Chapter 12 Our Son Has Grow Up
Yi Feng and Wang Tie went home separately.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his parents waiting at the dining table, all with a stern face.
"Son, where have you been playing? Why are you back now? You are still soaked in this way!" Meng Xiaoyun couldn't help but blame him when he saw Yi Feng, who was soaked all over, returned home.
Yi Feng scratched his head, worried his parents, and felt a little embarrassed, "Mom, Tiezi and I went to do something, but when we came back, it was delayed."
Meng Xiaoyun got up and took a towel, helped him wipe his wet hair, and said with concern: "It's true, let's not talk about it anymore, hurry up, go take a shower first, change and dry clothes, don't catch a cold."
"Okay, mom."
Yi Feng responded, took his clothes to the bathroom to take a hot shower, changed into clean clothes before coming out.
"A Qiu!"
As soon as he left the bathroom door, the cool breeze blew, Yi Feng couldn't help sneezing.
"Look, you're catching a cold. Come and have dinner. I'll keep warming up for you."
"You eat it first, I'll make you some ginger soup to drive away the cold." Meng Xiaoyun said with a heartache.
"Hehe, mom, I, I'm fine."
"Ah Qiu~" Yi Feng sneezed again after saying that, and clear snot flowed out.
It seems that I'm really catching a cold.
This body is really weak!
Yi Feng couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
It seems that you have to exercise regularly after keeping up with nutrition in the future.
"I said it's okay, eat it quickly, I'll make ginger soup, you kid are really." Meng Xiaoyun shook his head, wiped his hands, and returned to the kitchen.
Yi Feng sat at the dinner table and saw the dishes tonight, fried loofah meat, and fried sweet potato leaves.
The only little meat was picked out and put in front of him.
"Son, how are you studying recently?" Yi Jianjun took out a red plum cigarette and was about to light it when he saw Yi Feng next to him, so he took it back.
"It's okay, English and mathematics are not a big problem, and other subjects need to be reviewed intensified." Yi Feng answered honestly.
"Hmm? Really fake? You used to be the worst in English and mathematics. Did you say it was the opposite?" Yi Jianjun was stunned.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely get a good score in the college entrance examination." Yi Feng said confidently.
Yi Jianjun nodded, "It's natural for you to have this confidence. You are preparing for the college entrance examination. You don't go out to play in the future and go home early to review your homework."
"It rained heavily just now, and your mother didn't see you back again. She was worried that she wouldn't have the time to eat."
"If you have anything to do in the future, remember to call your Uncle Gu first. He has a landline at home, so don't worry us too much."
Yi Feng smiled apologetically, "I know Dad, I remember."
The father and son were chatting together. After Yi Feng finished the meal, Meng Xiaoyun brought out ginger soup.
"Come on, son, drink this bowl of ginger soup to warm your body."
Yi Feng took the ginger soup and blew it, and a strong smell of old ginger came to his face.
He took a small sip and his whole body suddenly became warm.
My heart is also warm.
"Son, where are you going with Wang Tie today? You won't be back so late next time." Meng Xiaoyun said with a stern face.
The words are blame, but full of concern.
Yi Feng put down the bowl and smiled and said, "I went to earn some extra money with Tiezi."
He took out a waterproof plastic bag from his pocket, which contained three hundred dollars.
One hundred bought a gift, one hundred gave Wang Tie, one hundred kept his pocket money, and the remaining three hundred yuan was to give him to his mother to improve the food at home and subsidize the household income.
He took out the money and handed it to Meng Xiaoyun, "Mom, you can keep these three hundred yuan first, and keep it for extra food."
Meng Xiaoyun and Yi Jianjun were stunned when they saw the three hundred dollars in his hand.
Three hundred yuan!
This is not a small amount, it is Yi Jianjun’s salary for half a month.
"Son, where did you get the money? You won't do anything bad, are you?"
"Son, although we are a little poor, we can't do anything in a good way!" Meng Xiaoyun asked nervously without taking the money.
How can a high school student make so much money?
Yi Jianjun frowned and scolded, "Where did you get the money? You won't do it outside, right?"
Under the stern eyes of the two, Yi Feng quickly told them about the matter.
It is said that this is obtained from working on computers by yourself, and the money can be earned in vain.
After hearing Yi Feng's words, the two finally calmed down.
Meng Xiaoyun took the money, hugged Yi Feng excitedly, and kissed him on the forehead.
"Oh, my good son, it was my parents who just blamed you!"
"You are so promising, mom, I'm so happy!"
Meng Xiaoyun was so happy that her face burst into laughter.
Yi Jianjun also looked relieved, "I am, my son has been smart since he was a child, haha!"
Yi Feng: "Uh..."
Why does this sound weird?
"Dad and Mom, if my son can make money in the future, we don't have to save too much. Add two taels of meat and one more dish on weekdays. You have to eat some meat."
He saw that his parents didn't eat meat and left the meat to him. How could this work?
If you don’t eat meat all year round, you will have physical problems.
I'm afraid it's because of this that my mother has a long-term malnutrition and will have health problems.
Meng Xiaoyun counted three hundred yuan and said without raising her head: "We don't have to grow up anymore, it doesn't matter whether we eat meat or not."
"This money cannot be spent indiscriminately. Mom will keep it for you to use for future college."
Yi Jianjun sighed, "Yes, son, our third steel rolling mill has become increasingly unsatisfactory in recent years."
"It's been rumored that for economic transformation or something, the city might be closed for steel rolling mills. By then, more than 3,000 employees in the factory may have to be laid off."
"We will save money in the end, and we may have to save some more money in the future."
Yi Feng was stunned and suddenly realized that in his memory, his father was indeed forced to lay off in 2001.
When the national economy was transforming, the country closed down or reduced the old state-owned enterprises with poor efficiency, and thus a wave of laid-offs broke out.
At that time, laid-off workers fell directly to the bottom of society, struggling hard to survive, and many families were separated.
"Really? No, right? Are we just watching us lose our job?" Meng Xiaoyun's face changed.
Yi Jianjun rubbed his temples and frowned and said, "The factory has spread, I... I guess it's almost the same, and we really can't do anything about it."
"The factory has nothing to do."
"In recent years, the factory has been maintaining losses. I heard that the funds are all allocated by the city, so the workers' wages can be paid."
"If the factory doesn't make money, it's probably a matter of time before it is closed."
This news is undoubtedly a major blow to the whole family.
Meng Xiaoyun is even more worried.
Her small income from selling vegetables can only subsidize her family's income, and the family's financial burden is all on Yi Jianjun's shoulders.
If Yi Jianjun was laid off, his family's economic pillar would be ruined.
For a moment, the three people at the dinner table were silent, the atmosphere was dull and depressing.
"Dad, mom, don't worry, I can make money in the future, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties!"
Yi Feng suddenly spoke, breaking the calm.
Meng Xiaoyun looked at Yi Feng's firm expression, showed a gratified smile on his face, gently hugged him and touched his head.
