A few days later, Tongdao Xu returned to his hometown of Xujia Village with his family, mother, sister, son, daughter, nephew and others.
The company was temporarily handed over to his younger brother Xu Tonglu to manage.
Comrade Xu is planning to spend this summer vacation with his mother and others in his hometown in the countryside.
The main reason that prompted him to make this decision was that his mother "died soon" this time, although he later learned that it was all his mother's fault and deceived him.
But after this incident, Xu Tongdao realized that he should seize the time to fulfill his filial piety. His mother was already old. He remembered that more than ten years ago, when his mother first came to Tianyun City to help take care of the children, she always thought about returning to her hometown.
I like living in my hometown.
However, reality prevented him from living in his hometown in the countryside with his children for a long time.
And the mother was reluctant to leave her grandson and granddaughter and go back to her hometown to take care of herself.
Therefore, although Tongdao Xu had long ago knocked down the house in his hometown and rebuilt it, making the living conditions very good, more than ten years later, his mother Ge Xiaozhu still could not return to live in her hometown.
But this time she pretended to be seriously ill and was about to die, but it reminded Xu Comrade that since she missed her hometown so much, and he and his children could not live with their mother in Xujiacun all year round, then... maybe during the winter and summer vacations every year, she could
It became a good time for them to accompany their mother, Ge Xiaozhu, back to their hometown.
Moreover, since he has been out for so many years, he has become increasingly tired of big cities in recent years, and his nostalgia for his hometown has become stronger and stronger.
After making the decision, he handed over all the company's affairs to his younger brother Xu Tonglu in a few days.
Then, he took his mother and others, accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards, back to Shuiniao City, Shazhou County, and Xujia Village.
Sure enough, as soon as her mother Ge Xiaozhu returned here, her whole mental state changed.
Even before she entered the village, her face was filled with a smile of joy.
When she entered the village and saw familiar villagers and familiar plants and trees, she seemed to laugh more than usual in a month.
Not only was she happy, Ge Yuzhu, Xu An'an, Xu Le, Xu Jian and others who came with her were also very interested. Along the way, they discussed in the car where to go and what to play when they returned to their hometown.
wait.
Their topic also aroused Comrade Xu's thoughts.
He couldn't help but also thinking - when he returned to his hometown for the summer vacation, where should he go? Who should he meet? What should he do?
etc.
A week after returning to his hometown, he walked around all the relatives and friends who were able to walk around, including Comrade Xu. No matter where he went, he was an honored guest and was warmly received by the whole family of relatives and friends.
A week later, he had some free time and suddenly wanted to visit the county town.
Especially the red light street where he and Xu Tonglin set up a stall together.
I want to see what it has become now.
By the way, I also went to meet Xi Dongyang, who had returned to Shazhou County to live a stable life.
If you want to go, go.
That afternoon, Comrade Xu took a car and came to Shazhou County, accompanied by four bodyguards, to the red light street by the river.
During the day, the red light street still looked as deserted as he remembered.
Even more deserted than he remembered.
Some of the storefronts and signs in his memory were gone, the houses on the entire street seemed to have been rebuilt, and there were no more red lights in the entire red light street.
Even the small newsstand run by Wu Yali's mother has disappeared.
The whole street looked completely different to Xu Tongdao.
Some of the familiar features from back then are missing.
The black Bentley slowly stopped on the side of the road at Xu Tongdao's signal. Xu Tongdao lowered the window glass and stared blankly at this completely changed street. He felt a little disappointed. He felt that the times were developing, but development
At the same time, it is also constantly erasing the past memories of their generation.
It's true that things are different and people are different.
He is not old yet! He is only in his thirties and before he is forty, the streets he once knew have completely changed.
If I grow old, will I still be able to find a trace of my childhood memories?
Suddenly, his scattered eyes became focused, and he looked fixedly at the front of a shop more than ten meters away with half-squinted eyes, where there was the back of a woman he was very familiar with.
That domineering figure, butt bigger than shoulders...
A look at such a figure is impressive.
What's more, he had seen more than once or twice back then?
Wu Yali!
Tongdao Xu was surprised that he accidentally saw Wu Yali on this unrecognizable street.
Why is she here?
He saw her moving a box of something from the compartment of a van into a nearby shop. A moment later, she came out of the shop again, carrying another box of something from the van, and left.
Entering the store, the cycle begins again and again...
Is she unloading?
Does that shop belong to her family? Is she running it herself? Or is her mother running it?
Tongdao Xu was guessing in his mind. He couldn't sit still. He subconsciously adjusted the collar of his shirt and said casually: "I see an acquaintance. I'll go over and have a chat later. You guys shouldn't follow him."
In the car, Zheng Meng, Sun Aizi and others all frowned.
"Boss, isn't this bad? How about we send two people to follow you?"
"Yeah, or just one."
…
Several people made suggestions one after another.
Comrade Xu waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, I have the final say!"
With that said, he had already opened the car door, got out of the car and walked towards Wu Yali.
Although the few bodyguards in the car felt uneasy, no one dared to follow him out of the car.
After a while, Comrade Xu came to Wu Yali, and she moved another carton of something from the van to the convenience store next to her.
Comrade Xu stepped forward, took the cardboard box from her hand, smiled and said, "I'll help you."
He was about 1.8 meters tall. When Wu Yali heard this, she looked up and saw his face. When she saw it was him, she looked very surprised.
"You...why are you here? Are you back?"
While asking in surprise, she subconsciously looked around.
Comrade Xu wondered, "Sister Yali, what are you looking at?"
Wu Yali: "You came alone? Where are your bodyguards? I saw in the news that every time you appear, you are accompanied by many bodyguards. Didn't you bring them with you today?"
Tongdao Xu burst out laughing, holding the cardboard box in his hand and walking towards the convenience store next to him, "Are you running this store? Or is your mother running it?"
Wu Yali: "Oh, I'm the one running the store. My mother is getting old and can't do it anymore, but she can usually help me look around the store..."
Wu Yali followed him step by step, subconsciously answering Comrade Xu's questions.
In fact, while talking, Comrade Xu also saw Wu Yali's mother. Her mother was sitting behind the cashier, eating melon seeds. Beside her, there was a young man about twenty years old, sitting there purring.
He shoveled a bowl of noodles into his mouth, seemingly very hungry.
While eating the noodles, he said in a rough voice: "Grandma, these noodles are overcooked and lose their flavor. Next time, cook them less!"
Wu Yali's mother, who was sitting next to him, agreed with a smile.
Hearing the voice, Comrade Xu subconsciously looked at the young man. The child called Wu Yali's mother grandma, so he should be Wu Yali's son.
only……
When Tongdao Xu glanced over, his eyes became a little straight, and it was difficult to look away.
Because the face shape and facial features of the young man who was eating noodles looked very much like Xu when he was young.
this……
What's going on?
He mechanically turned his neck to Wu Yali little by little, and asked Wu Yali for confirmation with his surprised eyes. Wu Yali noticed where his eyes were just now, and the change in his expression. When she saw him looking at her, Wu Yali's face changed slightly, and the air seemed to
Everything suddenly became quiet.
After a few seconds, she smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.
