Chapter 408 Going Home

Feng Xi booked a soft sleeper ticket, and the three of them were in the same compartment.

Going back from the capital, you have to stop at many stations on the way, which takes a long time. It takes seventeen or eight hours in total.

For such a long time, not to mention that she couldn't bear the hard seat, even if she was lying on the hard bed, she felt a little tortured.

A soft sleeper is better.

There is a direct train to their city, which takes several hours, but I can't get a ticket, so there's nothing I can do.

After getting in the car, they had something to eat and then went to sleep.

——If you go to bed too late at night and get up too early in the morning, you need to take a rest.

The three of them slept until noon and then got up for lunch.

I didn't sleep in the afternoon. I just sat there chatting and sometimes looking at the scenery outside the window.

While chatting, Yan Xin mentioned one thing to Bai Xiaoling - be stricter with your mouth and don't say what you shouldn't say.

Otherwise it will cause trouble to everyone’s lives.

Bai Xiaoling made a simple guarantee: "Brother, don't worry, my mouth is very strict, just like the iron gate, no information will be revealed."

Feng Xi did not interrupt, but she also smiled and nodded, which could be regarded as expressing her attitude.

They didn't prepare any New Year's goods, but they did prepare enough food for the road.

Bai Xiaoling was the one who did the shopping. Yan Xin would reimburse her anyway, so she didn't feel bad about spending it at all. She bought more than 1,000 yuan for the snacks she ate on the road.

They were all things that she usually wanted to eat but couldn't bear to eat.

Yan Xin doesn't care about this, it's just more than 1,000 yuan, as long as everyone is happy.

While chatting and eating and drinking, time passed quite quickly.

At night, I started to sleep again.

When I woke up, the bus had already arrived.

It was still dark at this time.

They dragged their suitcases out of the ticket gate, and it was still dark outside.

However, there are still some taxi drivers outside the train station looking for business.

It was still a little early, it was dark, and it was not safe to take a car. Yan Xin took the two of them to a breakfast shop, sat there and ate a bowl of beef noodles. Seeing that the time was almost six o'clock,

Walked out of the store, found a taxi driver, and discussed business with him.

You have to change trains when taking the bus, which is very troublesome, but the advantage is that it is relatively cheaper.

Now that they were not short of money, there was no need to worry about that, so they looked for a taxi.

After agreeing on the destination and the price, the three of them got in the car.

During this Chinese New Year, taxi prices are indeed quite expensive, two or three times more expensive than usual.

But they don't care.

As the cars left the city, the genius slowly began to shine.

There is no need to stop on the way, and the taxi is quite fast.

It was only about seven o'clock when we arrived at the county seat.

Yan Xin originally wanted to buy something to take home when passing by the county supermarket, but it was too early at this time and the supermarket was not open, so he had no choice but to go home directly.

When he arrived at the county seat, he called his father and told his father that they had arrived at the county seat and would be home soon.

He also said that they had already had breakfast in the city, so there was no need to prepare breakfast for them.

Feng Xi also called home and said that she would be home soon and that she would be back with Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling.

He hung up after only a few words of conversation.

This year, Feng Chen did not go home to celebrate the New Year. Instead, he celebrated the New Year with Master Ruan and his family in Xiaorong Town.

But he will bring Master Ruan and his family here after the New Year to talk about marriage.

Traffic in the south is now slowly recovering, and passengers stranded on the road are beginning to go home in batches.

After the Spring Festival, traffic will return to normal, and it will be very convenient for him to come back then.

It was only after seven o'clock when the taxi arrived at their village.

It can be said that they were relatively lucky. They encountered pretty good weather and there was no snow.

Otherwise, I would not dare to drive so fast.

The taxi first arrived at Feng Xi's house and dropped her off, then turned around and took Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling home.

When the car stopped in front of Feng Xi's house, her parents also came out. When they saw Feng Xi, they said "You're back" with a smile on their face. It was obvious that they were quite unhappy with this girl.

Hundreds of thousands of sponsorships, a huge amount of money that they had never seen before, were monopolized by this girl alone, and they hated it when they thought about it.

It was only later that I heard Wu Xiuhong say that the efficiency of the company my daughter ran in Beijing was pretty good, and I felt better.

But not to the point of forgiveness.

But now that this girl has grown up and her wings have hardened, the family may still have to point to this girl in the future, so no matter how unhappy I feel, when I see her coming back, I still have to put on a smile and say hello.

