181 Go home
I stayed with my parents in my hometown in Changdong County for a few days. Because it's not where I grew up, and I don't have any friends, friends, or anything like that, I don't have much to do after the New Year. Dad was very interested, and finally came back, so naturally he wanted to visit more relatives, and Mom had to accompany him. I'm not a kid anymore, I don't want to be a sidekick, and people won't give me red envelopes, so I stay at home and watch TV to pass the time.
At eight o'clock in the evening, it's the fixed cartoon time. I let him out of the porcelain vase, turned on the TV, found a children's channel that was playing cartoons and let him watch it by himself, while I lay on the sofa and played with my phone.
Half an hour later, before the cartoon was over, Didiu turned off the TV by himself and came to tell me not to watch it. I was playing a game, so I said to him, "It's okay, you can watch it for a while, anyway, no one is competing with you to watch the TV now." ”
Didiu shook his head and said, "No! Mom said that children can only watch TV for half an hour a day, otherwise they will be blind! ”
I laughed and said, "You're still a good baby, aren't you?" Quite listen to your mother! But don't worry, you can't be blind now, you just finish watching the cartoon just now, and I'll remind you later. ”
Didiu tilted his head and asked me, "Dad, aren't cartoons gone after half past eight?" "This little guy is very dependent on me, and he always calls me that, and I don't bother to correct it, and no one else hears it anyway.
I was in the middle of a fierce battle in my hands, so I replied casually: "There are many TV stations now, and there are channels that broadcast cartoons at any time, so you can watch them all day long!" ”
"Oh!" Ignoring it, he just sat and watched me play.
But I myself was excited, as if I suddenly thought of something, and I stopped playing the game, so I threw my phone aside and asked Didiu: "Which cartoon did you watch before?" ”
Diu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
I didn't give up, turned on the TV again, pointed to the sign in the upper left corner and asked him, "You should remember this sign, right?" ”
"Not this."
"Where's this?"
"Not really."
"This?"
I changed several stations in a row, pointing to the station signs one by one and asking if I lost them. Finally, after changing dozens of channels, Di Di nodded and said, "This is it!" ”
As soon as I looked, the channel had already started broadcasting serials. However, this station logo is also very new to me, I seem to have seen it, but I can't remember which TV station's logo. So, I went online to check again, and only then did I find out that it was the logo of the Qiongning County TV station next to Changdong County.
"Could it be that his home is in Qiongning County?" I was a little excited, and I finally got some clues about helping Didiu find a home.
I continued to use my mobile phone to look for photos of the Qiongning County TV station building, but I couldn't find it. Presumably, the TV station in such a small county has no business, and only a few counties and cities around it can watch its programs.
I was checking it, and in the middle of the TV series, an advertisement was inserted in the middle of the broadcast. She didn't understand what I was doing, so she sat on the couch and watched the TV screen. After a few commercials in a row, there is another movie commercial, which is about to be released as a blockbuster.
Suddenly, he pointed to the TV screen and exclaimed, "I've been to this place!" ”
I hurriedly put down my phone to look. It turned out that this movie advertisement was not placed by the distribution company, but by the local movie theater to attract people to watch the movie.
"Your mom and dad took you there to see a movie?" I ran to Didiu's side and asked him very seriously.
Di Di also nodded seriously and said, "Hmm! Also to watch cartoons! ”
I was overjoyed and asked him, "Lost and lost, will I take you to your house tomorrow?" ”
"Okay!" Diu exclaimed happily.
The next day, I said to my parents and jumped on the bus to Qiongning County. The county seat of Qiongning is not far from Changdong County, and it takes two hours to get there. I stopped a motorcycle as soon as I got out of the station and told the driver that I was going to the county TV station. Taxis are generally not available in small counties like this, and motorcycles have replaced the role of taxis.
