For wanderers who are wandering abroad, when they leave, their hometown is the nostalgia that they cannot give up and the eyes of their parents' expectations; after many years abroad, there is only winter and summer, and there is no spring and autumn.
And Wang Manni, like all wanderers, can only go home during the Spring Festival every year. Although her parents look forward to it day and night, work takes up most of her time.
So going home has become a luxury.
01
Wang Manni originally said that she was not going to go to Shanghai again, but it didn't take long for her to decide to return.
Before leaving, my father took out a card, the amount in which was 65,000, and my father said that it was the dowry money prepared for her. Seeing that her daughter has made up her mind, it can only be used as her support fund for Shanghai drifting again.
Although this money was deceived in the end, many people questioned how Wang Manni's parents were retired teachers, and how did they save so much money in eight years?
After the last conversation, many people have ambiguity about this number.
Maybe the salary of the retirees in the town is not high, maybe the old couple together is less than 10,000 yuan, and they use the money from this pension to eat, drink and Lazar on weekdays, so naturally they can't save much.
But for a small place, tens of thousands of dollars are already a large amount.
Take Wang Manni's grandfather who was sick and needed 50,000 yuan, and at that time, his uncle felt that 50,000 yuan was an astronomical amount. It can be seen that although consumption is low in small places, income is also low.
But Wang Manni's parents, whose pension is not high, are willing to buy hundreds of yuan a pound of fish for their family.
02
When Wang Manni first returned to her hometown, her parents surrounded her and cared, in order not to worry her parents, she pretended to be relaxed and said that she had promised them that she would return to her hometown if she was not married at the age of 30 and did not take root in Shanghai.
And she also coquettishly told her old father that she wanted to eat the spicy silver cod he made.
You must know that this kind of fish is more expensive than ordinary fish, real silver cod is at least 300 yuan a catty, and Wang Manni's hometown, a fourth-tier town, has low income and low consumption, judging from the fact that she and Zhang Zhi had a meal and spent 200 yuan, the price is indeed very low.
Looking at Wang Manni's house, the house is not very luxurious, and it should not be very valuable in this part of the town, but her parents are willing to eat 300 yuan of silver cod per meal.
During the time when Wang Manni went home, she lifted the silver cod twice in a row.
Either Wang Manni loves to eat, and her parents bought it especially for their daughter, after all, there is only one daughter, and it can be seen that the old couple still loves this baby girl very much.
Or maybe their family is in a small town, but they never treat themselves badly in terms of food.

The dowry money given to their daughter by Wang Manni's parents has aroused questions from many netizens, and they question that eight years is long enough, but the savings are too small.
This question is a good question, in addition to the above, the income of small places is not high, and perhaps another reason is the Xi of household consumption.
Wang Manni is wearing thousands of yuan of clothes and shoes in Shanghai, renting a house of 8,500 yuan, eating instant noodles for three yuan, looking poor and exquisite, is there a possibility that it is related to the consumption Xi of the family from childhood to adulthood.
There is a kind of family that has a lot of income, but after a few years it is not as good as other people's families, the main reason is timely hedonism, and the Xi of grasping small and enlarged.
I think that money is for spending, and I don't need to prepare for a big house or a good car in the future; I never save money on weekdays, but I can't get the money at important moments.
For example, every meal is delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it seems that I don't buy anything big every year, but I don't have a deposit.
Judging from the house where Wang Manni's parents live, if it were not for the fact that their daughter came back to buy silver cod, it was basically their family's consumption Xi, although the savings in eight years were only 65,000.
Wang Manni, who has not worried about food and clothing since childhood, is Xi to spending money lavishly and has no sense of financial management, so for so many years in Shanghai, although the monthly salary is tens of thousands, she is still reduced to a moonlight family.
In fact, if the monthly expenditure is higher than the consumption, in terms of consumption, sooner or later it will follow in the footsteps of Wang Manni.
