Chapter 49: Pity the hearts of the world's parents
Walking on the campus path, on the small path next to the canteen, the dim street lights emit lights, and a little bug was flying tirelessly on the lights. The light was relatively weak and the surroundings were still a little dark.
Liu Meng took out his cell phone and called his home. He usually called his home once a week. Today, he got the money and was very happy, so he wanted to share it with his parents.
I quickly answered the phone, and my mother answered it. I first asked Liu Meng if it was very cold in the Northeast. I must pay attention to wearing more clothes, put on the down jacket I bought at home quickly, eat enough to eat, and don’t save you hunger.
My son is worried about his mother, and this is how mothers are. Liu Meng listened patiently when he listened to her mother's nagging, and from time to time, he felt warm and said happily: "Mom, the Northeast is not cold at all. Now the school is starting to heat. Today, I still wear long-sleeved clothes during the day, but it is not much different from home."
"You are just showing off your energy. You still say it's not cold after heating. Your dad and I have been looking at the weather forecast in Bingcheng. It said that the lowest temperature every day is almost below zero. After a while, you can get minus 30 degrees Celsius. When you pee outside, your little penis will freeze, but you must pay attention to keeping warm." The mother still explained in a nagging manner.
When Liu Meng faced his mother's special explanation, he had to nod his head repeatedly, which was very embarrassing.
The father on the side hurriedly reminded his mother and said he would hang up quickly. It was almost five minutes, so long-distance calls were so expensive.
My mother said yes and quickly explained a few more words, repeatedly telling me not to pee outside. Liu Meng had to agree repeatedly, and her mother was about to hang up the phone. Liu Meng quickly said, "No hurry, I'm so anxious every time. I have a new package. The long-distance phone number is only 1 cent for one minute, which is cheaper than the home's local call."
"If you can do this, don't be deceived?" My mother is an honest countryman. She hasn't left Sishui City for decades. When she heard from the villagers who went out to work, she said that there were so many scammers outside. She quickly told Liu Meng that she would not be deceived after coming here.
A 17-year-old child ran so far all of a sudden, and parents were always worried at home.
Look at you being nagged and unable to tell the topic. My father complained and snatched the phone and said quickly: "Xiaomeng, everything is mainly about studying in school. Don't be reluctant to spend money. If you need to study, spend money where you should spend, and don't waste what you shouldn't spend. Strive to achieve good results. It's rare for the Murakami to be a college student. Everyone is watching. I hope you can do some career and do some good things for the elders of your hometown. Do you understand?"
Liu Meng felt a little heavy and moved. This is his parents who raised his parents with great difficulty. Before, he had been studying from college to doctoral degree. No matter how hard or tired his parents were, they were very supportive of his continued studies.
Before, although Liu Meng had already been self-reliant in his postgraduate study, he no longer asked his family for money. He earned some money except for his own living expenses, and used it to buy instruments and equipment to build a personal laboratory. He had never given his parents a little filial piety and had bought any gifts.
Thinking of this, my nose felt sore and tears rolled in my eyes. This is my parents. I never thought of a single reward. I kept working hard. I could only earn 5,000 yuan in a few acres of land in my family, crops two seasons a year, and good weather. If I encounter floods and droughts, I will only earn 3,000 yuan in a year. It is such a family that has supported three children and I have studied for a doctorate all the way. It is conceivable that I have worked hard.
But his parents never complained about hard work in front of him. Every time they returned home, they always thought of ways to make delicious food for him and add some nutrition. They didn't want him to do anything. They quickly prepared to kill chickens, buy meat, and make dumplings.
How to repay your parents’ kindness!
Liu Meng thought about the 23,000 yuan he earned in the first place and first gave his parents 10,000 yuan so that they would not be so frugal.
Thinking of this, Liu Meng had to interrupt his father's instructions and said happily: "Dad, I study hard in school and I will definitely get a scholarship. I have 2,000 yuan per semester. I can earn living expenses myself. In addition, didn't I write novels during the summer vacation? I uploaded them to the Internet. Many people read them, and then the website gave 30,000 yuan to buy them out. I will send 10,000 yuan to my home tomorrow."
"Ah?! Just writing those things can be worth so much money. Mengzi, have you done something bad? I tell you that in school, you are just a student, and studying hard is your main business. You don't have to consider other things, don't be distracted, you don't have enough money, tell your family."
The father suddenly heard that his son had earned 30,000 yuan, which was really hard to believe. This was equivalent to the income they had worked hard at home for six years, which was counted as a huge sum of money.
"What are you doing? My son is promising, and you are still unhappy. You can wait and enjoy the happiness in the future." Liu Meng continued.
"My son has made money, why don't you believe it? Mengzi has been honest since he was a child and never lie. This is a good thing." The mother also kept listening and said angrily, and she was very unresolved in her father's doubts.
Mothers are always more likely to trust their children unconditionally.
"Really, I'm so brave, you must not do those things that steal and rob. We can't make a living by relying on our real ability, and we can't be cheating." The father still felt a little unbelievable. His son had only been in school for two months and had made so much money.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely make money with my hands and brains. Every penny is what I deserve." Liu Meng replied firmly.
"That's good, that's good. It's really your grandfather's blessing in heaven. I have to burn some paper money later. Your grandfather will definitely be very happy to know that you have a future." My father's dark face showed a happy smile, which was more happy than eating any delicacies.
"Mengzi, keep the money you earn by yourself. You will settle down in a big city in the future. Your father and I can't help you much. You have to rely on yourself to marry a wife in the future. I watch TV. It's precious to marry a wife in the city now. Your father and I don't need to send money at home."
