"Whew"!

Deeply protruding a breath of turbidity, Mo Lin looked up at the fiery sun hanging in the sky, and the corners of his mouth twitched helplessly.

With one hand, he pulled the backpack that was slung over his shoulder, and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar asphalt road, his eyes shaking slightly.

He hadn't been back since he left three years ago, and the blinding light of the new pavement made him a little gloomy.

In the distance, there were occasionally a few white clouds drifting in the sky, but the dilapidated houses on both sides of the road had long since disappeared at this moment, and now only a piece of broken tiles remained in place

It is like a man who proves that this place has been prosperous before.

Wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead and cursing in a low voice, Mo Lin walked into the distance in the direction he remembered.

It is a small town surrounded by mountains, with blue ridges rising and low in the distance, vigorous green pines clearly visible, and in the distance of the asphalt road, new high-rise buildings rise to the ground

It is a planned town.

Standing in front of a red wooden door with some paint peeling, Mo Lin's footsteps slowed down a little, and the scene in front of this door three years ago resurfaced in front of him at this moment.

A pair of somewhat cloudy and puffy eyes looked at him with bloodshots.

"Lin'er, say a soft word to your father, there is nothing between father and son that cannot get along. γ€ž

When his mother's words lingered in his ears, Mo Lin couldn't help but clench his palms, he was so impulsive at that time, thinking back to his mother's helpless eyes, Mo Lin's heart

It's like a knife twisting.

"Squeak"

Just when Mo Lin fell into memory, the wooden door in front of him made a sound, and the wooden door slowly opened, and an old man with gray hair walked out of it

Some rickets, with a black bag in their hands, walked outside.

Disturbed by the sound of the door opening, Mo Lin's eyes became clear, looking at the old man with a somewhat sallow face, his heart suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle.

When I left home, my mother was not yet forty, and although my mother had some wrinkles at that time, it was not so obvious, and it was only three years, and it was so big

change, which made Mo Lin blame himself.

Seeing that the old man was walking towards him, Mo Lin wanted to step forward, but the soles of his feet were like rocks, and it was difficult to move a bit.

The old man didn't notice that there was still a person standing next to him, the old couple had slowly gotten used to living alone in the past few years, and their house was also in the depths of the alley, and there was usually no one

Will come here.

However, although the old man walked with his head down, the figure of the sunlight projecting on the ground made the old man stop, and he saw the old man slowly raise his body and follow the black

The shadow looks.

"Smack"

When the old man saw Mo Lin's appearance, the bag in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and a pair of eyes looked at the figure in front of him with some surprise, and his calloused hands were also

It's trembling.

"You, are you Lin'er?"

His voice trembled a little, and the old man looked at Mo Lin and said excitedly, but his eyes were already moist.

Looking at his mother's appearance, Mo Lin's throat seemed to be stuck, and his heart was filled with excitement.

"Mom, I'm Lin'er, and Lin'er is back. γ€ž

Unable to control his emotions anymore, Mo Lin walked in front of the old man in three or two steps, grasped the calloused hands, and nodded incessantly.

"Old man, old man, come out quickly, Lin'er is back, our Lin'er is back. γ€ž

Seeing that the young man in front of him was his son, the old man hurriedly shouted loudly.

Since Mo Lin left home three years ago, the old man has never been happier than he is today.

"Lin'er, I've been suffering outside in the past few years, come, come home quickly, and let your father take a good look at you. γ€ž

Holding Mo Lin's palm tightly, the old man was afraid that Mo Lin would run away again, his face was originally a little sallow, but at the moment it became rosy because of excitement, and the whole person was good

It's like I'm a lot younger in an instant.

"Mom, I'm bothering you, it's my son who is not good, and I've worried you in the past few years. γ€ž

Seeing that his mother was so happy, he couldn't care about the tears in the corners of his eyes, Mo Lin's eyes also became moist, and he said excitedly to the old man.

"Silly boy, as long as you come back, no matter how good you are outside, it is not as good as your own home. γ€ž

Seeing Mo Lin come back this time, he seemed to be much more sensible than before, and the old man also said while patting Mo Lin's arm.

followed his mother into the door of the house he hadn't entered for three years, and the courtyard was still the same as when he left, Mo Lin felt a different warmth from the outside at this moment.

"I'm back, let your mom cook a few dishes. γ€ž

Just as Mo Lin was recalling in the courtyard, a calm voice came from the inner room, and then a man in his forties walked out, dressed in white short sleeves, with a somewhat dark face,

Underneath the two thick eyebrows is a serious gaze.

When this gaze saw Mo Lin's body, it became much softer, this was Mo Lin's father, Mo Fan.

"Dad, I'm back. γ€ž

Seeing his father coming, his body was still as tough as before, and Mo Lin's heart was a little lighter.

"Well, just come back, come in. γ€ž

Listening to Mo Lin's words, Mo Fan nodded, and then turned around and walked towards the inner room.

