Listening to his father's proud and proud promise, Du Fan's body froze as he stood at the door. He lowered his head and paused when he saw the worn canvas shoes on his feet.

Suddenly a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Haha, Jiang Yan was really right. As expected, most of his money was used by his father to save face.

He received a subsidy for his postgraduate studies. Although it was not much, it was enough for living expenses, so almost none of the money he earned from his part-time job was given to his family. He was thinking that his mother was in poor health and couldn't do the work in the fields, and his brother still had to go to school. He would give you more money, so at least he wouldn't have to worry about medicine and tuition fees.

He had no problem with his father not going out to find work, but why should the land be abandoned? You're a farmer, you're strong, what are you doing if you don't farm?

Not only that, the money he thought they would save for medicine and tuition fees was also scattered.

Du Fan took a deep breath and strode into the yard.

"? Xiaofan?"

Du Fan's mother saw him first, put down the dustpan she was holding, and came up to him in surprise, "Why are you back? Why didn't you call to say something? You haven't eaten yet? Are you hungry?"

When the mother greeted her, Du Fan's father also stood up happily and said, "Why don't you call me when you get to town so that I can pick you up?"

Aunt Du Fan also looked at him with a smile. This nephew was promising. When he came back, he could help her pay off her son's gambling debt.

"Mom, I want to eat noodles."

"Okay, Mom will roll out the noodles for you."

Du Fan ordered his mother to leave, turned around and asked his aunt to sit down, and asked casually, "How are you doing, brother Jun? Are you doing well in the construction team?"

After he was admitted to college, Du Fan rarely stayed home. He mostly worked part-time during the winter and summer vacations. At most, he came back during the Spring Festival to spend the New Year. Otherwise, where would he have paid for his tuition and living expenses during the years he was in college? Just getting a scholarship isn't enough.

So he really didn't know about his aunt's cousin's gambling.

"What a construction team? That's not a job that humans can do. It's too tiring, and your military brother can't do it."

His aunt looked at Du Fan with envy as she spoke, "It's not like you. You can study well and have been admitted to a good university. You can sit in an office without being exposed to wind or rain, and you can make a lot of money easily. Xiaofan, you Seeing as your brother Jun is tall and tall, is there any suitable job for him in your office? Find one for him."

Is it good to be tall?

Are you looking for a job or a date?

Du Fan rarely chatted with his elders in the family before, and for the first time he found the content of this chat to be really thought-provoking.

He gave his aunt a strange look and said, "Who did you hear that I would sit in the office? I haven't graduated yet, and I still have a few years to go to school. How can I have time to work?"

As soon as Du Fan said this, his aunt and father were stunned.

His dad asked hurriedly, "Didn't you say after the Chinese New Year that your schoolmate asked you to help in his company? And you have been sending money home every month for the past six months. Isn't that salary?" Du Fan pretended not to know. His father lent money to his aunt and said calmly, "Did you hear it correctly? It's not a company, it's a project that my teacher took over. Didn't my mother feel uncomfortable at that time? I begged the teacher to let me follow. We do this together so that we can earn some money to buy medicine for my mother. Last month the project ended and the teacher gave me a little more money. Didn’t I ask you when I called you? Did my mother have enough money to buy medicine this year? I’ll let you keep it all.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for his father's reaction, he added, "I was on the bus when you called me last time. It was too noisy. I didn't hear the first sentence clearly. Later, I seemed to hear you talking about salary advance. What kind of salary advance? Who should I turn to for the advance payment? Let’s not talk about the previous payment in the past six months. Last month I paid 9,500 to my family. I didn’t keep any of the bonus the teacher gave me. Look at the clothes on my body. I have been wearing this T-shirt for three years, and I am not willing to buy a new one. And my shoes, the front of them are almost pushed open by me, and I am not willing to pay for the thirty yuan shoes. Just thinking of me When my mother is in pain, I can’t let her endure it any longer. If I can earn enough money for her medicine, I can study with peace of mind in the second half of the year. The courses for the third year of graduate school are tight, and I have to study for a Ph.D. next year. I want to find time after that. It’s too difficult to work part-time.”

He finished speaking in one breath, and his father was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing. He looked at his son's clothes and shoes again, and his face turned red and white.

After his aunt came to her senses, she couldn't help blurting out, "Didn't your dad say you earn more than 10,000 yuan a month?"

"More than ten thousand?" Du Fan turned to look at his father in surprise, "Did you make a mistake? Three months is almost enough."

Years later, when the company was first established, Jing Junyang's salary for Du Fan was 5,000. In May, the first game was released, and part of the payment was returned to Du Fan, which was increased to 7,000, and then to 10,000 last month. .

Fortunately, Jing Junyang didn't give him more money, otherwise Du Fan might have jumped up in anger, because no matter how much he gave, the family would still not have a penny left.

However, his aunt's focus was obviously not here. She stared at him closely and asked, "What do you mean by the end of the project just now? Can't the salary be advanced?"

"We don't call this salary, this is called project bonus. Also, there is no such thing as an advance."

As he said that, he pretended not to understand his aunt's intention, and said with a shy smile, "But don't worry, aunt, I should have earned enough for my mother's medicine and Xiaofeng's tuition in half a year, right dad?"

His father had a stiff face and didn't respond.

When Aunt Du Fan understood this, she felt a chill in her heart. She turned to look at her brother and gritted her teeth and said, "You have just promised me, and you must keep your words."

Du Fan's father's face turned green and red, his mouth opened and closed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said to Du Fan, "Xiao Fan, you know a lot of people in college, ask your rich classmates if they can Borrow tens of thousands of yuan from them to help your aunt turn around and help your brother Jun pay off his debts."

Du Fan's eyes turned cold and he asked his father, "I asked my classmate to borrow money, who will pay it back?"

His father said nothing, and neither did Aunt Du Fan.

Du Fan smiled, and two strings of tears flowed from his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe them away, but then they rolled down again.

From the first day of college, he knew that it was impossible to rely on his family, so he studied hard to earn a scholarship, worked hard during holidays to earn tuition and money for his mother's medicine, but what did he earn in the end?

Who is he saving for?

Du Fan's mother hurriedly came over to help him wipe his tears. Her hands were as bony as wood and her face was sallow. After giving birth to her younger brother Du Fan, she jumped into the river to save Du Fan who fell into the water and caught the cold when she was about to be born. After that, she went to work in the fields again after the baby was born, and her health never recovered.

Du Fan felt that he owed his mother, so after going to college and earning money, he kept trying his best to send money home so that his mother would feel safe and not suffer because of her reluctance to spend money.

But he didn't expect that his father, who used to be dull and inarticulate, would now act like this just to save face.
