"It's changed a lot, Xiaoli, you're getting old," Li Xuemei held Chen Xiaoli's hand tightly, and said with emotion in her eyes, the junior classmate in front of her is no longer as beautiful as she was in the past, simple and even a little shabby clothes, there are a lot more wrinkles and white hair on her forehead, time is like an invisible carving knife, gradually corroding a woman's face, if it weren't for the vaguely familiar look between her eyebrows and eyes and the black mole at the corner of her mouth, she would hardly dare to recognize her.

Zhengji saw his mother get out of the car, and also walked down, hearing the conversation between the two, he already had a bottom in his heart, this woman is probably the first classmate Xiaoli that his mother always talks about, the reason why it is so profound, he also knows the reason, his mother in the past difficult period, classmate Xiaoli, used to take care of his mother, at that time Aunt Xiaoli's living conditions were very good, so if there is anything delicious and useful, he will help his mother, and naturally became his mother's best friend in childhood, and during that time, his mother was the happiest.

"Hello Aunt Xiaoli," Masaki greeted as he walked up to his mother.

"What is this?" Chen Xiaoli has not seen the political discipline many times, and the current political discipline has changed a lot from before, so naturally she can't recognize it for a while.

"This is my son, Zhengji, this is Aunt Xiaoli that I often talk to you about", Li Xuemei happily took Zhengji's hand and introduced her past hair.

"Ahh It's all so big! Time flies, and the next time I saw you, you were still a child! Look at it, Auntie didn't bring anything, and she didn't have any ...... to meet them", seeing the political discipline around Li Xuemei who was full of heads higher than them, Chen Xiaoli was a little at a loss.

"What kind of meeting gift, he has to call you aunt, have you forgotten that we were sisters when we first met?" Li Xuemei said angrily.

"Xuemei, are you going to come back this time to prepare?" Chen Xiaoli glanced at the convoy parked on the side of the road, a little good, to be honest, she had noticed this very grand convoy a long time ago, but she didn't know whose family it was, after seeing Li Xuemei, the doubts in her heart came out.

"Visit relatives, by the way, take the relatives to my side for the New Year," Li Xuemei said here, pulling through the political discipline with a little pride and pride: "The child has been more competitive and has earned some money in recent years, so I think of my relatives here and take care of it." ”

Hearing her childhood friend say this, Chen Xiaoli didn't realize what she meant, and reacted too slowly, looking at Zhengji's eyes lit up slightly, in this way, this magnificent team is Li Xuemei's! Realizing this, Chen Xiaoli couldn't help but smash her mouth, she understood that this friend who was poor in childhood is now developed.

"Xiaoli, whose daughter is this? Come and visit relatives? While the two were talking, the villagers also gathered around, and an old man asked tentatively.

"This is Li Xuemei, the second sister of the Li family in the city gate tower, have you forgotten Erniang?" Chen Xiaoli said with a smile to the women watching the crowd on the side of the road.

"The second daughter of the Li family, oh! I remembered, I didn't expect it, the second girl hasn't seen her for a while, and she is out of breath", the county seat is not big, and everyone has a general impression of which ones, so the old woman also knew which one Li Xuemei was, and said with emotion.

After knowing Li Xuemei's identity, there were more conversations, mostly praise.

"Xiaoli, I'll go home first, and I'll contact you when I'm done, what is your mobile phone number?" Li Xuemei looked at more and more blind dates, a little embarrassed, and said to Xiaoli.

Chen Xiaoli was slightly stunned, then blushed, and said with some hesitation: "I don't have a mobile phone, I have a landline at home, let me tell you the phone number."

Li Xuemei wrote down Chen Xiaoli's phone number, hitchhiked and Zhengji left, leaving only the people in the same place whispering and talking, as well as Chen Xiaoli's complicated gaze, the so-called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, probably this kind of scene, in a blink of an eye, the sister who had been taken care of by herself back then, had walked far ahead of herself, sitting in a private luxury car that she couldn't even think of, and returned to her hometown with honor.

The car was driving, getting closer and closer to the familiar city gate tower, Li Xuemei's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, passing through the city gate arch, turning right and walking dozens of meters, you can see the mountain wall that is located on the side of the city gate tower in the old days, under the mountain wall, an inconspicuous cave house appeared in their sight, so that the three tigers who drove were a little puzzled, could it be that the family of the boss's mother, living here?

Others, apparently, have the same doubts.

However, their guess is correct, this is indeed the place of Masaji's grandmother's house, there are some childhood memories, when he and his mother come back to visit relatives, they will always live in the cave, at that time they are weak, they are not adapted, every time they come back, they will have dysentery, so that for a long time, his mother only came back alone, his memory of the cave is nothing more than the almond tree in the yard and the wolf dog that always exists at the door.

