The car stopped at the entrance of the town, and Chen Yiming said with a smile: "Don't you think it's a surprise?"

The driver smiled, "Sort of." ”

"Just go back and tell Lao Yao the truth, I made it clear to him, my home is on Yingbin Road in this town, a small building on the side of the street, next time I have the opportunity to invite you to sit down." ”

The driver hesitated, "Mr. Chen, why don't I send you to the door." ”

Chen Yiming hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, then I won't be able to explain it clearly." ”

The driver had no choice but to get out of the car and take out a square box packed in a bag from the trunk and hand it to Chen Yiming, "Mr. Chen, this is a little caution from Mr. Yao." ”

Chen Yiming didn't accept it at first, and the driver said pitifully, Mr. Chen, don't embarrass me, an errand runner.

Enough, when you drank with me and Lao Yao last night, why don't you say that you are an errand runner, a dignified and one-meter-eight strong man is cute here, you are so ruthless......

Chen Yiming had no choice but to accept it, then smoked a cigarette with him, and asked him to remember his phone, "If there is something inconvenient to say to Lao Yao in the future, call me, I have worked hard for you in the past two days." ”

The driver threw a fist at him, turned around and left.

Because of a catastrophe, there are a lot of resources for post-disaster reconstruction, and the original potholed gravel road in the town has also been transformed into a two-way two-lane cement road in the past few months.

It's just that on both sides of the road, there is still mud and dust brought from various dirt roads, and occasionally a car passes by, and it is a feeling of yellow sand filling the sky in front of you.

Chen Yiming pushed the trolley box with his right hand, and dangled the gift bag from Lao Yao with his left hand, and slowly walked towards home.

His home was on the busiest main street in the middle of the town, so he had to cross half the town to get from the entrance to his home.

The distance is more than 500 meters......

As he walked, reality and memories were intertwined, and a sense of confusion came to his heart.

Like most of the country's backward towns, after a large-scale expansion and reconstruction along with the drastic changes of the times, development has come to a standstill, with only sporadic minor adjustments.

At this moment, the town that has just undergone great changes is not much different from the one he saw twenty years later, with different heights, disorderly, but the same small white tile façade building, coupled with several government facilities used in the old site, looking at it, most of the thoughts in my heart are:

Oh, this building used to look like this;

The police station used to be here;

The supply and marketing cooperative's building was quite magnificent before it was demolished;

This red romantic dance hall is 8002 years old, why hasn't it been changed to KTV yet!

This supermarket, hey, why should I look at this supermarket?

The young girl who was at the cashier raised her head as if she had a feeling, her eyes met in the air, and then she silently lowered her head and walked towards the house, where the customer who was waiting for the money shouted blankly, and then hurried back.

Chen Yiming sighed, this ordinary beauty with clear eyebrows and a little good behavior is her first love in junior high school!

Calculate the time, at this time, the kindergarten teacher she studied has not yet graduated, and she has not yet married and had children with her former tablemates, the youth of the dog's day, and the stupid and profound past.

Chen Yiming took a step and walked home.

There were many familiar faces along the way, most of them were uncles and aunts who greeted them warmly, but there were some doubts in their eyes, how did this kid come all the way back?

Chen Yiming also reacted when he was about to get home, and walking half a street like this seemed to have a feeling of showing off on the street......

reacted, and immediately felt so ashamed.

But after thinking about it, he is so handsome, he should have contributed to the appearance of the town.

Standing under the signboard of [Sister Xiu Shoe Store] in front of his house, Chen Yiming saw that there were no customers in the house, only five or six women sitting and chatting and eating fruit.

Everyone also saw Chen Yiming, and hurriedly got up, "Ouch, the college student is back!"

"College students have grown so tall, remember me, I'm your aunt's brother-in-law's little sister. ”

"Oh, Sister Xiu, this is your son, he looks really similar to Sister Xiu!"

Different from everyone's enthusiasm, Yang Xiu just snorted arrogantly, and said with a disgusted face: "I came back so late, and I don't know where to go, so why don't you go up and clean it up." ”

This is the duplicitous mother, who changed to her original self, and it is estimated that her heart was filled with depression, and then she went upstairs in disappointment, and the idea of reconciliation died as soon as she started.

"Gotcha. Chen Yiming handed the bag in his hand to Yang Xiu, "This is a gift from a friend, you can put it in a while." ”

There is a special cabinet at home for these valuables, Chen Yiming checked the weight, it should not be jewelry, it may be some tea or porcelain, and he is too lazy to open it.

Yang Xiu hummed, stretched out his hand to take it, and placed it on the table next to him casually.

Chen Yiming greeted everyone, and before opening the door and walking into the back hall of the storefront, he said with a hippie smile, "I haven't seen you for so long, but my mother is still so beautiful." ”

"Flim tongue!" Yang Xiu commented, but the smile that couldn't be hidden at the corner of her mouth betrayed her heart.

This building has a total of four floors, the first half of the front half is the façade, the back half is the kitchen and dining room, the second floor is the living room and the bedrooms of Lao Chen and Yang Xiu, the third floor is Chen Yiming's bedroom and study, the fourth floor is the tool room and utility room, plus a roof platform.

Lifting the box to the bedroom on the third floor, Chen Yiming did not rush to tidy up his things, but sat on the sofa in the bedroom, watching all this.

