Xue Jing pretended to be angry: "I don't want it, you can take it and return it, I'm fine, I don't have to eat cordyceps, and I don't have to watch TV." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info child, you haven't got married or bought a house, you have to save money, and you will do great things in the future. ”
"I have all of them, and I keep all the money for doing big things. Don't worry, your son is rich now. Yan Wenlong said, handing the two boxes to his mother.
At this time, Yan Xiaohu's phone rang, and it was his eldest son Yan Xiaoxin calling. In addition to greeting his parents, the eldest also asked his niece, who is in kindergarten, to say hello to her grandparents.
Yan Xiaoxin also said a few words to Yan Wenlong, he heard that Yan Wenlong did a good job and won the year-end bonus, he was very happy for him, let his younger brother continue to work hard, and at the same time remember to take care of his body.
As soon as the boss's phone hung up, the second Yan Xuegeng also called. Yan Xuegeng also had a joyful New Year's greeting on the phone, and his grandson, who is in elementary school, talked to his grandparents on the phone, saying that he was looking forward to them coming home to make food for him. The words made the two elders happy.
Around eight o'clock, after the busy Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Yan Wenlong's family of three sat on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala. In TV, singing and dancing are leveling, showing the prosperity of the country, a scene of peace and prosperity.
Yan Xiaohu said to Yan Wenlong while drinking tea: "I see that your recent economic situation seems to be good, the company has given you a lot of bonuses, it seems that you are doing a good job." In the future, you have to continue to maintain, work hard, be conscientious, and don't worry too much about those small gains and losses. ”
Yan Wenlong snorted, swallowed melon seeds, looked at his mobile phone, and grabbed the red envelope.
Mother also spoke: "You three brothers, as long as you don't have a family, and no one takes care of you, your father and I are very worried. Especially this time, when I heard that you had a car accident, both of our hearts were going to break, I cried at home every day, and your dad couldn't sleep all night. ”
"Fortunately, you are getting better quickly, and now you are back to health, and our hanging hearts have just fallen."
"You have to talk about a girlfriend as soon as possible, not to ask how prominent your family background is, how beautiful you are. As long as the person is good and good to you, it's okay not to be a hypocritical girl, don't be picky, our family is not a rich family. We are much more relieved to have someone to take care of you. ”
"Of course, if conditions permit, you can find a younger one and have children."
The mother continued: "You are also not young, you must start a family as soon as possible and have a child as soon as possible. Your father and I are still sharp now, and we can help you take care of the baby, but in a few years, we really can't take it. ”
"Okay, Mom, I know, step by step, I'll work hard, soon, soon, don't worry about it." Yan Wenlong was perfunctory, hoping to deal with this topic as soon as possible.
"Your mother is right, you can find me a daughter-in-law as soon as possible and give me a grandson, I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Yan Xiaohu continued: "Also, you kid should pay attention to saving, don't spend a little money indiscriminately. You haven't bought a house yet, now the house price is so expensive, if you want to buy a house, you have to save a little, you can't waste a penny, you know? ”
"Uh-huh, I see." Yan Wenlong hummed, kept nodding, and continued to play with his mobile phone in his hand, glancing at the sketches on TV from time to time.
After chatting with his parents, Yan Wenlong returned to his bedroom. He carefully took out a DSLR camera from it and attached the telephoto lens.
Yan Wenlong likes light and shadow and the art of taking pictures, he didn't have money before, he didn't dare to think about it, but now he finally has money, so he didn't hesitate to buy a mid-range camera PM700 as a New Year's gift for himself.
Yan Wenlong took out his camera and took pictures of the window flowers, New Year paintings, and TV at home. He took out a quick guide book for photography, followed the instructions in the book, and kept adjusting the parameters of white balance, macro, and exposure time, and kept taking pictures of the indoor scene.
After some tossing, the photos he sent out made great progress, and the composition, color and artistic conception began to have a professional taste.
Yan Wenlong was overjoyed, holding a camera, using his parents as models, and took a few portraits of joy.
He came to the window, aimed at the air in the distance, pressed the shutter, and took a picture of a brilliant fireworks, leaving a beautiful photo for Chinese New Year's Eve.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Yan Wenlong woke up, it was already half past nine. After eating a bowl of chicken noodle soup, he called his two brothers, uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts and other people at his father's request to extend New Year's greetings.
After completing these standard actions, Yan Wenlong told his parents that he was going to go out. After that, he pushed out his bike and headed out of the community.
On the back seat of the bicycle, there was a box of things placed by Yan Wenlong, including various dried fruits and preserved melon seeds, two strings of sausages, two packets of shiitake mushrooms, a piece of Jinhua ham and two bottles of liquor, etc., all of which were temporary gifts he prepared last night.
He fastened the box to the back seat, then pedaled his bicycle and headed north of the city.
After riding about 17 kilometers, Yan Wenlong was already covered in sweat. He looked at the streets that were getting narrower and dirtier, at the busy vegetable farmers, and at the women pushing the tricycle with extremely bent waists, and his heart was full of emotion.
