Chapter 14: Meeting
Biaozi snorted coldly and took out the four thousand five hundred yuan that he had counted a long time ago, but he didn't give it to the ticket seller immediately, but said lukewarmly: "The money is here, but the ticket, we have to check the authenticity." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When the ticket seller saw the large stack of money in the label's hand, his tone was much better, and he smiled: "It must be!" It's a must! ”
The tag waited in place with the money and the ticket seller, while Tan Jia and I took the three tickets to the ticket office to verify the authenticity.
The results came out quickly, and the three tickets were all real, and seeing this, the bidder gave the money to the ticket seller.
I looked at the carriage numbers and location numbers of the three train tickets, and found that they were all connected, so I smiled and said, "Although the price of this ticket seller is extremely expensive, things are still very good." ”
The mark scolded loudly: "Fart! The above departure time is half past twelve noon today, what time is it? ”
I looked at my watch, I wiped it, it was almost eleven o'clock, this ticket seller is really not a good thing.
Hurried back to the express hotel, packed up our things, and checked out, we immediately stopped a taxi and went straight to Beijing West Railway Station.
It is rumored that the traffic in Beijing is extremely congested, but today we were lucky, there was no jam on the road, and we came to Beijing West Railway Station smoothly.
Tan Jia told us on the road that the reason why we didn't encounter a traffic jam today was not because we were really lucky, but because some people with cars left Beijing, because outsiders wanted to go home for the New Year.
We quickly entered the train station, and when checking the tickets, the staff said to us: "The train you want to take is going to leave in ten minutes, hurry up and go to the XX waiting room on the second floor, it's too late." ”
We thanked us again and again as we rushed to a waiting room on the second floor.
When we arrived at the waiting room on the second floor, the train we took was being checked for the second time, and most of the people had already entered the boarding passage, if we were a few minutes late, this train would definitely not be able to get on it.
Twelve thirty o'clock in the afternoon. The train we were on left on time.
The journey was very smooth, the train was not delayed, and after seven hours, we arrived at Changsha South Railway Station on time.
After getting off the train and leaving the station, looking at the lively South Railway Station at night, the homesickness was so strong at this moment.
There is no snow in Changsha, and the temperature is estimated to be around two or three degrees. Compared to more than ten degrees below zero in Beijing, this climate is undoubtedly very comfortable, and I even sweated slightly on my forehead because of the clothes I wore too thick.
Biaozi looked at me and asked, "It's eight o'clock in the evening, are we going to spend the night here, or are we going back to our hometown immediately?" ”
Without thinking, I replied, "Of course, I will go home immediately!" ”
Stopping a long-distance taxi and offering a price of 300 yuan, we set out on our way home.
Forty minutes later, the taxi entered the place where I was born and raised. It is also the place I am most familiar with - Heitan Village.
After sending the taxi driver away, I exchanged a few polite words with Biaozi, and then parted ways and went back to our respective homes.
When she came to the front of my small courtyard, looking at the closed iron gate, Tan Jia seemed a little hesitant, she said: "Came in too much hurry, didn't buy anything, isn't it good to see your parents empty-handed?" ”
I glanced at her. "No, because you're the best gift." Believe me, my family will be very happy to see you
Tan Jia pursed her lips and smiled. Probably a little embarrassed, he lowered his head. I walked over to her as if I had eaten the gall of a bear's heart and leopard, and I took her left hand in her astonished gaze.
Tan Jia's slightly cold little hand trembled obviously, but it didn't break free from my palm. It gave me more confidence, and I grabbed her hand and held it tighter.
Tan Jia's face was already red, she looked up at me, and suddenly her pretty face changed, revealing a cold expression that I was very familiar with before, and said in a brutal tone: "When do you want to stand here, don't knock on the door!" ”
I was stunned for a moment at first, then the corners of my mouth raised slightly, and I said with a smile: "Okay, Team Leader Tan, I'll take you to meet your in-laws." ”
Tan Jia became even more shy when she heard me say this, so she wanted to withdraw her hand from my palm, how could I let her be happy, so she squeezed it tighter, and whether she wanted to or not, she took her and knocked on the door.
The night in the countryside is very quiet, especially in the winter night, there is not even the sound of insects, only the whirring of the north wind, so my knock on the door at the moment is undoubtedly loud in such a silent night.
After a few knocks on the door, the courtyard was lit up, then the sound of the door opening, and finally my mother's familiar inquiry: "Who is knocking on the door?" ”
I looked very excited at the moment, but Tan Jia next to me was very nervous, breathing a lot louder, I pulled my neck and responded to my mother: "Mom, I'm Yun Yanzi, I'm back, I'm coming back to celebrate the New Year with you." ”
My mom was amazed, "Ah! Then the footsteps seemed hurried, and soon they reached the gate.
When she opened the door, her mother's face was full of joyful smiles, but when she saw Tan Jia, her expression was obviously stunned, and then the smile on her face was even bigger, and she said to me happily: "Feiyun, who is this next to you?" ”
Without waiting for me to answer, Tan Jia took the first step to reply: "Auntie, my name is Tan Jia, and I am a good friend of Feiyun. ”
Under my mother's strange eyes, Tan Jia looked very embarrassed, so she broke free of my hand and smiled at my mother with some embarrassment.
My mother is a shrewd woman, and after seeing the expressions of Tan Jia and me, she quickly understood what was going on, and she said happily "eh", while taking a step back and inviting us in.
