9. Say goodbye to Toronto

It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the town of Markham, and the car stopped in front of the Warm Hotel. Before getting out of the car, I said to Xu Lisha, "I want to leave tomorrow, and I want to invite your family to dinner in the evening." ”

When she heard this, she said, "No, don't be so polite. ”

I said, "As a thank you and your family." ”

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get them in touch first, and then I'll call you back." ”

I said, "Okay." "Get out of the car.

When I got back to my room, I was so tired that I lay down on the bed, and after a while, I fell asleep. However, after a while, the phone rang. It was Xu Lisha who called. She said, "No, the eldest son is busy and can't come, the younger son is going to participate in the ice hockey game in the evening, and Li Yaoguang is also going to watch the game." So, they couldn't get over. ”

Of course, I knew that it was more important for them to be there and watch the game than to have dinner, so I said, "Why don't you come over and have dinner with me?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'm not going to watch hockey." Then, he asked, "Where to go?"

I said, "How about we go eat hot pot again?" because I think that hot pot tastes really good.

She said, "Okay, let's meet at the Chongqing hot pot restaurant at six o'clock?"

I said, "Okay." ”

When I hung up the phone, it was half past five, and I hurried out of the hotel and went to the restaurant. When I came to the restaurant, there were few customers in the restaurant. I went up to the second floor, sat down at the table near the window again, and while asking the waiter to prepare the food, I called Xu Lisha and said, "I've arrived, and I'm still sitting at the window on the second floor, where we sat last time." ”

"I'm driving and I'm going to be there," she said. ”

Not long after the phone hung up, Xu Lisha came, wearing a pure white long-sleeved shirt and a light blue floating skirt. This gives her a different kind of elegance and beauty.

I said to her, "It's okay today, there are not many people in the restaurant, it's quiet." ”

"Today, almost everyone in the town went to see an ice hockey game, so there weren't many people coming to eat," she said. ”

I said, "You don't watch the game much?"

"I don't like to watch games, but sometimes my youngest son has to go to competitions and I have to cheer him on," she said. However, his dad is an ice hockey fan, not only likes to watch, but also likes to play, but his level is too poor. Then he asked me, "Do you still play basketball?"

I said, "I don't play basketball much, but I play table tennis for an hour or two almost every day." ”

She said, "I also liked to play table tennis when I was a child, but when I was in junior high school, I never played it again. ”

I said, "So what do you usually do to exercise?"

She said, "Walk the dog." Once a day in the morning and once in the evening. I can walk two or three kilometers each time. ”

I asked, "So what are you doing the rest of the time? You can't stay at home all the time." ”

She said, "I usually get up in the morning to make the meal and let them go to work, so I go out and walk the dog, clean up the house, watch TV, and then make lunch, and after lunch, sometimes I am bored, I go to a friend's house to play mahjong for a while, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, I go home and start making dinner." After dinner, watching TV, it's almost time to go to bed. Life is like that, and there's nothing new about it. ”

The dish was prepared quickly. We chatted while eating, and when she said that I was leaving tomorrow, she looked a little sad and said, "I'm quite happy to be with you for the past two days, but when I think that you will leave tomorrow, I am still a little reluctant." ”

I joked, "If you can't help it, come back with me." ”

She smiled and said, "But there is no home for me anymore, my home is here." ”

I said, "That's your real home." ”

She sighed and said, "Yes, it's my home, but it's hard for me to go back." I've put down roots here. ”

After eating, she drove me back to the hotel. Because everyone in the family was in the gymnasium, she didn't want to go home alone, so she came to my room with me. Once in the room, she turned on the TV and tuned into the local channel. The screen is a lively scene of an ice hockey game. She looked at it for a moment, then pointed to the number 7 athlete and said, "You see this is my son." ”

I looked at it for a moment and said, "He still seems to be the main player." ”

As he was talking, his son was knocked down by the opposing player and didn't get up for a long time. She immediately screamed. It wasn't until she saw her son get up from the ground that she was relieved. After watching the TV for a while, she turned it off so as not to interfere with our speech.

