It is said that Wang Mu, father and son, have not seen each other for several years, and they have stood at the entrance of the village for a long time.

The father dragged his son around the village, and when he met people, he said, "Look, this is my son, who graduated from college and worked in the city, and has come home to see me." "It makes the village full of envy.

Looking at his father's proud expression and the envious eyes of the villagers, Wang Mu felt very uncomfortable. Thinking that he hadn't returned home once in three years after graduation, he was really unfilial, and he also wanted to tell his father that he was actually just an ordinary clerk and had no interest at all.

But he was afraid, he was afraid that his father would be disappointed.

The father dragged Wang Mu around the village before returning home, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the royal father shouted: "Son, mother, look who has come back." ”

When the mother heard the voice, she put down the dishes she was picking and walked out, and when she saw Wang Mu, she didn't say much, but just said, "Come in, it's time to eat." ”

Wang Mu has long been accustomed to his mother's attitude, and he has always been a little cold to himself in his memory.

But his father said that when Wang Mu was a child, his mother had always loved him, and he knew that when he was in the second grade, his mother suddenly had a serious illness, which later became what it is now. Seeing that other people's mothers are kind to their children, but their own mothers are always cold to him, Wang Mu feels very uncomfortable. In the three years he was away, his father called him every time, and his mother was faintly heard on the other end of the phone urging his father to hang up the phone quickly, which was one of the reasons why Wang Mu was reluctant to come back.

Wang Mu walked towards the kitchen with a smile and said, "Mom, I'll help you." ”

The father shouted from behind, "The boy has finally come back, mother, go and kill our hen." ”

The mother pouted and said: "What to kill, still expect that hen to lay eggs for the family, usually reluctant to go to the street to buy vegetables, can only get together a few eggs to scrambled ......." ”

Seeing what his wife was going to say, the royal father hurriedly said: "You see that the child has finally come back, so let's do it, I'll kill the chicken, and you two will nag well." "Said that my father rolled up his sleeves and was going to the backyard to catch chickens.

The mother stopped the father and said, "What are you nagging, how can there be so much to talk about, I'll kill the chicken." As he spoke, he walked away, muttering as he went: "I haven't sent a dime home for a few years, and I know that I am going to work in the city, but I don't know that I think I am in prison in the city." These words seemed to be talking to himself, but in Wang Mu's ears, it was so harsh, he felt uncomfortable, but he still had to force a smile, he knew that his father was watching him, and he didn't want his father to be embarrassed.

After the mother left, the father smiled bitterly and said, "Your mother is that temperamental, straightforward, don't go to your heart, she actually misses you in her heart." Wang Muqiang held back his tears and said again and again: "I know." ”

The father took out his treasure of old wine, and after a few glasses, the father and son gradually opened up the conversation.

Talking about his work in the city, Wang Mu said with a smile: "It's good, the salary is quite high, and the boss is good to me." ”

After hearing this, the royal father did not speak at first, poured a glass of wine, drank it violently, and said slowly: "Son, I know that you are not working well in the city, what can you not say in front of your father?" Saying that, his father stretched out his head to look out of the window, made sure that there was no one outside the window, got up and took out an old cotton jacket from the cabinet on the kang head, took out a worn-out passbook from the inner pocket of the cotton jacket and handed it to Wang Mu: "Dad is an old man, he doesn't know how to use a bank card, or the passbook is used steadily." This is my father's savings from farming over the years, and there is still some left for you to study since I was a child, leaving it for you to marry a daughter-in-law. Hurry up and don't let your mother see it, or you'll say I'm hiding the money again. ”

Wang Mu slowly opened the passbook handed over by his father, and the deposit records on it were as small as dozens of yuan, as large as hundreds, with a few pages scattered around, and the final balance was 30,000 yuan. Wang Mu didn't know how his father saved the money, 30,000 yuan may not be a lot of money in a provincial capital with high consumption, but for Wang Mu's family, this is a lot of money.

How could Wang Mu ask for his father's money, he hurriedly returned the passbook to his father: "Dad, I have a job now, I can take care of myself, and I will earn money to marry my daughter-in-law and buy a house, you don't have to worry about me, you still keep this money and use it with my mother, add a few decent electrical appliances, and make your life better." ”

The two pushed over and pushed over, this was Wang Mu's mother walking in from the door with vegetables, and his father saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly put the passbook in his pocket. She still couldn't escape Wang Mu's mother's fiery eyes, she put down the dish and pointed to her father's pocket and asked, "What do you have in your pocket?" ”

My father hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." Let's eat. ”

Who knew that the mother still did not give up, and said to the father: "Eat what you eat, and take out what you want." ”

Wang Mu really couldn't get used to his mother's attitude, and persuaded him: "Mom, there's really nothing ...... about." ”

"How can you speak!" Mother interrupted Wang Mu's words. Seeing that the situation was not good, the father had to take out the passbook and hand it to the mother.

The queen mother took the passbook and opened it, and shouted: "30,000 yuan, you old thing, don't tell me when you saved so much money." ”

Wang Mu finally couldn't help it and said, "Mom, can you talk to my dad like this?" ”

When the royal father saw that the mother and son were about to go to war again, he stood up and said, "Don't quarrel, you all don't quarrel, just make me wrong." Then he said to the Queen Mother, "I don't want this money, take it." ”

Who knew that the mother still didn't give up: "I should have taken it, and who knows whose hands you will end up holding it." After speaking, he glanced at Wang Mu meaningfully.

Wang Muyi gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "You ......." The rest of the words stopped and could not be spoken. After all, the one in front of him gave birth to his own mother and raised him, although Wang Mu was angry, he still couldn't help but have a seizure, and put down his chopsticks and walked out.

It was already afternoon, Wang Mu walked alone to the dam at the east end of the village and sat down, took out the cigarette he was carrying, lit it and smoked it slowly.

When he was a child, he would come here every time he was scolded by his mother or in a bad mood, sitting on the edge of the dam and singing half-baked children's songs loudly, and then he would be in a much better mood.

Time has passed, nearly twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, at this time Wang Mu was spitting a cigarette, while slowly humming an unknown ballad, looking a little sad, there have been too many things that he can't bear recently, he wanted to go home to find comfort, but he also had to endure the pressure from home, so that he just wanted to escape at the moment.

A moist wind blew from the dam, making Wang Mu's originally not long hair flutter in the wind, if it was the cynical Wang Mu before, he would definitely sigh narcissistically that he was too handsome at this time. But now Wang Mu is alone, he just wants to be his truest self.

Just when Wang Mu was emptying himself and his mind was empty, a familiar voice came from behind him calling him: "Wang Mu! ”

Wang Mu looked back, and what caught his eye was a beautiful girl in a dress, Wang Mu knew, he was Xiaoli, a girl that Wang Mu never forget.

It's still the familiar big eyes, the familiar ponytail, or the familiar fleshy face, the simple and earthy Xiaoli in the past has been generous and fashionable at this time.

Everything is so familiar, but this person is no longer the familiar Xiaoli.

Seeing that Wang Mu was in a daze, Xiaoli shouted again: "You are Wang Mu, I am Xiaoli, and now my name is Zhou Duxue!" ”

I haven't seen you for so many years, but you've always been in my heart......
