Fu Gui graduated from college and worked in a large state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital. Due to his poor family background, he was introverted and unsociable. He had not found a partner after the age of 30, but this did not affect his arrogance and confidence. He secretly named his future child: Excellent.
At the age of 34, Fu Gui married Feng Juan, a 31-year-old female worker at his workplace. A year later, Feng Juan gave birth to a fat boy named Youyou.
When Excellent was in kindergarten, he showed outstanding talents that were different from ordinary children. When the teacher taught him the three letters of ABC, he recited all 26 letters including ABCDEF at once. Of course, this has something to do with the hard work his parents gave him.
Excellent, he has lived up to his parents. From the first grade to the sixth grade of elementary school, he has always been the first in the class, and he has not fallen behind in chess, music, calligraphy and painting. While their colleagues were all saving money for loans and keen on purchasing commercial housing to improve their living conditions and quality of life, Fu Gui and Feng Juan were frugal and focused on their son Jackie Chan, enrolling him in N extracurricular tutoring classes and talent and interest classes.
In the autumn when Fu Gui turned 53, he finally felt proud. After a long period of hard work, despite his eccentric and unsociable temper, he has always been a chief staff member, and his personal future cannot be compared with his classmates who have already reached section chief, division chief, and department director. However, because of his meticulous work, long-term professional and technical work, and many award-winning papers, he was exceptionally awarded the deputy senior technical title. Fu Gui was more than happy. After the college entrance examination notice came out, his son was admitted to Tsinghua University. From this day on, Fu Gui, who was blessed with double happiness, straightened up his waist. The leaders of his unit began to nod politely when they saw him. His old classmates who became officials even actively invited him to participate in the class reunion.
After Excellent went to Beijing to study at university, his female classmate Yiping, who he grew up with and was admitted to a local 211 university, often came to visit Fu Gui and Feng Juan on weekends. Yiping has a handsome appearance, a pleasant speaking voice, and a good family background. Her father is the director of an important department of the provincial government, and her mother is a hospital doctor. Fu Gui had actually known for a long time that Jingliang had such a childhood sweetheart female classmate. Fortunately, both of them studied diligently and never broke through the layer of paper. In addition, Fu Gui and his wife kept a close eye on their studies, so their excellent studies were not affected. But things are different now. The excellent ones are in , Tsinghua , and Pengcheng Wanli is a sure thing. Fu Gui can no longer turn a blind eye. During the first semester holiday, the night when Youliang returned home, Fu Gui made it clear that he was too good and that Yiping was no longer worthy of him. The two of them could only be ordinary friends. Excellent mood is more exciting, it can be seen that he really likes Yiping. But since childhood, under the influence of his parents' strict control and love, he has long since lost his own opinions and choices. Her mother, Feng Juan, said in a tone of superiority: "Excellent, what do you think? You are a student of Tsinghua University, not Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Why do you always want to go back to this shabby place and live in an old bungalow? With your brand, what kind of girl can't be found?"
The next day, Yiping came to visit Jingliang with a bag of fruits. She put on an apron as soon as she entered the house, helped Feng Juan with cleaning, and went in and out of the kitchen to pick vegetables and cook. Everything was so natural and skillful, as if she had already been a member of the family. Fu Gui and his wife actually smiled and accepted it calmly. After Yiping left, Feng Juan said to her surprised son: "Excellent, one code equals the other. This girl Yiping is really good. Your dad and I don't treat her as an outsider, but you and her are absolutely not allowed to date!"
"I want to graduate, come back and find a job, and stay with your two elders...Yiping, I know her, and you have also seen that she is a good girl..." Youyi burst into tears.
"We don't want your company. You are a top student at Tsinghua University, how can you be so promising!" Fu Gui and Feng Juan criticized their son in unison.
...
Throughout the holiday, Excellent was depressed. But a top student is a top student. When he returned to Tsinghua University, he quickly adjusted his emotions and put aside his love for his children for the time being and devoted himself to his studies.
After graduating from undergraduate degree, Xiangli was admitted to Tsinghua University as a graduate student without any suspense.
Fu Gui was 60 years old and was about to complete the retirement procedures. He took his wife Feng Juan, who had shared the joys and sorrows with him for more than 20 years and was in declining health, to Beijing to reunite with his son Jingwei, who was about to sign a contract with a Fortune 500 company. "Yes, Doctor. There are so many graduate students now, and they are worthless. If you want to have a good future, you must study for a Ph.D."
"Okay, study for a Ph.D., study for a Ph.D., your mother and I will firmly support you!" Fu Gui said firmly. But after putting down the phone and looking at Feng Juan, who was thin and gray-haired, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What are you sighing for? It's a good thing to get a Ph.D., why are we working so hard? Isn't it because he has a good future? My body is a little weak, and Yiping often comes to help us!" Feng Juan is much more confident than Fu Gui.
