Three months later, late one night, I received a call from Ma Xiaojian in Xilin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ma Xiaoyue's voice sounded hoarse, as if there was still a little sadness.

He said, Tu Ran, you are a dog, if you don't come if I get married, I won't be able to spare you.

How dare I? You said, when will you marry Huihui, I will also rush to the ends of the earth. I asked Ma Xiao Jump.

Tomorrow. Ma Xiaoyue said.

What? I was stunned and glanced at the little clock in front of my bed, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

You say, buddy, can I get married? Ma Xiaoyue sounded like he was drunk, and he asked me in a rough voice.

Why did you notify me now when you got married tomorrow? I'm a little speechless.

I forgot. The drunken Ma Xiaoyue said confidently.

Where is the wedding held? I asked, with a pause.

Zichuan. You book a plane. I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow morning. Ma Xiaoyue said with a grin.

You wait for me. I gritted my teeth and hung up the phone, and hurriedly woke up Lin Ye.

"Hurry up and pack up, and go to Ma Xiaoyue's wedding tomorrow." I turned on the table lamp and said to Lin Ye.

"What?" Lin Ye looked dazed.

Ma Xiaoyue just called and said that he was getting married. I quickly turned on my computer and started looking up my plane ticket. Fortunately, three hours later, there happened to be a flight to Zichuan. Four hours. Looks like it's in time.

After booking the tickets and packing up, Lin Ye and I hurried to the airport.

At eight o'clock the next morning, we arrived at Zichuan Airport on time. At the exit of the station, Ma Xiaoyue was wearing a handsome groom's dress to greet us with a spring breeze on his face.

The wedding was held in a four-star hotel, and it was a big day of eating and drinking. At the wedding, Ma Xiaoyue told the story of his acquaintance with Huihui. That's when I realized that the two of them knew each other like this. Three months ago, I invited them to dinner at home, and Ma Xiaoyue just said that Huihui was from Zichuan, and didn't mention anything else. I don't know where Ma Xiaoyue and Huihui have developed, so I don't want to ask more detailed questions. Unexpectedly, three months later, the two decided to hold a wedding.

Until the end of the banquet, I didn't see Tan Xi and Ma Xiaolong.

After eating, a group of relatives and friends made a noise to send the newlyweds into the cave room. They coaxed Ma Xiaoyue to kiss one in public. Hui Hui's face flushed with shame. Ma Xiaoyue said: "The bride is shy, or, hiccup~ I'll perform a show?" ”

The crowd applauded and said yes.

Ma Xiaoyue cleared his throat and read:

Phew, where are you going?

You coward!

Do you want to abandon your comrades and live alone?

Coward! Open your eyes and see:

This vast history,

This vast starry sky,

Nothing that has not been stained by the blood of the warriors!

……

With the sound of the horse jumping, I suddenly went back to that rainy evening many years ago. Grandma's figure came to my mind all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, after all these years, Ma Xiaoyue still remembers it clearly.

Everyone coaxed, what kind of show is this! I thought he would sing a love song or something, but I didn't expect him to recite a slogan from the sixties and seventies. Everyone felt very disappointed and coaxed to say that it didn't count!

Ma Xiaoyue didn't care about everyone, he laughed and fell down.

On the evening of the second day, Lin Ye and I left together. Due to Ma Xiaoyue's sudden intention, our purse was almost emptied by gift money and plane tickets. No way, on the way back, in order to save some money to support until next month. We chose a hard seat on the train for 14 hours.

The train was speeding all the way, and we were so tired that we fell asleep. Because of the seat, I didn't sleep very comfortably. Sleep and wake up at night. And just like that, the night passed.

The next morning, half-asleep, I seemed to hear the train announce that the next station was about to arrive at Huai'an Station. I woke up suddenly.

Lin Ye also woke up, and he asked me why I didn't sleep. I didn't have a head to say that I was about to arrive in Huai'an. He was puzzled.

Little by little, I told the story of my grandmother. How was she picked up by my grandfather, and how did she tell me about her hometown Huai'an, what Huai'an's watermelons grow in bunches on the trees, and even the skin is sweet and sweet, why Huai'an has a temple, and there is a pair of golden sisters in the temple...... I told Lin Ye everything.

After hearing this, Lin Ye asked me, do you want to go to Huai'an to have a look?

Next time, I laughed and said that I didn't believe my grandmother's nonsense at all.

Lin Ye shook his head at me seriously, what your grandmother said may be the truth.

What the? You wouldn't believe that watermelons bore on trees, would you? I looked at Lin Ye like an alien, and my face was full of incredulity.

Actually, it's really possible. Like a watermelon on a tree, it may be a tomato. Locals may call tomatoes watermelons. It's also possible. And the taste described is similar. Lin Ye explained seriously.

I looked at Lin Ye with a serious face, and suddenly laughed: "If you are my grandmother's grandson, she will be very happy." ”

"How?" Lin Ye was confused.

My heart suddenly became wet. In fact, for many years, who in our family has really understood grandma? Even I, who usually have a half-believing attitude towards her story. She has not been back to her hometown for most of her life. After being brought back by her grandfather, she spent the rest of her life in a completely strange place. She never returned home. Relying on sporadic memories, she regards Huai'an as the sustenance of all her souls. I don't know if she remembered her hometown in her last days. All I know is that she said something faintly before leaving.

She said that my little sister came to pick me up with flowers.

At that moment, I remembered many years ago. Grandma talked to me about Huai'an for the first time. At that time, it seemed like the night of early summer. The spring rains in the northern plains have just ended. The fields were filled with water, and from time to time frogs plopped into the fields. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants. My grandmother and I sat in the night, chatting with each other. Behind us, the occasional whisper of swallows could be heard. I don't know where the swallow came from, and I made a nest under the eaves of my house. It's flying back this year. Grandma said that swallows are very homely, and they go back to their hometown every year no matter where they fly. At that time, I didn't notice that my grandmother's tone was actually a little sad. After that, she talked to me about Huai'an.

I suddenly leaned into Lin Ye's ear and said, my grandmother went crazy a long time ago.

Lin Ye said loudly, "What? What did you say? I didn't hear it! ”

Huai'an arrived. The train just came to a roaring stop. My voice was drowned out by the sounds outside.

Still, it doesn't matter.

I turned my head to look out and whispered something in my heart. I said, hello, Huai'an!

It was the late spring train of 2010.
