In this small mountain village surrounded by mountains, because the New Year has just passed and it is not yet the farming season, the dead grass in the fields can be seen everywhere, and it is swaying from side to side with the light wind. The afternoon sun fills the whole village, and after lunch, the villagers come out to bask in the sun, chat and enjoy the gifts of nature.

A teenager walked slowly from the field, this teenager is Ah Ming, like many adolescent boys, a little rebellious, full of yellow hair, once had a conflict with his parents because of hair dyeing, and after a while he reconciled as before. He put his hands in the pockets of his coat, which looked a little old, and it must have been a few years old, and he walked and stopped to look at the mountains in the distance, his face expressionless.

Amin, Amin, a middle-aged man shouted loudly, and this person was Amin's father, although he was only about fifty years old, he looked older than his actual age from the outside, his hair was a little gray, he was wearing an overcoat, he was sitting there basking in the sun, smoking the cheapest cigarette in the shop in the small mountain village, squinting his eyes and taking a puff, and then he spit out the cigarette.

Hearing the voice, Ah Ming looked back, stood there without moving, and then continued to look at the mountains in the distance, because he felt that on the other side of the mountains, there might be another world, the mountains, like a cage, enclosed their ancestors in this small mountain village for generations, living a life facing the loess with their backs to the sky, but Ah Ming wanted to escape from this cage and completely transform himself.

Armin put his hands out of his pockets, clasped them together, placed them on his chest, and made a wish.

Stinky boy, why are you still standing there, don't you hear me calling you? Seeing Amin standing still, his father got up from his chair and said angrily. Amin saw his father's face with a straight face, looking very serious, this is the rhythm of the coming storm, so he turned around and immediately ran towards his father.

Dad, what did you tell me to do, Ah Ming walked up to his father with a smile on his face. Seeing his father pointing at himself, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he snorted, and after putting down his hand, his face suddenly looked to the right, making a look of ignoring people.

Why are you still angry, I was thinking about something just now, and I was going to discuss it with you, Ah Ming turned his head and looked at his father's expression and said.

After saying that, Ah Ming's father sat on the chair and took out a cigarette from his pocket, Ah Ming quickly took out a lighter from his pocket to help his father light it, and then walked behind his father to help him rub his shoulder.

The thing I want to discuss with you is that I want to go to the big city to work, and Amin stopped rubbing his shoulders after speaking, waiting for his father's answer, but his father lowered his head and did not speak, as if time had stopped at this moment.

A long sigh from my father broke the silence and said softly: "Actually, you are not young anymore, you have your own ideals, and you should learn to be independent slowly, since you want to go to the big city to work, Dad will not stop you." At this time, there was a trace of sadness on his father's face, and Ah Ming felt that his father had a feeling of reluctance, since he was a child, he had never left his parents' sight, and went to work in a big city, just like the kite he had flown for 18 years suddenly broke the string.

Amin, what are you talking to your dad about? Amin's mother asked as she came out of the kitchen. The mother was still wearing a scarf, she should have just finished housework, holding a chair in her left hand and a cup of tea in her right hand.

After the mother sat down, she took a sip of tea, then put the teacup on the ground, crossed Erlang's legs, and stared at Ah Ming, waiting for Ah Ming's answer.

Ah Ming wanted to go to work in a big city, and his father, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and his father looked at his mother and wanted to hear her opinion.

The mother's expression was very calm, and she did not show that she was surprised to hear the news, as if she expected it, and said: "At that time, your father and I wanted to train you to be a college student, but it backfired, and your parents' ability was limited, and what achievements you can achieve in the future depends on your own creation."

Ah Ming had excellent grades in high school, but due to the failure of the college entrance examination, he missed the university, which also became a big regret for his parents, but Ah Ming wanted to go to the big city and break out of his own future.

Seeing that his parents were silent, in order to alleviate this situation, Amin bent down and put his left hand on his mother's shoulder, and his right hand on his father's shoulder, comforting: "Don't worry about me, studying is not the only way out, you have to believe me, even if you work, you can play a different future."

When are you going to go to the city to work, my mother asked, and my father glanced at my mother first, and then turned his gaze to Amin.

Tomorrow, these three words, Amin said very seriously, his eyes looking at the mountains, because tomorrow is about to break through the cage.

The father stood up and said to the mother, "Let's prepare a big dinner today, kill a chicken, and then go to the shop to buy some fish and meat." In normal times, the family rarely eats meat, and the fish is also caught by the father from the pond or the field, the pond is not far from Amin's house, and the main function is to store water in the rainy season, and it can irrigate the farmland in the dry season.

Amin, you can help your mother cook dinner together, and when you come back there will be a surprise, his father leaned into his ear and said. Then he turned around and walked towards the back room, and suddenly, a piercing rumbling sound sounded, my father had put on his helmet, rode on his old motorcycle, hung a gear with his feet, and added a little fuel to his hands, and the motorcycle ran out, and Amin stood outside and watched his father's back in the distance, and it was estimated that he was going to the town.

