Sharpen one's knife to one's parents

Cheng Xiang's father suddenly took another drag on his cigarette and said slowly, "My father really can't afford it. When you bought a house, I borrowed 80 thousand. I have borrowed everything I can. The bride price of 30 thousand yuan is your father's cash cow. Why not sell your parents and see if it's worth the money? " Looking at his father's thin and dark face, Cheng Xiang remembered the Mulan poems he had read in those years. "I smell my sister and sharpen my knife to cattle and sheep." A classmate in the class read "Little brother smells my sister and sharpens his knife to my parents." At that time, the whole class laughed, and even now Cheng Xiang remembers that he laughed so hard that tears almost fell. The boy looked silly!

Cheng Xiang felt that he was now the executioner who sharpened his knife to his parents and prepared to eat his meat and drink his blood. In fact, this is not the first time to sharpen my knife to my parents.

Cheng Xiang's family is a poor family in rural areas. When he was a child, the food he ate at home was out of oil. He is so poor that he has to pretend to be sick if he wants to eat chicken legs. His mother is willing to kill the chickens that laid eggs at home. His mother cooked with a chicken for a month. At that time, the soup cooked with chicken bones was really delicious. Although his life is good now, Cheng Xiang dares not say that he is a civilian, but laughs at himself as a poor man! When did it start? Maybe he was born with a knife. My mother said that before Cheng Xiang was born, he dreamed that a big bird fell from the sky. Later, my mother heard it was an eagle. It is said that the child has a bright future. You see, his life was sealed before he was born. My parents spent three yuan to find the most famous fortune teller in the village, hoping that he could fly like an eagle!

Speaking of which, Cheng Xiang didn't let his family down. Just learn from an early age. Teachers boast every day that the future is college material and will be promising in the future. But no one expected that this "college material" was stuck in the senior high school entrance examination, and fate seemed like a joke. The county high school almost arrived. If you want to go to school, you need to borrow 8 thousand yuan, 8 thousand. At that time, your parents earned less than 1000 a month.

"Dad, let me go out to work, I can earn money, and it's useless to study!" !

"Dad, there is no shortage of part-time jobs at home."

This is the first time in Cheng Xiang's memory that he was defeated. His father sold the pigs he planned to stay at home for the Spring Festival and borrowed some from relatives and neighbors. I remember the day he went to school in the county, and his father told Zaizai to study hard and sell you iron when he was admitted to the university. He will be a big official in the future, so that your father can enjoy the scenery! At that time, Cheng Xiang wanted to tell his father that he could not be a big official, there were many people who studied well, and he was nothing. He is the first in the village and can't enter the county seat, but looking at his father's eager eyes, Cheng Xiang can't say anything. Although Cheng Xiang worked hard in high school, he didn't play games, listen to songs or read novels. His grades are still in the middle and lower reaches, and he was only admitted to a third-rate university. After the results came out, Cheng Xiang's father invited relatives and neighbors to dinner. His father drank a lot that day and kept saying that he was proud. Although he is a farmer, he can still raise a college student, which is the only one in the village!

When Cheng Xiang first went to college, he felt like a bumpkin. He doesn't know who Jay Chou is or what a big book is. His roommate told him to go to Baidu, and Cheng Xiang asked what Baidu was, which caused his roommate to laugh! Cheng Xiang thinks that college is really good, and he can learn a lot! In my sophomore year, all six people in our dormitory had computers. Although Cheng Xiang also goes out to work part-time, the money earned by the computer is still far from enough.

Dad, the teacher asked each of us to have a computer, but we didn't have it in our class and we couldn't get our homework.

Can't I borrow it?

Everyone has to do homework. How can I borrow it? In fact, Cheng Xiang thought about how he was so unfortunate more than once. He was born in such a family, and sure enough, life is different.

A month later, Cheng Xiang received 3000 yuan from his father. In fact, Cheng Xianghua spends far more time playing games than studying, or computers are not used for studying. Later, I learned that it was the land that my father looked after for a month every night. I was bitten by mosquitoes and covered in bags.

Finally, after graduating from college, Cheng Xiang worked hard and found a good job. In a small county, Cheng Xiang is satisfied with his salary of about 3,000 a month, and so are his parents. When you go out, just say that my boy is an office, not tired. He sat for more than 3 thousand a month, not bad! It's less than three years since parents were satisfied, and it's time for Cheng Xiang to get married. Cheng Xiang attaches great importance to a girl in the unit, and they get along well. But when it comes to getting married, the woman proposes that she must buy a house in the county. The average house price in the county is about 4,000 yuan, and the down payment for an 80-square-meter house is100000. It's too difficult for the Cheng family. Cheng Xiang and his father smoked all night, which made Cheng Xiang cry all night. More than a month later, Cheng Xiang received a phone call from his father, asking him to go back at the weekend. After returning home, there were 87,432 yuan on the kang. Cheng Xiang clearly remembers that his father didn't smoke that day, but the dry smoke in the house made his eyes ache.

Cheng Xiang proposed with something, and the woman's parents asked for 30 thousand bride price money. What hardware is there? Cheng Xiang calculated psychologically that the next 50 thousand marriage could not be stopped. To tell the truth, the bride price of marrying a daughter of 30 thousand is not much, but for Cheng Xiang, there are so many, so many, Cheng Xiang dare not and can no longer tell her parents, so she has been dragging on. With a salary of more than 3,000 yuan and a mortgage of nearly 2,000 yuan, Cheng Xiang feels very useless! After nearly a year's delay, Cheng Xiang's parents urged him many times. Finally, Cheng Xiang told the truth impatiently, and the bride price was still 30 thousand. You think it's over!

Looking at the parents' rickety back, Cheng Xiang suddenly stood up. "I'm not married to my parents, don't worry." After that, Cheng Xiang won't leave.

Mother's sobs came from behind. "It's all our fault, son. What can we do? " .

Sorry, we can't get married. You know my family situation, I can't keep you. Let's break up! Orange received Cheng Xiang's WeChat and called her mother in tears, complaining that you wanted 30 thousand bride price. It's so difficult, how can his family do it? It is good to have a house! Now Xiang is breaking up with me. You are happy!

I guess you must think that oranges don't need a bride price in the end, and they are very happy with Xiang!

Unfortunately, life is never a novel. Later, I heard that Orange's mother introduced him to a man with a house, a car and a deposit. They get along very well and plan to get married in the second half of the year! Cheng Xiang, I heard that he is still working overtime and hard. He is going to save a bride price to marry his wife! Cheng Xiang's parents are still working hard. I heard that they bought several acres of land this year. They want to earn more money to pay off the famine of buying a house first, but the old couple don't want to hire anyone to help. ...

Anyway, the story always has an ending, but life goes on. Once I saw an aunt in her sixties in the bank and asked me if I could only write my own phone number when I applied for a credit card, because my son couldn't know that I had applied for a credit card, otherwise he would rob me. Now my son has returned all his credit cards by himself. When I was crossing the street, I heard several old people say that now, as long as our children don't want money, retirement wages are enough. The aunt downstairs obviously has a son and a daughter, but she still goes to the trash can every day to find out if there are any plastic bottles and paper shells. ...

When I was a child, we told my parents that I would be filial to you when I grew up. Maybe when we step into the society, it is filial piety to our parents to say that we will never be in debt! At least in this way, they don't have to save money to get married and buy a house for you, take care of your children at that age, and occasionally subsidize your life. ...
