2. Family
The geographical location of Su An's home is in a relatively remote part of Xipu District, Rongcheng, where the economic level in all aspects is very low compared to other districts in Rongcheng, and it is where Su An has lived for 18 years.
Ziwei Community, a honeycomb low-rent house funded by the government, Su An's home is in this community.
Su An's family are all outsiders, where their ancestral home is, Su An doesn't know, his parents have never mentioned it, and as for any other relatives and the like, they have never been told, because in Su An's memory, in addition to his parents, there is only one person who is not a relative who often comes to visit the house, and every New Year's holiday is a simple and warm family of three.
Both parents are ordinary people at the bottom of the society, and his father, Su Feng, works on a construction site, and is a person who feels honest at a glance. Mother Han Ye heard that when he was working in the factory four years ago, he was hit by a slippery machine part, and he was hospitalized for several months without recovery, and the factory lost some money and sent away Su An's mother, and the weak Su An family could only choose to swallow their anger, so their mother Han Ye did housework at home and cooked food, but her sick and weak body was not as good as day by day, which is also the reason why Su An went to work part-time to subsidize the family since he was sensible.
The distance from Longhu Commercial Building to Ziwei Community is also seven kilometers away, and it usually takes about forty or fifty minutes for Su An to walk over, but today's surging mood made him forget the distance, forget the fatigue, and accelerate the whole process.
"At this point, Mom should be at home, and Dad's words should still be working on the construction site. Su An whispered, his footsteps stopped, looking at the old honeycomb building in front of him, the excitement in his heart slowly calmed down, replaced by deep thought, and a touch of complicated emotions spontaneously emerged.
"The official website of Beijing University says that the tuition fee is 4,100 yuan a year, the accommodation fee is 1,000 yuan, and then counting all kinds of tuition and miscellaneous expenses, and the medical insurance fee adds up to a total of 6,300......
Su An hesitated, feeling a little overwhelmed, he knew the situation at home, and there was basically no money left over every month, if he told his parents the news now, wouldn't he be imposing a burden?
"Do you want to tell your parents......" Su An stopped at the gate of the community, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Xiao An, why are you standing stupidly at the door?" As Su An was in a daze, a soft and familiar voice sounded behind him.
"Ah!?Mom, why are you here?" Su An came back to his senses, the tangled color on his face suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly turned around and walked to Han Ye's side.
Looking at the vegetables in the plastic bag in Han Ye's hand, Su An suddenly became clear at a glance: "I'm sorry, Mom, I knew you were going to come out to buy vegetables, I should have called you and said that I would get off work early today, I just bought the vegetables back, the floor is so high, the vegetable field is so far away, are you tired?"
Su An looked at his mother Han Ye with concern, quickly snatched a bag of vegetables from Han Ye's hand with one hand, and put the other hand on Han Ye's shoulder.
Han Ye is petite, very thin, his face is abnormally pale, and his lips are not much blood, but despite this, it can be seen that Han Ye was very beautiful when he was young, because Su An looked more like his mother.
Listening to Su An's warm words, Han Ye patted Su An's hand on her shoulder, and said softly: "It's okay Xiao An, it's rare that the weather is good today, my mother came out to buy vegetables, and by the way, I came out to bask in the sun, which is also good, I don't know if there will be so many opportunities to enjoy such warm sunshine in the future, hehe." ”
Listening to Han Ye's bland words, Su An's whole body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Mom, I heard that there is a spiritual prayer method, that is, the so-called never forget, there will be an echo! I will pray for you every day, I believe, your body will get better, and Mom, you are such a kind person, you will definitely have good luck, you must be happy every day, and maintain an optimistic attitude!"
Su An smiled and helped his mother into the community, looking at the smile on the corner of his mother's mouth, Su An had already made a choice about what he thought before.
"Actually, it's good to be an ordinary person, find a job not far from home, and accompany your parents, well!" Su Anxin thought so, but he didn't realize it, the fist holding the dish was clenched tightly at that moment, and his nails were even deeper into the flesh.
When he was about to walk to the building where his home was located, Han Ye seemed to remember something, and a happy smile appeared on his pale face: "By the way, Xiao An, Mei Xue's girl came here this morning, seeing that you were not at home, you chatted with me for a while, and you only walked with me about an hour ago." ”
"Sister Mei?" Su An exclaimed, her voice filled with a hint of joy.
