Chapter 45: Coming Home
Two days ago, I received an email signed by Xu Qing, in which she said that she was doing well, that her school was big and that she had made many new friends.
The most important thing is that she met her own Prince Charming, who played the piano very well, and they were soon together.
Everyone will say that I wish you happiness, but it is clear how much pain in my heart is.
I hope she will be happy, but one day I heard that she found happiness but it was hard to accept it, because I subconsciously thought that the person who gave her happiness could only be me.
It's like breaking up with someone you like, you will always say that you are afraid that she will have a bad life and that she will be uncomfortable. But one day in her space, you may be happy and sad to see her posting a photo of her smiling happily.
It's nice that she's doing well, and it's sad that she's doing well without you.
My father's health was not as good as before, so the family began to worry about holding his grandson.
In the past, they would never urge their sister, but this time they still arranged a blind date for their sister.
And my sister met Song Jialiang in this most unreliable way to find a spouse, he is in business like his sister, the difference is that he is self-employed and is now the owner of a small clothing company.
Song Jialiang and my sister are still fellow villagers, so the two of them can talk quite well after meeting, and after a period of contact, they now have plans to get married.
Now every winter vacation, going home during the summer vacation is more like a form of going through the process, greeting parents after arriving home, and visiting a few relatives from door to door.
If you meet old friends and get together for a meal and drink, and occasionally go out for a walk, after a few days, you will eventually return to reality, find a job or continue to work.
Gradually, home has become a temporary resting place, rather than the so-called home and leaves returning to the roots. In fact, we have already become a Kuafu who is constantly catching up, even if we can never catch up with the sun, but we have indeed been catching up, and we have been catching up since the moment we grew up.
When I got home, I didn't throw myself into my mother's arms like I did when I was a kid, I just put my backpack in my room and put all my clothes and household items in order.
The first thing I said when I walked in was, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."
At that time, my mother was cooking in the kitchen, and she ran to me with an apron and a shovel on her face, "It's good to be back, Mom made your favorite dish today, it's delicious." "
I looked down and changed my shoes and looked at her and smiled back, "Mom, it's hard work."
She looked relieved, maybe she wasn't used to me talking like that, I used to go home and always put down the key and shout: "I'm back, tired to death, thirsty to death."
And they always looked at each other and smiled, and then teased me, "You're more tired playing than going to work, why don't you change it later?" "
Of course, I fought back with confidence: "Minors have the right to enjoy the support of their parents before completing their education, so it is natural for me to play, so don't be envious, who doesn't have a childhood."
And my father would always snort softly, "This stinky boy, he can't study, this messy crooked reasoning just opens his mouth, I don't know who to learn from?" "
And my mother was not stupid, she turned her head and yelled at my father: "What do you mean by this, there are only two of us in this house, not you taught it, I taught it."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, I usually rushed up to be a peacemaker, and as you can imagine, I became a joint target of the husband and wife.
Although I will be counted out by them, I am happy in my heart, because they don't have a fight at all, or the kind of quarrel that I don't understand.
I walked into the room with my suitcase and asked, "Mom, where is Dad?" How I didn't see him. "
She had already returned to the kitchen by then, mixed with the sound of the range hood and stir-frying, and said in a loud voice: "Your father, I went out for a walk, and I will be back in a while."
I subconsciously looked at my watch, it was really strange to take a walk at this time, and my health was not good, so that my brain would not be weak.
I then asked, "How is Dad's health lately, is he better than before?"
I heard the sound of oil splashing in the pot, I had never cared about these details before, but today I was surprised by my abnormality, and I even felt a little alienated from my mother sometimes.
"The body is recovering okay, but I can't do strenuous exercise, after all, there is something missing in the body."
Hearing this, I paused for a moment, stopped what I was doing, and just thought of one sentence - pity the hearts of parents in the world.
My mother continued, "You don't know that your father has recently returned to his old job."
I heard this blurt out the doubts in my heart, "Back to the old business? What kind of business do you do? "
She opened the kitchen door and brought out a few dishes and put them on the table, and said happily: "It's not about business, it's about writing articles."
