Chapter 39: Homecoming

Mother Fang looked at Chen Yadong and the others, bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you." ”

The tip of Chen Yadong's nose was sour, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Fang's mother and said, "Auntie, don't be like this, this is what we should do." ”

Fang's mother doesn't know much about the inside story, and she can be regarded as grateful to Chen Yadong and others.

After a while, a few people stabilized Fang's mother, and when they came to the side of the illness, Fang Shenyu had already woken up, but he was very weak. Seeing Chen Yadong, tears flashed in his eyes, and he said weakly: "Dong... Tung Ge ......"

Chen Yadong looked at Fang Shenyu who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. Feeling as if his heart was being torn apart, he half-squatted down, grabbed his hand and said, "Xiao Yu!" ”

Fang Shenyu couldn't move if he wanted to, he looked at Yuan Hong and the others with blank eyes, and tears rolled down.

Chen Yadong pulled up his sleeves, gently wiped him dry, and said, "It's okay Xiao Yu, it's going to be fine, don't worry about anything......"

After a while, Fang Shenyu drooped his eyelids and fell asleep peacefully. He was so tired. Chen Yadong and a few people gathered around the bedside, looking at him, and no one said a word. Brotherhood, flowing in burning blood.

At some point, a nurse walked in and said, "The patient is asleep, don't disturb his rest!" ”

Chen Yadong stood up at this time, walked out of the ward, and found Fang Shenyu's doctor in charge to ask about it.

"The patient has passed the danger period and has woken up, and he will be discharged from the hospital after a few months of rest."

This is like giving Chen Yadong a reassurance, and he can go home with peace of mind. led Zhao Yixiao and Li Fangdao separately, and walked out of the hospital with Yuan Hong.

Chen Yadong asked Gao Ming: "What are your plans?" ”

Gao Ming's home is not in the urban area and development zone, and he should go home after the holiday.

Gao Ming said: "Don't you know that you have to make up classes in the third year of high school? For me, there's no winter break anymore. ”

Chen Yadong patted his head and suddenly realized: "Look at my memory, study hard, and work hard to rush into college!" ”

Yuan Hong, Yuan Yuan, Chen Ba, Gao Ming and Sun Xiangfeng sent Chen Yadong and Xiao Tianyang to Beimen Station to buy a car and go home.

There are a lot of people in the station, bustling, most of them are migrant workers who have gone out to work, taking advantage of the Spring Festival to go home for reunion. Huge bags of luggage piled up at a station.

Chen Yadong found a corner where he could stay, and looking at the formation, his heart was half cold. When I squeezed into the ticket window, I was afraid that I would have to wait until the staff at the station got off work.

Just when Chen Yadong had nothing to do, Xiao Tianyang suddenly shook in front of him with three tickets.

Chen Yadong was surprised and thought, grabbed it and saw that it was the ticket to return to his hometown. Curious: "How did you squeeze in?" ”

Xiao Tianyang smiled and said, "Don't you know there's a back door over there?" ”

"Heh," Chen Yadong smiled bitterly, you have to go through the back door to buy a ticket!

Xiao Tianyang said: "I have a friend whose father works in it, and it is easy to get a ticket. ”

Anyway, having a ticket is a good thing, Chen Yadong looked at the uncles who were desperately shouting for the tickets, and his heart was happy.

Xiao Tianyang and Chen Yadong are not from the same township and have different paths. After waving goodbye to Yuan Hong and the others, Chen Yadong and Zhao Yixiao boarded the shuttle bus and could finally go home!

The car started and slowly drove out of the station. Along the way, Zhao Yixiao chattered like a happy bird, and Chen Yadong also patiently explained.

Before I knew it, more than three hours of driving had passed, and the shuttle bus stopped on the main road below Chen Yadong's house. Chen Yadong jumped out of the bus and stepped onto the country road, which he didn't see for months, and it seemed to have been renovated again. The grooves that were previously wide and deep have now been filled.

