Chapter Forty-Five: A Family Trip That Says Walking
Listen to Lin Xingchen finish talking about the money he made in half a year and how he earned it. Lin Yucai also really felt that perhaps it would be the wisest decision to let Lin Xingchen study in an art school.
Lin Xingchen's current achievements are enough to show that he has a talent for artistic and literary creation. At least in Lin Yucai's opinion, he hadn't heard that there was a student who had just entered the university and could earn so much money in half a year.
Judging achievements by money may be too vulgar. But in today's society, who doesn't judge success or failure by money? Even Lin Yucai, who occasionally attends graduate gatherings, has never heard of anyone who earns money after graduation.
Although Lin Yucai thinks that it is very vulgar to measure art by money. But Lin Yucai knows better that his son can achieve these achievements as soon as he enters the play. Suffice it to say that he chose this path correctly.
Compared with Lin Yucai, who was surprised and calmed down, his mother Xu Ailing said with some worry: "Son, you give more than 100,000 yuan to your uncle to help you invest in stocks." What if I lose money? That's not a small amount, isn't it? ”
Regarding his mother's worries, Lin Xingchen said with a smile: "Mom, even if you don't believe in your son's vision, you should believe in your uncle's level in this regard!" Maybe he didn't tell you that the more than 100,000 yuan I gave him has now increased by less than two times!
Originally, I wanted to wait for the Chinese New Year to surprise you. But since I have said this, I will state my intentions. I plan to send 100,000 yuan to my uncle so that he can continue to help me look at the 150,000 yuan earned from the script.
The other 50,000 yuan will be handed over to my mother for safekeeping. You want to save in the bank, or buy a house, that's up to you. In short, believe in the strength of your son. This is just the beginning of my money, and I will make more money next year.
Dad, Mom, you don't have to save money in the future, but learn to enjoy life. Over the years, in order to cultivate me into a talent and let me grow up healthy, you have suffered. So, now it's the son's turn to honor you.
There is also Dad, my son knows that your life's work is devoted to this family and the students. But my son still hopes that in your spare time, you can spend more time with your mother to walk around.
If you are really old, I am afraid that you will not be able to walk if you want to. While you are still young, you should hurry up and enjoy life. Only when you go out will you realize that the world is far bigger than we imagined. ”
Seeing Lin Xingchen mention this matter again, Lin Yucai was very relieved and said: "Okay, it seems that you have really grown up, so Dad can rest assured." Ailing, you go to ask for leave, haven't you always wanted to go to Lushan? As long as you take a good leave, our family will go to Lushan for a few days. ”
Hearing that Lin Yucai was willing to travel outside, Xu Ailing was surprised and said, "Are you serious? ”
Faced with his wife's surprise, Lin Yucai said with rare majesty: "When did I tell a lie?" As long as you take time off, we are ready to go. However, when you go to Lushan in this season, there should be no scenery to see, right? ”
It was rare for his father to agree to travel, and Lin Xingchen could miss the opportunity. Immediately said: "Dad, it's okay!" As long as we are together as a family, it is the best scenery there. And this season, there are definitely fewer tourists going to Lushan.
So we went, at least we didn't have to look at the heads! If you like it, we'll go there again tomorrow for the summer holidays. Mom, what do you think of this plan? ”
In the past, I was very envious of some colleagues in the hospital who had a good family background, and when they came back from traveling, they had excited expressions. Regarding Lin Xingchen's decision, how could Xu Ailing refuse!
Soon, I called the director of the hospital. Although, it is a bit inappropriate to take a leave of absence at this time. But the key is that an obstetrician like Xu Ailing, who is dedicated to his post and loves his profession, the director of obstetrics cannot fail to approve leave!
After all, in the past, Xu Ailing worked hard and obeyed the overtime duty of the department. At present, it is rare for Xu Ailing to take a leave of absence, if the director does not approve it. It's too impersonal, so the fake was quickly approved.
Listening to his mother on the phone, she said proudly: "Director, my son has just come back and plans to accompany us on a trip for a few days." Therefore, I hope that the director will approve a few days of leave. Well, that kid has finally grown up to be sensible. ”
Words like this made Lin Xingchen feel too. This may be going home, he can't feel the warmth and happiness of family affection outside! Since my mother has taken a leave of absence, she is ready to go.
Considering that it is definitely unrealistic to set off today, Lin Xingchen accompanied his parents and gathered at the computer to search for tourist attractions. Of course, there is also a hotel where the rest is in the past few days, and Lin Xingchen has also completed the reservation online in advance.
