Chapter 215: The River Returns

In Ganquan Railway Station, it was crowded.

The city with a big palm is an irreplaceable shining pearl in the Hexi Corridor.

Although the city is small, its geographical location is prominently important, and if you want to cross the vast Gobi, Ganquan is the only way to go. Just like this small railway station, it is an important railway node. As soon as a train arrives at the station, the black head instantly fills the narrow platform, like a plump and bursting pomegranate.

At this moment, Cheng Jianghe, who had returned from his studies, got off the train with passion, shuttling back and forth in the crowd with a restless heart, like a carp eager to feed, eager to get out of the water. The mood is smooth, and even the air feels extremely fresh.

"River, here, river, here!"

A burst of calls like silver bells came, Cheng Jianghe looked up in surprise, and saw that on the side of the platform, Cheng Jiangshui waved his wrist with a smile and a look of excitement.

In surprise, Cheng Jianghe clumsily carried his luggage, and the pace under his feet couldn't help but speed up the frequency, ran over upside down, and asked breathlessly, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Jiangshui hooked the hair on the side of his ears, his starry eyes turned slightly, he looked at his younger brother who was becoming more and more calm happily, and said with a smile: "Our family's great talent has returned triumphantly, and of course I have to pay attention to being a sister." ”

"Look at what you said."

Cheng Jianghe's face was slightly red, and then he said happily: "Sister, now I have finally come back from graduation, and in the future, I can also contribute to the family, hehe." ”

There was a burst of warmth in his heart, Cheng Jiangshui pursed his red lips lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, well, Jianghe is capable now, my sister is happy, let's go, everyone in the family is waiting." ”

Cheng Jianghe said happily: "Oh, is it? ”

Cheng Jianghe came back, just like He Yi'an did back then.

The return of this so-called "eldest grandson" also indicates that the second generation of the Cheng family has grown up and matured completely, and can take up the responsibility of the family for his parents, which is also the moment that Cheng Jianghe is looking forward to.

At this point, he is no longer a young child waiting to be fed, no longer a helpless teenager, the precipitation of the years has condensed into strong muscles and intelligent brains, giving him the strength to open up a world of his own - the adult world, and also brought a dawn of hope to this difficult family.

The sister and brother returned home happily, and Cheng Jia'an and He Yi'an had been waiting for a long time. Throwing away the luggage in his hand, Cheng Jianghe stepped forward with a flushed face, and his mood was up and down.

"Dad, brother-in-law, I'm back!"

Cheng Jia'an stood up stiffly, his vicissitudes of life on his cheeks with gratifying joy, and he responded again and again: "Okay, good, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

On the other side, He Yi'an's slightly pale cheeks also showed a trace of rare joy, stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder, and said freely: "Jianghe, you have finally graduated, and your return to our family will be considered a reunion." ”

"Well, it's a reunion!"

Cheng Jianghe nodded affirmatively, his heart fluttering, then turned his head to look at it, and asked, "Huh?" What about Jiang Hai? ”

Cheng Jia'an explained with a smile: "I'm still in school, and I can come back when I turn around." ”

"Oh!"

Cheng Jianghe nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking. Cheng Jiang Shuilian moved lightly, her red lips opened lightly, and reminded everyone: "Let Jiang He go to see Mom first, Mom is also looking forward to his return." ”

"Hmm!"

Cheng Jianghe nodded heavily, and then his face became solemn, and even the steps under his feet were slightly staggering. was about to see his mother after a long absence, and Cheng Jianghe suddenly became a little homesick.

When he came to his mother's bed, looking at the longing face that had become dry and old, he couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and knelt directly beside the bedside with a poof, pulling his mother's hand, and crying silently: "Mom, it's me!" Your river is back...... I've graduated from college, aren't you happy? In the future, I can always be by your side. My brother-in-law is right, we are all reunited now, then you should get better quickly, I still want you to see what I look like as a teacher......"

Sad and sorrowful, the spine wept blood.

Hearing the heart-wrenching crying, Cheng Jianghe's long-suppressed sentimentality and longing were all vented.

The people next to him stood mournfully, and the air was full of sad feelings. After a long time, Cheng Jiangshui turned his head to wipe away the tears that were pouring down, stepped forward, patted Jiang He's shoulder, and choked up: "Okay, Jiang He, Mom must be happy to know that you are back, today is a good day, let's not cry." ”

He Yi'an had red and swollen eyes on the side, and then comforted: "Yes, Jianghe, today is a good day, none of us will cry!" ”

Cheng Jianghe sobbed and wiped away his tears, and responded with red eyes: "Well, don't cry, don't cry." ”

Cheng Jiangshui paused, forced a smile, diverted the sad topic, and said: "Okay, since the whole family is here, my sister will go and cook you something delicious, our family hasn't been so lively for a long time, so my mother will be happy." ”

Cheng Jia'an nodded and said, "Yes, Jiang Shui, stir-fry two more dishes, take this opportunity to have a drink and celebrate Jiang He." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Jianghe seemed to suddenly think of something, and frowned: "Dad, didn't my sister let you drink?" ”

Cheng Jia'an hadn't said anything yet, but Cheng Jiangshui uncharacteristically agreed: "Forget it, let's make an exception today, Dad is also happy." ”

Cheng Jianghe has never dared to oppose his sister's decision, he nodded silently and said, "Okay, sister, I'll help you, I can also talk to you." ”

"Okay!" Cheng Jiangshui smiled sweetly.

