He received a message from his father that a grandmother in his neighborhood had passed away and that he needed to go back to pay his respects, and he agreed.

The father and son set off early the next morning, about 60km away, and have never been back since last year's Qingming Festival, after all, everyone is very busy, and they can only have nostalgia for their hometown.

He is no stranger to his hometown, when he was a child, he needed to spend the New Year in his hometown every year, and later he finished college in this city, which is also very familiar, the two of them went to a very famous breakfast stall, ordered two porridge and soaked mutton, and his father habitually put the mutton in his bowl into his bowl, he was stunned and smiled......

When I was a child, my family was financially constrained, and I could only eat such breakfast once a week, and every time my father asked him to eat more mutton, now that the living conditions are better, my father's habits have not changed.

He poured the meat back as it was, and said impatiently, "I'm not a child anymore, and I don't need nourishment anymore!" My father was embarrassed to eat and said, "I'm old, and it's easy to stuff my teeth when I eat meat." ”…………

On the way back to his hometown, he talked to his father about his thoughts, wanted to listen to his father's advice and understanding, and hoped to find improvements through his father's experience.

When he got home, all his elders had arrived, and he went with his father to the neighbor's house to kowtow and listen to the elders tell the story of his family's relationship with the neighbor's family. Tracing back to the history of his grandfather's generation, it is true that the two families are related by blood, but later, with the many children and the poor economic conditions, there is no contact between the younger generations.

When the family greeted his father in turn, he didn't know anyone, and his father didn't plan to introduce him, so he walked away......

He wandered around the village alone, and met his childhood friend from childhood, now a mother of two children, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, and he politely stepped forward to greet him, who was busy watching his two children play, and ignored him, but fortunately her brother came forward to greet him, so that he was saved from being embarrassed......

He drove out of the village angrily, wanted to go to the county town for a walk, and felt very stuffy in his heart, the original distance can really open the relationship between two people, it turns out that time can really wipe out the former friendship, although he was not born here since he was a child, here has always been regarded as his second hometown, I didn't expect to be ignored today as if it were a fiction......

He has a lot of affection for three places in the city, one is the school, one is the hometown, and the other is the shopping street. He came to the more familiar commercial street, parked his car casually on the side of the road, and shuttled through the people, trying to eliminate the unhappiness in his heart, but to his surprise, the few storefronts where he went out to play with friends in college were gone......

He smiled coldly, as if he understood something, human affection is warm and cold, right and wrong, good and evil, nothing is eternal, even if he still maintains his nostalgia for the past, the innocent yearning for childhood, those feelings have long been wiped out in the long river of years, the most unreliable is human nature, the most elusive is the human heart......