——This girl is no longer as obedient as before. She is really annoyed. She flutters away and flies away. As parents, there is really nothing they can do to stop her.

After taking the hundreds of thousands of sponsorship money a few months ago, Feng Xi had already proven his determination in front of them.

Now they don't dare to mess with this girl.

The smiling face made Feng Xi secretly roll his eyes, and then replied: "I'm back."

Dragging my suitcase, I walked into the house.

However, after her parents saw Yan Xin, the smiles on their faces were quite real: "Yan Xin, you have gone home too."

"Well, I made a special trip to the capital to pick up my sister and take her home." Yan Xin said with a smile.

The main purpose of saying this is to explain something so as not to spread any unpleasant words.

Bai Xiaoling also stretched out the car door and said hello to Feng's parents: "Uncle, aunt, hello."

The Feng family's parents also smiled at her and nodded in response.

But the smile on his face was a little perfunctory.

It seems that he still doesn't have that much respect for Bai Xiaoling.

Although they are half-brothers and sisters, one lent his son money and the other relied on his daughter to find a job, so their status is definitely different.

Yan Xin got out of the car and helped Feng Xi take the suitcase, chatted with Feng's parents for a few words and then got in the car.

Watching the taxi drive away, Feng’s mother said to Feng’s father:

"That young man from the Yan family is pretty good."

"Yeah, it's pretty good," Father Feng said, "In this village, it's just a little bit worse than our Xiaochen."

After saying that, the two people looked at each other, then looked at Feng Xi's room, and then both shook their heads, with complicated emotions.

In the car, Bai Xiaoling said to Yan Xin: "Brother, why do I feel like Sister Xi's family doesn't welcome her back?"

"Your feeling is correct," Yan Xin said, "Their family has always favored boys over girls, not to mention that Feng Xi took all the money to sponsor her studies, so naturally it makes her look even less good."

Bai Xiaoling nodded, finally understanding.

Then he sighed again: "It's terrible to favor sons over daughters. Fortunately, my mother only has a daughter. If I want to favor sons over daughters, I have no chance."

Yan Xin was indignant: "Ordinary families, even if they favor sons over daughters, are not as good as ours. Theirs is simply amazing!"

What happened in my previous life, I still feel a little angry when I think about it.

"Then...Brother, do you think that if you get married in the future, will her parents despise you?" Bai Xiaoling asked.

I secretly applied some eye drops.

Yan Xin glanced at her and thought to himself: "I was despised by her parents for several years in my previous life. That is no longer contempt, it is discrimination!"

But he said: "If there ever comes a day, they won't dare to despise me."

This is not bragging either.

In his previous life, he was discriminated against, and the main reason was that he had no money.

But this life is different.

He is very rich in this life, more money than Feng Xi.

With the virtues of the Feng family's parents, they have a rich son-in-law. It's too late to flatter him, so how can they dare to despise him?

Bai Xiaoling also nodded: "Well, my brother is so capable, no one in this world has the right to despise you."

The taxi stopped at his house, he paid and took off the suitcase.

Their parents have already come out and are helping to get things.

The enthusiasm shown was completely different from the enthusiasm shown by the Feng family's parents after seeing their daughter.

Yan Xin also enjoys this family affection.

I called my parents, and then said with some embarrassment: "I originally planned to go to the county supermarket to buy some New Year's goods, but when I passed by the county town it was too early and the supermarkets were not open, so I didn't buy anything.

"

"I don't need you to buy anything. My family has already prepared New Year's goods," Wu Xiuhong said with a smile. "It cost one or two thousand yuan to buy New Year's goods."

One year later, it would be very common to spend one or two thousand yuan on New Year's shopping.

But in this day and age, it's pretty good.

At least for the two old people, they have never been so generous.

But the main reason is because the children have to go home to celebrate the New Year, so it is better not to make it too shabby. They have to let the children feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

Bai Xiaoling stuck out her tongue: "Only one or two thousand yuan?"

Wu Xiuhong was unhappy when she said this: "Are there few New Year goods worth one or two thousand yuan? It sounds like you can make a lot of money."

"But I am very good at making money!" Bai Xiaoling said with a smile, "Although I have only been working for more than a month, this month's salary plus year-end bonus totals three to four thousand yuan, and I also got an outstanding employee

The bonus is another 5,000 yuan. In addition to the 1,000 yuan salary I received last month, I have already earned 10,000 yuan in more than a month. Isn’t it still profitable?

