The New Year is approaching, there are fewer and fewer people in the workshop, and the topic of discussion is also focused on going home for the New Year. And every time I get drawn into such a discussion, I can only laugh at it, and such a topic is too heavy for me.

I tried to control my restless emotions, pretending not to care, and even acting like I longed for the freedom of being alone. But my heart has already been flooded like boiled porridge, because I have been with my parents since I was a child, and I longed for the warmth of home.

It's just that the alienation brought about by long-term separation is no longer something that can be bridged by this short-term reunion, and my longing for reunion is even more afraid of being separated again.

So I could only force the attachment to my family in my heart, chose to be a cold sideliner, and also chose to heal the pain with my pain. This is probably the helplessness of our generation, we long for the simplest companionship, but we can only choose to distance ourselves for the sake of life.

Fortunately, I still have Wu Kai.

On the first day of the Spring Festival holiday, when I was still immersed in the free sleep of the holiday, the door of the dormitory was kicked open vigorously, and I looked at Wu Kai in front of me with sleepy eyes. His jaw almost fell off the bed, and he was holding an extremely large box in both hands, and the whole person was blocked behind the box, and he also carried a large plastic bag in each hand.

Seeing that I looked at him with a smile, I threw the box in my hand to the ground, and two bags flew to me, and a large pile of snacks fell out of the bag. Instant noodles with flower seeds, melon seeds, beer, drinks, mineral water, and everything you need. If I hadn't had some confidence in his character, I would have wondered if he had done something wrong.

Before I could recover from the shock, he was already sitting on my bed, and then put his cold hand into my bed, followed by a scream that tore his lungs through the air.

Needless to say, the screams were made by me, and Wu Kai, as the culprit, was looking at me innocently at this time. The two eyes blinked, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with the team.

I kicked the quilt open, and was about to let my forty-two-yard big foot meet his ass for a thousand miles, and the boy thought he had already guessed my thoughts, and he shot away.

I could only put the quilt on my body again, and then wrapped it around my body, and finally accumulated that little bit of heat, which was almost dispersed by the toss just now.

Wu Kai saw me go back to the quilt, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu came all the way to send warmth, are you going to greet me in the quilt?" ”

He tossed me a cigarette and sat down on the edge of the bed. I watched him light a cigarette with a skillful click, and then took a puff with great enjoyment.

My eyes were pantothenic, my eyes turned red instantly, and I choked up and said to him, "Thank you." ”

He raised his hand and slapped it on my thigh fiercely, and then took advantage of the situation to rub my leg, and said angrily: "It's so polite to Dad." ”

After saying that, he clicked like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately bounced away, for fear that I would kick him. This time I didn't move, I just leaned up against the shelf at the head of the bed, took out the lighter and lit the cigarette in my hand.

I took a silent breath, and let the choking smoke rush from my mouth all the way to my nose, and then slowly emerge from my nose and drift into the air. Seeing me like this, Wu Kai stopped joking, sat back on the edge of the bed again, patted me gently, and learned from me to smoke silently.

None of us spoke, smoking quietly until one was finished. The atmosphere was also extremely cold, Wu Kai smacked his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, got up and dressed, went to the toilet to wash my face, and stabilized my emotions. Wu Kai saw that my expression was normal, so he took out all kinds of snacks from the box like a treasure.

While digging it back, he introduced how he climbed the mountains and waded through the mountains and rivers from the supermarket alone, and the journey was full of hardships, and he brought these things here.

In fact, I don't need to say it anymore, I also think of his difficulties along the way. I can almost imagine his boldness when he frantically threw things into his shopping cart in the supermarket, and I think that's the way he can imagine being nice to me now.

Looking at the bed that was almost full, I hurriedly walked over to stop him, and when I pulled it down, I really couldn't sleep.

He pulled me aside and said, "Lao Tzu's clothes are still underneath, I don't take a bath for ten days or eight days, if you don't dislike my stink, I don't care." ”

His words shocked me again, I didn't expect him to even bring his clothes, this is the rhythm of preparing to camp here with me? I looked at him with a puzzled expression, and he didn't continue to explain, but there was no pause in the movements of his hands.

