Volume III, Chapter 25: Returning Home
Chen Zilin drove Chen Ziang back to see his parents.
Chen Ziang has not returned to the small mountain village of Quancheng for many years, and the memories of his childhood are flooding back like a tide, and the scenes of the sixth and seventh brothers going to school together and playing together are vivid.
I remember when I was young, there were very few fruits, but there were many wild fruits in the mountains, wild mountain peaches, wild apricots, and the sixth and seventh brothers would take Chen Ziang to pick them together.
"Ziang, the sixth brother will pick apricots for you to eat, and you will sing a song to your brother. ”
"The sixth brother hates it, and every time he asks Ziang to sing, Ziang doesn't know what to sing. ”
"You singing about the little girl picking mushrooms. ”
"Sixth brother, can you teach your godson more new songs. ”
"Yo, Zilin is tired of hearing it?"
"Zilin didn't get tired of hearing it, that is, the sixth brother should teach us something new. ”
The sixth brother is in high school in the city, Ziang and Zilin are only in junior high school, and every time he comes back, he will bring them some novelty things, and occasionally bring back a fruit candy for the two of them.
"Then listen well....." Before the sixth brother could start singing, the branch was trampled on by the sixth brother, and the sixth brother fell from the tree.
The sixth brother clutched a branch tightly in his hand, and there were two slightly yellowed apricots on the branch.
"Sixth brother. Zilin and Ziang ran to the sixth brother together, and the sixth brother endured the pain.
"I picked two yellow ones, one for each person. ”
"Sixth brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, the sixth brother is sturdy. The sixth brother said with grinning teeth.
A few days later, the sixth brother said that he would go out to work, and there was no more news.
"Ziang, are you thinking about the sixth brother?" Chen Zilin and Chen Ziang are only four years apart, and he can probably guess what Chen Ziang thinks, especially since Ziang said before that she met the sixth brother.
He didn't go to high school, he went home early and married his daughter-in-law, and when Chen Ziang was in high school, he began to marry a wife and have children, and began to go out to work to earn money to support his family.
"Well, do you remember the first few days when the sixth brother left?"
"Of course I remember, I was going up the tree, and he wouldn't let me go up, and then he fell. ”
"I picked an apricot for each of the two of us. ”
"Ziang, you said that if you are really the sixth brother, why does he pretend not to know you? I think you have not changed much in the past few years, except for dressing beautifully and growing taller, it is impossible for him not to know you, right?"
"I think it's very similar, and he seems to be very protective of me, but he seems to be seeing me for the first time, so I think it's strange, and I want to go to Diancheng. ”
"What if it's not the sixth brother?"
"If it's not the sixth brother, then let's continue to look for it. If it's the sixth brother, there must be a reason why he doesn't recognize us. As long as we know he's doing well. Chen Ziang sighed imperceptibly.
Gu Qiang, the son of the first entrepreneur and the first philanthropist in Diancheng, has immeasurable assets in his hands, a son and a daughter of the Gu family, a daughter graduated from Zhejiang University, and is now the president of the Gu family.
Gu Qiang, young and unenterprising, not good at studying, was kicked out of the house by Gu Boss, starting from the grassroots level, the current vice president of Gu's enterprise, although he is deputy, but all the things of the Gu family are his final say.
That's all she knows.
She hopes that he is his sixth brother, maybe, the sixth brother is for a better life?
No, Sixth Brother is not the kind of person who only wants money, and he is not a person who only cares about his family for himself.
However, Gu Qiang is really too much like the sixth brother, will there be two people who are exactly the same in the world? What kind of family is the Gu family? Will Gu Zhengjuan be very similar to Gu Qiang?
"Ziang, do you know that you are also very similar to the sixth brother?"
"Aren't we all alike?"
"Our family is really polarized, a few of the eldest look like Dad, a few of our little ones look like Mom, and Mom and Dad are really good at giving birth. Chen Zilin said with a smile.
Chen Zilin and the others arrived home, the commissary at home was still in full swing, and the villagers were busy.
My father and mother had gray hair, but they were in good spirits, and they were not deaf or blind.
"Dad, Mom!" Chen Ziang choked up and shouted to his parents, and he couldn't speak.
When Xicheng opened before, her parents went to Xicheng, she didn't come back, and she was busy in the past few years, and guilt immediately came to her heart, although her parents said that they were in good health, but after all, they were older.
"Boss, do you still know to come back?" Dad said in a reproachful tone, but his face was full of smiles, and his big eyes narrowed into slits.
"My son, are you back?" the mother took Chen Ziang's hand and looked up and down, left and right.
"Well, I'm back. Chen Ziang said with tears and a smile.
Mother was reluctant to let go of Chen Ziang's hand, pulled him to sit beside her, gently stroked Chen Ziang's hand, and picked it up to take a look, but saw that Chen Ziang was missing a finger.
Chen Ziang wanted to withdraw his hand, but his mother held it tightly in his hand, stroked it gently, and picked it up and put it in his mouth for a while.
"My son, you have suffered all these years. Mom's tears ran down her cheeks.
"Mom, this one was accidentally wrestled and broken, and the doctor said at the time that it could only be amputated, otherwise it would affect the entire arm, Mom, you see, I'm not doing well. Chen Ziang was much taller than her mother, she hugged her mother, and her mother could only lean on her shoulder.
"It hurt, didn't it?"
"It didn't hurt, I was given anesthetic at the time, and it didn't hurt at all. At that time, Chen Ziang really didn't know the pain, because her heart was full of anger and fear.
"How can it not hurt, ten fingers to the heart. ”
"Mom, I didn't bring anything to you and my dad when I came back. Chen Ziang felt a little sad in his heart, why didn't he think about bringing something back when he left.
"Just come back, what in this world can compare to your return." ”
"Mom, you and my dad have worked hard all these years. ”
"When I was young, it was hard, but now the policy is good, you see, our family is like now. Mom was angry and asked Chen Ziang to look at the villagers.
"Mom, you and my dad are very good. ”
"Your father and I don't have anything to be proud of in this life, and the proudest thing is to give birth to seven or eight stinky cubs. Mom brushed the hair from Chen Ziang's face with her hand and looked at Chen Ziang carefully.
"Mom, I didn't bring anything with me when I came back, so many folks are here, I give them a little money?"
"Okay, give a few hundred yuan per person, you are all better now, give them a little, you ate a lot of food when you were a child. "They have a lot of children in the family, and every family in the village has gone to eat.
"Good. ”
Although she sends money home every month, she knows that her parents are not short of money now.
In recent years, no matter how busy she is, she has guaranteed to make phone calls three times a week, and when she calls, her mother and father just ask some common words, repeating them over and over again, and she also answers them again and again.
Chen Ziang didn't bring anything back, she felt a little embarrassed with her empty hands, so she gave each of the villagers 500 yuan and asked the villagers to buy what they liked.
She is still in the entrepreneurial stage, and there are too many places where she needs funds in her hands, and then again, it is also a temporary idea, and she does not bring too much money.
But in this way, the villagers are also very happy, and their own children may not be able to give them so much money.
The villagers had already helped their mother prepare the meal, and dozens of people set up a few tables in the dojo, and everyone was as happy as the New Year.
The villagers chatted about the children of the Chen family, and Chen Ziang listened with a smile, the family is so good!
