Time flies so fast, Ping'er has passed two years in college, promoted to junior year, and came to the summer vacation of July 2, 2005, ready to go home, in the college student apartment, is packing up the belongings to go home, the mobile phone music rings, "Hey, Mom, I have a train ticket at 14:00 this afternoon, and I will be home tomorrow, I am packing my things, rest assured." ”

Lin Wei heard her daughter's voice coming home, and happily replied: "Well, okay, mom will pick you up at the train station tomorrow, you pack up your things, turn off all electrical switches in the room, check it, lock the doors and windows, and see you tomorrow!" I'm going to put the phone down. ”

Lin Wei put down the office phone, leaned back on the chair, enjoyed the happiness of her daughter coming home, and arranged tomorrow's work, she picked up the phone on the table and dialed a few numbers: "Hey, Editor-in-Chief Shen, I will pick up my daughter at the train station tomorrow, but I won't come, and I will call my mobile phone if I have something." ”

Editor-in-chief Shen (Shen Shiying) and Lin Wei graduated from college in the same year and were assigned to work in the Nanjiang Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the two are very friendly, and have established a very deep sisterhood in the work, and they are also partners in the work, last year the two were exactly forty years old, and they were promoted, Shen Shiying was promoted to the post of editor-in-chief of the Literature Department of the Nanjiang City Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and Lin Wei was promoted to the post of chairman of the Nanjiang Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Give it to your baby daughter. ”

"That is, after work today, I was going to go to the farmer's market to buy some dishes that my daughter likes to eat, and I cooked them myself to comfort my daughter, haha...... You can come over tomorrow for dinner, have dinner together, and try my handiwork. When Lin Wei heard that her daughter was coming home, she was overjoyed and invited Editor-in-Chief Shen to share the happiness together.

"Okay, I'm asking your daughter for a blessing and sharing the joy of family, okay, I'll definitely go, Chairman Lin thank you!" You so graciously invited. ”

Shen Shiying put down the phone after speaking, and said to herself: "Chairman Lin, I was very happy to hear that my daughter was coming home, my daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, warming my mother's heart." ”

At half past nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lin Wei arrived at the exit of the railway station thirty minutes ahead of schedule to wait for Ping'er, she carefully looked at the information on the electronic display screen above the exit, and the K288 train from Shanghai to Nanjiang arrived on time and stopped at platform 3.

Lin Wei stood on platform 3 and sent a text message to her daughter: "Ping'er, mom picked you up on the platform, what box are you in?" ”

Lin Pingping saw the text message sent by her mother, and hurriedly replied: "Mom, it's hard work, I'm in the No. 7 car, and I'll be there soon." ”

The K288 train from Shanghai to Nanjiang arrived on time, Lin Wei saw Ping'er coming out of the No. 7 car, very conspicuous, seeing her daughter wearing a blue hakama, a suitcase, a bright and innocent face, white and red, full of youthful beauty, very conspicuous in the crowd, Lin Wei beckoned to her daughter: "Ping'er, mom is here." ”

Lin Wei hurriedly walked to her daughter's side, took the suitcase, and said with a friendly smile: "Ping'er has worked hard, you are wearing this blue hakama, it is so beautiful, so eye-catching." ”

"Mom, I bought this hakama in Shanghai, my classmates all said that I look good in a blue hakama, and I look beautiful in a person, I also bought one with my mother, the same style of violet blue, my mother wears it, it must be not inferior, it must be very bright." Ping'er said with a sweet smile on her face.

Lin Wei saw her sensible and well-behaved daughter, her heart was full of happiness, and she said excitedly: "Thank you, baby daughter, I have my mother in my heart, the journey is hard, hurry home to rest, take a bath, dinner, and my mother comforts my baby daughter." ”

As soon as the mother and daughter left the passenger exit of the train station, Lin Wei saw a familiar figure, and the three of them went straight to the passenger VIP waiting room, wasn't that Zhang Guolin? There is a young man next to him who is the same age as his daughter, and there is a beautiful woman, looking at the beauty who looks very rich, but like a family, talking and laughing, could it be that Zhang Guolin has a home outside his home? A question mark flashed in Lin Wei's mind, and then looked at Ping'er and could she watch this scene? Glad she didn't see it, and wanted to leave quickly, Lin Wei eagerly hailed a taxi, got in the car and said to the driver: "Master, go to the provincial ** compound." ”

In fact, Lin Wei saw the scene just now, and did nothing, which was also expected, as long as her daughter didn't bother to know about it, it was okay, and she quickly forgot in her mind, having her daughter by her side was the greatest happiness in her life, and when she got home, Lin Wei put down her luggage and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Grandma was very happy when she saw Ping's grandson arrive home, and said with a smile: "Ping's grandson, I haven't seen you for a semester, grandma misses you, you are beautiful again, go home to talk to grandma, and tell grandma about the interesting things in college." ”

"Grandma, your health is good, you are an old naughty boy, I am happy to see you, and my grandson also misses you, no, I bought travel shoes for you and grandpa, walking easily, the most suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, now the most popular, and Shanghai pastries, you like to eat the most." Ping's grandson took everything out of the suitcase and put it in her grandmother's hand.

