Chapter 76 Going Home (It’s the end of the month, collect recommendations and monthly tickets, don’t waste them)

After lunch, he went to the bank to withdraw some cash. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zhihe decided to go home.

When I drove out, the traffic on the road seemed to be lighter.

It took more than an hour to get on the highway, and nearly another hour of driving to the county seat.

There seems to be no change in Fengshan, it still looks familiar.

Looking at the time, it's already half past five.

The last bus was probably late, so Chen Zhihe decided to stay in the county town for one night.

But where to park?

Chen Zhihe thought for a moment. There was an open space in front of the house he rented before, and parking should be possible. As long as the landlord agreed, it would be no problem.

Driving into the alley in front of No. 1 Middle School, everything felt familiar.

The sunset in the evening was not too bright, and the spots on the ground swayed in the wind along the cracks in the camphor trees on the street. Returning here again, Chen Zhihe couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

More than a year has passed in a flash.

Parking the car at the entrance of the yard, Chen Zhihe leaned forward and looked into the yard. The landlord, Grandma Li, was sitting under a tree in the yard, squinting and shaking a cattail leaf fan to enjoy the cool air.

Chen Zhihe called out "Grandma Li".

When Grandma Li heard the sound, she opened her somewhat cloudy eyes, glanced at Chen Zhihe, and then showed a hint of surprise.

"Are you that...that person who rented a house here before?" Grandma Li stood up with her hands on the chair.

Chen Zhihe quickly walked over and helped her sit down.

"Yes, do you still remember me? Chen Zhihe. Please sit down quickly."

It seems that Grandma Li is really old. At the beginning of last year, her hands and feet were still very nimble, but now she is a little shaky when she gets up and walks.

"Remember, when did you come back?" Grandma Li sat on the chair and asked.

"Hey, I just came back. I haven't gone home yet, so I came to your place." Chen Zhihe smiled innocently.

"Okay, okay, just come back and see me." Grandma Li patted her legs and was about to get up, "I'll get you some water."

Chen Zhihe stopped him and said, "Stop working so hard. I'll come and see you. I'll leave in a moment. I parked the car in front of your door. Are you okay?"

Grandma Li was a little surprised. Why did she already have a car?

Standing up and looking outside, Grandma Li nodded: "You are a promising kid. No problem. I'll watch over it for you."

"Then I'm leaving. I'll go to school first." After saying that, Chen Zhihe helped Grandma Li sit down and left.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Chen Zhihe thought for a while and realized that he was indeed careless. He bought some fruits and a box of milk from a roadside shop and returned them.

Seeing Chen Zhihe coming in with something, Grandma Li complained that he was spending money arbitrarily, but she couldn't resist Chen Zhihe, so she had to accept it.

Chen Zhihe left after delivering the things.

It was getting dark gradually, and Chen Zhihe walked towards the school gate.

Walking to the school gate, I vaguely saw the good news and banners for this year's college entrance examination.

Chen Zhihe was in a daze. He had just graduated at this time in his previous life, and his name should have been on the good news.

Everything has changed.

The school was already on National Day holiday. Chen Zhihe originally wanted to go in and have a look, but he was stopped by the security guard. No matter what he said, it didn't work. He was not allowed to enter the school during the holiday.

Chen Zhihe smiled helplessly and had no choice but to leave.

Along the road in front of the school, Chen Zhihe walked aimlessly. The streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere of National Day was very strong.

Chen Zhihe looked around with interest. Although he had studied in the county for ten years, he really hadn't taken a good stroll.

After walking back and forth along the main road of the county, Chen Zhihe came to the Internet cafe at the school gate, the same one where Lin Qingxuan went to find him at night.

Standing at the door and looking up at the Internet cafe sign on the second floor for a while, Chen Zhihe smiled and did not go in.

I don’t know how my old classmate is doing in the United States now.

We found a hotel at the county bus station and stayed overnight with Chen Zhihe.

The conditions were limited and the room was very simple, but Chen Zhihe was not picky. In the Magic City, he had lived in eight-person compartments, so this was nothing.

The next day, Chen Zhihe slept until he woke up naturally. He looked at his phone and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Go out, check out, and go straight to the passenger terminal.

The bus from the county town back to Linhe Town is easy to find, at the same old location.

When Chen Zhihe returned home, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon.

When she got home, Chen's mother was picking vegetables in the living room. When she saw Chen Zhihe coming back, she was stunned for a moment, and then shouted to Chen's father loudly, saying that her son was back.

Putting down the vegetable basket in her hand, Chen Ma asked for help, and then complained to Chen Zhihe why he didn't call home earlier.

Before Chen Zhihe could explain, she directed Father Chen, who came out of the room, to go to the street to buy more vegetables and come back.

Chen Zhihe looked at his mother and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.

In his last life, he ran away to the Magic City without hesitation and could not return home for several years. In the end, his parents gave up the white-haired one to the black-haired one. He could imagine how upset his parents were when the news of his car accident came home.

Devastated.

Chen Zhihe's eyes were moist, he lowered his head and said to Chen's mother: "Mom, I want to eat bacon ribs."

When Chen's mother heard this, she saw that Chen Zhihe looked wrong and thought something had happened. She pulled Chen Zhihe nervously and said, "My mother will make you whatever you want to eat. Tell her if something happened."

?”

Chen Zhihe shook his head and just said that he missed home and wanted to eat the food she cooked.

Chen's mother asked again and again, and Chen Zhihe explained it several times before convincing her that she was indeed homesick suddenly.

After letting Chen Zhihe sit and rest for a while, Chen's mother took out half a piece of watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it, put it on a plate and gave it to Chen Zhihe.

Then, she returned to the kitchen and took out a piece of bacon that had been cut into only lean meat and ribs. She took a basin of hot water and planned to wash it.

Chen Zhihe was sitting on the sofa, eating watermelon and chatting with Chen's mother.

After Chen Ma washed the bacon, she went back to the kitchen and took out a cutting board and knife to chop the ribs.

Seeing this, Chen Zhihe quickly stepped forward to take the knife and said he would get it.

Under Chen's mother's uneasy care, Chen Zhihe raised his knife and cut the ribs in three strokes, five by two, and quickly chopped the ribs.

Mother Chen took away the chopped ribs and sighed in her heart, her son has really grown up.

After a while, Father Chen came back from shopping for groceries and went straight into the kitchen.

After an hour, lunch will be ready.

Seeing a table full of dishes, all of which he loved, Chen Zhihe felt that he really owed his parents too much.

After devouring lunch, Chen Zhihe wanted to clear the dishes, but Chen's mother stopped him, so he had to sit on the sofa and chat with Chen's father.

While talking, Chen Zhihe took the backpack, took out 5,000 yuan, and handed it to Dad Chen.

Father Chen looked at Chen Zhihe questioningly and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

Chen Zhihe chuckled: "In my freshman year, I ranked first in my grade and won the national award, 8,000 yuan. I will give you and mom 5,000 yuan, and I will keep 3,000 yuan for myself."

When Father Chen heard this, he was very excited and praised his son for his potential. He quickly called Mother Chen who was cleaning up in the kitchen to come out.

After Chen's mother came out, Chen's father put 5,000 yuan into her hand and said proudly: "Your son has received an 8,000 yuan scholarship. This is to honor you."

When Mother Chen heard this, her face burst into laughter.

In their hearts, if Chen Zhihe gave them the money from his part-time job, they would only feel distressed, but if he gave them the scholarship, they would only be happy.

After praising Chen Zhihe profusely, Chen Ma put away the money and went back to the kitchen to work.
