After ending the call with Li Nami, Lin Xiao drove to the Walmart supermarket.

After talking to Li Nami for a while, I found that my parents and sister had bought a cart full of things, of course, all of which were snacks that children like to eat......

The family then walked around for a while, and then walked out of the supermarket with large bags and small bags.

got into the car, Lin Xiao was going to take everyone down to the restaurant, but Lin Tianfu was resolutely opposed, he was a little worried about the things in the yard and under the pergola, Lin Xiao took them back, and he didn't have time to distribute them to the villagers, he was afraid that the temperature would be high today, so don't make it a ......

At the insistence of Lin's father, Lin Xiao had no choice but to rush home.

While driving the car, Lin Xiao said: "Dad, Mom, I'm not at home for the Chinese New Year today, don't worry too much, I'll come back early in the morning of the first day of the new year." ”

Hearing that Lin Xiao was not at home for the New Year, the three people in the car were shocked, the news was too sudden.

Wang Juan basically asked reflexively: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Mom, no, don't worry, I'm going to attend the Spring Festival Gala, and I happened to be at the party at that time, of course I can't be at home." ”

"Then why didn't you say it in the first place?" Lin Tianfu asked.

"I just received a call from Mr. Li, I have no choice, I have to sing a song." Lin Xiao explained.

Wang Juan said with some dissatisfaction: "The current Spring Festival Gala is not as good as before, besides, the New Year's is just to sing a song?" ”

Lin Tianfu pulled Wang Juan and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if you think so, then there will be no one in the Spring Festival Gala every year, and those performers are still from the capital?" ”

Wang Juan pouted and said, "However, Xiaoxiao only comes once or twice a year, and she is not at home for the New Year." ”

Lin Tianfu said: "Didn't the child say it, he came back on the first day of junior high school, what else did you say?" ”

Lin Xiao also smiled: "Mom, I didn't leave until the twenty-eighth of the lunar month." When you come back on the first day of junior high school, don't worry about being fine, just go this time this year, and look for me again next year. I said I wouldn't go anywhere, okay? ”

Wang Juan was still a little unhappy, but finally thought about it and didn't continue.

The car drove smoothly on the wide road, and Lin Xiao suddenly said, "Dad." Mom, I want to discuss something with you. ”

"What's the matter?" Father Lin and Mother Lin asked at the same time.

"That's the case, Huanhuan will be in the first year of junior high school next year, I think the quality of teaching here is worse after all, I will basically go to the capital next year, so I want to get Huanhuan to go to the capital to study, so that the quality of teaching can be higher, and I also think, why don't you go over too, I will buy a house." We're all together as a family. Lin Xiao said slowly, for fear that he would speak too quickly at once, and the two old men would not understand.

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, there was silence in the car.

Father Lin and Mother Lin didn't speak, and Huanhuan didn't speak.

After a while, Lin Tianfu spoke, he asked Huanhuan, "Huanhuan, do you want to go to the capital to study?" ”、

"I want to go!" Lin Huan replied happily, seeing his parents silent just now. She didn't dare to speak, so when she asked her, she happily said what she thought.

Lin Tianfu nodded and said, "Huanhuan study well." Always the first in the whole school, go to the capital, you can't be worse than the children in the capital, the big city is always stronger than our rural area, since Huanhuan wants to go, then go. ”

"Oh! That's great! I'm going to the capital next year! Lin Huan shouted happily.

Lin Xiao also smiled. Said: "I waited for the Chinese New Year to go to the capital, first bought the house, and then paid close attention to the decoration, and strive to complete the decoration before the end of the semester." ”

Lin Tianfu said: "Smile, just go happily, it's up to you whether you buy the house or something, and your mother and I won't go." ”

"Why?" Lin Xiao was a little anxious: "How good is the capital?" And you are there, I am more at ease, or I always miss you, our family, where are you staying? ”

Lin Tianfu shook his head with a smile, and said: "Xiaoxiao, you don't understand this, I know that you are good for us, you are filial, but for me and your mother, in this life, we will be comfortable in the mountains, no matter how good the capital is, we are just foreigners, no matter how bad the mountains are, this is also our roots, the roots are here, we are worried everywhere we go, we are not young, we don't want to run around, besides, now our village is also good, the food factory will be built next year, and I am still the backbone of the village, I don't want to leave my old buddy for so many years. ”

Lin Tianfu is usually silent, and it is really rare to say so many things at once today, but after Lin Xiao heard these words, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Dad is right, they don't yearn for the big city now, they just want to be comfortable, down-to-earth, in this land that has lived for almost a lifetime, they will feel at ease, whether it is as beautiful as it is now, or as barren as before, this is the place they want to stay, not for anything else, just because the roots are here.

"Yes, now our village is doing well, we can live in a building next year, we can still make money, not to mention how beautiful life is, why are you going to the capital, your father and I are not going anywhere, just here." Wang Juan also said the same.

Lin Xiao was silent, he knew that he had no choice but to take his parents to the capital, and he didn't know what to say.

"Brother, I'm not going either." Lin Huan also spoke weakly at this time: "Our parents don't go, if I go, they will be bored at home, I don't have anything to study in the county, and I believe I can also be admitted to a good university in the future." ”

Listening to Lin Huan's words, Lin Xiao felt sour in his heart, and at the same time with great shame, he was a son, and he couldn't stay with his parents, but had to do it with his sister who was more than ten years younger than him...... This made him feel that he was incompetent as a son.

"Smile, Huanhuan won't go if you don't go, we are not reluctant, and we are not at ease, it is as good as it is in the county, and our county town always takes the test to become a famous college student? When they go to the county seat, our village will buy a car to pick up their children who go to the county seat to study, don't you think? Lin Tianfu sat next to Lin Xiao, and saw that Lin Xiao was in a depressed mood, so he relieved him.

Seeing what his father said, Lin Xiao knew that he couldn't do anything about it, his parents were unwilling to leave this land, and he couldn't stay in his hometown, so this was a thing that couldn't have the best of both worlds.

"Well, then I'll try to come back a few times a year." Lin Xiao smiled bitterly, and his smile contained apologies and self-blame.

Lin Tianfu understood his son's heart, reached out and patted Lin Xiao's shoulder gently, but didn't say anything.

"Go to the Spring Festival Gala, behave well, and when the time comes, I will tell the old and young masters of the whole village to watch and applaud you, you are not only the pride of me and your mother, you are also the pride of our whole village." Lin Tianfu said. (To be continued.) )
