Chapter 159: Going Home
regained Tongtong's soul, and the mission of coming to Xiangxi this time was completed. Xiao Wei broke his leg after being blown by the corpse boy, and we took him back to Lingtou Village and found a tricycle to take him to a hospital in a nearby town overnight. Williams' leg injury was more serious, and he had to lie down for a month, so a few of us spent the night in the hospital. When Serena Williams mentioned his grandfather, he had a sad look on his face. It turned out that he had seen the corpse of his grandfather when he was dealing with the corpse boy at the corpse inn with us, and that his grandfather had died at the hands of the demon that night when he was making trouble with the ghost.
"And what are your plans for the future?" I asked.
"Alas, I plan to go back to my hometown for a while, and this time I came out, not only did my grandfather die, but I also lost those happy gods. I don't know how to deal with those customers, so let's go back to my hometown and avoid them for a while, save some money to compensate those customers, and then come out and drive the corpses. ”
Williams has no parents, and his grandfather is dead. He is helpless now, but fortunately, he has the ability to drive corpses to earn food. Early the next morning, I told Zhang Lingxue about Xiao Wei's situation, Zhang Lingxue said that Xiao Wei was also quite pitiful, and he helped us a lot this time about the corpse boy, so Zhang Lingxue left Xiao Wei a bank card, and there were 50,000 yuan in the card, which is really nothing to Zhang Lingxue now.
I hurried back to put my soul back on Tongtong's body, and didn't stay in Xiangxi for long. Zhang Lingxue naturally went back to the provincial capital with me, Xiao Xue came to see us off, before leaving, Zhang Lingxue asked Xiao Xue what she would do in the future, Xiao Xue smiled bitterly and said: "I violated the clan rules and helped you kill the corpse child, I can't be the patriarch." I don't know what to do next. ”
Zhang Lingxue's eyes lit up and said, "Then why don't you go back with us, I opened a soul removal office, you can come to the office to help, and you can also go to see the life of the big city." ”
Shinoyuki thought for a moment, then finally nodded. So, we went back together with a group of three people, Xiao Xue took off her veil after getting into the car, her beautiful face attracted the attention of the whole car, plus Zhang Lingxue sat next to the big beauty, it became a beautiful scenery on the car, I sat next to them, I don't know how many people looked at them hostilely.
We arrived at the airport and in order to get back quickly, we chose to fly. The plane was very fast, and it took almost an hour to reach the provincial capital. Zhang Lingxue and Xiao Xue went back to the Soul Removal Office, and I rushed to Director Liu's house non-stop.
I put my soul back on Tongtong's body, and Tongtong, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up, Director Liu cried with joy, hugged Tongtong and kept crying. During the days when I went to Xiangxi, Director Liu suffered a lot, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, which is a haggard condition that I have not seen for a long time since I knew her. At this time, looking at the picture of their mother and daughter hugging each other, I was almost moved to tears.
After a while, it was time for the year-end review. Lai Mao and I went through several departments in the hospital. In the end, he was left in the surgical department by Director Liu. The days of internship are over, and it is finally time to become a regular. Lai Mao and I went out and had a happy meal as a celebration.
Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, I hadn't been home for four years of college, and after graduating from college this year, I changed around again, saying that I had to go home to meet my parents.
and Zhang Lingxue had a parting banquet, and they embarked on the journey home.
My family is in a small alley on the outskirts of the county, where my mother and stepfather have lived since they got married. My home is a junction between urban and rural areas, but fortunately there are buses that can go directly, which saves a lot of trouble.
When I returned here again, it has been four years later, and this place has changed a lot over the years, the yellow mud road in the original alley has been completely replaced by a cement road, and a park for the elderly has been built near the alley.
The alley is full of lights, and everyone is looking forward to the New Year. This year, my sister said that she was going to Yang Hong for the New Year, so she would not come back. So I'm the only one going home for the Chinese New Year this year. Back at the door of the house, gently open the door, parents are busy with Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. When I saw the familiar figure of the two elders, my nose suddenly became sore, and I almost didn't shed tears.
No matter how long the prodigal son wanders outside, he will always feel homesick, and only home is a warm home.
When my father and mother saw me coming back, they hurriedly came out to help me carry a large bag of things into the house, and while the two elders were busy with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they asked me about my work, and when they heard the news that I had successfully turned positive, the two elders couldn't close their mouths.
Finally, at this time, I truly felt the warmth of home.
At night, crackling firecrackers rang out outside. The whole alley entered a happy atmosphere, I brushed the circle of friends, and the big guys were all showing off the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. There are also many people who have sent me New Year's red envelopes, and to my surprise, there is still a share of this guy Lu Yuan.
After returning the red envelope and New Year's blessings, my mother said, "Xiaofeng, you are twenty-three this year." ”
I agreed, and suddenly it felt strange for my mother to ask this.
Mom continued: "You have now become a regular worker, and you have a stable income and a job. Plus you're not young, it's time to find a girlfriend. ”
I really didn't expect my mother to suddenly say such a thing, and I almost squirted out in a sip of wine just after drinking it. In the past, many young people complained that they did not dare to go home for the New Year without finding a boyfriend or girlfriend, and they were forced to marry as soon as the New Year was celebrated. I really didn't expect this to happen to me. I coughed and said, "Mom, I actually have a girlfriend." The last time you saw him. ”
Mom snorted and said, "You mean Xiaoling, don't think Mom doesn't know, she's just something you use to deal with me." She confessed to me afterwards. ”
Dad also said: "Xiaofeng, don't think too much, we are not forcing you to find a girlfriend, we just care about you." ”
I nodded helplessly, thinking to myself what is the difference between this and being forced to get off the list in disguise.
Fortunately, they just mentioned this matter, and they didn't arrange a blind date for their buddies, so I went out in a few days after the New Year to find someone to pretend to be a girlfriend and come back to coax their two elders. I thought about it by chance.
"Xiao Feng, Mom has a student who has graduated for a few years, and he is about the same age as you. The family lives in the county seat, she is an accountant, and she looks good. I have already made an appointment for you, tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you will accompany her out to dinner and meet and get to know each other. ”
I almost hit my head on the table, and after talking for a long time, it's still a blind date!
