Chapter 59: Homecoming
When he was about to arrive at the station, Chen Xiaohe received a call from his sister Tan Tian again, saying that he wanted to come to pick up the station with Pan Long.
Tan Tian and his wife were willing to leave their two babies behind to pick up the station at night, and Chen Xiaohe was very grateful. originally wanted to take a taxi by himself, but Tan Tian's enthusiasm made Chen Xiaohe very pleased, after all, she was her own sister.
Originally, Su Fa was also afraid that it would be unsafe for Chen Xiaohe to take a taxi in a small city at night, but Chen Xiaohe didn't think so, what else could he have in his hometown.
Su Fa is a victim of paranoia, and he always thinks too much about everything that is out of his control.
Now that his sister came to pick up the station, Chen Xiaohe was a lot more relieved, and he also explained it to Su Fa, which saved him from worrying.
The small city where my hometown is located is a north-south trunk city, and a new North Railway Station has been opened this year, which is only about ten minutes' drive from Tan Tiancheng's home, and it is also very convenient for Tan Tian and them to come over.
As soon as Chen Xiaohe got off the train, he felt the taste of the metropolis, and the new train station was great. When I arrived at the ticket gate, I saw my brother-in-law Pan Long, wearing a simple overalls, Tan Tian went to the exit on the other side, and when she saw that she received it here, she also hurriedly ran over.
Tan Tian was dressed neatly, with a white shirt with strappy jeans and sports shoes, and he looked very good and refreshing.
Chen Xiaohe found that Tan Tian was a lot stronger, no longer as thin as when he was young, but he was more beautiful and temperamental than before, and he seemed to be full of confidence from the outside to the inside.
Chen Xiaohe picked up Tan Tian in the past, although the two sisters had not seen each other for a long time, they did not seem to affect each other's acquaintance at all.
Walking next to Tan Tianjia's car, Chen Xiaohe found that it was a domestic SUV with a very large space, even much larger than Chen Xiaohe's car.
However, the supporting facilities are still not perfect, there are not a few cars in total, and it took nearly 20 minutes to get out of the parking lot, and the speed of the toll collector is not much faster than that of a snail.
Chen Xiaohe was afraid that the parking fee would be very expensive, but in the end he only charged 3 yuan, which is simply more than the price of cabbage.
Out of the railway station, turn onto the newly opened four-lane national highway, which is wide and atmospheric, and then connect with seven or eight downhill tunnels, the tunnel is both bright and dazzling, and the light is brighter than day, although it is night, it does not affect the perception at all.
In the past few years, the development of her hometown has changed with each passing day, which is really beyond Chen Xiaohe's imagination, she remembers that when she went to college, she would often go home, and her family would never see changes, as if it was in a static state.
I was really surprised to experience it myself. This road is even better than that of the big city, and everywhere is brand new. The restaurants outside the street are lined up and brightly lit, all of which stimulate Chen Xiaohe's appetite and nerves.
Pan Long and Tan Tian chattered all the way to the eldest sister to introduce the new changes in the town.
"Sister, you see how fast we are developing, how good it would be if you could come back. Tan Tian couldn't help but persuade.
Similar words, since Chen Xiaohe just graduated, he has listened to Tan Tian and his parents countless times. Yes, how good it is to be able to come back and get together with relatives, why did you settle down in a big city in a daze? Chen Xiaohe himself is a little confused.
How many times did Chen Xiaohe miss every grass and tree in his hometown, the path in front of his door, the wildflowers on the mountain, the food in his hometown, and the quiet and calm of his pastoral home.
Chen Xiaohe always felt that she had never integrated into the life of the big city, she missed the life of the small mountain village, but after reading so many books, it seemed that she was destined to stay in the big city, so she took root day by day, and it was extremely difficult to get out again.
It takes forty or fifty minutes to drive from the train station to Yu Mei's hospital, which is the farthest distance from the north of the city to the south of the city. Moreover, there is a long village between the north and south of the city, so it is very far to go to the south of the city.
Chen Xiaohe still remembers that when Tan Tian first bought a house, the north of the city where they lived belonged to a new development zone, and the thieves were desolate. Now ten years have passed, the development zone has become the sub-center of the small city, logistics parks, high-speed rail stations, high-tech enterprises have settled here, Tan Tian and Pan Long are also very lucky, the house was bought early, the location is good, the house bought by paying tens of thousands of yuan is now worth seven or eight hundred thousand.
The two got married early, although Tan Tian is five years younger than Chen Xiaohe, the children are older than Chen Xiaohe's family, and the younger one will go to primary school next year. Therefore, the two of them can be regarded as having passed the first stage of the hardest life in marriage and family life.
On the way, in addition to chatting about the road, Chen Xiaohe and Tan Tian talked more about their relatives, their mother's condition, their grandfather's condition, their brother's work, and each other's children.
Chen Xiaohe called Su Fa to report his safety, and the two of them greeted Chen Xiaohe with a giggle over there, and it could be seen that they were managed by their father and were also in good order, and Su Fa also sent a small poem compiled by Ah Jun:
Tablet
Brother's paradise
Brother's favorite
Play games, watch movies
All of them on the tablet
Little brother really loves to play
I didn't play it anymore
As soon as she gave him it, he cried
Passwords always ask others to lose
I can't remember it myself
No one helped and cried urgently
The tablet is really my brother's life
After reading this limerick poem, Chen Xiaohe said that it was in line with the current situation, and shared it with Tan Tian, who was also amused.
"Wow, Ah Jun is really a strange kid with a clear brain, our kid can't think of such words!" Tan Tian said with a smile.
In a joke, the hospital arrived.
Chen Xiaohe's heart that had been hanging fell back into his stomach after seeing his mother for the first time.
No amount of missing is worth a meeting, even if it is only one glance, it is so shocking.
I haven't seen each other for two years, but my mother has lost weight, and she can see some withered like a tree.
The injured right leg stretched forward in a daze, complaining about its hard work, and it also comprehensively restricted Yu Mei's excessive initiative.
The first thing Yu Mei did was to urinate.
A new patient came to the bed next to Yu Mei, exactly the same as the place where Yu Mei was injured, but his identity was a part-time worker on the construction site.
Chen Xiaohe hurriedly went over to tighten the curtain, Pan Long went out to avoid, and the two sisters urinated on Yu Mei's flat toilet together.
"Oh, this time it's thanks to Xiaotian and Pan Long, Chen Xiaolu also said, this has to be two, otherwise the parents will be hospitalized, and there will be no one to discuss. ”
Chen Xiaohe didn't know why he was in a different mood when he heard this, maybe after having a baby, he experienced more things, and his views on things changed.
