……

The nostalgia is even more timid.

Although this is not Wang Yong's hometown in the real sense, since junior high school, he has followed his mother to Huahai City and lived here for six years. It can be said that this is his second hometown and his home.

It's been five years, and I haven't been home for five years. However, as soon as he stepped into the staircase, his indomitable heart "burst" fiercely.

A sour sensation rushed to the nostrils and eyes. What about going home? Is this still home? This is still the previous one, he and his mother depended on each other together, although Rìzi had a hard time, but it was very dull and a very happy home?

Wang Yong, this is his mother's name. has also told him more than once that her greatest hope in this life is that her son can grow up peacefully and happily, but he simply lives his life. She didn't ask him to be rich and rich, nor did she want him to be famous. Only mediocrity can truly enjoy peace.

But he never understood, he only knew that as a man, even if he couldn't stand up to the sky, he would be amazed, and only the ups and downs, jīng's colorful life, would not be in vain in the world. If you are a man, how can you be mediocre? How can it be bland?

Now he understands his mother's wishes, but it seems to be a little late, five years late.

Zi yù filial piety and not treating, it is really one of the most helpless regrets in life. It has been half a month since he came back, but he has always lived in a hotel and does not dare to stay at home. Although he buried his mother with his own hands five years ago, he has been deliberately deceiving himself with psychological hints over the years, saying that his mother is still alive and living a good life at home. He was afraid, afraid that when he opened the door, it would be a dusty, empty house. Although he knew that it was an inevitable result.

It wasn't until yesterday that Qingming went to visit his eternal sleeping mother that he really let go of all his thoughts. is ready to follow his mother's wish for himself, An An is light, and he is a mediocre and ordinary person.

However, there was one more thing that he had to verify. That thing is like a fish bone choking on your throat, and if you don't pull it out, it will never be comfortable.

Dragging the suitcase, his steps were a little heavy, as if he had tied two hundred-pound lead lumps to his ankles. But he walked unusually firmly, step by step, as if nothing was enough to stop him from going home. Even if the so-called home, he is the only one left.

The property was well maintained and the stairwell was cleaned. Some narrow stairwell sensor lights were lit up one by one with his footsteps, as if they were illuminating the future road and pointing out the direction of his life for his dark life.

As if unconsciously, his hand was on the doorknob, making his heart beat violently. Although he knows that his mother has been dead for five years, he has always been unwilling to accept the reality, and he still has a glimmer of expectation in his heart. I hope that all these years have been nothing more than a nightmare, and when I open the door of my home, I will wake up from my sleep. Then, it was found that it was just a dream of Nanke. At that time, after graduating from high school, in the midst of a dispute with my mother, I did not stubbornly join the army, but followed her wishes and entered college, and now I have graduated for many years and have a stable, decent, and healthy job. Let my mother live a life where she doesn't have to worry about money anymore.

The somewhat rough hand trembled slightly. The key was removed from his neck, a key strung with a red head rope. The red head rope was cleanly washed, but it was knotted a lot, although the knots were tied very carefully. But it can still be seen that this red head rope has been broken many times for a long time.

The key is an old-fashioned brass key, and the long-term close-fitting collection has made this key smooth and shiny from friction and sweat erosion.

This is when his mother worked hard to buy this unit to raise funds, and she personally hung the key around his neck when he was still a junior high school student at the time. Take him by the hand and tell him that from now on, this will be our home.

It's been more than ten years. But he still clearly remembers that his mother, who was only thirty-five years old at the time, was too stubborn and refused to maintain it because she wanted to save money, and her face was already faintly wrinkled and a little gray hair.

He remembered more clearly how his mother worked hard to support the family, and how she saved money little by little to buy this fund-raising house. Even after buying a house, she still saves money. It is said that there are still many places to use money in the future, how much it will cost to go to college, and how much it will cost to marry a daughter-in-law.

However, in terms of what he eats, his mother has always been very generous, and the cow nǎi is constantly eaten all year round, and there is meat to eat every meal, and there will be a stew of chicken every once in a while. But that chicken, my mother never touched. Say anything that must be eaten by one person before it can be nutritious.

At that time, he was not too sensible, and he felt annoyed to his mother's nagging, with his left ear in and his right ear out. However, many things are not known to be cherished and precious until they are lost. Wang Yong's biggest wish over the years is to hear his mother nag a few more words to him.

When he poked the key into the jack, his heart, which had always been very strong, was pinched. I don't know how long I haven't experienced the tension, but I suddenly feel it. I stabbed it twice, but I couldn't insert it.

Suddenly, his eyes were a little sloppy, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly became a little aggressive. I saw that on that door, the old-fashioned door lock had been replaced and replaced by a new set of new anti-theft locks.

