Chapter 236: Going Abroad to Work
When the whole family sat down to eat together in the evening, Wang Bai really noticed something unusual, there was obviously a cold aura between his parents, which made everyone silent at the dinner table.
"Mom, this fried prawn is so delicious today." Wang Bai smiled and tried to lighten the atmosphere.
Mom glanced at him, and then said coldly, "That's your dad burned it." ”
"Uh......" Wang Bai decisively lowered his head and picked up the rice, no longer talking.
After eating, Lu Lu helped Wang's mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Wang Bai followed Wang's father to the study, closed the door and asked, "Dad, what are you and your mother unhappy about?" ”
Dad sighed: "Your mother...... There are a number of places in her factory to work abroad, and she actually wants to sign up. ”
"What? Mom is still going to work abroad at this age? ”
"Isn't it!" Dad spread his hands and said, "You don't think it's appropriate, right?" Think about it, next year you and Lu Lu will take the college entrance examination, and when she leaves, I am the only one left at home to take care of you, and I often travel on business, how can I take care of it? ”
"It's not a big problem," Wang Bai shook his head slightly, "Lu Lu and I are not children anymore, we can take care of ourselves." The problem is that my mother is not young, and she is not young, how hard it is to work abroad? ”
"I also told her not to work so hard, and there is no shortage of money at home, but she didn't listen." Dad said helplessly, still a little aggrieved, "She also said that if she can take this ship abroad, the money she earns in a year can be worth twice the current income of the two of us, and asked me to quit my job and take care of the two of you at home." Aren't you saying it's hard for a strong man? ”
"This ......" Wang Bai thought, probably my mother also thinks that my father's work is too hard now, so I would rather suffer a little harder, while there is still residual heat, I will fight for a few years, so that my father can enjoy happiness at home early, right? It seems that it is not a problem with the relationship, but that they both think about each other and can't bear each other's hard work.
"I'll talk to my mom in a moment."
Now the living conditions of the family have improved. He thinks that his parents really don't need to work so hard to earn money, if they take work as a kind of spiritual sustenance, it is still okay, but they still work hard when they are not young, and the physical burden is too heavy, then the gains outweigh the losses.
He went to the kitchen to communicate with his mother, and Wang's mother has a stubborn personality, and she is the type who makes up her mind and it is difficult to turn back. Moreover, she also has a plan in her heart.
"Son, you're worried that I'm working too hard, I understand. The family is now in good condition. The house was also bought, but don't you want to think about it, is there an extra person now? Wang's mother said, "You will have a family in the future, and your sister will also have a family in the future." She's a miserable child, and since I, an aunt, have taken her in, I can't just ignore her. In addition to your future marriage, I also have to save a decent dowry for Lu Lu's child. Otherwise, she will marry out in the future and be looked down upon by her husband's family. How can I be worthy of the aunt who entrusted her to me? ”
Wang Bai didn't expect his mother to think so long-term, and even took Lu Lu's lifelong events into account. Indeed, my mother is the kind of person who either doesn't care about it or is enthusiastic about it to the end. Since you brought Lu Lu home. I must take care of her until I start a family.
Thinking that his sister might marry one day, he felt a little unhappy, and secretly scolded himself: Why are you so worried, I will marry her in the future. Wouldn't the dowry be saved?
However, it is inconvenient to say these words now, so I can only say: "She is my sister, no matter whether she gets married or what she does in the future." I'm not going to look at it. You don't have to worry about her dowry, I still have a lot of money on hand. ”
Lu Lu went into the kitchen to pour water, just when she heard this, her heart trembled, and she said secretly: Aunt and brother are talking about my future family? Could it be that my aunt and uncle are arguing over this? However, my brother actually wants to prepare a dowry for me, does he want to watch me marry off......
A very uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart, and she forced herself to go in and pour water with a calm face.
Wang's mother and Wang Bai heard her coming, and diverted the topic very tacitly, and after she left, the mother said: "You should keep your money for yourself, if you give birth to a son in the future, the money is not enough to buy a house." Lu Lu is my niece, where can I worry about you for me? You don't have to say anything about it, I've already decided. ”
She added: "Actually, it's only been three years since I went out this time. You brothers and sisters, the third year of high school may be a bit harder. Let your dad leave his job to take care of you at home, and by the way, let him rest and recuperate, his current health is really not as good as a year. When you go to college and can live on campus, the pressure at home will be lighter, and then let your dad go out and find a more leisurely job. ”
Hearing her say this, Wang Bai knew that Lu Dao's mother chose to work abroad this time, not on the spur of the moment, but after some careful consideration. She wants her husband to rest and recuperate, and she wants to earn a dowry for her niece with her own skills, and she lives hard, but her goal is clear, and there is really nothing to blame.
No wonder her dad didn't support her and made her so angry.
