As soon as the weather began to become hot and humid in August, Jiang Ruichen had to attend a party or farewell banquet almost every day. Say goodbye to your elementary school classmates, say goodbye to your middle school classmates, say goodbye to your cousins, get together with your mom's colleagues, get together with your father's friends from college, say goodbye to your relatives and elders...... In the lively atmosphere, Chen Chen could clearly feel that the time to go to the United States was coming day by day, and he was about to leave this familiar city that he had grown up in for fifteen years.

The four large stuffed boxes had already been packed up, and they had been taken to the first floor by Aunt Bai a few days ago, and now they were neatly arranged in the aisle next to the living room, indicating that parting was approaching.

Jiang Ruichen's mood is very complicated, on the one hand, he is a strong curiosity and yearning for that new world, on the other hand, he is a little worried and afraid of the unknown world, but more of a attachment and reluctance to his relatives and homeland.

Especially in the days before leaving, Chenchen became a little sentimental. He often fondly touched the mahogany bookshelves in his father's room, the coffee table in the living room with fritillary clusters, and even the piano that he briefly played as a child, and then did not touch it for eight or nine years......

On Thursday, Jiang Ruichen and his mother were going to Hong Kong to take an international flight to the United States. On Wednesday night, Chenchen was urged by his mother to go to bed early, but he tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and he just couldn't sleep. In the past, his classmates in elementary school and junior high school sent him WeChat one after another, asking him to take care of himself and send them more photos of American schools.

Mom always wanted him to write a book about his application to American high schools, and whenever he had time, he would record every bit of his experience and feelings in the computer. After writing his diary, Jiang Ruichen read the articles he used to record high school applications, and as he read them, he began to laugh, feeling how simple and naïve he was at that time, and all kinds of troubles at that time seemed to be completely able to laugh at when he read them today. He didn't notice that his father had gently pushed the door open of his room.

Jiang Zhiyuan saw his son smirking at the computer, so he walked into Chenchen's room and said, "Chenchen, why haven't you slept yet?" Isn't it too exciting? As he spoke, he sat down on a small single couch facing the desk.

Chenchen turned the chair around, looked at his father, and said with a sad expression, "...... I am reluctant to leave you...... When I go to the United States, I will definitely miss you and my mother, the meals cooked by Aunt Bai at home, and my mother's nagging ......"

Jiang Zhiyuan chuckled lightly and said, "Your mood is exactly the same as before your father went to Peking University!" Son, you must know that as you grow up, you always have to face this kind of parting moment, on the road of your life, even your parents are just people who have accompanied you for a while, and one day, you will grow into a man. ”

Chenchen said with a little sadness: "Dad, I suddenly feel that I don't want to grow up, if I still hold your hand like before, don't think about anything, don't be afraid of anything, how nice it would be!" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at his son kindly and said, "Chenchen, you can't learn from Peter Pan, who will never grow up!" There is no island of nothingness in the real world. Jiang Zhiyuan leaned over, held his son's thin shoulders upright, and said: "Look, you are so thin now, after all, you are still a child, and it is normal to be uneasy and anxious," After a pause, Jiang Zhiyuan said again: "However, you should take going to the United States to study as a new starting point in your life, learn to grow up little by little from here, become stronger and stronger every day, learn how to face difficulties, deal with problems, and grasp your future." You must know that when you chose to study abroad, it means that you want to go to the wider world to have a look, and you have to be like a young eagle, not afraid of wind and rain, spread your wings, in order to feel the joy of soaring in the sky. ”

Chenchen said: "Actually, I have been prepared for this kind of thinking for a long time, but I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly before I knew it......"

Jiang Zhiyuan changed a comfortable posture, leaned on the back of the sofa and comforted Chenchen and said: "Don't look at the fact that you are thousands of miles away, in fact, we will not really let go of your hand, you have to remember that you will always have the support and expectation of the whole family behind you." Besides, now, the transportation is so convenient, the network is developed, the world is a global village, you will come back to reunite with your parents three holidays a year, we can fly over to see you if we miss you. At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Tomorrow at five o'clock, it's already twelve o'clock, I can't sleep for a few hours, let's rest early." ”

The next day, early in the morning, at five o'clock, the sky was just dawning, Jiang Ruichen's family was about to set off, Chenchen was wearing a new light blue shirt, khaki pants and trousers were ironed straight, looking particularly handsome.

When they arrived at the airport, Chenchen and his mother went to complete the formalities first, and then said goodbye to the whole family at the security checkpoint. The people who came to see off Chenchen's family can be described as a mighty one, grandfather, grandmother, grandmother, uncle, aunt, aunt, cousin, cousin and others, all rushed over from all directions, from a few years old children to elderly people, standing in two large rows outside the security checkpoint.

Grandma's eye frames were red first, and my aunt's eyes were also moist, but everyone endured their sad emotions, afraid that Jiang Ruichen, who was about to travel far away, would be burdened with more thoughts.

Chenchen stepped forward, first hugged his grandmother, grandmother, grandfather and grandfather, and then went to hug his aunt, uncle, cousin, and cousin to say goodbye...... The warm embrace of relatives, the earnest advice, several times almost made Chenchen fall out of the tears that had already accumulated in his eyes, he endured the sadness and reluctance in his heart, and tried to smile to everyone.

In the end, Chenchen went to hug Aunt Bai, who had been at Chenchen's house and looked at his aunt who grew up, Aunt Bai said: "I heard that it is cold over there, and the clothes must be worn warm......" Before the words were finished, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, and suddenly cried, when the tears flowed down from Aunt Bai's wrinkled face, this emotion suddenly infected the family, many people began to wipe their tears, and Chenchen finally couldn't help it, and the tears flowed down like a flood that opened the floodgates.

Mom, like Chenchen when he was a child, wiped his tears with a napkin, waved goodbye to everyone, and took Chenchen's hand and walked towards the security checkpoint. At this time, everyone realized that a security channel was like this, isolating them from the little boy, and everyone looked at the back of the young man who was dragging the suitcase, and suddenly realized that what is the separation of flesh and blood, and the sky is separated......
