Chapter 841 573: Going Home
The man's name is Zhao Shuang. In his early years, while working on a construction site, an accident caused both of his legs to be amputated, and since then, he could only sit in a wheelchair.
To witness this life miracle farewell magic feast, he specifically got his family to bring him here. Knowing that wheelchairs weren't allowed inside, he leaned on crutches and, with the help of his family, entered the venue because he is Xia Liang's magic fan!
At this moment, seeing his idol, the excitement in his heart was truly beyond words!
"God Xia, I am really so fortunate and so excited. I never thought in this lifetime, I would have the chance to be here."
Zhao Shuang said excitedly.
"Haha, that's why this is the appearance of a miracle!"
Xia Liang stepped forward, shook hands with Zhao Shuang, and smiled.
"Will my legs really be able to return to normal conditions?"
Zhao asked with great anticipation.
"Of course, I am the creator of miracles. If I can't make you walk like a normal person, then this magic show would be a failure."
After saying this, Xia Liang took a red cloth and covered Zhao Shuang's legs.
At this moment, everyone in the venue understood that Xia Liang was going to perform magic, and each of them widened their eyes to carefully watch Xia Liang's hands.
They saw Xia Liang place his hands on Zhao Shuang's crippled legs and lightly shook them.
Then, Zhao Shuang felt a very special sensation in his legs, like thousands of ants crawling on them.
However, he held himself still.
A moment later, Xia Liang lifted the red cloth, and Zhao Shuang's legs had grown out.
Next, Xia Liang continuously performed various magic tricks and turned ten people into normal individuals.
Amidst everyone's cheers, the staff announced that the magic feast had officially ended, and Xia Liang's whereabouts also disappeared.
At midnight, as time stepped into the next day, the system's notification sounded in Xia Liang's ear.
[Ding—Congratulations to the worker, monthly work settlement.
Days worked this month: 90 days.
The system begins to distribute rewards: basic salary 320,000.
This month's salary of 50,000 Yuan has been deposited into the system bank and can be withdrawn at any time, with a bonus of 10,000.
Work Points: 800 has been issued.
The RMB balance for the host is: 1,007,664.98 Yuan.
Work Points balance: 3,680]
The system generously gave a two-month rest period this time.
Seeing the work points return to the 3000 mark, Xia Liang nodded with satisfaction.
Deducting 2000 points, four bottles of Gene Potion appeared in his hand.
With the New Year approaching, Xia Liang was also preparing to return home, intending to bring the Gene Potion to his parents, leaving one bottle for Luu Qi's father, and one for Tong Dongnuan.
On January 27, with only two days left until the New Year, Luu Qi, being from her mother's side, naturally did not return with Xia Liang for the New Year.
Only Xia Liang and Shi Qiang returned, and it wasn't until the afternoon that they set off. Xia Liang had a private plane; otherwise, someone else might not have made it back.
This time, nothing went wrong, and the plane landed smoothly. He returned home by evening.
The parents who had been eagerly awaiting their return saw Xia Liang come back alone, and the smiles on their faces froze.
Ultimately, Xia Liang assured them that Qingxue would come after the New Year, and only then did the two return to normal.
After a simple meal, Xia Liang went to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Xia Liang was awakened by knocking on the door. He stepped outside, feeling somewhat puzzled, and saw his parents packing things.
Xia Liang looked perplexed.
"Mom, where are you going?"
"Back home for the New Year."
Luu Juan replied without lifting her head.
"Quickly pack your clothes, we'll be leaving soon."
Seeing his mother hurriedly packing, Xia Liang, although puzzled, still took out his suitcase.
Half an hour later, the three of them set out for their hometown.
Xia Liang's hometown is relatively remote, in a place called Xia Family's Village, on the outskirts of Shen City.
Driving there takes about 5 hours.
On the way, Xia Liang finally couldn't resist his curiosity.
"Mom, since grandpa and grandma passed away, we've never gone back home. Why are we going back for the New Year this year?"
Upon hearing Xia Liang's question, before Luu Juan could speak, Xia Dad replied.
"Your uncle said it's been years since we all gathered, so this year we are all going back to reconnect."
"Oh."
Xia Liang didn't react much, but Luu Juan showed a face of disdain.
"Reconnect? I think he just wants to show off. We haven't gone home for the New Year, and he couldn't stand it."
...
After Luu Juan finished speaking, the car became silent. Xia Liang and Xia Weiguo didn't argue. Thinking carefully, it was always like this when Xia Liang's grandfather was alive, every year.
At six in the afternoon, the car drove slowly into Xia Family's Village. As Xia Liang stepped out to pick up his luggage, a voice came.
"Oh? Isn't that Xia Weiguo's boy? I remember your name is Xia Liang, right? It's been a long time! Xia Liang, how much is your monthly salary now? How much did you save this year? Do you have a girlfriend? Why didn't you bring her back? Have you bought a house? A car? How much was your year-end bonus? You're so grown, yet not in a hurry, be careful you'll be single forever!"
Goodness!
Just as he moved his luggage, Xia Liang realized his aunt Zhang Yi was bombarding him with questions. His head buzzed for a moment.
Wanting to say something, he eventually sighed.
"Auntie, you talk to my mom, I'll move things inside first."
Carrying his luggage inside, Xia Liang shut the door, leaving Aunt Zhang Yi's seemingly caring but actually sarcastic and incessant grumbling outside.
"Alas, today's young people really don't put one at ease! Xia Liang, it seems, can't be relied upon by the Xia Family. This boy should have bought a house and found a partner long ago! My nephew of the same age has been married for years! Although my other nephew didn't attend university, he already has kids!"
Zhang Yi sighed repeatedly, resenting Xia Liang for not living up to expectations. It seemed as though Xia Liang was a disgrace to the Xia family.
According to her, Xia Liang should graduate at 22, enter a Fortune 500 company for a year's salary, buy a 200-square-meter house at 24, find a beautiful girlfriend at 25, get married in Europe at 26, have children at 27, preferably twins, become vice president at 28, buy a villa and sports car at 29, and by 30~~
If any part of this process isn't completed, he would be looked down upon.
However, Luu Juan, who got out of the car slowly, was amused. Before, she might not have said anything, but now her son could certainly be considered outstanding. She didn't care about such ridicule, even feeling a bit proud.
That's how people are; the less they have, the more concerned they are with what others say.
Hearing Zhang Yi sarcastically talk about Xia Liang not having a car, house, savings, or girlfriend.
Luu Juan would think about the villa their family owned, the car and fish pond Xia Liang bought for Xia Weiguo, the shopfront she received, and that savings account with over 700,000 Yuan.
Whenever thinking of her son's savings, Luu Juan still felt a sense of disbelief.