"Well, it's Mei Xue's girl, this girl usually comes in the morning, chats with me, and helps me with housework, you have a true friend like Mei Xue, your mother is really happy for you!" Speaking of Mei Xue, Han Ye liked it very much in his heart, and the smile on his face increased.
Thinking of Mei Xue's heartfelt smile when she talked about Su An, a trace of gloom suddenly flashed in Han Ye's eyes, she could see that Mei Xue's girl seemed to have different feelings of friendship for her son, but she could also see that Mei Xue's family conditions must be very good, and her words and deeds were full of nobility and elegance.
Thinking of Mei Xue's noble but approachable and beautiful appearance, Su Anxin was also overjoyed, and when she carefully helped her mother up the stairs, she said with a smile: "Then what is Sister Mei talking to you about today?
"That's a little bit, that kid seems to be quite interested in cooking, but the topics she came to chat with me today are all about you, oh stinky boy, be happy!" Han Ye smiled meaningfully at Su An.
"About me?" Su An looked surprised, but didn't pay attention to the smile in Han Ye's tone.
Han Ye nodded and said, "Well, after Mei Xue's girl came to talk to me about cooking skills for a while today, she asked me a little hesitantly if you have received an admission notice from the university, the girl seems to have received an admission notice, and the whole person is very excited, and I don't know what kind of university I was admitted to, but it can be seen from the girl's expression that it should be a very good university!
"I ......" After listening to Han Ye's words, Su An's body stiffened, and his speech became slurred, and he was a little panicked, and at the same time, he also knew why Mei Xue came to ask him if he had received an admission notice.
Because, when filling in the volunteer at that time, Su An did not hesitate to fill in Beijing University, and Mei Xue followed with a smile.
At that time, Su An also smiled and said, "Sister Mei, don't regret it, my grades are the first in the whole grade, you should be cautious about being the third!"
And Mei Xue responded to him with just beautiful white eyes.
Now it seems that Mei Xue really did it, and she received the admission notice on the same day as him, she should have been happy for Mei Xue, but deep down she had a trace of unwillingness, and the corners of her mouth were also filled with bitterness.
"What's the matter, Xiao An, stunned, do you know which school Mei Xue's girl was admitted to, and your heart is shocked? But my mother believes that my Xiao An will definitely pass the exam, hehe!" Han Ye is particularly confident in Su An, because what makes her proudest is her son's excellent results, and what makes her happy is her son's hard work under the lamp late at night.
After hesitating for a while, Su An raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "Mom, I haven't received the admission notice yet, and ...... Moreover, I was a little too arrogant to fill in the application this time, and it seems that the score line of the school I applied for is too high, and I may ...... Maybe I won't be able to pass the exam, I'm sorry, Mom, I ......"
"I'm sorry, excuse me, I'm a staff member of the Beijing SF Line, may I ask how many floors is No. 66, Building 16, Ziwei Community, here is their express, I'm really sorry, there are too many room numbers here, I can't find it for a while, and I also wasted a lot of effort to find here." Su An was interrupted by the sudden words behind him, and the mother and son looked back and saw that the person's clothes were indeed SF Express's couriers.
However, Su An and Han Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, because the 16th building No. 66 reported by this courier is their home, and, listening to what this courier said, he is still a special line delivery person in the capital, and his family has not purchased anything online recently, let alone spend a lot of money to ask for special line delivery, special line delivery is specially used to deliver goods by plane, and the delivery price is not something that their family can afford casually.
"That, hello, the address you said happens to be my home, but it doesn't seem that my family has been shopping online recently!" Han Ye said a little uncertainly, because in addition to her doubts, she was more worried that the express delivery delivered by this courier was the type of after-sales payment.
It seemed to see Han Ye's doubts, this courier was also very shrewd, and immediately said politely: "Hello, the thing sent this time is not the goods purchased online, nor is it the type of after-sales payment, this time the goods are funded by Jingda in Beijing and sent by the special line in person, may I ask, who is Mr. Su An?" After the courier glanced at the courier information, he looked at the mother and son in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Ah, I am, is there something wrong?" Su Anxin said a little bumpy, and a not-so-good premonition arose.
