Mei Fang has always had a very subtle emotion for his hometown.

Occasionally, he misses the various delicacies he has eaten in his hometown since he was a child, but he is also afraid of the various people in his hometown.

For example, I will be asked how much money I earn a month in Pengcheng, whether I have a partner, whether I am ready to buy a house and other topics.

And then there's what, "It's hard money to work in a big city, so it's better to come back early and stabilize." ”

"My second aunt's child, I earned hundreds of thousands of dollars at home casually, no faster than you came to Pengcheng."

Comparisons and hints like this are always endless.

As for the memories of the past, the only thing worth recalling is his good friend named Zhang Ming.

But since he became an employee of Huaxing and transferred to Wu Conan, there has been no news, and I don't know what is happening now.

I just hope this guy still has a chance to meet alive......

"What are you thinking?"

The next seat of the high-speed rail is Lin Youxi, who is looking at Mei Fang with his cheeks up, and his beautiful eyes like jewels are staring curiously at his cohabitant, "Are you thinking, how to introduce me to my uncle and aunt after I go back?" ”

"I've already sent a message to talk about it before, saying it's a friend."

"But aunts and uncles still think about it, right?"

"That's for sure...... How can there be friends of the opposite sex who rest in their own homes. ”

Mei Fang reminded Lin Youxi, "Say it in advance, my hometown is very small, there is nothing special except in the city, if you don't get used to it, it's best to live in a hotel by yourself." ”

"Why, don't you want our relationship to be misunderstood by our parents? That's not going to happen. ”

Lin Youxi shook his head, "I also want you to remind me to take medicine." ”

Mei Fang was a little helpless: "When you don't have me, don't you remember to take your medicine on time?" ”

"I used to be happy living alone, but not anymore."

Lin Youxi nodded Mei Fang's nose and reminded, "Hmph, since that nasty guy pulled my car window, I can't live a good life alone now!" ”

is obviously a very sweet couple flirting and scolding, but Mei Fang always feels a little unreal, and after being pulled by Lin Youxi for a while, she can't help but complain:

"When I first met you, I was obviously a cold royal sister with a story, how did I become the same as a little girl now?"

"You don't know me, how can you say that I'm a change?"

Lin Youxi held his cheeks and looked at Mei Fang, and the two looked at each other like this for a while, and finally Mei Fang couldn't help but look away.

"yes, I won!" Lin Youxi smiled.

"Childish is not childish." Mei Fang expressed disgust.

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Yuanyuan liked to play this with you the most when I was a child, and your answer now is exactly the same as when I was a child, it's amazing." ”

"You're talking about kindergarten, how can you remember it so clearly? It must have been at least 20 years ago. ”

Lin Youxi said softly, "I dreamed of her last night. ”

"The dream may not be real, it may just be a mess of memory."

"Even if it's fictional, it's beautiful."

Lin Youxi reminded Mei Fang, "By the way, this small section can also be used as a plot and put it in our "White Plum Time", okay?" ”

"That's fine...... "Mei Fang thought it was a good idea.

"Speaking of which, when we go back to our hometown this time, we are still burdened with the important task of collecting wind!"

"Picking?"

"That's right, we do "White Plum Time", we have to collect and sort out some hometown elements of the scenery information, when the time comes, some maps and materials have to be well collected and investigated, several important blocks in BR County, and some school layout and architectural design, we are now almost done with the overall framework, now we have to find an art to do."

"Speaking of which, it's a big cost to hire art......

Mei Fang asked Lin Youxi, "Is your budget enough?" ”

Lin Youxi shook his head, "You don't have to worry about money, I can earn it, you just have to work hard." ”

"Don't look at me in a small company, I still have a sum of money, if you want to do a good game, you have to spend what you should spend."

"Oh, you still have to keep the money for your future daughter-in-law, do you know how much bride price girls get now?"

Lin Youxi patted Mei Fang's head, "How low is the probability of making money in our game, as a well-informed master planner, you should know better than me, right?" ”

"It's not a matter of making money or not...... Even if it's word-of-mouth and reputation, the higher the quality, the better, and it's easy to change jobs and find a job in the future......"

"That's right, haha......"

The topic suddenly fell into a strange silent atmosphere, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang bowed their heads and were silent for a while, and then Mei Fang raised his head and said, "Anyway, how much bride price do girls want now?" ”

"Why do you ask this, how do I know...... I didn't have my parents to teach me. Lin Youxi smiled.

"And how much do you want for yourself?"

Lin Youxi stared at Mei Fang for a while, "You can't afford it." ”

"Can't ask?"

"No, you don't want to beat me."