I could only ask him, "Why did you bring your clothes and run away from home?" ”

He threw me a roll of the eye and said, "Our house is now like a special vegetable market, I will come to you to hide here for a few days, and when my parents and friends are gone, we will go over the New Year together." ”

I suddenly understood his intentions, and my eyes began to sour again, and I saw that my emotions were coming up again. Wu Kai said with a wicked smile: "Don't worry, I won't snatch your quilt, if you want me to sleep on you?" ”

After speaking, Nu Chong went up to the bunk Nu and Nu mouthed. I hurriedly waved my hand: "Don't don't, I don't want to get up in the middle of the night to fight the flood." ”

Speaking of which, there is also a long-standing story, during the period of the college entrance examination sprint, Wu Kai and I, two people who basically had no ideas, naturally ate well and slept well every day.

But the other students are different, in the face of every big exam in life, they are like little roosters on the cockfighting field, and their nerves are tense.

I slept side by side with Wu Kai on the lower bunk, and one of his classmates on the upper bunk, I don't know if it was because his nerves were too nervous, or for some other reason, went in the opposite direction when he got up at night, and then he suffered.

This matter was widely circulated among classmates, and once became a hot topic at school, and we also talked about it from time to time.

Finally, Wu Kai took out the bag containing clothes from under the weirdly big box and threw it on the bed, looking at the size of the bag, he was ready to fight a protracted battle.

At this point, I don't know how to describe my feelings, although I have been doing psychological construction for a long time. But last night, when I was alone in the empty dormitory, I still couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart.

And Wu Kai's untimely appearance filled my heart in an instant, and I once again realized what it means to use a book to hate less, I really don't know what words to use to describe the mood at this moment.

I could only rush up and hug him fiercely, and slammed his back twice with both hands, he symbolically resisted, but felt my emotions and stretched out and patted the back of my heart.

After a long time, Wu Kai's melancholy voice sounded in his ears: "What, do you have any thoughts about buddies, if you really have ideas, you can say it." Brother is for you today, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice a little, who will let you be a brother? ”

After speaking, I straightened his chest and closed his eyes.

cleared his throat, and also learned from him timidly and said: "Well, Brother Kai, you don't know, people have been hungry for your body for a long time, since you found out today." Then I won't hide it anymore, Brother Kai, you will leave the family. "

As I spoke, I stretched out and groped for him a few times, and Wu Kai's eyes, which were still closed just now, widened wider than a cow's eyes at this time.

He looked at me with a frightened face and asked me, "Far... Yuanzi, why don't you really bend, right? Don't scare me, I've always treated you as a buddy. ”

I watched him try to widen his eyes, and I wanted to stare them out of my face, as if I could see what I was really thinking. I snorted and sprayed a mouthful of saliva on his face: "Get thick, Lao Tzu is steel and iron, and he can't bend it." What's more, the object is still you, and you are not interested at all. ”

Wu Kai breathed a sigh of relief as if he was about to be amnestied, his straight body just now was put down, and he patted his chest hard, and swallowed his saliva fiercely: "I'm special, I was almost scared to death by you, Lao Tzu was already thinking just now that if you are really bent, should I grit my teeth and obey you." ”

I ignored him and turned to pick up the snacks he had just pulled out of the box. With this play, my mood has calmed down a lot at this time, and I know that I have survived this winter.

I have to say that Wu Kai's ability to spend money is really far from his identity as a rich second generation. Looking at such a spectacular box of snacks, it is really almost a set of peanuts, melon seeds, instant noodles, beer, drinks, and mineral water.

As I threw snacks into the box, I thought about how to tell him tactfully that the two of us couldn't eat 40 packs of instant noodles and 20 cans of eight-treasure porridge in the past few days.

In the next few days, Wu Kai and I really appreciated the holiday in Shenzhen, an international metropolis. In just a few days, Shenzhen seemed to have been enchanted, and it was almost an empty city.

The wide streets are sparsely populated, and there are often just the two of us on the bus. There are a few tourists scattered on the Dameisha shipwreck, and the scene of the first time the top of Wutong Mountain came up and was almost squeezed off the cliff is still vivid, and at this time people have gone to the mountain.

In the past few days, Wu Kai and I were like two birds that had just been released from the cage, jumping up and down to visit the attractions that were once out of reach.

Chinese New Year's Eve came as promised, Wu Kai and I got up early to clean up, and Wu Kai packed all the dirty clothes that had been piled up for several days into the big bag when he came.

