In the early morning, Dongyang and I soaked two bags in the dormitory to make it easy to pay for a mouthful, packed our luggage neatly, and prepared to leave for home after a while. Even though it's in the same city, I rarely go back to school on the outskirts of the city. This is the first winter vacation of university life, and I am very happy to think that I can eat my mother's food every day when I go back.

We didn't have much luggage for either of us, so we could do it with a trolley case and a backpack for each person. Dongyang drove the car, and I was so excited to introduce him to the situation at home along the way.

"My parents are very good, they are honest people, they work in the same factory, my dad is a designer, and my mom is a treasurer. They are all working-class, so my house is not big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, more than 90 square meters. It's a little small, but my mom cleaned it up, don't dislike it. ”

Dongyang replied to me while looking at the road: "How come? I have to thank you for taking me in, and I really want to meet your parents. I can't go empty-handed, I have something in the trunk, get out of the car and help me get it upstairs in a while. ”

"You're still buying? When did you buy it? What do you think you're bringing with you to my house? We were classmates in the first place, so we didn't have to do that. ”

"Alas~~ It's the first time we meet to visit the elders, and besides, I have to live in your house for so many days, so you don't care about it."

I can't resist him, and I guess my parents will have to complain to me for a while.

As soon as the car drove into the courtyard of the community, we saw my parents standing in the corridor to meet us from a distance.

I got out of the car and ran over: "What do you say you are doing standing outside on a cold day?" Just wait at home, I can still go wrong! ”

"Look at what you said, don't you have classmates who want to come, I'm afraid you will have a lot of luggage." Dad waved his hand at Dongyang, who was getting out of the car.

"Come inside, we can take nothing heavy."

My parents didn't pay attention to me, and walked to Dongyang by themselves.

"It's Zhang Yao's classmate, I heard him say last time, if you are sick, please take care of it, what a good child." Mom grabbed someone's arm and couldn't put it down.

Dad was not idle, opened the back seat door and began to pull his luggage out: "Don't stand outside, take your little classmates home and sit down, I and Xiao Yao can just take these things." ”

"Huh? ~~~ "You guys are really my real mom and dad, I give two thumbs up to say it's very good."

Dongyang, I still know him well, how can he let my dad take things upstairs, and finally tossed twice before we smashed everything into the house.

The key is the gifts he gave, the red wine has to be packed in a wooden box, and it sinks to death.

We took off our shoes and went into the house, and my mother pushed my father into the kitchen to cook, and she pulled Dongyang to sit on the sofa in the living room and talk about it.

"Your name is Dongyang, right, how old are you? Where is home? Is there a place to go? ”

I hurriedly sat down among them: "Mom! Mother! ・・You see you don't check your account here, I asked you to vacate the study and tidy it up? ”

"Oops! Don't get in my way, I'll have a good chat with Dongyang, you move Dongyang's luggage to the south bedroom, and I'll sleep in the study with your dad. ”

Dongyang stood up suddenly: "Auntie, how can I do it, it's enough trouble to come to live with you, I'll sleep in the study, or I'll live in a hotel." So saying, he was about to go outside.

"Don't mind, your uncle and I are afraid that the study is too small for you to live in, or you should go and see it first."

"Okay, Mom, I'll take him there. If not, I'll live in the study, I'll be shorter than him. ”

"Yes, yes, go ahead."

The study room on the north side is indeed smaller, with a large desk and a bookcase, and there is no place to stand on a 1*1.9 bed.

"You better live in my house, it's a lot bigger than this, it's just more things."

Dongyang smiled at me: "No, this is good, I can still write on the table at night, and there are so many books, enough for me to read." ”

"Then if you like it, I'll help you get your luggage." Dongyang and I walked out of the study together: "Is this your room?" Shall I go in and have a look? ”

"Okay, just don't turn it over for me, I won't find it if I change places." I pushed open the door to my room next to the study.

Dongyang entered the house with a scrutinizing expression, if I hadn't lived here for 18 years, I might have thought that this guy was taking me to a museum. He observes every ornament, every book, and even every piece of paper I put on the table.

"Is my room too messy? My mom always wanted to throw these things away for me, saying I was picking up rags, but I just couldn't throw them away. ”

Dongyang looked at the four sorting boxes I piled up in the corner, and they were almost stacked on the roof: "Are these... all toys?" ”

I scratched my head: "Hehe, I kept all the toys I liked when I was a child, and I miss it when I have nothing to take out and look at it again." ”

He looked at me and muttered softly, "I also like to keep my childhood toys." ”

"Yes! Then it seems that we are both nostalgic people! Why don't you take some to school one day, and we'll see who's good. ”

"Okay, Zhang Yao, do you have any photos when you were a child?"

"Yes, you wait, it's all on my mother's side, she won't let me keep it, saying that sooner or later I will have to lose it."

When my mother heard that Dongyang wanted to see the photos, she was interested, so she sat in the middle of the sofa and asked me to be with Dongyang and listen to her talk one by one.

To be honest, I haven't seen these photos in many years, so it's quite interesting to flip them out and enjoy them once in a while. It's just that I was too young in the first few years to take pictures, and I didn't have much impression.

My mother turned the first page of the old album, and I was about 2 years old, and my mother held me in the background was a picture of a weeping willow by the river in the photo studio.

