Chapter 567: There is a soul in the hearts of the family
Bidding farewell to the last old classmate, Qiao Nan's family of three continued to march towards Hong Kong City. In the car, Wen Jing looked at the photos they took along the way, and suddenly felt guilty: "If our son sees these photos, will he blame us?
"Then I'll take him to play in Beijing, but I didn't bring my sister! Don't worry, I've already thought about it, when you get to Hong Kong City, you and your daughter will rest at home, and I'll take the commander out to play. Now is the time for him to be disgusted, take him out and get into trouble, you will definitely not be able to catch up with him, so leave it to me!"
Wen Jing nodded silently, thinking to herself, he thought so thoughtfully about everything, there was nothing to question at all.
They drove to the port city at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was snowing again. The more they returned to their hearts, the more congested the road became. Maybe it's because she's been stuffy in the car for too long, and Xiao Mulan, who has performed very well all the way, gets anxious, crying in the seat, and Wen Jing can't be appeased.
Since she was born, she has never made such a big fuss, Qiao Nan had no choice but to drive the car into a gas station with great difficulty, so that the child could get out of the car to breathe.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, Xiao Mulan gradually calmed down, but still resisted to take the car, and as soon as she was stuffed into the car, she cried with a sharp voice. Wen Jing said helplessly: "So, when you go out with your child, you really can't predict what will happen." ”
"Now you know, right? Fortunately, I didn't bring Qiao Bowen with me. If he messes with it again, I guess I won't be able to get home after my vacation is over. ”
Qiao Nan walked back and forth with her daughter in her arms, and said: "It's also strange, it's been two hours on the highway, and I haven't seen her make trouble, why is it almost home, but it's making trouble?"
The child could not speak, and after about ten minutes, he was tired of crying and fell asleep on his father's shoulder. The couple was afraid that they would wake her up again, so they simply changed positions, Wen Jing drove, and Qiao Nan sat in the back seat with her daughter in her arms.
After all these twists and turns, they set out on their journey home again. After about another twenty minutes, they came to a tunnel where several traffic policemen were directing traffic. Only then did the two find out that the road was slippery in the snow, and a serious car accident had occurred in the tunnel, and the scene was quite tragic. Qiao Nan subconsciously turned his head, and couldn't bear to watch this human tragedy on this festive day.
Although the traffic situation was complicated, Wen Jing drove very steadily and drove to her destination without hurry. When they entered the compound, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. It was snowing heavily, and every family was keeping watch in their own homes, and there was almost no one outside. They finally found a temporary parking space, and as soon as they got out of the car, Wen Jing squinted her eyes and pointed forward: "Hey, is that our son?"
Qiao Nan looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw several figures. A long-haired adult, wearing a long down jacket, leading a puppy, leaning on the slide and swiping his mobile phone, chatting with another adult, and three children building a snowman, noisy and noisy.
Qiao Nan could see at a glance that the adult holding the dog was Qiao Lin, and among the three children, the tall one was his son, and the other two little boys were wearing the same clothes, and it could almost be concluded that they were twins.
He was not mistaken, there were indeed Jolene and Jo Bowen, as well as Min Jia and her twin sons. Qiao Nan handed his daughter to his wife, walked quickly to the playground, and shouted excitedly: "Qiao Bowen!"
Qiao Bowen turned back suddenly, but he didn't run to his father immediately. Qiao Nan was very worried, thinking that this little ghost was still holding grudges, who knew that after staying for two or three seconds, Qiao Bowen suddenly jumped up and shouted: "My father! This is my father!
Qiao Nan hugged him, and the two younger sisters also greeted him eagerly, Min Jia looked up and down, and was pleasantly surprised: "Brother! Sure enough, it's you, you're back!"
"Well, I'm back! I haven't seen you for several years, but Min Jia is still so beautiful!"
Min Jia smiled shyly: "After having a child, I don't have time to clean up myself, it's not good-looking at all...... Brother, you and your son really have a heart-to-heart, he said you can get there today, but you really arrived!"
