Section 5: Goodbye loved ones

Everything thirteen years ago was the same as the image in Feng Chaochen's mind, following the route in his memory, he moved steadily along the road, and soon, Feng Chaochen saw the small building that had not been back for more than ten years.

It was a five-storey building, located on the northwest side of the courtyard of about 30 square meters, in the southeast corner of the courtyard there is a small tea tree, under the tea tree is a quaint deep well, next to a small platform, filled with a thin layer of rare earth planted with some green onions and garlic seedlings and the like.

There are high-rise buildings, courtyards and ancient wells, plant some flowers and grow some grass to water vegetable seedlings, not to mention now, even after more than ten years, it is also a very, very good residence. There are floors, courtyards and high roofs, and people who do not have a certain economic strength cannot build such a house.

And it is summer at this time, it is a very comfortable enjoyment to move a recliner and set up a coffee table, lie down in the shade of the tree to drink tea and rest, and feel the warm breath in the summer.

It's just a pity that this building is not Feng Chaochen's own, it is just rented, and it is only half of the first floor, one living room and one room, all of which are quite large, clean and tidy, and there is a bathroom and a semi-open-air kitchen. The price of renting is not expensive, although the house price in 01 has not begun to rise, but the use of 60 square meters plus the courtyard, the price of only one hundred and fifty is equivalent to half a gift. The landlords were two elderly and kind old couples, and after hearing that Feng Chaochen's parents were asking for a house to rent for their children's schooling, they rented out the ground floor at such a low price without saying much.

Standing not far from the house, Feng Chaochen stopped, his mood was a little complicated, and he looked at the big iron gate of the courtyard with a lot of emotion. I have been staying in the field, and I haven't been home for nearly three years, I haven't seen my parents, and I haven't ...... anymore Taking a deep breath, Feng Chaochen calmed down the excitement in his heart, took hurried steps, and stretched out his hand to push open the door.

As the iron door "creaked" open, the sound of dripping water came out, Feng Chaochen's heart unconsciously beat violently, and he stepped across the courtyard to the kitchen in a few steps.

Mother Zhang Xia is standing in front of the pool with her sleeves rolled up, absentmindedly washing vegetables, her over-the-shoulder hair is tied up in a ponytail, she is not tall, a simple and simple white shirt with black trousers, very simple and capable clothes. Compared with the image in my mind, I am much younger, and the crow's feet and gray hair in the corners of my eyes that are born due to overwork cannot be found at this time.

Seeing Feng Chaochen coming back, Zhang Xia hurriedly rushed under the faucet, wiped it on the apron, and came to Feng Chaochen in two steps, and asked eagerly: "How are the exam results?" ”

"Uh......" Although he knows that his mother has always done things at will, she is a person who will act immediately once she has an idea. But now that he has just entered the house, he bumped into such a sentence with his head and face, Feng Chaochen was inevitably still a little speechless, leaned against the wall and took off his schoolbag, and was about to take out the report card.

"What's the hurry, you've already come back, and you can't run away, let the child come in first." Dad Feng Linjun heard the movement, walked out of the living room with a smile, looked at the pool, and laughed: "Look at you, wash a dish, it took almost half an hour, and if you wash it again, it will be rotten." "It's the same with short black hair, and the sides of his cheeks are cleanly shaved. Unlike the tired stubble with a face full of vicissitudes after more than ten years, although he is still the same worker who repairs the car, his mental outlook is very different from that after ten years, in addition to the polishing of time, it is more about the changes in Feng Chaochen.

Seeing his parents again after three years, and still being a young parent, Feng Chaochen's mood is really difficult to describe with pen and ink, but he desperately held back tears in his eyes, afraid that he would not be able to control it, so he would cry out happily.

Walking into the living room, I was greeted by my aunt Zhang Hui and my cousin Yao Yao, my aunt more than ten years ago was the same as in my memory, she liked to chase fashion trends, a small pink shirt, a long hair permed into a slightly curly shawl, a bright smile on her face, and she looked very energetic, and she was sitting on the sofa and laughing with her daughter. On the coffee table in front of him were some small toy models that Feng Chaochen had nothing to do when he was a teenager, and Yao Yao was holding one in one hand and playing happily with his mother, giggling from time to time.

Feng Chaochen hurriedly put down his schoolbag and stepped forward to say hello: "Hello aunt, hello sister." ”

Zhang Hui looked at Feng Chaochen in surprise, feeling a little strange, how could Feng Chaochen, who had always been a little introverted on weekdays, suddenly become down-to-earth and generous, usually shouting quietly after being urged by his sister or brother-in-law. But this thought was fleeting, and it all came down to Feng Chaochen having grown up and being sensible, he pinched his cheek affectionately and shook it from side to side, then patted Feng Chaochen's shoulder, and chuckled: "Xiaochen is back, how are the exam results, look at your appearance, you should have done well in the exam." ”

Feng Chaochen was a little embarrassed by pinching his face, scratched the back of his head, and reached out to take out his transcript and graduation certificate from his schoolbag: "It's okay, I feel good." ”

Hearing this, Yao Yao put down the toy in her hand, raised her round little face with some baby fat, and looked at Feng Chaochen with bright eyes that were very adoring and longing.

"Think it's good? Well, I'm going to have to take a good look at it. Zhang Hui said with a smile, stretched out her hand to take it and took a look, let out an exclamation, browsed it from beginning to end, handed the transcript to her sister who was looking at it on the side, and then picked up the humble graduation certificate, opened it and looked at it, stroked the top of Feng Chaochen's head, nodded and exclaimed: "I didn't expect it, your usual Chinese scores have never been high, but this time you actually got such good results, not bad, very worthy of praise." ”

Looking at Feng Linjun and Zhang Xia, who were relieved, and the nephew who was scratching his head and laughing, Zhang Hui sighed a little in her heart, Feng Chaochen's ignorance in his youth has always been the biggest worry of his sister and brother-in-law. I thought it would take a lot of effort to discipline well, but now it seems that I have finally made progress, and if I really grow up and be sensible, it will not be in vain for everyone's hard work.

"Come on, come on, sister, now you can wash the vegetables with peace of mind, I'll help you cook together, today at noon, let's celebrate Xiaochen's good results in the exam." Zhang Hui said with a smile and took Zhang Xia to the kitchen together.
