Chapter 26: Contradictions

Zhou Tianle sat on the train, looking at the snow flying outside the window, when he first set off from Wuhan, it was only freezing rain, and after entering the border of Hunan, it turned from rain to snow, and now it is snowing heavily when he arrives in Chenzhou.

Zhou Tianle took out his mobile phone to turn on the weather forecast, there was heavy snow in Chenzhou today, and he opened the time period, and the heavy snow lasted for about three hours. For the farmers, this is "a good year of snow and prosperity, and the coming year will be a bumper harvest."

After getting off the train, then changing to the bus, and finally walking for 10 minutes to get home. When he got out of the car, Zhou Tianle called his mother, saying that he was coming back and asked his mother to cook a few more good dishes so that he could have two more drinks with his father. Although the father didn't talk much, it didn't affect the relationship between the father and son.

After arriving home, Zhou Tianle rushed directly into the kitchen, and his mother was cooking a hot meal. Zhou Tianle shouted happily: "Mom, I'm back!"

The mother smiled happily and said, "My son is back."

Zhou Tianle hugged his mother and said mischievously: "Take a beat."

The mother smiled and leaned her face over, and Zhou Tianle kissed her mother on the face.

It feels so good to be home, warm and happy. No matter how much wind and rain you experience outside, home is always a safe haven, an umbrella, and a place for people to accumulate strength and fight again.

"Father isn't at home?" Zhou Tianle asked his mother suspiciously: "Where can Daddy go with such a big snow?"

The mother came out of the kitchen and said, "Your father went to the construction site, and he will probably come back after such a heavy snow."

Zhou Tianle looked at the food his mother cooked and said, "I'll have a good drink with my dad later."

The mother wiped her hand with a rag and said, "It's to drink two cups, it's not easy for your father."

Zhou Tianle knew that it was not easy to be a parent, so he put down his luggage and sent a message to Liu Yuxin: I arrived home safely, I miss you.

Within a few seconds, Liu Yuxin replied: Well, it's good to get home safely, and it's okay to help your aunt do housework.

Zhou Tianle smiled slightly, and a sentence popped up in his mind: The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, women's war!

As soon as my father returned to the house, he said, "Ouch": "It's a lot of snow, put more spicy seeds in the lunch dishes."

The mother responded to the father in the kitchen and said, "My son is back."

The father came into the hall, dressed in a green coat, covered in snow, and his black beard turned into a white beard. Zhou Tianle was distressed when he saw his father's appearance, and thought that he must be kind to his parents in the future.

The father hadn't seen his son for half a year, and he was also full of joy when he saw Zhou Tianle, and Zhou Tianle shouted: "Dad." Then he asked, "Why is the construction site still working with such a heavy snow?"

He thought that the workers at the construction site near the school were all gone, and they all went back to prepare for the Chinese New Year. Why is my father's construction site still working, and is there any human rights left?

The father took off his military coat and said: "This construction site has been basically completed, the boss wants to hand over the house after the New Year, and rush to transfer the funds to take over the new project, so he urged us to finish everything before the year, and there is nothing, most of them are chores in the building." How are you doing at school? ”

Zhou Tianle subconsciously said: "It's good."

The father made a face and said, "What a ghost, I've been messing around with Lao Tzu's money for half a year."

Zhou Tianle laughed twice, thinking that this is really a son like a father! My father knew everything about his studies. When he was still in high school, Zhou Tianle chose to drop out because he couldn't stand the school's education model, and his father forced him to finish high school. even said angrily at the end: "Even if you mix, you can mix up high school."

At that time, Zhou Tianle didn't understand very much, why in the eyes of his parents, only reading could he live, was his thinking too narrow? Or is it too limiting for life? I think that as long as I don't study, I can only farm, move bricks, and work part-time.

If you think about it carefully, what your parents said at that time was also in line with the current social situation. How important the diploma is, as for how important it is, Zhou Tianle can't realize it. The purpose of students going to school seems to be that they don't care about what they learn in school, but as long as they can successfully get their diplomas, they seem to feel that they can soar and be different when they hold this piece of paper.

