Chapter 53: Her Majesty's Home

On the way to selling train tickets, I had to pass a closed-lost grocery store. When my father walked past this place, he took a look at the grocery store he had once longed for and remembered the things before, but he was no longer the man who was dazzled by illusory things.

He smiled, walked past the grocery store, and went to the place where he bought the train ticket.

In order to express himself, he had already let go, and when the owner of the Guazi Shop called him, he pretended that he didn't hear it.

At this time, not many people buy train tickets. My father's company did not queue up and bought two train tickets to my mother's hometown tomorrow.

My father took the ticket in his inner pocket and walked around the station to wait for the bus.

My mother and grandma put all kinds of things into the suitcase in the room, thinking while putting them on. I don’t know what their parents would look like when they see them. I haven’t seen each other for so long, I believe they miss themselves very much.

"Zhang Hua, after a while, you pack your things and go to the front to call your house and tell them what you are going to, so that they can be happy, so that no one will answer your answer when you are here."

"Yeah."

My father rode his bicycle back to the compound from the street:

"Wife, I'm back. Have you packed your things?"

My mother pulled up the zipper of her suitcase and walked downstairs:

"I've packed it up, have you bought the ticket?"

My father took out two train tickets from his inner pocket of his clothes:

"Look, everything is done."

Mother nodded:

"Okay, you can prepare dinner for our mother at home. I'll go up to the front and call my parents' home to talk."

"OK."

I don’t know why, but since I have memories, I have a telephone line at home, but I have never installed a landline. At that time, mobile phones were not popular. My mother and father had to call me at my grandfather’s house in front of me.

My mother raised her phone and dialed the number that she had kept in her heart for so many years:

"Dou,Dou,Dou,Dou,Dou..."

"Hello?"

My mother's voice came from her ears:

"Mom, it's me."

"Oh, is it Zhang Hua?"

"It's me, mom."

This sentence made my grandmother so happy. What I am most concerned about in my heart over the years are the two daughters who went out to make money. Unfortunately, they had never seen them when they got married. When they heard their daughter's voice, my grandmother felt much more at ease.

"Zhang Hua, are you okay there? How are their family members treating you? You didn't bully you."

Tears were already rising in my mother's eyes:

"No, mom, they are very nice to me. I'm calling you because there's something good to tell you."

"What's the matter, my daughter."

"I discussed with Minfeng. We plan to take the train back tomorrow to see you. You didn't come either after we got married. We were free during this period and we bought all the train tickets."

"Oh, that's great. Then I'll tell your dad and your brothers and sisters later, by the way, will your sister be back?"

"My sister doesn't come back, so I and Minfeng will arrive in about three days."

Grandma knew that her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for several years, was going to bring her son-in-law back to visit her. She didn't know how to express her happiness:

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell them in a while and let them all prepare."

Mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes:

"Okay, mom, I'll have a break first. Let's have a good chat in person in a few days."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your daughter."

“Hey.”

My mother put down the phone, turned around and walked out of my grandfather's house, and returned to the courtyard.

My father was wearing an apron and was bringing the prepared dishes to the table waiting for his mother to come back for supper:

"I'm back, sit down and have a meal. You've prepared all the food. We'll take a shower after eating. We'll have to make three days of trains. We'll have to rest tonight."

The mother nodded, sat down and had supper.

During this period, grandma kept nagging about what to do when she returned to her parents' home, especially her requirements for her father. She didn't want her father to do anything inappropriate when she went to her mother's hometown, which made the Xu family embarrassed.

After listening to grandma's nagging, the two of them took a hot shower and went to bed early. They were full of expectations for going back to their mother's house. One was to return to their hometown that they had not seen for a long time, and the other was to go to a completely unfamiliar place.

The ticket was nine o'clock in the morning, but we had to rush to the provincial capital to take the train, so the two woke up early and put on their clothes. After hearing a few words from grandma, their father pulled his suitcase and took his mother into the bus to the provincial capital.

My mother had already walked this road when she was traveling to the hospital with her father. In order to survive for three days on the train, my father hugged her mother and slept in the car for a while.

When I woke up, the car had arrived at the station, and there were not many people taking the bus, but it took a few hours to get from the street to the provincial capital. The train was about to arrive at the station. My father took my mother to the station to check the tickets and then stood on the platform waiting for the train to come.

My mother had only taken the train three times before, once from her hometown to come here, twice because of elopement, and this time she was on the way home.

The suitable train is not as loud as it is now, with great noise and speeds not fast. When the train to my mother's house stopped at the platform, my father pulled his mother to find the carriage and location for the two of them. After putting the suitcases in place, he sat in the seat and started the way to Sichuan.

In fact, you can meet all kinds of people on the train. If you want to tell me where you can reflect the appearance of this society, the train is a good place. You will meet a very romantic poet who talks with you, and you will also meet a sarcastic person who makes your journey unhappy anytime and anywhere.

Coincidentally, my mother met good passengers during several train experiences, and they were quite friendly to each other. She saw that her mother was a pregnant woman and the woman sitting opposite her was also very caring for her.

At that time, the train would stop for a long time every time it arrived at a station, and these three days were quite difficult for my father and mother.

Fortunately, my father knew a lot of things. Every time he went to a place, he would tell his mother a story and buy some specialties for his mother to taste.

My mother would put her hands in her pocket from time to time

...

Hai sat in the last carriage of the train, and there was no one in this carriage.

He looked at the world outside the window. Time flies so fast that he has seen the changes in the landscape of the mountains and rivers.

He smiled and disappeared from the carriage.
