Chapter 60: Returning Home

Bang, clang, clang...

Zhou Xiao sat on the train and fell asleep, he was playing too crazy a few days ago, either drinking or on the way to drink, the classmates who had been holding back for four years let go of themselves, no, it should be said that they were reluctant.

The first few times I had a party with the young lady and other departments, I was quite happy, that is, I was fighting wine, and I saw which side was better, and some timid boys or girls took the last opportunity to confess.

But when his brother and Lao Zheng drank the wine, the atmosphere became solemn, many people shed tears, and agreed to come back often in the future, classmates only have four years, but friends can last a lifetime.

Zhou Xiao took the graduation photo, and with the assistance of his roommates, he took the lead in moving out of the dormitory, fifteen people in the department, only he and the mouse remained in Jinling, less than five people in the province, and the others will go to all parts of the country.

Thinking about it in the future, it is not easy for the brothers to sit together and chat, fart, and drink, but afterwards, I will still feel uncomfortable, in the swaying rhythm, Zhou Xiao has regrets... Fell asleep.

No way, set off early in the morning, he has some recognition of the bed, not enough rest, there are three days before he officially becomes an office worker, he must go home to see his parents first, and the next time it is estimated that he will have to be empty during the New Year.

Returning from Jinling to my hometown is either a train or a car, the latter is faster, but the price is more expensive, and it is still during the summer vacation, and it is not as comfortable as the former, especially the sound of the rails when driving, which is the same as a lullaby.

The day before, he had already bought some special food, such as salted duck, duck fat shortbread and so on, and put them in the refrigerator, and also chose a pair of leather shoes for his father, and his mother was a new dress as a gift.

As for the money, I don't plan to give it for the time being, there is no shortage of small money at home, and there is no big money, Zhou Xiao has already planned to give them a bigger red envelope when the New Year comes.

After three hours of train, two more shuttle buses, at one o'clock in the afternoon, arrived in the village.

"Zhou Xiao is back, no wonder you are busy early in the morning. ”

"The top student has come home, and I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

"Zhou Xiao, I'll come to my uncle's house for dinner in a while. ”

"Go back, your parents have been waiting all morning. ”

Because the village is small, the villagers know the roots, Zhou Xiao, who was dragging a suitcase, was warmly welcomed, and he was also happy to see familiar faces, smiling and greeting them one by one.

Just as he was about to go uphill along the familiar path, a black dog came running wildly, whimpering as he ran.

Zhou Xiao laughed, squatted down, and hugged the big black dog with a frenzied tail in his arms: "Xiaobai, did you hear the sound of me coming back, don't lick me, you stink, I'll help you take a bath." ”

The big black dog couldn't understand the owner's words, so his ears drooped and began to circle around Zhou Xiao, and from time to time he pounced on Zhou Xiao.

After arguing with Xiaobai for a while, Zhou Xiao heard the footsteps and looked up, the smile on his face became even bigger, and a familiar figure was walking quickly, it was his father.

"I'm tired, come and hurry home, my mother has been preparing the dishes and waiting for a long time. Dad reached out and took the suitcase as he spoke: "How long have you been back to live this time, have you been in good health recently, are you tired from work, look at this sweat..."

"Hey, hey!" Zhou Xiao just smiled and walked home after his father.

It's okay, I haven't seen him for half a year, and my father's body is still very tough.

My parents got married and had Zhou Xiao in their early twenties, so now they are in their forties, but they usually work in the fields and their skin is darker.

Zhou Xiao's height inherited from his father, he is also nearly 1.8 meters, when he was a child, his father often said that he was popular, and the matchmakers in Shili and Eight Villages came to introduce him.

"Mom, I'm back, Mom, I'm hungry!" As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Zhou Xiao began to shout.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The old mother smiled, wiped her hands on the apron and walked out, pulling Zhou Xiao up and down to look at her for a long time: "I've lost weight." ”

"Hahaha, I'm thin, I'm going to eat. ”

"Stewed an old hen and your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. ”

A family of three entered the house lively.

Dad put the suitcase aside first, turned on the fan that had been prepared a long time ago, and headed towards Zhou Xiao, while Mom lifted the lid of the pot and brought out the hot dishes one by one.

"What are you doing in a daze, there is no ice in the refrigerator and the drink is so hurry up and get it. When she saw her father staring blankly at her son, her mother spoke.

"Eh, okay, I'll go right away. ”

"Don't use your hands, give you chopsticks. When he saw Zhou Xiao impatiently carrying a piece of pork ribs and stuffing it into his mouth, his mother patted him gently.

"Hehe, I haven't eaten in a long time, Mom, you know no, what I think about most in school is what you cook. ”

Zhou Xiao's sycophants were extremely well shot, and his mother couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

"Uh... Tons and tons of Coke!" Dad poured a glass of Coke and put it on the table.

"You haven't eaten either, hurry up and sit down together, and we will have a reunion dinner as a family." Zhou Xiao didn't have to think about it, he knew that his parents must be waiting for him.

"Eat it all together. ”

Five dishes and one soup, all meat, were obviously prepared for Zhou Xiao.

After eating two bites, my mother put down her chopsticks and served him a bowl of soup first, with a big chicken leg in it.

"Hmm... You eat too, I'll be fine myself. Before he finished speaking, Dad came over with another piece of beef, and the bowl was piled up like a hill.

I really felt that my thighs were heavy, and a big black dog named Xiaobai pawed up.

"Sit down!"

Xiaobai whimpered and took two steps back and sat down obediently.

Zhou Xiao threw a bone, and it was picked up in mid-air, this dog was brought home by Zhou Xiao's father when he was a sophomore in high school, a soil dog, but it was very black, so his name was Xiaobai.

After eating two large bowls of rice and drinking tens of thousands of chicken soup, my stomach was full of food.

"Go to the living room, it's cooler. "Dad took the fan out again.

The home is a two-story brick house, except for the old, cold in winter and cool in summer, and because the rooms are not sealed, it is not easy to install air conditioning, and there is nothing bad about anything else.

This is also why Zhou Xiao has been thinking about rebuilding his parents, there are already some people in the village who have built small western-style houses, and his goal is to complete it within five years, about 300,000 yuan, and 60,000 yuan a year, which is not a small pressure.

After his mother sat down after she was done, he opened his suitcase and took out the gifts.

"You said that you can't wear leather shoes twice a year, it's too wasteful. Dad was obviously at a different point, blaming him, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Ouch, I wear it occasionally, it's a soft soles, it's very comfortable. ”

My mother was also happy, and put it directly on her body and gestured: "Lao Zhou, what do you see?" ”

"Beautiful!" the father and son had a clear heart, and at the same time extended their thumbs.

After carefully folding the clothes, the mother sat down.

"Don't spend money in the future, now that you've graduated, it's almost time to think about getting married. ”

Zhou Xiao was shocked: "I'm still young!"

"What's small, when I was your age, you were already born. Dad's tone sounded a little smug.

"I'll tell you, Erhua in the next village..."

Zhou Xiao: ......
