Chapter 255 I won’t accept this cowardice.

Tong Yao listened to the conversation between the two and thought: Uncle Zhang Lijuan has seized the opportunity to make money.

Don't look at the more than half a month before and after the Spring Festival travel period. Uncle Zhang can earn hundreds of dollars by driving back and forth to pick up people, which is much more than working in a factory.

What was said on the Internet in the past life is indeed correct. In this era, as long as you have the courage and brains to seize opportunities, you can make a little fortune by doing any small business, and your life will still be prosperous.

As long as you have money, you can live a good life no matter what age you are.

After a bumpy ride, the car finally arrived at the village at 8:10 pm. Si Chen gave Uncle Zhang three yuan, but Uncle Zhang pushed and refused to accept it. Seeing that Si Chen insisted on giving it, he reluctantly accepted it. Before leaving, he asked them

When will he go out after the New Year? Then he can drag a few people into the city.

Worried that Si Chen would misunderstand that he wanted to make money, he specifically explained: "You must not give me any more money then, otherwise you will look down on me as an uncle."

Zhang Lijuan married Si Boyi, and according to seniority, Si Chen also had to call him uncle.

Si Chen did not refuse. There were no buses from the village to the city. Although it was bumpy, it was very convenient to take Uncle Zhang's three-wheeled car. He said quietly: "We left on the 24th of the year before. Then we will trouble uncle."

As for money, it's a little early to say.

"What?" Uncle Zhang was a little surprised, "Why don't you go back home after the Chinese New Year?"

In this era, it is very rare for people to spend the New Year in a different place, especially in a family like Si Chen. His father is gone and he is the eldest brother. He must be at home to take charge of the overall situation during the New Year. If he is not at home, what can Lin Fengying and Si Boyi do?

?

Taking another look at Tong Yao next to him, he instantly understood that Si Chen married Jin Fenghuang from Kyoto, and most likely he was going back to Kyoto to be with his father-in-law. He said that Lin Fengying was also pitiful, having finally raised a son and had the ability to study.

No one knows that earning a living is being supported by other people's families.

well!

If it were him, he would rather his son couldn't go to college or enter the city than suffer this cowardice.

Seeing Uncle Zhang shaking his head and sighing, Si Chen probably guessed something. He didn't explain much and politely replied: "The hospital is on duty during the New Year, so I have to go back."

After saying this, he said goodbye to Uncle Zhang and led Tong Yao into the village.

Gu Hongwei followed the two people silently. Just now he saw that Uncle Zhang had misunderstood, but Si Chen was very calm and did not explain too much. Outsiders may not understand it, but he can understand it.

If it were him, he might not be too lazy to explain.

Ever since Si Chen married Tong Yao, there have been more controversies in the village. Some people envied Si Chen for going to college and marrying a city wife, while others ridiculed Si Chen for marrying the lazy Jin Fenghuang.

You can always say good things and bad things behind your back. If you care about other people's opinions, you have to stay in their corner all day long to prevent others from saying bad things behind their backs.

When they arrived at the village, Gu Hongwei said goodbye to Si Chen and Tong Yao, and then carried his things back home. He had very few things, just a cotton coat that had been patched several times in three years, and sweater and trousers.

Although it was after eight o'clock in the evening, it was snowing outside, and the white sky was as bright as the moonlight. When he was approaching the door of his house, he heard a cough. When he looked up, he saw his father standing at the door with a cane and looking forward to it.

Gu Hongwei felt sad for a while and walked forward a few steps quickly, "Dad, what are you doing standing here when it's snowing heavily?"

He saw a layer of snow falling on his father's body. He seemed to have been standing at the door for a while. He raised his hand and pulled the man into the house while patting the snow on his father's body.

Father Gu's eyesight was a little bad, and his vision in the distance was blurry. It wasn't until Gu Hongwei walked up to him that he realized that his son was back. A kind smile appeared on his haggard and weathered face, "You said you would be back today, but I saw it was already so late.

Before I came back, I went to the door to take a look. Is it frozen? There is steamed buns and porridge in the pot, and it's still hot. Eat some quickly to keep warm."

Father Gu is not in good health. He has been ill. Half of his body is paralyzed and he is not very flexible. He walks very slowly. He can barely take care of his daily life. He just guards the cold home alone and always feels a little lonely. But he

I never show it, because I am afraid that my son will worry about it and it will affect his study.

Now that the new year is approaching, my son is finally back, and his lonely face shows happiness from the bottom of his heart.

All the braziers in the room were extinguished, which showed how long his father had been standing outside. Gu Hongwei rekindled the fire, but kept his head down to prevent his father from noticing his red eyes.

Studying was the path he chose. Even though his relatives had persuaded him not to study and to stay at home to take care of his father, Gu Hongwei did not waver. He knew that for a poor family like theirs, there would be almost no way out if they did not study.

My father's health is getting worse day by day. In the future, hospitalization will cost money. It is impossible to rely on the two acres of land at home. He can only rely on his own efforts to find a way out for himself and his father.

Ever since Gu Hongwei went to college this year, his family's land has been cultivated by his relatives. They were given two bags of rice and thirty kilograms of sweet potatoes a year. Although it was not enough to make a living, it was still much better than leaving it unused. After Gu Hongwei went to Kyoto to study, Gu's father simply

I can no longer go to the fields to farm.

Fortunately, he found a job at school. If he is lucky and can get a scholarship next year, his family's life will be better.

Thinking of this, Gu Hongwei felt a little better. After living so long, he finally felt like he had a promising future.

Seeing him lighting a fire, Gu's father slowly went to the kitchen and took out the steamed buns. "It's still hot. You can eat the pickles quickly, and I'll get you a bowl of porridge."

"You sit and warm yourself by the fire for a while, I'll go." Gu Hongwei put down the tongs, ran to the kitchen and filled out two bowls of sweet potato porridge.

I ate three meat buns on the train and came back directly after getting off the train. Gu Hongwei was already hungry. After pulling up a stool and sitting down, he ate the steamed buns. Some green smoke came out of the brazier next to him. Gu's father's face was

The smoke reflected the weather even more, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

I thought my son would have a hard time at school, but when he came back after half a year in college, he seemed to be a little fatter and his face looked healthier than when he was at home.

Father Gu felt more at ease, but he still asked worriedly: "How are you doing at school? Have your classmates ever bullied you because our family is not good? You are not as good as at home when you are away from home. If you encounter anything you can endure, just endure it. Don't follow me."

If someone gets into a fight and we are poor, we can’t afford to pay compensation if we get into a fight and hurt someone.”

As he spoke, Gu's father started to cough. Gu Hongwei handed the porridge bowl to his hand. Seeing that he didn't cough anymore after drinking the porridge, he replied in a muffled voice.

"Dad, don't worry, no one will bully me."
