He Jin felt even more bitter when he saw the pile of loose change in his father's hand. He grabbed his father's hand and stuffed it back: "Don't take it, I'll just pay for the taxi."
After hailing a taxi, He Jin opened the back seat door, let his father get in first, put the suitcase in the back of the car, and followed into the back car, sitting side by side with his father.
"Have you eaten yet?" He Jin asked him.
"No, we'll eat together when you come." His father said.
"What are you waiting for me? I won't starve myself." He Jin looked at the time and saw that it was half past eight when he got home. As a retired person, I usually have dinner in the early 5 o'clock in the evening. In order to wait for him, the two elders were hungry until eight o'clock, and He Jin felt uncomfortable again thinking about it.
He opened the bag of food that Qin Yang bought for him, and wanted to use the box of sushi from the convenience store to pad his dad's stomach first, but when he touched the sushi, he felt that the sushi was extremely cold. Uncomfortable, can only give up.
Neither father nor father knew how to chat. They sat in the back seat without talking all the way. When they arrived at the gate of the community, He Jin's father went to take money out of his pocket again.
After getting out of the car, under the dim street lights, his father looked at him with a smile, and He Jin looked a little embarrassed: "What are you laughing at?"
His father said: "Laughing, you are rushing to pay with me. Your money is also given to you by your parents. What do you have to grab?"
He Jin choked for a moment, and said to himself, this is an attitude, do you understand attitude!
He followed behind his father and whispered: "I will earn it, and I will spend it for you in the future."
His father's back paused, and he continued to walk forward: "I don't know how to spend money, you can give it to your mother when the time comes."
He Jin: "..."
When the father and father entered the house, a familiar smell rushed over them. It was not the smell of food, but old furniture, kitchen fumes, washing powder, moth balls... mixed with all kinds of smells that belonged to their home, not the smell of food. It smelled bad, but it made He Jin instantly recall the memories of his life here for nearly twenty years.
When his mother saw He Jin, her whole face brightened, and she directed his father to put the suitcase for He Jin, and went to heat up the dishes on the table: "Hurry up and wash your hands, take off your coat, I don't know how much it was stained on the way." Human bacteria, if you feel cold, go get a new one, I put it on the bed in your room... After washing your hands, change your clothes and eat!"
There was only one woman's voice in the whole house, chatting quickly. In fact, He Jin was very happy to see her for the first time, but she couldn't stop talking, and He Jin became a little irritable.
"Oh, by the way, did you come back by bus? Did the bus drive pretty fast today? I'm looking at the time... Fortunately, there is a bus from the train station to our house. Our house is in a good location. It's been decades, but it's still very convenient to go anywhere... He Jin, are there many people on the bus?"
"It's okay." He Jin said casually, changed his clothes, came out and sat down.
There was a table of food, including fish and meat. His father was in a good mood and poured a small glass of white wine to drink. He Jin saw him and said, "Dad, let me drink with you."
Her mother immediately screamed: "What kind of wine do children drink? It's white, fifty-two degrees! Don't imitate the good ones and imitate the bad ones, eat!"
Grandpa: "..."
He Jin wanted to refute, I am no longer a child, so what if I just drink some wine with my dad!
But he knew that as soon as he said these two sentences, her mother would explode. This woman never listens to rebuttals. As long as she believes in the rules, she has to follow what she said. If you don't follow, she can talk to the issue of life and death.
Father He compared chopsticks and signaled He Jin to eat his meal without accompanying him. Mother He didn't realize that the atmosphere was wrong at all, so she glanced at He Jin and said, "Look at you, you've lost weight after half a year, can you eat the food in the school cafeteria?" ? This is the hoof from the black pork that my mother bought. Eat more tonic at home... Hey, there is also this base shrimp, one hundred and twenty one catties, and this pot alone costs fifty. In order to buy this table dish for you, I haven't eaten meat with your dad for a week!"
He Jin paused, suddenly couldn't eat...
Father He couldn't help but muttered: "Speak less, don't put psychological pressure on the child."
Mother He gave him a blank look: "What pressure did I put on the child? I just want to let him know that the family is good, who can treat him with such heart and soul like his parents outside!"
He's father stopped talking, He Jin hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice and put down the chopsticks, his mother frowned: "Don't you want to eat?"
He Jin: "I'm full."
Mother He: "Eat more of that dish!"
He Jin said calmly: "Mom, don't buy so many vegetables in the future, and don't eat poor food just because you bought good ones for me. Our family is not short of money for food, right?"
Mother He put away his bowls and chopsticks with a fierce face: "I still want to buy you a house, marry a wife, and when you have children, I will pay for my grandson to go to school. You don't know how expensive it is to go to school now, Mei Aunt Juan, do you remember? Her granddaughter is five years old this year, and she goes to an early education foreign language training class, and the tuition fee is this amount!" Mother He made a gesture of eight, which is estimated to be 8,000, "Now, children's education is the same as It's like stealing money, we are getting older, we can save as much as we can, it's not for you... "
He Jin: "I will make the money myself, so don't worry about it."