When I returned to the home I had longed for, I didn't have the fatigue of the long journey at all, and my body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. With my sister, I turned on the fire to boil water, wash vegetables and noodles, and was very busy.

The fireworks that came out of the black stove, warm and warm, instantly dispelled the long-suppressed haze in the hearts of the sisters.

Cheng Jia'an and He Yi'an sat opposite each other, their faces were a little gloomy, the atmosphere was completely opposite to the warm color outside the house, with a little gloom in the dullness, and the two continued to discuss the interrupted topic.

Cheng Jia'an, who frowned, said abruptly: "Yi'an, since you have decided, Dad won't say anything." Dad hopes that you can cheer up and have a good life. ”

He Yi'an nodded gloomily, and responded in a flat tone: "Dad, I know." ”

Cheng Jia'an frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Now that Jiang He has returned, the burden on Jiang Shui's body will be lighter." I thought, you and Jiang Shui also want a child. Your mother's illness has delayed you all. It's this age, and Dad is looking forward to holding his grandson as soon as possible. ”

He Yi'an's face stiffened slightly, sighed secretly, and said abruptly: "I have discussed this matter with Jiang Shui, but Jiang Shui has never agreed, let's see!" ”

"Hey, we're the ones who dragged you down." Seeing He Yi'an's languishing appearance, Cheng Jia'an sighed melancholy, and felt very guilty in his heart.

He Yi'an pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to discuss it, and changed the topic and said: "Dad, Jiang He finally came back today, so let's not talk about this......"

In the corridor outside the house, Cheng Jianghe also seemed to notice He Yi'an's strange expression, and asked Cheng Jiangshui curiously: "Sister, I don't think my brother-in-law's mental state is very good, is there something wrong?" ”

Regarding He Yi'an, the father and daughter of the Cheng family were secretive about Cheng Jianghe, and they did not disclose any information. On the one hand, he didn't want to interfere with Cheng Jianghe's studies, and on the other hand, he was concerned about He Yi'an's fragile self-esteem. Hearing his younger brother ask sensitively, Cheng Jiang's sailors suddenly paused and covered up: "Oh, it's nothing!" Maybe I've been a little busy lately. ”

"Oh, that's good."

Cheng Jianghe didn't care, his voice changed, and he said earnestly: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law have been supporting the family for the past few years, and you are tired enough." I'm back, so I can help you, and you have to think more about yourself when you look back. ”

Cheng Jiangshui's face was solemn, he stopped what he was doing, his words were a little stern, and he said without hesitation: "What do you want?" You're back, but the work hasn't been implemented yet, and it's impossible to say what the future will be. Don't think about it yet, you're better at doing your job than anything else. I can't count on you at home for the time being, but I have me. ”

Seeing that his sister was a little annoyed, Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips and retorted weakly: "Didn't you say it all, I am the grandson of the eldest house, of course I will be the one who will take the lead in the future, have you forgotten?" ”

was grabbed by his younger brother, Cheng Jiangshui glared helplessly, and said angrily: "You remember this now!" Okay, wait for you to make a name for yourself, and my sister will abdicate and make way for Xian, which is always okay. ”

Listening to the looseness in his sister's voice, Cheng Jianghe said with a shy smile: "Hehe, it's decided." By the way, how is that guy Jiang Hai doing? Didn't you cause any more trouble at home, did you? ”

"Didn't I tell you in the letter, Jiang Hai has changed a lot in the past few years, it's just two people, and when they grow up, they are sensible, and they help me take care of my family."

At the mention of Cheng Jianghai's changes over the years, Cheng Jiangshui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then his voice changed, and he reminded sternly: "You, be kind to Jiang Hai in the future, how many years have passed, don't frown all day long, you don't know how afraid Jiang Hai is of you, how can the two brothers be like this!" ”

The corners of Cheng Jianghe's mouth twitched twice involuntarily, and his sister said Cheng Jianghai's changes over and over again in the past few years, but he didn't see Cheng Jianghai's changes with his own eyes, and he was somewhat bottomless in his heart. It's really because I've been disappointed in this bad brother so many times that I don't even dare to believe Cheng Jiangshui's words easily.

Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips and said with a hint of resentment: "It's best if he can really reform himself, I'm also annoyed that he is not angry, if he doesn't make trouble, can our family become like this?" ”

It seems that Cheng Jianghe is still adhering to the old concept, and he still hangs the blame on Cheng Jianghai's head unrelentingly, and Cheng Jiangshui suddenly became a little angry.

In order to reconcile the contradictions between the two brothers, he took great pains. Every time I think of Cheng Jianghai's pitiful appearance of being frightened and timid at the mention of his brother, I feel very uncomfortable.

The eldest daughter is like a mother, and she can't take care of her younger brother, how will she explain it to Li Xiulan in the future?

Annoyed, Cheng Jiangshui said sternly at Cheng Jianghe: "You still don't listen to what I say, do you?" It will be better if you have a better attitude! ”

Seeing that his sister was on the verge of going berserk with a sentence, Cheng Jianghe was also weak for a while, and quickly surrendered and apologized: "Oh, I'll just say a word." You're a sister, you have the final say......"