But when the driver's brother heard this, he shook his head and said that he didn't know where the TV station was. I was surprised, "Don't you have a TV station here?" I've seen it all on TV! ”
The eldest brother said: "There is a TV channel, but we have never seen where the TV station building is." ”
I scratched my head and thought to myself, how could there be such a thing? So, I asked him again, "Do you have a tall building here with a signal tower on it?" ”
When the eldest brother heard this, he exclaimed: "Oh, the tallest building we have here is the county ** building, and there is indeed a tower on it!" ”
I hurriedly said: "Then maybe the TV station is there, take me to see it!" ”
"Great! It's close! As soon as the driver of the motorcycle twisted the accelerator, he pulled me to the direction of the county **.
Sure enough, the county ** building is really tall, about fifteen floors, at least in this small county town, it is already the tallest building. There's also a signal tower or something like that on the roof, and the whole building looks really recognizable, so it's no wonder that you don't remember anything, you just remember this building.
I took out my mobile phone and opened the map navigation, and found that most of the buildings are surrounded by some public facilities and institutions, such as parks, markets, hospitals, stations, etc. The nearest residential area is in the north, with a straight-line distance of about 200 meters, and the county ** building should still be visible. So, I asked the driver's brother to pull me over there, and then found a place to stay by myself, and waited for it to be thrown out after dark.
This residential area cannot be considered a residential area, it is obviously an old dormitory area of a former unit, and the buildings are not high, at most two floors. I walked around the neighborhood for a while, and I had a rough idea of what was going on. Given the limited memory of Didiu, I decided to start looking for a nearby vacant lot, where there were some recreational facilities and many parents and elderly people brought their children to play.
It was still winter in February, and it got dark early, and at half past seven in the evening, I let it go. As soon as he came out, he looked at the scenery around him in a daze, then ran to the slide and slipped and rode on the seesaw.
I asked him, "Do you remember here?" ”
"Hmm!" Didiu nodded affirmatively.
"You used to come here a lot?"
"Hmm!"
"Do you remember the way from here to your house?"
"Hmm!"
"Then go ahead! Let's go home! ”
Diu jumped off the seesaw and trotted all the way to the residential area. He wasn't running too fast, and he had to look left and right at every turn to make sure he made a choice, so I could keep up with him. After walking like this for less than ten minutes, he stopped and stared blankly at a house.
It was a small two-story building, the upper floor was dark, and the people on the first floor were having dinner at this time, and a few baby cries could be heard inside. I asked Didiu, "Is this your home?" ”
Didiu nodded silently, but stopped. I knew what he was afraid of, so I whispered in his ear, "Go ahead! It doesn't matter if your mom and dad are still in there or not, you always have to go in and have a look. I'll be waiting for you outside. ”
Dius hesitantly walked to the door and looked back at me, and I smiled and gestured to him to go in to encourage him. Didiu turned his head and slipped through the crack in the door. I crept out the window and peered through the screen.
A man and a woman are sitting at the dining table eating, and a baby who looks to be under age is placed in a baby chair and coaxed by the mother to feed rice porridge. But the baby is very naughty, refuses to eat honestly, and occasionally cries twice. Dad had no choice but to sit aside and hold a toy in his hand to attract the baby's attention and cooperate with the mother to feed the porridge.
After throwing it in, he just glanced at the couple and immediately burst into tears. He ran over and jumped on top of his mother, hugged her neck, and shouted desperately, "Mom! Mom! ”
But his mother didn't even realize his existence and was still preoccupied with feeding her other baby. Lost and hung on his mother for a while, cried for a while, and when he saw that his mother ignored him, he climbed on top of his father again, and shouted with a snot and tears on his face: "Dad! Father! Wow! ”
When I saw this, I couldn't help but moisten my eyes and feel sorry for the loss. Although he found a home and found his parents, at this time it was already yin and yang, and people and ghosts had different paths. No matter how much he cries, his parents can't see him or touch him. In the same way, I can't let Didiu stay in this family like this, otherwise yin and yang will clash with each other, and it will be a kind of torture and injury to Didiu and the new family of three.
However, Di Di cried inside for a while, and when he saw that his parents really couldn't see him, he had to sobbed and got off them, and walked out of the door in a lost place.
