I traveled far away in my youth and returned to my hometown in my youth. I was so excited that I walked all the way at night through familiar and unfamiliar places. It was not until I stood on the street where I grew up as a child that I felt completely speechless.
I can't find the home I used to live in. This familiar place has changed drastically. The streets with bungalows are all gone. They are replaced by high-rise buildings, shopping malls and roads. I looked at the watch that Xie Qihua gave me. It was 3:30 in the morning. Because of the fire
The reason why Wu gave it to me was that I didn’t withdraw any cash at all. At this moment, I only had a bank card and recovery procedures with me.
The banks were not open at this time, so I got excited and drove Huo Wu and the others away. It was my own fault. Now I could only eat the wind and sand, stand in the middle of the city, and wait for the dawn.
As a human whose body has just recovered, I still feel a little tired from standing like this. As the sky gets brighter, sanitation ladies start to appear on the streets, and as it gets a little brighter again, pedestrians who work the early morning shift start to appear.
People started coming and going on the road.
Just when I was thinking that this was not an option, maybe I should ask the police uncle to ask where my family had moved. I finally saw an old man who once lived on our street. I grabbed this one excitedly
The uncle whose name I had long forgotten almost suffered a heart attack due to this unexpected situation.
After some reassurance, the uncle slowly calmed down and told me that if he had no money, it was best to go to the train station to beg for food. It was an easy place to get money with people coming and going.
I quickly explained that I was the boss of the Ma family who used to live on this street. When I was a child, I stole pickles and dumplings from your house to eat.
The uncle has a very good memory and immediately remembered who I was. He also asked me how often I would return the pickle dumplings to him. I said, uncle, this is not the point. We will talk about the pickle dumplings later. Can you first tell me where the Ma family has moved to?
?
The uncle only knows that our family moved to a few residential buildings not far across the street. As for the specific house numbers, he is not too clear. However, those buildings are all old neighbors who lived there, so I went there very well.
inquire about.
I thanked the uncle and promised to return a box of pickles to him if I had the chance. I quickly walked to the place the uncle mentioned. I walked across the street and alley until I came to the three residential buildings the uncle mentioned. The first floor was downstairs.
The old men and women were chatting together after buying groceries, and I was just about to go over and ask which building the Ma family lived in. I turned around and saw my parents chatting with two couples of the same age at the door of a unit next to me.
.
I couldn't describe my feelings at the moment, let alone call out the honorific names of my parents who had been separated for a long time. I could only rush to my parents, kneel down on the ground and kowtow three times. I looked up at my parents again, tears streaming down my face.
.
My parents were startled by my sudden move. When the second elder saw clearly that it was me, what my mother was holding fell to the ground. My father’s lips kept trembling with excitement. Our family did not cry loudly, but just vented to each other silently.
of family affection.
My parents patted my head emotionally and proudly told the neighbors who were a little dumbfounded.
This is when my son came back from the army to visit our old couple, and then my mother took me by the hand and took me back to her home like she did when she was a child. This is a small penthouse suite with two rooms, and there is a small strip at the door.
Corridor. Opposite the end of the corridor is a small toilet. There is a small kitchen opposite the two bedrooms. This house should only be thirty or forty square meters in size. I feel it is not as big as the bungalow I lived in before. After all, the bungalow used to have
Got a small yard.
A house serves as both a living room and a bedroom, as well as for dining. This room looks like my sister Ma Li’s house. There are many dolls placed in the room. When I look at this room, I think of Ma Li, who is six years younger than me.
There was a hint of warmth.
She was less than ten years old when I left, and she turned into a big girl in her twenties in the blink of an eye. Ma Li was very close to me when she was young, but as an older brother, I always thought she was a little brat.
, a follower, so I often leave her alone and go play alone.
Now that I think about it, my sister, who has been very sensible since she was a child, feels a little regretful. My parents haven’t seen me for more than ten years, so naturally they had a lot to say during this family gathering. I sat between them and smiled, listening to their elders’ chatter, and occasionally picked up the stuff myself.
If you can, answer the two elders a few words. This scene makes me happy and comfortable. It seems that the sadness of Shuibaby's departure has finally been alleviated. Family is the best spiritual harbor.
It was noon in the blink of an eye, and my mother prepared a meal for me. She even ran out to buy a lot of vegetables. We had a phone installed at home, and my mother used the home phone to page Ma Li, who worked in the photography studio, and asked her to prepare lunch for me.
I must go home. But my mother didn't say what it was. She wanted to give Ma Li a surprise.
As soon as her mother prepared lunch, Ma Li led a boy back home. I was shocked as soon as they entered the door. Ma Li dyed her hair yellow and dressed very masculinely, with several large blouses on her pants.
The hole. It looks like it’s up to me.
The boy next to her is not much better than her. He has long hair in a pigtail and there is no place to look at. Fortunately, the faces of these two children are relatively clean. At least I can see them clearly.
