In order to avoid fatigue driving, for the sake of safety, you have to take a break after driving for a few hours, at noon, passing by Handan, Shi Dayong found a noodle restaurant, and simply hit a point. After a short rest, continue on the road, before dark out of H north, into the H south boundary, Shi Dayong wanted to hurry more, until the night became thicker and thicker, the darkness spread out, Shi Dayong found a small hotel in Puyang to stay.

The bumps of the day, Shi Youtian who nested in the passenger seat became worse and worse, the time to open his eyes became shorter and shorter, and his breath was almost inaudible when he fell asleep, if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't feel the ups and downs of his chest at all, and he scared Sun Xiufang along the way, and stretched out his finger to probe the old man's snort for a while, but fortunately, the warm snort still existed, otherwise Sun Xiufang would collapse immediately.

Shi Dayong is also anxious, his father wants to go home, his father doesn't want to die outside, if he can't achieve his father's small wish, he will definitely regret it in the future, and now he resents himself in his heart, just send his father home two days early.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was white, Shi Dayong embarked on the return journey, his father was like this, he was afraid that his father's soul would be lost on the way, every time he passed by a county and township, Shi Dayong would say to Shi Youtian: "Dad, ** county has arrived." ”

"Dad, ** Township has arrived." Until it went out of H South and entered the east boundary of S.

After entering S East, it will be almost home, Shi Dayong relaxed a little, turned around and said to the sleeping Shi Youtian: "Dad, let's enter S East, we are almost home." ”

No matter how Shi Dayong talked to Shi Youtian before, he didn't respond at all, Shi Dayong thought that his father would still have no reaction after speaking, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Shi Youtian trembled his eyelids and woke up slowly, "It's almost home, okay... Good... It's almost home. ”

"Dad, you're awake."

"Old man, you're awake, you haven't slept much along the way, can you sit up and rest?" Sun Xiufang has been holding Shi Youtian's hand all the way, because the body's metabolism has slowed down, the temperature of Shi Youtian's hand has not been high, and she has been using her body temperature to warm him.

"Huh." Shi Youtian smiled apologetically: "I've slept enough, I'm not sleeping, Yong, you help... Help me to sit up. ”

The husband and wife switched seats, Sun Xiufang sat behind his wife, let Shi Youtian sit in front of him, and let Shi Youtian lean into his arms like a child.

As soon as he entered S East, Shi Youtian's spirit became better and better, and he even began to chat with Sun Xiufangniang intermittently: "Dayong... It's almost time for D to know, Yong, do you remember... No, we were here back then. ”

"yes, yes." Sun Xiufang put her forehead against the top of Shi Youtian's head, and her voice was muffled: "I still remember that we dug a manhole, and our family lives in the manhole." ”

Shi Youtian followed Sun Xiufang's train of thought and suddenly returned to the past, and he missed it with a look on his face: "The land is good, save the rent money." ”

"What's good, it's a pile of lice in it, and the whole family that bites it is full of pimples."

"Really? I don't remember, we weren't big at the time, were we? In your twenties? ”

"It's not big, our third child will just leave."

Shi Youtian sighed: "It's really fast, it's going to be ...... in a blink of an eye" Shi Youtian paused for a moment, and then spit out four words: "It's been a lifetime." ”

The three words of her life aroused Sun Xiufang's tears again, and her voice was slightly choked: "Well, ...... in a blink of an eye"

Shi Dayong listened to the soft words of his parents in his ears, and his eyes were fixed on the front. Soon! Soon! Almost there! After D Ming, after D Tao, I entered C County.

"Dad, mother, let's go to County C!" As soon as he entered the C county boundary, Shi Dayong reported to his parents as soon as possible.

"Really? I'll see! Shi Youtian sat up straight, and there was even light in his cloudy eyes, this is where he was born and raised, this is the homeland of his dreams.

"Okay, okay, I'm going home." He greedily looked at the familiar scene outside the window, the poplars sprinkled with fallen leaves, and the endless crops, every inch made him affectionate.

Closer, I can already see the outline of the village, see the land temple at the entrance of the village, Shi Youtian leaned on the window, pointed to the passing villagers and asked Shi Dayong: "Dayong, this is Eryangzi's house, do you remember, you fought with him when you were a child, but you never fought anyone." ”

Shi Dayong returns to his hometown every year, the people and things when he was a child are still in his heart, how can he not remember, of course he will not sweep his father's luck, and replied immediately: "Remember." ”

L Zhuang is located in the northeast corner of County C, not on the main road, so, all year round the village is rarely a big truck enters, this season, corn has been harvested, winter wheat has also been cultivated, it is the farm, idle men in piles or gather together to brag and chat, or gather to play cards, women are doing needlework and pulling household chores.

The car drove into the village, Shi Dayong slowed down, and from time to time honked the horn to remind pedestrians to pay attention to safety.

