Chapter 478 Old Man and Son [Part 2]
Several years have passed, and my son's job in Sanmen City has stabilized, and his salary has passed as the probation period has passed. After he became a full-time employee, he received much more every month.
The son and his girlfriend live a very happy life. The two have been in love for so many years, and the girlfriend has witnessed the boy's hard work and strength over the years.
Finally, the girlfriend decided to marry the boy. However, because the girlfriend's family is very rich and the boy's family is from rural areas, they haven't saved much money in the past few years. So under various hints from his girlfriend, "I am willing to marry you," the boy
But he remained unmoved and never mentioned the proposal.
The girlfriend didn’t know what the boy was thinking, she just thought the boy was too shy. So after a pause, the girlfriend bought an engagement ring, made the woman lose face, and told the boy that she hoped he could marry her.
Seeing that his girlfriend had gone so far, the boy didn't dare not respond anymore. He immediately took the small amount of money he had saved, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and ran to the big shopping mall in the city center and bought his girlfriend a
A two-carat diamond wedding ring.
Diamond rings are what all girls dream of. The moment my girlfriend received the ring, she even cried with excitement.
When his son led his girlfriend back to the village, the old man was happy because his son came back to see him again.
But when his son told the old man the news that he was going to marry his girlfriend at dinner, the old man just smiled faintly and was not as happy as his son imagined.
The son thought that his father did not agree with the marriage, so he took advantage of the night while his girlfriend slept. He and the old man sat on the threshold of the gate of his yard, and the two had a heart-to-heart talk.
When the son asked the old man why he looked unhappy, the old man only said: I was too tired from going to the field today and was too tired, so he looked unhappy, and told his son not to mind.
When the son heard what his father said, he believed it.
In fact, the old man still agrees with this marriage. After all, his daughter-in-law is a really beautiful girl, and she is also very filial to him. Every time he comes, he will let the old man rest and cook by himself.
However, getting married requires money. The old man knows that the girl's family is very rich, and he is afraid that he will not be able to pay the bride price that the girl's family asks for.
Although I have saved a fortune over the years, it is only a huge amount of money in the eyes of farmers. In the eyes of city people, it is only what can be earned in a year or two.
But although he was thinking so in his heart, it was difficult for the old man to say it openly. His son took his reaction as agreeing to the marriage.
So after his son returned to Sanmen City, he asked his girlfriend to contact the woman's parents and have a "parents meeting" with his father.
The day before the meeting, the old man came to the city from the village. His son and his girlfriend took the old man to the mall and bought the most expensive set of clothes in his life.
Although this type of clothing is only a relatively popular type in the city.
The next day, the old man and the girl's parents met. During the meeting, both parties had a pleasant conversation. The girl's parents were already rich, so they only needed to treat their daughter well.
After so many years, the boy and his daughter have been dating, and the girl's parents have noticed it, and they think the boy is good.
So I quite approve of this marriage. Although the old man is depressed in his heart, he can only show that he is very happy on his face.
After the conversation, the parents of both parties decided on the wedding date. They chose a time all afternoon before deciding on an auspicious day.
After returning to the village, the old man began to prepare funds for the wedding. In addition to the money he could get from his family, he also borrowed a lot from relatives.
The girl's parents didn't ask for the bride price, and the old man reluctantly came up with it. According to the village custom, even if the girl didn't ask for it, the old man still bought the girl the "three golds" she should have.
The wedding was held in a big hotel in Sanmen City, and the old man borne all the wedding expenses. The woman also knew about the situation of her son-in-law's family, so she established a relationship and asked the owner of the hotel where the wedding was held to pay the wedding rental fee and the wedding banquet money.
, got a discount.
Moreover, the woman paid half of the cost in advance and did not let the old man know. Until his death, the old man believed that holding a wedding banquet in the city was similar to that in the village and not as expensive as he thought.
After getting married, the son and daughter-in-law lived a good life. The son saved money over the years and just paid the down payment for a house and bought a house in the city center.
The woman's in-laws directly gave the young couple a BMW sports car.
Time passed slowly, the old man got older, and the couple also gave birth to two children of their own, a son and a daughter, and they were very happy.
The woman's family owned a large company in Sanmen City, and their daughter was the only heir. The boy wanted to help his wife manage the company, so he switched jobs from his original company to his wife's company.
But with the sudden onset of economic expansion and financial crisis, the couple's company faced bankruptcy.
The old man worked as a farmer in the village all his life, and finally saved a lot of money through frugality. After paying off the debt, after learning about the company's crisis, the old man found his son with his bankbook.
I gave all my savings over the years to my son, hoping to be of some help.
Although the money in the father's hands could not bring any improvement to the company, it was the old man's wish, and the son had no choice but to accept it.
There has been a saying since ancient times, if God does not fulfill one's wishes, it will be a coincidence.
The year after the old man finished giving money to his son, at the age of 68, he was diagnosed with a serious illness in the hospital.
"It is recommended that you contact your family and be hospitalized for treatment. Your situation is already very serious. If you delay it any longer, you will not be able to recover even if you are admitted to the hospital."
Well, that's what the doctor said.
The old man had not lived a good life with his son, so he did not want to leave so early, so he asked about the cost of treatment.
When a string of astronomical figures came out of the doctor's mouth, the old man became timid. He was unwilling to give up the treatment. The company of his son and his wife was now in a state that was difficult to reverse.
Therefore, he did not want to add any more burden to his already burdened son and daughter-in-law.
So after the old man returned home, he began to act crazy and act stupid. Seeing him like this, the people in the village quickly called his son and daughter-in-law. When the son heard this, he was also panicked.
He quickly came over and took the old man to the city. Because of the work at hand, his son never had time to take the old man to check it carefully.
The son, who was carried away by the tedious work of the company, thought that the old man had Alzheimer's disease, which all old people suffer from.
