Chapter 122: Returning to My Hometown

When the phone rang, I confirmed that the fat pig in the big box was really Lao Wang. I hurriedly hid in the bathroom, lowered my voice and whispered to Lao Wang. At this time, my goal had been achieved, which not only confirmed the identity of Lao Wang, but also indicated to him my current position through my mobile phone number in Tibet.

After staying in Guangzhou for a few days, seeing that the month of the appointment between me and Lao Wang was expiring, I decided to return to Lao Wang in Qingyang Town from Guangzhou.

When I sneaked home at night, my parents wept with joy when they saw me. My mother took my hand, touched my face and said, "How did my little hun become like this?" In the past, Xiaoxun's face was white and chubby, but now it is black and autumnal, and some places are still molting, what is going on? ”

When I saw my parents' graying hair, my eyes were already moist. I held back my tears and squeezed out a smile and replied, "Mom, I'm out running business for others now, and I just went to Tibet this month." Hey, although the scenery of that place is beautiful and magnificent, because of the plateau climate, this face is tanned. Mom, is there anything good to eat? ”

The mother wiped away her tears and said, "Xiaoxun has really grown up, like a man." You must be hungry, so Mom will make you something to eat. ”

I grabbed my mother's hand and smiled deliberately, "Mom, you sit here." I remembered that when I was a child, I often stole the vegetables in the cupboard, and I really want to go back to that time, you don't give me Zhang Luo today, I will go and see for myself, and reminisce about my previous life! ”

The mother's face was embarrassed and she couldn't stop wiping away tears. The father said in a muffled voice: "You let Xiaoxun go by himself, it's really back to the past!" ”

My father's words sounded strange to me, but they seemed to mean a lot. Glancing at my father, I walked briskly into the water kitchen and opened the cupboard. I couldn't believe what I saw, but there was only half a plate of dried radish and a small bowl of pickle soup in the vegetable cupboard! Is this what parents eat? I remember that in the past, we had to have at least four or five dishes in our vegetable closet!

I suddenly understood the meaning of my father's words, 'It's really back to the old days', I remember when I was a child, when everyone in the village was very poor, and dried radish and pickle soup was indeed a daily recipe for many people. Alas, it must have been me who reported the counterfeit drug case, although my parents were exempted from criminal responsibility, but they also received severe civil penalties, and the family lost all their money, even the last private money of 50,000 yuan was secretly stuffed to me.

I filled a small half bowl of cold rice, poured the pickle soup on top, and swallowed it with tears in my eyes. After stabilizing my mood, I wiped the tears from my eyes and went to the hall. My mother said to me with a heartache on her face, "Xiaoxun, haven't you eaten yet?" Mom will scramble two more eggs for you, you wait a minute, it'll be fine in a while! ”

I hugged my mother all at once, tears streaming down her shoulders. It's just that I forcibly endured the sourness in my heart, and tried my best to keep my tone smooth: "Mom, don't make a fuss!" I still have business to do, and this time I'm passing through my hometown from Tibet, and I'm taking the time to visit you and my father. I'm going to leave now, by the way, I'm doing a good job now, and I'll leave this money to you. You two are older, pay attention to your body and don't be too frugal. Mom, you promise me that you must treat yourself and your father well in the future, and you must not be reluctant to eat good things! ”

My mother nodded tearfully, and I opened my travel bag and took out the money that Wang's friend had lent me. Although I only had 90,000 yuan in my actual hand, and I bought some belongings, and after deducting the expenses along the way, I only had less than 70,000 yuan left, but I still took out almost all the money and stuffed it into my mother's hands, and only took a few hundred yuan of pocket money for myself.

When my mother saw so much money at once, she seemed to be frightened, and she didn't dare to take it, and stuffed it back into my hand. She asked scaredly, "Xiaoxun, what are you doing?" I haven't seen you for so many days, and you've made so much money? Xiaoxun, don't do bad things outside! ”

Mother's words pierced my heart deeply, I know very well that Lao Wang is using me, he asked a friend to lend me this money, in fact, he just wants me to owe him favors, and I will be at his mercy in the future, but in the face of my increasingly old and haggard parents, how can I bear to say these things that make them frightened? What's more, my parents have lived such a hard life because of me, even if there is an abyss and fire in front of me, I will do whatever it takes, I am determined to leave this money to my parents, and I would rather face an unpredictable future by myself.

