In the afternoon of the same day, Huaien and I boarded the train to Shanxi.

Huai En had been extremely excited since the moment he set off with me, swept away his previous sadness, and seemed to be full of anticipation for this unexpected trip, chattering non-stop along the way.

And my mood was obviously not as relaxed as hers, and I was always in a state of excitement and nervousness.

Time flies, and the days in Tibet seem like yesterday, but three years have passed. Wei Lai, who was only more than three years old at the time, is now nearly seven years old. It may seem like a long time has passed, but those years are still so new to me, and I know that some memories never go far.

But I know better what time means to a child, and I can't be sure if Wei Lai still remembers me, remembering one of her former fathers?

"Uncle, what if Wei Lai doesn't remember you?" Huai En probably guessed my mind when he saw my six gods and no master, and looked at me with big eyes and asked.

"No, Wei Lai must remember me, you don't know, how sticky she was to me at that time!" I replied in the affirmative, but I didn't know that excessive affirmation was a sign of lack of confidence.

"I mean, if, Wei Lai was only more than three years old at that time, a child who was more than three years old would not have such a long memory. Would you be sad if she didn't recognize you? ”

I was slightly stunned when I heard this, in fact, I also know that children's memories are the most unbearable for the passage of time, and they are also the most receptive to new things in life, although I don't want to admit it, but what Huai En said is undoubtedly true.

I twisted my head out of the window, looked at the fast-moving scene, and then slowly said, "Actually, even if she has forgotten me, it doesn't matter, I just need to know that she is happy." If she really doesn't remember me, I just need to look at her from afar, I just miss her so much! As long as I can look at her again, it can be regarded as a knot in my heart, and I finally live up to the agreement with Wei Lai. ”

"What is the agreement between you and Wei Lai?" Huai Enqi said.

"On the day Wei Lai left, I promised her that she would go to see her soon, but I carelessly lost her address, if it weren't for you, I would even think I would never see Wei Lai again in my life!"

At this point, I suddenly realized that I was able to regain the news of Wei Lai because of Huai'en's work, and I have not thanked her until now.

So I turned my head to look at Huai En, who was sitting beside me, and said to her very seriously: "Huai En, thank you!" ”

Seeing my solemn appearance, Huai En looked a little embarrassed.

"Don't thank me yet, it's not certain whether that girl is your Wei Lai or not, do you know how many people named Wei Lai are in the world! If not, I'm not going to make you look forward to it! Huai'en spoke and pulled my emotions back.

Although I don't know why I am so sure, I believe in my sixth sense, not only because the conditions are very consistent, I vaguely feel that the girl I want to see must be my daughter, and it seems that there is a mysterious force in the dark that dominates my nerves, so I firmly believe in it.

"Uncle, can you tell me about Wei Lai?" Huai En also seemed to be full of curiosity about the girl I was eager to meet.

So in this train carriage to Shanxi, I once again turned out my memories one by one and told them to Huaien.

Unlike other memories in my life, this memory with Wei Lai is sweet, although it still inevitably ends in parting and sadness.

But at least we're okay with each other, and now I've heard from her again, even now I'm on my way to see her. The sadness of parting at the beginning seems to add some joy to the imminent reunion.

The light outside the car window gradually darkened as I spoke leisurely, and night began to fall on the earth.

Huaien leaned on my shoulder, put his arm around me, and listened quietly. When I finished telling all the things about Wei Lai, she finally fell asleep on my shoulder.

After a night of travel, the train finally stopped at Shanxi Yuncheng Railway Station the next morning.

Huaien probably had never traveled by train for such a long time, because she was in a hurry, she did not buy a sleeping car, and she slept on my shoulder until midnight, and I saw that she was really uncomfortable, so I put her head on my knee and let her lie on her side on the seat to rest.

Rao was so, and when I woke her up, she was still tired, and it was clear that she hadn't had a good night's rest.

On the contrary, I didn't close my eyes all night, but I still looked bright. The more the train moved forward, the more excited my spirit became.

When the train finally arrived at its destination, I could barely contain the excitement in my heart.

Huaien was woken up by me and looked around sleepily. Then she realized that her head had fallen on my lap at some point, and she smiled at me lightly, not embarrassed.

Huai En stood up, moved his stiff limbs, twisted his neck, and then said to me, "Uncle, are we here?" ”

As I took my luggage down from the luggage rack, I said to her, "We're here, are you sleeping well?" ”

Huai En smiled at me again, and only replied sweetly: "Good!" ”

After leaving the train station, Huaien and I found a breakfast shop, borrowed the bathroom in the store, washed up briefly, and ordered some breakfast at random.

