Reborn since 2005

Chapter 7 Farewell

On July 29, Yan Xin embarked on the road to work.

It was early in the morning. I set off right after breakfast. I carried a big backpack on my back and two bags in my hands, both of which were stuffed with stuff.

While waiting for the bus at the intersection, his father was also there, and he never stopped talking, saying some words over and over again for countless times.

The main thing is to tell him to be careful when going out, not to get angry with others, not to get into bad habits such as gambling and prostitution, not to work too hard, and not to be too frugal.

He also said that he should not be so anxious about building a house, as he could make some money at home.

Money still needs to be spent.

I have said these words countless times a few days ago, and now I say them again and again, fearing that my son will suffer a loss if he doesn't listen.

It wasn't like this in my previous life.

The relationship between father and son in his previous life was very bad. Yan Xin was very disgusted with his father. When he was waiting for the bus, his father did not come over - for fear of annoying him.

It wasn't until the car started driving that Yan Xin saw his father standing in a cotton field on the side of the road holding a hoe, looking at the car.

The face also moves with the position of the car.

Until they couldn't see each other.

When such a scene fell into Yan Xin's eyes, he felt nothing.

But many years later, it became a thorn in his memory.

At that time, my father probably had a lot of things he wanted to say to him, but he didn't say them out.

At this moment, listening to his father repeating those words over and over, Yan Xin did not feel bored. Instead, he felt that it was a very happy thing to have such a person nagging him.

He also couldn't help but tell his father:

"I don't study now. I can go out and make money on my own. The financial pressure on my family is not so great anymore. You don't have to work as hard as before. It's almost enough. You have to rest when you need to. Don't hold on."

"Also, the light in the room you live in is not good. I'm not at home anymore, so you can stay in my room - it won't work if the room is always unoccupied, right?"

"The food should be better in the future. If you don't see any meat all year round, why do you have to eat meat several times a month? How can you be malnourished?"

Finally, Yan Xin also showed his trump card:

"I will get married and have children in the future, and I will ask you to help take care of the children. You must not destroy your body. Who will I expect to be there then?"

Although he doesn't know who he should marry and have children with in this life, it's okay to draw a cake for his father and ask him to pay more attention to his body in the name of his grandson.

When his father heard what he said, he said that he would pay attention to his health in the future.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the car came and Yan Xin said goodbye to his father and got on the car.

After putting away his luggage and getting in the car, his father shouted to him outside the window: "Be careful when going out!"

"I know," Yan Xin said, "You should also pay attention to your health."

The car started, and my father stood there watching the car drive away.

Yan Xin was also looking at his father from the car window.

A lot has been said, but it still feels like there is still a lot left unsaid.

When I went out to work in my previous life, I didn't have so many feelings. Instead, I felt that I had gotten rid of that suffocating family, gained freedom, and was full of longing for the future life.

It was only many years later that I discovered that the thing I was most attached to was actually the thing I hated the most at the beginning.

There are no minibuses from the village to the city, only those that go to the county town. Once they arrive at the county town, they transfer to the city, and then take a train to their destination, a town in a prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province.

There were a dozen people riding out together, most of them from their village, and a few from neighboring villages.

They live in different production teams and ride to different locations.

The car drove for more than a mile, and when it reached another intersection, Feng Chen got in the car.

His parents and sister came to see him off and put him in the car.

Seeing Yan Xin, Feng’s mother even said hello to him:

"Xiao Yan, you are a good friend of my Xiaochen. You should take care of each other outside."

Yan Xin hated this woman, but he still had a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, we will take care of each other."

He saw Feng Xi outside the car window. The two exchanged glances for a moment, and then Yan Xin looked away.

The car drove more than a hundred meters, and Yan Xin looked back and saw Feng Xi still looking over here.

I thought to myself: "Although she often heard her complaining about her brother in her previous life, saying that her brother's suicide had delayed her life, the relationship between them is really good."

He has no brothers or sisters and cannot understand such emotions, so he feels quite envious.

The minibus stopped at two more intersections before collecting all the people who were going out to work this time.

Some of those people were known to Yan Xin, and some were not. They were basically all eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys like him and Feng Chen.

But there was also a man in his thirties who took leave specifically to come back to engage in double robbery. After he was done, he continued to work and brought some people from his hometown to work to earn some extra money.

This team that went out to work was led by this person.

This man's surname is Wang, everyone calls him Lao Wang. He works on a construction site. Every time he brings someone to work as a laborer, the boss will give him a hundred yuan in benefits.

For those people in the village who have never gone out to look for work, having something to do is better than looking for a job in a strange place alone.

This is a win-win situation, everyone benefits.

Yan Xin set out with these people in his previous life, but there was no Feng Chen in the team in his previous life, only twelve people.

With one more Feng Chen in this life, there are thirteen people.

Lao Wang counted the number of people and confirmed that everyone was here. He asked everyone to introduce each other in the car, and also told them some things about working on the construction site, which jobs were easier, which jobs were more tiring, and which jobs were more profitable.

Which job is more dangerous?

According to him, if you work hard on the construction site and earn more than a thousand yuan a month, there is no problem.

If you are motivated and learn some skills while working, your income will be even higher.

Everyone listened very carefully, including Feng Chen.

Yan Xin didn't listen carefully.

He had listened to what he should have heard in his previous life, and it didn't make any sense.

Because when he arrived at that construction site in his previous life, he only moved bricks for a day, and then found that his physical strength could not hold up such a promising job, so he decisively chose to leave and found a job as a community security guard locally.

In this life, he doesn't want to move bricks there.

I didn't do the job of moving bricks in my previous life because I was young and ignorant and couldn't bear the hardship.

He didn't want to do that work in this life because he knew that the construction site maliciously owed wages. This group of people who went there did not get their wages during the Chinese New Year.

In June of the following year, they made several troubles and finally got their wages.

Yan Xin didn't want to step into this trap.

Thanks to my elder sister who likes Shenyinya for the tip.
