86. My brother is back
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, people who have a few days of leisure start to get busy again, going to work, going to school, and even farmers who rely on the fields to eat have started the autumn harvest one after another. Ye Shu and Tan Xiao also ended their idle lives and began to pack up to return to Yanjing.
"Are you really leaving? It's going to be the National Day in a few days, so it's better to go back after the National Day holiday." Ding Feng helped Ye Shu pack his suitcase, while muttering, Ye Shu wants to leave, he is reluctant, more is missing, Ye Shu used to be wandering alone, now he has a wife, and the two of them have left their hometown, although Tan Xiao is from Yanjing, but in his eyes, since she is married, she is the same as Ye Shu, and her roots are here.
The four members of the Ding family are there, Ding's father is sitting on the stool, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law help Tan Xiao to load things, not only clothes, but also local products they give Tan Xiao, they know that Tan Xiao loves to eat nuts, so they specially got a bag of hazelnuts, pure wild freshly picked, and brought back with skin, or the family pulled it out for half the night, but Tan Xiao's suitcase is a little small, and after loading clothes, it can't fit many other things, and it's not just these.
Tan Xiao chuckled, "If you don't go back, you can't do it, this time I took too long of leave, it is a serious absenteeism, I just promoted the deputy team, and if I don't go back, I will be removed from my position, not to mention, it will be easy to fire me." Tan Xiao didn't want to go back so soon, she liked the beautiful environment here, and she also liked the simple and unpretentious people here, not to mention, this is her home now.
Tan Xiao wanted to live like this, but she couldn't go if she didn't leave, Qin Chuan asked her to return to the team after making a phone call, and urged her every day. Not only Qin Chuan, but even her parents, who didn't care about her, had called her several times, although she didn't answer, but she couldn't stand the bombardment of text messages, all kinds of strong or sensational inquiries, and the amount of information in a day was more than the previous twenty years combined. Tan Xiao had no choice but to agree to go back to work, because those people gave an ultimatum, and if she didn't go back, she came directly to "invite" her to go back, even so, she still delayed the day of going back until after the holiday.
is different from when he came, now that he has left here, his mentality is different, Tan Xiao at this time is more like a person who has gone on a long trip, wandering, and his heart is rooted here. Or that the heart has grown in someone, and someone's roots are here.
"You've only been living for a few days, you're going to run out, you're busy these days, and you haven't poured out the effort to make anything delicious for you, you must come back for the New Year, and I'll give you steamed bean buns and stewed goose." Ding's mother gestured her pocket into Ye Shu's box again, there were not many clothes in that box, but Ding Feng packed a lot of dried vegetables and mountain goods, and she couldn't squeeze it down. "Where's all this?"
Tan Xiao smiled and agreed, "I have to come back, this is my home, I must come back." ”
"Then you must come back...... Mother Ding looked at Tan Xiao, her eyes were a little moist, these days, she and Tan Xiao are very good, and they are better to Tan Xiao than to their daughter-in-law.
Ding's father saw that they couldn't fit it, so he helped them on the side, broke it into pieces, divided a large bag of hazelnuts into several pockets, and put them in the box scattered, and then asked Ding Feng to sit on the box, and finally covered the box with great difficulty.
Ding's father clapped his hands and let out a sigh of relief, as if he was busy with all the work, and reprimanded his wife and children: "Young people should focus on their careers, you should learn from Xiao Yezi and Xiaoxiao, and if you hold back what you have at home every day, you should go out to see the world." ”
Ding's mother pursed her lips, very disdainful of her old man's attitude, "You have a future, you have seen the world, you can climb back to the Great Wall and you can still lose your shoes, I don't mean to talk about you." I don't know anything about career, don't tell me that, I know that the old saying goes, 'a thousand days at home is good, everything is difficult to go out', there is no home anywhere, this is the child's home, his roots are here. Xiaoxiao, when you have a child, if you are busy, you can send the child back, and I will bring it for you. ”
"You can pull it down, I don't fight this with you old girl, I don't understand anything. Father Ding sat back on the stool, lit a cigarette, and smoked it. He went out to wander, and he knew the hard work outside, so he didn't let Ding Feng go out to work, and would rather take a break and let him be a team leader, and take care of the family and land. And Ye Shu is different from Ding Feng, Ye Shu is not the material for farming, this can be seen since he was a child, and if he doesn't wander around, he will learn that knowledge in vain.
After packing up for more than an hour, and finally packed up, Ding Feng carried the big bag into the car, and in order to send Ye Shu, he specially borrowed a car. When she returned to Yanjing this time, Tan Xiao didn't drive back, she threw her car in the "Wafangdian", they were going to take the train back to Yanjing from the provincial capital, and Ding Feng was responsible for sending them on the bus.
Tan Xiao originally planned to ask Ding Feng to help contact a buyer to sell the car, as the hostess of the Ye family, she felt that the Ye family's house was a bit old, and a new one should be built, and it should be in line with her new hostess temperament, it was best to build a country villa, with this mountain and this water, and then put a reclining chair on the roof of the building, listen to the water flow, enjoy the mountain breeze, it must be very beautiful. And the cost of all this, selling the car should be enough. In this way, she has another home of her own, and she is not worried that others will dare to snatch it. It's just that as soon as he talked about the price of this car, Ding Feng shook his head, he knew that the car was very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. If someone can pay so much money to buy a car, then who still buys a second-hand car, just add some money to buy a new one, and the customized model is not good, the key is that he can't get in touch with people who can buy this kind of car, and he can't reach that grade at all.