His mother snorted and laughed: "You earn? Where do you earn money? You don't read TV and newspapers reporting on the unemployment of college students? All those who come out of Huada drive taxis. Let me tell you... I asked, your dad gave The public institution you are looking for, all kinds of benefits add up to less than 10,000 yuan, which is considered very good. In this way, you can save at most 100,000 yuan in a year. Do you know what the house price is in Q City now? The better location is 1 level 20,000, you can only buy a toilet if you don’t eat or drink for a year, when you earn money to buy a house, your father’s ashes and I will be cold!”
He Jin: "I can find a job in City A, where the salary is higher than here..."
Mother He: "It's even more difficult to get along in a big city! Do you think that high wages can solve the problem? High wages also have high expenses. You have to rent a house by yourself when you are out of town, and I heard that housing prices in city A are within the third ring road. It’s all 80,000 flat! If you want to work in the city center of city A, you only need to take the subway for an hour or two every day. If you want to find a company in the suburbs, you might as well go back to city Q! Don’t think I don’t know, I’ve seen it all News! You, you have been in school for a long time, naive!"
He Jin frowned and said, "Then I won't get married for now, I'll talk about it when I have money."
Mother He was startled, and her voice suddenly rose: "How can this work! You must get married! Buy a house! I won't say it all. If you don't have money, I will save it for you. Just take care of yourself and finish your studies. When I come back, I will live at home after work, and everything will be safe... "
The topic fell into an endless loop, no matter how calm He Jin was, he couldn't continue communicating with his mother.
After taking a shower and returning to the room, it was already eleven o'clock, and He Jin lay paralyzed on the bed, as if he had lost his life.
Because of different ideas, the one-hour-long lecture just now made He Jin endure intense mental torture. He didn't want that, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute his mother. After all, he hasn't graduated yet, and he can't guarantee himself. What kind of future can there be? The grades in school can't explain everything. After entering the society, everything has to start from scratch...
How much he wished that he could have a large sum of money now, and piled it all up in front of his mother, and said confidently: "Mom, we are not short of money, you and dad can live better, don't wrong yourself, and don't think about me." So much, I can take care of my own life.”
... But is it a matter of money? no!
He Jin doesn't think their family is poor. He also has an impression of his parents' wages before retirement. Although they are not considered rich, they are still well-to-do, but their quality of life makes He Jin feel that they are still hungry Struggling with the line... Especially the sentence "We didn't eat meat for a week because of you" on the fucking dinner table, is it so exaggerated
Therefore, the problem is not money, but concepts. Even if he gave his mother 10 million, his mother would probably be reluctant to spend a cent for herself. Her current ability can only manage this family, her son, and maybe even her grandson Well, when she has ten million, she will be able to take care of her great-grandsons, great-great-grandchildren... the children and grandchildren are endless. (=_=)
"He Jin! Did you buy this bag of snacks?" His mother's voice came through the door, "How many times have I told you not to eat this kind of junk food, and what is this... sushi? This plastic box The news has been reported, it’s poisonous! Did you eat too much snacks because you eat so little at night? And it’s not cheap, right? I save this and that every day to worry about you, why don’t you let me save my worry! Don’t do it again Let me see you buy these things!"
He Jin: "..."
He Jin picked up the pillow next to him, turned over and pressed his head hard, his whole face was buried in the bedding, he couldn't breathe... Stop talking, it's so annoying, it's really annoying, it would be great if he could pass out...
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind - "Be stronger, don't admit defeat."
He Jin was taken aback. This was a sentence that Fire said to him after he surrendered to Fire in the PK field. Somehow he remembered it now, and he gradually let go of the hand that was pressing on the pillow. That sentence inspired some courage.
That's right, this is a hurdle he must cross, otherwise his life will be finished!
Mother He: "Did you hear that?"
He Jin roared back angrily: "I heard it!"
If it is said that a classmate bought it for him, he will probably get more verbose. He Jin rationally chose to take the blame. There is no point in arguing with his mother now, and this matter has to be taken care of slowly.
In the evening, He Jin heard that his parents had fallen asleep, and sent a message to Fire, but he didn't reply, so he tiptoed out of bed, took the game helmet from his school bag, lay back on the bed, put it on, and slipped off the blindfold.
At midnight, He Jin logged into the game, and Fire was indeed online.
Fire: "Why are you here so late? Are you home?"
Ah Jin: "Well, I'll come up and take a look."
Fire: "Hehe, do you want to see me or your son?"
Ah Jin: "..."
Fire: "We are on the floating island, and you came here with us."
He Jin immediately flew to Fire and saw that there were only him and Tang Yuan. Seeing He Jin, the magic baby excitedly made a "cheep chirp chirp" sound, waving its small wings and flew to He Jin's side, rubbing and kissing , He Jin hugged him with a smile: "It feels like a big circle."
Fire: "Well, I don't know if it will continue to grow up. I just commanded him to fight monsters, and found that this little guy is very smart. He remembers everything I taught him."
Ah Jin couldn't help but kissed the glutinous rice balls on the face, and the magic baby made a "cheep" sound, his face was flushed, and he was a little dumbfounded by the kiss.
Fire was also stunned, and said for a while, "You never kissed me before."
He Jin: "..."
