It was an eleven-hour train trip from the capital to his hometown of Xinfeng. Yang Chen boarded the train at night and arrived the next morning. He just happened to sleep in the soft sleeper compartment for one night, and did not encounter the legendary train encounter, hookup with a beautiful woman, and four people in the soft sleeper private room.
Gentlemen, two of them snore, one has stinky feet, and if the other one is less patient, he will probably be angry if he doesn't collapse.
Yang Chen had never suffered anything, and this matter was basically ignored by him. He slept until daylight, briefly washed up, stopped in the narrow aisle, stared out of the car window, and the scene of the rapid backwards became more and more familiar. Back then,
The thought of joining the army and leaving home came to mind.
He is not what he used to be.
Have the people or things in your hometown changed over time?
How are their parents' health and how are they doing? Li Nan should be in his junior year after this summer vacation. Which university did Xiao Nizi go to? Yang Chen, who has been completely out of contact with his hometown for many years, has ups and downs in his heart. The closer he gets to home, the more inexplicably uneasy he becomes.
, the train passed through the city and slowly entered the station, he suppressed his inner fluctuations and went back to the private room to get his things.
The impact of the beast of urbanization has also affected Xinfeng, which is located in the northwest. When Yang Chen walked out of the station, he was a little unfamiliar with the area around the train station. Xinfeng had changed... Yang Chen secretly sighed and stopped a car.
The taxi went straight to the old town, which has not changed much.
From the passenger seat, Yang Chen stared at the buildings on the roadside outside the car window and said slowly: "It's been five years, and the old city is still the same. There haven't been any big changes."
"The government has focused most of its energy on new urban areas and industrial zones. The year before last, it said it would renovate the old city, but there has been no action until now. I don't think the old city will be transformed within five years. The shantytowns in the urban villages are not scattered one by one. The government
I have a lot of energy but a lot of energy." The taxi driver talked eloquently, somewhat like a man from the capital city.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded.
The driver asked: "Young man, you haven't returned to Xinfeng in five years? Are you studying abroad or something?"
"Be a soldier." Yang Chen answered simply. After encountering so many hardships and almost escaping death, joining the army was still the honor of his life, and he had no regrets.
"You have been a soldier for five years. If you are not a cadre, you are at least a non-commissioned officer, right?" The driver asked tentatively. Yang Chen smiled and said nothing. The two of them fell into silence. The taxi went around and around to the Yang Family Restaurant. The appearance was the same as it was five years ago.
The same thing, except that the signboard has a new look. There are a few cars parked in the open space in front of the hotel, and it seems that business is good.
Yang Chen paid to get out of the car, stopped at the roadside and stared for a long time, his heart suddenly tightened, a feeling he hadn't felt in many years, even if he was facing death alone.
Mom and Dad, your unfilial son is back.
Yang Chen suppressed his excitement, walked quickly to the door of the restaurant, pushed the door open and entered. His heroic appearance immediately attracted the attention of several tables of guests. His casual clothes could not hide his unique temperament that had been tempered for thousands of years. The noise gradually dissipated and the room became quiet.
, he was about to walk to the kitchen in the back.
Yang Chen turned his head, and a familiar face came into view. Hu Zi, the younger brother of his good brother Shitou, was even tougher than before.
"It's really Brother Chen!" Huzi strode up to Yang Chen, as if seeing a relative who had been away for many years. He was so excited and happy, with tears in his eyes. The dozen or so strong men who came to eat with Huzi stood up one after another, whether they knew him or not.
Yang Chen all respectfully called Brother Chen. The other customers who came to eat were confused and looked at the young Yang Chen in surprise, wondering which elder brother this was.
Yang Chen is not the eldest brother.
But the world has its own legend.
Although not as shocking as Zhu Santan's Jianguo, he influenced many people and was remembered by many. Even now, stories about his deeds are still circulated among Xinfeng Middle School students.
Yang Chen nodded to the tough men who stood up to say hello, then patted Hu Zi on the shoulder and asked, "Is Shitou okay?"
Huzi nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, okay, Brother Shitou is very good. Now there is no need to piss off Boss Tan. He will bring us delicious food and drink, not to mention the scenery. Last month, we took over a large demolition project in the provincial capital."
, I’m busy in the provincial capital these days.”
The stones are mixed.
Even if the sword went astray, Yang Chen was still very happy.
At this time, the kitchen curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged woman walked out with a tray and met Yang Chen's eyes. She was stunned for a moment. The tray fell to the ground, and several dishes were scattered on the ground. She seemed not to notice, and still stared at Yang Chen.
Immediately, tears burst down my face. My son, whom I had missed for five years, was back.
"Chenchen..."
Yang Chen's mother, Liu Hua, was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She covered her face and looked at her son, crying all the time. She was worried about her son who had traveled thousands of miles and had no news for five years. It was such a torment for a mother.
Devastated, the movement outside alerted Yang Guodong in the kitchen, and he hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for causing you to worry."
Yang Chen quickly threw himself in front of his parents. He had been strong for five years and had never been weak in a desperate situation. Finally, he showed his soft side and tears came out of his eyes.
It's not that he is really weak.
It's guilt, self-blame, and heartache.
"Say sorry to me and your mother, just come back, just come back." Yang Guodong stroked his son's shoulder and repeatedly said it would be good to come back. He hopes that his son will become a successful person, become successful, and become famous all over the world. It is not as realistic as having a living, healthy son standing in front of him.
, come with peace of mind.
The family was reunited, and Huzi's group applauded.
Yang Guodong and Liu Hua, who were accustomed to frugality, were happy and announced that they would be free of charge for the customers present. However, no one really ate and drank for free. Yang Chen acted as a waiter and was busy all afternoon, during which he had sex with Hu Zi and his gang.
A glass of beer and his parents were fine, and he was even happier.
The customers gradually dispersed.
Yang's restaurant has returned to peace.
Liu Hua said that he would not let his son help clean up. Seeing that his son's white vest was stained with oil, he insisted on washing it. Yang Chen hesitated and refused to take off his vest.
Yang Guodong noticed something strange about his son, walked over, and lifted up his vest. What was eye-catching, besides the strong and toned muscles, were the criss-crossing and hideous scars, one after another like the roots of an old tree. It was shocking. Yang Chen quickly took a step back.
, pulled off his vest, pretended to smile casually and said: "The injuries I suffered in the army are all healed now."
Yang Guodong, who had fought in the self-defense counterattack in southern Xinjiang, knew clearly at a glance how much suffering and suffering his son had endured over the years, even better than his wife who was wiping away her tears. He was 30% distressed and 70% pleased: "You are better than dad."
The couple, Yang Guodong and Liu Hua, had a good understanding and did not ask Yang Chen what he had been doing in the past five years. When they learned that Yang Chen was going to Ningxi University to study in September, they were very happy.
"Chenchen, when you went to the army that year, the girl who saw you off at our door came to see me and your dad a few times. It seems that she was also at Ningxi University. You two are really destined to be together. I haven't seen that girl for a long time.
When will you bring her back for a meal?" His mother's unintentional words suddenly aroused Yang Chen's heart, and he was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.
First love, a man’s eternal concern.
Even if he died prematurely, he was still poignant and beautiful.
They were actually in the same university as Li Nan. Yang Chen, who had never been good at fantasizing and was ashamed of sexual immorality, couldn't help but yearn for a renewed relationship.
