Chapter 221: Changes in the World
Follow the memory back to the inn, I really stayed here, I specially asked the front desk if Xiao Fang had stayed, no. She said she remembered very well that I was going alone.
I'm disappointed with this answer, but it's not surprising. I stayed one more night, and the next morning, I went to the restaurant where Xiao Fang took me to eat. Countless memories welled up in my heart, and tears moistened my eyes.
I went to the inn and bought a ticket home. In recent years, the station was full of people, and I almost unrealistically searched through the crowd for the impossible figure.
It wasn't until I got into the carriage and many people spoke the familiar local sounds that I seemed to know that all this was really happening.
Looking at the winter scenery outside the window, the word future has become so distant and illusory in my heart.
Before I knew it, a few hours passed, and I followed the crowd out of the car.
I went back to my hometown. The months spent wandering outside weren't too long, but they were too tiring. Going home is what makes me feel some comfort.
I walked downstairs to the familiar floor, but I was apprehensive. Although my mother won't know that I gave up the opportunity to save her, will I really not blame myself in my heart?
I retracted my knocking hand twice, not expecting that it would be so difficult to make up my mind to go home one day.
I hung at the door for a while, feeling less excited in my heart, and then I knocked on the door.
"Who's coming?" A familiar voice sounded inside.
"Mom, it's me!" I shouted, tears almost falling. I quickly wiped it off with my hands.
The door lock was opened with a click, and the mother's face was full of joy: "When I came back, my son, I didn't say a word in advance." She greeted me as she walked me in, and shouted into the room: "Old Zhou, stop reading, my son is back, you go grocery shopping!" ”
What? Lao Zhou...?
I only heard the voice of a middle-aged man in the back room answer: "Huh? Coming back today? The stinky boy didn't say a word, I'm going to put on my shoes. ”
I looked at the room in a daze, and soon a man came out of it, and he really looked a little like me?
"Zhou... Zhou Lin? I asked, my voice trembling.
My mother was stunned when I shouted like this, and then the man came up and slapped my buttocks: "Are you stupid at work?" Don't call Dad, don't call Lao Tzu, call me by my name? ”
I really couldn't hold it back now, and I cried very uncontrollably.
"Look at you, he cried when he spanked his son since he was a child, what are you doing when you have nothing to beat?" My mother complained.
"Cough stinky boy, so can't you help fighting?" The father laughed as he took the basket and fled the scene of complaining.
My mother closed the door and took me back to the living room to sit. The appearance of the family has also changed, in general, it is like having two people living together, and the economic situation must be much better than before.
My mother asked me, "What's wrong?" ”
I can't say that the sudden appearance of this person who had been absent from my whole upbringing thrilled me. I wiped my tears and said to her, "It's nothing, I'm too tired from sitting in the car, and I yawned secretly." "My mind was spinning rapidly, it should be because the artifact disappeared, so my father didn't leave at all, and he wasn't chased by the Yin and Yang family, he was always at home. Now... It's interesting.
"You... How are you and my father? "I asked my mother, because she looked very healthy now, not at all like she used to be.
"We're fine."
"Have you ever gone to the hospital for a medical check-up or something?"
"Colleagues have been there together, and I told you last time that you are not as healthy as me, what's wrong with asking this?" Instead, my mother asked me with a puzzled look.
"Oh, I remember, nothing. The flu has been terrible lately, so you have to be careful. Go get me something to drink, I'm thirsty. ”
My mother got up and went into the house, and I flew to the place where she had hidden her medical records, but there was really nothing.
Could it be... Is that disease a disease caused by overwork? Now that my father is with me, everything will be fine? I hope so. I still have to pull her for a physical examination when I have time, otherwise I still won't feel at ease.
I hurried back to the living room, and my mother took out a carton of milk from the house: "There is nothing else for the time being, you drink this first." Drink less and drink more to gain weight. ”
Looking at her nagging spirit, she should be very healthy.
Things at home have changed. But it's for the better.
My mother and I were chatting and thinking about what had happened before, so I quickly found a conversation and ran back to my room to bury my head in the bed. Come on, my ability to see things at night is gone. In other words, the Nightmare Orb is not in my stomach, or I haven't met the dragon. Well, it's not a good job anyway.
After a while, the door was opened, and my father came back with seven or eight plastic bags, which were full of meat and could not be seen at all.
My mother smiled and took her things into the kitchen, and my father sat down on the sofa across from me, lit a cigarette, and asked me, "What's the matter, the food outside is not as good as your mother's cooking." ”
"Nope." Looking at one of the people I was supposed to be closest to, I didn't know what to say for a while.