My mother took the phone and told me, "It's better to focus on learning. This is the right way. Don't work too hard for other part-time jobs, pay more attention to your health."
It took nearly an hour to hang up the phone. Liu Meng looked at the stars in the sky. The sky was particularly clear tonight. Even the moon emitted bright light, sprinkled on the windowsill.
I couldn't help but think of Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts". The bright moonlight in front of the window was suspected to be frost on the ground. I looked up at the bright moon and thought of my hometown.
He let out a deep breath and murmured firmly at the stars in the sky, Liu Meng murmured to himself, "Father, mother, I will definitely let you live a good life, and I will definitely let you be proud of me."
The midterm exam is coming soon, and Liu Meng made a decision to win a particularly outstanding score, unprecedented score, and become famous in one battle.
My father hung up the phone, hurriedly pulled some grass stems, went to the shop to buy paper money, and went to the grave. After he came back, he squatted at the intersection at the village entrance, smoking old dry tobacco, smiling. He was really happier than eating dumplings in the year of famine. People who passed by greeted him, "Liu Ying's father, why did he squat here and smoke? Look at you laughing, what good things happened to your family."
Liu Meng's sister is named Liu Ying, and she is the eldest in the family. The rural areas in central China are used to this term.
My father knocked on the dry tobacco pole and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng's child is promising. He made 30,000 yuan in just two months after he arrived at school. It's been a success for us farmers in six or seven years. If you want to say that studying is promising."
The visitor smiled and said, "Oh, you just wait and enjoy your happiness. If you drive Ming Xiaomeng to a great future, you must let him repair the road from our village to the town. Once it rains, you can't walk, and there is mud everywhere."
The father replied firmly: "That's sure, if that little bastard doesn't do anything real to the villagers, I will be the first to not agree."
The person who came to give a few compliments and left.
After a while, another person passed by. Village chief Liu Yonggui walked over leisurely, smoking a high-end filter. Seeing his father squatting there, his face was a little gloomy, he said, "Yunsheng, I'm sitting and smoking your old dry tobacco at night. Come on, I have a good cigarette, I'll give you a soak, and you can't smoke it on weekdays."
As he said that, Liu Yonggui took out a cigarette and handed it over. His father Liu Yunsheng smoked two droughts of dry cigarettes, waved his hand, and put away the smile on his face, "No, I'm not used to smoking this high-end product, so I'd better keep it for you. What kind of cigarette I want to smoke, say it, our grandma will buy it for me."
"Why, it's so awesome for a college student at home. Yunsheng, let me tell you that college students are everywhere now, and you can't find a job after graduation. It's just that I've found a job, which is only about 3,000 yuan a month. Our Daniu company has recruited several college students this year and there is also a famous brand. Not to mention, your Liu Meng is still a poor student now. In your family's situation, I'm afraid I can't pay the tuition fee. I'm buying cigarettes for you. You can't brag too much and make your tongue shining." Liu Yonggui fully utilized the village chief's level of speech.
When it comes to the village, Liu Yonggui is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is about the same age as his father Liu Yunsheng. They have been dissatisfied with each other since they were young, and neither of them has been convinced.
When Liu Yunsheng was young, he was hardworking and willing to work hard, but his family was too poor and could not study. Later, he joined the army and made some achievements in the army. However, he was not lucky and happened to be laying off employees in the army. He was laid back to his hometown without much education.
This also strengthened my father's belief that he always wanted to cultivate a college student and suffered a great loss of no education throughout his life.
After returning home, the old village chief in the village just happened to be retired. His father was responsible for the village affairs with Liu Yonggui at that time. Liu Yonggui was a very active person and could flatter and flatter. He always used the village money to eat and drink. His father was very blamed. In the end, he joined forces with other cadres in the village to be isolated. His father resigned in anger.
"Hmph, my Mengzi is not an ordinary college student. He earned 30,000 yuan in just two months after he arrived at school. He said he wanted to send me money, but I refused to let me go. I don't have to worry about food and drink, so what's the use of that money?" Liu Yunsheng argued with his eyes wide open, and the blue veins on his forehead were very obvious.
"Hehe, I won't argue with you. Let's ride a donkey and read the songbook. Let's take a look. My son Daniu's company's turnover this year has reached 10 million. Yesterday, I told him to repair the road in Murakami. Unexpectedly, this kid agreed immediately, saying that he would use my name to name the road. You said that this child is so filial and immortal. You have to be careful when walking on the road and don't go bad." As he said that, Liu Yonggui laughed and walked over.
Liu Yunsheng glanced at his mouth and said disdainfully: "Blow it, just like a big bull, it's 10 million yuan. He's empty-handed and currying the mayor's job."
My father squatted until the moon was tilted westward before heading home. His stomach was so hungry that he was rumbled, and he didn't feel it at all, and he was still smoking a dry tobacco happily.
The night in the countryside is quiet and noisy. The sparse farmers turn off the lights and go to bed early. There is no one around. The remaining lights emit a dark light. Most of the villages are surrounded by farmland, with insects and birds singing, melodious and beautiful, and there is a unique scene.
The next day, although his parents repeatedly asked him about it, Liu Meng still remitted 10,000 yuan to his family.
After taking some time, he bought a gift for Cheng Fei and Min Ran and sent it to him to thank the two sisters for buying him clothes. After doing these, Liu Meng felt very satisfied.
Although money is not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible to have no money. Since money can bring happiness to family and friends, it is very meaningful to have hard work.
Full of unprecedented motivation, I earned 30,000 yuan, but is it still far away? Liu Meng believes that it is definitely not far away.
