The days in the provincial capital passed quickly, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.

However, the house was only half renovated.

According to the progress agreed before, the boss promised that the house would be renovated for Dongmei and Wang Xue'e for a month, but at the moment, it still has to be delayed for a month.

It turned out that Lao Wang not only contracted the decoration of Dongmei and Wang Xue'e's house, but also contracted the decoration of many houses.

Every day he is like a guerrilla, one family does a little and that one does a little, so the whole construction period is prolonged.

At this time, the provincial capital has entered a cold winter.

Wei Guo also returned from winter break.

The first thing Wei Guo did when he came down from the mountain was to come to the provincial capital.

He not only visited Dongmei, but also looked at the progress of the renovation of the house.

Although the decoration of the house is not satisfactory, Wei Guo is still very satisfied when he sees that Dongmei is in good condition.

Dongmei saw that Wei Guo had come back from winter break, and hurriedly invited him into her guard room.

After Wei Guo followed Dongmei into the guard house, he looked at Dongmei in surprise and said, "I asked you to watch the decoration of the house in the provincial capital, and you found a job yourself?"

Dongmei shook her head mysteriously and said, "I'm not three-headed and six-armed, I have to supervise the decoration and do the work, how can I be busy?"

Wei Guo looked at Dongmei in confusion and said, "You didn't live in the guest house I rented for you?"

Dongmei couldn't bear to let Wei Guo continue to guess, she told Wei Guo that she was here, and accidentally ran into Sister Liu, who arranged for her to live here.

Wei Guo didn't expect that Dongmei would be able to meet here, a person who has been looking for him for 20 years.

Wei Guo is very emotional, although the world is small, but fate is very wonderful.

Wei Guo, who came back from the mountains, also misses children.

He told Dongmei, saying, "Dongmei, since we are both in the provincial capital, why don't we call the two children over, and let's gather in the provincial capital." ”

Dongmei thought about it, Nana is in Weiyang Lake, which is about half an hour's drive from here, so it is convenient to come over.

And Taotao is in the southernmost suburbs, and it is an hour and a half away by car, although it is a bit far, but there is no problem to come.

So, Dongmei called and told the two children to come and get together.

Tao Tao knew that his family had bought a house in the northern suburbs of the provincial capital, but he didn't know where it was.

When he heard that his parents were in the provincial capital and were ready to gather as a family, he happily got on the 323 bus and set off from school.

Tao Tao once thought that after he graduated, if he stayed in the provincial capital to work, then he would just rent a ten-square-meter house in an urban village.

He never even thought that his family would move to the provincial capital, let alone that he would change from a person from a small county town to a person from a provincial town.

At the beginning, when Taotao came to the provincial capital from a small county town to go to college, he was particularly envious of the children in the provincial capital.

Tao Tao felt that they were simply the pride of the sky, and he was just an ugly duckling from a small county town.

But now, I also have a home in the provincial capital, and I will soon become a provincial citizen.

In his heart, he will not be able to accept such a beautiful reality for a while.

Tao Tao has always been a particularly inferior person, and he even feels that he can't integrate into the prosperity of the provincial capital, just because he feels that he doesn't have the style of a city person.

After Taotao took the bus for an hour and a half, he finally arrived at the stop of Youjiazhuang.

When Taotao got off the bus, Wei Guo had already walked over from not far away.

Wei Guo shouted from afar: "Taotao, Taotao......"

Tao Tao saw his father coming from the road not far away, and he said excitedly, "Dad, you came down from the mountain?"

Wei Guo stepped forward, patted Taotao on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, I'm a senior this year, and I obviously look much more mature." ”

Tao Tao smiled shyly and said, "It's my senior year, and I will graduate in one semester." ”

After speaking, Tao Tao looked at his father's smiling appearance, and suddenly thought of more than ten years ago, when he was drilling the second base in Longdong, his father also crossed the road like this, shouted his name, and ran over.

Father's smile has not changed at all, his every move has not changed in the slightest, the only change is that Dad is indeed old, and he has really changed from a young and promising father to a father with white hair.

In the late eighties and early nineties, Wei Guo and his family lived on the other side of the river at the second base in Longdong, a place called Team 8.

Since Team No. 8 is just a zero-hour lodging point, there is no school, no canteen, and even no public facilities.

Tao Tao was only six and a half years old at the time, and he went to preschool.

He had to take a bus from Team 8 every day, and after an hour, he could get to the school at the Drill 2 base.

Suddenly, one day, when the whole family might have to move from Team 8 to the second base of drilling, Dongmei told Taotao that after he got out of school, he should not take the car in a hurry, but stand at the school gate and wait.

If his father came to pick him up, then it would prove that the family had moved to the second base of drilling, the yard of the technical school on the slope.

If his father didn't come to pick him up, then it proved that the move was delayed again, and Taotao took the second shuttle bus from the second base to Team 8 to go home.

When Taotao finished school, he stood at the school gate and waited, expecting his father to come and pick him up to take him to his new home.

However, until Taotao waited for the first shuttle bus to leave, his father did not come to pick him up.

Tao Tao thought in his heart, did he move his home, or did he not move?

Are you going to go back to Team 8, or are you going to continue to wait here?

However, until the second shuttle bus started, my father still did not show up.

So, Tao Tao hurriedly rushed to the second shuttle.

He was afraid that he would miss the second and last shuttle and not be able to return home.

However, when Taotao was about to get into the car, Wei Guo suddenly ran over from afar and across the road.

He shouted Taotao's name and ran at the same time, just like when Taotao got off the No. 600 bus just now and stood at the bus stop sign in Youjiazhuang, it was exactly the same.

It feels like I've gone back in time.

It was as if he had not grown up, and that his father was not what he was now a fifty-year-old man, but when he was a young man Chinese New Year's Eve three years old.

And he is not a young man in his twenties now, but a six-and-a-half-year-old when he went to preschool.

Tao Tao looked at the white hair on his father's temples, he suddenly felt very sad, time passed quickly, he grew up, but his father was old.

Moreover, my father grew old so suddenly, so quickly, as if I didn't feel anything, as if my thoughts were still stuck in when my father was still young.

Tao Tao is not ready to accept that his father is old, his father is already old, and he has grown into a young man.

When the father and son crossed the street, Wei Guo deliberately took Taotao's hand.

"When crossing the street, be careful, always look left and right, and make sure it's safe before crossing the road," he said. ”

When he heard his father's words, Taotao cried.

Because seventeen years ago, the father of thirty-three, pulling his six-and-a-half-year-old self, said the same thing when he crossed the street.
