Volume II, Level 1. Doomsday Chapter 41. birthday

The narrow tunnel, the warm orange lights flashed past the speeding cars, and the sound of speeding through the space with a burst of speed.

The girl in the back seat rested her head against the window glass, her eyes closed, her chest rising and falling slightly at regular intervals, as if she were asleep.

"Baby, baby, Lingling, wake up! Don't sleep! ”

A gentle female voice sounded next to her ears, Tang Ling frowned, opened her eyes with great effort, and only her small body could be seen in her blurred vision, the leather seat under her buttocks was a little uncomfortable, and her dizzy consciousness had not yet reflected where she was.

"Baby, are you awake?"

The gentle female voice came again, Tang Ling followed the voice, and in the co-pilot, the elegantly dressed woman leaned sideways, looking at her lovingly.

Tang Ling blinked a few times and looked blankly at the woman in front of her.

"Still motion sickness? If you insist on persevering, you will soon get off the ramp, and you will let Dad open the window to let in some wind later, and then insist on persevering, okay? ”

Seeing her daughter looking at her so strangely now, Qiu Yanling sighed helplessly, thinking that her child's motion sickness was indeed too serious, and the gaze that looked at Tang Ling became more pity, and she softened her voice to comfort Tang Ling.

"Mom?"

Tang Ling's head was still very chaotic now, her stomach couldn't stop rolling, she suppressed the feeling of wanting to vomit, looked at Qiu Yanling, and shouted unconsciously.

"Hey, are you still uncomfortable? It's coming soon, baby, hold on to it, okay? Baby is the best, right? ”

Qiu Yanling looked at Tang Ling's gradually pale face, and couldn't help feeling distressed, she said to Tang Jie, who was driving in the driver's seat: "Husband, put down the window in the back seat." ”

Tang Ling, who was still in a dazed state, suddenly felt a gust of breeze blowing on her face at this moment, and the dull air in the car was also purified at this time, Tang Ling unconsciously lay on the car door, greedily inhaling the fresh air outside the window, and the tumbling in her stomach seemed to be somewhat relieved.

"I knew that I wouldn't go back to the old house, and look at what Lingling has been tossed into now."

Qiu Yanling looked at Tang Ling's slightly improved face now, sat back in her seat with peace of mind, and complained to Tang Jie beside her.

"Okay, okay, this tunnel is almost there, bear with me." Tang Jie comforted Qiu Yanling beside him, "The old house that I have lived in for more than ten years is about to be demolished, so I will go back to this last time, and it is estimated that I will not be able to see it in the future." ”

"Did you call Mom? And the cake to get it? ”

"They've arrived, and I'll let Zhou Shu pick up the cake."

"Mom is really, she has to let us go back to the old house to celebrate Lingling's birthday, obviously I have booked a hotel before." Qiu Yanling pursed her lips and said in a slightly complaining tone.

Tang Jie smiled helplessly, he comforted Qiu Yanling a little, and then continued to concentrate on driving.

These grievances against his wife and his mother are not something that he can mediate with a sentence or two.

The car was calm and quiet again, and only the tires could be heard rubbing against the concrete road, sizzling, while the small car on the road accelerated past, the speed of a hundred yards cut through the narrow tunnel, and the crisp whistling sound from near and far, to the approaching white light.

Keep getting closer, closer, and finally, piercing through that layer of white light and being in the middle of it.

The wind is still whistling and running around at high speed, the green mountains are endless, flashing, the clear river extends into the distance, the farmhouse is placed between the green mountains and green waters, the white clouds and blue sky shine brightly, and the smell between the nose is the air with the smell of dew wrapped in the smell of grass and trees.

Tang Ling couldn't describe the feeling at this moment, but she could feel it, and she felt a long-lost comfort all over her body.

Even though her head was still dizzy, she visibly felt better.

"Lingling, are you better?"

Qiu Yanling turned her head again and asked Tang Ling, who was lying in front of the window and looking out of the window stupidly.

Tang Ling turned her head to look at Qiu Yanling, who was full of pity in front of her, nodded, and smiled at her: "Well, I feel good, Mom." ”

"Let's get there soon, be happy, today is your birthday, grandparents will come to celebrate for you."

"Okay."

Beipei District, City B, 9 a.m.

After more than an hour of driving, Tang Jie's family finally returned to their old house in the old city neighborhood.

This is a row of shops on the first floor are full of residents, residential buildings against the street, there is no exclusive parking lot, Tang Jie walked around the neighborhood a few times, only to find a temporary parking space 800 meters away from the old house, tossing for a long time, and finally finished the preparation before going home.

"Baby, remember here?"

Tang Jie went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, while Qiu Yanling took Tang Ling's hand and led her into the corridor of the residential building.

Tang Ling's old house has a little specialty, this row of entrances to the second floor of the residential building is all connected, the small open-air passage that extends out in front of these buildings is to the entrance of each second floor, there is a small terrace next to the building on the far left, and the two-story spiral staircase next to the terrace is the only passage connecting the first and second floors, and the residents of the whole row of buildings can only rely on this one entrance if they want to return home.

Tang Ling's old house is located in the leftmost building, Room 201.

Along the way, Qiu Yanling was telling Tang Ling about their family's previous experience of living here, and Tang Ling looked around and felt a little strange.

After all, this place dates back to when she was four or five years old.

And now, she's nine years old.

It's been four years since I left this place.

It's been four years since I left the city.

Every age group will have vague memories of each age group.

At least this place is too unfamiliar to Tang Ling.

"Oh, isn't this Yan Ling?"

There are only two residents on each floor of each building, and their doors are facing each other, and Hu Chenghui is the resident of room 202 opposite Qiu Yanling's house, where she lives with her wife and granddaughter, Hu Huiying.

The neighbor who hasn't seen her for a long time will actually see you again today, which really surprised Hu Chenghui.

"Isn't this Aunt Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Lingling, quick, say hello, call grandma. Qiu Yanling pulled Tang Ling beside her and called her to greet Hu Chenghui.

"Hello grandma." Tang Ling timidly shouted at Hu Chenghui.

"Hey, okay, Lingling has grown so big, how old is she this year?"

"I'm 8 years old, but I'm 9 years old after my birthday today. I haven't been back for a long time, and I plan to come back this year to celebrate my daughter's birthday in my hometown. ”

Qiu Yanling explained to Hu Chenghui, said goodbye to Hu Chenghui after a few more greetings, and then pulled Tang Ling home.

Before entering the door, Tang Ling could hear bursts of laughter and laughter coming from inside the rusty iron door.

Standing outside the door of Room 201, Qiu Yanling stood outside the iron door and knocked.

"Click."

The iron door was pushed open, and two old men stood inside.

"Mom, Dad, we're back."

Qiu Yanling said with a smile to the two old men, and pulled Tang Ling into the house.
