More than a year ago, when I left with Yang Erchou and Yang Xiaolazi's father and daughter, I was short in stature. A swarthy country boy, however, came back in a green military uniform, straddled a green army bag and a flat iron kettle. The waist is straight, the height is about the same as a normal adult, the hair is short and straight, and the energy is vibrant, when I look in the mirror, I think back to the beginning, I don't even know me anymore.

The day I went home was the day of the market in Malichang Town. I walked around the township market, and I saw the mountain dog and Luo Da father and son who came out of the mountain to sell wild things.

It was very dramatic when we met, and I was standing in front of the two of us. Left there for a while, but none of them responded. The mountain dog squatted on the ground smoking his cigarette gun, Luo Da probably saw that I had been standing for a long time, so he asked in a low voice: "Uncle of the People's Liberation Army, what do you like, just ask, I will count you cheaper!" ”

He didn't recognize me at all, which made me laugh uncontrollably, Luo Da saw that I was laughing strangely, he was a little stunned for a while, looked up and down, and suddenly saw a little monkey running up on my shoulder, fat belly, the whole person couldn't help jumping up, and gave me upstairs: "Hey, two eggs, are you two eggs?" "The doctor is on vacation.

The mountain dog who was squatting on the ground and smoking a dry cigarette also stood up, glanced at me, and immediately showed a smile on his face, laughing and said: "Hey, it's really good, I haven't seen you for more than a year, your baby has grown so tall, a little taller than me, I can't recognize it......"

After greeting for a while, the mountain dog didn't have the heart to sell wild things anymore, so he took me to a restaurant next to him, and begged them to kill the wild rabbits he brought, make a pot of rabbit meat, and then serve it with some side dishes and rice wine. In the training school, I sent a few letters to my family, probably talking about the situation, but only a few hundred words, and it has to be strictly reviewed, I can't say anything, I am very eager to know the situation at home, this dish has not yet been served, so I asked anxiously.

The mountain dog sued me, saying that all the qiē in your house is good, and now the policy is relaxed, and the qi ē is not the main political aspect, the general environment is good, and the countryside is a little better, and your father is a skilled person, and life is passable, but he misses you very much, and always talks about you, and sometimes your mother talks about you, and tears fall......

Talking about my past year or so, I said that after I left with the people of the country, I went to school for training in a school, and then graduated, and after coming back to visit my relatives this time, I will go to the new unit in Jinling to report.

Luo Da was very envious, and said Okay, you are an iron rice bowl, I didn't expect you to be robbed, but you made enough money.

I didn't dare to tell them what I had done at school, so I absentmindedly fed the fat girl, and the meal didn't last long, and the mountain dog asked Luo Da to accompany me back to the village, while he stayed here and continued to sell goods. I didn't refuse, and took Luo Da to the town's supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a lot of things, salt, oil, meat, biscuits and candy, and some cloth for making clothes, a lot of them, which I bought with the allowance I received at school, and there are still some leftovers, which I am going to leave to my parents to subsidize the family.

Mali Mountain is a very poor place, but I believe that in the future, I will definitely be able to take on the responsibility of this family.

From Malichang Town to Longjialing, no traffic, we only have to walk back, after removing the strangeness at the beginning, Luo Da and I have nothing to talk about, said a lot of interesting things after I left, parents are short, these things are extremely fresh for me, but now I listen to the ears, but I find that there is no attraction at all.

So I told Luo Da about my experience, about the tall buildings, about the long trains, the crowded crowds, and the barracks and schools in the mountains, fighting, shooting, and many grievances and friends in the school, these are all things that Luo Da has never experienced in his life, he can hear it, and after a long silence, he cautiously asked: "Erdan, is the outside world really that exciting?" ”

I nodded, yes, big, if you haven't gone out, you won't find that there are so many magical things in this world, if there is only such a small piece of land as Mali Mountain in your eyes, then life is really a pity.

Luo Da didn't speak, he seemed to fall into an inexplicable silence.

