When Shen Dapeng stepped into the courtyard of the family building of the Public Security Bureau, the old man of the guard smiled and nodded in the room. There were still all kinds of motorcycles and bicycles parked in the courtyard. The narrow corridor became more inconvenient. The building doors of each unit were still dilapidated for many years. It was still uncertain which floor of the building was not lit.
Shen Dapeng walked into the innermost unit. As soon as he entered, he smelled the mixed taste of pickled vegetables and hydrochloric acid vegetables. It smelled bad, but he felt kind.
Step by step, I stepped onto the familiar stairs. I suddenly remembered that when I was just reborn, I walked in this stairs with my father one after another. At that time, he swore that he must be admitted to a good university, stand out, and buy a big house for your parents to enjoy their happiness.
Now he has been admitted to Shuimu University, which is second to none in the country. He has also opened a company and made money behind his parents' back, but the big house he once promised his parents has never been fulfilled.
It's not that Shen Dapeng is not filial and wants to break his promise, but as a freshman, he suddenly takes out a large sum of money to buy a house for his parents. His parents will certainly doubt and worry. Instead of worrying his parents all day, it's better to let the old couple continue to live a stable and down-to-earth life.
Standing at the door of my house, I looked at the two small jars placed by the door. They should be pickled vegetables by my mother. Open the lid. One jar is pickled cucumber and the other jar is pickled garlic!
Shen Dapeng sniffed the sweet and sour taste of garlic. He couldn't help but carry one end and ate directly. With the creaking sound in his mouth, his eyes were shining.
It hasn't changed. It's still this smell, mom's taste.
A clove of garlic was still chewing and tasting, but the door suddenly opened for some reason. My mother was carrying a garbage bag and was about to put it behind the door.
Both mother and son were stunned. This scene was too dramatic.
"Dapeng, why did you come back so soon?"
"I called you. Yesterday's train arrived today!"
"I thought, I thought you would go out with your friends and won't come back today."
"I don't want to have a party. I want to eat my mother's meal!"
"Eat! Do it! Mom, I'll do it for you! "
"Mom, are you... Not going to let me in?"
"Ah?" Liu Fengyun just remembered. After talking for a long time, his son didn't enter the house. He immediately giggled and laughed at himself, "look at my head. It's all chaotic when I'm excited. My son and mother miss you so much. Come in!"
"Where's my father?" Shen Dapeng took off his shoes and entered the house. He put his package in the door. He walked all the way to the living room and didn't see his father. His father should be at home for three days on New Year's day.
"Oh, he seems to have a meeting in his unit. In the new year, there must be some messy policies and regulations. I don't understand. Anyway, your father is tired these days."
Liu Fengyun was as happy as winning the lottery. His mouth was almost at the root of his ear. He kept smiling and staring at his son, as if he could never see enough.
"Mom, don't look at me like that. What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Your son is handsome. Why don't you show him? My dear eldest son, you have no conscience. People say that you married your daughter-in-law and forgot your mother. You are still in school and have forgotten your parents. You say, how many calls did you make to your family in a semester? "
"I......" Shen Dapeng gestured his fingers and finally had to smile awkwardly. He took the initiative to contact his family. It seems that he can count all his hands. It's really a bit outrageous.
"As soon as I wanted to call you, your father said that I was a woman's benevolence. He said that you studied hard in the capital and didn't let me disturb you. It's a distraction. Ah, I wonder. If your son and parents call, you can't study well?"
"It's OK not to call. I can't see you anyway. Think or think! In autumn, I knitted you a pair of woolen pants. Some time ago, your grandmother filled the cotton pants with new cotton. I wanted to send them to you. Your father still wouldn't let you. He said that the capital is a metropolis. People don't wear their own woolen pants and cotton pants. They all wear beautiful ones in the mall. "
"Later, I went to the mall to see. Cotton padded clothes and trousers are really beautiful, but they don't keep warm. Your legs can't be frozen when you grow up. Otherwise, when you get old, you will have cold legs like your grandmother!"
"Oh, by the way, the peanuts planted at your grandmother's house are used to replenish qi and blood and nourish the stomach. I'm afraid you'll have stomach problems when you eat bad food outside. I want to mail them to you. Your father still won't let you. He said that things in the countryside will humiliate you. He tried his best to talk nonsense. I don't know my own son. My son is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich..."
For a long time, Shen Dapeng sat on the sofa and didn't say a word. He just listened to his mother's disorganized sentence after sentence. It seemed that there were endless words, endless stories and endless grievances.
"Mom, why didn't you mail it to me? You don't know. I'm uncomfortable wearing woolen pants and cotton pants bought in the store. They're not as soft and warm as you and grandma! "
"Look, I'm right. Your father, even a stubborn donkey, I can't be stubborn. In the past six months, I don't dare to call, mail clothes, and send food..."
"Mom! My son wants you too! "
Without waiting for Liu Fengyun to say anything more, Shen Dapeng directly stretched out his hand and hugged his mother tightly. Unlike the loss and recovery when he was just reborn, he apologized for his parents' neglect, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.
"Son, I'm not saying your father doesn't care. It's just that your father has a good face and doesn't tell me, but he always asks your aunt secretly. He doesn't know yet. Your aunt told me everything. Hehe, you say he's too stupid, and you don't know that your aunt and I are close sisters!"
Liu Fengyun thought her words were misunderstood. She felt wronged and hurried to explain, but she held her son she hadn't seen for a long time and was reluctant to loosen her arms.
"Are you hungry, son? Mom will cook for you. It'll be ready soon! " Liu Fengyun suddenly thought that his son had been on the train all day and night. He should not have eaten yet. He was afraid that his son was hungry. He quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
Find a few simple side dishes in the fridge and start making noodles without trouble, "get in the car, dumplings, get out of the car! Mom cooked you noodles with stewed pork. How about it? I haven't eaten it for months. Is it greedy? "
"No, mom, don't say it first. My saliva will flow out." Shen Dapeng smiled and joked, looking around at this almost unchanged home.
The leather sofa under the buttocks was sunken and inelastic. I had said I would change it, but my father said it was comfortable to sit.
There are eight light bulbs in the overhead lamp, but four are still on all the time. My mother said it would save electricity.
The window on the windowsill leaked the wind, which made the curtains shake slightly. It should have been replaced with a more popular aluminum alloy window, but it still continued to use rusty old iron windows. My father said that the quality of old things was better.
