Chapter 37 Holidays are always short
In the morning, Xiao Mu packed his things very early, and Chen Jingming did not leave in the dormitory, he was still sleeping, and there was no one living here at night.
Gu Yihuai was already downstairs, carrying a backpack and a big bag in his hand.
The two of them went to Chunhua and Qiuyue for breakfast, and there are not many people eating breakfast today. The boss also said that he would close the door tomorrow and go back to his hometown and come back when school started.
After breakfast, Xiao Mu sent Gu Yihuai to the train station. They arrived an hour early, and Xiao Mu still had to catch a plane.
After sending Gu Yihuai to the ticket gate, Xiao Mu had no way to enter the waiting room.
Gu Yihuai urged Xiao Mu, "Hurry up, you won't be able to catch the airport bus for a while." ”
"It's okay, I'm looking at the time. You take care of yourself on the road, and we'll be in touch at any time. ”
"Okay, we won't see each other for a month, but we will be able to meet soon."
"If you don't see each other for a day, it's like three autumns, and that's more than a hundred autumns in more than a month."
"Haven't you heard that time is like flowing water, fleeting?"
"Time is evenly distributed, but the feeling is lumpy and slow."
"Don't be emotional, the airport bus will open in a blink of an eye."
"Oops, stop talking, I really have to go." After speaking, Xiao Mu gave Gu Yihuai a kiss and left in a hurry.
Xiao Mu hurriedly and slowly finally got on the bus a minute before the airport bus started, and panted and sent a WeChat message to Gu Yihuai, telling her that she had already sat on the bus, and there was sweat behind her.
Along the way, Xiao Mu ate and slept, and at first he could chat with Gu Yihuai, and when he got off the plane, Gu Yihuai entered the mountains again and there was no signal.
Tossing all the way, when Xiao Mu arrived home, it was already a little dark. The room was brightly lit, and the table was full of dishes, which was the same every time Xiao Mu went home.
Xu Lanqing saw his son enter the house and immediately greeted him, "I said to ask your father to pick you up, but I won't let you." I'm in a hurry. ”
"I can't find a home, so I'll be able to take a taxi myself."
"Come into the house, go change your clothes first, and then wash your face, the food will be cold in a while."
Xiao Mu finished washing and came out, Lao Xiao had already poured him a glass of wine, "Come on, accompany my father to drink one." ”
Xiao Mu sat down, "It's just one, it's not okay to have more." ”
Xu Lanqing was unhappy, "Why do you still persuade your son to drink?" ”
"How old are they, when I'm so old, I can drink a pound a meal."
"Compared to you, that can still be promising."
"Okay, I've just come back, you guys have a good meal. I sometimes have to socialize at school, and I can drink some, but not much. ”
Lao Xiao was happy, "That's it, I will work in the future and go to society, so that there will be more entertainment." Boys, you must be able to drink some wine, and the wine table is easy to do. ”
Xu Lanqing suddenly remembered something, "By the way, how is Yihuai?" ”
Xiao Mu said while eating, "It's been almost two hours since I got home." I guess it's all over. ”
"Grandma, okay?"
"It's good, I was on the road just now, and I talked to my grandmother on the phone."
"That's good, come and eat more, don't just drink with your dad, eat more vegetables."
The family sat around a table, pushing cups and changing lamps, laughing and laughing. Only with a home with children can there be more fun, no matter how old the child is.
The next day, Xiao Mu went to a relative's house in the morning and walked around, and he didn't come back for the New Year, so he should also say hello.
went down, Xiao Mu went to the teacher's house to sit down, and a few classmates also came to see the teacher. It's been a long time since I've seen each other, and they're all talking about everyone's college life.
Seeing that Xiao Mu was also here, the topic soon turned to Xiao Mu.
A boy said, "Xiao Mu, I saw you winning the championship on the Internet." I watched the live broadcast of those games, you are amazing. ”
A girl also said, "Xiao Mu has always been so powerful, okay." In the high school sports meeting, Xiao Mu won the first place in our class. ”
The teacher also said, "Yes, other homeroom teachers have opinions." The school asked me to ask Xiao Mu and the sports students not to participate in the sports meeting. I don't want to do it, why don't you let us Xiao Mu participate, we are not sports students. ”
Everyone laughed and talked about the past.
