Yinglong could never have imagined that he would be born in such a place, in such a strange season.

The adult Yinglong sat by the riverside, looking at the silent flow of the river, holding a cigarette and puffing out the smoke ring.

After many years of unhappiness, he couldn't help but recall the situation back then, how he left Bencheng, came to a place, and then returned here, what he had experienced, what he has become now, and where is the fate he has been looking forward to, so that he looks helplessly at the flowing river with a bit of decline and disappointment, rolling in front of him.

And all the things he went through, after several tosses and turns, he struggled this land, and what did he get in the end.

A grassroots, although determined to struggle, but the process is so difficult.

He wiped the corners of his eyes, and it was a little moist, "This river breeze blows, and it's almost like I'm crying!" ”

Yinglong cursed a few words, stood up and scattered along the scenery belt, but his mind fell into a reverie.

As time passed, his mind went back to the seventies.

In April, the sky of the coastal city floats with simmering rain.

In the morning, the sun rises from the hazy horizon and rises into the clouds until mid-air, like a shy woman, holding a pipa and half-covering her face.

In the cauliflower fields in the suburbs, dragonflies and butterflies dodging the rain are flying around from time to time, trying to find a safe place to live.

In the obstetrics and gynecology department of Bencheng Hospital, a pregnant woman was sent to the hospital, and as soon as she entered the hospital, she moaned quietly that the fetus in her womb was about to be born.

After some struggle, as the nurses washed the baby off the fetal fat and bloodstains, the boy cried quietly, as if to announce his arrival to the world, although he was a little insignificant.

Yingnan stood in the hospital room, guarding Milan, who had just given birth to a child, Milan seemed to have gone through a painful struggle and looked very weak, with her newly born child by her side.

Yingnan looked anxious, walked outside the door and smoked a cigarette, until the cigarette was almost burning to his fingers, he threw away the cigarette butt, paced into the hospital room, and looked helplessly at Milan on the hospital bed.

It took most of the day for Milan to come to her senses, and the nurse carried the baby to Milan and put her in her arms to nurse her.

Milan looked weak and silently breastfed her child.

Yingnan lowered her head, leaned over to Milan, and asked in a low voice, "Milan, what should you name your child?" ”

Milan saw that although her husband usually doesn't manage family affairs, he still cares about the existence of the child at the moment, so she whispered: "Yingnan, what do you think is a good name?" ”

Yingnan is still a man with a lot of ideas, he thought about it for a while, and he had an idea in a moment.

"This year is the Year of the Dragon, so let's call it Yinglong! Sounds auspicious. ”

Milan nodded effortlessly: "Okay, let's call him Yinglong, it sounds pretty good." ”

A smile appeared on Yingnan's old face, "Okay, just call him Yinglong, this name is also full of atmosphere, I think it's not bad!" ”

Yingnan is a small cadre of an agency in Bincheng, his status is not high, his life is very poor, and he has three children at home.

Bincheng is a small city in size and is the least populated city in the province. However, since ancient times, because it is located in the golden waters on the banks of the riverside, it has always been a commercial port with developed trade, and goods from all over the world used to be distributed and circulated here.

However, with the changes of the times, the economic outlook of Bincheng City has gradually declined, and it has become a declining small town with the marks of the old era.

With the change of times, industrial plants have been built here, thick black smoke billows out from the tall chimneys by the river, and half of the sky is hidden in the gray and black haze, making the sky of Bincheng always look so hazy.

In the days that followed, Ben Cheng was flooded with a large number of outsiders, and people often heard half-understood foreign accents on the streets, but the people here were quick to accept the integration of outsiders.

Perhaps because it was a commercial port with developed trade in the early years, people's concepts were not so conservative, and they were still very receptive to the integration of foreigners.

At midnight people lay in bed and could hear the roar of trains rolling along the tracks from afar.

The night in the town is always a beautiful day to look forward to.

Milan is a member of the coastal city that moved from the northeast.

Although she is a native of Shenyang in the Northeast, she has the fair complexion of a Jiangnan woman, and she is born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

She and her husband Yingnan's family live in a small two-bedroom building.

Yinglong's birth added a lot of troubles to the family, after all, there were six people, the house was too small, and the weather was stuffy, which made this originally crowded family look embarrassed.

But the birth of Yinglong is a big event after all, and the busyness inside and out makes everyone forget about temporary troubles.

In order to keep Xiao Yinglong nutritious, Yingnan, who is a father, specially bought a tube of milk powder. But the materials in this era were very scarce, and Yingnan still asked people to buy this milk powder.

Because of the constraints, Yingnan's frowning brows are more like knife carvings, and the nasolabial folds on her face are also deeper.

After all, the living expenses of a family of six are not small, and the income in Milan is not optimistic, but life still has to go on.

But in this era when everyone is not rich, it is not easy to make babies drink milk powder.

"Yingnan, come and hug the child, don't hide there and smoke!"

Milan, who was discharged from the hospital, was packing up the child's clothes in the room, impatiently calling her husband Yingnan to help.