Zhao Yixiao followed behind Chen Yadong and asked, "Brother, where is your home?" ”

Chen Yadong pointed to the top of the road and said, "It's on there, not far away." ”

"Oh," Zhao Yi looked around with a smile, looked at a river under the highway, and asked, "Brother, the river below is so clear, are there any fish in it?" ”

Chen Yadong said: "There is no upstream, because some people are raising fish downstream, when there is a big flood, occasionally some slip out of the net, and there are fish." ”

Zhao Yixiao grew up in the city, and it was difficult to see the river, and even if there were some, they were black and shiny because of the pollution of industrial waste. Hearing Chen Yadong say that there were fish, she said happily: "Then let's go catch fish!" ”

"The fish that slipped through the net are pitifully small and difficult to catch. Besides, it's winter, and the water pulls out the cold. "In the past, in the summer, when the friends were at home, they prepared a bottle and often went to catch fish, but Chen Yadong never raised it when he took it home.

The two chatted while walking, and soon, the tall building of the neighbor's house appeared in front of them, and the ancestor of the neighbor stood outside the house wearing a padded jacket. ”

Chen Yadong replied: "Yes, Ancestor, have you eaten?" ”

"Just eat, come out and breathe."

Lao Zu is almost 80 years old this year, his waist is not sore, his legs are not painful, he has always been so optimistic, no matter what happens, he always smiles and is very affinity.

At this time, Zhao Yixiao rarely closed his mouth and silently followed behind Chen Yadong. With a 'squeak', Chen Yadong opened the door, and the familiar smell of Chinese medicine still hadn't changed, and it came to his nose. Zhao Yi smiled with a strange expression.

Although Chen Yadong's family is simple, uncles and aunts in the same village like to come to visit. No, as soon as I opened the door, I saw two aunts sitting by the fire chatting with my mother. After the winter, my mother rarely has some leisure time.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three of them turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw Chen Yadong, their mother stood up unconsciously and said, "...... Yadong is back. A simple sentence, but it is difficult to suppress the excitement.

Chen Yadong said: "Well, I'm back." Saying this, he took the luggage in Zhao Yixiao's hand, walked into the room and put it down, and walked out again, seeing that she was still standing timidly.

"Sit." Chen Yadong pulled her to sit down by the fire. Yadong's mother reacted at this time. Hurriedly poured a glass of water, handed it to Zhao Yixiao and said, "Come, drink a glass of water." Then, he looked at Chen Yadong and asked, "...... this girl is?"

"Eh," Chen Yadong didn't know how to explain for a while, and said: "Her name is Zhao Yixiao, she is very curious about us here, and she will come with me to play at home for a few days." ”

Zhao Yi smiled and held the teacup and said, "Aunt Chen is good." ”

"Eh, yes, hehe." Yadong's mother is very curious, since he was a child, Chen Yadong has never brought classmates home, let alone girls. But she didn't ask.

Subsequently, Chen Yadong introduced the other two aunts one by one.

Yadong's mother said: "You must be hungry for the car, I'll cook for you." With that, he stood up.

Chen Yadong also stood up and said, "I'll do it." ”

At this time, the two aunts also stood up and said, "It's not too early, second sister-in-law, we'll go back." ”

Yadong's mother said, "Sit down a little longer." ”

One aunt said, "It's time for us to go home and cook." ”

"Let's eat it here later!" "Nope." After speaking, they came out together.

This is where Chen Yadong grew up in the countryside, and the villagers' words and deeds are so simple, without too much intrigue. What to eat, what everyone eats together. All of this left an indelible impression on Chen Yadong, so much so that many years later, no matter how far away from home, he can still remember it vividly!

Yadong's father was in the back room, and when he heard the sound outside, he pulled his neck and asked, "Is Yadong back?" ”

Chen Yadong walked into the house, came to his father's bedside, looked at his thinner cheeks, and felt a faint pain in his heart. Said: "It's me, I'm back." ”

Yadong's father grabbed Chen Yadong's arm and said, "Help me up." ”

Chen Yadong helped his father up, helped him get dressed, and carried him out. Sit on that shabby couch.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Chen Yadong is good. ”

Yadong's father looked at Zhao Yi and smiled, and asked, "...... this girl is?"

