Chapter 13 Home
Ali watched them leave angrily, and then turned around. "Brother, have you really become the Su family's son-in-law?" He looked at me questioningly. "Yes." I answered affirmatively. "Brother, are you really the son-in-law of the Su family?"
"Forgot." Ali asked loudly to me, emotionally. "That's enough." I was angry and interrupted him directly. Ah Die outside the house heard the movement and ran in quickly.
"Brother Han, Ali, you guys?" she wondered. "I'm sorry, brother, I'm too excited, but..." Ali apologized but didn't give up. "Ali." I yelled and looked at him.
, I guess I was the only person in the entire train station who dared to yell at him like that. "I haven't forgotten." I said decisively, my eyes full of determination.
"Yeah." Ali replied with tears in his eyes, and then he came over and hugged me. I smiled and pushed him away: "I should go." Then I left without looking back.
Ali stood at the door, holding Ah Die in his arms, and Ah Die nestled on Ali's shoulder. The two of them watched me leave quietly. A young man had already packed my luggage for me, called a taxi, and I got in the car.
, then the driver stepped on the accelerator and left.
The train station was still overcrowded and overcrowded. This time I bought the high-speed rail ticket smoothly, passed the security check, and sat in my seat.
I turned to look out the window, and a strange emotion filled my heart. I wanted to light a cigarette, but when I saw the words "No Smoking", I had to give up the idea. Unfortunately, memories flooded into my heart like a tide, and it was difficult to accept it for a while...
"Hello! Could you please give me some room?" A woman's voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked up at a woman of about thirty years old who looked at me with a smile. Her left hand held a
The suitcase, with his right hand tightly holding the hand of a little girl, must be his daughter.
I smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry." I immediately stood up and asked mother and daughter to sit down. As compensation, I helped them put their suitcases. Then I did the same.
"Dear passengers, please note that this high-speed train runs from Anping City to Changliu County, passing..." The route of this high-speed train was announced on the high-speed train, and I was in a state of confusion: I'm going home.
The high-speed train car in summer is extremely stuffy, which makes people feel impetuous. Suddenly a bottle of mineral water appeared in front of my eyes. I was stunned when I heard a little girl's voice: "Uncle, drink water."
The girl looked at me with a smile and her voice was innocent.
I looked at the mother of the child, and she said with a smile: "Little brother, drink water, it's such a hot day." I smiled as a thank you, took the water, took a sip, and instantly felt that it was not so hot anymore.
The little girl was bold, and kept talking to me. Gradually, we became familiar with each other. It turned out that mother and daughter were originally from Changliu County, and they married in Anping City. Today they went back to their hometown to visit relatives.
There were little girls laughing and joking along the way, which made me feel less bored. It turns out that I also like children.
"Dear passengers, please note that we have arrived at the terminal of this high-speed train. Please bring your belongings with you..." I stood up and helped the mother and daughter get their luggage. The child's mother quickly thanked her while she hugged the little girl tightly.
Crowded.
After getting off the high-speed train and exiting the security check, I saw two old men with gray hair on their temples looking left and right, waiting for their children and their children's children.
There is no doubt that the two old people are relatives of the mother and daughter, and they are here to take them home. Seeing the family talking and laughing home, full of happiness, I admit that I am envious.
I took out my mobile phone, and there was nothing on it except a payment notice. "Damn." I cursed, picked up my suitcase, and looked for the van in my memory.
My hometown is in the countryside, and I still have many kilometers to go by car alone. Looking at the familiar streets, I sighed in my heart: I’m home!
After a lot of twists and turns, I always found a van to go back to my hometown. The driver was a middle-aged man with a beard, slightly fat, and spoke fluent foreign dialect. He was probably from out of town.
The uncle was very enthusiastic and helped me put my suitcase. I found a seat by the window. After doing that, I lit a cigarette and smoked it. Smoke rings surrounded my eyes. Looking at the busy traffic outside the window, I felt a sense of
Hazy beauty.
"Let's go." The uncle yelled, and a large group of people in the car were doing their own things, talking and laughing. A few people looked at me sideways along the way, probably because they recognized me and had a little impression. I just couldn't be sure, after all, I have been there all the time.
I am out of town and have not stayed at home for decades.
At first, the van ran smoothly on the asphalt road, but once it got off the asphalt road and entered the concrete road, it felt a little fluttery. Then it came to the dirt road in the countryside, full of potholes, which made people experience the feeling of heaven and earth.
I feel bad.
Finally, the car drove into the mountains of my memory. It just didn’t look like my childhood in my memory.
"Master, I'll get off the bus right here." I decided to get off the bus at the entrance of the village, take a good walk on the road I walked when I was a child, and pick up the wisps of memories.
Everyone in the car looked at me in surprise, as if they couldn't understand why I got off the bus here. "Young man, it's getting dark, you really have to get off here." The driver kindly reminded me.
"Yes, it's right here." I was sure to arrive. Two minutes later, after paying, I stood alone at the entrance of the village, with the suitcase in my left hand and my right hand in my pocket. I looked at the van that was getting farther and farther away, emitting exhaust gas, and listened to the discussions inside.
One after another, they smiled.
I'm finally back!
I took out my beloved Ziyun, lit one, started smoking, and threw the cigarette casing down the road. I remember this is how I threw garbage when I was a child.
Smoking a cigarette and dragging my suitcase, I walked slowly, very slowly, recalling the joy of my childhood. On the mountain opposite, my brother and I went to make bird's nests and even fell down to cross them.
I went down to the river with some little friends to catch fish and crabs...
I seem to see me as a child with a face full of mud and a slovenly look all over my body, but at that time I could laugh and be carefree. Look at me now, although I am tall and handsome in a suit and leather shoes.
I can't laugh anymore.
Isn't this what I expected when I grew up? Laughing! I am really laughing!
Night comes quietly, the moon climbs over the mountains and ridges, and finally hangs high in the night sky, emitting faint moonlight to give a tired person a little warmth!
I still walked very slowly, watching the small river flowing, the crops growing vigorously under the moonlight, and the evening breeze gently blowing my hair. At this moment, I was very happy, I seemed to be back to my childhood, back to my childhood.
Once upon a time.
