Chapter 6 Homecoming
Outside the long-distance station, Tian Xiang was carrying a pink schoolbag and two large bags in his hands. Xue Yuxin jumped in front of her, "Hurry up, you should hurry up!"
"Miss, I carry so many things, can I be fast?"
"Hey, dare to talk back, what did you say yesterday?
"Sleep for one night?" Tian Xiang deliberately raised his voice high, attracting the attention of several passers-by.
"Hmm...... Xue Yuxin suddenly felt that he was making a mistake, her pretty face turned red, her pink fist slapped his chest, and she whispered, "Take advantage of me." ”
"You said it, what did I take advantage of. Tian Xiang pretended to be innocent.
Xue Yuxin rolled his eyes, ignored him and left directly.
"Alas, alas, you should wait for me, and I will carry you a bag. Tian Xiang shouted behind him.
"Carry it, I don't want to bother you. Xue Yuxin didn't look back, jumping and running in front. "I'll be waiting for you in the waiting hall!" said before entering the crowd.
"This Nizi is too selfish. Tian Xiang muttered.
When Tian Xiang arrived at the waiting hall, Xue Yuxin was holding two bottles of water and waving to him.
Tian Xiang Shanshan passed, "I'm tired to death, what are you loading, it's so heavy." As he spoke, he pushed the package onto the stool and sat down next to him.
Xue Yuxin joked while filling Tian Xiang's bag with water, "I don't know how many things girls have? ”
Tian Xiang said while moving his arms: "Married you?"
Xue Yuxin raised her hand and made a gesture to fight. Tian Xiang immediately hugged his head exaggeratedly, causing Xue Yuxin to laugh "hehe", "I'm tired of you!"
Tian Xiang looked up at her and smiled evilly. Xue Yuxin was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red, and she smashed water on Tian Xiang, "Why do you keep bullying people?"
"Okay, spare me. Miss, are you tired and sit here? I'll squeeze the ticket. Tian Xiang said, pointing to the crowd.
I saw Xue Yuxin smile evilly, took out two tickets in his pocket and shook them in front of Tian Xiang's face, and instantly put them back again, "It's not wrong to be tired, right?"
Tian Xiang didn't expect this ghost to be so fast, and he completed all the actions of buying tickets, buying water, and others in a while, mainly because he also bought tickets for himself, and he was quite moved in his heart.
"Stupid, don't you understand?" Xue Yuxin blinked, pretending to be mysterious.
Tian Xiang really didn't understand, and shook his head blankly.
"Sister Shousheng told you. Xue Yuxin sat beside Tian Xiang with a wicked smile.
Tian Xiang turned his head to look at her, "How old are you?"
"Do you call it?"
"Don't scream!"
"Do you want it?"
"Yes!"
"That's good, call sister!"
Tian Xiang looked at her for a while, and muttered "Sister!"
Xue Yuxin's face suddenly turned red, "I'm not ashamed, it's really called?"
"Do you want to give it?" Tian Xiang stretched out his hand to Xue Yuxin's face.
"Don't give it, say something nice. ”
"Tricks," Tian Xiang smiled, his hand still stretched out in front of Xue Yuxin, "This girl is so beautiful, let the uncle take a look." ”
Xue Yuxin punched him in the arm, "Badass!"
"If you don't give it again, I'm going to rob it!"
"You rob it!" Before she finished speaking, Xue Yuxin had already jumped up.
Tian Xiang reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled her to him, and the other hand reached into her pocket. Xue Yuxin put her hand in her pocket while blocking it, wanting to protect the ticket.
The two hands were clutched together in the pockets of their clothes, and their bodies were shaken and froze there. The two of them, who were still playing and laughing just now, suddenly fell silent.
Tian Xiang hurriedly took out his hand, rubbed it awkwardly, and sat back. Xue Yuxin's pretty face was crimson, and when she peeked at Tian Xiang, she just met his gaze. The two stopped frolicking and sat quietly in their respective places.
"It's time for me to get in the car, you'll have to wait ten minutes. Xue Yuxin handed a ticket to Tian Xiang,
Tian Xiang looked at her and was reluctant. After a few days of dating, I have more attachment to the girl in front of me, but every time a thousand words come to my mouth, I will be instantly blocked back by the old house full of holes at home.