"Dad, do you have a friend's surname Ye?" I asked. Bunny Fly
"Leaf?" He took a puff of his cigarette and thought for a moment, "No, we don't have many people with this surname here." What's wrong? ”
I shook my head: "No, there was a person surnamed Ye who said he knew my father, so I wrote it down." ”
He waved his hand: "You are still too inexperienced in society, why, did he ask you to borrow money?" You're not fooled, are you? ”
Looking at this ordinary father in front of me, I feel that the first ten years are really a pity.
In a short time, the dish was ready, and we sat around the table, and I don't remember how long it had been since we had sat like this and had eaten a hot and fragrant meal.
While eating, the father said to the mother, "The child is also back, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, so let's go and pick up my parents in two days to stay for two days." ”
My mother agreed while eating.
After eating, I was helping my mother wash the dishes, but my father stopped me: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”
I really can't say no.
Walking outside, out of the range of the alley, he lit a cigarette, squatted on the curb with me, and asked me, "You tell me honestly, did you cause something outside?" ”
"No, what do you think?"
"Really? If you say it quickly, let's figure it out together. ”
"This is really not, who do you think of me? Don't you know me yet? ”
He nodded: "Also, you don't." So what does it mean that you get dog pee as soon as you come back? ”
"It's boring, I'm yawning. If you don't pull me out, I'll already be asleep. ”
He smoked and said, "If you really owe money outside, I think you're doing it." I said you, come back early and find a job to do, you can't make a name for yourself in a big city. ”
"Okay, I'll be back after the New Year."
"Really?" He seemed startled.
"You quit smoking, and I'll come back to find a job after the New Year."
He seemed incredulous, but he still pinched the cigarette butt in his hand on the road: "Okay, this condition is accepted by Lao Tzu." ”
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. Rather than being uncomfortable after losing, it is better to go home and accompany them now. He was right, I'm not the one who does great things.
"Let's go, go back, and tell your mom the news. She's going to die of joy. ”
Sure enough, my mother was overjoyed when she heard that I was coming back to look for a job. I talked a lot before I was put to sleep.
I lay in bed and thought about what had happened in the past two days.
The Black Shadow must be telling the truth, the artifact is really gone, and many things about the artifact have changed. A lot of my previous experiences should have been rewritten. Fohui and Hu Qiniang are fine, but their experiences have changed, and the two met together in advance; The situation in my family has also changed, my mother may not have been sick, and my father has survived. The people who existed at this point in time should still exist, but there are other changes.
I almost made a list in my heart, and I was eager to know about them: Xiao Fang, not to mention, the other ones were Ye Lin'an, Xiao Shirong, the big waist family, Ma Daoren, and Teacher Shen.
The next day, I got together with Su Xiaodong and them, and they also advised me to come back early, mix with them, and don't suffer alone in the big city, I agreed at that time.
My mother and father were also very efficient, and they went back to their hometown and picked up their grandparents.
Their attitude was not as bad as I remembered, but they were still very affectionate with me, which made me really uncomfortable for a while. Maybe it's because of the change in my father. Home and everything is prosperous. Such a family environment makes me feel happy.
The New Year will be over in a few days, the Spring Festival couplets at the door will be pasted, fireworks will be put off, and the reunion dinner of a family of five people will be eaten for the first time in my life. Life seems to have a new beginning, just like the "Nirvana" that Buddha Hui said.
The weather on the first day of this year was very good, and although it was the first month of winter, the sun outside was so warm that I almost thought that spring was coming.
Perhaps, today your world is beautiful, but you will not know what is happening somewhere in the world.
I put on my new clothes, looked out the window, and couldn't help but think about Xiao Fanglai, if she was also in my life, what a perfect ending it would be.
Everything around me was as if she had never been in my life. But there is still a chance.
I made a decision to go to Mr. Shen and Da Waist in the New Year, and ask if there was any impression of Xiao Fang. I didn't dare to ask in letters, because the waiting process was likely to be brutal, and I wanted to face it directly.
I went out of the room, to the old people and my parents one by one New Year's greetings, although a handful of old people, but still took a red envelope, and also according to the tradition to go to the ancient temple to burn incense, this time, I was very devout to pray, hoping to let me find Xiao Fang.
When everything is done, it means that the year is basically over.
When I got home, I started planning my trip. The first stop was Mr. Shen and Ma Daoren.
