Contrary to the bustle of the distant mountain house, the current Leng Yue house is silent and cold.

Big house, upstairs and downstairs, inside and out, only Leng Yue is alone.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, the maid sister-in-law Zhang returned to her hometown. His son, Siqi, works part-time as a teacher at a cram school near the university, so he didn't come back until the end of the year. As for Li Min, he has been eating and living in a restaurant for some reason in the past few days, and he has disappeared.

The night is deep, and the quiet and faint lights shine obliquely on the body of the cold moon, reflecting a little dazzling brilliance.

A plain white soft satin pajamas, sticking to her smooth skin, soft, soft, soft all the way to the depths of her heart.

Although these soft pajamas brought her intimacy and comfort, they also brought her an inexplicable throbbing.

She suddenly remembered that this set of pajamas was a New Year's gift given to her a few years ago when her mother was alive.

It was also the day of the Spring Festival, she and Li Min took their son Siqi to their parents' house for the New Year.

The elder brother, eldest sister, and second sister in other provinces and cities all rushed back, and they brought nephews, nieces, nephews, and nieces, full of more than a dozen people.

Everyone stayed in the room, unpacking the gifts they had given each other, and then cheering, hugging each other and thanking each other.

I remember that at that time, she tried on the pajamas given to her by her mother, the shawl given to her by her sister, the embroidered slippers given to her by her eldest niece, and a pair of gold earrings given by her brother and sister-in-law.

Then she dragged and clanked up and down the house.

Everyone laughed and bent over.

The niece said that she looked like a gypsy fortune teller, and the nephew said that there was still a crystal ball missing, and then the naughty niece took a leather ball and put it in her hand, causing everyone to laugh again.

But how long ago was this?

Like a dream, a distant dream.

Now, the parents are gone. Brothers and sisters who have lost their parents are busy with their own things, and it is difficult to get together again. The Chinese New Year is just to send greeting text messages, how can there be time to come to the party with thousands of mountains and rivers?

She stood up, her eyes moist and her head dizzy.

She slowly walked out of her room, came downstairs, and arrived at the bedroom where she and Li Min lived.

The room was clean and clean.

The bed is neatly made.

"Could it be that he hasn't come back to live all these nights?" Leng Yue sighed. "It looks like he's really not going home. ”

She frowned and murmured, her heart sad.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Leng Yue was startled, could it be that Li Min was back?

She hurriedly walked out of the bedroom, and before she could react, her son Siqi had already dragged his suitcase into the hall.

A pair of washed white jeans, a yellow leather jacket, a pair of sunglasses, and messy and stylish hair.

is still that unruly and sunny and handsome look.

"Hey, Mom, I miss you so much!" Siqi put down his suitcase, took off his cool sunglasses, and then pounced on Leng Yue. "My eyes are about to bulge out when I think about it!"

He hurriedly hugged Leng Yue, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

"Quick, give me something to eat! I'm already hungry. ”

Leng Yueleng paused for a few seconds, and then, as if suddenly waking up from a dream, she hurriedly followed, and asked upside down:

"Son, what's going on? How did you get into the house? Why don't you make a phone call when you come back? I'll pick you up! It's so sudden, what kind of car did you come back?"

"Mom!"

Siqi reached out and pulled a bunch of keys out of his coat pocket.

"I took it with me when I left, the keys to our house!"

He sat down, looked at Leng Yue, who was taking food from the refrigerator, and asked, "What about my dad?" Why didn't you see him?"

"You haven't answered my question yet!" Leng Yue didn't want to talk about Li Min, so she asked her son instead of what she answered.

"It's hard to put into words. ”

Siqi took the canned fish and canned beef that Leng Yue had taken, and put a few bagged side dishes on the table.

"The cram school holiday is late, I want to take the train, and I can't buy a train ticket, so I have to take the bus. There were a lot of cars along the way, and the traffic jam was very serious, so I didn't get home until this point. ”

Leng Yue took the dishes and chopsticks, helped him serve the rice, and put it in the microwave to heat it.

She looked at her son lovingly and said, "My baby is really hard, this time I come back, my mother will make up for you." ”

After she had warmed up her meal, she brought it to her son.

She pulled back the chair next to her and sat down.

"I think you need to have a good meal, but that's all you need for today. Leng Yue said.

"Mom! that's good, it's really good!"

Siqi gulped down his meal, and the meal was quickly finished.

"Here, have another cup of coffee. ”

Leng Yue cooked two cups of coffee and put them on the table.

They began to drink slowly, and Siqi talked about his part-time work experience while drinking, and also talked about his plans and dreams for the future.

"Mom, do you know what role you've played in my life?"

"Oh?"

Leng Yue looked at her son suspiciously.

"I'm the one who brought you into this world!"

"It's not just that. ”

The son affirmed.

"Oh?" Leng Yue looked at her son Siqi. "How?" she asked.

"You're still the one who helped me carry the torch. Siqi continued: "There is an ancient legend that there was a wanderer, after a long journey and trekking, into a dark forest, and he went round and round and could not find a way out, when suddenly a woman with a torch appeared and led him out of the dark forest. ”

......

"That person is Mommy, you—your [What to do with you—my wonderful son] woke me up. ”

Leng Yue listened to her son's sincere words, she looked at her son with warm eyes.

"Son, you have finally grown up! Finally understand your mother's good intentions, finally know the principles of being a person and doing things, know the importance of studying, and know the meaning of money. ”

"Yes! I see, Mom!"

Siqi nodded his head while slowly sipping his coffee.

"Many times, knowledge and money are equivalent. Leng Yue continued to speak with a heavy and heartfelt voice: "Knowledge can create wealth, and wealth can buy spiritual enjoyment. A good book, a good cup of tea, and a moment of leisure. In today's society, no matter what you do, you need to fight for it yourself, success is a difficult thing, but failure is waiting for you at any time. ”

"Yes, Mom! I understand, I really do!"

Siqi finished his last sip of coffee, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then nodded again.

"Good, good!" Leng Yue patted her son's shoulder and looked at her son lovingly. "The prodigal son will not change his money, you are worthy of being my son of Leng Yue. ”

"Of course, mother's son, how can you not fight for your mother!" Siqi also patted Leng Yue's shoulder, and the two of them said a lot of emotional words.

Their language and movements are a bit exaggerated, a bit contrived, and they feel like actors. But somehow, something damp and unassuming came in their eyes.

Leng Yue packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and the night was already late.

"Mom, thank you for raising me! I will never play the clown like I did a few years ago, I will fight for you!" Si Qi took Leng Yue's hand, his expression was sincere and his face was solemn: "Your son is a master with dreams!"

Leng Yue smiled and patted her son's little face lovingly, her deep eyes met his son, and her voice was low and gentle:

"Thank you, son, for coming back! I've been waiting for this day for a long, long time...... It starts when you get lost in your sophomore year of high school. ”

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were full of tears.

"Son, welcome back!"

"Yes, I'm back and I'll never be lost again. My son's eyes were also wet.

The night was getting deeper.

The mother and son held hands, looked at each other, and went on like this for a long, long time......
