Chapter 1: The Return
Zhaojia Hutong is in the old town of T City, some houses are facing demolition, and the other part of the houses have been demolished. Gray buildings are lined up one after another. A tall telephone pole was listlessly carrying a few wires. There is a puddle underneath, and if you are not careful, you will splash gray-brown sewage. There were tricycles pushed over from there. Also be careful, several families near this alley have pushed their houses and built a two-story small western-style building.
The white cheap paint was snow-white, but there were still traces of rain falling on it. Ugly wet marks were left along the back. There were a few aunts and uncles sitting at the door playing leaf cards. A piece of yellow, in traditional handwriting. Most of the young people don't know each other now. Only the older ones can play.
Several old guys gathered, and only Grandpa Chen took off his glasses from the bottom cap of the round-framed wine bottle. His eyes widened, and he pulled the uncle next to him and said. "Look, that, why is it a little familiar?" The one next to him was concentrating on the cards, and when he heard the words, he sighed. He said angrily, "What are you doing, you are looking at it vigorously." ”
Grandpa Chen glanced at the two people walking in front of him again, and knew that the woman walked through the door of a gray house and stopped, so he looked at it again before hesitantly knocking on the door. He slapped his thigh. "Oops!." Got it, got it.
"I think this person looks like the big girl of the Qi family." He shouted, and several old ladies trembled in fright, and their eyes followed their reading glasses to look that way.
"I see, I'm old, I haven't seen me for years, but what if it's a nephew?"
"Can't be wrong, I saw that girl grow up, the two members of the Qi family haven't had a good time in the past few years, where did this child come back? In the past six years, I haven't seen her. ”
"Didn't you say that she was abducted by traffickers to be a daughter-in-law?"
"You're talking nonsense, I've heard that someone is gone."
"What about you? Why didn't you see Baifan Lingtang when the people were gone? What are you cursing for other people's children? ”
"I haven't come back for six years, something big must have happened, I have to go and see."
"Let's go tomorrow. Oh, this is a big deal, the child has been missing for so long, and now he has found it again, God willing. ”
These voices are put to the fore for now. As the owner of the discussion, Qi Jiao stood at the door of her house, staring at the crack in the door, and didn't dare to knock on the door for a while. She raised her hand and put it down again. Under his feet was a pair of Bonwe sneakers that were about to rot, and the red soles were about to fall off. She still brought it with her and put it on. In the past few years, she has been reluctant to wear it, because in the first year, it was broken. I usually look at it and feel that I can reminisce about the past, how do I know that she can still go home?
The hides were put in a sports bag. She was wearing the same dress that disappeared six years ago. In addition to being tattered, it was also very clean. She clutched her bag tightly, her throat jumping out of her body with her heartbeat.
"Who is it?"
The voice was strange and familiar, and the diaphragm of time reappeared in her mind. Qi Jiao shed tears. She opened her mouth to shout. The door slammed open.
The moment Mother Qi stood at the door, her eyes widened, and she couldn't open her mouth for a long time. It's been six years. She also sat a thousand times in her dreams, and she used to dream that her daughter came back, but then she had nightmares and couldn't sleep all night. Thinking about her daughter's tears, she will flow until dawn. Later, I didn't want to think about it, listened to the doctor's words, took medicine to help sleep, and never had a dream of my daughter again, until now, she saw a girl in a denim vest in front of her standing at the door, which seemed to be her dream.
"Mom!!"
Qi Jiao suddenly screamed. She hugged her mother violently and burst into tears.
"I'm Jiaojiao. I'm back. ”
Her voice ignited the fire in Qi's mother's eyes. She pushed her daughter away, her hands touching her rough and wounded hands. I looked down again and saw a pair of shoes whose soles were about to fall off. She was darkened and thin. The strength has also increased. What kind of suffering did you endure?
Qi's mother couldn't speak for a long time, and there was a sound at the door, and Qi's father also looked at the two of them, dumbfounded. Only a voice in the opposite room said, "Mom and Dad, what's wrong with Mommy." Qi Jiao felt a pair of hands hugging her up, tightly. She stopped crying and said to people, "Mom and Dad, I'm back, I'm really back." ”
"Where have you been all these years, how come you are now, you don't even have a letter, your mother and I are dying." Qi's father's hands trembled, and he shouted when he split his head and covered his face. But he saw Qi Jiao's tanned face, and her eyes were black and white, looking big and bright. I can't say anything superfluous. "Let's let the kids in first." Qi's mother had to wipe her face and get her in half-floating and half-pushing.
Qi Jiao became heavier, and her whole body was covered with smooth muscle lines. The slender one is just right. Agile as a deer, but when I got home, my bones were half soft. Half leaning on the couch. As soon as his eyes were closed, he fell asleep. Great sorrow and joy are the most tiring. Qi's mother didn't dare to speak anymore, and the husband and wife silently hugged the bed quilt. Cover her body. But I just ran into her. Qi Jiao opened her eyes. When he saw them, he muttered something he didn't understand, and closed his eyes again.
A little girl walked in at the table. She glanced at her husband and then at her mother. He asked, "Who is this sister?" Mom?" How come I haven't seen it? When Qi's mother heard this, she said, "This is your sister." ”
Qi Niannian's round eyes widened: "Do I have a sister?" Why have I never seen my mother? Did you just give birth to it? "No, how can you give birth to a sister who is older than me?"
She quickly fell into a confusion of thoughts. Ah, suddenly I have a sister who looks dark, so suddenly. "You go to take a nap, and when you go to sleep, Mom and Dad will tell you if it's okay." Nian Nian was picked up. Tucked into a small quilt in the bedroom.
"Don't ask, get up and talk about it." All right. She closed her eyes reluctantly. "Then you must tell me when I get up."
Six years is enough to change a lot of things, for example, this little girl standing in front of her. When Qi Jiao opened her eyes, she saw a pair of small black and bright eyes staring at her. Wake up suddenly. I looked around in a trance.
The walls, the mirrors, the cabinets, all look like they were when she left. As if in a dream, the little girl saw her. "Oh, big sister, mom said you were my sister, really? I've never seen you, did you pop out of the TV? After saying that, a fierce man plunged into her arms. Qi Jiao felt a soft and hot thing arch into her arms, and was scratched twice.
"Hahaha" she itched so badly that she went over to scratch the little meat balls again. "Yes, I'm your sister, but I didn't pop out of the TV," she said, seeing the little girl's curious eyes flash. He pinched her nose with a smile and said, "Sister jumped out of the remote control." "Ah, sister, your hands are so rough." The little girl was pinched by her, and her nose turned red. Qi Jiao hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm sorry." "Hey, it's okay." The little girl had a red nose and waved her hand indifferently. "So it's Sunday, will you play with me? Sister? ”
