The buddy was surprised to see that I had been silent and suddenly spoke, and turned his head and asked in Sichuan dialect: "Brother, have you also been to Xiangxi Miao Village?" ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, the scenery is good, and I heard that the country is going to engage in tourism development." "Actually, at that time, I hadn't been to Xiangxi at all, just casually said, but I didn't expect that now, that place has really become a tourist location, a lot of mysterious things have been deliberately rendered, but a lot of the truth has been covered up, the only thing that can not be concealed is the local folk customs, for many reasons, it is still very strong.

"I don't know. But speaking of which, I really want to go to Xiangxi to see my mother-in-law's hometown, which I haven't even been. The man was very interested in saying that, after hearing this, I knew that this man was probably not bragging about his experience, but only exaggerating.

I pretended to understand and asked, "Which village does your mother-in-law belong to?" You can tell me about it, maybe I've been there, and I can describe it to you. ”

The man frowned a little and said: "My mother-in-law is very taboo about her own stockade, and rarely talks about it, I only heard her mention it once when she was about to die, in that piece of the village. ”

xx, I don't know anything about Xiangxi, of course I don't know where he is, but I silently wrote down that place, you must know that it is not easy to go to Miao Jiang to find Gu Miao, there are some clues that are always good, and Gu Miao does not contact with the general village, but Gu Miao knows each other, there will be some contact, I heard Ling Ruyue once mentioned it, there is a special transaction between Gu Miao, if I have this clue, maybe I can find out where Ling Ruyue and the others are.

It's ashamed to think about it, although Ruyue and I have been together for a short time, we have a good relationship, and we are really like brothers and sisters, and I don't even know where she is.

But she didn't say it, she didn't seem to mention it much.

When I asked this, I casually said a few perfunctory sentences, and I didn't say much, let alone brag about what I knew, low-key in front of people, not much to say, I know, even if I haven't faced much society.

But after all, after talking to others, I didn't want to continue sleeping, I tried hard to be cheerful, but I still couldn't fit in, listening to them blowing, I really fell asleep.

When I woke up, I had already seen the familiar landscape of Sichuan, and I was back here again.

Not long after, the train arrived at Chengdu Station, I still politely said goodbye to a few people in the same seat, and got off in a hurry, this time, I didn't plan to stay in Chengdu, I told Crispy Meat, I will go to him in half a year, because I have to accompany my parents first.

Thinking of my parents and sister, my heart is a little hot, and I can't wait to go home immediately, but when I stepped on the bus home, I was scared, afraid to see my parents, after so many years, will they be strange to this son?

My sisters are fine, after all, when they are in Beijing, I can still see them twice a year.

The more I think about it, the more uneasy my heart becomes.

At that time, the national highway line had not yet been repaired, and the bus bumped for a day before it reached the prefecture-level city to which my hometown belonged, but at this time, there was no car to my town, so I had to stay here for a day.

This city is the closest to my hometown, but it's a pity that I've never been here once because I've grown so big.

At this time, it was the beginning of the lanterns, when the lights of thousands of homes were on, I walked silently in this city with my luggage, looking at all this, I suddenly remembered the lights of my house, the smell of my mother's cooking, and my father's smile

There is some warmth in my heart, but also a little sadness, and the feeling of homesickness is even heavier, Master, Master, you said that the heart of nature, only experience, do not interfere, but how do you want me to let go of the warmth of this person's fireworks, even if it is just a trace of warmth, it is as heavy as ten thousand pounds in my heart at the moment. I, still, can't let go.

I ate a little casually, spent the night in a small hotel, and when I got up early the next day, I looked at my luggage and felt even more timid.

I got up from my bed, rushed to the simple bathroom of the little hotel, began to wash, shaved very carefully, and took care of my hair, and when I was done, I turned out my best set of clothes and put them on carefully.

After doing all this, I looked in the mirror and smiled bitterly, and I realized that I was quite cheesy.

Hehe, a cheesy Taoist priest, he doesn't feel like a fairy at all, what's the difference with ordinary people? It's all the same, there is a kind of mentality of returning to their hometown, even if they save face, they have to hold it up.

Actually, it's really not for anything else, just for the sake of the parents' hearts who are looking forward to the scenery and the future, you must know that I am in Beijing, a big city in my parents' hearts, who have stayed in the big city for so many years, how can I bear to disappoint them? I'm going to satisfy them.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I finally stepped on the bus back to my hometown, carrying simple luggage and gifts for my parents.

A few hours later, I was standing in that familiar town, and when I arrived at the station, I almost didn't recognize this town, which had become so prosperous after so many years.

As soon as I walked out of the station, I met an acquaintance, Hu Xueman, a bearded uncle.

He looked at me, I looked at him, the two of them were speechless for a while, and then they smirked at the same time, and he suddenly came over, rubbing my head as if he was a child, but found that he couldn't reach it, and he said, "Stinky boy, you've grown tall." ”

This sentence undoubtedly broke the alienation brought by time and space, and the relationship from many years ago came back again, and I said with a smile: "It's not high, it's 1.82 meters." ”

"Haha" Uncle Hu laughed, and I noticed that this Uncle Hu, who was in the prime of life at the time, already had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

I can't help but feel a little sour, I am still the eldest when I am young, and my hometown accent has not changed, and Uncle Hu is already like this, what about my parents?

When Uncle Hu saw me looking at him, he couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at, Sanwa'er?" ”

I tried to say as easily as possible: "Aunt Hu, are you old?" ”

Uncle Hu pretended to be angry and slapped me lightly on the chest, saying, "Why do you still call me Aunt Hu like when you were a child?" Who said I'm old, I'm young. As he spoke, he had already taken my luggage and pulled me to a Santana.

In the 90s, such a town, this car was already very remarkable.

I looked at Uncle Hu strangely and asked, "Uncle, have you made a fortune?" ”

"Fart, it's not the department that guards here, but after a few years, I've been promoted, and I've gone to the big city, and I still have the power to transfer a car, you know, our department is special, and the shunting is nothing. I was going to pick you up at the bus station yesterday, but I was afraid of missing it, so I was waiting for you here early this morning, and sure enough, I waited for you. "Uncle Hu doesn't know if it's because I'm old, and I'm long-winded, and I chatter endlessly when I see me.

I heard the warmth in my heart, and finally had a sense of intimacy in returning to my hometown, and I was no longer so timid, so I asked, "Uncle Hu, why do you want to pick me up?" ”

"Nonsense, isn't it saving you face? Drive back in the car, your parents' faces will also shine. Uncle Hu said casually, I was already sitting in the car with him at this time, listening to what he said, I was moved in my heart again, and I couldn't help shouting: "Uncle Hu"

Uncle Hu pretended to take a thousand yuan from his bag and stuffed it into my hand, and said, "I know the situation of Jiang Ye, and our department is quite well-informed. I asked a colleague when you left Beijing, and I think it's time to arrive today. Jiang Ye left. It's more difficult for you kid, and I know it, so you take the money, and you know that your parents, including the neighbors around you, think that you have gone to Beijing, a beautiful person. ”

Speaking of which, Uncle Hu didn't say anything, I understood the meaning of his words, I pinched the thousand yuan, my eyes were hot, and I finally put it in my pocket, this department has a high allowance, but it definitely can't be compared with rich people, 90 years, a thousand yuan is a lot, I wrote down this friendship, I didn't say anything vulgar about paying back the money, I know what I should do.

The car starts and heads for my house!