He looks like him. This makes me feel a little more comfortable.
People say blood is thicker than water. Ma Li, a little punk, threw herself into my arms without any introduction from her parents. It turned out that this girl recognized me as her brother. The next scene was warm and harmonious. Ma Li and
The way her boyfriend dressed made my heart tremble a little, but who am I to judge a family member I haven't seen for so many years.
Anyway, health and happiness are more important than anything else, so be punk. My mother told me that my father has not been in good health these years. Thanks to Ma Li’s boyfriend Ma Da, he helped the family with a lot of things. Basically all the physical work at home was done by Ma Da.
Someone took over the contract.
I thought to myself that Ma Li and Ma Da are quite destined. The most important thing is that Ma Da has indirectly replaced me and fulfilled my filial piety to my parents for so many years. I am very grateful to my sister and her boyfriend.
I was so happy that I picked up my glass of wine and called Ma Da a brother-in-law, and instantly recognized this brother-in-law in my heart. Ma Li, Ma Da took leave from the company and stayed with me until the evening. Ma Da said goodbye to us politely after helping my mother clean up the housework.
It made me understand that people should not be judged by their appearance, and the last bit of my prejudice against his dressing style was wiped away.
Everyone has a different way of living. I should learn to respect their way of living. As long as you are kind, everything will be sunny. I was embarrassed about how to rest at night. My parents and sister took me to the top floor of a unit next to this building. They opened the door and went in.
, this home has the same size and layout as my own home just now, except that the furniture is a little simpler.
My mother told me that she bought this house a few years ago for me to live in. My mother and my father are both laid-off workers, and my father is in poor health and can only do odd jobs to earn some money. If not
My monthly salary of over one thousand is really difficult for my family.
My parents originally wanted to buy me a bigger house, but they didn't have enough money, so they had to buy this adjacent house. Anyway, it gave me a nest. Listening to my mother's words made me feel extremely sad, so I hurriedly asked Mr. Li.
He took out the bank card given to me and handed it to my mother.
At first, my mother was determined not to, and told me to keep it for myself. But when she found out that there was 500,000 in this card, she was shocked, and she became very nervous and asked where the money came from. I told my mother that this was
She believed what I said easily about the allowances for special units and bonuses for missions.
My mother happily put the card away and said that it would be used for my future wife. She also explained that it was not safe to leave the money in my hands and that she would keep it for me. I looked at my mother's satisfied expression and felt a little grateful to Mr. Li.
This snake oil.
My parents stayed with me until very late at night, and Ma Li was tired of me continuing to chat. She took out a box from under the bed and opened it. It was full of things I left behind when I left. I looked at the watch in the box,
The rope necklace made me feel very dazed. The figures of Ruibao and Taozi slowly appeared in my mind.
Ma Li said that the old house was demolished five years ago. Lao Yutou, my master, disappeared after the old house was demolished. Since then, no one here has seen Lao Yutou again, and no one knows him.
Where did it go.
Three years after her parents and Ma Li moved here, Li Tao came over. She told my parents that she and Yang Rui had been studying abroad over the years. This time Yang Rui returned to China to study at a prestigious school in the south, and she also
Then he ran back.
Li Tao came to see me to make sure I was really dead. She also said that she and Yang Rui had never forgotten me over the years. They both hoped that I was still alive. My parents remembered the confidentiality agreement they signed back then, so they didn't.
Dare to say anything to Li Tao, but just perfunctory and evasive. When Li Tao saw her parents' attitude, she could only stand up and leave. Before leaving, she told her parents that she didn't want to go to school anymore and that she wanted to be a businessman like her aunt.
And she likes this city full of childhood memories, so she is ready to start her entrepreneurial journey here.
A few months ago, Ma Li actually met Li Tao again on the street. Ma Li wanted to hide away in order to avoid trouble, but was recognized by Li Tao, who was dressed fashionably and brightly. She enthusiastically pulled Ma Li to chat, and even
She said that when she went home a few years ago, she happened to be away from home, and if we met by chance this time, she would definitely treat her to dinner.
Ma Li made an excuse to reject Li Tao's invitation. Before leaving, Li Tao asked about me again, but Ma Li did not dare to tell her the truth. But Li Tao seemed to know something, and she told Ma Li that she would start the business by herself now.
She went to a shopping mall and got in touch with the Gao brothers. She left her mobile phone number and asked Ma Li to go visit her when she had nothing to do.
The Gao brothers are also doing well now. Ma Li once met Zhan Kui driving a luxury car on the street, but she did not go over to say hello. My sister and I chatted for a while, and Ma Li's sleepy eyes opened.
I went back to sleep after I stopped working. I was very happy to know some news about Li Tao, Yang Rui, and the Gao brothers. It turns out that Taozi and Ruibao have now returned to China.
