It snowed all night last night, and the emperor is very cold today, and he basically doesn't go out if he can stay at home.

Liu Xiaodong didn't want to go out either, but he had to get out of the room today, because the New Year was approaching, he was going to take the southbound train home, he had just handed over the rental house with the landlord, and today was the day he went home, and it was also the day he said goodbye to Beijing.

As a northern drifter, Liu Xiaodong has been in Beijing for six years, but he still doesn't adapt to the cold in the north. Although people say that the winter in the south is colder, Liu Xiaodong feels that the north is cold, probably because he is not accustomed to the water and soil, Liu Xiaodong has not yet integrated into this place that has struggled for six years, and he has not stood out like those successful predecessors.

He is still an unknown ordinary person, living in a cheap rental house, not only to squeeze the subway to work every day, but also to catch the bus, occasionally go to the food stall at night, most of the time he eats instant noodles alone, although he is dressed very chic, but everyone knows that he is only a little bit of poor self-esteem left in the north.

Not long ago, my father called and asked him to stay in his hometown after the New Year and find a girl to marry.

In fact, there are such calls every year, if Liu Xiaodong has just graduated from college, he must scoff at this, his dream is that his life stage is in a first-tier city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and it is definitely not a small town in the south that has no remote high-speed rail.

The first few times he found a reason to refuse his father's proposal, but this time he didn't refute, he calmly agreed, although he still wanted to fight, although he was still very unwilling, although he felt that maybe he could succeed if he persisted a little longer, but his parents were old, and he couldn't be so selfish anymore.

Especially a few days ago, his mother had an operation to remove the tumor, but he didn't go back to take care of it, his aunt called him to scold him, saying that his mother was crying, but he didn't come back.

"Whether you want it or not, it's time to go back."

Maybe this is life, this is the fate of people like them, Liu Xiaodong is unwilling, but there is nothing he can do, he must accept it.

Liu Xiaodong didn't have much to take home, he just had a hiking bag to pack everything in the past six years. He rushed to Beijing West Railway Station, looked at the time, there were still three hours to drive, he smiled helplessly, and had to wander aimlessly with a mountaineering bag on his back.

The West Railway Station was very lively, people came and went, but Liu Xiaodong felt gloomy and dull, he didn't go to the queue to enter the station, looking at the entrance of the station, he was very afraid.

At this time, Liu Xiaodong knew that he had the courage to be alone in Beijing, but he didn't have the courage to go home to face his parents who were worried about him, he wanted to mix in Beijing, in the final analysis, because he wanted to do something to make his parents proud and proud.

Back then, he left with great ambition, but now he has to return empty-handed, worrying his parents and making the neighbors laugh, Liu Xiaodong suddenly felt ashamed, and he walked blankly with the flow of people on the square in front of the station, back and forth.

"Whew!" The sound of the current flow came out, which woke up Liu Xiaodong, he looked up and saw the large screen in front of the square, the "Stephen Chow Special" in the past, turned out to be the picture of CCTV5.

"Good afternoon audience friends, I'm He Wei, in another twenty minutes the 2015 Australian Asian Cup final will begin, I think all the fans and friends must be very excited, after 11 years, the Chinese team once again reached the Asian Cup finals, once again hit the highest honor of Asian football, but now, let's calm down first, please our commentator Gong Lei Gong guide for you to analyze the situation of the Chinese and South Korean teams."

He Shishi's magnetic voice attracted the attention of many people in the square, Liu Xiaodong listened to He Wei's words, and was suddenly surprised, "The Chinese team has entered the finals?" How did I not know? ”

Liu Xiaodong couldn't help but think of the days before, when he went home from work, he was looking for popular movies and American dramas to watch, paying attention to the situation in Syria and Iraq, talking to friends about the three arrows of the Federal Reserve and An Xiaobei, and occasionally watching the Australian Open and the French Open in sports.

As for football, when he was in college, he was the main midfielder of the department, often staying up late to watch games, and the national football team also watched while scolding, but after graduation, he suddenly stopped caring and suddenly blocked many things he loved before.

"I became a person I didn't even like myself."

Liu Xiaodong didn't know why, tears flowed down, he didn't understand what the efforts of the past six years were of any use to his life, he regretted not listening to his father, he regretted not going home early to accompany his parents, he regretted that he became a stranger.

Liu Xiaodong was afraid that others would see it, so he hurriedly wiped his tears, but he couldn't stop wiping them, so he had to lower his head and wipe them covertly.

At this time, Gong Lei finished analyzing the situation of the Chinese and South Korean teams, and also made some advice and expectations for the Chinese team, He Wei continued: "The key to the success of the Chinese team is Li Yun's play, which we want all fans and friends to know, as Gong Gui said, our other positions are at a disadvantage, only Li Yun has a breaking point, Li Yun kicked cool, we may have a chance to win, Li Yun played very depressed, he was suppressed, then needless to say that the game must be more auspicious." ”

"I believe that many people have seen all kinds of revelations about Li Yun, including Li Yun's former colleagues and classmates, as well as teachers and teammates, but Li Yun's family has never been interviewed by any kind, and our reporters have politely rejected many interviews by Li Yun's family, but this time, before such an important game, Li Yun's father, Mr. Li Sheng, finally accepted our interview, the time was very short, a minute, but I still showed it to everyone."

The picture is everything, from the studio to the downstairs of a community, a middle-aged man with a tall body and a serious face appears in front of the camera.

"Hello Mr. Li Sheng, how do you feel when the Chinese team enters the Asian Cup final?"

"I'm very happy." Li Sheng said calmly.

"And what are you expecting?"

"Come on for the Chinese team, strive for the championship."

The reporter smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect Li Sheng to speak so concisely, "Then what do you think of your son, Li Yun, the absolute ace of the Chinese team?" ”

Li Sheng thought for a while, "Xiaoyun was very well-behaved when he was young, but then because of my neglect, he was a little rebellious, but I know that he is a good boy, he has been working hard, and he has always wanted to prove to me and his mother that he is very good, he can be independent, he wants to be our proud person, until now he still has this pressure, I want to say to him, although I am very strict with him, but whether he succeeds or not, his mother and I will always stand by his side, and we will always understand him." ”

Liu Xiaodong looked at Li Sheng on the screen, listened to Li Sheng's words, and couldn't help but think of his parents, and couldn't help crying.
