Chapter 98 The Inarticulate Dad
If possible, put the book on the bookshelf, it is convenient for you, and I am very grateful for your support!
When Feng Zhenchang came back this time, his treatment was different from the previous treatment. Although he was not returning home, he was very popular.
From the time he arrived at Meijiayan, people kept greeting him warmly and asking him about his business in the provincial capital. He knew very well in his heart that these people in the past didn't think much of him as a son-in-law in the mountains, even though Meijiayan was also in the mountains.
But we are good at finding various advantages. Big cities look down on small cities, small cities look down on towns, towns look down on countryside, and countryside near towns look down on countryside farther away from towns.
Meijiawan is close to the town, and there is a provincial road next to it. It is understandable to look down on Feng Jiachong, who is in a deeper mountain, because there is no road.
But it's different now, Wang Changning's parents will follow them to the provincial capital in a few days. This is different from other people who work in factories and construction sites and take people from the village out. They only take out the young people in the family, and they always keep people in the family to farm. Feng Zhenchang dared to bring Wang Changning's parents to Go to the provincial capital, let them not even plant the land, and leave no way out. I'm not sure he dares to do such a thing? Said that his business in the provincial capital will not last long and will not make money? how is this possible?
After coming out of Meijiawan and returning to the village, the people I met were even more enthusiastic. They were all shouting at their fathers and uncles, and they kept offering him cigarettes. When he returned home, all the cigarettes in his pockets were collected Enough for two packs.
He can clearly tell that the people he meets today are definitely different from when he was called in the past. In the past, everyone called him just out of respect for his seniority and age. Today is different, and it is out of respect for him as a person.
This is also very understandable. Those children who are working outside now have to save 1,000 yuan a year, and they usually have to be very, very frugal. What Feng Zhenchang does can earn at least three or four thousand yuan a year, and it can be done for a long time. Why don't you want to do it?
The current rural areas have not been infected with the impetuosity of the later cities. The farmers are very down-to-earth, and no one has the intention of getting rich overnight. Everyone likes such things that don’t involve much investment, earn a lot of money, and last for a long time.
Therefore, when Feng Zhenchang came home today, his face was redder, his back was straighter, his voice was louder, and when he saw the two neighbors who used to have the best life in the village, he was full of confidence.
According to the American psychologist Maslow's theory, along the way, he has been fully respected and his high-level needs have been met, so he is more confident. And this kind of self-confidence adds to his behavior, so the aura shown on the outside is stronger.
Of course, he is still a dutiful farmer, who has believed in the doctrine of the mean for decades, is used to being cautious, and does not know how to put on airs and put on airs.
However, his good mood was inevitably affected when he saw Feng Yuxuan.
Feng Yuxuan graciously fetched water for her father, made tea, and fanned him when she was done.
However, seeing her father's downcast face after sending away everyone who went home, she felt the familiar tension again.
Sure enough, when everyone left, Feng Zhenchang started to get mad, "I haven't come home for several years once I go out, and I don't even have a letter. What are you doing now? Isn't your wings hard? If you have the ability, never come back!"
Feng Yuxuan was a little disappointed when she saw that her mother didn't come back with her. She knew that her wishful thinking might be in vain this time, but she didn't expect that her father would yell at her head and face when she saw her for a few years.
I went out to work for three years and didn't come home. I knew that the family was in trouble but I still didn't send a penny back; I haven't seen her for a few years, and my father didn't ask her if she was doing well. I hit a hard nail; I had a good wishful thinking at first, but now it seems that it will probably come to nothing...
Guilt, grievance, disappointment... All kinds of emotions were intertwined, and she couldn't help crying. Seeing his daughter crying, Feng Zhenchang felt a little guilty, but he still pretended to be angry and smoked outside the gate.
You can vaguely hear Feng Hongbing's mother persuading him, "Of course it's not right for Yuxuan not to go home for a few years, but she's a girl, and it's definitely not easy for her to be outside these years. Uncle, don't blame her anymore, just come back. Besides, she is so old now, how can she bear it if you scold her so much?"
She came in after a while and said to Feng Yuxuan, "Yuxuan, don't blame your dad, you said you are a girl, you don't come home for three years, your parents don't even know what you are doing there, Why aren't they worried? I'm going to blame you, not to mention your father scolding you a few times, just beat you up. Just a few scoldings is fine, it's all over, don't cry anymore. "
If Feng Yiping was here, he would calmly tell Feng Yuxuan, what is there to cry about? This is how Dad and his generation express themselves.
When Feng Yiping and the others were young, Feng Zhenchang would definitely be like Feng Yiping when he first became a father, hugging them when he was free, pretending to prick them with his hard beard from time to time, making them laugh...
But when the children grow up, he grew up in the era of believing in "a filial son is born under the stick". It may be the influence inherited from his grandparents, or it may be the social division of labor that made him consciously act as a strict father. In the role of "Strict Love, Tolerance is Harm", he rarely treats his children with kindness, and there will be no physical contact except when he hits you.
He never said to Feng Yuxuan in a gentle and earnest manner, we don't expect you to subsidize the family, but you have been away for several years and have not come home, and there has been no news. Do you know how much we miss you and worry about you?
He would not tell Feng Yuxuan that every year during the Chinese New Year, thinking of his daughter being alone outside, in the dead of night, worrying about being unable to sleep with Mei Qiuping, avoiding Feng Yiping, sighing, and feeling that the family is not reunited. Unhappy New Years?
…………
Although parents say that they will not favor one child, in reality, those children who are sensible and obedient will of course get more care.
However, that sentence is also true, "the palms of the hands and the back of the hands are all meat", obedient or not, sensible or not, worry-free or not, they are all their own children, how could parents not love them?
Seeing the daughter of another family who went out to work with Feng Yuxuan, returning home every year, sending money to the family every month, Feng Zhenchang, who had always been embarrassed, sometimes complained that his daughter was not sensible, but at the moment when he saw his daughter today, These complaints dissipated, but he was just not good at expressing them.
Perhaps, "beating is kissing, scolding is love", "deep love, severe responsibility" are more suitable for parents to Feng Yiping and sister.
This is Feng Zhenchang's unique way of expression, this is Feng Zhenchang's love.
