057 Once Upon a Time

Later, my father, who had no hope of reporting to me, handed over the "difficult" task of checking the test report to his brother-in-law. I don't know if my brother-in-law has the same ambivalence as I do, but my brother-in-law is definitely much more efficient than me. On the morning of the father's first proposal, the brother-in-law checked it.

In his father's somewhat anxious and worried eyes, the brother-in-law said the results of the report he had seen: "Dad, don't worry, the results of the report show that there is no spread, everything is normal." However, the doctor also said that this is only the result of the current technology, and it does not mean that there is no spread. ”

At that time, I was also present, although I secretly sighed in my heart that my brother-in-law said it too bluntly, but no matter what, it was a happy result.

I'm not alone. I thought my father would be worried when he heard the second half of his brother-in-law's overly straightforward sentence, but in fact, my father's happiness was completely beyond my expectations. "Hehe, do you think I'm so unreasonable? Can I still ask them to use technology from a hundred years to check with me? As long as it hasn't been found out now! ”

Hearing this, I knew that my father was already convinced in his heart that he had not spread and relapsed. At this moment, my nervous mood was truly and completely relaxed. Suddenly, a deep sleepiness rushed to the brain. So, after informing my mother and brother-in-law about some matters to be aware of, I rushed back to rest.

On the day my father had surgery, my cousin, who was also my father's nephew, came to visit. Later, relatives and friends who heard the news came to visit the patient. As I mentioned before, since I saw that the visitors in other hospital beds came and had no place to sit, I specially asked my wife to buy a few small plastic square stools. This made it easier for future visitors as they no longer had to stand on the sidelines.

Among the many visitors, the most impressive to my father was probably his brother-in-law and nephew. Why did their arrival bring the greatest mood swings to the father? I'm afraid that's a long story.

His father has five brothers and sisters, and his father is the second. The eldest sister got married very early. For a long time, my father became the eldest in the family. In fact, the father also bravely took on the burden of the eldest son in the family.

My grandmother passed away very young. Not to mention me, even my mother never met my grandmother. I don't have any emotional understanding of my grandmother, all I see is the cold image of my grandmother. My grandfather didn't have a regular occupation and only made a living by killing pigs. In the very poor seventies, how many pigs were good to kill. Therefore, our family was very poor at that time. The two bungalows, which are so poor that everyone is crowded, leak wind in winter and rain in summer. If we rely on grandpa alone, then our family can only continue to be hungry and cold.

The turning point in our family lies in my father. After graduating from high school, my father began an arduous career in the arts. Able to endure hardships and have a high level of understanding, my father quickly stood out among his peers. My father mainly studied water and electricity, and was able to budget, and he also knew a little about other construction jobs. In the 70s, when there was an extreme shortage of college students, my father was already a top technical and managerial talent like one in a million. Eventually, with his ability to take charge of himself, his father became the captain of the construction brigade.

In fact, even during the first period, the development of the city is inseparable from the construction industry. What's more, in the late seventies and early eighties, the vigorous development of the city driven by the tide of reform and opening up made the entire construction industry more and more prosperous. As the father of the captain of the construction brigade, the most proud of him should be at that time.

The so-called "one person attains the Tao of the chicken and the dog ascends to heaven", after the father is developed, a group of relatives and friends have also benefited a lot. For example, my cousin, who had been waiting outside the operating room on the day of my father's surgery, was brought out by my father. My three uncles, my father's cousins, my family's children, my father's cousins...... Many of them started out in the construction industry because of their fathers.

Perhaps, many people do not have a perceptual understanding of what it means to work in the construction industry. I'll give you a simple example. In the early 80s, the salary of an average construction worker was between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan a year. At that time, a teacher's monthly salary was only a dozen yuan. That's about 10 times the difference! I remember my primary school teacher complaining more than once about why I didn't choose to go out to work (enter the construction industry) at that time.

In the 80s, a 10,000-yuan household could be regarded as a rich person. At that time, a construction worker would have worked hard for six or seven years, and such a goal would have been completely achievable. Therefore, entering the construction industry is equivalent to entering the ranks of the rich. The construction industry was the most desirable industry for the rural people there at that time. At that time, my father became a leader for relatives, friends, and neighbors to enter this beautiful industry. Therefore, at that time, my father's local prestige was almost unparalleled.

Since then, our family's situation has also improved, and two dilapidated bungalows have been demolished into three blue brick houses. At present, it seems that there are so many people in three rooms, and it is obviously still very crowded. However, as far as we Murakami were concerned, it was already quite magnificent. Because, the average family is more crowded than our family!

My uncle was the youngest of all siblings. Later, my father's two younger sisters also got married. My uncle, who was almost twenty years younger than my father, was actually paid for by my father. According to her mother, she bought and changed her uncle's clothes at that time. The so-called eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. It can be said that when my grandfather was struggling to support the whole family, my parents gave my uncle the most selfless care.

At that time, my father was developed, but the money earned by my father did not go into his own pocket, but was contributed to the whole family (extended family). The marriage of two younger sisters, the construction of four blue brick houses for his younger brother, the 99th birthday of his grandmother, and the marriage of his younger brother...... My father did it. The father not only spent money, but also countless energy. If it weren't for the strong family affection, then my father would never have worked so hard.

For a long time, my father stayed in Beijing. It can be said that my father has also made a certain contribution to Beijing's prosperity today. My father had a strong family concept. When I was in Beijing, I always found opportunities to bring my family to visit. Of course, I've been there too. However, when I was still young, I only remember going to Beijing twice, and from the photos I once took, I still vaguely remember that I went to the Forbidden City and climbed the Great Wall. For the rest, it's almost unimpressive.
