A white Boeing 777 aircraft slowly landed on the ground, connected to the spiral staircase, opened the cabin door, and a group of passengers began to walk out of the aircraft one after another.
A young man wearing a shirt, leather jacket, jeans, and carrying a canvas bag got off the plane sleepily.
Just after walking down the spiral staircase, the young man suddenly knelt on the ground, and then kissed the ground hard. With tears in his eyes, he murmured to himself: "I, Hu Hansan, am back!"
Most people were not surprised by this young man's actions. Instead, they were more understanding. After all, this was a plane flying back from Africa. Although most people's experiences in Africa were different, they would have experienced some wars to some extent. , the shooting incident, after returning to the country, you will find that China is so good, the moon in foreign countries is really not as round as China.
Yu Zhiqian stood up from the ground, picked up his canvas bag, wiped his eyes, as if he was not the person who just kissed the earth and had a deep love for this continent. He jumped up and down and looked at the surrounding environment.
"I, Cao, haven't been back for two years. Why has Pudong Airport become so big? It's bigger than Hongqiao!"
"Hey, that's an Airbus 320, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, it's much bigger than the 777, give it a try if you have a chance!" Funny came back again, Yu Zhiqian pointed and muttered to himself as he boarded the shuttle bus.
Two hours later, Yu Zhiqian got on a plane to Donghai City at Hongqiao Airport. Donghai City is his hometown, an 18th-tier city in Su Province, a place more famous for monkeys than cities, well, the most famous. It's the Sun Wukong who has a master who rides a white horse and a pig-like junior brother.
The first thing Yu Zhiqian did when he returned to his hometown was that he didn't go home immediately. Instead, he took a taxi and headed to the county seat below Donghai City.
After the vehicle bumped on the road for more than an hour, it finally arrived at a small village. It was small, but it was not small at all. After all, there were hundreds of households. Compared to the city, it was the size of a small community.
The atmosphere of celebrating the New Year in the countryside is more lively than that in the city. You can see children playing with firecrackers everywhere, and there are also some young people returning home carrying New Year's goods with happy faces. Everything makes up a picture of all living beings during the New Year.
Yu Zhiqian carried his suitcase and large and small bags and arrived at a house in the east end of the village. The three-story small foreign-style building represented that the family was not poor. There was a "House of Glory" hanging on the door. It was given to this house by his old squad leader. It is an honor earned by every family. When the old squad leader chased a group of cross-border criminals for 72 hours, he won the second-class merit.
Compared with the bustle at the door of other people's homes, this family's home was much deserted. The door was closed tightly, and even the Spring Festival couplets were not hung. Yu Zhiqian sighed. According to the rules of their hometown, if a relative dies, within three years No lanterns or festoons are allowed inside.
Knocking on the door gently, a response came from the room. A woman who looked to be in her thirties opened the door. When she saw Yu Zhiqian, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly: "Xiao Yu is here. !”
"Xiaofang, who is it?"
"Mom, it's Xiaoyu!"
"Xiao Yu is here, come in!"
Yu Zhiqian moved his things in. In fact, Yu Zhiqian never knew how to face his old squad leader's family. At that time, the old squad leader took him to Africa to make a fortune. The two of them went out, but only one came back. What Yu Zhiqian was most afraid of was Just tears.
"Xiao Yu, are you back from Africa?" The mother of the old squad leader is an out-and-out rural woman. Her greatest pride in her life is that she sent her son to the army and also made meritorious service. She praised her son, but later Yu Zhiqian heard that after the old squad leader left, she never mentioned it.
"Auntie, I'm sorry!" Yu Zhiqian knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to her.
"I can't do it, I can't do it! Get up quickly. I don't blame you for that. It's my son's fate. Please get up quickly!"
Yu Zhiqian knelt on the ground, took out the money wrapped in a paper bag from his pocket, a total of 200,000 yuan, and handed it over: "Auntie, the murderer has been found. This is the compensation money, a total of 200,000 yuan. Please take it. !”
"This, this, this..." Yu Zhiqian held up the money. The old squad leader's mother looked at the money, sighed, and waved her hand: "This money is yours, right? Although I have never seen the world, aunt. But I’ve asked people about that place in Africa. It’s chaotic there and the people are still poor. Even if we find someone, who can pay 200,000 yuan? Just keep your own money!”
Yu Zhiqian shook his head: "Auntie, this is really the money the murderer compensated. He was caught and sold the house. This is still part of the compensation. The rest of the money will have to wait until he sells other things to pay off the debt. You take it first, and I will send you the rest of the money!"
"This, this, this..."
"Auntie, take this money, if you don't want it I won't get up!"
"Hey, Xiaofang, take the money!"
The mother of the old squad leader finally let Xiaofang accept the money. Yu Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and opened his suitcase: "Auntie, these are the specialties I brought back from outside. There are big crabs and big crabs." Lobster and other things are good for your health, so you and your uncle should eat more!"
After saying that, he stuffed them all in without caring whether he wanted them or not. These were all cooked goods, not valuable in Africa, but in small villages, they were considered rare food.
"Xiao Yu, please stay and eat!"
"Auntie, no need. I have to go home. I haven't been back for almost two years. I'll come over to see you in two days. Don't worry, the monitor is gone. You will be my mother from now on. I will definitely take good care of you in the future. !”
Finally, after being persuaded by his aunt, Yu Zhiqian still did not leave and was left to have a meal. Halfway through the meal, Yu Zhiqian left the room on the pretext of going to the bathroom, went to the main room, and opened his suitcase. As expected, there was the 200,000 handed over before. He shook his head, took out the money, silently placed it in the corner of the room, covered it with a dustpan, and continued back to the kitchen to eat.
The mother of the old squad leader is very smart. In her words, although she has never seen the world, she is very thoughtful. When he saw Yu Zhiqian taking out 200,000, he knew that the money was taken out by Yu Zhiqian himself, so he must She wanted to keep Yu Zhiqian for dinner and wanted to put the money back secretly, but Yu Zhiqian had already guessed her thoughts, so he put the money back again.
After dinner, I got on the shuttle bus back to the city. At the same time, I took out my mobile phone and sent a text message back: "Auntie, I put the money under the dustpan in the main room. This money is for my sister-in-law and Xiaowen to go to school!"
