Chapter Twenty-Five: The Rough Life of My Parents
As soon as Wang Chen took out the mobile phone from the space package, he received more than a dozen text messages reminding the call, and when he opened it, it turned out that his parents had made more than a dozen calls to him, but because the mobile phone was taken to Blue Star by him, the mobile phone signal could not be connected, and it was treated as a no-signal call reminder by the operator.
Thinking that his parents must have made so many calls to him in a row, Wang Chen hurriedly dialed his father's mobile phone number.
After the mobile phone rang a few times, Wang Chen's ears rang his father's slightly anxious words with a thick Shu accent: "Hey! Wang Chen, don't you have anything to do? Why can't you get through on your phone? I thought something was wrong with you? β
"It's nothing, I just realized that I don't know when I put my phone into airplane mode. Where have you been? β
"We all got on the bus back to the county, and we got home in half an hour, and the car was very noisy, so let's talk about it when we come back."
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Wang Chen's parents appeared outside the door, looking at the white hair on his head and the wrinkles on his face that had only been seen for half a year, Wang Chen had the urge to cry.
I still remember that two or three years ago, although my father was 50 years old, he looked only in his early forties, in order to be able to make himself and his younger brother have a good wife, he resolutely took out his small savings and borrowed more than 200,000 yuan from relatives and friends to buy a house.
In order to repay the debt, my parents had to work on my uncle's construction site at the age of 50 despite the severe cold and heat, and in just two or three years, most of the black hair on my former head had turned white, and there were many wrinkles on my face.
Wang Chen looked at his father's current appearance and realized how unfilial he was before, and he was actually angry because he felt that his parents spent half of his life's savings and pulled so many foreign debts to buy a house was not worth it.
After working on the construction site for two years, because they couldn't stand the heat, they left their parents and left the construction site by themselves, and after they found a job installing air conditioners for themselves, they refused to endure hardship, and the money they earned every month was only enough for themselves.
I have never accepted that the house has been bought, and then I think about the facts that are useless, and I have been living in resentment and refusing to share the pressure for my parents, until now Wang Chen understands that his so-called resentment is just an excuse for his laziness.
"Dad...... Mom......" Wang Chen shouted with a hint of crying.
This "parents" made Wang Chen's parents' eyes become a little moist, because when Wang Chen's two brothers were very young, their parents hid in other provinces for nearly ten years because their business collapsed and they were being collected for debts, and they had not met in ten years except for occasional correspondence.
And because Wang Chen's father had several accidents in the coal mine in the years when he was hiding debts outside, he spent his own savings to heal them, and there was no extra money to send home except for tuition, and Wang Chen's two brothers suffered a lot.
So they actually knew in their hearts that Wang Chen's two brothers did not have much affection for them, which can be seen from the fact that Wang Chen has been calling them "old man, old mother" instead of "parents" according to local customs since they paid off their debts and returned to their hometown.
But out of guilt that the two children have not had fatherly and maternal love since they were young, although the children are a little distant and do not blame them in the slightest.
Especially after the eldest son Wang Chen was admitted to college, he was deceived by his "friends" who were engaged in pyramid ~ sales, and his mother had to have **tumor surgery and had no money to continue to pay tuition, so he had to drop out of school after one year of study, which made them feel more guilty about Wang Chen, and also made them more indulgent to Wang Chen, and finally developed his lazy character.
Now that they heard Wang Chen, who hadn't called them "Mom and Dad" for more than ten years, their eyes were moistened unconsciously, and Wang Chen's mother's tears flowed uncontrollably.
Wang Chen saw his mother crying tears and began to pour out, and it took a long time to hold back the tears and not let them flow out, he said angrily: "Mom, don't cry, you should be happy, you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future, I will definitely honor you in the future." β
Wang Chen has always known that he is not a filial person, and he also knows that he is not a self-motivated person, but he is definitely not a scumbag, he also knows that his parents work hard, and he wants to share debts for them more than once, but except for the 60,000 yuan earned on the construction site, the others have lost in their laziness.
In the past, he had no surplus food because he wanted to be filial and weak, but now he has some capital to let his parents live carefree, and he will no longer be stingy with his parents.
Wang Chen's father wiped under Wang Chen's mother's eyes and said, "Yes! Don't cry, don't cry. Wang Chen is sensible now, I, a father, don't have the ability, but fortunately, God has opened his eyes, and now he has the capital to do what he has always wanted to do, we should be happy for him. β
Wang Chen helped his mother, who was still crying, to sit on the sofa and let his father comfort her, while he carried his parents' luggage into the house, and after he put all the luggage, his mother's mood also stabilized.
"Mom and Dad, let's go out to dinner first, and I'll take you to see the house I booked after dinner. When my brother comes back in the afternoon, I will tell you about my plans for the future. β
Then the three of them went out together, and the time flowed on the way to eat, look at the house, and find the decoration company, and before they knew it, it was almost evening when they picked up the younger brother who rushed back and went to see the house.
After dinner, the family of four sat in the living room of the old house to discuss the future of the family.
Seeing that his parents and younger brother were looking at him, Wang Chen opened his mouth and said: "Parents, Erguo (Wang Chen's brother's nickname), now that the family has money but can't sit and eat empty, hasn't Erguo always wanted to open a dessert shop?" Tomorrow you go to see if there is a suitable storefront, and we will plate him down and open a store for Erguo. β
Wang Chen's younger brother jumped up when he heard this and said, "Brother, really? You're so good! β
Wang Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't be happy too early, there are conditions." First, because of some special reasons, I can't always accompany my parents, so this task is entrusted to you; Second, I will give the newly bought villa and faΓ§ade, as well as the car I buy tomorrow, to my parents, but I can't transfer it to others in their lifetime. β
Wang Chen's younger brother was puzzled: "The first one is easy to understand, what does the second one mean?" β
"What do you mean? It means that if you and your future wife are not filial to your parents, the villa, the faΓ§ade, and the car will not belong to you in the future. Of course, I didn't do this because I didn't worry about you, but because I knew that you were too jumpy, in case you didn't want to make desserts that day, and you ran away with a slap on your buttocks, what will your parents do in the future? β
"What about you?"
"Didn't I tell you? I have some things to attend to that I can't be at home all the time, but I do call my parents every day to say goodbye. How's that? Are you willing to be restrained? As long as you accompany your parents well, these will be yours when your parents are old. β
"That's good!"