"I can't beat your mind, can someone else?"

Mei Fang stared at Lin Youxi's eyes, and this time neither of the two avoided his gaze first.

"Are you jealous?"

"Well," Mei Fang nodded, "can't you?" ”

Lin Youxi smiled and shook her head, and before Mei Fang continued to speak, she held Mei Fang's cheek and kissed it directly.

The unscrupulous behavior of the two soon attracted a warning from the high-speed rail crew.

"Hey, you two, behave on the high-speed rail! It's a public place! ”

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi got off the high-speed rail station, and after a busy security check, they finally set foot on the land of Baimei County.

"Woo! Now this new high-speed rail station is really well repaired, much better than the previous dilapidated train station. ”

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang got out of the station, and they had been greedily breathing the air of Baimei County, and then they tilted their heads and looked at Mei Fang and said:

"It's been a long, long time since I came back, is Pan Kee beef noodles still open? I want to eat. ”

"It's open."

Mei Fang pushed the suitcase and said as he walked, "If you want to eat, why don't you come back?" ”

"It's boring to eat alone, I used to eat with fate and my father, but now it's good for you to accompany me."

Lin Youxi asked as he walked, "Ah Fang, what kind of people are your parents?" ”

"What kind of person ......?"

Mei Fang thought for a while, "My dad has a lively personality, but he has some unreliable feelings...... My mom is a little bit controlling, but she's reasonable, and occasionally likes to do things, so it should have gotten better in the past few years. But my parents are generally honest and responsible people, and they are relatively easy to get along with. ”

"Anyway, you are single in the mother's womb, haven't you brought a girl home for a long time?"

"What do you call a long time......

Mei Fang corrected Lin Youxi's statement, "It's never been, okay!" ”

"Okay, never!"

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were talking, laughing and chatting, and suddenly Mei Fang was slapped on the head from behind:

"Boy! Didn't you see your dad at all? You don't even pay attention to saying hello to you! ”

"I'm ...... Dad, you're scared to death—"

The man with thinning hair who appeared in front of Mei Fanglin Youxi was Mei Lijun, he looked dark-skinned, and there were many folds on his face, all of which were traces of hard work, but his spirit was still very full, "Come, I'll carry your luggage." ”

"Didn't you say you didn't have to take it?"

"Isn't it like it's been a long time since I've been back, and I want to surprise you?"

"I don't need such a surprise."

Mei Fang and his father quarreled and talked every day, and forgot to introduce Lin Youxi's existence to his father for a while, Lin Youxi finally caught the gap between father and son talking, and went up to say hello.

“…… Hello uncle, uncle. ”

"Hello, hello! You're the friend Mei Fang said, right? ”

Mei Lijun really didn't expect his son to bring back such a beautiful friend of the opposite sex, and after being stunned for a long time, he scratched his head and promised in Mandarin, "Huan, welcome to Baimei County to play!" ”

"Dad! Didn't I say it, Youxi was originally from Baimei County, so you don't need it! ”

"Ahh

"You can still be nervous......"

Mei Fang felt that her father had been embarrassed and embarrassed, so she leaned over and apologized to Lin Youxi:

"I'm sorry, that's how my dad is."

"Why apologize......

Lin Youxi whispered to Mei Fang, "I think your father is very cute." ”

Lin Youxi, who Mei Fang is well known to, has always been a bad woman who likes to tease herself, but she is extremely reserved in front of her elders, which is indeed unexpected by him.

Mei Lijun led Mei Fang to his motorcycle, and Mei Fang was dumbfounded when he saw it, "You don't want to ride a motorcycle to drive the two of us back, do you?" ”

"What is this, sit down." Mei Lijun patted the motorcycle, "My car is super horsepower, and it hasn't broken for more than ten years!" ”

"Oops, what if people can sit down and their luggage! You can't keep carrying it back! You ride back by yourself, at most help with your luggage, and we'll take a taxi back. ”

"I'm here, you let me pick you up!"

"It's inconvenient—"

"It's okay, Ah Fang! Let's get on a motorcycle. ”

Lin Youxi suddenly became very talkative, very gentle, "Let's carry our suitcases and squeeze together." ”

"Well, then......"

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi got into Mei Lijun's car one after another, carrying their luggage and hanging aside.

Mei Fang felt very embarrassed and entertained Lin Youxi home, but he didn't even have a trolley at home.

"Yes, be careful when you get on the motorcycle, don't touch the exhaust port, I have been burned by the exhaust port several times before, and the skin has been burned off."

"I know I know, when I used to ride my dad's motorcycle, he kept reminding me of that."

