Chapter 5: The Thirtieth Year of the Chinese New Year's Eve
Ma Xiaoyuan quietly waited for his parents to come back, today he decided to have a showdown with his parents, he had to go out of the house, otherwise he would really go crazy.
At midnight, Ma Xiaoyuan's mother Liu Yuexiu arrived home first, Ma Xiaoyuan saw his mother coming back, and did not tell his mother his thoughts first, but helped his mother cook a meal together, waiting for his father to come back and eat together.
Because Ma Xiaoyuan's parents go home at this point every day, at this time, the food they ate at night has already turned into residues in their stomachs, and they can't sleep without a supper.
didn't make them wait too long, and half an hour later, Ma Xiaoyuan's father came back, and the family of three dined together.
During the meal, Ma Xiaoyuan didn't say anything, so as not to affect his parents' mood and lose his appetite.
After the meal, Ma Xiaoyuan calmly opened his mouth: "Dad, Mom, I've been thinking about it for several days, I really can't stay at home, otherwise I'll really go crazy." ”
"Haven't you been practicing calligraphy and painting at home like this for many years? When you first decided to become a calligrapher and painter, did you just give up? Father Ma Huaishan opened his mouth first.
"I don't think I'm that material at all, I have a few pounds and a few taels, I still know myself, I want to go out and earn money." Ma Xiaoyuan is still calm.
At Ma Xiaoyuan's insistence, Ma's father and mother finally made concessions, they made three demands to Ma Xiaoyuan, if Ma Xiaoyuan agreed to these three requests, they promised Ma Xiaoyuan to go out to earn money.
The three requirements are:
1. Ma Xiaoyuan cannot use his ID card;
Second, Ma Xiaoyuan must not leave the city;
3. Ma Xiaoyuan is not allowed to borrow money from anyone.
Originally, in the past month, Ma Xiaoyuan has been looking for his ID card, but he has not found it, thinking that it was hidden by his parents, the first one, not to use the ID card, then don't use it.
Second, you must not leave this city, Ma Xiaoyuan had no intention of leaving this city, if he couldn't make money in this city, it wouldn't be much better if he went to other cities.
The third one, you can't borrow money from anyone, Ma Xiaoyuan doesn't know anyone, and there is no problem with borrowing money from anyone.
Therefore, Ma Xiaoyuan basically did not hesitate much, and agreed to the three requests put forward by Ma's father and mother.
However, to Ma Xiaoyuan's surprise, without an ID card, he really couldn't find a job in Guangzhou, and even went to an Internet café to get an ID, not to mention others.
After a few days, Ma Xiaoyuan completely gave up the idea of going to some companies and companies to find a job, not to mention whether he is strong or not, whether he is competent for the job, just no ID card is a gap that makes Ma Xiaoyuan insurmountable.
Ma Xiaoyuan, who was depressed, returned home and calmed down to think about where he should go, could he really only stay at home and practice calligraphy and painting? Ma Xiaoyuan was unwilling.
He thought of his father doing chores on the construction site, and since his father could do it, then he could do it himself, but he was just a little tired.
That night, Ma Xiaoyuan expressed his thoughts to his father, but he didn't expect that Ma's father would agree to come down and let Ma Xiaoyuan get up early the next morning and go to the construction site with him.
The father agreed without discussing it with his mother, making Ma Xiaoyuan wonder if his father and mother had also thought of letting Ma Xiaoyuan go to the construction site to do chores before, and discussed it in advance.
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyuan got up early, and after cleaning up, he followed Ma's father to the construction site.
It was very smooth, the contractor of the construction site agreed to leave Ma Xiaoyuan behind, help him with chores on the construction site, and learn some bricklayers, steel workers, wood mold workers, and frame workers by the way.
In this way, Ma Xiaoyuan stayed on the construction site with his father.
Not to mention, although Ma Xiaoyuan lost his memory, it does not mean that he has a bad brain, on the contrary, compared to most construction workers, Ma Xiaoyuan is much smarter.
After three months, Ma Xiaoyuan's salary surpassed that of his father, because he could build walls very quickly like other bricklayers.
Six months later, Ma Xiaoyuan learned to work as a reinforcing steel worker, and his salary increased again, reaching twice that of his father.
After another three months, Ma Xiaoyuan learned to erect wooden models again, and frame workers, and became a small leader on the construction site, the contractor liked Ma Xiaoyuan very much, I heard that Ma Xiaoyuan was still single, and the contractor even wanted to help Ma Xiaoyuan introduce his girlfriend, but Ma Xiaoyuan politely declined.
The Spring Festival of 2008 is the first Spring Festival for Ma Xiaoyuan's family of three in Shenzhen, although the family is not wealthy, more than the upper than the bottom, the income of the family of three together, a month has exceeded 20,000 yuan, for the family to work in Shenzhen, it is good.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, Ma Xiaoyuan specially opened a bottle of good wine, and Ma's father and mother were also very happy, and they also drank a little.
While drinking with his parents and chatting with his parents, all of a sudden, Ma Xiaoyuan felt as if a bright light flashed in his brain, and in his dusty memory, there was a scene about the Spring Festival that was opened.
It was Ma Xiaoyuan's youth, and the family was also eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Ma's father and mother were cooking in the kitchen, and Ma Xiaoyuan was lying on the edge of the table salivating.
However, to Ma Xiaoyuan's great surprise, it was not Ma Xiaoyuan alone lying on the edge of the table, but a little boy who was younger than him.
"Xiaoyuan, Xiaofei, saliva is about to flow into the plate, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." Outside, the voice of the mother of the horse was heard.
The little boy happened to turn around, and Ma Xiaoyuan saw the little boy's appearance clearly, "Xiaofei"? Who could this little boy be?
Ma Xiaoyuan was about to expand the scope of his memory, and at this time, there was an unbearable stinging pain in his head, which made Ma Xiaoyuan unable to continue recalling.
With this memory fragment, Ma Xiaoyuan did not tell his parents, since his parents did not mention it, there must be their reasons, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ma Xiaoyuan does not want to sweep the interest of the whole family.
I have to say that today's father and mother are also in a very good mood, and their weathered faces also showed a long-lost smile, they hope that Ma Xiaoyuan will continue to live like this in the future, although it cannot be said to be completely carefree, but it can be regarded as a normal life.
However, can things really be as the father and mother think? Can Ma Xiaoyuan really stay on the construction site with peace of mind and continue to work?
The answer is no, in the past year, in addition to handing over 10,000 yuan to his parents every month, Ma Xiaoyuan has also accumulated tens of thousands of yuan, and he has already thought about what he will do next.
There is a small store on the side of the construction site, the store is not big, but the business is very prosperous, in addition to selling "beer, drinks, mineral water, melon seeds, peanuts and eight treasure porridge", the store also sells cold drinks and popsicles.
Of course, the sale of cigarettes and liquor is the biggest source of income, especially during the New Year's holidays, some construction workers do not go home, need to send some New Year's goods to their families, and entrust the commissary to help purchase the goods, the profit is not high, because the quantity is large.
Ma Xiaoyuan gets along well with the owner of the commissary, because he is a small leader on the construction site, and the various things he buys are far more than ordinary construction workers.
After coming and going, Ma Xiaoyuan learned that the owner of the commissary had an income of more than 20,000 yuan a month, which was the sum of the income of their family of three.
Ma Xiaoyuan discussed with the owner of the commissary, and he also planned to open a commissary, and asked the owner of the commissary to help, and he also set up a commissary in other areas.
Unexpectedly, the commissary boss agreed to it, and Ma Xiaoyuan agreed with the commissary boss to start after the Spring Festival.