Since the eldest brother took his father and mother away, there was no suppression from the boss, the fifth, the sixth and the sixth were like sheep scattered in the circle, scattering joy in the wilderness, and the fifth was even more, as long as there was a card field, there must be him.

"Didi!" Ruisheng, who was immersed in the fact that he was about to win, was startled, he raised his head, and an army-green truck slowly drove in front of him, Wusheng was wondering in his heart, this car came to the village, who did it go to?

"Old Five! Eh, the fifth! Ruimin saw his younger brother sitting on the side of the road and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet Ruisheng.

Following the voice, Rui Sheng's gaze moved up, Fourth Brother, isn't this Fourth Brother: "Fourth Brother!" Ruisheng threw down the cards in his hand, got up, and said in surprise: "Fourth brother, you are back, is your father and mother also back?" Ruisheng knew that the eldest brother was driving outside, and the fourth brother was sitting in the car, needless to say, the eldest brother must be driving.

"Well, Daddy and Big Brother are back."

Ruisheng first trotted a few steps next to the car, and when he heard Ruimin say that he was back, he wanted to hurry home to report the news, thinking of this, he raised his head and shouted to Ruimin: "I'll go home first and tell the second brother them!" As soon as the words fell, the man had already strung several steps away.

The road in the village was narrow, Shi Dayong drove steadily and slowly, and before the car arrived at the door, the brothers had already greeted him.

As soon as Shi Dayong's big truck entered the village, the news had already spread out, and for a while, those who cared about and explored the situation rushed to Shi Youtian's house, and some people who passed by Shi Gengtian's house also shouted outside the door: "Uncle, my second uncle is back, and Brother Dayong drove it back." ”

Shi Gengtian and his wife were threshing corn at home, and heard someone outside shouting that Dayong was back or something, he was old, his ears were a little heavy, he and Zhou Ronghua glanced at each other, and ran out with two big corn cobs on his waist, and when he went to the door, the person who spoke had already run away, and he shouted at the back: "Who is back?" The man didn't hear it, and in a moment he was gone.

Shi Gengtian hurriedly returned to the yard, didn't peel off the stick, threw it directly into the dustpan, and pulled Zhou Ronghua away: "it, go!" Walk! Walk! I heard that the second child is back, hurry up, let's go and see! ”

As soon as my brother left, he was half a year old, and he didn't write to his family, and he didn't know what was going on when he was so seriously ill, and when he was fine, Shi Gengtian read an estimate to his wife and children: I don't know how your second uncle is, whether your second uncle is better, why don't you send a letter from home?

As soon as Shi Dayong parked the car, a large group of people came behind him. Everyone in the township knows each other, Shi Dayong took the initiative to talk to everyone, Ruimin was even more enthusiastic, he jumped out of the car, uncle, uncle, aunt, aunt, sweet mouth makes people wonder if this is still Ruimin? How to go out and even change your temperament.

Finally arrived home, Shi Youtian's spirit became better and better, from the beginning of entering the village, the smile on the old man's face did not stop, and there was even a little flush on his cheeks.

"Dad, mother, you're back." The Ruicheng brothers gathered around the front of the car and greeted their parents in the cab.

Rui Quan pulled the car door open and spoke to his parents in a coquettish tone: "Dad, mother, you are back, you miss me to death." ”

Ruiquan is the youngest child in the family, he has always grown up spoiled, his father and mother are not at home, no one spoils him, there is work to do together, no less at all, there is food to eat together, there is no more mouthful, which is like when his mother is at home, he secretly stuffs some delicious food in his mouth every once in a while, so after his father and mother left, he began to miss his parents, that is really wanting.

Ruiquan opened the car door and waited for his father to get out of the car, but he stood on the pedal and prepared to help his father get out of the car: "Dad, I'll help you." ”

"Six sons." Sun Xiufang poked her head out from behind Shi Youtian: "Your father can't walk the road, so he has to carry it." ”

Dad looks thin, but his face is still good, his cheeks are red and dizzy, how can he not even walk, and his illness is not good? Ruiquan was a little confused and looked at his mother: "Mother, isn't my father's illness cured?" ”

Sun Xiufang shook her head in frustration: "Hmm." ”

"Oh." Ruiquan jumped out of the car and turned around: "Dad, I'll carry you." ”

Dad looks like this, where can he get off in person? Ruiquan was still bent over and waiting there, Shi Dayong sighed, turned to the passenger seat, and shouted: "Sixth son, you pick me up, I'll take my father down, not on my back, you turn around and hug it." ”

"Big brother, I'll come, don't hold the six sons' small arms and thin legs." Rui Cheng pushed away Rui Quan, who was still bending over, and raised his arms.

"Second uncle, you're back."

"Second brother, are you feeling better?"

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone stepped forward to greet each other, they were all villagers who lived together, Shi Youtian smiled and nodded frequently: "Okay, um." He looked at everyone's face, he looked very carefully, everyone's appearance was remembered in his heart, and everyone was so kind.