Lin Youxi was close to Mei Fang's back, carrying the suitcase in the air with one hand, looking a little struggling.

Seeing this, Mei Fang took the box from her hand, "I'll come, I'll come." ”

"Hmm...... Then I'll—"

Lin Youxi hugged Mei Fang from behind, hugged him tightly, and the feeling of his chest against his back made Mei Fang's heart flutter for a while, and Lin Youxi leaned directly on Mei Fang's ear and pasted it.

"When I was in middle school, my dad used to ride me to school like this."

"Uh...... Hmmm. ”

"Sit tight, the weather doesn't seem to be good now, let's hurry up!"

The Merry Army stepped on the motorcycle-powered car, making a terrible sound of whirring and whirring.

When the motorcycle started, Lin Youxi hugged Mei Fang, who was carrying the suitcase in both hands, and put his hand on his arm, helping him reduce some weight together.

"Wouldn't it be better in this way?"

"Hmmm......"

Lin Youxi leaned on Mei Fang's shoulder, squinting at the street scene of the town.

The evening breeze is blowing, the sun is setting and the figure of the motorcycle is infinitely elongated, and the familiar local voice is faintly heard in the distance, everything is so far away and so blurred.

Did you really live in this land for eighteen years?

Lin Youxi has only been away from home for ten years, but the eighteen years in the first half of her life seem like a dream to her.

"Do you still have an impression of this street?"

"It's all changed." Lin Youxi shook his head, "Change, it's so big......"

Mei Lijun said while riding the car, "Yes, this street here has all been newly repaired, the road is much wider than before, and many places are no different from the big cities on your Pengcheng side!" ”

Lin Youxi listened to Mei Lijun talk about the past, looked at the street scene on the side of the road, and suddenly said to Mei Fang.

"Ah Fang."

"How?"

"At the intersection in front of you, you used to open a big high-end hotel, do you have any impressions?"

"Forehead ......"

"Oh, you're talking about 'Baimei people'! Girl, you have a good memory. ”

Mei Lijun answered, "That hotel used to be the largest and most luxurious hotel in our Baimei County, no one in Baimei County has not eaten there, the dishes there taste very good, but it's a pity that the management is not good, and the road is repaired, and it will collapse later, it's a pity......"

"Dad." Mei Fang reminded Mei Lijundao, "Concentrate on the road, don't rub it." ”

"Oh yes, the boss of that house—"

"Drive well, Dad."

"Don't let me finish the words......"

The once prosperous Baimei Hotel has now been replaced by a new hotel called Baimei Building.

There is a lot of traffic, people come and go, and the hotel downstairs of Baimei Building is full of vehicles.

The glorious achievements and sad stories of the past have become the talk of others after dinner, and how many people will miss her childhood friend like Lin Youxi for the rest of their lives?

Whenever he thought of this, Mei Fang would only feel extremely distressed, and he just wanted to work harder to hold Lin Youxi, who was holding hands with him.

As the group of three drove on, a light rain suddenly fell from the sky.

"Oh no, it's going to get down."

"I'll just say let's take a taxi back, it's really ......"

"Ah Fang, Ah Fang, help carry it, I'll take the umbrella!"

The summer rainy season in Baimei County is uncertain, the light rain will pour in an instant, Lin Youxi's umbrella can not shelter the three of them from the wind and rain, and the three of them rushed into the alley under the pouring rain, and finally arrived at Meifang's hometown.

Mei Lijun hurriedly stopped the car, Lin Youxi jumped out of the car first to carry Mei Fang's luggage, and at this time, an aunt also walked over quickly with an umbrella to help Lin Youxi shelter from the wind and rain:

"I told you to bring a raincoat, and let the children take a taxi back when it rains so hard, really-"

Lin Youxi, who was drenched in soup, wiped his face, and the aunt on the side hurriedly handed over a dry towel to Lin Youxi to wipe.

"Child, you're affected."

Lin Youxi was very shy to accept the other party's wipe, which was a rare experience for her, and after her face was wiped clean, she was busy greeting the other party.

"Ah, Auntie is good!"

At this time, it was Mei Fang's mother Xiang Xiaoxia who was greeting Lin Youxi, the years have gone through a lot of traces on her face, and now she is a very ordinary middle-aged woman, but her eyes full of eye lines look very beautiful and spiritual, and you can see that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.

When he first saw this aunt, Lin Youxi suddenly had a very familiar feeling.

"Okay, good ......" Xiang Xiaoxia looked at the soup chicken Lin Youxi and liked it more and more, "Come in first, take a hot bath first when you come back, so as not to get cold." ”

"Okay."

