Chapter 275 The joy of returning home

For many young people in economically underdeveloped areas, returning home to celebrate the New Year as the Spring Festival approaches, and leaving home in a hurry after the New Year has become the norm. In many rural areas with relatively poor living conditions, they can only see the elderly and children.

In order to support the family, young and strong people had to leave their hometowns and go to work in other places to make money, and then send back the money they earned. If they don’t go out, they will only rely on the income of a few acres of thin land at home, they will be afraid that their lives will be even more difficult.

When Zhuang Haiyang took his girlfriend and began to enjoy the rare world of two people on Nanshan Island, those invited comrades also embarked on the way home one after another. Unlike previous years, these comrades are very confident this year.

If it were the past, every year ended, the time when these comrades felt the most uncomfortable. The reason was that they could not make money after working hard for a year. When they returned home, they would feel deeply guilty when they faced their family’s expectant eyes.

Unlike Qian Yunpeng and Wang Yanming, who accompanied his girlfriend, wife and daughter to travel around, Lin Zitao, whose hometown is located in the mountainous area of ​​Yunnan Province, was the first time in his life to return to the capital of Yunnan Province by plane, and then transferred to a train and a car.

Arriving in the small town where his hometown is, Lin Zitao also truly realized how big the gap between his hometown and the outside world is. Thinking of his parents and younger siblings at home, Lin Zitao did not go home directly, but purchased things in the town first.

Originally, he wanted to buy a car, but Lin Zitao knew very well that he didn't spend much time using a car at home. Thinking that his father would have to take someone else's car every time he went out on the street, Lin Zitao thought for a while and said, "It's better to buy a tricycle!"

Although buying a car and going home is more respectful, Lin Zitao still feels that it is completely unnecessary to spend money for the sake of face. Finally, at the car dealer in the town, he picked a more common three-wheeled motorcycle in the village, which can carry both people and cargo.

After spending less than 10,000 yuan to buy a good car, Lin Zitao began to purchase some things. Even though there was still some time before the Chinese New Year, he still knew that his family's food was not very good. His parents, who have been frugal all their lives, were saving money for their children.

Thinking of his younger siblings who were still in school at home, Lin Zitao also smiled and said, "When you have time, I will take them out to buy clothes!"

Although Lin Zitao was the third group of comrades who came here, he still earned nearly one million in just about half a year. Such money may not be considered a big deal in economically developed areas. Here, it is a huge sum of money!

Riding three newly bought motorcycles, Lin Zitao arrived at the village where he was home like an arrow. Many children playing at the village seemed a little surprised to see Lin Zitao, and seemed to not know the young man riding a motorcycle in front of him.

On the contrary, some older villagers also said in surprise when they saw Lin Zitao: "Zitao, when will they come back?"

"Just come back, is my parents at home?"

"Here! Are you back for the New Year so early?"

"Well! The company has annual leave in advance, so I'll come back early."

After chatting with the villagers, handing over a few cigarettes. Lin Zitao didn't stop for much and rode his motorcycle to the hillside where he was. Benefiting from the country's poverty alleviation policies, their village finally ended the history of Huangni Road.

Although the cement road was not directly built to Lin Zitao's doorstep, there was no problem riding a motorcycle. Because the villagers lived in a dispersed manner, the Lin family, who was resting at home, heard the movement and walked out.

"Brother? Dad and Mom, it's the eldest brother who is back!"

Lin Zitao heard this and said with a smile: "Big sister, why are you at home? It's time for school?"

"Well! I just came back yesterday. Brother, why did you come back so early this year?"

Facing his sister's inquiry, Lin Zitao also smiled and said, "The company will have a holiday in advance, so I will come back early if I have nothing to do. Where are my brothers and sisters? Haven't they had a holiday yet?"

"Let it go! Now, I should have gone to play in the village!"

As the parents walked out of the house one by one, looking at the motorcycle their son was riding, the father also said in surprise: "Whose bike are you riding?"

"Dad, this is what I bought in the town! I originally wanted to buy a car, but after the New Year I still have to go to work in the company, so it's useless to buy a car. You just happen to be able to ride this car, so I will put it at home for you to ride it. Isn't it more convenient to go to the street or something?"

After listening to Lin Zitao's car buying process, my father was happy and couldn't help but complain: "It's expensive to buy! Some people in our village buy it, which is two hundred yuan cheaper than you!"

"Dad, I've given me a lot of things, and the fuel tank has been added. If it's more expensive, it's more expensive!"

He helped to move all the things purchased from the town into his own yard. Looking at the things his son bought, the father was surprised: "Zi Tao, you don't smoke, why are you buying so many cigarettes? I can't use this cigarette!"

