Xiao Qi threw away the eight-yuan pack of Hongtashan boxes that had been smoked in his hand, took out a pack of cigarettes worth more than 20 yuan, tore them open and stuffed them into his trouser pocket. Then he strode towards the fake position.

"Isn't this Xiao Qi?Why did you go home at this time, my aunt hasn't seen you for two years?"

It was Aunt Zhao from the same village who spoke, and her house was less than 100 meters away from Xiao Qi's house.

Xiao Qi took out a big apple from his bag, which he bought before getting on the train, and he didn't want to eat it.

"Come, Aunt Zhao, take it to Xiao Min to eat," Xiao Qi said with a smile.

Xiao Min is the granddaughter of Aunt Zhao, and when Xiao Qi came back two years ago, she had only learned to walk for a short time, and she was four years old now.

They are all acquaintances in the same village, and Aunt Zhao is not polite, after all, this is Xiao Qi's kindness, but Xiao Qi handed over the big apple and said to Xiao Qi with a smile.

"Okay, I have time to come to Aunt Zhao's house to play, you are a person who has come back from a big city, and you will give Xiaomin the things in the city"

"Okay, Aunt Zhao is busy, I'll go home and see my parents first," Xiao Qi said as he zipped the bag in his hand.

"Go back, or you won't be able to make it to your parents' lunch." Your parents often think of you, saying that you came back for the Chinese New Year this year, but I didn't expect you to come back now, and your parents may be shocked when they see it. ”

Xiao waved his hand, didn't answer again, and walked in the direction of his house.

I haven't been home for two years, and there seems to be no change except that the walls of my house have been eroded by the rain and darkened. This house was built by my parents who worked in other places for more than ten years when I was just in college.

In the yard, next to the gate, the walnut tree planted two years ago has been as tall as the two of them, it seems that the parents have been carefully taken care of in the past two years, and the parents often talk about the walnut tree on the phone, saying that it will not take long to hang fruit, and when the time comes, the fruit will be eaten for themselves and replenish the brain.

Xiao Qi thought of this, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, his brain can really be supplemented. Otherwise, if I had applied for a better university, perhaps, it would not be like this now.

Before he entered the door, Xiao Qi heard his father's voice,

"Suqin, is the garlic peeled, the pot is going to burn out"

"Okay, okay, you won't put less firewood" This voice is weaker, it is my mother's voice.

It's the first time in two years that I've listened to my parents so closely, and it's so good.

In fact, Xiao's mother's income is better, but in Xiao's father's words, Xiao's mother is playing skills, and she can't show it casually, so every year during the New Year's festival is Xiao's mother Zhang Luo, and the kitchen is Xiao's father's world on weekdays, even Xiao's mother can only give him a hand, peeling garlic and the like.

Rural areas are not like cities, where people are not closed when there are people at home, and there is no need to be as open as in the city.

Xiao Qi went directly to the door and put his things in the living room, walked through the corridor three or four meters long, and stood on the edge of the kitchen, but did not let his parents see him.

"Tell me about you, if you can't do it well, you have to cook, so if you can't eat it yourself, let me eat," Xiao's mother teased.

"I have to set an example for Xiao Qi, I have to be like this when I get married in the future, my daughter-in-law is hurting, and we men can do it ourselves. Father Xiao pretended to be angry.

"I just don't know if Xiao Qi has a girlfriend, he doesn't tell us when he calls on weekdays, and he asked him when he called a few days ago, and he just said let's not worry about it, he knows it. ”

"Suqin, don't worry, just remember the man's own affairs. Father Xiao said.

"Our son will be twenty-three years old after graduating from college on June 15, 2014, and he will be twenty-eight in October this year, others

The children of the family are all in elementary school, and our son has not made a sound, who do you say is not Xiao Qi, this child is not in appreciation, go back to us

Or give him Zhang Luo Luo. Xiao Mu said as if suggesting. After all, at home, big things are still subject to Xiao's father's opinion.

The little copy wanted to say that the man's affairs were his own, but he unexpectedly didn't say so, just nodded and answered in a deep voice

"Good. ”

Xiao Qi's eyes couldn't help but be sour, and he felt sorry for his parents, and the two parents were at home, and they were talking about themselves.

Xiao Qi rubbed his somewhat moist and red eyes, and called softly: "Dad, Mom"

Hearing someone's voice, Xiao's mother didn't realize that it was her son, and she didn't have the idea to call her two parents, so she sat up from the small stool on the edge of the firewood stove, thinking it was a neighbor.

Xiao Qi walked into the kitchen, his tall and thin figure blocking the kitchen door from the light. Xiao's mother didn't see Xiao Qi's face clearly for a while, but she also felt that the figure of the person who came was very familiar.

Xiao Qi shouted again at this time, "Mom, it's me, I'm back"

Xiao's mother was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe it, and took two steps closer before she saw Xiao Qi's face clearly, and immediately laughed excitedly, took Xiao Qi's hand and walked into the kitchen, shouting as she walked: "His father, his son is back, Xiao Qi is back"

"I heard it, why are you yelling so loudly," Father Xiao pretended to be indifferent, and picked up vegetables on Xiao's back, but did not turn around, and no one saw it again, the joy on his face that could not be concealed just now.

"Dad, I'm back," Xiao Qi said as he pulled his mother over to his father's side.

"Well, it's good to come back, you go up and change your clothes first, don't get your clothes dirty, and then heat up a bottle of wine, I'll finish this dish, let's have a few drinks in a while"

Xiao nodded and immediately went upstairs to change clothes.

"Dad, is there something wrong with my son, otherwise why would he come back at this time, you can ask later, what's the matter, come home, let's solve it together" Xiao's mother looked worried and said worriedly.

"Now that the child is back, let's settle everything for him" Xiao's father patted Xiao's mother's hand and comforted her heart.

Xiao Qi naturally didn't know that his parents were in the kitchen to do big things.

The child is a piece of flesh in the mother's body, and it is the brainchild of the parents. It was very easy for their parents to notice that something was wrong with them.

Xiao's parents knew their son's preferences, Xiao Qi liked to be quiet, so they built a bedroom for Xiao Qi on the second floor alone.

Xiao Qi pushed open the door of his bedroom, the floor tiles were still shiny, and there was no dust in the bedside table and wardrobe, so he knew that his mother had cleaned and wiped it regularly.

When I opened the wardrobe, some of the clothes I hadn't worn for a long time, and even the clothes I had from college, were still there, clean and without any smell. Seeing this, Xiao Qi's apology to his parents became even stronger.