More than once I tried to ask him to wash his clothes, but he refused. In his words, if he didn't bring back this pile of dirty clothes, Wu's mother wouldn't know how to pet him if she wanted to.

So he specially prepared a bunch of dirty clothes for her to play with the brilliance of motherhood. Although I don't understand his mysterious behavior, I am also infected by their harmonious family atmosphere, and every time I get along with their family of three, I can feel the overflowing love from the details of their relationship.

In the past six months, as long as Wu Kai has a holiday, he will definitely bring me back for a good meal, and I am even more familiar with the flowers and trees here than my own home.

Before going upstairs, I went to buy cigarettes and took Wu Kai upstairs first, and I quickly ran to the supermarket next to me.

I calculated how much my wallet could bear and how quickly I would break down the fat on my body until I felt that the money I had left might not be enough to support me until I received my next month's salary.

On weekdays, I would never dare to do this, and last time I almost let Wu's father and Wu's mother blow it out. Dad Wu taught me for two hours with great vigour, I don't know if I haven't been in class for too long, and finally seized an opportunity to teach me a lesson, and I repeatedly promised that I wouldn't dare to let me go next time.

But today is different, and I know that what I bought is insignificant to them, but it is the only way to give me peace of mind. Especially on days like these, I have to do something to make myself feel comfortable stepping into that house.

When I came out of the elevator with a large bag of things, Wu Kai was looking around for me at the entrance of the elevator. When he saw me, he stared at me with a smile and said, "You wait for the old man to teach you a lesson." ”

After speaking, he reached out and took the thing in my hand, and then shouted at the door: "Mom, Dad, the distant son is here." ”

After a while, Wu's mother came out of the kitchen with a smile on her apron, and Wu's father came before anyone arrived: "Xiaoyuan is here, hurry up and come in and sit down first, I still have a dish in my hand, I'll fry it first." ”

I printed Wu's mother and shouted sweetly: "Hello, Auntie." ”

shouted at Father Wu in the kitchen again: "Hello uncle." ”

Mother Wu looked at the things in my hands and Wu Kai for a moment, and then quickly took the things in my hands, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, this is Kai Kai's home, and it is also your home, what else do you buy when you go home, your uncle will nag you for a long time when he knows about it." ”

After saying that, he glanced into the kitchen, and then took his things and put them in a corner of the living room. It was already piled up like a hill, all kinds of tobacco and alcohol and so on.

Wu Kai saw me staring at the "hill" in a daze, and said to me: "This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are still full houses in it, do you know now why the old man didn't let you buy things?" Just this pile of things, they all have to consume half a year. ”

I didn't pick it up, it was already expected by me, and I didn't buy things because they needed them, but for my own peace of mind.

Mother Wu saw what I was talking to Wu Kai, and quickly asked Wu Kai to beckon me to sit down. I walked straight to the kitchen, where Dad Wu was stir-frying in front of the stove, and the rising heat from the pot quickly fogged his glasses, and he had to keep reaching out to wipe them.

Seeing me coming, Dad Wu hurriedly asked me: "Xiaoyuan, are you hungry, wait a minute, there is still a fish, it will be fine soon." ”

I hurriedly shook my head: "Not hungry, do you need my help?" ”

Dad Wu reached out and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't help, it'll be fine right away, you go out and sit down for a while, and we'll start in a while." ”

With that, he pushed me out of the kitchen. I had to go back to the living room, where there were still five or six people sitting on the sofa, dressed plainly and looking very reserved.

Wu Kai looked at me and explained to me in a low voice that there were several workers in their factory who had not gone home for the New Year, and they were all Sichuan villagers, so Wu's father and Wu's mother invited them to their home for a reunion dinner.

I was not surprised by the warm behavior of Wu's father and Wu's mother, and hurriedly greeted a few people on the sofa. They must all be in their forties, all of them dark-skinned, and they exude a rustic smell that I am familiar with.

A rare reunion of fellow villagers, the most precious thing is that the country accent is the accent, and a few words of greeting each other are like returning to the long-lost homeland. Mother Wu also helped us introduce each other, so that everyone should not see each other and be their own home.

I have already regarded this place as my home, but they obviously did not dispel the anxiety in their hearts because of Wu's mother's words, and they still sat upright on the sofa with difficulty in fidgeting.
