After the New Year, I immediately took my children back to my hometown, and I wanted to drive back, but Lu Zhoucheng said that the road was too long, and I didn't agree, so I had to take a plane instead.

Lu Zhoucheng sent us to the airport, checked us in, and sent us all the way to the security checkpoint, "Call me when you arrive." ”

I nodded, took the bag in his hand, "Go back!" Be careful when driving on the road. ”

When he got on the plane, the child was very excited, because he would be able to see Uncle Cheng soon, and Uncle Lu was temporarily left behind.

There was no airport in County G, so Cheng Siyuan drove more than 200 kilometers to pick us up, worried that we were too tired, so he asked us to rest here for a day.

I didn't think it was good to live in his house, so I proposed to stay in a hotel, Cheng Siyuan looked at me expressionlessly for a while, and then called up the navigation back to G County.

On the way, Lu Zhoucheng called us and asked where we were.

The two children fell asleep late in excitement, and I leaned against the car window, looking at the monotonous scenery on the highway, and whispered to him.

When I arrived in G County, it was already afternoon, and I hadn't come back for a few years, and there were a lot of changes here, and there were many more high-rise buildings out of thin air.

Some outsiders saw business opportunities and came to this remote small county town to open supermarkets and shopping malls, which not only drove the local economic development, but also made life here more colorful.

As the car drove into a familiar neighborhood, my eyes began to glaze.

It was as if I saw Comrade Shen standing downstairs waiting for me with a birdcage, and if he met someone to say hello, he would definitely tell people that his daughter was coming back.

I could almost imagine the honest and proud smile on his fat face.

When I returned home after a few years of absence, I was a little emotional, as if I had returned to that time in the muddy past.

When I opened the door, there was no dust as I expected, and even the wooden floor was spotlessly clean.

Cheng Siyuan is a very careful person, the kitchen has unopened firewood, rice, oil and salt, the refrigerator is full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and the milk that children usually like to drink.

Pushing open the door of the master bedroom, it was the same as when Teacher Chen left a few years ago, the shelves were full of books she liked to read, and there were clothes she used to wear in the wardrobe.

Sometimes I feel like she's not leaving at all, and she's still looking at me somewhere in this room, and she'll touch my head and say, 'My daughter has grown up.'

That's why I don't want to come back, I'm afraid to live in this memory every day.

My room is the same as before, even the dolls from a few years ago are still there, and they seem to have been washed, they smell of the sun, and the sheets and quilts are the same.

"The sheets and covers have been washed, rest assured to sleep, I tried the air conditioner and it was no problem, but don't leave it on all night, it's rare to come back, first rest well for two days, tell me what is missing, I'll help you buy it."

I nodded, "Siyuan, thank you." ”

Cheng Siyuan smiled at me, "I originally wanted to say that I would stay there for one night, but I didn't prepare the meal in advance, so let's eat noodles today!" ”

The child was eating snacks all the way, and I was not hungry at all, and I didn't eat on the road because of motion sickness, coupled with the timidity of homesickness, and I didn't have much appetite.

No, Siyuan said, even if you are not hungry, you have to eat a little, for the sake of his hard work in cooking noodles, I can only temporarily let go of my heavy heart.

When eating noodles, I asked Teacher Cheng if she was at home, and Cheng Siyuan shook his head, "She went to the countryside and will come back in a few days." ”

I just remembered that every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Siyuan would go back with his mother to see his grandmother, and I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart.

"I'm sorry! I forgot about it, why don't you tell me, I can take a taxi myself. ”

"I've already explained to my grandmother that I'll go back to see her in two days."

Cheng Siyuan will always be this calm and breezy look, and he doesn't need me to accept his affection, in fact, I know in my heart that he just doesn't worry about me alone.

I swallowed the sourness on the tip of my nose and smiled at him, "You can go tomorrow!" I'm fine. ”

Cheng Siyuan stopped answering, and turned his head to look at the two children, "Stop playing, hurry up and eat, and after eating, my uncle will take you out to play." ”

As soon as they heard that they could go out to play, the two children were overjoyed and rushed to eat noodles.

The child's energy is always abundant, and he went out with Cheng Siyuan after eating, I really didn't have the energy, so I stayed at home and rested.

Maybe I'm old and tired from a flight, so I took a shower and went to bed.

Obviously very tired, but after lying in bed, I suddenly lost my sleepiness, and many pictures flashed in my mind, all of which were fragments of the past in this house.

The more I lay down, the clearer my mind became, and I pulled the quilt over my head in annoyance.

The quilt should have just been sunburned, and there was a smell of sunlight on it, smelling such a reassuring smell, the boredom in my heart was dispelled, and I quietly fell asleep unconsciously.

I slept directly until dark, if it wasn't for Lu Zhoucheng calling, I don't know how long I would sleep.

It was dark outside, and the child hadn't come back yet, so after I cooked the meal, I called Cheng Siyuan.

