Although he was a little moved, it was impossible for Fang Honghua to leave for the capital immediately.
She has lived in this small village for many years. She was born and grew up until she entered middle age. She has always lived in this village and never left. Longer than living with an adopted son.
Before Fang's father appeared, she never thought about leaving the village and going outside one day.
This is too risky for Fang Honghua.
She is over forty years old, but she wants to leave her hometown and go to a city she has never seen outside, where she has no one to depend on - although Fang Yan is her adopted son, he is only an adopted son after all. He is the son of the Fang family, so it is impossible for her to live with her, or in other words, it is impossible for her to live with the Fang family.
Fang Honghua tossed and turned and thought for a long time, and she also imagined the life she would have after going to the capital.
She thought about it, her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of anything.
She knew too little about the capital, which was not enough to support her imagination. She knows nothing but farming, but does the capital need farmers? In her perception, people in the city don't need to farm.
She is too old and can't do anything, she doesn't have great skills, and she can't even speak Mandarin well.
After dinner, she nervously knocked on Fang's parents' door.
"You said before, let me go to the capital..." Fang Honghua muttered, not knowing what to say.
Fang's father said kindly: "Have you thought it over, are you planning to go with us? If you want, you can leave now. We will go back tomorrow, and you can go with us in our car."
"No, I haven't made up my mind yet, I just want to ask..." Fang Honghua cautiously raised her eyes to look at them, and was relieved not to see any look of disdain on their faces. She took a deep breath and asked boldly, "If... if I go to the capital, what can I do?"
Father Fang was confused: "What can you do?"
"I... I don't know anything, I can't even speak Mandarin well, and I don't know anything except farming." Fang Honghua said nervously: "I only graduated from primary school, and I don't know a few words... "
She wanted to make her adopted son proud of herself.
But Fang Honghua was not sure, would Yanyan really be proud of her for a person like herself who knew nothing
"As long as you are willing to learn, you can learn anything." Fang's father reassured: "If you are worried, we can help you hire a teacher to teach you how to read. There are many skill classes in the capital for people without education. , you can go and see what you want to learn, as long as you study it with your heart, you will have a craft after you learn it. If you have a craft, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find a job.”
Fang's mother also followed closely: "Yes, when you first went to the capital, we can provide you with a place to live and let you settle down in the capital first. After you learn it later, if you need our help, we can also introduce you to a job. —if you can learn it well.”
Seeing Fang Honghua's expression hesitated again, she added: "Of course, we won't provide it to you for free, whether it's rent or tuition, we can help you pay in advance, as long as you make money in the future, you can return it to us." That's it."
She knew that for free gifts, it would make the middle-aged woman in front of her feel uneasy.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Fang Honghua let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, she continued to feel uneasy. She had heard from other people that everything in the capital was expensive and the expenses were high. If she passed, she would not have learned anything, but instead owed a whole lot of debt. Wouldn't she be a drag on her adopted son
The 200,000 that Fang's family took out easily before was already an astronomical figure that she had never seen before, but in the capital, it seems that 200,000 is not a huge amount
She earns her whole life, but she can't earn 200,000...
Fang Honghua was worried.
Seeing her anxiety, Father Fang didn't force it, he just took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
"It has my phone on it... do you have a phone here?"
"Yes." Fang Honghua said hastily, "The village head has them at home."
Father Fang nodded and said, "If you think about it, you can call us. The number is on the business card. If you are willing to go, I will arrange someone to take you to the capital."
Fang Honghua carefully put the business card into her pocket.
She thanked them many times before walking out lightly.
Back in the room, Fang Yan was already lying on the bed and was drowsy. Hearing her smearing into the door, he barely opened his eyes, moved sleepily to the side, and said softly: "Mother Hua , I have been waiting for you for a long time..."
"Hey." Fang Honghua responded, and carefully lay down under the blanket, and waited until her hands and feet were warmed up, before leaning over to hug him: "Go to sleep."
Fang Yan soon fell asleep.
But Fang Honghua couldn't sleep all night. She opened her eyes and looked at the dark roof, and kept touching the thin business card with her hands.
The night passed quickly.
After breakfast, the Fang family will leave for home.
Last night, Fang Huai slept very well without playing on his mobile phone. He didn't rush out with his suitcase until everyone was packed up, screaming, "Fang Ke! No matter how you get up, you can't sleep." Don't call me!"
He emptied the porridge and side dishes in the bowl indiscriminately. After filling his stomach, he hurried to the car again. The others had already packed everything and sat in the car waiting for him.
Fang Honghua gave them a tightly covered jar, and said, "This is a vegetable I pickled myself. I just pickled it yesterday, and I can't eat it now. It will be ready in another month. Everyone knows about it."
The driver picked it up and put it in the trunk.
Fang Yan opened the car window, reluctantly said goodbye to her, until the car drove away, he was still lying on it, waving in this direction non-stop.
"Mom Hua—I'll come back to see you in a while—"
The car gradually drove away.
With tears in the corners of Fang Honghua's eyes, she couldn't help chasing a few steps, but her footsteps were no match for a car, so she stopped before running two steps, and turned her head to wipe her tears.
"Aunt Fang." The neighbor came out of the house and asked, "Is your little treasure gone?"
Fang Honghua wiped her eyes, and said as if nothing had happened: "Yes."
The neighbor looked into her house curiously: "Your Xiaobao has gone to live a good life in the city. Look at how handsome he is in this car. I heard it costs a lot of money. His family is so rich. Come back You should have brought some good things with you when you arrived, right?"
She asked like this on her mouth, but she knew it very clearly in her heart.
That day when Fang's family was moving things, she saw them all. Bags, big and small, filled the entire trunk. Look at the new silk scarf on Fang Honghua's neck. She had never seen it before. It looked even better than the village chief's wife. Well, obviously Fang Xiaobao brought it back.
In addition to this scarf, it is estimated that there are many good things.
She looked at it greedily, wanting to hear Fang Honghua introduce herself, but Fang Honghua ignored her at all, turned her head and entered the room.
"Cut, what's the matter with it." The neighbor spat: "Isn't it a son for someone else to raise for nothing?"