In this way, they only need to take a car to Lushan, and they can freely enjoy this threesome tour. Although I just got home, I have to go out again. But in Lin Xingchen's view, letting his parents enjoy his care and filial piety is also his wish for rebirth.
In the evening, Lin Xingchen accompanied his father to the community where the faculty and staff lived. I have also seen a lot of teachers, like Lin Yucai, who have devoted their lives to education.
Seeing Lin Xingchen who was accompanying Lin Yucai, many teachers in the community were very happy and said, "Teacher Lin, is your Xingchen back?" I haven't seen you for a semester, and the stars seem to have grown a lot taller! It seems that the food at Xingchen School should be good! ”
Facing these familiar faces, Lin Xingchen also felt very relaxed. Although he knew that his results were announced half a year ago, the families of these faculty and staff members were more enthusiastic about him. But many people feel that he really filled in the wrong volunteer.
For the pity of these faculty members and their families, Lin Xingchen never wanted to explain more. He believed that by giving him a few more years, he would once again be the pride of his parents and his neighbors.
I accompanied my father around the yard of the community, and when I returned home, I saw my mother who was busy packing her luggage for tomorrow's departure. For his mother, he was going to bring towels and other things, and Lin Xingchen also hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
smiled and said, "Mom, you don't need to bring these things." If you really don't like using the hotel, just bring a toothbrush. Towels and stuff, the hotel I booked, these things are available. You don't need to bring shampoo or anything. ”
Knowing that my mother had never traveled, I felt that after a few days, some daily necessities would definitely be needed. But with so many things, how can you enjoy a relaxing travel itinerary!
As a result, when Lin Xingchen began to prepare for rest, he could still hear his mother discussing with his father what else to bring. This feeling of home made Lin Xingchen sleep extremely sweetly on the first night he went home.
The next day, when Lin Xingchen's family closed the doors and windows and went downstairs with their suitcases. Naturally, it attracted the attention of many people, and looking at his mother's proud expression, Lin Xingchen also knew that his mother intended to do so!
I especially remember that in the past summer vacation, many teachers in the community would also take their children on trips. At that time, these teachers seemed to have this expression in the face of Xu Ailing's inquiry. Now, it is finally Xu Ailing's turn, and she can also enjoy the envied eyes again.
Perhaps in the next few years, travel will be a common thing. But in a small city like Lin'an, there are really not many families who are willing to travel with their families once a year. Especially if you go out to travel during the winter vacation, it will be even less. After all, the end of the year is approaching!
understands that his parents are going out for the first time, so on this trip, Lin Xingchen is more of a tour guide and takes care of things for his parents. Looking at Lin Xingchen after being busy, Lin Yucai and his wife also looked very happy.
As a parent, what is happier than seeing your son grow up and understand filial piety? And they know that this family trip will definitely not be the first time. In the future, there will be more such opportunities.
The original three-day itinerary was extended to five days. Seeing the satisfied expressions on his parents' faces, Lin Xingchen felt that it was very worthwhile. Although the cost of these five days is nearly 20,000 yuan, it is worth it in Lin Xingchen's opinion.
Especially looking at the complete set of photography and photographic equipment that he bought for his father for more than 10,000 yuan, his father couldn't put it down. Lin Xingchen knew that his father didn't like these things before, but he was reluctant to spend so much to buy them.
Maybe in his eyes, saving more money for Lin Xingchen is what he should do as a father. But now that Lin Xingchen can make money, and said that these things are given to him as a New Year's gift, Lin Yucai nodded and asked Lin Xingchen to buy these things.
As for the expenses for the mother, although it is not as much as the money spent on the father. Kelin Xingchen knew very well that his mother enjoyed the time together as a family. As for travel and shopping, Xu Ailing is actually reluctant!
Especially looking at the last two days of the trip, the relationship between my mother and father has increased one step further. As a son of man, Lin Xingchen knows very well that feelings do need to be maintained and managed. Even if you are your parents, you will never abandon them for the rest of your life!
Looking at my father, I shared the photos I took with my mother from time to time, and the expression of satisfaction on my face. Lin Xingchen knows that with this experience, I believe that in the future, without him saying more, his parents will fall in love with this kind of travel itinerary.
As long as his parents can live a happy and healthy life, for Lin Xingchen, he may be happier than his success in his career. If dreams and family are compared to fish and bear's paws, then in this life he hopes to have both!
