Sun Lei sat at home for a while, got up again and walked outside, this is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Lin is estimated to be home, he should also go home for the New Year, this morning his mother made several calls to urge himself to go home for dinner, it seems that they will not eat breakfast if they do not go home. Sun Lei put the New Year's goods that had been prepared early into the trunk several times, started the car and rushed towards his hometown.

Sun Lei's hometown is in a small mountain village in the north of the county, about 40 kilometers away from the county seat, according to the usual speed, Sun Lei can return home within an hour, but this time Sun Lei is preoccupied, and the sky is cloudy and the road is slippery, Sun Lei was stunned It took an hour and a half to return home. I saw my house from a distance, and I saw a two- or three-year-old child standing there with a red face by the gate, it was Sun Lei's nephew Sun Zhi. Sun Zhi stood in his yard and jumped up happily when he saw Sun Lei's car, Sun Lei's brother Sun Wei saw his son jumping around the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up his son, and then stood aside and instructed his younger brother to stop. As soon as Sun Lei got out of the car, Sun Zhi called: "Uncle, hug, uncle." Sun Lei hurriedly stepped forward, took the child as soon as he could, and couldn't help but kiss Sun Zhi's face: "Yo! Why is this little face so cold?" Sun Lei asked. "This kid heard that you came back today, and he was waiting for you in the yard early in the morning, and he didn't come into the house no matter how much he told him. Sun Wei said on the side.

Sun Wei stepped forward to look at his younger brother Sun Lei as he spoke, and after a while, he patted Sun Lei on the shoulder and said, "Good boy." Sun Lei knew that his brother was also very concerned about himself, but this man was not good at expressing his emotions, no, it took him a long time to hold back such a sentence, but with these three simple words, Sun Lei could hear a kind of pride and relief from it. "Hurry into the house. Sun Wei beckoned, Sun Lei hugged his nephew and walked towards the house, as for the things in the trunk, he would take them later.

Sun Lei's father was sitting in the house smoking a cigarette, and when he saw Sun Lei coming back, he said lightly: "I'm back." Even if he said hello, he turned around and went to smoke, but he glanced at Sun Lei from time to time, and it could be seen that the old man also cared about Sun Lei very much. "Where did Mom go?" Sun Lei asked, without waiting for Sun Wei to answer, Sun Zhi hurriedly said, "Grandma went to the vegetable field to pull vegetables." Saying that, he looked at Sun Lei proudly, the child obviously wanted Sun Lei's praise, Sun Lei said with a smile: "Yo! Xiaozhi has grown up, and he knows that grandma is going to pull vegetables, why don't you accompany grandma to pull vegetables?" "The road outside is slippery, and grandma said that I am still young, and I will be able to go to the vegetable field when I grow up." Sun Zhi said seriously.

Sun Wei watched his son coquettish in his brother's arms with a doting face. After comforting Sun Zhi, Sun Lei got up and came to the yard, opened the trunk, and carried things into the house with large bags, Sun Wei saw that his younger brother was busy moving things, so he quickly got up to help, while Sun Zhi ran around excitedly. After moving all the things home in a few trips, Sun Lei breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Sun Lei had bought so many things, his father reproached: "What are you doing when you buy so many things, you have everything in the house, and you won't save money if you have a little money." In fact, every time Sun Lei came home, his father would say that he had bought too many things, and in the hearts of the elderly, as long as there was food and drink, it was enough, and there was no need to buy some strange things.

"This is not the New Year, buy some New Year's goods to have the appearance of the New Year, next time I won't buy it, keep the money to marry my daughter-in-law and buy a house." Sun Lei knew what his father was going to say next, so he simply said it first to save his father from speaking. In the concept of the elderly, money should be used to marry a daughter-in-law and buy a house, and it is a waste to use it elsewhere. 's father was about to teach Sun Lei a lesson, but Sun Lei's mother came back. I saw the old man wearing an apron around his waist, proposing a vegetable basket in his hand, and the basket was cabbage that had just been pulled from the ground, and his mother saw Sun Lei coming back, so happy that she put down the basket and ran forward, and took Sun Lei's hand and looked at Sun Lei with tears in her eyes.

Looking at his mother's gray sideburns, Sun Lei said with tears in his eyes: "Mom, I'm back." The mother said happily: "Okay, good, it's good to be back, after so many years, I finally went home for a year." The mother beckoned Sun Lei back to the house, and after Sun Lei sat down, his mother went into the kitchen to stir-fry. "Mom, you go and chat with Xiao Lei, I'll be alone in the kitchen. Sun Lei's sister-in-law Liu Yun said. "Isn't it faster for us to do it together, hurry up and eat, there are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon." "Grandma, I'm going to eat back to the pot. Sun Zhi's voice came. The old man hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, my grandson wants to eat back the pot meat, I'll do it." The old man saw that there were no ingredients suitable for making back pot meat in the kitchen, so he put down the work in his hand and walked towards the warehouse, and soon came back with a piece of pork belly.

