Chapter 136 I am no longer the person who is the happiest in the Chinese New Year(1/2)
It was still the familiar small broken train station in my memory, and the smell had not changed at all. Even the big white wall was as buryed as ever. He Xiao knew at a glance that this had never been renovated.
He came out of the train station with trembling trembling. He Xiao saw his sister's familiar figure standing at the door, waiting anxiously for him.
He Jin was wearing a long white down jacket, very conspicuous, standing straight like a proud white swan, looking into the crowd.
She hadn't noticed He Xiao yet, but her face was full of expectations and excitement, and she was not impatient at all because of waiting.
Because she was waiting for her younger brother, her beloved younger brother.
The moment He Xiao saw his sister, the tip of his nose was sore and tears immediately surged up.
Without any hesitation, he rushed forward and pounced on He Jin. The other party realized it and said incoherently: "No...when did you arrive? Why didn't I see you? Didn't you say you arrived at the station at 4:30..."
Listening to He Jin's muttering, He Xiao hugged her tightly, and the smile on his face was about to grin and said softly: "Sister, I miss you."
When He Jin heard his younger brother's words, he felt a little nervous. He took back all his thoughts and nodded heavily.
"Okay, just come back."
The siblings stood at the entrance of the train station and hugged each other. Seeing the warmth of their relatives again, the cold winter feeling dispelled a lot.
He Jin bought a car, a domestic coupe SUV. I just mentioned it last month, which is quite in line with her temperament.
However, after He Xiao came back, the driving task naturally fell on him. He started the engine, started the vehicle, and began to drive in the direction of his home.
"Has our family changed so much? I remember there was no such much greening on both sides of this road before."
Having not returned home for several years, He Xiao felt that the small county town in his hometown was both familiar and unfamiliar.
It was four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, it was dark, and driving on a main road in the county town, He Xiao felt very different from his memory.
"You haven't been back for too long, right? I don't feel any change." He Jin shrugged and expressed his opinion.
He Xiao touched his nose, "Maybe it."
The vehicle turned around and finally drove into a small alley and stopped at the penultimate house inside.
He Xiao’s hometown is from the countryside, but in addition to his grandparents, he also lives in the village. His parents had moved to the city long ago and bought a small square room, which made the family of four squeeze together.
Life was difficult during that period, but He Xiao didn't complain at all, because the small house carries too many memories of his childhood.
It was not until more than ten years ago that my parents decided to go out to work. After working in Ice City for a few years, they finally opened their own restaurant and their living standards began to improve.
He Xiao stayed in Bingcheng to study during that time, and he bought the piano at that time.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After a brief period of wealth, the He family suffered a Waterloo business. The parents were reluctant to endure it for several years, but they still couldn't recover. Not only did they make money, they also lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After this incident, my parents were disheartened and were deeply hit. They returned to their hometown to work odd jobs to make a living, and they would return to the countryside to help their grandparents play.
This barren situation continued until this year to improve. Because He Xiao made his debut, he had a certain ability to attract money, and he put tens of millions of copyright fees into his pocket, so he naturally could not let his parents suffer anymore. He had already given a lot of money to his family. This is how his sister He Jie bought his car.
The house has also been purchased properly. It is the best and most advanced community in the county town. However, the decoration has not been completed yet, so I can only live in this small bungalow that carries countless memories of the family.
It is estimated that it will take until after the New Year to move into your new home.
"Mom, my brother is back!"
He Jin pushed open the red painted door, walked through the small yard, and pulled He Xiao into the room.
The elderly have less sleep and get up early every day. So at 4:30, when the young man was still sleeping with his head covering, He Xiao's parents had already gotten up for a long time.
In addition, today is the day when He Xiao returns home, the old couple has been anxious for a long time and don’t know how many times they have to look at the door in a minute.
When He Xiao entered the house, his mother Li Chengjuan was the first to meet him, holding He Xiao in his arms and not letting go, while his father stood behind and grinned and laughed.
"Son! Let my mother see, she is taller and thinner."
My mother held He Xiao's face and looked up and down with red eyes, her eyes full of heartache.
She didn't know what happened to her son in Yanjing, because He Xiao seemed to be reporting good news but not bad news. She never told her family about things outside, but her mother could also imagine that her baby son must have suffered a lot.
Li Chengjuan is a beautiful woman who is 49 years old. She looks like she is thirty-nine. She has no wrinkles on her face and can’t find any white hair. Her sister He Jin perfectly inherits her mother’s genes to look so beautiful.
But at this moment, this beautiful face was covered with tears.
"My son is promising, my son is promising..."
Li Chengjuan pinched He Xiao's arm tightly and repeatedly said this sentence, feeling excited and happy.
There is a son who is a celebrity who is very proud of his face when he speaks it out.
"Mom, am I back now?" He Xiao's eyes also turned red. Looking at his mother who hadn't seen for two years, the memory suddenly returned to the day he had just gone to Yanjing. At that time, he happened to farm in the countryside. His mother got up early to see him off, and walked all the way from the village to the station. In the end, He Xiao was left alone in the carriage crying loudly.
The pictures of that year are vivid in my mind!
Now that life is better, such things will never happen again. No matter how far away the distance is, as long as you want to see it, you can book a plane ticket at any time and you will never have to worry about money again.
Money can solve 99% of the troubles, and this sentence is absolutely true.
