Chapter 154 Life is full of flavors, everyone has a taste
After everything has settled, life seems to be back on track.
"Ye Hui, there is something I want to tell you."
Ye Hui, who was immersed in dealing with the backlog of affairs during his absence, was called into the office by Lin Qi. As soon as he stood still, he felt a bad breath. The atmosphere in the office was very strange, and he saw his president looking at him.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "After discussion by the board of directors, they all agreed that you have strong work ability and are flexible in handling affairs, so we decided to send you to the branch in Europe as the person in charge."
"President, this"
After hearing what his CEO said, Ye Hui finally felt relieved. He thought he was going to lose his job. The next second, he was worried about whether he was capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility. He wanted to refuse, but in
Seeing the look in the CEO's eyes when he looked at me gave me courage again. It was the same encouragement the CEO gave me when I suffered setbacks in school.
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely live up to the president's expectations."
Lin Qi looked at this subordinate who walked with him. He exuded the same confidence and courage now as before.
"By the way, the company has already bought you accommodation and travel tools over there. If you are worried about your adoptive parents, you can take them with you. Work and other things will be arranged naturally."
Ye Hui rejected this proposal. His current status was all due to the cultivation of the president and the company. It was his duty to obey the orders and he could not take it for granted to enjoy the additional benefits provided by the company.
"Then you should get off work early, spend these few days with your family, and then go to work."
Ye Hui drove back to his home in the countryside. He stood at the door and watched his adoptive parents arranging the harvested peppers in the courtyard. His gray hair and somewhat stooped body made him feel sad. In fact, his own income was enough for the two elderly people to enjoy their old age.
, but every time he mentioned the matter of picking them up into the city, they laughed and dismissed them. In fact, he knew very well that the adoptive parents were just worried about causing trouble to him. He took a deep breath to sort out his mood, and brought up all kinds of things.
Tonic and bought clothes walked in loudly.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
The two old men turned around in surprise and saw their son approaching them carrying large and small bags. Ye Hui's adoptive mother reacted first, dropped the dried red peppers in her hands, and ran over excitedly. When her son arrived,
I just remembered that my own clothes were dirty, and I gave up the idea of hugging me. Looking at my son's clean and straight suit, I couldn't bear to get it dirty, so I could only pretend to tidy up the scattered hair and asked with a smile: "Aren't you at work? Why are you doing this?
It’s time to come back.”
Putting down the things in his hands, Ye Hui directly hugged his adoptive mother, who was only as tall as his chest.
"Let go, Mom is dirty."
Worried about soiling her son's expensive suit, the adoptive mother struggled to keep her distance. Ye Hui said directly: 'Mom is clean at all times.'
There were a few shallow wrinkles in the corners of the eyes of the adoptive mother from laughter, and even tears appeared. Her son now has a successful career and is very filial to the old couple. She is really satisfied. The adoptive father on the side looked at the heartwarming scene between mother and son.
They couldn't help but wet their eyes. They couldn't help but forget that they had tidied the peppers just now. Tears flowed down freely under the stimulation of capsaicin. Ye Hui and his son were startled. They thought something had happened to him and hurried over to take care of him.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Hui's adoptive mother found it a little funny to see her old man crying and crying, and she was a little depressed. The two were dating, and she didn't see him so excited when she agreed to his proposal. Ye Hui
Seeing that his adoptive father's eyes were red and swollen, he quickly took him to the hospital.
"It's okay, I just forgot to touch the pepper and touched my eyes with my hand."
Ye Hui's adoptive father finished speaking intermittently, and then ran to the faucet to rinse his eyes. The adoptive mother laughed to tears on the side, and Ye Hui walked over worriedly: "Dad, I'd better take you to the hospital to have a look, so that you can rest assured.
"
Despite his adoptive father's repeated refusals, Ye Hui waited for the stinging sensation in his eyes to subside before dragging him to the hospital.
"Look, I just said it's okay, what are you spending the money on!"
The adoptive father looked at the more than 100 eye drops in his hand and was heartbroken. After the examination, the doctor told them that there was nothing serious and they could just go back and have a good rest for a few days. There was no need to take medicine or anything. But his son insisted on having eye drops prescribed and registered.
The total fee plus medicine money is two hundred, which is enough for my family.
A week's worth of food was spent. Ye Hui drove and saw his adoptive father's heartbroken expression in the rearview mirror. He said seriously: "This time is just a fluke. Didn't the doctor just say that if it gets serious, it will lead to blindness?"
, then all the work at home will be done by my mother alone.”
He knew his adoptive father very well, and he would definitely listen to anything that related to his adoptive mother. As expected, his adoptive father immediately became serious and approached his old wife to let her talk.
"Go, go, go, if you are still so immodest at your age, you are not afraid of children's jokes."
Having said that, the adoptive mother still put some distance between the two of them and blew on them twice. Ye Hui raised the corners of his lips when he saw the behavior of the two elders in the rearview mirror.
Decades later. Looking at it now, this model of getting along is the best.
"Mom and Dad, why don't you drink tea and brag with your old friends and sisters every day, or dance together? Why do you work up to midnight all day long to take care of that one-third of an acre of land?"
Although I know my parents are the kind of people who can't take any time off, I still can't help but say a few words when I see their increasingly vicissitudes of appearance. When I came back some time ago, I saw many elders of the same age in the same village who looked better than my parents.