Wang Bai returned to the study, and when his father saw his expression, he knew that the communication was fruitless, and he immediately shook his head and sighed: "Your mother is like this, once you make up your mind, the three cows can't be pulled back." ”
"Dad, what Mom said also makes sense, you can rest at home for a year," Wang Bai persuaded, "After all, she had the experience of going abroad to work when she was young, and she should adapt quickly." And I also asked, she is mainly responsible for the team leader when she goes out this time, not on the production line, which will be much easier than before. ”
"Then it's up to her." Dad sighed lightly, "It's not so easy to resign, and the factory director will definitely not let me go." ”
My father has been working in the machinery factory for more than ten years, and he has deep feelings, saying that the factory director will not let him go, and it is estimated that he is reluctant to let him go.
"It's not like you're gone, you should give yourself a fake vacation." Wang Bai said, "After a year, you can still go back to the old factory to apply." ”
Dad frowned and thought about it, and then seemed to have an idea: "Let me stay at home all the time, I'm not used to it." Otherwise, I discussed with the factory director and changed the job to part-time. I usually don't go to work, and if the after-sales service of the factory in the field needs technical support, I will go on a business trip to help. ”
It seems that what he is most reluctant to do is this kind of opportunity to tour the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Wang Bai thought about it, my father only went on a business trip once a month on average, and he would come back in four or five days, so that he would not work too hard, and it would not have much impact on their lives, so he said: "Whatever you do, since the matter is decided, hurry up and take a soft face with my mother, it's always so cold, I don't have an appetite for food." ”
Dad smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be nothing to do tomorrow." ”
went upstairs to report her mediation work to Lu Lu, and after listening to it, she said: "It turned out that there was a conflict for this matter, but fortunately it was not something else...... My aunt and uncle have such a good relationship. ”
Both of them are very considerate of each other, and naturally have a good relationship.
"That's," Wang Bai said proudly, "My dad is very single-minded, I think back then, those aunts who went abroad to work with my mother, after coming back, most of them found that their husbands had an affair and divorced one after another." But my dad is clean and clean, and there is no problem at all. ”
"Oh?" Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Lu Lu stabbed him and said, "It is said that if there is a father, there must be a son, and my uncle is so single-minded, why didn't I find this advantage in you?" ”
Wang Bai was speechless for a while, and secretly thought: Did she see that I had an affair with someone? That's what I would say.
Lu Lu didn't know that Wang Bai had broken up with Huang Wen, because he would occasionally be seen keeping in touch with Huang Wen. She thought that Wang Bai was dating Huang Wen and Jin Xiaoli at the same time, stepping on two boats, so she said so.
"I also know that I have paid a little bit of attention," Wang Bai said weakly, "but like is like, even if I really like several, it's better than obviously liking it, but refusing to admit it, right?" ”
Instead of cheating on his spirit, it is better to admit generously that he thinks so. If the woman he likes can accept it, then it's best, if it can't be accepted, don't force it.
"Shameless...... Lu Lu glared at him with a cold face, and then said, "If other girls also tell you that she has several men in her heart, what would you think?" ”
Wang Bai was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Then everyone can get together and disperse, and it is better for her to be willing to say it than to hide it in her heart and not let me know it." ”
If the woman around him really likes someone else, then he will definitely not forcibly keep it, even if he changes his mind, it is not interesting to keep it, let her go.
"But I think that the person who takes a fancy to me must have a very unique vision, and it is difficult to look at other men again." He said again with confidence.
"You're really thick-skinned," Lu Lu stared at his face, as if to see how cheeky he was, "If you say these words to Huang Wen, she will definitely dump you immediately." ”
"Huang Wen? When she came back last time, we had already broken up......" Wang Bai's face inadvertently flashed a trace of loneliness, and then said, "We are just ordinary friends now." ”
Lu Lu secretly thought: So he only has one girlfriend, Kim Hyo-ri, isn't that stepping on two boats?
In fact, he is not just two boats, he is simply stepping on a chain of boats.
"Then you still admit that you are flowery, besides Kim Hyo-ri, who else do you like?" She immediately followed up on what he had just said.
"Uh......" Wang Bai stuck his shell again, pinched his fingers together, and discussed with her, "Can you leave some privacy for my brother?" ”
Lu Lu glanced at him coldly, and then said lightly: "If you don't say it, forget it, I'm not very curious anyway." "The implication is that whoever you love, it has nothing to do with her anyway.
In fact, she was very curious, just deliberately pretending not to care.
Wang Bai saw that she seemed to be dissatisfied with herself, and was afraid that the relationship that had finally become harmonious would become stiff again, so he simply said with a half-truth: "Actually, the one I like, there are many people who like her, it is Qi Jueying who rehearses and dances with me." She had a lot of suitors at school, and I just wasn't exempt from it. (To be continued......)
