The call was not from someone else, but Chen Jing's father, Chen Jun.

The reason why Chen Jing was hesitant and hesitant was very simple. He didn't know how to tell his parents about many things, nor how to face them.

Chen's father and Chen's mother paid an unknown amount to support his education. In order to raise his college tuition, they shamelessly asked many relatives in the family to borrow money, and they gradually paid it back in the past two years.

What did the two elders do for Chen Jing?

Although it can be said that now that Chen Jing has entered the antique shop, he has a bright future and has even made a lot of money, this is a completely different matter.

If Chen's father and Chen's mother had to choose, they would probably still want Chen Jing to complete his studies. This is not a matter of concept, but their own expectations for many years, as well as Chen Jing's own expectations for many years.

As the same saying goes, after ten years of hard study, Chen Jing found it hard to accept that everything would be over in one fell swoop. How could the two elders be better off?

So until now, Chen Jing has not told his parents about the matter. He really doesn't know what to say and can't speak.

However, when faced with Chen Jun's call, Chen Jing hesitated for a moment and finally answered the call.

"Hey dad." Chen Jing shouted as calmly as possible.

"Well, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Chen Jun asked with a happy and a little confused voice.

"Oh, I didn't hear that just now." Chen Jing responded casually and asked again: "Dad, is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, just..." Chen Jun said, but his words gradually became hesitant.

At this time, a somewhat shrewd female voice sounded from the side: "Let me talk to Xiao Jing."

"Xiao Jing, how have you been lately? Are you serious about your studies? Are you eating well, sleeping well, and do you have enough money?" This somewhat pungent voice belonged to Chen Jing's mother, Lu Yuqing.

Chen Jing tightened the hand holding the phone and responded with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, everything is fine with me and I have enough money."

"That's good. You are alone outside. You must pay attention to your health and money. If you don't have it, just say, don't carry it on your own. Your father and I are not old enough to make a penny.

." Lu Yuqing warned seriously.

It must be said that since he entered college, Chen Jing has not had to ask for money from his family. He earns his daily living expenses by himself or by finding part-time jobs at school or working in some nearby restaurants.

It's hard and tiring, but Chen Jing doesn't want to increase the burden on his family. This is one of the reasons why his consumption concept is not so easy to change.

If you have truly experienced the suffering of poverty, you will naturally know that wealth is hard-won.

"Yeah, I know, Mom." Chen Jing also agreed seriously.

There was a moment of silence on the phone. Chen Jing knew that his parents had something to say, but it might be difficult for them to talk about it.

Finally, it was Lu Yuqing who said, "Xiao Jing, it's the National Day soon. Do you want to go home and take a look? Well, if you're too busy, forget it."

In fact, Lu Yuqing is a typical Sichuan and Chongqing woman, with a rather tough and aggressive temperament, and she is very straightforward in speaking and doing things. However, when she said this sentence, she seemed hesitant and even cautious.

When Chen Jing heard this, he felt his nose was a little sour and his eyes were slightly red.

Speaking of which, Chen Jing has not been back home for more than two years, mainly because Changcheng is a bit far from Sichuan and Chongqing, and the fare is not cheap. A round trip is enough for his living expenses for a month or two.

Moreover, during the winter and summer vacations in the past, Chen Jing had to take advantage of the holidays to find jobs during the winter and summer vacations so that he could earn more money.

In the past two years, my parents often asked him when he would come home at first, but gradually they asked him less and less, and they only asked him during the Chinese New Year.

Perhaps because Chen Jing was a little stunned, Lu Yuqing heard that he didn't speak and shook her head at Chen Jun on the other end of the phone, with a look of disappointment on her face.

Chen Jun sighed and took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"Xiao Jing, if you don't have time, forget it. The National Day holiday is not very long anyway, and the roads are also congested. But during the Chinese New Year this year, you..." Lu Yuqing tried her best not to sound disappointed, and said with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Jing also came to his senses and said quickly: "Mom, I'm coming back for the National Day."

When he said this, Father Chen and Mother Chen on the other end of the phone were stunned, and then they were extremely surprised!

"Really? That's great. I'll ask your dad to pick you up then." Lu Yuqing almost cried with joy as she spoke hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Chen Jing would regret it.

Chen Jing also smiled: "No, it won't be troublesome for Dad to make a trip." His home is in a remote mountainous area, and the journey is really troublesome.

Chen Jun also said: "That's okay, but if you want to come back, Xiaojing, come back early. This is only a seven-day holiday."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a snap, as if Lu Yuqing had hit him, and some fierce complaints: "No matter what, you won't pick up my son when he comes back. How can you be such a father?"

Chen Jing heard it funny and hurriedly said: "Mom, I really don't need dad to pick me up. I'm so old, how can I still get lost?"

After a pause, Chen Jing quickly helped his father change the subject: "Mom, do you and dad have anything you want to buy? I will buy it for you then."

"No, no, no, your dad and I don't need anything, so don't waste money." Lu Yuqing refused again and again, and then said, "As long as you can come back."

Chen Jing opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he was not short of money now and had earned almost two million. He also wanted to say that he now had a bright future in the antique shop.

But in the end, he still didn't say anything.

After chatting for a while, Father Chen and Mother Chen hung up the phone in anticipation and joy. They had not seen their son for more than two years. It is self-evident that they were happy and excited.

As parents, how can we express our concern and longing for our children in just a few words?

Chen Jing looked at his phone, sighed, and said to himself: "When I go back this time, I will explain the matter clearly to my parents." He also knew that things could not be hidden after all.

It's just that Chen Jing originally thought that he would explain to his parents later when he earned more money, but now he understands that there is not much difference in telling him sooner or later.

The call from his parents made Chen Jing feel a little depressed. He glanced in the direction of the door, or rather on the other side of the door. He suddenly wanted to go to Kong Xue to talk to him, or to seek comfort from his elder sister.

But in the end, Chen Jing shook his head and walked into the kitchen to cook dinner for himself.
