Chapter 2: Past and Present (1)

In the van, after my father and cousin threw me in the back seat, they sat in the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and did not say a word, as if they did not intend to explain their actions, and I, because I did not understand the situation, did not speak, and a silent atmosphere was brewing in the car.

The silence was indescribable, and I could hear my heart beating uneasily, and finally, I couldn't bear the silence and spoke:

"Dad, cousin, can you tell me what's going on?"

"Oh, Xiaoyo, you'll know then, it's a big surprise," my father smiled at me with a 'tiger' smile that could see two rows of white teeth.

"Well, I guarantee that you will never expect a surprise, Xiaoyou, and don't always call your cousin and cousin, just like before, just call Sister Jing directly. My cousin glanced in the rearview mirror and said without looking back.

"Oh, I see, Sister Jing" I just replied softly, looking at the way the two of them looked at this evil taste, I understood that it was probably impossible to ask something out of their mouths.

It didn't take long for me to suddenly feel that the scenery around me seemed familiar, was it an illusion?

...... Eh, the store is not ......

Before I could finish, the car had already stopped.

Ah, needless to say, the building in front of me is the gate of a school, the fence covered with gray tiles, the cement watered avenue, the street trees are as green as before, and the sign on the wall reads 'Chiba Prefectural Sowu High School', now I understand everything, I was dragged by my father and cousin just after getting off the plane, and then I was pulled to my former alma mater - Zongwu High School, it turned out that it was just to take me to my alma mater to remember, to recall my youth

...... What, I've been worried about it for so long.

But I quickly changed my mind.

"Hey, dad, don't drag me I will go by myself, Sister Jing, why did you suddenly take out a uniform, for...... Why do you want to take off my clothes?ah!?......!!!ahh......h Oops (I dare to pack this product definitely didn't think that way at first)!

While I was doing my messy brain patch, Dad spoke:

"Xiao Jing, this child will be handed over to you, you must take care of him! After all, Chigusa and I only have such a son, and Mitsuki only has such an older brother......" My father's expression now is just like that time, looking at me with extremely gentle eyes, as if there is a surprise of the child's growth, and there is a trace of sadness that cannot be erased, and finally glanced at me.

My father walked into the distance without looking back, without stopping a single step, I don't know if it was an illusion, my father's back seemed to be much thinner than before, and his pace was not as steady or calm as before.

When I was about to go abroad, I just had my fourteenth birthday, and I was one meter six tall, just as tall as Sister Cannon in the magic ** catalog, to be honest, this height is not very short, but because of staying at home for a long time, or the library and classroom, the reason why the body has not been exercised for a long time, so it looks very thin, a thin teenager dragging a suitcase that is wider than the body, this kind of appearance probably makes the parents very worried.

When I was sent on the plane, the father who had always supported the whole family by himself, the man who had never cried in front of me, the existence that he thought was omnipotent when he was a child, but his eyes were red at the time.

The scene is still etched in my mind to this day, and I will never forget it

============================= divider line ============================= in memory

On the day I left for the United States, I was standing at the entrance of the plane, and my father was standing outside the blockade.

Because the suitcase is a little big, it can't be passed from below, so my father raised the suitcase vigorously and wanted to hand me the suitcase that was larger than my whole volume, but it seemed that he couldn't lift it in mid-air, so I hurried to pick it up, but two people were still not enough, and then it was moved up with the help of the flight attendant.

After thanking the flight attendants, a nice female voice sounded, which reminded the departure time of this flight, and the time to leave has finally arrived.

After my father carefully admonished me, due to the time constraints, he had to leave slowly under the persuasion of the flight attendants, at this time, a bleak autumn wind blew, blowing through my father's temples, and a few strands of silver hair swayed in the air, indicating their presence.

At that time, when I saw my father's gray hair and a trace of wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart, as if something was blocked, and the feeling was still clear until now.

Ah, my father is also old, really, the years are unforgiving!

What about the mother who was tired at home every day and worried about me and my sister?

Mom and Dad, I'm sorry that my son has worried you, and I really feel lucky to be your child.

So...... Please, you must live a long life, and you must live a happy life!

Little sister, during my absence, the family will rely on you, I must get along with my parents well, and I must not be tempered.

Although I know that Mitsuki has always been a good boy and has a lot more peace of mind than me, I still can't help but think so.

I looked at my mother, who was waving to me, and although she was still smiling as usual, I noticed something different in it, and I didn't know the meaning of that smile until later.

The little sister on the side has been crying since I said goodbye to her, to be honest, it is really troublesome, how can I relax and go to study abroad?

But soon I didn't need to hesitate, my mother didn't know what to say in the ear of the little sister, she wiped the tears from her face, patted her cheeks, regained her old vitality and smiled, waved her hand to me vigorously, the little face was probably blown by the wind, and shouted loudly with a red face:

"Ernie sauce, take care!" and Mitsuki's lips quivered slightly, making lip shapes, but no sound reached my ears.

(Mom and Dad and I will always think about you) - this is a lip talk, a little secret between us, Mitsuki still remembers clearly. Well, barely able to read it.

"Take care~~" (my most important family father, mother, and Mitsuki) - lip language

Mitsuki nodded heavily and waved her hand at me vigorously.

Sure enough, our family Meiyue is very sensible, worthy of my proud sister, my brother is proud of you!! (chest up)

However, what I didn't expect was that the mother on the side also made the same action as the little sister, nodding at me, I remember that my mother should not know lip language, but why?

For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped into my mind at this time: mother and son are connected

Yes, a mother is a mother, although I don't know lip language, but the child's desire to express my heart has been accurately accepted, and sure enough, my mother is still so 'strong'.

In the face of my family's blessings, I didn't know what to do, but I could only hold back my tears and wave my hand to them in a very energetic manner.

- I didn't want them to worry, and I didn't want to let my efforts and my family's efforts go to waste, that was the only thing I thought at that time.

And so I boarded a plane to California, USA, and began my education.

When I first came to the U.S. to study, I felt so strange, I was both nervous and excited about a new environment, and I was really strange that humans were creatures

I was surrounded by people I didn't know, my dearest parents and sister were not around, and I felt like I had been abandoned by the whole world, and I really didn't want to go through it a second time.

If it weren't for the old man's care and help, I guess I wouldn't have been able to survive in the United States, but now whether it's work, study, or life, everything is on the right track,...... I guess so.
