Chapter 10: My Son Calls
This kind of whimsical days have passed for more than half a year, and in the blink of an eye, winter has gone to spring, and the "May Day" festival is coming.
That night, Wang Xueli sat in front of the computer at home and played the landlord game, and the WeChat "Ding Dong" on the mobile phone rang a prompt tone, clicked on, and it was a voice message from his son Wang Shuo: "Dad, don't you always urge me to find a daughter-in-law?" My son found it, Beijing girl, if there is nothing wrong with your old man's May Day, you can come to the capital to give a long look and check it. Wang Xueli quickly closed the game after the game at hand, thought about it, and replied to his son with text: "Good son, I'll take a look." Another "victory" meme was added.
When he went home during the Spring Festival holiday, Wang Xueli had a quarrel with Wang Shuo's father and son because of Wang Shuo's work.
Wang Shuo was admitted to a university in the province to major in business administration, and after graduation, he was unemployed at home for half a year, so he found a job in Beijing on the Internet, and without discussing with his parents, he picked up his backpack and set off. Later, Wang Xueli and his family inquired by phone and learned that Wang Shuo was going to a private medical device distribution company to do sales, with a basic salary plus commission, and an income of four or five thousand yuan a month, and the company provided collective dormitories. Wang Xueli felt that there was nothing wrong with boys going out to break through, but Zhuang Yuemei was always nagging in his ear, saying that her son earned so much money, and he was floating alone in the capital, and he even delayed finding a daughter-in-law, and many of her classmates are now holding their grandchildren.
Unable to bear the annoyance of his wife, Wang Xueli found the fourth brother Xu Jiming and asked Wang Shuo if he could find something to do in his fourth uncle's company. Xu Jiming happily agreed on the spot, saying: "His fourth grandfather is also a manager, and he still has the power to arrange a job for his eldest nephew." ”
Wang Xueli went home and told his wife that Zhuang Yuemei was very happy and immediately called her son, but her son refused, saying that the old industrial city of Qingshan had declined, and there was no future, and he was working well outside, so they didn't have to worry about it. Of course, Zhuang Yuemei was disappointed, and sighed every time she mentioned it.
In a flash, Wang Shuo has been working in the capital for five or six years, and he is also thirty years old. Every time she came back from attending the wedding of her classmates' children, or heard which classmate hugged her grandson, the optimistic and cheerful Zhuang Yuemei had a sad face.
After Zhuang Yuemei left, Wang Xueli felt that he should work hard to fulfill his wife's unfulfilled wish. He inquired around and learned that the management committee of the high-tech zone recruited mixed post staff, and after a few years, after passing the examination, they could be turned into career editors, and if their positions were promoted, the possibility of becoming civil servants was not impossible. It just so happened that Xue Manni, a colleague of the newspaper, had some friendship with the director of the management committee, and in order to accomplish this, Wang Xueli reluctantly cut his love and gave two bottles of Moutai wine that had been treasured for more than 20 years to Xue Manni's husband.
When his son came home during the Spring Festival, Wang Xueli excitedly told his son about this great good thing, but his son said with a disdainful face: "What is a civil servant in Qingshan, a small city, you can't kick down those two pieces of money, and you can see at a glance what you will be like in 20 years." “
Wang Xueli said angrily: "You really have the wings of a chicken, but you have the lofty ideal of fighting the sky like an eagle." You are a third-rate university graduate, what kind of fame can you make in the capital where master's and doctoral students from prestigious universities gather? Although Qingshan City is small, I think it is just right for you! ”
Wang Shuo also said angrily: "Don't keep talking about academic qualifications, aren't you also a graduate of Yidian University?" I didn't get into a famous university like Uncle Zhong! Besides, what happened to Uncle Zhong's famous brand graduating from university? It's not like you, you can't even make a deputy bureau! ”
Wang Xueli became even more angry: "You think I love you, I am fulfilling your mother's unfulfilled wish." Half of what happened to your mother was the result of worrying about you. ”
Speaking of his mother, who died suddenly, Wang Shuo cried sadly: "Why do you say that my mother is worried about me, and what do you do to make her worry?" Drinking and playing mahjong all day long, how much have you managed the house over the years? How much have you managed me? I'm playing the role of a loving father now, I'm sorry, I don't need to! ”
Wang Shuo was angry and returned to Beijing on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
In the middle, Wang Xueli's communication with his son is to occasionally like and add a few small comments on his son's WeChat circle of friends, which can be regarded as taking the initiative to show favor and alleviate the contradiction between father and son.
