People have been coming back one after another in the past two days, and Wang Ying can't sit still. Fortunately, her home is by the roadside, so she just grabs a small bench and sits at the gate of the family courtyard every day to wait.

Shi Dayong was in a hurry to get on the road. It was already dark before he found a hotel to rest. He got up even earlier the next morning and set off in the morning glow. The child felt restless, and not long after getting on the bus, Shi Ke fell asleep on the seat again.

.

Zhang Qiang was exhausted. The prolonged posture and the high level of mental concentration were too much for his body. He kept following Shi Dayong's car. Shi Dayong couldn't stop the car without resting, so he could only grit his teeth and follow.

At noon, passing through Guangping, Shi Dayong stopped slowly on the side of the road, ready to eat something before leaving. Zhang Qiang followed closely, jumped out of the car, first stretched his body, and then pressed his lower back to move his waist.

, he stood with Shi Dayong with a grimace, "Dayong, no, I'm too tired. I have to take a good rest after eating."

Shi Dayong's mind was still in a state of excitement and he really didn't feel very tired. However, Brother Zhang looked tired and seemed to be tired. He held Shi Ke in his arms and said with a smile: "Okay, today is the day anyway."

I can get home."

"Brother Zhang, what do you want to eat?" Shi Dayong looked at the stores on the roadside, preparing to find a restaurant to rest.

"I can eat whatever I want. What do you want to eat, Keke?" Zhang Qiang asked Shi Ke, who was still lying in his father's arms.

Shi Ke yawned, wrapped his arms around Shi Dayong's neck, and turned his little face, "Uncle, I want to eat buns."

"Eat Baobao, that's ok, Dayong, just find a dumpling shop and order some dumplings to eat."

Shi Dayong originally wanted to find a noodle shop and buy three bowls of noodles. But when his daughter said she wanted to eat dumplings, he immediately changed his mind, "Let's go eat dumplings!"

We found a small restaurant and the three of us ordered one pound and two taels of dumplings. After the meal, Shi Dayong got up to pay the bill, but Zhang Qiang held him down and said, "I'll pay."

At that time, he saw with his own eyes that Shi Dayong left three hundred yuan at Zhao's house. Later, he treated everyone to a meal, which probably cost a lot of money. The construction site only paid subsidies, which was one month.

Sixty yuan, all in all, Shi Dayong didn't have much money in his pocket.

Brother Zhang took such good care of him all the way, and Shi Dayong felt a little sorry, "I'll come, I'll come, I don't have much money."

"Okay, don't compete with me." Zhang Qiang said, and directly handed the money to the boss.

"Brother Zhang..." Shi Dayong muttered. The relationship between the two families was so good that he couldn't always talk about thanking him, which would appear to be a heretic. He could only keep it silently in his heart and make up for it later.

"Let's go." Zhang Qiang walked in front, "I have to go to the car and take a nap. Do you two want to take a nap or go for a walk?"

Coco slept all morning, and could not sleep anywhere. He was not sleepy at all. Shi Dayong looked down at his energetic daughter and said with a smile: "You can rest, I will take the child for a walk and I will call you back later."

The father and daughter walked freely along the street. The town was not big, and there was a small river in the middle. The riverside was full of weeping willows. There were steps connecting the riverside, and there was a large bluestone slab placed where it connected with the water.

It looks like a place for washing clothes. The water is crystal clear and you can see groups of small fish swimming in the distance.

Shi Dayong likes water. When he was a child, his only recreational activity was fishing. Later, he joined the workforce and was busy with the livelihood of his family. He had no time to go fishing. When he was free, he often dreamed of fishing with Wang Ying, "When we grow old

Now that we are retired, we will go back to our hometown, and if nothing happens, I will take my grandchildren to go fishing."

In the rare free time, Shi Dayong led Shi Ke down the steps, found a clean place to sit down, took off his shoes, and stretched his bare feet into the water. The cold river water was refreshing, and there was a piece of green above his head, and the silk ribbon was blown by the breeze.

Swinging gently, after a while, a school of fish swam over and pecked their feet.

"Hehehe, daddy, the little fish came to bite my foot." Shi Ke's feet were itchy from the bites of the little fish. She raised her little feet and leaned forward and back in joy.

"If you dare to bite my daughter, let your father catch them for you." Shi Dayong petted Shi Ke's head lovingly, rolled up his trouser legs, and stood tiptoe by the river, with his hands together ready to catch fish for his daughter to play with.

To be honest, as his first child, Shi Dayong has never taken Shi Ke out to play. He even wants to raise his eldest daughter as the main labor force in the family.

I remember that Coco was just over four years old at that time. When Shi Dayong came home from duty, his work clothes were covered with thick oil stains. Wang Ying couldn't stand it and urged him with disgust: "Look at how dirty your clothes are.

Take it off quickly and I'll go wash it off."

Shi Dayong took off his clothes, but instead of handing them to Wang Ying, he winked at his wife and shouted: "Keke, come here, help dad wash the clothes."

Coco was dumbfounded. She had never washed clothes before. Not to mention her father's big clothes, she had never washed her own small coat. Her father's clothes were thick and heavy. She couldn't even lift them. She had no strength.

Go wash?

Shi Ke looked at Wang Ying for help, "Mom."

