Chapter 014: How did you know each other at the beginning

The day of going home has come. After getting up in the morning and packing my luggage, I made an appointment with Xu Zhekai for lunch. It was still early, and I couldn't help but be stunned while I waited in my dorm.

I've never had such mixed feelings about going home. When I was in elementary school, I always ran home after school to do my homework, then watched cartoons, flipped through books, chatted with my parents and went to bed. In this regard, the neighbor Aunt Hu is very envious, his son Sun Hechen is two years younger than me, as soon as school is over, I don't know where to go crazy, often come back very late, sometimes it is too late Aunt Hu and Uncle Sun will go out to look for it.

When chatting, Aunt Hu would always ask my mother enviously how she educated her, and the original words were, "Look at your family, you look good and study well, go home after school, and worry less." How did you and Lao Shen educate? Whenever this happens, my mom always laughs and says, "My family is in the nest." โ€

Knowing me Mo Ruomu, from childhood to adulthood, the more familiar people I am, the more I scare, and in front of strangers I am usually polite and cowardly. My father, Comrade Lao Shen, once brilliantly described it as "the relationship between the enemy and ourselves is good, and the relationship between the masses is tense. In fact, most people are like this, they are always used to leaving the vulnerable and bad side to the people closest to them, and they are restrained and justified in front of outsiders.

When I got home late every day, my mother would always wait for me to come back and give me a late night snack such as hot milk or wontons, and then bring out the washed fruit. Then go to bed.

Ever since I was a child, I have always loved to go home, and I feel that it is the source of my strength, and I am like Antey in Greek mythology, and my home is my earth.

In another time and space, I didn't have many opportunities to go back to my hometown after joining the work, and my retired mother would often come to visit me and live with me in this city for a while. But whenever he comes over on a business trip, he always takes me to eat delicious food, just like when he was a child. Later, for convenience, my parents bought a house on the outskirts of the city, which not only gave me time to myself, but also made it easier for me to meet, and I thought about it very thoughtfully. I think the biggest reason why I am attached to my family is love, my parents love each other, and the three of us love each other, so I feel very lucky.

But this time, what will happen when I return to my hometown during winter vacation? Are Mom and Dad still as young as they were ten years ago? Or have my planes changed, but they haven't? I've been calling and texting them a lot, just like I was when I was in college, but I'm not sure what it's like to see real people, and I don't know how I'm going to be in front of them.

Therefore, it was not all because of Xu Zhekai that I went back a few days late during the winter vacation, but also because I was not mentally prepared. But, after all, I have to go back. No matter what, it is also my parents, Xu Zhekai and I can continue to have a new edge, not to mention my beloved parents. I kept cheering myself up.

The ticket home was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and after lunch with Xu Zhekai, we went back to bed and took our luggage, and we set off for the train station.

I was the last to go to our bed, Liu Jia, who was supposed to go with me, found another female companion and left the day before yesterday, and now he is living a happy life like a pig, Yu Han left yesterday, she and Li Ran's home are in the same direction, Li Ran can accompany her to do a car, Xiaoru and Jiang An are more special, Jiang An first accompanied Xiaoru back to Xuzhou's hometown to stay for a period of time, before the Chinese New Year, Xiaoru went to Qingdao with Jiang An to meet Jiang An's parents, and the speed of this love is also more than super rocket.

Xu Zhekai bought me a big bag of snacks, potato chips, cola, yakult, biscuits, chocolate, and various fruits. I didn't know that I thought I was going to take a train for a week, but I was there early the next morning. But Xu Zhekai said that he was afraid that others would eat it, and I looked greedy. Everyone judges what image I have in his mind.

Reluctantly said goodbye all the way, and we still waved goodbye at the entrance of the pit stop. Outside the crowd, Xu Zhekai was reluctant to leave, he said that he wanted to see me leave before leaving. I laughed at him as if he was parting with life and death, but looking at him standing there, I suddenly felt a little worried, afraid that if this train sat down, I would really go back to another time and space, and I would never see him again. Before going through the ticket gate, I took out my phone and sent him a text message: "Xu Zhekai, I love you." Wait for me to come back. โ€

After reading the text message, Xu Zhekai looked up at me again and smiled. Hopefully, I'll be back on schedule.

In time for the winter vacation, there were a lot of people in the car, and I bought a soft sleeper lower berth, which was more comfortable.

After putting away my luggage, I sat on the bunk and read "Love in the Time of Cholera" with me, the books I started reading before the exam, Mรกrquez's books were very long, I could only read a few pages a day, and I read a small half of the book intermittently, and the more I looked back, the more I was amazed by his ideas and writing.

