There was a murmur of swallows outside the window, and he opened his heavy eyes and began to look at the strange world, the white clothes and white sheets all showed that he was lying in the hospital bed, his head was very dizzy, but he couldn't remember much about it.

"Third aunt, how long has it been since my mother left?" He asked softly, as if he had thought through this long dream.

"A-Ning, just a few days before your college entrance examination, she didn't want to bother you, so no one told you, I also found some clues before I came to inform you in advance, your third uncle even hid it from me, saying that there was some errand to go out, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, your mother was so good, back then..."The third aunt began to cry again, she seemed to think of what happened many years ago.

"Third aunt, don't cry, you cry so much that I feel very uncomfortable, now is not the time to cry, I have to get better and go home as soon as possible, you can tell me about my mother, she never told me..."

Under the careful care of the third aunt, he also recovered quickly. Jingyun often came to make him laugh, maybe it was with the help of pistachios that he was able to get better so quickly, and after going through the discharge procedures, he finally embarked on the road back to his hometown today.

There were no people in the car who knew him, they all talked and laughed with the people around them, or took out a pair of white headphones to listen to the song, happy, happy seemed to have left him. He couldn't help but think of his sister, what kind of situation would Shi'an have, he didn't want Shi'an to lose his innocent smile, he didn't want Shi'an to be dyed with gray haze from now on, so he had to find happiness from his memory, at least he could squeeze out a piece of peace on his gloomy face.

The journey never ends, but the cars he passes by always have an end, and he finally returns to his home.

Siye is a yellow and green rice field, the sound of frogs is noisy, a row of cow hooves on the path where the yellow mud is dry, the white clouds under the blue sky are sparse and loose, and there is a wisp of green and gray smoke floating on the tile house.

He didn't call Shi'an's name out loud, but walked into the door without saying a word, the room was a little chilly, and the bright tiles were shining in a burst of white sunlight in the stone jar next to the dripping iron faucet, and Shi'an was taking the exercise book he had written and burning the fire.

"Shi'an, I'm back!" His voice trembled, as if he had the exhaustion of a long journey.

"Second brother! You're really back! Shi'an stopped at the sound and then crashed into his arms.

"Second brother! Why did you come back, I'm almost crying to death these days! You don't feel sorry for your sister at all, you're a big badass, a big badass! Shi'an beat his chest with his fist, venting his frustration in the past few days.

"Shi'an, brother is back, if you want to fight, just fight, it's me who is wrong!" He said apologetically.

"Brother, our mother is buried on the side of the slope of Mangrove Bay, you go and see her first, you must be hungry, I will cook for you and come back early!" Shi'an's eyes turned calm, and he didn't make any more trouble.

He walked along the open road to the end of his own look, and finally knelt down in front of the tomb and looked up.

The newly erected tombstone stood straight in front of the grave, with dense writing on it, like the mother's potted face, looking at him kindly.

He could never see his mother again, and those old photos were burned to ashes, which made him miserable.

"Mother! You must bless us in heaven, bless Shi'an to grow up safely, happy and worry-free, bless the eldest sister to be able to do all the best, find a wishful husband, and please bless the people around me without illness and disaster......"

There were not many creatures in the house, there was no usual sound in the pen, the swallows on the beams still looked at it, and now there was an old hen with thirteen chicks left in the yard, and the family had little savings.

"Second brother, it's time to eat!" Shi'an picked up the hot plates and plates of cold dishes left over from the banquet and called him outside the house.

At first, they were speechless, just eating the food on the plate and savoring the warmth.

"Second brother, where are you going to university, take me with you, I just want to be by your side now, don't you leave me, okay!"

"Shi'an, my brother will take you, I won't leave you alone, as long as I live in this world, you will definitely live." He put down his chopsticks and said solemnly.

Yuhua also returned soon after, and she was also saddened to learn the news of her mother's death, but the time to come out was shorter than he used. During the summer vacation, they also had to harvest the rice planted by their mother and Shi'an in exchange for transportation and school fees to travel to distant places.

Yuhua made a decision that touched him inexplicably, she was willing to give up the opportunity to enter the city to take care of Shi'an, who was in elementary school, and still chose to live in Gu Fang's house in the county. The decision to live with Shi'an was naturally vetoed by the third uncle, and he couldn't disobey the decision of his elders.

More than ten days later, he took Shi'an and Yuhua back to the county again, the results of the college entrance examination have been out, and he also has to take out the code book to fill in his wishes, his score is not enough to go to a cutting-edge university, but there are many options for him, but now his obsession with the university is not as deep as before, and he has carved it according to Su Yuan's copy, maybe fate will give him his favor and let him meet her again.

Tan Qiudian came uninvited, and brought the fat Sun Sun Yue, they proposed to meet here, saying that the days of seeing each other in the future were short, and they wanted to come to contact their feelings, and said that such a decision was not initiated by them, and the girls in the class would come, and said that they wanted to surprise themselves, and he who didn't want to participate was also moved by the mysterious surprise and began to mess around with them.