"dad……"
He Xiao looked up at his father who was silent but had a smile on his face, and called out with a choking sound.
His father He Jiandong was his lifelong idol and he also paid too much for this family.
He Jiandong is a very smart but not good at speaking. He was a little rebellious when he was young. He dropped out of school after junior high school, which also began his bumpy life.
Because he was not educated and had nothing to do after dropping out of school, he could only work hard. When he was a teenager, he would go to the stone farm to move stones. He got up at four o'clock every morning and pushed two carts of stones before he could have dinner. It was considered as getting off work when it was dark at night.
When he went there for the first year, he struggled to pick up the smallest piece of stone. Three months later, he picked up the big stones worth dozens of kilograms and left. If he didn't work, he would have no food to eat. He trained his strength to achieve his strength.
And this has been done for ten years.
The most important decade in life was wasted on the quarry.
Ten years later, the 26-year-old He Jiandong got married, and his partner was his mother Li Chengjuan. Perhaps God felt pity for him, so he gave him a beautiful daughter-in-law.
He Jiandong only spent 18,000 yuan to marry Li Chengjuan home.
After marriage, the couple lived a difficult life as usual, and the salary of the quarry could no longer support the family. So, according to someone's introduction, He Jiandong, who had only one effort, found another job, and was still working hard to fight the sacks for the grain warehouse.
This has been another ten years.
Including the previous work in the quarry, the whole twenty years of youth are also the most beautiful and brilliant twenty years in a person's life, and they are gone like this.
Do you regret it?
Of course I regret it.
He Jiandong hated that he had taken the wrong path back then. Even if he was not a student, he would be better than hard work than going to the army.
He once told He Xiaoyu earnestly after being drunk: People must see more of the world. The people you have come into contact with and the things you have experienced determine your vision, and your vision determines your pattern, and your pattern determines your life.
This is the experience he has earned through half his life.
So after He Xiao dropped out of school, he chose to go to Yanjing to explore the world, but He Jiandong did not stop him.
Studying is very important, but you cannot read books until you die. Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Only by walking thousands of mountains and rivers and seeing one city after another can you gain a foothold in this world.
When I saw my father again, all the past came to my heart in an instant, and He Xiao couldn't help but choke up.
This is his father, a father with no prospects and the most promising father. He is worthy of his life's grief and admiration.
"Looking at your end, why are you crying? Don't you know if a man doesn't cry easily?"
He Jiandong grinned with a smile on the corner of his mouth and patted He Xiao on the shoulder. The emotions between father and son are not as direct as those expressed between mother and son. The father rarely hugs his son, and the care is rarely expressed directly. They are hidden in his heart and do not speak.
"Dad, life is better now. You go to Yanjing with me! I'll buy a house in a big city to let you enjoy it." He Xiao took back his tears and made a proposal full of filial piety.
He Jiandong shook his head and said without saying a smile: "I've been like this in my life. It's great to stay in my hometown. Besides, relatives and friends are all in my hometown. Why do I go to Yanjing, an unfamiliar place? Why would you spend 500,000 yuan to buy me a mountain, so that I can beat the pine tree tower every year and sell mountain goods."
My father was not intimate about Yanjing, but he liked to stay in the village and live a carefree life. He had special feelings for the mountains.
He Xiao had no choice but to nod. The old man really doesn’t like to mess around. He can travel outside occasionally, but he will definitely not want to settle down.
"This old man is cleansing things day by day, and his son is kind-hearted." Li Chengjuan glared at He Jiandong, then smiled and said, "Son, after the New Year, you can take your mother to Sanya to see the sea."
"Okay, after the New Year, our whole family will go to Sanya for the winter." He Xiao agreed.
Going to Sanya is a wish of my mother. She has always wanted to see the warm tropical areas and have a comfortable winter. There are many friends there.
People in Northeast China seem to have a natural yearning for Hainan. Those with some financial ability have gone there, so that people in Hainan are flooded with people in Northeast China and are nicknamed the fourth province of Northeast China by netizens.
My mother was not immune to the comfort of Sanya, so she brought it up without hesitation to her son.
He Xiao naturally agreed that money is a string of numbers for him. He made money just to spend it for his family. He would not feel sorry for even spending millions of money at once.
To be honest, at this point, He Xiao is not worried about his poverty in the future, because Chinese celebrities are the most profitable, and money will only continue to earn money. He has a fan base of tens of millions. Just for this, he can't make money without wanting to make money.
"My mom and dad, brother, stop chatting, let's eat dumplings first, it will be cold later."
At this time, his sister He Jin walked out of the kitchen with a plate of dumplings. The dumplings were filled with leeks and eggs. They were wrapped last night and waited for He Xiao to cook for him after he came back this morning.
Just now, when He Xiao was chatting with his parents, He Jie had already put the dumplings into the pot.
"Yeah, there are also wheat ears? It looks like my mother's bag."
He Xiao picked up a wheat ear-like dumpling. Only his mother would make this shape in the whole family. He Xiao liked to eat it the most when he was a child.
At this time, I drizzled some soy sauce and put it in my mouth and bit it. The smell of leeks and eggs burst out, stimulating the taste buds and dancing on the tip of my tongue, which was better than all the deliciousness in the world.
It smells so good!
"Eat slowly, there are vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic... or not."
