February 6, 2016, afternoon.

There is still a week to go until the end of the winter vacation on the 13th.

As the holiday draws to a close, migrant workers have to leave their hometowns and embark on a new journey.

On the contrary,

Su Chen boarded the train to his hometown.

In the compartment of the carriage,

The bickering of two people sounded every day.

"Liu Qingsong, why did I persuade you to go to Fuqing every day to play, but you didn't come when you died, Chenchen said a word, your head is like a grandson?"

"Lao Tzu is willing, do you have an opinion?"

"Hehe, Dad is waiting for you to sleep on the streets."

"Am I sleeping on the streets? Chenchen, you know what I mean, right? ”

"Come to my house, come to my house, my bed is big."

Holding the schoolbag bulging on his chest, Su Chen never broke the smile on his face from the moment he got into the car.

From time to time, I looked at the scenery outside the window, and I made a 'roar' appearance.

"Alas, the kid is hopeless."

Liu Qingsong raised his hand to support his forehead.

"Chenchen, isn't it only 30,000 yuan, are you happy to be like this?"

Early in the morning, I was called to the bank to withdraw money,

Lin Weixiang couldn't help but complain, "Hold the strange tired, hurry up and put down the schoolbag, no one really steals your money." ”

Of course

He also completely forgot that when he earned his first monthly salary, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not tired."

Wen Yan,

Instead, Su Chen hugged the schoolbag on his chest a little tighter, and swept his vigilant gaze to passers-by, but he was afraid that people would not know that he had brought a baby.

"Forget it, it's up to you." Lin Weixiang shook his head helplessly, anyway, it was only a little more than three hours by car, which was not too long.

On the way,

"By the way, Chenchen, can I ask you something? If you don't want to answer, you can not answer. Liu Qingsong tentatively spoke.

"Uh... Brother Songsong, you say. Su Chen was stunned.

"That is, I heard you say that you are also a single-parent family like me, are you raised by your mother or your father?"

After Liu Qingsong asked, he was a little nervous, "Of course, it's okay if it's inconvenient for you to answer, I'll just ask casually." ”

"What's the matter, like Brother Songsong, I was also raised by my mother."

Su Chen shook his head with a natural expression: "As for my father, the two of them have a discordant relationship, they have been fighting, they have been divorced since I can remember, and now I have heard that he is in the field, and I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

"Emotional incompatibility, just like our family."

Liu Qingsong was bitter and sympathetic, "But Chenchen, you are worse than me, at least I can still see him occasionally." ”

"Auntie, it should have been very hard to take you to live all these years, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Qingsong let go of the loneliness in his heart, and became a little closer to Su Chen.

"Well, it's really hard."

Speaking of his mother, Su Chen nodded heavily, dependence and admiration flashed in his eyes, he was not afraid of his family, but was proud.

His mother was a family from the countryside, and at that time, the preference for sons was more serious, there were many brothers and brothers, and they never went to school at all, so they helped the family do farm work since they were children.

When you grow up,

met his father, the two quarreled and divorced after a few years of marriage, and his mother had no face to return to the countryside.

Without the help of any relatives and friends, he relied on setting up a stall to support Su Chen, who couldn't walk at that time.

Until Su Chen was 16 years old,

Not only has the stall become a small shop, but it also has a house of about 100 square meters.

It's just that

The devouring mortgage is still pressing on my mother's thin shoulders.

But now,

"I can carry everything!"

Su Chen proudly hugged his schoolbag and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, it had never been as beautiful and charming as it was today!

In the blink of an eye,

It's getting closer and closer to home,

……

……

——Zhongxing Road Vegetable Market,

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the vegetable market, except for the messy vegetable leaves, plus the sanitation workers endured the cold and cleaned up, there were no pedestrians.

And on the opposite side of the vegetable market,

There are not many customers in the various shops.

The winter sun shines through the glass and makes people drowsy.

The whole street,

Except for the 'rustling' of the broom, there was no other sound, which seemed a little lonely and cold.

"It's so cold, and I don't know if Chenchen's clothes are enough, do you want to send some more?"

Thinking of my precious son,

The woman sitting in the shop, feeling the cold air outside, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes filled with worry and longing.

Once she was,

It was very disgusting that Su Chen was far away, shouting and screaming at the top of his throat, and running to her store at every turn, twisting and grinding for a while, asking for two or three yuan to buy spicy noodles.