I said to him, "Do you see that little baby?" You've got younger siblings! ”
Didiu nodded silently, his nose was still twitching, and he looked very aggrieved.
"I've fulfilled your wish to send you home, are you willing to go now?" I asked softly.
Diu looked at me, then turned to look at his home, and then said to me, "It's almost eight o'clock, and I want to watch the last cartoon in my own house!" ”
I nodded and said, "Well, then you can go and see!" ”
Diudiu's steps became a little lighter, and he walked back to his room, sat down on the sofa he knew most and liked best, and naturally picked up the remote control. As soon as the TV was turned on, the current channel was the Qiongning County TV station he watched most often, and advertisements were playing in it.
"What's going on?" The parents turned their heads in surprise and couldn't understand why the TV had suddenly turned on on its own. But before they could come to their senses, as soon as the commercial ended, the cartoons began to play on the TV.
"Hey, hey! Hey! ”
The little baby in the baby chair smiled, he
She was also watching cartoons and was fascinated by the cartoon characters in them. Lost on the sofa, he also laughed happily from time to time with the funny plot in the cartoon. The parents of the lost were staring at the TV in a daze, silent for a while, and finally they both cried together.
"If only Peng Peng was still here......" Dad sighed.
"I don't know if you remember," Mom said as she wiped her tears, "Today happens to be Peng Peng's birthday, and if he is still alive, he will be six years old." ”
"How could I not remember? I'm just afraid that you will be sad, so I deliberately didn't mention it. ”
"Actually, if the people from the Public Security Bureau don't tell us the news that he is in the provincial capital, we won't admit it...... It's okay, I still have a concern in my heart, and I will always think that he is still alive. ”
"Well, what's the use of saying this now? If you want to blame me, I didn't pay attention when I took him out to play that day, and let people kidnap him! ”
"You've said it yourself, it's useless to say more, don't mention this matter again. Fortunately, we now have Xiaoying again, you see her, she likes to watch cartoons just like her brother. ”
"Well, what kid doesn't like to watch cartoons?"
"However, only Peng Peng is so obedient, only at eight o'clock in the evening this time to turn on the TV to watch for half an hour, and then turn it off himself."
"Perhaps, tonight is Peng Peng's own return......"
"Peng Peng, is that you? Is that the TV you on? ”
"It's me!" Peng Peng jumped up from the sofa and said loudly. But his parents still couldn't see him and couldn't hear his answers. He turned his head again and shouted at me outside the window, "So my name is 'Peng Peng'!" I don't call it Diudi! I'm Peng Peng! ”
I couldn't make a sound, so I smiled at him and nodded, feeling happy for him.
"Hey, hey! Hey! Peng Peng's sister Xiaoying couldn't understand her parents' words at all, and she couldn't see her brother's existence, she was still engrossed in watching TV, laughing constantly, dancing, and her little face looked very cute.
When Peng Peng's father saw it, he said, "Then let her watch it for a while, and you can finish feeding the meal quickly." When the mother heard this, she wiped away her tears and continued to feed the baby. With the attraction of cartoons, the baby quickly finished eating the rice porridge for one night.
After the rice porridge was drunk, the wall clock on the wall also went to half past eight, and the cartoon on TV ended on time. Peng Peng obediently picked up the remote control again and turned off the TV. Peng Peng's parents looked at each other again and nodded to each other, as if they both believed that their son had returned, and they didn't look flustered or surprised at all.
"Alright, it's time for the baby to take a shower!" The mother picked up the baby from the baby chair and walked to the bathroom. Dad began to clean up the table.
Peng Peng got up from the couch and turned around and waved at me. I understood that he was going to say "goodbye" to me, so I waved at him outside the window. With a satisfied smile, Peng Peng's resentment on his body began to dissipate, slowly turning into a phantom, and finally turning into stars and scattered on the ground. At least from this ending, he finally stayed in his home forever and could no longer "lose" it.
