Zhang Xiaokai is an authentic rural baby, he has not studied for a few years, he dropped out of school early at home, inherited the ancestral industry and planted a few acres of thin fields, lived a life facing the loess with his back to the sky, caught up with a good year, when the rain was sufficient, he could barely eat enough, but if he was not careful, the crops failed in which year, and the family's food was not enough to eat, and it was likely to be hungry.

When Xiao Kai was nineteen years old, he saw that many young people in the village had gone to work in the city, and every time he came back, he took a lot of delicious food that he had never even heard of, and the clothes he wore looked so beautiful, and the money was spent like flowing water, which made Xiao Kai very envious!

After discussing with his family, this year Xiao Kai also went to the city to work with those young people in the village, this work is a full ten years, during which Xiao Kai only went back to the house twice, once during the Spring Festival of the first year of work, everyone went home, and Xiao Kai went back with him.

But this time the train ticket went back and forth, so that Xiao Kai nearly a "Grandpa Mao" made Xiao Kai feel a little reluctant, this money is enough to buy a lot of things for the family, so after going back that time, Xiao Kai said to the family, if there is nothing special, he will not come back, he will make more money, and when the time comes, he will also take his parents to the city to enjoy the blessings.

Xiao Kai has not been home since he came back that time, but every month when he pays his salary, he will mail part of his salary back, so that his old father and mother can spend it, if it is not enough, he still has a lot.

The second time is when Xiao Kai worked for the fifth year, when the old father went to work in the field, he accidentally fell and injured himself, but the family was afraid that Xiao Kai was worried, so he didn't tell Xiao Kai, this is still a friend in the same village told Xiao Kai, Xiao Kai after learning the news, he rushed back home non-stop, saw that his father was fine, and stayed at home with the two elders for five days, and then returned to the city.

In those five days, Xiao Kai would chat with his parents every day, introducing them to the beautiful life in the big city, so that the two elders were also full of yearning for life in the city, Xiao Kai persuaded the two elders not to worry, take good care of their health, although they are now working on the construction site is a little hard, but there is still a lot of money, it is estimated that in a few years you can have a house of your own in the city.

It may be that God was moved by Xiao Kai's filial piety, Xiao Kai worked on the construction site for a period of time, was favored by the boss, and suddenly became the manager of the construction site, the work is not so hard, the salary has doubled compared with before, and by the end of the project, if it is completed well, there will be a large bonus commission.

In this way, when Xiao Kai worked in the city for nearly ten years, he finally made a down payment on a two-bedroom house in the city, Xiao Kai could finally fulfill his promise to his parents and take them to the city to enjoy the blessings, in order to surprise the second elder, Xiao Kai did not tell them in advance that he had bought a house in the city.

After the house decoration was completed and moved in, Xiao Kai specially asked the unit for three days off, drove the truck on the construction site, and personally came to the countryside to pick up the second old man into the city!

There was some traffic jam on the way home, but when Xiaokai returned home, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark.

It's been four or five years since the last time I went home, Xiao Kai found that the house in his hometown has become more dilapidated, and some places are broken, seeing here Xiao Kai blames himself in his heart, but also complains a little about his parents, in recent years, he has mailed a lot of money to his home, why don't you know how to find someone to repair the old house, how dangerous it is to live in such a house!

The door of Xiao Kai's house was tightly closed, Xiao Kai parked the car outside, got out of the car and knocked on the rusty door, and shouted: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" When he finished saying this, Xiao Kai suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist, and he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

After a long time, the door slowly opened, only to see an old man standing at the door with the support of an old lady, looking Xiaokai up and down, and only after a while asked, "Are you my Xiaokai?"

Xiao Kai found that his parents were already old, and his heart was even more uncomfortable to death, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and he was already a person who was almost thirty, but he was crying like a child at the moment.

"Mom and Dad, I'm Xiao Kai, I'm back!"

"The old man is really back from our family! Come to Xiaokai and come into the house, it's cold outside!" The old couple also beckoned Xiaokai into the house excitedly, although the home is very old and dilapidated, so it looks very dirty, but the warmth, as well as the care of the second old man for himself, makes Xiaokai feel warm in his heart, and feels that this is the real home here, and it is the place where he can sleep steadily when he is tired.

"Xiao Kai, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time?"

"Mom and Dad, I only asked for three days off from the unit, so I have to go back early tomorrow morning"

"Huh, so fast," said the mother, a little disappointed.

"What's wrong with you old woman, isn't our son too busy with work, it's rare to have time to see us, Xiao Kai, you can rest and rest when you have time, our old couple is in good health, you don't have to run home all the time" The old father said to Xiao Kai.

The old mother also continued: "Yes, Xiao Kai, you are so busy with work, don't be in a hurry to come back" Although the parents' words were so, Xiao Kai could hear that they were just concerned about themselves, in fact, they especially hoped that they could stay at home with them for a few more days.

Xiao Kai didn't want to hide the second elder anymore, so he said to them: "Mom and Dad, I won't go back alone this time, you two elders will also go back with me, I specially borrowed the car of the unit, you see what other important things are at home, bring some important things with you, and divide the rest among everyone, I bought a house in the city, you two elders can go to the city with me to live in a beautiful big house, and our family can meet every day again!"

"Really! My little open is amazing!"

"Of course, Xiao Kai is my son!" the old couple said and laughed, looking very happy.

It was already late after the meal, Xiao Kai chatted with the second elder for a while and went to rest, he hadn't slept on the kang in his hometown for a long time, so Xiao Kai slept very comfortably this night, and slept until dawn.

When Xiao Kai woke up and opened his eyes, the scene in front of him startled him, the home was still the familiar home, the position of the furniture had not changed, but it had become extremely dirty, all the items except the place where he slept, the other places were covered with thick dust, and there were even large cobwebs on the roof and walls, which looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.

Xiao Kai hurriedly got down from the kang and called the second elder but didn't get any response, and finally Xiao Kai saw two tablets placed in a corner of the room, and on them were the names of his parents!

At this time, the second uncle of the neighbor came to Xiao Kai's house, handed over a bank card to Xiao Kai, and told Xiao Kai an amazing news, in the sixth year of Xiao Kai's work, Xiao Kai's father died, and his mother went with him in a few days due to excessive sadness, and the funeral was still helped by the villagers.

Everyone couldn't contact Xiao Kai, and they all thought that Xiao Kai was no longer alive, but last night, the second uncle of the neighbor dreamed of Xiao Kai's parents who had been dead for many years, and handed him a bank card, saying that it was the money that Xiao Kai mailed back over the years, and the old couple had not been willing to spend it, so he asked him to help hand it over to Xiao Kai and keep Xiao Kai to marry his wife.

At first, the second uncle of the neighbor thought it was just a dream, but when he woke up, he saw a bank card next to the pillow.

In the end, Xiao Kai returned to the city with the tablet of the second elder, placed the tablet in his new house, looked at the tablet and said with tears in his eyes: "Mom and Dad, this is the new house I bought!"
