Shanghai, Pudong International Airport.

A white Boeing 777 slowly landed on the ground, connected to the spiral staircase, opened the cabin door, and a group of passengers began to walk down the plane one after another.

A sleepy-eyed young man wearing a shirt, leather jacket, jeans, and carrying a canvas bag stepped out of the plane with sleepy eyes.

As soon as he walked down the spiral ladder, the young man suddenly knelt on the ground, and then kissed the ground vigorously, his eyes were full of tears, and he muttered to himself: "I, Hu Hansan, am back again!" ”

Most people were not surprised by this young man's actions, but more understanding, after all, this is a plane flying back from Africa, although most people have different experiences in Africa, but more or less will experience some wars, shootings, after returning to the country, you will find that it is especially good for China, and the moon in foreign countries is really not as round as China.

Yu Zhiqian got up from the ground, picked up his canvas bag, and wiped his eyes, as if the person who kissed the land just now and loved this continent deeply was not him, and looked at the surrounding environment up and down.

"I'm Cao, I haven't been back for two years, why has Pudong Airport become so big, much bigger than Hongqiao!"

"Hey, that's an Airbus 320, tsk, it's much bigger than the 777, so there's a chance to sit down!" Tease was back again, and Yu Zhiqian boarded the shuttle bus while pointing and talking to himself.

Two hours later, Yu Zhiqian was at Hongqiao Airport and boarded a plane to Donghai City, which is his hometown, an eighteenth-tier city in Jiangsu Province, a place where monkeys are more famous than cities, well, the most famous is the Monkey King who has a master who rides a white horse, a pig-like junior brother.

The first thing he did when he returned to his hometown, Yu Zhiqian did not go home immediately, but instead took a taxi and went to the county seat below Donghai City.

After the vehicle bumped on the road for more than an hour, it finally came to a small village, which is not small, after all, there are hundreds of households, compared to the city, this is the size of a community.

The atmosphere of the New Year in the countryside is warmer than in the city, with dolls playing with firecrackers in their hands everywhere, and some young people returning to their hometowns carrying New Year's goods and showing joy on their faces.

Yu Zhiqian carried his suitcase and a large bag to a family in the east of the village, the three-storey small western-style building represents that the family is not poor, and there is a glorious home hanging at the door, which is the honor earned by his old squad leader to this family, when the old squad leader pursued a group of cross-border criminals for 72 hours in a row, and won the second-class merit.

Compared with the bustle at the door of other people's homes, this family is much more deserted, the door is closed, and even the Spring Festival couplets are not hung up, Yu Zhiqian sighed, the rules of their hometown, if a relative has passed away, they can't put up lights within three years.

knocked on the door gently, and there was a response from the room, a woman who looked to be in her thirties opened the door, and after seeing Yu Zhiqian, she was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly smiled: "Xiao Yu is here!" ”

"Xiaofang, who!"

"Mom, it's Xiaoyu!"

"Xiaoyu is here, come in!"

Yu Zhiqian moved his things in, in fact, Yu Zhiqian didn't know how to face his old squad leader's family, when the old squad leader took him to Africa to make a fortune, two people went out, but only one person came back, Yu Zhiqian was most afraid of tears.

"Xiaoyu, you're back from Africa?" The old squad leader's mother is an out-and-out rural woman, and the biggest pride in her life is that she sent her son to the army, and she has made meritorious contributions.

"Auntie, I'm sorry!" Yu Zhiqian knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed three times at her.

"I can't do it, I can't do it! Hurry up, I don't blame you for that incident, it's my family's bad life, you hurry up! ”

Yu Zhiqian knelt on the ground, took out the money wrapped in a paper bag from his pocket, a total of 200,000 yuan, and handed it over: "Auntie, the murderer has been found, this is the compensation money, a total of 200,000 yuan, you take it!" ”

"This, this, this ......" Yu Zhiqian held the money, the old squad leader's mother looked at the money, sighed, and waved her hand: "This money is your own, although I have not seen the world, but I have also asked people in that place in Africa, there is chaos, people are still poor, even if you find someone, who can pay 200,000 yuan, collect your own money!" ”

Yu Zhiqian shook his head: "Auntie, this is really the money paid by the murderer, he was caught, the money lost by selling the house, this is still a part, the money behind it will have to wait until he sells other things to pay off the debt, you take it first, and I will send you the money later!" ”

"This, this, this, and this ......"

"Auntie, you take this money, I won't be able to get up if you don't want it!"

"Hey, Xiaofang, take the money!"

The old squad leader's mother finally let Xiao Fang accept the money, Yu Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and opened his suitcase: "Auntie, this is a specialty I brought back from outside, there are big crabs and lobsters, and some other things, for good health, you and uncle eat more!" ”

After saying that, I didn't care if I wanted it or not, I just stuffed it all, these are cooked goods, and they are not worth much in Africa, but in a small village, they are rare food.

"Xiaoyu, stay and eat!"

"Auntie, no need, I still have to go home, I haven't been back for almost two years, I'll come to see you in two days, don't worry, the squad leader is gone, you will be my mother in the future, I will take good care of you in the future!"

In the end, Yu Zhiqian was left by the eldest mother, Yu Zhiqian still did not leave, was left for a meal, halfway through the meal, Yu Zhiqian left the room in the name of going to the bathroom, came to the hall, opened his suitcase, and there was indeed 200,000 yuan handed over before, shook his head, took out the money, silently put it in the corner of the room and covered it with a dustpan, and continued to return to the kitchen to eat.

The old squad leader's mother is very smart, in her words, although she has not seen the world, but her mind is very thorough, when he saw Yu Zhiqian take out 200,000 yuan, he knew that the money was taken out by Yu Zhiqian himself, so he must leave Yu Zhiqian to eat, and wanted to secretly put the money back, but Yu Zhiqian had already guessed her thoughts, so he put the money back.

After eating, I got on the shuttle bus back to the city, took out my mobile phone at the same time, and sent a text message back: "Auntie, I put the money under the dustpan in the hall, and this money is for my sister-in-law and Xiaowen to go to school!" ”
