After leaving the villa area, Chen Yang returned to the city again. Walking on the street where cars were passing by, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of loneliness. At this moment, there were people coming and going around him, and it was bustling. This was something that did not exist in the apocalypse.
Prosperity is something I am familiar with.【】
But even so, Chen Yang felt like he had been forgotten by the whole world. He finally returned to his original world, but he felt uncomfortable. Chen Yang felt ridiculous for feeling this way.
He dismissed this thought in his mind. There was no point in staying in this world now, but the time in the two worlds still passed by minute by second. While he was wandering around in this world, the apocalypse would happen again.
How many things happened.
The battleship did not receive any news from him, so he would definitely search for it near Mount Everest. After discovering that the head of state was missing, this matter would spread to the country, and it would definitely cause an uproar. Su Qian and the others would be worried about themselves again, and the Human Alliance
, I don’t know how I will react.
As he walked, he felt hungry, which had already deceived a taxi driver. Chen Yang was embarrassed to eat Bawang Meal again. At this time, he suddenly thought of his own home.
This is something that exists in the consciousness of ordinary people at any time. However, when Chen Yang suddenly thought about it, he became excited. Calculating, he would have been in the end of the world for nearly a year. In that environment, he was shackled by some huge and heavy shackles.
Being restrained, I actually let myself ignore the existence of home.
Once upon a time, home was activated deep in his heart only when he came to his father's statue, but it was just to verify his father's identity. Although he returned home that time, he did not see his parents.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang didn't even want to stay where he was for a minute. He just wanted to return to his home and the appearance of his parents in an instant. At this moment, he no longer cared about the eyes of the people around him, and instantly entered the death dragon awakening, spreading his wings and flying towards
Empty.
Although they are both southern cities, the distance between the two cities is not close. If you take the train, it will take more than ten hours. But ten minutes later, Chen Yang appeared above his city, looking at the familiar scenery
, my chest suddenly felt tight.
Chen Yangqiang controlled his emotions and flew through the air at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye. He passed through familiar streets and buildings that he had grown up with. Finally, among the intertwined streets and buildings, he arrived at his old building.
Old residential building.
Chen Yang landed in a small alley. As soon as he settled down, the familiar smell of the air hit his face. It was the air of his hometown that he had lived in for eighteen years and breathed every day.
Walking out of the alley, the residential building is not far away. It looks the same as before. It has only been a year, but in Chen Yang's impression, this year has been extra long, and it feels like a world away.
He approached the residential building and felt the atmosphere around him. It was in the evening and the sun was slowly setting on the edge of the city. It was early spring and there were still sporadic chills in the air. Several children were playing on the road in front of the building.
Playing with the ball, there were three or five old people huddled at the door of the building chatting about daily life.
Chen Yang walked into the door of the building, when an old lady came to him and suddenly shouted.
"Oh, isn't this the son of the Chen family? Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang."
She turned around and spoke to the two old men next to her, as if to confirm that she was not wrong and to ask for their opinions.
The remaining old lady and old man stared at Chen Yang carefully for a while, and suddenly showed expressions of surprise.
"It's really Xiaoyang."
"You kid, where have you run away? Your mother is so anxious."
"It's good now, I'm back." The two old ladies seemed to be more worried than anyone else, and they scolded each other when they came up.
Another old man shouted upstairs, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!"
Chen Yang knew these three old men, they were all neighbors in this building. He hurriedly waved to the three of them.
"Uncle and aunt, please don't shout yet, I want to give my parents a surprise."
The three old men shut up when they heard this, but there were reproachful expressions on their faces.
"This kid is still trying to scare your parents, and he still thinks your mother doesn't worry enough."
Chen Yang smiled apologetically at the three old people, and then walked up the stairs. There were sighs and comments behind him. In fact, the reason why he did not let the old people speak out was that he had been missing for a year for his own reasons, and he did not want his parents to come out again at this moment.
Welcome yourself.
The other point was the main one. Chen Yang was vaguely worried that his father would suddenly disappear after learning that he was back.
At this time, every household began to cook. Since it was an old-fashioned residential building, the corridors were filled with the smell of oil smoke and the smell of food from each household. The sound of frying pans was also heard constantly. My home was on the third floor. The sound just now,
Parents should not hear it.
Seeing the cracks scattered around the corner of the building, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel sad again. This building was left by his grandfather. His parents lived here for nearly 20 years. His father worked hard for so many years and saved enough money.
They wanted to pay the down payment for a house, but their parents refused to buy a house and would rather live in this dilapidated old building. They wanted to use the money to buy a new house for their son when Chen Yang got married.
