Chapter 23: Private Money
Yu Mingyue, who had made a decision, closed her eyes and listened to the sound of her grandfather talking to the vegetable buyer next to her, and after a long time, she slowly opened her eyes when she tried to calm the churning love in her heart.
"Satsuki?" Looking at his daughter who sat up from his arms, Yu Zhiqing said, "Is it too noisy to sleep?" "There are people who come to buy groceries at any time, and on the Qiaotou Highway, there are still car horns from time to time, which is really too noisy.
"Dad, I fell asleep just now, but I woke up again." Yu Mingyue smiled sweetly, and lied without blushing.
Yu Zhiqing touched the top of his daughter's head, thinking that his daughter had only eaten half a bowl of rice in the morning, he turned his head to look at the steamed bun shop behind him where the fragrance of pasta had been coming.
Thinking that he didn't have a penny in his bag, he looked at his old father who was selling vegetables, but he didn't speak. When he felt sorry for his daughter, he was still a little bitter in his heart.
Since he was sensible, he knew his life experience from the people in the village, and he complained about his biological father who had always been called "Big Daddy" (uncle), and he also complained about his adoptive parents who had been called his father and mother for more than ten years. But after knowing the truth of the matter from the mouth of his pro-"Xiao Ye" (uncle), he never blamed anyone, and his biological father quietly treated him well, and he always remembered that his adoptive parents were really good to him, and he also remembered it.
The thoughts and worries of the adoptive parents have been known to me over the years. Therefore, he has always tried his best to be a filial son in their eyes. Coco is now about to turn 31 years old, but she has never lost a penny in her bag, and she has to ask her wife and daughter if she wants to buy anything, and every time her wife wants to buy a bag of toilet paper, she has to
Yu Zhiqing moved his neck, interrupting the deep helplessness and bitterness in his heart.
Yu Mingyue was quietly held by her father, but she had always paid attention to his movements and face, the bitter expression when he was stunned, and the thoughts in his heart at this time, had been guessed by Yu Mingyue.
Dad definitely knows his own background now. has been living in such an environment for 28 years, and it was okay to say it when I was a child, but after my father was sensible, if he didn't hate or complain about the adults of the two families, and became such a filial and obedient son, the process must be very bitter.
Yu Mingyue didn't know how her father persevered, but she knew that it must be not easy, and she was full of admiration and love for such a father, as well as deep sympathy and grievances.
She knew that she was not qualified to evaluate these past events, and she was powerless to change them, but she had made up her mind many years ago to improve the current situation.
In this family, outsiders look at the father and son as filial piety, and it can be regarded as a happy family. But Yu Mingyue knew that the thick bitterness and scruples in their hearts made them unable and afraid to express their true feelings many times, and as a result, this family lacked the natural warmth of an ordinary family, and it was also a little less affectionate.
"Grandpa, we went home at noon, can we go to the mountains to pick up mushrooms?"
"Picking up mushrooms?" Yu Tianzhou just sent away a grocery buyer, and when he heard his granddaughter's words, he was stunned for a moment.
glanced at the vegetables left in front of him, and said with a smile: "There are still 100 catties of vegetables, and I don't know if they will be sold out at noon, if it is still early to go home, we will pick up the mushrooms." ā
Yu Mingyue said with joy on her face: "It's definitely sold out, I heard last time that after those workers get off work at 12 noon, it's as lively here as in the morning." ā
After speaking, he mentioned yƬ again: "Last time I inquired with my mother, when it was past one o'clock or two o'clock, there was a long-distance bus to Yunnan at the station, and when I bought a ticket for 8 jiao, it would take half an hour to arrive at our door." ā
From the passenger station to the Yunnan side, there are many long-distance buses that can pass through Yu Mingyue's doorstep.
The bus to Kunming, Yunnan Province is to pass at 8 o'clock in the morning and 1 o'clock in the afternoon every day, a total of two trips; Cars sent to two county towns in Yunnan 1 or 200 miles away also have one trip a day, after 10 o'clock in the morning and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Last time, Kong Xiaoyu took Yu Mingyue to take that trip at ten o'clock.
The frequency and time of these departures were also inquired by Yu Mingyue grinding Kong Xiaoyu and ignoring the black faces of the ticket sellers at the station.
It's just that in the morning, the earliest train from the direction of Yunnan is not until eleven or twelve o'clock, so that it can pass by the door of Yu Mingyue's house, and it is impossible to sell vegetables in a passenger car.
Yu Mingyue counted carefully and popularized these train times to her grandfather and father.
"Huh." Yu Tianzhou said with a smile: "Yo, our Xiaoyue's memory is really good, grandpa has written it down, if the vegetables are sold out, we will take the car back from Kunming, and grandpa will personally take you to pick up mushrooms." ā
The granddaughter has such a good memory, and is so smart and filial, she will study hard in the future, and she will definitely be able to make a big difference. Yu Tianzhou was very happy, and he couldn't stop smiling on his face.
