Yan Yanan pursed his lips: "It's quite hypocritical." ”

I smiled at her, and then I lay down on the ground, staring at the unsettling night sky.

Returning to Chongqing, it was not a whim, as early as when I had not left the house, I wanted to go back and see, see the second aunt and Xiaowei, look at the small village where I once lived, and go to take care of the grave for the second uncle, I want to know how I came over in the years before returning to the house.

In fact, people are like this, many times we keep hurrying, every footprint is engraved in the soil, but we never notice, until we go far, only to find that we have not had time to say goodbye to our past self, we have become another person.

Looking back at the rows of deep or shallow footprints behind you, you don't know when they were left there, and you don't know that they will eventually disappear on the journey of life.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, when the moon had lost its shadow at the edge of the western sky, Yanan and I left the rooftop and went back to our rooms.

The next morning, we said goodbye to the gnats and set out on our journey home.

What I didn't expect was that Yan Yanan would also go with me, and she said that she also wanted to see the village where I used to live.

However, the first destination of this trip was not the village surrounded by mountains and forests, but the home of my second aunt, the home where I had lived but never found a sense of belonging.

In the morning, the sun was shining, so I drove out of Wushan, stopping and stopping all the way, until the evening was approaching, and then I drove the car into Chongqing.

Chongqing is so big that it makes people lose it, and even I, a native of Chongqing, can't tell the direction when driving this car on a wide road.

I remember that before the Three Gorges Project was built, Chongqing was not a municipality directly under the central government, and at that time Chongqing was not big or small, and there was not much difference from ordinary prefecture-level cities.

Many people who have lived here say that after they come to this city, they will never be able to leave for the rest of their lives, because after leaving here, no matter where they go, they will still miss the water and soil here, the smell of the air, and the hot pot that will never get tired of eating. I grew up here, but I can't say how deep I feel for Chongqing, maybe because I experienced too many unbearable things when I was a child, and whenever I come back here, I will have an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.

Others say that they are homesick, but I have never been able to understand the meaning of the word "homesickness".

Because we lost our way on the way, we were delayed in the city for a while, and then Li Huaishan ran to the newsstand to buy a map, asked where I was going, and while helping me show the way, he complained that my sense of direction was too poor.

A few times Li Huaishan clearly said to turn right, but I turned the car to the left, and he said that I was deliberately killing time, just not wanting to go home early.

Regarding Li Huaishan's words, I just smiled awkwardly and did not refute anything.

Since the second aunt remarried, no one lived in the old house where she and the second uncle lived in the past, but I still drove the car back to the old alley to take a look, and now this old house has become a gathering place for migrant workers, a few years ago, the alley mouth can often see the old people holding teapots, sitting on the side of the wide road and setting up the dragon gate array, but now, everyone who enters and exits from the alley is in a hurry, and they don't see the neighbors to say hello.

It seems that after all these years, I still remember this old house, but this old house has forgotten me.

After a big detour, at about eight o'clock in the evening, I drove the car into the parking lot, and then walked all the way with Li Huaishan and Yan Yanan to Sun Yongbing's house.

I remember mentioning Sun Yongbing before, he is my second aunt's current husband, and he can't be said to be a good person, nor can he be said to be bad, but he seems to have some holidays with my father and my second uncle, so since the second aunt remarried, his attitude towards me has been quite poor.

I don't know what Sun Yongbing's ancestors did, his family background is very thick, the business he did in the first few years was yellow, and he lost a lot of money, but he was still able to buy a huge villa in a location close to the city center, you must know that the land price in Chongqing has never been low, and if you want to buy a villa in this kind of place, you can't get it without 18 million.

Because Sun Yongbing's community guards are very strict, it is not easy for foreign vehicles to enter, and I am too lazy to bother, so I put the car in the parking lot.

I didn't come back for two years, and the various scenes in the community can be said to be extremely strange to me, and I can only rely on my previous memories and turn several detours to find the house number of Sun Yongbing's house.

Their house has a large courtyard with a semi-open black fence and a European style iron gate.

In the past, when I came back every day, I would feel depressed when I saw this two-sided door, but this time I revisited, I no longer have the feeling I had back then.

I found the doorbell from memory, raised my hand and pressed it, and when the crisp doorbell rang without warning, I was still irritated for no reason.

