Chapter 25

In the nearly two months after his rebirth, the family ignored him except for calling him twice for living expenses.

It's not that Zhou Fei has any conflicts with his family, it's just that his parents have always educated him like this. Zhou Fei was raised by free-range adults since he was a child.

Zhou Fei was planning to tell his family that he would not go back during the summer vacation, but this time he called to save him from having to call again.

"Xiao Fei, did you disturb your study?"

As soon as the phone was connected, the familiar voice of his father Zhou Dehai came.

To be honest, the moment Zhou Fei heard his father's voice, Zhou Fei almost didn't hold back. In his previous life, his parents died of illness not long after he graduated. After so many years, he heard the familiar voice again. The sound made Zhou Fei's nose sore all of a sudden.

In this world, the only thing that is hard to let go is the family love that blood is thicker than water.

Zhou Fei adjusted his emotions and tried his best not to let Zhou Dehai hear his strangeness, "Dad, why did you remember to call me?"

"It's nothing, just chatting with you casually, so what, you won't come back this summer vacation?"

"Ah?" Zhou Fei was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't told his family about it yet, why did he suddenly ask like this?
"Isn't the business at home not very good... Okay, did you say that?"

Before Zhou Dehai could finish speaking, Zhou Fei's mother, Lin Hong, glared at him, then took the phone from him, and said again,

"Xiao Fei, don't listen to your father's nonsense, the family is fine. Didn't you say that you always want to travel, or just this summer vacation, I will ask your father to send you some money later, and it will not be too late to go home if you are tired from playing. .”

"It's okay, I happen to have something to do at school, and I didn't plan to go back." Zhou Fei said so, but he was searching for the memories of his family in his heart.

Zhou Fei’s parents have been running a factory that produces drive shafts for automobile gearboxes. At the beginning, the business was pretty good. Since last year, upstream companies have continued to lower prices, making it more and more difficult for the family factory to survive. .

If I remember correctly, the factory at home should have been declared closed this year, that is, since then, my parents have suffered from a serious illness...

Thinking of this, Zhou Fei felt that he had to go back this summer vacation.

After chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Fei hung up the phone, and quickly booked a ticket home online. Due to the late booking, the sleeper berths were gone, and only the last few hard seats were left, which happened to be snatched by him .

It didn't take long for Zhou Fei to receive a text message from the bank. The whole 1 yuan must be the travel expenses given to him by his parents.

"I have to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible. It's a disgrace to the reborn person to spend money from the family after being reborn!"

Zhou Fei turned off his mobile phone and focused his attention on the computer again.

***
The five-day exam week came to an end soon. After a night of rest, Zhou Fei came to the train station with Jiang Yang carrying a bag on his back the next morning.

"Brother Fei, after the summer camp in Qingbei is over, I will come back as soon as possible."

"It's okay, you perform well in the summer camp, don't worry about the team." Zhou Fei replied with a smile.

If his best friend can go to Qingbei to study as a graduate student, Zhou Fei will have the capital to brag about B with others in the future, and Zhou Fei will naturally support him strongly.

After chatting for a few minutes, the two boarded the train home separately.

Zhou Fei’s hometown is a small county in northern Jiangsu. It takes 18 hours to take the train back from Chuncheng. The fastest “Z” prefix takes 25 hours, but Zhou Fei didn’t grab this train, and only bought the ones starting with “K”. , [-] hours on the light road.

Zhou Fei couldn't buy a sleeper berth, so Zhou Fei could only just sit. It was the time when the students were returning home, and there were people inside and outside the carriage, and even the passengers were lying on the aisle, let alone the bathroom. At the spot, there were seven or eight people crowded together.

Zhou Fei was well aware of the difficulty of going to the toilet at such a time, so he didn't dare to drink much water along the way, he just ate a piece of chocolate, and the rest of the time he either played with his phone, or just sat there in a daze and dozed off.

The most difficult thing was at night. Every time Zhou Fei woke up, he thought it would be dawn, but in fact, he only slept for more than an hour each time, and the uncle next to him leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep. dawn.

In this way, Zhou Fei finally survived these 25 hours. After three o'clock in the afternoon, the train finally stopped at the small station in his hometown. Zhou Fei packed his things and got out of the car with the crowd.

The moment he got out of the station, Zhou Fei felt like he was alive again.

After not eating for a day and a night, the first thing Zhou Fei did was to find a noodle restaurant near the station, order a cold noodle, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

After so many years, Zhou Fei still thinks the Liangpi in his hometown is the best.

After eating, Zhou Fei was about to take a tricycle home when he suddenly saw a familiar figure busy at a fruit stand not far away.

Zhou Fei's heart moved, and he couldn't help walking forward. It really was his mother Lin Hong!

Zhou Fei's nose became sore all of a sudden. He never thought that his mother, who used to be a full-time wife, would one day sell fruit at a place like a train station.

"mom."

Zhou Fei stood behind Lin Hong, his voice was crying.

Lin Hong, who had just collected the money and was about to sit down for a rest, suddenly heard this familiar voice behind her, and couldn't help but turn her head to look.

Seeing this, Lin Hong was stunned, and her first reaction was to quickly turn her head away, pretending that she didn't hear it.

"mom."

Zhou Fei yelled again, then quickly walked up to her, and just looked at her like that.

After being exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, my mother's face has obviously turned darker. Zhou Fei remembers that when he first went to school last year, his mother was still very young. Who knows, in just one year, his mother has obviously aged a lot. The wrinkles on the face are clearly visible.

Things at home must have worried her a lot.

"It's Xiao Fei, why are you back? Didn't you say you won't come back?" Lin Hong said embarrassingly, avoiding Zhou Fei's gaze.

"I thought you were with my dad, so I came back." Zhou Fei grinned, and suddenly hugged Lin Hong, "I'm sorry, Mom, for making you suffer."

"It's me who should say I'm sorry. Selling fruit here doesn't embarrass you, right?"

Lin Hong didn't expect Zhou Fei to have such a big reaction. After being stunned for a while, she patted her son's back, and her eyes immediately became moist.

"No way, relying on my own hands to work, I think my mother is the most powerful person in the world."

"I told you not to come back, why are you so disobedient!" Lin Hong didn't know why Zhou Fei went home, and she couldn't help but blamed her in her tone.

"I'm also a member of the family, so I should take corresponding responsibilities. When I graduate, I will work hard to earn money and never let my parents work hard anymore." Zhou Fei replied seriously.

The meaning of "family" is not that a family supports each other and faces difficulties in life together.