"

She was so proud when she said these words.

The money she earned in just over a month was more than her mother could earn in a year of hard work.

She now feels like she can overlook her mother.

——The abilities of the two people are no longer on the same level.

Wu Xiuhong was shocked when she heard what she said and asked Yan Xin: "Is what she said true?"

"It's true, she has indeed earned so much money," Yan Xin said, "because this month in addition to salary, a year-end bonus will be given. Although she has only been here for more than a month, the company itself has only been established for a few years.

Months of work, so she also received one-half of the year-end bonus, plus the original overtime salary, the total is three to four thousand. As for the outstanding employee award of 5,000 yuan, I also asked Feng Xi and said that she was in the company

Her performance is good and she deserves it.”

Wu Xiuhong was stunned for a while before digesting the news. She glanced at her daughter with relief in her eyes, but she did not praise her. Instead, she said to Yan Xin: "Thank you to Feng Xi. Without her, Xiaoling would not be able to find her."

Such a good job.”

Yan Xin smiled and said: "We are all from the same village. She happens to be short of people, and Xiaoling happens to need a job. We all get what we need. It's a win-win situation."

He also praised Bai Xiaoling: "The main reason is that Xiaoling is serious enough at work and deserves this job. If she is not suitable for this position, even a fellow villager will not be useful. If she should leave, she has to leave. She is in business."

, not for charity."

Wu Xiuhong smiled and said: "I didn't expect that this lazy girl could still work seriously after going out to work."

Bai Xiaoling was unconvinced: "Mom, I'm not lazy. I couldn't make money working in the countryside, and it was in vain. That's why I didn't do it."

Wu Xiuhong patted her: "Okay, I know you are capable."

Then he thought again and looked at Bai Xiaoling: "Since you have earned so much money, then according to our agreement, you should give me 5,000 yuan to save."

Bai Xiaoling's face suddenly turned bitter: "Ah? Didn't I say that I would save half of my salary for you? Do you also want to share my year-end bonus and the rewards for outstanding employees with me?"

"Of course we have to share it," Wu Xiuhong said, "The main reason is that I can't let you develop the habit of spending money lavishly. And I don't want this money from you. I will give it to you as a dowry when you get married. I just want to help you save it.

Isn’t it yours in the end?”

Bai Xiaoling said in a low voice: "You also said you would save the New Year's money for me in those years. You said you would give it to me when I want to use it. But every time I want to use it, the answer is two words, no money...

"

Wu Xiuhong's face turned red and she said, "When you get married, I'll give it to you together."

We were really short of money at that time, so we had to confiscate the children's New Year's money, which was a helpless move.

However, the New Year's money doesn't add up to much. She really didn't have that kind of spare money before, but now that she doesn't have to support her daughter's education, she can still save some money. It's not impossible to save the New Year's money.

"But money has depreciated..." Bai Xiaoling said.

Although I am very reluctant, I still have to come up with the money.

She has already received the cash reward of 5,000 yuan. The salary and year-end bonus were issued through the bank. They will not arrive until 10 o'clock this morning, and she has to go to the bank to withdraw them.

Moreover, there are bank fees for withdrawing money from other places, and she doesn’t want to withdraw it now.

Very depressed, she took out 5,000 yuan in cash from the suitcase, gave it to her mother, and said:

"Originally I wanted to use the money to buy an n95 mobile phone, but now my dream is shattered."

Wu Xiuhong rolled her eyes at her: "Isn't your mobile phone still usable? What kind of mobile phone should you buy? You have too much money to burn."

Bai Xiaoling pouted: "But I want a better mobile phone."

Yan Xin said from the side: "How about this, we go to the county town after the Chinese New Year, and I will give you a mobile phone then."

Bai Xiaoling became happy and hugged him:

"Brother, you are so kind!"

Wu Xiuhong glared at her: "I know how to take advantage of your brother!"

Then he said to Yan Xin: "Don't spoil her too much and develop her into the habit of spending money lavishly. That would be bad."

As he said this, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

Yan Xin smiled and said: "It's okay, a mobile phone is not enough. Xiaoling has grown up, and she has to save face when she goes to work. It is really not good to use this old mobile phone all the time. During the Chinese New Year, I, as an elder brother, also

If you don’t have any other gifts for her, just give her a mobile phone.”
