As an honest farmer, Xiao Youming is happy.

The villagers are so superstitious that they say that the name he gave him is good. In the first thirty years, he was not famous, but he had not yet caught up with the middle age, and his name seemed to be known to everyone in the entire county. As long as they meet, as long as the other party hears his name, they will exclaim:

"You're that prodigy."

There's nothing wrong with being famous with your own son.

At least in the local concept, there is a saying that only when you plant well can you give birth to good seedlings.

Xiao Chen is his famous species.

In addition to showing shame in the face of other people's praise, Xiao Youming has no other shortcomings. A few acres of land at home are intensively cultivated, and when the farm is not working, he will work as a bricklayer to build houses for other people's houses. The walls he built were not beautiful, but at least they were strong and smooth. Because of his hard work, he lived quite well.

His wife, Xia Yufang, is a fellow villager from Xiajiazhuang, and she was also a flower when she was young.

Seeing that his son is about to graduate, as long as he is assigned a job and eats a public meal, the life of the family will be more and more beautiful, Xiao Youming couldn't help but sing the classic excerpt of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" when he thought of this:

"Drink the celebratory wine today,

Ambition is unrewarded......"

Shaking his head and riding on a shelf more than a meter high, if it weren't for the craftsman next to him who could hear the sound, they would have thought he had hysteria.

"Xiao Youming, this guy is starting to scream again, and he has been ...... two times in the past three days."

"I can't stand the fact that someone gave birth to a good son, and in the future I will have an iron rice bowl, as soon as I take him to the city, he will become an official and a man."

"Have you heard, Township Chief Wu came to the village a few days ago and specially called this guy over for a drink."

Several craftsmen were envious, but fortunately, Xiao Youming was not too arrogant, but no one poured cold water and said cool things.

Xiao Youming stopped singing when they were chatting, not that he wanted to be popular, but because he would sing those lines because of this paragraph. Further down, it belongs to the category of professional singing, Xiao Youming is not very familiar with this aspect, he can only show his professional level with the bricks in his hands and the crops in the field.

The BB machine rang suddenly.

To Xiao Youming, this thing is actually a showy thing.

His lacked social circle was confined to this township.

If you narrow it down a bit, there are only a few villages where relatives are located, and the hometowns of a few craftsmen who know each other well.

These small areas can be walked back and forth in a day by bicycle, and you can also spare a few drinks and food. The BB machine is here, and it is reserved for his son at all.

With the help of the BB machine, father and son were able to communicate more or less outside of letters. Although the number of times is still pitiful, at least it is better than nothing. For example, like now, just as he was about to turn his head to refute the ridicule of several craftsmen behind him, Xiao Youming heard the somewhat harsh but very loud "beep" of the BB machine.

In the era when there were no telecom advertisements flying all over the sky, you could guess whose message it was when the BB machine sounded. Xiao Youming didn't think about it, he only decided that this was news from Xiao Chen.

For the information of this precious son, Xiao Youming has always cherished it.

This is a string of phone numbers, which is the tacit understanding formed by the father and son over the past three years.

"Boss Liu, I'll go and call my son first, he has an urgent matter at school."

Xiao Youming turned over and went down the wall in the surprised eyes of a group of craftsmen, and he didn't care about the alkaline smell of cement, and shouted at the courtyard with his throat.

Reading changes fate, and thousands of years of Chinese culture have made this concept deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The baby's thing at school, that's a big thing. What's more, Xiao Youming's baby is a college student, which is more expensive than those key universities with real money compared to junior colleges, secondary schools, and teachers' colleges. Xiao Youming said that there was an emergency, so it must not be delayed.

A construction team has been together for so long, and Liu Laotian, the foreman who pulled up the pole, knows this truth very well.

Hearing Xiao Mingming's shout, he didn't go out, so he responded while brushing the wall in the house with his throat pulled: "Go quickly, come back and say that I'll get it for you." ”

Xiao Youming didn't come back, so naturally he didn't need to make money for the time being. He hurried to the commissary at the entrance of the village, picked up the phone that was still wiped clean although few people cared about it, and quickly pressed the phone number that he had just remembered in his mind while smiling at the shopkeeper.

After dialing for no more than three seconds, the phone on the other side was picked up, and Xiao Chen's voice instantly reached Xiao Mingming's ears:

"Dad, I'm bothering you with your work."

"Nothing bothering. You're in a hurry to ask me to call you, what's the matter? Is the living expenses enough, not enough for me to ask someone to send you money. ”

Xiao Youming is good at everything, but he is a little clumsy in some aspects. Xiao Chen has been in college for three years, and he has never sent his living expenses by hand. There are probably two reasons, one is that he is not familiar with the process of sending money at all, and it seems that he is not willing to be familiar with it for the sake of face; The other is that he is usually very busy, either busy with farming or busy with part-time work, and he may not have the time to go to the county seat.

"It's about what happened after I graduated from college. Dad, someone from my hometown came to us to sign a job today, but I didn't go. ”

"What?"

Rao is what Xiao Chen said lightly, but Xiao Youming felt like the hammer of a tammer smashed into his chest, and he couldn't even breathe.

The unit recruits people, it is a unit recruitment, an iron rice bowl that is more iron than being a teacher.

If he had such an opportunity, he would wake up with a smile.

"What are you doing here? Do you know what you're missing? Did you see someone around you who went to the sea to do business and make money, and you wanted to follow it when your brain was hot? Baby, our last three generations are poor peasants, where are the hearts and minds of city people. You don't even have capital in business, what do you do to make money. It's not okay to honestly compensate other people's units. ”

Xiao Youming is really anxious.

He was afraid that his son would do something wrong when his brain was hot.

It's just that Xiao Youming never expected that the person who called him at this time was no longer Xiao Chen, who was so young that he still needed someone to take care of him.

"Dad, I'm going to be a soldier. I am more optimistic about the troops than the work of the unit. With my academic qualifications, I am more valued in the army than in the unit, and even if I can't stay in the future, I can still arrange a job when I return to the locality. ”

"You're not worth much when you come."

Xiao Youming was thinking that after going back, he must first pour two cups of cold water to extinguish the fire.

Xiao Chen had been mentally prepared before calling, and Xiao Youming's current attitude was what he really felt normal. If Xiao Youming agreed at this time, he didn't know how to explain many things next.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen began to explain his reasons to Xiao Youming one by one.
