this day.

Yang Yu and Li Fugui walked out of SEG Science and Technology Park with their heads shrunk as usual.

Anyone who spends the night in an Internet café in winter knows that going out in the morning is the most painful thing, not only cold and hungry, but also sleepy.

Although the air conditioner was always on in the company, and the two had prepared a large amount of instant noodles and packaged food in advance, when they came out of the company, they still underestimated the cold weather.

The cold wind was howling, and the faces of the people who were blowing hurt very much.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the quiet streets of the early morning can only occasionally hear the roar of cars.

Even the early vendors who occupied the stalls at the major market entrances early in the past are now gone.

The Chinese people are the most hard-working and pain-tolerant people in the world, and they can work hard all year round, just for a few taels of silver.

But at the end of the year, few people choose to set up stalls to do business.

On the one hand, everyone is busy preparing for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

On the other hand, it was also to reward myself for a year of hard work, and I chose to rest peacefully on this day.

Walking on the way back to the dormitory, Li Fugui shrank his head, wrapped the padded jacket on his body tightly and said: "Lao Yang, it will almost be done tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, what are you going to do when the time comes?" ”

Since Yang Yu has repeatedly objected to Li Fugui calling him the nickname wool when he was studying, he has also given himself a name "Lao Yang" that has often been called many years later.

"I already told the private server administrator yesterday that he would come to Shenzhen in person the day after tomorrow."

Yang Yu sucked the snot that was about to run down, and also sighed that the winter in Shenzhen this year is really cold, and it feels much colder than the Shenzhen in the next 20 years in his memory.

"Come over the day after tomorrow? He's not old? "Tonight's New Year's Day, it's only the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the other party is in such a hurry?

"Didn't you go back for the New Year?"

Yang Yu shook his head, he is not a child again, he looks forward to the Chinese New Year's Eve and winter vacation at the end of the year all year round, as long as there are interests in the adult world, who cares about the New Year.

"Isn't that a chance for me? If I had made money, I would have gone back a long time ago, and now I still owe a lot of foreign debts at home, so I have so much money on me, what can I do if I go back? Round-trip train tickets cost a lot of money. ”

After speaking, Li Fugui sniffed his nose, felt itchy, and stretched out his right hand, pinching his nose with his thumb and index finger.

Just heard the sound of "stinging", and a white and sticky mass appeared on his hand.

Then I saw him throw it on the ground and wipe his hand on the padded jacket on his body.

Yang Yu, who was on the side, saw this scene and was immediately disgusted: "I said that if you blow your nose, blow your nose, don't make it so disgusting, okay?!" ”

"What's going on?"

Li Fugui said nonchalantly: "I didn't wipe it on you when I blew my nose." ”

"Okay, okay, stay away from me."

Yang Yu took a step to the side in disgust, and then noticed that there was a small store across the road with its door open.

Thinking about today's New Year, although I have to go back to the company on duty at night, I have to get a rich meal to treat my stomach, and it is easy to get stomach problems when I always eat instant noodles every night.

"Let's go. Go to the commissary to buy something and in the evening we cook hot pot to eat. ”

"Boiling hot pot? Cook it in the company? ”

"Hmm."

"Okay, I just happened to eat instant noodles these past nights, and I'm about to vomit."

The two entered the commissary one after the other.

I bought some ham sausages, noodles, soy sauce, chili peppers or something, and I also carried a big bag full of them, ready to take them back to the dormitory and keep them for eating after returning to the company in the evening.

Just as the two of them were about to leave the commissary, "Eh, Lao Yang, there is a telephone here, why don't you call back?" ”

Yang Yu thought for a while and looked up at the boss: "Can you make domestic long-distance calls on this phone?" ”

"Yes, a dollar a minute."

"Okay, I'll hit one."

A dollar a minute, it's a little more expensive.

But for the Chinese New Year, I still have to make a phone call to go back to my hometown to greet my parents, and by the way, I also listen to the voices of my parents, who are still young at this time.

For his parents, Yang Yu is always indebted.

Even if he earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year many years later, he can be regarded as a company leader who is not big or small, but in his previous life, he was busy making money and neglected his parents in his hometown.

As a result, in 2021, my father got up and fell down by chance because of perennial fatigue, and he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed.

When Yang Yu rushed back to his hometown, he found his father's emaciated figure and shriveled skin, which made him suddenly realize that his father, who had been farming all his life, was really old. The old one is sad and sad.

"Doodoo-"

When the bell rang, it took about a dozen seconds for the phone to be connected.

"Hey, this is the Baiyun Village Village Committee, who are you looking for?"

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Yang Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Cousin, it's me, Yang Yu." ”

The hometown is very poor, and only the village committee has installed a telephone, or the town has specially let the telephone bureau take care of it in order to effectively improve the contact with the surrounding villages.

After that, this phone call also became the only channel for many migrant workers in Baiyun Village to contact their relatives in their hometown.

"Yang Pleiadin? Are you reluctant to call back? I went to Shenzhen for more than half a year, that is, when I first arrived, I made a phone call and came back to keep safe. How long has it been before you are willing to call back? ”

"It's not that long-distance calls are too expensive, but they cost a dollar a minute."

"Okay, cousin, let's not talk about this for now, you hurry up and notify my parents and ask them to come over to answer the phone, and I'll call back in ten minutes."

"So expensive? Then hang up quickly. ”

The cousin on the other end of the phone was so expensive when he heard that the call fee was so expensive, so he hung up without saying a word.

There was a blind voice on the phone, which made Yang Yu shake his head with tears and laughter, and after putting down the microphone, he asked the boss to calculate the time of the call, so that they could settle the account together later.

Then Li Fugui also made a phone call to go back.

It's just that there is no phone in his hometown village, so he can only call a cousin in the county seat, and ask the cousin to take the time to report to Li Fugui's parents when he returns to his hometown for the New Year in the next few days.

Because he is a cousin, the relationship is not very close, and after a few simple greetings, Li Fugui hung up the phone.

After calculating the time, it was almost ten minutes before Yang Yu returned to his hometown.

As soon as I called this time, someone immediately connected.

"It's... Is it the Pleiades? ”

"Mom! It's me! ”

Yang Yu, who thinks that his mental age is very mature, still couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this familiar milk name.

"Pleiades, how are you doing in Shenzhen?"

"It's good, it's not bad to work in the company."

"I heard your cousin say, this long-distance call is expensive, don't call back next time it's okay, you save more money, and you can get married and marry your daughter-in-law when the time comes......"

Seeing that his mother stubbornly used marriage to marry her daughter-in-law, interrupting her homesickness that had been brewing so hard, Yang Yu couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Sure enough, it's my own mother!

It seems that he can escape 996 in his life, but he can't escape the urging of his parents to marry.