My mother pointed to the photo and said, "Look at how fat you were back then, you look like you're as thin as a matchstick now." ”

I was unconvinced and replied: "Mom, don't talk about me, look at what your face is painted." ”

"What do you know, stinky boy, it was popular to paint like this in photography at that time, and it was beautiful at that time."

"Auntie is right, the aesthetics were different then and now." Dongyang echoed my mother's words. Alas~~~ You guy! When did your mouth become so sweet, pick up what my mother likes to hear.

I looked at him with contempt.

The second photo is when I was 3 years old, standing alone in the gazebo, with a very dissatisfied expression, as if I was about to cry.

"This is the first time your dad has bought a camera, taken you to the park to play, and made you laugh just don't laugh."

"Look, this is called personality, when I am 3 years old and old, my stubborn temper is definitely ancestral."

After reading a few more pages, I got a little impression of the contents of the photo: "Mom, why didn't I see the photo of me before I was 2 years old?" ”

The old mother put the photo album in her hand on Dongyang's lap: "At that time, you didn't take many photos when you were young, and once you cleaned up the house and threw it away." Dongyang, look at it yourself, I'll help your uncle cook. ”

"You see you keep saying that you're afraid that I'll lose something, and you're so careless."

Dongyang sat down next to me with the album, tugged at my arm, and asked me to introduce him to the things inside.

"This is a photo I took when I was in elementary school, you see how dirty I was at that time, my mother washed the school uniform very clean, and my father specially ordered two sets for me, so I can wear them every day."

Dongyang looked at each photo carefully, listening to my memories of the past.

Before I knew it, my father had prepared a table full of dishes: "Don't look at it, wash your hands and come over for dinner!" Otherwise, it will be cold for a while. ”

I was so hungry that the monkey ran to the table and picked up a piece of beef sauce and threw it in his mouth: "Mmmm, mmmm, it's delicious, it's my mother's thing." ”

My mother was setting the dishes and chopsticks, and slapped off the hand that she was about to steal again: "You quickly let your classmates sit down, you can eat later." ”

I turned my head to Dongyang and shouted helplessly: "Hurry up, if you don't come, my mother won't let me eat." ”

This guy walked over unhurriedly and glanced at the more than 10 dishes on the table: "Uncle, auntie, don't be busy, there are enough dishes here." ”

"I've got a soup stew, you all sit down and eat it first." Dad poked his head out of the kitchen and looked at us.

"Lao Zhang, come over quickly, don't you sit on that child, can you move chopsticks?"

"Alright, alright, then I'll turn the heat down."

Saying that, our family and Dongyang sat down around the dining table, and before the meal, Dongyang took out a pink-colored square box from his backpack.

"Auntie, I don't know what perfume you usually wear, you try this."

My mom looked at me with some complaint: "You said you! Why do you let your classmates bring things, you are all students, it is not easy for your parents to go to school, why do you still spend money indiscriminately! ”

I turned my complaining gaze to Dongyang again: "Look at you! I said I wouldn't let you buy anything, but you didn't listen, so let me be told now. ”

It's still a round that my dad came to play: "Eh~~ Wife, don't talk about the children, it's all a little heart, you just take it." ”

My mother was a little embarrassed, but she still accepted the gift.

At the dinner table, we had another bottle of red wine brought by Dongyang, and I didn't taste anything famous, so I felt bitter and astringent. Dad seems to understand a little, saying that we have ruined all the good things, and this red wine can only be drunk after sobering up. I said why do you work so hard, just mix it with Sprite, my mother will definitely love to drink it.

Dongyang didn't say much, just ate all kinds of dishes on the plate that were sandwiched as high as a mountain by my mother.

I said, "Mom! Don't be adding food to him. Look at Dongyang's plate, when will he finish eating. He's a good person, don't hold it up. ”

Hearing me say that, my mom finally let him go and started putting it on my plate.

Dad chatted with Dongyang while drinking: "Dongyang, Xiao Yao has caused you a lot of trouble at school, right?" ”

"No, no, Zhang Yao has a very good personality and has a lot of friends." Dongyang glanced at me.

"Yes, that's good, when he was in junior high school, it wouldn't be worry-free, he always got into fights and caused trouble. It's big enough to be stable now. ”

My mother also said, "No, I thought what would happen if this kid was bad at school." That worries me, I lose sleep every night. I didn't dare to think that he would be able to be admitted to university on his own, and I calculated that it would be a blessing if he didn't go to the juvenile detention center. ”

Dongyang looked at me in some surprise: "I really didn't see it, you were a bad boy in the past." ”

"Go, go, go! Don't bury me, who doesn't have a little young and frivolous, I'm running for 20 people, can we not turn over old accounts. ”

"Okay, wife, don't talk about it, save some face for your baby in front of your classmates, the tall image he can't stand will ruin you." I looked at my dad affectionately, and said in my heart that you still understand me.

Mom looked at everyone knowingly, "Oh, I can't say yes, right?" Dongyang, then let me tell you about how he would steal bud rice when he was in elementary school, he was there..."

I stood up with my chopsticks and stopped eating!

Behind him, there was a voice left behind his father and mother, "You don't want you to say it, why do you still say it?" The child is angry. ”

"I didn't say anything, did I? I'm just nagging. ”

・・・・・・

I'm not really angry, it's just that I'm always exposed in front of Dongyang, it's so embarrassing, and I can't refute anything, because those are indeed my past.
