Chapter 20 Parents
Shi Mo and they got off the train at 9 o'clock in the evening, the night in the deep town was not as cold as Shi Mo's hometown, and the three of them wore thick cotton jackets with patches, standing at the gate of this incomparably prosperous railway station, looking out of place.

The streets are full of people, the neon lights of the hotel buildings are constantly shining, and all kinds of cars are constantly flowing, making Shi Mo feel like he has returned to his past life.
Shi Mo roared in his heart; "In 1990, I came."
Shi Mo remembered that Shenzhen in 1990 experienced the chaos in early 1989 and was quelled in the second half of 89.
The root cause of the events of '89 was some corruption at the time. The princelings or individual people who controlled the resources obtained huge profits, and many of them obtained such huge profits in the deep town at that time.
Therefore, after the purification in 1989, there are still a large number of people who have made huge profits, holding coins and waiting for a new opportunity to make a fortune.
Because of this, there was a deep town in 1990, even after experiencing a big chaos, it was able to recover so quickly, which is not unrelated to the fact that there are many previous benefit recipients who are ambushed here.
By the second half of '89, Shenzhen had basically woken up, and there were opportunities to make money everywhere.
In short, in 1990, Shenzhen was basically a disorderly and chaotic market, where everything could be made and everything could be lost, and everyone could make a fortune.
In 1990 in Shenzhen, it was indeed possible to make millions from the stock market or anywhere else, but this was only an isolated case.
Thinking of this, Shi Mo's heart was excited, the glorious door had been opened to his family, and it was up to his parents to have the courage to break through.
Shi Youfu was holding a snakeskin bag in his hand, the bag was half-bulging, and he was looking around for Shi Mo and them.
Shi Mo saw his father from a distance, wearing a winter cotton jacket brought from home on his upper body, full of patches, a pair of cotton pants on his lower body, three patches of blue and green colors on his left and right knees, and a pair of cotton shoes made by his mother with a small hole in the front of the shoes.
Seeing this scene, Shi Mo suddenly felt like he was blocked by something, extremely uncomfortable, and had a feeling that he wanted to cry but couldn't cry.
"Ah Fu, here we are." When Shi Mo's grandmother saw her son-in-law, she waved her hands happily and shouted.
"Hehe, dear mother, you're here." When Shi Youfu saw them, he quickly ran over, put the snakeskin bag on the ground, took the cloth bag in Shi Mo's grandmother's hand, carried it on his shoulder, touched Shi Mo's head with one hand, and said happily.
"Here, you and Fenhua are okay." Grandma Shi Mo said with a smile.
"It's all right, let's go home." Shi Youfu said with a smile.
"You two are stupid in the car, why don't you know how to call someone?" Grandma Shi Mo asked a little strangely.
"Father." Shi Mo and the two shouted in unison.
"Well, don't say it, it's cold outside, let's go home." Shi Youfu said with a smile.
Shi Youfu was about to reach out to grab the snakeskin bag on the ground, but Shi Qian hurriedly snatched it and carried it on his shoulder, Shi Qian lowered his head silently and did not speak.
Shi Youfu saw Shi Qian holding the bag, glanced at him, then grinned, and led them home.
At this time, Shi Youfu's appearance is so different from the people coming and going on the streets of Shenzhen at night, his father is so shabby, and the passers-by are so glamorous.
In the countryside, Shi Qian may not feel anything, because everyone is dressed similarly, but under such an obvious contrast, Shi Qian fell silent.
Shi Mo also lost the strength to speak, and the group walked slowly in the dark night of the deep town.
Only Shi Mo's grandmother was still chatting with Shi Youfu, without a word.
Half an hour later, Shi Mo and the others finally came to the place where their father was staying, a single room on the third floor, about twenty or thirty square meters, with a bed in the room, and a table for eating, on which three or four hot dishes were placed.
In the corner next to the bed, there are two bulging cloth bags, which look like the clothes brought by the parents from home, and there is a small balcony next to the room, on which are hung a few clothes, and under the clothes are some empty plastic bottles, neatly arranged in a pile.
On the other side of the balcony, there was a pitch-black table with a gas stove on it, and Wu Fenhua was stir-frying something in the pot at this time.
"Mother, you're here." Wu Fen said with a smile as she stir-fried the vegetables.
"Well, here we are, I'll help you bring these two little ones too." Grandma Shi Mo replied with a smile on her face.
"Mother." The two Shi Mo brothers called in deep voices.
"You two little guys are here, eat, eat, what's wrong with you two, are you unhappy to see me, why do you have such an expression?" Wu Fenhua saw her two children, her expression was a little dull, she looked unhappy, and asked strangely.
"No, happy, happy, eat." Shi Mo suppressed the sadness in his heart and shouted pretending to be happy.
"That's right, don't forget to wash your hands, come, I'll take you." Wu Fenhua said with a smile.
The bathroom is not very far, on the side of the corridor on the second floor, narrow and dark, the whole building is on the fifth floor, there are two bathrooms, and the other is on the fourth floor, the floor is basically rented outsiders, and it is very inconvenient to take a bath and go to the toilet, which makes Shi Mo's idea of persuading his father more intense and urgent.
At the dinner table, the family ate happily, I don't know if Shi Mo's mother's cooking skills have become better, or Shi Mo They have been eating instant noodles on the train for the past two days, and they are hungry, and the brothers are eating a wolf, and they see Wu Fenhua smiling.
Compared with the two Shi Mo brothers, Shi Mo's grandmother tasted much more elegant, and chatted slowly with Shi Youfu while eating.
"Ah Fu, how do you know that we have reached this point!" Grandma Shi Mo asked curiously.
"After you left, my father called me that night and told me again and again, I dare not forget it." Shi Youfu said while serving vegetables to Shi Mo's grandmother.
"It's still a reliable family, you've been here for a few months, so you're still used to it!" Grandma Shi Mo said chattering.
"Mother, we are all still used to it, I will make a bunk at night, you take the two children to sleep on the bed, and you and I will sleep on the bunk." Wu Fenhua changed the topic and said.
"What about that! You can't sleep on the floor when you're pregnant, I'll take the child to sleep on the floor, you and Ah Fu still sleep on the bed. Grandma Shi Mo objected.
In order to sleep, the three adults debated for a long time, and in the end, Shi Mo and his father and brother obtained the ownership of the sleeping bunk, and Shi Mo's grandmother and Wu Fenhua slept on the bed.
At night, Shi Mo tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time, and kept wondering what way he should think of to make his father give up this glorious profession of picking up garbage and be able to go to the sea to do business?
Until I fell asleep in a daze. Shi Mo didn't think of Shi Mo's good way, and he kept having nightmares at night, all of which were pictures of his father's poverty and destituteness, which scared Shi Mo to wake up many times in the middle of the night.
