Chapter Fifty-Eight: People Are Old, and Money Is Gone
The two of them rushed to the hospital in a hurry, and the situation was better than Xun Huan expected.
Dad was lying in the ward and did not enter the ICU, such a result was already very lucky for Xun Huan.
When Xun Huan came in, his father had come out of the operating room, and when he saw Xun Huan, he shed tears, he said: Xun Huan, I'm really sorry for you, not only do I not help you well, but I always make trouble for you, you look at me now, I am old, I have no money, and I am still sick, others worked hard when they were young, and now there is a retirement salary at this age. Hey, Xun Huan, I can't stand you.
Xun Huan sat next to her father, and when she heard her father say this, she shook her head desperately and said: Don't talk about this, you are so old and have the courage to give me life, I am already very grateful, nothing else matters, don't say it again.
Dad wanted to say something, but Xun Huan stopped him.
At this time, the doctor took a list of operations and handed it to Xun Huan, the number on it still made Xun Huan a little shocked, if it wasn't for the construction site as a guarantee, then, if he was sick like this a few times, he really couldn't live.
Although Xun Huan didn't say it, his heart was like a mirror. The family's savings, that is, the money earned at the construction site during that time, and the salary for the past three years, add up to less than 100,000. Now that my father is seventy years old, it is estimated that it will be difficult to go to school as a security guard after this illness, so all the expenses of my father and I will have to spend on this 100,000 yuan in the future.
I remember a man once said: If a person is very poor, he will find it so difficult to pick up a dollar on the ground.
However, life must go on, and you will not stop living because you don't have money in your pocket.
After nearly a month in the hospital, Xun Huan's father was finally able to be discharged.
To Xun Huan's surprise, his father was not paralyzed, and everything moved freely.
The uncle, the second uncle and aunt knew that their father was discharged from the hospital, and they all rushed back from their hometown, and they insisted on taking their father back to live, but Dad didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he asked Xun Huan's sudden opinion.
Xun Huan thought about it for a long time. She thought a little too much, thought about it, and didn't know what to say.
The second uncle saw Xun Huan hesitate, so he explained her and said: Don't worry, your father will not be a problem if he goes back. There is a construction site next to the village, and I have already contacted him with a job as a material keeper, so he can walk around during the day and go back to our house at night.
That's so much thanks to the second uncle! Xun Huan felt that the second uncle's plan was really good. You can exercise your body when you walk around, and you can chat with others outside, and your heart will not be depressed. The most important thing is to eat and get a salary, and the survival of the father and daughter will not be a problem. Xun Huan is at school, trying his best to minimize all his expenses, but the living expenses of ten yuan a day have been reduced to the point that they can no longer be reduced. Every day's breakfast, just drink a little porridge, and don't dare to expect anything else.
On the first day of August, classes at school had just ended.
Escorted by relatives all the way, Xun Huan and his father finally returned to their hometown after nearly a few decades of absence.
Dad walked down the road, muttering incessantly: It's all changed, and I don't recognize it at all. The wide road, the small buildings, and the solar installation on the roof.
In the years since you were not at home, the village has changed dramatically. Some people go out to work, open shops, set up factories, and come back completely changed their appearance, many people not only clean up their homes beautifully, but also buy houses in the city, drive a small car, and run at both ends.
That's a small number of people. The uncle emphasized that because he was afraid that Xun Huan's father would be sad.
Now in the whole village, the worst mixed should be Xun Huan's father. The old house has fallen in the wind and rain of the years, and now it is also a weed rebirth.
My aunt also came over to comfort her, afraid that Xun Huan's father would be sad, so she said: If others get rich and make theirs, we just have to live well.
Dad was embarrassed, who could blame him for being like this
When I was young, I was muddy, earning a piece and eating a piece, and I never thought about the future. After getting by and getting older, I suddenly realized that I didn't learn the skills I should have learned, I didn't accumulate a penny of funds, and I had a network of people who should have gathered
They didn't get together. No culture, no technology, no money, no connections, throw yourself on the street. What can be done
Stay up to a handful of years, except for age, there is nothing else. What can you do to make ends meet at such an age? I applied to sweep the streets, but I had to get up at four o'clock every morning to sweep the streets, and not everyone could bear the hardships.
