Xiaobing is going to get married, as one of the "two evils" since childhood, I must go back to drink his wedding wine, the time is June, I dare not slack off on the small wedding, and return to my hometown after a long absence, I must be well prepared.

After so many years away from home, I don't know what my hometown is like? Is the second girl who blushes when she sees me already married? Leizi and pillars, are they all running all over the ground? It is said that the hometown is timid, although there is still a period of time before the wedding date of Xiaobing, but I am still a little apprehensive, all say that I want to return to my hometown, how can I not be too shabby, I deliberately bought a new suit, and my buddy borrowed his BMW X6, and deliberately ran to get a haircut, look in the mirror, and even say that I am vulgar, but how many people are taking this vulgarity as the goal of life.

"When I was young, I left home and went back, and my hometown voice has not changed, and my sideburns have declined." I drove more than 700 kilometers from Heilongjiang to cross the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, on the national highway, I sang loudly to the music, drove for 10 hours, and the smoke rose from the village in front of me, and my eyes couldn't get wet, that was the small village of Boketu.

As I drove into the village, I felt a lot of emotion through the window, because it had just rained in the village, and the road was full of mud. Nothing has changed here, time seems to stand still here, still frozen in the year I left home to study: a few concrete roads lead to schools and hospitals in the mountains; Some vintage 212 jeeps are being used as taxis to solicit customers; The largest hotel is a small two-story building, with colorful light balls hanging inside, and the dilapidated doors and windows are still gilded with gold, which seems to tell the glory of the past.

Looking at the buildings on the side of the road, the past of the hour came to my mind, and I unconsciously arrived at the old house of my grandmother's house, the path at the door that I had run countless times was now narrow enough to accommodate the width of a car, I got out of the car, stepped on the muddy path and walked closer, this old house of more than 100 years was once the headquarters of the Russian army, and then standing in front of it, I felt that every piece of wood felt kind.

Ten years ago, after my grandparents moved into the city, the house was sold to a local farmer for 20,000 yuan.

I have been away from home for nearly 20 years, and I have never come back, but Xiaobing has been living here, he was admitted to a technical school after graduating from junior high school, and still returned to the village after graduation, where he worked as a conductor on the railway, with a high income but not a high consumption. In this era when every inch of land is at a premium, this place can almost be described as enclosure, and when you are still proud that there are more than 100 square meters of mansions in the city, any family here can laugh uncontrollably. Of course, you can list the location, campus, provincial capital, capital and other real estate names with a red face, and they will end the comparison with one sentence, "My family is big".

Xiaobing has a mansion of more than 200 square meters, two yards in front of the house and behind the house, and more than a dozen warehouses in the courtyard.

I called Xiaobing before I went, and he said that he was waiting for me at the old house today, and he would get together with a few old friends in the old house. The old house is very close to my grandmother's house, I almost walked to Xiaobing's house with my eyes closed, I thought it was a long distance when I was a child, but now it only takes a few minutes to walk, people have grown up, their horizons have been broadened, and their steps have become bigger.

The little soldier stood waiting for me at the intersection not far away, with the same eyebrows and eyes as when he was a child, only darker and stronger, his belly visibly bulging in a circle, combing his hair parted, and greeting me from afar with his stomach held up like a great man.

The last time we met, he came to Harbin, and we ate hot pot in a rental house, which was seven or eight years. Xiaobing looked at my BMW and said enviously: It's a good mix, don't touch me and drive it. I'm also quite proud, "It's okay, will the first car for the wedding tomorrow work, can't you use this car to pick up your relatives?" The little soldier said yes repeatedly.

When we walked into the courtyard, the barn furnishings were similar to those of the past, except that the white walls of the house had become dull and yellow, and they looked more and more dilapidated. The soldier let me into the house, and there was not much old furniture left in the house, and it was obvious that there were not many people living here. Xiaobing said that his parents have moved into the building in the town, the house has been empty, and now there is a real estate company in the village, to carry out demolition, to build a tourist resort, our land is at the foot of the mountain, by the mountains and rivers, the house can be demolished at a good price, he has not been sold, waiting to sit on the ground and start the price.

There was a large table in the middle of the room, which was full of wine and food, and there were four or five people sitting at the table, both men and women, with familiar faces, and they were all excited to see me, and they all stood up to greet me, and I suddenly remembered that these were all members of the Hanako Gang who fought with us back then.

The man sitting in the innermost seat, looking like a 40-year-old uncle, grabbed my hand and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for years, how many years." "A pair of rough big hands made my hands hurt, I recognized him, this is Liu Xu's iron egg, when he carried a homemade scraper all day long to look around, we didn't fight, once he chased me with a sickle half a hillside, it was more than 20 years ago, of course I won't care anymore, the woman saw me a little shy, I thought this was Erya, and my heart was suddenly a little nervous, but the woman stood up and was only 1.5 meters, or a big face, no matter how you look at it, it is not the melon seed face, the thin waist of the Erya.

"This is the iron egg daughter-in-law!" Xiao Bing introduced, I shook hands with them politely, with a professional smile on my face, thinking, how could Xiao Bing get mixed up with Liu Xu's gang?

The little soldier pulled me to sit on the main seat and poured wine, the little soldier was still the same, and he wouldn't say anything, just raised his glass, "Come, Dapeng", and drank. With that, he drained a glass in one gulp. I drank too much wine and talked a lot, it turned out that Tie Dan didn't go to school much, and when they grew up, they all took over their parents' classes and entered agricultural production cooperatives, but later the big collective economy was sluggish, so they contracted the land, and life was passable, but Liu Xu was arrested and put in prison for theft and robbery after graduating from primary school, and the Huazi Gang was leaderless and dispersed.

The little soldier was very brave in fighting back then, and he was righteous and angry, and he has been living in the village for so many years and has become the most prominent figure in the village. Although the people of the Flower Gang are ruthless, they are all real croppers, and they will meet again when they grow up, and when they meet a drunken enmity, the small soldiers have become their backbone, plus the small soldiers have been the conductor of the railway in recent years, and they are almost their biggest officials here, so the people of the Flower Gang were willing to interact with the small soldiers, send half a pig during the New Year, and send a few carts of vegetables in the autumn.

I asked where the little soldier bride was? Why haven't you heard you all the time, you kid is still hiding it from me, what's the matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to cut it off? Xiaobing said with a big tongue, I won't see you tomorrow, what's the hurry, don't look at you who look whiter than me, I'm here here is one of the top two diamond kings, do you understand? How many girls like me, I have to pick, no, this is the first one, knowing that I am married, other girls are looking for death and life, and several of them want to jump into the river. I said that you can blow it when you are a little soldier, and you will be like Bao Gong when you are a child, and I estimate that your daughter-in-law must also be a daughter-in-law who is difficult to find with a lantern.

"Why are lanterns hard to find?" Xiaobing and Tie Dan were full of doubts, "It's just that she looks black, and when you go out at night, you can't find her with a flashlight." "Haha, everyone leaned forward and fell back happily, and the little soldier said, "You are still the same as when you were a child, this mouth is not forgiving, come, you have to punish yourself." ”