The courier smiled, pointed to the courier in his hand and said: "It turns out that you are Mr. Su An, it's amazing, you can get the items sent by Beijing University, Mr. Su An is really enviable, now please show your ID card and prepare to sign for it!"
The answer in his heart is already eight or nine, and Su An has already guessed the things inside the express, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and quietly glanced at the half-surprised and half-puzzled look of his mother next to him, Su An sighed, and still took out his ID card and signed for the object.
Su An's identity was determined, and during the whole process, the courier's attitude was almost flattering, but Su An's heart was extremely heavy.
Holding a lightweight courier, Su An felt like he was carrying a heavy burden, helping his mother and returning home without saying a word.
Su An's home is a small house with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, and the specifications are very small, about 40 square meters, which is also the standard of honeycomb houses in the crape myrtle community.
After putting the courier on the table, Su An put the food in his hand in the kitchen room separated from the hall, and tried to be extremely calm during the whole process.
Zhizi Moruo's parents, sitting at the table to rest, looking at the courier in front of him, and then looking at his son who was too calm, although Han Ye didn't know what was going on, but her son's abnormality, as a mother, she still felt it, and Su An had been busy in the kitchen, and occasionally came out without looking at the courier, which made Han Ye suspicious, and even had some answers.
"Xiao An, come here, mom asks you something!" Han Ye said softly.
"Mom, I'll come after I cut the green onion into chopped green onions, you go and rest first!" Su An said from the kitchen.
"You come here first!" This time Han Ye's voice became a little heavier.
In the kitchen, Su An's kitchen knife for cutting green onions also stopped in mid-air, sighed, and didn't dare to disobey his mother's words, Su An washed his hands and walked out, sat opposite Han Ye, and said with a smile: "Mom, why are you so serious, look at you, it's not beautiful when you're serious!"
"It's not big or small, mom asks you something!" Han Ye smiled in his heart, but he still said with a serious expression on his face: "Xiao An, open this express box, mom knows, this thing is yours, and besides, mom is not stupid, she can guess something." ”
Su An's words were suddenly speechless, with Han Ye's shrewdness, how could he not see his son's abnormality, and from the courier's words, a lot of information was also revealed.
"Mom, I'm ......"
"Open!"
"Alas......" Su An reached out and took the courier box, but the courier box at this time became heavy, not that the courier was really heavy, but the heaviness of his heart and the weight of guilt for lying to his mother.
Carefully opened the express box, revealing a burgundy booklet inside, printed with a gorgeous building pattern, under the pattern is the words "Jinghua University Admission Notice", the font is elegant, the printing color is bronzing, giving people a sense of luxury and atmosphere.
"Sure enough, my Xiao An really applied for the Beijing University, and really got in, when Mei Xue's girl took out her notice, when she asked about you again, I should have guessed, ......hmm" Han Ye stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, his eyes were foggy, and finally turned into tears rolling down.
Seeing her mother shed tears, Su An felt very uncomfortable, got up and walked behind Han Ye, patted her mother's back gently, and said guiltily: "Mom, I'm sorry, I ...... I didn't mean to lie to you, I just ......"
"I know, mom knows!"
Han Ye grabbed Su An's hand, and when he turned his head, Su An's pupils shrank even more, because his mother's face was already covered with tears.
Looking at the tears on his mother's face, Su An's heart tingled, causing his mother to be so tearful, it was him, the son who has always been loved by his mother, Su An's heart was very uncomfortable.
Hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears on her mother's face, Su An knelt in front of her mother with a puff, lowered her head, and said sorry over and over again.
At this time, the sound of the door unlocking suddenly sounded, and the mother and son both looked up in the direction of the gate, although there was some doubt in their eyes, they also knew who it was.
"I'm back, Xiao An, Ah Ye, today, the temperature is too high, the construction site is rare for us to leave work in advance, and we have given three times the high temperature fee, Xiao An, come on, Dad bought the pork belly you like, Ah Ye, eat braised pork tonight...... Belch...... , you mother and son, this is ...... What are you doing?" a gentle voice came from outside the door with joy, and then it stopped abruptly.
