After a long journey of 6 hours, I finally arrived in Xuzhou, this is my hometown after a long time, I remember the last time I came back, or the year before last year, more than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

Walking out of the train station with his bags, he was immediately stunned by the afternoon sun, and the air was still a familiar taste, which only belonged to the unique taste of Xuzhou.

In front of the square of the train station, I walked with the crowd to the rows of fruit stalls on the side of the road, opened my wallet, and there was only more than 100 yuan left in it, and the last 100 yuan or so was my material harvest in Suzhou for more than two years.

I bought some fruit and two packs of cigarettes, the fruits were given to my father and mother, and the cigarettes were naturally kept for myself to smoke.

Carrying fruit, smoking a cigarette, carrying a bag, and carrying the only 36 yuan left, I walked along the left side of the road to the bus stop, and these were all the things I could get my hands on when I faced my mother and daddy.

……

After 20 minutes of shaking on the bus, I finally stood in front of my house, raised my hand twice but couldn't ring the doorbell, because I didn't know how to face it or explain why I was back.

"Zhaoyang?" A voice that wasn't sure if it was me suddenly rang in my ears.

I looked back, and there was my mother standing behind me with a basket of vegetables, and she must have gone to the supermarket to buy cheap vegetables for the afternoon.

I laughed and said, "Mom, I'm back for your son." ”

My mother smiled, opened the door, and asked me again, "Why did you come back suddenly, have you had a long vacation recently?" ”

I still said in a disguised relaxed tone: "Mom, I won't go to Suzhou when I come back this time, stay by your side in Xuzhou in the future, and do my filial piety!" ”

My mother was a temperamentless person, but my words still made her frown, and she put down the vegetable basket and asked me, "Aren't you doing a good job over there, have you quit your job?" Why can't you settle down with this temperament? ”

"Mom, this is not a matter of whether the temperament can be settled, besides, don't you want me to go back to Xuzhou a long time ago? Now that I'm back, shouldn't you be happy! ”

"Your father and I must be happy that you came back two years earlier, you are not a big boss now, and you don't have a girlfriend...... How do you make us happy? Mom's tone was very displeased.

"Mom, my own mother, don't nag me, I'm coming back this time, isn't it just to live and work in peace and contentment, this time I promise to work hard, find a girl to fall in love, and let you hold a grandson in a year or two! How happy you and my dad are! ”

My mother looked at me angrily and funny, and only said after a while: "It's still not serious, your father will come back later, and I'll see how you explain it to him." ”

I still laughed and said, "Maybe Daddy Ban can't wait for me to come back, maybe he will have to take out the old wine that has been treasured for more than ten years to celebrate!" ”

"I'm hanging!" My mother picked up the basket and walked to the kitchen, and asked me again, "Have you eaten, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles first." ”

"No need, wait for Daddy Ban to come back and have dinner together, I'll eat two fruits first."

……

Before dusk, I put my luggage away, made my bed, felt the smell of home, and gradually forgot the heaviness in my heart, but I was still worried about my future life. For example, if my mother asks someone to introduce me to a girl, but I don't even have the money to invite people to dinner, I dare to look forward to the future in this dilemma!

After taking a nap, I heard the sound of the door opening, and then my mother shouted to me, "Zhaoyang, your dad is back, hurry up and eat." ”

I answered, ran to the living room in my slippers, and sure enough, I saw the board father with a fishing rod and a fishing basket.

I hurriedly took over the fishing props from Daddy Ban's hand, and said with a smile: "Daddy, I caught a lot of fish today, so hurry up and ask my mother to cook the fish and make a dish with wine." ”

Ban Dad nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”

"You ask my mom."

"Your mom told you to come back?"

"No, it's why I came back, I've already told my mother, isn't there a generation gap between the two of us, it's easier for you and my mother to communicate." I laughed in my heart, the reason why I didn't want to tell Sù Ban Dad in person was because I was afraid that he would turn his face, although he looked wooden, but he was really a menopausal man with a temper.

Ban Dad looked at his mother again, and his mother said concisely: "He quit his job, saying that he wanted to stay in Xuzhou and accompany our old couple." ”

Ban Dad didn't care about me quitting my job, and frowned and asked, "I think you don't get along well with that girl, what should she do when you go back to Xuzhou?" ”

Ban Dad suddenly mentioned Mi Cai, I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart, but I comforted myself, Sai Weng lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing, although I lost my job because of her indirectly, maybe it was also a new beginning in Xuzhou, and I lived a good life since then.

I rarely called out to my father, "Dad" and said with a bitter face: "It has nothing to do with her whether I go back to Xuzhou or not, we are normal friends, you went to Suzhou twice, I emphasized to you twice, why did you forget it." ”

Ban Dad was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't understand you young people!" ”

I didn't take the words of the father, and the father was not as dissatisfied with me quitting my job and returning to Xuzhou as I imagined, which is understandable, after all, they are my parents, and there are a few parents in the world who don't want their children to stay by their side, so I can rest assured and live a good life in Xuzhou.

……

During dinner, the family sat together, and Ban Dad also took out his treasured old wine, and both of them poured a glass.

I toasted Ban Dad with a glass of wine, and asked tentatively: "Ban Dad, you won't be unhappy if I quit my job and go back to Xuzhou, right?" ”

"No matter how good the job is, it's useless if you can't save money, it's the same in Suzhou and Xuzhou."

I was a little ashamed of what my father said, and hurriedly swore a promise, saying: "Xuzhou and Suzhou are different, you and my mother will manage me in the future, and I will resolutely not spend a penny, and my monthly salary will be handed over to you two elders for safekeeping." ”

Neither my father nor my mother were speechless, and they didn't know if they didn't trust my future or were dissatisfied with my past.

My parents and I were not embarrassed, and took advantage of the situation and said, "Daddy, can you help me arrange a job in your unit?" ”

Ban Dad put down his chopsticks and looked at me, and without a thought, he said to me, "You can figure out the work yourself." ”

The rigidity of the board father made me suddenly a little uncalm and said: "You are my father, you can't think about this matter and then reply to me, how can you say that you are also a deputy section chief, otherwise, you can arrange a job for me to keep the information in your department!" I promise to work hard and not disgrace you! That's not enough! ”