Out of the school, I know that there are countless owners of this piece of paper, and students don't know how cruel the society is, and after stepping into the society, they will always feel that the diploma they have worked hard to get is being ruthlessly trampled on, and this is a society where money tramples on knowledge. Lying in bed at night, I still keep asking myself, what is the purpose of reading books for more than ten years? Is it to make your life richer and richer, to eat and drink without worry, or to inherit Chinese culture and solve doubts?

During the meal, Zhou Tianle accompanied his father to drink a few glasses of liquor, he respected his father, the family was supported by his father's income on the construction site, and his mother would occasionally go to the construction site to earn money while farming at home. Hard work can create wealth, and the family background has come from the worst in the village, step by step, and now the family background in the village is also considered to be the first.

Zhou Tianle still remembers what this family was like when it was the poorest, that is, they couldn't even afford to raise pigs, and during the Chinese New Year, other people's families killed pigs, and they stood on the pig killing farm and watched blankly.

On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Tianle ate pork, and at that time he was still curious about where this pork came from, and there were no pigs at home. When I was a little older, my mother told me that my father had borrowed pork from someone else's house, and that she would have to add a pork leg when she needed it. This incident was deeply imprinted in Zhou Tianle's mind, and at that time he told himself that he would earn more money and be more good to his parents when he grew up. He also knows that he is good at everything, but he doesn't like to read, and he thinks he is a hardworking, kind, and filial person.

During the meal, Zhou Tianle told this incident, his father didn't talk much and just buried his head to eat, not mentioning that he borrowed pork, and his mother wiped her tears on the side, it was really bitter at that time! Everyone wants to earn more money and make their families feel better.

Zhou Tianle secretly decided that after the start of school, he would find a job near the school to earn money, and he was already in his twenties and even had to ask his parents for money, and people in their twenties couldn't support themselves. How can the current Chinese mature later and later? You can't waste time and youth, you have to earn more money and be more filial to your parents.

By the way, there is also Liu Yuxin, you shouldn't spend your mind on girls now, you have to spend money to fall in love, where does the money come from, find an excuse to fool out of your parents, or deduct your living expenses, watch movies, eat, buy some clothes for your girlfriend, and make some souvenirs, shouldn't this be, but where does the money come from. should break up with Liu Yuxin, earn money wholeheartedly, and return to Hunan after graduation, how can she go back to Hunan with herself? Wouldn't it be too cruel for her to let her leave her parents, and besides, she has no house, no car, no savings, and how hard it will be for her to marry me. Such a good girl should not be ruined in my hands. While this relationship has not reached the point of heartbreaking, break up in time, and sooner or later it will be broken up anyway. She should be heartbroken, right? But late heartache is not as good as early heartache......

Zhou Tianle was thinking so, but when he saw the news sent by Liu Yuxin, he suddenly forgot what he was thinking just now.

Why are people so contradictory!

Liu Yuxin sent a message: Pedal, the snow in Chenzhou is so heavy, I don't know how long it will last, don't freeze the dealer at home.

Seeing this message, Zhou Tianle thought to himself: Home? Does she already consider herself a member of my family?

Zhou Tianle replied: There is no way, let it be fate. Now we can't starve to death, even if the dealers freeze to death, there is a state to help us.

Liu Yuxin replied: The dealer that my uncle and aunt worked so hard to plant is gone, and my heart must be very uncomfortable.

Zhou Tianle thought to himself: Uncomfortable? Is she still thinking about whether others are uncomfortable? Is it pretending to care about others?

Zhou Tianle replied: Well, you should pay more attention to safety in Wuhan. Don't bring money with you if you have nothing to do, it's the New Year, petty thieves won't be idle, and they also have to make some money for the New Year.

Liu Yuxin replied: I know, the atmosphere is much better now, no one steals money anymore, thieves used to be rampant at the Hankou train station, my father's wallet was stolen, and my father couldn't sleep all night when he was angry.

Zhou Tianle thought to himself: This silly girl is really simple and cute, as if she has never been tainted by negative energy.

Zhou Tianle replied: I don't think my father-in-law is like a person who can be stolen, but like a person who can steal from others. Inexplicably, blurted out the words "old man", men are really cheap, there are always all kinds of tricks to pull into the relationship with girls, this is the innate talent of men.

Liu Yuxin replied: Hee hee...... Why do you say that about my dad, my dad looks like a thief, but he is actually very honest. It's just that if you are deceived a lot, you will have a few more eyes.
