Chapter 8: Back to Home

Uncle Shi heard me say this and didn't react immediately. Seeing that he did not speak, I knew that I was bored, so I also shut up and stopped talking. After a while, he said to me, "Don't rush this time. Come and stay with me for one night today, and you'll be able to leave tomorrow. ”

Hearing what my uncle said, I couldn't postpone it any longer, so I took the car to the old ghost's house together. On the way, Uncle Shi only asked us a few questions, and then stopped talking. It's hard for us to say anything more because we've made mistakes. Along the way, I arrived at the old ghost's house in silence, and the atmosphere was really a little dull.

After arriving at the old ghost's house, the old ghost's mother naturally couldn't help crying. I and the old ghost are juniors, and we can only persuade each other with good words, and we can't accompany each other. Aunt Shi is also open-minded, and after crying for a while, she will be fine. Now that the people have returned safely, they are all happy, and there is nothing more to pursue.

During the banquet, Uncle Shi was still silent, only Aunt Shi greeted me warmly, as polite as her own family. The old ghost and I also had a tacit understanding, trying to pick up some topics that could make the two parents happy and chatting, and the whole atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Expecting to be moved, Aunt Shi said earnestly: "Xiaoyu, Xiaohui, it's not us who are elders to blame you. You shouldn't have go, you shouldn't have just left, and it's been so long. ”

We nodded hurriedly, and the attitude of admitting our mistakes was still very sincere.

Aunt Shi continued: "If you leave, you will leave, you will at least have to make a phone call or write a letter or something, right?" You don't know how hard we have to find it! Woo~~~"

Speaking of this, Aunt Shi began to cry again. The old ghost and I hurriedly comforted. I looked at the old ghost and I couldn't laugh or cry. If only I could call or write a letter, it would be nice and I wouldn't have to bother with it. If I could call for help, I don't think there would be those thrills afterward.

"Oh, dear mother, don't cry anymore. Your cry breaks my heart! The old ghost said, "Aren't we coming back?" ”

Aunt Shi cried and laughed for a while, and we also coaxed and chatted for a while. And so it went on until late at night. We sent Aunt Shi back to her room to sleep. Uncle Shi went back to the room after eating. Looking at his movements, I will definitely have a "long talk" with the old ghost after I leave.

After we sent Aunt Shi back, we were so tired that we fell asleep without freshening up. Aunt Shi knew that it would not be easy for us to come back this time. and he did not wake us up. This sleep. I slept until the afternoon of the next day. Wake up and have a casual bite to eat. I saw that the time was not early, so I said goodbye to my old ghost parents and drove straight to my hometown.

Arrived at my hometown. A familiar breath came to my face, and my heart was unscathed. Obviously, I felt that I had not been home for a month or two, but after watching the changes in the surrounding villages and roads, I realized that I had not been back for more than ten years. The surrounding houses and people's clothing have changed significantly, and even the trees on both sides of the road have become much thicker. I remember the last time I left, it was all small saplings. In the blink of an eye, it grew into a big tree.

I don't know how to deal with my friends, let alone my family. Leaving at first didn't give much thought to it, thinking that it would be back soon. Even if I can't come back in the short term, my aunt is still there. But then, things changed course completely. It is becoming more and more bizarre and uncontrollable. In the end, the nature was completely changed. These changes were completely unexpected by me.

My mind was full of mixed feelings and thoughts, but my legs were still walking in the direction of home. There is no need for a brain to think, it seems to be an instinctive reaction, and I don't know how many times I have walked this road. From elementary school to junior high school, from high school to college. Over and over again, year after year. The only difference is that this route has been turned into a dirt road.

Before I knew it, I had walked to the door. To my surprise, the family's house has also been renovated. Outside the house, a new yard was also fenced off, and grape trellises were erected on it. On the vines, there are clusters of fruitful grapes. Yiqiē looks so peaceful, and so quiet.

Originally, I was in a good mood when I saw this. But what was disappointing was that there was an old lady in ragged clothes sitting at the gate of the courtyard. The hair was scattered and almost covered the entire face. It seems that it should be a beggar begging for food. I was immediately disgusted, and I just wanted to get her out of the house. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem good to be rude to the people of your hometown as soon as you come back. He didn't look any more, and went straight to the door of his house.

However, after taking two steps, I found that I was in a hurry to come back, and I was empty-handed and had nothing with me. Feeling that something was wrong, he turned around and wanted to go to the small shop to buy something and come back.

As soon as he turned around and walked two steps, he heard someone behind him: "Is it Xiaoyu?" ”

When I heard that it was my mother's voice, she was so happy. He quickly turned around and walked back to the door. If you don't bring anything, you don't bring it, at most two sentences will be said.

Just as I was about to lock the door, I saw the old lady holding a picture in her hand. If you look closely, it's actually my photo! I just wanted to ask the old lady, but I saw another red birthmark on the old lady's neck! I was stunned because my mother had such a red birthmark.

Take a closer look, what kind of old lady is really my mother!

Suddenly, my tears "brushed" the ground and stayed. I looked at my mother wordlessly, and fell to my knees in front of her. I wanted to speak, but my throat was tight, and I couldn't say half a word. I couldn't help but whimper and cry, and it was heartbreaking to see my mother like this.

"Xiaoyu, is it really you?!" Mother said.

"It's me, it's really me!" I say.

My mother immediately thrashed me, and the grievances and worries that gathered in my heart were vented at once. Crying and saying, "You unfilial son! Do you know how much I'm worried about you? Yes? ”

I didn't dodge and let my mother beat and scold me. As long as hitting me makes her feel better, even if it cuts me with a knife, I won't dodge.

But after all, my mother felt sorry for me, and hurriedly helped me up, saying, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" The people from the Public Security Bureau said that you were missing, and I never believed it! ”

When my mother helped me up, I touched the tears in the corners of my eyes, and I realized that her eyes didn't seem right. In the past, a pair of watery eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist. (To be continued......)
