After more than ten hours of flight, Xiao Siya's plane arrived in the afternoon of the next day, although it was slightly delayed. Because she decided to buy the ticket in the middle of the night and bought it temporarily, and she didn't intend to disturb anyone, so naturally she didn't tell anyone in the country about her coming back. Since no one knows that no one is taking advantage of the opportunity, the delay is even more insignificant.

When she heard the in-flight broadcast after the plane landed, Xiao Siya's sleepiness on the road was suddenly swept away. She got off the plane as soon as she could, went to the baggage carousel to claim her luggage, and walked out of the airport quickly.

At the door of arrival, she looked up at the not blue sky, but she felt warmer in her heart.

"It's been a long time, it's been a long time." Xiao Siya muttered, although it was a joke that the domestic sky was not as good as what she had seen abroad before due to air pollution, but it slowly contained a nostalgic tone.

Originally, Xiao Siya felt that she would be very tired after getting off the plane, so she planned to take a taxi home. But looking at her current situation, she suddenly felt that maybe taking the bus was also a good choice. Originally, the airport bus stop was not very far from her home. After deciding, Xiao Siya continued to walk forward, and then went to the automatic ticket office to buy a bus ticket. Putting her luggage on the lower floor, she got on the bus and picked a window seat to sit down.

When the bus was about to start, suddenly a middle-aged woman hurriedly got on the bus, just in time for the shift. She glanced at the few seats on the car, and then chose to sit next to Xiao Siya.

Xiao Siya was originally looking out the window blankly, but suddenly heard someone greeting her.

"Little girl, what a coincidence."

Xiao Siya turned her head to look at the middle-aged woman sitting next to her, and was stunned for a few seconds and remembered that she was also sitting near her on the plane just now.

Although they didn't know each other, since everyone had already greeted her, Xiao Siya naturally replied with a polite smile: "Hello Auntie." ”

"Are you coming back from a trip? Alone. The middle-aged woman seemed to want to chat with Xiao Siya. Fortunately, Xiao Siya didn't really want to rest, and the temperament and speaking attitude of this middle-aged woman did not make her feel annoying and bored, so Xiao Siya naturally chatted with her.

"I don't think it's a tourist." Xiao Siya scratched her head and said, "Originally, I went out with my friends to relax. However, she seems to have plans to stay and work there. ”

"What about you?" The middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Siya and asked.

"Me?" Xiao Siya smiled, "I haven't thought about it yet." So come back now and then decide. ”

"So your friend has got a job over there?" The middle-aged woman continued.

"She's someone else's boss now." Xiao Siya suddenly became interested, and said mysteriously, "Auntie, have you been staying in Victoria?" ”

Because the small town where Xiao Siya and Shen Qianqian are located is too small, you don't have a direct flight to China. Xiao Siya also took the first flight to Victoria for a transfer this time. Xiao Siya remembered that the middle-aged woman was on the plane at that time, so she asked.

"yes, what's wrong?" The middle-aged woman nodded and said.

"Then you might know her." Xiao Siya smiled smugly and said, "My friend's name is Shen Qianqian. ”

"Shen Qianqian......" The middle-aged woman muttered and thought about it for a while, and then suddenly reacted, "Ah, did it appear on TV some time ago, just when illiam Harrison was interviewed." ”

"That's right, it's her." Xiao Siya said with a smile.

"Originally, I didn't read much of the news, but I didn't expect illiam Harrison to publicly praise our Chinese lawyers on TV, so I had an impression." The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I didn't expect your friend to be Shen Qianqian." Then it's no wonder she doesn't want to come back. ”

"Actually, it's not like she doesn't want to come back." Xiao Siya said a little sadly, "She just can't face domestic affairs well." ”

"Then guess what I do in Victoria." The middle-aged woman changed the subject.

"Auntie, your words......" Xiao Siya thought for a while, and then guessed, "It shouldn't be a solo trip." Those eight achievements are to visit relatives and friends. ”

The middle-aged woman shook her head, and then said, "Actually, I immigrated more than forty years ago. ”

"Forty years ago?!" Xiao Siya was a little unconvinced, "So early." ”

"Forty years ago, when there was a wave of immigrants, a lot of people went to the sea. But my parents were special and took me to Australia so far. The middle-aged woman said with a wry smile, "My parents are dead now, and my daughter has just married an Australian." In the 40 years since I left, I have had countless times when I wanted to go back to China, but I never had time to take care of my family. When my daughter got married and moved out, she told me that maybe it was time to go back to her motherland. So, this is the first time I've come back since I was a kid. The original impression of the motherland has been completely different, and everything has taken on a new look. ”