Then Lin Youxi was arranged to take a bath, and Mei Fang and Mei Lijun sat in the small living room wrapped in blankets.

"It's not wet, is it?"

"I have all the laptops, so it's fine."

Mei Fang was talking here, and Mei Lijun on the side was looking at him cross-legged and happy.

"Hey, you kid - where did you know such a beautiful girl, it's still local, it's quite easy to find."

"Don't ask so much."

"What does she do, does she play games like you?"

"Hmm."

"What about parents? Where are the parents, old family, maybe your father and I know their family, and we can ask more. Don't you live here now? ”

"She-"

Lin Youxi changed his clothes, wiped his hair and came out of the bathroom, and Xiang Xiaoxia, who was cleaning up and preparing the meal, hurriedly trotted forward, "The hair dryer is here, I'll get it for you." ”

"No need Auntie, I'll take it myself."

"No, no, I'll blow it to you, don't be polite to your aunt, just treat it as if it's in your own home."

"Well, I know ......"

Youxi's nemesis has been found, hahaha!

Mei Fang never imagined that Lin Youxi would be so reserved and gentle in front of his mother, as if he was as well-behaved as a kindergarten child.

But after all, it's a guest at someone else's house, I'm sorry, it's a normal performance?

After everyone took a bath, Xiang Xiaoxia beckoned everyone to have dinner together.

Braised fish, steamed pork, roasted local chicken, stir-fried cabbage, cauliflower, beans and eggplant, as well as the special pork ribs and lotus root soup and hammer broth of Chubei Province, the taste of the hometown is full in an instant, and the overflowing aroma makes Mei Fang can't help but drool.

"Oh Mom, this whole thing is as rich as the New Year."

"My son brought his girlfriend back, this is not the same happy thing as the New Year - ahh

Before Mei Fang came, he specially told Xiang Xiaoxia not to mistake Lin Youxi's identity, of course, Xiang Xiaoxia completely regarded it as a temptation to completely determine the relationship, and said that she wanted to live in her own home, how could there be such an ordinary friend of the opposite sex who didn't mind.

Xiang Xiaoxia kept staring at Lin Youxi, after taking a bath, Lin Youxi was beautiful and refined, obviously not an ordinary girl.

"Come, eat more, Lin Youxi...... Right? ”

"Just call me a, Auntie."

Lin Youxi responded softly, and then took a small bite of rice, she didn't have to pick up the vegetables herself, Xiang Xiaoxia directly filled her up, "Eat more"

"Wife, are you feeding pigs, stuffing her so much, how can a little girl finish eating?"

"Just you can talk! Who is the pig? Shut up, you! ”

Xiang Xiaoxia pushed Mei Lijun with great disgust, Lin Youxi on the side ate very happily, Mei Fang was worried that she would be timid, so she took the initiative to lean over and ask:

"Can you eat all these dishes? If you can't finish eating, I'll order it. ”

"No, I'll finish eating, it's all delicious."

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang ate warmly, and Xiang Xiaoxia took this opportunity to start a family routine with Lin Youxi:

"Yes, where did you live when you were a child?"

"I live on the side of Renmin Avenue, which is in the alley next door to Xiangyang Community." Lin Youxi said softly, "Is Xiangyang Community still there now?" ”

"Xiangyang Community?!"

Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia were stunned for a moment when they heard this, "Isn't that where we lived before?" We used to live in that neighborhood. ”

"So why don't you live in that community?"

"Fate is—"

Lin Youxi smiled, "I was a very good friend when I was a child. I went to kindergarten with her and Ah Fang when I was a child, and I still remember. ”

"Huh? Really? So you knew each other at such a young age? That's really fate......"

"Yes......"

Mei Lijun asked while digging his teeth, "What's your father's name, I may know your father." ”

"My dad...... My dad's name is Lin Guochuan. ”

"Lin Guochuan? The name...... It's kind of familiar. ”

"I feel it too! Maybe I really know it......"

Xiang Xiaoxia said and thought about it, and couldn't remember the name for a while, and then asked Lin Youxi, "How about Youxi, is the food cooked by Auntie still to your taste?" ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious."

Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Ah Fang is so happy, he has a mother who is so good at cooking." ”

Hearing Lin Youxi directly call his son Ah Fang, Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun were so happy, and they also said a few more words at the moment, "Does it feel like a mother?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Lin Youxi shook his head, "This is my blind spot in knowledge......

"Knowledge blind spots?"

Mei Fang hurriedly explained on the side, "There is a shame on her...... Her mother died when she was three years old. ”

"Ah...... That's right, I'm really, really sorry...... Auntie doesn't know. ”

"It's okay, Aunt Xiang."

