I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 412: Hometown I Can't Return To, Faraway Place I Live In

"Qiangzi, it's really you!"

When Feng Qiang's parents saw Feng Qiang in the video, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

In the past two years, they have called Feng Qiang many times via video but none of the calls went through. They thought Feng Qiang wanted to completely cut off ties with them.

The old couple lived frugally, cut back on their expenses, and sold everything they had to support their son's education and study abroad.

More than ten years ago, wages were actually very low, and coupled with the exchange rate, in order to support Feng Qiang to study abroad, the old couple really gave up everything and gritted their teeth to get through it.

The couple had no objection to the child staying outside.

After all, for people of that era, foreign skins were considered to be more attractive, and sending their son to study abroad was actually done in the hope that he could stay abroad and live a better life.

But they didn't expect that Feng Qiang would be so indifferent and that family affection became so weak.

It has been more than ten years, and he hasn't come back to see me. In the past two years, I haven't even been able to call or video call him.

This made the old couple regretful.

Look at many people around us, whose children stay in the country to study or work. Basically, they can be surrounded by their children and grandchildren in their later years and enjoy the happiness of family.

Moreover, studying in China is not too stressful, life is pretty good, and my children are doing quite well.

Looking back at his own family, even though Feng Qiang used to be the best at studying and seemed to have the most promising future, now, the old couple are the most miserable.

It's fine normally, except during festivals.

Every other household is bustling with activity, but his own home is deserted. The old man has no one to rely on and it is as if his son Feng Qiang does not exist. He has not even received a phone call or video call to show his concern.

When they were sick, the old couple supported each other, and with the help of people in the community, they got through it.

But they are both old now, and they will definitely get sick in the future. Who can they rely on in the future?
"We all thought you didn't want us anymore."

Feng Qiang's father choked up.

He himself is considered an educated person and has read many books. He also knows from the books that family affection among foreigners is relatively weak. Children may be kicked out when they turn 18. Similarly, when people get old, their children will not take care of them in their old age.

He felt that his son might have been affected by this while studying abroad, and coupled with the years of separation, the family ties had become weak, so he didn't want to have any contact with his parents.

"dad!"

Feng Qiang was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Because that's what it is.

He felt that many of the ideas and concepts in his hometown were very backward and feudal, the most representative of which were the old ideas centered on "filial piety" and "continuing the family line."

So he didn't want to go back, and gradually became indifferent to his parents. In essence, it was just as his father said, he didn't want his parents anymore.

To put it in utilitarian terms, he has become independent and his parents are old and have no value to him anymore. They will only bring him various burdens in the future. Therefore, severing family ties both conforms to his own reasons and caters to his own ideas.

But no one expected that things in the world would change so drastically.

In the blink of an eye, he found that he could no longer survive here. When he was alone and helpless, he thought of his parents again.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

Feng Qiang's father looked at Feng Qiang and saw that he looked very haggard. After thinking for a while, he asked.

"I, I~"

Feng Qiang didn't know what to say. His wife Pan Fen spoke first, "We are in a very difficult situation now. We can't even buy food. We can't even pay Britney's tuition."

Britney is Feng Qiang's daughter, but he did not give her a genuine Chinese name.

"How did that happen?"

"Don't you two have great jobs?"

When Feng Qiang's father heard this, he immediately became anxious.

It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Even if Feng Qiang was cruel to them, they as parents would become anxious when they heard that their children could not make ends meet.

“We’ve been unemployed for a long time.”

"Besides, the currency is depreciating drastically here, and prices are soaring. Britney's tuition has increased 25 times in an instant."

"Also, we don't dare to go out now, as we may be targeted and attacked and abused very easily."

Pan Fen said quickly: "Feng Qiang went out shopping today, but he didn't buy any food after walking for several hours. A lot of supermarkets and stores were closed, and we only have enough food for today."

"What should we do?" Feng Qiangfa's mother became anxious when she heard this.

"We don't know what to do. It's really difficult right now. We've been looking for a job for a long time but haven't found one."

"The unemployment rate here is very high now, the economy is very bad and chaotic, and we can often hear gunshots in our community."

Pan Fen spoke quickly, and the more she spoke, the more anxious the two old people became.

"We can't help you much." "Why don't you come back? At least you have food to eat, a place to live, and it's safe. You don't have to worry about anything. With your education, it won't be hard to find a job. I see many of our neighbors' children have good jobs."