"Stinky old man, our son has just come back, if you put that stinky face on me again, I won't be able to spare you, son, say more good things to your father in a while, you have left home in the past few years

Although his words were so harsh at the time, but since you left, he often got up in the middle of the night to walk around the yard, thinking that I didn't know. γ€ž

Seeing Mo Fan's dark face, Mo Lin's mother glared at Mo Fan viciously, and then turned her head to Mo Lin and whispered.

"Well, I know mom, don't worry. γ€ž

Seeing his father's appearance, Mo Lin also touched the tip of his nose, listened to his mother's words, and then said with a smile.

In the evening, the family of three gathered around a round table, which was full of Mo Lin's favorite food, looking at the results of the mother's busy afternoon, Mo Lin carried the backpack with him

took out a bottle of wine and poured it for Mo Fan.

Seeing his son's appearance, Mo Fan's eyes also showed a hint of relief.

Eating the food made by his mother, watching his mother keep putting vegetables in his bowl, and listening to his mother's cold and warm words, Mo Lin secretly made a decision in his heart.

For a long time, when the stars were dotted and a crescent moon crossed the sky, Mo Lin and Mo Fan were already a little drunk, and the two of them were sitting in the courtyard chatting at this moment.

"Dad, we've changed a lot in the past few years, and when I came during the day, the east of our house had already become a construction site, and it might not be long before we were here.

I will relocate too. γ€ž

Looking at the stars in the sky, like a jewel inlaid on the satin, Mo Lin said.

"Well, now that we're in the planning area, if you come back a few years later, you might not find your way home. γ€ž

Listening to Mo Lin's words, Mo Fan said in a low voice.

Seeing that his father was a little tired, Mo Lin didn't say much, and sat quietly beside Mo Fan, alone outside for the past three years, from the initial naΓ―ve and simple, he shouted when he encountered things

Shouting, until now he will think more about everything, and only he knows the suffering in this process.

"I'll go to sleep first, tomorrow you go to Wang Ze, thank you well, you haven't been at home for three years, but that kid often comes to our house." γ€ž

Mo Fan sat in the courtyard for a while, then walked towards the inner room.

Looking at the bright lights in the house stretching Mo Fan's figure, Mo Lin also got up and walked towards his room.

Standing on the windowsill, looking at the mountains in the distance that were like black dragons, Mo Lin sighed softly, the changes in his hometown in the past three years were simply beyond his expectations, originally

The low-rise and dilapidated village has long been replaced by high-rise buildings, and how could he not be like this, from the original ignorance and arrogance to the current calm and calm.

The moonlight was cold, and the silver-white light sprinkled on the earth, as if draped in a white veil, and the black ridges looked particularly quiet in the white moonlight, and above the mountains, a few

The clouds move slowly, and everything seems so harmonious.

Gradually, the hooked moon was gradually hidden by a few dim clouds, like a shy bride covering her beautiful cheeks, making the silent night a little dim

Get down.

"If there was tomorrow...... γ€ž

Just when Mo Lin was standing on the windowsill looking into the distance in a daze, a crisp mobile phone ringtone suddenly rang, Mo Lin took out the mobile phone from his pocket casually, then looked at it and said:

"Why haven't you slept so late, kid?"

The words were flat, but with a hint of a smile, the one who called himself so late, he didn't have to think about it to know who it was.

"Haha, you guy, don't notify me when you come back, I'm afraid I'll let you invite you to dinner, I haven't seen you in the past few years, wait for me at home tomorrow morning, and it just so happens that our brothers and sisters will have a good chat."

Somewhat. γ€ž

Hearing Mo Lin's words, the people in the mobile phone were not surprised by those words, but said in a mocking tone.

"Hehe, you guy, your mouth is still so unforgiving, I don't plan to go out again when I come back this time, our brothers have a lot of time. γ€ž

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Mo Lin couldn't help but think of when he was at home before, at that time, there would be someone by his side at all times to drink together.

Skipping class together, getting into trouble is also a burden together, and since he left home, Wang Ze often comes to his house to help with some housework.

After a brief chat with Wang Ze, Mo Lin returned to the room where he originally lived, looking at the room that was exactly the same as when he left, Mo Lin suddenly felt indebted to his father

Mother many.

Perhaps people always ignore the feelings of the closest people when they are inadvertent, when they were young and vigorous, they ran away from home, although they were happy for a while, but they ignored the hearts of their parents

Broken looks, and after experiencing some things, I understand that home is the warmest.

Lying on the bed and looking out the window at the branches of the trees blown by the wind, the night sky, which was originally somewhat clear, became gloomy at this moment.

"The storm is coming again. γ€ž

Muttered, Mo Lin scratched his not long but shiny hair, and then fell into a deep sleep, this night was the most restful night Mo Lin slept in three years.
