Volume II, Chapter 5: Homecoming
In the silence of the platform, there was a long whistle. Then, a violent light pierced through the night and illuminated the entire platform. With the sound of rolling iron wheels, a black train drove into the station and slowly stopped.
Lin Peng, wrapped in a black casual coat and carrying a suitcase, walked out of the car with the crowd.
At night, the platform is slightly cool, and the air is filled with the scent of plants and earth. Lin Peng closed his eyes, turned his head, and took a deep breath. A cool air rushed into his nose and throat with the air current, and suddenly flowed all over his body, making people feel through!
"I'm finally back!"
Feeling this familiar atmosphere, Lin Peng exhaled deeply, stretched out his arms and stretched out his waist, with a long-lost expression. I remember that on the day I took the train to school at the beginning of school, my parents saw me off here. Now that a semester has passed, Lin Peng is standing on this platform again. Looking back on the bits and pieces of that day, it seems as if it was just yesterday, and I remember it vividly.
"Give Daddy a call!"
Lin Peng picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lin Xiao's number.
"Hello?"
The number was connected, and a middle-aged man's magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone. It seems to have magical powers, and it gives people a very calm feeling. As soon as people hear it, their hearts are steady.
"Hey, Dad, I'm here, where are you?"
"Oh, here we are, your mom and I are at the exit of the train station!"
"Okay! I'll be right here!"
Lin Peng hung up the phone, put on his suitcase, his face bloomed with happiness, and he walked towards the platform with a smile. I haven't seen each other for a while, and he really misses his father and mother a little!
"Peng'er!"
When I came to the exit, I saw a middle-aged man in a blue tunic beckoning to Lin Peng.
"Hey, Dad!"
Lin Peng also raised his arm, waved his hand, and responded with a smile.
Dad's eyes are still so good!
Lin Peng smiled, couldn't wait to squeeze out of the crowd, and hugged his parents in his arms!
"Mom, Dad, I miss you guys!"
"Mom and Dad miss you too! It's the first time I've been out of the door so far. Your dad and I have been waiting here for a long time, and we can't wait for the left or the right. We're dying!"
The mother touched Lin Peng's hand with a relieved expression.
"Didn't you ask you to wait for me in the car?"
"Hey, don't you know your mother? ”
Lin Xiao looked at Lin Peng with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.
"You're a dead ghost! Talk as if you're not in a hurry! I've smoked several cigarettes!"
Mother glanced at Lin Xiao and said with disgust.
"Dad, you're smoking again?"
Lin Peng said with some surprise that his father had quit smoking since he was in high school, but he didn't expect to start smoking again now.
"Hey~ just smoke occasionally. ”
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said.
"Come on! Let Mom take a closer look! Have you lost weight!"
The mother looked at Lin Peng lovingly, as if she could never get enough.
"I'm not thin! I'm fat. ”
Lin Peng said with a smile.
"Well, it's long and strong. ”
Lin Xiao patted Lin Peng's arm and nodded with a smile.
"Let's go! Let's go to the car first! It's cold outside, I'll go eat something later!"
Lin Xiao took the luggage in Lin Peng's hand and reminded.
"Okay! I'll take it myself! Dad!"
Lin Peng dragged his luggage with one hand and his mother with the other, and got into the car with a smile.
The city is not very far from Lin Peng's hometown, about more than an hour away. Lin Xiao used to come to the city to talk about some medicinal herb business, so the way home from the city was still familiar. In the car, Lin Peng also opened the conversation all of a sudden, and chatted with his mother and father enthusiastically. I heard my mother say that the family's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and my father plans to open a new pharmacy in the city, and the family's business is going to be taken care of by a few uncles.
"Dad, you can! so quickly put our Lin family's brand in the city!"
Lin Peng said with admiration. Lin Xiao is different from his father. Lin Peng's grandfather is an authentic old Chinese medicine doctor, and he is also a very duty-abiding person, who spends his whole life specializing in medical skills, not seeking to get rich, but only to be able to go further and further on the road of medical skills. Relying on his own skills, he benefits one party, and his colleagues also support this big family.
Lin Peng's father is a very business-minded person. He understands that his family has many very unique aspects of Chinese medicine, and there are many talents in Chinese medicine in his family, so why can't he use and integrate these resources to make the family stronger?
"I've had this idea for a long time, but your grandfather has always disagreed. Your grandfather has been to the farthest place in his life, which is this small urban area, and he wants to guard that one acre and three points of land and pass it on from generation to generation. Because he thinks that there are roots there, how to know the roots, and they can live a stable life. But I don't think so, you are also admitted to university now, and I don't want you to stay in that small village for the rest of your life like your father. You are going to go to a big city to develop in the future, and you have to go out of the Lin family. Let people outside also know about the Lin family's medical skills, and spread it. For this reason, what I have to do now is to pave the way for you, first of all, the first step is to revitalize this medicine hall! ”
Lin Xiao was driving the car while talking to Lin Peng, and his words revealed his deep love and expectations for his son!
"Dad, your chess game is so big! why are you trying to make your 'Lin's Medicine Hall' the same as 'Baozhilin' and 'Tongrentang'!"
Lin Peng listened to his father's blueprint and couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, then it depends on your ability! Your dad can only do this in his life!"
Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay! Look at the braggath of you two guys, it's getting more and more outrageous!"
Although my mother is hurting us with her mouth, her face is still beautiful. It is estimated that when she fell in love at the beginning, she was also attracted by this trait in her father.
