This story is purely fictional, and any plot similarities are purely coincidental, but please forgive me and will not tell them in person.

Yinglong could never have imagined that he would be born in such a place, in such a strange season.

The adult Yinglong sat by the riverside, looking at the slowly flowing river, holding a cigarette and puffing out the smoke ring.

After years of struggle, he can't help but recall the situation back then.

How he left Ben City, went somewhere, and then came back here.

What he experienced in the middle, and what has become now, but where is the thing he has been looking forward to, he is a little disappointed and disappointed, and helplessly looks at the constantly flowing river, rolling in front of him.

And all the things he went through, after several tosses and turns, worked this land, and finally what he got something.

A grassroots, although determined to struggle, but the process is so arduous.

He wiped the corners of his eyes, twitched his nose, and his eyes were a little damp, "Alas, look at this wind, I'm about to cry!"

Yinglong complained silently, stood up and scattered along the riverside scenery, but his mind fell into a reverie.

With reminiscences, he travels back to the seventies.

In April, the sky of the coastal city floats in the restless air.

In the early morning, the sun rose from the blurred horizon, and fell into the clouds until mid-air, like a shy woman, holding a lute and half-covering her face, but after a while, it fell intermittent rain.

In the cauliflower fields in the suburbs, dragonflies and butterflies dodging the rain are flying around from time to time, trying to find a safe place to live.

In the obstetrics and gynecology department of Bincheng Hospital, a pregnant woman was sent early in the morning, and as soon as she entered the hospital, she whispered that the fetus in her womb was about to be born.

After some struggle, as the nurses washed the baby off the fetal fat and blood, the boy cried quietly, as if to announce his arrival to the people, even though he was only an insignificant little being.

Yingnan stood in a simple hospital room, guarding Milan, who had just given birth to a child. Milan seemed to be in pain, looking very weak, with her newborn child by her side.

Yingnan looked restless, walked a few steps outside the door to smoke, and only when the cigarette was about to burn his fingers did he throw away the cigarette butt and paced into the ward, helplessly looking at Milan on the hospital bed.

It took a long time for Milan to come to her senses, and the nurse carried the baby to Milan and put her in her arms to feed. The child's eyes are closed, and his little mouth is "ba-da" sucking the mother's milk, as if he has been hungry for a long time, and he can only have a full meal at this time.

Milan looked weak and silently breastfed her child.

Yingnan lowered her head, came to Milan's side, and asked in a low voice, "Milan, what should you name your child?"

Milan saw that although her husband usually doesn't manage family affairs, he still cares about the existence of the child at the moment, so she whispered: "Yingnan, what do you think is the best name?"

Yingnan is still a man with ideas, he thought about it for a while, and had an idea for a moment.

"This year is the Year of the Dragon, so why don't we call it Yinglong! ”

Milan nodded effortlessly: "Okay, just call him Yinglong, it sounds pretty good." ”

A smile appeared on Yingnan's old and serious face, "Okay, just call him Yinglong, this name is also full of atmosphere, I think it's not bad!"

Yingnan is a cadre of an agency in Bincheng, his status is not high, his life is very poor, and he has three children at home, the birth of Xiao Yinglong obviously makes Yingnan feel anxious, how to plan his life in the future.

The area of Bincheng is not large, but since ancient times, because it is located in the golden waters, it has always been a commercial port with developed trade, and goods from all over the world used to be distributed and circulated here.

However, with the change of the times, the economy of Ben Cheng gradually declined, and it became a small city in decline.

However, after the passage of time, modern factories were built here, and in the days that followed, a large number of people from other places poured into Bincheng, and people often heard half-understood foreign accents on the streets, but the people here still quickly accepted the integration of outsiders.

Perhaps because it was a commercial port with developed trade in the early years, people's concepts were not so conservative, and they were still very receptive to the integration of foreigners.

At midnight, people lay in bed and could hear the rumbling of a train in the distance, the rhythmic sound of which accompanied them to sleep.

Milan was a labor force that moved from the northeast to join the construction of Ben City.

Although she is from the Northeast, she has the fair complexion of a Jiangnan woman, and her appearance is clear and beautiful.

She and her husband Yingnan's family live in a small two-bedroom building.

Yinglong's birth added a lot of trouble to the family, after all, there were six people, the house was too small, and the weather was sweltering, making the already crowded family look embarrassed.

But the birth of Yinglong is a big event after all, and the busyness inside and out makes everyone forget their troubles for a while.

In order to keep Xiao Yinglong nutritious, Yingnan specially bought a tube of milk powder that is in demand nowadays. cause

Because of the scarcity of materials in this era, Yingnan still bought it by trust.

Because of the constraints, Yingnan's frowning brows are even more like knife carvings, and the nasolabial folds on her face are also visible

It's even more obvious.

It is not easy to support a family of six, but life still has to go on.

But in this era when everyone is not rich, it is not easy to make babies drink milk powder.

"Yingnan, come and hug the child, don't hide there and smoke!"