After breakfast, Huai En and I took a bus to another county seat, I didn't ask Huai En for the specific address, but I vaguely knew that I was not far from Wei Lai.

The car stopped two hours later, and I knew that we had finally arrived in Weilai's city, which made my heart even more excited.

At the same time, there is also a hint of unease. I couldn't help but think to myself, what should I do if Wei Lai really didn't remember me anymore as Huai En said? Will I be sad? I guess it will.

She was only a young child when she left me, only three years old, and now, three years have passed, almost half of her life. Three years is a long way for a six-year-old child, and it's normal for her not to remember me.

But in my heart, I still desperately want Wei Lai to be able to call me Daddy again.

The taxi finally stopped in front of the courtyard of a wall plaque that said "Future Kindergarten", and the driver told us that this was where we were going.

I paid the fare, and when I got out of the bus, my legs trembled a little, and my heart was pounding.

I looked up at the four-story building with the words "Future Kindergarten" written on the wall, and I was stunned for a moment.

The name of this kindergarten is actually the same pronunciation as Wei Lai's name, I don't know if it's a coincidence or there are other factors in it that I don't know. But it undoubtedly made me more convinced that my Wei Lai was close at the moment, and there was only a wall away from me, so how could this not make me feel throbbing.

Huai En looked at me quietly, she could probably understand my mood at the moment, and quietly grabbed my arm.

Huai En and I went to the guard room in front of the kindergarten and told the security guard about our visit. The security guard told us that we were not allowed to visit the park during school hours. But then he raised his wrist and looked at the time, and told us that it was Friday, and the children could leave school early after the morning class, saying that school would be out in 20 minutes, and that if we were not in a hurry, we might as well wait at the school gate for a while.

Huai En knew my eagerness, and wanted to step forward to say something, but I stretched out my hand to stop me.

"Let's wait a while." I said to Huaien.

Huaien looked back at me, and stepped aside with me in silence.

Actually, there is another reason why I don't want to go into the kindergarten to meet Wei Lai now.

I wondered if Wei Lai would remember me without any hints, so I wondered if she would recognize me when she came out of school and when I appeared to her as a passerby.

The weather in the north is cold, but there is no snow. Huaien and I sat quietly under a tree not far from the entrance of the kindergarten. But in my heart, I was already uneasy.

As time passed, I felt for the first time that sometimes time can go away silently, and sometimes it is so slow that people almost collapse. At this moment, it seems that there are countless scales between every second, so slow that it feels suffocating.

As time passed, some people began to come to the entrance of the kindergarten one after another, each holding a card in their hands, standing or squatting at the entrance of the kindergarten.

I can probably guess that these people are supposed to be here to pick up their own children from the kindergarten.

There are also some vendors selling snacks or small toys, pushing trolleys and coming here, I think they also figured out the time of the kindergarten and came here to earn a little money.

As the crowd gathered, my eyes began to wander in the crowd, hoping to see Wei Lai's biological parents, Jiang Chengxiu or the girl named Xiaolan, but I never found those two familiar faces.

This made me feel a little troubled and lost, and although I was so sure a moment ago, I was a little apprehensive when the answer was about to be revealed.

I don't know how disappointed I would have been if the little girl named Jiang Weilai who came out of it later was not my Wei Lai.

A moment later, a bell rang in the kindergarten. My heart beat wildly as the bell rang, and I stood up involuntarily.

Huai'en's hand holding my arm on the side was also trembling slightly, and I knew that her heart was also nervous.

After the bell rang, the characteristic noise of children began to be heard in the kindergarten. Like a flock of birds waiting to return to their nests, chirp!

The door of the kindergarten was opened, and the person who picked up the child instantly went up. They use the card in their hands to swipe on a machine, and the machine will automatically broadcast the child's name, and the child who is called the name will be taken out of it and handed over to the adult, which shows that the safety awareness of the kindergarten is quite in place.

I was squeezed by the crowd on the periphery, although my heart was more eager than anyone else, but I didn't have a card in my hand that could call out Wei Lai's name, and it was in vain to squeeze in, so I had to force myself to suppress the excitement in my heart, waiting for the machine to call out Wei Lai's name!

After more than ten minutes of suffering, most of the crowd outside the school gate finally dispersed, and I finally heard the name that has haunted my dreams for the past three years: Jiang Weilai!

My heart seemed to burst from my chest, my breathing became rapid in an instant, I stood on the periphery of the crowd, almost as if I wanted to tear through the crowd and rush in, I couldn't wait even a second, God knows how much I missed my Wei Lai!
