Chapter 7 Simple Happiness
His son works at the Workers' Cultural Palace and is a formally established employee. This is what Sun Tao's parents are most proud of.
Sun Tao remembered how excited his parents were when he went for an internship, and they kept telling him to work hard and seize the opportunity.
He remembered telling them last month that he had signed a labor contract, and as long as he didn't make any big mistakes within three months, the work was basically settled. From that day on, his father's back was stiff when he went to work in the town. His voice became louder, and his mother began to visit every house on her own initiative. Her uncontrollable laughter could be heard throughout the village.
Sun Tao still remembers the expressions on his parents' faces when he came home dejected and heard that something had happened to him.
They comforted him with their mouths, but their faces were gloomy. It was a complete collapse of a family's spirit.
……
"Mom, can I help you clean up?"
"Watch TV with your dad. You are asked to clean up. You are a big boy. Didn't Big Zhuang say that you will have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders tomorrow, hahaha."
"That's right, gentlemen, don't worry about the kitchen. Come on, tell me how you are doing at work during this time. That Zhang Xuesong asked you to do private work outside, who gave the money to you?"
……
A 21-inch TV was placed against the south window, and the anti-Japanese drama was playing on the TV. The two of them were sitting on the edge of the Kang with a plate of melon seeds in the middle.
Sun Tao, "I was still an intern at that time, so I could raise money from others."
Sun Dashan, "That's right. It's more important to leave a good impression on others. But haven't you become a regular employee now? If you do this again, you can't do it in vain. Don't let people think that you are easy to bully because you are young."
Sun Tao chuckled, "I'm still on probation now, and I will be a full-time employee after the National Day."
Sun Dashan, "Oh, just keep patiently and the future will be long."
The two of them were sitting and chatting, and no one was watching TV.
Ye Fen came in from outside after cleaning up, "Son, do you have anyone?"
Sun Tao shook his head, "There are only two old men in the office, and they don't have much contact with other people."
Sun Dashan, "There are all pretty girls over there. If you can't catch any of them, you won't make people laugh! Hehehehe."
Sun Tao glanced at his father and said, "You are the only one who treats your son as a treasure."
Ye Fen snorted coldly, "Pull him down, but don't look for the one who sings and dances. There are not many serious people who act as mistresses or sugar daddies."
"Son, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Your seventh aunt has a niece who just graduated from the medical school. She is now working as a nurse in Jinjiatun Central Hospital. I heard she is quite beautiful. I want you to meet her someday."< br>
Sun Dashan, "Put me down. As long as the seventh daughter-in-law looks like that, how can her niece be any better?"
……
Sun Tao ate melon seeds and listened to his parents chatting. Occasionally, he would join in and chat.
For the first time, he felt that this was happiness.
Today, Sun Tao could listen to their chatter with great interest, and Sun Dashan and Ye Fen were both surprised and happy.
Since Sun Tao went to the Water Conservancy and Hydropower School, he no longer likes to chat with them.
They could feel that their son felt that the parents they talked about were very boring, but apart from the fact that the parents were naughty, they only knew some common sense, and they didn't know anything else.
——
The anti-Japanese drama is over.
The family hadn't talked enough, and it was rare that their son was willing to listen to them say so much.
Sun Dashan looked at the time and said helplessly: "Oh, okay, no more chatting. Your mother and I have to go there early tomorrow to help."
Sun Tao smiled and said that there is a long way to go. He didn't understand it in the past, but now he understands what is most important to him.
"Well, then I'm going to bed. Mom, don't take up the matter with Aunt Seven. I'm only 18, it's still early."
Ye Fen, "What's the matter? Xiao Gang in the front yard got married at 18, so I don't want to get a certificate yet. Okay, I'll just say, you go ahead, I just dried the bedding in your room for you two days ago." ”
……
Sun Tao was lying in the place he was most familiar with, and his parents were in the room next to him. This was the place he wanted to go back to countless times in his memory but could never come back.
I couldn't sleep, and some bad things about the Sun family's shack that were hidden deep in my memory suddenly came out. Damn, this wife that Brother Yang took is not a serious person. I think I heard that he got divorced when I was a network administrator. It must have been less than two years.
Who told me? Can't remember.
It seems that Brother Yang's wife used to work in a "hair washing room", but later she felt that life at home was not good, so she abandoned her one-year-old child when she was hooked up by a regular customer.
Oh, by the way, the niece of the seventh aunt that mom was talking about later married Wang Xiaotian. The child was not Xiaotian’s and they also divorced.
In the next 20 years or so, there were still many divorces in the village.
Men who work hard on the land are considered to be incompetent, and even the slightly attractive girls will look down on them. Even if they can catch up to the end, it will not be good.
Not having money is the original sin.
On the contrary, everyone now considers him to be a second-rate guy, Sun Ran who is not doing his job properly, Wu Dong who is cheating and abducting, and his girlfriends are more beautiful than the last and they keep changing.
——
On Saturday, at six o'clock in the morning, the biological clock woke up Sun Tao.
His parents had already gone out, and he boiled three eggs in a big pot and heated vegetables and two steamed buns.
There is no refrigerator at home, and the leftover egg sauce from yesterday is on the stove. The green vegetables are no longer so fresh...
After Sun Tao finished washing, he snored for a while and started cooking.
What's not eaten can't be wasted. The big black man at the door is watching eagerly.
When he found Sun Tao looking at him, the big black man shook his head and kept squealing, that means you eat everything, leave some for me!
After getting some leftovers for the dog, Sun Tao asked him to take good care of the house, loosened the dog's leash and locked the courtyard door.
……
In my memory, he left home and went to Fengtian after attending Yang Ge's wedding. He first worked in Wu'ai Market for a few months, and then was tricked into working as an extra in Hengdian.
Since then, I can count on one hand the number of times I've been home.
Sun Tao walked with his head down when someone called him.
"Xiao Tao, when did you come back?"
"What did the second uncle do last night?"
"Go to Xiaoli Village to find someone to play mahjong..."
The person who always said he was optimistic about Sun Tao was called Sun Lianfu, a second uncle who came out of the fifth server. Sun Tao remembered that he and a bunch of old women were squatting at the foot of the wall and said: I have long seen that that boy from the Dashan family is not a good guy, hehehehe , peeking at girls changing clothes, I thought it might not be the first time, this is the first time I was caught...
Of the 36 families, they still treated Sun Tao at a fraction of the same as before. Half of them were sarcastic and sarcastic, while a small half behaved quite normally and told their girls and wives to have less contact with him.
On the contrary, it was the second-rate son Sun Ran who specifically reminded him that he had been tricked.
……
He is very familiar with repairing circuits. He has nothing to do with his marriage, so he is just a freeloader.
Although the bride is from Xiaoli Village, the two villages are only four or five miles away, and the wedding convoy also deliberately went around Jinjiatun Town. It started with a BMW and was followed by black Volkswagens. There could be seven or eight of them. .
……
The wedding party was all beautiful women, and the unmarried guys from the Sun family stretched their necks to look at her.
Seeing that Sun Tao had no interest in eating, these guys even laughed at him for not having all his hair.
Perhaps because of preconceptions, Sun Tao saw an aura of romance in the bride and bridesmaids.
At this point, I have to accept everything I say.
Seeing that Sun Yang was very happy, Sun Tao just ate and drank without saying anything.
