Rebirth, Starting from 2005

On the night when he sent the money back, Yan Xin called his father.

Still call the owner of the canteen in the same group and ask him to pass on the message.

It was around 7:00 p.m. when I called, and it was meal time, so I didn’t need to go to the field to find someone, and it was easy to notify.

The second time he called, his dad answered the phone.

"Xiaoxin, what do you want from me?" His father was worried that something happened to him when he spoke.

Now the phone bill is quite expensive. In his father's mind, there is no need to call if there is nothing important. Just call to explain that there is something very important.

It's a little hard to accept for people who have been frugal all their lives.

"It's like this. I paid my salary yesterday. After deducting the food and accommodation expenses, I paid more than 700 yuan." Yan Xin said.

Before he finished speaking, his father was happy: "You can earn so much money now!"

"Um, more than seven hundred yuan is not too much, I can earn more money in the future." Yan Xin said.

"You are already better at farming than me." His father said with emotion.

In the voice, there was some relief, but also some bewilderment.

The land that has been planted for a lifetime will only be cultivated.

After a year of hard work, I can't earn much money.

And my son, who has just graduated from high school and is less than nineteen years old, once he goes out to work, he can earn more money than himself every month.

While being relieved, I thought again: "I am really useless. I have been a farmer for decades, but I can't even compare to my son who just went out to work."

Suddenly there is a kind of desolation that has been eliminated by this era.

Yan Xin didn't notice the old father's sense of loss when he found out that he was behind the times, and said in a brisk tone:

"My company provides food and accommodation here. It's useless to keep so much money in my hands. I was also worried that I would spend it indiscriminately, so I left more than two hundred yuan for myself. I will give you the other five hundred yuan. Sent it over."

His father was stunned: "You just keep the money yourself, in case there is an emergency, you can take it out and use it. What do you send it back for?"

Yan Xin said: "Didn't the family still owe money to others? If you can pay back a little, just pay back a little."

"It's only a few thousand yuan. Now that you don't study anymore, when the late rice and cotton are sold, you can pay it back. You don't need to send money back." His father said.

Although his father has never gone out to work, he also knows the difficulties of going out. He doesn't keep any money, and if someone has a headache and fever, it will be difficult.

This is his son, and he doesn't want his son to suffer like that because he has no money.

"If you have as much money as you want, just save it. If you save it for a year, the money may be spent indiscriminately in my hands. Then I won't have the money to build a house." Yan Xin said with a smile.

He explained again: "Dad, after you withdraw the money, go to the post office to open an account and deposit the money. When the time comes, tell me the account and transfer the money directly. It will be more convenient."

"You can keep the money for yourself, and you don't have to send it home in the future." His father said.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll keep the living expenses. I'll take care of food and lodging here. Why are you worried about me?" Yan Xin said, "I won't send too much, it's only five hundred yuan a month. Wait for me Once we have saved enough 10,000 yuan, we will start preparing to build a house.”

Ten thousand yuan is definitely not enough to build a house, even if it is just a brick house, his father understands this.

But according to the saving rate of 500 yuan a month, it will take 20 months or more than a year to save enough 10,000 yuan.

Over the past year or so, the family can also save a few thousand yuan, and then borrow a little more money to raise 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which can almost build a brick house.

——It is very difficult to borrow money when you can’t get it. Even if you are willing to pay a higher interest rate, few people dare to borrow. Others worry that they will not even receive the principal.

However, it is relatively easier for people who can earn money to find others to borrow money.

In the past, Yan Xin was studying, and he was still a very unmotivated person in the eyes of everyone. He could not see the future of the family. Indeed, few people were willing to lend money to his family.

But now that Yan Xin has gone out to work and knows how to send money home, it shows that he is sensible, knows that he has earned money, and has a certain ability to repay. It is not a big deal to borrow tens of thousands of dollars, as long as he accepts the interest. .

His father didn't have a big idea, as long as he could build a solid brick house, he didn't dare to think about a building, it was beyond the ability of their father and son.

What his father didn't expect was that Yan Xin's idea was not to build a brick house, not even a building, but to build a villa.

Sending money home is just to make him feel at ease.

It is inconvenient to talk about the dividends of the manuscript fee now, and Yan Xin still understands the truth that the money is not revealed.

After talking about sending money, Yan Xin asked his father about his current situation, how his health was, and how his food was. It's broken.

After talking for a total of ten minutes, his father reminded him several times that the phone bill was too expensive, so stop talking, and then hung up the phone.

When Yan's father answered the phone, there were a few card players listening to him. Hearing the father and son's conversation, they all praised Yan Xin for growing up, becoming sensible, having a sense of responsibility, and knowing that he loves being a father. up. It is said that Yan's father has worked hard for most of his life, and he will be blessed in the future.

Although father Yan didn't want his son to be harsh on him outside, he felt quite happy to hear those people praise his son so much.

——In the past, when people mentioned his son, they always talked about the one who didn’t live up to expectations. He didn’t study hard at school, didn’t work hard at home, and his family was so poor.

When I heard it, it really hurt my heart.

What's even more uncomfortable is that what people say is the truth, and there is no way to refute it.

Now that his son has changed, the neighbors' evaluation of him has also changed. For him, this is the most fulfilling thing.

——He himself has fallen behind in this era, and he can only pin his hopes on his son in the future.

The son is sensible and can earn money, which is better than anything else.

After finishing the call, he walked home alone and looked at the dilapidated house. Before, he could only see despair in it, and he saw the fate of being unable to turn over no matter how hard he tried, but now, he actually saw the hope of a new life. .

The next day, this middle-aged man, who looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, went up to the hill, sat alone by the grave of his dead wife, and talked a lot.

In the past, when I was very bored, I would come to the grave of my dead wife and say something about my son, the situation at home, and the pain in my heart.

Sometimes I burst into tears while talking, complaining that I was useless and did not take good care of this son as my deceased wife entrusted.

This time it was all about the son, but this time it was not complaining, it was telling the deceased wife that the son was sensible and knew that he loved him as a father and knew to take responsibility, so he went out to work for more than two months. I sent money home.

This should be considered good news.

Just talking, suddenly burst into tears:

"Shujuan... Tell me, if you were alive and saw our son grow up, become sensible, and be filial to you, how wonderful it would be!"
