Chapter 1: Returning Home
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is September 29, 1998, Beijing time, at 5:27 p.m., the plane has landed at Hongqiao Airport, the temperature outside is 25 degrees Celsius...... thank you for choosing the China Eastern Airlines flight, see you next time!"
Listening to the beautiful voice of the flight attendant echoing in the cabin, Lu Xi was extremely excited, stepping on the land of the motherland again, returning to the city he was familiar with, and about to see his parents and little sister, the indescribable joy instantly broke through his heart, making him feel a sudden sense of suffocation, and the past couldn't help but come back to his mind again.
In his previous life, Lu Xi finished junior high school in China, and was sent to the United States by his parents to study, and studied in the 10th grade in the mahogany tree. I didn't want to touch the sadness of the scene, and after returning to China to deal with the aftermath, Lu Xi returned to the United States with the sadness and hatred of the death of his relatives.
Because of his excellent grades, Lu Xi successfully applied to the California Institute of Technology to study computer science, but because he could not afford the high tuition fees, he could only be an assistant to the professor for free, and paid a symbolic audit fee. In August 2015, he was promoted to head of the domestic company.
On the night of his promotion, Lu Xi took a group of colleagues to celebrate, but he died suddenly due to excessive drinking, and when he opened his eyes again, he was lying in the bedroom of his boarding house during the high school vacation, he was eighteen years old. After adapting for a while, Lu Xi decided to give up his studies in the United States and return to China.
In his previous life, Lu Xi, as an excellent programmer, was most enthusiastic about software cracking in addition to his work. Before returning to China, he spent several months sorting out some of the source code of the software he had cracked in his previous life, synthesized a few parents and short-lived a piece of software, sold it to a software company in Silicon Valley for $220,000, and then used the accumulation of his previous life to write a software and bring it back to China.
Lu Xi took these things on the plane back to China, which was the accumulation of his previous life, and it was also the treasure that changed the trajectory of his family's life in this life.
"Little handsome guy!" An abrupt female voice sounded in Lu Xi's ears, pulling him away from his memories.
Lu Xi was slightly stunned for a moment, looked up at the beautiful stewardess who had been chatting with him for nearly half of the way, and showed a bright smile of a young man.
"The passengers are gone, and you still don't leave? You're not really waiting for me to leave you a call, are you? The beautiful stewardess propped up the back of the seat with one hand and a sweet smile on her face.
Lu Xi glanced around, and only he and the flight attendant were left in the full cabin at this time. Turning his head to look at the beautiful face of the flight attendant, and his eyes that smiled like a crescent moon, Lu Xi smiled, so much time had passed since he was in a trance.
The flight attendant is very beautiful, only two years older than him, but Lu Xi doesn't care about the beauty at this time, he just wants to embrace this hot land that gave birth to him again, breathe the air here, and return home as much as possible.
got up and smiled at the flight attendant, Lu Xi said, "I'll see you in the future." "Take your suitcase and walk straight off the plane.
"Idiot melon who doesn't know how to style!" Lu Xi's back disappeared into the hatch, and the stewardess stomped her feet slightly annoyed, pouted and snorted, and crumpled the note in her hand.
Walking out of the airport, Lu Xi looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, the air in Xingang in 98 was still fresh. The city was far ahead of any other city in the country, but it still had a little less cosmopolitan vibe than he was familiar with San Francisco. However, Lu Xi knows that this city, which walks at a sprint speed, is developing rapidly, and she will become the focus of the world in the future, and this will also be the place where his dream begins.
Passing by the compatriots who were slow or fast, their faces full of happiness or strictness, all of them were so kind, Lu Xi kept chanting in his heart: "I'm back, I'm back......"
Sitting in the taxi to the train station, looking out the window at the familiar and vague city, the closer he got to home, the more Lu Xi couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart.
Lu Xi's home is in Lucheng, a county-level city under Jinjiang City, Donghai Province, 40 kilometers away from Jinjiang and only 50 kilometers away from Xingang, and the train time at this time is one hour. Stepping on the train, sitting in the carriage and listening to the familiar local sound, you can see your parents and little sister in another hour, and it is exciting to think about it.
After returning from the United States without notifying his parents and walking to the door, Lu Xi remembered that this matter was not easy to solve. His parents had high hopes for him to go to college in the United States after graduating from high school, but he gave up his studies and returned to China in nearly a school year, and I can't imagine how they would look when they saw him return to China.
Standing at the door for a while, the joy of going home was greater than a qiē, Lu Xi gently rang the doorbell, and a crisp cry came from the house: "Who?" Then the cat's eye was covered with a black shadow.
Lu Xi smiled at the cat's eyes, and the room suddenly screamed: "Mom, my brother is back, ......, I really didn't lie to you!" ”
The door opened, and the little sister Yaoguang was excited, and the whole person threw herself into Lu Xi's arms. Father Lu Quanzhong and mother Xu Youzhen also walked from the house and saw their son standing at the door, with joy and surprise on their faces.
