Nishino's dream is to be a writer, to write his life with a pen, and to record his mental journey. Going to university in a provincial city is not a small cost for a student from the mountainous area, and it has been more than a month since the start of school, and Nishino has never been to the places of interest in Changjun.

I don't know what happened to the red tassel? Writing a letter every other week and calling back every two weeks, Nishino is still relieved. Before the National Day, Zhou Hongying called and said that the child should be born around October 10, and everything would be fine with a mother to take care of him, which made Xiye so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

During the seven-day National Day holiday, Nishino hid in the dormitory and read dozens of novels, dizzy. He wondered if the last 40 episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" were written by Gao E, and the first 80 episodes of "Dream of Red Mansions" were obviously out of touch with Cao Xueqin, violating the original theme and outline, could the whole picture be restored?

Xiye told Yan Zhen and Chen Guoan about his thoughts, and both teachers gave a unanimous opinion: "There is no need, it is also a dog's tail to continue the mink, and it is of little practical significance to make an uproar." “

"Xiaoxi, I think you might as well learn from Mr. Yan to engage in modern literary creation, have you read his "Once in the World"?" Teacher Chen Guoan is very realistic.

"I read it carefully three times, and I wrote about the helplessness and helplessness of Chinese students abroad, which is very appropriate for life, and you can see at a glance that Mr. Yan has been gilded in the United States." Nishino is full of confidence.

"That novel of mine is not worth mentioning. The material of the novel comes from real life, and it is higher than reality. Xiaoxi, first learn the classical literature thoroughly, and then think about how to write "Dream of Red Mansions". Teacher Yan Zhen gave a hand-signed copy of "Once in the World" to Nishino.

"Mr. Yan's reputation has long been well-known outside Haimen, listen to him right, whether it is to do learning or creation, you must accumulate thick and thin, don't be ambitious, do it well." Mr. Chen Guoan is an authority to guide the writing of papers, and when it comes to this, it is not good for Nishino to refute him face to face.

"Thank you to the two teachers for your advice, and the students will remember the teachings." Nishino also felt that his idea was whimsical and unrealistic, so he had to temporarily put the "grand plan" of continuing "Dream of Red Mansions" on hold.

On the evening of the 10th, Nishino always felt uneasy, so he called Zhou Hongying's house, but no one answered. Nothing will happen, right? Oh my God. Nishino, who was distraught, redialed every half hour, and still didn't hear back. Most of the students in the dormitory have a solid background, and after military training, they all go to rent a house off campus to live, and there are usually two or three people living in a dormitory.

Late at night, the phone rang when it finally rang, and the sensitive Nishino got up from the bed and hugged the telephone, and looked at the area code, yes: "Hey, is it Hongying?" …… It's Mom ...... Is the red tassel raw? …… Oh...... It's a son! What about the red tassels? “

"Dead ghost, I know that I am going to give birth today, and I will not come back." The breath on the other side of the phone was obviously weak, and they were all extremely happy.

"Am I not in school?"

"I don't know how to take a leave of absence?"

"...... the school knows they will be expelled"

"Just find a reason and come back. The child's eyes are especially like yours, and those big feet. What to name him? “

"I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll call Zhou ......"

"No, you're the child's father, you have to take your last name."

"Zephyr ......"

"It's not playing mahjong, how awkward."

"Xizhou is fine."

"Okay, that's a nice name. In a few days, I will take a few pictures of the child and send them to you. I hung up the phone, remember to miss me. “

With a "tick", the line was broken. Nishino is caught up in infinite thoughts, isn't he dreaming? It's all coming so fast, I'm not ready yet! Hongying, I received your letter, and I can memorize every word of it. In your letters, you tell me about the happiness of tomorrow, and we are flying on the ice; Chasing in the sea of flowers, rolling and pressing the red sorghum together, eating sugar gourds sticking to their teeth, and pressing their two heads into the mud, fighting the landlord. Count the days of the meeting with your fingers, look at the stars like a fool, and see which star is more like you

Look at the way I looked. Hehe, it's time to sleep, class is going to be tomorrow! ……

Finally on Friday, Nishino couldn't wait to climb the train from Changjun to Zhaoyang, got off the train, and just caught the shuttle bus home, and the car was speeding down the S road. Nishino didn't think it was fast enough, so he wished he had wings and flew to Hongying's side immediately.

When I arrived in S County, it was already night. Xiye ran all the way to the house, knocked on the door, and his mother-in-law opened the door when he heard the sound: "It's the middle of the night, come in." “

"Hongying, I'm back." Nishino rushed to the bed in three steps and two steps.

"I didn't say a word when I came back, I called your dormitory just now, and my classmates said that there was no trace of you, and they were worried about me." Zhou Hongying patted her heart.