At the foot of the hill north of the city, near the storage warehouse behind the radio station, there are more than a dozen basements. Yan Wenlong pushed open the door of one of the basements and stepped into the dark room.
He vaguely saw tables and chairs in the room, as well as a bunk bed, and the tables and chairs were wiped clean.
It may be the reason why the lights are not turned on, plus there are no New Year's decorations to be seen, and the whole room looks very deserted.
Yan Wenlong stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and asked, "Is Yu Ying here?" ”
A middle-aged man with half a hundred hair and a thin face limped over, looked at Yan Wenlong, and asked, "He's at home, what's the matter with you?" What did he do again? ”
Yan Wenlong smiled and shook his head: "You are Uncle Yu, Yu Ying has not committed any crimes, don't worry." I'm here to visit you, my name is Yan Wenlong, and I'm here to pay you New Year's greetings. With that, he put his things on the ground.
Yu Ying heard the voice and walked out of the kitchen, he turned on the light and said in surprise: "Brother Yan, why are you here?" ”
Yu Ying said to the middle-aged man: "Dad, this is the big brother Yan I told you, he is a good person and cares about me very much." You talk to him first, and I'll prepare lunch, and it will be all right soon. ”
Father Yu stretched out his trembling hand and beckoned Yan Wenlong: "Sit down!" Sit down! ”
He looked at Yan Wenlong and said, "Yu Ying told me yesterday, thank you!" You're a good guy! ”
"I can't discipline this kid anymore. I can't hold anything with my hands now, and my feet are lame......"
"I'm really sorry for him, I'm sorry for his dead mother. If you have time in the future, please watch him more and lead him on the right path, so that I will be blind even if I die......"
Yan Wenlong hurriedly comforted: "Uncle Yu, don't be too pessimistic, everything will be fine." I will take care of Yu Ying, this child is very smart and not bad. ”
He approached Yu's father and said, "I plan to arrange for Yuying to do takeaway in a restaurant." I have already contacted a restaurant and asked Yu Ying to help them deliver food every day, charging five yuan for each takeaway, and the restaurant does not want it, so give it to Yu Ying. ”
"The restaurant is doing good business, but it's not willing to hire delivery people. Yu Ying delivers meals to them at lunch and dinner time every day. According to the business of this restaurant, it is estimated that it can deliver 20 takeaways a day, earn 100 yuan, and earn 3,000 yuan a month. ”
"This job is relatively hard, the wind comes and goes, the heat and the cold have to run. But this income can greatly improve the lives of both of you. Moreover, the daytime is not occupied, and he can still study on his own. Yan Wenlong said.
Father Yu kept nodding and said excitedly: "Okay! Good! This is good! This kid is not afraid of hardship, and he will definitely be able to do it. ”
Yan Wenlong nodded, he looked at the old wrinkles on Yu's father's face, felt the weight of this man in his forties, looked at the basement in front of him, and remembered the beating of Yu Ying, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
"Of course, you can't just run on your own two legs, it's not only exhausting, it's not efficient."
Yan Wenlong pointed to the bicycle outside the door and said, "My car is 8 percent new, and the performance is not bad, so I gave it to Yu Ying, I hope it will help him in his work." ”
"I have already greeted the owner of the hotel, and he has agreed to give Yu Ying a chance. The restaurant agreed to include lunch and dinner, which should be more than enough to feed himself as long as he was diligent. Later, we will work together to find ways to increase income. ”
The boss said that he was going to let Yu Ying report tomorrow, and first familiarize himself with the situation of the restaurant, the surrounding roads and residential areas. Do you think this arrangement is okay? Yan Wenlong asked.
Father Yu was overjoyed, kept shaking with trembling hands, and said, "Yes, of course, there is no better arrangement than this." Xiao Yan, you have helped us so much, I really don't know how to thank you. ”
He looked at the portrait on the wall again and said loudly, "you, child, do you see it?" We met a good man, and there was hope for him. ”
"Is it your spirit in the sky that is blessing us two, our hard days are over, and we are going to live a good life!" At this, his voice began to choke, and he couldn't help but sob.
After a while, Yu's father wiped away his tears, took a sip of water, and continued to talk with Yan Wenlong.
"Yu Ying, this kid, is actually very smart, he can memorize Tang poems at the age of 3, and his grades have always been good. He should have had a great future, but unfortunately, he was dragged down by this family and me. I'm sorry for him. ”
"He kept his good books and didn't read, wandered outside, did some one-shot business, and got into a lot of bad habits. I've seen it once before, and now I can't beat it anymore. ”
Yu's father pointed to his heart with his finger: "You don't know, I hurt here." Every time I see him being bullied, my heart feels like he's been stabbed with a knife. ”
"I was worried that he would go to the cell, that he would end up dead in prison. Xiao Yan, the path you arranged is equivalent to giving him a second life, and you saved him, with immeasurable merit! ”
