The all-powerful wife of the wealthy family

Chapter 114 The Father and the Son
Zhou Zhou washed in the bathroom for a long time, the underwear Wu Tong bought for him was delivered, and the ordered meals also arrived.

Zhou Zhou hadn't finished washing until the food was completely cold.

"Did you fall asleep inside?" Wu Tong knocked on the door and asked.

Zhou Zhou quickly replied, "No, I'm too dirty, I need to rub more."

Wu Tong laughed: "Take it easy, don't faint in it."

"I see..." Zhou Zhou's voice came out mixed with the sound of water.

When Wu Tong was helping Zhou Zhou tidy up his desk, he was attracted by a manuscript.

Could it be that Zhou Zhou himself has drawn a draft now?

In the early years, Wu Tong had seen Zhou Zhou's sketches and watercolors, so he recognized his style and brushwork.

Wu Tong was very sure that this manuscript was undoubtedly drawn by Zhou Zhou.

Great progress, Wu Tong admired as he flipped through.

Wu Tong couldn't help reading it, and was quickly attracted by the story above, and finally found a few pieces of paper on the last page with dense words written on them.

Dad, where are you?
Mom asked me to write this story for her to read, she misses you so much, and I miss you so much—

Zhou Chunfu has not been home for the New Year for three years.

He waited and waited, counted and saved money, and finally made it to the end of the day.

He still clearly remembered the wrinkled smile on Foreman Liu's greasy face when he told everyone the good news.

At that time, everyone was hurrying to eat dinner. Zhou Chunfu squatted next to a small mound, holding the rice bowl with his left hand.That rice bowl was bought by Chunfu's girlfriend Chen Fang ten years ago. The yellow paint has almost faded, and Chunfu has always regarded it as a treasure.Every time he eats, Chunfu will regard the food in the jar as Xiaofang's cooking, so it tastes extra delicious.

When everyone was complaining about the poor food, Chunfu was chewing like a delicacy.

In fact, at that time, there was only half-cooked rice, unsalty boiled cabbage, and overly salty mustard in the rice jar.

Chunfu ate very quickly. After he finished eating, he still squatted down, waiting for everyone.

He saw Foreman Liu walked around twice with a smile on his face, and then stood in the middle of everyone.

Chunfu knew that Foreman Liu had something to say.

Chunfu also knew that Foreman Liu wanted to talk about the New Year.

He wanted to hear good news, and he did hear good news.

Foreman Liu carefully combed the few hairs on the top of his head, cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone is eating and listening, this year you want to go home for the New Year, right? Haven't you been home for several years? gone?"

Someone at the bottom muttered dissatisfiedly, if you don't pay your wages, go back home, and you won't be kicked to death by your wife.

Foreman Liu has a thief look on his face. Chunfu knows that there should be something to do this year.

"Just take your lifeblood and wait to go home and hold your wife! The superiors said that your team can leave after finishing the work at hand."

What about the wages?When will it be sent?This is the question that everyone is most concerned about.

"Don't worry, after you finish these tasks, it will be sent to you the next day, and you can go home for the New Year."

How much?Chunfu knew in his heart that not all of them would be handed out.

Uh... Foreman Liu rubbed his hands together, with a fake smile, and then said: "I wanted you to keep working, because it's not finished yet! Uh... But, considering everyone's mood, this year Take a few days off for you to relax, go home to be filial to the elderly, and look at the children. The money...of course not all, half as agreed before, and the remaining half when you come back to do all the work After finishing, I will send it to you after the review is passed. Don’t worry, you won’t lose a penny. How lucky you are, there are many construction sites where no one will be let go.”

After finishing work that night, Chunfu walked for more than three hours to the train station.Originally, there was a bus from the construction site to the train station, but there was no evening bus for this bus, and Chunfu was reluctant to take it, so he had to work hard on his tired legs.

Because Chunfu didn't know the way very well, he could only ask questions while walking.

At one or two o'clock in the morning, there were not many pedestrians, only young men and women who occasionally walked out of bars and nightclubs.Enthusiastic people would point out Chunfu, while impatient people would forcefully say "I don't know" and walk away reeking of alcohol.

Sometimes, a group of people patronize and fight, and they don't even hear what Chunfu asked.At that time, Chunfu just stood there like a stake, at a loss for what to do.

When the crowd dispersed, Chun Fu came to his senses and continued walking forward.

Chunfu found sadly that some "well-meaning people" pointed the wrong way.He turned around like this, and finally saw the big clock in front of the train station.

To Chunfu's relief, there were not many people queuing up at that time.

Chunfu sat on the ground, feeling very sleepy.

But Chunfu didn't dare to sleep, he was afraid that the queue would disappear when he fell asleep.

Chunfu was also worried that the saved money would disappear. If the money was stolen, he would not even be able to buy a train ticket.

