After leaving the company, Zhang Haidong hurriedly called Du Jing to explain the situation, and then rushed home.
…
In the warm little home, her daughter happily held Snow White and spun around in circles, while Zhang Haidong stood in front of the mirror and let Du Jing help him arrange his clothes.
"Not to mention, husband, you are definitely a successful white-collar worker in a suit! Your temperament is there! But you are just a little rough and you don't know how to straighten your collar. If you want to meet our parents, you must correct your attitude.
Well!"
Du Jing said softly.
"Yes, everything my wife said is right."
"loquacious!"
Du Jing lightly punched Zhang Haidong.
"Stand here and don't move. I'll find some scotch tape to help you collect the dust on your body. Our house is leaky and the dust is so heavy that it ruins such fine clothes."
Du Jing said, opening the drawer.
Zhang Haidong silently enjoyed this little happiness, and then said with a smile, "It's okay, what's there to be afraid of if there's dust? Your husband, I'm born with beauty and it's hard to give up. Even if I wear it with dust, I still don't have the temperament of a CEO? There's no need to get it, it's a waste."
time."
"Virtue! Just be narcissistic!"
Du Jing took the transparent tape and punched him on the shoulder again.
"Stand up straight, otherwise I won't be able to hold it steady."
"Bah! Bah!"
After the sound of the transparent tape sticking, the dust on the clothes disappeared.
Instead, there was a brand new suit.
Clean and refreshing, the whole temperament has obviously improved by three points.
Du Jing walked around in a circle and then said with satisfaction: "This is what's happening! At least it has to be this way! Okay, do you want to hold the child or get the gift? Let's divide the work."
She put the scotch tape back in the drawer and asked softly.
"Let me get the gifts, there are so many of them, my hands will hurt..."
Before Zhang Haidong finished speaking, Qianqian rushed into his arms: "Qianqian wants daddy to hug her. Mommy wants to bring gifts. Mommy will be tired if she holds Qianqian!"
"So good! You are indeed my precious daughter!"
Du Jing kissed her daughter gently on the face and then picked up the gift.
But Zhang Haidong felt that the little cotton-padded jacket he was wearing seemed to be leaking air.
After the family of three got on the bus, Zhang Haidong looked out the window.
This was the first time he really went to see his parents after his rebirth.
He was a little nervous and a little expectant.
Because when he was just reborn, it was not that he had never thought about meeting his parents, but the cold and heartfelt answer stopped him and made him dare not get even half a step closer.
Then in the slow life, I more or less understood my past self, and began to take responsibility and transform myself.
The transformation that has taken place now has completely separated the present self from the past self.
Only in this way can this broken home be restored.
Only by letting parents feel the changes in themselves can they try to accept themselves again.
Because even among loved ones, once the separation becomes a huge scar, it cannot be healed.
You can only make up for it slowly.
Zhang Haidong knows this very well.
I have made changes now.
As for the huge scars left by my past self on my parents, I will definitely try my best to make up for it.
As long as I can hold on...
As long as there is enough time...
call!
Parents really won’t kick me out!
Even for the sake of my daughter and Du Jing, I wouldn’t do this!
Zhang Haidong thought in his heart.
…
The bus has arrived.
This site is familiar to you.
From elementary school to high school, Zhang Haidong took the bus at this stop for 11 years.
Jingang Community Station.
The once painted stop signs have long been replaced by platforms that can protect against wind and rain.
Things are different and people are different!
Zhang Haidong was a little emotional, his eyes were red, and he looked ahead blankly.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Du Jing turned around and asked.
"Ah, I'm fine."
Zhang Haidong quickly came to his senses, held his daughter in his arms, and walked towards the alley with Du Jing.
"When you meet our parents, even if you are scolded, you must keep your attitude straight, lower your head and accept it humbly. After all, you were the one who made the mistake..."
As Du Jing walked, she explained to Zhang Haidong seriously.
But Zhang Haidong, who was holding his daughter in his arms, didn't listen to a word.
Looking at the community now with the walls added, I feel a little more separated than before.
The canteen opened by Old Li Tou at the entrance of the alley is still open, but Old Li Tou is no longer the same as before, his hair is already full of white.
Seeing the familiar scenes of things changing and people changing, Zhang Haidong's mind was filled with the shadows of happiness in the alley back then.
"Dong'er, what is your goal when you grow up?"
"My goal when I grow up is to be a big boss! Make a lot of money! Let my parents live in a big villa!"
"Why? Is Big Boss so good?"
"Of course! The big ones eat the small ones, and the small ones get eaten! Even if I can't be the big boss in the future, I will still be big when I do other things! I must be big!"
"Then I want to be big too!"
The alley became happy.
The laughter and laughter lingered in my ears as if it were yesterday.
Unfortunately, time will never come back.
I remember that I once watched a foreign movie, and the setting in it was to fast forward your life.
