Wei Ping'an walked out of the compound of the 356 Institute, and the sun was still dazzling at noon in winter.

I got off the train early this morning and was taken all the way to the unit for a series of activities.

At the commendation meeting, there was also another lecture on the confidentiality work.

More than a dozen documents were signed, and finally at noon was relieved.

It's December 21, 1963.

The unit was very humane and rushed home the day before the winter solstice, and brought this group of highly decorated researchers and engineers home.

Although the train has been busy for several days, from more than 4 o'clock in the morning to now, everyone is still in good spirits.

Because I am about to return to my long-lost home.

I am about to see my loved ones, lovers, and children who I have been thinking about for countless days and nights......

Wei Ping'an was equally excited.

The moment his feet stepped on the land of the capital, he had the idea of rushing back desperately.

But the unit leader pulled him.

The deputy director who talked to him and sent him to the car back then has now been corrected.

In 5 years, the old director of the 356 Research Institute retired, and the deputy director took office.

This means that many people and things in the capital have become strangers.

It becomes unpredictable.

Walk in the small alley back to the courtyard.

A familiar environment, a few years ago, he rode by every day, sometimes with Zhou Wen, sometimes alone.

The memory of the last few days is that he rode a bicycle and silently followed behind Zhou Wen.

I don't know if Zhou Wen will forgive himself now.

It is said that Xiao Bie is better than a newlywed, and I hope that my daughter-in-law will do the same.

She should still be at work on Saturday, I don't know if she is still in the archives of the Jiaodaokou police station, or if she went to work as a street policeman, or if she was transferred to another department.

Missing out on spending five years with his wife and leaving her to take care of the children alone didn't help her in the slightest......

Every step Wei Ping'an takes, his complex emotions are entangled.

Tomorrow is a day off, and at this point in the day, there should be no one at home.

I don't know what happened to my grandmother's body, Zimo should be on the weekend now.

In this era, the primary school students in the capital implemented a six-year system.

4 years of elementary school, 2 years of high school, the age of admission is 7 years old, can be relaxed to 6 years old.

In remote areas and rural areas, there are also people who start school at the age of 9 or 10 because of tuition fees and other reasons.

While thinking about his thoughts, he came to the T-shaped entrance, turned right, and saw the gate of the courtyard that had not been seen for a long time.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

Wei Ping'an turned his head and saw a pot lid with two slugs looking up at him.

"I'll go to the middle courtyard, Wei Ping'an's house."

"We don't seem to have this person in our hospital."

The little girl said in a milky voice.

"Oops, it's Zhou Zimo's house."

The head of the pot explained impatiently, turned around again, and said, "My grandmother said, Wei Ping'an died early, are you going to Widow Zhou's house to find Widow Zhou?" ”

Wei Ping'an pinched his chin and said lightly: "I won't go to your house again, what are you looking for a widow for." Little brat, while playing. ”

A child's mind is the purest.

He is like a mirror that can reflect how Jia Zhang's arranges himself and Zhou Wen at home.

Wei Ping'an doesn't care about a little kid, but Jia Zhang's stinky mouth, he remembers it thoroughly.

This is no longer the case.

Wei Ping'an is confident that the value he has shown will not be in crisis because of disputes with ordinary citizens.

Just wait.

Walked into the courtyard.

A young woman in the West Wing was busy.

It's Yu Li.

I haven't seen her for a few years, from a young and beautiful daughter-in-law, she has become more down-to-earth, and the gap between her and the women of the times has widened a lot.

Yu Li didn't recognize Wei Ping'an.

In the past five years, Wei Ping'an has experienced a lot.

The skin that used to be white has become faintly bronzed.

A fight with the ancient principal who was blackened by the sun.

In addition, in more than 5 years and more than 60 monthly lotteries, Wei Ping'an has accumulated too many basic skills and strengthening skills.

I forgot what day it was, after Wei Ping'an obtained the strengthening skill for the first time, the whole person quickly lost weight in four months.

There is no longer an explicit inverted triangle, but it is really a bit of a literati temperament who can't lift his hands and shoulders.

has changed from a strong man to a weak man, coupled with the change in skin color, it is too normal for Yu Li not to recognize it.

"Who's you looking for?"

"Intermediate Court, Wei Ping'an...... Family. ”

Wei Ping'an responded lightly.

Yan Bugui lives in the front yard as the third master, and has the responsibility of screening and inquiring about visitors.

Yu Li is a daughter-in-law, and when she saw a stranger asking, Wei Ping'an felt that she should respond.

As for the state of Wei Ping'an's figure, what is going on?

It's probably similar to the turtle immortals in the Dragon Ball world.

It's just not that exaggerated.

Under the operation of internal breath, Wei Ping'an can burst his clothes.

This has been done in practice.

At that time, I was shocked by the people in the scientific research team.

