Chapter 33 Confessions
Happiness Community, Shen Qian's home.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little depressing.

Wang Xiaojuan was reclining on the sofa, her face was pale and haggard, with traces of tears.

Shen Liang was sitting in front of the window away from the living room, a half-shaved plastic bottle was filled with some water, which served as a temporary ashtray, and a few cigarette butts were stuffed inside.

"Tell me something, how will you live in the future?" Seeing that Shen Liang hadn't moved for a long time, Wang Xiaojuan grabbed the cushion on the sofa and threw it over.

... This cigarette seems to be a bit moldy, it's really hard to smoke!

Shen Liang came back to his senses, put out half of the cigarette in his hands with a heavy expression, but instead of throwing it into a plastic bottle, he wrapped it in paper and stuffed it back into the crumpled cigarette case.

"How can I live... Isn't this how I have been here for so many years?" Shen Liang comforted.

"A month's medical bills are close to [-]. Don't you need to eat, don't you need to pay water and electricity bills, don't you need to pay your son's pocket money, and he is growing up, so we can save as much as we can. But his food can't be bad..."

As Wang Xiaojuan spoke, she choked up again.

Shen Liang also fell silent for a while.

His monthly salary is less than 2000 yuan, which is the result of frequent overtime work. Due to physical reasons, Wang Xiaojuan can only do some light part-time jobs, and has an unstable income of about [-] yuan a month.

In the past, Wang Xiaojuan's monthly medical expenses could be offset by Shen Liang's salary. Fortunately, meat is cheap these days, and tuition and miscellaneous fees in public schools are very cheap, so the family can barely survive, and even saved a little money for Shen Qian to go to college. .

But now after an accident, Wang Xiaojuan's monthly medical expenses have soared, one ebbs and another, and it can be foreseen how difficult the days will be in the future.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have believed the small advertisements on the street and taken medicine indiscriminately, or...or I won't cure it. From now on, you take your son to live a good life..."

Wang Xiaojuan burst into tears as she spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Shen Liang scolded, walked to the sofa and hugged Wang Xiaojuan gently, "There is no unparalleled road, what kind of problem is a problem that can be solved with money, the most important thing is to live well .”

"At worst, let's sell the house and rent a house in the next street. I saw it the other day, and it only costs more than 1000 yuan a month. The big three-bedroom house is more spacious than the house we live in now!"

Seeing that Wang Xiaojuan was still complaining about herself, Shen Liang struggled for a while, finally gritted his teeth, took out an envelope from his inner pocket and stuffed it into Wang Xiaojuan's hand.

"Take it, I'll figure out a way after these two months."

"This is……"

Wang Xiaojuan was startled, opened the envelope and took a look, then asked in surprise, "Where did you get the 1 yuan?"

"The semi-annual award in our factory was only issued yesterday. I was thinking of giving you a little surprise, but I just forgot."

Shen Liang said lightly, feeling very ashamed in his heart.

I actually withheld [-] of the money my son borrowed with great difficulty... I am really ashamed of being a father and a husband!
The "windfall" dilutes Wang Xiaojuan's sadness, coupled with Shen Liang's reassurance, Wang Xiaojuan's mood finally stabilized.

She looked up at the clock hanging in the living room, and stood up in a panic, "Ah, my son should be back soon, I have to cook quickly."

At this time, there was the sound of a key turning at the door, and as the door was pushed open, Shen Qian walked in with two bags of fruit.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back...Mom, are you okay?"

As Shen Qian said, he had already walked into the living room and put the fruit on the table.

Just as Wang Xiaojuan was about to speak, she paused her gaze and said in surprise, "You bought durian? This... What kind of grape is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

In the open food bag, the sky-blue grapes are not only round and plump, but each one is as big as an ordinary lychee, and there are still water drops on it, which are crystal clear and look very attractive.

"Oh, this one is called 'Desert Rose'. The sister in the fruit shop said it is a foreign variety. Her family's treasure is limited to a limited number." Shen Qian explained.

"Durians cost more than 200 catties, where did you get the money?" Wang Xiaojuan's face changed when she heard the unusual, and asked, "How much is this rose?"

"Durians are okay, there is a discount, 190 a catty, this 'Desert Rose' is quite expensive, just such a bag cost less than [-]." Shen Qian told the truth.

Wang Xiaojuan was speechless for a long time.

Shen Liang was also surprised. Durian is the king of daily fruits. Needless to say, it is expensive in this era when fruits and vegetables are luxury goods, but this "desert rose" is too exaggerated. There are only two bunches in this bag. Each bunch only looks like thirty or forty grapes, so it costs 1000 yuan?

Looking at the startled parents, Shen Qian couldn't help complaining secretly. Fortunately, he didn't tell the truth, otherwise, wouldn't you all be scared to faint?
The real price of the desert rose is more than one thousand, but close to three thousand...

Shen Qian didn't want to be so extravagant at first, but when he heard that the desert rose had the effect of beautifying and refreshing and dredging qi and blood, he immediately bought it.

Wang Xiaojuan has just been discharged from the hospital, her body is weak, and she just needs to make up for it.

"Xiaoqian..."

It was Shen Liang who came back to his senses first, looking at Wang Xiaojuan who was also raising her brows, Shen Qian hurriedly spoke first.

"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you."

Wang Xiaojuan wanted to say something, but was held back by Shen Liang. He knew Shen Qian's character, and what he was going to say next had something to do with these fruits.

Shen Qian took out a badge from his pocket and pushed it in front of his parents.

Shen Liang picked up the badge and couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw the word "Wu".

Although he is not a warrior himself, all people in this society are warriors, and there are social warriors in their factory. He is no stranger to such badges.

"I'm already a beginner."

Shen Qian's voice was not loud, but it made Shen Liang and Wang Xiaojuan's minds go blank, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

"I don't know if you are clear. The Ministry of Martial Arts has rigid welfare indicators for young martial artists. Dissatisfied beginners can receive a monthly cash subsidy of 1 yuan. Oh, I heard from the staff of the Martial Arts Bureau today, There are actually some benefits."

"For example, I will take buses and trams for free in the future, use public toilets for free, and most park attractions will also be free. Also, if I buy a car of a designated brand, there will be a discount, and buying a house will also..."

Shen Qian said everything he learned today.

During this process, Shen Liang and Wang Xiaojuan stared at him blankly, neither speaking nor making any movements.

Shen Qian's voice gradually became quieter, and he looked at his parents with some worry...wouldn't he be really scared?
"Dad? Mom?" Shen Qian said tentatively.

The consciousness of Shen Liang and Wang Xiaojuan seemed to have finally returned to reality. They looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

"I'm going to get the thermometer..."

"Well, there should be some medicine for fever at home, I'll look for it."

Shen Qian: "..."