Qiao Nan told his family last night that for the sake of insurance, it is better to drive slowly, and he can drive to his home on the morning of the first day of the new year. His parents didn't urge him at all, but told him to drive slowly, the snow was falling, the weather was freezing, and he didn't have an accident during the festival.
Qiao Nan agreed, but when he hung up the phone, he was very proud - his parents were all kept in the dark, and he would definitely be able to rush back on Chinese New Year's Eve and give them a big surprise.
In this way, the whole family thought that Qiao Nan would arrive in the morning, but on Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao Bowen said that his father would definitely arrive. The family only thought of him as longing for him, and did not go to his heart. Who knew that in the evening, the adults were preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but Qiao Bowen was clamoring to go downstairs to build a snowman. Li Lanzhi was worried that he would freeze him and wouldn't let him go down, but he stubbornly said, "What if I wait, my parents will come?"
He was going out to play, and the two little cousins couldn't sit still, and they were going downstairs to build a snowman, so Jolene and Min Jia had to watch them. I was going to let them let go of the wind and go back to eat, but I didn't expect that Qiao Nan's family would really come back.
Several years have passed, and this little episode is still circulating in Qiao's house, but Qiao Bowen really can't find the answer, he just waited downstairs by feeling. Probably there is some kind of telepathy between family members, and even a small child has the ability to predict the unknown.
That day, Qiao Nan asked his son to knock on the door first, and after shouting "grandpa" several times, Lao Qiao opened the door. However, the first thing he saw was not his little grandson, who was not as tall as his legs, but a young man who was even more burly than him, and he was stunned for a moment.
The young man was wearing a black down jacket, his hair was trimmed short, and snowflakes were falling on his clothes. It seems that time has gone back to 2006, and on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, he was also dressed like this, falling from the sky and returning home. In his memory, it was the last time he spent the New Year at home.
Qiao Bowen had already jumped into the house, and Old Qiao blinked, his lips squirmed for a long time, and he didn't know what to say. Qiao Nan smiled: "Dad, won't you let your son enter the house?"
Only then did Lao Qiao react and slammed him several times: "You stinky boy, you played your dad around, and you actually came back......"
"Okay, Dad, don't beat me up in front of my wife and children!"
Lao Qiao wiped away his tears and shouted at the house: "Lao Li, who do you see coming?"
There was no need for him to shout at all, Li Lanzhi heard the movement and came out early in the morning. Like her husband, she froze in place. Qiao Nan strode forward and hugged her eagerly: "Mom, your son is back! Don't cry, this is a great event!"
It's been eleven years, and I'm finally going home for the New Year. Eleven years ago, he was a young man who had not graduated, and eleven years later, he was already a mature soldier with many achievements. He returned home on crutches on his own, and this time he was already a father of two.
This was the first time he had returned to his new house, and the cramped and cramped home he remembered had become the "North House" in his family's mouth. The city has changed a lot, and he needs time to explore.
It's not easy, it's not easy! Old Joe was carried away by great joy, and there were only three words left in his mind, and he couldn't think of anything else. Li Lanzhi was thoughtful, and hurriedly sent Qiao Lin to ask the community security guard to clarify, otherwise the parking fee would be a lot of money this night.
Lao Qiao came back to his senses and said: "I watched the news in the afternoon, and I heard that there was a car accident in the Qishan Tunnel, which was quite serious, and I told your mother, fortunately, you didn't go there today, or it wouldn't be too dangerous! Fortunately, you came back safely." ”
Wen Jing was in a trance, if Xiao Mulan didn't cry, they would drive normally, maybe they would pass through the tunnel at the time of the car accident. She shuddered and asked her husband softly, "Where did we park our car?"
"Not far after the toll booth, I remember calling it the Ma family, but now it's all changed, right? I used to have to go back to my hometown, but now I don't even recognize it. ”
Wen Jing didn't say anything more, but she couldn't sleep at night. Qiao Nan asked her if she was too excited, she got into her husband's arms and said, "You probably don't remember it for a long time, my mother...... It is buried near Ma's house, across the village, across a river, and it is the Nanshan Cemetery......"