"I want to surprise you! The child slept soundly. “

"Well, like you, like a pig. Just talking, don't know how to hug your son? “

"Okay." Xiye hugged the child, only to smirk, and kissed Zhou Hongying's forehead, "Wife, thank you for your hard work!" “

"Don't be ashamed, mom is here!" Red Sakura snorted.

"Don't worry, old lady, I'm having fun!" Mother Zhou smiled, "It's okay, if you come back tonight, I can also sleep peacefully." The old lady went to her room to rest.

"Have you eaten?"

"Ate on the train." Nishino undressed and ready to go to bed.

"Go take a shower, it's not good for the child."

"Oh, I'll go!" ……

Autumn goes to winter, and flowers bloom. Zhou Hongying, with her English advantage, insisted on reviewing while taking her children, and in the coming year, she was admitted to a graduate school of law at a university in Central China as she wished.

With two students in the family, plus the daily expenses of the children, Xiye and Zhou Hongying are desperately trying to make money outside during the winter and summer vacations, gathering less and leaving more.

The days are like flowing water, four years have passed, and because Nishino is studying education, he can't find an ideal job in the provincial capital, and he once lost contact with Zhou Hongying, so he had to go home.

When he returned to the Guanfu Village community and went up to the seventh floor, he couldn't open the door, and a middle-aged man opened the door: "Oh, young man, you went to the wrong door, and the house has been resold to me." “

"Aren't you the deputy director of the Quality Supervision Bureau?" Nishino was surprised.

"Now it's a good thing! Do you want to come in and sit? The director didn't smile.

When Xiye saw that the woman sitting in the living room was none other than He Yan, he felt that his mind was blank and he was flustered: "Thank you, I still have something to do, go first!" “

What's going on, He Yan married the director of quality supervision? It's too messy to understand. Nishino was full of doubts and walked out of Guanfu Village.

I thought that I could get into the county middle school without dredging the relationship, but Nishino was wrong, and in the first year of the merger, the personnel department only recognized people and did not recognize diplomas, and he was assigned to a remote mountainous area, and he could only apply for transfer after three years. Nishino, who was full of strength, went to a middle school on the high mountain and became a people's teacher. He rarely goes home, and basically stays in Baoding Middle School.

In the second year after failing the graduate school entrance examination, at a gathering of friends, Nishino met He Yan.

Of course, the bejeweled He Yan has the support of the director of quality supervision, and with a little bit of primitive capital accumulation, she is no longer the little girl who worries about money.

"Nishino, I know you have a son, if you don't want to teach in that mountain nest for the rest of your life. I have a solution. He Yan drank a few glasses of liquor, got slightly drunk, and put his hand on Xiye's shoulder.

"Don't touch me......" The scene of He Yan being the mistress of the director of quality supervision came to Xiye's mind.

"After so many years, you are not a poor scholar! Where is your wife Zhou Hongying? Where are the children? He Yan put his hand up again, "Let me tell you the truth, the director of the Quality Supervision Bureau and your boss are buddies, if you want to enter the county, he will do it in one sentence!" “

"What conditions, you say?"

"It's very simple, you can marry me."

"Let me think about ......"

"Don't think about it, we'll go get the certificate tomorrow. You'll be in town next fall! “

"I don't dare to think about pie in the sky."

"Whatever you want. Just stay with me for the night tonight. How is it? “

"The Knife Director is here!"

"That old man is acting on the spot, and he doesn't do much in that regard."

"You mean more than one mistress?"

"The old man has a handle in my hand, I don't dare to do anything to you?"

So He Yan called a taxi and went to Guanfu Village with Xiye, and the drunk and hazy Xiye fell into the trap step by step. More than a year has passed, He Yan's stomach has not moved, and his temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he threatens Xiye with divorce at every turn.

It wasn't until last week that Nishino returned to that "home" and found a large bag* in the storage room, and he could hardly believe that He Yan and Director Dao had taken advantage of his kindness and ignorance to register a local product company and quietly form an underground drug trafficking network. The legal representative of the company is Nishino, and if he doesn't report it in time, he will be imprisoned.

Nishino put away his books and diaries, went out of the campus, and walked deep in the mountains. Finally stopped a returning taxi, and carefully pondered Linna's phone, could He Yan go to Guangzhou to pick up the goods again? The more I think about it, the more scared I get.

Along the way, Nishihiro was so preoccupied that he didn't say a word to the taxi driver. More than an hour passed, the town arrived, he paid the fare, walked alone on the street, the first thing that came to mind was his wife Zhou Hongying, who had not passed the door, where are you? Why am I back, but you are not there, and the building is empty?

That so-called "home" is loveless. I once wanted to forget you, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. My tears flowed endlessly, obscuring my path. I couldn't tell the direction and couldn't see the way forward. Why can't I go back and pick up a piece of mistaken beauty? Although I am confused, I can feel the happiness and fragrance of the past.