Opposite me was a small couple sitting on the lower bunk, whispering in a whisper. The girl was very petite and fair-skinned, and she leaned into the boy's arms, always with a sweet smile on her face. The boy was dark-skinned and looked very energetic.

Looking at them, I can't help but recall that in the past time and space, every time I go home during the winter and summer vacations, I can see similar scenes, and I suddenly want to know how many of the couples I have seen in the past have been able to walk into the palace of marriage hand in hand, and how many of them have maintained the love of their student days. When I was in it, I always felt that the beauty in front of me was enough, but when I was outside, I finally understood that it was not difficult to have it compared to the eternity.

After I became a university teacher, I also witnessed the love of many young boys and girls on college campuses. It's good to be young, love is love, you can not think about whether you are separated, you can temporarily ignore the cruelty of reality, the college campus provides a paradise for all boys and girls to love, "I don't know if I am a guest in my dream, and I am greedy for joy." "I have also witnessed many breakup scenes on campus during the graduation season, and I am resolute and reluctant, and finally say goodbye. I know that the breakups in graduation season are not all so decent, and for some people they are even relieved to get rid of, but I still have wishful thinking that their love is real, even if it is over, it is true.

Just as my thoughts were flying, Xu Zhekai called, I sighed lightly and pressed the answer button. Xu Zhekai's voice was more magnetic and a little lazy on the phone, and he said, he went back to his grandfather's house, lying on the sofa, as if he could feel my breath. I laughed at him for hallucinating. We chatted with each other until the phone was almost out of battery.

When it comes to mobile phones, it's really one of the most wanted to complain about the problems that have crossed over. Slide covers, buttons, pixel scum, no power bank, only replacement batteries, no various apps, especially without WeChat, you can't make video calls. I can't help but feel that the people who have loved each other all their lives in the past are really true love.

After changing the battery, my mother called and asked me what time I got in the car, why the phone kept not working, and I made up a reason to prevaricate back. I haven't told my parents about my relationship. After my mother explained a few words to pay attention to safety, my father's happy voice came from the phone, and he said, "My little lover is finally coming back, and my father will pick you up at the station tomorrow morning." I laughed and said yes.

After putting down the phone, my mind was much calmer. The feeling of coming home every time I go home for the holidays is gradually coming back. In the four years of college, every time I left or went back, I would have similar conversations, and after I went to work, every time I flew to various places, my parents' phone calls would always come when I landed. No matter how old I am, I'm their baby.

I still remember when I was in elementary school, I asked my father why he named me "Yiyi", and my father said, "Your mother hopes that our family will always be each other's only support." "When I grew up, when I was in high school, my mother said in a casual conversation that in fact, in addition to hoping that the family would rely on each other, I also hoped that even if they were gone, there would be an excellent other half to rely on.

Since I was a child, male and female classmates get along very well, and can also grasp the scale of interaction with male classmates, my parents have never worried about my problems in this regard, but Aunt Hu on the other side of the door always said to my mother mysteriously, "Your family is good-looking, and you have to watch it tightly." โ€

When my mother came home and talked to me and my father about this with a smile, I always gritted my teeth and said, "You better let her take a good look at their family Sun Hechen, two days ago, the two girls in their class were going to duel because of him." The father said, "I don't worry about my precious daughter, I have a good eye, I don't know where my son-in-law is, but I am definitely not in this group of stinky boys around me now." โ€

The lethality of this sentence is too strong, I don't really look down on the stupid male classmates around me, but now I have more reason to believe that they are indeed stinky boys who have not dried up, and I don't know where my confidence in this yellow-haired girl who is also stinky and undried comes from.

Outside the car window, the sky darkens, and the character of the city fades away, replaced by low houses or a sudden wilderness. Every time I take the train, I feel that no matter what kind of wasteland, there will be one or two low houses, and I will wonder what kind of people the owners of the houses are, why they live here, and what kind of life they live. Every time I feel more and more that life is wonderful, I am born as a human being, and maybe I have passed by, but it is amazing that everyone still has a unique life.

As the night wore on, the lights in the carriage dimmed. The boy slept on the top bunk, and lowered his arm to hold the girl's outstretched hand, and it took a long time to let go. I smile in the dark, and the little couple in love always does these silly things that seem strange to outsiders, but still enjoy it.

Before falling asleep, I sent a text message to Xu Zhekai: If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight. Little poplar, good night. After a minute, my phone screen lit up:

"I knew it was so stumbling, why didn't I know each other at the beginning. Good night, baby. โ€