Before I went to the apocalypse, I felt that all of this was what they should do. They lived in school every day with peace of mind and enjoyed everything their parents brought. Why, I didn't realize it until now.
Finally standing in front of his door, Chen Yang felt that his heartbeat had never been so fast. He took out the key in his pocket, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally knocked on the door.
"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk."
About two seconds later, the sound of slippers hitting the floor came from inside, which was the sound of my father's footsteps.
"Who?"
Along with his father's voice, the door opened. When the father and son looked at each other, they were both stunned.
His father was still the same as before, wearing the sports pants and woolen vest he usually wore at home. When he arrived at Chen Yang, he had a surprised expression on his face, and his whole face seemed to be frozen. He lowered his hand holding the newspaper. Chen Yang concluded,
His hands were shaking slightly.
"Dad..." Chen Yang's throat rolled and he finally shouted.
Father didn't say anything, he just let the door open and said, "Come in."
Chen Yang walked to the living room, closed the door with his father, walked back, took the newspaper and slowly walked to the sofa. In just one year, he found that his father's back had become much older.
"Who is here?" asked Chen's mother who was cooking in the kitchen. The whole room was filled with a spicy smell. Chen Yang likes spicy food, which he followed his father.
"Come out." Father said.
"Who is here?" Mother Chen muttered while wiping her hands on her apron and walked out of the kitchen. When mother and son looked at each other in surprise, Chen Yang felt a trembling light in Mother Chen's eyes that was transmitted from the heart to the eyes.
.
"mom……"
Mother Chen was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly rushed over. Before he could reach her, he saw tears streaming down her face.
Chen's mother hugged Chen Yang. In Chen Yang's memory, his father never scolded him, no matter how big the trouble he got into, he had only been beaten by his mother since he was a child.
"Mom..." Chen Yang touched Mother Chen's shoulder, "I'm sorry...for making you worry..."
"You little brat, I really want to strangle you to death..."
"Mom, it's okay. Am I back now?"
It was his father who received a slap on the head. He rarely lit a cigarette in front of Chen's mother and said, "How dare you say such things? Do you know how your mother came here during this time?"
"mom……"
Mother Chen suddenly let go of Chen Yang, calmed down her emotions, and wiped her eyes with the corner of her apron.
"It's good to be back. Your dad and I are looking forward to the stars and the moon. We are just looking forward to this day. God bless us." She clasped her hands together and said.
But from the look in his father's eyes, it could be seen that this was not the case. Maybe his parents thought something had happened to them, or that they would never come back. From their eyes, he could see the joy that was similar to that of resurrection from the dead.
"You're hungry, and you haven't eaten yet. I'll cook for you right now." Chen's mother still couldn't stop her voice from trembling. Even so, she still took the exam next to Chen Yang, as if if she wasn't careful, her son would be there again.
Disappear before your own eyes.
Chen Yang said, "Mom, let me help you cook."
"If anything, sit down quickly." After hearing what Chen Yang said, Chen Yang pressed Chen Yang on the sofa again and quickly entered the kitchen without closing the kitchen door. She looked back at her son from time to time.
His father was obviously using newspapers to cover up his inner excitement. Chen Yang concluded that he was just like his mother, only controlling his inner emotions.
This emotion came out as soon as Chen's mother left. His father put down the newspaper and looked directly at Chen Yang. He was an honest and responsible person. At this time, he still couldn't say anything. He just asked,
"How's the year going?"
"Not good." Chen Yang said this to pave the way for the next lie.
The father nodded, with an expression that I think so, and there was another moment of silence. After his father's cigarette was burned out, he lit another one, and then stretched out the cigarette case towards Chen Yang.
This was the first time that his father sent him cigarettes. Chen Yang couldn't adapt to it and refused with a wave of his hand.
When the food was served, it was all what she liked. The family sat around the dinner table. Mother Chen said, "God knows Xiaoyang is coming back today, and the food cooked is what he likes."
Perhaps in order to miss their son, they cooked the food that his son liked to eat every day. Chen Yang took a mouthful of vegetables and ate it, and the familiar taste almost made him cry.
Chen Yang had already made up a lie about his whereabouts this year. He told his parents that he was deceived by his classmates into a pyramid scheme organization and was placed under house arrest in a small town in the north. It was not until a year later that, while they were not paying attention, he finally
Escaped.
While Chen Yang was talking, his parents listened very carefully and made comments about "silly kid" and "how can you trust others so easily". Chen's mother even looked concerned about "how is that classmate?" They did not doubt it.
