In winter, the night is early, usually until five o'clock, and the sky is almost completely dark.

Yin Zhiping practiced until a little after four o'clock, and saw that the sun in the sky was beginning to sink significantly in the west, so he immediately stopped, and then drove to his parents' house.

His father's name is Yin Mingde, which is taken from the first sentence of the Confucian classic "University", "The way of the university is in Mingmingde". Yoon Myung-deok, who teaches at Gangwon University in the city, is a retired man who is past his sixtieth birthday. It's just that after retirement, I can't be idle, and I was rehired by the school. However, the course schedule after returning to hire is much less than before retirement, so it is very leisurely on weekdays.

My parents' house has been a community for the families of faculty and staff in Gangwon University for decades. Gangwon University is also located on the north bank of the Purgang River, not far from the Gang River when it was first built, and with the continuous development and expansion of the University, its southernmost campus has now stretched along the bank of the Gang River, and last year a campus park was built along the river, which has become a university scene.

This park can be said to be across the river from the community on the south bank of the Yuan River where Yin Zhiping is located. Standing on the rooftop of the eighteenth floor during the day, if you have good eyesight, you can see some scenes on the university campus across the river.

When I drove to the bottom of the building where my parents' house was, it was just dark, and Yin Zhiping looked at the time on his phone, which was 5:20. Looking through the car window, he didn't see the car of the eldest brother Yin Xiuqi downstairs, he smiled slightly, he finally came earlier than the eldest brother and his family.

His parents' house was on the third floor, parked the car, took his mobile phone and keys, and went straight to the third floor. Not long after the doorbell was rang, the security door opened. Yin Zhiping saw that it was his father who opened the door. Hiding the excitement in his heart, he shouted with a smile: "Dad!"

Yin Mingde was a little surprised when he saw him. After answering, he stepped back to the door and said, "You came early today!"

Yin Zhiping took the door with him after entering the door. said: "I don't have anything to do, so naturally I'm coming early." After that, he changed his slippers at the shoe rack at the door, and then walked straight to the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw his mother busy in the kitchen, and shouted happily: "Mom!"

"Zhiping, you're here, it's really early today!" the mother smiled back, "Go sit on the sofa and watch TV first, and wait for your brother and his family to come." Let's get ready for dinner. ”

Yin Zhiping didn't go to the sofa, but took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mom, I'll help you do it!"

"No, you just sit, there's not much left. Mother Yin smiled and refused.

Yin Zhiping ignored it, walked straight into the kitchen and said, "There's not much, then I'll do the rest, Mom, you rest." As he spoke, he snatched the coriander she had chosen.

Mother Yin ducked her hand and dodged, pointed to a bowl of meat on the board and said, "Okay." I'm still here for this, if you want to help, chop that bowl of meat for me a little more, I can't do it anymore. ”

She didn't refuse her son's help anymore, but she smiled even more. It used to be a time for family dinners. Yin Zhiping is usually the last to arrive, and he is usually the first to leave after eating. Not to mention helping her with housework, it seems that she doesn't want to stay at home at all. It's not just so early today. As soon as she entered the door, she offered to help her, which was really rare. She almost doubted. Today's sun is rising in the west.

Yin Mingde stood in the living room and watched Yin Zhiping help in the kitchen, and felt that this little son was very strange and abnormal today. But this strangeness and abnormality is good. So he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, if Yin Zhiping could do this often in the future, it would be more gratifying.

He looked at the kitchen for a while, walked back to the couch and sat down to watch TV, only to watch a piece of news, when suddenly the doorbell rang again. was about to get up and open the door, when suddenly Yin Zhiping came out of the kitchen and said, "Dad, you sit, I'll open the door, it must be my brother and they are here." ”

After saying that, Yin Zhiping had already walked to the door and opened the door, and sure enough, it was the eldest brother Yin Xiuqi's family. He shouted with a smile to Yin Xiuqi and his sister-in-law Fang Huilan, "Brother, sister-in-law!" and then greeted his niece Yin Fangting, who was standing between the two, "Tingting!"

"Zhiping, it's really you, why did you come so early today?" Yin Xiuqi was also surprised that he came so early today, and said as he entered the door: "I saw your car downstairs just now, I thought I was mistaken?"

"Uncle!" Yin Fangting took advantage of her father's conversation to respond to Yin Zhiping's greeting and shouted to him.

Yin Zhiping let them drive, greeted them in, and smiled at Yin Xiuqi: "Brother, you are wearing colored glasses to look at people, can't I come so early?"

"Isn't it too surprising for me to be able to come!" Yin Xiuqi laughed, continued to walk in, and shouted to his father sitting on the sofa and his mother in the kitchen, "Dad!"

Fang Huilan followed and shouted, and then Yin Fangting happily called "Grandpa!"

After saying hello, Fang Huilan also took off her coat and washed her hands, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help Yin's mother cook. Since Fang Huilan went in to help, Yin Zhiping couldn't squeeze in anymore, so he sat on the sofa and talked to his father, eldest brother, and little niece.

Every time the family dinner, Yin's mother started to prepare in advance very early, and she could start cooking it as soon as everyone arrived, and she didn't delay any time. This time it was the same, Yin Zhiping and the others sat on the sofa for a short time, and the dishes in the kitchen were ready and served on the table one after another.

Wait until the last dish is served, and everyone eats together. Eat and talk during the banquet, and have a good time.

Not long after eating, Yin Zhiping was afraid that his parents, brother and sister-in-law would talk about his marriage later, so he withdrew one step ahead of schedule under the pretext that he was busy with work, not giving them a chance to talk.

When I went out, I walked in the corridor and looked at the time on my phone, it was already past seven o'clock. When I got downstairs and walked outside, it was already dark. Where there are no street lights, it is dark and gloomy. Looking up, the night sky is full of stars, and the visibility tonight is still good.

As soon as it gets dark, it's colder outside. However, for Yin Zhiping now, this temperature change is nothing. With his current skills, he has long been able to survive the cold and heat.

After getting into the car and igniting the fire, he turned out of the family building and drove towards the campus park that was newly built last year. The park is built along the riverbank, which is also open to the public, and is not closed, and has access to the riverside road along the river. On Binjiang Road, he didn't need to turn around a few more roads, he could go directly to Caiyun Bridge, and then cross the bridge to return to his home on the other side.

"Ahh

Not far from the campus park, driving on Binjiang Road, passing by a dark alley with no street lights, Yin Zhiping suddenly heard a woman's screams and cries for help from the alley, and he hurriedly stepped on the brakes to stop. (To be continued......)