Go to be a waiter, Xun Huan's father has also seen a job, but it is also a laughing death, people recruit workers are stipulated to be 18 to 35 years old, your beard is poked, your face is full of furrows, the first impression is not good, people don't want it, don't blame people for looking down on people, people do business to make money, not a standard nursing home, their rules are definitely beneficial to themselves.
I went to deliver the courier, walked for two days, walked through the streets and alleys, and my head was dizzy, and at the end of the day, I didn't send out a few couriers, and I fell on it and couldn't get up.
When he reached the age of about fifty, he felt that he could no longer live like that, so he wanted to cheer up, but unfortunately, Shaohua never returned, and there were very few things that could be done that were suitable for him. Others are 50 years old, have a house and a car, and have children and grandchildren. And at the age of fifty, he only has a beard.
After learning from the pain, she went to the construction site for seven or eight years, met Xun Huan and her mother, and later, the two of them cherished each other and came together, but they were still not blessed enough, her mother left their two fathers and sons, and went to another world by herself.
Ay...... Xun Huan's father sighed.
The second uncle took Xun Huan's father to the second floor of his small western-style building. Xun Huan was dumbfounded, the second floor was luxuriously decorated, with six bedrooms, a study, a living room, and a large balcony outside the living room. The one-color pleasing wooden floors, snow-white walls, and suspended ceilings are all so extraordinary.
How can it be decorated so well, I don't dare to come in. Dad muttered.
The second brother was straightforward, he tilted his face and said loudly: What's good, every family is the same, and my family is nothing special.
Hey, it's me, it's nothing.
You have Xun Huan, my aunt said strongly.
Xun Huan was also guilty of following me, he didn't even have a place to look, and he was bullied when he was a child.
Xun Huan held his father's hand and said: You are seventy years old, accept the reality, don't dwell on how the past is and how it is now, it is useless.
Why
I can't change it anymore. It's great that you're able to take care of yourself now. Don't wait until you're 90 years old, and then regret that you didn't take care of your body when you were 70 years old, and you will live in regret for the rest of your life.
Uncle said: It doesn't matter in the past or now, everyone is hungry, sleepy, hungry, sleepy. Let's go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
When I went downstairs, there were a lot of people outside. They all came to hear the news and chatted with Xun Huan's father.
Yijin has returned to his hometown, Lao Xun. Several people suddenly came up and shook hands.
Where is Gao Gao now, are you happy outside, and you don't want to go home.
That's not it, after so many years of being out there, you should be famous, how can you compare with us black-footed farmers?
Brother Lao Xun made a career outside, don't forget us, we all rely on selling coolies to do fine work, so we can get to today's status.
……
Xun Huan thought that if there was a crack in the ground, Dad would definitely want to get into it.
Daddy's watch was indeed weird, and he stood there stiffly. It's not to speak, it's not to speak.
That kind of watch, Xun Huan had never seen it before.
Xun Huan wanted to help his father out of the siege, and he also happened to want to go up to the study, because he had just seen a lot of books to read. So she shouted from afar: "Dad, I want to go up and read a book, do you want to go?"
Reading the book, Dad hesitated and said, looking at Xun Huan inexplicably.
Aha, is that fairy your daughter?
Hey, why is it so tall?
The children who grew up in the city are different, you see, this water spirit is much stronger than the rural baby. Lao Xun, what do you give your daughter to eat, why do you grow so tall. After the man finished speaking, he kept smashing his mouth.
I didn't eat anything either, I ate very ordinary. She is not particularly good, she just likes sweet potato tuotuo and Dongpo, but she doesn't eat them very often.
How did you grow so tall and big?
I'm 15 years old.
Oh my God, fifteen years old is so tall, it's really rare.
That's not just high, my daughter is so good. Xun Huan's father seemed to have suddenly found excitement, and as soon as he opened the chatterbox, God immediately became proud.
Fifteen years old is so good, where are you studying now An old man who was a little old immediately leaned over and asked.
