PART2Understanding

The belated oath, now, is the time to fulfill it. I will always be your guardian...

--"Inscription"

Summer vacation was originally a happy word, but at some point, it was quietly replaced by homework and cram school...

I used to hate holidays very much, because once I had holidays, my homework would come to me like a sharp knife. It has been like this for many years. Until I found the true meaning of summer vacation...

2009 Guangdong

"An Qi, move quickly, we are about to leave!"

Early in the morning, my mother was busy urging me to pack my luggage.

Because... we want to go back to her hometown - Hanchuan.

She hadn't been back for several years, so no wonder she was so excited.

I didn't sleep well and was in a bad mood, so I packed my clothes carelessly.

"Are you an old lady? Move quickly! If you miss your flight, you will be in trouble! Really, I don't care at all."

My mother was busy packing her luggage and still had time to scold me. I really impressed her.

My mood had sunk to the bottom, and when she said this, I became even more unhappy. Then my anger erupted like a flood,

"Isn't it just to go back to my hometown? Why are you so excited? I don't care about going back! I have so much homework during the summer vacation, how can I finish it when I go back? You haven't even thought about it for me!"

"What? I still wronged you when I go back to my hometown? If you don't go back, I will knock you down! We will all go back by then, leaving you alone in Guangdong without food and starving to death! How dare you talk back! Haven't I taught you what politeness is?"

"I'm right! Forget about starving to death, you don't care about me anyway! Also, I've been at my grandma's house since I was two years old, and you haven't taught me anything at all! Let alone manners!"

"You...you..." Mom was so angry that she couldn't speak.

I entered the room as triumphantly as if I had won a great victory.

But I turned my head at random, and found that my usually proud mother seemed to have changed, sitting silently in the corner.

Very pitiful, but still proud.

This makes me wonder, did I do something wrong?

I don't like arguments, but we can't help but argue whenever we open our mouths...

Her hometown is very strange to me.

Maybe it's because I don't understand her.