The road to the cave was not wide, so the bus stopped on the side of the road and the other three cars drove in.

As soon as the vehicle stopped, the old wooden door was gently pushed open, and an old man with gray hair and nearly sixty or seventy years old walked out, looking at the three cars parked on the dirt road with a small width at the door, a little confused.

Masaki saw clearly in the car, the old man in front of him was his grandmother, and the appearance of his memory was no different, and he went back once, about four years ago.

"Mom! I am back! Zhengji's grandmother's doubts were quickly interrupted by Li Xuemei who came out of the car, and a crisp call made her grandmother's eyes light up, and she looked up at Li Xuemei in front of her excitedly, and then was hugged by Li Xuemei.

"Is Meimei back?" Grandma patted her mother's hair, and Li Xuemei, who was in her forties at the moment, was in her arms, like a child who had returned to the past.

"It's me, Mom, I'm coming back to pick you up! And Zheng'er" Li Xuemei's nose moved slightly, holding back the tears of excitement in her eyes and said.

"Zheng'er is here too?" Grandma subconsciously looked around, she hadn't seen Masaki for about four or five years.

"Grandma, I'm here", Masaki walked down from the other side of the car, looking at his grandmother, he was also a little excited in his heart, after all, the old man in front of him was his mother's mother, and he had taken him for a while when he was a child.

Hearing Masaki's voice, my grandmother's expression was obviously stunned, because the tall and handsome young man in front of her was completely different from her memory of four or five years ago, only her face could see the shadow of the beginning, and more importantly, her mature and stable temperament that had been in a high position for a long time, which made her almost dare not recognize it.

"I've grown taller, I've grown up, let my grandmother see it," a few seconds of sluggishness, grandma's face was excited and happy, she took Masaki's hand, and said complicatedly, years, it is such a god that makes some people have to grow old, and some people become more and more mature.

Half an hour later, in the somewhat dark cave, my grandmother stared blankly at a large number of beautifully packaged gifts placed on the ground, her mouth was slightly open and a little sluggish, Li Xuemei told her mother about the changes in her family during this time, and after learning that the cars outside the door were bought by Zhengji, my grandmother was already shocked, not to mention the aspects of Zhengji's career later, which made my grandmother's eyes full of complexity and excitement when she looked at Zhengji.

Don't blame Zhengji for being so famous, why doesn't my grandmother know, the family is poor, the phone has never been in the home, and there is no TV, Qicheng is not so much a county, but a village, plus the geographical location is located in the depths of the mountains, almost out of touch with the outside world, and the village on Zheng Xueyi's side is even worse.

It is precisely because of this that the changes in the political discipline in the past two years, until now, the relatives on my mother's side do not know much, even if I hear about it occasionally, I will only think that it is a duplicate name, because it is too far away.

"It's really good, Zheng'er is out, you can also enjoy it, Mom used to see Zheng'er smart, and she will definitely be a big person in the future", grandma's eyes flashed with happiness, her children's descendants, the more they are interested, the more relieved they are as old people.

"Where's Dad? Why didn't you see him? Li Xuemei suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Your dad went out early in the morning, he should be in the field now, he said he wanted to pick up the straw, and the firewood in the house was gone, just in time to burn," said his grandmother.

Li Xuemei's heart was sour, her father was nearly seventy years old, still working in the fields, looking at the four walls of the cave and the four walls, which made her feel a little guilty, if only she could come back earlier.

As he spoke, a loud voice came from the courtyard.

"Wife, are you at home? What's going on with those cars at the door?"

"It's your dad back!" Grandma hurriedly sat up and walked towards the door.

Li Xuemei's eyes lit up, and He Zhengji also followed, as soon as she went out, she saw a scene that made her eyes red, an old man in his sixties and seventies, standing in the courtyard with a large bundle of straw firewood, his rickety body was pressed deeper by the straw soaked in water vapor.

"Old man, let go of those, the second child is back, Zheng'er is also back to see you coming, the second child is out! The cars outside are here to pick you up! As soon as my grandmother saw him, she couldn't wait to say.

"Grandpa, I'll help you", Zhengji on the side was not stunned, and took a hand in front of him and moved the old man's Chai He down.

Grandpa straightened his waist, looking at the guy in front of him in disbelief, it was difficult to connect with his grandson, who was still a child when he came, and the words of the old woman made him a little stunned for a while.

"I haven't seen you in a while, you've grown so tall!" Grandpa looked at Masaki who was more than two heads in front of him, and said with flashing eyes, "It's wonderful that a child in the past has grown into an adult."