The mother also changed into a beautiful coat and walked out, patted her whole body, and after zipping it, she lowered her head and looked left and right, but this coat, my mother was never willing to wear it at home, and only wore it when she went out to buy things, walked the streets, or attended some important occasion, and saw Ah Ming look at herself stupidly and said: "What are you doing here, go to the chicken coop to catch a chicken and slaughter it, I will go to the store to buy some meat and come back."

There was an irresistible majesty in his mother's words, and Amin scratched his head, looking very innocent, and said, "Why don't I go buy meat, I also want to ask about the situation of the sea by the way."

After the mother stopped, she stuffed a ten-yuan bill into Ah Ming's hand and said, "That's fine, don't go too long, come back early, I'll leave the matter of slaughtering chickens to me, I know that you kid wants to be lazy."

After his mother saw through his thoughts, Ah Ming felt a little embarrassed, and quickly ran towards the store with the money.

Ah Ming and Dahai are neighbors who have played together since childhood, Dahai's family has opened the only shop in a small mountain village, the store is run by his parents, and he himself has been working in a big city for three or four years, and every time he comes back for the New Year, he will give a part of his savings to his parents, so the conditions of Dahai's family are relatively good in the small mountain village.

The mother of the sea wore one of the most popular coats of the year, black stockings and a pair of cotton boots, sitting in the door to bask in the sun, making people feel very fashionable. In this small mountain village, there is a market every half a month, that is, merchants from all over the world gather to set up stalls, and the mother of the sea is also very fond of going to the stalls to buy some such fashionable clothes, at the moment she is squinting against the wall, closing her eyes to recuperate.

Auntie, Auntie, Ah Ming hurriedly whispered twice, only to see her slowly open her eyes, then block the sun's rays with her hands, and stand up. Ah Ming walked towards the inside of the store as he spoke, the scale of the store is not very large, there is a loan rack on the left side of the door, there are some pens, notebooks and other stationery, there are some unopened goods stacked in the aisle between the counter and the shelf, and there are some snacks on the counter. On the right are some vegetable food, and Ah Ming walked towards the meat rack.

Ah Ming looked around the meat rack, and a big hook hooked more than ten catties of meat, half fat and half thin, looking quite fresh, and asked, "How much is this meat a catty?"

The goods that I just bought this morning were originally sold for nine yuan per catty, and you and the sea are good friends, and now they are sold to you for eight yuan a catty, and I picked up the kitchen knife hanging next to the shelf and said.

Then give me a catty, please cut the meat a little better, that is, half of the fat and half of the lean meat, Ah Ming stood next to him and said. Where does the sea work?

The aunt put the cut meat in a bag, then put it on the electronic scale, looked at Ah Ming and said: "I heard him say that he was in H City during the Chinese New Year, do you also want to go to H City to work?"

Ah Ming was silent for a while and said: "That's the only way, I plan to work with him, after all, the sea has been there for a few years, and I can take care of it after I go, oh, how much is this meat." By the way, Ah Ming also looked at the number on the electronic scale, which showed 9, so he took out 10 yuan and handed it over.

The aunt hurriedly pushed back Ah Ming's hand and said, "Forget it, I won't charge money for this meat, when the time comes, you will take care of each other together, you go to work together, I will be relieved, the sea is more naughty, and you are more stable." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, we will definitely take care of each other when we go to work together, but you still have to accept the money," Armin said and stuffed the money back.

Seeing that she couldn't put it off, the aunt had to go to the cabinet and open the drawer with the key, and took out one yuan and gave it to Ah Ming.

Night gradually envelops the whole mountain village, and occasionally a few small birds can be seen chirping across the sky, smoke rising everywhere, and the sound of dogs barking to break the silence of the small mountain village.

Mom, next time I don't know when I will be able to eat the food you cooked, Ah Ming stood by the stove and watched his mother stir-fry, and the heat in the pot evaporated, wafting all over the kitchen, and a smell of vegetables penetrated into the nostrils, feeling that the internal organs of the person were stretched.

You can come back at any time, Mom will cook you your favorite food at any time, Mother smiled at Ah Ming, and then continued to fry the dishes, Ah Ming felt the vegetables dancing in the spatula, performing a wonderful dance.

A rumbling sound sounded, the mother stopped stir-frying, and Ah Ming and the mother looked at each other for a while, and said, "It's Dad who is back." The mother then stir-fried her food, complaining, "I don't know what he did one afternoon." Ah Ming teased: "You have to worry, there may be goblins outside." The mother made a gesture to hit someone, and Amin ran outside with a puff of smoke.

As soon as he ran to the kitchen door, his father pushed the door in, and seeing this scene, Amin immediately stopped and leaned forward slightly, otherwise, the father and son might have collided together.

When he came in, the father put a fine box on the table and immediately ran to the stove to bake his hands, rubbing them incessantly.