Two days later, the courtyard of Gu Fang's house became lively, full of laughter, some of them talked about what they had seen from different schools, some confessed to the girls they liked by getting drunk, and even pulled their girlfriends to show off in front of everyone, but there were not many waves in his heart, just because he was looking forward to the surprise, he knew that Tan Qiudian's character would not be groundless, not to mention that he could find his girlfriend now because of his efforts.

"Brother Aning, you're still waiting, maybe they're lying to you. Go and see those female classmates, they are all dancing over there, Sun Fatzi asked me to call you over, it's not good for you to sit here alone, Shi'an is now performing shows, why don't you go over and take a look! Yuhua was about to pull him over, and the Shi'an in the center of the crowd was the moon where the stars arched.

"Old Don! Come and see, I've brought someone back! Tan Qiudian shouted loudly, and the eyes in the courtyard were all in front of the gate.

I saw a fairy-like girl wearing a plain white skirt appear in everyone's field of vision, as if she was a noble girl invited by the prince to participate in the palace ball, and gracefully walked into this silent world.

"A-Ning, I'm back, I haven't seen you for a long time, you miss me!" Su Yuandan's lips opened slightly, and Yingying's eyes flashed with tears.

"Little kite, you! You're back, why don't you notify me in advance, I'll pick you up in person! His eyes were misty, and he stared at her blankly.

"Okay, shouldn't you be happy, go, come with me, I'll dance a dance to celebrate you!" She took his hand and walked out into the courtyard.

"Let's welcome Miss Su Yuan and his backup dancer Mr. Tang with warm applause, and the program they brought us is the song and dance "Bai Suzhen under Qingcheng Mountain", let's wait and see!" Sun Yue coaxed.

He cooperated with Su Kite's performance with stiff limbs and clumsy dance steps, and his clear and floating eyes made him look confused, and only the farewell at the curtain call with an umbrella made him act decently.

A bonfire was lit in the courtyard, and their childhood friends were all sitting around talking about the joys of the past and the sorrows of youth, what deceived the dormitory manager and secretly hid under the women's dormitory to listen to whispers, what was angry with the crown, and the question of love letters that they were ashamed to talk about......

In the middle of the day, they were all drunk and slightly drunk, and then they were in groups to say goodbye, and in an instant the excitement became deserted, and the yard was scattered with sundries, but fortunately, the remaining teenagers were all good at housework, and they were still awake, but Shi'an was tired of playing and had been placed in the bedroom by Yuhua.

The wine was gone, the moon was falling and the stars were withering, but the originally clear sky suddenly sounded thunder, the wind blew on the uncovered window, he was about to close it, suddenly saw a flashlight light in the rain curtain stopped outside the courtyard, his originally drowsy mind instantly became very clear, he ran, his shoes fell off and he didn't care about his bare feet, and ran straight to the light.

"Ah Fang! Is that you? You're finally back, why do you always leave me sad without saying goodbye! You know, I've been waiting for you to call me almost every day for the past few years..."

"Aning! Can you open the lock first, let's go into the house and say, it's raining too much, I have an umbrella, but you don't, the rain will make you sick, I don't have the key to the new lock. ”

"Okay, I'm so excited, I'll open the door for you!" He pulled out the cold key from his sleeve pocket and spun it.

The lights were lit in the room, and the girls in the room were talking eagerly, Su Yuan, who had not seen Gu Fang for a long time, hugged each other, with the sweetness of reuniting after a long absence, and Yuhua put all his curiosity on Gu Fang, but Yuhua didn't ask much, just chatted with them from time to time, and he could only sit on the small table next to him and drink the ginger soup that was happily cooked to him.

In the midst of the lightning and thunder, there was such a warm scene, and he couldn't sigh too much, for he was afraid that he would be happy to suppress him with the righteousness of disturbing the conversation, so he had to listen carefully to their conversation.

"This is my home, I can come if I want, I can leave if I want! Little kite, I haven't seen you become so sharp-tongued in so long, or are you not the gentle and virtuous person I know? ”

"Alas, the years are urging people to get old, and it's normal to have changes, how many days do you plan to live when you come back this time, we have to think of some ways to play happily together, let me tell you..."

He couldn't hear the secret words of the girls, so he went back to the house early to sleep, but he couldn't sleep after all, the arrival of the two girls had washed away the melancholy that had plagued him for many days, and he began to think about his mother's words again, he had to make a choice after all, even if no one could veto his decision now, but his indecisive personality always hindered him and made him toss and turn.

His heart, which had sworn to be one, was now in pieces, and there was no trouble so strong as tonight, and he could not imagine what he would become, but only prayed that the friendship between the two would not be ruined because of himself, so he fell asleep in the midst of a feeble message.

I don't think I have these troubles in my dreams! A chaotic world!