She said to me, "Why do you have to go back in such a hurry to spend a few days here?"

I said, "I've traveled a lot and seen a lot of scenery." I'm just here to see you and hope you can live well. This purpose has been achieved, so, I want to go back early. In a few days, the students will be gathering in Hunan. ”

She asked, "Bought a ticket?"

I said, "I've booked my ticket, I'll pick it up at the airport tomorrow morning, it's a 10:25 flight." ”

She said, "I'll take you to the airport tomorrow." ”

I said, "No, I'll just get in the way." ”

She said, "Let me drive you, I want you to bring something for my mother." ”

I said, "No problem. ”

We talked for a while, and she was about to say goodbye, saying, "The game is almost over, I need to go back and make them some more food." You go to bed early. I'll come tomorrow morning at eight o'clock and drive you. ”

I said, "All right," and got up and dropped her off to the hotel, watched her get into the car, and drove away. It was so dark and very quiet that you could hear the stars blinking. Watching the lights fade into the night, I entered the hotel.

The next day, I got up early, packed up my things, ate a bowl of instant noodles, and sat in my room waiting for Xu Lisha. When it was close to eight o'clock, Xu Lisha came with two plastic boxes. She said to me, "These are two boxes of American ginseng. One box is for my mother, and one box is for you. ”

I took the box and said, "I don't want both of them for your mother, I don't want them, I want them useless, because I never use them." The year before last, someone gave me a box of ginseng from Changbai Mountain in Northeast China, but after a long time, it went bad. "Moreover, I also know that most of this American ginseng is Asian ginseng, which is imported from China. Because real American ginseng is very rare, it has long been strictly restricted by the Canadian government for the purpose of resource conservation.

But Xu Lisha said seriously, "No, this is a little bit of my heart." ”

Seeing that she looked serious, I said, "Okay, it's better to be respectful." Then he put the box in the box.

Because it was not early, we carried our things downstairs, settled the bill with the proprietress in the living room, and left the hotel and got into Xu Lisha's car. Cars travel through the city of Toronto, because it is the time to go to work in the morning, and there are quite a lot of cars on the streets and roads, and the car cannot drive fast. So, when I arrived at Parson International Airport, it was close to nine o'clock.

After getting out of the car, she wanted to send me into the departure hall, but I didn't let her send me any more, so I said goodbye to her on the side of the road in front of the departure hall, and I said, "Okay, thank you for accompanying and taking care of me these days." When you return to China, I want to thank you well. ”

She asked, "How do you thank me?"

I said, "Invite you to dinner and take you out to play." ”

She said, "Okay." ”

We shook hands and said goodbye. She held my hand tightly and said in a earnest tone, "I'm too far away from my mother to take care of her, so please take the time to visit my mother and help me take care of her." ”

I said, "No problem, you can rest assured." ”

She nodded, then hugged me tightly and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

I hugged her tightly and said, "Call me if there's anything." With that, I came out of her arms, waved my hand at her, and said, "Goodbye!"

She waved at me and said, "Goodbye!"

I walked towards the departure hall with my backpack and trolley suitcase, and when I got to the door of the departure hall, I looked back and saw that she was still standing there waving at me. I waved at her again and entered the hall. I picked up my ticket, went through security, sat in the waiting room, and after about half an hour, I started boarding until 10:25 a.m., when the plane started heading straight for Beijing.

Sitting on the plane, I still couldn't calm down. I began to think about the significance and gain of this visit to Canada. I just wanted to come over to see how Xu Lisha was doing, but this trip seemed to make me experience love again. It's a great feeling, but it also makes me feel very lost. Because I left her, I felt broken again.

Life is so strange, always unwilling to be lonely and bland, pursuing novelty and romance, but after novelty and romance is boundless loss. But no matter what, this beautiful feeling will be hidden in my heart forever.

The plane was flying over Toronto, the sun was clear and warm in the bright sky, and I thought my dreams would stay here forever.
