Return to Splendid

Chapter 120 I’m going to your house today

Xing Yi stayed in Ma'anshan for a day and returned to the county town at noon the next day. It was time to get off work. He had no time to put his things back at the hotel, so he went to pick up Ni Shuzhen at the sorting center of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

"Come back?" Ni Shuzhen looked happy.

"I'm back." He said with a smile, "I came back at noon yesterday and went to Ma'anshan first."

"Did you go to see your uncle and aunt? Are they all well?"

"My mother has a problem with her femoral head, and I'm worried. I'm going to discuss sending her for a checkup."

"Femoral head?"

"Now I feel pain and have difficulty walking. If it progresses, it will lead to necrosis and difficulty in moving."

"What should I do?"

"Perform surgery to replace the femoral head."

"Then we need to go to a big hospital?"

"Provincial medical care is the best."

"Is this a big surgery?"

"It's a bit big."

"How much will the medical expenses cost?"

"I consulted the hospital and it was more than 2 yuan."

"So much."

"It's okay, I already have the money."

"Where did you get the money?"

"The stones I brought were sold."

Ni Shuzhen noticed a rectangular satin box and a canvas backpack next to him.No stones were seen.He asked, "Didn't you bring the stone to the expo? Where is the stone?"

He said: "I met a destined person, offered [-] yuan, and sold it to him."

"Seventy thousand?" Ni Shuzhen was stunned.

"Really." Xing Yi smiled.

She wanted to ask, what do you do with the [-] yuan?The words rolled in his throat and went back. If he asked accidentally, he would misunderstand him. This person is a money addict, which would be bad.

Xing Yi did not pay attention to Ni Shuzhen's expression, and continued according to his own thoughts: "The base made by the carpenter in the small village. It can be said that without his skills, the stone would not be sold at the price. I had discussed it with him before. , with two average incomes, so I have to give him [-]. Yesterday I gave [-] to my mother."

Ni Shuzhen bit her lower lip, turned around and looked away, saying in her heart, tell me whatever you want to do, did I ask?

After Xing Yi finished speaking, he took out a box with extremely slow movements, opened it, took out his new mobile phone, and flashed it in front of Ni Shuzhen's eyes.

"Ah, blue phone?"

This kind of palm-sized mobile phone is only used by provincial bureau leaders. People in the county are only equipped with Big Brother phones. Director Na Fei owns one. At the conference, he took it out and stood beside it like a guard.

Ni Shuzhen raised her head and looked toward the sky.

Xing Yi knew what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I know that the county's first foundation project report has been approved."

"Even if the first one is built, won't it be enough?"

"Yes, to achieve full urban and rural coverage in the county, there will be at least fifty."

"Do you know how long it will take to build one?"

"Don't worry, the construction of communication facilities is very fast, one thing every year."

"I hope so."

Next, he told Ni Shuzhen: "I'm going to your house today."

Ni Shuzhen said: "Are you ready?"

He opened the box and showed Ni Shuzhen the brand-new musical instrument Erhu inside.

"This is?"

"Bought for your dad."

Then he took out two pounds of high-grade wool from the canvas bag.

Ni Shuzhen was surprised: "How do you know what musical instruments my father likes to play and my mother likes to knit sweaters?"

Xing Yi smiled: "You don't need to inquire about it. Think about it, if I want to go home with you, can I not get to know your parents in advance?"

There was also a pair of leather shoes. Xing Yi said, "I bought these for your brother."

Ni Shuzhen said disdainfully: "Don't buy anything for him, he doesn't deserve it."

"It's okay if you don't buy it. I want to communicate with him head-on to ensure that it is convenient to enter and leave your home in the future."

"I hang out with that little gangster all day long and do nothing good..."

"If that guy is really a gangster, then you can't blame him. He made careless friends and met people of bad character, which made his path go astray step by step. Take your time and find a way to cut off the connection between them. It will change.”

"If you don't learn well, you associate with people indiscriminately. You don't distinguish between right and wrong. You are like a dog. Instigated by others, you do whatever you are told and cause trouble everywhere."

"Why do you use this metaphor? You are my sister and you are always disgusted. You have the responsibility to help him and bring him back from the edge of danger. Don't do this in the future."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xing Yi followed Ni Shuzhen and entered their home.

Father Ni was watching TV, and the scene was exactly the same as Xing Yi expected.

Xing Yi greeted each of them politely.

Ni Shuzhen took the gifts from his hand and handed them to her parents one by one, saying: "The erhu is for dad, and the yarn is for mom."

I didn’t say who the leather shoes were for, I just put the box down casually.

Father Ni couldn't wait to open the box, took out only the erhu, and carefully examined the snake skin, bow, ponytail, and knobs.I have seen the faucet everywhere, rubbed it with rosin, made a few chirping sounds, and gave a thumbs up to myself and said: "Good stuff, it must be very expensive."

Xing Yi hurriedly said: "It's not expensive, I asked a master to check it to make sure the sound quality is good."

"The purpose of my asking is to give you money."

Ni Shuzhen said: "Dad, is it appropriate for you to ask this?"

My father said: "Why is it inappropriate? My brothers will settle the score."

Xing Yi said: "Uncle, I give this to you sincerely. As long as you think the sound quality is good, I'll be relieved."

Mother held the cashmere thread and couldn't put it down.

"Look at the yarn. The quality is great and the color is comfortable. You girl, you don't know how to keep anything your parents like secret, so you just reveal it to others casually."

"No matter what I said, I don't know where he figured it out."

"What? You are willing to do something, but you are afraid that you will not find a way out?"

Ni Shuzhen and her mother entered the back room holding wool in their arms.

There were only two men left in the guest room.

Father Ni pursed his lips toward the teacup; "Drink tea, or smoke?"

"No smoking."

"Well, that's good. Where do you work?"

"Working at a hydropower plant."

"What?"

"Do maintenance."

“Electrician or fitter?”

"All."

"The salary is high?"

"It's not too high, it's passable."

"So you are very frugal in your life?"

Xing Yi didn't say anything. He spent nearly a thousand yuan on these things, which was unimaginable for a family like them.He answered with a smile.

Father Ni frowned slightly. Talking about her daughter's friends is a major matter in the family. Her daughter is a smart person, but she sometimes gets confused. Therefore, as a parent, it is the duty and responsibility to help her daughter understand the situation. The questioning needs to continue.

"Where are your parents? Where are they and what are they doing?"

Xing Yi said that his father was doing farm work in the countryside, and his mother did nothing. She was busy cooking for her father at home.

"Were they always in the country?"

"When I was very young, they lived in the city and then came down."

"What about you? Are you coming along too?"

"I studied in the city, on and off."

Glancing out of the corner of your eye.

"Are there any relatives in the city?"

"No."

"Then, how do you live alone?"

"Come back from school and cook for yourself."

With that said, Aunt Quan came in. When she saw Xing Yi, she couldn't help but grinned: "Okay, what did I say? Young people today are very different from our time. They are very generous. You see, it must be both sides. We were all satisfied, and we made an appointment to go home together. I came to see my parents first, that’s right, and I know etiquette. You didn’t come empty-handed, right? If you come in empty-handed, pigs and dogs won’t smell you.”