I forced out a smile, patted my mother's back and said, "Mom, don't worry, this is all your son's labor income." Mom, it's not early, I have to leave quickly, you must accept this money, otherwise Xiao Xun Zhilu said that your life is so hard, and you won't work outside with peace of mind. ”

The mother was still hesitating, and the father took a puff of cigarette on the side and said, "You just accept this money, I believe that our Xiaoxun will be measured!" ”

I cast a grateful look at my father, genuinely thanking him for trusting me so much, and at the same time feeling a strong sense of guilt for lying. My mother finally accepted the money tremblingly, and asked me with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoxun, are you leaving now?" How did you get home? ”

I smiled at my mother and said, "Mom, I took a taxi home, and when I got to the entrance of the village, I got out of the car and walked home." I wanted to stay at home for two days, but when I entered the village, I suddenly received a business call, and I had no choice but to leave immediately. Alas, the call came a few minutes late, and the taxi had already left. But it doesn't matter, I'm young and strong, and I'll be able to get a taxi when I walk a few more miles and get to town. ”

My mother's eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to let me walk so much. She turned her head to her father and said, "You go and see if the second dog is at home, and let him drive Xiaoxun!" ”

My father said 'um' and stood up and was about to leave, but I hurriedly stopped: "Dad, Mom, don't, I'm okay to walk this way, not to mention that the moon is still so bright tonight!" Don't alarm the people in the village, because of my report, the people in the village hate me a lot! Didn't the second dog also make fake drugs? He's not hating me, thank God, how could he still drive me? ”

The father, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and said happily: "My Xiaoxun is a real man!" Although everyone hated you at the beginning, but later the people's police, industry and commerce, health and other departments went deep into our village and did a lot of propaganda work, and the people in the village understood the truth. Almost everyone feels that they have done things that hurt nature and reason, especially because you introduced that Boss Wang to our village to set up a business, and now the whole village has benefited and earned a lot of income! Especially this money is earned by their own labor, everyone has a clear conscience, everyone is living a happy life, and the villagers are thinking about your good! ”

I couldn't believe my ears, I didn't expect things to turn so quickly. Although I understand that some reasonable villagers may understand me, I will never believe that everyone says that I am good, and my father must be comforting me.

Mother said softly: "Xiaoxun, you just listen to your father, he didn't lie to you." You're busy making money outside, your dad and I are very happy, you can go home more often when you have time in the future, and you don't have to sneak around anymore. ”

I let out a soft 'um' and my mother looked happy, and my father was now gone. After a while, there was a roar outside, and my mother hung my travel bag on my shoulder, took my hand, and reluctantly said, "Xiaoxun, Ergou's car is here." You have to do business, although Mom is reluctant to let you go, she will not stop you. Xiaoxun, remember Mom's words, don't make money outside, otherwise you will be retributed! Also, you have to promise your mom that you will come back often in the future and call home if you have nothing to do! ”

I said with tears in my eyes, "Mom, I remember everything!" Mom, don't worry, Xiaoxun will definitely do it. ”

As he was saying goodbye to his mother, the door opened and his father walked in. He just said, 'Xiaoxun, the car has arrived!' I heard a loud voice behind him: "Xiaoxun is going home?" Why do you have to leave when you come back? If you stay a few more days, Ergou will have to get you drunk once! Well, since you're leaving, Ergou will make a special trip to see you back! ”

I hurriedly greeted Ergou warmly, and my eyes had already caught a glimpse of his car parked at the door and not turned off, almost making me laugh. What kind of car is that? It turned out to be a forklift!

I smiled and said, "Dad, you are looking for Ergou to send me, just use this car?" ”

My father nodded, and I said happily, "This car is too high-end, isn't it?" If you go to the city and take this car around, you don't know how cool it is! ”

Mother said a little complainingly: "Xiaoxun, why do you say that about your father?" In the past, almost every family in our village had a car. But something happened, and everyone's cars were sold. Although the economic conditions are slowly starting to improve again, everyone is reluctant to buy a small car, but first thinks about how to invest and make more money. At this time, the only car in the village is the forklift that your second dog brother bought with a loan. Didn't your father just can't bear to see you walking, so he begged Ergou to give you a ride? ”

Before my mother could finish speaking, I blushed with shame. I whispered to my father, "Dad, I'm sorry! My father smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's go up to father and son, what kind words do you say?" Xiaoxun, since you are in a hurry, don't bother, hurry up and let Ergou give you a ride! ”

I said goodbye to my parents with tears in my eyes, got on Ergou's forklift, and drove to the town, although the roar of the forklift was so loud that I could hardly hear the conversation, but I still couldn't help but keep talking with Ergou about the various situations in the village during this time.