Even the engineer even tried to instigate the big guy to let Wei Ping'an treat this state as a performance when he was celebrating at the party many times......

What a bunch, lovely nerds.

"Ah, you're ......"

When Yu Li reacted, Wei Ping'an had already climbed the steps through the hall.

He also took a serious look inside the West House.

It's Wei Ping'an who didn't run away.

Mrs. Zhang and Zhou Zimo's house, except for Wei Ping'an and their house, who would look at them so blatantly and deliberately.

Wei Ping'an, who had been missing for several years, returned.

This is big news, Yu Li put down the work in her hand and ran into the house in a hurry.

The gossip heart is strong, and Yu Li wants to share it with her mother-in-law quickly.

The courtyard is quiet.

It was the small room on the north side of Yi Zhonghai that was hung with curtains of pale cyan flowers.

I think He Yushui has also become a big girl and has her own separate room.

The door of Jia's house was closed.

The pot lid was playing outside with two slugs, and Qin Huairu thought about it and successfully took Jia Dongxu's class, but he didn't know if he was still a first-class fitter.

When he came to his door, Wei Ping'an was very excited.

There was movement in the precincts.

Wei Ping'an could feel the excitement and attachment of the red girl, and Laifu and Jixiang also wanted to pounce restlessly.

In the blink of an eye, they converged on the other side of the door.

The courtyard door was locked, and after a few years, the lock was still the same, and it hadn't changed at all.

Zhou Wen has been looking forward to Wei Ping'an's homecoming, and he is afraid that he will not be able to enter the door when he goes home one day, so this lock has been used.

Even if it's not very easy to use anymore.

Wei Ping'an took out the key and opened the courtyard door.

The red girl immediately pounced, her two front paws on Wei Ping'an's shoulders, and the two corners of the dog's eyes were already moist, accompanied by a slight sob.

Jixiang and Laifu circled beside them, calling anxiously.

After walking two steps, Wei Ping'an froze.

Let the two blessings and auspicious noises that have changed from puppies to adult dogs under their feet remain motionless.

All he had in his eyes was the cowardly and cute baby at the door.

Dressed as a little tiger, tiger head shoes, tiger head hat, bright flower cotton jacket and cotton pants on him looked bloated and cute.

This outfit is obviously the old lady's masterpiece.

It has a strong regional style.

This also shows that although Mrs. Zhang has settled in the capital, in terms of ideology and life style, it is still the way of presenting the knots in the Northeast.

Wei Ping'an was thinking about his flesh and blood early, and pinched his fingers and counted many times.

According to the calculation of October pregnancy, it is already more than four years old.

What is he called?

Wei Ping'an regretted a little that he didn't consider the name when he left the letter.

How do you introduce yourself?

Wei Ping'an looked at the little baby who was obviously scared, his heart was so fast that he couldn't say a word.

Over the years, I have suffered so much and suffered so many sins, no matter how difficult the environment and difficulties are, I gritted my teeth and survived, and I didn't shed a single tear.

But a cute treasure stood at the door, with a frightened look on his face.

This scene instantly crushed Wei Ping'an.

A big man burst into tears.

"Sister...... Brother-in-law? ”

There was a shout of surprise behind him.

Wei Ping'an turned his head and saw Zhou Zimo, who had grown up, followed by the gray-haired old lady Zhang.

"Zimo, grandma, I'm back."

I haven't seen him for five years, and the children at the beginning have become strong guys, tall and big.

And grandma does see that she is old.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back......"

Grandma wiped her tears and pushed Wei Ping'an: "Come into the house, it's cold outside, it's warm inside......"

Zhou Zimo skillfully turned around and closed the door.

"Grandma ......"

The immature voice came from the door of the north house, although it was light, but in Wei Ping'an's ears, if the bell rang, the sound echoed endlessly in his mind.

The furnishings in the house are just like Wei Ping'an's memory.

The traces of several years of use have made some of the furniture old and mottled, but it seems to overlap with the things in Wei Ping'an's memory.

In the past few years, although Wei Ping'an has not been at home, his heart has never left, and with time and years, he has crossed together.

Grandma asked Dabao to call Dad, and Mengbao bit her fingers timidly.

stared at this strange adult vigorously.

Grandma urged a few more times, and Mengbao immediately dropped the golden bean, crying and shouting to find her mother.

When Wei Ping'an heard it, his voice was quite bright.

Let's look at it from a distance, it seems that without his mother as an introducer, it is difficult to "start" himself.

Grandma hugged Mengbao and coaxed, and also chatted with her grandson-in-law.

"My name is Dabao, and I wrote Wei Dabao directly when I was registered, and Xiaowen said that my son's name must be a father, and I have to wait for you to come back......"

“…… Xiaowen is still in the archives, and I haven't moved the nest, so it's okay, it's more convenient to take care of the children......"

