Zhou Chong came to the place that encapsulated his entire childhood memories, his home.

It's a small township, because it's not too far from the city, although it's not remote, but it's not particularly prosperous, and there are naturally fewer job opportunities than in the city, so children who grow up here usually leave this place as adults or drop out of school to go to the big city in search of better job opportunities.

Zhou Chong has not come back much since he went out, and in the early years, he would come back every holiday, but since he opened the supermarket and lived with the winter solstice, he came back less and less, not for anything else, just to be able to make more money during the holidays.

The parents' relative tolerance for Zhou Chong is not like other parents chattering behind their backs, but they are particularly considerate and only give some appropriate care and concern when they become adults. And Zhou Chong in the city will only return on the day of the Spring Festival, and after a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he will return to the city in a hurry the next day.

Like all parents, when they are separated, the eyes of the two old people are always full of reluctance and relief.

I am reluctant to give up my own children, and I have to go out alone, and I haven't seen each other for a long time.

It is gratifying to see that my children can survive independently and tenaciously in society, and then have a career and a stable life of their own.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Chong appeared at the door with Qian Haodong, and it was Zhou Chong's mother who opened the door, first surprised and then happily called for his wife to greet his son who suddenly visited, and then began to go to the kitchen to be busy.

"Mom! Stop cooking! Don't you look at what time it is! We all had dinner when we came back. ”

The father said, "It's all right! Leave your mother alone! She's happy to see you come back suddenly! Just let her do it. ”

After a while, the mother came out of the kitchen with two bowls of steaming noodles.

"Come on! Eat a bowl of noodles to warm up! It's too cold outside today! Why don't you come back and say hello in advance! I'll ask your dad to go to the market and buy you something good! Why did you come back in the middle of the night? ”

Zhou Chong took the noodles and said, "Mom! Don't worry! What are we two old men afraid of? ”

"This is your friend? Belch.... Clothes... This dress is very fashionable! ”

Qian Haodong wore sunglasses and a windbreaker, sitting in the living room without saying a word, looking serious, making the old couple very uncomfortable!

"Don't pretend to be a mouse! Look scare my mother! ”

Hearing this, Qian Haodong took off his sunglasses and said, "Uncle and aunt! Do you know me? ”

"Yo! Isn't this a mouse? Look at him, who do I think! Dressed so strangely, it turned out to be a mouse! Tell me how many years I haven't seen this, and I've grown taller! Also fat! ”

"Auntie, look at what you said, I'm fat, I'm called Zhuangshi, I was very hungry, and when you say I'm fat, I'm embarrassed to eat this noodle."

"Don't! Eat... It's good to be fat! Fat and rich, you see how many years the worm has not grown meat! It doesn't matter how much you eat! ”

"How many years have you been here, and you're still hanging out with the bugs and the two stinky boys? It's not easy! ”

"Auntie, look at what you said! What a gangster! We're called buddies helping each other! ”

"Yes, yes.. Auntie can't speak, your relationship for so many years is not easy, take care of each other together in the future! ”

Qian Haodong took a bite of noodles and said, "Auntie! You can rest assured.... The insects have me outside, you just have to be down-to-earth. ”

Hearing Qian Haodong and his mother's politeness, he couldn't interject, so he could only eat noodles silently on the side.

Seeing that the two of them finished eating, my mother snatched the bowl and said, "There is still something in the pot!" I'll give you both some more! ”

"Mom, don't be busy, put down the bowl first, I came back this time to ask you!"

", just listen to him, don't be busy, they came over in the middle of the night, they must have something serious!"

Zhou Chong was a little hesitant, he didn't know how to speak for a while, and said after a long while: "Actually... Actually, I came back this time to inquire about my background! ”

When the mother who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks heard this, she first took a beating, then put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "I know!" I'll have to tell you about it sooner or later! ”

is different from what Zhou Chong expected, when his parents told about the past, they were surprisingly calm, and there was no scene like they imagined.

It's just that there are a few tears in the mother's eyes: "Bugs! You're older now, it's not that you mean to hide it from you, it's just that you're getting bigger and bigger, but you don't know how to open this mouth more and more. Let your dad say it! ”

"I remember when you were a kid and you asked me and your mom if we wanted a brother or sister! Actually, your mother and I can't have children because of physical reasons, we knew these before we got married, and we originally planned to live like this two people for the rest of our lives, but we didn't expect it................"

Zhou Chong and Qian Haodong sat on the sofa at home and quietly listened to their father tell the story about themselves back then!

Before leaving the door, my mother said with tears in her eyes: "We have been hiding from you for so long, you won't hold a grudge against us, right?" ”

"Mom! Look at what you say, no matter what time you are both my parents! I've just had something happen to me lately, so I'll come back and check with you. ”

"You see the snow is getting heavier and heavier, or you two won't go back! Stay here for the night! ”

"No, Dad! The car outside is still waiting! The mouse and I have some important things to do tomorrow! ”

Looking at the two old men standing side by side in the doorway, the snowflakes were blown by the wind and fell on their hair, and they were white. At this moment, Zhou Chong suddenly felt that his parents who had raised him for many years were much older!

"Mom and Dad! Go back quickly! How cold it is outside! I'll come back to see you when the Chinese New Year comes! ”

On the way back to the city, Zhou Chong was sullen all the time.

The driver asked with concern, "What's wrong with the little brother?" Didn't agree at home? ”

Qian Haodong glanced at the taxi driver: "Master, drive your car well!" ... Don't talk! ”

"Worm, why don't you tell them what happened during this time! They may be able to find out what is hidden. ”

"You've heard it all here, impossible! They are just an ordinary couple, they don't know the inside story at all, they are just being used! I didn't tell them because I was afraid that they would worry about me, and I didn't want them to get involved in this matter! ”

Qian Haodong scratched his head and said, "But today we came back in the middle of the night, they must be suspicious, you forgot to ask about the winter solstice girl just now!" I didn't even dare to say anything. ”

"Hmmm! It's not easy for them to raise me so big, and I'm sure I'll treat them as biological parents, and two couples who had no fertility decades ago happened to pick up my baby, and no matter how I thought about it, I felt that someone was deliberately arranging it! ”

"You mean... Chen Sanbao? ”

"Yes, it's him... The whole thing, you and me.. And Robin... It seems like only he really understands what these things are all about. ”

"Where is Chen Sanbao now?"

"I don't know.... Robin told me he was dealing with something, but one day he would show up, and I'd be sure to ask everything about it then! ”

"Bang .........." There was a loud bang, and Zhou Chong and Qian Haodong flew forward all of a sudden, crashing into the front seat of the taxi.

Behind the car, a black sedan slammed into the rear of the car, followed by a roar from the engine that slammed on the accelerator, and hit it again.

Then the screeching sound of the taxi's brakes ensued, and the taxi was forced to stop.
