Chapter 4: I'm Back

The plane landed at Rongcheng International Airport two and a half hours later, and I was back in this familiar land. I could understand a word of what everyone was saying, but I seemed to have lost my ability to express myself, and I couldn't figure out how I was feeling.

I only remember that when I left, I vowed to break into the world in Kyoto, but I came back alone two years later.

I followed this stinky girl all the way after getting off the plane, I didn't want to retaliate against her, I just wanted to tell her a truth, at least I had to apologize, otherwise her character would definitely suffer in the future.

She wasn't as arrogant as she was on the plane, probably because she was really afraid of what I would do to her, although her tone was still a little arrogant, but it was obviously a lot more cowardly.

"Don't you want to hurt me...... I'm telling you, I can call the police at any time and get you in again!"

"Little girl, can we not be so arrogant, do you know that your character is easy to suffer, I just advise you, if you don't listen, then I didn't say it. I shrugged my shoulders and said indifferently.

"Why are you as annoying as Li Liyang!" she glanced at me impatiently.

"Li Liyang!" I was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Do you know Li Liyang?"

"What if you know, what if you don't? You'd better stay away from me, don't think I'm a bully. ”

"What is the relationship between you and Li Liyang?" I immediately became serious and continued to ask her.

"What's your business!" she glanced at me and walked briskly towards the exit.

Li Liyang is the chairman of my former company, the reason why I asked her so much, I have long seen that she is not ordinary, even the small bag she carried is the latest style of Hermes this year, worth more than 100,000 yuan, wearing a Cartier diamond-encrusted bracelet on her wrist, and her trendy brand clothes, she is by no means a small person.

It's just that I don't understand, why does she live in a hotel like me and take a discounted economy class when she is so rich?

Dragging my suitcase out of the airport and standing under the scorching sun, I subconsciously squinted my eyes and took a deep breath, the air was full of familiar smells, which only belonged to the unique taste of the city of Chengdu.

As the saying goes: if you don't enter Sichuan, you won't get out of Sichuan. Rongcheng is a city suitable for retirement

I followed the crowd towards the subway entrance, opened my wallet and took out two steel hammers to buy a subway ticket, and in the roar of the subway, I didn't know how to go home to face my parents.

After half an hour of shaking, I finally stood at the entrance of the community, which was a fund-raising building from the 80s of the last century, and the walls were already covered with moss, as if they would fall when a strong wind blew.

I stood at the door of the community and lit a cigarette for myself, and I didn't know how to deal with it until now, let alone explain why I came back.

"Adong?" a voice that wasn't sure if it was calling me sounded behind me.

I instinctively looked back, and there was my mother standing behind me with a vegetable basket, and she must have gone to the supermarket to buy cheap vegetables for the afternoon.

The moment I saw my mother, I couldn't help but have a sour eye, but I still tried to keep a smile: "Mom, I'm back." ”

My mother looked surprised, she looked me up and down, and then asked me, "Why did you come back all of a sudden? Why don't you call home?"

I pretended to smile lightly and replied, "Mom, I won't go to the magic capital when I come back this time, and I'll stay by your side in the future." ”

My mother is a temperamentless person, but my words still made her frown, and she led me to the community while asking worriedly, "Is it not your work over there?"

"No, I just miss you and Dad...... Besides, haven't you always wanted me to come back, and now that I'm back, shouldn't you be happy? As I spoke, I reached for the basket from my mother's hand.

My mother didn't say anything anymore, and when I walked into the community, there were more acquaintances, and there were more people who greeted me, and most of the people in this fund-raising building were colleagues from my mother's and father's former units.

The old mother pointed to Aunt Cao who had just walked over and said, "Son, do you remember Aunt Cao? She is now a mother-in-law, her son is promising, I heard that she has been admitted to the civil service examination and is now helping the government ......."

Mom stopped talking, I knew what she wanted to say, I knew what she was worried about, I just laughed it off.

When I got home, I was stunned at the door, looking around at everything familiar and unfamiliar in this home, and a bitter taste welled up in my heart.

After my mother carried the basket to the kitchen and put it down, she said to me, "Son, are you hungry? Mom will cook you a bowl of noodles first." ”

"Mom, I'm not hungry, by the way, where did my dad go?"

"Playing chess with his old comrades-in-arms outside. ”

"Then let's wait for Dad to come back and have dinner together, I'll eat two fruits first." ”

……

Before dusk, I settled the small bedroom where I used to live, the room was very narrow, I must not be able to stay at home this time, I have to go out to rent a room.

Taking advantage of my mother's cooking time, I searched for nearby properties on the same city website, and fortunately, they are cheaper than in Kyoto, but it is still difficult for me to afford it now.

It seems that I have to rent a shared house, and I contacted an owner, it is a two-bedroom suite, the second bedroom is 800 yuan a month, and it is said that you can pay a quarter first, plus a deposit of 500 yuan for a total of 2900 yuan.

I opened Alipay and looked at it, and there was still 2,300 left of the 3,000 yuan borrowed from Xiaobei, and there was still a difference of 600 yuan, and if I paid all the rent, my life would become a big problem. After thinking about it, I decided to go to my mother for help.

At the kitchen door, I leaned against the door frame, and after a while, I said to my mother, "Mom, I want to ...... I'm looking for you to borrow some money......"

My mother looked at me unexpectedly, wiped her hands on her apron, and asked me kindly, "How much do you want?"

I held out a finger and said, "A thousand is enough, I mainly want to rent a house." ”

My mother called me to her bedroom, and she took out two thousand dollars in cash from a drawer and handed it to me.

I shook my head and said, "Mom, a thousand is enough." ”

"You take it, you come back now and you have to look for a job again, you have to start everything again, it's when you need money. ”

My mother forcibly stuffed the money into my hand, my nose was sour, and I couldn't do anything when I looked at my elderly mother. I immediately swore in my heart that I must come out with a mix this time!

At this time, there was the sound of the key inserting the lock cylinder outside the door, and my mother trembled and whispered to me: "Your father is back, hurry up and put the money in your pocket, don't tell him that I gave you the money......"

Mom walked out of the bedroom while admonishing, and I turned around to see my dad coming back with a thermos mug in his hand.

I hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Dad, are you back?"

The moment he saw me, my dad's face was a little happy, but he soon looked at me with a hint of surprise, and then asked suspiciously, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

"You go ask my mom. I said with a sloppy look.

Dad frowned: "Your mother asked you to come back?"

"No, why did I come back, I already told my mother, don't we have a gap, you and my mother are easy to communicate. I said with a weak smile.

The reason why I didn't dare to tell my dad in person was because I was afraid that he would turn his face, because my dad didn't have a good temper.

Dad then looked at his busy mother in the kitchen, and his mother said succinctly: "He is ready to come back to work, and he will accompany us two people." ”

My father then looked at me with a straight face, and when I was about to speak, my mother said again: "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, and I'll talk about it later." ”

My mother helped me escape, and I let out a long breath and looked at my father with some fear, for fear that he would question the purpose of my return again.