Yingnan hurriedly threw down the cigarette butt and ran into the room to pick up the crying little Yinglong from the bed.

Yinglong is stubbornly growing up in this changeable era, full of curiosity about the unknown world and the desire for life, stubbornly and tenaciously absorbing not rich nutrients, stretching his little arms and legs every day and crying loudly to announce his arrival to the world.

Even his father Yingnan felt that since he came, he had to go to this world, otherwise where would he find a "way back"? If it comes, it will be safe.

Time is slowly passing and people continue to live their lives the same without realizing it.

Mi Jing is Milan's younger sister, and she looks a little like her sister, but she is a little taller than Milan, but her skin is a little dark.

Mi Qing came to Ben Cheng with her sister in her early years.

She saw the predicament of the Milan family, but she was only single and her income was not as high as Milan, so she seemed helpless against the plight of her sister's family.

But every weekend, I come to my sister's house to help her take care of the children and take care of some housework.

Mi Jing is not satisfied with the work and living conditions in Bencheng, and she misses the life in her hometown in Northeast China. There is no noisy environment of this small town, and the big cities in the Northeast are relatively prosperous, far beyond the imagination of people here.

One day, Mi Jing came to her sister's house and saw Xiao Yinglong lying on the bed crying vigorously, at this time Yinglong was almost two years old.

Milan hurriedly took a wet towel to Yinglong's sister Yingzhu and wiped her body.

Yingzhu was born only a year before Yinglong, just turning three years old.

Mi Qing found that Young-joo was covered with red rashes and sobbed weakly.

Mi Jing said to her sister in surprise: "Yingzhu, what's wrong?" ”

Milan was so anxious that she was about to cry: "I don't know, I was like this yesterday, I was dying, and Yingnan is not here!" ”

"Let's go to the hospital!" After Mi Jing finished speaking, she picked up Yinglong on the small bed and asked her sister to take Yingzhu to the hospital.

The hospital was a little crowded, and the corridors were filled with the cries of children, some of which were shrill and harsh.

Milan walked out with a sad face after taking Young-joo to see the doctor.

Mi Jing asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Yingzhu?" ”

Milan was in a heavy mood: "It's eczema, and I have to get injections every day in the future, and I have to get it for several days in a row." ”

"What about Yinglong?"

Mi Jing was in a hurry.

"Well, I don't know."

Milan sighed deeply.

After saying that, Milan and Mi Jing took Yingzhu and Yinglong, who was crying quietly, to get the hanging needle.

They left the hospital a few hours later.

After dinner, Mi Jing said to her sister and brother-in-law: "I said it's better to be like this, sister, brother-in-law, Yingzhu is sick, you can't be busy, the family is so nervous, for Yinglong's good, I'll take him back to his hometown to live for a few years, okay?" In the future, I will take Yinglong with me, anyway, I don't want to stay in Bencheng, so it's better to go back to see my parents as soon as possible. ”

"How? Yinglong is still young! He was only two years old. ”

Milan was in a hurry.

Yingnan was silent for a while after hearing this, and said slowly: "Milan, you have to think about Yinglong, what if Yinglong is also sick?" Besides, the family is so nervous, who will take care of them in the future? ”

Milan retorted: "This is too far away, and Yinglong is only more than two years old!" ”

Yingnan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and sighed helplessly: "This is also a matter of no choice!" How can you take care of all four children at the same time! ”

Yingnan felt that someone was helping to take care of a child at this time, which was just a good way to reduce the burden, and Mi Qing's idea was not impossible.

Milan looked at the other two children who were doing their homework under the light, Yinglong's brother Yinghong and sister Yingyun, and her eyes flowed sour tears.

She hung her head, a few strands of tousled hair on her thin cheeks.

In such an embarrassing situation, she had to bow her stubborn head.

Mi Jing whispered: "Sister, that's it, anyway, Yinglong will be almost three years old soon, and he can go to kindergarten by then." ”

Milan sobbed under his breath.

Yingnan glanced at the two of them, turned her head away, and inhaled the cigarette in her hand sullenly, the smoke filling the stuffy room.

However, the heavy reality had to make them choose to give in.

In the northbound train, Mi Jing held the sleeping Yinglong and stared blankly at the field outside the window, and the radio in the carriage was playing the conductor's patient explanation.

Mi Jing's mood at the moment is also quite complicated, now she can go home, but what about Yinglong?

She can't take it alone, so just let Yinglong's grandmother and grandfather help bring it.

Mi Jing hugged Yinglong and looked at the field flashing outside the window, and the little Yinglong in his arms was pouting his little mouth and sleeping soundly.

He was still immersed in sleep, and he didn't know what was waiting for him when he was thousands of miles away.

Before he could fully figure out what had happened to him in this hot land, he had just arrived and rushed to another faraway place, where what would happen to him?

Xiao Yinglong is so young that he can't understand the outside world at all, and he can't understand the many sorrows in the world.

And he was only sent to the northeast thousands of miles away from Ben Cheng in this way, where how would he spend his childhood?