"Grandma, I'll go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in a while, and I'll pick up Xiaowen from work by the way."

"Hey, okay, you go pick her up, she'll be so happy. You don't know how much Xiaowen has missed you in the past few years, and the pillow has been wet several times...... There is no news from you, not even a letter ......"

"Grandma, I have a confidentiality policy over there, and I can't send a letter if I write it...... I'm not coming back, I won't be in the future......"

"Brother-in-law, I wipe your bike every week, and it's still as good as new."

Zhou Zimo has been helping his brother-in-law wipe his bicycle.

The 28 big bar was originally compensated to Wei Ping'an, and it went to Shanghai after riding a few times, and then it didn't move again for a few days after it came back.

Although Zhou Zimo can't ride, he helps scrub every week.

Not to mention that it is not spotty, at least the chain is still oily, and it really doesn't look like it hasn't been touched for a long time.

"Thank you, Zimo."

……

Wei Ping'an rode on the long-lost 28 bars and arrived at the Dongdan vegetable market first.

It's not time to get off work at this point, there are not many vegetable vendors in the winter, and there are not many people in the market.

Wei Ping'an came to the butcher shop and saw Lin Dong.

"Lao Lin, long time no see."

"Are you...... Old Wei? Hey, you've finally been transferred back? ”

In the past few years, Zhou Wen has come to buy meat.

Lin Dong became acquainted with Zhou Wen after coming and going, and when asked about her man, Wei Ping'an, Zhou Wen said that he was transferred to other places as an excuse.

The truth is not much different.

"It's not easy to come back. I just came back today, so I'm going to come to you right away. ”

Lin Dong picked a piece of fat and thin pork belly for Wei Ping'an.

I haven't seen him in the past few years, and he still remembers that Wei Ping'an doesn't like to eat fatty meat.

"These pigs' trotters are sent to you, they are considered to be for you to pick up the wind, don't give money, be careful to ...... with you"

"Okay, thank you, Lao Lin, I'm going to pick up my daughter-in-law from work today, and I'll come back to you another day."

Not far from the entrance of the market, a few people gathered around an old lady, who was squatting on the side of the road, with a basket at her feet, covered with cotton cloth.

In fact, in the early years, there were greenhouse vegetables, but the amount was very small.

Wei Ping'an came across it on the first day he came back, needless to say, he definitely had to buy some.

When the time comes, take out some more from the system space to make up the number, and tomorrow's winter solstice will be more perfect.

Wei Ping'an hurried to the door of the Jiaodaokou Police Station.

It may be that it has been too long, and Wei Ping'an has changed his appearance again, so that the doorman and uncle let Wei Ping'an in.

He had to go and spread the word and call the man out and bring him in.

Wei Ping'an was helpless, so he handed the doorman a cigarette, put down the bicycle at the door, and waited for Zhou Wen to get off work.

"Young man, it's useless for you to give me cigarettes, I can't let you in unless you ......"

"Okay, uncle, I'll just wait here, and when you see it later, you must remember it, and let me in next time."

As he spoke, there was a figure pushing a cart out of the courtyard gate.

A tall, beautiful woman with a ponytail.

In Wei Ping'an's eyes, it is synonymous with slim and slim, and the moon is shy of flowers.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

Wei Ping'an shouted excitedly.

Zhou Wenyan was stunned when he heard this.

Raised his head a little stiffly, saw Wei Ping'an, his eyes suddenly flashed, he threw off the bicycle and rushed towards Wei Ping'an.

Sometimes, the excitement is overwhelming, and I can't care about the external environment.

How many days and nights of thoughts piled up, and at this moment, it exploded like a flood.

Zhou Wen rushed and threw himself directly into Wei Ping'an's arms.

Wei Ping'an opened his arms, hugged Zhou Wen tightly, sniffed the familiar smell on her body between his noses, and then violently forced, holding Zhou Wen in place and turning around several times.

Zhou Wen smiled happily and cried too.

A smile with tears on her cheeks.

hugged Wei Ping'an fiercely, wishing that the whole person would be integrated into his body.

"Ahem...... Ahem. ”

The old man of the doorman was almost hoarse, and he didn't wake up the two of them to show sweetness at the door of the police station.

This kind of behavior will actually attract red armbands, but it was shouted by the leader who also came out of work at the door.

There has been no news for several years, and it is also necessary to understand that he has made outstanding contributions to the country, and when his business is over, he occasionally releases his "private feelings".

"Daughter-in-law, let's go home."

"Well, Old Wei, let's go home."

Zhou Wen cried with joy.

In the distance, a crooked bicycle was silently abandoned.

Liu Xiaoya didn't disturb the little couple who were about to pedal away, waved her hand to Zhou Wen from a distance, and helped push the poor bicycle back into the courtyard.