Now that there are no outsiders, Chen Yadong no longer hides it, and recounts that he was bullied when he signed up for No. 5 Middle School. In the end, fortunately Li Fang rescued him, and the Zhao family not only took care of him, recognized him as his godson, but also gave him money to go to school.

Chen Yadong's parents listened carefully, and when he finished speaking, Yadong's mother grabbed Zhao Yixiao's hand, looked at her affectionately and said, "Girl, your family is really a good person!" ”

Yadong's father sighed and said to Chen Yadong: "No matter what happens in the future, I must repay your godfather well!" ”

Certain! Chen Yadong didn't say it, but imprinted it in his heart!

Zhao Yi looked at Chen Yadong with a smile, this handsome boy, he is not living alone, but bearing the hope of the family, she believes in her heart: her brother will definitely get ahead!

The next morning, Chen Yadong got up and looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, God finally did not skimp and returned the beauty that belonged to this season.

Snowflakes fall to the ground and are fleeting. And countless 'petals' are still rushing forward. Finally, the whole village was conquered by it. Dead branches, bamboo leaves, covered in silver. There was silence.

Chen Yadong walked into the inner room, Zhao Yixiao was still asleep, so he reached out and pinched her little Qiong's nose. Yadong's mother saw it and said, "Don't tease her, wait for her to sleep for a while, and call her when the meal is ready." ”

"Oh," Chen Yadong agreed, but he didn't expect Zhao Yixiao to be really trustworthy, and he never woke up before eating.

When Chen Yadong woke her up, she slept with her eyes open, and said haha: "I didn't know anything last night, and I couldn't sleep most of the night." ”

Chen Yadong didn't think about it and said: "It's a mouse, I have a lot of them at home." ”

"What?" Zhao Yixiao suddenly sobered up, stared at Chen Yadong with big eyes, and said in disbelief: "You lied to me, there won't really be mice, right?!" ”

Chen Yadong nodded, he really didn't lie to Zhao Yixiao, in the countryside, people with cats will be better, and mice can be seen everywhere in families without cats. He said, "It's okay, I'm getting used to it slowly." ”

Zhao Yixiao is not afraid for a while, and he is not a snake, why should he get used to these mice. But what to do at night?

Chen Yadong naturally didn't know what her head was thinking, so he said to himself: "Get up quickly, otherwise you won't be able to see the snow." ”

"It's snowing?" Zhao Yi smiled, the mouse that was still afraid just now was thrown behind him in a blink of an eye, put on his clothes and went outside the house to see that it was white. She cautiously walked out into the snow and printed some beautiful patterns. didn't care about eating, so he took a lot of photos with Chen Yadong.

It is undeniable that although Zhao Yixiao is small, she is a rare beauty, with a pink and tender goose egg face, and a pair of big eyes that set off her extraordinarily cute. Putting it on your phone can't hide her charm.

Meals were served and nothing special. Stir-fried shredded potatoes, potato chips, a plate of bacon, and the rest are some home-grown vegetables. Yadong's mother said: "Xiaoxiao, there is nothing to eat at home, so you can only cook some casually, you must be full." ”

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, this is already very good." ”

These are not as good as the color, the flavor, let alone the rich, but at least they are not difficult to swallow.

My mother said that the village was going to hold a general election today, and after breakfast, several aunts next door came to invite each other and went to the village committee together.

Idle and bored at home, Chen Yadong took Zhao Yixiao to walk around the village, and more importantly, to see Wang Jiaxing. Since going to No. 5 Middle School to register, the two have not seen each other again. I think he was inseparable before, separated for more than five months, and I don't know how much he has changed.

It's a pity that Wang Jiaxing is not at home. No. 1 Middle School is a make-up class for the whole school, and he heard his mother say that he will not come back until the Chinese New Year.

Chen Yadong was a little lost, although they had often been in contact with each other on the phone, but they were separated by two places.

With Zhao Yi smiling, Chen Yadong didn't take much to heart, and took her to her uncle's house to visit her grandmother.

Grandma is sixty and seven this year, and in addition to her inconvenient legs and feet, her body is quite tough. (Grandpa died early, when I was in the second grade.) I heard that Chen Yadong was back, and I was also very happy, and the mother-in-law and grandson chatted all morning.