He was much younger, which made Ye Hui feel very uncomfortable. These words aroused the dissatisfaction of the two elders.
Full, the adoptive father said with a proud look: "How do you know the fun in it? Watching them grow from small seeds to germination, flowering, fruiting, and finally harvesting. Expect to ferment and brew for a long time, and you can only taste it when harvesting.
Fine wine or bitter wine, the magical feeling is really indescribable."
Ye Hui was stunned when he heard these words. His adoptive father only had a junior high school education because his family was poor when he was a child. In addition, he had been in the countryside all his life, so he spoke straightforwardly and sometimes with some swear words. It was rare for him to be as refined as he is today.
Very.
"Besides, Ah Hui, the market for chili peppers in the past two years has been very good. This year's recycling of dried chili peppers has reached 20 yuan per pound. Selling the chili peppers at home will make a lot of money. When you get married,
We can also provide some subsidies.”
The adoptive father's expression returned from the pride just now to the usual philistine love of money. Ye Hui sighed in his heart that this is what he is familiar with. When he heard the last sentence, he felt a little unhappy. He already had enough ability, how could he still do it?
They need to work hard day and night to subsidize themselves. So he said in a deep voice: "In your eyes, your son is so useless, why do you still need to worry about marrying a wife?"
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Although my son is not rich now, and he can marry a wife and buy a house, he doesn't need the help of your two elders. If you have that spare money, why not take my mother out for fun and fun?
Vision.”
These words made the second elder in the back row stunned for a moment, and murmured: "We didn't think so, it's just..."
Before they finished speaking, they lowered their heads. Aging suddenly showed up on them. In fact, the old man's mind was very simple. He didn't want his children to think that he was old and useless, so they always wanted to use
Show your value in various ways. The atmosphere in the car suddenly dropped to below zero, and no one said a word along the way. After Ye Hui finished speaking, he knew that his tone was too strong, but he didn't want his parents to continue to live such a hard life.
, so it was silent all the way.
It was already after eleven o'clock when I got home, and a lot of people had gathered in front of my house. Most rural people like to gossip, especially the elderly. Therefore, people gather under the old locust tree at the door all year round.
There was a lot of chatter there.
"Hey, Ye Hui is back."
As soon as I got off the bus, my neighbor's aunt came up to me with a bowl in hand to say hello.
"Fat Aunt, you have eaten so early."
Ye Hui responded with a smile. The aunt next door is round and round, and her eyes are small, like a panda. She is warm and hospitable, but her temper is like a burst of carbon, and she cannot bear the slightest grievance. Ye Hui is on top.
I met her in person when I was in junior high school
Standing at the entrance of the village and arguing with a group of men, she scolded the men until they were red-faced and speechless. At that time, she admired her for having such a good eloquence. She practiced it secretly for a long time, but unfortunately she could not achieve it.
to that height.
"The boy is really becoming more and more handsome as he grows older."
The fat aunt sucked the noodles loudly and praised vaguely. The topping juice on the corner of her mouth was very earthy. Ye Hui felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.
"Fat Aunt, you eat slowly, we are going back first."
Ye Hui pulled his adoptive parents back home quickly, and the undisguised and rough laughter from behind reached his ears one after another. The fat aunt was actually teasing him on purpose, because the word "pleasant" is generally used to describe women.
"Mom and Dad, you can rest, I'll make lunch."
Ye Hui originally wanted to take his adoptive parents to a restaurant, but when he thought that he would soon go to a foreign country and be thousands of miles away from his adoptive parents, he changed his mind and cooked in person. Before, he rarely stayed with them because of his busy work schedule.
There are only a handful of people around me who cook for them. In order not to let my conscience get too worried, I decided to take care of the meals for these few days.
Walking into the kitchen, there were many vegetables in the refrigerator, but most of them were pickles, and the meaty one was only a piece of pork that was 70% fat and 30% lean.
"Ah Hui, let me help you."
The son is willing to fulfill his filial piety, and parents will not stop him. However, he is still worried that he will be tired, so he comes over to help. As soon as the adoptive mother came in, she saw her son standing in front of the open refrigerator in a daze. In order not to scare him, she walked closer
He just whispered in front of him.
"Mom, do you usually eat these?"
When the adoptive mother saw her son's frown, she knew that he was unhappy, so she quickly explained: "Isn't it busy these days? Eating pickles saves time. Your dad and I usually have meat and vegetables, three dishes and one soup.
."
Ye Hui didn't believe it at all. He felt very uncomfortable looking at the simple and old clothes on his adoptive mother. He thought that he would never bear to wear the clothes he bought for them.
"Mom, go and help my dad. I'll come as soon as I go."
After saying that, he walked out of the foster mother, turned around, locked the kitchen door, and walked outside. There were not many places to buy vegetables in the countryside, so Ye Hui went to several places to buy a chicken, a fish, and some fresh vegetables.
"Oh, I have vegetables growing at home, why are you buying these?"
Ye Hui got angry when he heard this, and went to the kitchen without saying a word to start working. After a while, bursts of fragrance wafted out from inside. The meals in each family are different, just like everyone's life, personal characteristics
Only you can experience the hundreds of tastes of medium, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.
