"I'm back, why did you come back so late today?" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded in Qin Qingtong's ears, pretending to be calm, but faintly hiding imperceptible worries.

Qin Qingtong's nose was sour, and the tears in his eyes came out all of a sudden, and he didn't have time to wipe away the big tears, so he quickly turned his voice around and rushed towards the voice,

"Mom,", Qin Qingtong hugged the woman tightly, buried his face in the woman's body, and grabbed the person with both hands as if he was going to use all his strength,

The woman was stunned, just for a moment, a pair of thick palms covered with countless cocoons and vicissitudes of life, gently patted Qin Qingtong's back,

"It's just going out to work, how can it be like some kind of life and death parting?"

The woman's voice was slightly reproachful, more distressed and sad, Qin Qingtong's body stiffened, with a little coquettishness,

"I just miss you, it's not impossible."

Even if Qin Qingtong used all his strength to cover it up, he still couldn't cover the trembling and fear in his voice, and the loss was restored, more of the despair and sadness that he couldn't ask for.

"I didn't say a word about how I came back, I knew you were coming back, so I went to the street to buy some vegetables and came back, you see that you have lost weight, and I don't know what you eat outside every day, you are as thin as a bamboo pole."

The woman took Qin Qingtong and looked at her with disgust, and pulled the person into the house with distress, as if she didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Qin Qingtong blinked, his eyes kept following the woman closely, and he followed the woman step by step, but as soon as his foot touched the threshold, Qin Qingtong stood up all of a sudden.

A pair of watery eyes hidden pain and sorrow, the woman took two steps, found that she couldn't pull the person behind her, and muttered two words, so she immediately turned around and looked at Qin Qingtong.

Facing the woman's puzzled gaze, Qin Qingtong suddenly couldn't help it, and the woman took her hand, but she cried so darkly.

The woman was frightened enough by Qin Qingtong, and hurriedly coaxed people, but it was okay if she didn't coax, and Qin Qingtong's tears were like floods that had opened the floodgates, and the momentum was violent, not giving people the slightest chance to react.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, did you encounter something outside, tell your mom okay?"

The anxiety and worry on the woman's face were not fake at all, a pair of calloused hands wanted to wipe Qin Qingtong's face, but the rough hands only wiped it twice, and Qin Qingtong's face was a red mark, which made people feel even more distressed.

Qin Qingtong didn't feel it at all, he only felt that these hands that were not good-looking at all were extremely warm, and he was reluctant to leave at all, and the whole person was on it.

"No, it's good outside, I just want to eat fried pork with scallion."

The woman's eyes were full of distress, but she still didn't say a word of debunking, but quickly nodded in response.

"Isn't it just fried meat with scallion, it's also worth your way, and the hair at home also grows well,"

As soon as the woman spoke, Qin Qingtong couldn't help but answer, "That's steaming a lettuce, it's delicious." ”

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, Qin Qingtong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and reached out to hold the woman's hand.

"Mom, I haven't eaten for a long time, the things in the house are delicious, and the things outside are expensive and not delicious, you bring the lotus out, will I wash it?"

The woman reached out and touched the back of Qin Qingtong's head, nodded with a smile, and the moment she turned around, two lines of clear tears slid directly down her cheeks, and she didn't have time to reach out to wipe the tears off her face, and as soon as she took the wrong step, she walked towards the slightly dimly lit room.

Qin Qingtong looked at the figure in the room, big tears kept falling, stretched out his hand, but he couldn't reach anything, his feet were lifted and raised, after all, he still didn't cross the low threshold, he just cried and laughed, raised his head, and poured back big tears.

When the woman came out with a basin, there was no trace on Qin Qingtong's face, only a bright and bright smile.

The woman's worried gaze faded away, replaced with a satisfied look, and in the aluminum basin in her hand, there was a half-pot of red roots, with a faint amount of dirt and fly ash on the red roots, just like Qin Qingtong's heart that had dried up but hid the unyielding life force.

"Okay, if you don't eat it, you want to eat some potatoes a day, and I don't know how long your mouth is."

Although the woman's mouth was chattering with disgust, but the happiness hidden between her eyebrows could not be faked at all, Qin Qingtong just smiled with tears in her eyes, and stepped forward to snatch the aluminum basin in the woman's hand.

"What's not delicious about the artichoke, my mother is too, people don't come back, you read numb a day, come back, you have to eat your artichoke, you can't be reluctant, I don't know what to do, you are happy."

The woman glanced sideways at Qin Qingtong, who was carrying an aluminum basin to the faucet, and her hands were not idle, "You are eating and foraging, so you have to give it to you to eat, if you want to eat, you can eat nutritious, eat less junk food outside in a day, don't say that you don't get nutrition after eating, you get sick if you eat too much, what's the problem." ”

Qin Qingtong's hand holding the aluminum basin stiffened, and she almost threw it out with the basin, and hurriedly put the aluminum basin under the faucet, unscrewed the faucet, and the sound of the water kept ringing, only to call her consciousness back.

No matter how much she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide the fact that it was already empty. Qin Qingtong squatted down, and the big tears flowed into the aluminum basin along with the water flowing down from the faucet, and then rolled onto the cement floor with a swagger.

"Mom, bring a pot, no, I'm afraid I'll throw it on the ground after washing it!" Qin Qingtong's choked voice shouted out the majestic mountains and rivers, and the sorrow of missing his relatives.

"Alas, here, what's the big person, do something, it's not a good idea, doing things is never a braincase, either ask this to take this for you, or take a one, I don't know, how you have been outside."

Although the woman's mouth was disgusted, the movements in her hands were not slow at all, but it was a moment of effort, Qin Qingtong's feet set up a pot, and a warm-colored piggyback was placed on the pot, which seemed to be filled with a jar of years of aging, and the deep and shallow wood color was the most common color and the most reassuring color in Qin Qingtong's past years.

One by one, the red buds flew in Qin Qingtong's hands, like clumsy wooden bumps, and like agile fat elves, very cute.

"Qin, Qingtong, big idiot, what are you doing?"

With a puzzled voice, he immediately called Qin Qingtong back.
