every Spring Festival, the people who work away from the country always carry large bags and small bags to catch up, only for a reunion year. But there are also some people who have worked hard to have their own small family in the city, hoping to get their parents who live in the countryside for the new year.
recently, Tencent net friend "@shihao668000" Mr. Shi sent a spring festival story saying that this year's wife just gave birth to his son, they did not go home, ready to get their parents from Huangzhou, Hubei, to Guangdong for the new year. Before his parents set out, he repeatedly urged that there should be more people on the way to the Spring Festival. However, the old father and the old mother still brought 100 kilograms of peanut oil and 300 eggs. "The Spring Festival is squeezed again, and the affection of the family is always blocked." Mr. Shi said passionately.
reporter contacted Mr. Shi, who is 26 years old and Huangzhou, Hubei. After finishing his university in Wuhan, he went to work in Foshan, Guangdong, for three years now.
"I earn more than 3000 yuan a month, not much in the locals." Mr. Shi said that after he got married, he could not afford to buy a house, so he applied for a more than 20 square "husband and wife room" with his wife to the factory. After the birth of his son, a family of three lived in this warm hut.
Mr. Shi said that although he had not yet bought a house, he still wanted his parents to look at the outside world and wanted to bring the two old people to the new year. In addition, the son is not yet full of one year old, if the child is sick on the way of the Spring Festival, he can't afford to lose. Mr. Shi and his parents discussed with each other, and the two elder parents agreed to celebrate the new year in Foshan.
in the past years, Mr. Shi returned home from Spring Festival to take a slow train to save money, and it took more than 20 hours on the way. This year, the two old people's road of spring transportation is also very difficult, Mr. Shi's parents have been more than 50 years old, they first traveled from Huangzhou to Macheng, and then from Macheng to Guangzhou, and then two hours to Foshan.
"this is the first time the two elder went away alone." Mr. Shi said he had told them not to bring any local products, but the old father and the old mother were carrying three big pot of peanut oil and a big box of soil eggs under the car. "Seeing my parents for a moment, a little bit of tears."
Mr. Shi said that in order to keep the eggs from being knocked down on the road, parents first put eggs in an egg tray, put them in a carton, and then put it in a newspaper.
these 300 native eggs were bought by their neighbors besides their own chickens. The second generation smiled and said they had eaten it for their daughter-in-law and grandson.
in order to make his parents comfortable, Mr. Shi specifically asked his colleague to lend a room. "Everyone knows my parents are coming to the new year, and they are very helpful."
when asked about the old man's habits in Foshan, Mr. Shi laughed and said, "my parents still like to spend the year in their home. After all, relatives are a little bit more and more lively." They came to their homes all the way to relax their children. "
