Chapter 42 Thank you, thank you
Wang Yichen came back from the meeting in the county feeling very proud and full of confidence. The words of Secretary Le of the County Party Committee echoed in his ears all the time, making him a little over-excited and unable to sleep at night.
He secretly warned himself that he must not disappoint Secretary Le's expectations and do his job well.
Not to mention how happy Wang Yichen himself was, the story of Secretary Le encouraging Wang Yichen at the commendation meeting spread throughout Daozi Village in an instant, making everyone in the village happy for this young man.
Wang Yichen was commended in the county. They felt as if they had shown their faces in front of the people in the county. Wang Yichen represented them and Daozi Village. Therefore, in their hearts, they were very grateful to Wang Yichen, admired Wang Yichen, and felt
Wang Yichen won glory for them, grew his face, and straightened his back in the entire village.
Of course, Wang Dawang and Li Lanlan are the happiest. Their son's glory is their glory, and their son's face is their face. As parents, their sons are successful, which is what they are most proud and happiest about. Even if they eat chaffy vegetables,
It also feels sweet.
The couple had already placed a sumptuous table of dishes on the Kang table before their son returned home.
As soon as Wang Yichen entered the courtyard, Li Lanlan shouted happily into the room: "Dawang, my son is back, let's have dinner!"
Wang Dawang usually has a habit of coming home from working in the fields, lying down on the kang, resting quietly for a while, waiting for Li Lanlan to prepare the meal, put the table and dishes, Li Lanlan called him to eat, and he
Then he opened his eyes, sat up, picked up the rice that Li Lanlan served him, and ate it in silence.
He would only say a few words unless Li Lanlan and Wang Yichen talked to him.
But today, when he heard outside that his son had returned home with great honors and was promoted to the deputy village head of the village, he felt happy and went home early, asking Li Lanlan to cook a table of good meals and wait for his son to come back for dinner.
When Wang Yichen did not return home, he made an exception and did not lie on the kang. Instead, he sat in front of the window and looked out from time to time, hoping that his son would come back soon. When Wang Yichen first entered the door, he had already looked through the glass window.
When he arrived, he quickly turned around, lay down on the kang, and pretended to rest.
Li Lanlan watched her son enter the house with joy, and said happily: "Yichen, you are back, come in and have dinner!"
Li Lanlan followed her son into the house. When she saw that Wang Dawang was still lying on the kang, she went up and pulled his feet: "Hey, Dawang, my son is back, why are you still lying there like nothing happened?"
Like everyone else? Get up and eat quickly. My son has been busy in the village all day, so he should be starving."
Wang Yichen quickly said: "Mom, my dad has been working outside for a day and is tired enough. Just let him lie down for a while!"
Wang Dawang sat up and said: "Your mother is the only one who can make a fuss. Your son is back as soon as he comes back. What's the fuss? Yichen, your mother was so happy just after hearing about you that she didn't even know what was going on. As soon as I got home
, just listen to her nagging you!"
"Wang Dawang, don't talk about me. Do you think I don't know that you are pretending to be lying there? Before your son came back, didn't you lie at the window and keep looking out? When your son came back, you pretended to be serious. And you said
And me!"
Well, these two couples exposed each other's "hypocrisy" in front of their son.
Listening to his parents arguing sweetly in front of him, Wang Yichen felt happy and sad at the same time.
I am happy that I have gained face for them and allowed them to straighten their backs in front of others. They have swept away their previous poverty and no longer look down upon.
What is sad is that because of my studies, they were reluctant to eat a decent meal at home. People who are not yet fifty years old already look like people in their sixties, especially Li Lanlan
, it is not an exaggeration to say that she looks unkempt and looks like a beggar. If this were in the city, they would still be in the middle of the year.
As Wang Yichen got on the kang, he thought that he must behave well so that his parents could live a good life.
"Yichen, I heard that the county secretary said that you are a good person and asked you to do a good job?"
"Well, he said that when he gave me the prize on stage. He was trying to encourage me."
"Then you have to work hard in the future and don't let people down."
"that is."
"What prizes have been given to you?" Li Lanlan is a rural woman after all, and her most important thing is the benefits.
Wang Yichen took out the two thousand yuan from his pocket, handed it to Li Lanlan, who was still standing in front of the kang, and said: "It's just these two thousand yuan. Director Ouyang asked me to buy you some good things and bring them back. I'm afraid you will scold me."
, I didn’t buy it. With these two thousand yuan, you can buy something for yourself!”
Li Lanlan happily took the money and said from ear to ear with joy: "Oh my God, why did I give you so much money all at once? My son is really promising."
When she said this, Li Lanlan actually shed tears. She has never received so much money at once. In order to raise money for her son's tuition in the past, her family borrowed some from her family, and her family from the west collected some.
He warmed it up in his own hands and took it to the school. Now, my son has earned so much money all at once. It’s like a dream.
Wang Dawang looked at the money in Li Lanlan's hand and said with emotion: "Fuck, so are you. It's a good thing, why are you crying! Yichen, just for this, we have to work hard, we can't be lazy and slippery, you have to be worthy of it
Secretary of the county party committee, I have paid you so much as a reward, so we know that we should repay the favor."
"Dad, I know this."
Wang Dawang poured the wine for his son with his own hands, picked it up, and said, "Mom, you come to the kang too. Our family is going to celebrate well today!"
As he said that, he didn't care whether the woman picked up the wine glass or not, just raised his neck and drank. Usually he only drank one or two glasses of wine, but today, he felt extremely happy and drank three glasses of wine in a row.
He drank a cup, but he still felt that it was not enough. Today's wine was not spicy, nor was it for relieving fatigue, but the happiest and sweetest wine in his life. He drank it with great taste.
In fact, Wang Dawang really had mixed feelings in his heart, and his nose was sore. It was just that a man would not shed tears easily. In front of his wife and son, he was really embarrassed that he had lost his status as the head of the family, so he tried hard to keep the tears welling up in his eyes.
The tears were held back and did not fall.
Li Lanlan was still a careful mother, so she asked Wang Yichen: "Yichen, how much did you spend on this outfit? You didn't spend any of the prize money, where did you get the money to buy it?"
Wang Yichen wanted to tell them the truth about buying clothes, but he was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he had to say half-truth: "Director Ouyang saw that I didn't have any decent clothes for the meeting. It was too shabby to speak on stage and I was laughed at.
Just use public money to buy it for me. It can be reimbursed."
After hearing this, Wang Dawang and Li Lanlan believed it and were extremely grateful to Ouyang Wenxin. They told Wang Yichen: "Director Ouyang treats us like this. From now on, you must work hard and don't let others worry about you. If you have time and convenience,
Invite people to our house to sit and have a meal, and thank them!"
In fact, how did they know that their son's relationship with Director Ouyang was not ordinary.
When Wang Yichen heard what his parents said, he smiled and said: "She is a cadre in the village. She is so busy at work. How can she have time to come to us for a meal? It's better to wait until I go to the village one day, invite her to the restaurant and express my feelings.
.Besides, people in our rural areas may not be able to eat the food well!"
"That's what Yichen said. People in the city might not be used to the food I cook. So I'll just do as you said. I'll just go to the countryside and treat them to you as a token of appreciation."