Since I don't sleep, I always have to find something to do, but there is really nothing to do.

Chunfu just thought about what gift he would bring to Xiaofang when he went home. He and Xiaofang were baby relatives appointed by the two parents.Chunfu was only two months older than Xiaofang, and they went to elementary school together.However, their village is too closed, there is not even a decent teacher, and their Mandarin is not standard.

Xiaofang later learned needlework from her mother and became a tailor.

Chunfu didn't want to spend his whole life farming at home, facing the loess and backing the mountains all his life, so he ran to the city alone.

That year, Chunfu was 16 years old, and Xiaofang was also 16 years old.

In the village, you can get married at this age, but Chunfu asked Xiaofang to wait for him to marry her when he came back from the city after earning money, Xiaofang nodded.

Although her parents were against it, Xiaofang insisted. She decided to wait, and she waited for ten years.

Xiaofang has never regretted it.

Chunfu felt very guilty. He had only been home once in the past ten years, and that was three years ago.

At that time Chunfu went back empty-handed, Xiaofang didn't blame him, but felt that Chunfu had suffered too much outside.

My parents didn't blame him either, they just said that if you feel tired, you can do some work in the village. There are many things that you can't ask for or fight for.

Chunfu doesn't want much, and he is not a greedy person. He just wants to make some changes, let Xiaofang see a bigger world, and let his children have more choices and enrichment in the future. life.

Chunfu thought about it, but didn't think of what to buy to take home, and finally he couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a daze.

When Chunfu woke up, the ticket window had just opened, he subconsciously touched his underwear pocket, the money was still there.

Chunfu looked around and saw that the queue was still there, so he finally let go of his whole heart.

The ticket purchase went smoothly. Although it was just a standing ticket, Chunfu was very content.

Hearing that many people couldn't even get standing tickets, Chunfu felt that his luck was still very good, and God still had mercy on him, although he didn't think he was so pitiful.

Chunfu put the red ticket in his pocket, and took the bus back to the construction site.

In a few days, the work of years ago will be over.

Because of the rush, everyone has worked very hard these days.

Soon, most of the people went home. Chunfu didn't expect the work to be completed so quickly. Even if he thought about it, he couldn't buy a suitable ticket. He already bought the earliest one.

But there were still three days before the train that Chunfu bought, and the shed they used to live in had already been rented out to other engineering teams.

Chunfu can no longer live in the original place.

Chunfu was carrying his own luggage, not knowing where to go.

Where should we go for these three days?Where should I live?

Chunfu thought that he should call his family first, they would be very happy.

The village has installed a telephone, and three or five families share one. Chunfu can call the next-door neighbor's house, and then ask his parents to answer.

You can also call Xiaofang's home and ask her to tell her parents.

Xiaofang is from his own family, so Chunfu would naturally choose to call Xiaofang.

Chunfu originally planned to enter the waiting room early and stay in the train station for three days.There are too many people during the Spring Festival, even if you sleep on the ground, it will not look very abrupt.He bought a lot of steamed buns outside the construction site, enough to fill him up for three days.

However, unexpectedly, the security checkpoint was very strict, and he was not allowed to enter when he found that he did not have the ticket for the day.

Chunfu explained for a long time, spent a lot of words, but failed to convince the awe-inspiring staff member. Instead, he was stared at by many passengers because he took up too much space in the narrow passage.

Chunfu had no choice but to walk out the same way, against the direction of the flow of people, he had a hard time walking, and from time to time he heard people shouting, "I'm sick, why are you still going out?" Xixi things." "Go to the side, get out of the way!"

Chunfu finally squeezed out, really sweating all over.

After walking for a long time, Chunfu was pleasantly surprised to find "Public Phone" written on the door and window of a small supermarket.He went in and asked about the price, which was RMB 1 per minute. He thought to himself that it would be best to end the call within 1 minute.Chunfu's luggage was sluggishly blocked at the door, occupying a large area, and the faces of many people passing by clearly showed disgust.

No one answered the first call, but luckily, there is no charge, Chunfu thought to himself.

Chunfu called again, and after several beeps, he heard Xiaofang's long-lost voice.

"Hey?"

"Xiaofang, I'm Chunfu. I'll be home in three days. You can talk to my parents. If you have anything to say, talk about it when you get home. I'm dead."

"Hey... Chun..." Before the blessing word could be passed on, it was cut off abruptly by Chun Fu.

Chunfu put down the phone and handed the cashier a one-yuan steel coin.

Chunfu deliberately didn't look at the other person's expression, didn't care about the other person's attitude, picked up his luggage and left.

There was actually nothing in Chunfu's luggage, nor was it very heavy.

Things are packed in big woven bags, so they look very bulging, and the bags are not very clean, so they are not popular with people in the city.

Many people are afraid of touching their expensive clothes, and carefully avoid them.

