The old residential area is actually the meaning of shantytown, and Zhang Jianyang's home is in the famous shantytown in Shacheng.

Since the nuclear war, the withdrawal of state power, and the rise of the remnants of the forces of all parties, I don't know when people have had a hierarchy, with a three, five, nine and so on. For this reason, people have struggled for a long time, but under the high-pressure policy, with the subtle passage of decades, people have gradually accepted the division of hierarchies.

Nowadays, people only want to work hard to improve their social hierarchy and become a higher class of residents, and they have long been unable to think of rebelling against this hierarchy.

Shacheng is very large, like the old residential area, there are several places, Zhang Jianyang's shantytown, and it is ranked at the end of all shantytowns with messy dirt, it can be said that it is the worst place in Shacheng, except for the people who live here, almost no one will come here. In the whole shantytown, it is difficult to see the smell of commerce, all of which are low bungalows and stinky gutters.

It was early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen, and the alleys of the shantytown were full of people who got up early to go to work.

In the past five years, nothing seems to have changed, and the people who live here, dressed in shabby clothes and washed white, mostly rubbing their bicycles, walking in a hurry, and occasionally meeting acquaintances, will only greet them.

Zhang Jianyang's clothes are dusty, the materials are ordinary, and in five years, he has changed a lot, and almost no one recognizes him, only thinking that he is a new resident who has returned from going out. The residents of the shantytowns are not static, some have made a fortune and moved away, and some have moved away after being promoted to the rank of resident...... The rest are all people who have no choice.

The closer he got to home, the more excited Zhang Jianyang's heart became, and the alleys were full of familiar houses, which made him feel more cordial.

Zhang Jianyang remembers that his parents will go to work early like these people who get up early to go to work. The difference is that his family doesn't even have a bicycle, and his parents have to walk to work. It also makes parents wake up earlier than others, so that they don't arrive late. In the eyes of parents, work is not just about work, but about the burden of supporting the whole family.

Parents, do they still go to work as before?

In the past five years, some neighbors have built new houses, some have added a second or even a third floor, but their own home is more old and dilapidated than it was five years ago.

Standing in front of the door, Zhang Jianyang's breathing was a little short, and he raised his hand, but he didn't dare to knock it down for a long time, he was afraid that no one would come to open the door for him.

Zhang Jianyang's house, in the shantytown, is considered to be on the small side, a very small yard, and there are two houses in it. One is for his parents, and the other belongs to Zhang Jianyang. The two rooms are not big, only a few square meters, and it is difficult to even stand alone outside a bed and a wardrobe. As for the kitchen, there is a briquette stove just under the eaves......

Zhang Jianyang, who was wandering outside the door, soon heard the sound of water from inside, and the familiar footsteps were something that Zhang Jianyang never forgot at night, and his mother was not wrong.

There was a low knock on the door.

Mother Zhang quickly opened the door, and what appeared at the door was a gray-haired aunt, wearing a set of white-washed old clothes, with sleeves on her wrists, and her hands were still wet and dripping with water, and when she opened the door, she wiped her white-washed clothes. The night in Shacheng was very cold, and the water was very cold, which made her hands shiver a little.

No matter how his son changes, he has not returned home for many years, and he will never escape the eyes of his parents.

When Zhang's mother saw Zhang Jianyang standing outside the door, the mouth that she wanted to ask just now suddenly widened, her eyes widened desperately, and she rubbed her eyes with wet hands from time to time, for fear that she would hallucinate early in the morning.

Zhang Jianyang's deep voice sounded: "Mom! ”

The old man's body trembled, his eyes flashed with tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Jianyang, Jianyang, is it you?" ”

Zhang Jianyang couldn't hold back any longer, like a child, he threw himself into Zhang's mother's arms, cried loudly, and cried: "Mom, it's me, your son, I'm back, I'm back......"

The tears that flashed just now turned into tears like rain, and Zhang's mother also cried bitterly, she hugged Zhang Jianyang and said: "Jianyang, it's really you, it's really my Jianyang who is back." She was afraid that as soon as she let go, her son would disappear in front of her, and she would once again have to miss her all night.

Well, now that my son has finally returned, his appearance has changed a lot, he has become taller and darker, but he is much stronger, and he is no longer the weak young man he was five years ago.

Zhang Jianyang couldn't cry and said: "Don't worry, Mom, my son will never leave again, and will always stay by your side." ”

The return of her son made Zhang's mother very happy, she let go of the hand holding her son, but grabbed his hand and said, "Come in, it's cold outside." You really are, knowing that the night in Shacheng will be very cold, and you don't wear an extra piece of clothing. Come into the house, and your mother will make a fire for you to keep warm. ”

Zhang Jianyang wiped away the tears in his eyes and said with a smile: "Mom, it's not cold." ”

Compared with five years ago, there are no obvious changes in the small yard, but under the corner, there are several grape plants, which grow most vigorously at this time, climbing all over the walls of the yard and the shelves built by the towers, making the whole yard full of life. It is not easy to see such a courtyard full of greenery in Shacheng.

Seeing Zhang Jianyang looking at the vines climbing all over the courtyard, Zhang's mother laughed and said, "Since you left, I have planted it, and I didn't expect it to grow so well under careful care." ”

The climate of Sand City is very hot during the day, and the temperature drops sharply at night, and you can see the exhaled breath.

It is precisely because of these grapes that there is no smell of dust in the sand city in the yard, and there is no cold smell of the night.

The furnishings in the home have not changed much from five years ago, when I open my bedroom, the inside is the same as before, a blue quilt is neatly folded, and the shoes below are spotless, only when people are often cleaned up, this will happen. Perhaps in the past five years, the old man can only use this way to express his thoughts on himself.

The old man smiled and said, "I know you will come back, so I am always ready, for fear that you will not be able to live when you come back." ”

"Mom......"

"Jianyang, if you're hungry, Mom will give you some noodles." Zhang's mother turned around and went out, quickly poured a little ointment on a briquette, and opened the briquette stove door.

Zhang Jianyang hurriedly stopped and said, "Mom, I'm not hungry, what about Dad?" ”

Mother Zhang stopped what she was doing and said happily: "Your father is about to get off work, if he sees you, he will definitely be happy." ”

Thinking of his father, who worked hard for the whole family, Zhang Jianyang had a feeling that he couldn't wait to see his father.

Just immediately, Zhang Jianyang felt that something was wrong and said, "Mom, didn't Dad work in Mingsha Company before, why do you need to work at night now?" When Zhang Jianyang fled Shacheng, his father was still an employee of Mingsha Company, and although his salary was not much, he was able to support the expenses of the whole family and was the breadwinner of the whole family.

In the past, Zhang Jianyang couldn't help the family at all, but made his parents break their hearts, and now that he thinks about it, he is really a bastard.

Before Zhang's mother could answer Zhang Jianyang's question, there was a violent knock on the door outside the courtyard, and a vicious voice shouted: "Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly." ”

In an instant, Zhang's mother's face turned pale, and she said in a panic: "What to do, these people are here again." ”

Zhang Jianyang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Mom, what's going on?" ”

"Back then, you hurt someone, and your father borrowed some loan sharks in order to settle this matter......"

didn't expect that the problem was caused by him, Zhang Jianyang pressed his mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, leave everything to me, and I'll solve it." ”