"Yiping is not young anymore. It's not a problem to keep running to our old bungalow."
"Why is it not a problem? How many times have I told her that after she excels, she will never return to our backward area. Sooner or later, we will go to Beijing for retirement. She understands. Besides, she always comes to us voluntarily, and we don't force her to come!"
"That's true."
Fu Gui and Feng Juan persisted for several more years. But what they didn't expect was that their son's outstanding achievements had been fully realized under their hard work. He had not come home for several vacations because of his busy studies, and this time he got a particularly outstanding result for his parents. On the phone, he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "I am going to study abroad for a postdoctoral degree. My supervisor recommended me. I have income and can take care of myself..."
"Son, you are great. You must read!" In Fu Gui's impression, in recent years, many of his colleagues and leaders' children have gone abroad to study, some in primary school, some in middle school, some in high school, some in university, and some in graduate school, but basically all at their own expense. He also imagined that his son would one day go abroad to change his life, but when he heard that the annual cost was hundreds of thousands, he immediately stopped imagining this. I never expected that my son would not only realize his dream, but also become a postdoctoral fellow without having to pay his own expenses. This is simply outstanding.
Feng Juan said happily: "That's great. They say that overseas air quality is good, the environment is good, and the quality of life is high. If you are outstanding, it is best to stay. Don't come back. I don't like this place!"
After Yingyou went abroad, he never returned to the country due to his busy work, and his calls to his parents became less and less. As a result, his mother Feng Juan's hospitalization for terminal cancer, her death, cremation and burial, etc. were all handled by Yiping and Fugui. Even his mother Feng Juan's two video requests before her death were suppressed by him citing her busy work schedule. Yiping was so angry that she cursed him on the phone afterwards. Unexpectedly, Youyou got angry and blocked her permanently. Fu Gui called Youyou after that, and most of the time the phone was beeping. Occasionally he got through, but most of the time he didn't answer. Of course, Fu Gui still got some information about Excellent. He opened a technology company in partnership with his classmates abroad. It is said that the prospects are promising, but in the early stage of starting a business, he needs to concentrate his wisdom, energy and financial resources...
"Excellent, my son, you are right! Your mother is terminally ill, so what will the video do? What will happen if she comes back? I believe that her spirit in heaven will understand and support you like me." Taking pride in his son's excellence has become everything to Fu Gui.
Fu Gui, who is nearly seventy years old, has never had many hobbies. After his wife Feng Juan died of illness, he stayed alone in his old bungalow and did not interact with outsiders. It was only when he caught a bad cold that Fu Gui remembered that Yiping hadn't been here for a while. Because he was afraid that he would die and stink at home, he dialed Yiping's phone number with trembling hands. On the other end of the phone, Yiping said: "Uncle Fu, my parents lived in Beijing after retirement, and I have also moved to Beijing. There will be few opportunities to go back in the future, so you should take care of yourself... I have already called 120 for you!"
"Hey, this girl shows her true colors if she can't stay with my son!" Fu Gui had already expected that such a day would happen to Yiping.
Fu Gui, who was lonely, received a notice from the street that due to urban reconstruction, several giant buildings would rise from the ground where his old bungalow was located and become the center of the provincial capital city. Jing Jing, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, also learned the news from the Internet. He was busy and contacted his father Fu Gui, who had not been in contact for a long time. Under the control of an excellent and highly intelligent remote control, he has always been restrained in his duties, paying high prices for soft and hard work, not cheating, asking for high prices, and refusing to accept the developer's compensation plan. After several rounds, the developer, who couldn't afford to wait, finally agreed to compensate you with a 120-square-meter elevator room and 5 million in cash.
With the frequent interactions between father and son, Fu Gui learned that his son's excellent technology company was currently in a stage of going against the current or retreating due to the loss of funds. When he learned that the outstanding fund gap amounted to more than 8 million yuan, Fu Gui did not hesitate to sell the house that the developer had compensated him. Together with the demolition compensation, he collected 8.2 million yuan and gave it to his son in one lump sum...
At night, Fu Gui took out the photo of his wife Feng Juan, wiped it again and put it on the bedside table of the senior apartment. He burst into tears and cried with joy: "Juan, listen, our son Fu Youyou is very promising. His technology company is about to produce the first batch of smart toilet seats, international, foreign brands... On behalf of the two of us, I injected 820 into him." 100,000 yuan, compensation for the demolition and resettlement of the old bungalow, and the 200,000 yuan we have picked out from our teeth over the years were all given to him... Be happy, old lady, this life is worth it..."
