Chapter 24: Home

Back at the hotel, it was rare to have a bathtub, so I quickly took a bath, humming a small tune in my mouth, rubbing bubbles, and my body was very comfortable.

With a sigh of enjoyment, I held my phone in a foamy hand, confident in its waterproof ability!

Carefully flipping through each of Esther's circle of friends, each one will reply, but at a glance, seven of the ten are lyrical words, lyrical words, and I was stunned to figure out a kind of sadness and loneliness.

"Spring is coming, and I only hear the sound of rain."

"Xia is here, and I only heard the voice."

"Autumn is coming, and the leaves are falling."

"Winter is coming, and so is the cold."

A little melancholy permeated my heart, I took away my phone, washed myself and wrapped myself in a bath towel, and slowly got up from the bathtub.

……… As usual, I booked a flight to Shanghai at four o'clock, although there were no cars along the way, but when I arrived at the airport, it was like entering a different world, and the crowds were endless.

After checking in my luggage and going through security, I went to the departure hall with an empty backpack and couldn't find anything to use as a meal.

Anyway, I can't eat, and I don't want to eat, so I simply find an empty seat to sit down, holding my mobile phone, memorizing English words, trying to drive away from sleep, recently I have been the busiest, most tired, the longest away from my parents, and the farthest away.

I was really busy and dizzy, and I didn't even send a phone call to my family, so I hurried ...... Skillfully tapping on the keyboard, after a while, the phone was connected, and my mother's anxious voice appeared in my ears: "Tong Tong, how are you doing?" I'm really anxious, you haven't called me for so long, and I can't look for you, I'm afraid of disturbing you... Say, how was the interview? ”

Listening to my mother's long-winded but concerned words, I somehow felt very sour in my heart, my parents must have missed themselves very much, but they were afraid of affecting their own things and couldn't help but miss me and didn't call me.

However, I, who have no conscience, just forgot about it...... Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but redden, and I almost burst into tears, I am really growing up little by little.

"Mom, I came back by plane today, and the interviewer said that it is not good to be a transfer student, so let me come back and make up my English by the way."

I said succinctly, although I really wanted to say more because I could speak Chinese, but the phone bill was very expensive, and I had to learn to save.

"Oh...... All right. Then be careful yourself, I still have a meeting, hang up first. ”

“……”

Before I had time to say a few words that contained my longing, I miss you, and the phone had already hung up.

I stared blankly, "The call is over"

These 4 words, my heart is even more sour, although my mother is very concerned about herself, but every day there are endless meetings, and sometimes I can't see each other for a few weeks, I am responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, in addition to giving me daily expenses and a little poor pocket money.

Since she was a child, she couldn't be like an ordinary child, crying and hiding in her mother's arms when she was wronged, and pestering her to listen to stories at night.

Dad is a doctor again, is an emergency department, others look great, life-saving profession, but the department is too hard, almost 24 hours of mental tension, often the patient rescue ends, another patient in urgent need of rescue is sent over, can be said to be inseparable from people in seconds, at night have to enter the medical records into the computer overtime is inevitable, all year round even holidays are spent in the hospital, it is rare to go back to bed, either overworked and sent home to sleep, or care for a few words of condolences and hurriedly leave.

Therefore, the most I have of my father is to see him fall asleep with his eyebrows locked, looking like he can't sleep well.

Every time I talk on the phone, my dad doesn't have time, I have time to call myself and then I am busy leaving behind, only I waited until late at night, and his tired voice came from the phone, chatting about the physical problems of schoolwork, and the pocket money is naturally responsible for my mother, even the birthday gift, he is to send the courier directly to my home, and the things sent have never been my liking, what brushes, pens, electronic dictionaries, these are all learning, no emotional items.

"Passengers traveling to China, Shanghai, please note that your flight XXXXX will start boarding now, please take your boarding pass and passport but board at Gate 4."

The self-deprecation in my heart extended to the inside and out, I smiled, extremely bitter, just pressed the power button to turn off, heh, maybe that man didn't know that I was in the United States now, and I was still making money with his beloved scalpel......... Sitting on the plane, because I slept very much last night, I really didn't want to sleep at all, I bought economy class, and I didn't sit very comfortably, so I could only eat and relieve my boredom while playing the mentally handicapped game on the plane.

Unconsciously, a can of plum was eaten like this, and when I suddenly found it again, I still didn't catch it when I was playing the game.

My kidneys, don't eat bad...... Quickly called the stewardess and asked for a glass of water.

Fourteen hours later.

After getting off the plane, I quickly took a breath of fresh air, and finally fell asleep, and after a while, I was woken up by the flight attendant.

Slowly and leisurely carrying the box, looking for an exit for a long time, called a taxi.

The driver came down, it should be an aunt, wait, why is it so familiar?

When my aunt saw me, she was also stunned, and looked at each other...... "You are the girl who was with my family Kai last time..."

Auntie finally spoke, and I was shocked half to death, my eyes widened, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time, this, this, it's really that aunt!

How could it be such a coincidence...... Oh, I guess she's been driving here all the way to squatting.

Knowing this, I smiled: "Eh, yes, it's me." ”
