The past will always pass, but when we meet again, it becomes a different landscape.

Carrying a slightly heavy schoolbag, Du Chen walked towards the home in his memory.

In fact, Du Chen is now completely relying on the little memory left in his mind to find his way home, and Fengcheng City has already changed 13 years later. High-rise buildings have risen from the ground to replace the low, dilapidated bungalows, and the streets have become asphalt roads, and the original bumpy paths have long since disappeared.

However, at this time, the qiē here completely fits the reflection in Du Chen's memory, whether it is the hawkers who are hawking on both sides of the road, or the old movie theater that the entire Fengcheng people are proud of. According to Du Chen's parents, when this movie theater was built, there were very few in the entire Dongshan Province. Although not many people go to the movies, this has become the capital of almost every Fengcheng person who goes out to brag.

Walking into a small fork in the road from the back of the old movie theater, passing through a somewhat old alley, and twisting around, Du Chen finally arrived at his home.

Looking at the outline of the whole house, Du Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This house carried almost all the youth of the first 20 years of his life, but after the government planned to rectify it in 2005, Du Chen has never seen this old house again.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Pushing open the door, Du Chen shouted into the room. Du Chen knew that his parents must be at home now. As a dual-income Du Chen's parents, in the past few years in the tide of layoffs unfortunately became a member of the laid-off, in the eyes of people in the current era, dual-income means iron rice bowl, which means that the children in the future may also become one of the employees.

Although they were laid off, Du Chen's parents did not have a sad face. Under the pressure of his family and Du Chen's studies, Du Chen's father, Du Si, like some people, went to the sea to do business and set up a car repair factory.

Although her mother Yu Ximei does not have a formal job now, she is a full-time housewife. But Du Chen knew that his mother Yu Ximei opened a commissary in the second half of this year, and the business in the past few years was not very good.

A few years later, more and more people went to the sea to do business, and there were more and more similar car repair shops, and Du Chen's father's car repair shop also suffered an impact. Although there are still some old customers, they eventually go out of business.

His mother's commissary has grown from a small shop of less than 30 square meters to one of the largest stores in the city center. Although his family's life has slowly become well-off, Du Chen knows how much his parents have suffered for this small store.

"Chenchen is back? Put your things down and wash your hands first, your dad will be back in a minute." ”

Yu Ximei, as Du Chen remembers, every time Du Chen goes home, no matter how busy he is, he will agree. And because of the less gathering and more separation later, Du Chen heard this sentence less and less.

This old house is a bungalow with an independent small yard, although this small yard is not big, but basically the family's usual washing is solved in this small yard.

After washing his hands, Du Chen walked into the kitchen, and the first thing he saw was Yu Ximei's back. Although this back has not changed much on the surface compared to more than ten years later. But Du Chen knew that more than ten years later, because of her waist, Yu Ximei would often have back pain. When it's raining and cloudy, sometimes you can't get out of bed.

And when Du Chen understood why, it was already late at that time, when Du Chen was in his third year of college, his father's garage closed down, and the family's continued work was basically used to pay wages to workers, and for her own tuition, Yu Ximei even opened a breakfast shop at the door of the store, selling some stove buns, noodles and the like in the morning to make some money.

Although the business is booming, there is not much money to be made from removing materials. Even though they made very little money, Yu Ximei and Du Sicheng got up at 5 o'clock in the morning day after day to start preparing.

"Chenchen, what are you doing standing at the door, scare me."

Du Chen, who was immersed in memories, suddenly returned to the real world, and Yu Ximei's eyes hid a trace of doubt, as if she didn't understand what her son was thinking.

"It's nothing, I'm just here to see if there's anything I can help with."

Du Chen was a little nervous, seeing his young mother again after more than ten years, Du Chen was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"You better go watch TV, what can you do in the kitchen, it's not just a mess for me. Besides, the things are almost ready, today I made you your favorite fried dumplings with leeks and eggs, and when your dad comes back, we will start making them. ”

Yu Ximei muttered as she pushed Du Chen out of the kitchen. Although the dough on the table and a little flour on Yu Ximei's face fully showed that the meal was not finished yet, Yu Ximei still resolutely pushed Du Chen into the living room.

Du Chen didn't say anything, because he knew that every weekend in his high school, his mother came over like this. Du Chen's high school career was almost spent in school, although Du Chen's high school is not the best high school in this county, but it is the most strictly managed high school.

In boarding high schools, you can only go home every two weeks, and the rest of the time is spent at school. And Du Chen in the previous life complained about the school cafeteria more than once, so every time she went home from a break, Yu Ximei would change her tricks to cook something delicious for Du Chen.

Yu Ximei took some things and continued to the kitchen to get busy, leaving Du Chen to sit alone in the living room.

Although Du Chen knew that this was his home, this familiar but unfamiliar feeling made Du Chen feel a little emotional. A large part of everything here was sold to the people who moved and sold it. Whether it is the old sofa under Du Chen's buttocks, or these "celebrity calligraphy and paintings" hanging on the wall, they all eventually become a speck of dust in Du Chen's memory.

"Ximei, is Chenchen back?"

There was a voice in the courtyard that made Du Chen more familiar, it was none other than Du Chen's father, Du Sicheng.

"I'm back, in the house. You also hurry up and wash your hands, come and help me finish this piece of bread, and we will eat after wrapping it. ”

Du Chen walked to the door and took a bag from Du Sicheng's hand, and knew that it was full of some meat food without looking. This is also his father's job every weekend.

"Chenchen, you go to the kitchen and get a few plates and pack these."

Du Sicheng touched Du Chen's head, changed into shoes, and turned around and walked to the kitchen.

At this moment, Du Chen suddenly burst into tears.

Even if it's a dream, I'm going to stop you from working hard in the dream. ’
