so the relationship between the two is not very deep, and they rarely contact each other, and they have not heard from each other for many years. When he returned to his hometown two years ago, he heard from a neighbor that his sister followed her brother-in-law to work in the south and had not returned for several years.
Wang Can was quite smart when he was a child, so he didn't go out to work after finishing junior high school like most children. He went to high school and then to college. I think the most glorious period of his life should be in high school, although his family background was not good at that time, but because he was smart, he often took the first grade, so no matter what he did, he was full of confidence, and he played well in the college entrance examination, and his results ranked in the top 200 or so in the province.
When filling in the volunteers, the teacher suggested that Wang Can choose a school ranked in the top 10 to top 5 in the country, but with great desire for Tsinghua University, he applied for a major that he thought was unpopular, and thought about going in first. But unfortunately he lost the bet, and the unpopular major that year was not unpopular, and he was not admitted in the end, but was transferred to Qingcheng University to major in computer science.
Although he was very unwilling, because his parents were old and had no conditions to let him repeat his studies, Wang Can came to Qingcheng University with peace of mind. When he first entered college, he wanted to rebuild his glory, and he also put a lot of effort into it, and he won a national scholarship in his freshman and sophomore years.
Unfortunately, his father, who was over 60 years old, died suddenly on a construction site in order to earn his tuition, and his mother had a heart attack when she found out, and the two died on the same day. Wang Can suffered a bigger blow than the college entrance examination, and letting his parents live a good life used to be his biggest motivation to study hard, but his parents gave their lives for their studies, which was really an unbearable burden in his life.
After being decadent for a few months, Wang Can even had the idea of dropping out of school or even committing suicide, but fortunately, at this time he met Lin Xiaojing and found the meaning of living again. In the winter of his junior year, Wang Can signed up for the English Level 6 exam, and Lin Xiaojing was in the same exam room as him, sitting in front of him. However, during the exam, Lin Xiaojing had some accidents, Wang Can took the initiative to take responsibility that did not belong to him, and Lin Xiaojing became his girlfriend because she was grateful to him.
Wang Can's wife Lin Xiaojing is a local, and her home is in Linjiazhuang in the western suburbs, which belongs to the so-called urban-rural junction, and has now been changed from a town to a community. When the two first started to fall in love, because Wang Can's family conditions were very poor, and he was from other places, the Lin family naturally strongly objected, and Lin Xiaojing finally had to force them to compromise with death.
But having said that, although the Lin family is not optimistic about Wang Can, they were able to agree to Lin Xiaojing marrying him in the end, which shows that they are still open and kind, and they are not afraid of poverty and love wealth. The reason why the Lin family objected to the two of them being together was that they were worried that Lin Xiaojing would suffer with Wang Can, and the other was that Wang Can was not worthy of Lin Xiaojing in all aspects, and his face was not good-looking! But when the two were determined to be together, they would not be able to do it.
The Lin family is considered a prominent family in the local area, and the old man Lin Yimin stayed in the army for more than 10 years, and later transferred to work in the local government department, and finally retired as the deputy director of the district CPPCC; Lin's mother also worked in the government department at the earliest, but because of poor health, she retired in advance, although her position is not high, but she has her own set of means for dealing with people, especially in dealing with neighborhood disputes, and it is very neat.
But the most commendable thing is not how the two old men are themselves, but how they have raised all four children to become college students. There are four brothers and sisters in the Lin family, the eldest brother Lin Xiaojun originally studied at the Normal University, worked as a teacher for more than a year after graduation, and later was seconded to the government department by virtue of the old man's relationship, and gradually stepped into a leading position; the second sister Lin Xiaojing went to the local Binhai University School of Medicine, and after graduation became a surgeon in the Municipal People's Hospital, and has become the backbone doctor of the department; the third sister Lin Xiaomin studied business management and also worked in the food company where Wang Can worked, and was the weakest of the four brothers and sisters; the fourth brother Lin Xiaohua was the most promising, and was admitted to Peking University, and went to the United States for further study after graduating from the bachelor's degree。 It is worth mentioning that the third and fourth children are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the two also have a nickname, the girl is called Ruyi, and the boy is called Jixiang!
When he first got married, Wang Can couldn't afford to buy a house, so he could only rent a house outside, and later moved back to the Lin family in order to save money, and Wang Can became the so-called door-to-door son-in-law. However, it is not easy to be a door-to-door son-in-law, in a big family that does not need a door-to-door son-in-law, Wang Can's life is naturally not comfortable, but because he has a wife who loves him deeply, he can't take care of it so much.
