Chapter 254: Another Home
Outside the window, it was getting dark, and suddenly there were snowflakes, and my dad and I were standing on the balcony smoking cigarettes.
"It's snowing, it's the first ......snow of the year," my dad coughed.
I glanced at my dad, he was obviously a lot older, and his back was a little hunched, in my memory my dad has always been a taciturn man, he loves to drink, he gets drunk and scolds, and often beats me, in fact, I don't have a good relationship with him, but at the moment our father and son are standing together and smoking.
"You learned to smoke in high school. My dad suddenly asked.
"Sophomore in high school. I replied.
"Little bunny. My dad suddenly scolded. “…… Smoke less, and when you're done smoking, you can go inside quickly, it's cold outside. My dad snuffed out his cigarette and turned and went inside.
In the past, my dad used to scold me, and the most scolded was the little rabbit, I hated this at the time, but today I heard it again but I didn't hate it.
"Buzz!" the phone in his pocket shook.
I pulled out my phone.
"Dongzi, what are you doing, I'll give you a New Year's greeting first, I'm going to have a seafood dinner in a while, hehe......" The video screen revealed Lin Chen's stunned face.
"Brother Dong, it's very cold at home, celebrate the New Year with my uncle and aunt for me. Gao Xiaoman snuggled up to Lin Chen's side and said with a smile.
"Have a great time, and give you New Year's greetings......," I replied.
After Lin Chen's New Year's greeting message, I received other New Year's greeting messages one after another, or WeChat, or text messages, and some people who usually don't interact much also sent group New Year's greeting text messages, and I also replied one by one, which seems to have become a must-have program for Chinese New Year's Eve every year.
Before the start of the Spring Festival Gala at eight o'clock, I made a special call to Uncle Wei.
“…… I'm fine, anything...... No, Molly invited me, I didn't go, it's good for me to watch TV at home, you don't have to worry about me, stay with your parents......"
Uncle Wei's tone on the phone was brisk, and my heart finally relaxed.
The familiar music sounded, the Spring Festival Gala began, I sat back on the sofa, and while munching melon seeds, I watched TV with my parents......
Before the Spring Festival Gala ended, my dad was already stunned, my mom insisted on cooking dumplings for us, and before the New Year's bell rang on TV, crackling firecrackers began to sound outside the house, and the sound of firecrackers close to zero was even more connected!
The whole town was boiling, with fires flashing everywhere, and the crackling sound of firecrackers seemed to shatter the snowflakes in the sky......
The sound of firecrackers lasted for more than half an hour before it gradually dissipated, and the TV began to sing unforgettable tonight, the new year has finally arrived!
I stayed at home until the sixth day of the new year, and at noon on the seventh day of the new year, I said goodbye to my parents, and I was going back to Jiangcheng.
"Pay attention to your body outside, eat on time every day, don't smoke all the time, give us a call when you have time, you don't have to worry about us when you have ...... at home," my mother nagged as she loaded things into my car.
"Enough Mom, I don't lack anything over there. "I put my arm around my mom's shoulder.
"I'm not at ease when you're out alone......" My mother's eyes suddenly turned red.
"It's not just going out, I'll take care of myself, and so are you, pay attention to your body. "I don't feel good either, I've never liked the feeling of separation.
"Bring your girlfriend back for us early. My dad muffled.
"Got it. I nodded.
"Drive slowly on the road. "My mom did the dressing for me.
I pulled the door open and got into the car.
The car started, and my parents stood outside the car and waved at me.
"I'm leaving. I smiled and started the car.
The car went far away, my parents didn't move, I looked at them from the rearview mirror, the figure of my parents became blurred, I squeezed my eyes, and my nose suddenly felt a little sour......
All the way to Jiangcheng, when I entered the city, it was just dark, looking at the familiar streets, bright street lights, my mood gradually brightened, in Jiangcheng for a long time, I have already regarded this place as another home!
I went straight back to the pharmacy and smelled an aroma as I walked in.
Uncle Wei was sitting in the living room, the table was full of dishes on the table, and a hot pot rack was burning on the stove.
"You're quite accurate!" Uncle Wei smiled when he saw me.
"For me?" I smiled as well.
"What do you say!" Uncle Wei rolled his eyes.
"Is there anyone else ......?" I was stunned.
"Dangdangdangdang......" There was a burst of laughter, and Lin Chen suddenly rushed out.
"Why are you there!" I was pleasantly surprised.
"Brother Dong, we came back in the morning, and I knew that you came back today, so I came here on purpose. Gao Xiaoman wore an apron and walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
"You kid has a good mouth, I brought back some good things. Lin Chen pointed at me and raised his hand: "There is also a bottle of good wine!"
The mood is completely released, there is wine and friends, and this year is complete!
"I said that you kid is not interesting enough, I actually came first to greet the New Year, I am older than you......" During the banquet, Lin Chen yelled at me with a red face.
"It's my fault. I raised my glass: "Punish yourself." ”
"One cup is enough, three glasses. Lin Chen slapped the table.
"Okay, it's not outside, what kind of wine. Gao Xiaoman grabbed Lin Chen.
"Who are you daughter-in-law, how do you turn your elbow outward. Lin Chen snorted.
"What's wrong!" Gao Xiaoman's eyes widened.
"Nothing, nothing. Li Chen immediately withered.
I watched it secretly funny, and I was also happy for Lin Chen and Gao Xiaoman, Lin Chen's performance showed that he really cared about Gao Xiaoman, it was not easy, a wild horse finally met its owner.
"I salute you two with a glass. I took advantage of the situation and raised my glass.
The four people who ate a hot pot feast were very happy, and after eating the hot pot, I personally sent Lin Chen and Gao Xiaoman out, and when I came back, Uncle Wei had already made tea.
"Xiao An, come over for tea. Uncle Wei sat on the sofa and waved at me.
"Master. I smiled and sat down.
"Something for you. After drinking two cups of tea, Uncle Wei suddenly spoke: "In a few days, it will be your master's death day, and I plan to take you back to my hometown to pay respects." ”
"My master?" I was stunned for a moment, Uncle Wei rarely mentioned my master to me.
"Yes. Uncle Wei nodded: "You are now my closed disciple, our door, our door......" Uncle Wei suddenly sighed.
"Master, Master Quanxia will not blame you if he knows, and you don't have to blame yourself. I followed and advised.
"Master is ashamed, your master passed the mantle to me, but I ......" Uncle Wei shook his head.
"Master, don't you still have me? I laughed.
"Yes, and you, you are the ninth generation descendant of my Wuji Gate, and maybe the only one. Uncle Wei's eyes suddenly stared at my face: "Xiao An......"
I could see very complicated emotions in Uncle Wei's eyes, Uncle Wei seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated for a long time but still didn't say it after all.
"Forget it, go to sleep. Uncle Wei suddenly put down the teacup and stood up, followed the back of his hand, and went upstairs without looking back.
I scratched my head, Uncle Wei's performance made me feel a little inexplicable.