Grandma was holding so many things in her hands, like a child, and said happily: "My grandson is so filial, buying so many things, seeing that you are tired, every time you bring so many things, grandma is distressed." ”

"Grandma, Ping's grandson is not tired, Shanghai is an international metropolis, good food, good clothes, easy to use, everything, to mother, grandma, grandfather, mother-in-law, brother-in-law should bring some, do your best." Ping's grandson has such a grateful heart, knowing that grandma and grandpa love him, and every time he goes home, he will think of his relatives and bring some items to grandma, grandpa, mother, mother, mother-in-law, uncle-in-law, and Dongdong.

"It's Ping'er's grandson who has arrived home, and I heard Ping'er talking." Grandpa came in from the outside, couldn't wait to enter the living room, saw the grandparents talking and laughing, the coffee table was full of things, grandpa pointed to the things on the coffee table, he said with a smile: "Grandpa Ping, buy so many things, look at you tired, grandma, grandpa distressed, your mind, I and your grandma have received." ”

"Grandpa, I'm not tired, I have the strength, buy something for your second elder, I'm happy in my heart, grandma, grandpa loves me so much, this is as it should be, family, don't be so polite, my dear grandpa!" Ping's grandson smiled and joked with her grandfather.

After Ping's grandson finished speaking, grandpa said excitedly: "I'm not tired, I can't lift so many things, it's hard to move, what's more, you're a female student." ”

"Grandpa, you look down on people, I'm a female college student, exercising every day, it's great, I have to have strength, I don't believe it, our ancestors and grandchildren are comparing hand bowls."

"Huh...... My grandchildren and grandpa are comparing hand bowls, there is really you, okay, our grandparents and grandchildren are competing. Grandpa smiled and rolled up his sleeves.

"Okay, okay, what's the comparison, the old man just have a leisurely time, help, pack up things together, let Ping's grandson go to take a bath, change clothes, take a rest, the journey is hard, and Lin Hong's family of three will come over in a while." Grandma saw that the grandparents and grandchildren were carrying it, and interrupted the two of them with a smile.

"Yes, old leader, I'll help clean up, Ping's grandson will go and do his own business, just grandma and grandpa here, go, go." Grandpa saw Ping's grandson go home, he was more happy, grandpa took a back seat last year, in the provincial advisory committee, a name, there is not much to do, look at the internal reference, daily newspaper, more leisure time, Ping's grandson went home, but also gave him more fun.

Dong Dong came to the door of the courtyard of grandma's house with his mother and father, and hurriedly shouted into the house: "Grandma, Sister Ping, come out and open the door, I am Dong Dong." ”

Grandma heard her grandson's voice, opened the door of the living room, walked towards the yard to open the door, and said with a smile: "Hehe...... Dong grandson is here, okay! Good! Your sister Ping has just arrived, come into the house. ”

"Mom, Dong'er also arrived this morning, I heard that he went to grandma's house for dinner in the evening, he was very happy, saying that the food cooked by Aunt Wei was delicious, and he was in a hurry to come over, and asked him if Sister Ping had arrived? This sister and brother have a really deep relationship, and before they arrived in Nanjiang, they asked Sister Ping when she would arrive? Lin Hong said as she walked into the house.

Dong grandchild was admitted to the Chinese Department of Nanjing University in the college entrance examination last year, 2 points short of being admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, this year to the second year, Ping's grandson this year to the third year, the siblings and brothers were both admitted to the country's first-class universities, can be grandma and grandpa happy, when they meet familiar people, they are proud to boast of Dong grandchildren and Ping's grandchildren, and when it comes to the holidays, they want grandchildren to come over and accompany grandma and grandpa to have fun.

With the arrival of Dong's grandson and Ping's grandson, Lin Xiwen happily took out a bottle of Moutai liquor that had been treasured for many years from the wine cabinet in the restaurant, held it in the air and shook it, then put it on the dining table, and said excitedly: "Grandpa has a few cups tonight, and He Yiyi also drinks a few cups with grandpa." ”

"That's, let Dong Dong accompany his grandfather to drink, I can't drink enough, at most one or two, Dong Dong has genetics, like grandpa can drink." He Yiyi said to his father-in-law with a smile.

