When I woke up the next day, there was no human voice in the room. The long-term nine-to-four life had already changed Chen Yuanming's biological clock, and he could no longer get out of bed at 6 in the morning. But I didn't expect that I could sleep so deeply, I didn't even hear the sound of my parents leaving from work.
The table was still in the middle of the room, with a few dishes on it, and a note saying that both of them had gone to work. A short sentence was written crookedly, and there were two typos. Chen Yuanming smiled, put down the note, and opened the door.
In January, the north can be completely different from Zhuhai and Shanghai, and it is cold and windy. Chilled by the cold wind, Chen Yuanming shuddered, picked up the towel and toothbrush and walked towards the public pool. It was past the morning rush hour, the corridor was empty, and the smell of early morning cooking smoke was also gone, leaving only the inexplicable and stale smell of the old dormitory. The water in the faucet was still freezing and his fingers were numb, but it was refreshing enough. After Fei finished washing, Chen Yuanming straightened up and was about to go home when a figure appeared in front of him.
"Doudou? It's really Doudou!" The old lady with her hair combed and wearing a floral brown padded jacket let out a sigh of admiration, "When will you be back? Your mother told us it's been two weeks!"
"Grandma Wang, I just got home last night, and I haven't been in a hurry to say hello to everyone..." Chen Yuanming replied with a smile.
Aunt Wang lives in the first house on the west end of the corridor, next to the public pool. She is an old resident. She lives with her son and daughter-in-law all the year round. This floor is his house. But apart from a bit of a broken mouth, people are not bad. The relationship between neighbors is not like later generations. No one knows each other when the security door is closed. On the contrary, they are all workers in factories and mines. Half of the food, drinks, and lasagna are public. There is no entertainment at night. . In this overly close relationship between neighbors, it is easier for everyone to know the big things and small things of each family.
"It's good to come back! It's good to come back!" Aunt Wang repeatedly praised, "That's right, at such a young age, how can you go out to work. You don't know how difficult it was for your mother at the beginning, and the school came to find two people. This time, no one can afford to raise children, and they won't let them finish junior high school. How many people have stabbed their backs in the back, and your mother couldn't hold her head up in the hospital for a few months. Later, it would be better to know that you are earning money. , who would have thought that such an older child would be so prosperous..."
The words were praise, but the eyes were full of gossip. Chen Yuanming's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, but the smile on his mouth did not fade away. "It's all because I'm young and ignorant, which makes my family worried. Thanks to Grandma Wang for taking care of you, I owe my neighbors to help me during this time..."
"Hey! Where did you go!" Aunt Wang waved her hand boldly, "They all live in the yard, not the neighbors and the neighbors! It's just that Doudou, you won't leave this time when you come back, right? You can do business like this, family. If you can’t make money the same way, why go so far…”
Faced with such consolation, what else can Chen Yuanming say? After a few words with a smile, he turned around and went back to the room. Putting down the towel in his hand, Chen Yuanming looked at the still cramped and cramped room, and then looked at the corridor where it was almost inconvenient to move, and showed a wry smile.
In the past two years, every time he sent a letter to send money home, what was in the reply letter he received? At first, he was scolded with sincerity and fear, and then he was suspected of taking a crooked road, and then he was a little worried and caring, and a little proud and comforted, until he started investing in stocks and no longer had any financial constraints, two times a total of 40,000 yuan bank card was completely blocked. mouth of the family. Nearly 60,000 yuan was sent home in two years. What kind of figure is this? If you don't steal or rob, it's enough to prove that you can really make money, and you have successfully fulfilled your promise. Although you may still be worried about strange things like stock speculation, your parents have gradually opened their hearts and accepted their actions.
However, his family no longer questioned his ability to make money, but it did not mean that others would not. One-night riot is full of legends, and it is too easy for others to covet. Just like what happened in this small staff dormitory, as long as one step deviated from the track, countless people sneered, questioned and accused. If you leave home by yourself, will your parents feel no pressure at all? Of course not, but this small dormitory has too much resistance.
Still too small.
This dormitory, this factory, this city... Staying in this well, you will always be able to see the big sky, and if you want to completely change all of this, the only way to go further is to go out. But do you have the conditions to pick up your parents now? Or can parents let go of everything and go out with themselves
Chen Yuanming sat at the dining table and sighed deeply, he still couldn't do it. The stock market is just duckweed, a grass without roots. No matter how much money he makes, he can't tell his parents directly, causing them to panic. As for the workers of state-owned enterprises in their 30s and 40s, they will stay in this city and factory all their lives. How can we make them leave their homes
After all, it's still the wrong time. Chen Yuanming shook his head, there were so many things that he didn't even think about clearly, how could he make a decision right away, let's do it step by step. But now... After looking around at the furnishings in the room, a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and he could still do something.
When they got home in the evening, Chen Jianhua and Wang Juan were both stunned, only to see that the neighbors who were supposed to be busy cooking were all around his door, chatting and discussing something, and from time to time there would be a few excited screams from the children. in. What happened? The two of them also walked towards the door of the house regardless of the New Year's goods in their hands.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, an awkward voice came from the room.
"Pegasus Meteor Fist… "
With this strange sound, the children shouted together, and many others clapped their hands, and the excited voice overwhelmed the adults' discussion. Frightened by the movement, the two of them didn't care about being polite, and they walked into the house after breaking away from the crowd.
As soon as he entered the room, he was a big guy who couldn't ignore him. I saw that the sundries on the chest of drawers had been cleaned up, a square box was placed on it, the front screen was lit up, and a few villains were fighting on the screen, and I didn't know what to do. The room was full of children, and even the bed was full of people, all of them happily staring at the screen and yelling.
This is... a color TV? There is still a large color TV of about 2 inches!
