Chapter 160: The Simple Generation of Migrant Workers
Although the family is getting together, except for father, mother and sister can only see each other at night, and at least after nine o'clock, sometimes, Feng Yiping came back after sleeping. When he woke up in the morning, including his father, they had already gone to the store. Speaking of which, they couldn't even have a meal together one day.
Their work and rest time is similar to that of Feng Yiping in school, and they are all year round, but every time they meet, they are very energetic. Even Feng Yuxuan is a hundred times more motivated and happily talks about some interesting things she encountered in the store that day.
This reminded him of something. During the summer vacation when he was in a technical secondary school, his parents were not young at that time. Unfortunately, Mei Qiuping had heatstroke, and Feng Zhenchang also had dysentery. He got a drip every day, and the two of them stayed at home for those days.
One morning after dinner, they saw a young couple in the window, one carrying a load of farmhouse fertilizer and the other carrying a hoe and a sickle, walking up the mountain with a chat and laughing. Mei Qiuping made a comment at that time, "How great it would be if we could do it like them now!"
Feng Zhenchang, who was gray and almost sixty years old, could not hide the envy in his eyes and said with a slight bleak sentence, "Yes, but when we were young, we could do more than them!"
When I think about it, it seems that in the minds of my parents, I don’t feel "tired" at all, let alone retirement, retirement, etc., being able to live until old age and stay old is their highest pursuit.
…………
In front of Feng Yiping, although Feng Zhenchang is still the same as a strict father, he will come back to have breakfast with Feng Yiping every morning after finishing his work. During the meal, the two of them didn’t talk much, and they went over and over again, just a few words, “Eat slower,” “Eat another egg,” and “Eat more!”
I didn't talk much, and sometimes I was a little harsh, but I still couldn't hide the warmth.
Most rural fathers are like this. They are more restrained and may not be good at expressing themselves, nor do they express their love for their children. However, in terms of caring for their own children, they are essentially no different from fathers in the city.
"Dad, I'll go to the store to help too!" Feng Yiping said to Feng Zhenchang who was about to go out while washing dishes.
"No need, there are enough people in the store. You should review your homework at home and don't always watch TV!"
When he walked to the door, he turned back, "If you are tired of reading books, go out and change your mind, don't go far. I left you fifty dollars on the table, so I saved some money!"
"Oh," the whole family is working hard, leaving him alone idle. This seems to be the rhythm of cultivating second generations or dandy.
However, after reviewing, he felt that he had already learned a lot. He never wanted to read the things in the textbooks and could not read them anymore, so he thought about going to Xinhua Bookstore to find a few exercise collections.
He left a note on the table, took two buses, and arrived at the Xinhua Bookstore, the largest provincial capital. This was not the first time he came. He was familiar with the journey and came to the second floor. He had many exercises and many students around him. After looking at it, he found that these exercises were either from Huanggang High School or from Capital Normal University. He carefully read them for more than half an hour and picked out three of the most difficult ones, all of which were math.
He carried three books in a plastic bag and sat on the bench on the pedestrian street in front of the bookstore for a while, preparing to experience the "native customs" of the provincial capital. However, in this cold winter, all the girls who passed by were wearing thick clothes without exception. Occasionally, some people were decent and not warm, but they were not attracted to them. He shook his head, thinking about going back, and remembering that the provincial capital had not seen Wang Changning's parents in the past few days, so he thought about going over and taking a look.
Wang Changning’s parents’ territory is located in the west of the provincial capital, on the most prosperous Renmin Road extension line in the provincial capital. Of course, this extension is a bit long, but in short, it is close to the periphery of the city.
However, this place is actually good. Although the residential area is newly built, the occupancy rate is very high, and shopping malls and schools are also concentrated. It is not necessary to ride a tricycle around like Feng Zhenchang and others when they started working.
The primary school connected to the attached kindergarten has already been on holiday. They were not found at the entrance of the primary school, so Feng Yiping walked forward along the primary school. About 100 meters ahead was a four-story comprehensive shopping mall, and they should be there.
Sure enough, from a distance, he saw a tricycle parked beside the flower bed in front of the shopping mall gate, and there were several people around him.
He speeds up and is about to cross the road when he hears someone shouting, "Yiping?"
He looked in the sound and saw Wang Changning's mother, wearing sleeves and gloves, holding a snakeskin bag in one hand and a long pliers in the other, standing next to a trash can he had just passed, looking at him with joy.
Feng Yiping was stunned. To be honest, he had never done such a thing before, but he still ran over immediately and wanted to help her carry the bag, "Auntie, why are you here? Isn't the stall in front yours yours?"
"Yes, his dad is watching. I'm watching those people who come out of the mall, always throwing soda bottles and cans in these nearby trash cans. When they are not busy, they come to pick them up. They can sell them for a few dollars in a day. When did you come? You're taller again! Why are you still so thin?"
"Changning is about the same height as me, but he is also as thin as me," Feng Yiping said with a smile when he knew she missed her son.
"I don't know where you all have eaten so many meals, so why can't you grow fat? You go to his dad's side first, I'll be fine in a while."
"No, I'll help you." Feng Yiping saw several cans she picked out and put them on the ground, and helped her stomp them off after picking them up. He picked them up and threw them into the snakeskin bag. He wanted to help her carry the snakeskin bag. Chang Ning's mother refused, "What should I do if I get your clothes dirty?"
She couldn't resist Feng Yiping and didn't want him to pick up garbage with her, so she had to walk in front with a bag and take Feng Yiping to the tricycle.
His father was also very happy to see Feng Yiping, "When did you come? Business there is good!"
After asking a few questions, he said happily, "I just bought three pounds at once and said I would take them back for my colleagues to eat."
"Haha, it would be great if this happened a few more times a day!" his mother said with a smile.
"Are you hungry or not? There are a few buns left in the morning,"
They are all the same now. They not only buy candy and fried chestnuts, but also sell buns and soy milk.
Wang Changning's mother still couldn't bear to leave the soda bottles and cans in the other trash cans, so she asked Feng Yiping, who wanted to help, to help put the chestnuts into the bag next to the tricycle, and then flipped the trash cans with the snakeskin bag alone.
As noon approached, Feng Yiping took a free time, found a small restaurant, packed three portions of fried rice and one egg soup, and they kept saying that Feng Yiping wanted to give him the money, "You are here to see us, how can you buy it? Besides, there are buns, just buy two."
Her mother also said she wanted to return one, and Feng Yiping said, "Auntie, just treat it as Chang Ning's filial piety!"
ps: Oh, is this the rhythm of no one applauding today?