Yu Mingyue saw that her grandfather was happy, and said busily: "Well, when the time comes, not only grandpa will go, but also dad, and then we will compete to see who picks up fungi and sells more money in the private house, hehe~~" said for a long time, but it was time to wait.
Picking up fungi and selling private money? Yu Tianzhou and Yu Zhiqing were stunned.
Yu Tianzhou relieved himself, looked at his son with some complexity in his heart, and saw the bitterness on his son's face, and a kind of unclear love flashed, he felt a little helpless and worried.
Yu Mingyue was about to speak when she saw her father, but she was busy looking at her grandfather who was a little stunned and said: "Xiaoyue has private money, grandpa and parents must also have it, and grandma, grandma must also have it." Even if grandma is in charge of our family's money and plans to pay taxes and pay off debts every year, grandma should also have her own pocket money like Xiaoyue. In this way, our family can be happy every day like Satsuki. And"
Yu Mingyue shook her little head and spoke energetically, which made Yu Tianzhou and Yu Zhiqing's hearts churn.
Yu Tianzhou glanced at his son again, and the thick bitter expression on the face of his son, who was already a father, he saw it really clearly. Looking at his granddaughter again, the innocent smile on her face made him feel bitter.
Perhaps, I and my wife are really a little excessive.
Now it is no longer the big collective of the past, and the son is nearly middle-aged, working diligently in the fields every day, adding clothes, and buying them with his wife.
The son has been sensible since he was a child, and when he used to buy things for study, he would reach out and ask for money; When I grow up, in addition to buying pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, etc., I will also reach out and ask my wife for money. Over the years, his son has never hidden a penny, nor has he saved any private money, let alone any pocket money.
But the granddaughter, at a young age, went to pick up waste products, pulled mulch films, and sold them, and saved the private money she said she wanted to use as pocket money.
Yu Tianzhou's heart was complicated and entangled, and he glanced at Yu Zhiqing again.
"Grandpa, did you say that Satsuki was right?"
"What's right?" Yu Tianzhou looked at his granddaughter who was shaking his hand, and was very puzzled.
Alas, it seems that Grandpa was stunned just now and didn't hear what he said.
Yu Mingyue sighed lightly in her heart, but still smiled and said: "Everyone in our family should save their private money, buy some small things they need, and when the family has any expenses and the money is not enough, we will make up our own private money." Grandpa, you say, is that right? ā
Yu Tianzhou's heart was shocked, isn't what his granddaughter said exactly the actual situation of many people in the village. Don't
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't pull out a smile anymore, and only said, "Who did Xiaoyue listen to, why should everyone save private money?" ā
Could it be someone in the village, or someone on the other side of the family, who said something in front of his granddaughter? maybe
Yu Zhiqing also came back to his senses at this time, and when he looked over, Yu Mingyue had already said with a bitter face: "No, because Xiaoyue has her own private money, but her grandparents and parents don't have it, Xiaoyue feels very uncomfortable." ā
In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that a happy family of five, but there are four adults who are not happy, but they are like now, depressed, bitter, and worried, Yu Mingyue is really uncomfortable.
She must work hard to make her family face this problem that has always existed but has been deliberately ignored by them, and then take the first step of mutual trust and honesty.
The three words "will be uncomfortable" have been echoing in the ears of Yu Tianzhou and Yu Zhiqing, and they have all been stunned.
Uncomfortable? In the Yu family, not to mention that the four adults have been really uncomfortable, they are all a little numb and don't want to think about whether they are uncomfortable or not.
Even this Yu Mingyue, even if she regained the family affection that she didn't have in her previous life and felt that she was happy, in fact, she should be the most uncomfortable and painful one, of course, it can be regarded as the happiest one.
It's just that she never felt that way. She has been trying to pursue it, pursuing the perfection that she had fantasized about countless times in her previous life.
Every time she makes progress, she feels infinitely happy.
At this time, seeing that her grandfather and father were stunned, Yu Mingyue was quiet and did not make a sound. It's just that when she lowered her head, the originally bitter little face, in addition to bitterness, was more expectant and uneasy.
It wasn't until two more people came to buy vegetables that the depression and silence that shrouded the vegetable stall were broken.
No one talked about the previous topic again, Yu Tianzhou collected the money for the vegetables, and after enthusiastically sending away the two people who bought vegetables, he looked at Yu Zhiqing and said: "Zhiqing, there is still some time after selling the vegetables, you take Xiaoyue to go shopping, and take her to buy gifts for your father-in-law." ā
After speaking, Yu Tianzhou thought about it, reached out and took out 5 yuan from the canvas bag, and handed it to his son, who was stunned for a moment, and instantly responded with a smile on his face.
