In the blink of an eye, the exciting Spring Festival holiday is coming.

The day before returning home, Yanxiao said goodbye to her colleagues one by one and said happy new year to each other. After work, I went out to buy some local specialties and stuffed a big suitcase. After saying goodbye to He Mengmeng, who shared the house again, in the evening, the next day, Yanxiao happily boarded the train home.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm almost at the train station. When you get off the bus in a moment, I'll call you again, and you can wait for me at home with peace of mind. ”

The night before, I packed up my things and tossed it late, and after hanging up the phone, Yanxiao put on headphones and closed my eyes on the train to recuperate. When I opened my eyes again, the train had already begun to whistle into the station.

Getting up and carrying the bulky suitcase in his hand, Yanxiao was pushed and carried by the people rushing home in the carriage, and soon got off the car.

However, as soon as I walked to the exit of the station, in the crowd of people who picked up the station at the door, a familiar face that was looking this way came into my eyes.

It was my mother who came.

Excitedly pushed the box in his hand, trotted with a smile, and quickly walked out of the station.

"Mom! What are you doing here? They all said that you should wait for me at home. ”

After pretending to blame her mother who was smiling gently at her, Yanxiao couldn't help but reach out and hug her gently.

"Your Uncle Shen knew that I was worried about you coming back, so he said that he would drive over to pick you up." Chen Ruya explained as she reached out and combed her daughter's slightly messy hair.

"Where's Uncle Shen?" Yan Xiao stretched her neck and looked around, but she didn't notice Shen Yue.

"He's going to park, and he's supposed to be coming soon."

Just nodding his head, an urgent voice came from not far away, "Oh, it's coming, it's too difficult to find a parking space at the train station at the end of the year, I've made a big circle." ”

Panting and running to the mother and daughter who were looking at him, Shen Yue calmed down his breath before greeting Yan Xiao, "Little girl, you don't know how much your mother is talking about you at home." As he spoke, he picked up the box in Yanxiao's hand again, "Let's go, go home." ”

The car was speeding all the way, and in the whispered conversation between Yanxiao and Chen Ruya holding hands warmly, the car soon came to the underground parking lot of the community where Shen Yue and Chen Ruya lived.

"Last time you came in a hurry, you didn't prepare anything, this time your mother has already cleaned up your room, and everything in the house is picked according to your preferences. Go up and see if you like it in a moment? After parking the car, Shen Yue got out of the car, and while opening the trunk to get something, he laughed with Yan who had already gotten out of the car.

"But......" glanced at her mother, who was smiling and nodding, and hesitated before swallowing back the words that had rolled to her lips.

"But what?"

“...... Nothing mommy. ”

At this moment, Shen Yue in front of him was smiling considerately at his mother, and he was also extremely thoughtful and had nothing to say to her. However, the thought of spending the most important moment of the year with this stranger this year suddenly made Yan Xiao's heart feel a little awkward.

Waiting for the elevator with his mother, he followed Shen Yue and leaned into Chen Ruya's ear with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "Does Dad know that I'm coming back today?" ”

After raising her eyes and glancing at Baba's daughter, Chen Ruya lowered her eyes, considered the language in her heart, and then whispered back, "I know, but he's still busy today, so let me talk to you, and he'll call you later." ”

At this time, there was an elevator "ding" and the door opened in front of them.

"Oh." After answering without hearing emotion, Yan Xiao was silent, took Chen Ruya's hand, and walked into the elevator.

The last time I came, because my mother was sick, Yanxiao didn't have the time and energy to think too much. However, at this time, when she stepped into her mother's new home again, Yan Xiao had a strange feeling in her heart, which made her uncomfortable.

"Sitting, talking, laughing, why are you standing stupidly?"

After pushing the luggage into Yanxiao's room, Shen Yue turned around and saw Yanxiao standing in the living room with his fingers twisted and a cramped face.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Shen." smiled politely, and subconsciously, Yanxiao began to look around for her mother's figure.

At this time, Chen Ruya was preparing dinner for Yanxiao in the kitchen, and there were a variety of dishes, all of which her daughter liked to eat.

It's been a long time since I've cooked a meal for my child, and Chen Ruya has bitter memories spreading in her heart, and she unconsciously sped up the action of chopping vegetables in her hands.