"I'll send you. ”
The two stood silently beside the car, neither of them speaking.
"If you don't come up again, you're going to have to leave!" It wasn't until the conductor urged that Xue Yuxin boarded the train. Before entering the door, he suddenly said: "How good it would be if it was in a city, I can go to see you for the New Year." With that, he hurriedly walked into the carriage.
Tian Xiang's heart warmed, but due to the large number of people, he was embarrassed to speak, and silently retreated to the platform.
The wheels started and slowly left, looking at Xue Yuxin looking out of the window, his heart fluctuated.
"It's time for me to go. When Xue Yuxin's bus was annihilated in the traffic, Tian Xiang walked towards his bus while talking to himself.
When it was nearly dark, Tian Xiang had just arrived home. The courtyard door was wide open, and the dim light of the hall shone through the windows on the sheets drying on the balcony.
"Grandma!" was full of thoughts and followed by a call, spreading throughout the courtyard.
"My grandson is back!" was the grandmother's old, hoarse voice. Tian Xiang walked quickly into the hall, two old ladies next door were sitting around the fire, and his grandmother had already gotten up to meet him at the door, but he was in his early eighties, after all, he was moving slowly, Tian Xiang walked through the whole courtyard, and his grandmother was less than two steps away from her seat.
"Haven't eaten yet, have you? come and bake it, and I'll give you hot rice." Grandmother said as she headed to the door.
"Grandma, you rest, I'll go. Tian Xiang hurriedly grabbed his grandmother's arm.
"Tian Xiang is back, and your grandmother is thinking about you. An old lady said with a smile.
After Tian Xiang greeted the two old men, he helped his grandmother to sit down again. The gray hair and trembling body made Tian Xiang's heart even more guilty.
The two old ladies had also left one after another, leaving the grandparents and grandchildren chatting around the stove.
"Grandma, let you be home alone, I'll ......" Tian Xiang choked up a little.
"Silly boy, don't you have your third and fourth uncles. ”
"I don't believe they can take care of you. ”
"Don't think about it, they're all me...... My son. The last three words, my grandmother seemed to have a hard time saying. However, Tian Xiang didn't hear anything unusual.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time, in the past, the grandmother had to go to bed at nine o'clock, but tonight she greeted Tian Xiang until late at night. It seems that there are a lot of things that I can't finish no matter how I say them, and I don't want to finish them.
"Xiang'er, do you miss your grandfather?" asked the grandmother suddenly.
"I think, I think about it all the time. Since my grandfather left, he has been desperately trying to get a bite to eat and save more for his grandmother's living expenses. In the dead of night, the old back of his grandfather will appear in front of his eyes, especially the tight handshake before his death, which makes him cry in guilt. His grandfather, who had been sheltering him from the wind and rain, was gone, but he did not take good care of his elderly grandmother......
"Don't think about it, don't think about it when everyone is gone, don't think about it if I'm gone, take care of yourself, my hard-working grandson, and even talk to ...... in the future" Grandmother's eyes flashed with tears, and she choked up and couldn't speak.
"Grandma, don't always talk about whether you can't leave, I'll come back to take care of you when I graduate, don't think so much. Tian Xiang hurriedly relieved.
"Silly boy, everyone will leave, how long can I live at such an age, the only thing I can't put my mind at ease is you, I ......" Grandmother said and choked up again.
"Grandma, let's not talk about things that are so far away, okay? As soon as I got home, you ...... I didn't ...... it." Tian Xiang didn't want his grandmother to see him shed tears, but the tears dripped on the coal stove uncontrollably, and a "sizzling" sound left a few faint marks on the furnace wall.
"Child, how can I rest assured that you are like this. Grandmother lamented, followed by a moment of silence.
I don't know when the wind picked up outside the window, Tian Xiang hurriedly ran out to collect the sheets that were drying outside, hiding the two lines of uncompetitive tears.
This night, Tian Xiang slept very late, and in the haze, the gold-forged chariot, the fairy-like beauty, the ruined city, and the corpse-devouring beast once again entered his dream, "They are back", and the desolate and repetitive call woke him up from his sleep again.
