Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sixteenth Day of the First Lunar Month Goes to Work
As you can imagine, Fu Qiang and I pushed the tricycle all the way home, from 9 a.m. to dark at night.
When I got home, I couldn't help but be stunned, the whole two-bedroom was cleaned by Fugui, and there was a festive red lantern hanging at the door of my house, I lay proudly on the sofa, knocking on Erlang's leg, just lit a cigarette, Fugui took an ashtray and said: "Please respect the fruits of my labor, I looked at his angry look, and obediently pressed out the cigarette."
As soon as my mom came in after work, she said:
"Is this our house! I thought I was going to the wrong door. My mom collapsed the bag and walked around the house a few times, even forgetting to put it down.
On that day, my mother was very happy, and gave two hundred yuan to the three of us, one of whom was very conscious, and gave me the money. I looked at them with a smile and a grin, it was really teachable.
I suddenly noticed something strange in my mother's eyes. She stared straight at my hand holding the money.
Then he snatched the money from my hand and handed it to Fugui, who said:
"This is the New Year's money that the eldest mother gave you, don't give Bingbing, that kid is not a good thing, buy whatever you want to eat during the New Year, tomorrow the eldest mother will buy a new set of clothes for you two brothers, since you go to the eldest mother's house, don't treat yourself as an outsider, I treat you two brothers as your own children, there is no money to spend in the future, you squeak.
Bingbing, this kid I have doted on since I was a child, don't be like him.
In the future, with me, Bingbing dares to bully you, you tell me.
Bingbing has beaten him a lot since he was a child.
My dad joked on the side: "Rich, rich and strong, don't be so restrained, today Director Liu told me that you will go to work after the sixteenth day of the first lunar month." The salary is about 2,000 yuan a month, and there are three golds.
But the only thing I don't worry about is that the work of our funeral home is special, you have a three-month internship transition period, a shift of three days, and the three of you will follow Wang Feixiang and Lao Cai first, on duty.
What did Wang Feixiang say? The character is straightforward and rushing, and people have no bad intentions. Lao Cai is a good old man, he never blushes with others, but this person has some grudges, if you offend him, he will not talk to you for the rest of his life!
I said, "Dad, Uncle Cai is so good-tempered?"
My dad said: "Accountant Qi, because I undersent Lao Cai 87 yuan, or 97 fast money, I forgot about it, Lao Cai and her bills for more than a month, and the old people also turned out, and in the end it still didn't come out, Qi Accountant Shanghai is careful, how much is how much, the point that should be given to you will not be less you, and the dime that should not be given to you will not be out."
Lao Cai didn't say anything at the time, just because of these dozens of yuan, he hadn't said a word to Accountant Qi for more than ten years.
My mom glanced at my dad: "Yo, look, your dad knows a lot about accounting, and he is also careful about accounting." If I were her, I wouldn't say a word to Lao Cai, Accounting Qi is a recognized iron in the funeral home, and you are careful when it comes to your mouth.
My dad said, "Aren't I talking about everyone's character with wealth and wealth?" I have to be fair and impartial.
My mom took over: "Is it still fair and just?" At the beginning, Accountant Qi secretly sent Qiubo to you, didn't you still go to the source river dam for a tryst? As soon as I heard the shocking news that my mother hugged my dad, I was immediately interested.
The three of us stared at each other with big theatrical eyes.
My dad was silent at first, and then he became angry and said:
"What's wrong with me dating Accountant Qi, if it weren't for Lao Ding, I would have become with her. I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time. My mother stood up and said, "Okay, you Han Jianguo, it turns out that you haven't forgotten Accounting Qi until now, I said that today you go to receive the year-end bonus, and you get it so quickly, it turns out that she has already prepared the year-end bonus for you." The two of you are still disconnected. Now that Accountant Qi is divorced, your heart is itching, right?
I can sue you Han Jianguo, unless my son and I die, or the surname Qi will not be able to enter the house.