Those who didn't have time to notice that they accidentally bumped into it will inevitably utter a few dirty words.

In fact, Chunfu is very cautious, and he doesn't want to rub dirty things on anyone. Every time he is treated maliciously, it is a soft knife inserted into his heart.

Dull pain, no pain to cry out.

Chunfu pays attention to the women passing by, the pairs of beautiful high-heeled shoes, casual shoes, jeans and pencil pants that can show off a woman's figure, and all kinds of skirts with different styles.

Chunfu thought, if Xiaofang saw it, she would be very envious and yearn for it.However, he can't afford all of this now, and he doesn't know if he can afford it in the future.

Chunfu saw his shadow in the window of the roadside clothing store, and then looked at all kinds of men on the street. What is the difference? What caused his life to be completely different from others?

The first thing Chunfu thought of was knowledge, because without a diploma, he would not be able to do many jobs, and no one would be willing to give a chance to someone who doesn't know anything.

Chunfu also doesn't have any skills, so he can only sell his labor.

But Chunfu thought, can all this change?For the first time in ten years, he thought of this question.

Chunfu thought that there would be no future if he continued to work on the construction site.

From the reflection in the shop window, Chunfu saw the inner insufficiency, the lack of a kind of spiritual support.

So even if you put a straight suit on him, it will only be nondescript, just a clown.

However, Chunfu still doesn't know how to enrich this inner thing, no one reminds him, and no one gives him any advice.

These issues should be considered slowly, and the most urgent thing is to choose a gift for Xiaofang and her parents, and buy some New Year's goods.

Chunfu put his luggage on his back and continued to walk forward blindly.He subconsciously avoided crowded places to avoid unnecessary collisions.

When he saw a certain bank, Chunfu thought that he should withdraw the money first. In the past, they were all given cash. This time, Foreman Liu sent them a card, saying that the money would be credited to the card.

Chunfu stood in front of the ATM machine, and it took him a long time to insert the card into the card slot, and followed the instructions on the screen, but to his surprise, he was not paid half of the wages as agreed, but only a quarter of the wages. One's wages.

Looking at the number displayed on the balance, Chunfu was a little angry and desperate. He suddenly understood why he didn't give cash this time but gave them a card and let them pick it up by themselves.

Now back to the construction site, no one can be found.

Chunfu stood in front of the ATM for a long time, his eyes were dry and dry, but his heart was full of bitterness.

So much hard work, but only in exchange for this little reward.

Chunfu hates, but he doesn't complain about anyone.

Chunfu knows that he is just a foil to this world now, whether he accepts it or not, the reality is like this.

Chunfu didn't intend to be like some workers reported in the newspaper, who would get bloody and lose money and life in order to ask for wages.

Although it is not the best choice to endure and compromise, it is not a wise move, but it is too stupid to hit a stone with a pebble.

Although Chunfu doesn't have much knowledge, he still understands that people need to know themselves and see the situation clearly.

This is what Chunfu experienced with his blood and sweat after ten years abroad.

Although only such a small amount of money could be exchanged in three years, it was really in my hands after all.

Chunfu is still content.

Chunfu looked at the colorful clothes in the store, and really wanted to buy one for Xiaofang, but he didn't know what size of clothes or shoes Xiaofang wore.

Some clothes bought back, even if the size is right, Xiaofang may not be able to wear them, and in the village, people will point out and say that they are not serious.

Chunfu thought, he should buy some practical things. Xiaofang is a tailor, so she must use scissors often. Xiaofang's scissors must be very old.

Chunfu was excited about this idea of ​​his own, and wanted to give himself a good applause.

Chunfu walked into a stationery store and asked the boss for the best scissors, and finally bought three pairs of scissors of different sizes.

Chunfu was very happy, with a naive smile on his face. At this time, Chunfu was in a good mood and wanted to talk more.

"Boss, these are the best scissors."

"Boss, is there any better scissors than this?"

"Boss, are these three sizes?"

"Hehe, that's great, that's great."

"Boss, is there anything better than this?"

Chunfu walked round and round in the stationery store, afraid of missing a better pair of scissors.

At first, the boss responded with a few words, but then he just kept silent.

The boss is still a gentle person. If he met a hot-tempered and impatient master, he would have been kicked out a long time ago.

Chunfu returned to the street after shopping to his heart's content, and found a dessert stand selling puffs next to him.Chunfu thought of the time when Foreman Liu's wife went to the construction site to find Foreman Liu, and he was the one who showed him the way. In order to express her gratitude, the woman poured some in Chunfu's hands. Something white popped out of it, startling him.

He remembered that this little thing was so fragrant and sweet, it would be great if Xiaofang and her mother could eat it, it was soft and sweet, they would love it to death.

Chunfu first asked for a catty, but later found that a catty didn't look like much, and then asked for half a catty.

Chunfu happily carried the puff bag and continued to move forward.