Halfway through the cooking, the children returned, all loaded with their loads, excitedly showing off their gifts to me.

In the afternoon, I was home alone, and I could hear the silence of the house, and now when they came back, they chattered non-stop, and their ears hurt noisily.

I smiled and shook my head, afraid that the kitchen fumes would choke them, so I asked Fan Baobao to take my sister outside to play.

I made three dishes and one soup, and four people were just right.

Cheng Siyuan went back after eating, and as soon as he left, Lu Zhoucheng made a video call to check on the post.

Listening to Fei Baobao say that Uncle Cheng took them to play, this person was so angry that he didn't say anything, only looked at me with a pair of complaining eyes, and coaxed a few words before he was willing to go to sleep.

I missed Teacher Chen and them very much, so I went the next day, and Cheng Siyuan sent us there.

The cemetery in my hometown is not like a cemetery outside, and I bought a piece of land in the barren mountains and mountains and buried it, and I have been buried underground since then.

Cheng Siyuan burned some paper for Teacher Chen and Teacher Shen, kowtowed again, and then went back to the car, leaving time for our family to be alone.

After he left, I knelt in front of my parents' graves, looked at the pictures on the tombstones, and tears couldn't stop falling.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoqing has come to see you."

When the child saw me crying, he came to help me wipe my tears, and wiped my soft little hands on my face, which made my heart soften.

"Fei Fei, Fan Fan, kneel down and kowtow to your grandparents."

The two children obediently knelt beside me and kowtowed.

Looking at these two children, I feel extremely satisfied, fortunately there are still them.

Afraid that Mr. Chen and them would be lonely, I stayed in front of the grave for a long time, talking to them about this period of time, but I didn't dare to mention Lu Zhoucheng's name.

On the way back, Cheng Siyuan asked me when I was leaving, and I said I hadn't thought about it yet.

I was conflicted, nostalgic for the good memories of the past, and at the same time resisting and fearing, trying to break free from the shackles of memory.

In the afternoon, when my children went to bed, I went to school and sat by the lake to reminisce about the past.

If I could turn back time, I would like to go back in time, and I don't have to go too far to fill in the volunteer time.

If I knew that so many things would happen in the future, I would definitely not go to Beicheng, and then my parents would not die.

The ringtone of the mobile phone woke up my thoughts, I thought it was Lu Zhoucheng, this person couldn't wait to check the post ten times a day, but when the phone was taken out, it turned out to be Chen Yimu.

People call on the morning of the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, but this person has no sincerity at all, and he only came to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year.

I babbled a few words, a little confused.

This person didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he said something like he was constipated, and I wanted to hang up the phone, so I said, "Are you okay?" I'm busy here! ”

"Something! Something's up! ”

Chen Yimu suddenly became excited, shouting over there, "Don't hang up!" I'm really in trouble. ”

You have something to say!

As a result, this person hesitated for a long time and asked an inexplicable sentence, "Last time you said that your parents were teachers, I remember correctly!" ”

This person really can't open any pot, I just went to see them, and my heart is uncomfortable!

"Why do you ask this?"

"No, I'll ask."

"What do you think about them for? I'm not familiar with you, pervert! ”

Chen Yimu explained with a smile: "You also know that my work is a bit special, haven't you been unable to find inspiration recently?" I just want to look at it in a different environment. ”

I wondered, if you want to find inspiration to find it yourself, what are you looking for me for?

"Mr. Chen, I don't seem to know you that well!"

"Why don't you know it, the dogs have been raised for me."

It's okay not to mention this, but I get angry when I mention it, "You'd better take your dog away early, or I'll stew it and eat hot pot!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yimu called again.

This time, he didn't hesitate any longer, and said straight to the point: "You see your mother's surname is Chen and my surname is Chen, what is this called?" This is fate! Maybe we were one family 500 years ago. ”

Isn't this person stupid?

There are more people with the surname Chen in the world, can they all be taken care of by fate?

It was a family 500 years ago, and I think it's stupid!

"Qingqing, do you want to know which 'Chen' I am?"

"I don't want to." I cut off his tirade with two words, gritted my teeth and warned, "Don't call again, or I'll block you." ”

was so disturbed by him, the emotions that had been brewing for a long time were gone, and I didn't have the heart to look at the lake.

When I got up to leave, I saw Cheng Siyuan strolling on the playground, so I walked over quickly and asked, "Siyuan, why are you here?" ”

"Eat too much at noon, digest and digest."

Of course this is false, even if you want to eat, you don't need to run so far, just downstairs in the community, shouldn't you follow me secretly!

Ignoring the crooked bowels in my heart, Cheng Siyuan looked at the campus that had not changed much and said, "I haven't been back for a long time, come with me?" ”

"Okay."

When I went home, I followed Cheng Siyuan, and it felt like I was back in my student days, and I followed him like this at that time.
