Chapter 49 Father’s relief

On the night after sending the money back, Yan Xin also called his father.

I still called the owner of the canteen in the same group and asked him to pass on the message.

It was around seven o'clock in the evening when I made the call, which was right at dinner time. There was no need to go to the field to find someone, and it was easy to notify the person.

The second time he called, his dad answered the phone.

"Xiaoxin, what do you want from me?" When his father opened his mouth, he was worried that something would happen to him.

Telephone bills are quite expensive nowadays. In his father's mind, if there is nothing important, there is no need to call. Calling means that there is something very important.

All you talk about is money, which is a bit hard to accept for someone who has been frugal all his life.

"It's like this. I paid my salary yesterday. After deducting the cost of food and accommodation, I paid more than 700 yuan." Yan Xin said.

Before he finished speaking, his father was happy: "You can make so much money now!"

"Well, more than seven hundred yuan is not too much. I can make more money in the future," Yan Xin said.

"You are already better at farming than me." His father said with emotion.

There was some relief and some confusion in the voice.

If you have been cultivating the land all your life, you will only be able to cultivate the land.

After a year of hard work, I can't make much money.

As for my son, who just graduated from high school and is less than nineteen years old, when he goes out to work, he earns more money every month than he does.

I was relieved, but also thought: "I am really useless. I have been a farmer for decades, but I can't even compare to my son who just went out to work."

Suddenly, I felt a sense of being eliminated by this era.

Yan Xin was not aware of his old father's sense of loss that he found himself behind the times, and said in a brisk tone:

"My company here provides food and accommodation, so it's useless to keep so much money. I'm also worried that I will spend it randomly, so I left more than two hundred yuan for myself, and I will give you the other five hundred yuan."

I sent it over."

His father was startled: "You just keep the money yourself. If there is an emergency, you can take it out and use it. Why do you send it back?"

Yan Xin said: "Don't my family still owe other people money? If you can pay back a little, just pay back a little."

"It's just a few thousand yuan. Now that you don't study anymore, you can pay it back when the late rice is sold and the cotton is sold. You don't need to send money back." His father said.

Although his father has never gone out to work, he also knows the difficulties of going out. If you don't have any money on hand, it will be difficult if you have a headache and fever.

This is his son, and he doesn't want his son to suffer like that because he has no money.

"If you have as much money as you have, just save it. I'll save it regularly every year. I might spend the money indiscriminately, and then I won't have the money to build a house." Yan Xin said with a smile.

He explained again: "Dad, after you withdraw the money, go to the post office to open an account and deposit the money. When the time comes, tell me the account and transfer the money directly. That will be more convenient."

"Just keep the money for yourself. You don't have to send it home in the future," his father said.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll keep the living expenses. I'll provide food and accommodation here, so why are you worried about me?" Yan Xin said, "I won't send too much, it's only five hundred yuan a month. Wait for me

Once we save 10,000 yuan, we will start preparing to build a house."

Ten thousand yuan is definitely not enough to build a house, even if it is just a brick house, his father understands this.

But based on the saving rate of 500 yuan a month, it would take 20 months or more than a year to save 10,000 yuan.

In more than a year, my family was able to save a few thousand yuan, and then borrow a little more to scrape together twenty to thirty thousand yuan, which was enough to build a brick house.

——It’s very difficult to borrow money when you can’t get it. Even if you are willing to pay a higher interest rate, not many people dare to borrow. Others will worry that they will not even receive their principal.

However, it is relatively easy for people who can earn money to borrow money from others.

When Yan Xin was studying, he was still a very unmotivated person in everyone's opinion. He couldn't see the future of the family, and indeed few people were willing to lend money to his family.

But now that Yan Xin has gone out to work and knows how to send money home, it shows that he is sensible, knows how to make money, and has a certain ability to repay. It is not a big deal to borrow tens of thousands of dollars, as long as he pays interest.

.

His father didn't have much idea. As long as he could build a solid brick house, he didn't dare to think about building a building. It was beyond the capabilities of his father and son.

What his father didn't expect was that Yan Xin's idea was not to build a brick house or even a building, but to build a villa.

Sending money home just makes him feel at ease.

It is not convenient to talk about the distribution of royalties and dividends now, but Yan Xin still understands the principle of keeping money secret.

After talking about sending money, Yan Xin asked about his father's current situation, how his physical condition was, and how his food was. He advised him not to be too tired and to eat meat at least once a week, but not to put his body at risk.

It was ruined.

We talked for about ten minutes in total. His father reminded him several times that the phone bill was too expensive and he should stop talking. Then he hung up the phone.

When Yan's father answered the phone, there were several people playing cards nearby who were listening. When they heard the conversation between father and son, they all praised Yan Xin for growing up, becoming sensible, having a sense of responsibility, and knowing that he felt sorry for his father.

Yes. He said that Father Yan has worked hard for most of his life and will be blessed in the future.

Although Yan's father didn't want his son to be harsh on him outside, he still felt quite happy when he heard those people praise his son so much.

——When people mentioned his son before, they were always talking about the one who failed to live up to his expectations. He didn’t study hard in school or work hard at home. His family was so poor and he still lived heartlessly, just like a person with a long life.

When I heard it, I felt really uncomfortable.

What's even more uncomfortable is that what people say is the truth, and there is no way to refute it even if you want to.

Now his son has changed, and the neighbors' evaluation of him has also changed. For him, this is the most fulfilling thing.

——He himself has fallen behind this era, and he can only place hope on his son for the future.

A son who is sensible and can earn money is better than anything else.

After ending the call, he walked home alone and looked at the dilapidated house. In the past, he could only see despair in it, a fate that could not be overcome no matter how hard he tried, but now, he actually saw hope for a new life.

.

The next day, this middle-aged man, who looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, went up to the hill and sat alone by his deceased wife's grave, talking a lot.

In the past, when I was feeling extremely depressed, I would go to the grave of my deceased wife and talk about how my son was doing, how my family was doing, and how I felt about the pain in my heart.

Sometimes I burst into tears as I talked, complaining that I was useless and could not take good care of my son as my late wife had asked me to do.

This time, all the nagging talk was about the son. However, this time he was not complaining, but telling his late wife that her son had become sensible, knew that she felt sorry for him as a father, and knew that he had taken responsibility. He had only gone out to work for more than two months.

I sent money home.

This should be considered good news.

Just talking, tears suddenly burst into tears:

"Shujuan... you said, if you are alive, it would be great to see our son grow up, become sensible, and be filial to you!"

Thanks to Ying Jun for the reward, please give me your monthly vote!