Milan, who was discharged from the hospital, was packing up her children's clothes in her room, while impatiently calling for her husband to come and help.

Yingnan hurriedly threw down the cigarette butt and ran into the room to pick up the crying little Yinglong from the bed.

Yinglong is stubbornly growing up in this changeable era, full of curiosity about the unknown world and thirst for life, stubbornly and tenaciously absorbing not rich nutrients, stretching his little arms and calves every day and crying loudly to announce his existence to the world.

Even his father, Yingnan, felt that since he had come, he had to go back to this world, otherwise where would he find a "way back"?

Time is slowly passing, and people are unconsciously passing day after day, and they don't even feel that there is any change in the world, if it is not for hearing about national events on the radio, they do not feel that the world is changing dramatically every day.

Mi Jing is Milan's younger sister, and she looks a little like her sister, but she is a little taller than Milan, but her skin is a little dark.

Mi Qing came to Ben Cheng with her sister in her early years.

She was a little reluctant to see her sister's family's predicament, but she was only single, and her income was not as good as Milan's, so she was helpless against her sister's family's predicament.

But every weekend, I come to my sister's house to help her take care of the children and take care of some housework.

Mi Jing is not satisfied with her work and life in Bencheng, and she misses the life of her hometown in Northeast China. that

There is no noisy environment of this small town, and the big cities in the northeast are relatively prosperous, far beyond the imagination of people here.

One day, Mi Jing came to her sister's house and saw Xiao Yinglong lying on the bed crying, Yinglong was almost two years old at this time.

And Milan hurriedly took a wet towel to Yinglong's young sister Yingzhu to wipe her body.

Yingzhu was born only a year before Yinglong, just turning three years old.

Mi Qing found that Young-joo was covered in a red rash and sobbed weakly.

Mi Jing said to her sister in surprise, "Yingzhu, what's wrong?"

Milan was so anxious that she was about to cry: "I don't know, I was like this yesterday, I was dying, and Yingnan is not here!"

"Let's go to the hospital and have a look!" After Mi Jing finished speaking, she picked up Yinglong on the small bed and asked her sister to take Yingzhu to the hospital.

The hospital was a little crowded, and the corridors were filled with the sound of children crying from time to time, and there were many people who came to see the doctor.

Milan walked out with a brow on his brow after taking Yingzhu to see the doctor.

Mi Jing asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Yingzhu?"

Milan had a heavy heart: "Don't mention it, you have to get an injection, and you have to do it for a few days in a row." ”

"What about Yinglong?"

Mi Jing was anxious.

"Well, I don't know either. ”

Milan sighed deeply.

After saying that, Milan and Mi Jing took Yingzhu and Yinglong to get a drip.

They left the hospital a few hours later.

After dinner, Mi Jing said to her sister and brother-in-law: "I said it's better to be like this, sister, brother-in-law, Yingzhu is sick, you are really too busy, and the family is so nervous, for the sake of Yinglong, I will take him back to his hometown to live for a few years, okay? ”

"How's that going to happen? Yinglong is still young! only two years old. ”

Milan was in a hurry.

Yingnan was silent for a while after hearing this, and said slowly: "Milan, you have to think about Yinglong, what if Yinglong is also sick? Besides, the family is so nervous, who will take care of them in the future?"

Milan retorted: "This is too far away, and Yinglong is only more than two years old!"

Yingnan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and sighed helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing! How can you take care of four children in the family at the same time!"

Yingnan felt that someone was helping to take care of a child at this time, which was just a good way to reduce the burden, and Mi Qing's idea was not impossible.

Milan looked at the other two children who were doing their homework under the light, Yinglong's brother Yinghong and sister Yingyun, and bitter tears flowed from their eyes.

She hung her head, a few strands of tousled hair on her thin face.

In such an embarrassing situation, she had to bow her stubborn head.

Mi Jing whispered: "Sister, that's it, anyway, Yinglong will be almost three years old soon, and he can go to kindergarten by then." ”

Milan sobbed under his breath.

Yingnan glanced at the two of them, turned their heads away, and remained silent, but the heavy reality forced them to choose to give in.

In the northbound train, Mi Yan held the sleeping Yinglong and stared blankly at the field outside the window, and the radio in the carriage was playing the conductor's patient explanation.

Mi Jing is like an arrow at the moment, and now she can go home, and with Yinglong, she can also let her

Parents take a look at this little grandson.

Just let Yinglong's grandmother and grandfather help bring it, so that Milan and Yingnan will not be so tired.

Mi Jing hugged Yinglong and looked at the field flashing outside the window, and the little Yinglong in his arms was pouting and sleeping soundly in a daze.

He was still immersed in sleep, and he didn't know what was waiting for him when he was thousands of miles away.

Before he could fully figure out the hot land he had just arrived, he immediately rushed to another faraway place, where what would happen to him?

Xiao Yinglong still can't understand the outside world at all, and he can't know the many sorrows in the world.

And he is now sent thousands of miles away to the northeast land, where how will he spend his childhood?