Lin Youxi smiled softly, "You're right, this should be the taste of mother." ”

"If you have the opportunity to go home, you often come to my house to eat, and my aunt will feed you for nothing!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Lin Guochuan...... Lin Guochuan...... I remember! ”

Mei Lijun pondered, "Your father should be the third elder of the Lin family on Dongmen Aquatic Street, who works on the construction site, I remember that he seems to have been a few years ago——"

"yes, my dad died too."

Lin Youxi said softly, "I died in my senior year." ”

“……”

Mei Lijun single-handedly brought the topic to an undeserved heaviness, and Xiang Xiaoxia couldn't help but start wiping her tears when she listened to it.

"You kid...... It's too sad, I didn't have a mother since I was a child, and my father passed away later, why is my life so bitter......"

"Ah, pour, pour is not so scary, now I am used to it."

Xiang Xiaoxia leaned over as she spoke, "Can I let Auntie hug you?" ”

"Ah......h

Lin Youxi didn't expect Xiang Xiaoxia to suddenly make this request to her, and after thinking for a while, she nodded, "Yes." ”

Xiang Xiaoxia hugged Lin Youxi as she spoke, a warm feeling came from the other party, and the palms of some shriveled and calloused hands gently rubbed against Lin Youxi's back.

"We used to live very close to each other, so it would be nice if we could have met you earlier."

Xiang Xiaoxia said softly, "When the time comes, you come to my house every day to eat delicious food, which means that I also have an extra daughter, how good it should be......"

"It's not too late."

Mei Lijun echoed and said, "Just stay at our house for a few days, and feel the changes in Baimei County with Mei Fang, okay?" ”

"Hmm."

Lin Youxi leaned on Xiang Xiaoxia's shoulder with his eyes closed, his body trembled slightly, Mei Fang watched quietly like this, watching a trace of tears pass through the corners of Lin Youxi's eyes with his eyes closed, and he suddenly couldn't hold back.

The hug of a mother like this was a mother-son interaction that Mei Fang had hated very much since she was a child.

But for Lin Youxi, it may be the first experience he has never experienced.

Every day and night when her father was busy with work and without her mother to take care of her, how did this girl survive......

……

Call......

Mei Fang stood up and walked in the direction of the toilet.

An inexplicable palpitation welled up in his heart.

When he came to the toilet, he was suddenly leaning against the wall with some physical strength, clenching his heart, and his face distorted from pain.

This feeling of chest pain has not happened for a long, long time since he didn't work overtime, and every time he goes to check up, he just says that he wants to stay up less late, but this time it makes him feel particularly frightened.

Not......

Don't be at this time-

Mei Fang clutched his colic heart, leaned against the door of the bathroom, and slowly sat down on the ground, trying to ease himself.

He didn't want Lin Youxi to see him like this, so he didn't shout.

She finally felt a little happy.

I can't let her think...... It's her problem again-

Mei Fang's current house is an old house, but because it is located in the middle of the town, you can always hear the sound speaker outside the clothing store.

At this time, the song "The Nameless Man" from the loudspeaker was singing very appropriately, and the writers of an ordinary and ordinary town like Mei Fang -

About the joys and sorrows and bitterness of their insignificant life -

[I'm a nameless person on this road]

[I have no news, no one to comment]

[I have to do everything I can to get an ordinary script]

[Twists and turns, but making a living]

[I'm leaving, people from the town]

[It's a person who has eaten with a smile and a cry]

[A person who is in a hurry, a person who supports his family]

[It is the silence of the city background]

[I just want to touch it with my own hands]

[Every moment of bending over]

[The soaked footprints left behind are not worth it]

[This choked up if you are the same]

[It's a friend on the same road]

[To all, stand up to the sky and the earth - ordinary and ordinary]

[Nameless man, I toast you with a glass of wine]

[To your silence, and every roar]

[Bend down, go up the mountain and go to a high place]

[With the sky above your head, live hard]

These days are the days of the college entrance examination again, as a 13-year candidate ten years ago, I also have some feelings, I originally wanted to write a simple if, but I wrote a lot, and the last song was written to be more appropriate, and it is also dedicated to the candidates who are about to end the college entrance examination, especially every young town who is from the same place as me, you are different from the times I live in, and I may have known from the Internet very early on that even if I am admitted to the ideal university, I am afraid that it will be difficult to change the fate of my birth in the future.

However, it is also a great thing to recognize the cruelty of the world and try to live, and you have worked hard to get to this point, and you are brave enough to live a respectable life no matter what!

Respect the ordinary, respect the world to kiss me, I still repay it with a song!
