30, Dad came to pick me up

After more than 5 hours of travel, the flute tomorrow slowly drove into Guangzhou South Railway Station.

Teacher Zhang's family and Qingfeng together, after getting off the train, out of the platform, with the flow of people, towards the exit of the station, the ticket inspector checked everyone's ticket, and the four people went out of the ticket gate with their luggage low.

The 1.8-meter-high breeze is like a camel in a flock, taller than anyone else. As soon as he got out of the ticket gate, a person suddenly ran to him, and when he saw the deposit, it was his father Li Chunsheng. The breeze threw himself into his father's arms, the two hugged tightly, and Li Chunsheng's eyes shed tears of excitement. In order not to block the flow of people, Li Xiangqian hurriedly pulled the couple to an open place in the square, and at this time, Qingfeng also let go of his father and introduced him to Teacher Zhang's family.

Li Xiangqian shook hands with Li Chunsheng first, and saw that the man in front of him, his hair was gray, and he was dressed in a straight suit, which did not hide his weathered face, and the sparse white hair on his temples showed how worried and laborious he was. Although they are about the same age as themselves, no matter who looks like them, there is a clear difference between the two people. Li Chunsheng's face is full of vicissitudes, but Li Xiangxiang is proud, although Li Chunsheng is still slightly taller than Li Xiangqian, but his thin body, reasonable forward, slightly fat body compared to the body, does feel a little thin.

After a period of greetings, Li Chunsheng Zhang Luo wanted to send Li Xiangxiang and his wife to the hotel, Mr. Zhang said to take a taxi, Li Chunsheng, a simple farmer, said that he didn't agree to anything, so Li Xiangxiang's family could only follow Li Chunsheng, walked out of the square, through the underpass, and came to the parking lot. Li Chunsheng took them to a van, opened the door, let the whole family get into the car, and then drove towards the hotel.

This is a typical minibus, the front rows of seats are still very intact, the back rows of seats have been removed, neatly stacked with cardboard boxes, cartons with fresh strawberries written on them, although the cartons are stacked neatly, but the car still seems a little depressed, because the back of the cardboard boxes, many of the windows have been blocked, the car is very dark. The driver was a young man from other places, according to the instructions of his father Li Chunsheng, he sent Mr. Zhang's family directly to the hotel, after Qingfeng said goodbye to them, the car drove away from the city, crossed the Zhongjiang Bridge, and came to Fangcao District, next to a village, the car drove into a compound, and my mother was already waiting there.

As soon as Qingfeng got out of the car, his mother had already pulled him in her arms, patting him on the back while crying, "Son." My son has grown so big, I want my mother to die, son, my mother thinks about you every day, I didn't expect you to grow so tall, my mother is sorry for you, my good son. ”

Qingfeng bent down slightly, hugged her mother with strong arms, her mother's hot and wet tears stained her face, let her mother release herself for a while, Qingfeng called softly, "Mom, I miss you too, we have been together for more than 10 years, we haven't seen each other, I dream of you every day, haven't I come to see you now?" I'll come back more often in the future, we won't see each other for more than 10 years, we'll see each other more often in the future. ”

Mom finally let go of herself, wiped her tears with one hand, pulled the girl behind her with the other, and said to Qingfeng, "This is your sister, called Xiao Juan'er, don't you have any impression?" At that time, when we went home, he was still in my arms, and now I am 13 years old, and we are all in the first year of junior high school, so I can study well. This is like you, I heard that you took the first place in the province, your father and I are not to mention how happy, the uncles and aunts around us have praised us for having a good child, but we know that this is all your own efforts, we are both sorry for you from the bottom of our hearts, your sister, you have suffered too much, and your parents are sorry for you in this life. ”

Dad stepped forward and said, "Dai Xiaofeng, the child just came, you still have no end." What a happy thing, our son can come to Guangzhou to see us, we should be happy, why are we crying and wiping tears? Say something happy, Xiao Juan'er hurriedly called your brother, like your brother, give us another provincial first, and at that time your parents will not do anything, just wait to enjoy Qingfu, hahahaha. Dad let out a hearty laugh from his heart, and Mom giggled, driven by Dad's laughter.

At this time, my sister Xiaojuan'er walked to my side and called me softly, "Brother, I am my sister, my parents tell me every day, it is because of me, you have suffered a lot, and we have taken the first place in the province, I am proud of you every day, I look forward to you every day, why do you grow so tall?" ”

Qingfeng looked at his poor sister, who was really a lively and lovely little elf, reached out and hugged her in his arms, and really said to her, "My good sister, don't follow your parents to say such things in the future, I am your brother, you are my sister, we have a personal life path, no one will work together in the future, so that parents can enjoy some happiness, if you do your study well, that is the happiest thing for our whole family, my brother is a manly man, What's the point of suffering a little? If it weren't for the hardship of our family, your brother might not be as good as he is studying now, my good sister, you look the same as I thought, you have a good and beautiful temperament, we will all be proud of you. ”

After the most exciting meeting, Qingfeng followed his parents and sister, and came to a bungalow in the yard, this bungalow is very clean, there are two rooms, the big room is a bedroom and a living room, a simple double bed occupies most of the room, a square table for eating, plus a refrigerator, there is a large wardrobe next to the refrigerator, the side of the big wardrobe is a chest of drawers, there is a black and white 14-inch TV on the dance cabinet, bright windows, hanging white curtains, bright glass, The red window grilles set off the atmosphere of the New Year.

