Chapter 35: Homecoming (Part II)

From the capital back to his hometown Xinfeng, the train took eleven hours, Yang Chen boarded the train at night, arrived the next morning, just slept in the soft sleeper car for one night, did not meet the legendary train encounter, beautiful hookup, soft sleeper private room four big men, two snoring, one smelly feet, change a person with poor patience, do not collapse, but most of them are angry.

Yang Chen didn't suffer anything, this matter was basically ignored to him, he slept until dawn, washed up briefly, stopped in the narrow aisle, stared out of the car window, and the scene of the rapid backwards became more and more familiar, and the situation of joining the army and leaving home came to mind.

He's not what he used to be.

Are the people or things in my hometown also changing over time, and things are not people?

How are the parents' health, are you okay, Li Nan should be in the third year of college this summer, which university did Xiao Nizi study, Yang Chen, who has been completely disconnected from his hometown for many years, has ups and downs, the closer he is to home, the more inexplicable he is worried, the train slowly enters the station through the city, he suppresses his inner fluctuations and goes back to the private room to get something.

The impact of the beast of urbanization has also affected Xinfeng, which is located in the northwest, Yang Chen walked out of the station, and he didn't know the area around the train station, Xinfeng changed Yang Chen secretly sighed, stopped a taxi and went straight to the old city, the old city has not changed much.

In the passenger seat, Yang Chen stared at the buildings on the side of the road outside the car window, and said slowly: "It's been five years, and the old city is still the same, and there are no major changes." ”

"The government has put most of its energy on the new urban area and the industrial zone, the year before last it said that it would renovate the old city, but there has been no movement until now, I estimate that the old city will not change in five years, and the shantytowns in the urban villages are not one or two, and the government has enough spare power." The taxi driver talked eloquently, but he had the style of a brother in the capital.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded.

The driver asked, "Young man, haven't returned to Xinfeng for five years?" Are you studying outside or what? ”

"Be a soldier." Yang Chen replied simply, after encountering so many hardships and almost dying, enlisting in the army is still the glory of his life, and he has no regrets.

"After being a soldier for five years, if you are not a cadre, you are at least a non-commissioned officer, right?" The driver asked tentatively, Yang Chen smiled but did not speak, the two fell silent, the taxi turned around to the front of the Yang family's restaurant, the face was the same as five years ago, but the signboard had a new look, and there were a few cars parked in the open space in front of the hotel, and it seemed that business was good.

Yang Chen paid to get out of the car, stopped on the side of the road and stared at it for a long time, his heart suddenly tightened, he didn't feel it for many years, even if he faced death alone.

Mom and Dad, the unfilial son is back.

Yang Chen pressed his excitement, walked quickly to the door of the restaurant, pushed the door to enter, and his heroic posture suddenly attracted the attention of several tables of guests, a casual casual dress could not hide the unique temperament that had been tempered thousands of times, the noise gradually dissipated, the room became quiet, and he was about to walk to the kitchen in the back.

Suddenly, someone shouted with excitement: "Brother Chen?!" ”

Yang Chen turned his head sideways, and a familiar face came into view, the little brother of the good brother Shishi, Huzi, was even more fierce than back then.

"It's really Brother Chen!" Huzi strode in front of Yang Chen, like seeing a relative who had been separated for many years, excitement and joy overflowed, tears appeared in his eyes, more than a dozen sturdy men who came to eat with Huzi got up one after another, whether they knew Yang Chen or not, they all respectfully called Brother Chen, and the rest of the customers who came to eat were stunned, looking at the young Yang Chen in surprise, wondering which big brother on the road this was.

Yang Chen is not a big brother.

But the rivers and lakes have his legends.

Although it is not as shocking as Zhu Santan Jianguo, it has influenced many people and is remembered by many people, and until now his deeds are still circulating in the student circle of Xinfeng Middle School.

Yang Chen nodded at the fierce men who got up to say hello, patted Huzi on the shoulder again, and asked, "Is the stone okay?" ”

Huzi nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, good, Brother Shi is very good, now you don't need to pee Tan Boss, take us to eat and drink spicy food, and the scenery is more beautiful, I took over a big demolition project in the provincial capital last month, and the provincial capital is busy these days." ”

The stones were mixed up.

Even if the sword went sideways, Yang Chen was still very pleased.

At this time, the curtain of the kitchen was lifted, a middle-aged woman walked out with a tray, and Yang Chen's eyes met, she was stunned, the tray fell to the ground, and several dishes were scattered on the ground, she didn't seem to notice, still stared at Yang Chen, and immediately burst into tears, son, the son who had missed five years came back.

"Chenchen"

Yang Chen's mother Liu Hua was so excited that she didn't know what to say, she covered her face, looked at her son, she cried vigorously, her mother was worried, five years, there was no news, what a torment it was for a mother, it was a kind of destruction, the movement outside alarmed Yang Guodong in the kitchen, and he hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to worry you guys."

Yang Chen hurriedly rushed to his parents, five years strong, the iron-blooded man who had never been weak in a desperate situation of nine deaths and a lifetime, finally showed his weak side, and tears burst out of his eyes.

It's not that he's really weak.

It's apology, self-blame, and distress.

"Say sorry to me and your mother, just come back, just come back." Yang Guodong stroked his son's shoulder, and repeatedly said that it would be good to come back, hoping that his son would become a dragon, get ahead, and be famous all over the world, it is not as good as a good son standing in front of him, and he will come with peace of mind.

The family was reunited, and Huzi's group applauded.

Yang Guodong and Liu Hua, who are accustomed to frugality, announced that they would be free of charge for the customers present, but no one really ate and drank for nothing, Yang Chen acted as a waiter, and was busy for a noon, during which he and Huzi's gang had two beers, and his parents were unharmed, and he was even happier.

The customers gradually dispersed.

Yang's restaurant restores tranquility.

Liu Hua said that he didn't let his son help clean up, seeing that his son's white vest was stained with oil, he had to wash his son, Yang Chen was reluctant to take off his vest.

Yang Guodong noticed his son's abnormality, walked over, lifted the vest, eye-catching, in addition to the strong and toned muscles, it was criss-crossed hideous scars, one by one like the roots of an old tree, shocking, Yang Chen hurriedly took a step back, pulled off the vest, and pretended to smile easily: "The injuries suffered in the army are all healed now." ”

Yang Guodong, who has fought in the self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang, knows at a glance that he knows better than his wife who wipes his tears how much his son has suffered and how much he has suffered over the years. ”

Yang Guodong and Liu Hua didn't ask Yang Chen what he had done in the past five years, and when they learned that Yang Chen went to study at Ningxi University in September, the two of them were happy again.

"Chenchen, that year, you went to the army, and the girl who sent you at the door of our house came to see me and your father a few times, it seems that she is also in Ningxi University, you two are really a bit fateful, I haven't seen that girl for a long time, when will you bring it back for a meal." His mother's unintentional words suddenly stirred up Yang Chen's heart, and he was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.

First love, a man's eternal concern.

Even if he dies unfortunately, it is still poignant.

is actually in the same university as Li Nan, Yang Chen, who has never been good at fantasizing and being ashamed of lewdness, can't help but look forward to the situation of continuing the frontier.