My dad didn't care that there were outsiders in the house and slammed the table. :
"Ai Bing, for the Chinese New Year, do you know what you are talking about? I, Han Jianguo, in this life, only need you and your son.
As soon as my dad finished speaking, he turned around and went out, and the door slammed.
My mother shouted: "Jianguo, you stop, where are you going so late!" I have been accustomed to seeing my parents quarrel like this since I was a child, and I am no longer surprised, I am very calm looking at the rich and powerful, and I see them nervous.
I pouted and said, "Just get used to it."
My mom glared at me and yelled, "Why don't you go quickly, chase your dad back, you kid, hey!
I said, "Mom, aren't you looking for something today!" My mom rushed over and grabbed my ears and lifted me up from the couch.
I yelled and ran out of the house to chase my dad! When I walked to the gate of the compound, I saw my dad squatting under a telephone pole smoking, the light was a little dim, you don't need to look at it to guess, my dad's face must be ugly.
My dad looked at me and said, "What are you doing on such a cold day, go back!" I want to be alone for a while.
I lit a cigarette and put it in my mouth and said, "Dad, let's go!"
My dad obviously didn't expect that I would talk to him this way.
If it were before, I would have been sarcastic without hesitation, and even stimulated him with vicious words, but today I didn't, maybe after experiencing Xing Rui, my thinking is a little mature, and I don't think about the problem in a single-level and narrow way, and I put all the faults on my father.
The father stood up and said, "Go, follow the road, go."
The night in the cold winter was surprisingly cold, and there were no pedestrians on the entire highway, and from time to time a few large trucks pulling sand and soil.
I said, "Dad! My mom is a little nervous today, don't be like him.
My dad was obviously still angry and said, "She's neurotic, it's been decades, which time didn't she make something out of nothing." Bingbing, you can't understand my depression, I really regret marrying her in the first place.
After my dad finished speaking, he watched my reaction cautiously with his spare eyes.
With an indifferent expression, I spit out a puff of cigarette and said casually:
"This kind of marriage is an ordeal for men. If you had chosen Aunt Qi at the beginning, you might have been happier than you are now.
I continued, "Let's go! What are you doing in a daze!
My dad lit another cigarette, handed me another one, and said, "Now that I have put my feelings in a secondary position, as long as you and your mother can be by my side, I will be content."
I said coldly: "Dad, I can see that you gave up all your pursuits for me and my mother, and you are living too depressed now, until I went to prison, you suddenly understood how important the family is."
When I was a child, I could feel that you were very resistant to me and my mother, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a kind of indifference that went deep into the bone marrow. At that time, I didn't understand at all, I always thought in my mind, was it your character, or what made you like this, whether it was because I was naughty and made you and your mother angry.
It wasn't until the day I was released from prison that I suddenly understood that in your heart you love me and my mother. You tolerate this family with your tolerant and even selfless heart, and you give up the woman you love so much.
My dad stopped walking, he looked at me with his mouth half open, and at that moment I could tell from his expression that when I said this, I was no longer his son, but a confidant with whom I had met heart-to-heart.
My dad said, "Son, can you tell?
I had an unconcerned expression, and even said in an acting tone:
"Fools can see it, let alone my mother! Dad, think about it, you have lived with my mother for so many years, is your kind of soul ** a harm to my mother. You and my mother slept in the same bed, and you actually thought about another woman, do you love my mother or not, my mother can see at a glance, have you washed a pair of socks or even cooked a meal over the years? My mom has worked hard for us all her life.
My mother is a woman who has dedicated her life to this family, should she vent when she is in a bad mood?
My father was silent again, and I knew he was thinking.
I then said, in a sarcastic tone akin to that of a radical:
"My dad, I support you in pursuing the woman in your heart, but only if you don't destroy the family.
At that moment, my dad looked at me with a hellish expression and said something that made me almost laugh