But when these are gone,

It also makes the woman feel that her heart is empty, and when she often returns home, she will cry silently and cannot sleep at night.

Thinking about it,

The corners of the woman's eyes were moist again.

suddenly

"Mommy !!"

A howl of ghosts and wolves broke the silence of the entire street in an instant.

"This voice?!"

The woman's face instantly came alive, and she scrambled to her feet, and before she could get out of the store.

"Mom!!"

A tall boy in a black down jacket rushed into the store, and the atmosphere of youth and vitality was envied by those who watched.

"I'm back!!"

Seeing his mother's thin body, Su Chen opened his arms and hugged him directly, his laughter was clear, and he was a little prankster, "Haha, how is my mother, are you surprised?" ”

Until this time,

Only then did the woman really know that her son had returned.

A burst of crying and laughing at the end of the old days,

"Mom, wait a minute."

Su Chen hurriedly walked out of the store, poked his head out, and beckoned happily, "Brother Xiang, Brother Songsong, here and here." ”

"Who is Brother Songsong?"

The woman noticed the unfamiliar name.

"Brother Songsong, it's me... The friends I met at work usually take good care of me and often buy me food. ”

Swallowing the word 'teammate' in his mouth, Su Chen wanted to save this surprise for the end.

soon

Lin Weixiang, who was carrying a schoolbag, and Liu Qingsong, who was with his hands in his pockets, walked into the store in turn.

"Hello Auntie."

Liu Qingsong lowered his hands and greeted him with a little restraint.

"Chenchen said that you often take care of him, and you must stay for dinner at night, and Auntie personally cooked a delicious meal for you to express her gratitude."

The woman's smile was very kind,

"Uh... No, no, we'll go to the restaurant later. ”

Catching a glimpse of the dazed Liu Qingsong and the green-faced Lin Weixiang, Su Chen hurriedly interrupted.

"To the hotel?"

The hesitation in the woman's eyes flashed, but she immediately smiled and nodded gently, "Okay, let's go to the restaurant to eat at night, we can't treat Chenchen's friends badly, Auntie will go get the money now." ”

"No need, Mom, I've got money!"

"You're paid?"

"That's right, it's a big deal."

Su Chen's eyebrows fluttered, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, and he reached out and quickly pulled down the roller shutter above his head.

Before the woman could show her doubts.

"Mom, I'll show you a gift."

Taking the schoolbag handed by Brother Xiang, Su Chen pulled his mother to the small table for eating, and couldn't wait, "Sit down, sit down." ”

"Why do you mess with the money again, what kind of gifts do I want when I am old, can I return them?"

The woman complained, but sat down obediently.

"Ahem~"

Pulling open the schoolbag, Su Chen coughed lightly,

The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't stop rising, he reached out and held the bound red bricks, took them out suddenly, and pushed them all in front of the woman's eyes, "Bang ~ Mom, a gift for you." ”

"Isn't it just salary? I thought I..."

The woman just showed a touched look, but suddenly saw the thickness of the banknote in front of her, but she was stunned on the spot, "This... This money..."

"30,000 yuan, my salary!"

Su Chen smiled and chose a showdown.

"Thirty thousand?!"

The woman's mouth opened in astonishment,

The expected joy did not appear, but grabbed Su Chen's sleeve in a panic, "Chenchen, have you done something bad, otherwise, otherwise how could you make so much money in a month." ”

"Mom, who am I in your eyes?" Su Chen expressed his grievances.

"Auntie, this money is earned by Chenchen and us."

Due to the communication in the car, Lin Weixiang took the initiative to help.

"Playing professionally?"

The woman's face gradually became a little wrong.

"Mom, listen to me!!"

Su Chen's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly told all the previous plans, and boasted about how well he lived there, the team was friendly, and the boss was good.

Liu Qingsong also spoke appropriately.

Many times,

An outsider often speaks more effectively than a family member.

ultimately

Looking at the three pleading teenagers, the woman looked at the 30,000 yuan in front of the table, hesitated for a while, and chose to believe.

……

……

(ps: In the future, the family aspect is basically gone, which can be regarded as cutting into its own life,

In the days to come, I hope that every book friend, including myself, can have the opportunity to pursue their dreams like Su Chen. ）
