Chapter 5 Parents Come to Shanghai
5.1
I went to work after the holiday, but I received a notice from Party A of the project, saying that it was because of some special reasons in my unit, and the report and commissioning were postponed to the first week after the "Eleventh".
At this time, there are less than two weeks, and it is "eleven".
Just when Wang Youjie hesitated to call his parents and ask if he wanted to go back to his hometown, his mother's phone came first.
His mother told him that she and his father were planning to come to Shanghai during the National Day. The meaning of coming is very simple and clear, it is still about Wang Youjie's personal events.
When his parents came to Shanghai, Wang Youjie didn't feel any surprises. But what is very rare is that unlike the last time when my mother came to Shanghai alone, my father will come to Shanghai this time. And the mother specially explained that the main reason for this trip was that the father wanted to see him, saying that he wanted to talk to him in person.
This is unusual.
You must know that in Wang Youjie's impression, his father rarely has the habit of going out of his hometown. He always said that he was not used to the noisy environment outside, and would rather squat in the school in his hometown in the mountains for the rest of his life to teach quietly.
At half past one in the afternoon of the first day, Wang Youjie and his aunt picked up their parents from the station and took them to their dormitory. My aunt has a car, so it's easier to pick up and drop off.
There were people in the dormitory who went back to their hometown, and they just made up a vacant room. With the consent of his roommates, Wang Youjie borrowed it as a temporary place for his parents to live this time, and he also deliberately sorted it out.
In fact, this idea was also proposed by Wang Youjie's mother.
Mother's statement, although Wang Youjie's current income, in the eyes of the old family, is not bad. But because of his age, he will buy a house in the city, marry a daughter-in-law, and raise children,-----, which one will not be the big one in the future? Therefore, as long as it is a place that can save money, it is still necessary to save as much as possible.
However, eating can only be solved outside.
Because there are no basic conditions for being able to get together in the dormitory, there are no pots and pans. You can't buy all these cooking guys just because the family has to eat these days!
On the way back, I had lunch at a restaurant outside.
Back in the dormitory, the roommates all went out. The three-bedroom house is also spacious and spacious.
Mother couldn't stay idle, so she first rearranged the room inside and out.
Wang Youjie re-washed his father's large glass tea jar, put in tea leaves, and added boiling water. This is my father's habit for many years: every day he has to drink one or two large vats of tea made from his own home-made tea leaves.
After doing this, the four of them sat down to chat.
Let's talk about some hometown things first.
In fact, the situation in my hometown is not much the same as before, and the biggest change is that a few years ago, the mountain rocks in the village were not allowed to be mined.
However, in this way, although the income of the villagers has decreased a lot, the overall environment of the village has gradually improved year by year, the mountains are greener, and the water is clearer.
Wang Youjie has rarely returned to his hometown in recent years, even if he has gone back a few times, he has come and gone in a hurry, and he has stayed at home for a short time, so he is not very aware of these changes in his hometown.
Then, naturally, the topic shifted to the purpose of the parents' visit. Mother said very clearly, that is, how to find a way to solve Wang Youjie's lifelong affairs.
"You know what? You're thirty now, you know? Mother laughed.
"Where is thirty, if you count it according to the imaginary age of the people in the city, it is thirty-two years old." The father was smoking a cigarette and interjected.
My aunt drank tea and didn't speak.
Mother looked at Wang Youjie and said, "I won't tell you more about the truth." Our next-door neighbor Xiao Song, he is three years younger than you, and his child already knows how to make soy sauce, do you know how to make soy sauce? ”
Wang Youjie got up and refilled the teacups of his father and aunt.
"You know, you're your age, and when do you want us to wait?"
The mother spoke quickly, and then said: "Besides, the primary school in our village, there are very few children coming to school now, and whether it can be done next year is still a matter of two words." If you can't do it, you have to go to the central primary school in the town, which is far away. ”
My aunt sighed and said, "It's a pity." Our Xiaochenguang, plus the nearby villages, still has a lot of students. ”
"yes, how lively was it then?!" Mother sighed and continued, "In other words, it's very likely that your dad will be retiring next year." ”
Wang Youjie smiled and said, "What does my father have to do with me when he retires?" ”
"How can it not matter?" The mother stared at Wang Youjie and said, "In the future, we will all stay at home, what do you want us to do?" ”
Wang Youzhu thought for a while and defended: "I'm looking for a partner, retiring with you, and if I have anything to do with you, are they two different things, I can't stand it at all?" ”
"You don't have to fight with me. This time, we came prepared. ”
The mother smiled at her aunt, turned her head to look at Wang Youjie again, and said, "Two opinions, one is that you can find it yourself in Shanghai, and the other is that we will introduce you to your hometown." The choice is yours. ”
"Mom'-----?"