A bed was placed against the corner, and the wall above the bed was plastered with posters of Ronaldo and Kaka, the largest of which was the photo of Kaka holding the Ballon d'Or, and his favourite was probably the front page of the Champions League semi-finals called "Three Englands against Milan".

In the corners, there are also portraits of football stars that he cut out of football magazines and newspapers.

There should be a box full of football magazines in the cabinet.

Chen Yiming bent down, and sure enough, he saw a few pairs of worn sneakers and two deflated soccer balls under the bed.

All of this is a teenager's simple and fiery football dream.

"What an iron straight man, he didn't even hide a few copies of Liu Bei. ”

Flipping through the bookcase, Chen Yiming pursed his lips, looked at the big glass in the middle of the wardrobe, shook his head and sighed, "It's really blind to this handsome face." ”

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Lao Yao calling.

"Brother, are you home?"

"Well, everything went well. ”

"That's good, have a good New Year, and wait for you after the New Year. ”

"Okay, oh yes, what did you give me, I weighed it. ”

Lao Yao snorted, "180,000 cash, it has already been prepared, New Year's flowers." ”

"it!"

......

Downstairs, Yang Xiu was chatting with everyone, but the eyes of several people involuntarily glanced at the table next to Yang Xiu.

"Sister Xiu, what is in this, open it and open our eyes?"

"That's right, look at what gifts are given by college students' friends, and we have seen a lot. ”

Yang Xiu shook his head, "Xiao Ming's things, I can't open them without permission." ”

"What's that, everyone else was born to you, what else can't you see?"

"Yes, besides, if he doesn't give you everything, then you'll be at your disposal. ”

Yang Xiu hesitated a little, "No, in fact, there is nothing to see, you look at this box, it is also ...... It's so pretty. ”

"Don't worry, Sister Xiu, we just want to see, and we won't want you. ”

"That's it, we still have it. "Okay, then let's see, secretly. Yang Xiu was instigated to succeed.

Slowly taking the box out of the bag and putting it on his lap, Yang Xiu slowly lifted the lid of the box.

Several pairs of eyes looked at each other at the same time, and then let out a burst of exclamation in unison.

I saw half a neat box of cash stacked in the box, brand new, stacked and stacked, all of them were a hundred dollars.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Yiming's voice sounded calmly on the side, and everyone was in shock, not noticing that there was a slight gasp in his tone.

Everyone looked at him, and Yang Xiu said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This?"

"Oh, this, my friend gave it to me!" Chen Yiming saw that Yang Xiu was still holding the lid of the box, and understood that there was still room for redemption, and the key acting skills had to be passed, natural and casual.

He reached out and took the box from Yang Xiu's hand, then picked up a stack of money at random, and patted it in his hand, "Mom, you know, I learned financial management, and I will be in charge of money in the future, and the ones in this box are all sent by my classmates to practice at home during the winter vacation." ”

"My friend gave you so much money, so you used it to count and play?" said an aunt who couldn't believe her ears.

"Will I pay if I have less money?" said an aunt whose child was in high school.

Chen Yiming shook his head and said, "No, we still have to take the exam when we go back." If you count slowly, you can't pass the level. ”

He seemed to suddenly remember something, and laughed dumbly, "I said that your expressions are wrong, this is fake money, it is fake money that simulates the feel of real money, and it is not as expensive as this box, and the New Year's gift that people gave me is this box." ”

Saying that, Chen Yiming pulled the stack of money in his hand on the box at random, then threw it in and closed the lid, patted the box, and glanced at Yang Xiu, "Mom, don't mess with my things next time." ”

Before the other party could react, Chen Yiming turned around, entered the house, and then rushed upstairs.

Hiding the box in the depths of the wardrobe, Chen Yiming was lying on the sofa, his heart was pounding, MD, almost killed Lao Yao!

He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lao Yao, "Brother, I really thank you!"

Lao Yao quickly replied, "Brother is polite, the trivial things are not worth mentioning, next time I will decorate you more." (Yao Fu played on behalf of him)"

Chen Yiming is discouraged, dealing with this kind of uneducated local tyrant is so exciting, working with you from time to time, you can't blame him.

Small things, Chen Yiming comforted himself for a while.

He sent another message to Su Lai and Chu Xia saying that he had arrived home.

Sulai quickly replied, "Well, okay, stay safe. ”

Stay safe???

Chen Yiming slowly typed a question mark, "Did you plant a mine in my house?"

"Ahaha, I was busy just now, I replied casually, you are too, what are you doing to debunk me. Lego admits directly.

"Blame me, blame me. Chen Yiming was interested.

In comparison, Chu Xia's reply was much more serious, "Well, it's hard, it's fun, don't worry about me." ”

That's the difference between a wife and a girlfriend!

Chen Yiming picked up his phone and began to pack his things.

In the store, embarrassed laughter rang out one after another:

"Ahaha, fake, fake. ”

"The life of a college student is really new. ”

"I thought, haha. ”

"It can't be fake, right?"

"Are you playing dumb riddles or tongue twisters here?"

Finally, a normal person came out to help Chen Yiming, "What Xiao Ming said should be true, aren't those people in the bank just counting money quickly!"

Yang Xiu said dumbfounded: "Oh, it's all your fault, my son made me ugly in front of my son on the first day he came back." ”

All:......

Sister Xiu's focus seems to be crooked again.