Lu Xi only felt that the qiē in front of him was so real, back to 98 years, even if half a year has passed, but every day in a foreign country, most of the time is facing books and complicated codes, even if the body is an eighteen-year-old body, but it still gives him a feeling of living in a dream. Seeing my parents and little sister at this moment, the ethereal and dazed feeling completely dissipated.
"It has grown taller and stronger." After not seeing each other for two years, Xu Youzhen pulled her son to look left and right with tears in her eyes, and asked him why he suddenly returned to China.
In his previous life, Lu Xi went abroad to study in high school, he was afraid of taking a plane, and he didn't come back once in three years, and when he came back, his parents were already buried in the fire. Seeing his mother crying, Lu Xi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, first hugged his father, and then hugged his mother and couldn't help crying silently. The little sister, who was very happy just now, also wiped her tears when she saw this scene, and pulled her mother and brother's hands and didn't let go.
Mother and son hugged each other for a long time, Lu Xi wiped away his tears, looked at his father and mother and said solemnly: "Mom and Dad, I plan to return to China to study." ”
Lu Quanzhong was stunned for a moment, Xu Youzhen was still staring at his son with tearful eyes, and after the husband and wife looked at each other, Lu Quanzhong sighed helplessly and said: "It's good to come back, and it will save me and your mother from worrying about everything." ”
Xu Youzhen was silent, her son went abroad for two years, and she came back without finishing high school, she was a little unacceptable, but since she came back, she couldn't drive people back, and now the family can no longer afford the cost of studying abroad, and when he comes back, he doesn't have to worry about it all day.
"You take a few days off and fall into jet lag, I'll contact the school for you tomorrow, since you're back, you still have to take the college entrance examination, your grades abroad, it's okay to study in the third year of high school in China, right?" There was a moment of silence, and Lu Quanzhong said again. Lu Xi doesn't know if he can keep up with the third year of high school now, after all, the knowledge of high school has been thrown away for nearly 20 years, except for English and mathematics, other subjects have long been forgotten.
Lu Quanzhong looked at his son's expression, sighed softly, and said, "Otherwise, you can read from the second year of high school." Lu Xi didn't want to repeat a grade, so he spent too much time in high school, and immediately shook his head and said, "It should be no problem to study in the third year of high school." ”
Before returning to China, Lu Xi had a plan, he couldn't spend too much time in school, today's society changes every day, and if he slows down, he will fall behind others.
After chatting with his parents and little sister for a long time, it was not early, and Lu Xi was pushed into the bathroom by his mother again, telling him to take a shower first, and then have a good rest. Standing under the shower, thinking that he would go to high school to take the college entrance examination after he came back, and wasting a lot of time in class, Lu Xi suddenly felt a headache.
It was already half past nine o'clock in the evening when I came out of the shower, and I walked around the house, and there was not much change in the house, but compared to the computer I bought before I went abroad.
As soon as Lu Xi turned on the computer and sat down to send an email, he saw his mother come out of the bedroom and said with a calm face: "Don't go and rest yet!" You don't have to get jet lag, so why don't you go to school tomorrow. ”
Lu Xi grinned and said, "I sent an email to my friend to report that I was safe, but it would take ten days and a half months to get jet lag." ”
Xu Youzhen glared at Lu Xi twice and said, "It's better to go to school early, foreign and domestic education is different." Seeing Lu Xi staring at the screen silently, he shook his head helplessly and went back to the bedroom.
Lu Xi sent an email to Meng Xia to turn off the computer, and when he turned around, he saw the little sister laughing behind him, and reached out to pinch her tender face.
The little sister pouted and opened Lu Xi's hand, leaned over with a smile on her face and asked in a low voice, "Have you got a girlfriend?" Is it a chick? ”
Lu Xi smiled and touched the little sister's head and said, "There is a gift for you in the box, go get it yourself, I'll go to sleep." ”
Lu Xi has a slight fear of airplanes, and he has never slept because of the fear on the plane, so he fell asleep after thinking about his future life for a while.
As soon as he slept until dawn, when he opened his eyes, he listened to the little sister's chatter in the house, Lu Xi habitually rolled on the bed for a while, listening to the little sister's voice, but he didn't feel sleepy.
When I got up and came out, my mother was combing my little sister's hair, and my mother had a sad face on her face in the mirror, I don't know if it was because of my return to China or other things, I avoided my mother's eyes, Lu Xi smiled and pulled my little sister's head, and said, "Such a big person, do you want your mother to help?" ”
"I hate it, I want you to take care of it!" The little sister didn't look back, and pouted at Lu Xi from the mirror.
"Ring, ring, ring." The phone rang urgently, and Lu Xi was just about to answer it, but his father came out of the bedroom to pick up the phone, answered a few times, and his expression after putting down the phone was even more ugly than his mother.
The expressions of his parents are not good-looking, Lu Xi saw it in his eyes, thinking that it should not be because he suddenly gave up his studies abroad and returned to China, it seems that affected by the economic crisis in Southeast Asia, the Lucheng manufacturing industry, known as "Little Taipei", is not very good.