The boy continued, "Our class basketball game, we have all discussed, and if there is a ball, we will hand it to Xiao Mu." Leave the rest alone, just wait and see. ”
The girl also said, "At that time, Xiao Mu could dunk the dunk, he was so handsome, and many girls from other classes also came to watch Xiao Mu play." ”
Xiao Mu smiled, "Why didn't I know, why didn't you tell me at that time." ”
The girl said, "Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." It's too late for us girls to stand in the way. ”
The teacher also remembered, "In the third year of high school, other classes jointly sent a letter to the principal to ban Xiao Mu." said that either they would not let our class participate in the competition, and directly give our class the first place, and they would compete well to earn the second. Or don't let Xiao Mu participate, everyone plays fairly. I was unhappy at the time, so it would be fair not to let Xiao Mu participate?
Later, the principal talked to Xiao Mu, but Xiao Mu didn't participate, didn't he? ”
Xiao Mu had actually forgotten it, and after everyone said it, he slowly remembered, "It seems that the principal is looking for me, and I forgot what to say." In fact, Xiao Mu is not so eager to participate in the competition, what is there to have fun with these little kids. But the whole class was counting on Xiao Mu, and there was no choice but to play. It just so happened that the principal was looking for him, and he didn't fight if he pushed the boat down the river, so it was good to see the excitement.
The boy suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Xiao Mu, in the last game, a girl was on the sidelines at the end of the game to compare with you, who is that?" I saw that the coach was standing on the side at that time, and he didn't say anything. ”
Xiao Mu was a little embarrassed, "That's it, that's my girlfriend." ”
"Huh? Your girlfriend? Everyone stared at Xiao Mu.
The boy was even more surprised, "Your girlfriend also knows basketball, you are really a good match." ”
Xiao Mu had a black line, "She went to cheer us on that day, just a few days ago, we watched the previous games of Northeast Light Industry together." She discovered some of the rules of play in Northeast Light Industry. She also had a sudden inspiration that day, so she made such a show. We usually know the coach very well, so she went over and grabbed the coach's position. ”
The girl swaggered, "Look, who said we girls don't know basketball?" Look at Xiao Mu's girlfriend! Do you have a photo? Take a look. ”
Xiao Mu had no choice, took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album and showed her, "Come on, if people don't use that tactic that time, we will die." She must not be blamed to death by her classmates. ”
The teacher also sighed, "Sometimes, when it comes to the critical moment, it is a kind of gamble. If it sounds good, it's luck. If you succeed, you are God, and if you fail, you are a thief. Win or lose!"
We chatted like this, and it was almost time for dinner, and the teacher asked everyone to stay and eat together. Everyone said that they had just come back and were still waiting for dinner at home.
The weather was nice on this day, with clear skies, bright sunshine and a light breeze.
Xiao Mu bought three knives of paper, brought a lighter, and walked along the mountain road to the jungle.
Turning a hill, a small pond appeared not far ahead.
There was no one around, only the sound of birds coming from the trees.
Xiao Mu sat down quietly and looked at the pond, which was the gate he had come here from another world.
Suddenly, Xiao Mu felt as if he hadn't thought about his previous life for a long time. In the past, he would often think back to his previous life. But now, the last time he remembered his previous life, he couldn't remember when.
It's not that there have been too many things and too busy in the past year. Since the injury, I started training and then it was time to play. I've been so busy, so I don't have time to think about it, and I don't have the energy to think about that distant thing.
Still, I have fully integrated into this identity, and the distant things have gradually blurred and faded. I began to care about the people I am now, and I have alienated the people who are in the next world.
Xiao Mu took out a lighter, took out the burning paper, found a branch, and drew a circle on the ground.
Open the burning paper, light it, and burn it in a circle on the ground. Sheets of paper are burning, and flames are jumping.
Xiao Mu carefully and slowly put the burning paper into the fire one by one, watching them turn into ashes little by little. After all the paper was burned, Xiao Mu carefully turned the ashes with a branch until he confirmed that there were no sparks.
Xiao Mu gently hit the water with a branch, "Little guy, how are you now?" I haven't seen you in a whole year, you know, I just won the National Basketball League. I'm the captain of the championship team, yes, it's us. Actually, I'm doing well now, and I'm doing well. Anyway, I don't even seem to remember anything about us. I don't seem to remember my old self anymore, I don't always think about the past, mine, and ours like I used to be.
And now, if I have time, I will think about the future. It's not like an old man, is it? ”
Xiao Mu himself laughed and threw the branch into the water, "I have experienced a lot this year, a little, just a little, I am so close to the end of the previous life, I have seen my own fall." Fortunately, an angel pulled me back from the edge of the abyss in time.
