Chapter 817 Being a parent (2)

"Why, my child has to work and study?"

"And his classmates can play happily, enjoy their youth, go to the library to read books, go to the basketball court to play basketball, and meet three or five classmates to take the road."

"Why, my child can only eat steamed buns? And his classmates can enjoy afternoon tea, Western steak, and orange drinks."

"Why should my child have to work two jobs?"

"Why..."

Chen Xiaoqiao squatted down, covered his face tightly, and still murmured in his mouth: "Why?"

Zhang Kun looked at Chen Xiaoqiao silently and vented his emotions. He didn't say anything. It took a long time before Chen Xiaoqiao wiped away the tears on his face and stood up, but his face was still red.

He looked at Zhang Kun as if he was asking and answering himself.

"Why, because of my incompetent father, he has to bear these things that shouldn't have to bear at his age."

"As a parent, I don't say that I can give my children a small cart and a villa, but at least I should let my children have no worries about food and clothing and have a complete and beautiful youth. But what did I do in my life?"

"I worked hard for more than 20 years, but I had to borrow even the tuition for my children."

"When you go out, you don't want your children to have a rich and generous meal, but you can't be a steamed bun every meal."

"A home that should have been raised by me is now half the burden of a child who has not grown up."

"Do you know? I asked at that steamed bun stall, do you know the guy who bought steamed buns just now? Do you know what the steamed bun master said?"

"'How come I don't know you, Tsinghua University, the Department of Geological Survey, a sophomore year, and an old acquaintance. I said that my steamed buns are delicious and I won't get tired of eating them no matter how much I eat them. I buy them at least thirty or forty times every month, and old customers."

"The steamed buns are delicious? I like them too. However, thirty or forty times a month, I get almost two times a day on average. No matter how delicious the food is, I'm tired of eating it."

"Why, it's cheap, you can take care of it for one dollar."

"You know, how it felt when I heard this?"

"I wish I could kill myself." Chen Xiaoqiao gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.

"What's the use of living like this?"

Chen Xiaoqiao cried bitterly and cried for a long time. Chen Xiaoqiao took a deep breath and wiped away his tears again.

He looked at Zhang Kun: "In theory, he doesn't have to work so hard. I give him enough tuition every time. Although I don't give a lot of living expenses every month, I can eat 300 yuan in the school cafeteria, but the food is not too good."

"Each meal costs three yuan, and there are still meat and vegetarian food. The cafeteria is not expensive. If you eat two vegetarian dishes occasionally and accumulate them, you can still eat chicken legs once a week, but why?"

"He works two jobs a day, and he eats steamed buns and white water every day, making money and saving money. What do he want to do?"

"What does he want to do?"

“What are you doing?”

Chen Xiaoqiao asked himself three times in a row, then shouted suddenly: "He wants to help me pay back the money, he wants to earn his four-year tuition fee and save it."

"It's obvious that one should be my responsibility, but he asked him to take it."

Chen Xiaoqiao stared blankly at the surface of the stream and was silent for a long time.

After a while, Chen Xiaoqiao continued.

"When I returned from Yanjing that time, I locked myself up at home for two days, and I was reflecting on myself."

"Are I wrong in my life?"

"At this point, I still don't regret my choice in the first half of my life. I don't regret giving up the opportunity to stay in Yanjing. I don't regret choosing to join the geological survey team. I don't regret sticking to my job for the past twenty years."

"Just like what my father said during his lifetime, it is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen to be born to the Chinese and to contribute to the construction of the motherland, so I don't regret it."

"I dedicated my life to this country. For it, I have traveled 210,000 square kilometers of land, worn out nearly two hundred pairs of shoes, and found fifty-four mineral veins. I feel that I have fulfilled my responsibilities and obligations as a citizen of the People's Republic of China."

"I have dedicated myself, and I have no regrets, but you cannot let me contribute myself and my descendants." Chen Xiaoqiao said angrily.

"My father participated in the Anti-Japanese War in order to defend his motherland. I devoted my life to the construction of his motherland. Then, my son, my father's grandson, has the right to enjoy the beauty of the motherland after its prosperity."

"The predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the cool. The trees planted by my father and I were enough for my son to enjoy the cool."

"China is not my own China." After Chen Xiaoqiao roared, his voice slowly lowered again.

"So, since then, I began to look for opportunities to go into business after work. Whether it is doing it myself or helping others, as long as I can make money, I always have to leave something for my son in my life."

"At this time, a headhunting company found me and hoped that a group of people would go to find a vein. If you agree, you would immediately give 100,000 yuan. The work will last for three months. After three months, no matter whether the vein is found or not, as long as you can come back safely, you will give another 100,000 yuan."

"And if you can find the ore veins by chance, each person will be one million!"

"I won't say the one million, and I won't even say the one hundred thousand that comes back, just say I'll give it a hundred thousand as long as I agree."

"How much is a hundred thousand? Maybe it's not enough for some leaders to make a meal, but what is it for me? It's a qualification to let my children stand on the same starting line with other peers again. It's the capital for my children to do business, work, or make progress in the future."

"So, no matter what, I have to get it. Even if I know that South Africa is very dangerous, and this one hundred thousand yuan is the settlement fee, I am very likely to go without going back, but I finally agreed."

"I came, and then as you see, I stayed on this land forever, and there was no chance to go back."

ps: Today's Chapter 4, I started typing since I got up at five o'clock in the morning, and I never stopped except for an hour of lunch.

In the past thirteen hours, Situ really tried his best. He only slept for five hours last night. Today, he relied on coffee to maintain his energy during his typing.

Saying so much is not about complaining, but about telling everyone that I really have worked hard to write.

There will be a fifth chapter in the evening, but I can’t guarantee the sixth chapter. In short, I will post it if I can write it out. I won’t do anything to save the manuscript. I will post as much as I write it. If I have saved it, I will easily slack off.

Finally, I apologize again. I have been updating these days. I am sorry for everyone.
Chapter completed!
