Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

Chapter 164 Variety Show Migrant Worker Father 4

As soon as the heavy rain stopped, the sky in the east immediately turned red!

Well, it’s another sunny day.

Quitting the job went smoothly and was done with just one phone call.

For migrant workers, it’s not that complicated. Just report to the foreman and you can leave on the same day.

In July, I only worked 7 and a half nights.

It was agreed that the salary would be directly transferred to his bank card on the 15th of next month.

When his fellow villager and co-worker Jing Dayong woke up, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan had almost packed his things.

"Ah~ Woo~, so comfortable."

Jing Dayong stared with dazed eyes, sat up and stretched lazily.

Suddenly I looked next door and all the sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Huh? Why is the mat gone?

He looked up in panic and saw that Jing Yuan had already packed all his things, and immediately started shouting out of curiosity.

"Yuanzi, what's wrong with you? It's not a festival, why are you packing your luggage?"

"Hey, Brother Yong is awake!

If you don't wake up, I will call you. I'm looking for you for something."

"What's the matter? Tell me.

As long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to make it beautiful for you."

“It’s not a big deal.

I just want to borrow your phone to buy a train ticket back home.

I will transfer the money to you in two days after I buy a new phone."

"What the hell? You want to go back home? So suddenly? Could it be that Uncle Liang is in trouble?"

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth!

The bad ones don’t work and the good ones don’t work.

My cousin is in good health and will have no problem living another ten years."

"Why are you going home at this hour?

You don't save money to marry your daughter-in-law? "

"Jing Shang called me yesterday and said he had a girlfriend in a big city and he would bring her home to visit her soon.

You know, if I don’t go back and renovate those three shabby houses, my daughter-in-law might be scared away.”

“That’s true.

Not to mention girls from big cities, even girls from the countryside would definitely not want to live in your shabby house.

Alas, things are different now than before. It’s really difficult to find a wife.

I have to buy a house in the city and my child needs to go to school.

The house at home also needs to be repaired. If not, the villagers will look down on you.

Here, take the phone and buy it yourself!

You are more familiar with this than I am.

I graduated from a literacy class and I only know a few big characters.

By the way, aren’t you going to build a house? Have you found a construction team?

“Hey, don’t mention it.

Just last night, Jing Shang called me and said he wanted to bring his girlfriend home to see me.

I was so panicked that I couldn't sleep all night. After thinking it over, I decided that I should go back quickly and tear down the house and rebuild it.

Your son’s newly built European-style villa is very nice.

Luxurious, grand and impressive!

Just build it according to that.

However, I am short of money, so I only plan to build two floors.

There are bathrooms on the first and second floors.

Now that the village has access to natural gas, we no longer have to use a clay stove in the kitchen. We are decorating it like the kitchens in big cities. It’s bright and spacious!”

“I was the one who renovated my son’s house!

Otherwise, you can buy a train ticket from me and I will go to work for you.

Just pay me according to the price from my hometown.

We two can do the decoration work and save a lot of money!

I haven't been back for more than half a year. Your sister-in-law has a bad back and is taking care of two grandchildren at home alone. It's really annoying.

I originally planned to finish this year and not come out to work next year.

I'm over 60 years old and can't do it anymore.

It just so happens that you have work to do here, so you can go back early, so you don’t have to worry about me and lose sleep every day!"

Wow! Lieutenant General Jing Yuan raised his head and glanced at Jing Dayong in surprise.

Just out of curiosity, how could someone say something so shameless?

Not to mention yesterday, he listened to snoring all night.

In the original owner's memory, this guy's sleep quality was extremely good.

Every day I fall asleep the moment my head touches the pillow and I can’t be woken up even if there is a thunder in the middle of the night.

“Have you thought it through?

If you have made up your mind, I will buy the ticket for you, okay?

If you regret it later, you will waste money. "

"Think it over, don't regret it!

It's not easy to find a job that can make money near home.

If you miss this village, you will miss that store.

By the way, also buy a green train sleeper ticket starting with the letter K.

It's just right to sleep at night and get home tomorrow morning, saving money and trouble."

"Row.

I'm leaving the construction of this house in your hands.

Don’t bother with the labor. I’ll just give you the contractor’s money directly.