She told me not to give up easily, I know that she never gives up in the face of difficulties in life, and it is she who gives me strength.
In fact, when people face difficulties, they will choose to escape first, and only particularly strong people will bravely face challenges. Most people don't have the courage to face difficulties alone, they need others to accompany them and they need others to give them encouragement.
Fortunately, she was there at the time, so I didn't come back once in vain. Otherwise, I won't have the face to come back to see you. ”
Xiao Mu smiled bitterly, "It turns out that I always thought that basketball was everything to me and my life. Now I know there's a lot more to it than basketball.
I now feel like I'm going back to where I was, when I was twenty, really twenty. Maybe this is the reason God has brought me back and made me feel the world anew.
I will definitely cherish it, there are still many things to do in the future, and I may not have that much time to come back often. You can't blame me, do you?
Everything is fine at home, my dad drinks a little wine every day, watches TV, and relaxes. My mother still takes care of her chickens and vegetable patches every day.
Everyone is happy, you should also find your own happiness, live your own happy life, and don't worry about it here. Leave it to me, I've been hurt twice and I'm stronger than ever.
We all have our own lives, we can't always live in the past, but also in the future.
Goodbye, little Xiao Mu! ”
Xiao Mu didn't stay any longer, he turned around and strode back, without looking back.
After that, Xiao Mu was at home to accompany Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao. When I get up in the morning, I still run without moving. After exercising in the morning, I went to the old house to accompany Xu Lanqing. Chop the chicken vegetables, water the vegetables, and clean up the chicken coop...... While Xu Lanqing was cooking, Xiao Mu secretly took a few freshly laid eggs, found a hand towel to wrap them, and put them in the bag. After accompanying Xu Lanqing to finish eating, Xiao Mu cleaned up and sent food to Lao Xiao.
Lao Xiao was really happy to see that Xiao Mu was coming to deliver food, "Come, son, will you still sell meat?" This is our ancestral craft, but it's a pity that your kid will be broken. ”
Xiao Mu looked at Lao Xiao stunned, "My grandfather also kills cattle and sells meat?" ”
"Your grandfather was a farmer."
"How did it become an ancestral heirloom?"
"I originally planned to start with me, but it didn't work out."
"Come on, you're thinking too much, let's eat well."
Old Xiao Lehe went to eat, Xiao Mu picked up the knife and pretended to sell meat. While Lao Xiao was not paying attention, he took a piece of meat as a knife, and then quickly packed it into his backpack.
After Lao Xiao finished eating, Xiao Mu chatted with him for a while, and the passers-by who sold vegetables, fruits, and tofu around him shouted, "Old Xiao, is your son back?" This young man is really good. ”
At noon, Lao Xiao's mouth cramped happily.
Xiao Mu returned to the building, changed his clothes, and picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, chattering and falling with his hands. After a while, the gluttonous meal after a long absence.
No matter how delicious the Northeast restaurant is, there is no fresh beef just killed in the morning and fresh eggs just laid in the morning! Xiao Mu closed his eyes and enjoyed it slowly.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Gu Yihuai's voice came from there, "What are you doing?" ”
"Eat something delicious." After Xiao Mu finished speaking, he sighed.
"How are you eating, what time is it?"
"Hehe, I'm here for a private dinner."
"No, you thief, I'm going to tell Auntie."
"I'm not bragging with you, the cow that Lao Xiao killed is really good, much more tender than the Northeast restaurant. Hey, are you calling? ”
"It's okay, you continue, don't disturb your old man's meal."
"Something else, talk about two catties of beef!"
"No, I don't have to watch it, I can't stand it, I still eat at night."
"You've been following me to watch me eat for a year, and you haven't gotten used to it?"
"I'm sorry, I can't get used to it, it's good to be alive. Keep going, bye-bye! ”
Before Xiao Mu could speak, he heard a busy sound in the headphones. He put down his phone and continued to savor it slowly. I must have a good meal on this holiday, and I don't know how long it will take to enjoy it in the future.
Happiness is the catalyst of time, and before you know it, it's time for school to start again.
When they left, Xu Lanqing and Lao Xiao were no longer as inseparable as the first time they saw them off. A family of three chatted at the station, and when the ticket inspector began to release people, Xiao Mu waved goodbye to his parents and embarked on the journey again.