But if it were Zhang Haidong, he would definitely refuse.
He wants to accompany this place to grow up slowly, and he wants to accompany this place to slowly get better.
Time flies slowly.
Everything has changed.
Zhang Haidong's eyes were red, and he was afraid that if he couldn't help it, he would shed tears.
At this moment, a familiar voice rang: "Dong'er is back?"
The voice was loud and full of surprise.
Zhang Haidong quickly held back his tears and took a closer look. It turned out to be Uncle Liu who was very close to his family.
Immediately he said quickly: "Uncle Liu, it's me who's back!"
"Quick, call Grandpa Liu!"
Zhang Haidong shook his daughter in his arms and said.
"Hello, Grandpa Liu!"
"Okay! Okay! It'll be good to come back! It will be great to reunite the family! Wait until I go and notify your father!"
Uncle Liu said that and ran towards Zhang Youfu's house.
"Dong'er? It's really you! Have you brought your wife and children back?"
Aunt Wang also walked out.
"Yes, Aunt Wang. I miss home and want to come home and see. Are you okay?"
Seeing these familiar people with gray hair, Zhang Haidong only felt warm and sad in his heart.
"Okay! You're fine! Is this your precious daughter? When you left two years ago, this little one just learned to walk, and in the blink of an eye, she has grown so big! Come on, grandma, come and give her a hug!"
Aunt Wang said and opened her hands.
"Yes! She's already in kindergarten! Qianqian, call me grandma!"
Zhang Haidong handed his daughter over.
"Hello grandma!"
Qianqian said obediently.
"Oh! What a kiss! You're so old!"
Aunt Wang held Qianqian in her arms and was so happy that she never let go.
Soon, the whole community became lively.
The old neighbors from back then have all come out, and everyone knows that the boy from the Zhang family is back!
…
Liu Cai'e was waiting at the door early.
She doesn't care what Zhang Youfu's attitude is, Zhang Haidong is the meat that falls off her body.
Even if I don't see you for a day, I miss you very much.
What’s more, four years have passed!
When she saw Zhang Haidong's family of three, Liu Cai'e became nervous and embarrassed.
Her hands tightly grasped the washed-out clothes.
I don't know whether to speak or wait.
mom!
Zhang Haidong’s eyes are wet!
My mother, who used to have long black hair, now has white hair on her temples!
It's all my fault!
"Time will go slower, don't let you get older..."
He rushed forward in three steps and then hugged Liu Cai'e: "Mom, I'm back!"
"Wow!"
Liu Cai'e couldn't hold back her tears anymore and burst out crying.
No matter where you go, no matter when and where!
What she misses every time is the piece of meat that fell out of her belly!
Besides him, who else can make me worry!
Tears wet Zhang Haidong's chest.
Liu Cai'e cried hard, and then pinched Zhang Haidong twice on the arm: "You heartless piece of shit, you won't come back to see me for four or five years! Don't you see if your mother is still here? Are you going to kill you?"
Mom forgot!"
Zhang Haidong was filled with guilt and he didn't know what to say.
I could only hug my mother hard, and then whisper in her ear: "Mom, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! It's all my unfilial piety! Let me make it up to you in the future, okay!"
"Okay! If you say this, Mom will be happy! It's not in vain that Mom was pregnant in October and gave birth to you from her belly!"
Liu Cai'e's face was filled with tears.
After a long time, Zhang Haidong finally separated.
"grandmother!"
A sweet voice sounded in my ears.
"Hey! My good baby! You are back to see your grandma!"
Liu Cai'e said, taking Qianqian from Aunt Wang's hand.
"Ouch! My little baby is so big now!"
Liu Cai'e excitedly kissed Qianqian's little face several times.
"Grandma, Qianqian is already in kindergarten!"
Qianqian said, taking out the certificate from her pocket with her little hands, opening it and saying, "Qianqian took the certificate just to make grandpa and grandma happy!"
Looking at the words on the certificate, Liu Cai'e cried again: "Good! Good luck to my precious granddaughter!"
"Stop crying, Lao Liu, don't you think Dong'er is doing well now? It's so cold in this weather, please let the children into the house!"
Aunt Wang said.
"Yes! Come in quickly, Jingjing! Don't catch a cold!"
Liu Cai'e greeted quickly.
"Okay, Mom!"
Du Jing walked in first, followed by Zhang Haidong.
call!
Zhang Haidong was stunned again.
The whole house no longer had the sofa from high school, and only a table with peeling paint remained.
On the lonely lock box, there is a color TV from more than ten years ago.
Looking around the room, there were only a few tattered chairs left.
You can tell at a glance how your life is going.
I actually made such a big mistake back then!
Let your parents live like this!
Zhang Haidong was so remorseful that he almost bit his steel teeth into pieces!
As for his father, Zhang Youfu, who had gray hair on his temples, he was sitting there solemnly.
