Chapter 11: My Father's Visit

In his previous life, his father also died early.

After the death of his wife and daughter, the father also died of depression because he was worried about himself.

This matter has become the third ununcovering pain in Chen Mo's heart.

Now that I see my father again, I immediately have something to say in my heart, but I finally swallow it back.

Chen Dashan glanced at Chen Mo from the corner of his eye, and still sighed.

He immediately opened his mouth and pointed to the money on the table: "This is ten yuan, your eldest brother gave it to you." ”

"This money?"

Chen Mo was slightly stunned.

"The day before yesterday, Ruixue came to our house and said that Xixi was sick, and the family had no money at that time, so I went to the city yesterday to find your eldest brother to borrow it."

Chen Dashan replied.

Looking at Chen Dashan's appearance, he knew that he should have just arrived, and the snow on the soles of his shoes had not yet melted.

So Tang Ruixue didn't have time to explain, now they are not short of money.

Xixi's illness itself is a common cold, and after a night's sleep, it is almost fine, and there is no need for any money.

However, when he heard his father say that he went to the city to find his eldest brother, he felt sour again.

The house is located in the city, and it takes a day to walk back and forth.

Looking at Chen Dashan's dusty appearance, he should have just gotten the money and went straight over.

"No need, now I can make my own money, you can keep this money."

"I still have fifty yuan here, I've been busy for the past two days, and I'm going to take time to buy something for you when I'm done."

Chen Mo pushed back the ten yuan and took out another fifty yuan from his bag.

Chen Dashan looked at the fifty yuan on the table and was slightly stunned.

But his face immediately became serious again: "Xiao Mo, you can't do stupid things." ”

Chen Dashan wanted Tang Ruixue to borrow ten yuan two days ago, but today Chen Mo took out fifty yuan, which was obviously wrong.

Chen Mo couldn't have earned fifty in two days, right?

"Dad, I've really figured it out, this is indeed what I earned in the past two days."

Chen Mo smiled helplessly, this is not the first time this kind of thing has been encountered.

It's all because I was so confused at the beginning, so that no one believes that I make money now, and this social reputation is really low enough.

"Earned in the past two days?"

Chen Dashan, who was half-lying on the kang, heard this, and straightened up: "Even if you are a county magistrate, it is only a hundred yuan a month, and you can earn fifty in two days?" ”

"Didn't I do a little business?"

Chen Mo scratched his head and said the truth.

"Aren't you speculating?"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Dashan patted his thigh and shouted.

A few years ago, Chen Mo was arrested for selling dates on the street in order to buy a sewing machine, and he is now haunted by it.

Many people in the village knew that he had entered the fence, and they all poked and laughed at him behind his back.

Now a few years have passed, and some people have made fun of him about this from time to time.

So as soon as he heard Chen Mo say "doing business", he immediately became vigilant in his heart.

"Dad, it's different now than the previous two years, the official said that the market has been liberalized, and this is an opportunity."

When Chen Mo heard this, he hurriedly explained.

"No, you're going to find me an honest job anyway."

"Even if it's twenty or thirty a month to get a job, it's better than arresting you and going to jail in the future."

Chen Dashan waved his hand and said firmly.

"Dad, this is the money I earned in the past two days."

Chen Mo saw that persuasion was fruitless, so he put all the more than 300 yuan on the table.

The fifty yuan made Chen Dashan so frightened that Chen Mo hurriedly stopped doing it, and when he saw the three hundred yuan, his face changed even more.

Hurriedly said: "Put it away, put it away." ”

The three hundred yuan he earned in the past two days was much more than what they had sold in a year's harvest, which naturally scared him.

Chen Mo received all the money in his pocket, and only the stack of fifty gross tickets remained.

"You take the money, I don't care if you use it."

"When I'm done with things, I'll go back to see you and Mom."

Chen Mo pushed fifty yuan in front of Chen Dashan and said firmly.

Chen Dashan took a hard puff of dry tobacco, and slowly spit out a puff of cigarette, and his mind gradually calmed down.

After a few seconds, Chen Dashan spoke again: "If you earn enough, you can live a good life." ”

Although Chen Dashan is worried that his son will be arrested for speculation, it is stronger than gambling every day and ignoring his wife and children.

"Don't worry, Dad, I know all these things in my heart, if there is really something, I will quit immediately."

Chen Mo could only follow Chen Dashan's words.

It is impossible for him to talk to Chen Dashan about the fact that the course of history cannot be changed, and this reform is imperative.

Chen Dashan didn't understand it, let alone believe it.

He knew that his father's character was a smooth donkey, as long as he followed the hair.

Chen Dashan nodded when he heard this, as if his father's authority had been verified again.

"Dad, you smoke this, what age do you still smoke dry tobacco."

Chen Mo took out a bag of red mountains from his arms and handed it to Chen Dashan's arms.

Looking at this bag of red mountains, Chen Dashan's eyes lit up.

He had only seen this red mountain at the village chief's wedding banquet, and he had received one from the banquet at that time.

Seeing Chen Mo hand it over, he didn't shirk it and received it in his arms.

"Okay, my son is filial, then I'll take it."

"By the way, don't leak out your money, don't leak your money."

Chen Dashan stood up as he spoke, ready to go home.

The old house of the Chen family is still in the village of the mountain pass, and a few years ago because Chen Mo was going to get married.

It happened that a close relative of a lonely man died, and he moved to a house next to the county.

There are still more than ten miles to go back to the village from here.

"I'll send you."

Chen Mo stood up and wanted to send his father away, but he was dismissed.

"You're going to earn money tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Chen Dashan looked at his son and felt a little relieved in his heart.

He had come with a stomach full of sorrow, thinking that his son would be the same as before, idling all day long and not doing good deeds.

Every time he saw this unsuccessful son, he was angry and annoyed.

But this time, he suddenly found that his son seemed to have changed.

Just when she entered the door, Tang Ruixue said a lot of good things about Chen Mo through sign language.

At first, he didn't believe it, thinking that his daughter-in-law was coaxing himself to make himself feel at ease.

Now it seems that he is really different.

Knowing that his father hadn't eaten yet, Chen Mo handed his share of meat and egg dumplings to his father and asked him to go back and eat them hot.

After some shirk, my father took the dumplings and said that he wanted to go home and eat them with his mother.

Looking at the old father's slightly rickety back, the tears in Chen Mo's eyes finally rolled down.

But soon he was back to normal.

Now that God has given him the opportunity to make up for this regret, he naturally does not need to continue to be sad.

He worked hard in this life so that his family could live a happy and happy life, and he was satisfied.