"Dad, this cigarette is for someone to smoke! It just so happened that this year's holiday was early, so I wanted to build a new house next to me. The eldest and younger brothers are not young anymore, so it's somewhat inconvenient for them to squeeze together to rest. Besides, our house is still old.

Didn’t my mother often say that she would wait for me to marry a wife before building a new house? Although I don’t have a wife yet, I can build the house first so that our family can live in a more spacious place. In the evening, you can invite my uncle and others to have a meal to discuss it!"

As soon as these words came out, my father said suspiciously: "It's simple to start a new house. Do you know how much it costs to build a new house?"

"Dad, don't worry about money. Didn't I send you 10,000 yuan every month? That money is really for you and mom to make household purchases. In fact, my salary is very high now, so it's hard to say how high it is."

"What kind of work are you doing over there? Didn't you mean fishing?"

Lin’s mother, who was standing next to her, heard what her son said, and knew that her son must have made money. The problem is that her son has only been out for more than half a year. No matter how high his salary is, he can’t make the money needed to build a new house!

After looking at the closest family around him, Lin Zitao thought for a while and said, "Dad, mom, big sister, just listen to my work income, don't talk nonsense everywhere. If others know that I've made money, they will definitely ask me to take someone to work.

But the work I do is not recruiting outsiders at all, and even the boss has explained that he should not tell others the specific income. What I can tell you is that my monthly income is about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. How much do you have in half a year?"

"What job? Can you make so much in a month?"

The eldest girl who is already in high school knows a little what this income means. Just as she was amazed, Lin Zitao smiled and said, "That's because the boss is my brother's comrade-in-arms, and the other colleagues are my brother's comrade-in-arms."

"Wow, your comrade-in-arms boss is such a good person!"

If Zhuang Haiyang knew that he had been given a good person card, he would probably be very happy!

On the other hand, Lin Zitao also smiled and nodded, "Well, my comrade-in-arms is indeed a good person. In fact, I went there late. Some comrades have been there for longer than me, and they made more money this year. But the boss is the one who really makes money!

If you know that my boss can earn millions a month, you won’t think that it’s great if I earn tens of thousands a month. Even if the money for building a new house is still a little short of money, I believe I can make it back next year. So, this house must be built!"

I briefly introduced my work and income situation. My parents were also happy that my son would find such a generous job after he was discharged from the army. Earlier, when his son was serving in the army, many people wanted to marry his son.

But as his son returned from the army, those people felt that his son had lost his job and must have no prospects. Such realistic approach made Lin Zitao's parents very angry. But now, they feel that their son is really promising.

As long as the new house is built, I believe that those families with girls of the right age will come from home to visit again. But Lin Zitao insisted on this matter: "Dad, mom, let me do the matter of finding a partner by myself!"

"Okay! You have such a job now, and finding a rural girl is really a bit wronged."

Listening to what his father said, Lin Zitao smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I don't mean that. I just think that I can make more money while I am still young. I dare not say that I can continue to do this job, maybe I won't be able to do it in a few years."

"Tao! Isn't this job very hard?"

"That's not! Specifically, the work is not hard, and it's even very leisurely. But I don't want to be distracted, but I want to concentrate on my work. As long as our family becomes rich, are you still afraid that I won't find a good girl?"

While chatting with my family, my younger brothers and sisters who were playing outside ran back one by one. They all looked very happy when they saw the things they bought by my elder brother. Some villagers also came to say hello, and Lin Zitao also welcomed her warmly.

When the villagers asked about their jobs, Lin Zitao also smiled and said, "It's okay! The work is not very tiring, and the income is pretty good. Because the boss had something to do before the New Year, he took a holiday in advance and I came back early for the New Year."

Regarding income, Lin Zitao also remembered the advice of Wang Yanming and others, and did not tell too much to outsiders. Lin Zitao naturally knew about the worldly affairs. And his parents also understood his son's difficulties.

What the villagers didn't expect was that the next day they heard Lin Zitao was preparing to build a new house, which was the same as the villa in the city, and said in surprise: "It seems that this kid has made money this year!"

If you don’t have money, how dare you build such a good villa with higher wages?

It doesn’t matter what the villagers think, the most important thing is Lin Zitao’s younger siblings. When they see the pictures of the country villa specially printed by Lin Zitao, they all seemed very excited. The two sisters even said that they would have to divide a room when the new house was built.

Lin Zitao was also very happy to see his parents and family's expectations. As the eldest son and elder brother in the family, Lin Zitao also knew very well that it was indeed a bit disappointing for his family to fail to remain in the army.

The problem is that it is not something Lin Zitao can decide that he cannot continue to serve. Lin Zitao is also very happy to have the ability to change his own situation now. He believes that maybe another good news should have an answer this year!