Then I remembered that he used to be an editor, and thought to myself, is this a re-completion of an unfinished dream? That's good, it's a lifetime to have fewer regrets.
I cleaned up and went back to the living room, where my mother had already prepared all the meals. Three bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged on the table.
She rubbed her wet hands on her apron, then happily took my hands and sat down, and said proudly, "Your dad has been going out for a walk lately, saying that he is looking for inspiration for writing, do you know what he is writing?"
I smiled and said I couldn't guess, but when she saw that I didn't speak, she immediately took over the conversation, "He said that he wanted to write about me, and he would write our story into a novel to make the world envious." "
I can see how happy my mother is, she never received this kind of care from my father when he was still in good health.
Because my father thinks she is sensible, so he doesn't talk to her about those crooked and greasy words, but understanding doesn't mean that she doesn't need other people's care.
People are always such a strange animal, and they obviously want to say something like I love you to the other side, but they always say that they are too numb and can't stand it.
I saw that my mother was still immersed in the joy just now, so I didn't disturb her, and just picked up the chopsticks to grab a piece of meat to eat, but she stopped her.
"How old are you, you're still so greedy, wait for a guest to come, you can't be so unruly."
I looked at the "Manchu Han Full Seat" on the table, it turned out that it was not prepared for me, and I was happy in vain.
I had to put down my chopsticks, "What's wrong with it, that's also people, people take food as the sky, people are iron and rice are steel, I only recognize this principle." "
Mother couldn't help laughing again, "Why are you still childish, do you still want to sour your sister?" "
When I heard the big word sister, I immediately reflexed, and the whole person said to my mother in high spirits: "You said that my sister will come later, but my sister is back, right?"
My mother gently touched my head, "Yes, not only your sister, but also your future brother-in-law." "
I couldn't help but whisper a gossip, "Mom, are you sure my sister is not forced to marry?" "
The mother's face changed instantly, "You little rabbit cub, you miss your mother so much, dare to love me for raising a white-eyed wolf, come and choke me all day long." "
She turned her face and clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said in a weird way: "Originally, I made soup for you, but now it seems that it is still over."
I immediately went up and hugged my mother and pestered her affectionately, "I was wrong, how could I mean this, I love my mother the most." Mom says it's what it is. "
She said earnestly: "Speaking of this, your father and I were quite surprised at the time, a person who shouted every day that he would never get married, suddenly called back one day and said that he was going to get married." At that time, your father and I were shocked, thinking that she had been wronged and was forced to marry because she was unmarried and pregnant. "
I watched her say unhurriedly, the expression on her face was very rich, as if she was telling her own story, and I didn't know anything about it, I used to say that I liked my sister the most, but in fact I just kept enjoying her protection, but I never reciprocated anything.
She continued: "Later, she said that she met on a blind date, in fact, we didn't expect her to see anyone on a blind date, and it was said on TV that such an acquaintance was unreliable, we just wanted her to have more contact with more people, live a different life, and work overtime all day long.
I whispered on the side, "Have you seen each other and what do you think?"
"People have met a few times, they look good, they are also enthusiastic, the most important thing is to be good to your sister, I see that your sister is happy when they are together, and she smiles like a flower."
At this time, my dad happened to come back, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "The little rabbit is back, and the family is not at peace again." "
I wanted to go back, but my mother stopped me, and she whispered in my ear, "You don't know, yesterday he heard that you were coming back and chattered by my side all night, and his happy appetite was several times better, and this was deliberate."
I looked at my father in front of me, but I didn't expect him to be a knife-mouthed tofu heart, but I couldn't see it before.
I raised my voice, "Dad, I heard that you are back to your old business, show me next time, I want to see how my gentle and virtuous mother was deceived by you." "
He sat on the sofa and drank tea, and raised his hand, "In the past, you said that you wouldn't look at my crepe stuff even if you were killed, but now you want to see it, no way." "
I raised my eyebrows and grimaced, "Cut, whoever is talking about it is rare, if you don't look at it, you won't look at it." "
……
My mother surprisingly didn't persuade her to fight this time, and let the two of us father and son play tricks, but in fact, this is like a happy one. On the contrary, I am most afraid of a day when the atmosphere is suddenly quiet.