It was a famous school in the province, better than the city, and the students there were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University just like us buying side dishes.
Dad, what are you talking nonsense Xun Huan didn't expect Dad to say this, he was very unhappy. However, with so many fellow villagers here, she can't blame too much.
I'm not wrong!
It's so powerful, I remember when I used to study, the No. 1 middle school in our county couldn't produce a Tsinghua University and Peking University for many years.
A woman said lightly.
is still talking about your No. 1 Middle School, and you are counting on your No. 1 Middle School to live all your life. Even if you are a student in the first middle school, you are also the one at the bottom, and you are definitely not an honor student. A middle-aged man immediately retorted.
Why do you talk like that, women are very angry. Her face was flushed with anger, and her bore puffed out, and she fell together.
Why can't I say this, look at you, all day long, you want to show off to the world that you are a middle school, right, you are a middle school, how old, ugly and poor, you read a middle school, what achievements and contributions, you don't want to embarrass a middle school. The man was more energetic, and his words were even more harsh. As if he wasn't happy if he didn't say that this woman was useless.
I'm old, ugly and poor, how rich, young and handsome are you? You don't pee on yourself, what are you, and you're embarrassed to say me. No matter how old I am, no matter how old I am, no matter how poor I am, no matter how poor you are, no matter how ugly I am, I am not ugly without you. The woman was already furious, and she trembled a little when she said it.
The man is not to be outdone: much stronger than your husband. After saying that, I didn't forget to make a grimace.
A group of people laughed at his words,
Xun Huan watched strangely as they slandered each other and tore each other apart. And the people next to him neither persuaded nor helped, looking like they didn't think it was a big deal.
Xun Huan asked the second uncle, is this mode every time they chat? Why?
The second uncle sighed and said: The two of them don't look at each other, and they are jealous of each other, so they will raise the bar and humiliate each other if they have nothing to do.
But that woman still graduated from No. 1 middle school, Xun Huan still wants to help her dig up some good things.
What about those who graduated from No. 1 Middle School, they didn't become officials and didn't get rich, and they still talked about No. 1 Middle School every day. Who can afford to look down on you if you don't have the ability in this era, and if you have the ability, you will graduate from primary school and people will hold you to the sky. So, after graduating from high school, she really didn't have any influence in this village. Moreover, her children are not angry, and now this society is just a high school graduate, and everyone else has at least a college degree or above. After the second uncle finished speaking, his eyes were full of disdain.
Xun Huan's heart suddenly swelled with a sadness. The woman's feeble struggle and trembling anger suddenly felt her way. If it weren't for Wang Ding, it is estimated that she would have wandered in an unknown small factory in the Pearl River Delta now, struggling on the assembly line one by one on the food and clothing line.
Wang Ding, why doesn't it seem that there has been no news of him for a long time.
Xun Huan subconsciously looked at his watch and checked the previous chat history, only to suddenly realize that the last chat record from today showed that it was two months ago.
Isn't that two months without contact, what is he doing?
When Xun Huan was thinking like this, he heard his father say: The first middle school in the province, it is really very good, as long as you enter that school, 985,211 is squinting, and the students there are among the top in the country, all of them are cow babies, and there is no such thing.
That's that, the provincial city can't be compared with the county, and it can't be compared. Not on a notch. The middle-aged man who had just won the battle was red-faced, but now he immediately looked happy and convinced, and he continued to express his high opinions.
How is your daughter in the class, an old man asked with a pleasant face.
My daughter, that's really everything. is an announcer and a host, and his test scores are in the top ten in his grade, and he has never fallen behind.
Is it so powerful? Isn't an announcer an actor? Oh my God, is the host like those CCTV stars? A few younger students said a little disbelieving.
Yes, it's still the radio station's stand up, and when he hosts the show, he wears that fairy dress, which is more fan than the CCTV program host.
Dad, what are you talking nonsense Xun Huan found that the more Dad said, the more outrageous it became, how could he be so vain? Could it be that he is old and poor and has nothing to support the façade, so he has to take Xun Huan out to save the scene!