"Don't call your mother. You should help your mother with some housework at this age. Go and get the basin." Shi Dayong pretended to be sullen, but with a smile in his eyes, he warned Wang Ying: I will educate the children, you

Don't talk much.

Without backup, Shi Ke reluctantly pulled the big basin at home, struggled to drag his father's clothes into the basin, then stuck out his little buttocks and pulled the big basin under the water pipe outside. He followed his mother's example and turned on the faucet.

The clothes were soaked, so the next step was to rub them. Unexpectedly, the clothes became even heavier after they were soaked. She couldn't lift them and couldn't even rub them. The clothes couldn't be washed clean. She didn't even dare to go home and just stood there.

There was crying outside.

Ever since Coco was lost, Shi Dayong felt sorry for the child every time he thought about it. Coco was so small that he couldn't even bear the pain. Why did he think about training the child?

The two of them played by the river for a while. After calculating that time was almost up, Shi Dayong took Shi Ke back. Far away from the car, Zhang Qiang's loud snoring could be heard.

"I haven't woken up yet." Shi Dayong knocked on the door, "Brother Zhang, it's late, it's time to get up."

Zhang Qiang was sleeping deeply. Shi Dayong shouted several times before waking him up. He turned over and sat up, and asked in confusion: "Well, what time is it?"

"It's almost two o'clock. Let's go. If we delay any longer, it will be dark when we get home."

"Oh." Zhang Qiang wiped his face with a towel and waited until he was completely awake before saying, "Let's go!"

Seeing the outline of the family home from a distance, Shi Dayong became even more excited. He first honked the horn, then pointed in front and asked Shi Ke, "Keke, do you still remember our home?"

Do you remember that place? It’s a haunting place. I remember that I had traveled all over this piece of rock. The cliff on the left was her favorite place to play. In the summer, there were many cicada monkeys on it. At night, she would hold a can in her arms.

Ping Ping went to pick them with the children. There were many kinds of fruits on them, such as wild apricots, peaches, persimmons, walnuts and so on. Thinking of wild apricots, Shi Ke was still frightened. If he hadn't gone to pick apricots by himself, he wouldn't have met the old monster. He would do it again in the future.

I won’t pick apricots anymore.

"Remember." Shi Ke turned her head and looked at the familiar surroundings. Suddenly, she saw a person standing at the door of the family home. It was her mother. It was unmistakable. She shouted excitedly: "Dad, mom is there!"

"

Shi Dayong also saw it. He honked the horn twice more, and stuck his head out of the car window, shouting desperately: "Yingzi, I'm back, I brought our daughter back, Yingzi"

Wang Ying was sitting on the bench, doing needlework in her hands. She looked up from time to time at the passing cars. When Shi Dayong honked the horn for the first time, she heard it. She looked up at the road she came from and found two cars.

The cars were getting closer and closer, and she had a hunch that there must be Dayong's car among them. She hurriedly put the needles and threads in the basket, stood up, and put up an awning with her hands to look over.

Sure enough, it was Dayong! Wang Ying saw Shi Dayong waving to her, and heard Dayong say that he had brought his daughter back. Wang Ying ran towards the car.

"Squeak--" Shi Dayong braked and stopped the car firmly in front of Wang Ying, "Yingzi, look, Coco, I found Coco."

The little person in the passenger seat was clearly the daughter she had longed for. Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, "Coco." She didn't wait for Dayong to get out of the car, hurriedly ran to the side, and pulled away the passenger seat.

The goalkeeper Shi Ke next slapped Cocoa twice on the buttocks, "Where did your child go? Do you know you scared your mother to death!" Then he hugged Cocoa tightly in his arms and said, "My poor child.

, you are back, I miss my mother so much, wuwu..."

"Mom, mom, wow..." The familiar embrace, the familiar smell, it was really my mother. The mother and daughter were holding each other's arms and crying on the street.

The cry alarmed the people in the courtyard, and some people came out to see what was going on, "Ah, it's really Keke who's back!" Old Mrs. Liu exclaimed and hurried over, "Keke, it's really you.

"

Cui Yunxiang also heard it and hurriedly ran over, "My master Huang Tian is here, Coco is back."

Shi Ke still remembered Cui Yunxiang. She sobbed and called out: "Mother Cui."

"Hey! Keke still remembers me coming." Cui Yunxiang hugged the two of them and walked into the yard, "Sister, let's go home, don't cry on the road."

There was nothing else in Wang Ying's mind except her lost daughter. She hugged Shi Ke tightly and did not let go, instinctively following Cui Yunxiang's footsteps.

More people gathered around, "Keke has grown into a big girl."

"No, he's over eight years old."

Everyone was talking to each other, and they were still reluctant to leave after they were sent to the house.

There were too many people, and Shi Dayong was pushed aside. He stared at the two women in the crowd. Shi Dayong's vision was blurry. When everyone left, he jumped into the car, drove to the gate, and wiped the tears on his face.

After wiping away the tears, I started to move my luggage down.

Sun Xiufang hugged Shi Nian and left the crowd, and asked her eldest granddaughter who was crying and hiccupping, "Keke, do you still remember grandma?"

"Grandma." Shi Ke called out and looked at the little boy in her arms, "Grandma, is this my brother?"
