Chapter 8: Going Home

……

Six years ago, Wang Zheng stepped into the university here. www.biquge.info Two years ago, he and his fellow dormitories broke into the capital with the dream of getting ahead.

Two years have passed, and this is the first time Wang Zheng has returned to the city that has left him with countless memories.

However, compared with the memories left by this city, the attachment to his family is what Wang Zheng desires the most.

Every wanderer who leaves home has the dream of returning to his hometown in fine clothes, and Wang Zheng is naturally the same. After graduating from college and going to the capital, he has never returned home, even for the Chinese New Year last year. In doing so, Wang Zheng knew that he was very unfilial, but he hoped that he would be proud and successful when he went home, rather than achieving nothing.

Because of some past events, what he feared most in his heart was the disappointed look on his parents' faces.

But now it's different!

Therefore, after coming out of Xi'an Airport, Wang Zheng directly transferred to Han*zhong City, and then took a familiar long-distance bus from there to Liuba County in the north-central part of Han*!

Liuba is located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, the upper reaches of the Han River, "facing Bashu and backing the Qinchuan", belonging to the subtropical humid monsoon climate zone, with no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The geological and geomorphological characteristics are unique, the history is long, the resources are abundant, the transportation is convenient, the plank road traffic artery in the past dynasties, known as the place of 'the throat of the Qin and Han dynasties'.

And this is also Wang Zheng's hometown.

In this small county town with a population of just over 50,000, almost all the memories of his youth are recorded!

The country's fast-growing economy doesn't seem to have affected this county in the Qinling Mountains, and there is almost no change from when I left two years ago.

Wang Zheng still found his home very smoothly, an old community built in the 80s of the last century. In such a community, the most important thing is the old man and old lady who enjoy the cool at night.

However, because it was night, no one recognized Wang Zheng who was in a hurry to go home.

Walk through familiar streets, step on familiar stairs, and come to the familiar door. The original anxiety of being closer to home seemed to have disappeared all at once at this moment, leaving only a strong expectation and warmth lingering in Wang Zheng's heart.

"Knock knock ......!"

"Who?"

Listening to the familiar and kind voice, Wang Zheng's heart suddenly became hot.

"Mom, it's me!"

"Xiao Zheng?"

With the sound of surprise, Wang Zheng immediately heard a rush of running, and then the closed door opened from the inside.

Immediately, her mother Huo Lanxiang, who was full of surprise, appeared in front of Wang Zheng.

"Xiao Zheng, is it really you?"

"yes, Mom!"

"Why did you come back so late, and you didn't say anything in advance, and let your dad pick you up when the time comes!"

"Mom, I'm so old. If you have hands and feet, you can just go home by yourself. You don't have to work my dad every time!" Wang Zheng responded to his mother and stepped into the house with a smile.

Turning his head to look at the middle-aged man standing in the living room at the moment, wearing gray short sleeves, although he tried his best to maintain his father's majesty, but his eyes revealed a wisp of irrepressible joy and love, Wang Zheng smiled: "Dad, I'm back!"

"Well, have you eaten?" asked Wang Jianguo, putting down the newspaper in his hand.

"I'm in a hurry to come back, I haven't eaten yet!"

"That's right, your mother just cooked the meal!" said Wang Jianguo, a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Zheng, you sit down with your dad for a chat first, and mom will cook a few more dishes!" Huo Lanxiang said happily.

"No, Mom, that's enough!"

But at this time, Huo Lanxiang, who was excited about her son's return, didn't listen to this, turned her head and rushed into the kitchen.

"Alright, let your mom help!

However, as soon as Wang Zheng sat down here, Huo Lanxiang, who had entered the kitchen for a few seconds, rushed out in a hurry.

"I said, what are you doing with this in and out?"

Huo Lanxiang, who seemed to have no reaction to her husband's questioning, first looked Wang Zheng up and down before saying, "Lao Wang, have you noticed it, our son has grown much taller and stronger than when he was in college!"

"It's not surprising that he's so young, he's grown taller!" In Wang Jianguo's eyes, no matter how old his son grows, he is still a child.

But when he looked at his son carefully, he did find that Wang Zheng had become completely different from before. taller, stronger, and without the decadent temperament of when he was in college, the whole person has become radiant, and there is a strong self-confidence in his body.