When Sun Lei heard Sun Zhi's words, he pinched Sun Zhi's little face and said, "Look at your little face is chubby, and you still have to eat back to the pot meat, and then eat your face and it will grow like a steamed bun, are you afraid?" "Why don't you grow into the back pot meat? I want to grow into the back pot meat." Sun Zhi said with a serious face, and his immature and serious tone made the family laugh. After a while, the meal was ready, and the family happily had lunch around the table.

After lunch, Sun Lei and Sun Viagra were busy pasting couplets, the father was killing chickens and slaughtering fish in the yard, the mother and sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen, sitting and preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, and the little nephew Sun Zhi fell asleep after lunch, no, Sun Zhi, who woke up, was very energetic, and from time to time made a mess, running here and there, provoking Sun Wei to criticize harshly on the side, whenever Sun Wei criticized his son, the mother always stood up to defend her grandson, and the little guy had the protection of his grandmother, and he was more unscrupulous。

Sun Lei pasted the couplet while experiencing this rare calm, sometimes happiness is so simple, not to seek wealth and wealth, as long as the body is healthy and the family is happy.

Sun Lei's couplet hadn't finished posting, the phone on the coffee table in the room rang, three-year-old Sun Zhi picked up the phone, ran towards Sun Lei, who was standing on a chair and brushing the paste on the door, and shouted: "Uncle, someone called you." Sun Lei got down from the chair, took the phone and saw that Zhu Wujing was calling. "Director, what are your instructions?" Sun Lei was the only doctor in the department who dared to joke with Zhu Wujing.

Sun Lei didn't take it seriously when he received a call from Zhu Wujing, although Zhu Wujing is not a thing, but every year during the New Year, he always has to call his horses, pretending to say that it is condolences, in fact, it may be that he usually does too many bad things, so he makes a phone call during the New Year to ask for peace of mind. "Xiao Sun, your vacation has been canceled, now go back to the hospital immediately, there is something important. Zhu Wujing's serious voice came from the other end of the phone, Sun Lei heard the seriousness of the matter from Zhu Wujing's tone, Zhu Wujing, the old man, usually plays official, but the tone is clearly showing off, which is like this time, like a dead old lady. "Director, is something wrong?" asked Sun Lei. "The epidemic in Hudong Province has spread, our county has had the first list of confirmed cases, just now, a migrant worker who returned from Hudong has been diagnosed in our hospital, the hospital urgently notified, all medical staff canceled their vacations, and all returned to the hospital to be on standby. Zhu Wujing's words stunned Sun Lei, and what he had been worried about still happened. "Okay director, I'll go back. ”

After Sun Lei hung up the phone, he saw that everyone in the family was staring at him, even his naughty nephew was staring at him. It turned out that when Sun Lei answered the phone, his father overheard Sun Lei saying that he would go back immediately, and his father put down his work, came to Sun Lei's side, and listened attentively to Sun Lei's phone call. Although the father usually said that he didn't care about whether Sun Lei went home or not, deep down he still hoped that his son could stay at home for a while longer, and this expectation became even more obvious when the family was reunited. "Mom, the leader called just now, there is an emergency in the hospital and I want to go back, and I can't accompany you for the New Year this year. When my mother heard Sun Lei's words, she complained there: "Your leader is really, you have finally gone home for the New Year for so many years, why do you have to call you back at this time, why, there is no one at home, doesn't he have to go home for a reunion? Xiao Lei, you call your leader, I came to tell him, how can you be so bullying, you can't spend the New Year at home for so many years, how can you drop, such a big hospital can't do without you?" Sun Lei heard his mother's words, so he had to explain: " Mom, this time there is an urgent matter, the documents issued by the hospital, all the doctors have canceled their vacations, don't blame our leaders, besides, our director has never gone home for the New Year in recent years. Sun Lei knew his mother's temper, if he didn't explain it to her, the old lady might go directly to block the pig Wujing that day.

"Come on, what are you talking nonsense about an old woman? Xiao Lei, this is an urgent matter, how can you let you choose the time to treat the disease and save people. Father said from the side. "Didn't I just talk about it! Why did you blame me, old man? I didn't say I wouldn't let Xiao Lei go. "Mom, I'm sorry, when I'm done with this, I'll take a leave of absence for a while, I'll accompany you well, and I'll take you on a trip." Sun Lei had to comfort.

"Okay, don't think too much, you don't know your mother's temper, she's just whining, if you really take her on a trip, she should be in a hurry, can she let go of this house?" said his father. "Why can't I let it go? When the time comes, I'll let you be a bad old man at home and watch the house, and we'll all go on a trip." "Okay, you go, I'll look after the house at home." ”……

Sun Lei started the car and slowly drove out of his yard, and saw in the rearview mirror that the whole family was standing by the gate and watching him leave, and in the cold wind, those figures gradually became blurred.

Sun Lei's car made two clear marks on the wet road, starting from his own home and ending in an endless unknown place......