Lin Xiwen felt that what his son-in-law said was wrong, he shook his head and said, "No, no, how can you, a father, educate your son?" If you participate in the work, drink with colleagues and leaders, and can't control the amount of alcohol, you drink too much, damage the body, don't think clearly, talk nonsense, talk too much, and lose the future. ”

Dong Dong heard what his grandfather said, and joked with his grandfather with a smile: "Grandpa took out the good wine, but he didn't let me drink it, so I drooled, and I protested to my grandfather." ”

"Dong'er, what are you protesting with grandpa? Grandpa cares about you, you are really ignorant, listen to grandpa, and don't drink. Lin Hong smiled and said to Dong'er.

Lin Wei made a table of dishes, she came out of the kitchen and walked into the dining room, took off her apron, and said to Dong Dong with a smile: "Dong'er, I was in the kitchen, I heard you protest to grandpa, grandpa asked you not to drink, it is to care for you, drink some drinks, Aunt Wei cooked a few of your favorite dishes, beer roast goose, steamed salmon, steamed oysters with garlic paste, steamed eggplant salad, braised pork steak, etc., eat more vegetables, don't drink!" ”

"Aunt Wei, you have worked hard, I drooled greedily when I saw you cooking a table of delicious dishes, and my grandfather happily took out a bottle of good wine, tempted me, and didn't let me drink it, Aunt Wei, you are commenting, do you want to protest?" Dong Dong shook his hand, pretending to be helpless, stuck out his tongue, and made a strange appearance.

Ping'er laughed out loud when she heard what Dong Dong said, put her arm on Dong Dong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mom, don't listen to Dong Dong, he pretends to be a victim, this guy can't withstand the temptation, grandpa is testing you, why protest?" This is all something provoked by your uncle's (your father), so protest to your father. ”

The words of the two grandchildren caused the elders to laugh for a while......

At this time, the editor-in-chief Shen (Shen Shiying) arrived in time after work, pressed the yard doorbell, and music sounded in the house.

"Ping'er, go open the door, Aunt Shen is here." Lin Wei said to her daughter.

"Well, I'll open the door."

Ping'er hurriedly went over to open the door, and when she saw Aunt Shen's face, Ping'er smiled and greeted politely: "Hello Aunt Shen!" My mom has just finished her busy work and is waiting for you to come over and have dinner together. ”

"Good! Good! Ping'er went home, your mother told me, Ping'er went home today, she specially said hello, didn't go to work, bought vegetables and cooked herself, but your mother was happy, she always thought about you in her heart. I also came to see you tonight, join in the fun, feel the joy of family, I haven't seen you for two years, and now you have become a big girl, more and more beautiful, the change is really big. Aunt Shen held Ping'er's hand affectionately, smiling kindly, as soon as she saw Ping'er's face, she felt very cordial, just like seeing her own child, she grew up since she was a child, one year at a time, the eighteen changes of the female university, it is really more and more beautiful, the two of them talked and laughed, and walked into the house together.

Grandpa greeted happily: "Editor-in-chief Shen is here, welcome!" Please take a seat, and your children and grandchildren will be seated as well. ”

When Editor-in-Chief Shen saw Lin Wei's parents, he eagerly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lin Wei's father and mother one by one, and responded more enthusiastically: "Hello uncle and aunt, uncle and aunt will take a seat first, and we will take a seat again." ”

"Okay, okay, let's take a seat first." Lin Wei's mother smiled and walked to the upper seat and sat down, beckoning: "Everyone take a seat!" ”

The family banquet stipulates that before the banquet, Lin Wei's father always has to say a few words, he raised his glass with a smile and said: "First of all, on behalf of the family, I welcome and thank the editor-in-chief Shen for having dinner with our family, tonight is also the dinner of our family reunion, the arrival of Ping's grandson and Dong's grandson who are studying far away is a happy reunion dinner, our two grandsons of the Lin family, study hard outside, learn successfully, the Lin family has successors, I wish Ping's grandson and Dong's grandson every day!" Cheers! ”

"Oh, cheers! Grandpa and grandma are in good health! Dong Dong naughtily touched his grandfather and grandma's wine glasses, took a sip, and stuffed a quick braised pork chop into his mouth.

Lin Wei sandwiched a quick braised duck into Shen Shiying's bowl, "Try this beer roast duck, how does it taste?" Please give us your comments. ”

Shen Shiying tasted it, smiled and said: "Superb craftsmanship, delicious taste, can be regarded as a first-class chef in Nanjiang, Chairman Lin can be seen in the hall, and the big beauty in the kitchen." ”

"That is, what Aunt Shen said is all true, my mother's excellent cooking skills, no matter who has tasted my mother's cooking, she will stretch out her big mother's finger."

"Needless to say, I like to eat the dishes cooked by my aunt, and I am very happy to hear that I came to eat today, Aunt Wei, I toast a cup, hard work!" Dong Dong raised his glass and made a toast gesture and took a sip of the beer in the glass.