Su Feng's face was stunned for a while, looking at a family member kneeling on the ground in front of him, and a family member sitting on a chair crying bitterly, Su Feng said: "What's the matter, you mother and son, why are you crying like this, Xiao An, did you make your mother angry?" Ah Ye, what's going on?"
Su Feng put down the pork belly in his hand, pulled out a chair and sat aside, looking at the mother and son in front of him, waiting quietly.
Usually, when he saw his father coming back with pork belly, Su Feng would be very happy to take it, but now, he lowered his head and ignored the pork belly, let alone dared to meet his father's eyes.
Because, he made his mother, who had always loved him, sad to tears, which he could never forgive himself.
"Xiao An, raise your head, ask your father's question......" Su Feng's tone also became a little more stern, which was also because he saw his wife crying so sadly.
This is the first time in so many years that I have seen my wife so sad, even if she was unemployed four years ago, it did not make Han Ye as sad as she is today.
Su Feng loves Su An and Han Ye, both of them are his heart, he can't take sides, but as a man, the second man in the family, Su Feng thinks that Su An has the obligation to take responsibility.
"Dad, I ......"
"It's not like this, Brother Feng, it's not about Xiao An, it's that I'm too excited, I didn't control it, I wasn't sad, I was just too moved, our son is not wrong, but we are a little sorry for our son, our son is too sensible, and because of this, we almost lost a son with an unlimited future, Brother Feng. We're sorry Xiao An!" Han Ye hurriedly took Su Feng's hand and cried.
"Eh????" As soon as Han Ye said this, Su Feng, who was pretending to be angry, was stunned for a moment.
Looking at her husband's confused appearance, Han Ye burst into tears and smiled, wiped away the tears on her face, pulled up her son, and then told the man who was the pillar of the family about the previous series of things, and pushed the admission letter of Beijing University in front of Su Feng.
Afterwards, it was inevitable that there would be an excited laugh and a voice of guilt for his son, and the ups and downs in Su Feng's heart were indescribable.
Needless to say, Su Feng and Han Ye both knew what the reason for him was doing this, patted his son's shoulder, and Su Feng smiled: " Son, don't worry about anything, you just need to study, just study well, your parents don't read much, your culture is not high, they can't help you anything, but Dad has strength, Dad can still make money, it can definitely provide you with college, you can be admitted to Beijing University, how many students' dreams, not only do you not have to worry about whether your parents can bear such a burden, but what Mom and Dad want to tell you is that you can be so promising, Mom and Dad are proud of you and proud of you, son!"
Looking at the look of encouragement in his parents' eyes and the smile on his face, Su An's throat seemed to be blocked by something, his eyes were suddenly red, his eyes were full of mist, and he hugged Su Feng and Han Ye fiercely.
Su An was hugged to bed by Su Feng, gently covered the quilt, looking at the redness and swelling of Su An's eyes, Su Feng couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Stinky boy, you are eighteen or nineteen years old and still crying like this, see which girl will like you in the future......" Then his own eyes turned red again.
"That's not necessarily, my Xiao An is so handsome. Han Ye walked in and stood with Su Feng looking at the sleeping Su An.
After a while, Han Ye suddenly said softly, "Brother Feng, I'm sorry for letting you bear so much ...... alone"
"What nonsense, we are husband and wife, at the beginning, you were able to marry me despite the opposition of your family, I felt that this was a great luck, and in the end, there was such a sensible son as Xiao An, let me bear anything, I am willing, I am willing, it's just, for so many years, let you suffer so much with me, if you have to say sorry, then it should be me who should say sorry!" Su Feng's thick arms gently hugged Han Ye, and his heart was stunned.
After being silent for a while, Su Feng said: "I have decided, after Xiao An goes to the capital, we will leave Rongcheng and go to Shencheng to find a job, where the salary is high, and there is nothing to suffer, as long as you and Xiao An can eat and dress warmly, I will be satisfied, Ah Ye, do you agree?"
"Well, it's all up to you. Back then, it wasn't where you went, I went there, I just hope that Xiao An in the future will not be like us. Han Ye nodded, his eyes turned to Su An, and his expression was full of love.
"Ah Ye ............"
