Chapter 46 Parents' Relief

In the past, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, most of the villagers would choose to rest for a few days, as a reward for their hard work for a year.Even many villagers will bring their wives and children into the city at this time, and go shopping in the city while buying new year's goods.

But this year's Fulin Village is much more lively than previous years.Du Xingwu, who was the busiest person in previous years, became the busiest person in the village this year.After decorating the owner's house, he was urged by the villagers of the west family.

Even the villagers who used to plan to stay at home for a few days were summoned to start construction.A large number of building materials were also transported to Fulin Island by cargo ships, and the whole village was also extremely lively.

Some women and children who have nothing to do will stay by the construction site to watch the fun.With only one day left in the new year, Fulin Village finally has street lights.Looking at the street lights lit up at night, many villagers feel that the village is really changing.

Especially those old people, when they saw the energy-saving street lamps lit up at night, they were also very relieved and said: "This lamp is pretty good, and you don't have to worry about falling when you walk at night. I didn't expect that Lin Lao could still see the village like this one day." !"

The praise of the old people is undoubtedly in support of the decision of the village cadres to some extent.Even if some villagers felt that the village cadres were spending money indiscriminately, they still seemed very happy after seeing the street lights turned on.

After all, as Xu Mingcheng said at the beginning of work, all of them will grow old one day.If it is impossible to move out of the village, after the street lamp is installed, it will be used by the elderly in the future.

The most important thing is that with these street lights, there is no need to worry about snakes popping up on the road in summer.Whether it is the elderly, children, or even villagers, they can all enjoy the benefits of lighting.

As for the wharf that is still under construction, many villagers with fishing boats also feel that it should be repaired.The pier has been repaired, and they don't have to worry about typhoons in the future, as the typhoon will blow away their fishing boats.

And on the same flat road in the village, with a large number of stones re-inserted on the stone road, many people feel that walking is much more comfortable.Even on rainy days, you don't have to worry about accidentally stepping into puddles or mud puddles.

Even some villagers who have renovated their houses look at the water heaters and toilets that they have spent money to install, and there are temporarily unoccupied rooms.While I feel that life is more convenient and comfortable, the children in the family are undoubtedly the happiest.

In the eyes of these children, the renovated home is no different from the one the adults said they moved into the city!

When Xu Liyan and Zhu Fen took two days off in advance, they planned to go back to the village for the new year.Seeing the slightly changed village, both of them felt very happy.Even before that, they had scolded Xu Haibao severely.

The reason is that Xu Haibao spent 20 yuan to buy an abandoned homestead in the village, which in the eyes of the two of them was completely reckless.Seeing the enthusiasm of the villagers and praising them for their good fortune, the two felt very gratified and proud.

Even when Xu Liyan came to the wharf construction site, Xu Mingcheng, who was organizing the villagers to work, said with a sigh: "Liyan, you have taught a good son! That kid's courage is much greater than that of our generation."

"Brother Cheng, that kid is just like that. Don't praise him. He never told me about the things he did in the village. That kid is bold and wild. If he really stays in the village in the future, you should help him a lot." Watch."

Although he moved to the city for some years, to Xu Liyan.If the children get married in the future, he thinks it is best to return to the fishing village to provide for the elderly.For him, living in a building in the city is not as comfortable as he imagined.

In contrast, Xu Liyan felt more cordial when staying in his old house.That old house was also built by himself and his father when he got married.Both children were born in this old house.

Returning fallen leaves to their roots is also Xu Liyan's wish.If I don't come back now, I also feel that the job in the city is good. The couple can earn some money a year, which can always reduce the burden on their children.After all, the son is not married, and the daughter has not graduated yet!
This situation is very common in many parents in China!
Compared with when Xu Liyan returned to the village, he went to the lively place in the village.Zhu Fen, who returned to her hometown, also felt quite happy seeing the completely changed old house.Most importantly, the house is very clean.

After staying at home and tidying up the room briefly, Zhu Fen also came to the third uncle's house not far from the door, and looked at the third aunt who was resting at home.As a sister-in-law, Zhu Fen also misses the situation of her cousin-in-law very much in the city.

