Chapter 1136: Tomb Sweeping and Return!
"Yes, I don't stay home at night, I'm going to report to the new company tomorrow." I said.
"Okay." My dad looked slightly disappointed.
"Old man, my son has a job and can't be delayed, don't think too much." As my mother spoke, she took a big bag of tin foil ingots, pulled my dad to pack some things, and then said that she could go to the grave.
I drove my parents to a cemetery in the village.
Now the countryside has popularized cemeteries, it is the kind of small cemetery, I heard my mother say that the cemetery in the village is not expensive, unlike in the city, I don't know much about these, but what I know is that a cemetery in a big city costs more than 100,000 or 200,000, even the urn has grades.
"Son, you're divorced now, have you moved out too?" My mom sat in the back seat and asked suddenly.
"Yes, I moved out, I have a house in the magic capital, it is finely decorated, you can live in it directly, and the place where you live is not far from where you work." I said.
"That's good." My mom nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm doing well, the new company is poaching me, I will work with a big project, and my salary is not a lot, and there are dividends at the end of the year." I was afraid that my parents would be worried, so I hurriedly comforted me.
"Son, don't always take care of your career, you also have to take care of your feelings, I know you want to prove yourself, our family is not a big family, you are ordinary, Dad's wish is that you live a down-to-earth life, we will have grandchildren in the future, and our family will have a future." My dad said.
"Hmm." I promised.
In fact, I know what my parents think, the ideas of the older generation are actually similar, that is, the children's jobs are stable, the family is complete, as for how much money to make, enough to spend, ordinary people in a lifetime, how much money can be spent, the old people always hope that their juniors will not work too hard, according to their words, good health, a happy family is enough, it's that simple.
Coming to a cemetery in the village, our family of three came to two tombstones.
This is the cemetery of my grandparents, my father and my mother kowtowed first, and then I also knelt down and kowtowed, closed my eyes and let the old man bless my life can be smoother, as for the follow-up, it is to burn tin foil and paper money, which is also our local custom.
I stood aside and watched my dad talk to the old man in front of the tombstone, took out a cigarette and lit one.
How long has it been since I have been sweeping the grave with my family, especially in the last year, what have I been doing, I have been divorced twice a year, and my relationship has suffered one after another, and sometimes I even wonder if there is something wrong with me, whether it is also with me many times.
At noon, when our family went back, my mother began to prepare lunch, and as for my dad, he said that his driver's license would come out in another month, and in the afternoon I specially took my dad and asked him to drive my car in the village and take a test drive.
With me by my side, my dad was nervous from the beginning, but slowly stabilized, and when he returned home, he told my mother that it had already started, but the road test had not yet been taken.
I went home during the Qingming Festival and didn't stay long, but unfortunately there are very few flights from Taicheng to the Demon Capital, after a flight in the morning, it is a flight at more than nine o'clock in the evening, and in this way, I will take the high-speed rail instead.
The high-speed train at 3 o'clock in the afternoon arrived at 8 o'clock in the evening at Hongqiao Station, which I think is just the right time.
"Son, you came back too much this time, I knew you were in such a hurry, so don't come back." My mom said reluctantly.
"I haven't come back to sweep the tomb with you for many years, it's rare, as long as I'm empty in the future, I'll come every year." I smiled.
"You kid, then you pay attention to safety on the road." My mom waved at me.
Saying goodbye to my parents, I drove over to downtown Taicheng.
The car was parked in the community where the new house was located, so I took a taxi and came to the high-speed rail station.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, I walked into the carriage and sat down by the window.
This is the first time I have done the high-speed rail in Taicheng, this high-speed rail station is newly built, and the country has also attached importance to the more remote areas, which is different from before, and now it is much more convenient.
"I'm sorry sir, you seem to be in my seat."
With a voice, I looked up, and then I saw a man carrying two large suitcases.
The man was wearing a shabby leather jacket, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his hair was disheveled, and he held a bucket of instant noodles in his hand.
"I'll see." I hurriedly picked up the ticket and looked at it, and then hurriedly said, "Sorry, then I'll sit outside." ”
"It's okay, you can sit down, I'll just talk to you, it's convenient for me to sit in the aisle." The man forced a smile.
"Are you really okay?" I said.
"It's not easy for me to sit in the two suitcases, so I'll sit outside." The man smiled.
Hearing this, I nodded, and watched as the man put the two suitcases away, and I looked at the whole carriage, and as for the man, he had already left his seat.
The train had already left the platform, and not long after, the man was eating next to me with a bucket of instant noodles.
I smiled at the man's relish, maybe he was really hungry, even though it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hey, do you have any quality, how can you eat instant noodles in the carriage, how bad does this smell is, what are you doing!"
"That's it, it's sick, this smell is too big, do you think this is a train, this is a high-speed rail, this is a high-speed rail, don't make the whole train that set!"
"If you really don't have quality, you shouldn't set up a platform in a place like Taicheng, everyone has it!"
"Hey, what do you mean, what's wrong with Taecheng?"
Under the continuous sound of words, there was a sudden quarrel, and the man quickly finished eating instant noodles and walked out of the aisle, his face was red, and he said some sorry words.
Hey, it seems that even the villagers of this province have regional prejudices, and it is normal for the provincial capital city to look down on our small place, after all, our hometown is already a place with a bad corner, but everyone takes the same high-speed rail, just because of eating instant noodles, there is no need, after all, sitting for so long, you always have to eat.
"I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry to come out today, I didn't even care about lunch, I was too hungry." The man sat back down next to me and said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, don't think too much." I said.
"Are you going to the magic capital too?" The man nodded, then continued.
"Yes, what about you?" I smiled.
"Me too, I want to try to run a courier." The man said.
"Uh-oh." I nodded understandingly, and glanced at the man.
"You don't look like you're an ordinary person, you're in business, right?" The man asked curiously.
"I'm also an ordinary person." I smiled unnaturally.
"It's not like, you're quite successful at first glance, I heard from my old family that it's not bad to run express delivery in the magic capital, so I'm going to try it, we can't make a lot of money running express delivery in Taicheng, and I still have a wife and children to raise." The man shook his head and continued.
"How much does it cost to run express delivery in Taicheng for a month?" I was intrigued.
"I am a small van running, from the distribution center to various post stations, more than three thousand a month, I heard that there are six or seven thousand express delivery in the magic capital, no matter how you say it, this is doubled." The man continued.
"Running a post station, more than 3,000 a month?" I frowned.
I admit that I don't know much about this industry, but in my impression, is it less?
"I can barely make ends meet, I have two daughters, my wife is pregnant again, and now my mother is helping to take care of the children, and I want to get this salary again, it is definitely not enough." The man forced a smile.
"Do you have so many children?" I asked.
"Hey, in fact, I just want to have a son, the meaning of the family is that there is a son, I also figured it out, if my wife is still a daughter, then forget it." The man said.
"Well, actually, my daughter is pretty good, the same." I nodded.
"Big brother, you also know that our daughter is going to get married, especially if she is married far away, she can come back a few times a year, but the son is at home, and if there is something around him, he can still help." The man continued.
"In fact, it depends on whether the child is filial or not in the future, and the son and daughter are the same." I said.
"Also, the main thing is to see if the child is filial in the future." The man forced a smile.