"Mom?" The smile outside the door probed and walked in.

"I'll do the cooking, you go and rest." Without saying anything, she snatched the kitchen knife in Chen Ruya's hand, and cut it with a smile.

However, Chen Ruya turned around and picked up another dish, and while picking it carefully, she looked at her daughter's expression and asked, "What's wrong, smile?" What's on your mind? ”

"No, Mom, what can I do? I'm happier than anything else to come back and see you healthy. Cutting the vegetables, he replied without raising his head.

"Let's go to your dad's a year ago and see him." seemed to understand the hidden pain in her daughter's heart, Chen Ruya thought about it, and still said what she thought in her heart.

Hearing this, Yanxiao's action of chopping vegetables suddenly stopped, she lowered her head, did not make a sound, and a small and stubborn side face looked expressionless. After a while, he looked up at his mother with a concerned face as if he had reacted to something, and smiled, "Okay, I know Mom." ”

After dinner, it was completely dark outside the window. Yanxiao was also urged by her mother to go back to her new room to rest.

Sitting in the new chair in front of the window, Yan Xiao raised her eyes and looked around, in the room with bright and clean windows, comfortable and soft bed, spacious wardrobe, pale pink and clean walls, everything looked so perfect, but at this moment, Yan Xiao suddenly began to miss her small, everything was old.

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Yanxiao's memories.

She picked it up and looked at it, and the word "Dad" on the screen made her can't help but look forward to it for a moment.

"Daddy?"

"Hey, smile, are you back today? Where's your mom? Dad's voice on the phone sounded a little busy and absent-minded.

"Well, what about Mom, did you work overtime again today?" Thinking of being snubbed by his father today, Yan Xiao's tone couldn't help but reveal a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Didn't your mother tell you? Today, your Aunt Liao has a prenatal checkup, she is a month old, and I don't feel at ease when I go by myself, so I will accompany her to the prenatal checkup first. I was thinking of calling you when I got back, but I forgot about it when I was busy, hehe. The father on the other end of the phone laughed embarrassedly, listened quietly with the smile, and also echoed the father and laughed twice, but the next second the smile was put away, the corners of his mouth drooped, and a faint bitterness spread in his heart.

"Then you take care of her first, I'll hang up my dad first." After speaking, without waiting for the person on the other side to make a sound, Yanxiao quickly hung up the phone.

Throwing the phone on the table, Yan smiled and got up, and fell weakly on the bed behind him, hugging the soft quilt, but between the wings of his nose, it was a strange smell.

Long, silent sleepless nights.

In the middle of the night, I don't know when, Yanxiao fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up again, it was already bright outside the window, and there was a knock on the door.

"Smiling? Wake up, get up and have breakfast. Mom bought the raw fried that you like to eat. Through the door panel, Chen Ruya's voice came faintly.

"Oh, get up, Mom, I'll change my clothes first." Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Yan Xiao sat up and shouted out the door.

After washing up in a hurry, when Yanxiao approached the table, Chen Ruya and Shen Yue were discussing something while eating.

Seeing Yan Xiao coming, Shen Yue waved to her and said, "Yan Xiao, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, your mother and I plan to go to the supermarket to buy some more New Year goods, do you have anything you want to buy?" Why don't you just come with us. ”

Chen Ruya on the side also nodded in agreement, looking at Yan Xiao with expectant eyes.

"Hmm...... I'm not going, my dad called me last night and I'm going to go over and see him today......"

seemed to see her daughter's embarrassed face, Chen Ruya understood in her heart, so she didn't say anything anymore, just brought the fried fried food that was still hot on the table to Yanxiao, and urged her daughter, "Eat it quickly, or it will be cold in a while." I'll tell you your dad's address when I'm done. ”

In fact, according to the original intention of Yanxiao, she just wanted to use the excuse of going to see her father and politely refused her mother's invitation, and she didn't really plan to go to see her father. However, at this moment, she who had been driven downstairs by Shen Yue to her father's house without saying anything, looked at the few gift boxes left by Shen Yue on the ground, but she really didn't know what to do.

Looking up at the unfamiliar residential building in front of him, Yan Xiao couldn't help but become entangled in his heart.

This other home, do you want to go up?