Seeing the old house that was also renovated, Zhu Fen also smiled and said: "Not bad! It seems that Licheng finally knows how to live. Now that the house has been renovated, it looks much more comfortable. These days are better than staying in the city. It's all comfortable!"

"Sister-in-law, it's also thanks to Baowa. If he didn't make a fortune fishing with Baowa last time, he probably wouldn't be able to spend so much money. However, the house does look much brighter after being renovated."

"Don't mention that brat, buying the land in the deserted village, such a big thing, he took out the money without telling us. Such a big man doesn't know how to be frugal at all. With 20 yuan, he can buy a house with a down payment in the city !"

Regarding Zhu Fen's complaints, the third aunt smiled and said, "Actually, I think Baowa has a lot of ideas! When he came back last time, many people in the village said that he had nothing to do all day and wandered around the village every day.

But who knows, he has been thinking about attracting tourists when he returned to the village.Really want to say, this child Baowa is nostalgic.Go out now, who doesn't give a thumbs up!It is also your blessing that he is willing to stay in the village.

If you and your elder brother don't work and go back to the village to take care of yourselves in the future, and you don't have any children to accompany you, then you won't be able to stay.Thinking about your baby, looking at my star baby, not too far away from home, but I just don't have time to come back.

It is said that raising children is to prevent old age. If this continues, I would rather let Xingwa go back to the village.It's not a problem to have no children by your side.When we are really old, can we still go to the city by boat every day to find them? "

The situation that the third aunt mentioned is actually very common in the village.In the early years, some people always said that they hoped that their children would be able to enter the city if they were promising.But many promising children who have moved to the city mostly left their parents in the village.

It's not that those children are not filial, but that many older parents don't want to go to the city at all.In the eyes of these old people, they would rather stay in the village and go out to sea with a fishing boat to cast a couple of nets without any problems.

When I entered the city, I was locked in a cage-like building every day, and I couldn't chat with others.Staying in the village, both adults and children know each other.When you go out and look around, you can always find someone to chat with.This kind of life is what many old people need.

It's just that many times, when the villagers see these old people, they don't see their children returning home all year round, and they feel sorry for them.The children are promising, but they can't honor their parents.Is this kind of future really what the old people want?
Hearing Third Aunt's words, although Mother Xu felt that it made sense, she still said: "Don't mention that kid! I know that I came here with his father today, and I took the girl around. During the time when they went home, there was a lot. May I trouble you?"

"Sister-in-law, we are all one family, so why bother to talk about two different languages? If I really want to say it, I really like them staying in the village. If there is nothing to do, that girl Xiaoya will come to talk to me, I am so happy!

Alas, it's all my fault for not being able to live up to expectations. If I could still have a girl back then, I guess I would wake up laughing from my dreams.Give birth to a son, and you can't see it several times throughout the year. I really don't know what is the use of having a son! "

In the mouths of many mothers, the child is the good of other people's family after all.But if someone really provokes their children, these mothers will let those who hurt their children know that their children are the best in the world.

In fact, it's not that the brothers and sisters who are staying on Xiadao don't want to pick up their parents.More Xu Haibao knew that no matter how much he talked about some things, it was better to let his parents experience the atmosphere of the village in person.

Although this time, in the eyes of many people, including his parents, Xu Haibao was once taken advantage of by "many people are stupid with money", but Xu Haibao believes that after his parents return to the village, there is no need for him to say anything. The value of the flower.

Parents are more concerned about 20 yuan. If parents know that there are dozens of '20 yuan' hidden in the old house, they will not be angry when they think about it.After all, the money was earned by Xu Haibao, and the 20 yuan was not spent indiscriminately.

At least one thing Xu Haibao knows very well, that is, in the eyes of his parents, they also hope that Xu Haibao will not forget his roots.Even if the family moved to the city, they must not forget that their family came from a fishing village.

Now that I can do something for the village without hurting Xu Haibao, I believe my parents will understand Xu Haibao's hard work.Coupled with the specially prepared food these days, Xu Haibao believes that this scolding should be able to escape.

After all, as a son, Xu Haibao didn't want his parents to be angry.But some things can be explained by words alone, and parents who care too much may not be able to listen to them.Slowing down a little bit is more conducive to solving internal conflicts in the family!