Three hours later, I went home and saw my father and my sister again, and nothing seemed to have changed, but there were so many changes that I couldn't get enough of it. My family was full of great surprises for my return, my sister made a fire and chopped wood and cooked for me, while my father and mother gathered around me, holding my hand, her eyes were red, and she refused to relax. In addition to my family, many people in the village came to see the second child of the old Chen family who went to other places.

I am tall and strong, standing in the hall, a dignified young man, many neighbors who saw me gave me a thumbs up, saying that the second boy of the old Chen family is really a talent.

The meal was opened, the crowd dispersed, my father and my mother asked me about my experience for more than a year, I picked some good things and said, my father nodded frequently, saying that look at this, he has become a national cadre, and he is really worthy of being the son of my old Chen family, and my mother shed tears, saying that you are a cub, do your good news and not bad news, look at your thinness, and I don't know how much suffering you have suffered. My sister laughed beside her, her eyebrows were crooked, and she said that my younger brother is getting more and more delicate, what a young boy, the entire Mali Mountain, there is no sister who can match you, if Uncle Zhang and their family don't leave, maybe Xiaoni will be able to make a pair with you.

Zhang Zhiqing left Mali Mountain, returned to his hometown, and then took away the two of them, I know this, think about the child who carved the jade carving, and I don't know what happened now. However, on this day, the South China Sea and the North Earth are separated, and everyone may not be able to see each other in this life, so it is useless to think about it.

The day I came back, the family was jubilant, my father made an exception and drank some wine, unconsciously drank high, pulled my arm and cried, nagging, saying baby, your life is hard, your father can't help you anything, and it doesn't tie you, you will go to the road yourself, no matter what, can you break into the fame or not, just live, don't always worry about the family, you can rest assured, everything has your father.

Home is a haven for the soul, and no matter what, I can find peace and strength from it. I slept so peacefully that night that I forgot about my practice.

I spent five days at home, helping to renovate the roof and pigsty, and then helping with some farm work in the fields. However, although I am very attached to the warmth of home, I always remember the verdict given to me by the old Tao in Tsing Yi, "Seven feet away, the year is not too late", I am a person with a deep disaster, staying at home for a long time, it is easy to bring disaster to the family, so I left home on the sixth day, first went to Xixiongzhai to see the mute family, learned that he worked in Xichuan, and then walked around and said goodbye to his family.

I walked out of the mountain, took the fat girl over the two mountain beams, looked back at Longjialing, suddenly had mixed feelings, knelt directly on the ground, and solemnly kowtowed three times.

I don't know when I will return.

However, just as I was about to turn to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me, and I squinted my eyes to see Luo Da running towards me with his luggage on his back, and waved vigorously at me. I didn't know what was going on, but when I waited for him, I saw this guy rushing in front of me, gritting his teeth, hesitating for a while, and shouting solemnly: "Second egg, I want to go out with you to break into the world!" ”

I touched my chin and said with a smile: "I went to report to the new unit, what did you do in the past?" ”

Luo Da's eyes became extremely firm at that moment: "When I came back that day, I thought about it over and over again, I want to go out, I am tired and starved to death, I have to go out and break through." If I stay here all the time, I don't even have the courage to go out, then I will be the same as my father, the slap in my eyes is big, and my heart is only so wide, only when I go out, I have the opportunity to see the world, the world is so big, I don't want to only know Mali Mountain, only know Longjialing, I want to fight, to struggle, to change my destiny, to see how beautiful this world is! ”

Hearing this guy say so impassionedly, the blood in my heart couldn't help but be hot, patted him on the shoulder, and said Okay, let's go out, maybe it's cruel outside, but even if we die, we have to die in our dreams.

That summer, Luo Da and I walked out of Mali Mountain together, with dreams and hopes, and the two teenagers didn't know what they would be like in the future.

However, the dream is far away, and the so-called teenager should not sweat and chase it, just like chasing the rising sun?
