Chapter 3 Returning Home
Sitting in the car home, Ji Xin's mood became uneasy again, he had been away from home for almost 2 years, and he didn't come back even if he was in the middle of the New Year, at that time, he just wanted to work hard, let the boss appreciate, get more opportunities, and get ahead, now looking back, maybe in the eyes of **OSS, he is just a small character, there is no need to waste a trace of energy, that is what the people below should do, as for Ji Xin's original supervisor, it is said that he is the child of the company's director's relatives, parachuted down with a hat, There are a lot of rules all day long, hey, don't mention it, Ji Xin shook his head.
Maybe it's because of the closer home, or maybe it's because he has regained his freedom, Ji Xin only feels that his mind is erratic, thinking about the beautiful life in the future, and having a headache after seeing his parents and relatives, a heart is restless, as if he has overturned the five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, all kinds of flavors come to his chest, and he only feels that the way home is much more difficult than selling a house.
"Shiqiao County has arrived, there are people who get off the train to get off the train, and the next stop is Daqing Township" was thinking, and the conductor reported the station, "The young man with a schoolbag said that you, Shiqiao County has arrived." This is home, Ji Xin was not displeased by the interruption of his train of thought, and walked off the train step by step, this is mostly the case in rural places, there is a special conductor responsible for selling tickets by the way to help report the name of the station, reminding those passengers not to get off the wrong station. As the saying goes, ten miles and one custom, the same is true for this kind of long-distance bus, each place has its own way of reporting stations, the soft voice of Jiangnan, the big voice of the Northeast, and then the nagging of Ji Xin's hometown in Sichuan, with the local accent, instantly made Ji Xin have a familiar feeling, and he often heard such a voice when he was a child.
After getting out of the car, Ji Xin looked around greedily, unlike a big city that can give you a big change if you don't go for a few days, as if a fashionable modern girl, changeable, making people always have a sense of alienation, the small county where Ji Xin's family is located is similar to a big girl with pigtails in the countryside, with a hint of tradition and conservatism in her enthusiasm, even if you don't see each other for a long time, you can still easily find a familiar feeling. There are rows of two-story buildings built on the street, and the shops are enthusiastically soliciting customers, steaming steamed buns, porridge, fried goods, smelling fragrant, and making people appetize when they look at it. After getting off the train in the morning, he was in a hurry to come back, Ji Xin hadn't eaten yet, and seemed to remember all kinds of delicacies made by his mother at home, although the dishes were home-cooked, they were always the best thing in Ji Xin's memory. Finally, with a hint of morning mist, as if overcoming thorns, Ji Xin made up his mind and strode forward, which was the direction of home. Located in the east of the county, the location is also the center of the town, or when the father's school raised funds to build a staff house, the house is not big, the decoration is not luxurious, only more than 80 square meters, but warm four people, including Ji Xin's sister.
A cigarette of kung fu, Ji Xin, whose physical strength is getting better and better, returned to this small building that he is familiar with and can no longer be familiar with, a rusty and mottled big iron door, lying between the corridors, Ji Xin knows that it is just a kind of goods, the iron door is just to prevent the cats and dogs from running outside, covering up, it has never been locked for so many years, and no one has lost anything, the family courtyard is this good, not a big place, everyone knows the roots, any stranger will take a few more glances, fortunately, in the leisure time, Lalaqua, Show off whose daughter-in-law and little son-in-law you saw today, the topic ranges from height to face, and the voice is all-encompassing, comparable to the Public Security Bureau cracking the case and arresting the suspect.
Tightening the backpack on his body, Ji Xin pushed open the iron gate general, and walked up the stairs, Ji Xin's house is on the third floor, just 7 o'clock, the glory of the sun has not yet come here, the corridor is narrow and relatively dim, and when he came to his own door, Ji Xin trembled and stretched out his hand to ring the doorbell, her mother Xu Jinmei is a typical traditional Chinese woman, the most industrious, housework, take care of the family, Ji Xin's down-to-earth and hard-working, unlike some people who are lazy and do less work The quality is mostly influenced by childhood. It's not too early now, but my mother is definitely up and down.
"Who?" Sure enough, there was a mother's voice from inside the door, and then the familiar footsteps, every time Ji Xin could tell through these details whether it was his father or his mother, his father Ji Chenglin walked more calmly, perhaps because he was a soldier when he was young, he never dragged his shoes, and the size of each walk seemed to be measured, and the interval between the sounds falling on the ground was even more accurate, and his mother's steps were relatively small, and she walked quickly and regularly, which was comparable to the character of the two, which was also a common discovery of Ji Xin's sister and brother when he was a child. At that time, the little guy was able to get better for a while, and he went around telling others that he could be recognized by air, and it was a special function.
"Mom, it's me, Xinzi, I'm back" Ji Xin took a deep breath, trying not to show himself too excited. He doesn't want his parents to see anything, and his children always like to report good news and not bad news when they are outside.
