Gu Hongyu's parents are both members of the ordinary working class, his father Gu Jianming works in a local cement factory, and his mother works in a ceramic factory not far from the town, which is generally not bad.

But before the reform, the family was envious of others, but later in the reform, a large number of state-owned enterprises rushed to close down, and ordinary workers who were helpless in this big wave became one of the laid-off.

Father Gu Jianming relied on a lot of strength to start looking for odd jobs everywhere, and later state-owned enterprises were annexed by private individuals and then hired him back, the results were not bad, but the mother's ceramic factory was really closed down, and after getting a small amount of compensation, he became a full-time housewife.

In addition to his parents, Gu Hongyu also has a younger brother Gu Hongchen, who is three years younger than Gu Hongyu, and his grades are not bad, and he was admitted to Kyoto University of Political Science and Law last year.

When Gu Hongchen went to college, the family borrowed money from everywhere and took on a lot of debts, and later his mother also went out to find odd jobs everywhere, and the family life was tight.

But fortunately, now that Gu Hongyu is about to graduate, he wants to relieve the financial pressure on his family immediately, when his mother Liu Yuanlan opened the door to Gu Hongyu, his mother, who hadn't seen him for half a year, seemed to be a lot older, so Gu Hongyu had the urge to cry.

Liu Yuanlan looked at Gu Hongyu, who was standing outside the door, and hurriedly took the package on his back and the things he was carrying, while shouting happily: "Old man, come out quickly, you see who is back!" ”

Gu Hongyu grabbed things with his mother, "Mom, I'll take these things, I don't need your help to ...... light."

"Look at what your child said, you haven't seen you for a few months, and you're still out of sight, right?" The mother said and then opened the convenience bag and shouted: "Why do you buy some vegetables when you come back this time, you don't have too much trouble, you have everything at home, can you use it...... Really! ”

Ignoring the nagging in the mother's mouth, every mother will generally use a lot of nagging language to hide the changes in their mood when they see their relatives who have not seen each other for a long time, and the fathers will basically pretend to be calm and hide the fluctuations of his mood like a father.

After entering the door, my father sat on the sofa in the living room, glanced at Gu Hongyu with a newspaper in his hand, and said flatly: "I'm back, sit down and rest!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and said to his mother, who was carrying vegetables and wild fish to the kitchen, "Wife, add a few more meat dishes at night!" ”

"Got it, it's up to you!" Mother's brisk voice came from the kitchen.

Gu Hongyu rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen: "Mom, I'll help you, I'm cooking well now." ”

Mother said with a smile: "Go and talk to your father, don't look at him usually doesn't talk much, but from time to time he mentions your brother, and now he is back and he is happy in his heart." ”

"Okay, it's hard work, the wild fish and vegetables I brought back are good, let's do it later!" It seems that this meal will not be able to be interfered with today.

Walking into the living room, my father had turned on the TV and pretended to stare at the TV, but his eyes glanced at the kitchen from time to time, and saw Gu Hongyu walking in and watching TV seriously.

Gu Hongyu's father is such a person, he usually speaks little, but his love for his two sons in his heart is no less than that of his mother, but he has never shown it lightly.

The same is true of his personality, which is extremely inconspicuous among ordinary workers, but it is his good temper Many workers in the factory are very friendly with their father and have established a good relationship, and Lin Yuantao's father is also one of them.

To sum up, Gu Hongyu remembered his grandmother's words: Eating losses is piled up, which means that only those who can lose themselves are willing to associate with you, but this kind of thinking is no longer in line with today's people.

"Dad, how are you doing at work lately?" Seeing that his father did not take the lead in speaking, Gu Hongyu consciously took the initiative to find something to say.

The father shifted his gaze to Gu Hongyu while watching TV, and said with some feeling: "The factory is still like that, and some new production equipment has been introduced recently, and workers like us are basically becoming more and more useless." ”

Gu Hongyu understands his father's concern, that is, the new construction book has replaced labor, the original cement factory is all manual labor, and now the implementation of mechanization, after the demand for labor is reduced, then these workers will be fired.

My father still has some skills in operating machines, and Gu Hongyu, another worker who purely relies on labor to eat, has also heard that he has been dismissed several batches, but he continues to purchase equipment with increasing production capacity, and eventually those operators who eliminate equipment will still be fired.

"Dad, it's okay, now I'm graduating soon, I earned thousands of internships in the company during this time, and I also sent two thousand to my brother last time, even if you don't do it, our family can survive." Gu Hongyu's father said.

"Well, it's good to graduate, you have to take care of it as a big brother, after all, we are not very rich people, only you have been wronged!" My father spoke with a heavy face.

Gu Hongyu didn't want to continue this dull topic, he now had space, he believed that it should be quick to make money by doing something with this kind of guy who defended the sky, so he changed the topic and said: "This time I can't go home for a few days, I have to rush back to school after the company's internship, and then I can officially go to work to earn money, and at most the family can be relieved in two months!" ”

"Okay, but I heard that it is easier for you to study business and trade to find a job on the coast, doesn't that mean that the place where you will work in the future is far away from us?" My father usually cares about Gu Hongyu's major, and he usually collects some information on TV.

However, after Gu Hongyu had space, he didn't plan to be a company employee honestly with peace of mind, so he could only deceive his father in good faith and said: "It is possible to go to a coastal city, but this matter is not certain, there will be a job fair after returning to school, and it will depend on the situation at that time, but our major is still quite popular, and the salary should be good, you just wait for my good news!" ”

It's been a long time since I've been sitting at home with my father so quietly and talking, looking at my father's gray hair that seems to cover the black hair, Gu Hongyu doesn't feel very sad, this man in front of him looks very ordinary, but it is he who feeds a family of four, and it is his arms that support a piece of blue sky.

"Alright, old man, hurry up and clean up the table, and start eating immediately!" Mother quickly prepared a table of fragrant meals.

Soon, the whole family mobilized, cleaned up the table, took the dishes and chopsticks out immediately, before eating, the father also took out the old wine at home, the mother usually does not let the father drink, Gu Hongyu came home at this time and didn't say anything, it can be regarded as a secret acquiescence!
