On the way out of the hospital, Ye Jianguo walked in front with a small bag and didn't say a word to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen felt that his joke must have been overdone just now, which made his father angry.

Just as he was about to say something nice and coax, he saw his father squatting on the side of the road and stopping a carriage pulling hay in his unique way of greeting.

Ye Chen, who was shocked by his father's operation, sat in the back of the car with his luggage sluggishly.

Leaning on the haystack, Ye Jianguo found a comfortable posture and smiled at Ye Chen: "Haven't you been in a carriage for too long?" ”

"It wasn't for long. When I came to the hospital that day, Uncle Jiefang looked for a board car to pull for us. ”

took out the cigarettes that Ye Chen gave him, Ye Jianguo handed one to the villagers who were driving the car, and lit one himself, "Your Uncle Jiefang is a capable person in our village, and he can explain anything big or small." ”

"I see. His personality is similar to yours, the first to rush when something happens, to put it bluntly, he is reckless in doing things. ”

"Stinky boy, you've analyzed it quite thoroughly. That's how our generation is, living for others all their lives, thinking about ourselves very little. ”

Ye Chen looked at his father distressedly.

In different eras, whether it is cultural edification or the earnest teachings of the ancestors, they have deeply influenced the generation of their parents.

In order to be fed and clothed, they changed their fate of facing the loess and facing the sky, and did not hesitate to bet their lives.

I hope that future generations will be able to get out of the mountains and break out of the world to achieve their unfinished dreams.

It seems like an ordinary vision, but it is about to take the fruits of the struggle of several generations.

"Then you can think about your later life now."

Ye Jianguo smiled: "I think about it now, can my wish come true?" ”

"As long as you dare to think, your son will dare to achieve it. What do you think! ”

"Okay. Then you will make our village rich first, and then build a small western-style house for me and your mother. Let me feed the chickens and ducks and herd the sheep every day......"

Ye Chen sneered.

When passing the entrance of the village on the way, the father and son got out of the carriage and hiked.

Halfway through the road, Ye Chen recognized at a glance the gifts he had brought back from the Demon Capital, which were neatly placed on the stone pier on the side of the road.

I went forward to inspect and found that there was no shortage of gifts.

Just as I was about to sigh, I saw the uncle I met halfway on the day of the mining accident.

"The next life, it can be regarded as waiting for you. Are you missing any of these things? ”

Ye Chen smiled at the visitor, "It's all the same, thank you uncle." ”

Ye Jianguo handed over the cigarette and said, "Old Zhou, this is my son Xiaochen." Just came back from abroad and ate a cigarette. Brand goods, can't be bought in the village. ”

Seeing the good smoke, Lao Zhoutou laughed and said: "It turned out to be the eldest nephew!" I said how it changed, I almost didn't recognize it. ”

"Isn't it? When Xiaochen came to save me that day, I didn't recognize it. This stinky boy has been abroad for a while, and the whole person is different from before. ”

Lao Zhou smoked a cigarette and promised again and again, "That's that." ”

Listening to his father's immersive show-off, Ye Chen turned his head and waited aside with his things.

"I won't tell you yet, I have time to sit at home."

"Definitely, definitely."

After Ye Jianguo and Lao Zhou finished greeting, they walked towards home with big steps.

Approaching the door, Ye Chen stopped.

According to the rules and etiquette of the clan, he put down the things he was carrying, knelt on the ground and bowed his head and shouted, "I'm back." ”

Ye Jianguo, who was about to walk into the house, turned his head busily, and Lu Chunfang, who was in the kitchen, walked out holding a spatula when he heard the sound.

"Dad, why are you still stunned?"

Ye Jianguo hurriedly trotted to the door again, "Good boy, take a trip abroad, I haven't forgotten this ancestral family rule." ”

"No matter what time it is, Zu Xun doesn't dare to forget. Let's get inside, Daddy. ”

"Ugh."

Welcoming Ye Chen into the courtyard, Ye Jianguo's heart was filled with ripples.

Looking at the scene of the four walls of the house, he opened the door with a sigh.

When I came to the big house, a small round table was placed on the earthen kang, and several hot meals overflowed with fragrance.

Taking off his coat, Ye Chen wanted to help in the kitchen.

But her mother Lu Chunfang was not allowed, so she was pushed back into the house.

The last dish was served, and the family sat cross-legged on the kang neatly.

Ye Jianguo was holding the foreign wine that Ye Chen gave him in his hand, and he couldn't understand the foreign code on it, a serious joke.

"The ABCs up there know me, and I don't know them. Son, do you think that after I drink this wine, I will be able to speak the language of birds? ”

Lu Chunfang, who was holding the side dishes, sneered: "You haven't drunk it yet, and you've started talking nonsense." ”

Ye Chen accompanied the smiling face, took the wine bottle and unscrewed it to pour wine for his father.

Facing the side dishes on the table, although they were all home-cooked stir-fries, Ye Chen felt that his mother had put a lot of effort into the meals on this table.

I also understand why my father was clamoring to be discharged from the hospital before noon.

It must have been calculated in advance by the old couple, otherwise the plan would not have been implemented so carefully.

Drinking hot porridge and munching on wild vegetables.

Ye Chen held back his tears and finished the meal with a smile.

After the meal, Ye Chen took out the gifts one by one.

Seeing this, Lu Chunfang blamed: "You kid, you spend money indiscriminately when you come back." ”

The mother blamed her mouth, but there was joy in her eyebrows and eyes.

Under Ye Chen's urging, he put on new clothes, put on jewelry, looked in the small mirror, and smiled from ear to ear.

On the other hand, after his father put on a leather shirt and pants, his temperament was almost meaningless.

But wearing Ye Chen's toad glasses, this style can definitely crush the old men in the village.

The short laughter made the late autumn afternoon less dead and silent.

After the joy, Lu Chunfang reluctantly took off her jewelry and folded her new clothes.

"Son, your father and mother have received it. It's just that these things are too expensive and not practical in the countryside. It's better to take it to the town and sell it for some money and come back, and get through the current difficulties first. ”

As she spoke, Lu Chunfang opened the big wooden box in the corner of the earthen kang, and took out a small cloth bag embroidered with lotus flowers from under the clothes at the bottom of the box and handed it to Ye Chen.

"This money is all our family's belongings, you take it and go with your father to pay off the debts that can be repaid."

Taking the small cloth bag, Ye Chen opened it and counted the gross tickets inside, a total of three five cents and two cents.

Instant tears.

He didn't expect that his parents would save money and eat bran in order to study abroad for themselves, and empty everything in the family.

And he was successful in his studies in the United States, but he didn't want to return to China, and he enjoyed a petty bourgeois life.

I'm such a bastard!

In this life, since he is back, he will shoulder the responsibility of being a son.

Ye Jianguo heard the conversation between his wife and son, and directly put the envelope containing money on the round table.

"Our son is out of the picture, old woman, don't be so frugal in picking and searching."

Ye Chen also took out a few stacks of cash from his bag, a full 30,000 yuan, which directly shocked the old couple.

"It's ......"

"There's 30,000 dollars here. I want to add something to my home, or do something for a small business. This daddy is in charge. As for the money in the envelope, it should be enough to pay off the debts that my father remembered in his notebook. ”

Lu Chunfang looked at the pile of cash, sat on the kang and counted them one by one.

It felt like a dream as I counted it.

Ye Jianguo was worried that the money was coming from the wrong way, so he asked cautiously: "Son, you won't go to rob the bank when you go out in the morning, right?" ”