A family of four sat around a table, and on the tea plate on the table were peanuts, melon seeds and jujubes. Li Chunsheng grabbed a handful and put it in front of his son.

Qingfeng, seeing everything in front of him, knew that his parents were doing well, and his heart was relieved, "Dad, what kind of place is this?" It seems to be a suburb. ”

Li Chunsheng, "Yes, this is the Fangcao District of Guangzhou City, and it is also the flower town of Guangzhou, around here, except for our family, the rest are planted with flowers, I will take you around when I have time, there are all the flowers here, many flower fields are opened by foreigners, and there are Taiwanese flowers, but it is beautiful, I don't know a lot of flowers, and there are many imported flowers, and we have a lot of flowers here to export, to Hong Kong." ”

Qingfeng, "Mom and Dad, what do you do when you work in Guangzhou?" ”

Dai Xiaofeng, "After your father and I came to Guangzhou, in a furniture factory, worked for two years, your father studied carpentry, I studied painter, because the painter is particularly polluted, after two years, I got asthma, and it was easy for the boss to give some money, all spent on seeing a doctor, your father was afraid that my health would be bad, so he went out of the factory, my illness was also cured at that time, while I was young and wanted to earn more money, we both worked as nurses in the hospital, and when I was a nurse, the money was not much, so I worked on the night shift, Just in order to earn a few more cents, your father asked someone to find a job, and went to work during the day, and after a few months, I was pregnant with your sister, I was afraid that your father's health was not good, so I forced him not to be a nurse, but the money earned during the day was really pitiful, and the two of us had no skills, so we could only rely on selling coolies, at this time, a fellow introduced a job, and your father followed him to Shenzhen, in Longgang, a suburb of Shenzhen, to work for a boss from Beijing, to grow strawberries for him, This kind has been planted for more than ten years, your father followed others in the first two years, many people are hard because of this work, and there is not much money, only your father persevered, so this company looks for your father every year, after three or five years, they will not come, the land is planted, your father will take care of the factory here, I also took your sister with me, he took the workers to work, I cook for them. 10 years ago, this boss Guangzhou found the current place, our family returned to Guangzhou, your father still helped him manage the factory, specifically for him to grow strawberries, strawberries down after the sales, in addition to the boss sales, all your father sales, New Year's Day and Spring Festival, is the peak season for our sales, but also rely on these two seasons to make more money, so more than 10 years we have not been home, especially the Spring Festival has not been home, just because here can not leave, if one day the strawberries can not be sold, That is the loss of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, the more than 100 acres of land, even the rent in the total cost of hiring people will be more than 1 million, if you don't get back millions on this land, the boss will lose money, we are farmers, people trust us so much, we must be responsible for others, so we have been helping this boss to do strawberry business for more than ten years, and our family's fixed income is also 200,000 yuan every year, but plus renting a house, plus your sister goes to school, plus living expenses, it is almost a year. At that time, we wanted to bring you to Guangzhou and send your sister home just to let you get the best education, but you didn't agree for your sister, we really had no choice. ”

Li Chunsheng, "Talking about things, why did you turn around and go back again?" Child, we are getting better and better day by day, year by year, you see, your parents are from the countryside, out of more than 1,000 miles, here are still doing farm work? We have no culture, we can't make a lot of money, we can only honestly earn money by working, now the consumption in this city is too high, everything needs to spend money, we can earn this money for a year, it is really a big burden to feed a child, fortunately, your sister is very sensible, her academic performance is particularly good, both of you make us feel at ease, especially you, accompany your grandparents at home, and you also took the first place in the province, you know how much glory our family has, you, your mother and me, Now we have the strength to do everything, because we have two good children, we have a particularly good son, our boss, and our co-workers, they are all envious of us, I said, no matter how much money you have, it is not as good as a good child, with a good child, there is no money, even if the money is less, the heart is also happy. ”

In the process of Mom and Dad's introduction, Qingfeng knew that Mom and Dad were still doing farm work, no matter what kind of farm work, it would take time and physical strength, because our current agriculture is still in the initial stage, and it is still a labor-intensive industry, some of which are still very primitive, especially when Mom and Dad pick strawberries, plant strawberries, and sell strawberries, all of which rely on artificial accumulation, strawberry planting requires manual management, strawberries are produced, and they need to be picked manually, and picking strawberries is like picking peppercorns, picking peppers, and picking all crops. It depends on people to pick them one by one, and then they need people to grade and pack, each process is composed of people, agricultural production has a characteristic if it is a harvest season, that is, how many people are not enough, you can imagine how much pain Mom and Dad have suffered, how many sins they have suffered, no matter how much money he gave himself, for the sake of two children, Mom and Dad worked in the field, sweating vigorously, tired and bent over, this hard breeze is known.

Thinking that after my parents left their hometown for more than 1,000 miles, they still did not leave the farmland, did not mention agricultural work, or relied on their own physical strength, their own ability to endure hardships, and earn a hard-earned money, my heart was sour, and I made up my mind that I must study hard, earn money earlier, reduce the burden of my parents, and make a little contribution to this family, so that I can liberate my parents from this heavy manual labor in the future, and then provide for my sister to go to school, I am satisfied