Noticing the scrutiny and questions on his parents' faces, Wang Zheng smiled: "Parents, I signed up for a fitness class when I was in the capital over the years, and I often exercised when I was fine, so I became a lot stronger, but I didn't expect that at the age of 23, I could grow taller, so it became what you see now!"

This is an excuse that Wang Zheng has thought of a long time ago. I haven't seen my parents for two years, and it's not too difficult to accept that some changes have occurred in two years. Isn't the old saying 'twenty-three and one run', although it is difficult to grow taller after the age of twenty, it is not completely impossible.

"This is good, this is good! My son is tall and strong, and he is not ugly, and he will definitely find a good daughter-in-law in the future!" Huo Lanxiang said happily.

"I know this all day long!"

"Thinking about what's wrong with this, my son is not too young, and it's time to marry a daughter-in-law. And the strong son of the third unit is the same age as him, everyone has been married for more than a year, and they all have children, can I not be in a hurry?"

Wang Zheng's biggest headache was the topic of his girlfriend, so he saw that his parents continued to entangle on this topic, so he hurriedly took his backpack next to him.

"Mom and Dad, I came back in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring you too many gifts. These two mobile phones are a little bit of my son's heart!"

As he spoke, Wang Zheng took out the two Apple 5s he bought when he left the capital.

He bought a total of three such mobile phones, kept one for himself, and the remaining two were for his parents.

"Mobile phone? Your father and I both have mobile phones, why are you buying this? Isn't it a waste of money!" Although her son thought about herself, which made Huo Lanxiang happy, the first thing she thought of when she was happy was still saving.

"Xiao Zheng, this phone is Apple's, right?"

"Dad, you know that too?"

"Zhou Lan in the front yard and her father have a piece of ...... I heard that this brand of mobile phone is not cheap, and one will cost tens of thousands!"

"Tens of thousands?" Huo Lanxiang immediately exclaimed.

"Parents, it's not that exaggerated, the two add up to more than 10,000 yuan!"

"This is a lot! Xiao Zheng, it's not easy for you to make money outside, what are you doing with such an expensive thing, go back and get the money back, what are we doing for more than 10,000 yuan than buying two mobile phones, and we don't have no mobile phones!"

Wang Zheng, who had expected his mother to say this, shook his head, "Parents, I bought this mobile phone when I was in the capital, and I can't return it, you still have to use it with peace of mind!

Although Wang Zheng's words dispelled Huo Lanxiang's idea of returning the mobile phone, as a mother, such a good thing naturally thought of her son.

"Your dad and I are both old guys, and it's a waste to use such a good thing, so you should use it!"

"Mom, I already have it myself!"

As he spoke, Wang Zheng took out his Apple 5S from his pocket.

"You kid, why are you spending so much money!" Huo Lanxiang complained.

"Okay, since Xiao Zheng specially bought it for us, you can use it with peace of mind!" Although Wang Jianguo feels sorry for his son's money, he also loves the fashionable Apple mobile phone in his hand.

Men who don't want to save face.

Under the comfort of her husband, she finally accepted her son's expensive gift, and Huo Lanxiang, who was both happy and distressed in her heart, told her thousands of instructions, and Wang Zheng swore that she would not spend money again, so she turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Xiao Zheng, why did you come back so late this time?"

"Dad, I haven't been home for more than two years, and I'll come back when I have time this time!"

"Oh, how are you in the capital?

Father and son do it together, and the most talked about is always work. Mother and son sit together and talk the most, and it is always the parents who talk the most.

"The work is going well, but I quit my job in the capital!"

"Resigned?"

"Hmm!"

"If you quit, just quit, it's quite easy to find a job in your hometown, and the housing prices here are not as high as in the capital!" Wang Jianguo thought that his son was not going well in the capital, so he comforted.

In this regard, Wang Zheng did not explain too much, he was never prepared to tell anyone about the Shennong system.

"Dad, my grandfather's old house in the countryside is still there, right?"

"What's going on, you're asking this?"

"Oh, nothing, I want to go back and see!"

"The key is in the drawer, take it yourself when you get back!"

"I see!" ......

Subsequently, Wang Zheng talked to his father about some of his own things in the capital, and then the family happily finished dinner, and after chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest!

Lying on the bed that has been very familiar since childhood, feeling the warmth of the surroundings, Wang Zheng slept very sweetly this night.
