In a blink of an eye, I have been working in Chenghou for a month, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and a week before the Chinese New Year, my grandfather called me: "Yangyang, when will you come back?" The second and third will come, you come back and bring a girlfriend back! I said, "Grandpa, I don't have a girlfriend right now, and I'm not going back, the vacation time is too short." Grandpa said, "That's okay, child, pay more attention to your body outside, don't make conflicts with others." Wear more clothes. Me: "Okay grandpa, I see." After that, I talked to my grandfather and hung up the phone. You think I don't want to go home, you think I want to spend the Chinese New Year alone outside, you think I don't want to go to my grandparents. I still can't face my father, it's not that I'm still angry with my father. It's just that I feel that I don't have the face to meet them, and I have failed to live up to my family's expectations of me. We have to go to work until the 27th of the lunar month. I went to ask our squad leader for a few days off, and I wanted to go to work after the year, and the reason for the leave was nothing more than that I had something to do in my hometown and wanted to go back. Actually, I really want to rest, I have to work 12 hours a day, and I have to rest one day a month. It's better to take a leave of absence and sleep more.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, I got up early and prepared to buy something good to eat, after all, the New Year is such a special day. When I got up, I scanned my room, I went, why is it so messy, there is garbage everywhere, dirty clothes are thrown everywhere, especially the cigarette butts at the end of my bed, which accumulate over time, it is really terrible. It's really unimaginable for a man to live in a place where he has been cleaning for so long. I simply cleaned up the house, packed the garbage, and when I went downstairs to throw away the garbage, I found that the streets of the New Year were really deserted, and there was no bustle in my hometown. Most of the people here are people who have come out to work, and they have all gone back for the New Year. After the garbage is thrown away. Received a strange phone call.

"Hey, Yangyang, is it fun to celebrate the New Year at home?" It was Uncle Yang's voice on the other end of the phone. I don't know where he got my number, I don't know him yet.

"Ah, Uncle Yang, I'm still in Xiamen if I haven't gone back." I said.

"Didn't you ask for leave to go back, why are you still in Xiamen?"

"Of course it's a lie to the squad leader, or will she approve the fake?"

"Yes, I didn't go back, so if you come to my house at night, I will celebrate the New Year."

"Okay."

Then he sent me the address of his house, and I went over in the evening. When I arrived at his house, I saw a man in his early 40s, although the years had carved marks on his face. But people look very energetic, big eyes, thick eyebrows, and some dark skin, a typical old handsome guy. In the past, they were all dust-free clothes to wrap people tightly, but this is the first time I have seen the real appearance of Uncle Yang. When he saw me coming, he handed me a cigarette and said, "I've already bought the vegetables, buy them and cook them, you can help later." I answered, "Oh." "After a while, the meal was ready, and it looked quite rich. There are six dishes and one soup: shredded pork with green pepper, stir-fried beef, fried fish, stewed pork ribs with radish, stir-fried water spinach, shredded hot and sour potatoes, and egg soup with tomatoes. Uncle Yang's craftsmanship is still very good, and it smells very fragrant. Then Uncle Yang took out another case of beer and put it next to him. When everything is ready, I will start with Uncle Yang. This dish smells good and is delicious to eat. After a few bites, I chatted with Uncle Yang.

I asked Uncle Yang, "I don't usually see you smoking, why did you smoke today?" ”

Uncle Yang said: "Now I smoke less, I used to have four packs a day was not enough, now I have a cough, I don't smoke in the factory, I only smoke when I go home." ”

"What did you do before, smoking so badly."

"I drive, I live at the border to transport things out of the country, and the cigarettes are one after another."

"Then why did you get here and make trouble?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Yang lit a cigarette, handed me one at the same time, and spit out a puff of cigarette. said: "I used to drive very profitable, and then I played baccarat with others, and the money was all lost, plus now the investigation is strict, it is too dangerous to do that, so I took my wife to work in Xiamen, and my wife went back a few days ago." ”

He asked me again, "What about you?" ”

I didn't tell the truth: "I was still in school, and I didn't want to read for two years, so I ran out secretly, and my dad kept asking me to go back to school, and then I didn't want my dad to find me, so I didn't go back for the Chinese New Year." ”

Speaking of which, the sadness of two men. They are all forced to go away, who doesn't want to live well in their hometown, and who wants to run around. In my hometown, there is familiar soil, familiar people, and familiar water. Leaving my hometown, all the pain and sadness are in my heart. Since then, hometown has only appeared in dreams. After eating, the time was not early, so I helped Uncle Yang, and I went back after cleaning up. When I arrived at my residence, I found that there were five video requests from my mother and seven missed calls from my mother on WeChat on my phone. I didn't plan to call my mom back and video. Just replied to WeChat: I was having dinner with a friend just now, it was too late, I was going to sleep. I replied to this message because I didn't want my mom to worry about me. After falling asleep, the dream was the snow in my hometown, and my grandparents smiled at me and said, "Child, you are finally back."