Wang Juan swallowed her saliva and wanted to find her son, but Sister Ma was already crowded beside her and started chattering.
"Ah, big girl, your Doudou is too good. I just arrived home yesterday, and I brought back such a big color TV today~~" As he said, the other party's eyes had drifted to the middle of the room, and he looked at the beautiful girl with envy. Color TV, Changhong is still a famous brand! When I bought a TV the year before last, my family had a good time, but that 14-inch black and white TV is nothing compared to this thing!
"That's right!" On the other side, Sister Li also helped, "This kid Doudou looks different. He is smart and capable. Others say he is not doing his job properly. Now look at others! The boss gives a red envelope that is enough to buy a TV. Who can do it!"
A group of half-old Xu Niang chatted and chatted, Wang Juan only felt dizzy, and who knew that another voice came from outside the door.
"Come on, the apples are washed, you are welcome, eat them all."
Isn't that Beanie's voice? ! Wang Juan turned her head sharply, only to see her son walking over with a big bowl of apples in his arms.
"The red Fuji is crispy and sweet, but it's delicious."
"Oh, Doudou, why are you so polite!"
All of a sudden, there was a lot of humility and humility, but the action of holding the apple was not slow at all. If it was someone else's family, I guess I would want to push it. But the old Chen family is so developed, it's not right to eat his apple
In just a blink of an eye, the apples in the basin were completely robbed, and there was a sound of crunching and chewing. Wang Juan twitched the corners of her mouth in distress. There must be half a box, right? These old ladies really don't care!
The giggling continued for a long time. It wasn't until the cartoon was over that the neighbors pulled their little brat to say goodbye. He heard too many compliments, and his ears were ringing. Wang Juan only felt that her face was smiling. Stiff, Chen Jianhua's expression was stiff, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
After seeing off the guests and closing the door, Chen Yuanming walked to his parents with a smile. "Today I went to the department store, and just because the color TV was still in stock, I moved one back..."
"Move..." Chen Jianhua's lips trembled. Buying a color TV is such a big deal, does it mean that you can move home if you move!
Wang Juan also frowned in heartache, "Doudou, you really...don't discuss such a big deal with us, 2-inch color TV! How much does it cost, you can buy it as you like..."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Yuanming smiled, "I brought 5,000 yuan with me when I came back this time, just to add something to the family and send back so much money. You don't spend it well, so how can I feel at ease."
"5,000!" Wang Juan exclaimed a little, "Why don't you save some money for living with so much? Besides, if you have extra money, you can save it. You can also use it when you get married in the future..."
Chen Yuanming's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he smiled again, "Whatever, money is used to spend, if you don't spend it, it will depreciate. I can still earn it, what are you afraid of. Besides, who is not a poor lover? Fu, your family is always looking down on things, and people look down on it for nothing. As long as there is me, no one can look down on our family!"
The words were sonorous and powerful. Wang Juan only felt a burst of warmth rushed into her eyes, she quickly put her things on the ground, turned her head and rushed out. He was still chattering, "You two are waiting, I'll be ready for dinner soon..."
Chen Jianhua's lips were still trembling slightly, but he didn't say a word in the end, he just stretched out his hand, and his son patted twice on his shoulder. Then he turned around immediately, lowered his head and studied the manual and remote control on the table.
Seeing that he had nothing to do with the second old man, Chen Yuanming suppressed the bitter smile on his lips.
With a color TV, a meal will be much quieter. Although Chen Jianhua and Wang Juan are eating, their eyes are always drawn to the program on the TV. Even a simple advertisement can be seen for a long time. In fact, TV is really not a rare thing these days, but where has the old Chen family ever had such a high-end and large-scale product, usually even the radio is rarely turned on, such a beautiful color TV, who doesn't want to take a second look
Looking at the wandering parents, Chen Yuanming smiled and asked. "Dad, Mom, do you plan to share a house near the factory? That kind of bigger apartment..."
As soon as the words came out, the two of them were startled. Wang Juan thought about it, and said first, "Yes, but it should be divided according to the title and length of work... This time, a building was built in Xiyuan Park. It is said that every There are 5 or 6 square meters in the room, and several leaders of our branch are waiting to line up."
Hearing this news, Chen Yuanming couldn't help frowning. He wanted to change his family to a bigger house, but the big problem now is not money, but that there was no such thing as commercial housing in City L in 1993. At that time, the housing reform had not yet started, and the housing for workers was all based on distribution, based on their length of service and professional titles, and the supply was completely in short supply. Front-line workers want to get a suitable house, at least after the housing reform in 1994, a large number of units have built their own houses. If they can rank and pay, they can live in houses.
However, in the last life, even if their family was ranked, they still could not move into the house. Without him, the purchase price of more than 10,000 yuan was not at the price that the Chen family could afford at that time, and after missing that opportunity, until he made some money by going north, the whole family moved out of this staff dormitory in 1999...
Yes, the time is wrong... In the early 1990s, it was impossible to do without money, but with money, it was not necessarily smooth. At this time, China had not yet transformed into a money society, and power and status were more omnipotent than money. But now, what can he, Chen Yuanming, take out besides money
Sighing softly, Chen Yuanming shook his head, "Forget it, I'll go to Aunt Liu's house tomorrow for a walk. Isn't Uncle Sun the office director of a branch factory? Maybe I can get news from him..."
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent, and Chen Jianhua and Wang Juan both stopped their chopsticks. Aware that the atmosphere was not right, Chen Yuanming also put down the tableware and laughed as if jokingly, "What? I'm not allowed to interact with Aunt Liu and their family now. I earn more than her..."
"Doudou." Wang Juan interrupted Chen Yuanming abruptly, glanced at her husband nervously, and said, "Your aunt Liu has moved away, so I guess I won't be able to see you again..."
