Chapter 21: Twenty Degrees (16)

The world is like the sea. And you are a small fish in the ocean. Even if you try your best, you can't make waves.

But Gu Yuan, this little fish, was churning and swimming vigorously in the ocean.

Is he making waves in the ocean now?

Or maybe he's just a special little fish.

Occasional waves.

Soon it will disappear on the surface of the sea.

Gu Yuan stood in front of a detached house, and the high fence formed a courtyard in front of this house.

There is still a spicy taste in the mouth.

Eventually came back here.

This is the home where he grew up.

As the city grew rapidly, urban villages were formed in some places here.

Gu Yuan's home is located in an urban village.

Gu Yuan's parents, as well as Old Man Gu, they are all used to this way of life, this kind of open door is surrounded by neighbors they know, if they live in a villa or a high-rise building, the neighbors will not necessarily say hello when they meet.

Take the keys out of your pocket.

"Click!"

Key insert. Inside the lock of the entry wall.

The iron door was opened.

Walk into the yard.

You can see the lights in the hall on, some sundries pushing in the courtyard, and seven. Eight pots of flowers and plants.

A rusty basketball hoop, erected in the darkness of the night.

This was when he was in elementary school, Gu Yuan fell in love with playing basketball for a while, and his father helped him make basketball hoops.

Step by step, I walked down the hall.

The steps are light.

Or is it fear.

After experiencing Lao Luo, as well as Yang Fatzi and his mother, Gu Yuan realized that he had really missed a lot over the years.

Come to the door of the hall.

under the light.

A middle-aged woman wearing reading glasses. Female, sitting on a low chair knitting a sweater, from time to time she would compare the length of her sleeves, and she didn't notice Gu Yuan standing at the door at all.

She is Gu Yuan's mother, Wu Qin.

Gu Yuan stood silently, his eyes never leaving Wu Qin.

In his memory, his mother was still very young, when did she wear reading glasses?

There are a lot more wrinkles on the forehead, and the whole face has become a lot more wrinkled.

Hair is gray.

His mother really wasn't young anymore.

Since graduating from university.

Every time he came back for the Chinese New Year, he just stayed for two days in a hurry, and then left.

He didn't have time to stop and pay attention.

Stitch by stitch knitting sweater.

Occasionally, I would stop and pat my back with a sore back, and help my reading glasses that had slipped down.

A certain smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Yuan suddenly felt very uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable.

The heart is like a pinprick in the heart.

He pursed his lips, and at this moment, he made a decision in his heart.

When he came back this time, he didn't leave.

Anyway, he quit Chuangtian, where to start a business is not to start a business!

Although the city is a little behind, in the backward city, can't it do a great job?

"Knock knock!"

Knocked lightly on the door in front of the hall.

Wu Qin, who was knitting a sweater, raised his head, and Gu Yuan shouted, "Mom, I'm back." ”

Wu Qin took off her reading glasses and rubbed her eyes.

Gu Yuan would never come back suddenly, every time he came back for the New Year before, it was also the result of her several urgings.

After determining that it is not a hallucination.

Wu Qin stood up, a smile bloomed on her face, and she came to Gu Yuan in three steps and two steps: "Xiaoyuan, why are you back now?" ”

Then, Wu Qin said to herself: "It's a good thing to come back, seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, my mother is knitting a sweater for you!" You're back just in time, let me make a gesture on you. ”

Wu Qin picked up the half-knitted sweater and gestured on Gu Yuan's body: "A little bigger, have you lost weight recently?" ”

Listening to Wu Qin's chatter.

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "Mom, I'm hungry." ”

"Haven't you had dinner yet? Why didn't you tell your mom earlier? I'll make you a bowl of ravioli. ”

Wu Qin said and walked into the kitchen.

"Tick! Tick! Tick! ――”

The clock hanging on the wall kept ringing.

Gu Yuan looked around.

The walls are plastered with certificates of merit, from elementary school onwards, all on the walls.

The surface of these awards is carefully covered with a film, so that after a long time, even accidentally spilled water.

These certificates on the walls will not be old or destroyed.

Wu Qin often said that this was the wall of glory in her family, and she wanted to keep it for the rest of her life.

A moment later.

Wu Qin walked out with a big bowl of chicken soup wontons.

"Xiaoyuan, I just stewed a chicken today, chicken soup wontons, you loved it when you were a child, don't go hungry."

Gu Yuan sat down.

The heat rising from the bowl carries a rich fragrance.

"Mom, what about Dad and Grandpa?"

Gu Yuan asked after taking a sip of chicken soup.

In the past four years.

He began to stop calling his grandfather Gu Old Man without a lot of words.

"Your dad and your grandfather live a very regular life, I think they are asleep now, let's have a good chat with mother and son, Mom has been worried that you are suffering outside, Mom wants you to stay around."

"But your grandfather said that men have ambitions in all directions, and mom can't be so selfish."

Is it selfish?

As a mother, I want to keep my son by my side.

Is this selfish?

It's just a mother's nature.

Chewing ravioli in his mouth.

But Gu Yuan couldn't taste it.

After swallowing your stomach.

Gu Yuan said: "Mom, when I come back this time, I don't plan to leave, I am ready to focus my career on our city, and you can see me whenever you want in the future." ”

Wu Qin was overjoyed.

Instead, he said, "Xiaoyuan, Mom can't stop you from moving forward!" ”

Gu Yuan said again: "Mom, I really plan to come back and start a business this time, and I have already withdrawn from the industry over there." ”

Hearing Gu Yuan's reaffirmation, Wu Qin found that his son was a little different, as if he was slowly changing back to before.

Every mother naturally knows her children very well.

In the four years since graduating from college.

Wu Qin obviously discovered Gu Yuan's changes.

For a while, she couldn't sleep all night because of Gu Yuan's changes.

Later, the old man Gu said with relief: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so you don't have to worry about that kid." ”

But no one saw it at the time.

When Old Man Gu said this, his eyes flashed with anxiety that could not be dissolved.

"Xiaoyuan, when you were just born, you weren't called Gu Yuan, your name was Gu Feiyuan, and this name was given by a fortune teller."

"When you were just learning to walk, I had a dream that you would grow up and go further and farther."

"I want to keep you by my side, I will immediately go with your father the next day to help you apply for a name change, and finally remove the flying word in the middle of Gu Feiyuan, and you have the name Gu Yuan now."

"I didn't expect that when you grew up, you still flew farther and farther."

Gu Feiyuan.

Gu Feiyuan.

Fly far, far!