An aura of indifference gradually rose from him, and his face sank a little.

Mr. Zhao!

It was my mother's former colleague and neighbor who lived in the same building. After Wang Yong finished his mother's funeral, he entrusted Mr. Zhao to help take care of this house, which embodies his mother's countless efforts and sustenance. Therefore, Wang Yong will also pay Mr. Zhao a sum of money every year so that she can maintain the house. The extra money is counted as her remuneration.

Mr. Zhao, I hope you don't let me down. Wang Yong's feelings for this house are too deep, and he doesn't want to think about the bad side. I just hope that Mr. Zhao noticed that the old lock was not good, so he replaced it with a new one. This is his mother's brainchild and his home. He didn't want Mr. Zhao to be greedy for money for a while, so he rented out the house for profit.

Instead of going downstairs to find Mr. Zhao, he found a wire and wood chip nearby. After a few clicks, the so-called new anti-theft lock was opened. When he opened the door and entered, he was greeted by a spotless home, almost indistinguishable from before he left.

But his body was full of cold. Because the lights in the room are all on, and there are a few pieces of luggage piled up next to the sofa. On the coffee table, however, there was a bag of French bread and a box of beef nǎi. A white Apple phone, a lady's leather Xiaokun bag. The main thing is that the bath bomb is lit up in the bathroom, the sound of rushing water can be heard inside, and a hazy mist wafts out of the cracks of the door.

If he had changed his temper before, he would have rushed in immediately, dragged people out, and threw them into the street with his luggage. But now, he turned back and gently closed the door, and carefully checked the decorations of the bedroom, kitchen, and balcony to see if there was anything unusual about it.

This house should have been uninhabited for a long time, and judging by the situation, this person should have just arrived. I glanced at the wall in the living room again, and the two posthumous photos of my parents were gone. This made his anger go straight up.

When he remembered his mother's advice to him, he would often tell him to restrain his fiery temper, and he endured it. This house is a place full of countless memories and warmth for him. Especially when he wanders outside, this place is like a holy place for his soul.

He didn't want to be here, showing his bad side, and he didn't want his mother to be in the spirit of heaven, and he had to be disappointed in himself.

Slowly sat on the sofa, like a statue, his eyes cold and calm. Fortunately, the situation is not at worst, and there is room for redemption. He glanced at the luggage and bag, and the person taking a shower inside was supposed to be a woman.

But whoever it was, he didn't want her to stay here. The limit of what he could tolerate now was to wait quietly for her to finish her shower before asking her to leave. It was like entertaining the guests to take a bath.

Who knows, I waited for a full ten minutes. There was still the sound of rushing water inside, if it weren't for the fact that the woman seemed to be happily bathing and began to hum a nice tune, Wang Yong almost thought that she had died inside.

I didn't eat breakfast today, so I went to apply for a job, and then I wandered aimlessly all day, and I barely ate until now. After another glance at the bread and beef nǎi, he directly and unceremoniously took it and ate it, secretly thinking that this woman had wasted so much water, electricity and gas by taking a bath for so long. Eating her bread and cow nǎi is considered a return gift.

She should have been grateful to herself for not rushing in and throwing her down the street.

The bread tastes good, the cow nǎi is also very good, imported from New Zealand? Well, this woman is quite extravagant. After he gobbled it up, after a large bag of stuff was drained, there was finally some stock in his stomach. Wang Yong began to ponder, after driving her away, he had to go out for a supper.

After the sound of the water inside stopped, she could be heard busy inside, tossing and turning for a quarter of an hour. The bathroom door facing the living room clicked open.

Ouyang Feifei was in a good mood, and after taking a hot bath, she took some skin care products. From today, she is about to start another life. Although it seems a little hard and difficult, it is also a different life experience. She is Ouyang Feifei, a confident, beautiful, dúlì woman. Any difficulty, in her eyes, is not a difficulty.

She is accustomed to wearing a bath towel wrapped in xìng, like an evening dress, revealing her soft white and smooth fragrant shoulders. Slippers dragged on, hummed a little tune, opened the bathroom door, and walked into the living room. At the beginning of April, it was still slightly cold, so she went straight to the living room to pack her luggage. If the men and women in the company who are afraid of her like a tiger find out that she, who is known as the queen's executioner, has such a homely side, the glasses will definitely be shattered.

Unexpectedly, she had just bent over halfway, but suddenly felt a chilling sensation hit her, as if she was being watched by something. She looked up suddenly, but suddenly saw that there was one more person on the sofa. One more man, to be exact.

If I had to add some adjectives to this man, it would be a man with "obscene" eyes.