Soon someone came out of the house, and when I heard footsteps, I moved around and peeked through the crack in the fence.

It's Xiaowei.

I haven't seen him for two years, he has grown taller and stronger, but his face is still extremely well-behaved.

In the past, I always said that he was too girly, men, always be strong. But now that I see him as he used to be, I feel very kind.

He didn't notice me standing in front of the fence, so he leaned in front of the door to look at the monitor, and then put his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

At that time, I was on the fence, and he could only see Li Huaishan and Yan Yanan on the monitor.

I smiled and beckoned to him, "Look here." ”

Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly raised his head to look at me, but I saw in his eyes that it was not excitement, but still a deep doubt.

He stared at me for a few moments before asking, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Speaking of which, I've changed so much in the last year that it's normal for him not to recognize me.

I smiled at him, "I've only been gone for two years, and you don't recognize me." ”

After returning home for more than a year, my appearance and temperament have changed greatly, but the voice will not change, Xiaowei looked at my face carefully, and after a long while, he suddenly exclaimed: "Brother? It's really you! ”

When I heard him call me "brother", I didn't know what was going on, and my nose was a little sore.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't me?"

Xiaowei just grinned at me, and forgot to open the door for a while, so I had to remind him: "Don't be stunned, help us open the door." ”

Xiao Wei smiled innocently and opened the iron door.

"Brother, how did you become like this?" As soon as I entered the door, Xiaowei took my arm and asked.

I gave him a smiley face: "For better or for worse?" ”

Xiao Wei couldn't stop laughing: "It's better, it's okay for you to change." But what's going on with your eyelids, why don't you open them? ”

Li Huaishan interrupted on the side: "He can't open his eyes, he will kill people if he opens his eyes." ”

Xiaowei's mind was all on me, and he didn't hear Li Huaishan's words at all, he just pestered me to ask this and that, where I have been in the past two years, why I didn't come back, why I became the way I am now, and why the palms and backs of my hands are full of calluses.

I didn't intend to hide the matter of returning to the house, no matter what he asked, I responded one by one, I know that there are some things that Xiaowei may not understand, but whether he can understand it or not, I don't want to thin his knowledge.

Later, I introduced Li Huaishan and Yan Yanan to him, and when he heard that Yan Yanan was my cousin, he also grinned and called out happily: "Cousin." ”

Yan Yanan was probably amused by his well-behaved appearance, first smiled and responded, and then turned his head to me and said: "You see how well-behaved Xiaowei is, who is like you, you know how to be foolish all day long." ”

I laughed along: "Why am I just fooling around?" ”

Li Huaishan interjected: "No, I said Yan Yanan, how can Xiaowei say that he is also a gentleman, you say that people are well-behaved, is it not appropriate?" It sounds weird. ”

Yan Yanan glanced at him: "Which eye do you see that people are old?" What about the old man, do you think they are all like you? ”

Li Huaishan was suddenly unhappy: "What kind of way are you?" If you want to be older, you're older than me. ”

Just as the two of them were arguing, the door of the house was pushed open again, and at the same time, from the door came the voice of my second aunt: "Xiaowei, what are you doing outside, why are you so noisy?" ”

The second aunt's voice was still the same as before, calm and a little stiff.

Just hearing this familiar voice, the smile on my face unconsciously bloomed more and more.

My aunt pushed open the door and glanced into the courtyard, and when her eyes fell on me, without the slightest hesitation, she immediately called out my name: "If not?" ”

My heart was warm, and I had a smile on my face: "Hello." ”

嬢嬢, that is, Niangniang, the two words have the same sound, which means aunt and aunt.

The second aunt stood at the door, didn't speak for a long time, Li Huaishan and they were also silent, no one wanted to break the silence in the yard, I just looked at the second aunt from a distance, and the smile on my face changed from unbearable to reluctant.

In the past, I always thought that I was a person without a home, and even on the way back, I was thinking, this time I just came back to see my second aunt and them, just to take a look, and when I saw them, I probably didn't have many waves in my heart, and after this farewell, I don't know when I can meet again.

But when Xiaowei and my second aunt appeared in front of me, I realized how much I missed them in the past two years.

To be honest, the moment I saw my second aunt, I wanted to cry, I don't know why, I just wanted to shed tears anyway, but I also don't know what the reason was, so I forced myself to hold back my tears and just smirked at my second aunt.
