Chapter Fifty-Six: Parents in My Hometown!
Out of the supermarket, I from Alipay, deliberately transferred out 200,000 yuan in a bank card, the 200,000, I want to replace my two-story building with foreign tiles, so that it will not leak rain, and then the balcony is also wrapped, in winter my parents can be in the balcony in the sun, not afraid of the northwest wind, of course, the room at home, can also be decorated, laid with wooden floors, so that my parents live a little more comfortable.
It has not been easy for my parents to train me to study and be admitted to university, and because I got married, I have exhausted all their savings, and I have always been very reluctant to go, every time I go back to my hometown for the New Year, my parents tell me to let me run my family, saying that they are not bitter, as long as Xu Lu and I live well and have a child, then their wishes will be granted, but I am not angry, and in the end I divorced.
With mixed feelings, I drove towards my hometown.
My home is in Taicheng, Jiang Province, located in a mountainous rural area, starting from Jincheng, to my hometown, more than 500 kilometers, if you drive, no matter how to say, it will take six or seven hours.
I drove at high speed all the way, had lunch in the service area in the middle, added a tank of gas, and came to the entrance of my village, which was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Nan, why did you suddenly go home?"
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw the village chief Song Baoping greeting me.
"Uncle Baoping, I'll go home to see my parents, and then tomorrow my brother-in-law's house will have a drink, and my cousin will be admitted to the district key high school." I laughed.
"Hahahaha, this is a good thing, your brother-in-law is finally going to get out, this high school is college, and in the future, your cousin will be a college student like you, and then go to the big city to glorify his ancestors and marry a daughter-in-law in the city." Song Baoping said with a smile.
"Hmm." I nodded, a little embarrassed.
Because I married Xu Lu, in terms of buying a car, Xu Lu had to have a BBA to save face, so my BMW 3 Series can be said to be the only BBA in the village, and many people in the village know that I drive a BMW, and they also know that I opened a dance studio in Jincheng and married a beautiful woman in the city.
I have always been the pride of my parents, the hard-working child of other people's families, and the elders in the village will use me as an example to teach their children, saying how talented and capable I am, but they don't know that I have done my best to get married, and even drained my parents' savings.
No matter how big something happened in Jincheng, the village didn't know about it, everyone only knew that I was very good in the city, and I didn't explain it.
It's just that these external factors actually put some pressure on my parents, because although I seem to drive a good car, have a house in the city, and seem to make a lot of money, but my parents' house has been dilapidated, and sometimes people in the village will gossip and ask my parents, saying that they don't repair the house, saying that everyone has built a small bungalow.
In this regard, my parents always said that they didn't want to cause trouble to their children, and the two of them were old, so they could just live there.
I remember one time, the rich sister-in-law in the village also asked me, saying Xiao Nan, your parents have also worked hard all their lives, after you marry your wife, you also have a house in the city, why don't you take your parents to live in the city?
My rich sister-in-law asked this, which made me very embarrassed at that time, but when my parents heard it, they said that they were not used to living in the city, how could there be a comfortable countryside, and there were few people talking in the city, and the village was so lively.
I remember all these things, and I know that I have done too little to my parents, who have been giving and I have been taken care of by them.
Am I really growing up? Am I really an adult man? I should have let my parents live a good life, but what about me?
Sometimes, I can't wait to slap my two big mouths hard to make myself sober and sober, maybe I am fascinated by Xu Lu's ghost, I feel that I have found the love of my life, so I am obedient to Xu Lu's family, but I ignore my parents so much.
As the car continued to drive, I could already see my two-story building, in my yard, in front of the well, my mother was dressed modestly, and she was washing vegetables.
I haven't seen my parents for a long time, I went home once for the New Year, I want to come back during the May Day holiday, Xu Lu said that it is more than 1,000 kilometers back and forth, and I have to buy things, which is too expensive, so I simply spent May Day at her mother's house, although I know that my parents miss me very much, but they called me and said that I should not think about going home from the old age, and I want to make good money.
My parents' tolerance made me feel more and more uncomfortable, and I suddenly found that my mother was really old.
My mother, who was in her early fifties, and who already had a strand of gray hair on either side of her sideburns, saw my car driving into the yard, got up from the bench, shook her hands, and shouted, "Old man, my son is back!" ”
My mom was a big voice, and she called my dad out with this voice.
My dad still has a kitchen knife in his hand, and there is half a chicken on the cutting board of the Eight Immortals table in the house.
As you can imagine, I came home today, my dad killed a big rooster, and my mom was preparing the dinner for the night.
"Mom, Dad!" I got out of the car and shouted.
"Son, you've been driving for a hard day, you go upstairs to rest first, and your mother will call you to eat later." My mom wiped her hands on her apron and stepped forward to grab my hand.
At this handshake, I suddenly felt that my mother's palm was a little rough, and I couldn't help but look down at my mother's hand.
"What are you doing?" My mom laughed.
Grabbing my mother's hand, I took a closer look.
How many years, how many years have I not looked at my mother's hands, when I was a child, my mother took my hand to study, at that time I felt that my mother's hands were so slippery and white, at that time I especially liked to hold my mother's hand, it felt very warm.
Time passed, and I noticed that the backs of my mother's hands were rough, there were many calluses on the palms, and the nails were a little black, and before I knew it, I suddenly felt a little sour in my nose.
"Xiao Nan, what are you looking at? Why is it weird today? My mom smiled.
Holding back my tears, I hurriedly laughed and said, "Dad, Mom, what good things do you see I bought?" ”
As I spoke, I hurriedly opened the trunk and took out the cigarettes, alcohol, and some nutritional supplements.
"How can you waste money like this kid, you also buy cigarettes and alcohol for your father, how expensive is this, let Lulu know that you will quarrel!" When my mom saw that I had bought so many things, she immediately glared at me with some displeasure.
"Yes kid, why do you buy so many things, it's not the Chinese New Year, are you okay?" My dad frowned, and he took a few steps forward and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I just see you working so hard, buy something to honor you." I laughed.
"That's not right, how can you buy such good cigarettes, and then this wine is not cheap, right?" My dad was a little confused.
