I'm almost 45 and the system is just coming

Chapter 8 Parents' Home

If he had dared to say that when he was a child, he would have been beaten by his parents. But children nowadays are spoiled beyond measure. Even if he wanted to control them, he couldn't get past his wife and parents.

"Okay, I'm back, let's go!"

Just then, his wife's voice sounded from outside. Zhou Tian didn't even look at his son. He picked up his notebook and went downstairs.

When he arrived at the main gate of the community, he saw his car parked outside the gate. Zhou Tian walked over, opened the car door and put the backpack containing the laptop in. He sat in the passenger seat and took out his mobile phone to look at it.

Although I don’t know when my wife and the others will come down, it always takes more than half an hour each time.

Sure enough, half an hour later, I saw my wife and son coming out of the community gate and walking towards the car. They opened the door, and my son sat in the back seat. My wife got in the car and started the engine while saying, "When are you going to learn to drive again? After all, you can't waste your money, right?"

Speaking of learning to drive, Zhou Tian's face turned grim. He remembered that when his wife enrolled in a driving school, she also enrolled him, but he didn't go to learn for two years.

Until last year, seeing that time was running out, he had no choice but to go to a driving school to learn. But for some reason, in a whole year, he failed the second part of the test five times. He even felt as if he had some taboo with learning to drive. Obviously, he would not make any mistakes when practicing, but for some reason, when the day of the test came, he made mistakes here and there.

Not to mention starting on a slope, sometimes the car even crossed the line, which made him want to give up the test. However, in order to avoid nagging from his parents and wife, he had to spend another 1,500 yuan to change the manual transmission to electric transmission and continue to register.

Now that his wife brought it up, he felt like it was something irrelevant.

"I know, let's wait for a while!"

Zhou Tian said helplessly. After all, for some reason, he always felt that he was incompatible with cars and could not learn. His wife and two sisters had signed up with him, but they all got their licenses within three months. However, he had to learn for nearly a year, and he kept taking make-up exams and failing! It was so painful that he wanted to die.

Now, whenever he thinks about learning to drive, he gets a headache.

After hearing Zhou Tian’s words, his wife stopped talking and concentrated on driving towards Wenying Lake in Yungang District.

Wenying Lake in Yungang District was a shantytown built by the coal mine to accommodate its employees. It was very popular at the time. After all, people preferred to live in buildings compared to the bungalows on the mine.

Even though there is no so-called elevator, Zhou Tian's parents live in Wenying Lake. There are actually not many miners assigned to the entire Wenying Lake, only more than a thousand households, divided into eight districts.

Among them, Zhou Tian’s parents live in District 7.

When the car arrived at District 10, it was already o'clock in the morning.

Bringing the gifts and opening the door of the building, I saw cracks on the roof of the corridor, which shows the quality of the original construction.

I knocked on the door and entered the house. My parents were busy cooking.

"You guys are here? Come and sit down!"

The mother smiled and welcomed the three of them into the house. She looked at her son with a hint of joy and asked, "Haonan, how is your study going? Can you keep up?"

"Yes, grandma, I missed you!"

The son seemed like a different person. He walked up to his mother, hugged her and said flattering words, which made Zhou Tian and his wife roll their eyes at the same time.

"Mom, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"

Zhou Tian put on his slippers, walked in, put the gift at the door and asked, "Stewed pork ribs. I know you guys are coming today, and Haonan likes to eat my stewed pork ribs. I went to the market with your dad early in the morning and bought three pounds of pork ribs!"

The mother said with a smile, looking at her son with eyes full of doting.

"Oh!"

Zhou Tian responded helplessly, turned around and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He had long been accustomed to his mother's favoritism towards her son.

He put down the bag containing the laptop, took out the laptop, went into his original room, plugged it in and connected to the wireless network.

He took a look at the performance of his book and stopped looking at it. Now, as nearly two months have passed, he has updated nearly ten thousand times a day, which has made the clicks on the book higher and higher. However, he plans to finish the book in another month. After all, he has already finished writing the general plot. If it weren't for the temptation of the lottery, he might have watered down the plot.

But as it concerns the lottery later, he naturally would not lose the big picture for the small, so he carefully arranged every chapter and every plot, which made this month's royalties exceed last month's 6500 yuan and reach 8000 yuan.

It can be said that this is a result he has never achieved before, although he also knows that this result is not actually high, of course this is compared with those little gods, but for him, this is already an unprecedented result.

At this moment, outside his wife was cooking and chatting with her parents. Bursts of laughter could be heard from the kitchen from time to time, which made Zhou Tian feel very relieved.

Looking at the still familiar room in front of him, his heart was filled with memories. He clearly remembered that when he and his wife got married, they had no money to buy a house, so they had been living with their parents.

Although the relationship between my wife and her parents is not very harmonious, there are not many conflicts, and they rarely even quarrel.

However, he could not avoid complaining. To be honest, he had no way to deal with this eternal problem. It was not until the family's conditions gradually improved that they bought a house in Yudong and moved out.

Perhaps distance creates beauty. After separation, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become much better.

Shaking his head, Zhou Tian put aside the thoughts in his mind, and began to sit down and type. For a moment, his mind was completely focused on the plot of the novel.

Lines of words appeared in the document, writing down the thoughts in his mind.

"time to eat!"

Just as he was typing smoothly, his wife's voice woke him up from the plot.

"Okay, here we come!"

After answering, Zhou Tian stood up and walked to the dining table. Smelling the scent of home, he couldn't help but feel extremely at peace.

"Dad! Mom! How are your health lately?"

After all, my parents are old and their health is not very good. In addition to my father suffering from coronary heart disease and hypertension, my father injured an eye underground a few years ago and got a prosthetic eye after the operation. His vision has deteriorated significantly. Although he can still move very well, he still has sequelae and needs eye drops from time to time to maintain his eyes.

My mother also loved playing mahjong in her early years, which led to a herniated disc and high blood pressure. Her health is not very good and her legs are always painful.

If it was two months ago, he might not have dared to ask, but now, he was confident and naturally wanted to know about the health conditions of the two elders!

It’s a bit long-winded and a bit watery, but these are some of the author’s feelings. To be honest, the health of the elderly needs to be taken care of at all times as they age. The author himself is a failed author, so he can only find some sense of existence in the novel! I hope everyone treats their parents well, because when parents are gone, we have nowhere to go!
