From the regimental field to the county seat of Longyou, the distance of nearly sixty or seventy kilometers is completely in the Gobi. Looking down from the sky, it is like a straight line drawn with a ruler, without the slightest sense of curvature.

A generation of pioneers worked tirelessly day and night, sweating for spring water. Finally, on this barren land, a magnificent picture was painted with a colored brush.

The sand protection forest is beginning to take shape, keeping the sharp sandstorms at bay on the periphery, the inner ring is drained for irrigation, the canals on both sides of the road are clear and transparent, the tall poplar trees stand tall and tall, and the surrounding is lush, neat wheat fields, swaying in the breeze, soothing and moving.

Refreshing Saiwai Gangnam!

I am about to return to my rightful destination, and my heart should be full of anticipation and joy. However, for He Yi'an, it will be a strange and terrifying "new home".

The parting sorrow along the way made him silent, and he didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the car window.

For the children who grew up in the group, the range of their footprints can be involved, if a compass is used to draw a circle around the group, then the diameter of the circle is limited to five or six kilometers outside the group.

They have no chance, nor do they have the ability to get out of this small and closed world, in the dreamlike world, Longyou County is already a "poetic distance".

The cabin was silent, except for the monotonous noise of the car engine. Du Wanling seemed to want to try her best to break this awkward state of tranquility, adjust the atmosphere as much as possible, and turned her head to He Yi'an, who was sitting side by side, and said.

"Yi'an, I haven't been back to Longyou, go back, my mother will take you around, and my mother will buy you whatever you want......"

"Yi'an, if you want to eat something when you go back, Mom will make it for you. When you were a child, you liked to eat the braised pork that your mother made for you, or we would have eaten braised pork today......"

"By the way, Mom has prepared your own room for you, and in the future, you will have your own desk, your own bed, and you don't have to squeeze on the same kang with your younger brothers like before, do you like it...... Yi'an, Yi'an, why don't you speak? ”

Du Wanling stretched out her hand and pushed He Yi'an, which made him wake up from his deep immersion, and said with a slightly pale face: "Oh, Mom, I'm fine!" ”

"Hmm...... Yi'an, my father knew that you were coming back, and he couldn't sleep all night when he was happy, he called me and said that he was going to take the train back from the provincial capital overnight to see you, I couldn't persuade it, and now our family is really going to be reunited. ”

Du Wanling chattered happily, her mind full of happy longing.

"Mom, I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to rely on ......," He Yi'an said weakly.

Du Wanling looked at He Yi'an in a panic, only to find that his pale face looked very abnormal, and hurriedly asked with concern: "What's the matter, is it motion sickness?" Come! Mom rolls down the windows for you, and you can rest on ......."

As she spoke, Du Wanling reached out and rolled down the window next to He Yi'an slightly, picked up the clothes from behind her and folded them, letting him put them on the back of her head, and the excitement in her eyes was gone.

The cold wind blowing from the crack in the window did not blow away the bitterness in his heart, He Yi'an's head leaned back slightly, and the inexplicable tiredness made him turn his head slightly, and his eyes looked at the poplar trees that kept crossing outside the window, and he was speechless.

Du Wanling, who was next to her, looked at the pale wisps on her son's cheeks, and a faint sadness rose in her heart.

In He Yi'an's dazed feeling, the jeep drove into Longyou City, passing through the streets and alleys. As for what kind of "novelty scene" it was outside, He Yi'an didn't care at all.

Compared with the memories of childhood, maybe the city has already changed with each passing day, but for He Yi'an, who is full of thoughts at the moment, there is nothing to be curious about, and nothing to care about!

The car walked around and turned into an alley next to the road. Although two rows of aspen trees are planted next to the dry dirt road, the potholed road surface has obviously not been maintained for a long time, and the dust is flying when a gust of wind blows, and even the red brick bungalows on both sides are hung with a thick layer of dust, and they can no longer find the color they should have.

The courtyard at the bottom of the lane is where the Health Bureau was located. After all, it is a real department, and there are two small three-story buildings in this courtyard, which look like chickens overlooking the low brick bungalows around them. Obviously, such a house is already considered the top residence in the county.

And He Weiguo, who was the director of the bureau back then, was assigned the best set of two bedrooms and one living room on the top floor of the third floor. Compared with other leaders, the specifications are much higher, which also shows his prominent position as a leader.

After getting out of the car, He Yi'an looked up, there are still some childhood memories here, but they are very faint, and he can't remember the slightest detail.

Seeing that He Yi'an was stunned, Du Wanling stepped forward and held his arm intimately, and said enthusiastically: "Yi'an, we have arrived, na!" This is our home! Remember? ”

He Yi'an nodded mechanically: "Oh! ”

Du Wanling turned her head and beckoned the driver to unload a large number of large and small "bits and pieces" brought back from the group field, and politely declined the other party's help, then she smiled and picked up the big bag and said to He Yi'an: "Yi'an, go, let's go home!" ”

"Oh!" He Yi'an, who was stunned, reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and politely snatched the luggage in his mother's hand: "Mom, I'll pick it up, there are too many things!" ”

"Good, good!" Du Wanling gave the luggage in her hand to her son with a smile, watching him consciously hang all over her body, and didn't let herself share one, I don't know whether it was gratification, pride, or something strange.

led in front of the head, Du Wanling brought the worried He Yi'an to the door of the house, took out the key to open the door, and turned her head to find that He Yi'an did not follow into the house for a long time, but was in a daze at the door.

"Yi'an, come in, what are you doing standing outside the door?" Du Wanling urged puzzled.

Through the half-open door, He Yixin glanced at his "magnificent" new home. At a glance, I know that this is definitely a heaven and a place, compared to the shabby dwelling that Cheng Jia'an himself built with adobe bricks and wheat straw in the group field, it is absolutely incomparable.

When I was younger, I lived here for a handful of years, and I didn't think it was anything at that time, but now...... He hesitantly glanced down at the white-haired liberation galoshes under his feet, the corners of which were still stained with a thin layer of mud from nowhere.

Faced with the clean, reflective marble floors and outrageously white walls, he hesitated to step into his legs, and looked up in embarrassment.

"Mom, I'...... My shoes are a little dirty! ”

He Yi'an's strangeness is so direct, a threshold is like a moat, blocking it out.

Du Wanling's heart was sour, and she hurriedly stepped forward, hiding the sadness in her heart, and said angrily: "You kid, this is your home, come in quickly." Yi'an, can you take it easy, you are like this, my mother feels very uncomfortable. ”

He Yi'an bit his lip lightly, nodded obediently, and muttered: "I'm sorry, Mom, I know, I'm just a little unused to it!" ”

Du Wanling patted her son's shoulder lovingly, and said with hopeful eyes: "Yi'an, you will get used to it in the future." ”

Pulling He Yi'an's arm into the door, as soon as she put down all her luggage, Du Wanling couldn't wait to lead him around to eliminate the strangeness of the child as much as possible.

This is just the first step, and I will live happily under the same roof with my son in the future. Du Wanling's urgency is understandable, but wanting to achieve the ideal harmony and nature in an instant is obviously unreasonable for He Yi'an.

After more than ten years of separation, this family has long been no longer the other family, the Jinbi Mansion is not satisfied with the emptiness and loss in the heart, and the gentle township is full of strangeness and embarrassment.

Perhaps there is still a long way to go between mother and child.