Lin Wei smiled affectionately at Dong Dong and said, "Silly boy, what's the hard work?" Don't brag about Aunt Wei, your Aunt Wei is happy and very happy, I cook food for my favorite relatives to eat, and I enjoy a kind of joy and happiness in life. ”

Editor-in-chief Shen stood up, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, Lin Wei, Sister Lin, brother-in-law, Ping'er, Dong'er, I respect the health of your whole family!" Happy! Happiness! At the same time, I also feel the joy of life. ”

Lin Wei's father and mother also got up and cordially clinked glasses with Editor-in-Chief Shen, and Lin Wei's father said humorously: "Okay! Healthy! Healthy! Happy! Happy! Happiness! Happiness! I also wish the editor-in-chief Shen a healthy family! Happy! Happiness! Cheers! ”

The family banquet ended in a happy atmosphere, and Chief Editor Shen sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye: "Uncle, aunt, Ping'er, I'll go home first, Dongdong, you and your father and mother will sit down again." ”

"Okay, Lin Wei will send you, our whole family, welcome Editor-in-Chief Shen to come again next time." Lin Wei's father shook hands with Editor-in-Chief Shen, sent him out of the living room, and waved a goodbye gesture.

Lin Wei sent the editor-in-chief Shen away, and when she returned home, it was already 22:30 in the evening, and the light in her daughter's room was still on, she pushed open the door of her daughter's room and whispered, "Ping'er, why haven't you fallen asleep?" What time do Dong Dong and Niang Niang go home? ”

"Mom, when you sent Aunt Shen away, Dong Dong, his mother-in-law, and his uncle-in-law also went home, I couldn't sleep, when you went home, why did it take so long to send Aunt Shen?"

"Oh, we walked in the park, talked while walking, talked about work, and went home a little late, you can sleep now, Mom won't bother you." Lin Wei was about to turn off the lights and exit the room.

"Mom, don't turn off the lights, I want to say a few words to you, grandma and grandpa are asleep, tomorrow Sunday, it's okay to go to bed later, you go to bed." Ping'er didn't feel sleepy yet, so she waved and wanted to talk to her mother.

Lin smiled and said, "Baby girl, what do you want to say?" Why, you can't do without your mother, and you want your mother to coax you to sleep and hum a lullaby. Lin Wei made a joke with her daughter and felt the joy of being with her daughter.

"Mom, your baby daughter has grown up, she has something in her heart, she has been hiding it in her heart, I want to tell my mother, if she says something wrong, don't blame her daughter." Ping'er spoke a little strangely, with a puzzled expression on her face, always trying to correct a puzzle hidden in her heart.

"What do you want to say? Mom won't blame her daughter, her daughter has grown up and has the ability to deal with right and wrong, did she fall in love in college? I'm afraid that my mother will talk about you! ”

Ping'er shook her head a few times and said, "Mom, what to say, what kind of love, I want to say it......" Ping'er stopped talking and looked at her mother.

Lin Wei's eyes widened, staring at her daughter, patiently listening to what her daughter said.

Ping'er didn't say anything for a long time, the room was quiet, only the sound of her mother's rhythmic breathing was heard, Lin Pingping was very uneasy, she had hidden things in her heart for many years, she had always wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, she had always wanted to understand it but didn't dare to understand it, for fear that her mother would be in pain.

Lin Wei closed her eyes and listened quietly, guessing what her daughter wanted to say, her daughter was older and had her own thinking, she must want to talk about her father......

More than half an hour has passed, and her daughter still hasn't said what she thinks, Lin Wei guessed in her heart that eight or nine times out of ten it was about Zhang Guolin's father, and it didn't matter if she didn't say it, a layer of tissue paper, why bother piercing it, it would naturally be revealed in her daughter's heart.

"Ping'er, it's late, go to sleep! If it's hard to say, don't say it, Mom went back to her room. Lin Wei gently stroked her daughter's hair and turned to get out of bed.

Ping'er nodded, her heart was still unspoken, understanding everything her mother had done, and her eyes wanted to speak, watching her mother leave.

Lin Wei went to her room, lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, her daughter's eyes that wanted to speak always appeared in front of her eyes, and there was a lack of fatherly love in her daughter's heart, although Zhang Guolin would pretend to play the role of a father, but her daughter had never experienced the father's love in her family, Lin Wei felt very helpless in her heart, and she also felt very guilty, looking in her eyes, it hurt in her heart, more than 20 years have passed, the lover who has been thinking about her in her heart has never appeared, how many times has Lin Wei called in her dreams, Wan Yunhai, where are you? With great pain in his heart, combined with Zhang Guolin's hypocrisy, it was time to break off, find a time for a showdown, and her daughter was also older, so she didn't care about it, Lin Wei fell asleep in a daze......
