Zhao Tan left, Cen Ye took the familiar bus and drove home. He sat on this bus from childhood to adulthood, and he was very familiar with the scenery on both sides. In the past two years, Shenyang seems to have not changed much, unlike a few years ago, high-rise buildings and factories have popped up one after another. The city is also like his father and mother, gradually aging slowly.

This time, the division champion had a prize of 100,000 yuan, and they each shared 20,000 yuan. Cen Ye took half of it out yesterday and carried it in his arms. On the bus, it seemed that a few girls were secretly looking at him, and he was amused in his heart, thinking that maybe they were his fans. But it didn't bother. After arriving at the station, he jumped out of the car, carried his bag, and walked to his home at the end of the alley.

My parents lived in a dormitory, and the unit had long since collapsed, and my parents were laid off. So even if the city has changed with each passing day for decades, from a distance, this area still has an old and decaying atmosphere, and every household is like this.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Cen Ye took off his sunglasses and walked away without saying a word. Strangers passed by, and some old neighbors saw him, stunned for a moment, and said, "Is it Cen Ye? But the man was as enthusiastic as he had ever been, and said, "Hey, did you participate in a singing competition? My granddaughter saw you in the provincial station! What is the name of the Sunrise and Twilight Band, right? Hey, she said that you are a star now?"

Cen Ye smiled lightly: "I'm a bullshit star." After speaking, he ignored others and went straight home.

When I got closer, the first thing I saw was the familiar mottled gray wall, the low room. Layers of honeycomb coal are piled up at the door. There are also some air-dried meat and dried fish hanging from the beams. Despite its age, the door of the house was cleaned and a new couplet was pasted. Through the window pane, I vaguely saw a few people sitting inside, watching TV.

Cen Ye looked at it for a while, took a deep breath, filled his lungs with familiar cold air, and walked to the door, the door was ajar, he didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door in directly.

In the narrow living room, several people inside were stunned. My father sat on the bench in the middle, with a smile on his face, talking to his brother who was sitting next to him. Mother wasn't there, she was definitely busy in the kitchen. Sitting next to him was his sister-in-law Song Lanxue.

His father looked at him and did not speak. In the end, it was his brother Cen Zhi who spoke first, and he couldn't help laughing: "Why didn't Ono say hello in advance when he came back?" stood up and hugged him. Cen Ye also smiled and shouted, "Brother." Then he turned his head and shouted, "Sister-in-law." Song Lanxue smiled and nodded.

"It's back. Father's voice was still muffled.

Cen Ye: "Dad." ”

He nodded, a little smile on his face. Cen Ye's mood improved inexplicably, and he threw his bag on the stool and shouted, "Mom-Mom-"

He was greeted by the sound of hurried footsteps. Then I saw my wrinkled and gray-haired mother, who ran out with joy and sadness, and said the same thing as my brother: "You kid, why did you come back without saying hello!" Cen Ye let her hand stained with flour, touched her face, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you before, I will participate in the competition in Shenyang." It's just that I don't have time to come back in the middle. ”

"It's good to come back!" said the mother, happily, "go and take a bath, and I'll make dumplings for you to eat in the evening." ”

Cen Ye: "Okay. ”

Mother went to the kitchen again, Cen Ye picked up the bag and walked inside, Cen Zhi also followed up the room, watching him pour the mess in the bag on the bed.

Cen Zhi and his wife came back to live in a nearby hotel, so Cen Ye's room didn't move. Cen is 28 years old this year, and his appearance is similar to Cen Ye, but it is different. is also tall, but Cen Zhi is much stronger. The eyebrows are also delicate, but with Cen Zhi's height and body type, beauty becomes heroic. He was wearing a simple black down jacket and jeans, and he looked like a calm and introverted young man.

"How's the game?" Cen Zhi asked.

Cen Ye replied: "Champion." ”

"Yo. Cen Zhi smiled, "Really, I don't pay much attention to music, so I don't know, but your sister-in-law checked the Internet a few days ago and said that you are popular now." ”

Cen Ye: "Where is red, it's still far away." ”

"Where's the trophy? Cen Zhi said.

At the mention of this, Cen Ye smiled and said, "Not with me, with a friend." ”

"Such an important thing...... Cen Zhi also smiled, "Girlfriend?"

"It's not—" Cen Ye picked up a towel and a change of clothes pants, "I haven't caught up with my girlfriend yet." ”

"you. Cen Zhi got up and said, "I don't have a girlfriend, you borrowed 3,000 yuan from me last time, saying that it was for a girl? Mom and Dad can rest assured. ”

"Oh. By the way, brother, this championship has a bonus, and the money will be returned to you. Cen Ye took out three thousand yuan and handed it to him. Cen Zhi glanced at it, but didn't answer, and said, "Come on, what else is there." Brother doesn't have much money, and he has to be managed by your sister-in-law. But you can still get the money. It's as if I invested in you, and your winnings are kept for your own expenses. ”

Cen Ye's heart warmed, but he still stuffed the money into him and said, "Come on, I don't know you yet, and you and your sister-in-law also have a lot of expenses." I'm not short of money right now, and now many places invite me to perform, and there are a lot of tickets waiting for me. ”

Cen Zhi no longer shirked, took the money, and said, "It's best to see you on the right track." ”

Cen Ye replied: "I have always been on my own track. ”

At night, the family sat around eating hot dumplings, and Cen Ye felt that Song Lanxue on the other side seemed to smile more at him, and he didn't know if it was because he had repaid the money. A few times in the middle, when it came to the competition, my sister-in-law also helped me with a few words, saying that I was in a recession at work now, and that it might be more promising to do this, and said that Cen Ye already had a fan base and was about to become popular. Mother had been listening very attentively, and although there were many things she didn't understand at all, she could see that she was very happy. 's father never said anything, nor did he make any comments on Cen Ye's singing career. He only said to Cen Ye a few times: "Eat more." ”

As a result, as if to confirm my sister-in-law's words, halfway through dinner, a neighbor knocked on the door. It was the one who greeted Cen Ye on the road before, took his granddaughter, and carried a bag of fruit as a gift, and the teenage girl was shy and excited, and wanted Cen Ye's autograph.

The family looked at each other, Cen Ye didn't expect it, his heart was suddenly refreshed, thinking that he~ is still the best in his hometown. His face was still pale, he basically signed it skillfully, unceremoniously picked up a fruit to nibble, and generously took a photo with the little girl, and finally sent the person out, the family was still a little stunned, after all, there had never been any celebrities in this poor family. Cen Ye was very calm, and said, "What are you stunned about? Keep eating. ”
