The door was opened, and it was my mother, who looked embarrassed. She spoke with a hint of reproach, "Why are you suddenly home? You didn't even make a phone call in advance."
I showed her the transfer interface and said, "The company has transferred several thousand dollars to me this month. I wanted to transfer more money to you guys, but you blocked me. I called Dad, but he hung up on me. If you don't believe me, ask him."
I looked up at my dad, who hesitated and tried to explain.
My mom's eyes lit up when she heard that I wanted to transfer money to her.
She took the suitcase from my hand and dragged me into the house, muttering to herself.
"I am presbyopic and I accidentally unfriended you. It's snowing heavily outside. Are you freezing? Have a few bites of hot food, and after you finish eating, I'll ask your dad to run a hot bath for you."
I remained silent for a long time.
My parents were farmers and had never used their eyes much in their whole life.
This year I bought them reading glasses. The doctor said they had very good eyesight and could read small print in books even clearer than me.
Dad also smiled happily and said, "Hazel is so capable and will definitely make a lot of money. We've got an amazing future ahead of us!"
Mom put down her flatware, found several old mattresses from the wardrobe, and laid them on the floor in the living room.
She still had that look on her face and explained, "Hazel, you know that Reid is taking the SAT this year, so your dad and I have decided to turn your bedroom into his study. Tonight, you'll sleep on the floor for one night, and anyway, you will start working on Monday."
I looked around this two-story brightly lit house with stylish decorations.
If I remembered correctly, I had saved 33,000 dollars in my first year of work and used it all to build this new house.
In my second year of work, I took out a loan to buy a large flat in the city.
When Reid first came to my flat, his desire was undisguised in his eyes.
He was very straightforward and turned to ask our parents, "Hazel will get married sooner or later. Logically speaking, the house should be bought by her husband. Is it too much to ask that I'll keep this flat after getting married?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mom and Dad nod in agreement.
"Hazel, eat less meat, otherwise you won't be able to find a husband. Unlike me, I need to eat more!"