After entering the courtyard, the old mother shouted to the row of houses inside: "Old man, Feiyun is back, and he has brought a girl, you call the two in-laws to come out." ”
Here I would like to introduce the layout of my yard, which is a typical farm yard, except for the gate side is a wall, the other three sides are houses, all of them are one-story houses, and they are covered with old-fashioned tiles, but each room has a lot of space.
My grandfather lives in the row of houses on the left, my parents live in the middle row of houses, and the row of houses on the right is where I live with my brother and my sister Xiaoling, as for the living room, there is only one. Right in the middle of the row of houses where my parents lived.
My mother shouted as she welcomed Tan Jia and me into the living room.
The old mother seemed very excited, and when she was making tea, she looked at Tan Jia from time to time. Tan Jia was embarrassed to see it, and even lowered her head. Mom liked it more and more, and completely forgot that this behavior was very rude, until I coughed. She reacted and asked if we had eaten.
I pushed the steaming teacup in front of Tan Jia and said to my mother, "We've eaten in the car, don't worry about this, you go and clean up the room so that people can have a place to live." ”
My mother agreed with a smile, but she refused to leave, her eyes kept rolling on Tan Jia, and her expression was indescribably happy, until my father and my eldest brother and sister-in-law came out. She reluctantly went out.
My dad stayed in the city for more than ten years when he was young, and he was a person who had seen the world, so he was calmer than my mother, he smiled and nodded to me, which was regarded as a greeting, and then said politely to Tan Jia: "Feiyun, this kid didn't call back in advance to inform us, so we were caught off guard, don't you see it." ”
Tan Jia smiled a little Burmese and said, "Uncle, you are polite, you are all complaining about Feiyun." He said. She glared at me reproachfully.
My eldest brother is an optimist, and he likes to joke the most, so he coaxed out: "The older this kid is, the more disagreeable he is, and he wants to bring his girlfriend home for the New Year." I didn't say hello in advance, I really begged for a fight. ”
Naturally, I couldn't tell my family, so I had to make up a reason to explain: "I came back suddenly, and I didn't want to surprise you. As I spoke, I deliberately raised my chin towards Tan Jia.
The eldest brother smiled slyly, and quickly understood my thoughts, it was Dad. I don't know what I thought, the expression on my face sank suddenly, and I blamed: "What have you been doing in the past two years, even if you don't go home, even if you rarely call back, don't you know that your family is worried about you?" ”
I touched my head and smiled awkwardly, and continued to lie: "Didn't you just gain a foothold in Beijing, when you started, of course you were very busy, okay Dad, let's talk about my affairs later, okay?" ”
Dad gave me a meaningful look, and then stopped discussing the topic, so he smiled at Tan Jia and asked, "Girl, I don't know what your name is, can you tell us about you?" ”
Tan Jia replied: "My name is Tan Jia, uncle, it's good if you call me Xiao Tan, I am Feiyun's colleague in Beijing, and I am from Beijing." ”
Dad said "oh", and then asked us what kind of work we did in Beijing, how we were doing, in short, we all asked about the short things in the parents, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law also asked a sentence or two from time to time.
Tan Jia is not a fool, so naturally he won't tell the matter of the scientific research group, so he lied to my father and said that the position we did in such and such a company was treated very well and had a very promising future.
Everyone was talking about Xing, and suddenly an old voice came from behind: "Girl, Feiyun, this kid didn't bully you, if he bullied you, you have to tell us, we will make her responsible for you to the end!" ”
The owner of this voice is naturally my grandfather's, I didn't expect him to appear behind us silently, and I didn't expect him to suddenly say such an abrupt sentence, everyone was dumbfounded for a while.
"What are you doing looking at me like this, am I not right?" My grandfather snorted, clicked on the ground a few times with a cane in both hands, walked to Tan Jia's side and said, "Girl, don't be embarrassed, if Feiyun's stinky boy really bullies you, grandpa will call the shots for you." ”
Dad coughed a few times, signaled grandpa with his eyes to stop talking, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law called "grandpa" heavily, and the meaning of blame was already obvious.
As for Tan Jia, while her face was stunned, she buried her head lower, and she was shy, so she only called grandpa in a low voice, and she didn't know what to say.
My expression froze on my face at the moment, and after half a sound, I said to my grandfather in a pleading tone: "Grandpa, my good grandfather, I'm your own grandson, don't talk nonsense, okay?" “
My grandfather didn't eat us at all, with a kind smile, he continued to Tan Jia kindly: "Girl, grandpa gave you a reassuring pill today, you entered this door, you are my granddaughter-in-law, what I said is the rules of the family, no one can change it, you can live here with peace of mind." “
Turning around and glancing at the others domineeringly, grandpa walked to the door with a cane, and at the end, he turned back and added: "I want to hug my great-grandson, who dares to do bad things, I will break his dog's legs, hum!" “
I have to mention here that although my eldest brother got married a few years ago, they are both public officials, perhaps more avant-garde in their thinking, so they plan to have another child after the age of thirty, so my grandfather has not hugged his great-grandson so far, for the elderly, his biggest wish at present is to hold his great-grandson.
Although grandpa's performance tonight looks a little absurd, I know very well in my heart that he wants to take the opportunity to help me and settle the matter between me and Tan Jia quickly, and at the same time, he really wants to hug his great-grandson too much. (To be continued.) )