Paid monthly, 10,000 yuan a month.

Find me some more people, and finish building the house by the end of August, painting the exterior walls, and renovating the toilet and kitchen on the first floor."

"So urgent? And you entrusted me with everything? What are you doing?"

“Oh, don’t mention it.

Xiao En and his girlfriend will participate in the recording of a live variety show starting in August. What’s the name of it? “Love Observation Diary” or something?

I may be required to appear in September.

I have to think carefully about how to behave so as not to hold my child back."

"Wow, this is incredible! Your little En is going to be on TV and become a big star?"

“No no, that’s definitely not the case!

It's said that it's only broadcast online.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but this variety show was designated for the girls by their parents.

It is said that if you want to have a naked marriage without a house, a car or a dowry, you must get the respect and blessings of the majority of netizens!

You also know Xiao En, a sensible and excellent child since he was young.

It's a pity that when it comes to marriage, people have always emphasized matching of social status since ancient times.

If I don't dress up properly, I'll be in trouble.

After returning to my hometown, I will first buy a touch-screen phone and then go to get a driver's license.

After getting my driver’s license, I immediately bought a Wuling Hongguang to drive.

Oh, and I have to buy some younger clothes and dye my hair black. I just hope I don’t embarrass the child when we meet.”

"Oh, if you say so, it will take at least 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.

Do you have enough money?

By then, my children want to buy a house in the city.

What if I don’t have money in my pocket?

"Have you forgotten who my parents are?"

“How could I forget this?

Small landlord?

I heard from the older generation that the better your parents’ lives were when they were young, the more miserable their lives were when they were young.

It's really sad!

So according to you, your parents left something for you?

Then why are you going through all the trouble to come out and do hard labor?

I don't see you are that rich, do you? "

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and the memory of the original owner's father's death quietly emerged in his mind.

According to what the original owner's father said, the family did leave some things for the younger generations. They can be found by digging three feet down under the original owner's grandfather's coffin.

And they were told not to dig unless they had no other choice.

In 90, the original owner would rather drop out of school and not go to high school than go digging.

One is that I was afraid of disturbing my grandfather’s spirit in heaven.

The second, and most crucial point, was that at that time, such a huge fortune was like a child carrying gold in a busy city, and it was impossible to keep it alive.

In 2023, when the original owner learned that his wife had stomach cancer, he planned to wait until his savings were spent before digging it out.

In order to let his wife feel at ease during the treatment, the original owner immediately told his wife everything about the digging.

Unexpectedly, the wife realized that if she continued with the treatment, she would only lose both her life and her money.

She was afraid that she could not prevail against her husband, so she left a will and committed suicide by drinking pesticide.

The original owner was so filled with self-blame, sadness, and regret that he completely forgot all about leaving good things for his descendants.

If it weren't for Lieutenant General Jing Yuan, who wanted to make a fuss about the original owner's parents' background and openly took out the gold bars in the system warehouse to exchange for money, he wouldn't have dug out the original owner's obscure memory.

As for digging up the original owner’s grandfather’s grave?

That's certainly impossible.

In this world, he has no shortage of good things to exchange for money.

Seeing that Jing Yuan didn't speak for a long time, Jing Dayong scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Self-help road:

"Oh, I understand!

After all, it is the thought left by our parents!

Until that point, no one wants to exchange it for money.

Before my mother died, she gave me a gold ring, and I have kept it well until now!

My wife asked me for it many times and wanted to wear it, but I was reluctant to give it to her.

Look, I have a red string hanging around my neck.

When I first came out to look for a job, I was so poor that I had to sleep on the streets, on overpasses, and drink river water. Even with this, I couldn’t bear to sell it!”

Jing Dayong couldn't help wiping away tears when he talked about the sad part.

"Oh, that's true. Those things were saved by my grandfather at the cost of his life.

Sooner or later it will be passed on to Xiao En.

It costs several million to buy a house in a big city.

Whether or not you can exchange it for the down payment is another matter.

That's about all I have anyway.

The rest is up to them.

I won’t cause trouble for the younger generations either.

I am living my retirement life in my old house.

So, Brother Yong, you have to pay more attention to the quality of the house."

"That's for sure. You can rest assured that I'm watching you."
