Chapter 1586

~7 min read 1,375 words

Wu Fang feels meaningless.

But the relationship between children and parents and family is always like this, and it is not so easy to be decisive and separate.

Although there are bad things now, he was also loved in those years, and had a deep relationship with his brothers.

So in the end, he sighed and carried his backpack upstairs.

On the way upstairs, he met a neighbor from before, who said "Oh my": "Xiao Fang, your leg is better!"

"No!"

Wu Fang is quite free and easy now: "Changed to a new prosthetic limb, the running-in is quite good, can't see it, right!"

This appearance is exactly the same as when he was showing off something when he was a teenager.

The neighbor aunt didn't know why her eyes became hot, and then she became happy: "Yes! Can't see it at all, but don't be brave, you should raise it if you should!"

Turning around, she asked him: "Are you back for the holiday? I heard from your mother that you are working as a security guard somewhere else, is that salary okay?"

She hesitated: "If it doesn't work, young people have advantages if they are thick-skinned. You can find a security guard job in a nearby residential area. Two or three thousand yuan a month, close to home, and the work is leisurely—"

Wu Fang smiled: "Auntie, we retired soldiers are easy to get fat if we don't move. The job I found now has training. Look at my figure, it's well maintained! That can't be changed!"

Showing off again: "The Dragon Boat Festival subsidy is one or two thousand!"

Oh my oh my!

The neighbor aunt suddenly smiled: "Then this job is quite good. You didn't make a sound at home before, now you know how to joke with your aunt... quite good! Xiao Fang, people, who doesn't have three disasters and nine illnesses? As long as life goes smoothly, the heart is happy!"

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Wu Fang said goodbye to the other party and walked upstairs again.

Knocking on the door, Wu's mother's eyes turned red instantly:

"You, you went for half a year without coming home! And lied to me that the work is good, how good can it be in that mountain corner? Your brother said, if it doesn't work, go to his residential area to be a security guard..."

Wu's mother is also helpless.

Two sons at home, but the savings are only so much.

Years ago, in order to get married for the eldest son at the peak of housing prices, the savings were spent, and when it was the younger son's turn, naturally he couldn't help.

Fortunately, he saved several hundred thousand when he retired, and now he has a disability, and he is subsidized for several tens of thousands every year.

Doing something casually, it can be considered as supporting a family.

But this child, why doesn't he listen to persuasion?

"If you find work nearby, Mom can cook for you when you come home, and can raise your body. You don't eat well outside, definitely..."

Definitely what?

Wu's mother couldn't go on.

The son came back for half a year and rarely went out. His skin was fair, but his spirit was withered day by day, and his words were much less.

Plus there is pain, running-in with the prosthetic limb, and many medicines to eat...

Because of his injury, the eldest grandson accidentally kicked the prosthetic limb, and the whole family had to be silent for a long time.

But now?

The other party's skin is much darker, but a pair of eyes are bright.

This spirit can be seen without words.

Although the foot is disabled, walking these few steps into the house seems to have no pain at all. The whole person's shoulders and back are straight, just like the appearance when he was still in the army!

Wu Fang smiled: "Mom, my working environment is quite good now, the salary is high, I plan to stay long."

Just talking, the eldest brother and sister-in-law brought the child back.

The brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, naturally there are greetings, the other party asked about salary and treatment, and at this moment couldn't help but fly eyebrows:

"So, the basic salary is 5,000 every month, not counting bonuses and full attendance, and food and housing are included, and there are holiday gifts and red envelopes..."

Then silently calculate, the eldest brother was very surprised: "This money plus your subsidy, can't you save more than 100,000 a year?!"

There is nothing to hide, it's just so much money, Wu Fang nodded: "Yes."

But he still remembered that the other party wanted to borrow money to buy a car, so he made a preventive shot in advance: "Plan to pool together, buy a house in full."

Many people in the team want to buy the buildings developed by the boss in the town—everyone's situation is similar. If it is comfortable at home, no one will be willing to go to a mountain village far away to work.

But that hasn't appeared yet, and Wu Fang hasn't decided whether to buy it in his hometown or in Qingxi Town.

The eldest brother's enthusiasm fell instantly, and only said: "Should buy a house, but housing prices are low now, buy a smaller one, an older one, it won't cost much."

Wu Fang thought you bought that house with the family's bottom line, but it was next to the municipal government in the new district!

But he didn't make a sound, just smiled: "Well, the location is not important."

Not seen for a long time, the nephew who was originally unfamiliar looked for a long time, and pointed to the backpack on the side: "Uncle, is this yours?"

Wu Fang nodded: "Well, holiday, the company issued some holiday gifts, very rare, brought back for you to taste."

He opened the backpack, and saw it was two small emerald green watermelons, the sister-in-law curled her lips.

The nephew didn't know the price yet, and cheered: "Watermelon! Can I have half and eat it with a spoon?"

"I want to eat watermelon while watching 'Boonie Bears'."

Wu Fang hadn't spoken yet, the sister-in-law said first: "No! Where can't you buy this watermelon? There are plenty of roadside stalls for 80 cents a jin! If you eat so much, you won't eat lunch!"

Wu Fang didn't make a sound, thinking this is the reason why he doesn't like to stay at home.

If you are afraid that the child eats too much, just say it, first emphasize the price, he is also quite sensitive now, can't listen.

So he smiled again: "This watermelon is 40 yuan a jin, and it is not sold to the outside world. Sister-in-law, since the child can't eat much, let's share it."

Divide these holiday gifts, and next time I come back, I'm afraid it will be the New Year. He might not be by his parents' side in the future, now...

There is nothing to care about.

The eldest brother sighed: "Wu Fang, you have been in the army for too long, you can't handle this set in society. What kind of 40 yuan a jin is the boss bragging, just to save some money, fooling you!"

"What watermelon can sell for 40! Furthermore, if there is such a watermelon, can it be issued to you? This one is one or two hundred."

Wu's mother looked at her grandson and hesitated: "This melon is three or five jin, it's nothing to eat half..."

When Wu Fang and his brother were this big, the two brothers could share one of several tens of jin.

But she said what she said, and still nimbly hugged the watermelon and cut it.

As soon as the melon was cut, the room was instantly filled with a unique fragrance, and the nephew didn't even watch TV, and rushed to the kitchen:

"Grandma, this melon is so fragrant!"

Wu's mother also felt it was really fragrant, and at this moment endured not eating, only first stuffed a piece to her grandson, and then carried the whole cut melon out.