"Ask Yu Blind", Tan Xiao also knew that he was in a hurry, but he really didn't want to drive the car back to Yanjing, there were always people who were worried about this car, but it was not okay to always leave it like this in the village, Ding Feng drove it a few times occasionally, but he couldn't afford to maintain it. Later, Ye Shu gave an idea, since Tan Xiao didn't want to drive this car back to Yanjing, he simply partnered with Ding Feng and rented out the car for wedding cars, and the price was according to the market price, so that Ding Feng was responsible, and he would get three or seven cents of money when he turned around, so that the car was not wasted, and it could also create some income. As for the money for building a house, of course Ye Shu will not rely on his wife to sell a car. Ye Shu has savings, and the rewards of the Public Security Bureau, plus the compensation for the death of his parents, add up to a total of 600,000 yuan. He felt that if he worked harder, in a few years, how could he build Tan Xiao a villa she liked at home. It's just that he left part of the money on the roof of Lao Cai's apartment, which was the "relic" he planned to leave to Lao Cai's father and daughter, and now he doesn't have to die, and I don't know if the father and daughter used it.
Ding Feng and Zhang Yanan sent Ye Shu and the others to the station together, and the two stepped on the southbound train and bid farewell to their hometown and friends.
The train slowly drove out of the platform, looking at the crowd of people seeing off outside the window and the station gradually pulling away, both of them felt a little depressed.
"Will we come back for the Spring Festival? I am a little reluctant to let the people in the village be very sincere, without hypocrisy. Tan Xiao patted Ye Shu's hand and rested his head on Ye Shu's shoulder.
"Well, it's not just the Spring Festival, as long as we have time, we can come back at any time. Ye Shu nodded slightly, in fact, he had long been accustomed to this kind of parting situation, but now there was one more person by his side, and following her emotions, he picked up that mood again. The two of them stared out the window blankly, and there were many people busy with the autumn harvest in the fields.
Not only were there many people in the fields, but there were also many people on the train, and the noisy noise quickly called the two back to reality from the thoughts of parting. I don't know if it's because it's close to Golden Week, the carriage is full, but fortunately they sit in first-class seats, and station tickets are not sold in the carriage, otherwise there must be a lot of blockages in the aisle.
After the train started, some people began to "flow" in the carriage, making tea, making noodles, chatting, and talking, which was very lively. There are also people who grow up in their seats, holding mobile phones, tablets, and headphones and start to isolate themselves from the world. Anyway, all kinds of people are doing all kinds of things in this enclosed space, and the journey is not close, and people are looking for things to do to pass the time.
Before getting into the car, Zhang Yanan bought a lot of snacks for the two, she is not very interested in snacks now, only has a soft spot for nuts, but after all, it is difficult to resist, they all took it. Now watching others eat, Tan Xiao is also itchy, so he took out a bag of hazelnuts from his bag and handed it to Ye Shu, Ye Shu pressed one, she ate one, one kept pressing, one kept eating, and the food was very enjoyable, so that she forgot the parting she had just experienced, at this time she only felt happy, as Ding Feng said before parting: Eat, I don't want to go home when I'm full, now, she really doesn't have time to miss home.
There are only a few high-speed trains from the Northeast to Yanjing, and they take one of them, where is the high-speed rail higher than the bullet train? Ye Shu only knows that the ticket price is higher, and the others are no different from the bullet train, whether it is in service or speed, there is little difference. When I got off the train, I found out that the end point of the bullet train was Yanjing Station, and the end point of the high-speed train was Yanjing South Station, which was farther away from where I lived.
Although the speed of the taxi at this time is not necessarily faster than the subway, it must be more comfortable than the subway, after all, there is no need to crowd people, at most the car is crowded, but it has nothing to do with them, it is a big deal to spend more fare.
The lights on the street are on, and the long-lost night scene makes the two of them feel like they are separated from each other, and the noise of vehicles that they have long been tired of before has a pleasant feeling in their ears at this time. Looking at the busy traffic on the street, the passers-by who were in a hurry on the side of the road were like fireworks that did not eat the world, Ye Shu always scoffed at these in the past, thinking that they were all puppets of life, but when he saw them again, he was actually excited, not envious of their lives, but glad that he was still alive and could continue his life.
The taxi drove the two out of the center of the city and to a place they were familiar with. It may be that they have experienced more than one or two lives and deaths during this time, which makes both of them feel like they have been away for a long time. The streets didn't change much, or they didn't notice any change, the dirty streets, the bustling crowds of people on the streets, and the ajar gates.
Looking at the door of the apartment, Ye Shu felt a feeling of tears, from life to death, and from death to life, everything was like a world away. Ye Shu pulled the suitcase, carried the bag, kicked open the half-hidden door of the apartment, stood at the door and shouted inside: "Brother is back." ”