"Xinzi, my son is back?" I clearly felt that my mother's footsteps were more urgent, and her tone became a little excited. The door was slammed open, and the mother and son, who had not seen each other for more than 2 years, were reunited again, and Ji Xin would no longer be ordinary. Looking at the child who suddenly appeared in front of her, Xu Jinmei seemed to be a little unbelievable, her youngest son had the most ideas since he was a child, he went out after graduating from college, and he often worked overtime during the New Year's holidays, and he had to call from time to time to remind him not to patronize and forget to eat, why did he come back? "But it's good to go home, it looks strong, healthy and healthy" Ji's mother didn't think much about it, and happily pulled her son into the house, asking how he ate in the field, whether he lived well, how his health was, etc., and heard that his son hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he couldn't stop Zhang Luo picked up the noodles, and his son liked to eat his own eggs and tomato noodles the most" Well, my son said, I want to lay three eggs, and I am still as greedy as before" Ji Xin stood outside the kitchen door, while giving his mother a hand, while responding to his mother's nagging, Most of them are just talking to themselves, and they just feel a warm heart.
At noon, at the dinner table, the father and son who rushed back after getting the news sat side by side, and my sister Ji Qing's family went to see the child's grandparents. It doesn't take much effort, look at your big bag doesn't look light, I haven't prepared any dishes yet, there is nothing fresh in the vegetable field today, fish and shrimp have to say hello in advance to be better" The mother is preparing meals back and forth, compared to the beginning, the steps seem more brisk, obviously the complaint in the mouth is also a happy complaint, as long as the child is safe, the old couple tacitly did not ask why their son suddenly returned home, let alone ask questions about work, how can there be parents who do not know their children, It must be that his son is in trouble at work, and if he can help, his son will definitely say that asking by himself will cause more trouble, so why bother? This is the wisdom of the old man's decades of experience, and it also makes Ji Xin's reason for preparing a stomach useless.
Looking at the table full of dishes, braised pork ribs, kung pao chicken, back to the pot meat, mapo tofu., and the whitening crucian carp soup are all dishes that he likes to eat, and the warm currents rush straight to his heart, Ji Xin suddenly felt that he had done everything wrong in the past few years, what his parents wanted was not how much money their children would make, how big the house was, as long as they could see it often, even if they were busy working in the field, they would often go home to see it in the future, Ji Xin secretly made up his mind, wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up, and took out his big backpack, "Mom, Dad, This is the clothes and nutrition I brought for you, Dad, this is my wine to you, saying that it is produced by the old winery, brewed from pure grain, and today we will taste it. ”
"This child, it's good to come back, there is no shortage of anything at home, these are all strangely expensive" The mother muttered while taking the bag with a smile, parents, sister and brother-in-law, and little niece Ran Ran are dressed in one person, which has been bought a long time ago, and there are some tobacco and alcohol, calcium and zinc supplements and other nutritional products, all of which were bought in the supermarket with Wang Ming's kid after eating barbecue that night, not to mention that they are all quite suitable, look at the set he said, what parents must say no, but children always have to express their hearts.
"What do you know, this is the son's heart, see that your mother will definitely go out to the neighbor later" The father took the wine, and the same smile was full. Seeing this scene, Ji Xin nodded secretly, affirming the role played by Wang Ming, and I don't know where he learned it, just watching his parents be happy, the money is worth it.
"I want you to take care of it, my son is back today, and you are allowed to drink two more glasses" "En" didn't wait for the mother to finish speaking, and the father drank a small glass of wine. "Hehe" father is a drinker, but as he is not young, he must limit the amount of alcohol he drinks every day at home, and he has a small glass of wine at every meal. Although Ji Chenglin, like Ji Xin, looks tall and strong, in fact, his mother is in charge of money at home, as the saying goes, his father is in charge of major affairs, but since Ji Xin remembers, no major events have been found at home. "Dad, eat some food first, there is enough wine today" Ji Xin smiled and gave some dishes to his parents, "Mom, the food you cook is still so delicious, the same as when you were a child, the aroma is overflowing" "You still say, as long as the food is ready when you were a child, you will take the initiative to run to the kitchen to serve the food, waiting to eat it quickly, your sister has always said that you are a little gluttonous cat, hehe" Xu thought of the interesting story of her son's childhood, and Ji's mother smiled more and more brightly.
I ate a meal for more than two hours, there were too many dishes, my parents didn't have much appetite, they only ate a bowl of rice, and in the end, only the mother was left to keep adding vegetables and rice to her son, and the young people were afraid of what to be afraid of, and the body was strong, and the last bowl of rice full of vegetables was solved under the supervision of his mother, Ji Xin rubbed his bulging belly, smiled bitterly, and stretched out his head to look at the kitchen, his mother was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and it seemed that he had to wash some fruit or something, Ji Xin stuck out his tongue, quickly stood up, and sent his drunk father back to the bedroom and made the bed, Only then did he help his father lie down, looking at his father with gray hair, and the wrinkles on his forehead at some point, Ji Xin lost his mind again, and he unconsciously seemed to have missed a lot of things, important things" This is the second time that his father was drunk in Ji Xin's memory, the first time seemed to be the day he was admitted to college and greeted his relatives, at that time his father didn't seem to have gray hair, and he vaguely remembered that time when his father got up early and went to the hotel to arrange a seat, the loud voice was scary, and then he took himself to the table to toast, and he didn't let him drink some if he wanted to, and now, my father is not young anymore. ”