"The only constant is the yellow-skinned and black-haired compatriots of this hot land." Xiao Siya said with a smile, "I'm glad that Auntie finally came back to take a look." ”

"I think I won't have any regrets when I come back and see it." The middle-aged woman said, tears gradually shining in her eyes, "But ah, I don't want to leave now." ”

"Auntie......" Xiao Siya took out a tissue and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

"So, what Auntie wants to tell you is, if you can, let's stay." The middle-aged woman wiped her tears and said seriously, "Although I also know that there are many places in China that are not as good as abroad. However, this is the motherland, and this is home. ”

"I see." Xiao Siya nodded.

"Please pass on my words to your friends, too." The middle-aged woman continued, "While I'm glad to see our companion so well overseas, I'd love to see her shine here if I can. ”

While the two were talking, the bus stopped. Xiao Siya turned her head and glanced out the window, she had already arrived at the station.

"Auntie, I'll go first. Hope you have a smooth journey to your home country. Xiao Siya said as she took out a business card from her bag, "If you need any help, just call me." I'll stay in the country for a while and then go back. ”

"Thank you, little girl." The middle-aged woman accepted the business card and said, "If you and your friend decide to stay there, you can contact me if you have any questions." I may not be able to actually help you, but I have a lot of experience to share with you. ”

"Okay." Xiao Siya and the middle-aged woman got out of the car together, "See you soon, Auntie." ”

"Goodbye, little girl." The middle-aged woman waved her hand and said.

Then the two men went their separate ways in different directions.

Xiao Siya's place where she got off the bus was not far from her own apartment, and after sitting on the bus for a long time, she walked slowly on the road alone with her suitcase. This street, which has been passed countless times, seems to have changed in just a few months, but Xiao Siya is surprised to find that she can't tell what is different. In the past, it may have been too familiar to pay attention, but now this street is mottled and faded in memory.

Xiao Siya couldn't help humming a little song and continued to slow down. The sun was very good at this time, and it was almost direct from the shadows, but it didn't make Xiao Siya feel very hot. This kind of just right warmth made Xiao Siya really can't bear to go home too soon.

Despite thinking so, Xiao Siya quickly walked to the entrance of the building where the apartment was located. She took the key out of her bag and opened the door to enter, not noticing the camera hidden behind the shadow of the tree on the opposite street.

Xiao Siya took the elevator upstairs, and then gently opened the door that had been sealed for a long time. Xiao Siya put her luggage at the entrance, changed into her own slippers in the shoe cabinet, and then went in first to open the doors and windows of each room. No one has taken care of it for a long time, and there will inevitably be some dust in the house and then there will be a smell of dust.

Xiao Siya rolled up her sleeves and took out the mask from the drawer, connected the mobile phone player to the Bluetooth speaker in the living room, and then began to clean up with the rock tune. Xiao Siya went from the innermost bedroom and balcony, then the bathroom, the study, the kitchen, and finally the living room.

When there was finally only the living room left, Xiao Siya was so tired that she couldn't help but sit on the sofa for a while. She wanted to have something to drink, but when she cleaned the kitchen, she found that the only beer juices in the refrigerator had expired. I finally boiled the water, but it hasn't been boiled yet.

Xiao Siya sighed, and was about to stand up and continue cleaning, when she suddenly heard the landline at home ringing.

Usually Xiao Siya's work or private phone is connected by mobile phone, and because the landline at home is wireless, there is not even a caller ID, of course, almost no one will call, and she has hardly used it.

"How can anyone call a landline?" Xiao Siya frowned, "No one knows this number, except for ......"

Xiao Siya thought for a while, and then swallowed her saliva-it shouldn't be possible that he had just returned to China and found his phone when he got home. Xiao Siya took out her mobile phone and suddenly found that she couldn't remember turning it on because she was chatting with the middle-aged aunt in the car.

"Is it because he didn't turn on the phone, so he called the landline?" Xiao Siya secretly guessed, "But it's still impossible, how could he know that he was back." ”

Xiao Siya hesitated, but finally reached out and picked up the phone, and said, "Hey? ”

"Hello, there is a new real estate located at the subway entrance, I don't know if you are interested......"

"It's a sales call." Xiao Siya hung up the phone hard, and then collapsed on the sofa, "What am I thinking?" How could someone call me just after I returned home? ”

Who knows, when Xiao Siya was thinking like this, the phone rang again.