"The son of Mr. Wang across from us now earns more than 200 million yuan a year. The daughter of Mr. Li upstairs opened her own virtual studio and I heard she can also make several million yuan a year. The son of Mr. Liu downstairs is now mining on the moon, working half a month and resting half a month."

Feng Qiang's father was silent for a while, thought for a while and said.

There are all kinds of things across half the world, and they can't help even if they want to, because they are not in China.

If it were in China, you could just take a flying drop and get over there. But it’s different abroad. Even if you have an anti-gravity aircraft, you can’t get through now. No one can help you even if you want to.

"go back?"

When Feng Qiang heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Think about the path I have walked over the past forty years. I worked so hard to get out and come to the lighthouse in my heart. But I haven’t gone back to see my parents for more than ten years. Should I go back now?

He felt he was too ashamed to see his parents, and more importantly, he had said many disparaging words about his hometown to many of his friends, students, etc., some of which were even very extreme and unpleasant to the ear.

He even said, "It's difficult to breathe in my hometown, with a suffocating feeling, but here breathing is so fresh and free."

Do you have the face to go back?

"Nowadays, all kinds of developments in the country are extremely rapid. With your education, it won't be difficult for you to find a good job."

"Many people around me have children who used to be abroad, but now many of them have returned. They all say that many aspects of foreign countries are not as good as those in China, especially in terms of public security. At least in China, we don't have to worry about this."

"Besides, the domestic development is quite good now, the income is not much worse than that abroad, and there are more opportunities."

"Now that anti-gravity aircraft are becoming more common, it's very convenient to go anywhere."

Feng Qiang's father said slowly, "I heard that there are already anti-gravity aircraft flights. The speed is very fast. It only takes an hour to fly back from where you are."

"I" Feng Qiang choked up for a moment, not knowing what to say. He couldn't say that he was afraid of being too embarrassed to see people after returning.

He used to brag about the outside world and belittle his hometown. Now that he can't make it abroad, he runs back. If he meets acquaintances, he will be laughed to death.

"Okay, let's come back!" Feng Qiang didn't say anything, but Pan Fen was the first to agree.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

"There's everything in the house. I'll go find out about the relevant matters and look at some of the relevant regulations."

When Feng Qiang's father heard this, he immediately became happy and felt full of strength.

"Ok!"

Feng Qiang looked at his father's happy expression and nodded with tears in his eyes.

After chatting with his parents for more than an hour, Feng Qiang hung up the phone and hurried out again.

I was preparing to go out and continue looking for a supermarket to buy food. At the same time, I was also going to inquire and consult about some related matters to see if I could get the relevant documents and go back.

After driving for more than an hour, I finally bought some food at a supermarket protected by mercenaries at a high price. It was already evening when I got home.

"Feng Qiang!"

"I just carefully checked a lot of information about my hometown, and watched a lot of related videos and discussions."

“It’s still nice to go back now.”

"I didn't expect my hometown to develop so rapidly. The air and environment are very good, life is very convenient, and the public security is very good."

As soon as she came back, her wife Pan Fen began to share the relevant information she found.

Now when I look back at my hometown, I suddenly realize that it is not bad at all.

“I didn’t expect my hometown to discover it so quickly.”

Feng Qiang and Pan Fen watched together and imagined their life after returning home.

However, reality soon gave him a heavy blow.

He can't go back.

There are two reasons. On the one hand, because he is a scientific researcher and high-end scientific and technological talent, he is restricted from leaving the country. Even though he is no longer a professor at a university and has not participated in any scientific research projects, he is still restricted from leaving.

Another reason is that he had already lost his nationality and no longer had the identity of his hometown, so even if he went back, he could only apply for a tourist visa or a family visit visa. He could not go back to find a job, and he had to renew the visa when it expired.

After figuring out the situation, Feng Qiang felt like he was struck by lightning.

"I can't go back, I can't go back!"

Feng Qiang was dumbfounded. He originally thought that his hometown was like his parents' arms and he could go back anytime he wanted.

But now, not only is he restricted from leaving, but it is not easy for him to go back. He needs to apply for a visa, and even if he goes back, he is a foreigner and will be subject to many restrictions in all aspects.

I can’t go back to my hometown, so I can only live in agony here far away.
